Chapter 130 Assassination

Wei Ruyan shrank back and had to retreat to the side with Chunyun.

"Miss, let's go back." Chunyun whispered, "If the master finds out, Miss will be punished again."

"Wait a little longer." Wei Ruyan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.

A few days ago, she told Mrs. Wei about her marriage with Shen Shilang, and Mrs. Wei went to discuss it with Wei Zhaoxian.

Wei Zhaoxian actually disagreed.

Wei Ruyan didn’t understand. Didn’t Wei Zhaoxian like Shen Shilang the most?

Why didn't Wei Zhaoxian agree to such a close relationship? Moreover, Wei Zhaoxian's reason was that Shen Shilang didn't like her at all.

There was no way he could use the past kindness to make Shen Shilang marry her.

Shen... How could Shen Shilang not like her!

Wei Zhaoxian underestimated her!

Shen Shilang and the fifth prince came to the porridge stall. No one knew they would come today.

The fifth prince also acted on impulse and did not tell the emperor in advance.

It's a good opportunity to come and see if the porridge given to the victims is cut corners.

Shen Shilang was watching when suddenly the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came from the crowd queuing in front.

Before Shen Shilang had time to see clearly what was happening, he immediately pulled the Fifth Prince behind him to protect him.

"Protect His Highness!" Shen Shilang said to the guards, then raised his hand to block.

But in order to protect the fifth prince first, Shen Shilang was a step slower and his arm was scratched by the sword.

Shen Shilang kicked the other person out and was about to chase him, but found that he was surrounded by four people who appeared out of nowhere.

The fifth prince was protected by the guards, and the commander said, "Escort His Highness back to the city first!"

"If the other party is determined, the journey back to the city may not be safe." The Fifth Prince faced such a scene for the first time, and his voice was trembling with nervousness, but he still tried to stay calm, "It's better for me to be here, and Lord Shen is here. If there is any problem, Lord Shen can respond in time."

"Leave three of you here to protect me, and the rest of you can split into two groups. One group will go to support Lord Shen, and the other group will protect the victims to prevent them from being affected and injured."

"Are... three people missing?" the guard leader hesitated.

"Don't delay, go quickly!" said the fifth prince anxiously.

"Yes!" To be cautious, the commander stayed behind with two other guards to carefully protect the fifth prince.

As for the rest, half went to support Shen Shilang, and the other half went to evacuate the people.

The three people who were left to protect the fifth prince looked around carefully.

However, it seemed that all the opponents were targeting Shen Shilang, and no one came to attack the Fifth Prince for the time being.

With the support of the guards, the pressure on Shen Shilang was much reduced.

In a short while, all those people were knocked to the ground.

"Catch them all, keep them alive, and interrogate them thoroughly!" Shen Shilang said in a deep voice.

These people were not dead soldiers. They looked terrified when they lay on the ground, but they did not have the courage to commit suicide.

The guards tied up all five of them.

These five people did not expect that Shen Shilang's martial arts skills were so powerful.

Originally, sending out five people was already a sure thing.

Could it be that five people couldn't defeat Shen Shilang? Unexpectedly, they really couldn't defeat him! Even before the guards came to support them, the five of them found that they couldn't defeat Shen Shilang for a while, and they were even showing signs of decline.

They knew that even if the guards did not come, they would not be able to hurt Shen Shilang again.

The sword just now was just borrowing the momentum of Shen Shilang to protect the fifth prince.

However, without the support of guards, they might not be able to escape.

Now that the guards have arrived and surrounded them, they really can't escape.

Su Jinshi could only watch with his phone in hand, but he could not help at all.

The wound on Shen Shilang's left arm caused by the sword was bleeding continuously.

The blood had dyed the black clothes on his left arm red and black.

"Master Shen!" Wei Ruyan took the opportunity to run over and show concern, "How is your injury? If you don't mind, you can go to the Wei Mansion to recuperate."

"..." Shen Shilang turned around and looked at Wei Ruyan as if she was a lunatic.

Why do I have to go to Wei Mansion to recuperate?

It’s not like the inn they live in can’t support themselves.

Shen Shilang was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned around and asked the Fifth Prince, "Is Your Highness frightened?"

The Fifth Prince straightened his back and refused to admit that he was a little scared at first. "No, I am fine, Master. Don't worry."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Then let's go back to the inn first." Shen Shilang said, "The five people still need to be questioned."

"Hurry up and send someone to clean up the porridge stall. After it's ready, continue distributing porridge." Shen Shilang said, leaving a guard behind. "Arrange someone to check on the victims to see if anyone is injured."

"yes."

Shen Shilang and the fifth prince took the rest of the people back to the city.

"Lord Shen." Wei Ruyan wanted to follow again, but just as she took a step, she was stopped by the guards.

The guard didn't say a word, and Shen Shilang and the Fifth Prince acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued walking without even stopping.

Fortunately, the carriage was parked at the city gate. Shen Shilang and the fifth prince got on the carriage and soon arrived at the inn.

On the way, the fifth prince had already sent someone to find a doctor.

When we arrived at the inn, the doctor also arrived.

The doctor checked it and fortunately it was just a skin injury.

I left medicine for healing the wound and also a prescription. If you develop a fever at night due to the sword wound, you can boil the medicine according to this prescription.

Just in case, the Fifth Prince asked someone to bring the medicine back first.

It’s best if you don’t need it, but if you really need it, there is no need to knock on the door of the clinic at night.

The servant cleaned Shen Shilang's wound, applied medicine to him, and bandaged it.

Shen Shilang was about to deal with the assassination but was stopped by the Fifth Prince.

"Sir, you are injured. You should rest for a while. Those people should take good care of you. There is no need to rush." ​​The fifth prince advised, "The doctor also said that you should rest well."

Shen Shilang shook his head, "If we delay, something bad may happen."

"Sir, do you have any guesses?" asked the fifth prince.

"The forces behind those shops dared to ignore the disaster and hoard goods at a high price. They were not afraid of the court investigating them. They felt that they were in a high position and had nothing to fear." Shen Shilang said, "They must have been used to being rampant in normal times. They suffered such a big loss this time. With their arrogant mentality, how could they easily swallow it?"

"During these quiet days, I guessed that they must be trying to get it back somewhere. Maybe in the court, or maybe they framed me secretly." Shen Shilang shook his head and smiled, "But I didn't expect their method to be so simple and direct."

"Don't they have brains? Aren't they afraid that these people will be caught and betrayed?" the fifth prince said angrily.

"Of course I'm not afraid." Shen Shilang said, "I think even if I knew it was them who did it, I wouldn't dare to arrest them. I can only pretend that nothing happened."

Shen Shilang looked at the Fifth Prince, "This is the arrogance of power."

"So, they are too lazy to use their brains and energy to take revenge in a roundabout way, so it is better to use the most direct way." Shen Shilang said.
