The emperor's intention is to let Xiao Jing go to Nanwu Kingdom to participate in the Nanwu Kingdom's national celebration.
Logically speaking, if you want to participate in a neighboring country's celebration or birthday celebration, you must either send a special envoy to go there, or send a prince to go there.
But this time, the emperor actually asked Xiao Jingzhi to go there in person. What was the unknown purpose?
Here, as soon as Shen Yunchu returned to Wangyue Pavilion from Linxian County, he heard from Ding Sheng that Master Zhang had an accident while escorting Huang Zhongwei and Wei Yuan back to the capital.
"As expected of King Qi, he will not give them a chance to speak."
When Shen Yunshu saw Mr. Zhang taking Huang Zhongwei and Wei Yuan away yesterday, he felt that last night would not be peaceful.
Sure enough, something happened.
"Master doesn't seem surprised." Ding Sheng saw that Shen Yunshu didn't look moved at all.
Shen Yunshu sat down and said, "Actually, it is more beneficial to us if they are dead."
If they were allowed to enter the capital safely, there might be a way for them to survive, but if Shen Yunshu did it himself, he would also fall into someone else's trap.
So King Qi took it upon himself to clean up the house, which also reduced some unnecessary trouble for them.
In the eyes of outsiders, they will also know that Shen Yunshu's methods of doing things will not be merciful.
Ding Sheng was still worried, "But Mr. Zhang is also dead. I believe the court will investigate this matter strictly."
"Yes, there is no need for King Qi to attack Lord Zhang." Shen Yunshu continued to wonder.
Could it be that Mr. Zhang was killed and silenced only after he saw the true face of the assassin last night?
But this reason is too far-fetched.
"Even if the court investigates strictly, it has nothing to do with us. This matter is over."
Now it seems that Mr. Zhang may not be so simple, otherwise he would not have taken his life as well.
Ding Sheng nodded in agreement, "Master is still thoughtful."
At this time, Ding Sheng's men Erhu came to report, "The red pine wood has set off safely and should be delivered to the customer tomorrow."
"I know, go down."
After Ding Sheng sent the two tigers away, he said to Shen Yunshu: "Fortunately, the master vented his anger on Boss He in advance, otherwise Boss He would have made a big fuss due to his temper."
There was no red pine wood on the ship that capsized yesterday, which meant that they had made a disguise to blow up Wei Yuan.
Although the real red pine wood set off with the ship yesterday, it went to another place and circled around, and will not arrive in Linxian until tomorrow.
"You did a good job in this matter. Without your cooperation, we would not have been able to find Wei Yuan and Huang Zhongwei so smoothly."
Shen Yunshu has always known how to distinguish rewards and punishments, "This is the key to the house in Chengbei Lane."
Ding Sheng was still a little confused when he saw the key handed to him, "Master, what does this mean?"
Shen Yunshu directly pushed the key into his hand, "What I mean is that from now on, the house in Chengbei Lane belongs to you."
"How can the young man take the master's property? The young man just did his duty. The young man can't take the master's things."
Shen Yunshu did not accept the key handed back by Ding Sheng, "Although you are an orphan, you will have a sense of belonging if you have a home of your own. You don't want to stay here for one night today and make do somewhere else tomorrow." It’s late.”
She understood that Ding Sheng had been traveling around with Uncle An all these years, and there was no place of his own.
"But the little one didn't do anything for the master, so the master sent the little one out of the house like this."
Ding Sheng just felt that he had not done enough to be qualified to take over Shen Yunshu's house.
"Does it mean that you have to give your life for me to be called enough?" Shen Yunshu smiled at Ding Sheng, "There are still many things that you will need to do in the future, so don't have any burden in your heart."
Seeing that Ding Sheng was so moved, Shen Yunjue didn't know what to say, and said again: "If you have a home, you will have a family."
Perhaps it was because of hearing Shen Yunshu's words that Ding Sheng, a grown man, couldn't help but cry.
He has been alone since he was a child. Later, when he met Liu Gong and did business with Liu Gong and Uncle An, he felt that he was no longer alone.
But now Shen Yunshu's words touched him deeply. In fact, deep down in his heart, he also hoped to have a place where he could go back to anytime.
Thinking of this, Ding Sheng knelt down directly to Shen Yunshu, "From now on, I am willing to follow the master. Whatever the master asks me to do, I will do whatever the master asks me to do."
Shen Yunshu quickly pulled Ding Sheng up, "Just do business with me well, and you have to live well."
Ding Sheng has great accomplishments in business and a quick mind, so he will be a good helper for her.
"Also, don't call me master in the future. You are not my slave."
"The eldest lady." Ding Sheng thought for a moment and followed Uncle An and the others in calling Shen Yunshu the eldest lady.
Shen Yunshu smiled slightly and said, "Go back and take a look at the house."
Ding Sheng bowed to Shen Yunshu and left.
But just after leaving Wangyue Pavilion, he turned back and said, "Miss, Lord Mo of Dali Temple is here."
Shen Yunshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Mo, please come in."
After Master Mo was invited in, he looked around at Wangyue Pavilion, "I didn't expect that the huge Wangyue Pavilion would now become Liu's property."
In the early days of Wangyue Pavilion, Mr. Liu only invested a small amount of money in it. But later, something happened to the original boss, so Mr. Liu paid for Wangyue Pavilion.
Now all this has become Shen Yunshu's thing.
"I believe that Mr. Mo's visit this time is not about these trivial matters." Shen Yunshu said with a smile.
Mr. Mo smiled and said, "I remember that I hugged the eldest lady when she was young, but in the blink of an eye, the eldest lady has already taken charge of her own business."
More than ten years ago, Mr. Mo and Shen Chenghai were classmates and good friends, and their relationship was no less than that between Liu Gong and Qin Zhangyuan.
However, as the two of them were promoted in the court and their respective positions changed, their relationship gradually grew apart.
Lord Mo was very pleased to see Shen Yunshu now, "Actually, my visit this time is not a big deal. I just received a complaint from King Qi, and I want to find out something from the eldest lady."
King Qi sued?
It seemed that King Qi had already suspected Shen Yunshu.
Shen Yunshu was very cooperative and said, "You ask."
"Did Miss Shen go to Xiangsefang on the night when the Crown Prince and Young Master Yang had the accident?" Lord Mo looked at Shen Yunshu and asked.
Shen Yunshu didn't hesitate at all, "Been there."
This answer actually made Mr. Mo frown, "But as far as I know, the War King and the eldest lady were in Yanyu Tower that day."
Chen Yunshu was startled.
Could it be that Xiao Jingzhi told this lie again to prevent others from finding out about her?
