Chapter 207: Qujiang Showdown

Although it was already summer in April, the wind was very cool under the shade of the Qujiang River.

Shen Dan was dressed in green clothes, and slowly boarded the painting boat under the willow smoke, and the bamboo curtains around the painting boat hung low, so he couldn't see the person inside. But after Shen Dangu entered, he caught a glimpse of Ning Shaobi, who was in a red robe and a golden crown, sitting in the boat, on the shelf next to the couch, standing a falcon with bright feathers and sharp eyes.

Although Shen Dangu guessed who invited him when he came, when he really saw Ning Shaobi at this moment, his heart was still sudden, he suppressed his emotions and bowed: "It turned out that it was the son of the world who was called, I don't know what to order?" ”

Shen Dangu was personable and polite, but Ning Shaobi obviously didn't intend to be perfunctory with him, she glanced at him casually, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only ordered outside: "Start the boat." ”

The cable was untied, the boat's penny was on the shore, and the painting boat suddenly slid fluently into the Qujiang River.

At this time, there were scattered painting boats on the river, and the boats of the newly sealed Yongguo Gongning family were inconspicuous among them.

When the painting boat arrived in the center of the river, the passing ships were far away, Ning Shaobi slowly accepted the 'jade' hairpin, and still ignored Shen Dangu, who was standing not far away, and opened the 'door' to see the mountain road: "Tang Yuan and Tang Cheng died tragically, the king of Jin committed suicide, and now it is difficult to get up from the couch, and the first emperor and the first queen are also prosperous under their knees, but now the royal family is very depressed, and your plan is almost over?" ”

Shen Dangu frowned, with a suspicious expression: "What does the prince mean by this?" Dangu is unknown, and I ask the prince to ......"

"You once asked Zhaojie to help and reached an agreement with Li Jiashilangjun to ask him to help you get something." Ning Shaobi interrupted him and said, "Zhaojie didn't have much interest in you originally, so I didn't ask much. This son paid attention to it, and just found that the thing you asked Li Jia Shiro Jun to help him get was the ashes of your so-called biological mother, and the reason why Li Jia Shilang Jun agreed to you was because you offered to transfer the hairpin ring worth hundreds of gold left to you by your biological mother to himβ€”β€”"

Shen Dangu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "There is indeed such a thing, but my mother ......"

"That Shu prostitute is from a humble background, so it's hard for you to keep calling her mother." Ning Shaobi sneered, ignoring his decomposition at all, and said to herself, "Just look at you paying such a price to 'handover' the ashes of that Shu prostitute, and no one else will suspect that you were born to her." It's just that do you really want the ashes, or do you want to lead this world to speculate? ”

"Shizi, please be careful, Dangu ......" Although Shen Dangu is usually not a person who talks much, he is actually not bad when it comes to tongue skills, but he is not bad to see who he is, like Ning Shaobi, a person who only talks about his own reasoning, even if he is a person who can speak well, he has a headache when he sees it, and Shen Dangu is even more difficult to find a chance to finish speaking-

Ning Shaobi snorted: "I guess that you are the son of a Shu prostitute, your father is afraid of guilt and dare not defend it, and your mother is jealous and can't see you!" But how can there be a group of loyal subordinates who secretly run for you and are driven by you? He sneered, "You are from Longyou again, Longyou is not far from the place where King Yan was exiled back then, there is an example of Tang Shenzhi, the Marquis of Yirong, ordinary people will inevitably guess you on the head of King Yan, isn't it?" ”

Shen Dangu heard the word "King Yan", his face changed for a moment, and he seemed to know that Ning Shaobi must 'force' himself to have a showdown today, and looked at the river outside the boat, he finally took the style of a weak young man who knew how to read and was polite, and chose a couch to sit on at random, and then said lightly: "Since the prince knows, he doesn't know what to do with me?" If you poke it out, as the prince said, there is an example of the righteous and honorable marquis, and I don't seem to have anything to fear. ”

"In that case, why don't you say it yourself?" Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "Although this son of the world doesn't care that you hurt the 'life' of Ning Han and Ning Xi in the Ning family's big house...... But I don't think the current queen and the crown prince will rest assured that you, the one who instigated between the princes and promoted the clan to kill each other, will continue to live? Where can you compare to Tang Shenzhi's well-behaved and sensible? ”

