[Rebirth] Uncle is above, don't care

After Shen Yinbei left like this, he didn't show up again for five days, and the palace of Duankang Palace was even more depressed. The princess and the second son had accidents one after another, which made this once bustling and splendid mansion deserted.

After all, no one would like to come to the house of a regicide to set up a relationship, even if this matter has nothing to do with other people in Duankang Palace.

After these two blows, Shen Chengjing's illness became more and more serious, and his temper became more and more weird. He often lost his temper and smashed things for no reason, which made the maids and servants put their tails between their tails, and usually dare not say anything more.

For a while, Shen Chengqi became the most leisurely and carefree person, drinking tea and watching the scenery in Yingyuan all day long, not caring about worldly affairs at ease.

It wasn't until late at night that day, when he was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, he suddenly heard the door rang, put on his clothes and sat up to look, only to find Shen Yinbei walking in.

"It's you? Why do you want to come here so late?"

Shen Chengqi smiled and beckoned him to sit down, picked up the teapot and was about to pour water for him, but a pair of cold hands grabbed his wrists.

Shen Chengqi was stunned for a moment, because there was no light in the house, reflecting the hazy moonlight outside the window, he vaguely saw that Shen Yinbei's face was extremely ugly, his lips were pale, his eyes were absent-minded, and he completely lost his usual calm appearance.

"Are you sick, why is your face so ugly?" Shen Chengqi was frightened, and raised his hand to touch his forehead, but he pulled him into his arms.

I don't know if it was because of the night wind or other reasons that were originally hot, but now it was cold, and taking advantage of his pale face, he looked very haggard.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, don't hold it in your heart."

It took a long time before Shen Yinbei raised his head, and his voice turned out to be hoarse.

"Brother, do you still remember what you told me before, I... found it."

Shen Chengqi was taken aback, what happened before?What did you find?

After thinking about it, he thought of a possibility, and immediately opened his eyes wide, "You mean my... uh... the cause of Sixth Uncle's death?"

"Yes." Shen Yinbei nodded, his eyes still reddened, "Before you told me that there was something wrong with the cause of Sixth Uncle's death, I didn't really believe it at the time, after all, how could a prince be killed so easily, But now I really have to believe your words, Uncle Six's death is definitely weird."

After hearing this, Shen Chengqi didn't have any ups and downs in his heart. He knew about this 800 years ago, and now that the murderer has been found, it is really impossible to show a very sad and indignant look.

But he couldn't show it in front of Shen Yinbei, so he could only ask along the way: "What have you found? Have you found the murderer?"

Shen Yinbei shook his head, "That's what the dark guards came to you to report to me that day. They had sneaked into the palace before and found that an old doctor named 'Zhao Wanyou' was very suspicious the night before Uncle Six died. .”

When Shen Chengqi heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately. Zhao Wanyou was the chief physician of the imperial pharmacy, and he was the one who came to diagnose and prescribe medicine before his death. Could it be that he belonged to Shen Chengjing?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he asked, "This Imperial Physician Zhao can also be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties, how could his age be involved in this kind of thing now, are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. The old man died inexplicably and suddenly a few days ago. He was the doctor in charge of the sixth uncle at that time. There must be something strange about his sudden death. So the people I sent tracked down the old man's house and found that A note he wrote."

"Notes? Is it because he was afraid of being killed by others and left himself a way out in advance?"

"That's right." Shen Yinbei sneered, his gray eyes glaring coldly, "Sly Rabbit is a running dog, he also knows that he is just a tool to kill people, and after the incident, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely kill him, so he hides it at home." A note, which tells the whole truth, fortunately my people got it first, otherwise we will still be kept in the dark!"

"Then... how did Sixth Uncle die?" Shen Chengqi asked this sentence with difficulty, but he felt chills all over his body. Although he knew that Shen Chengjing killed him, but now he doesn't even know the cause of death. Really sad and ridiculous.

Shen Yinbei was silent, and his eyes were a little red again, "Poisoning, moon bluegrass, colorless and tasteless, put it in the decoction one day in advance, and the poison will cause sudden death two days ago. There will be no signs before."

Shen Chengqi stood aside, his fingers tightly grasping the edge of the table, already unconsciously bleeding.He tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth to laugh at himself, but he didn't even have the strength.

