331. The Fifth Prince is indeed dead
The other side.
Governor Li was constantly wandering outside the mansion.
Governor Li thought in a trance that he had really lived a whole day like a dream.
First of all, he deliberately relaxed the guards in the city, and led the old Chu relics who fled out of the city to attack the city, so as to wipe them out, but at the end of the day, he suddenly found that the number of enemy troops was much more than he imagined, and there was bad news, not only the old Chu relics who were besieging the city, but the city gate was also broken!
At that moment, Governor Li wanted to die.
No one told him that this achievement was so difficult to get! Wouldn't he be able to become an official if he didn't go to the capital!
However, it turned out to be clear again, Lord Yi arranged reinforcements early and came back in time, and finally did not lose the city, and kept his head and black gauze hat.
But when he didn't have to fight the enemy desperately and came back happily, he suddenly received a secret letter from Master Yi, asking him to receive a good person.
This is the most incompetent thing for Governor Li to accept.
Because the secret letter has a personal name written on it: Shen Zhonghan - the general of Zhenguo who should have died in prison seven years ago and collaborated with the enemy and treason!!
Governor Li was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the secret letter.
How could it be Shen Zhonghan?!
Li Zhifu waited at the gate of the mansion in a trance, and when he finally saw the person, he didn't come back to his senses, and finally placed the prisoner to come to Yan Zhong to remind him. Looking at Shen Chen, who turned over and dismounted and strode towards him, Governor Li immediately knelt down.
"The lower officials have seen and seen the generals and generals!"
Governor Li is not stupid.
No matter what he said, he knew everything about the affairs in the city, and he had long known that the Yi Mansion was empty. So why is Yi Hong in Yifu at such a juncture, instead of dealing with post-war trivial matters?
Answer: There are guests in Yi Mansion who are more distinguished than Yi Hong.
In this case, Yi Hong also asked him to entertain Shen Chen, and said that everything was done by Shen Chen, and no matter what Shen Chen wanted to do, he would listen to it, which showed that the situation of this general was not something he should care about.
He had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Get up."
Hearing the man's majestic voice, Governor Li shrank his head and got up, secretly looking at Shen Chen, who was listening to Yan Zhong's advice.
In the past, in Beijing, he and this person were not qualified to say a word. The pride of the sky, the glory of honor, nothing more than this.
"That Xiao Xianwen has woken up now, and he wants to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but fortunately, he noticed it in time." Yan Zhong arched his hand and asked, "Brother Shen, are you going to try it now?" ”
Shen Chen bowed his head and looked at Governor Li: "Since Yi Hong has contacted you, he must have made it clear to you." The officials in the city are mixed, and it is not appropriate to use it now. You immediately give a letter to Song Lingjun in Pei County and ask him to come over to help you. ”
"Also, send people to guard the officials and not allow them to move. Qian Renjie in the quarantine camp kidnapped an official surnamed Qi, and you sent someone to bring him in and interrogate him to find out which officials had colluded with him to be thieves. ”
"Yes, Xiaguan will go immediately!"
Governor Li blurted out.
Now that there is the participation of the opposition party, the matter is not so simple, at least the saint will definitely intervene.
Governor Li tentatively: "The traitor who was caught? ”
Wang Shoudao: "The prefect doesn't need to take care of the rebels, just leave it to us." Since there are many prefects' affairs, there is no need to come with us, it is important to do your business first. ”
Governor Li nodded again and again, only pointed to a few officials to show Shen Chen and them the way, and then retreated.
Shen Chen took Wang Shou and Yan Zhong in, and on the way, Yan Zhong asked, "Where is Brother Qian?" ”
Wang Shoudao: "It's at my sister-in-law's." ”
Yan Zhong was relieved: "With my sister-in-law here, then Brother Qian will be fine." ”
Wang Shou looked at Shen Chen, who was walking in front of him, and whispered: "Don't you know, Lao Qian saw that Brother Shen and his sister-in-law were together, and he was so excited that he couldn't control his excitement and spit blood. That's it, I can laugh at him for the rest of my life. ”
Yan Zhong listened silently and didn't say anything.
He is still different from Wang Shou and Qian Renjie, and he only follows Han Qingfeng all the time. And Qian Renjie is the deputy general led by Shen Chen, and after Han Qingfeng was sent by the imperial court, Shen Chen promoted new deputy generals, one of whom was Wang Shou. The affection between them is not comparable to his.
However, Yan Zhong still couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so bold and dare to come to Jinling alone for the sake of Brother Shen." ”
"Who's to say it isn't."
Wang Shou gave a thumbs up in admiration.
As they were talking, they arrived at the prison, and Xiao Xianwen was in the innermost cell. He lay dying on a haystack, with new wounds from interrogation.
Shen Chen suddenly stopped, "You are waiting in the distance." ”
Wang Shou and Yan Zhong glanced at each other, but they were not worried that Xiao Xianwen would hurt Shen Chen, so they opened the prison door and retreated.
Shen Chen went in and stopped in front of Xiao Xianwen.
Xiao Xianwen raised his head with difficulty when he heard the voice, his face was pale from excessive blood loss, and the whole person was very embarrassed.
He stared at Shen Chen resentfully for a long time, and used his remaining hand to support himself and sit up with difficulty. A simple action made him sweat coldly.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, General Zhenguo is still alive."
Shen Chen looked at him condescendingly, with an indifferent expression: "How many people who forced the palace seven years ago are still alive?" ”
Xiao Xianwen sneered: "Do you think I will say it? ”
Shen Chen said: "Then how long do you think you can last with my interrogation methods?" ”
Xiao Xianwen's face froze, and his eyes showed some unconcealable fear.
In the past, anyone who fell into the hands of the general of Zhenguo would rather commit suicide than live to be interrogated by him. He couldn't kill himself.
Shen Chen turned around and sat down at the table next to him, looking at Xiao Xianwen lightly, "Whether you say it or not, it doesn't have much impact on me." Because, I have already met the five princes. ”
Xiao Xianwen's eyes tightened slightly: "Impossible!" ”
"How could it be impossible?" Shen Chen raised his eyebrows, "I can survive the palace change, why can't he?" After all, he had the upper hand back then, and the emperor only narrowly won. In this way, it is not difficult for him to arrange a life for himself. ”
Xiao Xianwen choked.
But soon, he said firmly: "There is no way you have seen the Fifth Prince!" If you want to cheat me, I won't be fooled! ”
Shen Chen said slowly: "No one will doubt what I said Shen Zhonghan. You are so sure, it seems that the fifth prince is indeed dead in the palace change, and I will never see it. ”
Xiao Xianwen's face changed slightly, and he clenched his teeth and stopped talking.
"Since the head of the rebel party has been ambushed, let's talk about the head of the rebellion this time." Shen Chen said, "In addition to the tens of thousands of people besieging the city, there are still 5,000 people in your camp in the mountains in the northwest outside the city, and there are also 40,000 soldiers marching towards this side in the hundred miles to the north. ”
Xiao Xianwen suddenly looked up at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen said lightly: "They are all defeated. ”
"It can't be!"
Xiao Xianwen was so emotional that he subconsciously wanted to get up, but he didn't have the strength, so he sat back and coughed violently.
He stared at Shen Chen and shouted, "There are so many people, it is impossible for them all to die!" You won't be able to find our camp either! Lie! ”
