Chapter 837 Some Silver Is Not That Easy to Get
Several people talked at the same time, making Mo Yu angry like a pufferfish: "You are going too far!"
After that, Mo Yu stopped eating and went back to his room angrily: "Just wait, I will definitely build a chariot crossbow and beat you in the face! I will make you kneel down and call me grandpa!"
The next moment, there was a loud bang and the door was slammed shut.
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's eat first."
Mo Yu is a person who you cannot help but provoke, you cannot look down on, and you cannot praise him too much. The current situation is just right.

After the meal, Shen Shuyi told Mr. Liancheng about the poisoning of the soldiers in Liangzhou, and then invited him to go to Liangzhou in person.
"The journey is long, I'm afraid Master will have to endure the hardship." Shen Shuyi felt guilty.
"You girl, don't say that. This matter concerns the lives of countless civilians and soldiers. It's worth it for me to suffer a little." Liancheng said.
Lian Qiao nodded, eyes shining: "Dad, you are the best!"
With his daughter's flattery, Liancheng felt very strong for a moment, with a proud smile on his face.
"Miss, the Sixth Prince has recently been trying to win over the former subordinates of the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince. His Majesty is depressed and his health is not as good as before. The Sixth Prince frequently goes to the palace to take care of him. Not only that, he has close contacts with Prince Duan, and now the deputy commander of the imperial guards in the capital has surrendered to him." Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
"No rush. Most of Xiao Yuncheng and Xiao Heyu's confidants were implicated and killed. The rest are mostly fence-sitters. Few of them are capable. As for the Imperial Guards, let them be. I want to see what they are going to do..." Shen Shuyi spoke slowly, and he could guess what Xiao Tingshan was thinking.
"Our spies sent us news that Xiao Tingshan seemed to have secretly recruited several Taoists, but he acted cautiously and we were unable to find the hiding place of those Taoists." Jiang Li spoke again.
Shen Shu pondered for a moment, then said, "Shi Qifeng's recent book is a comparison with Xiao Tingshan. Let him write about Xiao Tingshan's recruitment of Taoist priests."
Since we don't know where they are hiding, we might as well alert them.
In this way, there will always be clues to follow.
"Miss, you are right. Xiao Tingshan really wants to win over my brother." Tong Xuan said in a low voice: "He has secretly sent people to send gold and silver to my brother twice, but both times he used other people's names."
In this way, if Tong Guan did not accept it and reported the matter to Emperor Qianwu, he could also clear himself.
If Tong Guan accepted it, he would send more in his own name.
"I remember Wang Xi had taken refuge with Concubine Jing before, right?" Shen Shuyi asked.
In fact, Wang Xi had a pretty good relationship with the Qingyuan Marquisate. However, according to the news sent by Tong Guan, Wang Xi also sent news about the Jinglou case to Concubine Jing.
After careful consideration, Shen Shuyi decided to save Wang Xi.
After all, he had followed Emperor Qianwu for many years and had climbed to the position of Emperor Qianwu's confidant. His connections in the former dynasty and the harem should not be underestimated.
"Yes, Wang Xi is currently being held in prison and undergoing strict interrogation." Tong Xuan said in a low voice.
"I'll go over tonight and take a look. If Xiao Tingshan fails to win over Tong Guan, he will definitely resort to other means. He is a hypocritical and calculating person. If bribery fails, he will definitely use other methods to win over people's hearts."
Tong Xuan looked at Shen Shuyi: "What about my brother..."
"Let him find the right opportunity. If the time comes, you can give Xiao Tingshan some convenience, but you can't use it completely for him."
Xiao Tingshan was a suspicious person. If Tong Guan was so easy to bribe, he would not believe it. It would be better if he spent some effort to gain some favor from Tong Guan before he would believe it.
"Sister Shuyi, I... I also want to enter the palace..." Tong Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind.
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment. She knew that Tong Xuan had been practicing martial arts these days. Because she had a solid foundation, she had achieved remarkable results after practicing for some time.
"That Aunt Tong..."
"With Lian Qiao helping me take care of her, my mother is doing well. Besides, she can see again now." Tong Xuan said softly.
"I'm worried that my brother will have a hard time staying in the palace alone, so I want to help her out."
Shen Shuyi sighed softly: "But now that you have entered the palace, you can't meet him often. You have to be clear that if others know about your relationship, then you will be a handle for others to hold him back, and also his weak spot."
"I know. I asked Lian Qiao for the poison. If that day really comes, I will never implicate him, and I will never ruin Sister Shuyi's plans!" Tong Xuan was a little nervous, afraid that Shen Shuyi would not agree.
Shen Shuyi held her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid of bad things. I don't have to do anything. But for you, you only have one life. I hope you can think clearly and don't live for anyone."
Tong Xuan's eyes moistened and she nodded: "I know, I've already told my brother about it."
"Well, if you enter the palace, you will use the alias Xuan Tong. Among the four concubines, Concubine Jing has become a nun, Concubine Rou has been banished to the cold palace, and Concubine Xiang has lived in Chonghua Palace for a long time. Only the gentle Concubine Duan is left. After you enter the palace, I will let Tong Guan arrange you to Concubine Duan's palace."
"Thank you, Sister Yi!" Tong Xuan's eyes turned red.
Shen Shuyi thought to himself that in his previous life, Xiao Tingshan ended up winning over Concubine Duan.
This Concubine Duan is not as non-confrontational as she seems. It's just that Concubine Duan has no children, so it's not easy for her to compete with others. The smartest way is to protect herself and keep a low profile.
But in his previous life, Xiao Tingshan had no mother, Concubine Duan had no children, and Emperor Qianwu was seriously ill, so the two hit it off. So later, this seemingly noncompetitive Concubine Duan actually gave Xiao Tingshan a lot of help.
Of course, there is also the Queen Mother.
But in this life, Shen Shuyi will not let him get his wish easily.
But then again, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think of King Zhao again. After searching for so long, he still couldn't find any information at all.
Could it be that this person disappeared out of thin air?
Shen Shuyi sighed lightly, thinking that he would try tonight to see if he could get something out of Wang Xi.

At night, under the guidance of Tong Guan, Shen Shuyi, wearing a black cloak, came to the prison.
Wang Xi was tied to the rack, covered in blood and dying.
Hearing the noise, he opened his eyelids with great effort. Shen Shuyi took off his hat, revealing a clear and handsome face.
Wang Xi was slightly startled, and his blurred vision made him suspect that he had seen it wrong.
It was not until Shen Shuyi spoke that he finally came to his senses.
"What did you confess?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"He sent the message to Concubine Jing because he had once accepted a large sum of money from Concubine Rou and was discovered by Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing used this as a threat and spent a large sum of money before Wang Xi agreed to give her some information." Tong Guan said concisely.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "I see, it seems that some silver is not so easy to get, don't you think so, Eunuch Wang?"
