In fact, although Shen Qingyun released the news that Song Ying was treating him harshly, most people after hearing the bad comments about him only thought it was Shen Qingyun who was making things difficult for Song Ying. Song Ying couldn't bear it, so she drove Shen Qingyun away. I went to Zhuangzi outside the city.
Song Ying has been married for so long and has always been law-abiding. Even if Shen Qingyun really has evidence to prove that she bribed the bandits, not many people will believe it.
Everyone would only think that it was Shen Qingyun who took the opportunity to slander him as Yang Cong said.
Of course, these are all ifs.
Shen Qingyun has no evidence, and Song Ying also feels guilty. If the official can't find anything new, this matter will soon go unsolved.
Can they find out?
Of course we can't find out.
In this regard, Yang Cong is full of confidence.
In Su Chengwang's small courtyard, Shen Qingyun and Su Chengwang sat opposite each other.
"I heard that Xiayang Village was robbed by strongmen last night?"
Shen Qingyun replied: "It's just a few blind bandits who bumped into Lao Zhangtou's hands, killed a few, and turned the rest over to the government."
"Is anyone hurt?"
"A few old brothers were injured, and the injuries were serious, but fortunately their lives were not affected."
Su Chengwang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I took the first step, otherwise if I were to meet you, I would probably lose this old bone."
"Look what you said, they are just a few petty thieves. Where do they have the courage to touch you?"
Su Chengwang shook his head when he heard this.
"I heard that someone spent money behind these strong men?"
Shen Qingyun shrugged, "You are well-informed. Since you know everything, why are you asking me?"
"You kid..." Su Chengwang smiled and shook his head.
"Since someone is buying it, there should be a goal. Is it to rob something or to kill someone?"
Shen Qingyun sighed softly: "Since you also have an idea in your heart, why bother to take any detours?"
Su Chengwang chuckled and said, "It seems that you also know what's going on."
"This is natural." Shen Qingyun nodded, "Yesterday's wedding banquet was attended by ordinary villagers. These people could not offend anyone. Although the wealth at the wedding banquet was large, it was not of much value. It was not worth five hundred taels, so , these robbers were paid to kill, but the robbery was used to cover up others' eyes.
The people behind it obviously don’t want people to speculate too much. "
"What are you speculating on?" Su Chengwang raised his eyebrows.
"Of course it is their real target, which is... me." Shen Qingyun pointed at himself, "Although there were many people here yesterday, I am afraid that no one except me is worth so much five hundred taels of silver."
"You can think of this quickly, which can be considered a quick thinking." Su Chengwang glanced at Shen Qingyun appreciatively.
The key to this matter is not difficult to understand, but being able to think clearly so quickly is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
Shen Qingyun hummed, and then said: "Actually, the person who hired someone to kill me is quite good at planning."
"How can I see it?"
Shen Qingyun explained: "This person was a bandit from Heifengzhai who was contacted through a gangster named Yang San in Liangzhou City. He did not show up in person. Naturally, these strong men did not know this person's identity, and Yang San was killed again." Mouth, the only witness is gone.
Then no matter whether things succeed or fail, it will not affect him. Isn't this smart? "
"What you said is true." Su Chengwang also nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Moreover, these strong men are fierce and come and go like the wind. If they are ordinary people, they can only let them massacre. It is impossible to counterattack. As long as they are not killed If they are captured alive, then no one will know that they are being bribed."
"Not only that, but besides these, this guy is probably a complete miser."
"Oh?" Su Chengwang was a little surprised, "How can you see this?"
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Think about it, who am I? Prince Sinan Bo, am I the most noble in the entire Liangzhou City?"
If I die in their hands, my father will definitely clean up all the bandits and thieves within a hundred miles. If I don't die, I will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. I will definitely ask the government to crack down. No matter what the situation, these strong men They all had to flee. And their contact person with the person behind the scenes, Yang San, died again, which meant that they had no way to contact him again, and they would not be able to get the two thousand taels promised afterwards.
This bitch is quite shrewd. Regardless of success or failure, these two thousand taels are empty words and he has no intention of giving them at all. "
Su Chengwang was speechless, he had never expected this.
In other words, he won't even think about it.
"As the saying goes, you can see the cuteness by seeing the subtle things, and know the end by seeing the end. It's really amazing that you can see it so clearly." Su Chengwang said with a smile: "Even at your age, I can't be as meticulous and quick-thinking as you. "
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
"Isn't it obvious enough that I praised you?"
"hehe..."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Although there is no evidence, to harm you like this, I must have a deep hatred against you. Do you know who you have offended?"
Shen Qingyun shrugged and said: "How do I know this? I have offended too many people. Some people want to skin me and cramp me, eat my flesh and sleep on my skin."
"You bastard, you are fooling around again." Su Chengwang shook his head slightly.
