Chapter 228: Sit-Down
If Zhen Luo hadn't been reincarnated, maybe Zhen Luo's ghost would have been able to be summoned back.
Seeing Xie Juan in a daze, Shen An seemed to guess what Xie Juan was thinking.
"Don't think about those who don't have it, this is a well-dressed mound, Concubine Zhen...... I'm afraid she doesn't want to come back, let alone see this king. โ
After speaking, he had already put down the shovel, took a deep breath, and walked down the mountain.
Xie Juan was confused, looking at Fengjue and the company camp, the two of them also shook their heads, bowed to the wordless monument, and hurriedly followed.
Shen An turned in the direction of the mountain.
"Go and talk to Lairan, but this king estimates that it will take a while to go to its Liangang Temple."
Choice answered.
Back at the Regent's Mansion, Shen An went to take a bath, had breakfast with Xie Juan, and Wei Jing had already returned.
Xie Juan raised his head to look at Shen An from time to time, trying to see that something was wrong from his expression.
However, Shen An didn't react from beginning to end, as if what happened yesterday was just a small thing.
However, Xie Juan still felt as if something had changed.
And, what's the matter?
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have already made it clear that it was Guo Qi who took Qing Yu away at that time, they have always wanted to use Qing Yu to get close to the princess, but they have never had the opportunity to get close to the princess, this Guo Qi is also a person who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and it didn't take long for Guo Yan to put this matter down."
When Wei Jing talked about this, he couldn't help but sigh, he had always felt that he could do anything to go to Xiyuan, but now that he thinks about it, if it weren't for that time, he had been closely following Xie Juan, and Xie Juan's side would have sneaked into others.
Whether it was Xie Juan or Shen An, these people had the idea to find the crack in the middle, so Shen An's arrangement could not be said to be unreasonable.
Shen An nodded.
"Then do you still want to go back to the princess?"
Wei Jing looked at Xie Xuan: "Please also ask the prince to give his subordinates another chance!" Willing! โ
Shen An: "What about Guo Qiren?" โ
Wei Jing replied: "Back to the prince, Guo Qi has been locked up in the dungeon by his subordinates. โ
Shen An picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his mouth: "Go and meet him." โ
Xie Juan thought back to the people in the dungeon, and the chopsticks in his hand also stopped.
She didn't know much about these deceitful things in the court, but she understood it.
"He's the one who brought Qing Yu back?"
Shen An's eyes were as heavy as turquoise, with a hint of ruthlessness in them.
"I'm afraid it doesn't stop there.
Xie Juan remembered Shen An's madness last night, and a certain string in his heart trembled.
"If this website is not wrong, after they wanted to use Qingyu to get close to you and failed, they originally wanted to sacrifice him as some kind of tool, but they didn't expect this Guo Qi to be unreliable and let Qingyu run, so when he was in Haozhou, Shen Changxing would not hesitate to treat the troupe as his ......"
Shen An paused and continued: "Private property. This Guo Qi has been wandering the streets all the year round, and it is likely that the disappearance of those people has something to do with him. โ
Xie Juan had already stood up, and his attitude was very clear.
She's going too.
"I can't stand it later, and I will come out by myself."
Shen An had already stood up and walked out of the door.
When he passed by Qing Yu, he said to Feng Jue behind him: "Take him with you." โ
"Whoa."
Feng Jue took off the cage and followed behind Xie Juan and Shen An.
It was not the first time Xie Juan had come to the dungeon, but it was the first time that Shen An had come together.
The dungeon was gloomy, with torture instruments hanging on the walls and tables with old blood on them.
"Bring it out!"
Shen An said in a deep voice.
Xie Wan squinted his eyes and listened to the sound of guards scolding and chains in the distance.
"Let's go!"
A man in his twenties walked up to several people, he was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, he was wearing a prison uniform, and when he looked up and saw Shen An, he trembled. The guards hung the man on the torture rack.
The man's eyes were tightly closed, as if in front of him was some kind of flood beast, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"Guo Qi, where did the people you kidnapped go?"
Feng Jue asked in a deep voice.
Guo Qi trembled, and his voice was full of fear.
"The villain doesn't know what the adults mean, the villain usually just gambles, and the villain doesn't dare to do this kind of thing."
Feng Jue lowered his head and read a string of names in a deep voice.
"Don't you know any of these people?"
In the firelight, Guo Qi's face was as white as a piece of paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
"Villain...... The villain doesn't know. โ
Feng Jue snorted: "You should know the name Qingyu, right?" โ
In the darkness, Qing Yu slowly walked out.
He wore a fat robe, which was hidden from top to bottom, with only one head exposed, which was flickering in the firelight.
Guo Qi cautiously opened his eyes, and then he really saw Qing Yu.
"You should know this person, right?"
Guo Qi quickly closed his eyes again, the five views on his face wrinkled together, and said angrily: "Do you know who I am!" Dare to catch me! Guo Yan, the current head of the General Political Department, is my uncle! I don't know any of them, you'd better let me go now, if my uncle knows, if you arrest me, you won't end well! โ
Feng's voice was as steady as ever: "Then you should know about the horse wizards, right?" โ
Guo Qi trembled all over, as if someone had choked his neck.
"Lot L-rfrยป
Bring it with you.
Feng Jue continued.
The next moment. A man with a stiff figure was brought up.
The man simply knelt down neatly.
"Ask the big man to go around the little one's life, the little one will explain everything he knows, all this is Guo Qi ordered me, he asked me to bring people from all over the place, after raising them in me for a while, they have the opportunity to take people away, the villain really doesn't know where they take people."
Ma Qicai kowtowed like pounded garlic.
