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 was the eyeliner, and wanted to know how many people could be trusted.

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. She knew that those bombings were against everyone, and that this assassination was 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, some were loyal, and some were ruthless, and now, she had to go through them through a sieve herself, not to eliminate them, but to prevent them.

She took out "The Art of War" to read and take notes, which was of little use, just to make her heart feel more at ease.

While laughing at her cowardice, she familiarized herself with all the weapons in the fifth compartment of the Wuling space in the dead of night, until she could get 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.

When Commander Lu returned to Luoyang, he was punished by Emperor Wu, slapped 20 boards, and returned home to recuperate. Shen Mengxi asked Yin'er to visit her on her behalf, sent gifts 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 guards, his eyes were red, and he also 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 the sentence in the "Luo Weaving Sutra": "People are afraid, and they are afraid of persecution." "Everyone has something to fear, and he persecutes him with what he fears, and there is nothing that he does not accept.

Come to Junchen's Yan family and the life of the You family to threaten, either be subjected to a round of torture and then confess, and then die with the whole clan, or confess early, and then die yourself.

The Yan brothers and You Chongwen naturally chose to die by themselves and confessed their guilt.

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

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, 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 he did not die, it was a man who was exiled for thousands of miles, and a woman was classified as a teacher of the Workshop 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, just 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, and 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 on the way to exile.

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

The relatives of the Yan family were escorted 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, they suddenly understood in their hearts that they were all dead, and they wailed, You Chongwen burst into tears and shouted: "Good death!" Well dead! Haha, ma'am, and wait for the husband! ”

Na Yan Pu was dressed in prison clothes, unkempt, and still could not hide his morale, looked at the relatives 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.

The hour had come, the supervisor threw down the sign, and the executioner pulled out the sign behind several people, and the knife fell in his hand, and a cavity of blood spurted out, 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 corpses, and the place where they were going might be better 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?" There is a young man surnamed Han who is very handsome and romantic, so give it to Yue'er. ”

"That's A-Niang's person, I'm going to be strict twelve! A-Niang~~~" The last one shouted a thousand times.

"What's so good about the son of a sinner?"

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

"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 Dingdingmen, caught up with the exiled prisoners, showed their instructions, negotiated with the escorted officers and soldiers, and took away the ignorant Yan Jikang. His two brothers were so worried that they cried out, "Don't kill him, kill me!" ”
