Shen Shiyun's move was to use Chu Menglin as bait in an attempt to lure the snake out of the hole, which was not what Jiang Yanchen expected. It was only because of the theft of the Remnant Sword that the sect leader regarded it as a great shame and kept it a secret, there was no such rumor on the rivers and lakes, and Shen Shiyun naturally did not know about it, so he showed his feet.

This matter can be traced back to the day when Zhen Ying first presented the drawings, when Shen Shiyun pretended not to care on the surface, and when Zhen Ying left, she had turned over the drawings and studied them in private, but she always couldn't guess the mystery. And many seniors in the martial arts received Li Yijie's flying pigeon book, and they have set off to be invited, and Li Yijie immediately went to reminisce.

Shen Shiyun only played his identity as the "leader of the martial arts alliance" as a signboard, but he did not have hope for his eloquence, and thought: "Li Qing's family is loyal and honest, and his views are very easy to be left behind, and he is not suitable for being a lobbyist, and he will have to come forward in person to persuade him to surrender in the future." It is expected that the temperament of the elderly is not as extreme as that of the young people, and it is easy to obey, and by virtue of their status and fame, every time they win over one person, they will have more to rely on.

On the other hand, Hu Wei was sent to reward Deshou gifts, and since then he has lost news, and with Shen Shiyun's connections in the palace, he still can't find any news about him. After the initial anger subsided, she gradually became worried, most of her secrets had been informed to Hu Wei, and every time she had a task to explain, she only needed to give a few simple instructions, and there was a tacit understanding between the master and servant. He didn't feel anything when he was there, and now that he's missing, there's always a lot of inconvenience in finding someone else to do, and it's far from a matter of days to retrain a cronie.

Although Luo Jin is also a confidant, her identity outside is a palace maid, and many plans can only be discussed together, but she cannot be sent to do it, such as going to the Tokyo Mausoleum to track and trace, and she can't explain it to others in detail, so she can't find anyone. A few days later, when he was chatting with Fu Lin, he accidentally learned that Deshou had been killed in his mansion and his face had been brutally stripped off. Fu Lin was indignant when he said this, and said angrily: "I dare to kill someone in front of the Son of Heaven, I simply treat me as if I were nothing! I have issued an order to intensify a thorough investigation, and it is necessary to do it to the ground! Severely punish the murderer and comfort the soul of Deshou in the sky." ”

Shen Shiyun was cautiously probing on the side, asking if there were any clues at the scene, and Fu Lin said: "No, the murderer is very cunning, and he didn't leave any traces of spiders." In addition to Deshou's body, no trace of the second person was found in the house. ”

Shen Shiyun was bittersweet, and said in his heart: "Peeling people's faces, this seems to be something that Hu Wei will do." But why did he want to kill Deshou? Could it be that the old guy temporarily changed his mind and was not satisfied with the amount of the reward, so Hu Wei took it upon himself to kill him for me? And he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he absconded in fear of crime?" But although she was smart and thoughtful, she didn't know about the entanglements between Duoduo and Deshou afterwards, and she didn't suspect him. It's not good to send someone to investigate, in case that person's mouth is not strict enough, and it shows that she is too enthusiastic about this matter, even if it is to please the emperor, it will definitely arouse suspicion. And Hu Wei can't see anyone alive or dead, it's a heart disease in the end, but he is depressed and anxious.

After a few days of such worry, suddenly a strange eunuch came to see him, and as soon as he entered the hall, he begged to retreat, implying that there was a big event. Shen Shiyun waved his hand, and after the subordinates dispersed, the eunuch looked around for a while before he lowered his voice and said: "Thanks to Niangniang and Master Hu's Hongfu, the slave and an officer and soldier brother have recently caught a key criminal, and I don't know how to send it, so I specially asked Niangniang to show it." Shen Shiyun said: "The matter of dealing with the Qin offender should always be handled by the Criminal Department, what does it have to do with the palace?"

