Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 596

In Shen's mansion, Shen Xingwang got up to practice boxing just after dawn.

As soon as he walked into the yard, a hand stretched out from behind the water tank and grabbed his hem tightly.

"Brother Xingwang~~ help me! Please!" A panicked voice said.

Shen Xingwang hurriedly turned his head and saw that it was Shen Lingling's younger brother, Shen Xiaoshi.

Shen Xiaoshi huddled behind the water tank and shivered, his face and body were covered with blood, and his eyes were full of horror.

"Shen Xiaoshi? Why are you here?" Seeing his appearance, Shen Xingwang was terrified, "Come in with me."

Shen Xingwang brought Shen Xiaoshi into the house and closed the door.

"What happened? Why do you look like this?" Shen Xingwang poured a cup of tea for Shen Xiaoshi and looked at him in surprise.

Shen Xiaoshi was so frightened that he took a big gulp from his teacup in a daze, which made him spit it out again suddenly because it was so hot.

Being scalded like this brought him back to some sanity.

"Killed, Brother Xingwang." Shen Xiaoshi tremblingly held the teacup, "My father, my mother, my brother...they were all killed."

"What?" Shen Xingwang's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, "Why don't you hurry up and report to the police?"

"No, don't report to the official." Shen Xiaoshi dragged Shen Xingwang, "Yes, Prime Minister Zhou sent someone to do it. Reporting to the official is useless."

"Prime Minister Zhou? How is that possible?" Shen Xingwang was inexplicably surprised. Isn't Shen Lingling the aunt of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why did Prime Minister Zhou do such a thing?
"It's really him, I heard their conversation."

"Don't be afraid, what's going on? Tell me first." Shen Xingwang patted Shen Xiaoshi on the shoulder.

Shen Xiaoshi then talked about what happened last night with trepidation.

Sleeping until midnight last night, there was a sudden abnormal noise in the main room where his parents lived.

Shen Xiaoshi and his brother, who were sleeping in the wing room, heard the noise and thought it was a thief, so his brother told Shen Xiaoshi to stay in the room, and he took a stick and went to the main room.

Shen Xiaoshi was worried that the thief would slip away through the back door, so he went around to the backyard to block the door.

When he got to the back door, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Something flowed out from the crack of the door. He touched his hand with blood, and was at a loss for what to do when he heard someone talking inside. He recognized the voice of one of them. Steward Liao next to Prime Minister Zhou.

"They will definitely not let me go, Brother Xingwang, please help me." Shen Xiaoshi knelt down to Shen Xingwang with a plop, and kowtowed several times.

"Get up first." Shen Xingwang called Shen Xiaoshi up, "Why did Prime Minister Zhou kill you? Do you know the reason?"
Shen Xiaoshi thought for a while, "I don't know the details, but my sister was quite proud when she came back a while ago, saying that she is about to make a fortune, Zhou Chenxiang will definitely help her to be his wife, and she will be able to seal the imperial order in the future, listen to her tone , it seems that Prime Minister Zhou has something in his hands."

"I see." Shen Xingwang nodded.

A companion is like a tiger, and it is inevitable that some privacy will be prying into the side of those powerful officials. It is reasonable to be too greedy to lead to such a murderous disaster.

"Brother Xingwang~~ I have no relatives in the capital, only you can save me." Shen Xiaoshi looked at Shen Xingwang pleadingly.Shen Xingwang was originally kind, and he was from a fellow villager, so he really couldn't bear to see death without saving him.

Besides, Shen Lingling's father and brother's three views are still upright. At that time, when Shen Youyou's flavonoid body burst and died, it was Niu who blamed Shen Yu'an, and her father and brother tried their best to persuade her.

But if the one who wanted to kill Shen Xiaoshi was really Prime Minister Zhou, how could he save him? By the way, King Xuan, we can only try King Xuan.

Thinking of this, Shen Xingwang said to Shen Xiaoshi, "They must know that we know each other, so my house is not safe, so hurry up and follow me."

