Master of Rebirth

Chapter 342 Hole Cards

Since Shen Yingjie can pretend to be Jinli and not be discovered by the people of Zhengxi Hou Mansion, besides having a certain understanding of Jinli, he also needs to have contact with him.I am afraid that when Jinli went to the Internal Punishment Court to guard their father and son, they had already been replaced.

"You can escape, it must have something to do with the real Jinli." Recovering calm in the fastest time, Wang Qi said seriously: "From this point of view, Jinli is really your secret work buried in Zhengxihou's Mansion."

Nodding his head, Shen Yingjie said: "In the beginning, Jinli didn't betray Zhao Jing, but he was caught by me and there was nothing he could do. Then something happened, and he made up his mind to turn against him. Unfortunately, Jinli He's just an indecisive idiot, neither really loyal to me nor a complete betrayal of Zhao Jing. If he wavers in the middle, he is doomed to fail at both ends. But if he can be more frank, he won't end up like this."

"So, the 'Shen Yingjie' who died in the Inner Punishment Court is the real Jinli?" Wang Qi asked coldly.

Shen Yingjie smiled and said, "Not bad."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, can you tell me how Jinli took refuge in you?" Wang Qi said.

Shen Yingjie said generously: "This is my proudest work. Since the prince is interested, I am naturally willing to tell you about it. It is common for political opponents to make arrangements for each other. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Can levy The Xihou Mansion is monolithic, so it’s hard to make a move, so I can only wait for the opportunity. When I was in distress, Jinli came to my door. He had a crush on Zhen Yingying for a long time, but Zhen Yingying liked Zhao Jing. Jinli didn’t have the courage to confess to his sweetheart. I was troubled in my heart, but I didn't dare to let people around me know, so I secretly hid in a secluded tavern to drink away my sorrow. One of my subordinates seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to get close to him."

Things were very simple afterwards, the man saw Jinli drinking bowl after bowl, pretended not to see it anymore, went to comfort him, and took the opportunity to ask him why he was drunk.When Jinli was sober, he would not be so unsuspecting.But at that time, he was hurt and frustrated, and he couldn't complain to his friends around him, so he felt very uncomfortable.Now that a stranger came to ask, Jinli boldly confided in his drunkenness.Later, he became drunk and made a lot of ugly appearances.Not only did the man not dislike him, but he also kindly helped to clean up the mess, and arranged for Jin Li, who was so drunk to be unconscious, to rest in a nearby inn for the night.

After sobering up the next day, Jinli was naturally ashamed.I tried my best to find out where the man lived, and I went to the door to express my thanks.Instead of saying anything, the man comforted him, which made Jinli very moved.Since then, they have become friends, and the two often go out for drinks and gatherings.That person pretended to be a businessman, and he had some property in the capital. He was bold and generous, and he deliberately followed suit. He had a very bad temper for Jinli.Gradually, the relationship between the two is getting better and better.

At first, although Jinli concealed his identity from him, but later saw that the man had little to do with the officialdom, his mouth was strict, and he never took the initiative to ask about his private affairs, so he relaxed his vigilance, and occasionally complained to him about his master who served him. She has eyes but no eyes, and she doesn't like girls as good as Zhen Yingying, but she likes men.

Many things about Mrs. Ma and Wang Qi were inadvertently revealed to that person by Jinli.Although he didn't mention his name, that person came prepared and he knew the relationships around Zhao Jing very well, so he was able to take his seat accordingly.

"No wonder you know about my grandma's critical illness, and you also know the exact time when the Zhengxihou Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter to my third uncle in southern Yunnan." Wang Qi said, "So it was Jinli who told you."

Shen Yingjie said with a smile: "Not only that, it was actually our fault that your grandma was dying. It was our design that made her fall, which made her unable to get sick. Otherwise, how could the Zhengxihou Mansion be in a relationship between us and Huoer?" Khan sent someone to report the funeral to Wang Yao in southern Yunnan before the appointed time?"

"Your Excellency is really calculating!" Wang Qi said coldly, and then asked: "The ones who found someone to kidnap me in the south of the Yangtze River, and the person who pretended to be Xu Baichuan at the time of my grandma's funeral and encouraged Mrs. Ma to poison me, are you too ?”

