Chapter 18: Shen Butcher

In the capital, in the study of the Wenxiang Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Wuqi sat in front of the oil lamp, quietly looking at the oil lamp, the light shining on his face.

A gust of wind blew, the lamp shook, and his shadow flickered on the wall, and it was easy to think of the words "wind and candles".

The butler brought a paper cover and put it over the lamp.

"Master, after Chen Ying sent you back to the house, he didn't directly visit the emperor, but went to the East Palace."

Wen Wuqi's eyes were full of light: "Even the emperor's personal eunuch has become the prince's person." Over the years, the emperor has become more and more neglected about state affairs. There is only one prince in the court, which saves the trouble of standing in line. ”

The housekeeper said: "Chen Ying is no longer the emperor's person, just two days before you returned to Beijing, Chen Ying was sent to the East Palace by the emperor." ”

Wen Wuzhen nodded, he also didn't understand the emperor's intentions.

The emperor doesn't like government affairs, and now the prince in the court is only the prince.

The civil and military officials don't even need to stand in line, and there is only one choice for the prince.

But Wen Wuzhen is not.

In his eyes, the minister is the emperor's minister and the people's minister.

How can you be loyal to the prince?

So under Wen Wuzhen's prestige, there are still many officials who have no feelings for the prince.

The end of the year is approaching, and the court is still so non-stop!

Wen Wuqi sighed in his heart, and then remembered the rice cake shop in the market.

Picking up the teacup, he took a slow sip of tea and said:

"In the past two days, go to the rice cake shop on Chengnan Street, buy some rice cakes and come back, don't forget."

The housekeeper nodded yes, and Wen Wuzhen said, "The young man at the door of the cake shop, have you found out who it is?" ”

The housekeeper nodded, it wasn't long, and there were a lot of onlookers, so there was no reason not to find it.

"I found out, he is the doctor of the Lu family's pharmacy, his name is Li Yan."

As the butler's voice fell, Wen Wuzhen froze there.

It wasn't until the hot tea in the cup scalded his fingers that he came back to his senses.

Wen Wuqi put down the teacup and sighed: "It's been ten years, not only are people getting older, but their courage has also become smaller......

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the study, and the housekeeper saw that Wen Wuzhen was still thinking about something, so he turned around and went out.

It was the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion who came.

"Steward Sun, there is someone outside the door, I want to see the master."

Steward Sun said: "They are all old people in the family, and they are still so reckless." The master has just returned, and it is late, so let him come back another day. ”

The porter listened to the housekeeper's unhappy tone and explained: "Yes, I was going to drive him away, but the man said that his name was Li Yan, and a few years ago, the master told him to have such a ......."

The porter was about to leave, but Steward Sun stopped him and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Outside the Prime Minister's Gate, a tall lantern hangs on the door, which is ajar.

A porter stood under a lantern and watched the visiting Li Yan.

The appearance is upright, and the temperament is peaceful.

is obviously a very ordinary person, standing here, but he doesn't dare to underestimate him.

He is the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he has seen a lot of high-ranking officials on weekdays.

Even the crown prince has been on the door a few times.

For some reason, this man is just different.

There seemed to be a sense that the comer was not good, and then the porter put his mind at ease.

This is the Wen Xiang Mansion, and the Shen butcher who was the number one killer in the list of killers that year has all returned, not to mention the young man in front of him!

The door opened wider, and Steward Sun walked out of the door.

Although Steward Sun is old, his steps are still very light and steady.

Li Yan doesn't know why, these two slightly contradictory adjectives appear in the same person.

But there is no doubt that this is the feeling that Steward Sun gave him.

"The old grandson is the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I don't know what happened when the distinguished guests came to the door."

When Steward Sun saw such a young man outside the door, he felt a little contempt in his heart.

If he hadn't remembered the name "Li Yan" a little, he would have blown Li Yan away a long time ago.

The first time he heard the name was ten years ago.

At that time, Wen Wuqi was not yet the prime minister.

Because of the rectification of business, many businessmen have been offended.

