The devil is coming, please be careful

Chapter 259
He was displeased, and the gloom on Xuanming's face became even worse. He couldn't help but sneer, "Innocence? What I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, can it be false? Or is Patriarch Shen questioning me?"

Shen Qingqiu lowered his eyes, "I dare not."

The corner of Xuanming's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, "Don't you dare? I can't help but wonder if Shen Minmin dared to do that, is there someone behind the scenes to instigate or even add fuel to the flames?"

These words are a bit sharp, but anyone with a little brain can understand that Xuanming is saying that Shen Qingqiu instigated Min Xing to collude with thieves to assassinate the emperor behind the scenes, and it can even be said that it was Shen Qingqiu who ordered people to assassinate the emperor.

Shen Qingqiu frowned slightly when he heard this, "I don't understand what the emperor means."

Whether it is true or false, no one is a fool.

Xuanming was furious: "Come here, take down all the members of the Shen family!" He didn't even intend to give Shen Qingqiu a chance to defend himself.

That's right, assassinating the Son of Heaven is a big deal. I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one. This is the principle.

Shen Qingqiu suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with a complex and extremely complex look, there was unwillingness, anger, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, making him almost crazy.

Shen Aotian looked at the imperial guards surrounded by Hulala, drew out his sword and made a defensive posture, "I see which of you dares!"

The dignified eldest son of the Shen family, the future head of the Shen family, is also very scary when he gets angry. The guards who surrounded him looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one was the first to step forward.

Seeing this scene, Xuanming's expression became more and more sinister, and he shouted sharply: "Shen Aotian, you are going to rebel!"

Shen Aotian's face was rebellious, and he snorted coldly, "Don't dare!"

Xuan Ming stared at Shen Aotian heavily, and after a while, he sneered, "Don't dare? I think you are very courageous." Then he shouted at the hesitant imperial guards, "Take him down!"

The emperor was furious, and now, those imperial guards who were hesitant to move forward could no longer care about other things, and they all showed their weapons and attacked forward.

Shen Aotian naturally wants to resist, he is different from Shen Qingqiu, in his heart, he doesn't take the imperial power very seriously, it's more about the morality of the world, since Xuanming is not benevolent first, then don't blame him for being unrighteous.

It's a pity that before Shen Aotian could make a move, Shen Qingqiu grabbed his wrist and scolded: "Stop!"

Shen Aotian was puzzled, anxiously said: "Father?"

Shen Qingqiu ignored Shen Aotian, just turned his head to look at Xuanming, took the initiative to untie the weapon on his body, and made it clear that he was ready to catch.

Shen Aotian was very unconvinced, "Father, what are you doing? With our Shen family, are you afraid that you won't be able to break a bloody road?"

Shen Qingqiu stared at Shen Aotian disapprovingly, he naturally understood what his son meant, but, even if he escaped today, what about the Shen family far away in Qingzhou?
Could it be that the whole world is the king's land, and is it possible that the Shen family will be allowed to hide in Tibet for the rest of their lives?That would really be in line with Xuanming's wishes.

Shen Aotian couldn't think of such a deep-seated problem, but in the end he didn't want to go against Shen Qingqiu's intentions, so he had to hold the sword in his hand unwillingly, and was reluctant to let it go for a long time.

Shen Qingqiu took the lead and knelt down, and the rest of the Shen family members naturally knelt down together when they saw it, but Shen Aotian was still standing there with his head held high.

Looking at the Shen family who were kneeling on the ground, Shen Aotian's face was ashen, the sword in his hand was clenched tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his hand were protruding.
