Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 269 Blockers

Hearing from the maid that Yun Wan had moved out of the palace half a month ago, Shen Yishuo was very angry. He really wanted to ask why Yun Guan was hiding it from him, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe his Guan'er really had a hard time. I don't want to pursue anything more, besides, there are more difficult things waiting for him right now.

After Shen Yishuo cleaned up and adjusted his mentality, he was ready to go to the palace to meet his father and report the latest investigation to him in detail. For the envoy's unfortunate death, he still didn't know if his father would blame him .

Unexpectedly, when Shen Yishuo walked halfway, he was surrounded by five masked men who suddenly appeared. He didn't know the origin of these people, but he still calmly asked: "Who is blocking the way?"

"Pretend not to know?" one of the larger masked men roared angrily.

"Whether he knows it or not, don't talk nonsense, let's fight quickly~" After the leader masked man gave orders, the remaining four drew out their daggers and stabbed at Shen Yishuo in unison.

Shen Yishuo instantly drew out the Chenyuan sword to block the daggers on the front and sides, but accidentally cut his arm by the masked man who attacked behind him, "Ah~"

Shen Yishuo immediately adjusted his combat direction with his back against the wall, the invisible blind spot was too dangerous.

"What are you doing in a daze, charge~" The five masked men rushed up at the same time again, and Shen Yishuo instantly rushed to the man facing him, piercing his shoulder blade with a sword, but he was powerless to defend against the daggers on both sides , and was scratched again because of not dodging in time.

"Boss~" Everyone exclaimed, and immediately went to help the masked man who was stabbed by Shen Yishuo. A group of guards was galloping not far away.

"Third Prince, are you not injured?" Sikong Li asked nervously as he ran over all the way.

"Thank you Lord Sikong for coming in time." Shen Yishuo's two wounds on the left and right arms were covered with new flesh, but fortunately Sikong Li came in time, so he escaped unharmed.

Shen Yishuo still felt that this matter was very strange, why Sikong Yu suddenly appeared as expected, why those people had no grievances and no hatred to deal with him, this made him full of doubts.

"Third Prince, I just received a secret report from the guards saying that I found a few people with mysterious whereabouts... So I thought of the matter that the Third Prince asked me to investigate... so I brought my men over here... Who knows that you are under siege, What a coincidence!" Sikong Li explained pantingly, he was also afraid that Shen Yishuo would misunderstand him because of this coincidence.

"Lord Sikong arrived in time. These people suddenly appeared, and I don't know who sent them." Shen Yishuo didn't feel that he had offended anyone, but the people blocking the way obviously came to kill him. The sword was going straight to the point, fortunately he was carrying the Chenyuan sword with him to resist the counterattack, otherwise he would definitely suffer a lot if he fought with those people with bare hands.

"Third prince, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter carefully." It is rare for Si Kongzhao to have the opportunity to please the third prince. He often made good friends with Shen Yishuo before, but he was always rejected by him.

"Lord Sikong does not know the foresight, but these gangsters may just want to rob money, and this king just happened to pass by." Shen Yishuo didn't know how those masked people knew that he had returned to the imperial capital. Could it be that someone had been secretly monitoring his every move, thinking Thinking about it is scary.

"It's really unlucky for the third prince to come across this matter just after he returned to the imperial capital~" Sikong Li shook his head helplessly.

"How does your lord know that this king has just returned to the imperial capital?" Shen Yishuo asked back.

"Old minister, I heard from the emperor two days ago that you were sent to Liangzhou to investigate the case. The third prince was exhausted, and I wanted to throw a banquet for you to clean up the dust. I wonder if the prince will show you face?" Sikong said that he knew it from the emperor. No one will question the emperor.

"Lord Sikong's kind words, I appreciate your kindness. When I have time, I will invite you to a banquet to thank you for your timely rescue. If you are a little busy these two days, I won't cause you any trouble." Shen Yishuo was very polite to Sikong.

"Then I won't cause trouble for the prince, it's just that you were frightened just now? Do you need an old minister to escort you?" Sikong Li continued to be courteous. He admired the third prince very much. After going through the dangerous situation just now, he was still calm and calm. Change color.

"No need, Mr. Sikong, let's go to work, don't worry too much, I'm fine." Shen Yishuo just wanted to meet his father alone, and didn't want to be with anyone, as if he wanted to be divided into gangs.

"The third prince must pay attention to safety. The old minister will continue to track down the masked man and will notify you if there is any news." Sikong Li hurried away after finishing speaking.

Shen Yishuo turned left and right through a few small roads, and entered the palace after confirming that he was not being followed. He wanted to see the emperor quickly and report the case of Jin Ge's envoy being robbed. The emperor has a long life and a healthy life, and the wealth and honor are not yet young."

"When did Shuoer come back?" Shen Yixiang didn't expect Shen Yishuo to come back suddenly.

"I want to report to my father, my son specially went to Qingzhou and Anzhou to investigate, or I could come back two days earlier." Shen Yishuo explained that he was indeed delayed for two days on the road, "Father, the envoy well?"

"You haven't heard about the envoy?" Shen Yixiang stared at Shen Yishuo intently.

"Father please make it clear." Shen Yishuo pretended not to know.

"I have asked the fourth son to send the body of the envoy to Qiuchi, hey~" Shen Yixiang sighed heavily.

"Ah? The envoy passed away?" Shen Yishuo's panic was natural.

"How's the investigation going?" Shen Yixiang asked.

"Returning to my father, my son went to Anzhou to find out the shop that the envoy mentioned selling jade wares. It is indeed true. Yichen saw that the bandits near Qingzhou saw them buying a lot of jade wares, and they recognized them as a caravan." Shen Yi Shuo is very sure.

"It's fine to rob the money, why do you want to take the merchants away?" Shen Yixiang asked worriedly.

"It may be that they knew that they were Jin Ge envoys during the fight, so they tied them up, and then demanded a ransom of 10 taels from the Liangzhou prefect lion." Shen Yishuo finally borrowed from merchants in Liangzhou, It was barely enough to collect the ransom.

"Let's say there are eight or nine people in a group, why just redeem one person." Shen Yixiang felt that this deal was a deal for a dumb man to eat Coptis chinensis, but the money was spent but the disaster was not resolved. Ge defends the truth.

"Father, please forgive me for my incompetence. I encountered some difficulties in raising the ransom. These bandits were too insidious and cunning. They killed one person a day, cut off their hands and sent them to the magistrate to demand the ransom. In the end, I only rescued one person. "As soon as Shen Yishuo raised the silver, he hurried to trade with the bandits. Unexpectedly, there was only one person left in the group, and he was tortured when he was exchanged.

"Where did you trade it? What happened to the bandits?" Shen Yixiang's eyes were full of doubts, and he vaguely felt that the person in front of him seemed to be hiding something from him.

Take the winner with wisdom, don't fight with brute courage, and retreat if you can't make a detour.
