Chapter 157: Conspiracy
After the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the streets in the imperial capital became more festive, and the lantern festival continued to unfold for three days on the riverside in the west of the city, and even the academies that were not disturbed by the outside world brought some lively and joyful atmosphere.
Shen Yu looked at the big red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the academy gate, and thought to himself that they really looked like the two big eyes of the red tail in the deep sea.
In the distance, Li Wushu jumped and ran over, holding two strings of sugar gourds in both hands, and said happily, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Shen Yu said lightly: "It's very insincere to say this after the festival has passed."
Her Royal Highness wrinkled her tall and delicate nose and said, "Don't be so stingy, oh! I'm going to find someone to make an invincible gourd skewer and give you one."
Shen Yu shook his head slightly, vaguely remembering that this was the most unpalatable food in the world.
Shen Yu said, "How are you reading today's book?"
The young man's eyes rolled and he said, "There is a lantern festival in the west of the city today, and the mountain is lively, or I will take you around."
Shen Yu still shook his head.
The girl's eyes widened, and she said indignantly, "You are such a boring person."
When Shen Yu heard this comment, he smiled for some reason, sat on the recliner, and said, "I remember that the academy assessment will start when the Lantern Festival is over, and when you come back after playing, remember to pass the assessment."
When the girl heard this, her head hurt, she sighed, and suddenly said with a suspicious face, "Why are you so concerned about my affairs? You won't..."
The girl's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "You won't like me! I'm telling you, it's impossible for us! I'm really good at the people I like."
Shen Yu said calmly, "You owe me a favor, you should always do me a favor."
Li Wushu scratched his head and said cutely, "What are you doing?"
Shen Yu said seriously, "Take me to see your father."
Li Wushu almost squirted out all the sugar gourds in his mouth, and said in surprise, "Do you know who my father is?"
Shen Yu said lightly, "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Fallen leaves fell to the ground, silent, and so did the gate.
Li Wudi's eyes changed, becoming cautious and sensitive, as if he was a kitten that felt the aura of danger.
This is probably the intuition of people in the royal family.
"What do you want to do?" Li Wushu subconsciously took two steps back.
Shen Yu asked, "What are you worried about?" Are you afraid that I will do something to your father?"
Li Wudi's face turned red, and he snorted coldly: "Although my father and emperor have been busy with political affairs all these years, his cultivation has actually secretly surpassed nine out of ten great cultivators in the world, not to mention that in the imperial capital, he is even more invincible in the world!" I'm still afraid of you?"
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quipped: "Today, everyone is speculating whether the Tang Emperor will practice or not, and how deep the realm is, even the land of thousands of rivers can't find out... And if your father knew that he had a daughter like you, he would be very pleased."
Li Wudi's eyes widened, he instantly covered his mouth, and shook his head desperately.
Shen Yu said lightly, "I want to ask him a few things, it has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to worry about anything."
Shen Yu spoke with a very serious expression, in fact, he didn't lie.
Teaching the little girl in front of her to comprehend the sword intent was originally for this matter.
The girl said, "You are a member of the Taoist Sect."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Wudi was silent for a long time and said, "Let me think about it."
Shen Yu said, "Okay."
"If I can't pass the college's assessment this time."
The girl blinked and said, "What then?"
Shen Yu said, "Then you naturally don't have to promise me to do something."
The girl nodded heavily, "Good!"
...
Li Wudi seemed to feel that he was finally alone, and he had succeeded in talking about something big enough to go down in history, and with a proud face, he ran out to play happily with satisfaction.
Shen Yu looked at the girl's distant back, looking in the direction of the palace, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, there was a sound of sizzling around me.
It was the footsteps, the extremely many steps, approaching the academy from all directions with a light and neat pace.
Shen Yu's eyes drooped slightly.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in an official uniform strode in, his face majestic.
He was followed by countless Tang officers and soldiers, dressed in iron armor and holding spears, and his momentum was extremely extraordinary.
Shen Yu knew that this was the Yulinwei in the imperial capital, that is, the legendary forbidden army.
