Chapter 61 I'll Ignore You
"Then... I will punish you so that you won't feel sad. If you dare to do it again, I will ignore you."
Shen Zhejiang's tone was neither light nor heavy.
After saying this, he belatedly realized that there were other people present, and his ears couldn't help but turn red.
But Xiao Zhinian was frank and open. Hearing him say that, he actually burst out laughing and kissed Shen Zhejiang's head: "As you command."
Han Weiwei felt that her staying here was really an eyesore, so she left without waiting for Xiao Zhinian to say anything.
Wang Xiuyi and Wang Chengming still had important things to do, so they pulled Yang Shihui and retreated together. Wang Chengming also drove away the guards for the two people behind the screen and retreated to a farther place to guard.
Now that the sweet words are said, it’s time to get down to business.
Shen Zhejiang said: “I should have guessed that the master Yang Shihui mentioned, the man in black, was most likely the King Shen of that year.”
Xiao Jing, the seventh son of the late Emperor Tai Huang, was granted land and made a king at the age of twenty. He was the most unrestrained prince.
"It's hard to say. I've looked into the treason case back then..."
This case involved Shen Zhejiang's father. Xiao Zhinian was afraid of affecting Shen Zhejiang's emotions, so he hesitated.
Shen Zhejiang lowered his eyes and said, "I know, you want to say that when the Shen family was executed, King Shen was also sentenced to death."
Xiao Zhinian knew that Shen Zhejiang would be sad when he mentioned this matter, so he gently stroked his shoulder: "Well, so it's not too late to catch him first."
Indeed, it is a bit too early to draw a conclusion now.
Shen Zhejiang opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Nian, what do you think of King Shen as a person?"
"As far as I can remember, I haven't had many encounters with this uncle, but I have met him a few times. In my opinion, he is considered a playboy."
"Why?"
Xiao Zhinian said, "When I was with the Royal Grandmother, I always heard her scold him for being uneducated and pursuing affairs of pleasure all day long, but he didn't care at all. Even after being scolded, he still did what he wanted, which pissed off the Royal Grandmother half to death."
Xiao Zhinian vaguely remembered that the harshest scolding was when the Empress Dowager arranged a marriage for Uncle Shen.
The marriage was arranged with the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice. Not only did Uncle Shen disobey the order, he even ran to the mansion and ridiculed the unfortunate eldest daughter from head to toe. As a result, he was beaten and scolded. The Emperor's grandfather was so angry that he directly made him a king and sent him to a fiefdom to fend for himself.
Live life as it comes.
Is such a person really willing to confine himself to the small world of the imperial palace?
Xiao Zhinian couldn't think of the reason.
Shen Zhejiang couldn't think of it either, and said, "I met King Shen when I was young. He was a talented man, but he had no interest in a career in politics. If that's the case, why did he do such treasonous things now?"
Xiao Zhinian shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either, and lowered his head to kiss the corner of Shen Zhejiang's eyes: "Sir, you have to take care of yourself during this period of time. Leave these things to me, sir, don't worry about it anymore."
Shen Zhejiang wanted to say something else, thought about it hesitantly, bit his lower lip, and then smiled at Xiao Zhinian and said, "Okay."
Although he said so, Shen Zhejiang couldn't stop for a moment.
There are many mysteries.
The more chaotic it was, the more he wanted to sort it out.
First of all, is the man in black King Shen?
If so, how did King Shen escape the death penalty that year? It was too long ago, and there is no way to verify the whereabouts of Chen Zhejiang.
So if not, then who is the man in black? Did he plan all this for the sake of his vast territory?
Specifically, these are all Shen Zhejiang's speculations, and a conclusion can only be drawn after the man in black is arrested.
Second, Shen Zhejiang thought of his father. In the past, he always stood on the side of the Shen family and thought from the perspective of a descendant of the Shen family. Being in the middle of a situation, it was easy for him to be blinded.
After Yang Shihui's rebellion, he became more and more confused and could not help but wonder what on earth was the reason that made these ministers who had once served the court loyally willing to risk their lives to support their so-called master.
If it was for fame, fortune and official positions, Shen Zhejiang thought, his father was the chief minister at the time and already had these worldly possessions, so why take the risk?
no.
Soon, Shen Zhejiang recalled what Yang Shihui said in prison -
"The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest. This is the correct way to call it. Xiao Zhinian, that seat should not belong to you in the first place. Now it should be returned to its original owner."
What's the meaning?
It is an indisputable fact that Xiao Zhinian is the only blood relative of the late emperor and the late empress.
So what exactly did Yang Shihui mean by these words? Was it an excuse for his master to seize power and usurp the throne and deceive the people of the world?
Since ancient times, rebels have always fabricated a seemingly reasonable excuse for themselves to deceive themselves and the world.
-
"Ah, who is this? So scary! Stop looking at it, walk away quickly, or you'll have nightmares at night if you look at it too much."
"Look carefully, that's the dog official Yang Shihui! Hahaha, he has come to this day, it's karma! He deserves it!"
"It's really him! I'm going to throw him to death!"
A wave of noisy voices like waves came from the crowd gathered under the city wall and reached the ears of Yang Shihui, who was in a daze and almost dying.
He lowered his head and looked down, and found a group of chattering people gathered at his feet.
Under your feet?
Yang Shihui was stunned for a moment, his face was panicked, with a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, making strange grunting sounds.
The suspended body suddenly fell down with his flapping movements.
As he fell to the ground, he was rushed over by a group of indignant people and beaten and kicked. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied with thick hemp ropes, so he could not move at all and could only let others beat him.
A pile of rotten vegetables were thrown at him in a mess, making him look messy. A stone fell from somewhere and hit Yang Shihui's forehead, making it bleed.
At this moment, the thick hemp rope tightened and pulled Yang Shihui into the air again, floating like a withered yellow leaf, lifeless.
"How was it? Was it fun?"
Wang Chengming appeared on the city wall and looked at the crumbling Yang Shihui with pride, almost laughing out loud.
Yang Shihui could do nothing, his eyes staring at him.
Wang Chengming clapped his hands and said, "This is the last bit of use you have left. Just bear with it."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, my sister searched your mansion and found nothing except a sissy prostitute. I would like to ask you, where did you spend all the money you embezzled over the years?"
When Yang Shihui heard this, he glared at Wang Chengming with some sarcasm and disdain in his eyes, as if he was provoking Wang Chengming.
Wang Chengming grabbed his neck with great force and shouted, "What's that look?!"
Yang Shihui naturally couldn't answer him. He couldn't breathe, his old face turned red, and his legs were twitching like a fish's tail.
“Ha!” Wang Chengming shook his hand away and snorted, “If you dare to do anything stupid, I’ll kill you right now!”
As soon as the words fell.
“BOOM—BOOM—!!”
Suddenly, the earth shook!
