He was thin and shaggy, and his skin was sallow, but in the dim candlelight, his eyes were burning.

A glint of hope.

Shen Yunqi met his eyes, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After a long while, he said: "It's useless for you to expect me, I came in because I killed someone, I'm afraid I don't expect to be able to get out in this life, forget the two thousand taels of silver you owe me, and the dead won't spend anything." “

After speaking, he ignored Qin Zhan, turned around and shrank into the corner, found a comfortable position to lie down, and then stopped moving.

Qin Zhan instantly petrified the locality.

It turns out that Shen Yunqi also killed someone? How can this kid do this!

Filled with righteous indignation for a while, Qin Zhan stood up violently and was about to scold Shen Yunqi, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had also killed people to come in, and in an instant, his arrogance wilted.

Glancing in the direction of Shen Yunqi again, Qin Zhan sighed deeply, shook his head and prepared to find a corner to lie down, in this life, he had no hope, he could only wait for death without hope.

However, the moment he turned his head, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Qin Zhan raised his head in disbelief, and saw an elusive man in black standing quietly at the door of the cell not far in front of him, and the long sword in the hand of the man in black was on his neck.

"Good man Rao ......" Before he could say anything, the tip of the sword was handed forward, and it instantly stabbed into his throat.

Qin Zhan's eyes widened like copper bells, but he couldn't speak anymore.

The next moment, he fell straight down.

Shen Yunqi didn't fall asleep, in fact, when the man in black pointed the tip of his sword against Qin Zhan, he had already looked over, and when Qin Zhan was killed, he quickly raised his hand and threw the dead grass, stones, and dried mouse corpses under the straw mat that he was holding in his hand towards the man in black.

He used to be a gentleman, and his body was weak and weak, but in the past two years of wandering at sea, he relied on selling his strength to make money to support himself, so this strength has been greater than ordinary people.

The man in black sneered, and swung the long sword in his hand like a spiritual snake, knocking those things to the ground in an instant, and then slammed open the prison door and stabbed towards Shen Yunqi.

Shen Yunqi dodged left and right, and kept shouting loudly: "Help! Help me! ”

However, the officials and the prisoners in the next cell were as if they were dead, and they did not move.

Shen Yunqi was embarrassed to dodge, and was almost stabbed in the chest by the man in black several times, the man in black was ruthless, and the knife was deadly, it seemed that he did come to kill him.

Who would do that?

Shen Yunqi was a little flustered in his heart.

He knew that after Lu Yiming died inexplicably, his end would not be better, but he never thought that he would die in prison.

Or assassinated.

After death, there is no certain crime that will be charged.

That's a!

Shen Yunqi's eyes shone with a touch of unwillingness, and he tried his best to dodge.

The man in black seemed to know that he couldn't escape, so he slowed down the pursuit, chasing him like a cat and mouse, and for a moment the shouts in the cell flew in tandem with the sound of fighting.

A quarter of an hour later, the man in black finally got impatient, changed his previous slowed offensive, and made an extremely powerful move, stabbing Shen Yunqi in the chest with a sword.

Shen Yunqi was already tired and panting, his steps were floating, his legs were heavy, and he couldn't run anymore.

Seeing that the sharp, shining cold tip of the sword was about to pierce into his chest, but at this moment, a stone flew in the oblique thorn with a strong wind, snapping the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand into two.

With a thud, the tip of the sword fell to the ground.

The man in black was startled, and suddenly raised his head with only half of the sword left, and saw a person standing with his hands on his chest on the dim prison corridor, as if he was not standing in the prison, not at the scene of the murder, but leisurely reading and enjoying himself in his bedroom.

"Who are you!" The man in black shouted in a rough voice, and then violently lifted the remaining half of the long sword, and reluctantly went to kill Shen Yunqi!

The purpose of his coming today is to kill people, and he can't give up halfway!

However, the long sword had just stabbed out, and a flying knife spun and flew in, stabbing into the palm of the man in black.

"Ahh The terrible screams of the man in black rang out from the cell, and he violently discarded the long sword in his hand, knelt on his knees, and covered his palms with pain on his face, screaming continuously.

"Hurry up and heal your wounds, or your hand will be completely useless." Beiyang opened his mouth lazily.

The man in black glared at him angrily, and unwillingly turned his head to look at Shen Yunqi, who had shrunk into the corner, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

But he also understood that it would be too late if he didn't leave, and he obviously couldn't beat the person in front of him.

The man in black snorted, glared at Shen Yunqi unwillingly, turned around and flew away.

Only Shen Yunqi and Beiyang were left in the cell.

"He's gone?" Shen Yunqi stood up from the corner of the wall, glanced in the direction where the man in black had left, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince sent you, right?" Thank you for saving my life. ”

"No thanks, it's all the princess's credit." Beiyang said indifferently when she heard the words: "She expected that someone would secretly attack you, so she sent me to protect you, but she didn't expect it." “

"It's the big sister......

