Dingguo Gongfu.
Xie Shu went to see the frantic Xie Xian.
Master Xie was packing his belongings in the house, looking so panicked and frightened, as if the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was about to be exterminated by the Ni family.
Xie Shu was standing at the door. When the servants in the second room saw him, they felt as if they had found their backbone.
"Young Master."
Xie Shu nodded and signaled his servants to leave first.
Xie Xian was in a state of panic and did not even hear the servants' voices. He stuck his butt out and crawled under the bed with his upper body, trying hard to push forward and try to get out the private money he had hidden under the bed.
Xie Shu watched quietly, and only spoke after Xie Xian came out panting and holding the private money box, "Uncle."
"Wow!" Xie Xian was startled and fell on his butt. When he saw that it was Xie Shu, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Xiao Shu, you almost scared me to death!" Xie Xian kept patting his chest. As soon as he finished speaking, he stared nervously behind Xie Shu.
"So... who is missing?"
Xie Shu didn't answer, but stared at him coldly: "Uncle, you are so eager to leave home, have you done something wrong again?"
"What can I do to be guilty? Xiaoshu, you investigate cases in the Dali Temple every day, how can you just wrongly accuse someone?"
Master Xie had a hurt look on his face as he met Xie Shu's eyes that seemed to see through everything. He swallowed his saliva, climbed up guiltily, rushed to the door first, looked left and right to confirm that Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu were really together, and then closed the door tightly.
He turned around and ran to Xie Shu again, saying anxiously:
"Xiao Shu, you have to save me, your uncle! Xiao Chenyan...that bad boy Xiao Chenyan wants to kill me!"
Xie Shu stared at him for a while: "If King Yan wanted to kill you, he would have killed you long ago. It's because your uncle is guilty that you think he has always wanted to harm you."
"I feel guilty? Why should I feel guilty? It's not like I did anything so unjust!" Xie Xian's face flushed with excitement: "I have always told the truth, but you guys don't believe me!"
"Ask yourself, uncle. Is the Xiao Chenyan you know someone who would do such a cruel thing as killing his father, mother and children?"
Grandpa Xie's lips twitched, his face showing indignation: "What can't he do? As his uncle, I have been beaten enough by him, haven't I?"
"Other nephews were beaten by their uncles when they grew up, but I was beaten by my nephew when I grew old. That kid has been disrespectful to his elders since he was young!"
"It's fine if he hit me, but how could he treat his mother and my sister like that!"
Grandpa Xie started to cry again as he spoke, and collapsed to the ground, crying: "That's my sister, an elder sister is like a mother, and I haven't had a good day in this family since she got married, wuwuwu..."
Xie Shu listened to him howling, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
"The court has already made a conclusion about the former crown prince. It has nothing to do with King Yan. King Yan is not only your nephew, but also the emperor's grandson. Do you know what crime your uncle is committing by slandering the emperor's grandson?"
"Are you interrogating me? Xie Shu! I'm your uncle! Are you going to take me to the Dali Temple?!" Xie Xian was also angry. It was bad enough that Xiao Chenyan bullied him, but Xiao Shu also learned bad things from him!
He is losing more and more status in this family!
Xie Shu suddenly stood up, and Xie Xian's back, which had just straightened up, suddenly became limp again, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"If you can't control your tongue anymore, I don't mind sending you to the Dali Temple to learn how to control your mouth."
Xie Shu lowered his eyes and stared at him: "Maybe he really should have killed you. No, I should say that I should have killed you a long time ago."
Xie Xian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and looked at him in disbelief.
People say no! People say no!
Could such cold words come out of the mouth of a living person?
"The slanderous words of others may not hurt him at all, but as his relatives, the words uttered by us are the cruelest knife that stabs him."
"Someone wants to push Xiao Chenyan into a place of no return."
Xie Shu lowered his eyes and looked coldly.
He should have understood what kind of people his best friends and brothers who grew up with him were.
Xiao Chenyan would not harm his brothers, nor would he harm his relatives.
No matter if he saw Xiao Chenyan wanting to attack Yun Zheng that year.
Or maybe what Xie Xian saw was that Xiao Chenyan setting fire in the East Palace seemed like a deliberate "performance".
Even if we take a step back, for a man as meticulous as Xiao Chenyan, how could he reveal his true identity if he really wanted to kill someone?
It was exposed in front of them, why didn't they kill him to silence him?
On the contrary, it allowed him and Xie Xian to live happily ever after.
Their existence is like two so-called witnesses who have witnessed Xiao Chenyan's "true face", and are eyewitnesses of Xiao Chenyan's "cruelty, bloodthirstiness, meanness and ruthlessness".
But is this really the case?
Xie Shu should have thought of it earlier. The funny thing is, so what if he has a very smart mind? So what if he claims to be a genius in solving cases!
