In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June, the sun was so vicious, when Chu Shenxia passed by a candied fruit shop, he remembered Shen Yu's favorite dried green plums again, and he couldn't help it at the moment, so he asked a few old people to wait for a while, and quickly bought some dried green plums. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was distributed to a few old people to eat, but the old people shirked it and said that it was too sour, so they didn't take it, and Chu Shenxia didn't force it, so he was careful to hold it in his hands.

The carriage staggered towards Jiankang City, Chu Shenxia lifted the corner of the curtain, and the street was still as bustling as before, but his heart always felt dull.

At the gate of the East Palace, the carriage stopped, and someone asked, "Who is in the car?" ”

The coachman lifted the curtain of the car, and the person on duty today turned out to be Lu Zhi, Chu Shenxia looked at him steadily, Lu Zhi suddenly looked away somehow, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.

Chu Shenxia was surprised, so he simply jumped out of the carriage, stood opposite him, turned his head to look inside the carriage and said, "These old men are the family members of the fisherwoman and her husband. ”

The look in Lu Zhi's eyes did not go down for half a minute, but became heavier, his mouth opened a few times, and he couldn't say half a word, he looked like he was obviously in trouble, and the embarrassment on his face was clearly related to himself.

Chu Shenxia was puzzled: "Is there something?" ”

Lu Zhi's eyes were shocked, he was a little surprised, hesitated again and again, and still said, "You go and ask Your Highness." ”

Chu Shenxia replied "Okay", and climbed into the carriage again, he had to settle these old men first, the moment the curtain was lowered, he caught the strange face of the person outside the car, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

He and Lu Zhi were the only two people in the East Palace who could enter the hall at will without a notice, and when he settled the old man into the hall, he found that Lu Zhi was also there.

Liu Yan saw him come in and looked at him with a sad gaze, compared to Lu Zhi's complicated and strange eyes, Chu Shenxia felt that Liu Yan's gaze was much more comfortable.

Chu Shenxia saw that the two of them were always looking at him silently, and he was stunned for a moment before saluting and said, "Your Highness, I have found the fisherwoman's family." ”

"Hmm." Liu Yan spit out a word lightly, and the pain in his eyes did not disappear by half a minute.

Chu Shenxia laughed and said, "I don't have to stay there to marry a wife and have children." ”

The two of them were indifferent, Chu Shenxia gradually retracted his smile, and said with a straight face: "Your Highness, but what went wrong on Cong Jian's side?" Has the emperor reinstated him? ”

Liu Yan shook his head, Chu Shenxia couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice: "What happened, please tell Your Highness clearly." ”

"You ......" Liu Yan said a word, and he couldn't say it anymore, and the pain in his eyes turned into unbearable and sympathetic.

Chu Shenxia caught this look, his heart shook suddenly, and he slowly spit out a sentence: "Is something happening in my family?" ”

Liu Yan nodded, got up on the table, walked in front of him and said, "A few days ago, your father's purchase of officials was discovered, and my father ordered the sixth brother to assist in the review. ”

When Chu Shenxia heard that it was a few days ago, thinking that it was still early, he thought for a moment and asked, "Then how is the case going?" And who is the traitor? Is the chief judge Chen Que? Has my father confessed? ”

Hearing him ask so many questions, Liu Yan sighed heavily, turned his face sideways, and rolled out a few words from his throat: "Those are not important." ”

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"The case was handed down a few days ago, and your father was sent to the execution ground on the same day." Liu Yan always turned his head, as if he didn't dare to meet Chu Shenxia's eyes.

There was a "boom", as if a thunderbolt exploded in Chu Shenxia's heart, and before he could react, Liu Yan continued: "Ruoyu and Lu Zhi and I thought of robbing the prisoner, and that day, the prisoner robbery was indeed successful. ”

When Chu Shenxia heard this, he didn't dare to show half of his joy, thinking that he must have something to say, and sure enough, he continued: "After Lu Zhi intercepted your father, he went to Qishan, where there are people arranged by me, and I originally planned to send the people arranged by your father to Qingzhou. But I didn't expect that, I don't know if the news leaked or there was a mole, those people waiting in Qishan actually had murderous intentions towards Lu Zhi and your father, chased them relentlessly, and forced them into the mountains. ”

Liu Yan glanced at Chu Shenxia with his spare eyes, and saw that he had not yet shown any radical expression, he took a slight breath, and then said: "Although Lu Zhi and your father escaped the killer, they got lost in the deep mountains, your father was poisoned, and he was forced to swallow poison by the sixth brother before getting into the prisoner's car, he saw that he didn't have much physical strength left, and he didn't want to involve Lu Zhi, so he committed suicide. ”

"Your mother ......" Liu Yan said this, his throat shook involuntarily, which scared Chu Shenxia a lot, and asked urgently, "How is my mother?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, your mother is fine, she was taken away by your grandfather, and before leaving, I heard that the house was sold, and the slavery in the family should be dismissed. ”

Chu Shenxia clenched the fist in his hand, the sound of bones "gurgling", and Lu Zhi took two steps towards him, handed him a box in his hand, and explained: "He wrote a suicide note that day, and asked me to pass it on to you." ”

Chu Shenxia took it, took out the clothes that looked very embarrassed, frowned, and touched the clothes, he seemed to be able to imagine what a miserable picture his father was before he died.