Shen Yunqi thought of Shen Nianzhen, the expression on his face suddenly softened, he looked at Beiyang and said gratefully: "You go back and tell her, I have written down this kindness." ”

"The princess wants to see you." Beiyang said slowly.

Shen Yunqi was stunned when he heard this, and said dumbfounded: "I'm a death row prisoner, what does she do when she sees me?" Not so convenient, right? ”

"The palace arranges, naturally it will be unaware, and no one will find out." Beiyang Road.

"Okay then." Shen Yunqi nodded when he heard this, and said, "I don't approve of her taking risks, but she really wants to see her, so let's come." When? “

"Wait for specific arrangements." Beiyang said: "Just in these two days." ”

Shen Yunqi nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I'll wait for her to come." ”

"You...... Did he kill Lu Yiming? Beiyang asked, slightly curious in his eyes.

"I wanted to kill him." Shen Yunqi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then slowly spoke: "And I'm ready to kill him, but Lu Yiming's guy is really too bad, unkind, I was going to beat him up before killing him, but I just slapped him, and he died inexplicably......"

"If he's like this, he can be regarded as dead at my hands." Shen Yunqi's expression was indescribably relaxed.

It can be seen that he really wants to kill Lu Yiming, and he really hates him too much.

Beiyang understood.

He nodded and said, "You have a good rest, no one will come again in the second half of the night, our people have been guarding in the dark, absolutely no one can get close here, you have a good rest." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Shen Yunqi looked at the back of him leaving, turned his head to look at the killed Qin Zhan, and silently felt sorry for him.

It's a shame that I just died.

Life is impermanent!

……

Outside the prison, the man in black walked through the dark long street with his injured palm, looked around vigilantly, and then quickly got into a remote alley and ran quickly.

However, what he didn't notice was that a few hundred feet away behind him, a dark shadow silently followed his steps.

Finally, the wounded man in black flew into a mansion outside the imperial city.

Beiyang stopped and looked at the plaque on the front of the high gate: Hussar Grand Commander's Mansion.

He didn't stop any longer, and turned to leave.

In the second prince's house.

When Rong Chen heard the news brought back by Beiyang, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Even Jiang Ling, the only son of the hussar commander, was involved?" It seems that this son really likes Zhaohua! ”

"That man did enter the Hussar Commander's Palace." Hearing this, Beiyang replied slowly: "When the subordinates left, the people who had already notified the government government to lead the troops to surround the entire Hussar Commander's Mansion, not a single fly could fly out, and the person who assassinated Shen Yunqi would be searched early tomorrow morning, and at that time, the truth of this whole matter would be revealed." ”

"In this way, it can be regarded as solving the mystery of this matter." Rong Chen nodded when he heard this, and his expression was indescribably relaxed.

Shen Nianzhen, who was sitting on the side and listening quietly, was also relieved.

"Great! With the assassin and the autopsy poison, at least it can be proved that this matter has nothing to do with my second brother, when will he be acquitted? ”

"It could be a few more days." Rong Chen looked at her and smiled gently, reached out and touched her sideburns, and said, "You don't want to go to sleep, you have to stay here and wait for the result, now you are satisfied, go, go back to rest." ”

Shen Nianzhen smiled shyly and nodded.

Beiyang retreated with a very good look.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the siege of the Hussar Commander's Mansion immediately shocked the entire Shangjing.

However, the more shocking thing is still to come, the people of the government personally led the troops into the house to search, and then searched out a man with a wounded palm, the government official said that someone assassinated in the prison last night, trying to kill Shen Yunqi, this is the assassin.

The Hussar Commander's Mansion actually sent assassins to assassinate prisoners in the prison?

It seems that Shen Yunqi's case is indeed strange!

Everyone was in an uproar.

What's even more weird is still to come, the government officials checked out that Lu Yiming had been poisoned before he died, he was not beaten to death, he was poisoned.

These two incidents prove that Shen Yunqi is not the murderer of Lu Yiming.

Someone set this trap behind his back, trying to frame him.

And who is framing him? It must be the Hussar Commander's Palace.

Then someone asked, the Hussar Commander's Mansion has no grievances with the Shen family, why did he poison Shen Yunqi? What's in it for them?

Then someone said that the young master of the Hussar Commander's Mansion would marry Princess Zhaohua soon.

Princess Zhaohua, everyone understands it.

Princess Zhaohua is infatuated with Shen Yunlan, the eldest young master of the Shen family, but she can't love him, she is jealous for him, and she has done many unreasonable things, which is not the first time.

Now that this matter actually involves her, it seems that Shen Yunqi has indeed been wronged.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Empress Chen looked at Princess Zhaohua kneeling in front of her, and only felt full of anger, but also felt very powerless.

She didn't even bother to move.

"I thought you had been honest recently, but I didn't expect you to do so many things behind your back! You still can't forget Shen Yunlan! He's about to marry that Zhu Xiuyan! When the hell will you wake up! ”

Princess Zhaohua knelt on the ground and was silent.

I was also very annoyed in my heart, Jiang Ling, that idiot, really didn't get things done! Hum! A person who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, why should he marry her!

