Shi Lei and his wife Yu Qing heard that the child would arrive in the capital recently, so they prepared early to greet him.

No, before noon, someone came to inform him that the general had arrived in the capital.

Because Shishan guarded the city at the border, he gathered less with his parents and left more, the two elders gave birth to a girl and a boy over the years, the eldest son Shishan was named the general of the city, and the second daughter Shiyu was accompanied by her parents, and she was almost married to the age of marriage.

"Yu'er meets Ama Eniang!" A slim daughter came to the second elder to say hello.

She is Shi Yu, the daughter of Shi Lei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was born with a delicate face, a slender figure gentle like water, a small face with skin as white as snow, hair hanging down the waist, cherry mouth, willow eyebrows, and a pair of clear and bright eyes are very lovely.

"Yu'er, I heard that your brother is about to return home, you asked your subordinates to prepare some food that your brother likes, the child should have suffered a lot of sins at the border gate." Madame Yu Qing said gently.

"E-niang, the child has already ordered the people to get ready, I heard that my brother is coming soon, so I am not in a hurry to come to greet me." Shi Yu sat in the front hall with Eniang.

After a while, I heard someone outside the house shouting: "The general is back, the general is back." "That person is Uncle Wang, the housekeeper in the house.

The general asked the butler, "Butler, where are my Ama and my sister?" ”

"They're already waiting for the general in the antechamber." The butler followed the general into the front hall.

I saw a majestic and handsome man outside the door walk in, and said lightly: "The son sees Ama Eniang, forgive the child for being unfilial, and he has not seen his parents for many days, and he is very guilty. ”

Before Shangshu and Mrs. could answer, Yu'er next to her was so happy that she hurriedly ran over and said mischievously: "Brother, brother, Yu'er misses you." ”

"Sister!" Shi Shan has felt sorry for this sister since he was a child, he loves her in everything and lets her, naturally the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is also very good, and Yu'er is like a child who can't grow up in front of him.

"Yu'er, let your brother rest and rest, don't pester him." The lady looked at her and wanted to be naughty with the mountains, but the child was also very hard to travel these days, so she stopped her.

Yu'er could only reluctantly sit beside her brother.

It's still my sister who feels sorry for her brother, she looked at her brother from top to bottom, and found that he was thinner, and at the same time found his injuries.

"Brother, are you injured?" Yu'er said distressedly.

When Shang Shu and his wife heard this, they hurriedly got up and walked over, and saw a red gauze ribbon wrapped around Shi Shan's arm, and traces of blood were still faintly visible.

"Shan'er, this, what's going on?" Shangshu asked, this child was ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing, why was he injured?

"Don't get in the way, Ama Eniang, Shan'er was just attacked on the road, and later got out of danger with the help of Wu Shangshu's two sons and a young lady, so it's just some skin trauma, it doesn't matter." He said calmly.

"Know who did it?" Shang Shu asked.

"I don't know." Shi Shan looked at his parents' distressed eyes, and his sister's cute appearance, he hadn't seen them for a few days, and this warm feeling suddenly permeated the entire hall.

Shi Shan said again: "Presumably some idle people are waiting for the wrong person." In fact, he knew that these people were all people who came to ask for their lives, and how could they be idle people, but he had just returned home, and he didn't want his parents and sister to worry, so he didn't want to tell the truth.

"That's good, if there are people who want to hurt my children, I will not let them go!" Shang Shu's face suddenly became gloomy.

The general seemed to understand what Amma meant, and with his understanding of Amma over the years, if someone wanted to move the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, it would definitely be against Amma, how could he let it go?

After some greetings and chats, Shangshu discussed with Shan'er that he should meet the saint as soon as possible after resting for a few days, and he didn't know why the emperor asked him to return to Beijing.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reading a book, but he heard someone outside the door asking to see him.

"Your Majesty, the general and Shi Shangshu ask to meet!"

"Xuan!"

When the two entered the house, they said at the same time: "See the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

"General Shangshu, please take a seat." The emperor was overjoyed.

After the two sat down, the emperor said: "The general has worked hard these days!" ”

"It is the duty of a minister to serve the emperor, and it is the honor of a minister!" Stone Mountain is polite and authentic.

"I specially asked the general to return to Beijing, presumably the general is also guessing what is going on, right?" The emperor said, seeing that the two were looking at him and waiting for an answer.

"The minister does not dare to speculate on the emperor's holy will without authorization." Ishiyama replied on the side.

