Chapter 8: The Aftermath

Smart people never let go of every detail, and they can easily see the essence of things through appearances.

Sheng has always been a smart person, his sense of smell is very keen, and he never lets go of clues.

Originally, he just wanted to stand up for his subordinates, but he didn't want to touch his nose in front of King Xiao. However, he also got an unexpected gain, as he found King Xiao and the Great Swordsman Sword Shadow Fifth Row together. He didn't know what they were going to do, but he knew it must be something out of the ordinary.

So as soon as he returned to the temple, the first thing he did was to find his father, and he wanted to tell him about it.

In the temple, Sheng Lingren was having fun with more than ten beauties in the inner hall, and Sheng inexplicably broke in directly.

Sheng is inexplicably very different from his father and brother's temperament, he has always disliked beauty.

"Give it all to me." Sheng said inexplicably as soon as he came in.

No matter what Sheng inexplicably does, Sheng Ling people will not be angry. Because the person Sheng Ling people trust the most is not his biological son Sheng Zhiqiang, but his righteous son Sheng inexplicable.

Sheng inexplicably's martial arts are higher than Sheng Zhiqiang's, and his actions are more sophisticated. Although Sheng Lingren is also greedy for women, his heart is brighter than anyone else. He knows what he should do and what he should not do; I also know who I can trust around me and who is embarrassed. He knew that Sheng Moming was the closest person to him, so in recent years, he handed over the general affairs in the temple to Yizi Sheng Inexplicably to take care of. Although Sheng Zhiqiang was unconvinced, he couldn't do anything.

He saw that Sheng retreated as soon as he came in inexplicably, and knew that he must have made some new discoveries, so he asked, "Ming'er, what's wrong?" ”

Sheng replied inexplicably: "The child met someone today. ”

"Who?"

"King Xiao." Sheng replied inexplicably.

"What's all the fuss about? Don't you drink with him a lot? "Sheng Lingren still doesn't quite understand.

Sheng replied inexplicably: "The point is that he is with someone who shouldn't be together." ”

"Someone who shouldn't be together? Who this person is. Sheng Lingren obviously hadn't paid enough attention to it, and his speech was a bit careless.

"The fifth line of sword shadows."

Sheng Lingren immediately sat up when he heard this, and he suddenly became a lot more energetic, and asked, "Is it the fifth row of the sword shadow that ranks fifth on the swordsman list?" ”

"That's right, it's this person."

Sheng Lingren finally knew about the relationship between the past and the harm this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "The emperor asked King Xiao to secretly send someone to thoroughly investigate the robbery of the official silver. ”

Sheng inexplicably followed and said: "The child also thinks so, so he came to report to his father." And I've heard that the eldest brother is doing things a little prettyly over there, leaving a lot of tails. In this way, we have to be careful everywhere. I've got someone to keep an eye on the Fifth Row, and whether he's coming at us or not, we'll have to guard against it. ”

Sheng Lingren praised: "Ming'er, you did the right thing in this matter. Now that you've seen the fifth line, how do you feel about this person's martial arts? ”

Sheng replied inexplicably: "According to my estimate, his martial arts should be above me and below my father." If you fight with your father, within fifty moves, you will not be at a disadvantage; Within a hundred moves, you will not lose. ”

Sheng Lingdao: "In this way, this person is a hard hand. At a young age, martial arts have such attainments, and the future will definitely be amazing. Since he is not mortal, then you send someone to follow him, and he will not be discovered soon. ”

Sheng was inexplicable but not worried about this, and replied: "This child has thought of it a long time ago, so the child is not looking for ordinary people." As soon as the fifth line finds a clue, I ask the person to cut it off immediately, so that nothing goes wrong. In addition, let the eldest brother hide first, and don't show up on the rivers and lakes for the time being, especially not in Sichuan, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

Sheng nodded inexplicably with great satisfaction, and then praised: "Ming'er, with you, Daddy is really worry-free." Don't worry! Your eldest brother is in Kunlun Mountain at this time! He will not appear on the rivers and lakes for the time being. ”

Sheng said inexplicably: "This is very good. By the way, is there any movement on Shi Gonggong's side? ”

Sheng Lingren replied: "Gonggong Shi will naturally send someone to thoroughly investigate the Tang Gate first, and if necessary, he will use some extraordinary hands to break it, so that the Tang Gate will not be able to wash it even if it jumps into the Yellow River." ”

Sheng thought for a while, and then said, "I think it's best for Daddy to go to Gonggong Shi again, and let them secretly help us and contain the actions of King Xiao and the fifth line." It's easier for them to shoot than for our own people, and no one will doubt it. ”

Sheng Lingren admired Sheng Mo even more, and said, "It's still a good idea." Okay, I'll go to Gonggong Shi. ”

King Xiao is the royal brother of the current emperor, naturally in a high position, and very trusted by the emperor. His palace itself is also very magnificent and brilliant, which is not comparable to ordinary palaces.

The fifth line came to the palace with King Xiao and was directly brought into King Xiao's study. King Xiao usually likes to read quietly, so his subordinates generally don't dare to break into the study without his permission. It was for the sake of secrecy that King Xiao took the fifth line to the study to discuss matters. Of course, Wu Buxiao and the others were the most trusted people by King Xiao, so they naturally came in.

As soon as King Xiao was about to speak, the fifth line suddenly heard a soft sound on the roof tiles, and the sound was so small that Cheng Shi and Zhong Huan didn't care. Despite this, the fifth line immediately motioned for King Xiao to shut up, and then quietly rushed out of the window.

Xiao Wang and the others didn't know what the fifth line was doing, so they opened the door and came out to take a look, only to see that the fifth line had jumped to the roof and looked around. He looked around, but found nothing, so he jumped to the ground and said, "There seems to be someone on the roof." ”

Cheng Shi was worried and defeated and Huan said: "Impossible, why didn't our brothers find out?" ”

The fifth line didn't want to argue, so he said, "That may be that I heard it wrong, let's go in and continue." ”

After entering the house, King Xiao asked, "I don't know if the fifth young man has heard about the robbery of the disaster relief official silver in Sichuan?" ”

The fifth line said: "I have heard a little." ”

King Xiao said directly: "Don't hide it, I came to the Fifth Young Hero to let the Fifth Young Man secretly investigate this case." ”

The fifth line said: "It's not my specialty to investigate the case, this should be the business of the government, I'm afraid the prince has found the wrong person." ”

Xiao Wang said: "Such a big case must have been committed by people in the rivers and lakes." Although the government will also investigate, I am afraid that it will have little effect. ”

The fifth line immediately understood what King Xiao meant, and asked, "Does the prince want to let Zai secretly go to the various factions in Sichuan to investigate this matter?" ”

Wu Buxiao said: "That's right, that's what the prince meant, I don't know if the fifth young man is willing to go?" ”

King Xiao followed and said: "After the matter is completed, one percent of the official silver will belong to the fifth young man. ”

The fifth line didn't say a word, stood up and left, which made King Xiao a little confused.