I remember that before I died, I did have a mild cold. I thought it was a minor illness that would be cured by drinking some soup and medicine, but who knew it was out of control, and the illness came down like a mountain, and I died suddenly the next day.

It seemed to be a simple death, but who would have thought that the crux of it would be in the bowls of soup and medicine he drank?

Heh, after drinking so much poison as good medicine, the world is only as stupid as this.

Seeing his pale face, Shen Yinbei felt very sad. Since the elder brother had the memory of the sixth uncle in his body, how could he be more relaxed than himself when he heard this thing again at this time.

"Brother, the matter is over. What we can do for Uncle Six is ​​to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, so that his spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

"I'm fine, I'm really fine." Shen Chengqi propped himself up on the table and stood up straight, smiling very reluctantly, "You're right, catching the murderer is the real business. Did you mention anything else in the note you just said?"

Shen Yinbei narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists and said: "The notes didn't go into details, but the name of Li Yongkang, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, was mentioned. I sent someone to check the palace gate entry and exit records one month before the incident, and found that this Li Yongkang I have looked for Zhao Wanyou many times, and the most recent one was the night before Uncle Liu died."

Shen Chengqi nodded, still very puzzled in his heart, if this Zhao Wanyou was from Shen Chengjing's side, he could go out of the palace to find them to conspire, why let Li Yongkang go into the palace again and again to find him?

"Have you ever thought about it? Uncle Liu grew up in the palace, and Zhao Wanyou is a veteran of three generations. If he wants to harm someone, why wait until now?"

"Because Li Yongkang kidnapped his whole family as a threat." Shen Yinbei sneered, "The night before Uncle Six died, an old farmer who delivered vegetables to Zhao's house all the year round hurried to the yamen to report the case, saying that the 36 members of Zhao's family were mysterious. Missing, there was still blood at the door. At that time, the government had not waited to start the investigation, and the Zhao family mysteriously appeared again late at night the next day. At that time, the sixth uncle had just passed away. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I am afraid it is the Zhao family. The lives of the whole family are in the hands of others, so Zhao Wanyou has to submit obediently."

After Shen Chengqi heard this, he sat on the chair beside him without speaking for a long time, his head was buzzing, and his heart was also in a mess.

Although he knew for a long time that he was killed by someone, he was still terrified when he heard these details, and he was in a daze for a while thinking of the pain he felt when he was dying.

"Brother, brother? Are you okay, why is your face so ugly?"

Shen Yinbei's words pulled him back from his thoughts, he turned his head and forced a smile, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well... What did you say just now?"

Shen Yinbei held his hand, as if giving him strength, looked at him with fixed eyes and said: "I just said that Li Yongkang, a small servant of the Ministry of punishment, would not dare to fight against him even if he had the guts of an ambitious leopard. When a prince strikes, there must be someone behind him who instructed him, don’t you have the memory of the sixth uncle in your head, can you try to think about who he has committed crimes in his lifetime or what political opponents he has in the court?”

Shen Chengqi smiled wryly in his heart, he already knew that the murderer was Shen Chengjing, what else did he want to do?

"Sorry, I haven't had anything about Uncle Six in my head for a long time. I probably will forget it after a long time. I really can't remember anything now."

"Brother, I'm impatient. I just... Don't worry, I just want to avenge Sixth Uncle. I don't have any other meanings. Don't think too much about it." Shen Yinbei was afraid that Shen Chengqi knew that he still cared about his feelings for Sixth Uncle , Hastily explained.

"Fool, why would I think so." Shen Chengqi let out a laugh, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "Sixth Uncle's revenge must be avenged, what are your plans now?"

Shen Yinbei breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that Shen Chengqi's reaction was too calm, as if he had never minded his feelings for Sixth Uncle, but this strange feeling flashed past, and he came back to his senses and said: "This Li Yongkang He is a timid person who is eager for quick success, I thought that if I could pretend to lure him to my side, the forces behind him would definitely be anxious, and maybe they would show their feet, so I wouldn’t be in a hurry to do it again.”

Please... Li Yongkang himself is in the same group as Shen Chengjing. You, the son who wins over your father, expect your father to jump out and admit it automatically! ?

Unable to say these words, Shen Chengqi couldn't help but rolled his eyelids, thought about it a few times, and suddenly had an idea.

