In fact, Shen Liben was more incompetent and furious, because it was useless to kill Xiong Qitai now. As long as the guard handed over the things to the king of Chu, he would be equally dead, and even Hu Xiang would be implicated......

So after the rage, he still forced himself to calm down and face the reality. As Xiong Qitai said, they are now grasshoppers on a rope, and they can't shake off the pot.

After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Liben asked slowly: "That Chang Sui named Liu Kong said, the day after we mourned, the King of Chu appeared at Liu Senzheng's house?" ”

"Yes." Xiong Qitai nodded.

"Why didn't you report it yesterday?" Shen Liben asked in a deep voice, "Do you have to wait until today?" ”

"He originally came to contact me through his horse experience. Knowing that the King of Chu was coming, he wanted to report it as soon as he could, but Ma Shi was called for questioning and couldn't be contacted. Later, when he heard that Ma Shi was detained by Zeng Tai, he realized that something was wrong, and he didn't care that it would be exposed, so he hurriedly ventured to ask for a meeting and told me who was Zeng Tai's behind-the-scenes boss. ”

"That's ......" Shen Liben twisted his goatee and frowned: "How much does His Royal Highness the King of Chu already know?" ”

"Not a lot." Xiong Qitai said: "Liu Kong said that the King of Chu heard the clue from the superfluous question of Ma Shi, and only then did he guess that Liu was killed in politics. ”

"Which word?" Shen Liben was stunned. I didn't expect that there was something I didn't know.

"Huh? Adults don't know? Xiong Qitai was also stunned, and then said embarrassedly:

"Oh yes, I asked Deputy Envoy Feng to take away the confession of Liu Meng, another long-term follower of Liu Shenzheng. So adults don't know, Ma Cheng once asked him through the wall, 'Liu Meng, Liu Meng, has your master gone back?' ’”

"You can do it." Shen Liben said without any fluctuations: "The King of Chu must have read the file through Zeng Tai, as long as he finds that there is no confession from Liu Meng, he will know that Feng Delun has a problem." ”

"Yes," Xiong Qitai nodded regretfully and said: "I thought that the Qin Cha who came here was an adult, so the work was really rough, who thought that the emperor still hid a hand, and actually sent the King of Chu to Weifu for a private visit." Now it's a shame. ”

"Alas......" Shen Liben didn't have the strength to scold, shook his head and said, "What else did the King of Chu find?" Did you get the hang of it? ”

"The king of Chu should have found out through the investigation that the three officials were the most suspicious, so he ordered Zeng Tai to trap them. Where are they now, tortured and tortured. Xiong Qitai said worriedly: "The other two are okay to say, they don't know much about things." But the horse experience, almost everything is known. ”

"So, the King of Chu has already set his sights on Ling?" Shen Liben said quietly.

"......" Xiong Qitai was not frightened, and hurriedly comforted himself: "Not necessarily, maybe the horse experience can be carried through?" ”

"Do you believe this yourself?" Shen Liben laughed.

"I don't believe it." Xiong Qitai shook his head dejectedly.

"Do you know where the King of Chu is now?" Shen Liben asked in a deep voice.

"Know, he lives at the Tongfu Inn on Toad Street, a room where guests named Tiga are registered." Xiong Qitai nodded.

"Hmm......" Shen Liben nodded slowly, fell into deep thought, and muttered for a long time: "Assuming that the King of Chu can pry open Ma Shi's mouth, no, he will definitely be able to pry it open." ”

Because he remembered the brilliant achievements of the King of Chu in Suzhou, a mere horse experience was not enough for the old six to plug his teeth.

"So, Liu Kong should also be exposed. It is not even ruled out that the king of Chu deliberately let him pass the word so that we would know that he was here and that he was at the Tongfu Inn. The more Shen Liben thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case: "Then let's see what we do." ”

"Makes sense." Xiong Qitai nodded and sighed: "It has to be an adult, Xia Guan didn't expect this layer." ”

"Your brain, forget it." Shen Liben didn't have a good airway.

"Yes, what should we do?" Xiong Qitai asked carelessly: "Do you want to have a quick knife to cut through the mess, and do not do it endlessly?" ”

"Of course not!" Shen Liben scolded angrily: "Do you have no other ideas except bad ideas?" Since the king of Chu is waiting for you to pass, he is fully prepared. Not to mention Zeng Tai, he must have ambushed a secret hand, how could you be unaware? ”

"Yes, Xiaguan also knows that this is extremely risky, but isn't there no way? If that thing falls into the hands of the King of Chu, we are all all full of copied and beheaded, so it is better to strike first and pull a prince on his back. "Xiong Qitai, an outlaw who survived in troubled times, is in a hurry, and there is no one he dare not kill.

"Hasn't that thing fallen into the hands of King Chu yet?" Shen Liben sighed.

"yes." Xiong Qitai smiled, but he didn't care.

"So, it's not yet time for the fish to die," Shen Liben said in a deep voice, "The top priority is to quickly find that guard and find or destroy the things." Whether the king of Chu has that thing in his hand or not, the difference is big. ”

"Yes, the only thing that remains unchanged is the ending of the lower official." Xiong Qitai smiled bitterly.

"That's right, as long as there is a confession from the horse's experience, you and Feng Delun will die." Shen Liben said lightly: "Even if it is Hu Xiang, it can't stop the King of Chu from killing you to take revenge." ”

"But if the King of Chu can't get that thing, anyone other than the two of you will be able to survive." He changed his words again:

"As long as you keep your mouth shut forever, you will not be implicated in this seat, let alone Hu Xiang. We will definitely do our best to keep your family, exile them for a few years at most, and after the king of Chu forgets this stubble, we will release them back to their hometowns and return the property, which is still a rich family. ”

"This guy is weird." Xiong Qitai said bitterly.

"You are also a person who came from troubled times, haven't you learned the law of a strong man's broken wrist?" Shen Liben said coldly.

"Learning is learning." Xiong Qitai sighed: "But when the knife is cut on his neck, it hurts." ”

"It's reasonable to take responsibility for your own trouble." Shen Liben said in a deep voice: "Moreover, you have no choice. ”

"......" Xiong Qitai was stunned for a moment, and Fang said dejectedly: "That's right, there is only this way." ”

"Go back, get a good night's sleep tonight, start digging three feet into the ground tomorrow, and find that person too!" Shen Liben was word-by-word, weighing more than a thousand pounds.

"Okay." Xiong Qitai nodded and asked, "What about the Tongfu Inn?" ”

"Just send someone to keep an eye on it." Shen Liben replied: "The king of Chu wants to lure you into the bait, then you can't be fooled." Once you make a move, he can transfer troops to end Jiangxi officialdom with his backhand, and no one can say anything about him. ”

"It's ......" Xiong Qitai still didn't understand Shen Liben's temper after all, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the two princes actually had a rogue temperament.

"Let's hang him there first, and concentrate on finding people and things." Shen Liben let out a long sigh.

"Understood." Xiong Qitai nodded with difficulty, did not salute, and turned around and walked out.

Shen Liben looked at his depressed back, like a dog, and didn't care about him anymore.

When he walked to the door, Xiong Qitai suddenly stopped and said, "My lord, there is actually something I haven't told you. ”

"And?" Shen Liben moaned weakly.

"All these years, no matter what I do, I have always carried your banner." Xiong Qitai said with a smile: "Therefore, the people below always give double gifts." ”

"Then why haven't you received it?" Shen Liben was dumbfounded.

"Hehe......" Xiong Qitai smiled smugly and walked into the darkness, leaving only Shen Liben messy in the wind.