The eunuch said mysteriously: "However, that is a repeat offender named by the mother." If you leave it alone, the minions will report to the top. As he spoke, he arched his hand towards the sky. Shen Shiyun muttered to himself: "The important offender appointed by this palace ......" In an instant, he remembered someone, and even his breath became short, and he said hurriedly: "This is a criminal...... Where are we now?"

The eunuch said, "Imprisoned in the firewood room where Master Li lived before. Shen Shiyun quickly stood up and said, "Okay, you take the palace over immediately." There was a slight tremor in his voice. The eunuch said, "Chirp." "When I went out of the hall to inspect and confirm that there was no one in ambush nearby, I turned around and led Shen Shiyun all the way to the firewood room. Gently pushed open the door, only to see a purple-clothed girl kneeling on the ground, her hands tied behind her back with thick ropes, her hair scattered, her face was dirty, and her mouth was stuffed with a hemp ball. The eunuch whispered: "Niangniang, it's her, she is the daughter of the Demon Sect Master." ”

Shen Shiyun felt a strong disappointment in his heart, and only later was relieved, and said in his heart: "I really don't need to use my brains, if Jiang Yanchen is really so useless, he will be easily cleaned up by my group of pus-filled subordinates, how can he be worthy of being the lifelong enemy of this palace?" While laughing at his stupidity, he stared at the girl with his eyes, and said in his heart: "She also has a share in the murder and burning of the village at my house that day, and she is also an enemy who is not in the same world, and she can't catch Jiang Yanchen, so it's good to use her first to make a move." He said to the eunuch, "You go down first, and the palace will ask her a few words alone." When he walked to the door, he said: "You have made a great contribution this time, and this palace will not forget your benefits, and if you want any reward at that time, just mention it." ”

The eunuch said, "Thank you for your grace." He bowed and withdrew, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.

Shen Shiyun began to circle around the girl's side, and said coldly: "Chu Menglin, I can't imagine it, you will also have today! This can't be blamed for not thinking about friendship in this palace, you entered the palace to assassinate me that day, have you ever missed the old love for a while?" took a breath and said: "No, you and I have a long-standing feud, even if you don't take the initiative to trouble me, I won't let you go." I sent it to the door, and I was calling the heart of the palace. He took out a dagger from his sleeve, put it against the girl's throat, and said, "Today, with your blood, I will wash away the grievances of my whole family!"

The girl's eyes were full of sorrow, strings of tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes, her eyes shot out of pleading, her mouth made a "hmm" sound, and her body writhed desperately, as if she had a thousand words to be spoken. Shen Shiyun looked at her like a wretched person, and became even more happy with revenge, and sneered: "Okay, just listen to your last words." The dagger was picked up and the hemp ball in her mouth was removed, and the girl immediately let out a cry of grief and shouted: "I'm not Chu Menglin, let me go! You caught the wrong person!"

Shen Shiyun said disdainfully: "It turns out that you are just a soft bone who is greedy for life and afraid of death." It is not ridiculous to find a decent excuse to beg for mercy, and to make up such ridiculous excuses. ”

The girl cried: "I'm really not the person you're looking for, I've never seen you before, my father's family education is very strict, I usually don't go out of the door, I don't step out of the second door, stay at home and keep to myself, how can I grudge with you for no reason?" Shen Shiyun just sneered, and the girl said: "I'...... My name is Chen Xiangxiang, and I am the daughter of Chen Weishang, the richest man in the city. As long as you send someone to deliver a letter, my father will pay the ransom in full, and I beg you not to hurt me. My family lives in ......."

Shen Shiyun said: "Joke, do you think we are bandits who kidnap tickets and extort tickets? This palace is a dignified concubine, how much silver do you want, and you can take it in the treasury at will, you dare to show off your wealth to me, thinking that I am rare in the little bits and pieces of your family?" But wanting to answer like this, it was as if he really believed that she was the richest daughter, sneered, and changed his words: "Enough, don't talk in front of me." Your appearance, this palace has long been engraved in my mind, and I can recognize it even if it is burned to ashes, how can I be mistaken?"

