Volume 1, The Imperial Capital, Chapter 13, Blame
Chapter 13: Blame
People sometimes have to face things they don't want to face.
The person Shen Yizhen once admired the most may now be Shen Qiuhan's enemy. Shen Qiuhan has always believed in the state religion, which is his spiritual pillar, he has not been lost by hatred for so many years, and a lot of credit comes from the state religion he believes in.
The texts of the state religion and the countless stories about the popes of the past have become the spiritual pillars of his insistence on his nature.
It's just that he quickly figured it out...
When he asked himself, what would he do if it was really the Pope.
Kill.
Whoever it is, as long as it is his enemy, he should kill them, and avenging them is what he, the surviving man, should do for the one who died for him.
"Only these four people?"
"Needless to say, Dong Zhuo has always known that he is your enemy, but this Li Guohui deserves your special attention. ”
"Who is Li Guohui?"
"After your father, the Great General of the Empire. The reason why you pay attention to him is because, after that incident, it was this Li Guohui who benefited the most. Moreover, he used to be a lieutenant general under your father, and was later promoted by your father to become a general, and then entered the military department as a foreign officer for two years, and was later promoted to Menxia Province as a waiter. It didn't take long for something to happen to your family, and he led the forbidden army to your house. ”
"Only the prime minister of Menxia Province has the ability to mobilize the forbidden army, but the prime minister at that time was not the current Dong Zhuo, but Shangguanxing. The Shangguan family and my Shen family have always been good friends....."
"So after the accident in your family, the Shangguan family is not much better, isn't the dismissal of Shangguan Xin and Shangguan Xing not long after your family was wiped out, it can only be said that the Shangguan family is deeply rooted, although it has withdrawn from the center, it is still stable in the upper echelons of the empire. ”
Shen Qiuhan seemed to remember some impressions about Li Guohui. He understands the reason why the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and he can also understand it when he takes advantage of the situation, but betrayal is the person Shen Qiuhan looks down on the most.
"Eat inside and out, ungrateful. ”
"In short, this is the news that Monk Xiao wants me to bring to you, you can figure it out for yourself! Also, the relationship between the Ministry of Rites and Dong Zhuo is not good, two years ago, when Dong Zhuo was on the birthday of the Ministry of Rites, he got drunk and humiliated the Ministry of Rites. ”
After saying that, the shadow in the darkness never made a sound again, but Shen Qiuhan knew that he hadn't left yet, and it seemed that he wasn't going to be the microphone for him and Xiao He.
Standing in the alley for a while, Shen Qiuhan figured out something.
Dong Zhuo didn't do it directly, he was the squire of Menxia Province at the time, maybe he did it, pretended to pass on the order of the official line, and transferred the forbidden army beyond the level. And what is known so far is that there are three people who were directly involved in the case of his family's extermination, among which Feng Bo is dead, and there is Liu Yuchan, the pavilion master of Zen Jade Pavilion, one of the Bafang Wind and Rain Pavilions.
According to Shen Qiuhan's understanding, Liu Yuchan was just a small person in the Zen Jade Pavilion back then, and the current general Li Guohui was just a small person back then.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiuhan smiled bitterly, it seems that the Shen family did block the wealth of many people back then.
These people may seek wealth or power, and there is nothing wrong with them, but what is the state religion? The struggle for power in the court has nothing to do with the state religion, why would Feng Bo, who was already one of the three emperors, want to destroy his Shen family at the cost of his life.
Just when Shen Qiuhan was troubled by many problems, there was a rush of footsteps outside the alley.
One after another, they ran towards the direction of Wenyue Inn.
Shen Qiuhan had a premonition that something was about to happen. Without thinking too much, Shen Qiuhan followed this group of catchers to the back alley of Wenyue Inn, where the terrain is narrow and long, dozens of meters before and after, with high walls on both sides, Wenyue Inn on one side and a mansion on the other.
Shen Qiuhan saw the insect lying on the ground, and he was still holding the golden pyramid tightly in his hand.
There were two pools of blood next to the bug's corpse, one of which was particularly conspicuous.
"With such a large amount of blood loss, it is estimated that he is dead. ”
"Who, the courage is too big, he dares to kill the son of Prime Minister Dong. ”
...........
There were more and more onlookers, but as the number of people who came to catch them increased, many people here were detained and interrogated one by one.
Everyone had to go through a strict inspection before leaving, and those who were slightly restless were arrested and quickly pressed away.
After Shen Qiuhan saw the corpse of the insect, he had already left without any stop. Shen Qiuhan was not stupid, it was obvious that this was aimed at him.
When he returned to the mansion of the prince of the kingdom, it was already a little late, and in order to bypass the interrogation at various intersections, Shen Qiuhan took a long detour before finally returning to the palace.
"Brother Qiu Han, you're finally back, I'm almost worried to death. It could be seen that Qin Yu was very anxious.
"What's the matter? ”
Qin Yu was a little surprised, quickly closed the doors and windows of Shen Qiuhan's room, and said softly, "You don't know?"
"What? What do I know?"
"Did you go to the Wenyue Inn today?"
"That's right, where have I been drinking tea these days!"
"You had an argument with Dong Zhuo's son?"
"Yes. ”
"Dong Zhuo's son is dead. ”
Shen Qiuhan said with an indifferent face: "Oh, you mean this! I heard about it, what does it matter to me? I didn't kill the person!"
"Why is it none of your business?I believe that you didn't kill it, but Dong Zhuo will believe it?" Qin Yu became more anxious the more he spoke.