Shen Dangu sneered and said, "The son of the world is spewing blood!" Although my background is different, I have always sent people under the fence, and the life I live is not as good as that of the Righteous Marquis! After all, the Marquis of Yirong grew up in his maternal grandfather's house, and the Zhuo family is separated from me by a few layers! The grievances and humiliations I suffered when I was a child, can I compare with the Righteous and Honorable Marquis? ”

"This Shizi said that you did this, and there is naturally evidence." Ning Shaobi said disdainfully, "When the Zhaojie had not yet passed the 'door', the prince of this world took her to swim in this Qujiang River, Ning Ruiqing saw it on the other side, and it seemed that he had 'forced' you to say a few words, and you held a grudge, and then the big house was exiled to Jiannan - the Liang family was also exiled to Jiannan?" You always have some manpower there, so you instigated Ning Xi and Ning Han to do it! Otherwise, no matter how much these two people hate Dafang, how can they find a place where the miasma is thick enough and hidden enough, and they can avoid the eyes of Ou and others? ”

Shen Dangu said lightly: "Back then, King Yan and King Qi competed too much for the throne, so they were exiled by Emperor Jingzong!" Later, the king of Qi rebelled, and the Liang family followed, and Liang Bancheng, which was once prosperous in Chang'an, was destroyed! Since I am the queen of Yan, the Liang family is from the king of Qi, how can I obey me? ”

"Are you really Queen Yan?" Ning Shaobi smiled, "What is the queen of Yan - you are clearly the Liang family!" It's strange that you can't command the Liang family's manpower, most of the Yan King's manpower was scattered after the prince went, and now a little is in the hands of the princess and the county lord, and he has long stopped thinking about acting rashly, but he just lives with the old master! You must know that King Yan was born from Emperor Jingzong's Empress Yuan, do you think the first emperor will not thoroughly investigate his bloodline? Will they stay like the Yirong Marquis who slipped through the net? ”

"The Liang family?" Shen Dangu snorted and said, "It's ridiculous, the Liang family has been exiled for many years, and their children and grandchildren have been lost, and those who survive are just living in poverty...... And what can be done? ”

Ning Shaobi looked at him and said slowly: "Yes, everyone else is alive, but there are a few people who are different. These rooms are the brothers of Zhaojie's grandmother...... Although Zhaojie's grandmother refused to marry the first emperor and turned against her mother's family, she was reluctant to be exiled once her compatriots were exiled, and she wanted to intercede for her brother by fulfilling the favor of the first emperor...... But at that time, Zhuo Jian was planning to be promoted, so he naturally didn't want to make extraneous branches, and tried his best to oppose it, even at the expense of putting him under house arrest in the house! caused the husband and wife of Minping Hou and Mrs. Liang to turn against each other......"

Shen Dangu listened coldly, and suddenly interrupted: "In that case, aren't these rooms the same as exile?" ”

"That's right." Ning Shaobi's face sneered, and said, "But under the circumstances at that time, how could Mrs. Liang's actions be concealed from the first emperor and the succession?" Thinking of Mrs. Liang's initiative to retreat back then, the first emperor and the Liang family who had not pardoned Mrs. Liang's rooms due to the situation, but secretly told his henchmen to accompany him to Jiannan and treat Mrs. Liang's brothers and nephews leniently...... It is precisely because the local subordinate officials got this order and were more lenient to you that your elders had the opportunity to send you to Longyou and pretend to be the son of the Shen family - choosing the Shen family, of course, it was also because Mrs. Liang was indirectly angry with the Shen family, and in the name of the Shen family, something happened in the future, so she dragged the Shen family into the water, thinking that Mrs. Liang would take revenge, right? ”

"According to what Shizi said, since the Liang family has the idea of avenging Mrs. Liang, why did they let me live in the Zhuo family?" Shen Dangu asked rhetorically, "And it is also deeply cultivated by the Marquis of Minping!" Wouldn't this harm the descendants of Mrs. Liang? ”

Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "Old Madam Liang's descendants are even more after Marquis Min Ping!" Back then, the Liang family failed in their rebellion, and the future of the family was cut off! Mrs. Liang's brother-in-law tried every means to send a message to the Marquis of Minping's mansion, asking Mrs. Liang to enter the palace to intercede for her, but they were blocked by the Marquis of Minping - they hated Marquis Minping very much, and Mrs. Liang had died, so how could they care about the life and death of the descendants of the Zhuo family?! The purpose of your life is nothing more than to instigate the royal family to kill each other and repay the hatred of the Liang Manchus; The second dragged the Zhuo family and the Shen family into the water! Isn't it?! ”