"The general doesn't have to worry too much, this matter has to start with the matter of Concubine Shu for many years."

"Concubine, haven't you been dead for many years?" Shang Shu replied.

"Although the words are not wrong, presumably Shangshu also knows about the prince and princess, and I sent a few people to the prison, just because the concubine was wrongfully killed by the concubine's family." I can hear that the emperor's words are a little longing.

"Unjust death?" Shi Shangshu and the general suddenly felt confused.

The emperor slowly explained everything, but the release did not reveal anything.

"What does the emperor mean? The little prince is the son of the concubine? That is, the prince? "Shangshu's understanding is correct, no wonder the emperor has a previous statement of the two princes in the court.

"Exactly."

"This ......" Shang Shu and the general never thought that things would be so tortuous.

The emperor pondered for a while before saying: "So when the general returns to the house, he can publicize that he is returning to the house to visit relatives, and internally, I have to ask the general to assist Wei Xiangguo and his eldest daughter Wei Xin to investigate the truth of this matter, and I can't let Concubine Shu be wrongfully killed in vain." ”

"I have been informed of an attack on the General's way, and this seems to have alarmed some people. You need to be more mindful these days. The emperor said to the general.

The general wanted to inform the Holy Lord of the attack this time, but he didn't expect that the Holy Lord had already learned about it, and it seemed that the emperor had already prepared.

"Obey your orders!" The two replied.

"There is another thing to inform the general, the capital is not peaceful these days, and you are attacked, the general does not have to go to the court, so as not to cause too much suspicion, you only need to cooperate with Xiangguo and Princess Xin to investigate secretly."

"No!" Shi Shan replied, this time he somewhat understood what the emperor meant, and he was afraid of alarming the person who caused the death of Concubine Shu back then, so this excuse is the best explanation and protection.

After some discussion, they retired and left the palace.

On the second day, there was a scene of the ministers going to court.

However, the general did not appear in the court according to the emperor's holy will, but prepared to secretly go to Xiangguo to investigate this matter in the palace.

Xiangfu Li Weixin was about to go out, but was informed by the housekeeper that the general asked to see him.

She changed her clothes and waited for the general to arrive.

I saw that the general and the butler went straight to the front hall of Weixin.

"See Princess Heart!" Stone Hill Road.

"The general doesn't have to be polite!" Wei Xin replied.

"General, please!"

Shi Shan sat down and said, "Presumably the princess already knows the purpose of my visit this time. ”

"General, Huang Ama has already informed me, so naturally he knows what his old man means."

"Princess, I hope that I can help the princess in the future, even if I open my mouth."

"The general has conceded, this matter is not trivial, presumably the general also knows the meaning of the saint, so try to contact secretly in the future, beware of the bad guys becoming suspicious."

"What the princess said is reasonable, and Ishiyama understands. It's just one thing, Shi Shan wants to ask the princess, just a few days ago on the way back to the house, a group of men in black attacked me, and they asked for my life, I wonder if there can be some clues? ”

"What do you say? You were attacked on your way home? ”

"Exactly!" Shi Shan always felt that this matter was a little strange, if it had nothing to do with this matter, he really couldn't figure out why he wanted to ask for his life, he had always guarded the city at the border pass, this was a succession of victories, and he was quite cautious in handling things, and he had never offended anyone.

"But what evidence?" Wei Xin understood what he meant. Being asked for his life for no reason should not happen to a city defender.

She suddenly remembered that she had suffered the same thing a few days ago.

He said calmly: "Don't hide it from the general, a few days ago, I also suffered the same attack, could these black-clothed people be the same gang?" ”

"Is that really the case?" Ishiyama asked.

"Yes." She nodded.

Both of them felt that the man in black had some connection, and they also came to ask for her life, and it seemed that this matter was known without any clues, and this matter was by no means so simple.

"The general will have to be careful in the future." Wei Xin cares about the authentic.

"That's natural, princess, so are you, notify me as soon as there is a situation, I will always stay in the house to visit relatives." Ishiyama explained the Holy Lord's commands.

"Okay, then there will be General Lao in the future." Wei Xin said politely.

"Princess Xin doesn't have to be polite, she can do things for the emperor, and the minister will never give up." After the words fell, he said goodbye and went home first.

After the general left, Wei Xin has been restless, if these two groups of black-clothed people are in the same gang, then it will take a lot of thought to find out about this matter.