After Shen Xingwang finished speaking, he asked Shen Xiaoshi to change into the servant's clothes, hurried out from the back door of the mansion, and called a carriage to go to Prince Xuan's mansion.

As soon as they left, a few men in black jumped into the courtyard, searched around, and left quietly when they found nothing.In Xuanwang Mansion, Xuanwang Wei Mi was having breakfast when Director Sun came in to report.

"Your Highness, Manager Shen of Tianxia Commercial Bank is seeking an audience outside the residence.

"Hurry up and ask him to come in." King Xuan wondered for a moment.

Now Tianxia Commercial Bank is in charge of him, and Shen Xingwang always reports business matters to him, but they are all resolved in the commercial bank. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to ask for an audience with the palace. Could it be that something important happened?
Feeling a little uneasy, Shen Xingwang rushed in with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

"His Royal Highness, the subordinates have something to report." Shen Xingwang said directly after entering the flower hall, and glanced around.

"You all retreat." King Xuan told everyone to retreat, looking at Shen Xingwang, "What happened?"

Shen Xingwang said to Shen Xiaoshi who was dressed as a servant, "This is His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, if you want to survive, it depends on whether His Royal Highness Xuan can do anything."

Shen Xiaoshi hurriedly knelt down towards Wei Mi, making a few loud noises.

"His Highness King Xuan help me, His Highness King Xuan help me!"

"What's going on?" Wei Mi looked at Shen Xingwang in confusion.

Shen Xingwang hurriedly said, "Return to Your Highness, this is the younger brother of Aunt Shen in the Prime Minister's Mansion. His family was wiped out last night, and he escaped by luck."

"This~~ is there such a thing?" "King Xuan has not heard of it, after all, the life and death of ordinary people like this will never be reported to the palace.

"Shen Xiaoshi, quickly tell His Highness what happened to you, and see if His Highness can save you."

Shen Xiaoshi hurriedly told King Xuan what happened last night in detail, and King Xuan was also at a loss after hearing it.

Aunt Shen took advantage of Prime Minister Zhou~~ What is it that made Prime Minister Zhou so afraid that he insisted on destroying Aunt Shen's entire family?
It seems that this matter should not be a trivial matter. Corruption and bribery? Collusion with Yongsheng Commercial Bank? Or does he have other conspiracy? King Xuan is also a monk Zhanger who can't figure it out.

After thinking about it, he decided to save Shen Xiaoshi first, if there is a chance in the future, maybe he can ask this secret from Aunt Shen.

"Let him stay in my Prince Xuan's mansion for the time being." King Xuan said, "The rest will be decided after I find out the situation."

"Thank you His Royal Highness King Xuan for saving your life." Shen Xiaoshi kowtowed gratefully.

King Xuan's kung fu is not much worse than King Ye's, and he has a group of hidden guards under him, so King Xuan's mansion is safer than King Ye's mansion.

Even if Prime Minister Zhou knew that Shen Xiaoshi was staying in Prince Xuan's mansion, he would not be able to kill him for a while.

After Shen Xiaoshi was settled properly, King Xuan went to the palace to go to court, and Shen Xingwang went to Tianxia Commercial Firm.

As soon as he entered Tianxia Commercial Firm, he heard shopkeeper Li and Zhao Han talking about the extermination of Shen Xiaoshi's family, so Shen Xingwang leaned over to listen.

After hearing it, I found out that after Prime Minister Zhou sent someone to kill Shen Xiaoshi's family, he found Shen Zuorong, a gambler, to act as a scapegoat. This method~~ is really clever.

Besides, King Xuan, after entering the palace, was directly summoned by the emperor into the imperial study.

Seeing King Xuan coming in, Emperor Qi Heng stood up with his crumbling body, distraught.

"I just received a letter from the governor of Tongzhou, saying that something happened to your brother and sister-in-law, and the carriage they were riding fell off a cliff.

You, hurry up and take someone to Tongzhou to have a look~~"
