Chapter 543 See if he can live
"No, I took the initiative to marry him."
"You took the initiative to marry?"
"Yes, and he didn't look like this originally. He was poisoned. So, you can't tell others about his appearance in the future. Try to act normal in front of him, and don't say anything about grievance to me anymore. Do you understand?"
Fu Zhaoning listened to what Xiaoqin meant. It seemed like she was going to say how wronged and miserable it was for her to marry Xiao Lanyuan, and that she would be very scared facing Xiao Lanyuan every day. So he quickly emphasized it to Xiaoqin again in a serious manner.
"Yes, I understand."
How could Xiao Qin dare to do that?
And the young lady didn't feel scared after listening to her description, which was amazing. The young lady is indeed worthy of being a young lady, and she couldn't do it if she were in her place.
When they arrived at the front yard, Shen Xuan saw that she was the only one coming and showed an understanding expression.
"Send Prince Jun's dinner over." He said to the servant.
"yes."
Fu Zhaoning sat down opposite Shen Xuan, "Uncle, have you guessed that he wouldn't come to eat?"
This is obviously prepared.
"I can see that." Shen Xuan personally served her soup, "Let's eat first."
Talking about Xiao Lanyuan's affairs now would affect his appetite.
"Uncle, why aren't you surprised at my disguise?"
Fu Zhaoning thought Shen Xuan would not recognize her.
"Maybe it's because you are so capable and can do everything. You have surprised me so many times, so I'm a little used to it now?" Shen Xuan said.
Fu Zhaoning laughed.
"Then you can recognize it?"
"You walk the same way as before, don't you? And Xiaoqin is right next to you, so I know it's you. But if we meet you outside, it will be hard to recognize you."
"If I were outside, I would also pay attention to the sound and walking posture."
"Then it's even harder to recognize."
When the two had almost finished eating, they heard hurried footsteps and noise outside, and it sounded like there were a lot of people around.
"The soldiers are coming." Shen Xuan said.
"Uncle, what about you?"
Shen Xuan didn't disguise himself at all.
At this moment, Shen Xuan took a human skin mask and put it on his face.
Fu Zhaoning widened his eyes. This was something he was prepared for.
"I can't use this for long before my face starts to itch, so I can only put it on at the last minute. You don't have to make any noise later, just pretend to be mute."
The officers and soldiers should have surrounded the entire house first, and then the rest of the people went in to search.
"Everyone, don't move. Stay where you are! We are conducting a search under order. Do not resist!"
A group of soldiers rushed in.
Shen Xuan stood up and walked over. It turned out to be an old man who looked very scared.
"Sir, sir, who are you searching for? Please don't destroy our house."
The officer looked at him carefully, "Are you Song Baoshan?"
"Yes, yes, sir, our family has been law-abiding and has not committed any crime in the past two years."
Shen Xuan's voice sounded like an old man, and he couldn't even stand with his back straight, and his shoulders were hunched. His posture was different, and he looked completely different.
Fu Zhaoning was a little stunned.
No wonder Shen Xuan reacted so calmly when he saw her just now, it turns out that he is also a “good actor”!
There is no trace of Shen Xuan at all.
Moreover, the officer even asked him if he was Song Baoshan. Could it be that the character he played still had a sense of presence?
"I haven't heard much about you guys committing any more crimes. After being fined so much silver last time, you finally behaved yourself, right?"
The officer actually started chatting with Shen Xuan.
"Isn't it? I'm so heartbroken!" Shen Xuan sighed with a sad face.
The soldier laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "I just want to make you feel bad! Otherwise, how much trouble have you been in over the years? Every now and then, neighbors would fight and throw dirty water at each other! They would also go out on the street to block people from time to time. The old women in your family used to curse so badly that the merchants from Zhaoguo thought that the people in our imperial capital were tough!"
hiss!
Fu Zhaoning was even more shocked.
There are these things?
"Yes, yes, those maids are just doing rough housework now. Sir, do you want to search for them? Then call them all out so that you can see if there is anyone you don't recognize."
After Shen Xuan finished speaking, he shouted to his servants.
"Come here, call out those old women, and everyone else, come here and let the official have a good look—"
Seeing his posture, the officers and soldiers actually retreated a little.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to experience the power of your servants again. We are just following your orders to search. Don't move. We just need to take a look."
"No, sir, search carefully, or those who don't like our family will come and throw dirty water on us again--"
"Don't make trouble when you get a little noise. We adults are afraid of you." The soldier was shocked. This family is a bunch of troublemakers. They are reckless and will throw tantrums without any care. Their ability to cause trouble is terrible.
The situation outside is tense now because of the assassination of the eldest princess. These troublemakers must not cause trouble again. If something really happens, they will all be in trouble.
So, these officers and soldiers just casually opened the door and looked around, and then retreated with a whoosh.
When Liuhuo and the others came to report that everyone had completely retreated to other people's homes to search, Shen Xuan took off his mask.
Then he sat down at the table again and said to Fu Zhaoning, "Come on, eat a few more bites."
Fu Zhaoning was simply amazed.
"Uncle, who is Song Baoshan?"
"Song Baoshan is the owner of this house," Shen Xuan smiled. "The real one is a loyal servant of the Shen family. I settled his family here ten years ago and made a plan for him to pretend to be someone and do something."
"When I wanted to enter the imperial capital, he left the city to avoid me, and this identity was handed over to me."
"Then the character he played before——"
"Personality?" Shen Xuan reacted. "Oh, he is a troublemaker who is fearless and very good at making trouble. That is why the government is troubled because he is willing to spend money on the soldiers and treat them to meals and drinks."
It was amazing that the disguised person dared to invite the officers and soldiers to dinner and drinks openly.
There's really no one else like him.
"What about the neighbors who joined in the trouble?"
"There is one family that is one of ours, and they are pretending to be one of ours, but the others are really not like that."
"Great." Fu Zhaoning gave Shen Xuan a thumbs up, "Uncle had prepared for this ten years ago."
"The emperor has been wanting to deal with the Shen family for a long time. If I hadn't been poisoned and couldn't hold on, he wouldn't be sitting still in peace now." Shen Xuan said arrogantly.
If he hadn't been in poor health later on, he would have caused a lot of trouble for Emperor Da He.
Fu Zhaoning felt more at ease knowing that Shen Xuan was so prepared.
"Zhao Ning, there aren't many rooms here. See if Prince Jun can get used to living here."