Shen Yingjie said disdainfully: "That was the Seventh Prince's handwriting. It's a pity that he has high eyesight but low skills, and he has more success than failure. If I act personally, I will definitely not leave so many flaws."

"In this way, I have to thank you for your mercy?" Wang Qi mocked.

Although there was a smile on his face, Shen Yingjie's voice was very cold, "You're welcome. The reason why I keep you is because you are Zhao Jing's weakness, and I can do a lot of things from you. Unfortunately, if I knew that you still If you have the ability to forge imperial edicts, you must have been eliminated long ago."

"I'm really sorry, I ruined your big event." With a sneer, Wang Qi continued: "You originally wanted to take advantage of the southern Yunnan incident to bring down the prince and Zhengxihou's mansion, but they turned the defeat into victory. You have nothing else to do." The only way to break through is to start with Jinli, and then he is forced to reveal his true colors, threaten him with inadvertently leaking information, and force him to work for you."

Shen Yingjie smiled and said: "Yes, although Jinli has helped us a lot, in the final analysis, what he revealed to us is nothing more than superficial things, and cannot touch the root of Zhengxihou's mansion. We need a The nail was driven into the depths of Zhengxihou's mansion, and at that time, Jinli was the best choice. So, I personally found him..."

After Jinli learned the truth, he was naturally shocked and angry.Thinking that the catastrophe encountered by Zhengxihou's Mansion was actually his fault, Jin Li felt extremely guilty, and he was unwilling to do anything wrong to Zhengxihou's Mansion again.Therefore, in the face of Shen Yingjie's threat, Jinli was very stubborn, and would rather go to Zhao Rui and Zhao Jing to confess his guilt than betray Zhengxihoufu.

Shen Yingjie is so shrewd, seeing that hard things won't work, he immediately turned threats into temptations.He told Jinli that whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jinli was the one who betrayed Zhengxihou's Mansion, and even if Zhao Rui didn't punish him, he would definitely not reuse him in the future.If that was the case, Jinli would be doomed to be mediocre in his life, and he would never be able to occupy a high position, nor would he be able to make Miss Yingying, whom he was thinking of, pay more attention to.Instead of this, it is better to change the door and win a chance for yourself.

Although Jinli still refused, the wavering look on his face could not be hidden from Shen Yingjie's eyes.Shen Yingjie didn't continue to threaten, but let Jinli go back.Sure enough, after returning, Jinli did not confess everything to Zhao Jing.

"...I thought it would take some more effort to get Jinli to surrender, but who would have thought that Zhen Yingying committed suicide and staged a farce in Lanting Garden, becoming the laughing stock of the entire capital. And Zhao Jing handled this matter extremely The indifference broke Zhen Yingying's heart. Seeing that her sweetheart was wronged and unable to vent her anger, Jin Li took the initiative to come to her." At this point, Shen Yingjie's eyes were full of contempt, "But the matter of him taking refuge in me, apart from No one else knew about our father and son and the subordinate who deliberately approached him. After I came out of the internal punishment court, I checked, and the subordinate had indeed been silenced by him."

The farce that Shen Yingjie was talking about was that Zhen Yingying pretended to be herself with the portrait that Wang Qi drew for Zhao Jing, but was exposed to make a fool of herself in public.Wang Qi later found out that the painting was secretly given to Zhen Yingying by Jinli.Maybe Jinli blamed himself at the time, thinking that if he hadn't given the painting to Zhen Yingying, this kind of thing would not have happened.Thinking of this, Wang Qi didn't know whether Jinli was hateful or pathetic.

"So, Jinli took the initiative to ask for orders to go to the Internal Punishment Court to guard your father and son, in fact, to ensure your life and death." Wang Qi said.

The Five Bamboo Palace failed, and the Shen family and the Seventh Prince had no chance of turning over. In order to protect himself, Jinli naturally wanted to get rid of everyone who knew that he had taken refuge in Shen Yingjie.

