Chapter 241 Pei Yuan will pay the price sooner or later, you big fool Pei Yuan.
Wanqiu said, "This servant secretly found many old people in the Eastern Palace who have served in the palace for more than ten or twenty years."
No matter how much they inquired, no one could explain what exactly happened the day Master Luo entered the palace.
It was only said that the Sixth Prince was nearly injured, which enraged His Majesty, who ordered Lord Luo to be beaten to death.
Luo Heng frowned.
“My father has always been a cautious man, especially since he is a merchant. He doesn’t dare to speak loudly when he enters the palace. How could he have harmed the Sixth Prince?”
Wanqiu shook her head, "I only heard that the Sixth Prince was being mischievous and went out to play. He may have run into Master Luo and some conflict may have occurred."
Many things have happened in the palace over the years, and there are hardly any elderly people left, so no one can really say for sure what exactly happened.
Luo Heng's expression was icy, and he slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
"No matter what happened, it's certain that my father's death is inextricably linked to the Sixth Prince."
It's hateful that the assassins I arranged in Changsha and on the way back to the capital failed to kill him. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.
Pei Yuan, I'll make you pay the price sooner or later.
Wanqiu shook her head, "The Sixth Prince's martial arts are too high. Ordinary martial arts masters can't even get close to him."
In my opinion, it's a good choice for you to get close to Lord Shen, since the Sixth Prince and Shen Chu are very close.
If we can use Shen Chu to deliver a fatal blow, the young master's revenge will be just around the corner.
Luo Heng frowned. "Shen Chu and I are sworn brothers after all. He has treated me with utmost sincerity, I..."
Wanqiu glanced at his expression and said softly:
"Young master, you've taken pity on me? Have you forgotten the suffering you endured as a child? Rejected by your clan, subjected to endless cold stares, starving and cold, anyone could trample on you..."
Bang.
Luo Heng slammed his fist heavily on the table with a cold face. "Stop talking."
Wanqiu paused slightly.
Luo Heng took a deep breath. "You should go back first. I'll think about this matter carefully."
------
Pei Yuan returned to the Sixth Prince's residence and searched through the study.
Jinbao asked curiously, "What are you looking for, Your Highness?"
“I remember buying a house in Juxianfang a few years ago, where is the land title?”
Jinbao quickly opened the box containing the land deeds and found the one Pei Yuan wanted.
Pei Yuan carefully examined the address on the deed, then looked at the map of Juxianfang again before handing the land deed to Jinbao.
"Go, take it to the brokerage firm and sell it. Don't ask for too high a price."
Jinbao's eyes darted around, and he immediately realized what was going on.
"This servant remembers that the feng shui of this house is excellent. It is a three-courtyard house with a spacious and open layout, which is very suitable for Lord Shen to live in."
Pei Yuan smirked and kicked Jinbao.
"You're quite clever."
Sun Yan looked puzzled. "Why didn't Your Highness just give it to Lord Shen directly? Why go through all this trouble?"
Before Jinbao could answer, Sun Yan suddenly widened his eyes.
"Oh, I see. Is Your Highness afraid of being rejected by Lord Shen? I heard that Lord Shen didn't accept the house that Young Master Luo offered today."
Pei Yuan looked over with a cold gaze.
"You dare to compare me, a prince, to Luo Heng?"
Jin Bao rolled his eyes at Sun Yan.
"You're just too straightforward, you deserve to be scolded. Do you think our Prince is as brainless as Young Master Luo?"
Sun Yan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
"When Your Highness encountered Lord Shen's matter, your brain seemed to be practically useless, didn't it?"
Ever since his prince met Lord Shen, he's done so many things without thinking.
I heard that last night he crawled around pretending to be a ghost to scare people.
And today they even asked him to make a fake head, specifically requesting that it be made of different materials.
A skull, a head made of human skin mask material, and a head stained with blood.
Tsk.
Listen to this request! What normal person would make such a bizarre request?
Sun Yan was internally ranting when he heard Pei Yuan ask in a sinister tone, "What are you muttering about?"
His expression hardened. "It's nothing, I was just wondering why Your Highness isn't continuing to send more houses."
Pei Yuan snorted coldly.
"You've finished taking the kills?"
Jinbao hurriedly pulled Sun Yan out and said irritably, "Does a house look like something you can just give away?"
Lord Shen is now a fifth-rank official whom His Majesty has just promoted. His Highness directly gifted him a house. What will the court officials think?
Is it said that Lord Shen and His Highness are forming a clique for personal gain? Or is it that His Highness is secretly trying to win over Lord Shen?
Isn't this just handing the censors ammunition against us?
Sun Yan said, "In that case, let Lord Shen go and buy it himself. It's not like he doesn't have the money."
Jinbao stomped his feet in anger.
"You blunt, reckless fool, how can the things that Lord Shen bought be the same as the things that His Highness painstakingly helped him buy?"
Besides, you know that although this house is in Juxianfang, it actually backs onto Shiyongfang.
It's right next to the back wall of our Sixth Prince's residence, practically separated by only one wall. If Lord Shen were to live next door in the future, wouldn't our Highness have the advantage of being so close?
Sun Yan looked like he was slow to realize what was happening.
"Ah? So that's what Your Highness was planning?"
Jinbao rolled his eyes.
"I don't know if Your Highness is thinking this way, but I do know that with your straightforwardness, you'll probably never get married in your life."
Sun Yan looked up at the sky, feeling utterly melancholy.
How far in the future will his wife be?
No, my wife isn't important. What's important is delivering the head to Lord Shen.
When Shen Chu received the three very different dummy heads presented by Sun Yan, she paused for a moment, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sun Yan said, "His Highness said that tonight someone will be sent to perform a real tearful display for the Marquis."
I burst into tears.
Shen Chu couldn't help but imagine the scene in her mind.
The headless corpse clutched its head and sobbed, carefully wiping its head as it cried, before presenting it to Marquis Changning.
"Do you think the head still has any sensation after it's separated from the body?"
Marquis Changning was so frightened he wet himself.
Shen Chu felt incredibly pleased at the first thought and nodded seriously.
"Yes, from now on, we'll use skulls on the first and fifteenth of the month, human skin heads on odd-numbered days, and bloodstained heads on even-numbered days."
Sun Yan...
In short, absolutely brilliant.
Lord Shen and His Highness are a perfect match.
Just after Sun Yan left, Shen Chu received a letter from the official broker.
According to the broker, a new house has been built in a good location with a quiet environment; it's a three-courtyard house.
Chen Chu was tempted and, after getting ready, went with the broker to look at the house.
When they arrived, the house looked like the garden of a high-ranking official. It was a three-courtyard house with an ingenious design, a beautiful view at every turn, and winding paths leading to secluded spots.
Turning out of the main gate, she discovered that this place was only one street away from her senior brother's residence.
It couldn't be more convenient.
Shen Chu was very interested and asked the broker, "How much is this house worth?"
The broker smiled and said, "One thousand taels."
Shen Chu gasped, "The capital is a place where land is incredibly valuable, and such a nice house is only worth a thousand taels? What kind of fool would sell a house like that?"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the big fool Pei Yuan appeared at the street corner, having heard every single word.
