Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 150 The Masked Man

"Father, my son is here to greet you." Shen Yishuo hurried to Xuande Hall, wanting to inquire about the situation first, and then reply to Shen Yihan, he was afraid that his eldest sister would come directly to the father to ask for a crime. , and many details of last night, only he can explain clearly with the emperor.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Shen Yixiang had just finished drinking the soothing soup. He was always tired and depressed recently.

"My son just learned that Ze Fenglin was imprisoned, and I want to ask my father, what is his crime?" Shen Yishuo pretended to be concerned, and his tone was very flat.

"If you have time, go directly to Sikong Li. He knows the ins and outs of the situation best, and he reported to me early in the morning." For Concubine Xuan Gui's face, he can't punish too severely.

"My son doesn't know how to ask, so I ask my father to make it clear." Shen Yishuo has always been reticent in front of his father. No matter what he is ordered to do, he will not object, and he never asks why. It was the first time he came to question his father's decision.

"Ze Fenglin called the guards of Tianfu City privately without going through Zong Baifu. Shuo'er thinks how should you ask Sikong Yu about this matter?" Shen Yixiang frowned and closed his eyes in deep thought. It is also small, depending on the angle from which to judge.

"Father, I came here just to explain to you that the incident happened suddenly last night, so I sent Ze Fenglin to dispatch the guards." Shen Yishuo had already noticed that the father was in a gloomy mood, but regarding If he wanted to plead for Ze Fenglin, he had to say it.

"Oh, last night? Could it be possible that Shuo'er also participated in it?" Shen Yixiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the third prince.

"My son is dull, I don't know what my father said?" Shen Yishuo hesitated to speak, he always agreed to uncertain things at will.

"What on earth do you want to tell me? It's better to be straightforward, I'm very tired." Shen Yixiang never felt that his third son spoke in such a circle, making him so sleepy that he dozed off.

"Father, the dragon is not in good health? Let the imperial physician prescribe some medicine to take care of it." Shen Yishuo was cautious, not daring to speak out about Ze Fenglin for fear of angering his father.

"Last night, I felt the wind and cold, and I didn't close my eyes half the night. In the early morning, something like Ze Fenglin happened. Hey, even your mother and concubine Xuan came to bother me. One by one, you are more troublesome than the other, and you have added trouble to me." Shen Yi Xiang shook his head helplessly. After all, he was still getting old, and staying up late was exhausting his energy.

"Father Huang Shengming, the Zefeng family has a virtuous and virtuous concubine Xuanmu, and a quick-witted Lord Zefeng. Ze Fenglin grew up in this scholarly family, and his character and conduct should not be bad. My son dares to guarantee it with his life." , There must be a misunderstanding in this, please let the emperor decide." Shen Yishuo answered the scalp and explained that he did not want to be ordered by his father to evict the guest.

"Misunderstanding? It is an indisputable fact that he privately transferred the guards." Shen Yixiang's calm expression immediately turned cold again.

"Father, I'll tell you the truth. The guards were dispatched yesterday to search for the masked man. Ben and Ze Fenglin went to the Lantern Festival with nothing to do. I didn't expect to find a suspicious man wearing a mask in the lively crowd." The man." Shen Yishuo directly stated the main purpose of dispatching troops, he could only explain the matter to the emperor, if he finished explaining, the emperor still wanted to punish Ze Fenglin, and he had nothing to do.

"The Temple Street Lantern Festival is crowded with people. Is it abnormal for people with masks?" Shen Yixiang said to himself, thinking and refuting.

"Wearing black clothes and wearing a mask, two or three people are walking together in the remote alleys around Temple Street. Isn't this suspicious?" Fortunately, Yuchen didn't have anything to do with it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Yunwan.

"Maybe it's because your companions were playing around, which made you two misunderstand?" Shen Yixiang wanted to rule out all possibilities.

"I was not sure before, so I sent Ze Fenglin to transfer a team of guards, but he only brought back a dozen people at a time, which aroused the vigilance of those masked people, and disappeared after mixing into the crowd, so Erchen then sent Ze Fenglin to call in more guards, intending to seal off Temple Street and carry out arrests."

"Then the wrong guard was transferred?" Shen Yixiang asked, he felt that the prudent Ze Fengduo should not have such a reckless son.

"Father is wise, Ze Fenglin was very confused, and directly lost some of the guards in Tianfu City. It's no wonder that I didn't give clear instructions." Shen Yishuo sighed while watching his father's expression.

"Have you caught your so-called suspicious person?" Shen Yixiang inspected, he most dislikes mysterious people who come and go without a trace like ghosts.

"I also ask my father to forgive my son's incompetence. It's just that there are too many people at the Temple Street Lantern Festival. Our party was strictly sealed and interrogated until early in the morning. We found nothing but a mask." Shen Yishuo suddenly fell to his knees and pleaded guilty.

"I suspect that Shuo'er made a fuss over a molehill. It's just a mask. There are so many small business stalls who might have discarded it. How can it be that the mysterious person left behind?" Shen Yixiang asked noncommittally.

"This is the second time I have seen such an exquisite mask. The first time was in the Treasure Building." Shen Yishuo continued talking, trying to attract his father to ask.

"Zhenbao Building? When?" Shen Yixiang asked in confusion, he didn't know why the third prince got involved with Zhenbao Building for no reason.

"I haven't reported it to my father because I have too many doubts and have no clue. The first time I found the mask was New Year's Eve. Didn't my father order me to thoroughly investigate the cause of the leak in the scripture building? I am afraid of the treasure building. There is also a hidden danger of fire, so I checked it carefully. It is because of this similar mask that I suspected that those suspicious people last night were related to the arson case. The interest of Shangyuan Festival." Shen Yishuo finally told the truth,

"Shuo'er thinks this masked man is the one who set fire on New Year's Eve?"

"My son really thinks so. Even if he wasn't the one who set the fire, he must be involved." Shen Yishuo still knelt devoutly.

"You guarantee that Ze Fenglin is not an internal response?" Shen Yixiang confirmed again, he did not want the royal relatives to do illegal things.

"If the father and emperor are willing to believe, I dare to guarantee it with my life."

"Okay, I get it, let's back down."

"Then father, can you let Ze Fenglin go first?"

"This... you can ask Ze Fengduo, he locked his son in himself, who knows what he wants to do?" Even Shen Yixiang felt that Ze Fengduo had gone too far this time, and he hadn't investigated clearly yet. Let's kill relatives righteously first, and set an example, it seems to be pretending to show someone.

Pretending to be late at night, the night is still young.There are heart knots hidden under the mask, and it is difficult to sleep because of heart knots.