Shen Yingjie smiled slightly, "My father and I hid a lot of necessary things in the Inner Punishment Court for emergencies, including a person/skin mask that can be disguised. But at the time, I wasn't sure who would be the scapegoat, I just want to catch the one who is alone first, and then play it by ear. I didn't expect Jinli to be so impatient that he would come to the door by himself."

"Wuzhu took the poison, no one around you dares to approach you, even if Jinli went to see you secretly, he didn't dare to enter the cell." Wang Qi said, "How did you switch identities with him?"

Shen Yingjie said: "That's simple. As long as I'm sure he's coming alone, I'll stand up and greet him. When he sees that I'm not dead, no matter whether he wants to kill me or threaten me, he will take the initiative to come over."

At this point, Wang Qi can understand without Shen Yingjie's words.The thief in Jinli is anxious to confirm the life and death of Shen Yingjie and his son, because he is afraid that they will confess themselves if they are still alive.Even if it was discovered that Shen Yingjie was not dead, Jinli would not let him have a chance to speak, let alone let others know.So he will definitely go alone to find out the truth.And Shen Yingjie took advantage of this to successfully make him his scapegoat.Facts also proved that "Jinli" was indeed alone in assassinating "Shen Yingjie" who was trying to escape from prison.

"It may be that Jinli thinks that his martial arts are superior to mine, or it may be that he is too eager to kill me. Seeing that I am still alive, he went directly to the cell. As long as he approaches, I have the opportunity to use the drug hidden in advance to kill me. He was dizzy." With a chuckle, Shen Yingjie continued: "I originally wanted to use Jinli's knife to open the prison door, but it would cause a lot of trouble. The key saves me a lot of trouble."

Wang Qi sarcastically said: "It turned out that Jinli brought the key there, but I thought Mr. Shen was very skilled and prepared it himself."

What happened later became very clear. Shen Yingjie used Jinli's key to open the cell door, changed clothes with Jinli and disguised himself into Jinli's appearance, and then changed Jinli into his appearance.When things were almost done, he woke Jinli up and killed him.In this way, a dedicated guard went to check on the repeat offender at the risk of being poisoned, only to discover the plot of the repeat offender and kill him, and the drama ended successfully.

"Your Majesty has been played around by your father and son four times, guarding you like a wolf. Even though you are good at disguise, a fake is a fake after all. Aren't you afraid that people will find out when you prove your identity? "Wang Qi asked in a deep voice: "In that case, your conspiracy will be fully exposed."

Shen Yingjie nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor and the prince are indeed very strict with us, and ordered that we must carefully verify our bodies without any omissions. But our father and son are 'poisons' after all, and it is dangerous to get close. The emperor is just lip service When I touched it, it was others who took the risk. These people are the most ordinary imperial doctors and bodyguards. They have parents, wives and children to support them. In order to save their lives, they naturally did not dare to stay longer. They put all their emphasis on my father. I just took it hastily, so naturally I can’t find anything.”

"But after all, Jinli's corpse has been left for many days, and he was taken to the vegetable market to beheaded. The human/skin mask is not the real face. What should you do if you show your flaws at that time?" Wang Qi asked.

As if thinking that Wang Qi was very naive, Shen Yingjie smiled and said, "Do you think it was really Jinli who was dragged to Caishikou? The emperor sent someone to secretly send the body out of the palace and burn it after the body was verified. , but a death row prisoner found elsewhere."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Wang Qi realize that Wuzhu's body was highly poisonous, so naturally he couldn't stay there for a long time, let alone bring it to a crowded place and cause unnecessary trouble.

Shen Yingjie smiled triumphantly, "Looking at it now, if I want to succeed, even the sky will help me."

"You think too much." Hearing this, Wang Qi couldn't help but sarcasm: "If the sky wanted to help you, you wouldn't let you 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' in the Inner Punishment Court. Isn't it because you father and son don't know what to do? Is this why you are so fully prepared in the Inner Punishment Court? Otherwise, you will not be able to escape successfully. If you put all your escape thoughts on your important matters, you may be able to win back a victory."

Wang Qi's words undoubtedly touched Shen Yingjie's sore spot, making his complacent face look ugly immediately.

"On the night of the palace change, it was Jinli who told you the news that Zhang Bixian came to Zhengxihou's mansion." Wang Qi continued: "That's why you falsely spread the imperial decree to announce Zhengxihou's entry into the palace."

