Chapter 398: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
Shen Mansion, as soon as the sky was bright, Shen Xingwang got up to practice boxing.
As soon as he walked into the yard, a hand stretched out from behind the water tank and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Brother Xingwang~~ Help me! Please!" A panicked voice.
Shen Xingwang hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Shen Lingling's younger brother Shen Xiaoshi.
Shen Xiaoshi shrunk behind the water tank and shivered, his face was covered with blood, and his eyes were full of horror.
"Shen Xiaoshi? Why are you here?" Shen Xingwang was frightened when he saw him like this, "Come in with me." ”
Shen Xingwang brought Shen Xiaoshi into the house and closed the door.
"What's going on? Why are you like this?" Shen Xingwang poured Shen Xiaoshi a cup of tea and looked at him with a surprised face.
Shen Xiaoshi was frightened, and he took a big sip of the teacup in despair, which was so hot that he spit it out again.
Being burned like this made him come to his senses a bit.
"Murdered, Brother Xingwang." Shen Xiaoshi trembled and held the teacup, "My father, my mother, my brother. They were all killed. ”
"What?" Shen Xingwang's face changed greatly, and Huo Di got up, "Then why don't you hurry up and report to the official?"
"No, don't report to the police." Shen Xiaoshi dragged Shen Xingwang down, "Yes, it was sent by Prime Minister Zhou Cheng to do it, and it is useless to report to the official." ”
"Prime Minister Zhou? How is that possible?" Shen Xingwang was surprised inexplicably, isn't Shen Lingling the aunt of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why did Prime Minister Zhou do such a thing?
"It's really him, I heard their conversation."
"Don't be afraid, what the hell is going on? Tell me about it first. Shen Xingwang patted Shen Xiaoshi's shoulder.
Shen Xiaoshi trembled about what happened last night.
I slept until midnight last night, and there was a sudden abnormal noise in the main house where his father and mother lived.
Shen Xiaoshi, who was sleeping in the side room, and his brother heard the movement and thought that a thief was coming, so his brother told Shen Xiaoshi to stay in the house, and he copied a stick and went to the main house.
Shen Xiaoshi was worried that the thief would slip away from the back door, so he went around to the backyard to block the door.
When he arrived at the back door, he smelled a strong smell of blood, something flowed out of the crack in the door, and he touched his hand full of blood, and he was frightened and overwhelmed, and then he heard someone talking inside, and he heard the voice of one of them, it was Steward Liao next to Prime Minister Zhou.
"They won't let me go, Brother Xingwang, please save me." Shen Xiaoshi knelt down towards Shen Xingwang and slammed his head a few times.
"You get up first." Shen Xingwang called Shen Xiaoshi up, "Why did Prime Minister Zhou kill you?" Do you know why?'
Shen Xiaoshi thought for a while, "I don't know the specifics, but my sister was quite proud when she came back some time ago, saying that she was about to soar, and Zhou Chenxiang would definitely help her to be his wife, and she would be able to seal her order in the future. ”
"I see." Shen Xingwang nodded.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, waiting beside such powerful ministers will inevitably snoop on some privacy, and it is reasonable to be too greedy to attract such a murderous disaster.
"Brother Xingwang~~ I have no relatives in the capital, only you can save me." Shen Xiaoshi looked at Shen Xingwang pleadingly. Shen Xingwang was originally kind, and he was a fellow villager, so he couldn't bear to see death without help.
Besides, Shen Lingling's father and brother's three views are still positive, at that time, Shen Youyou's flavonoid body ruptured and died, that is, Niu's non-blame was on Shen Yu's head, and her father and brother were still desperately persuading.
But if the person who wanted to kill Shen Xiaoshi was really Prime Minister Zhou, how could he save him? By the way, King Xuan, you can only try to find King Xuan.
Thinking of this, Shen Xingwang said to Shen Xiaoshi, "They must know that we know each other, so my family is not safe, you come with me quickly." “
After saying that, Shen Xingwang asked Shen Xiaoshi to change into his clothes, hurriedly went out from the back door of the mansion, and called a carriage to go to King Xuan's mansion.
