Ada, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to the reminder of his master and knew how to respond.

He bowed respectfully.

"The emperor changed shifts last night, went out to drink, and met a person from the rivers and lakes, and that person was indiscriminate, so he killed us, and the slave fought to death to escape." He paused for a moment and said, "The minions fought with him, and found out that the person was a secret sect. ”

"Can you see what the man looks like?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you can see it clearly."

The emperor said: "Let people draw the portrait." ”

Shen Mingze said: "Your Majesty, it was my guards who fought with him, and the minister brought him when he entered the palace today. ”

"Pass him up to the temple."

Shen Mingze called the guard in, and then asked Ada, "Can you see clearly, it was he who fought with you last night?" ”

Ada naturally recognized that the two were fighting, and there was still some light on the street, so he naturally recognized this person.

"He was the one who killed our brother."

Tong Jiawei said: "The emperor has bad intentions, and he is already guilty of hanging out late at night. And he is Lord Shen's bodyguard, which shows that Lord Shen and the secret sect have some unavoidable pity. ”

Does this mean that he colluded with thieves?

King Jin was slightly displeased when he heard Tong Jiawei bite like this.

Shen Mingze went out of his mansion last night, and soon met Hope, he looked at it slightly, and froze in front of the prince.

Will it be the crown prince?

Shen Mingze smiled slightly, not making trouble or being angry, as if waiting for this sentence, he responded respectfully:

"Emperor Qiqi, his name is Qin Yi, I usually call him Ah Yi, but he was discovered by the minister in the land of Huainan, not the murderous demon of the secret sect he said."

Tong Jiawei snorted lightly and said, "Hmph, Lord Shen, whether it is a murderer or not, I will find out after investigation." And you connived at your subordinates to kill the Praetorian Guard, which is a capital offense. ”

Since Shen Mingze dared to mention it, he was already ready to go wrong.

He said:

"As far as I know, the murderer is infallible, and now he's forty or fifty, right? It is rumored that he was killed by the enemy, and he has not been seen for several years. ”

Those who have fought with him in the court, such as Wei Zheng, he said: "What Lord Shen said is extremely true, when you are active in the rivers and lakes, you hairy children have not been born yet." Lord Tong, I'm afraid that your subordinates don't have something to hide from you, right? ”

Tong Jiawei was depressed in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, this person's martial arts path is extremely similar to Wan Wuwu, even if he is not, he can't have anything to do with that person." Ask the emperor to see clearly. ”

At this time, Xie Zihuai, who came out of Huainan, is now in the compilation of the Hanlin Academy.

He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Yi is the master of my Huainan land, he has a famous book in hand, he has never been out of Huainan since he grew up so much, and the minister can testify, it has absolutely nothing to do with the murderous demon that Lord Tong said." On that day, Lord Shen saved him who was already dying, so he followed Lord Shen.

These people can see it clearly.

Xie Zihuai looked at Lord Tong's resentful gaze, and hurriedly said, "I think it's all a misunderstanding. ”

Shen Mingze snorted lightly, a misunderstanding made people with a heart turn their minds.

But Shen Mingze didn't care, what he cared about was the emperor's opinion.

At this moment, the emperor had already decided in his heart that it was Tong Jiawei who wanted to kill Shen Mingze.

Tong Jiawei saw that things were not good, so he could only admit his guilt and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's information is wrong, the minister is derelict in his duties, please atone for the emperor's sins." ”

However, Shen Mingze did not relent:

"I just don't know if Lord Tong sent someone to assassinate me first, and only then did he know that he was foolproof, or was he the first to suspect his identity?"

Tong Jiawei grabbed the white and said: "Of course, I suspect his identity first..."

Shen Mingze said sarcastically: "Lord Tong is responsible for the safety of the palace, and he still has the heart to investigate the murderer?" Sure enough, it's dutiful. ”

"You..."

In a word, let the emperor identify something.

Subsequently, the emperor decreed that Lord Tong was demoted, fined for three years, and the head of the second division of the Duke of Zhongguo was in charge of the forbidden army and guarded the safety of the palace.

So everyone is happy.

When Zhong Yong heard this, there was no wave in his heart, and he accepted his life safely.

However, King Huan was angry with smoke rising above his head.

After going down, the prince's heart was shocked.

He synchronized with King Jin, walked slowly, and said, "Third brother, this Shen Mingze is really interesting. And it's very bold, preemptive, and it catches people off guard. ”

King Jin bowed his head, looked at Shen Mingze's style today, and thought thoughtfully.

That Tong Jiawei is a person he has been unable to grasp, but Shen Mingze knew in a trance that it was difficult to open early this morning, and it was impossible for people not to admire.

A few simple words, a few people, punished Tong Jiawei.

"Third brother?"

King Jin returned to his amber eyes, and said with a smile: "Prince, this Shen Mingze is bold, but he also has bold capital, his future father-in-law is Zhong Guogong, and the emperor values his talent, so what else does he dare not do." ”

The prince was also very satisfied.

"This Zhong Guogong doesn't eat hard and soft, but he is not two-faced, he is his father's person, and now that he has taken over the forbidden army, the palace has been comfortable for a few days."

"Yes, what the prince said is very true."

Thinking of what Shen Mingze said last night, King Jin felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, especially in the face of the crown prince.

The prince has kind eyebrows, maybe he has been in a high position for a long time, and he looks noble between his eyebrows, so he naturally doesn't need a dress.