"Your method will take too long, and it will be even more troublesome if Li Yongkang destroys other evidence in the middle. You just said that he is timid and timid, so you might as well grab his other reasons first and force him to jump over the wall in a hurry. Let's catch a turtle in a urn again."

"From what you mean, it seems that you have already thought of a solution?" Shen Yinbei raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Shen Chengqi nodded with a chuckle, waved to him and put his hands in his ear and said, "I have my own way, you do as I say, when the time comes we..."

Shen Yinbei's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Brother really has you, this trick is indeed wonderful!"

***

These few days the capital has not been peaceful, and several families have been haunted by ghosts one after another. Rumors say that it is because the gates of ghosts in the underworld are not closed properly, and many ghosts who died in vain returned to the human world to take revenge because of their resentment.

This kind of strange and chaotic thing can't cause any disturbances, but during this period of time, those prisoners who were put on death row for murder all died suddenly one after another, and those who were killed by them inexplicably had a lot of gold and silver in their homes Jewelry, and even left a blood letter saying that he has been reincarnated as a human being, please rest assured his family.

This is nothing, the most strange thing is that these dead murderers didn't have any wounds on their bodies, they were all scared to death, even the most powerful gangster in the capital couldn't tell the reason.

All of a sudden, the entire capital was in turmoil, and the people were frightened. They dared not go out at night for fear of running into ghosts.

Shen Chenghui also ordered the government to thoroughly investigate the matter many times, but in the end, nothing was done. In fact, no one entered the death cell in the days when the accident happened, and no clues were left behind. It seemed that something appeared out of nowhere and scared the prisoners to death. Another gust of wind disappeared like a shadow, which made it difficult for people to suspect that it was a ghost.

That night, just after finishing a French ceremony in Li's mansion, the young servant walked through the door with a pot of hot water and entered the inner room, and said respectfully, "Master, when is the time?" It's getting late, will my servant help you to wash up?"

Li Yongkang took a look outside the outer door shivering, and asked vigilantly: "The master of Yunshan Taoist temple is gone?"

"That's right, the master said, as long as the door is pasted with the Taoist talisman he wrote in cinnabar, don't worry about any demons and ghosts."

Li Yongkang patted his chest before he dared to get out of the bed. When he turned his head, he saw a black shadow flashing outside the window, which scared him to the ground, "Ah! Then...there is a ghost there! Ahh! You ...you go and have a look!"

The boy was also taken aback by his voice, and leaned over to look tremblingly, but there was nothing...

"Master, don't be afraid, it's the branches outside the window that are blown by the wind, there are no ghosts."

Li Yongkang didn't care about that, he picked up a bunch of garlic and hung it around his neck, and held a black donkey's hoof in his hand, and moved to the window trembling. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and sat on the chair until his legs became weak. If he continued to toss like this, he might go crazy.

"Sir, don't be so worried. You are the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You are in charge of those who commit crimes. Even ghosts have to respect you. How dare you forget to break into the house? Besides, you have always been upright, and you are not afraid of ghosts if you don't do anything wrong. What are you worried about?"

Originally, the boy's words were intended to flatter, but in the end it hit Li Yongkang's pain point. God knows that he did kill someone, and he was also the sixth prince of the dynasty!

"Presumptuous! You talkative dog slave, did I let you talk?! Let me hear you say one more word, and I will cut off your tongue!" Li Yongkang was furious and kicked the little boy hard. The servant scolded angrily: "Hurry up and get out, don't get in the way of grandpa here!"

The little servant was so frightened that he didn't know which sentence he said was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything for a while, kowtowed several times and escaped.

"The dog slave doesn't even know how to close the door!"

Li Yongkang glared at him bitterly, got up and closed the door, feeling sad for a moment.

He had already moved his wife, children, and concubines away when he heard rumors of haunting before. Now he was the only one left in the whole house except for the servants. The empty house looked even more desolate and lonely at night, making people feel even more insecure.

He closed the door and carefully sealed the crack with the Taoist talisman. While chanting Amitabha, he walked around the puddle of blood and walked to the window. At this moment, all the candles in the room and all the lanterns outside the window were extinguished!

A gust of wind blew from the window, the branches rustled, and a dark and distorted shape was reflected in the demon mirror at the gate, followed by the "creaking" sound of the door opening...

"Ah—! Come on! Come on! Where are all the people dead!"

