Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

The lights on the Yongding River were flickering, and Wei Xiu led people to search, but Fu Mingjue was still not found, but many killer corpses were picked up.

Holding the torch, Wei Xiu stretched out half of his body and looked towards the dark river bottom. Except for his own reflection, he didn't even see a fish.He retracted his hand angrily, stood up straight and asked, "Have you looked for it over there?"

"I've searched, but I haven't found the figure of the prince."

Wei Xiu's face darkened, and he was so full of anger that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only yell at his subordinates, "Look again! Even if the Yongding River is drained, I have to find someone!"

The subordinate said innocently: "My lord, we have been searching for so long but we still haven't found anyone. Do you think the prince has already been rescued?"

That being said, it seems reasonable.

Wei Xiu calmed down, put the torch into his hand, and said: "You guys continue to search on the river, I'll go to the shore to have a look." After saying that, he strode off the boat.

Dozens of corpses were piled up by the river, all of them covered in black.The imperial guards guarded the side, and no one was allowed to approach, until Gu Baiyan hurriedly got out of the sedan chair, the imperial guards stepped aside.

Jiang Zhou saw this scene from a distance, turned around and walked back into the house, and said to Fu Mingjue: "My lord, they seem to be looking for you, do you want to go out now?"

Fu Mingjue changed into a brand new Xuanyi and sat there with a very pale complexion, and said in a low voice: "No hurry, did Jiang Liu send out the list?"

He thought that the reason why his father stopped him that day was for the sake of the Shen family, but he didn't expect the truth behind it to be so?
Shen Chong's face darkened: "Are you questioning my father?!"

Shen Chong's voice was still as indifferent as usual, without a hint of joy or anger: "Speak, what do you want to ask?"

"Okay, tonight's play is over, let's go back to the mansion." He got up with his wide sleeves folded, and took advantage of the night to return to King Jing's mansion.

In this endless dispute, there is no other way but life and death.

This assassination, which lasted for four days, came to an end, and the lifeless deadlock was broken with the moonlight tonight.As far as Fu Mingjue is concerned, it has come to an end, but those who got the list can't sleep at all tonight
At this time, Ding Guohou's mansion.

Shen Chong's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "You ask me why I want to train dead men? Then I will tell you, in this capital, you can let the person who wants to kill you because of soft-heartedness today, but if he wants to kill you in the future You, you can't have any complaints."

The lights in the study room were always on, as if he had expected him to come.

"You didn't let me send people to King Jing's Mansion that day because you didn't want the Shen family to be caught in this turmoil, but from the moment you cultivated the dead, the Shen family was destined not to be able to get out of the mud. Can you help us today? Fu Mingjue was assassinated with a non-existent list, if he wants to attack Dingguo Houfu in the future, we can't have the slightest complaint!"

Shen Chong was startled for a moment, but he regained his composure after a while, and admitted frankly: "That's right, I did send someone to King Jing's Mansion that day."

"So, is this the way in father's heart?" Shen Xuhuai's voice was a bit bitter. He didn't understand why his father, who taught him to write the word "gentleman" stroke by stroke, would say such words?
He has learned the way of a gentleman since he was a child, learning the heart of benevolence and righteousness, but now his father tells him that if he doesn't step on other people's corpses to climb up, he will be the next to die!

As soon as he took a step, the door behind him suddenly opened.

Shen Xuhuai suddenly felt it was ridiculous, he insisted on the way for many years, and even gave up his love because of it, in the end it was only his persistence.

"You once said that the Shen family should be loyal to Dayan from generation to generation. Why did you secretly train dead soldiers?" He clenched his fingers into fists and stepped forward, "You also taught me that you don't want to be perfect in your actions, but Please have a clear conscience, but what you have done today is worthy of the word 'clear conscience'?"

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Shen Chong looked at his stiff figure lightly, with a calm tone.

Shen Xuhuai's back was tense, and when he heard his father's voice, he suddenly let go of his tightly clenched hands, turned around slowly, and said, "I have something to ask my father, but I don't know where to start."

Shen Xuhuai's eyes were quiet and deep, and he said: "If he owes me, I will ask him to pay back, but if the Shen family owes him, if he wants to ask for debt, I will not stop him."

There was a subtle curve on his lips, and then he asked, "What about the other lists?"

Shen Chong knew what he wanted to ask, so he walked into the study first, and said, "Come in and talk."

It's ridiculous to say that he thought that the Dingguohou's Mansion would never participate in the intrigues in the capital, but he didn't expect that he would be caught in the face today.

He hooked the corners of his mouth sneeringly, his eyes were full of coldness, and when he saw the study room with the faint fire, he froze for a moment.After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to leave.

Shen Xuhuai's eyes moved slightly, the hand hanging by his side tightened, and he still raised his heel to follow in.

"presumptuous!"

Shen Chong's gaze was shocked: "Are you going to let the Shen family fend for itself?!"

Although he had doubts in his heart for a long time, after hearing the answer with his own ears, Shen Xuhuai still couldn't restrain his inner anger: "Why?"

Shen Xuhuai stood in front of his father's door without knocking for a long time. The envelope in his hand had already been creased by him, and it contained the list that those killers were fighting for tonight.

Shen Xuhuai pursed his lips, stared at his back complicatedly, and said, "Father didn't let me stop the killer who attacked King Jing's Mansion last time, because you also sent dead men to King Jing's Mansion that day, right?"

Jiang Zhou replied: "All were taken away by those killers according to your instructions. It is estimated that they have been handed over to their masters by now."

"It was sent out, but it was robbed halfway. The other party was very skilled. We did not entangle them too much, so we evacuated in time."

"You only know that the Marquis Mansion is glamorous on the surface, but you know how I survived all these years? Since the incident with the Yan family, the late emperor feared the separation of powers, so he began to suppress the major families. end!"

The father and son stood silently, their plain and deep eyes met in the air, and the shadow that fell on Shen Xuhuai's feet seemed to have become a ravine at this moment.

Shen Chong pointed at him angrily: "Did you forget that your surname is Shen? Do you still remember your heir in Dingguohou's Mansion? You disobeyed the emperor's order for Ling Youyao. If His Majesty hadn't remembered the merits of the Shen family, you would think you and I Can you still stand here safe and sound?!"

"You are the most outstanding child of the Shen family in this generation, and everyone has high hopes for you. Are you going to watch the Dingguohou's mansion go downhill?"

Hearing the last sentence, Shen Xuhuai tightened and loosened his ten fingers under the sleeves, and the stubbornness in his heart seemed to be worn away little by little.

After a long stalemate, he didn't say a word, only handed the list to Shen Chong, and left the study.

Shen Chong stared at the crumpled envelope in his hand, without moving it for a long time.