Those eyes were deep and waveless, as if they had been in a high position for a long time, and they became more and more silent.

"When did the third brother become so polite?"

King Jin smiled bitterly: "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the minister has crossed the distance before." The prince loves his younger brothers, and he can't hold back the prince as a younger brother, and he will definitely be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, so as not to let people seize the handle, which is not conducive to the prince. ”

The crown prince frowned slightly, looking at King Jin's gaze with more scrutiny.

"That's it, you're my brother, do whatever you want."

Shen Mingze went down to the court and faced Zhong Guogong, Zhong Guogong looked at him and snorted lightly.

"Offended Tong Jiawei, do you think you will be able to stand up in the court in the future?"

Shen Mingze said: "It's just a Tong Jiawei, besides, don't I have you?" ”

Zhong Yong snorted softly again: This kid is relying on himself.

"It depends on what Jinxiu means, if there is someone else in her heart who is happy, I don't mind solving it for her in advance."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely wait for my cousin well, and I will never let my cousin complain."

Zhong Yong looked at this kid and said that this kid was also using all the available resources around him to seek benefits for himself.

"Did the guys in your family agree?"

"My father and mother are extremely happy, last time they were all misunderstood, and my father-in-law can rest assured."

Zhong Yong bowed his head, "It's hard for you." ”

He knew how difficult those people in the Shen family were.

When he heard that this kid was not salty, he calmed down, but it made him feel comfortable.

Zhong Yong had not left the palace yet, and was kept by a small eunuch.

Said that the emperor was invited.

Zhong Yong paused and said, "You wait for me at the gate of the palace." ”

"Yes, thank you, Lord Yue."

Zhong Yong entered the administrative hall and was about to salute, but the emperor directly excused him.

"Zhong Yong, what do you think of this assassination?"

Zhong Yong said: "Shen Mingze went to my Zhong house yesterday and stood outside the Zhong Mansion for a while before going back. It's not much of a problem to look at other people..."

"It's Tong Jiawei who I'm asking you."

Zhong Yong snorted lightly and said: "Actually acting as a street assassin and ignoring the laws of the imperial court, it is extremely hateful. Shen Mingze warned him this time, hoping that he could know his mistakes and change them. ”

This is what Tong Jiawei did.

"Well, in Yongxiang, the minister's retainers heard some movement."

"Then Tong Jiawei and Shen Mingze have no enmity, why do you say he assassinated him?"

Zhong Yong said: "This minister doesn't know, if the emperor allows it, please hand over the only living person to the minister, and the minister will definitely be able to find out something." ”

"You... Forget it, you better avoid suspicion and hand it over to the Criminal Department. The emperor said again, "Speaking of which, Shen Mingze acted, was it instructed by you?" A few days ago, you just mentioned to Zhen that there were people in the forbidden army who had small movements, and today he pulled people out. ”

"This... The minister also works for the emperor. "Zhong Yong doesn't want Shen Mingze to have extraneous branches, a forest of trees and trees, and the wind will blow it.

Since his daughter likes him, he doesn't mind taking care of one or two.

"That's it, after all, it's your son-in-law, and I'll take care of it. You also bind me to the forbidden army, I have always felt a little weird lately. ”

Zhong Yong said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Zhong Yong walked out of the administrative hall and out of the palace, Shen Mingze was really outside, and he said, "Let's go, go back to Zhong's mansion." ”

"That's right, my son-in-law is going to eat."

went to the Zhong Mansion, and Shen Mingze sneaked away to find Zhong Jinxiu.

Zhong Jinxiu is sitting on the swing in the yard at the moment, her calves are shaking vigorously, and she seems to be enjoying it.

Shen Mingze quietly went over and pushed it behind, Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "Peach, you're back." ”

Turning around slightly, looking forward to the brilliance, he actually saw Shen Mingze.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

"I came with my father-in-law."

A sentence of father-in-law made Zhong Jinxiu slightly impressive, but she was not a three-year-old child, so naturally she was not too shy.

Slightly frowning, his eyes moved slightly, he raised his eyebrows to look at his cousin, and smiled at each other.

"Cousin doesn't have to be restrained, just as usual."

The two got engaged, and when they met again, it felt a little different.

"Now that we meet, I don't know what to say?"

Shen Mingze said: "Why don't you guess cousin, when will we get married?" ”

What to say?

Zhong Jinxiu shook his head.

"My second brother's marriage has not yet been decided, and the two cousins of the Shen family, Yun Ying, are not married, so we are naturally not in a hurry."

"But I wanted to marry my cousin earlier, and I didn't want to wait for a moment." After waiting for two lifetimes, no one knows the anxiety in my heart.

The closer I got, the more excited I became.

Zhong Jinxiu looked at his sincere words, affectionate eyes, and barbecued her hotly, full of enthusiasm, she couldn't stand it a little, and slightly restrained her gaze.

He stopped: "Cousin, do you like to play leaf cards?" If the cousin is fine, let's find the second brother and the second brother to play cards together. ”

Shen Mingze looked at his cousin and avoided it, and slightly restrained the hot love in his heart, and couldn't let his cousin misunderstand himself.

Two lives, thousands of days and nights have waited.

"Yes, I'm afraid my cousins won't be able to play with us."

Zhong Jinxiu put people together and played.

I didn't stop until I had a meal.
