After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

General Shen’s youngest son, Shen Zhi, has been very troubled recently because he has been entangled with someone, and he can’t get rid of him no matter what!

Uh... okay!

In fact, Shen Zhi didn't have the heart to drive the other person away!

The story begins a few months ago, when General Liang’s wife, Chen, passed away.

"Shen Zhi, I give you the highest authority. Find out why Chen died!"

Liang Shengrui didn't believe it. He just went out to fight a battle and captured a city.

His first wife, who had been staying in the rear camp, suddenly died of illness, and his eldest son Liang Jingchen was almost killed. Liang Shengrui would never believe that there was no conspiracy or calculation!

"Yes, I obey your command!"

Although Shen Zhi just turned 22 this year, he has already officially taken charge of all secret agents and intelligence. All the spies in the cities captured by the Liang army were arranged by him.

If Shen Zhi was to say who was the most suspicious, the first person he thought of was Madam Chen's younger sister, Xiao Chen. According to legend, the person that his lord, General Liang, really wanted to marry was Xiao Chen!

"Go keep an eye on the Chen family!"

Shen Zhi walked out of Liang Shengrui's yard, slowed down his pace, glanced sideways at the big tree next to him, and whispered.

However, no one nearby responded to Shen Zhi, and Shen Zhi didn't care at all. He left the place without stopping.

After Shen Zhi walked away, a nimble man in black flashed across the treetops, and the direction he left was the Chen family!

Liang Shengrui ordered that Chen's coffin be temporarily placed in a cave in the back mountain of the camp. He only set up a mourning hall but did not hold a funeral or bury her.

All the old men who had followed Liang Shengrui to conquer the world knew about this matter. The lord was planning to bury Chen's coffin directly in the Daliang royal cemetery after the Liang army entered the capital.

Recently, the Chen family seemed to have closed their doors to visitors because of Chen's death. They were very low-key and a little cautious, but Shen Zhi always felt that something was wrong.

The lord has not yet become emperor, and Chen is not the empress. An unpopular married woman dies, and the Chen family closes their doors to visitors and behaves like a decent person?

This is completely different from the Chen family's previous ostentatious behavior. Either they have great ambitions, or there is another hidden secret.

It was late at night and Shen Zhi, holding a lamp, walked out of the camp alone and headed towards the back mountain.

There were soldiers patrolling at the foot of the mountain. Shen Zhi showed his token and was allowed to enter the mountain. As he walked up the mountain, the closer he got to the cave where Chen's body was placed, the more patrolling soldiers he saw.

"Stop! You can't go any further!"

Shen Zhi handed over his token again, but was waved away by the other party, and the other party's tone became even colder.

"Unless there is a written order from the Lord, no one is allowed to go into the cave again!"

Shen Zhi's expression was a little surprised. He looked down at the token in his hand, then put it away and turned to walk down the mountain!

The moment Shen Zhi turned around, he glanced towards the top of the mountain, and then his figure paused!

【Someone! 】

Although it was just a very quick flash just now, Shen Zhi could confirm that it was indeed a person!

Originally, Shen Zhi just couldn't sleep, so he wanted to take a walk in the back mountain and think about how to investigate the cause of Chen's death.

After being stopped, Shen Zhi was about to turn around and go back: "Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry!"

Shen Zhi turned around and walked down the mountain. He realized that he was out of the guards' sight. He lowered his head to blow out the oil lamp in his hand, and disappeared into the forest in a flash.

Shen Zhi avoided the guards all the way and kept observing the whereabouts of the man in black. Finally, the man in black stopped moving!

[The cave is broken!]

After Shen Zhi confirmed that the man in black had actually entered the cave where Madam Chen's body was kept, he immediately sprinted to the top of the mountain with all his strength, not fearing at all of being discovered by the guards.

If he wasn't afraid of scaring away the man in black, Shen Zhi would have shouted loudly for the guards to come and surround the man in black together.

