Chapter 258 I Met a Strong Enemy

"My lord..." Yitu was more than 30 years old. After entering, he knelt down on one knee and said with a sad expression:
"We have indeed concealed something about this matter. I will explain the ins and outs clearly. Please forgive me."

Shen Liuzhen has never spoken to this person, and he has never even heard him speak in front of others.

In Shen Liuzhen's impression, Yitu is an obedient and quiet son, steady and quiet.

He has seen how he stood with his colleagues from a distance, obviously he listened a lot and talked less, and occasionally glanced over, the eyes were deep and timid, but there was a feeling of being peeped and pondered .

Hean with his younger brother is not like being born of a father at all.

But because his presence is too low, Shen Liuzhen really didn't pay much attention to him.

But when he knelt down on the ground with a feeling of pain and humiliation, and said these words in an extremely sincere tone, Shen Liuzhen's eyelids twitched involuntarily, as if he had encountered a strong enemy.

He raised his finger to press his upper eyelid, raised his vigilance, looked at Yitu, and waited to hear what he had to say.

Lord Chongsu glanced at him, thoughtfully arranged the files on the table, and said with a sinking face:
"If I'm not mistaken, are you Yitu, Muhe's son?"

"Exactly... I am the third child, and the first two elder brothers have already died in battle." Yitu's voice always had a hint of sadness, especially when he said such words.

Sure enough, Prince Chongsu's cold expression softened obviously, and he said gently, as if sighing:

"You talk first and listen."

"Yes..." Yitu stood up from the ground, turned his head and glanced at He'an next to him.

He An, who had already fallen to the ground with his feet limp, got up vigilantly from the ground when he saw him, and stood there looking at his brother, his eyes twinkling in surprise...

From his appearance, one could tell that they hadn't discussed this scene beforehand.

He'an didn't know what his brother was going to say.I don't know whether he wants to help himself or hurt himself.

Yitu drooped sadly, and said sadly:

"The assassin was indeed sent by my brother He'an to assassinate Shen Liuzhen."

"Yitu!!" He'an called his brother's name in a panic, gnashing his teeth with hatred.

But Yitu stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop him from speaking, and he answered the words in a hurry, for fear that it would be too late, Hean would say something else:
"Stop talking! Don't tell me you're going to kill your father and king because of your little wayward mistake?!"

...A willful little mistake?
Now it's not just He'an who is stupid.Everyone in the lobby, including the government servants on both sides, couldn't help casting their eyes on Yitu's face.I thought: assassinating an imperial envoy, how can it be a willful little mistake?
Unmoved by Yitu, with a sincere look on his face, he clasped his fists at Lord Chongsu in the hall and said:

"My youngest brother, He'an, and Shen Liuzhen and Shen Shizhong are both companions of His Majesty the current emperor. The two of them have always been at odds and fought before. Almost everyone knows about it.

Later, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was obviously closer to Shen Liuzhen.He'an's childish nature, couldn't bear Shen Liuzhen being favored more than him, felt reconciled, and sent the assassin on the spur of the moment.It wasn't because Shen Liuzhen was an imperial envoy that he went to assassinate him. These two reasons are very different. Please learn from me. "

Shen Liuzhen frowned slightly and looked at He'an.

He An's eyes flickered, he looked at his brother, then at Shen Liuzhen.His lips twitched unwillingly, and in the end he didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

When Prince Mu He was alive, everyone knew that he was partial to his younger son, Lord He'an, and the throne of Prince Mu He was going to be passed on to his eldest son, so it was impossible for his younger son to get the throne.

So he opened his mouth early and asked Taiwu Emperor Shi Yufoli to ask He'an for the seal of a county king.This is the only favor among his many heirs.

So there have always been rumors that if Prince Muhe succeeds in rebelling against him and wins the throne, then the youngest son He'an must be the one who succeeds the throne and becomes the crown prince.

He'an himself knows this... so he always thinks that he is better than his father's other sons, all of them are excellent.

Hearing his elder brother slandering him at this time, saying that he was ignorant and willful, he was definitely not convinced.

Even though he wanted to kill Shen Liuzhen for this reason, it was more because Shen Liuzhen didn't deal with their family, and Wu Lei trusted Shen Liuzhen too much. If such a person stayed by the emperor's side, it would be bad for their family sooner or later, so he decided to kill Shen Liuzhen. determined to kill him.

Moreover, his plan was very good, and he specifically ordered the assassin to pick Shen Liuzhen away from the capital, and strike when he was on a long journey.

And let the assassin pretend to be a robber, a robber, or a thief, so who would think he did it?
However, in this situation now...he can't justify himself...if he speaks out these words, then he will be convicted of assassinating the imperial envoy and intending to rebel.

He's only 16 years old...he doesn't want to die yet.

Prince Chongsu raised his eyelids, and said with a solemn expression: "No matter what the reason is, it is a crime to deliberately murder a courtier."

Yitu hastily pleaded: "My lord... please see that He'an was young and ignorant, it was a private grievance between two teenagers, and Shen Liuzhen was not injured. For the sake of being extrajudicial, let him be spared this time." , give him a chance to reform...

What's more, compared to Shen Liuzhen's murder of my father, the marshal of our army, resulting in defeat on the battlefield, loss of three cities, and countless deaths and injuries of soldiers, what is this? ! "

There was a sudden silence in the lobby.

Listening to Yitu's sincere and powerful words, Shen Liuzhen couldn't help cursing in his heart:
Damn it, I saw just now that he was not a good bird, but I didn't expect that he was an eloquent and pretending scum!

Shen Liuzhen scolded very happily, but never thought that Yitu's "excellent" performance was exactly the same as him, and his cursing words were also very suitable for him...

Shen Liuzhen quickly thought about the countermeasures in his mind, thinking about which kind of performance he should use in order to overwhelm his convincing power over him.

After thinking about it, Shen Liuzhen asked calmly and helplessly:

"I heard that General Yitu admitted to the assassination earlier. I thought you were an honest and upright person. I didn't expect... I didn't talk about morality with you. I asked you about the evidence? I asked you if you should frame me. I don't believe that Shen Liuzhen is sitting upright, but you have framed me, can you still have evidence?"

Shen Liuzhen took two steps, pointed to Liubumu who lowered his head to the side, his face ashen as a dead man, and deliberately asked sharply:
"Don't tell me that this person who is full of lies can still be a witness?"

"He is the witness." Yitu directly affirmed shamelessly... and his expression was still calm and sincere.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Yitu's thick skin as if he had a clear conscience, and thought: Fuck me...why didn't I know that there was such a person comparable to me among Xianbei people?
Why the hell is he so hateful?
