"What?"
Suddenly, everyone in the room looked at him.
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Shen, what evidence did you find?"
When Song Huixin heard this, he was in a daze for a moment, his eyes fixed on Shen Ji.
Shen Ji nodded and looked sideways at the man beside him.
When the man saw this, he understood immediately, got up and walked out, leaving the place for the three of them.
Seeing the man leave, Shen Ji calmed down, placed the cloth bag offered by the man on the table, pulled open the knot, and revealed the broken arrow inside.
"This was taken from General Song." Shen Ji held the second half of the arrow and said slowly, "There is a line of words engraved on the tail of this arrow, which is a short Buddhist scripture."
Xie Li's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Based on this alone, can you identify the person behind the scenes?"
Shen Ji held the tail of the arrow and spoke indifferently, "I once heard from the fourth prince that there is some knowledge in making arrows in the palace. The Holy Lord believed in his orders and did not want to bear the blood debt, so he ordered someone to carve a Buddhist scripture on the tail of the arrow."
"This Buddhist sutra was chosen carefully, not to save the dead, but to let the souls of the dead fly away and never enter reincarnation." Shen Ji sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm, "He was worried that he had committed too many sins, for fear that the dead would Enter reincarnation with the memory and kill him again."
"You mean..." Xie Li's eyes widened in disbelief, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared, "The person who attacked my father-in-law... is the emperor."
Xie Li's eyes were blazing and his tone was affirmative.
"It seems that you have figured it out yourself." Shen Ji put down the nock of his arrow and looked pitiful. "The fourth prince accidentally learned about this matter. No one knows about it except him and the emperor's confidants."
"So..." Song Huixin waited for a long time before finding his voice. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was trembling, "My father... died at the hands of his most loyal king. ?”
After saying this, Song Huixin was deeply hit, crying and laughing, looking a little crazy.
Xie Li couldn't bear to see her, so he pressed her little head into his arms and looked at Shen Ji opposite, with firm eyes, "Brother Shen, please help me!"
"How do you want me to help?" Shen Ji frowned, feeling very sorry for Song Fei's death in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "If I can do my little bit, I won't shirk it."
Xie Li's face turned a little pale, and he was thinking carefully about the solution in his mind. He hugged Song Huixin's fingertips so hard that they turned white.
"Leverage your strength to gain strength."
A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and the next moment, the door was pushed open again, and Fang Xu's gorgeous face broke into everyone's sight.
"Mother?" Xie Li looked surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Such a big thing happened, why do you still want to hide it from me!" Fang Xu looked worried and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Shen Ji's face.
Shen Ji met her eyes, his body was shaken, he lowered his head angrily, not daring to say a word.
"Mother..." Song Huixin couldn't help crying. She looked at Fang Xu with tearful eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I have no family anymore..."
Looking at her like this, Fang Xu felt distressed in his eyes. He quickly walked to her side, raised his hand to lift the helpless Song Huixin, led her to a chair, and coaxed her softly, "Silly girl, we are not you. family?"
"Your father is gone but we are still here. You are not a child without a family." Fang Xu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said softly, "General Song died tragically. You must cheer up. If you fall, Who will avenge him?"
When Fang Xu arrived, Song Huixin's cries gradually weakened, and she also grasped some hope in her heart.
Mother is right, only she... can avenge father and eldest brother!
"General Song died tragically. The Yongcheng Marquis must not leave it alone." Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at the men in the room and lowered his voice, "No matter what, he must pay with his blood."
Xie Li stood up, looked at Fang Xu steadily, and whispered, "What is the purpose of what mother just said about using strength to fight?"
Fang Xu looked at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you capable of bringing down the emperor?"
Xie Li looked blank and couldn't answer for a moment.
"Madam, if you have any high opinions, you might as well tell her directly." Shen Ji said calmly, as if he was asking for advice humbly.
Fang Xu secretly glared at him and explained patiently, "When your opponent's level is several times higher than yours, you would be a fool to blindly attack."
"Now, the only way to go is to rely on strength." Fang Xu lowered his face and said calmly, "Just because one of you can't do it doesn't mean that thousands of you can't do it."
After hearing her words, Shen Ji and Xie Li both fell silent.
Fang Xu pinched the bridge of his nose, as if he thought they were too honest, so he went straight to the point.
"Master Hou once had a subordinate named Fu Rong. He was honest and extremely loyal. Now he is a blacksmith. I sent someone to find him and ask him to make exactly the same arrow feathers."
"You send people to take these arrow feathers and assassinate the fourth prince."
"Four...fourth prince?"
Xie Li was stunned and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine his mother was selling in this gourd.
Shen Ji's mind suddenly moved, and after Fang Xu's guidance, he suddenly became enlightened, and his eyes looking at her became a little brighter.
"Yes, it's the Fourth Prince." Fang Xu hugged Song Huixin and patted her shoulder gently with his palms. She looked like a loving mother, but the words she spoke made people feel like falling into an ice cellar. "The only one who can kill me is His children.”
"You don't have to kill him, you just need to let him discover the mystery of the arrow tail." Fang Xu said with a murderous look in his eyes and a serious tone.
"Once he thinks that his biological father is going to kill him, he will definitely tell the queen and you gang members. By then, if the Zhu family joins forces with you, the chance of winning will naturally be greater. Besides... we still have half the armored army in hand."
"What's the use of just guarding against my brother all day long? It's better to cut through the mess quickly and take that position directly." Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips coldly, "Rebellion is much faster than succession."
The light in Xie Li's eyes became more and more intense, and a hint of excitement surged in his heart, "What mother said is true."
"It's better to shoot a few arrows at each prince and turn him upside down." Shen Ji smiled and looked calm and natural, "It just so happens that the eldest prince hasn't left the capital yet, but he has long been planning to rebel... Why don't we take a good use?"
Fang Xu looked at him with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You can draw inferences from one example."
The corners of Shen Ji's lips twitched slightly, and his smile became much gentler, "My wife taught me well."
"That's settled the matter. I'll send someone to invite Fu Rong." Fang Xu waved his hand, looked down at Song Huixin, and said in a softer tone, "Huixin, you have to go back to the house and take a rest. ?”
Song Huixin shook his head, his expression already numb, like an empty shell, "Mother, I want to go back to the General's Mansion. There are still many armored soldiers waiting for me there." (End of Chapter)
