All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 38 He's Too Fierce
Hearing this, Chu Yan's expression softened slightly.

The attitude towards talent is somewhat apologetic.

Mu Huai'an knew the situation in Shen Lingxi's family very well, "That's why you heard about the embroidered handkerchief from Zhao Afeng, so you felt strange, and then today's situation happened?"

Shen Lingxi nodded.

Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan looked at each other, and asked again, "What do you want me to do by telling me this?"

"If Liu Si really died because of this embroidered handkerchief, it would be the same as the cause of death of the second uncle of the coffin shop. In addition to the little eunuch who collected the corpse of A Weng, this embroidered picture has already involved three lives. I am afraid there is something else behind it. .”

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes and looked at him, "I am the only one who knows embroidery skills, and Shen Liang will definitely attack me. Using me as bait, we can find out the secret behind Shen Lianghe's embroidery and bring him to justice."

"Why bother." Mu Huai'an waved his hand, "He's just a white man, find an excuse to arrest him and interrogate him in Beiya. No matter what secrets he has, keep him and spit it out."

Beiya is the yamen of the embroidered clothes envoy.

This was said by him, as if he was not the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but the commander of Xiuyi.

Chu Yan glanced at him, pursed his lips and remained silent.

It's a tacit consent to his rhetoric.

"What if Shen Liang is just a pawn?"

Shen Lingxi looked at the two of them, "Shen Liang put all his efforts into murdering the idlers of the Marquis Mansion instead of doing it, what is he trying to do? Could it be like my second uncle in the coffin shop, who wants to exchange embroidered handkerchiefs for rewards on the black market? Is he short of this money? I'm afraid there are people behind him."

"If the embroiderer only arrests him and scares the snake, the matter will only end with him. If someone instigates behind the scenes, the people behind the scenes will continue to get away with it. I am afraid that the embroidery will involve more lives."

Even Liu Si, a dead soul who followed Shen Liang closely at [-] o'clock, didn't find any clues.

The embroidered clothes envoy may not be able to judge.

Shen Lingxi wanted to avenge Ah Weng and the coffin shop's second uncle, so he had to uproot the person behind the embroidered handkerchief.

What's more, that embroidered picture also involved what she planned in her heart.

"What do you want?" Chu Yan asked directly.

Shen Lingxi didn't look at him, and only said to Mu Huai'an: "Just now daddy told you to take me and my fourth sister to the Temple of Longevity to visit the incense fair tomorrow. The Temple of Longevity happens to be Shen Liang's territory. I pretended to be an order and lured him to take action. You send someone to protect me secretly and obey my order. You solve the case and I take revenge, how about it?"

Mu Huai'an responded generously, "I'll give you ten hidden guards, all of whom are the most powerful in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, and they will definitely keep you unscathed."

Chu Yan poured cold water on him mercilessly, "The last time Zhao Afeng was killed, the other party colluded with Yinyue Pavilion and sent more than a dozen people in black. If they want to take away the prostitute of the Xuanping Hou Mansion alive, how many people do you think the other party will send?" Come?"

Mu Huai'an looked slightly stagnant.

"Then... twenty?" He wondered, "Xuan Pinghou is also the commander of the Habayashi Army, and he will definitely send guards. Twenty hidden guards... should be enough."

"What if the inside should cooperate with the outside?" Chu Yan pointedly said: "If Shen Ji's guards are effective, Liu Si can still be thrown into the well?"

Mu Huaian was speechless.

"I'll go." Chu Yan said.

Mu Huaian:? ? ?

He was about to refuse, when he heard Shen Lingxi categorically deny: "He can't."

Mu Huai'an almost didn't laugh out loud, "Why? His kung fu is actually pretty good."

Just "not bad"?
Chu Yan gave him a cool look, his eyes were like knives.

"It's too fierce." Shen Lingxi lowered her head halfway, pretending to be terrified, "Just now he was fierce to me, I dare not order him."

Chu Yan: ...

Mu Huai'an suppressed his smile, and patted his chest, "I'm the one with high martial arts skills, you can order me around as you like, let me go east, I will never go west, how about it?"

Shen Lingxi: "You can't either."

Chu Yan snorted lightly.

Mu Huai'an's smile froze at the corner of his lips, "Why?"

"If you follow, how can I place an order? How can I lure the other party?" Shen Lingxi asked back, "What's more, you have to go outside to meet him."

makes sense.

Mu Huai'an felt a little troubled.You have to find someone who is strong in martial arts and has a good brain, so that you can be sure of everything.

"Ask Ning Liulang if he is willing." Shen Lingxi looked at Mu Huai'an and said seriously: "He looks weaker, even if he is next to me, he will not attract suspicion. Last time in Fu'an Hall, he kindly saved me , but I misunderstood that he used me to block the blood, so I deliberately wiped his blood all over, and he didn't show up at Yaoniang's funeral, so there must be something wrong... I also want to express my humility to him face to face."

Chu Yan's black pupils were slightly deep, and this made him a little surprised.

His purpose of approaching Shen Lingxi was not pure.

That day in Fu'an Hall, in order to test her, he deliberately put her in danger.

It was indeed his unintentional mistake to use her to block the blood, and he had nothing to say when he was revenged by her.

It's just that he didn't expect that under such circumstances, Shen Lingxi would choose to let "Ning Liulang" protect her, and even wanted to apologize to him...

Mu Huai'an frowned, feeling a little sour, "Don't be too honest, my cousin is not a kind person, be careful that one day he eats up all your bones, and you will be miserable."

Shen Lingxi's expression was full of complete trust in "Ning Liulang".

"Ning Liulang is a gentleman. If an honest gentleman is not a good person, then there is nothing in this world that can be trusted." She said seriously.

The fanaticism in Shen Liang's eyes must be related to power.

Then the people behind him are either rich or noble.

What a joke, this kind of one-pot thing, must be tied to the embroidered clothes to make a move, in order to completely destroy the other party.

Otherwise, wouldn't her efforts be in vain.

It doesn't cost money to praise others, she can afford it.

Shen Lingxi's high evaluation of "Ning Liulang" made Chu Yan feel ashamed.

Not to mention Mu Huai'an.

Based on Mu Huai'an's understanding of Shen Lingxi, when she spared no effort to praise someone, it was the beginning of that person's bad luck.

For a moment, he didn't know which side he should sympathize with between these two people.

"Since you chose him, I believe he will agree." Mu Huai'an didn't mind pushing his brother again, "Don't worry, I will tell him to let him listen to you. If he doesn't listen to you, you will Tell me, I will find you a better and more powerful hidden guard at any time."

Chu Yan: ...

Shen Lingxi smiled and nodded.

*
At night, the Songzhuyuan is quiet.

The old ancestor of the Shen family was in a good mood, rewarded him with copper coins, and asked the mother in charge to take the servants in the courtyard to the kitchen for a drink.

Cuiyuan held the lantern and led the second master Shen Liang to the ancestor's room.

As soon as Shen Liang entered the room, he saw a white porcelain teacup flying towards him.

He subconsciously wanted to turn sideways to avoid it, but he thought of something and barely stopped.

The teacup slammed on him hard, and with a "crash", it shattered all over the ground.

"Bastard!" The ancestor pointed at him angrily, "Just because of that picture, you actually killed someone. How many lives do you have to seek skin from a tiger?"

　Thank you for your votes, thank you Wuwen Xidong for your reward, okay~
