marquis of jingan

Chapter 540 Top Ten!

At this time, five or six days had passed since Shen Yi was assassinated.

During these five or six days, Shen Yi stayed in Yueqing City, not even going to the anti-Japanese army camp again.

He didn't even go out much.

Even for some important matters that he had to deal with, he sent people to Yueqing City to deal with them.

Of course, the original burned-down house could no longer be lived in, after all, no one knew if there were any "bad guys" hiding in that house.

The current Master Shen has found another small house in Yueqing City to live in, but at the moment he is surrounded by strict defenses. There are about a dozen inner guards who work in shifts as his personal guards day and night. will also be checked in detail.

Let's put it this way, in terms of Shan Jun's security treatment, he has already surpassed the Jin Shizi who went south to patrol the sea some time ago, and he is close to the feudal king.

One of the reasons why Master Shen didn't go out was, of course, that he was afraid of death.

His brain has regained his sobriety now, and he can understand with his ass that this murder was planned for a long time, and once the enemy makes a move, he is unlikely to give up lightly. Maybe there will be a second murder in the future. The second assassination and the third assassination.

Wandering outside at this time can certainly show heroism, but it is a bit too deadly.

In order to save his own life and not cause trouble to the inner guards, Master Shen is very sensible and well-behaved.

At noon that day, Shen Yi was still taking a nap in the room here, and there was a sound of saluting outside the door. Shen Yi was a light sleeper, and was immediately awakened by these noises. Fortunately, he was basically full of sleep at this moment, so Then he got up and put on his coat, yawned, and pushed open the door.

After the door was pushed open, Shen Yi saw a middle-aged man in gray cloth standing at the door of his room.

The middle-aged man looks about 35 or [-] years old, about the same height as Shen Yi, but slightly stronger than Shen Yi, with sharp eyes.

A group of inner guards surrounded the middle-aged man.

After the middle-aged man saw Shen Yi, he also subconsciously looked at Shen Yi, and then stepped forward to salute, "Inner Guard Lu Sheng, I have met Master Shen."

"Lu Sheng..."

Shen Yi didn't know the name of the commander of the inner guard, but he had heard that the commander's surname was Lu, which had the same surname as his wife, so Master Shen took a look at the middle-aged man and asked, "How dare you ask?" Commander Lu?"

Lu Sheng nodded silently: "Master Shen actually knows me."

His tone was very flat, although it was a question sentence, but there was no mood swing.

"I'm lucky to hear that the commander of the inner guard is named Lu, just a wild guess."

He looked at Lu Sheng and asked, "Has Commander Lu visited Big Brother Qi? He is seriously injured and is still recuperating."

"seen it already…"

Lu Sheng was silent for a while, and then said: "Among the people who went south this time, only he did a good job, the others..."

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

Obviously, the commander is very dissatisfied with the performance of the inner guards, and there is a high probability that he will hold those inner guards accountable.

But this is all internal guard's affairs, Shen Yi doesn't want to intervene, and can't intervene.

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then cupped his hands to Shen Yi and said, "Master Shen, Mr. Lu was ordered to come to Yueqing to investigate the case of the imperial envoy's assassination. There are other matters that I need to discuss with Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "Please, Marshal Wei."

Lu Sheng lowered his head slightly and entered Shen Yi's bedroom.

The commander-in-chief of the inner guard has a very good attitude.

After all, he, the Commander of the Internal Guard, is a solid third-rank military officer and a confidant of His Majesty. He actually has a very high status in the court. It is very rare to be able to speak so modestly with Shen Yi.

Of course, it is also possible that because of the emperor's life, he has no time to put on airs.

After Lu Sheng entered the room, the other inner guards immediately surrounded the yard, wrapping it tightly so that nothing could leak out.

After the two of them entered Shen Yi's bedroom, Master Shen first asked Lu Sheng to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Wei Shuai arrived in Yueqing so quickly, it's been a hard journey."

Lu Sheng was obviously not sociable. He took the teacup from Shen Yi with both hands, but he didn't have the nerve to say thank you, and he didn't accept Shen Yi's polite words. Wei has been investigating this assassination case, and until now, there are already some clues."

He looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Master Shen, do you want to know?"

Shen Yi nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course I thought about it, even if it is death, I have to die to understand, right?"

"On the day when the water came out, our people carefully inspected the garden."

"There is nothing wrong with the well. After all, there is a lot of water. No matter how much drugs are thrown into it, it will not be of great use."

"In the bucket in the kitchen, someone has drugged it, and the amount is very large."

Lu Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "We sent someone to try it, and after taking two sips, you'll sleep for a day and a night."

Shen Yi blinked and asked, "Then did you find out who prescribed the medicine?"

Lu Sheng shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet, but the person who set the fire found it."

Lu Sheng said silently: "It was the watchman who worked the watch that night. Someone gave him 100 taels of silver to set this fire. Principal Shen's bedroom is along the street, and he set the fire on the side of the street."

"This watchman doesn't know that there are imperial envoys living in the house..."

Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully.

"Then the clue is broken?"

Lu Sheng shook his head: "If I hadn't found something, I wouldn't have come to see Master Shen."

He sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "The assassin was able to prescribe medicine to Master Shen, but he didn't prescribe poison, which means that there is a high probability that he did not prescribe the medicine himself, but bought someone else's medicine..."

"The assassins put medicine in the bucket, which means they know that you have to drink tea every night, Mr. Shen, and they must have bribed the servants in the yard..."

"We're going down this line..."

Lu Sheng looked calm, and said softly: "I found the maid who swept the garden."

"The maid said that someone gave her five taels of silver, saying that it was a gift for you, Master Shen, and asked her what you usually like, Master Shen."

"She told that person that you have to drink tea every night and often don't go to bed until midnight."

"We're going down this line..."

Lu Sheng let out a foul breath, and continued: "Following this line, we found some clues, and all the signs point to Qi Ren."

"Now, it can almost be concluded that [-]% to [-]% of the people in this matter did it."

"However, the people who implemented it are all members of the court. Up to now, the inner guards have tracked down more than ten people involved in the case..."

Shen Yi also bowed his head and took a sip of tea when he heard the words, and then smiled: "According to what Wei Shuai said, this matter seems to be closed. Is the Qi people going to kill me?"

Lu Sheng shook his head silently.

"Master Shen, the people of Qi also have a yamen similar to the inner guard."

Shen Yi nodded, expressing his understanding.

Basically, as long as a force is large enough, it will naturally spawn a spy agency similar to the inner guard.

Northern Qi was no exception.

"The inner guard of the Northern Qi Dynasty has an assassination list, and there are almost a hundred people on the list."

Lu Sheng looked up at Shen Yi with a complicated expression: "Master Shen, you have already squeezed into the top ten."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "So tall?"

"Ah."

Lu Sheng nodded, and said slowly: "But the problem is, although Director Shen was also on this list a few months ago, he was at the bottom of the list, only in the last few seats."

"Our internal guards are checking..."

This Lu Weishuai has a quiet tone.

"Who is it, or what is it, that made you, Mr. Shen, suddenly squeezed into the top ten..."
