marquis of jingan

Chapter 537 The sky is turned upside down!
Not long after he was appointed by the emperor, the "representative imperial envoy" who had placed high hopes on him was assassinated in Yueqing and was almost burned to death!
When this kind of thing happened, I knew with my ass that the emperor would be furious, and he would definitely be furious.

Otherwise, the majesty of the emperor will be gone.

Shen Yi sat beside Qi Dayou's bed, lowered his head slightly, and sighed: "To be honest, I haven't recovered until now, and I haven't even had time to feel angry in my heart."

"Now, I just feel a chill down my spine."

This is Shen Yi's real thought.

Perhaps it was because of being drugged, Shen Yi has not turned his mind a bit until now, and the only feeling in his heart now is the word "fear".

He was not entirely afraid of death.

The main reason is that he has a wife and son now, what should his wife and children do if he dies like this?
The youngest brother in the family, Shen Heng, is still a student. He won’t take the Juren exam until this fall, and the Jinshi exam next year. If he wins, everyone will be happy. If he doesn’t win, the family will lose himself, and who will take the lead? ?

Is it possible to rely on Master Lu?
But Master Lu is already very old.

Shen Yi thought silently in his heart.

After much deliberation, there is only one person who seems to be reliable...

That is Xu Fu.

If he is gone, Xu Fu is really the only one who can take care of the Shen family in a short time.

After being afraid, anger slowly emerged in Shen Yi's heart.

No matter who was the one who made the move last night, this almost "killing feud" is considered to be settled.

Moreover, Shen Yi is really alive now.

As long as he lives, there will always be a day of revenge.

"This matter is my dereliction of duty."

Qi Dayou's face was still covered with a white cloth, he sighed, and said: "I was ordered to protect Master Shen, and the past few months have been calm, so I am a little careless."

"The person who did it last night must have planned it in advance..."

Shen Yi lowered his head, looked at his palm, then rubbed his still aching head, and said slowly: "I heard from the inner guard brothers that I was drugged last night, but I was in the hospital yesterday afternoon. I stayed in the anti-Japanese army camp for a whole day, and then I went back home. I really don't understand, who can give me medicine..."

"Not necessarily food."

Qi Dayou whispered: "It may also be tea."

"Don't hide from Master Shen."

Qi Dayou hesitated for a moment, and said: "Last night, I suspected the follower who was with you. If someone wants to drug you, he is the most convenient person to do it. But last night, he was also drugged. Nearly burned to death in the room..."

"Even if he poisoned himself to remove the suspicion after he did it, he would probably find a room far away from your bedroom to rest instead of sleeping in the room next to yours, so the suspicion of this person is not great. "

"Besides him, the rest are the other servants in this garden."

"The inner guards have already controlled them all and interrogated them one by one."

The place where Shen Yi lives now was found for him by Zhong Ping, the former county magistrate of Yueqing County. Reasonable, so there were some servant girls in the garden, but they didn't drive them away, and they were still maintaining the garden.

There are estimated to be fifteen or sixteen of these servants.

Shen Yi rubbed his temples, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jiang Sheng, I know the bottom line, he is unlikely to do such a thing."

Jiang Sheng is the illegitimate son of Tian Boping in Jiangdu. He went to Jiankang with Shen Yi to make a living when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. He used to work with Xu Fu. Later, when Shen Yi went south, he really lacked a servant by his side, so he took the clever Jiang Sheng took it with him as a follower.

Jiang Sheng is now married, and his wife and children live in Shen's house in Jiankang. He really knows everything. No matter what angle he looks at, he has no reason to murder Shen Yi.

"As for the others, I will trouble Brother Qi to investigate."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi remained expressionless: "If the evidence of the crime is proven, we will deal with it according to the law."

According to Da Chen's law, murdering an imperial envoy is a crime of treason.

It's going to be executed all over the house.

Qi Da nodded, and said slowly: "Well, the inner guard will track down all the way."

He took a deep breath: "Even if we don't give Mr. Shen an explanation, we still have to give His Majesty an explanation."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen has been given a lot of medicine. You should pay more attention to rest now. The medicine will be almost completely gone by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and communicated with Qi Dayou, then he slowly got up and walked outside.