Shen Dangu was still very calm: "Is there ironclad evidence that the prince said these words?" ”

"You're so naΓ―ve!" Ning Shaobi shook her head with laughter and sighed, "It's true that this son is Dali, but now he is not trying the case in Dali Temple, what do you want so much evidence for?" Isn't it enough to know that you did it? If the king of Yanchang can be assassinated, and the king of Lu can be given death, can you not die? ! ”

"Since the prince has no evidence, why should he mention the affairs of King Yan and the Liang family?" Shen Dangu said hesitantly, "The prince just wants to kill me, but he still wants to say such a thing, but why bother?" ”

Ning Shaobi said briskly: "You don't have to take the words of this son, this son wants you to die, can you live now?" This son is just curious, are you still swaddling in the name of the Shen family? How can the Liang family be so sure that you can succeed? Don't tell this son, when you were so young, you let the Liang family recognize your later prodigy name! ”

Shen Dangu sneered and said, "The prince of the world has already asked for my 'life', why should I tell the prince?" ”

"It's all a death horizontally and vertically, there's nothing wrong with that." Ning Shaobi said without thinking, "It's just that there are thousands of ways to die in this world, if you say it, maybe this son can still give you a good time." ”

"I have been sent under the fence all my life, and I have tasted all the suffering, will I still be afraid when I die?" Shen Dangu said lightly, "Unless the prince agrees to give me a chance to live, maybe my answer will surprise the prince very much, isn't it?" ”

Ning Shaobi said with a smile: "This son of the world will promise you now...... Can you believe it? ”

Shen Dangu choked.

Ning Shaobi's shamelessness is beyond the reach of countless gentlemen in Chang'an. His promises are only useful if he wants to keep them.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That son of the world first solved the doubts in my heart? Shen Dangu was silent for a long time, knowing that there was no way out to set foot on this painting boat today, and after thinking for a long time, he still made a request.

"You want to ask when Ben Shizi began to doubt your identity?" Ning Shaobi said immediately.

Shen Dangu couldn't help but admire his quick thinking: "Not bad! Shizi said that from the place I entrusted to Xiao Qi Niang, I wouldn't believe it, I have been very careful at that time! What's more, the prince has been planning to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend to the throne, even if he attaches importance to Xiao Qi Niang, how can he 'draw' so many people to track me down? ”

"This is to ask the little county lord of King Jin...... Oh, although there was an amnesty ten days ago, and the 'daughter' of the King of Jin was also pardoned, but I am afraid that the title of the county lord will not go back, and now I can only say Tang Qianxia. Ning Shaobi said lightly, "The phoenix 'flower' tree is from Nanzhao, close to Jiannan, Tang Qianxia copied the phoenix 'flower' bloom in you, how can this son not think about it?" ”

Shen Dangu frowned and said, "The words of the prince are unbelievable! My mother is also a Shu person, and Shu also belongs to Jiannan, so why can't there be a painting of a phoenix 'flower'? ”

Ning Shaobi said lightly: "This is your fate is not good, in order to instigate the King of Jin and Jinshang, you have been close to Tang Qianxia for a period of time, and you hinted that you were the queen of Yan at that time." But that time when Tang Qianxia wanted to see the painting of the phoenix 'flower' tree, you didn't let it, the little lady was very suspicious, and immediately set out to check the Shu prostitute that Shen was accepted - the Shu prostitute was a Shu person, but she had never been to a place with a large phoenix 'flower' tree. After all, Shu is not small, and the phoenix 'flower' tree is not like the weeping willow that can be seen everywhere, hehe, Shu is in Jiannan! Tang Qianxia immediately suspected the Liang family...... In fact, for Tang Qianxia, she doesn't care if you are the queen of Yan or the Liang family, Heng Zhi can help her avenge her mother, the problem is that you deliberately conceal it, there must be a plan, so she kept an eye on it. ”

Shen Dangu was stunned for a moment before he said, "Even so, can it be said that Cheng's mother copied it from elsewhere?" ”

"It's just that your painting is too realistic." Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "This is the freehand of the Liang family's exile place, isn't it?" Tang Qianxia asked the son of this world to send someone to Jiannan to see, the mountains and 'flower' trees near the place of exile of the Liang family, after the description came back, Tang Qianxia thought that it was the same as your painting - so you can't guess the identity of your Liang family? ”

Shen Dangu suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said, "I see! ”

"It's your turn to answer this son!" Ning Shaobi frowned and reminded.