Li Yongkang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, but none of the servants and guards who had been guarding not far away showed up. The whole house seemed to be emptied in an instant, leaving him alone and helpless.

The door opened, and a black shadow appeared, which looked even more strange through the bleak moonlight outside the house. He approached Li Yongkang little by little. Li Yongkang kept screaming in fright, and covered his face with the garlic in his neck. , twitching non-stop, and picked up a black donkey's hoof and slammed it, but it didn't have any effect.

All I saw was that the black figure tore open the Dao talisman on the door, stepped on a big puddle of dog blood, walked up to him, and then handed him a bayonet stained with blood to his neck.

"Help! The Sixth Prince... I was wrong! I was forced to do nothing! I beg you to be merciful and let me go! I... I will give you as many offerings and prayers as possible! Please let me go!"

Li Yongkang was so frightened that he peed on his pants, crying with snot and tears all over his face. He collapsed on the ground and wanted to hug Heiying's legs, but then he thought that ghosts don't even have legs, but what is this thing he touched in his hand! ?

"You! You you you—! Who are you!?"

"Heh, Mr. Li's acting skills really amaze me, tsk tsk."

A deep and playful voice sounded, and Li Yongkang realized that the person who came to the door was not the ghost of the dead sixth prince, but this person put the bayonet on his neck, could it be that he also came to kill him?

"Big... bold! Who are you!? What is the purpose of assassinating me?"

As long as it is a human being, he is not so afraid, and he has a bit of confidence at this time, as long as this person is held back, the guards in the mansion will notice the change here.

"Are you thinking that if you can delay for a while, maybe someone will come to rescue you right away?" The man sneered and sarcastically.

This man actually guessed his own thoughts!

"What on earth do you want to do? If you just want money, then you can take whatever you want from the house. As long as you promise to let me go, I will never pursue tonight's matter again."

"Master Li, you are too confused. You still don't know what I want to do, huh? It is true that Duankang Lord wants to kill you." The man moved the bayonet a little closer, and the sharp blade immediately cut Li Yongkang's neck was broken, and blood flowed out immediately.

"What... what!? The prince wants to kill me? Why!"

The man laughed hoarsely in a low voice, "What can it be for? People in the capital are panicking now, and the matter of the sixth prince will be revealed sooner or later. Mr. Li, you know so many things, how can the prince tolerate you!"

"No... Impossible! I have always been loyal to the prince, and I would never do anything to betray him. Why would he kill me!?"

The man snorted coldly, kicked him to the ground, raised his bayonet and stabbed at Li Yongkang's chest fiercely: "You'd better wait until the king of hell to say this!"

"No—don't! You let me see the prince for the last time!"

The man stopped the bayonet in his hand, his eyes were condensed, "My lord has no time to see you, I will burn paper money for you at this time next year."

Li Yongkang grasped the bayonet eager to win, and blood gushed out of his fingers instantly, "I will give you all the evidence of the prince's murder of the sixth prince, and then run away far away and will not appear again in this life, please let me go!" Die!"

The man paused, "Really?"

When Li Yongkang heard that there was still a turning point, he panicked and handed him a stack of yellowed letters under a tile in the room, and said tremblingly: "This is the correspondence between the prince and me in the past few years. Here it is, hero, let me go, I promise I won't show up again!"

The man's eyes flashed, he kicked him in the chest, and then threw the bayonet, piercing the palm of his right hand in an instant!

"Ah—!" Li Yongkang screamed in pain, and passed out on the ground.

The man turned around and left, and two black figures jumped out from behind the Li residence, "Your Highness, are you going to let him go like this?"

"Let him go. It's still useful for me to keep him. Go and take the ecstasy medicine of the servants of Li's mansion. Remember to keep your hands and feet clean."

"Yes." The two guards turned around and were about to leave.

"Wait, what did you hear tonight?"

"The slave didn't hear anything."

"Heh, remember to control your mouths, even in front of Shen Yinbei, don't say anything, remember that he has already given you to me, and I am your master."

The condensed voice made the two hidden guards tremble. He is so thin, but he has such a strong aura on his body, which makes people feel intimidated. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes, the slave understands."

The voice of the dark guard disappeared into the night, the man pulled down the mask on his face, the moonlight cast down and illuminated Shen Chengqi's fair and thin face.