At this time, his residence was guarded by internal guards inside and out.

Even the people who resisted the Japanese army couldn't get in.

It wasn't until Shen Yi walked out of the courtyard that he saw two hundred households from the anti-Japanese army guarding the door. When the two hundred households saw Shen Yi, they immediately surrounded him with joy on their faces.

"Master Shen, you're awake!"

Shen Yi nodded silently, then glanced at the two of them, and said slowly: "Go and inform Ling Su and Xue Wei, and tell them to leave a hundred people to cooperate with the inner guards and obey the arrangements of the inner guards, and the rest immediately go back to the Japanese army camp Go, it's time to train, it's time to get ready."

The two hundred households were used to Shen Yi's orders, and immediately went down to spread the word.

Not long after, the anti-Japanese army followed Shen Yi's order and left only a hundred-household battalion in Yueqing to cooperate with the internal guards on errands.

Because the number of internal guards in Yueqing is really too small.

Although the anti-Japanese army left, the two thousand households of the anti-Japanese army did not leave. Instead, they rushed directly to Shen Yi, waiting for Master Shen's next instruction.

After Xue Wei saw that Shen Yi was safe and sound, he was even more excited, stepped forward and pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, and wanted to take him to live in the anti-Japanese army camp.

Shen Yi shook his head and refused.

"Now I have dozens of inner guards around me, it's very safe, there is no need to live in the barracks."

Shen Yi glanced at the two of them with a calm expression: "But you two, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back to the camp now. The training against the Japanese army is the most important thing. I'm fine here."

Xue Wei looked at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, let Ling Qianhu go back to the camp to take charge of military affairs. I will guard you here, so I can feel more at ease. You don't know that last night, our anti-Japanese army It's almost a mess up and down, I'm afraid something will happen to you!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "With or without me, the Anti-Japanese Army will not be in a mess."

"You don't want to stay here anymore, it's not good."

"You all go back together."

Master Shen rubbed his head and said in a low voice, "I want to rest in peace for a few days..."

………………

As the eyes and ears of His Majesty the emperor, and the eyes and ears of the "direct line", the inner guard naturally has many channels to pass on news.

The inner guards have post stations in various places, and there are even special post roads for passing news.

The news that Shen Yi was almost burned to death was naturally a big deal, so the news was rushed to Jiankang by Liubaili.

Yueqing is only a thousand miles away from Jiankang.

Therefore, on the evening of the third day after Shen Yi was assassinated, the news of the inner guard was rushed to the eunuch Gao Minggao.

After eunuch Gao got the news, his face immediately became serious. He didn't care what the emperor was doing, so he went directly to the Ganlu Hall, found His Majesty the Emperor who was enjoying the singing and dancing of the teaching workshop, and passed the news of the inner guard to up.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from the inner guard."

The little emperor was watching the newly choreographed dance music at the moment, so he casually reached out and accepted the message from Gao Ming.

After unfolding the inner guard's note, His Majesty the Emperor only glanced at it, and the smile froze on his face.

Seeing the change in the emperor's face, Gao Ming stood up winkingly, and waved to the dancing girls of the Jiaofang Division and the musicians in the palace.

The chief eunuch's voice was a little impatient.

"It's all gone!"

Soon, the originally lively Ganlu Hall became quiet.

A gust of cool wind blew, and the light from the palace lanterns flickered on the emperor's face, making His Majesty's face flicker.

"Inverted…"

The emperor whispered something first, then looked up at Gao Ming, and took a deep breath.

He tried to calm his voice, tried not to lose his composure.

But after all, he was still young, and His Majesty the Emperor still hadn't completely suppressed his anger.

He patted the table so hard that his hands were numb from the shock.

"The sky is turned upside down!"

The young emperor's voice was extremely angry, and the signs of Gun Gun Longwei had already begun to emerge.

Gao Ming and other two or three neighbors were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to the emperor.

"His Majesty…"

Eunuch Gao's voice trembled.

"Calm down..."