As soon as they left on their front feet, several men in black jumped into the courtyard on their back feet, searched around, and quietly left when they saw that they had not found them. Xuan Wang's Mansion, Xuan Wang Wei Mi was having breakfast, and Manager Sun came in to report.
"Your Highness, Steward Shen of the World Commercial Bank is asking to see you outside the mansion.
"Hurry up and invite him in." King Xuan wondered for a moment.
For example, if the business bank is in charge of him today, Shen Xingwang reports to him on business matters, but they are all solved in the business bank, and it is the first time to take the initiative to go to the palace to ask for a meeting, isn't there something important that happened?
Just a little uneasy, Shen Xingwang hurriedly came in with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, my subordinates have something to report." Shen Xingwang said directly after entering the flower hall, and glanced around.
"Stand down, all of you." King Xuan retreated everyone and looked at Shen Xingwang, "What's going on?"
Shen Xingwang said to Shen Xiaoshi, who was dressed as a small servant, "This is His Royal Highness King Xuan, if you want to live, it depends on whether His Royal Highness King Xuan has a way." ’
Shen Xiaoshi hurriedly knelt down towards Wei Mi, and there were a few bangs.
"Please ask His Royal Highness King Xuan to help, please ask His Royal Highness King Xuan to help!"
"What's going on?" Wei Mi looked at Shen Xingwang inexplicably.
Shen Xingwang hurriedly said, "Back to Your Highness, this is the younger brother of Aunt Shen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his family was wiped out last night, and he escaped by luck." ’
"This~~ is there such a thing?" King Xuan has not heard of it yet, after all, this kind of death and life of ordinary people will not be transmitted to the palace no matter what.
"Shen Xiaoshi, hurry up and explain what happened to your Highness clearly, and see if Your Highness can save you."
Shen Xiaoshi hurriedly told King Xuan what happened last night, and King Xuan was also confused after hearing it.
Aunt Shen took the handle of Zhou Chengxiang~~ What is the handle that makes Zhou Chengxiang so jealous, and she has to destroy Aunt Shen's door?
It seems that this matter should not be a trivial matter, corruption and bribery? Collusion with Yongsheng Commercial Bank? Or is he having some other conspiracy? King Xuan is also the second monk of Zhang, and he is confused.
After thinking about it, he decided to save Shen Xiaoshi first, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he might be able to ask this secret from Aunt Shen's mouth.
"Let him stay in my Xuanwang Mansion for the time being." King Xuan said, "The rest will be decided when I hear the situation clearly." ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Xuan, for saving your life." Shen Xiaoshi kowtowed gratefully.
King Xuan's kung fu is not much worse than that of the Night King, and he also has a group of secret guards under his hands, so the Xuan King's Mansion is safer than the Night King's Mansion.
Even if Prime Minister Zhou knew that Shen Xiaoshi was staying in King Xuan's Mansion, he wouldn't be able to kill him for a while.
After placing Shen Xiaoshi properly, King Xuan entered the palace to go to court, and Shen Xingwang went to the Tianxia Commercial Bank.
As soon as he entered the Tianxia Commercial Bank, he heard that Shopkeeper Li and Zhao Han were discussing the destruction of Shen Xiaoshi's family, so Shen Xingwang leaned over to listen.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that after Prime Minister Zhou Cheng sent someone to kill Shen Xiaoshi's family, he found Shen Zuorong, a gambler, as a substitute for the dead ghost, this method ~~ is really clever.
Speaking of King Xuan, after entering the palace, he was directly summoned by the emperor into the imperial study.
Seeing King Xuan come in, Emperor Qi Heng stood up with a crumbling body, grief-stricken.
"I just received a letter from Tongzhou Thorn Shi, saying that your imperial brother and sister-in-law had an accident, and the carriage they were riding in fell off the cliff.
You, you hurry up and take someone to Tongzhou to have a look~~"
