This assassination made Shen Mengxi pay more attention to security issues.

It also made her suspicious of all the guards, and for the first time, she deeply understood the sadness of being in a high position and being untrustworthy. - A man with a lot of money looks like everyone is here to calculate his money, and whoever is an emperor looks like he is here to usurp the throne.

At that time, there were many guards who saw Wu Youji drilling in the case, including Shen Qi and Commander Lu, all of whom were suspicious, and she didn't let the guards seal her mouth afterwards, so all the guards were suspicious.

She had long thought that Emperor Wu would be her bodyguard or subordinate officials, servants and maids, how could a ruler tolerate being blind. Shen Mengxi tolerated the existence of this phenomenon, but after this incident, she just wanted to know who the eyeliner was, and she also wanted to know how many people she could trust.

In addition, what worries her the most is: who wants to kill her!

It was something she hadn't encountered in her life, and it kept her awake at night. Even when Chongqing was under the threat of Japanese bombing, she never had such a sense of insecurity. - Those bombings were against everyone, and this assassination was only against her personally.

Shen Mengxi quickly strengthened the security work of the princess's mansion, increased the number of guards, updated the patrol cycle, and raised four big wolf dogs and ten more vigilant geese to be responsible for night guards, and even made Shen 15 and Shen 16 personal maidservants.

Her twenty guards, sixteen men, and four women, from Shen Yi to Shen Twenty, were all selected by herself, some of them were high in martial arts, some were active in their brains, some were loyal, and some were ruthless, each with their own strengths. Now, she had to sieve them herself, not to get rid of them, but to take precautions.

The era of rebirth is backwards, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the beginning of the Republic of China, and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, life became more and more difficult, and she confirmed that although the first life had the most emotional setbacks, it was the easiest to survive.

She re-opened "The Art of War" to read and take notes, which was of no practical use, just to make her heart feel more reassured. She has been in the Tang Dynasty for four or five years, and as a princess, she actually has nothing to do and is constrained everywhere, but she is used to moving forward, used to improving herself, and used to not giving up. She always needs to learn some new knowledge and new skills to enhance her sense of security.

While laughing at her timidity, she familiarized herself with all the weapons in the fifth compartment of the Wuling space in the dead of night, until she could take out the weapons she needed with a single thought.

Tidy up, meditate for two quarters of an hour, lie down and go to bed. Before going to bed, I was inexplicably happy to think that such a panic guard could be regarded as a new experience in life.

As soon as Commander Lu returned to Luoyang, he was punished by Emperor Wu, beaten 20 boards, and returned home to recuperate.

It's a pity that he was hit twice in half a year.

Shen Mengxi asked Yin'er to visit on her behalf, sent gifts and medicine to show comfort, and let him recuperate at home, and continue to serve as the commander after recovering from his injury. Yin'er came back and said that when Commander Lu heard that he could continue to serve as the commander of the princess's mansion, his eyes were red, he struggled to kneel and kowtow, and said a lot of words of gratitude and loyalty.

"Yin'er, we judge a person, and we can't rush to conclusions. Don't look at what he says, look at what he does, and sometimes, even what he doesn't do. ”

Yin'er didn't seem to understand, "Auntie, Yin'er wrote it down." ”

******

The efficiency of the Magistrate's Court was extremely high, and the Yan Pu brothers and You Chongwen quickly confessed, because Lai Junchen took out the holy decree and said that as long as he pleaded guilty in the first instance, his relatives could be exempted from the death penalty.

It is really in response to the sentence in the "Luo Weaving Sutra": "People are afraid, and they are afraid of persecution." ”

Man has what he fears, and he persecutes him with what he fears, and there is nothing that he does not accept.

Lai Junchen threatened the lives of the Yan family and the You family, either after a round of torture and then confessed, and then died with the whole clan, or confessed early and then died himself.

The Yan brothers and You Chongwen knew that they would not be able to leave the magistrate's house, so they would naturally choose to die by themselves and confess their guilt.

But You Chongwen confessed to the crime of treason, but he always refused to admit the assassination of Princess Taiping.

In the end, Lai Junchen threatened his family again, and You Chongwen pleaded guilty to the crime.