Chu Zhi wrote on his shirt:

Shen Xia, the rebel son, has never returned home for eight years, and has never called me father again, and in the few times we have met, he has never looked at me squarely, and he is deeply saddened by his father.

I have been in the officialdom for eight years, and I know that you hate me very much for abandoning business and politics, especially buying officials, but now, I have also suffered retribution.

Your brother Shen Yu's case, you are not convinced, I know, I have also collected a lot of evidence over the years, all of which are the evidence of the crimes of some officials in the officialdom, and may be useful for you to overturn the case for Shen Yu in the future.

I have hidden the things, you go to find them yourself, and your mother, thinking that she is going through the pain of life and death again, my heart is like a knife, you must take care of your mother.

For the father, I don't ask you to glorify your ancestors, but only for you and your mother to live this life safely.

Lu Zhi saw that his hand holding the strip of cloth was shaking violently, and he didn't dare to look at the expression on his face, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Before your father left, there was one more thing to ask me to ......."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Shenxia had already turned his face to look at him, and Lu Zhi couldn't help but take a step back when he met his terrifying expression, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry for Shen Yu, but I've never been sorry for you." ”

Chu Shenxia's eyes were scarlet, his whole face was as tight as a string, he didn't dare to imagine how much power the tight string would pop up after it was relaxed, Liu Yan was a little worried and said, "Shen Xia ......"

The person in front of him turned around suddenly, his movements were so fast that people could hardly catch his figure, but fortunately, Liu Yan had already prepared in his heart, although he was not prepared for his action, but his body reaction was also quite fast, and he called "Lu Zhi", and the two of them stopped Chu Shenxia together.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Yan only felt that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but be even more nervous.

Chu Shenxia said something that surprised the two of them, "Kill." ”

"No, you can't go, although the guards of the Sixth Brother's Mansion are not as strict as those in the East Palace, they are not so easy to break into." Liu Yan saw him take two steps, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to stop in front of him.

The fire in Chu Shenxia's eyes suddenly burst out, and he almost roared out in anger, "I want to kill Liu Yu!" ”

Liu Yan and Lu Zhi were stunned for a moment, thinking that Chu Shenxia was confused, Liu Yan hurriedly said, "What's the matter with Brother Guan?" It was the idea of the sixth brother. ”

Chu Shenxia's eyes tightened, and his voice said with anger: "Impossible, this plan is interlocking, it doesn't leave people a way out, and after a dead end, it's still a dead end, can King Qing's head come up with this kind of plan?" If such a thunderous strategy is not Liu Yu, who is it? ”

Liu Yan was speechless by what he said, but Lu Zhi said: "I heard that it was an idea from one of his disciples, what is it called Yuanzheng......"

Liu Yan's eyes jumped, and when he saw the burning anger in his eyes, he was shocked again, and he only had time to say the word "cold" before he was taken away.

After a while, Liu Yan caught up with him again, grabbed him and said, "I'll go with you, and there are many people and many helpers." ”

"I'll go too." Lu Zhi and Ruoyu, who came later, also said in unison.

A trace of emotion flashed on Chu Shenxia's face, and the uncontrollable anger was instantly suppressed a little, suppressed the excitement of the roar, and said calmly and calmly: "No need, if the matter is revealed, I will only be crowned with the name of avenging my father, but you are different, working for His Highness, if something really happens, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to escape the blame." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for doing so much for me." Chu Shenxia suddenly bowed and saluted, so respectful that he didn't like any previous salute, and was silent for a while before getting up.

When he walked out further, Chu Shenxia's steps were no longer as urgent and fierce as just now, but he walked every step firmly and vigorously.

The sun was dissipating heat vigorously overhead, Chu Shenxia was wearing a black robe, but he felt that there was always a gust of wind around him, he clenched the sword in his hand, and jumped up to the wall of Qingwang's mansion.

He didn't hide his intentions in the slightest, but when the two patrolling soldiers approached this direction, he still subconsciously ducked behind the tree.

Gently pushing the scabbard, the hot gaze fell on the cold knife like flames, as if he was hesitating to kill the two soldiers.

In the end, he still didn't pull out his sword, and the hilt of the sword struck the shoulders and necks of the two people, and the two of them fell, Chu Shenxia changed into the clothes of one of them, and tied the two of them behind a tree, and then walked in openly.

"This girl, may I ask which room is the room of Yuan Zhengyuan Gongzi?" Chu Shenxia intercepted a woman dressed as a maidservant.

The woman looked him up and down, half-asked, half-asked, and said, "You look very fresh, you're new, it's no wonder you don't know." Yuan Gongzi lives in the most remote part of the house, in order to be afraid of being disturbed, No, just go there, bypass those courtyards, that's it. ”