Chen Xiangxiang cried: "You...... You guys are too domineering, you used to force men to shave their heads, but now you have to interfere with women's appearance?" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he saw hope in the darkness, and he hurriedly said: "By the way, voice! Different people, the voice is always different, can't you distinguish the real from my voice?"

Shen Shiyun secretly screamed ashamed: "I am so vengeful that I have ignored such obvious features!" In fact, she saw that the girl only knew how to cry and cry, and her temperament was completely a small jasper, and she was indeed not very similar to Chu Menglin, so she had hidden suspicions, but she had a good face, and said with a straight face: "Do you think that you are the only one in the world who is smart, and everyone else is a fool? ”

Chen Xiangxiang cried: "This ...... This is not the original appearance of the folk girl, but a young man...... ...... for me The ...... who dressed me up for me was in danger, but when he mentioned his sweetheart, his face was still red and his eyes were shy.

Shen Shiyun said in his heart: "I changed my face for you......?" Hmph, he won't be so boring, could it be that Chu Menglin came up with a bad idea by himself?" asked again: "What kind of young man? looks like you...... Do you look very similar to you now?" Chen Xiangxiang said: "The folk girl has never seen the face behind the makeup, but there was a female companion who was traveling with me at that time, and she said that it was a good ......"

Shen Shiyun took out the bronze mirror he carried with him and held it up in front of her impatiently. Chen Xiangxiang glanced at it, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she shouted, "This ...... I...... I've seen this face!" It was originally very ridiculous to say this kind of thing in the mirror, but Shen Shiyun's face was always cold, without a trace of smile, and asked: "See clearly, is it really him?"

Chen Xiangxiang exclaimed, "No, it's not like him......! He's dressed up for my girlfriend, this face...... It's exactly like her!How can this be? How can this be......" She was still puzzled, but Shen Shiyun had already figured out the joints: "It turns out that Chu Menglin made a large number of doppelgangers in the capital, and she disguised herself as a man, confusing the eyes of officials and evading pursuit, and she played a very good trick. Hearing that Chen Xiangxiang was still muttering to herself, she interrupted coldly: "Let me tell you, your so-called son-in-law deceived you, and she dressed you up just to pretend to be another person, so that you could be a substitute for her." If this palace is expected, there must be many innocent women in the city who have fallen into bad luck. ”

Chen Xiangxiang shouted: "No, the son won't lie to me! He said that he only likes me and will treat me wholeheartedly!" Shen Shiyun sneered: "Okay, this palace will let you see, what kind of thing is the son you have in mind!" took out the folded and square wanted notice from his arms, unfolded it and threw it in front of her, and shouted: "Have you ever studied?

Chen Xiangxiang didn't answer, shrunk back to look, and Shen Shiyun gloated on the side to explain: "Your son is a key criminal in the court, and he was originally a daughter, she not only deceived your love, but also deceived you into giving away her life." If you can get lost at this moment, cooperate with the palace to make a scene, and capture this thief, both sides will have their own convenience, if you are obsessed with it, there will only be a dead end!" Chen Xiangxiang wept and said: "No, I will never betray my son." She was disheartened at the moment, and saying that "believing in Childe" was just trying to maintain her last bit of dignity.

Shen Shiyun saw that she had a resolute attitude, and knew that the idea of hitting her would be frustrated, and said angrily: "Then you just wait for death! This palace will play the emperor on the same day, and first escort you to parade in a prisoner car on the street, it is best to attract the demon sect thieves to throw themselves into the net, then you will be loyal to the country, although you will die a glorious death! Let you go to Huangquan in the name of Chu Menglin, it will not be in vain for you to be full of infatuation!" Chen Xiangxiang said weakly: "But I ...... I'm really not that Chu ...... Miss Chu. Shen Shiyun smiled strangely and said, "From this moment on, you are Chu Menglin." Chen Xiangxiang said: "The people's girl...... The folk girl doesn't understand what you mean. ”