Someone on the rivers and lakes offered a reward of 3,000 taels of silver to take Wen Wuzhen's life.

Wen Wuqi is not simple, and he set up a net to catch the businessman who posted the reward.

But just when Wen Wuqi killed Shang Jia and withdrew the reward.

Suddenly, someone offered a reward for his head for a tael of silver.

This is not only contempt for the rivers and lakes, contempt for Wen Wuzhen, but more directly, contempt for the killer list.

It was originally a ridiculous thing, but when someone took the bounty, no one thought it was ridiculous.

The reason is very simple, that killer is called Shen Butcher.

Shen Butcher, who is the number one on the killer list.

At that time, there were no long-haired monks.

The number one killer on the list is Shen Butcher.

This name can even be compared to the word Hades.

Wen Wuqi tried his best to collect information about Shen Butcher.

Because this person is so mysterious, even if it is a killer, he does not know who Shen Butcher is.

But just when someone learned the news of Shen Butcher, Wen Wuzhen was poisoned.

And the news I got was: Shen Butcher used poison without permission.

There is no doubt that the person who came to deliver the letter was Shen Butcher.

A lot of people came that night.

Lu Tang and Xiong Yu's master, Xiong Dayuan.

The great eunuch served as the teacher.

Golden Eagle hand Han Yingfei.

Two heavily armed Kingsguards.

The city guards were on guard overnight.

These people can almost stop tens of thousands of Dinglan troops.

But there is only one enemy, Shen Butcher.

At that time, they didn't know whether Shen Butcher was a butcher surnamed Shen or a man surnamed Shen Tu.

Knowing that Wen Wuzhen was poisoned, the poison was very strong, and Wen Wuqian had no close contact with anyone, so he was poisoned.

He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the person who came to deliver the letter.

So, Xiong Dayuan made a move and served as a teacher

Yes, they didn't catch the Shen butcher.

Fighting alone, Shen Butcher is not their opponent.

But Shen Butcher is full of poison, and there is still a way to escape.

That night, Xiong Dayuan was highly poisoned.

Ren Shizhong was defeated.

Two teams of the Royal Guards were wiped out.

Fortunately, Shen Butcher also left an arm.

After that night, the man seemed to disappear into the city.

Su Yunding, the owner of Yaowang Mountain, arrived overnight to detoxify Wen Wuqi.

But in the end, Su Yunding left a Dragon Tiger Essence Pill and left.

This is tantamount to announcing Wen Wuzhen's death sentence.

From this time, people knew that the world was not what the emperor said alone.

From that time, the imperial court also began to attach importance to the rivers and lakes.

So Xiong Dayuan's apprentice Xiong Yu became the head of the Northern Canglan Army......

The disciple of Yaowang Mountain entered the imperial hospital......

Even in the Royal Forest Army of the royal guard, there are more masters with names and surnames on the rivers and lakes......

Wen Wuqi didn't eat the Dragon and Tiger Essence Pill in the end.

While he was lying in bed waiting to die.

A teenager came.

The young man said that his name was Li Yan and he could save Wen Wuzhen's life!

No one knows how the boy did it, but since then, Wen Wuzhen has lived a good life.

The boy named Li Yan never appeared again.

But Wen Wuqi kept telling the porter that if a person named Li Yan came to the door one day, he must not be driven away.

In the past ten years, the people who came to the door were all protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials.

Until today, there is really a person named Li Yan.

Although ten years have passed, Steward Sun still has some impressions of him.

The teenagers of that year had become mature, and they were even less talkative than then.

"Your Excellency, what is the matter with visiting late at night?"

Li Yan looked at the gardener back then, and walked straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion past him.

Steward Sun's footsteps moved slightly, blocking Li Yan's way.

"Visiting late at night, and about to trespass before explaining the reason, Dr. Li, isn't it a little rude."

"If you want to be rude, ten years ago, Li Yan was much more rude than this. As for the origin...... When does the creditor need to come to the door? ”

After speaking, Li Yan ignored Steward Sun and continued to walk forward.