Guo Qi struggled, the chains on his hands and feet clanged, and he scolded: "Ma Qicai, are you crazy? How dare you betray your lordship! If you don't want to live, don't you even want the lives of your wife and children? โ
Ma Qicai glanced back at Guo Qi: "My life is going to be gone, why do you still want so many thousands?" โ
Feng Jue snorted coldly: "After entering the Regent Palace, you still want to go out?" โ
The chains clanged again.
Guo Qi said in disbelief: "Where do you say this is?" โ
Shen An slowly got up from his chair and took a few steps forward, his well-defined face looming in the firelight.
"It's rare to meet a hard-mouthed one, you can take it easy, don't kill people."
As soon as Shen An's words fell, a guard had already stepped forward, holding a torture instrument in his hand.
After a while, screams resounded throughout the dungeon, and the smell of blood slowly spread.
"I confessed everything I knew, I just did things for my uncle, what he wanted these people to do, I really don't know."
Feng Jue turned his head to look at Shen An, who always sat upright.
"Go on!"
He coldly spat out two words.
When Guo Qi looked at Shen An again, the whole person was not very good.
The person next to him was about to make a move, when he heard Shen An ask, "Guo Yan asked Qing Yu to approach the princess, what do you want to do?" โ
Guo Qi saw Xie Xuan, who had been standing next to Shen An, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are many people in the palace who covet the beauty of the princess, and there are also people who pay a high price and want to get the princess. โ
The people present were sitting on pins and needles, and Shen An's fingers suddenly tightened.
Guo Qi was already surrounded by fear, but as long as he still had a shred of sanity, he would never say such a thing.
"Tell me, who are they?"
Shen An was like a bloodthirsty rakshasa, and his whole person had a cold aura.
And the green feathers behind them also trembled.
"Luo Shilang of Shangshutai, as well as General Wei of the Ministry of War, and ...... There is also the prince of Liao, Yeluhuan Shu, among them, Yeluhuan Shu's money is the highest, and he paid 5,000 gold. โ
Shen An said coldly: "This king will pay 10,000 gold to buy Yelu Huanshu's dog's life!" โ
Several people's hearts sank, and they always felt that such a Shen An was very unfamiliar.
After asking no further questions to no avail, Shen An stood up, played with a dagger in his hand, and took a few steps closer to Guo Qi.
Guo Qi felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his eyes widened in fright when he saw the cold light refracted in the darkness.
"I've told everything I know, Shen An, what else are you going to do?"
The dagger in Shen An's hand stabbed into Guo Qi's chest with a "poof".
Guo Qi gasped heavily, and a bellows-like sound came out of his throat.
He looked at Shen An's expressionless face in front of him, and shouted with his last strength: "Shen An! You don't have to die well! โ
The next moment, the dagger in Shen An's hand had been unceremoniously inserted into his throat, and Guo Qi's last shout disappeared into the dungeon.
Shen An took the handkerchief next to him, wiped the blood on his hand as he walked outside, threw it lightly, and threw the handkerchief on the ground.
Feng Jue looked at Guo Qi, who was tortured to an inhuman shape in front of him, and also felt a little frightened.
In the past, although Shen An was ruthless, at least he would not torture and kill the prisoners, and he could only blame these people for stepping on Shen An's bottom line.
Xie Juan also followed, and she also understood what had just happened, except for the Yelu Huan Shu that made her feel a little surprised, the others didn't mean much to her.
Shen An returned to the courtyard, and the people below had already prepared the water, and this person who had just killed people without blinking an eye was now washing the blood on his hands over and over again.
His hands were already white, but Shen An continued to wash.
Xie Juan sat next to him and poked him with his finger.
"Hey, what the hell is going on with you? When I came back, it was weird. โ
Shen An wiped the water on his hands casually, threw the towel into the basin, ignored Xie Xuan, and shouted at the door: "What about Feng Jue? โ
Feng Jue came in from outside: "What does the prince command?" โ
"Offer a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for the head of Yeluhuan's bundle."
Feng Jue raised his head: "The Liao State has been repairing with the Jin State for more than ten years, does the prince really want to do this?" What's more, my subordinates heard that this Yelu Huanshu is a person who is very afraid of death, and it is difficult to get out of the palace on weekdays, even if he sleeps, there are dozens of masters secretly guarding him, and if the prince wants to kill him, I am afraid it will be difficult. โ
What's more, we don't have the money yet.
Of course, this sentence was never spoken.
Shen An drank two sips of herbal tea and finally calmed down, but there was still a faint smell of blood on his hands, which made him very uncomfortable.
"This king just wants him to eat and sleep badly, and it's best not to dare to leave the palace even a step."
"No! I disagree! โ
Xie Juan was the first to say.
Shen An looked at Xie Xuan and frowned: "Does it matter to this king whether your comrades agree or not?" โ
"Why doesn't it matter? The person who Yeluhuan wants is me, and this matter is closely related to me, how can you get past my opinion? โ
Xie Juan looked straight at Shen An: "Besides, I also want to see who this Yeluhuan Shu is and what he looks like, if you cross me, maybe one day I will run away." โ
Shen An put down the teacup in his hand, already very unhappy.
"Then what do you disagree with?"
Xie Juan looked at Shen An, opened his hand in front of Shen An and said, "I'm only 5,000 gold, this Yeluhuan bundles 10,000 gold, isn't he twice as expensive as me?" Isn't that more precious than I am? โ
Feng Jue thought that the princess was here to save the scene, but he didn't expect Xie Juan to be entangled in the problem that she was cheaper than Yelu Huanshu.
Shen An: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" โ
Xie Juan hesitated for a moment and said, "What about two thousand five hundred taels?" Just half of me? โ
Shen An nodded and asked Feng Jue to do it.
