Shen Chen's body was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

He said slowly: "If you dare to do that, you won't be able to get out of this Tianzi room today." You can guess, I'm going to kill you, will the court move me for you? ”

Yi Hong glanced down at the sharp blade on his neck, and he could clearly feel a chill.

But Yi Hong didn't panic, and said calmly: "How can the imperial court not?" ”

Shen Chen said coldly: "You know. ”

Yi Hong shook his head: "No, Yi is stupid, I really don't understand." Yi is an important minister of the imperial court, and you Shen Chen are just a commoner now, how can the imperial court not? ”

Shen Chen knew that Yi Hong was forcing himself to break the current situation, and he couldn't help but look dark.

But he had no choice, as Yi Hong said, Lin Xi was still in Yifu. Yi Hong has complete control over the Yi Mansion, but I am afraid that he has already ordered someone to ambush Lin Xi, and Lin Xi's life is in danger.

Shen Chen sneered: "You are the old fox that the emperor pulled out single-handedly, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" ”

"Even though Daqin is now a north-south trade, is the actual situation very good? Outside the north, Daqin has frequently lost battles, and the lost city has not been recovered; To the south, several tribes fought for the throne, and once there was a warlike succession to the throne of the Khan, a war would be waged against Qin in just a few years. Does Daqin have a general now? How many people can live in the town? ”

"It's just about the present, you designed to lure me here, because what, what are you pretending to be confused? I don't care what you're going to do here, I'm not interested, and I don't want to participate. ”

Shen Chen withdrew the dagger, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger disappeared into his sleeve.

"I won't be here for long, and you won't want to know the consequences of angering me. I hope that when my wife and I leave, you will continue to be a quail and not get in the way. Otherwise, don't blame me for dismantling your hard-earned bureau. ”

Shen Chen glanced at Yi Hong warningly, turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Yi Hong suddenly said: "What if I say, just these two days? ”

Shen Chen's footsteps paused.

Yi Hong got up, looked at Shen Chen's back, and said: "North-south trade is a major event, but at this time, I was assassinated by the Holy Lord, inspecting all parties, I believe you can definitely guess what the reason is, what the Holy Lord wants me to do." ”

"You guessed it right, my mother's poisoning was indeed my doing, but it wasn't what I meant. That's my mother, how could I have poisoned her?! But I ...... In spite of oneself. ”

Shen Chen didn't say anything.

Yi Hong smiled bitterly: "Shen Chen, Yi needs your help." It is impossible for the Holy Lord to send me other manpower now, and even if I have no last resort, the chances of me being able to do it are very small. But with your help, I have a great chance of victory, and I will not be in vain for my mother's suffering. ”

He said it sincerely, and his words were sincere, but Shen Chen, who was facing away from him, was not moved at all.

Shen Chen only said one sentence: "Although the saint is indeed shameless today, he is not shameless enough to force people to kill his mother, are you sure you want the saint to carry this pot?" ”

The sadness on Yi Hong's face disappeared instantly, he looked at Shen Chen fixedly, and said, "Yi can't help himself, it's true." ”

"You can't help yourself, so you take me as a matter of course, hoping to exchange my last bit of value for your benefit?" Shen Chen said coldly.

Yi Hong stopped talking.

Shen Chen's voice was unwavering, "If I don't see my wife for a long time after returning to the inn, you will bear the consequences." ”

After that, Shen Chen didn't stay any longer and left this private room.

After Shen Chen left, it didn't take long for the people guarding outside to come in, go straight to Yi Hong's side, bow his head and say, "Master, what should I do after that?" ”

Yi Hong sat back, tasted the tea by himself, and said, "I don't know if Shen Chen is really difficult to deceive, or if the official's poor work is not as good as before." ”

The subordinate said respectfully: "The master is still powerful, but after all, it is Shen Chen, and it is normal not to be trapped." ”

Yi Hong held the teacup thoughtfully and asked, "What about Shen Chen's wife?" ”

"I've left the house."

"Can I meet my mother alone?"

"Yes."

"How long?"

"About...... Half an hour smaller. ”

When Yi Hong heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered: "Usually my mother will never see outsiders for so long, is it ...... Strange, how could my mother want to protect Shen Chen's wife? ”

The subordinates on the side lowered their heads and did not dare to respond to this.

Yi Hong drank all the tea in the cup and said, "Pass on the official's order, and the lantern festival in the city tomorrow will be held as usual." ”

"Yes."

……

The other side.

Shen Chen returned to the inn, and when he arrived at the door of the room, he was a little afraid to go in for a while.

He stood at the door for a long time, but Lin Xi inside opened the door first.

Lin Xi was hungry for dinner, and just wanted to ask the shopkeeper for food, when he suddenly saw Shen Chen there, he was surprised and puzzled: "You came back so quickly, I thought you were going to stay with your friends all day." But why didn't you come back and not come in? ”

Shen Chen's eyes swept around Lin Xi vaguely, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Shen Chen explained: "I didn't talk about it, I was angry and didn't want to stay any longer, so I left early." ”

"Anything else that can make you angry?" Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen rarely.

Shen Chen hummed and asked, "What do you want to do when you come out?" ”

Lin Xi said: "I'm hungry, I'm looking for a shopkeeper to pass on the meal, you came back at this point, didn't you eat?" Do you want to come with me? ”

Shen Chen said, "Then I'll go down to find the shopkeeper, and you wait in the room." ”

"Okay!"

Lin Xile didn't have to run away, and went back happily.

Shen Chen turned around and went downstairs, secretly observing the surroundings as he walked.

Sure enough, he found at least six people nearby, all of whom were practitioners. If his guess is correct, it should be Yi Hong who was transferred from the army.

He had long heard that the four clans of Jinling Yi, Jiangyou Yang, Guanzhong Xiao and Lanyang Lu were the people who were specially approved by the Holy Lord to have private armies.

This time, the Holy Lord asked Yi Hong to come back to Jinling to do things, which should also be due to Yi Hong's private army.

Shen Chen asked for the freshly prepared meal and brought it back to the room to eat with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi couldn't help but say to Shen Chen: "Shen Chen, do you know, the old lady deliberately poisoned herself, and the culprit is not the Wang family, it is the old lady's own son Yi Hong!" ”

Shen Chen had expected it, and it was not too surprising.

Lin Xi continued: "Of course, this is nothing compared to what I know later. Do you know what I heard from the old lady? ”

Shen Chen: "Huh? ”

Lin Xi was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he lowered his voice and said, "The old lady said that I look like the Chu woman in the Guanzhong region she knew before!" ”

Shen Chen suddenly tightened his hands, and his voice tightened: "What did you say?!" ”

"Pretty unexpected, wasn't it? The old lady didn't tell me who this woman was, but only said that she eloped for her lover back then, and her family was martyred by Jiu Chu. Lin Xi saw that Shen Chen's face changed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said in front of the old lady, and the old lady doesn't know that I may have something to do with old Chu." I'm hiding it. ”
