Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 223

"My son, please greet my father." Shen Yishuo was playing chess with his Guan'er in the mansion, but he was interrupted by the little Caozi who was next to the father. Immediately enter the palace.

Shen Yishuo had no choice but to let Yun Wan keep the remnant chess and wait for him to go back and continue playing.

"Shuo'er, here we come." Shen Yixiang had a sad face, the secret report he just received made him restless and worried.

"I don't know why my father is calling my son so urgently?" Shen Yishuo couldn't figure out what his father was thinking about with frowning, and he hadn't received any secret letters recently.

"Shuo'er really doesn't know?" Shen Yixiang felt that the third prince and himself were suspected of being confused.

"My son doesn't know, please tell my father clearly." Shen Yishuo didn't know why his father was bothered anymore.

"The envoy Jin Ge was robbed by bandits on his way back. The situation is unknown." Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly. He was terrified when he first heard the news.

"Father, can you send your ministers to investigate this matter?" Shen Yishuo speculated, it was better for him to take the initiative than to wait passively.

"Would Shuoer be willing?" Shen Yixiang hesitated for a long time on who to send to find out the truth, and he can count on no one but Shen Yishuo at present.

"Serving the emperor, my son is willing." Shen Yishuo could not refuse, he never objected to his father's orders, he would carry out whatever his father ordered.

"There is no news from Jin Geguo at present, and I don't know if he knows about it. Shuo'er has to go to Liangzhou to investigate the case thoroughly. It happened suddenly, so it's better to deal with it." Shen Yixiang saw Shen Yi Shuo's attitude was very positive, so he was willing to continue talking about this matter, and he was not sure about the current whereabouts of the envoy.

"Father, how did the envoys meet the bandits? Aren't they the first to leave? They should have returned to Jin Ge earlier." Shen Yishuo remembered very clearly that the envoy Jin Ge's birthday banquet was over. He left the imperial capital the next morning, and the others stayed for two or three days longer before setting off to return.

"This pedestrian passed by Anzhou and stayed for a while, maybe it was delayed because of this." Shen Yixiang was also very strange. It stands to reason that they should have left Dazhou long ago, but the secret report did say that the envoy was the He was robbed by mountain bandits at night.

"The border between Anzhou and Qingzhou, could it be that the envoys and his party went to buy jades and were targeted by the bandits in Qingzhou?" Shen Yishuo analyzed that Anzhou's specialty jade, even the imperial jade is the best produced in Anzhou .

"Shuo'er is right, there is such a possibility, but if it has something to do with the bandits in Qingzhou, why bother to follow all the way to Liangzhou before attacking?" Shen Yixiang had too many doubts in his mind, and the behavior of the envoys and the bandits was very abnormal. .

"Following for hundreds of miles, and attacking in Liangzhou just to deceive others? This bandit's behavior is too abnormal, whether it is Liangzhou, Anzhou or Qingzhou, this is not like the bandits did it on a whim." Shen Yishuo added Overturned his conjecture.

"I sent you there just to investigate the secrets. I only speculate based on secret reports from various places. I'm afraid it will be difficult to know the truth." Shen Yixiang was afraid that someone would play tricks secretly, so he deliberately provoked the relationship between Da Zhou and Jin Ge, affecting the relationship between Da Zhou and Jin Ge. The stability of the court and the prosperity of the people.

"Could it be that the mountain bandit was afraid of being involved in the previous robbery case? That's why he played tricks." Shen Yishuo recalled the case of King Huanyi's robbery and continued to speculate. He still has a lot to investigate about that case. "Huh? Could it be that it was done by the Dark War Clan Alliance again?"

"Hearing Shuoer's analysis, I am very sad." Shen Yixiang's eyes were full of sadness when he heard the Anshang Zongmeng. These four words were like a knife stabbed in his heart, making him uncomfortable but powerless Pulled out, "Whether it's the Dark Emperor's Alliance or the bandits, the act of robbing the envoys is not conducive to the stability of Da Zhou and Jin Ge."

"Father, don't worry too much. It may be that the bandits recognized the envoys as wealthy merchants just to rob money. Maybe it's just a coincidence." Shen Yishuo was afraid that his father would become ill from worry, so he comforted him. Dao, it may be too coincidental to say it is.

"If it's just bandits trying to rob money, they definitely won't seek wealth and kill their lives. I'm afraid that there will be an alliance of the Dark Emperor to make troubles among them, so it's hard to say." Well, the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally couldn't get rid of the relationship, and King Jin Ge had to give an explanation anyway.

"Father, when will the envoys and his party be robbed?" Shen Yishuo forgot to ask this most important question.

"Xu shi the night before yesterday." Shen Yixiang couldn't sleep well for the past two days, as if he had sensed it.

"It's so late, don't the envoys need to rest? Why are you in such a hurry to travel at night? If you are really in a hurry to return to Jin Ge, why do you need to delay in Anzhou for a few days? And there is no clear news about what happened the night before. Could it be that the prefect of Liangzhou wanted to hide something on purpose?" Shen Yishuo didn't know the prefect of Liangzhou, and didn't even know his name.

"The prefect of Liangzhou received a report that night. Someone claimed to have seen bandits robbing the envoy, so the prefect immediately sent a secret report eight hundred miles away, but I think this matter is very strange."

Shen Yixiang didn't know what was wrong with it, and he was also afraid that someone would deliberately conceal it. Except for Shen Yishuo who could make him trust, he didn't think anyone else could take on this important task.

"This matter is really strange. You were traveling in the middle of the night, but there were witnesses who were robbed. When you reported the case, you knew the identity of the robbed target. Did the prefect of Liangzhou check it out?" Shen Yishuo was suspicious. reason.

"Shuo'er went to Liangzhou to investigate the witnesses carefully. For Liang Yin, the magistrate of Liangzhou, he should first observe. The prince was cautious in his words and deeds, but he still asked with concern.

"Father, don't worry, I know what to do. If there is any movement, I will report to you at any time." Shen Yishuo said very firmly, but he was not completely sure that he could find out the case quickly.

"Shuo'er, the envoys are related to the future of our two countries. If they are not handled properly, they will easily intensify the conflict. Although Jin Ge has been friends with Da Zhou for decades, he has annexed several tribes in recent years. His military strength should not be underestimated. .”

Shen Yixiang finished his words, and immediately turned into a caring tone, "Hey~ Huan's injury has not healed yet, and the son-in-law has to take care of Han'er. Shuo'er must pay attention to safety when going alone. I only hope that you are safe and well. Besides, Shuo'er doesn't need to be too anxious, just play it by ear, I have already ordered Mr. Xiang to let you know when it is auspicious."

"Thank you for your love, my son, I will definitely protect myself and live up to my father's trust in my son." Shen Yishuo was flattered, his father had never spoken so many instructions to him in his usual days.

How difficult and dangerous the journey is, you will finally be able to win the king's favor.The flesh and blood worry about it, and the widow complains alone.
