[Chapter 454 Chapter 453 Go to the palace to file a complaint! ]
Xiaoyi's words made everyone in the room look at each other in surprise.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but complain in her heart and decided to go back and have a good talk with Cheng Liyan. How could he have corrupted her good son?
Looking at his innocent look, he spoke as if it were true.
But everyone knows that this guy is playing dumb.
Not only was he pretending to be stupid, he had even thought of what to say to the Emperor on behalf of his third uncle.
Prime Minister Shen was also speechless after listening to this.
I just feel that my little grandson is really smart.
If you stick some hair on you can turn into a monkey.
He coughed twice and said to Xiaoyi, "Let's talk properly. There is no outsider in this room."
"oh."
Xiao Yi chuckled and then continued, "Yesterday I went to the outer courtyard and quickly found the hiding person according to the method my father taught me.
That person probably thought I was a kid and didn't take me seriously, so he hid very carelessly. I could see him on the tree from a long distance away.
After seeing him, I didn’t go back to my own yard, but went to your study first. I stayed in the study for a while, and then took out a box. ”
At this point, Xiao Yi explained to Prime Minister Shen: "Grandpa, I didn't touch the things in your study, I just took away the ink box you put on the desk.
The main thing is that the box is just the right size. I can see clearly even when I hide in a tree with it, and it’s not too big to affect me when I go in and out.”
Prime Minister Shen knew the box that Xiaoyi was talking about. It contained two new pieces of ancient inkstone that he had acquired.
Hearing the boy say this, he waved his hand and said, "Here you go, keep it for use."
Xiaoyi was immediately happy when he suddenly got a treasure.
He said without any hesitation: "Okay, thank you grandpa!"
"Okay, keep going." Seeing the boy's smug look, Shen Yuyao urged.
"I took the box out, and the man saw it.
He followed me to my yard.
He probably wanted to wait until I fell asleep so that he could come into the house to see what was going on, so he took the opportunity when I went into the house to hide in the tree facing my bedroom.
So I asked Fuquan to wear my clothes and sit under the window, and I quietly went out with the slingshot.
When the man wasn't paying attention, I knocked him down from the tree in one fell swoop."
"You hurt that guy? Do you want to live?" Shen Yuyao asked.
Others may not know, but she knows how powerful the slingshot at home is.
The slingshot was a military supply issued to Cheng Liyan when he was in the special forces. It was specially made for them.
The materials used are ultra-light metal and special rubber, which are simply not available on the market.
The slingshot made of this material is light to the touch, has a long range and strong lethality.
Cheng Liyan once told her that although this slingshot could not hit the target from a hundred paces away, it was still enough to shoot through a tree as thick as a bowl within fifty meters using the matching steel balls.
Its lethality is even stronger than some small-caliber weapons.
After all, the person who came was sent by the emperor. It was okay to give a warning, but Shen Yuyao felt that it was unnecessary to hurt him too badly.
"My shoulder blade is broken. I'll need to rest for a while. My life will not be lost." Xiaoyi answered honestly.
When the old lady heard Xiaoyi say that he used a slingshot to break the shoulder blade of the person sent by the emperor in one blow, she took a breath.
She looked at her grandson who looked very happy, with a complicated expression.
"Should I ask someone to call the third child back?" the old lady asked her husband for his opinion.
"Go ahead, ask him to come back. I have something to say to him."
…
The emperor only found out this morning that the spy he sent to the Shen family had been discovered and injured.
When the emperor heard that the victim was injured by the goddess' son, a child who was just ten years old, he was silent for a while.
Because he had no ill will towards the Shen family and did not want to cause a conflict, the spies he sent over could not be said to be the most skilled in martial arts.
But even so, someone who is remembered by the emperor should not be unable to beat a ten-year-old child!
What's more, according to what the man said, he was injured by the slingshot held by the child when he was hiding in the tree, and there was no conflict between the two at all.
slingshot?
Something for shooting birds?
Such a thing could actually hurt his secret guards!
The emperor became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and felt that this matter was handled so cowardly!
Let him have no way to vent his anger!
Just when the emperor suffered a loss and had no place to vent his anger, the eunuch came in and reported that the third son of the Shen family, Shen Junlin, was outside asking to see him.
After hearing this, the emperor's temples began to throb.
I just felt more angry.
What are you here for?
Is the army coming to call for punishment?
It was clearly their own people who suffered the loss, so why would that family be so unforgiving?
Even though he had concerns about the Shen family, the emperor still felt unhappy.
"Let him in." The emperor said gloomily while sitting in the imperial study.
As soon as Shen Junlin entered the imperial study, he felt the pressure from the emperor.
He knew the emperor was angry without even looking up.
But at this time, he could only pretend that he knew nothing. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and said bluntly that there was a thief in his house and asked the emperor to take charge of their family.
Shen Junlin said: "If Xiaoyi hadn't stayed in the mansion yesterday, no one in our family would have known that there was an outsider in the house!
The thief had been hiding outside my father's study. I didn't know how long he had been hiding there or what his purpose was.
Your Majesty, you know that my father has devoted his whole life to the public and has no selfish motives. It is precisely because of this that he must have offended many people over the years.
Your Majesty, you must help me find this villain! We must ask in person who sent him.
My father just got sick, and you can't help but take action?"
After hearing this, the emperor felt a little embarrassed.
Only then did he realize that the Shen family did not realize that the spy was sent by him.
Otherwise there would be no point in asking him to make the decision.
His expression was still dignified, but his words were slightly softened.
He said: "It may not be aimed at Prime Minister Shen, maybe it's just an ordinary thief?"
Shen Junlin still looked indignant, but the topic began to change as the emperor asked.
He said angrily: "If it is an ordinary thief, we should be more vigilant! My Shen Mansion also has guards, and it is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please. That person was able to avoid the guards of the Shen Mansion and come and go freely, so we must be on guard!"
Shen Junlin talked a lot with the emperor again. In the end, he just hoped that the emperor would help the Shen family investigate the matter thoroughly.
As for why they didn't report the case themselves, Shen Junlin also had an excuse.
Because Xiaoyi is the son of the goddess, it is not easy for him to show up casually because of his identity, for fear of being talked about.
If any bad words come out again, it will be detrimental to the country.
With Shen Junlin's words, the emperor completely let go of the grudge in his heart.
At this moment, he was really sure that the reason why the Shen family came to the palace to seek his help was because this matter involved the son of the goddess.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Prime Minister Shen was truly a pillar of the country!
Even though he was seriously ill and had not yet recovered, his first reaction when encountering problems was still to stand on the side of the court and truly share the country's worries.
Shen Junlin was about to thank the emperor and leave after he finished speaking, but the emperor stopped him.
The emperor said, "You just said that the young master of the goddess's family used a slingshot to repel the thieves? What kind of slingshot was it? Did you bring it into the palace? I want to see it too."