You Chongwen, who was in the magistrate's house, how did he know that on the third day of entering the prison, Yan hanged himself with all his female dependents. The ugliest scene is always staged in the deep prison, the cell guards are full of ugliness, and after they squeeze the silver coins and jewelry in the hands of the prisoners, they will take the young female prisoners away, or simply be in the prison and insult them on the spot.

On the second day of Mrs. Yan's imprisonment, she witnessed the tragic situation in the prison opposite, and heard the girl's mournful cry, she calmly analyzed the current situation, and said to her daughter-in-law and granddaughters: "The day died of the You family, it fell into the hands of the Junchen, and the Yan family of the You family could not escape the beheading of the door, even if it did not die, it was a man who was exiled for thousands of miles, and a woman was returned to the Jiaofang Division. ”

The ladies all cried when they heard this, and Mrs. Yan looked at her flower-like granddaughter and closed her eyes in pain: "It's the Yan family that has affected you, and it's the grandmother who can't stand you." In the next life, I will give birth to a good family, don't marry into a family official, be a commoner, be a little harder and tired, I will not be punished for such an inexplicable reason. ”

The eldest granddaughter cried and said, "Grandmother, what is the point of being a human being if your granddaughter does not want to be in the next life?" Whether it is for the government or the people, it is suffering, and the granddaughter would rather be a bird and fly wherever she wants! ”

"Okay, then let's all go with my grandmother, and I won't suffer from this world!"

Shen Mengxi learned the news that Mrs. Yan had been dead for two days. Her heart was very blocked, with her understanding of Lai Junchen, even if Yan Pu and the others confessed, he would still order someone to kill the male of the Yan family and the You family on the way to exile. Whether it is arresting, adjudicating, or executing, it is more like playing a game, or these are ways to enrich his psychological knowledge, and can be both presented and deterred at the same time.

At the same time, she also got a report from the guards, and the Yan Pu brothers usually spoke and had a favor for Li Tangyin.

She sighed,—— the family was going to die.

Half a month later, the Yan brothers and You Chongwen were beheaded at the noon gate, and Shen Mengxi wore men's clothes and took Shen Qi to watch the execution.

The relatives of the Yan family were detained at the execution ground to watch the execution, and then they were to be escorted to Lingnan for exile.

When Yan You and the others saw that there was no female dependents in the crowd, their hearts suddenly understood that they were all dead, and they immediately wailed, You Chongwen burst into tears, and shouted in his mouth: "Good death!" Well dead! Hahahaha! ”

Yan Pu was dressed in prison clothes, unkempt, and still could not hide his morale, looked at the children and grandchildren who were watching the execution, and shouted: "Live well!" Shen Mengxi saw Yan Jikang, who was also unkempt in the crowd, his face was ashen, he bit his lip, and stared at his father deadly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the prison officer threw down the execution stick, and the executioner pulled out the trick behind several people, and the knife fell in his hand, and the blood spurted out of the sky, and several good heads fell to the ground in an instant.

The group of people standing at the front immediately cried bitterly and kowtowed in unison.

In less than a moment, they were dragged and taken away, they had no right to collect the body, and they didn't even have the right to cry for a while, their future may be worse than death.

Shen Mengxi saw the beheading for the first time, and was startled by the blood splattered and the head that suddenly rolled down, she couldn't bear to look at Yan Jikang's sad eyes and trembling body. She even thought that it would be better for a teenager to go through this, than to let him drown if she didn't save him in the first place.

Shen Mengxi sighed and entered the palace city.

"Ah Niang, Yan Pu's case has been concluded, and I want to implore Ah Niang to avoid the exile of Yan Twelve."

Emperor Wu had an expression of "I knew it was like this", and looked at her with hatred, "What's so good about that kid?" A-Niang has a newly sent boy here, surnamed Han, very handsome, and stylish, so let's send it to Yue'er. ”

"That's A-Niang's person, and the son will be strict twelve! A-Niang~~~" The last one shouted a thousand times.

"What's so good about the son of a sinner?" Emperor Wu frowned.

"Then what's so good about Shangguan Wan'er?"

"Hey! You kid! Emperor Wu was so angry that he patted Shen Mengxi's arm.

