After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 678

He knew about it, but pretended not to know, he didn't seek Xiao Changyan to expose it, and he didn't seek Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong to fight back, even Xiao Changqing must have noticed the open and secret struggle between them and Xiao Changyan, but he devoted himself to it. In terms of disaster relief, it seems that they deliberately avoided the affairs between them and wanted to be alone.

"He is not our enemy, so why can't I capture his people to study and study?" Xiao Huayong felt that this was not contradictory, he was purely curious, and wanted to ponder Xiao Changqing's hole card, wouldn't it work?
"Where are you like this?" Shen Xihe glanced at him.

Xiao Huayong has never been a person who likes to cause trouble, let alone a person who can't sit still, since he won't be an enemy, why bother to provoke?Shen Xihe didn't believe the reason he gave.

"I don't like things in this world that are beyond my control." His dark and bright eyes seemed to be condensed with silver, and he was very serious.

If you are not an enemy now, you may not be an enemy in the future. As long as there is an existence, as long as there is a threat, no matter whether it is an enemy or not, you must see people through so that you can respond to all changes without change.

Shen Xihe nodded: "You are right to worry."

"The matter here is almost over, I'll go back to Wendeng County to wait for you first, you come back earlier, and when the danger of the flood is lifted, we will return to the capital earlier." Xiao Huayong reluctantly smoothed her long hair.

"Well, be more careful." Shen Xihe nodded.

After taking a deep look at Shen Xihe, Xiao Huayong disappeared behind the screen sideways, and quickly left the room, coming and going without a sound, Shen Xihe resumed the work in hand.

After dawn, Shen Xihe checked all the accounts and gave the county magistrate all the written instructions, asking him to work with the local military guards to quickly implement the food distribution item by item.

The county magistrate is Xiao Changyan, and Xiao Changyan is unconscious now. Facing the powerful princess who dare not even speak to King Xun and King Yan, he can only obediently obey orders, so Xiao Changyan has not completed the work for several days. Shen Xihe only came for one day, and he finished everything. The common people got what they should get, and there was a smile on their faces.

Rongcheng County is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the rain is not as heavy as that of neighboring counties, and the hillsides are less. Apart from the damage to the crops, there are not many people. With the things distributed by the court, they don't have to worry about making it through this year.

At noon, Xiao Changyan's repeated high fever finally subsided completely. As soon as Shen Xihe had eaten the evening meal, Xiao Changyan woke up. When Shen Xihe went to visit, Xiao Changyan had already run out of food, and was half leaning on the couch with a pale face. , It seems that the danger has passed, and the rest only needs to be recuperated slowly.

Shen Xihe asked the doctor and got such an answer, so she was not polite: "His Royal Highness King Jing, can you tell me why you got in touch with the rebellious minister?"

Xiao Changgeng told him everything that should be told to Xiao Changyan, and Xiao Changyan was also prepared: "To tell you the truth, my twelfth brother was also injured by the emperor earlier, so I asked a doctor to treat my twelfth brother, so I followed some clues to trace, but I am not sure that it is the emperor's uncle, and I have never informed the crown prince and His Majesty."

Shen Xihe turned his head to look at Xiao Changgeng who was on the side: "His Royal Highness Yan, is what His Royal Highness King Jing said true?"

Xiao Changgeng clasped his hands: "Returning to the emperor's sister-in-law, what the eighth brother said is true."

"When did the King of Yan meet the murderous hand?" Shen Xihe asked again.

Xiao Changgeng replied without hesitation: "It was five days ago..."

"It was really five days ago?" Shen Xihe interrupted him in a cold voice.

Xiao Changgeng still didn't pause at all: "It was the day when the eighth brother arrived five days ago."

"That's what His Royal Highness King Jing said?" Shen Xihe asked again.

Xiao Changyan closed his eyes and hummed softly.

Shen Xihe's eyes turned around Xiao Changgeng, who had a low brow and pleasing eyes, and Xiao Changyan, who was half leaning on him, looking exhausted and enduring the pain. With his gaze back, Shen Xihe ordered in a cold voice: "Bring people in."

Xiao Changyan, Xiao Changgeng, and even Xiao Changfeng on the side felt a little bad. Sure enough, Mo Yuan quickly brought a person in. This person was not someone else, but Xiao Changgeng's servant. This servant was Xiao Changgeng who was ambushed by Xiao Changyan. At that time, he fell down the hillside and died. Xiao Changyan even sent someone to clean up the corpse, but it fell into Shen Xihe's hands again!

"Does King Yan know this person?" Shen Xihe asked.

Xiao Changgeng's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this servant can see you again..." But the little eunuch rushed forward with great excitement, knelt down in front of Xiao Changgeng, hugged his leg, and cried very excitedly.

"I'm... fine." Xiao Changgeng was also a little happy, the eunuch who had followed him for a long time did not die.

"His Royal Highness, according to what Fu Gui said, you fell into ambush last month, and King Yan has been missing for more than a month. He disappeared before His Royal Highness and I entered Dengzhou." Shen Xihe said coldly. , "Is it the king of Yan and the king of Jing who are lying, or is this servant lying and slandering the master?"

In fact, Xiao Changfeng, an outsider, knows that it is definitely not the servant who is lying, which means that Xiao Changgeng has indeed been missing for more than a month, and Xiao Changyan actually concealed it and did not report it. This...

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

"This matter is me..."

"Emperor's sister-in-law, I told my eighth brother to hide it." Xiao Changyan had just opened his mouth, but Xiao Changgeng interrupted him, "My eighth brother and I discovered the emperor's trace early on. We didn't dare to confirm it, but we couldn't take it lightly, so we wanted to I figured out a way to use my body as bait. I will lure the uncle to show up, so that the uncle will have nothing to worry about, so that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be alarmed."

Xiao Changgeng took it upon himself to fulfill Xiao Changyan's big lie, and everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Changgeng.

After a pause, Xiao Changgeng continued: "Eighth brother rescued me, I didn't want to make eighth brother any trouble, so I lied that I met the emperor that day."

Shen Xihe's gaze slowly moved away from Xiao Changgeng, and she looked at Xiao Changyan: "Your Highness King Jing, are the facts as King Yan said?"

Xiao Changyan opened his mouth, struggled for a moment and said: "The truth is..."

"Eighth brother doesn't need to protect my younger brother. It's my younger brother's great success. He caused eighth brother to put himself in danger. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely plead guilty to His Majesty." Xiao Changgeng stared straight at Xiao Changyan with clear and sincere eyes.

Xiao Changyan's heart was a little swollen, and he looked back with difficulty: "I didn't take care of the twelfth brother."

This can be regarded as tactfully agreeing with Xiao Changgeng's words.

Shen Xihe sneered: "So, you all knew about the traces of the rebellious ministers, greedy for credit and risk, and refused to report, so that the execution ground was robbed, and the Jinwu guards brought by the prince from the palace were lost?"

Xiao Changgeng bowed his head: "It was my fault, I will definitely report to His Majesty to receive the punishment."