Yu Linwei usually only hides in the palace, but at this moment, he is here, such a big battle, it seems that he really values him.
The middle-aged official said calmly: "This official suspects that you are related to a case of the Shen family in Nanhe City ten years ago, and now you must be arrested and tried, and you must not resist, otherwise..."
Shen Yu frowned, Datang's national strength was at its peak, and now even Dali has become Datang territory.
Without thinking much about it, Shen Yu smiled and said, "How?"
The middle-aged official said lightly, "There is no forgiveness for killing."
Shen Yu's face was expressionless, he knew that after coming to the imperial capital, it would not be so easy all day, but he didn't expect that someone would use that incident as a handle.
Nanhe City is the territory of the Dali Dynasty, and now it has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally the case of Nanhe City was taken over by the Datang.
Regarding the matter of the Shen family ten years ago, he had a knot in his heart, and he had never talked about it with anyone, but now he was deliberately rehashed of the old things, so he was naturally in a bad mood.
The surrounding Yu Lin Wei were naturally cultivators, and at this moment, his aura was locked on the young man in green shirt in front of him.
It seems that if he dares to make the slightest move, he will be killed with a thunderous force.
Datang wants to arrest the disciples of the Taoist Sect in the academy, which is an extremely strange thing, and it can be described as an entanglement of three forces.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
At this moment of stalemate, a gentle voice came from the academy, "Rest assured, it's okay."
When the middle-aged official heard that someone in the academy was speaking, his face couldn't help but change slightly.
When Shen Yu heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Let's go."
...
It was Wang Zhixuan, a waiter from the Criminal Department, who arrested Shen Yu, and he naturally didn't need to appear in person for things like this on weekdays, and this time it obviously represented his ambition to succeed in this matter.
Shen Yu was held in the prison of the Criminal Department, and no one was allowed to visit him.
This situation is very similar to when he thought about the cliff in the Qinglu Temple.
Shen Yu stood on the ground stacked with withered grass, silently pondering.
Who exactly?
That matter had been reluctantly suppressed within the Dao Sect at the beginning, and Lu Wenyu, who was sent by the academy to try the case, didn't even say anything more.
In addition, over the years, his reputation in the Taoist Sect has become higher and higher, and according to common sense, this matter will be regarded as the dust of history, gradually erased, and then completely disappear.
But now it has been turned out, who is it, and how dare it?
Although Shen Yu didn't care, he was very curious.
Because he couldn't even figure out who was behind the scenes.
There were also some people in the cell, most of them were strong men with sharp eyes, and they all looked at each other at this moment, and they all slowly stood up.
Shen Yu saw the knives they were holding from their waists behind them, and their aura was clearly that of cultivators.
Swords are allowed in the prison, and there are so many cultivators, which is strange, but at the same time it is obvious.
Shen Yu shook his head slightly, if it was an ordinary cultivator of the Jindan Realm, he might really suffer a big loss here.
But obviously, he is not an ordinary Jindan realm.
So then I could only hear the click of broken bones, and for half an hour, the men who were obviously deliberately sent in kept rolling on the ground in pain.
Shen Yu still stood there quietly, thinking to himself, I don't know if you have underestimated me, or underestimated yourself.
After a while, Wang Zhixuan appeared outside the cell with a group of people, his face gloomy and light
With a wave of his hand, a few people came and carried the waste out.
Wang Zhixuan said indifferently: "The evidence of the incident in Nanhe City back then is conclusive, and you have no room to refute."
Shen Yu glanced at him like a fool.
Back then, he personally said those things clearly in front of the Taoist Patriarch's Palace, but as for the conclusive evidence, it was too ridiculous.
Wang Zhixuan's face became more and more difficult to look at, and said, "You don't admit your guilt?"
Shen Yu closed his eyes, finally determined something in his heart, and at the same time stopped talking.
I don't know how long it took, but the prison was quiet and empty again.
Nothing was said all night.
When the sky was about to dawn, Shen Yu opened his eyes and thought that the main lord should be coming.