Shen Qingyun obviously wanted to avoid this topic, so Su Chengwang stopped asking further questions.
Sometimes, not saying it is more certain than saying it.
There must be only one person who can make Shen Qingyun remain silent, right?
"correct..."
Shen Qingyun took out the wine written by Su Chengwang yesterday from his arms and spread it on the table.
Su Chengwang was stunned when he saw this: "Why did you send it back again? Is it because you are not satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Shen Qingyun said quickly: "I am flattered that you are always willing to give me words."
"Then what are you...?"
Shen Qingyun chuckled, rubbed his hands and said: "This is not the first time you have given me calligraphy as a gift. Of course I have to keep it well. Making copybooks is such a waste. I thought about framing it and hanging it on my practice In the study of the words, so that I can see them all the time, and can also encourage me..."
"Stop..." Su Chengwang stopped Shen Qingyun's nonsense, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Shen Qingyun bowed and held his hands in his hands and said: "Since it is going to be framed and preserved, I would also like to ask the old man to put a payment and seal it."
"This is not easy." Su Chengwang smiled slightly, turned to the old servant beside him and said: "Go to the study and get my seal."
"yes."
When Shen Qingyun saw this, he suddenly smiled.
Not long after, the old servant came back, and there were more than a dozen seals in his hand on the tray.
Su Chengwang picked one up casually, dipped it in some ink pad, and was about to cover it, but suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qingyun's expectant eyes froze, and he looked up at Su Chengwang, only to see Su Chengwang looking at him with a smile.
"You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
Su Chengwang chuckled, "You almost fell into your trap, how dare you set a trap for me."
"That's true..." Shen Qingyun smiled awkwardly, "What tricks can I lay on you?"
Seals are generally divided into two types: official seals and private seals, but no matter what kind of seal it is, the identity of the owner is engraved.
Either an official position or title, or a name.
Of course, Shen Qingyun didn't just want Su Chengwang's signature. He also wanted to know Su Chengwang's identity through this signature.
Su Chengwang put the seal in his hand back on the tray, looked back and forth among the dozen seals, and finally selected another small seal.
"Since I have agreed, of course I will not go back on it."
As he said that, Su Chengwang covered the lower right corner heavily.
Shen Qingyun was immediately overjoyed when he saw this and hurriedly came forward.
Seeing the ink paste clearly showing its appearance, Shen Qingyun tried hard to identify it and murmured: "Mr. Wang...shan...?"
Su Chengwang smiled slightly and said: "I've given you the clue. If you want to know my identity, it depends on whether you have the ability."
Shen Qingyun felt as if he had found a treasure, so he carefully put it away.
"Don't worry, of course I will do my best."
"hehe..."
At this time, Zhong Qi walked in from outside the courtyard, "Your Majesty, Lao Zhangtou sent someone over, saying that someone from the mansion is looking for the Crown Prince."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun frowned, then said goodbye to Su Chengwang, "Then I'll leave first."
Su Chengwang nodded, and then said: "You are the eldest son of the Shen family, and the lintel of the Shen family depends on you for support, but you still have to leave room for things."
Shen Qingyun grinned when he heard this. Of course he understood what Su Chengwang meant.
"I have retreated here, and there is already a lot of land left."
Say it, Shen Qingyun nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Back at Zhuangzi, people from Song Ying's faction were waiting.
Shen Qingyun recognized her as Song Ying's personal maid.
"See Crown Prince."
"Yes." Shen Qingyun responded and sat down, "Why did my aunt send you here?"
The maid said: "The government sent someone to inform the palace. I heard that the prince was attacked last night. Madam was very worried and sent a servant to come and see the prince."
Worry?
Are you worried that I'm not dead?
Shen Qingyun sneered in his heart.
If they were really worried, they wouldn't send just one person.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, auntie."
The maid said: "Madam also asked the slave to ask the prince, when will he return to the mansion?"
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Auntie, does she really want me to go back?"
"Madam said that the prince can live wherever he wants. If the prince doesn't want to come back, then he shouldn't come back."
That's what I said, but don't believe it. It's best if you never come back.
Shen Qingyun said humbly: "You go back and tell your aunt that I live quite comfortably here, so that she can stay in the house to raise the baby with peace of mind."
"This slave knows."
The maid took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeves and said, "Zhuangzi is not as good as the uncle's house after all. Madam ordered the slave to bring the money, and she also asked the prince not to treat her badly."
"Of course."
Shen Qingyun would certainly not refuse anyone who came with a banknote.
"In that case, that slave will leave."
"Yes." Shen Qingyun put away the banknotes, but said softly behind the maid: "Don't forget to tell your aunt that as long as the money is spent on yourself, whether it is food, drink, whoring or gambling, it is always spent by yourself, but It would be foolish to give away your money to others."
The maid froze for a moment, then turned her head and saluted Shen Qingyun, "I obey, my slave."
