Chapter 1: The Abandoned Son
The sky is gradually dawning, the pale blue sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, the first fog of autumn is accompanied by the cold snap in the south, quietly spreading, the earth is hazy, as if covered with a white light veil, at this moment there is no summer heat, more autumn coolness, a thin layer of morning fog, everything becomes blurred, it is like the bride's white wedding dress, hazy and beautiful, through the layers of "thin veil", vaguely visible not far away of the woods in the morning mist shrouded like a fairyland as mysterious and ethereal.

Shen Yan woke up suddenly, and found himself lying on a shabby straw mat, covered in hot pain, as if he had fallen apart, and opened his eyes and looked around blankly, vaguely seeing a layer of white mist in front of him, as if he was in a fairyland.
"Wasn't I electrocuted? How did it end up here? Where is this? In a hazy way, Shen Yan found that he was wearing a bloodstained white robe, and his heart was full of uneasiness, surprise, and doubt.
Suddenly, Shen Yan's head hurt sharply, his whole body trembled, and a large amount of information appeared in his mind like a movie film scene by scene, Shen Yan gritted his teeth, and his whole body was wet with sweat, like taking a sauna.
I don't know how long it took, the sweat stopped seeping, the body stopped trembling, calmed down, Shen Yan's eyes looked extremely complicated, and the memory was slowly sorted out clearly.
"Well, this is not the earth, it's the Jingyuan Continent that I've never heard of, this person named Shen Yan turned out to be a guy who did all the bad things, this time he was found when he peeped at the county's daughter when he was out of the bath, and he was ordered to be beaten to death by Shen Banxian after the incident."
"Could it be that I took possession of his body by chance after I was electrocuted? Is this the popular soul wear? As the memory slowly woke up, Shen Yan's confused eyes looked extremely complicated.
"This is the Great Xia Dynasty, which has been established for more than 300 years, and the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty has created many wealthy families and wealthy families, and the Shen family in Lingnan is one of them, known as Shen Ban County. Shen Yan is the son of Shen Banxian, but he is neither a concubine nor a concubine, but the product of Shen Banxian forcibly pushing the maid after being drunk. ”
As if a dreamlike legend happened to him, Shen Yan still didn't believe it, and got up tremblingly, as if he wanted to find evidence to confirm that his idea was wrong.
"Well, what happened last night turned out to be a trap."
Shen Yan sighed with emotion, and some fragrant pictures of last night naturally appeared in his mind, although they were not completely digested, Shen Yan still found some strange things from these residual memory pictures, no matter how the owner of this body was, he didn't have the courage to sneak into the backyard of the county government to peep at the county order's daughter out of the bath, and let people catch him.
Since you don't have the guts to take the initiative to enter the backyard, it can only be said that this is a trap set by others.
"Who is it? What is the motivation? "No matter what a person does, he must have his motives, Shen Yan wants to melt more memories and find clues from them, but memory has played an international joke on him, and some of the pictures before and after peeping are like broken films, how can they not be coherent.
Through limited memory fragments, Shen Yan knew that the Shen family was a harmonious group on the surface, brothers, friends and brothers, but secretly intrigue and charm were not uncommon, could it be that someone thought that he was his roadblock, or did someone want to kill chickens and monkeys?
Is it possible that an outsider is trying to take revenge on himself?
No matter who it is and what the motive is, his own crossing has already broken his conspiracy, as long as he returns to the Shen family, he will inevitably have a follow-up conspiracy, with his embarrassing position in the Shen family, he has only one same ending.
"What should I do?" At the thought of facing the risk of dying again, Shen Yan's body trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because of fear or the cold of the morning attacking his weak body.
"Forget it, since you can't go back, let's leave, anyway, the Shen family doesn't have any emotions for me, and there are no people or things worth remembering." Thinking of the bleak road ahead, a trace of confusion flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, but then his eyes became resolute, dragging his weak and tired body towards the direction of the slim.
"Dad, we've been walking for most of the night, everyone is tired, can you rest here for a while." Shen Yan trembled through the grove where he had almost buried himself, a red morning sun shone like Buddha's light to dispel a layer of white hazy mist in the woods, gradually revealing the green and yellow branches and leaves, and there was a pleasant sound like a yellow warbler in his ears.
With a hint of curiosity and uneasiness, Shen Yan looked at the light of the morning sun, and dimly saw a carriage that was not luxurious parked under a relatively thick tree, and a Tsing Yi guard in front and behind observed the terrain with vigorous steps, revealing a strong confidence in his steps.
"Well, the road is indeed a little tired after most of the night, so let's rest here for a while and continue to hurry." Qiu Mubai's face showed some tiredness, and his resolute and wise eyes looked at Qiu Ying's snow-white and tender face, and a trace of tiredness appeared in his heart, but more of it was unease and panic.