"Zhao Rui and Zhou Ying hated each other and never interacted with each other. Zhang Bixian is from Zhou Ying, so naturally he would not go to the gate of Zhengxihou's Mansion. Jinli just thought it was strange that Zhang Bixian suddenly went to Zhengxihou's Mansion. We just sent us the letter. We didn’t doubt Zhou Ying at that time, but we were worried that Zhao Rui was outside, so we tricked him into the palace.” Shen Yingjie gritted his teeth and said: “Who knows that Zhou Ying will do the same thing in front of the face and cover the other side, but on the surface he agrees. We, however, secretly sent a message to the outside of the palace. If he hadn't been eating inside and out, the world today would already be ours."

Wang Qi sneered and said: "You can't say that. The Marquis of Dingbei is an official of Daliang, and he eats the imperial food. How can he be called eating inside and outside? The reason why he doesn't help you is because you are not kind. Marquis Dingbei probably doesn't know you The real identity of your father. Over the years, you have thought hard and tried every means to tie him with you. Isn't it just to make outsiders think that Dingbeihou and you are in the same party? As long as you make any mistakes, Dingbeihou will naturally You were implicated. It was only after you calculated this that you dared to launch a palace change suddenly, and then forced Dingbeihou to stand in line. It's a pity that you didn't expect Dingbeihou to be so courageous, and you would rather risk the risk of being liquidated by the emperor afterwards. To expose your conspiracy."

"It seems that you really can't hide anything from you!" Shen Yingjie smiled, then looked at Wang Qi, and said viciously: "Speaking of which, if the portrait you painted didn't look so much like your father, we wouldn't You will cause trouble in haste. You, like Zhao Rui, Zhao Jing, and Zhou Ying, are the chief culprit in our failure."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "So after you escaped from the Internal Punishment Court, you didn't go far away, but stayed behind to take revenge on those of us who made you fall short. You used Jinli's identity as a cover to discover Zheng Xihou's falsification of the imperial edict. For the truth, Shen Yutang was instigated to encourage Zhou Ying to completely break up the Zhengxihou Mansion and Dingbei Hou Mansion. I am afraid that Granny Ma was also responsible for your tricks."

"That's right, I told Mrs. Ma that the reason why Zhao Jing gave up on revenge for Shen Yuwei was because your Wang family did something wrong and Zhou Ying took advantage of it." Shen Yingjie laughed and said, "Mrs. Ma hated you for making Zhao Jing a broken sleeve. Now Knowing that even the important matter of avenging Shen Yuwei has been dragged down by you, I can't be more angry."

Now, Wang Qi has almost understood the truth of the matter.But there is one thing he still doesn't understand. Wuzhu and the Shen family are powerless. Shen Yingjie has worked so hard to save his life. If it is just to revenge them, and now the goal has been achieved, then why is he still Instead of leaving the capital, how about going back to the palace at risk?Did he find himself exposed?Or is there a bigger conspiracy brewing?

"I should have figured it out a long time ago. Jinli's net worth is innocent. He is not a dead man you cultivated, so he doesn't have much affection for you. There is no need to take risks and continue to fight against the Zhengxihou Mansion. If there is no deep hatred hidden in it, it is not enough to make people fight with their lives." Wang Qi sighed: "I also listen to the grievances between your Yang family and the late emperor. I said a little bit. You father and son have tried our best, but it is a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, and the matter has come to this point, why do you want to do this?"

These words successfully aroused the anger in Shen Yingjie's heart. He stared at Wang Qi and said, "You don't understand how much our Yang family has suffered."

"That's true." Nodding in agreement, Wang Qi said: "Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering. Although I don't know how much you have suffered, I can understand your grievances and unwillingness. Yang Guotao worked so hard back then. Advising the former emperor, but ended up killing them all. This is something that the royal family did not behave properly. As the orphan of the Yang family, Wuzhu saw his family members being killed with his own eyes. The hatred in his heart is probably indescribable He has painstakingly planned for decades, in order to overthrow Daliang's country and avenge the blood of the Yang family. You are his son, and it is only natural for you to avenge your ancestors."

