A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 570: Strike first?
Chen Ping was kicked, but he didn't dare to question it. Instead, he stood up and walked to Song Hongshen again, explaining: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Lady didn't mention you, and I don't take you lightly."
Song Hongshen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Zhilan. The little girl subconsciously shrank her neck and muttered, "He knows who I am, but he still wants to attack me. Doesn't that mean he doesn't take the prince seriously?"
Su Zhilan had figured out this tactic of taking advantage of the power of another.
Song Hongshen was just about to tease Su Zhilan a few more times when he saw Su Qingyu coming over.
He stepped forward and bowed as a junior, "Hello, Madam Shen San."
He has always respected Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu signaled Song Hongshen that he didn't need to be polite, and then asked, "Lord Zhongyong, are you passing by? I'm so grateful to you today."
Song Hongshen explained, "I was training my troops in the West Mountain Camp today, and a patrolling officer discovered something unusual in the mountains. I was worried, so I brought people to take a look."
At this point, Song Hongshen glanced at Chen Ping and said, "I didn't expect General Chen to be so bold. Fortunately, I arrived in time."
At this moment, Chen Ping was in a dilemma. King Zhongyong had arrived, and it was almost impossible to search the Shen family's carriage.
But if we don't search, we're afraid that the person is really in the carriage.
When Jia Huai saw Chen Ping hesitate, he knew that something was wrong.
He could only endure the severe pain and walked to Chen Ping's side, whispering: "The princess plotted and killed Princess Yongning and His Royal Highness Prince Zhan. That monk was the personal guard of His Royal Highness Prince Zhan. If we don't get rid of this man today, we will have no chance of survival even if we return to the Li family."
Not only will they have no way to survive, but the entire Li family will be overthrown.
Chen Ping's heart was filled with shock and he never expected this to happen.
Therefore, this person must be found today, even if it means sacrificing his life, the monk cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the Shen family.
He looked around and saw that Song Hongshen had brought elite soldiers with him, so he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
The most urgent task now is to make sure that the person is not in the Shen family's car. If not, then he ran away, and they will continue to search. If he is, then they will find a way to get rid of him.
Based on the reactions of the Shen family, Chen Ping guessed that the man was probably hidden by the third wife of the Shen family. But he definitely hadn't had time to speak yet, so he just had to get rid of him before he could say anything.
Seeing Chen Ping hanging his head, wondering what he was thinking, Song Hongshen asked coldly, "General Chen, do you want to search more?"
The tone was obviously unfriendly. If Chen Ping said to continue the search, Song Hongshen would definitely take action.
Chen Ping's mind raced, and he suddenly figured out how to deal with it.
He said to Su Qingyu respectfully, "I was not thoughtful enough just now. Please forgive me, Madam Shen San. I will search somewhere else now."
At this moment, dark clouds have covered the sky, and there are lightning and thunder on the mountains not far away. Heavy rain is about to come.
Jia Huai got anxious when he heard Chen Ping say that. He approached him and was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen Ping's sharp eyes.
Chen Ping already had an idea in his mind at this time. Instead of staying in a stalemate, it would be better to let the person go first.
After Song Hongshen left, he would ask his assassins to investigate. If they found any suspicious people, they would kill them directly.
As long as people keep their mouths shut, they won't be afraid of leaking secrets.
In his heart, he blamed Jia Huai for not telling them clearly earlier. If they had known about such a serious matter earlier, they could have just put the person to death with a fire or a dose of poison. The means are not important, what is important is to be safe.
After hearing what Chen Ping said, Song Hongshen said, "You guys go, I will escort Madam Shen San back home."
Chen Ping saluted and said goodbye, then signaled the fifty private guards to line up again. They were going to search the south side of the official road.
Su Qingyu narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Ping's back. She secretly didn't want to let these people leave. If they left, they might target the Shen family.
But she couldn't order Song Hongshen, so she could only let Chen Ping leave and make plans after returning home.
Just when Chen Ping was about to take his men away, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly drove over from the direction of the capital, and the driver was Wen Zhu.
After the carriage stopped, Wenzhu lifted the curtain and Shen Zhixiu got out.
"what happened?"
Shen Zhixiu saw this scene and knew that something must have happened. Especially since Chen Ping was there, he became alert.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi walked closer and reported what had just happened in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Especially the monk's identity and what he said, Jiang Qi told every word.
Shen Zhixiu was surprised, but his expression did not change.
He just looked at Song Hongshen and asked, "Are all the people you brought out today your confidants?"
Song Hongshen didn't understand why, but he nodded anyway, "Yes, they all followed me through thick and thin in Liaodong."
Shen Zhixiu looked at the sky and said in a cold voice: "I will take the two leaders away, and deal with the rest of the Li family guards. Do it quickly. Before the rain comes, deal with it cleanly. Throw the bodies down the mountain behind the Huguo Temple and burn them."
Song Hongshen glanced at Shen Zhixiu and said, "I'll do it right away."
Even though he was crowned a king, he never acted arrogantly in front of Shen Zhixiu, treating himself as a student and a junior. In addition, the Shen family and the Song family have always been close, so when Shen Zhixiu gave him such an order, he did not refuse or hesitate at all.
After explaining this to Song Hongshen, Shen Zhixiu instructed Wenzhu and Jiang Qi, "We are not going back to the capital today. Let's go back to the farm."
Then he explained to Su Qingyu: "Let's go back to the manor. I want to ask that person about what happened back then. You take good care of the two cousins, and send someone to deliver a message to Prince Ning's Mansion and the Su family."
Su Qingyu knew that the matter was of great importance, so she comforted Su Shunci and Su Zhilan, and the three sisters got on the carriage again.
When Song Hongshen led his men to take action, the Shen family's carriage had already left. Bean-sized raindrops also fell, washing away the bloodstains on the ground.
After all the people were beheaded, Song Hongshen ordered his men to throw the bodies down the mountain behind the Huguo Temple and burn them.
He entered the city before the gates were closed.
The rain never stopped falling. The Shen family's manor outside the city was heavily guarded. Wen Zhu and Jiang Qi were personally guarding outside the hall.
After asking Li Hu, Shen Zhixiu found out that it was Jia Huai who recognized him, and fortunately he brought the person back.
After finding out what happened that year, he ordered someone to take Li Hu away to have a meal and recuperate, and then began to interrogate Chen Ping and Jia Huai.
Chen Ping didn't expect that when Lord Shen arrived, he would be so ruthless, arrest people directly, and even kill his brothers.
It was said that this Lord Shen had a righteous heart and noble morals. But today he finally saw clearly that this man was truly cunning and cruel.
Facing Shen Zhixiu's questioning, Chen Ping and Jia Huai said nothing. They would never betray their master.
Shen Zhixiu waved his hand, signaling Wenzhu to take the man away and directly lock him up in a room on the upper floor of the manor for further interrogation.
At midnight, Su Yuanzhou received the news and quietly left the city.
In the study, Su Yuanzhou asked Shen Zhixiu, "Teacher, with these two things, can we take the initiative?"
