The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 163

[Chapter 161]

“What?” Shen Yu grabbed the quilt suddenly, “When were you rescued?”

“Today.” Shang Junlin eased his expression and sat on the bed.

“Today…” Shen Yu pondered, “Will today’s assassination have something to do with King Yue being rescued?” Shen

Yu’s suspicion is not unreasonable, there are many forces with motives, but there are only a few who will rescue King Yue at the same time. .

“Perhaps, Fang Jun didn’t know if he asked anything.” Shang Junlin closed the quilt to Shen Yu.

“King Yue has been imprisoned for a day or two. Apart from the He family, is there anyone else trying to save people?” Shen Yu was very concerned about King Yue, although his development in this life was very different from his previous life because of his intervention. But until the last moment, no one knows how the story will eventually go.

Shang Junlin shook his head: “No, after the failure of the prison robbery, I once thought they had given up their minds.” The

imperial examination fraud case ended, and the officials involved were punished. instead of sending him to execution like other officials.

The next morning, Shang Junlin summoned the prime ministers and other ministers to discuss matters.

They all knew a little about the King of Yue, and now that they learned that the man was rescued, their hearts sank.

“Is there a result from Master Fang’s question?” the Prime Minister asked.

First assassination, then prison robbery, the timing couldn’t be more coincidental, no one thought it was an accident.

“Those people’s mouths are difficult to pry open. The purpose of the minister to judge these people is Your Majesty. More, they refuse to say.” Master Fang sighed.

Most of the people who can be arranged to carry out this kind of assassination are dead soldiers, and it is even more difficult to ask what to say from the dead soldiers.

“What about the person caught in the mountains yesterday? Did you explain anything?” Shang Junlin asked.

“The man couldn’t stand the punishment, and he gave out a lot of information. He came here with Mrs. Xu. He was Mrs. Xu’s servant. He was ordered by Mrs. Xu to spread the news with Hanzhou. A few days ago, Mrs. Xu I ordered him to give a letter to someone from Hanzhou, and I went to receive the letter yesterday.” Fang Jun explained the results of the trial one by one.

“Judging from the results of the minister’s trial, there is no necessary connection between him and the assassin.”

“A lady of an official who just came to the capital from other places should not have anything to do with the assassin, but…” The prime minister paused. Expressing his doubts, “Some time ago, His Majesty sent officials to Hanzhou because of the daughter of the Xu family. At this time, she communicated with Hanzhou, why?”

“What was written in the letter?” Tap lightly or hard on the desktop.

“That person didn’t know the content of the letter. He didn’t find the contact person, so he was caught wandering around as a suspicious person. The minister has already asked people to find the contact person based on his description.” Fang Jun replied.

“Fang Qing is very relieved to do things.”

When Shen Yu woke up, Shang Junlin was not there, and Mu Xi heard the movement and came in to wait. After going out, Shen Yu found that the palace people were packing things.

“Your Majesty ordered to return to the palace early.” Mu Xi explained.

Two major events happened successively, which Shen Yu could understand.

The ministers also got the news and began to pack up.

“I didn’t encounter this in the previous autumn hunting. I don’t know if there are assassins hiding in the dark?”

“Your Majesty has already sent someone to search. Last night was safe and sound, and it should be fine.”

“I hope it can be determined soon. Let’s go back soon.”

No one wants to stay where there might be assassins.

Shang Junlin gave him three days, and if he still found nothing, the official in charge of the matter can come to see him.

Compared with before, this is already very open. Mr. An, who was responsible for checking the safety hazards of Qiyue Mountain in advance, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and personally took people into the mountain for investigation, and did not dare to delay for a moment.

The atmosphere in the camp was condensed.

The people who were retrieved the previous day were unknown. So, after learning what happened, they all broke out in a cold sweat. Assassination is a common occurrence for Shang Junlin, but for many aristocratic families who are not deeply involved in the world. For the children, this is the first time.

When something like this happened, the hunting couldn’t go on any longer. Everyone gathered together, and when they were nervous, they could only find something to ease their emotions.

The well-connected ladies and ladies gathered together to talk, and the young master had nothing to do, so he made up his mind about the prey.

A few days ago, they came back from hunting a lot of prey, enough for them to eat for more than ten days. The elders at home were busy with business, and they couldn’t help, so they had to get together in twos and threes, set up a fire, and bake the food by themselves.

Shang Junlin has been very busy these days, and Shen Yu occasionally goes to discuss matters with him.

Fang Jun’s methods are extraordinary, and two days later, he really let him ask something from those people.

“According to those people, the purpose of their trip was just to assassinate them, and the order given to them by the people above was that even if they didn’t succeed, they would make a big mess. The more messy the better.”

“It was also said that they were divided into Two groups, one group went up the mountain, the other group stayed in the capital, they didn’t know what to do, they waited for several days, and finally they waited for a good time to do it.”

When is it, no need to say Fang Jun, everyone knows .

“They don’t have an internal response?” The Prime Minister asked the question sharply.