"A-Niang~~~"

Half an hour later, a team of men and horses galloped out of Tianjie, passed through the Dingding Gate, caught up with the exiled prisoners who were dressed in strings and staggered forward, showed their instructions, and simply negotiated with the escorted officers and soldiers, and took away the ignorant Yan Jikang.

His two brothers were startled and struggled and shouted, "Don't kill Twelve, kill me!" The escorted officers and soldiers whipped him several times, fell to the ground, and wept bitterly.

When Yan Twelve was uncertain, he was stuffed into a carriage and sent directly to Shangshanfang.

After changing the bath water three times, I finally washed it off. He was placed in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, where he was served by two maidservants.

Having just experienced the pain of losing a loved one, his brother did not know whether he was alive or dead during exile, and now he has entered the princess's mansion, his fate is undecided, and it is inevitable that he will be restless and unable to sleep and eat. Fortunately, there was a pen and paper in the study, and he wrote many angry poems, and he stroked the piano and played the flute every day to vent his emotions.

Shen Mengxi heard the sound of the piano with anger, hatred, sorrow, and despair, and he also felt pity for this eighteen-year-old boy in his heart.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Yan Twelve was informed by the maidservant, immediately stopped playing the piano, and got up and saluted with some trepidation.

"Yan Shishilang, without your consent, this palace will bring you back to the mansion in the name of the face, don't be surprised."

Yan Jikang saluted again, "Twelve naturally knows the princess's good intentions, how can she be so ignorant." ”

"You can live in peace, the Yan family's books have been confiscated by the imperial court, and I will order someone to find it for you again, study hard, and there will always be a time to see the light of day again in the future." Shen Mengxi encouraged him to revive the family business.

"Heh, what's so good about being an official? Once a catastrophe falls from the sky, it is not a broken family, it is better to be a farmer! Yan Jikang said with some anger.

"Tian Jiaweng? Hehe, just one county order can ruin his family. Shen Mengxi muttered.

Yan Jikang was stunned when he heard this, and then said coldly: "This world is really boring. "It seems that life and death will sprout.

"Do you want to die?" Shen Mengxi said: "To tell you the truth, I guess that Laijunchen will not let your family go easily, and he will definitely attack your brother on the way to exile, so I begged Your Majesty to take you back to the mansion!" Yan Jikang! This palace saved you twice, and both times you were famous, are you ready to repay me like this? ”

Yan Jikang's expression changed, his mind was in turmoil, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and cried bitterly, "Why did it become like this overnight?" ”

"I'm wondering why someone would suddenly want to assassinate me."

Yan Jikang raised his head and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, please believe that Twelve, it is definitely not an uncle, nor is it the Yan family!" ”

"Isn't it that the Yan family became angry because of the rumors in front of them, and then had the heart to commit a crime?" Shen Mengxi stepped forward.

"No, no, no! No! Yan Jikang waved his hand again and again and sat on the ground, "Twelve, twelve, a few days ago, I wish I had really become the face of His Highness......

Shen Mengxi couldn't cry or laugh, he was really an innocent teenager.

"Your father doesn't have any grievances?" The face continued to press.

"Although my father was a little annoyed, my father was grateful to the princess for saving her life more, how could he be that ungrateful!"

Shen Mengxi also knows something about Yan Pu, that person is really a rare pure and kind person among officials, and his official reputation is very good on weekdays, but it is a pity that he offended Lai Junchen and ended up in a different place.

Shen Mengxi extinguished Yan Jikang's heart, "Get up, now, your life is mine, you have to do two things for me in order to be free." ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Jikang wiped away his tears, stood up and asked.

"I haven't thought about it now, I'll look for you when I need you!"

"Then if it drags on for twenty years......" Yan Jikang was a little anxious.

"Nope! You can't do martial arts, why should I raise you for 20 years, hurry up and study and practice martial arts! Don't use you when it's time to use you, it's nothing. ”

Shen Mengxi's deliberately contemptuous tone made the young man's face redden.

She raised her palms and motioned for him to do the same.

Struck towards the young man's palm, making a crisp sound, "A gentleman's word!" ”

"Whip it up." Yan Jikang said sullenly.

"The princess's mansion does not raise idlers, I heard that you are good at carving, go back and carve a version of the Heart Sutra for me." After speaking, he added, "By the way, this engraving is your food money, not those two things!" ”

Yan Jikang was dumbfounded.
