Chapter 97 The Envoy of Beiming Nation Arrives
Shen Chengyu was also like this. He was a little annoyed. Why did they scold him as well?
"Father, arresting someone requires evidence. You can't just arrest him for no reason, right?" Shen Qingtang sighed.
"Besides, the imperial examination is about to start. If you arrest the chief examiner at this critical moment, won't everything else go wrong?"
"Instead of making people panic, it's better to lure out the spy after the imperial examination is over."
Shen Tianming nodded slightly. Shen Qingtang's words made sense.
Shen Qingtang continued, "The means by which spies manipulate the exams is nothing more than letting their own people replace other people's excellent papers."
"I met a very talented candidate on the Lantern Festival. Poor students like him with no background are exactly the targets of others."
"Of course, there may be others besides him." "
But for a crime as serious as beheading, the spies will definitely not dare to act on a large scale. It is estimated that there are only one, or at most two." "
Then we can use the exam papers to follow the clues and catch the spies who replaced other people's papers, killing two birds with one stone."
"If you go to catch Li Shiyang now, not only will it alarm the snakes and make other spies hide deeper, but it will also not cause any substantial harm to Li Shiyang. After all, you have no evidence."
"I'm afraid you'll end up with a bad reputation for arresting people without reason and being unreasonable."
Shen Tianming: !!!
Is it so serious?
Forget it, he should not get involved blindly and let Shen Qingtang handle the matter.
According to her method, perhaps more spies can be caught.
"Qingtang, you are right, it is the father who is too impatient."
Shen Tianming's eyes were full of admiration. Shen Qingtang is worthy of being his biological daughter. She is so thoughtful!
Shen Chengyu looked at Shen Qingtang in surprise. It turned out that she had thought so far ahead.
No wonder Shen Qingtang has always looked down on him.
Now that they are involved in this matter together with Shen Qingtang, Shen Tianming and Shen Chengyu have witnessed the strength of Shen Qingtang's calculations.
Shen Tianming was panicking. If things continued like this, how could he be a match for Shen Qingtang?
If Qingtang wanted to plot against him, wouldn't it be easy for her to catch her?
Shen Tianming was secretly alert. He could give Shen Qingtang gifts, but he would never give her the throne.
After all the spies were eliminated, he would immediately take back the power from Shen Qingtang.
"Qingtang, you should take care of this matter. Father believes in your ability."
After coming out of the Golden Palace, Shen Qingtang brought Shen Chengyu to an empty corner.
She handed Shen Chengyu a note, the contents of which were similar to the previous ones, except that this time they were not asked to go to Lingcui Mountain to ransom the person, but to another place, and the ransom was increased from 50,000 high-grade spirit stones to 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there was an important message added in it, that no one else could be sent there, only Li Shiyang could go alone to ransom the person.
"Second brother, three days later is the time when the envoys of Beiming Kingdom will enter the imperial city, and the people in the Li Mansion will be distracted by them."
"You throw this note to them like last time."
"Okay." Shen Chengyu took the note and nodded, "This time you are still deceiving them, right?"
"Yes." Shen Qingtang glanced at him, "It's still some progress."
[It is to let Li Shiyang see the news about Li Ziyi, but he can't find Li Ziyi. 】
【Make him crazy inside and become irritable and restless, so that he won't focus all his attention on Wen Xuyan. 】
【Although Li Shiyang will attack Wen Xuyan after the exam, the plot has changed a little now. What if he attacks Wen Xuyan in advance? 】
Shen Chengyu was very happy to receive Shen Qingtang's praise.
After a moment, he suddenly realized, why was he so happy?
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
This time Shen Chengyu planned to go to the Li Mansion to observe carefully to see if anyone was waiting for him. He didn't want to be beaten again!
After explaining the matter, Shen Qingtang walked out from the corner and happened to meet Lu Jiuan who was walking towards the Golden Palace.
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Fourth Princess." Lu Jiuan stopped and bowed to her.
Lu Jiuan didn't expect that he would be so lucky today and could even meet the Fourth Princess.
Shen Qingtang:...
[Damn, I thought of that hairpin again.]
Lu Jiuan:? ? ?
What hairpin? Is it the one he gave you before?
What's wrong? Is there any problem?
"General Lu, what a coincidence." She raised her eyes and smiled at Lu Jiuan, "Are you going to the Golden Palace to find my father?"
"Yes." Lu Jiuan nodded.
"Since you have something to deal with, then you should go quickly. I'll leave first." Shen Qingtang turned and left after saying that.
Lu Jiuan looked at Shen Qingtang's back with a puzzled look on his face. Why did he feel that the Fourth Princess' attitude towards him was a little strange?
Seeing Shen Chengyu also coming out, Lu Jiuan realized that the Fourth Princess and the Second Prince were discussing something together
. "Your humble servant pays homage to the Second Prince."
Shen Chengyu said "hmm" and left. Lu
Jiuan continued to go to the Golden Throne Hall. He walked into the hall and found that there was no maid or guard inside, only the Emperor.
"Your humble servant pays homage to the Emperor."
Shen Qingtang was so good to Lu Jiuan. In Shen Tianming's heart, Lu Jiuan was definitely a trustworthy and loyal minister.
Seeing Lu Jiuan coming, Shen Tianming talked to him directly about business and briefly explained to him what Shen Qingtang had to do during this period of time.
Just now, Shen Tianming heard Shen Chengyu say that he was beaten up, and he felt that Shen Chengyu could not be the only one to assist Shen Qingtang in this matter. He was a little worried.
Lu Jiuan was a reliable person, and he had been with Shen Qingtang for so long, so it was easier for him to cooperate with him.
"Lu Jiuan, Qingtang is expected to transfer some troops from you during this period of time. You must fully cooperate with the Fourth Princess. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help the Fourth Princess!"
Lu Jiuan only realized now that Shen Qingtang had already started dealing with this matter since the New Year.
In Lu Jiuan's opinion, the Second Prince's ability to do things is not strong, and this matter must have been mostly done by the Fourth Princess.
He hated himself for knowing it too late and not helping the Fourth Princess earlier.
Lu Jiuan hoped that he could fight side by side with Shen Qingtang.
Three days later.
When the prince and envoys of Beiming Kingdom walked into the imperial city, Shen Chengyu hurried to the street outside the Li Mansion. He dressed up and mixed into the crowded crowd. No one could recognize his identity.
While the guard was distracted, he moved quickly and used his spiritual power to throw the note at the guard.
The guard was startled.
Why is it another note? !