Although there were mostly clichés, Wang Qi couldn't help feeling wronged for the Yang family when she said this.

Seemingly not expecting Wang Qi to say this, Shen Yingjie snorted coldly and remained silent.

"I sympathize with what you're going through, and I can understand what you're doing." Wang Qi said slowly, "I've worked hard for many years, and I thought victory was in sight, but I didn't expect it to fall short. It's normal for you to want to take revenge on us. But even if you take revenge We, the world still belongs to the emperor, so what can you change? You have died once, and it was your father who gave you a life with his life. Why don't you choose to live well? According to your ability, as long as you come After arriving in the capital, the sky is high and the sea is wide. But why do you come back to find a way of no return?"

Shen Yingjie knows countless people, and he can basically tell at a glance whether they are sincere or not.He could feel that Wang Qi sincerely hoped that he could hide his name, fly away, and spend the rest of his life in peace.

"I'm not as Buddha-natured as you, and I can't let go of so much." Looking back at the dilapidated palace behind him, Shen Yingjie sighed faintly, and said, "Do you know? My eldest sister died here. Although she only She has a half blood relationship with me, and has always been wary of my father, but she is sincerely treating me well. Unfortunately, in the end, I still used her."

After saying this, he seemed to think he was very funny. Shen Yingjie smiled wryly, turned to look at Wang Qi and said, "I have never said these words to outsiders. I never thought that at the last moment of my life, the person who listened to me say these is actually you."

Knowing that Shen Yingjie still had something to say, Wang Qi didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only nod her head, motioning for him to continue.

"My father told me that my grandfather was very talented and learned, and he was a famous talent in our area. Unfortunately, after repeated attempts, he still failed to achieve anything at the age of thirty, and gradually became the laughing stock of the villagers. For this reason, my grandfather kept taking a gamble and swore that he would He wants to be named on the gold list and return home, so that those who look down on him will completely shut up." Sighing helplessly, Shen Yingjie continued: "It's a pity... After the last failure, my grandfather was desperate and prepared to throw himself into the river. Unexpectedly, he met The former emperor, who was still a prince at that time..."

Having said that, Shen Yingjie paused for a moment, and then said: "Even though he was just an aide who couldn't be put on the table, my grandfather was very content. He kept saying that the late emperor treated him with kindness, even if he was so heartbroken, he would not be so happy." To repay this kindness. Therefore, no matter what dirty or difficult things are, as long as it is the order of the first emperor, grandfather will carry it out without complaint. He is even ready to sacrifice his life for the dog emperor. But when he survives After the dog emperor came to the throne, he ended up with a dead dog."

After listening to this, Wang Qi also sighed heavily, and said emotionally: "If I had known this, I might as well have gone earlier, and it would save me the chills in the end."

"You're right. For grandfather, there is nothing more painful than dying at the hands of a master whom he has tried his best to help." Shen Yingjie said in a deep voice: "Since my father escaped, he has been hiding his name and working in fear. At first he just thought it was his grandfather who committed some serious crime, which brought the whole family down, and never thought of revenge. My father gradually grew up in hiding, and later met my mother, and planned to start a family. But he was The wanted criminals of the imperial court really dare not involve my mother. It happened that Ning Anbo and Shen Rongchang came to propose marriage at this time, and my father reluctantly gave up this relationship. It was also because of this incident that my father came to his senses and felt that this should not continue If I go on, otherwise I will only be displaced for the rest of my life. Therefore, after sending my mother to marry, he went around to learn from teachers and learned a lot of skills, and then went to Beijing to try to get the reuse of some princes and ministers, and obtain a dignified identity. "

Unexpectedly, the frightening Mr. Wu Zhu had such an innocent side when he was young. Although he knew the result, Wang Qi couldn't help asking: "Then what happened afterwards?"

"Later you also know that my father voted for the famous Five Princes at that time." Shen Yingjie said: "Then it was the same kindness of knowing you, the same heart-wrenching, my father perfectly repeated the tragedy of grandfather. But he I was lucky enough to see the real face of these royal people as soon as possible. Because of his father's outstanding ability, he soon became the most powerful staff around the fifth prince. Because of this, his father was able to get in touch with many royal secrets, including the murder of his grandfather the truth."