However, this person was able to avoid all the guards along the way, which shows that he has quite good martial arts skills, so the blockade by ordinary soldiers may not be effective.

However, the closer to the top of the mountain, the fewer guards there are at the cave entrance, perhaps because they don't want to disturb Mrs. Chen's peace and quiet.

Shen Zhi had completely slowed down, and tried to walk as lightly as possible as he approached the cave entrance. Finally, Shen Zhi could see the situation inside the cave clearly.

Then... Shen Zhi was a little dumbfounded!

Judging from the figure, the other person is a young woman, and she is kneeling in front of the coffin!

[This is... worshipping Madam Chen! This person is quite skilled, and he is worshipping Madam Chen at this time...]

The more Shen Zhi thought about it, the more confused he became. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that his feet accidentally made a slight noise!

The woman in black paused in her kowtow and immediately stood up and rushed towards the cave entrance. Shen Zhi immediately stepped forward to stop her and the two of them started fighting!

Seeing that the other party had no intention of getting entangled with him, Shen Zhi only wanted to get away quickly, so he inevitably increased the strength of his hands.

Shen Zhi is good at martial arts and grew up in a military camp. He has few opportunities to fight against women, but he will never show mercy.

But...he, Shen Zhi, is not a gangster!

If Shen Zhi accidentally grabbed a woman's breast, he would be stunned and watch the man in black run away!

Shen Zhi looked down at his right hand somewhat embarrassedly, and couldn't help but slap his right hand with his other hand. What a bad thing!

Shen Zhi thought he would never meet the woman in black again, but he didn't expect to meet her again the next day!

That's not quite right. Strictly speaking, Shen Zhi met a woman with a very similar back view, and judging by her steps, she also knew kung fu.

Originally, Madam Chen had two housekeepers and two maids by her side. They were all brought from Madam Chen's parents' home and were very loyal to her.

Two of the head maids, Feng Yao and Li Xue, had both undergone rigorous training. Of course, Shen Zhi heard this from others.

Feng Yao and Li Xue were Madam Chen's personal maids, and Shen Zhi rarely had the opportunity to see them, let alone fight with them.

However, I heard that last year, Madam Qiong and a maid named Li Xue were kicked out of the mansion because Madam Chen discovered their infidelity.

Shen Zhi looked at the offerings placed in front of Feng Yao's tomb from afar, as well as the back of the woman who had walked away. He roughly guessed who the woman was in the cave last night.

The next time I heard about Li Xue was from the report of my subordinates!

"You said someone is still watching the Chen family?"

"Yes, I encountered a woman in black following the second daughter of the Chen family! I fought with her, but she ran away!"

[Humph! I didn’t catch it! ]

【……catch!】

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Shen Zhi immediately thought that it must be Li Xue. Moreover, as Madam Chen's personal maid, Li Xue must know some inside information.

Shen Zhi leaned back in the armchair, gently stroking the stubble on his chin. He was thinking about how to lure Li Xue out!

Since Li Xue is also keeping an eye on the Chen family, it must be to investigate the cause of Mrs. Chen's death. It is easy to set a trap to capture Li Xue, but the key is how to avoid being noticed by the Chen family.

"General, I want to see Madam Yan!"

Liang Shengrui supported his forehead with one hand and pressed hard to relieve the headache. He hadn't slept well for a long time and felt a splitting headache every day.

"Madam Yan stays by Jingchen's side without leaving for a moment. If you want to see her, go to Jingchen's yard!"

Shen Zhi met Madam Yan, who looked rather haggard, in the backyard and asked her many questions about Madam Chen, but they were mostly common ones.

Madam Yan had been interrogated many times before, and Shen Zhi's questions this time really didn't offer anything new. Of course, Shen Zhi's purpose was not to interrogate her.

Shen insisted on revealing to Madam Yan that he was being ordered to investigate the matter, and that he was currently very suspicious of the second young lady of the Chen family!

With the same goal and even the same suspect, Shen Zhi bets that Li Xue will come to him!