"I'm afraid of him, I'm afraid he won't come to me. Hearing the word Dong Zhuo, Shen Qiuhan's eyes turned red, which was a sign of his anger, and Qin Yu knew it very well.
Qin Yu knew Shen Qiuhan very well, and looking at his appearance, she knew that his mind was very unclear at this time, and she was very worried about what reckless things he would do.
"I think we should leave the imperial capital first, in case Dong Zhuo mobilizes the forbidden army in a hurry, no matter how strong you are, you can kill ten, a hundred, is it possible that you can still shake thousands of troops with the power of one person?"
After Shen Qiuhan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, when he opened his eyes again, he became the calm and calm Shen Qiuhan again.
"Haha, I know, but if he, Dong Zhuo, can really mobilize the forbidden army to encircle and suppress me because of such a trivial matter, it will really be as I wish. Even if he is the prime minister of the province, he will be questioned for dispatching the forbidden army for no reason, because of the transfer of the forbidden army for private matters, with his habit of making enemies everywhere in the court, it is estimated that there is no need to add oil and vinegar, and the king will give an order to behead all over the house. ”
Shen Qiuhan saw that Qin Yu was still so nervous, and chuckled: "Okay, how come you have become so impatient when you arrived in the imperial capital, this is not like you before!"
Qin Yu shook his robe angrily, and said slightly angrily: "It's not because I'm worried about you. ”
"What is there to worry about, I should have died ten years ago, in this imperial capital. Now that I have lived for ten more years, I have already made a lot of money, whether I succeed or lose, even if I kill someone, I will also earn it. ”
Qin Yu sighed, staring at Shen Qiuhan's handsome face with sorrowful eyes, with light in his eyes, thinking in his heart: "Their cheap lives, even if they are thousands, is it worth your life?"
Shen Qiuhan saw tears in his eyes, so he was afraid that the tears would fall, so he hurriedly pushed him out, and said as he walked: "Okay, okay, it'll be fine, the prince of the kingdom should come to me later, you go back to the room first." ”
That night, Wang Guogong did not come to Shen Qiuhan.
The next morning, before dawn, Wang Guogong had already put on his court clothes and stood at the door. Shen Qiuhan got up early and happened to bump into Wang Guogong who was about to go out.
"Good morning Wang Guogong!" Shen Qiuhan hugged his fists and saluted.
"Today's court meeting, civil and military officials will be present. ”
Shen Qiuhan saw what Wang Weiguo wanted to say, he stood there quietly waiting, he was also curious about what he would say.
Last night, the night light in Wang Guogong's courtyard was lit until dawn, and no less than ten people entered and exited his room overnight, and Wang Guogong didn't have time to sleep last night.
"Hey!" Wang Weiguo sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Today, Dong Zhuo will definitely take the matter of his son's death to the court to appeal for grievances, I think someone will come to you before I come back, and Shen Gongzi please find a way to delay me back." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Weiguo got into the carriage.
Shen Qiuhan stared at the back of the carriage, and saw the wheels of the carriage crushing on the bluestone slab again and again, and felt warm in his heart.
No matter what his purpose was, Wang Weiguo's words just now were enough to show his determination to protect him. This is very rare for a person like Wang Weiguo who will never stand in line easily, in the face of other people's kindness, Shen Qiuhan will always give his best thoughts, and will rarely speculate maliciously.
After Wang Weiguo's carriage and horse turned around the alley, the corners of Shen Qiuhan's mouth rose slightly, and he said softly: "Thank you." ”
Shen Qiuhan is obviously not a person who waits for the result, since someone has made the first move, then he will not let these people mess around.
It is obvious that Dong Yaohui's death is someone who wants to blame him, and there are at least three possibilities.
First, Shen Qiuhan's enemies wanted to use Dong Zhuo to quickly solve Shen Qiuhan; second, Dong Zhuo's old rival just wanted to use Shen Qiuhan to accomplish some ulterior motives; third, Dong Zhuo staged a good show himself, sacrificing an inconsequential subordinate, and using the means of the imperial court to get rid of Shen Qiuhan in the name of this.
Because Dong Yaohui is uncertain whether he is dead or alive, the absence of his corpse is the biggest suspicion, but, judging from the scene that Shen Qiuhan saw, there was no too fierce fight, but Shen Qiuhan was sure that the dead insect definitely stabbed the opponent with a dagger before he died.
What's more, those people not only killed the insects and kidnapped Dong Yaohui, but also sneaked into the inn and killed the injured four guards without bothering. Killing four guards unnoticedly in an inn with such a dense flow of people is definitely not easy.
Shen Qiuhan knew very well that if he waited for the imperial court to investigate, then he would inevitably be imprisoned in a cell, and at that time, no matter what faction these people were, they would definitely have the means to kill him quietly, as long as he died, what did the rest of the matter have to do with him?
Catching it with his hands tied has never been what Shen Qiuhan should do.
Shen Qiuhan, who was walking in the yard, laughed self-deprecatingly. I'm really underestimated!
When he returned to his room, there was an unsigned letter on his tea table.
After observing the layout of the room, he determined that the man had infiltrated the short time between his own exit and return, put down the letter, and left.
After discovering that someone had been secretly following him last time, Shen Qiuhan had set up a very complicated formation around his and Qin Yu's room, and it was impossible for this person to enter and exit his room in such a short period of time without destroying the formation. Unless the person is very familiar with the formation.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Qiuhan's mouth, it seems that he can let these people know today that Shen Qiuhan is not a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager who knows nothing. In their eyes, Shen Qiuhan should be a demon who has returned from hell to seduce his soul and ask for his life.
