Chapter 128 She Dare to Threaten the Wen Family
Eunuch Chang looked at the excited emperor and did not respond.
Let the Emperor dream in broad daylight. The palace is always abuzz with one thing or another, never a moment of peace. Let the Emperor simply let his imagination run wild, so he can be happy for a while.
At this time, the serious middle-aged man fell from the beam again.
Eunuch Chang raised his head curiously and looked up.
This man had clearly gone out the door to deliver a letter just now. When did he come back? And he did it so quietly that they didn't even know when he hid in the beam.
"Your Majesty," the man knelt on one knee, his face expressionless, and said, "I have heard something. I wonder if it can help your guess."
"Oh? Tell me."
"I heard that the eldest prince met the eldest daughter of the Shen family and her two maids on his way to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The eldest prince even exchanged a few words with Miss Shen. Later, someone saw the two maids on the most prosperous street in the capital, but Miss Shen was nowhere to be seen..."
When the emperor heard this, his face turned unhappy. "Fu Lizhang, you don't mean to say that the person with extraordinary abilities is Miss Shen, right?"
After saying that, he glanced at him again and said, "Don't let me think that the leader of the Shadow Guards, whom I chose with great difficulty, is a guy who is just making up stories."
The man called Fu Lizhang bowed and said in a loud voice, "I have been ordered by the Emperor to scrutinize everyone he has frequent contact with. Miss Shen is one of them. That's why I ordered people to follow her during those days."
The emperor frowned and said, "Even if your people saw her near the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, and later only saw her maid, and she disappeared, what does this mean?"
Fu Lizhang said, "During these days of investigation, I have heard many stories about Miss Shen from others. Your Majesty, please listen to me tell you everything one by one."
"First, she has martial arts skills, and her martial arts skills are not low."
The emperor looked at him and knew that he could not be lying, but he was shocked.
Fang Yao’s niece actually knows martial arts?
Didn't she grow up in a country farm? Who taught her martial arts?
"She could shatter solid tables and chairs with a single kick, single-handedly beat up Shen Zhaojiang's family of three, and even knock down all the servants in the Shen residence at the same time. After all this, she didn't even breathe a single breath."
"Secondly, her stepmother Zhao's hair was cut off in the middle of the night one day. The person was so elusive that the entire Shen Mansion's guards didn't even notice who did it. Zhao was terrified at the time and said that Miss Shen pinched her neck and cut it, but no one believes it to this day."
His words were so incredible that even Eunuch Chang pricked up his ears and leaned forward to listen carefully.
"Third, a black mastiff has disappeared from Shen Shaokun's yard. It's said that Zhao once intended the black mastiff to harm Miss Shen, but somehow, the mastiff killed the servant who fed it and then disappeared. My subordinates have verified that Miss Shen sent the black mastiff to the Fang family's martial arts training ground, where it was placed with the other two wolfhounds. This shows that Miss Shen is not only not afraid of black mastiffs, but can also make them obey her. Otherwise, how could she have led such a large black mastiff over by herself? It's possible that the servant who was bitten to death was Miss Shen's order."
The emperor coughed and said in a surprised tone, "Just tell the truth, don't make random guesses."
"Yes," Fu Lizhang said, "I will tell you another story. This time, the Second Prince fell into the water at the Shen Mansion. It is said that he waited for Miss Shen on the bridge and even talked to her. But when the Second Prince was later rescued from the lake, no one saw Miss Shen. At that time, everyone thought that the Second Prince was confused by the water and was talking nonsense. After the Second Prince woke up, he probably didn't want to be embarrassed and never mentioned it again. But later, when I led people to check the clothes of the Second Prince and Miss Shen..."
The emperor frowned.
"The clothes were torn in a very regular pattern. They were definitely not scratched by lake bottom weeds or sharp rocks. The marks were clearly caused by someone diving into the water and cutting with a sharp knife. Considering the Second Prince's previous question about where Miss Shen had gone, I am increasingly convinced that Miss Shen is the culprit who caused the Second Prince to fall into the water."
After hearing his words, the emperor clearly disagreed. "You are speaking based on speculation again. If it is really her, I ask you, why did she do this?"
"Because she knew the Second Prince was plotting against her, she took advantage of the situation and dragged in Miss Shen, who had always been unfriendly to her. This is really disgusting to Zhao and Shen Zhaojiang."
The emperor stopped talking.
Fu Lizhang is a meticulous person who can always find the truth from clues. He also speaks directly without exaggeration or concealment. This is why he gave him such an important position as the leader of the Shadow Guard.
Many of the things he said today were too different from his impression of Shen Li, which made him think deeply.
"And just this morning," Fu Lizhang began slowly, "her men carried two corpses from the yard to the Wen family mansion, hung them on the Wen family's gate, and left."
Eunuch Chang stared at Fu Lizhang in disbelief.
Miss Shen has saved so many people, how could she possibly kill someone?
The emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly, staring at Fu Lizhang, and said slowly, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know, it's not an exaggeration."
"What happened to those two corpses?"
"They were Madam Wen's secret guards, stationed at the Shen Residence to monitor Miss Shen," Fu Lizhang said gravely. "I'm not saying these two shouldn't be killed, but I didn't expect Miss Shen to have their bodies hung on the Wen family's gate. She had the nerve to openly threaten Madam Wen. Who would dare to offend the Wen family directly without some skills? But she did, and without mercy."
To be honest, Fu Lizhang actually admires this kind of people.
If Miss Shen really has such great ability, he is actually looking forward to it.
"So, if all of this was done by Miss Shen, then what's the difficulty in slipping a pornographic booklet to Miss Wen? Furthermore, according to my investigation, both Miss Wen and Second Miss Shen have offended Miss Shen. How could it be such a coincidence that they were the ones who suffered misfortune at the Prime Minister's residence, and also at the Shen Mansion banquet?"
Eunuch Chang silently added in his heart, "Unlucky ones include the Second Prince and Shen Shaokun."
Fu Lizhang was about to leave when he remembered something and hurriedly said to the emperor, "I almost forgot to mention that last night, the eldest prince went to Miss Shen's place, and the two of them talked for quite a while in the room..."
The emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him sharply, "Are they the only two in the room?"
"That's not the case. There was a maid inside, and there was no personal relationship between the two of them," Fu Lizhang said quickly, knowing that the emperor had misunderstood. "There were a few people in the courtyard teaching a maid martial arts, and it was this maid who killed Madam Wen's two secret guards. After a while, these people gathered under the window to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. The eldest prince's secret guards even reported them. Judging from the situation, the relationship between them was quite harmonious."