For ten whole years, he became the thorn that pierced Xiao Chenyan's heart, but he was completely unaware of it!
How vicious the person behind the scenes is!
The other party wants to kill Xiao Chenyan!
He and Xie Xian were both foolish enough to become 'accomplices'!
Master Xie was silent. He was frightened by Xie Shu at the moment. He knew all the rumors about his nephew in the Dali Temple. Those noble ladies thought he was so handsome that he was a god.
But in the Dali Temple, he was known as the Jade-faced Yama, and the way he treated prisoners was so cruel that even some cruel officials felt their scalps tingling.
Xie Xian is an old playboy. Even though he dares to act cowardly and fierce in front of Xiao Chenyan, he actually knows clearly in his heart that Xiao Chenyan does not want to kill him.
This is also the reason why he is fearless.
But just now he really felt that Xie Shu wanted to kill him!
Woohoo! His eldest nephew really wanted to kill him! For Xiao Chenyan!!
"From today on, if you can't control your mouth, I will sew it up for you myself."
Xie Shu lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Xian quietly.
"What did you see ten years ago?"
Grandpa Xie shook his head and trembled: "I, I didn't see anything. I took too much oxalic acid powder that day. I was crazy and hallucinating..."
Xie Shu nodded, bent down and helped Xie Xian up, his tone returned to a gentle tone:
"The stone powder is harmful to your health. From now on, you should stay in the yard and recuperate. Don't go out again."
Xie Xian stiffened his neck and nodded.
"My nephew will have some scriptures brought in. From now on, you can study hard in the yard and cultivate your mind. You can abandon those toys."
Xie Shu didn't even look at him again and was about to leave when Xie Xian suddenly spoke.
"Xiao, Xiao Shu..."
Xie Xian looked pitiful, raised a finger, and begged: "Can you please keep the cricket? It's too expensive to buy. It cost me ten taels of gold..."
Xie Shu: “…”
After a while, Xie Shu came out of the house, and his personal guards came over with his family generals. Xie Shu said calmly:
"Teach him the rules. If he dares to disobey, make him lie in bed for half a year. If he doesn't behave for half a year, he will stay in bed forever."
"If father asks, just say it was my idea."
The family generals looked at each other, thinking that the old master might be "blessed" this time. He had done something terrible to make the eldest master so angry.
After dealing with Xie Xian's affairs, Xie Shu asked his servants to prepare the carriage, and he was going to the Dali Temple.
The mistake was made in the past, and now that he understood it, he couldn't just stand aside and pretend it had nothing to do with him.
All the past events flashed before my eyes.
It was the childhood of him and Xiao Chenyan. The young grandson of the emperor was dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vigor. He rode towards him and stretched out his hand to him:
——A Shu, A Zheng is having a martial arts test today, let’s go and cheer him on!
——Ah Shu, today I left the palace in plain clothes and saw how hard life is for the people. The people of Dayong are having a hard time...
——A Shu, I hope that there will be no more famine and war in Dayong, I hope that there will be no more corrupt officials in the court, and I want to see the world peaceful and prosperous...
——Ashu, can we do it?
Xie Shu walked out step by step, with his eyes lowered and the corners of his eyes red.
In his memory, there were three young men walking side by side. Then the scene changed and it was Xiao Chenyan and Yun Zheng riding in front, and he was riding slowly behind.
The three of them drank and sang, determined to bring eternal peace to the world.
At the end of the memory, he questioned Xiao Chenyan why he wanted to harm Yun Zheng.
It was Xiao Chenyan's stunned and disappointed look...
But not long after, the tragic news that Yun Zheng died in battle in the northern border and his body was nowhere to be found spread...
It was the back of Xiao Chenyan who was given the character "Yan", wearing shackles and handcuffs, walking barefoot on the ground, kneeling every ten steps, and walking north from the capital...
Xie Shu clenched his fists, his heart seemed to be cracking.
He was eager to do something.
He has to do something too!
But what else can he do for Xiao Chenyan? !
As his mind raced, he heard the anxious voices of his subordinates: "Young Master! Lord Shaoqing! He's out!"
Thank you for the favor and look at the person who spoke: "What happened?"
The visitor was an official from the Dali Temple, and he was in a hurry to find Xie Shulu.
"The Hu people's royal court sent an envoy to present a letter to our dynasty, intending to make peace. But this is not the most important thing, they also sent a petition!"
"The petition contains the truth about the battle of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion in the northern border ten years ago. The Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion did not commit treason. It was the Hu people who colluded with the current crown prince to frame them!"
"The Hu envoy also said..." The subordinate swallowed his saliva, "He also said that the young princess of the Zhenguo Marquis is not dead, and has been held hostage in the Hu royal court!"
Xie Shu suddenly raised his head.