Speaking of this, Shen Yingjie laughed, as if feeling ironic, "You know what? The reason why my whole family was ransacked and beheaded was because of a sentence of anger mixed with grief and anger from my grandfather before he died. Because of this sentence, before All the credit and kindness I have made will be nullified, and I will be disgusted and feared by the late emperor for so many years like a guilty conscience."

"The dog emperor is ungrateful, and the laws of nature cannot tolerate it. Even if there is only one person left in the Yang family, he will overthrow this great Liang and take revenge for me."

Wang Qi had heard Zhao Jing say Yang Guotao's last words before he died.At that time, he felt that this person was really unwise, how could he say such angry words?If the former emperor had the guts to repay it, and if he had to repay his flaws, wouldn't it be a disaster for the whole family?I don't know how Yang Guotao would feel if he knew that his angry words had killed his whole family.

There were tears in Shen Yingjie's eyes, "Since then, grandfather's words have been engraved in my father's bones and blood. He vowed to make these words come true and make the emperor pay the price to comfort the dozens of dead souls of my Yang family."

"So, your father decided to take revenge." Wang Qi said: "After he failed to help the fifth prince in rebellion, in order to find a suitable identity, he colluded with your mother to kill the real Ning Anbo, and then Tao Dai Li Jiang replaced him."

With a chuckle, Shen Yingjie looked at Wang Qi and said, "I thought you would be different, but I didn't expect you to be as vulgar as those outside. My parents are not as bad as the rumors say, and they didn't kill Shen Rongchang On the contrary, when Shen Rongchang was alive, my mother did not do anything sorry for him. Even after Shen Rongchang died, my mother guarded him for three years before being truly with my father. After all, Shen Rongchang still needs Thank you my father. If my father hadn't managed everything with all his strength, his Shen family's title and the glory and wealth of his two daughters would have been blown away with the wind."

Having said that, Wang Qi wondered if she could talk about occupying a wife and taking over her identity so freshly and without vulgarity. Wang Qi wondered if she had such thick skin.

"Okay, that's enough, we should get down to business." Looking at the sky, Shen Yingjie suddenly got up and said.

Sensing his movement, Wang Qi hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?"

"You don't think that I'm risking my life just to go back to the palace and chat with you about the past." Shen Yingjie laughed.

Hearing this, Wang Qi's heart sank suddenly, and she heard Shen Yingjie continue: "Since our father and son established a firm foothold in the palace, we secretly transported a lot of gunpowder and hid them in the cold palace. Although it is not enough to blow up The entire imperial palace, but blowing up this cold palace is more than enough."

"The Leng Palace is remote, and there are no large houses around. Even if you blow up the Leng Palace, so what?" Unexpectedly, Shen Yingjie and his son were so frenzied, with a bad premonition in their hearts, Wang Qi hurriedly said: "I advise you It's better to stop in time, maybe there will be a chance of survival."

With a slight smile, Shen Yingjie said: "If I wanted to survive, I would have run away long ago. There is no need to wait until now. You said, if I lure the prince and Zhao Jing over, and then 'boom', wouldn't it be great for everyone to enter the Palace of the King of Hades together?" happy?"

The smile on Shen Yingjie's face became more and more crazy. Knowing what he wanted to do, Wang Qi was terrified, and desperately thought of a plan to get out.It's a pity that before he could figure it out, Shen Yingjie took out something from his bosom.Wang Qi's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly touched her body, but it was empty.

Seeing that her Cloud Piercing Arrow was in Shen Yingjie's hand, Wang Qi panicked completely.If Shen Yingjie put that thing in the sky, it would definitely attract attention.At this sensitive juncture, many people will definitely be attracted.If Zhao Jing was among them, wouldn't it be in Shen Yingjie's arms?

"I promised you that I would let you see Zhao Jing before you die, so naturally you will do what you say." While speaking, Shen Yingjie's hands were not idle.

There was only a sound of a soaring cannon, and the cloud-piercing arrow shot straight into the sky, exploding in the dark night.

My heart is heavy. In fact, the Yang family is also very wronged.