“Yes,” Fang Jun said with a serious expression, “I should have gone up the mountain together as a servant of a certain minister’s family, and will report to them the movements on the mountain every day, mainly the movements of Your Majesty and your noble lord.

” His every move has attracted widespread attention, and he will not deliberately conceal his whereabouts when hunting, and it is not difficult to find out where he went.

“To find that person, I would like to know whether his master knows what he did.” Shang Jun said coldly.

Whether the officials who brought people in knew it or not, it was impossible to completely stay out of it.

An hour later, Shang Junlin finished his official business and saw Shen Yu outside.

“What are you doing?” Shang Junlin walked over and asked.

“Who the hell is trying to rescue King Yue?” Shen Yu looked back.

There was still a dazed look in his eyes.

Shen Yu only told Shang Junlin part of the truth. What he really thought was about the past life. At this time in the previous life, he went to the fief with King Yue, but King Yue himself did not stay there. I was ill, lived in a daze, and knew very little about the outside world. Looking back now, I can’t even find any useful information.

There were even fewer descriptions of this period in that book. One stroke covered Shen Qingran’s ordeal in the palace, and the rest only had unimportant words.

“Fang Jun asked for some information.” Shang Junlin told Shen Yu the news.

“Two groups of people, the one who stayed in the capital was to take the opportunity to rob the King of Yue, right?” Shen Yu pulled back his thoughts.

“I also think so, this assassination was actually very carefully arranged, at least before the incident, no one noticed, the only thing they underestimated is that I have long been familiar with all kinds of assassinations, even if the Yinlongwei is left on the bright side. Elsewhere, there is a way to notify them immediately.”

On the third day of the deadline, Master An finally found a way for the assassin to not alert the guards to enter the mountain, barely saving his own life.

Under Fang Jun’s investigation, the person who secretly delivered the news to the assassin was also found out. Coincidentally, he was also a servant by Mr. Xu’s side.

When Mr. Xu was brought before the emperor, he was completely stunned, not knowing how he became an assassin accomplice.

“Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged! I really don’t know what this is all about!” Master Xu pressed his forehead to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

“Then tell me, did this servant follow you up the mountain?” Fang Jun asked, standing aside.

Mr. Xu turned his head and glanced at the servant who was kneeling next to him: “It’s true that the minister brought it, but the minister really doesn’t know what he did! I ask Your Majesty to learn from him!

” frowned.

the other side.

Since Mrs. Xu was called away, Mrs. Xu began to feel restless. She kept pacing back and forth in the tent, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The person she sent to receive the letter didn’t come back. She didn’t dare to go outside to inquire about such a big incident. She could only wait for the news. After a few days, she no longer had any luck. , I just hope that the correspondence with the family is not discovered.

After King Yue was rescued, he was in disbelief for a long time. He thought he would stay in a dark prison for the rest of his life, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would see the sun again.

He stood blankly in the yard, feeling the sunlight falling on him, and still had a sense of trance.

Did he really come out?

Isn’t it his fantasy?

He once had such a dream. In the dream, he returned to the fief, raised his arms and shouted loudly, and returned to the capital with soldiers who believed in him, returning all the pain he suffered to Shang Junlin.

Then woke up.

He was still in a dark, damp prison with nothing.

Under the huge gap between reality and dreams, he just wanted to indulge in dreams and didn’t want to wake up.

Was being rescued this time just a dream he had?

“His Royal Highness, pack up, we have to leave.” A middle-aged man came over.

“Oh, good,” the King of Yue seemed to come back to his senses, “Where are we going?” “We have

to escape the pursuit of the imperial court first. My people have caused some trouble for the emperor. We have to hurry up and wait. Hanzhou, it is safe.”

“Why Hanzhou?”

“There are people there to answer.”

If it weren’t for the blood of the King of Yue and the orders left by that person, why would they have to go to the capital to save people ?

So many people go in.

Thinking of the dead man who was sent out to assassinate the emperor, the man felt a pain in his heart, but he had finally cultivated a man who had lost most of it in this operation.

The dazed King Yue didn’t notice that the respect of those who rescued him was only superficial.

They rushed all the way in the direction of Hanzhou.

After confirming that there were no other assassins on Qiyue Mountain, Shang Junlin ordered to return to the palace.

Shen Yu was still riding with Shang Junlin. There was no minister to say anything this time, and they were not in the mood to worry about it anymore. The number of guards accompanying him was half that of when he left.

Shen Yu leaned over and rubbed Shang Junlin’s wrinkled brows: “Your Majesty is still thinking about King Yue?”

“I immediately sent Yinlongwei to investigate, but I didn’t find any trace of them, where did these people come from? Come here, I have no clue at all.” This group of people hid in the dark and caught out through Feng Pingqi, and it was only one of the forces.

“After being locked in the dark prison for so long, even if he leaves, King Yue will not be able to make any waves. Those people have been silent before, so I think they have given up.” Shen Yu said in a slow voice.

“King Yue is just a name. What they care about is never King Yue, but the identity of his representative.” Shang Junlin knew this better than anyone else.