"Lord Qiu must be very tired from the road in the middle of the night, for the sake of the roster and account books." Qiu Mubai sat on the wheel, his tense expression had just relaxed, and a sound full of energy came from his ears.
"Xu Yuanfeng, you are really ghostly." The uneasiness in his heart became a fact, and Qiu Mubai's tired face looked a little gloomy.
"I really don't understand that you are chasing all the way for that empty roster and account book?" Looking at Xu Yuanfeng's expression, although Qiu Mubai's expression was calm, he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.
"Roster books? Could it be that there is some bloody plot? The conversation next to the carriage penetrated into his ears word for word, Shen Yan's brows jumped slightly, and he couldn't hold back the uneasiness in his heart and looked at the carriage curiously, and the three black-clothed men stood behind the carriage one after the other.
"Why should Lord Qiu open his eyes and talk nonsense." A confident smile appeared on Xu Yuanfeng's face, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness in his eyes looking at Qiu Mubai, "Lord Qiu is a smart person, he knows the current affairs, and he should not be forced to use drastic means." ”
"I don't have the roster and account book you mentioned in my hand." Qiu Mubai knew the other party's background and the master's style of acting, so a trace of uneasiness flashed in his plain eyes, but the arrogance in his bones and the responsibility he shouldered, Qiu Mubai knew that he had no way to retreat, "You should be no stranger to the principles and positions of this official, don't say that this official does not have that fictitious roster and account book in his hands, even if there is, this official will not act for the tiger." ”
"Lord Qiu is treating the kindness of the lower as a donkey's liver and lungs, I don't know if Lord Qiu deliberately did this, or I don't believe that the knife in my hand is not sharp, so I have to force the next to use some violent means." Xu Yuanfeng chased after Qiu Mubai with a cat-and-mouse mentality, but the mouse suddenly deviated from his control, and Xu Yuanfeng's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of murderous intent.
"Haha, why don't you continue to show your gentlemanly demeanor, this is against your master's style." Qiu Mubai's eyes were full of banter, staring at each other with a righteous face, and his whole demeanor was completely death-oriented, but the hands behind his back trembled slightly, showing the fear and uneasiness in his heart at this moment, "Killing a court official without permission will be punished by one degree." ”
"Trespassing?" The corners of Xu Yuanfeng's mouth flashed with mockery and pride, "This place deviates from the avenue and is sparsely populated, as long as it is dealt with, who knows that Lord Qiu passed by here and was killed by Zaixia, even if it is known, so what, the living Lord Qiu is useful to the imperial court, and the dead, hehe, with the weight of the master, will operate a little, and no one will mention it after a while." ”
"I don't deny the weight of your master, even so, why bother to say more, do it, what is the official afraid of!" Qiu Mubai's eyes showed a trace of disdain, as a prince, he didn't know how to cultivate Taoguang and develop his own strength, and even this strength had already affected the emperor's court layout, and this may be the reason why the emperor did not make him the prince.
"Lord Qiu is an honest official, and he is even more upright, and he is deeply admired." The corners of Xu Yuanfeng's mouth were filled with a calm smile, as if he was holding the victory, "Lord Qiu is not afraid of death, but I don't know if Lord Qiu's beautiful daughter also has this courage." ”
"You ......" Qiu Mubai felt a nameless anger in his heart, the so-called misfortune could not reach his wife and children, but the other party threatened Yingxue's life with him, this move was too despicable, but he could only stare at the other party with angry eyes.
"Although the plot is bloody, don't get into trouble because of curiosity." Feeling the tense atmosphere on the edge of the forest, Shen Yan put his hands together, and a trace of curiosity, a trace of expectation, and a trace of fear of complex emotions emerged in his heart.
"Since the friends in the forest are here, why don't you show up and see them." When Xu Yuanfeng waved his hand and signaled his companion behind him to prepare to make a move, there was a slight sound in his ears, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he said calmly.
"Still discovered." The distance between Shen Yan and the carriage was only about a dozen trees, although he was very careful, his whereabouts were still exposed, and he had no possibility of escaping at all, and he couldn't let people who were familiar with him know that he was still alive.
"I don't know what to call a friend?" Looking at Shen Yan's blood-stained white shirt, a trace of doubt appeared in Xu Yuanfeng's eyes.
"I'm just an outcast, it doesn't matter who you are, I'm passing by here today, and I don't want to get involved in your rights and wrongs." Although he was very scared in his heart, facing Xu Yuanfeng with sharp eyes, Shen Yan's slightly pale face was not afraid.
"How daring." Seeing that Shen Yan, who was weak, looked directly at him, Xu Yuanfeng seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, his eyes were sharp, and his strong right hand slowly pulled out the single knife behind his back, locked all Shen Yan's retreats after pulling a knife flower, and slashed Shen Yan's face door with a single knife.
"It's a big game!" Looking at the blade that slashed at his chest, Shen Yan's eyes showed a trace of fear, sadness, nostalgia, and greed, and finally turned blank.