"My daughter has always been sober." Princess Zhaohua said.

"Are you sober? Are you sober that you will involve the Hussar Commander's Mansion? Do you know that their whole family has been implicated, and now they are being pointed at! Empress Chen hated iron and said: "The good husband family that the queen mother worked so hard to select for you, you are so unappreciative?" “

"The Jiang family is not a good family, right?" Princess Zhaohua said disapprerovantly when she heard this: "It's a big deal to withdraw from the marriage and choose a new horse." “

As soon as the words fell, Queen Chen couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped her hard.

"Smack!"

The sound was crisp and loud, and Zhaohua's head was tilted to the side, and half of his face became red and swollen in an instant.

Empress Chen looked at her angrily and said word by word: "Don't you think!" You can only marry Jiang Ling in this life! Even if he dies, you have to widow him! ”

"Queen Mother!" Princess Zhaohua never expected that her mother would be so ruthless, and looked at her in disbelief.

"You can leave the palace for me now, go to the Jiang family, and apologize to them." Empress Chen looked at her and said word by word: "Then change your mind and stay in the palace to prepare for marriage, this marriage is not up to you!" ”

She never wanted to treat her daughter with such a tough attitude, but what Princess Zhaohua did still made Queen Chen very cold.

Recently, the crown prince has also made a lot of noise, and if she is forced to agree to make Su Muwan the crown princess, Queen Chen will have a headache, and Zhaohua will still make waves!

"I'm not going!" Princess Zhaohua stiffened her neck, stared at Queen Chen with red eyes, and said word by word: "Queen Mother!" Do you want your daughter to die? Good! Then I'll die for you now! ”

After saying that, he suddenly stood up from the ground, flew to the pillar on the side, and then lowered his head and hit it.

Her movements were so fast that it was too late for Empress Chen to stop her.

Hearing a bang, Princess Zhaohua's forehead hit the pillar, and then she fell softly.

A small cut was made in his forehead, and a gush of blood flowed out.

"Zhaohua!" Empress Chen's eyes were split, she stumbled over, squatted down tremblingly, and wanted to reach out to touch her daughter, but she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and suddenly turned her head and shouted at the palace people who were already stunned: "Are you all stupid!" Hurry up and ask for a doctor! Go get a doctor! ”

"Oh, slave and maid are going!"

The palace people nodded again and again as if they had just woken up from a big dream, and then rushed out.

Empress Chen squatted down in front of her daughter, trembling her hands to touch her snort, but she didn't feel anything.

He's dead? How could it be!

Empress Chen couldn't stand this blow, and her eyes went dark in an instant, and the whole person fainted.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! There was the panicked shouts of the palace people in her ears, and Empress Chen completely fainted. 、

There was a sudden chaos in the main hall.

Half an hour later, when Empress Chen finally came to her senses, she saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at a book of recitals, and the room was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Chen opened her mouth in a hoarse voice, and instantly burst into tears.

As soon as the emperor saw her heartbroken appearance, he knew what she was thinking, and quickly replied: "You don't have to worry, Zhaohua is not dead, she is just injured and fainted, the imperial doctor has bandaged her now, and the person is fine." ”

"Really...... Really? Empress Chen couldn't believe it.

"It's true, will I still lie to you?" The Emperor said with a smile.

When Empress Chen heard this, she was relieved. Zhaohua didn't die, that's great.

Otherwise, how will she live in the future! That's her pampered daughter!

"You, if you want to admonish Zhaohua, you should use a gentle way, not persecute her." The emperor sighed, looked at her and said slowly: "Of course, Zhaohua is indeed too much, Jiang Ling has already recruited, she made a big fuss about the second wedding, and tried to frame Shen Yunqi to deal with the Shen family, this is indeed too much, I have just taught her a lesson, and Zhaohua has also admitted her mistake." ”

She ...... Will you admit mistakes? “

Empress Chen couldn't believe it.

What kind of character is the daughter she raised, she still understands it herself, Zhaohua, that is a master who does not install the south wall and does not look back, and eight horses can't pull it back.

"She can't admit her mistakes." The emperor said faintly: "Jiang Ling has confessed, and the government has also found out the ins and outs, then Shen Yunqi was indeed wronged, and he has been acquitted in court today, as for Zhaohua, just recuperate, and when he recovers, he will marry Jiang Ling immediately!" “

So, the emperor did not punish Zhaohua?

Empress Chen was overjoyed when she heard this.

However, the next moment, the emperor continued to speak: "I see that Shen Yunqi has indeed faded away from the bad habits of a gentleman, and the whole person is simply reborn, so I plan to let him stay in the military department, start with a small matter, and start to be on duty tomorrow." “

The queen's heart suddenly cooled.

It was good not to punish Zhaohua, but it gave Shen Yunqi such a great grace.

A gentleman who had no merit and was expelled from the Shen family, suddenly became a seventh-rank official of the Ministry of War? The emperor's reward is not small!

This is simply slapping her in the face!
