Chapter 55
Chapter 55
The king regent confesses his heart out of his heart, and there will always be some unwelcome interruptions!
Shen Yi's plan was very good, but it's a pity that Xu Muzhou was determined not to accept the move.This piece of walnut candy was placed in front of him. After all, it was brought by the Prince Regent himself. No matter out of courtesy or due to his majesty, everyone picked up a piece and ate it one after another.
Xu Muzhou, on the other hand, saw Shen Yi's craftsmanship mixed in at a glance - if it wasn't from his own hands, it would be impossible for Shen Yi to mix in what others did.
Shen Yi is like this, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even if it's just such a trivial matter as forcing Xu Muzhou to take a bite of what he gave him.
Xu Muzhou could see that it came from his sincerity, but in Prince Shen's sincerity, there was also a natural cunning.
In the past, Xu Muzhou loved his cunning, but now, Second Young Master Xu just followed the crowd's action of eating, and always cleverly avoided the sugar tablets made by Shen Yi himself.
Almost all of Shen Yi's little thoughts in it entered the Wu Zang Temple of A Yuan and Shi Daoqing.
And all of this, Shen Yi saw it bit by bit.There were dense needle-like stinging pains in his heart again, and his chest was also a little sore.
Xu Muzhou really knows how to treat him.
At this time, Shi Daoqing said, intentionally or unintentionally, "Apprentice, do you not like sweets, why do you only eat such a little?"
He was obviously talking about Xu Muzhou, but Shen Yi's face turned ugly.
Xu Muzhou knew that Shi Daoqing was just joking, so he just smiled and asked Shen Yi: "Prince Shen said that there is an important matter today, I don't know, what is it?"
"The case of the gunpowder explosion in Pianzhou City has been filed for a long time, but no clues can be found. The court attaches great importance to this matter. Regarding the source of gunpowder, how it was transported, and why it exploded, the ins and outs must be investigated."
Shen Yi really came here with a serious business in mind, but... he came to find Xu Muzhou for a business, or he found a serious excuse to meet Xu Muzhou, which is intriguing.
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has been investigating for half a month without any clue. It just so happens that Mr. Xu is the survivor of Wuji Villa. This king... wants to ask Mr. Second some things."
Although it was a high-sounding justification, when Shen Yi said it to Xu Muzhou, his face was half down, and he didn't dare to raise his head completely.
With such an appearance, there is no trace of an unruly evil king.
"Prince Shen, you don't need to be polite. Since this is a major court case, it is public and reasonable. Whatever you want to know, Mr. Xu will know everything and talk about it."
Xu Muzhou, however, would rather Shen Yi maintain his evil king's stance, after all, the grass-roots would not be close to the regent.
"..Okay..." Shen Yi thought for a while with self-deprecation, at least he was willing to be less polite to himself because of business, so what else could he force?
He restrained his expression and said seriously: "At that time, Second Young Master was in Wuji Villa, so we know who ignited the gunpowder?"
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, Shi Daoqing raised his eyebrows with surprise and amusement.Because they had just escaped from Wuji Mountain Villa, Xu Muzhou also asked the same question when they talked about the gunpowder explosion for the first time.
Shi Daoqing blinked at Xu Muzhou, meaning, you two still have a tacit understanding.
Xu Muzhou had nothing to do with his naughty, disrespectful master, and rolled his eyes helplessly, remembering what happened in Pianzhou City.
Who ignited the gunpowder covering the lower secret passages of Wuji Villa is indeed a big question.At that time, Xu Muzhou and Na Jiangtouer were fighting each other, and before the two of them could finish speaking, there was an explosion from the ground.
Xu Muzhou and Jiang Tou'er were very close face to face, and when the flames appeared, he clearly saw the shock and surprise on Jiang Tou'er's face.
Even though the fellow later pulled him crazily and wanted to die together, at least the order to ignite the gunpowder was not given by Jiang Touer.
"In the villa, is there someone with a higher status than Jiangtouer?" Shen Yi half-closed his eyes, as if he was asking Xu Muzhou, or thinking for himself.
"No." Xu Muzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, "At least, as far as I can see, there is none. Jiang Touer is the rudder master of the Red Flower Society, and the Red Flower Society does not have a general rudder. Lord. As long as Jin Qiansui did not go to Pianzhou in person that day..."
"There should be no one who can make decisions better than Jiangtouer."
Those who went to the Hero Club that day, although they were all gang leaders, were all gangs willing to join the Red Flower Club.According to Xu Muzhou's observation, all of them were obedient and obedient to Jiang Touer's words.Would such a person dare to ignite gunpowder privately?
Furthermore, Jin Yuxian was seriously suspicious. Except for those who were absolutely trustworthy, he probably wouldn't let others know about the gunpowder arrangement.
"Moreover," Shen Yi answered Xu Muzhou's words, "According to the information report from Pianzhou, every gang participating in the hero meeting suffered casualties of varying severity due to the explosion, without exception."
"If it is one of them who ignited the gunpowder privately, at least they will withdraw their own people first."
Xu Muzhou looked up, and it happened that Shen Yi was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two suddenly met, and for a moment, they both saw through what the other was thinking.
That's right, it wasn't Jiangtouer's order, nor was it the private behavior of other gangs. Jin Yuxian stayed in the imperial city that day and never took a step forward. by outside third parties.
In fact, long before Xu Muzhou went to Pianzhou, Shen Yi received a tip about the smuggling of gunpowder from the Red Flower Society, and he knew it was Jin Yuxian's order.
And gunpowder is different from other objects, and its source is not difficult to trace.Shen Yi's purpose today is to use Xu Muzhou's personal experience to confirm whether the facts are as he thought.
If there is really a third-party force that fishes in troubled waters, then things will be too complicated.
And this happened to be something that Xu Muzhou wanted to confirm.
"Even if it wasn't the gunpowder that Jiangtouer lit, it might not be the eunuch's order." Shi Daoqing questioned, "Jin Yuxian has been crazy for half his life, maybe the little thief in purple who died in Wuji Villa is just a Useless pawns."
"If it's gone, it's gone. Who knows if he's planning some bigger conspiracy."
What Shi Daoqing said was not unreasonable. The sudden explosion of gunpowder may indeed have been intentionally done by Jin Yuxian, in exchange for something more useful at the cost of damaging a sub-rudder master.
But.. "No, Jin Yuxian is crazy, but he is definitely not stupid. Do your calculations carefully, what benefits has he gained?"
Xu Muzhou put himself in Jin Qiantui's shoes and thought for a while, and then found that he was really at a loss.
"I think it's not just us, I'm afraid Jin Yuxian is the person in this world who most wants to know how gunpowder ignites."
"So, my lord might as well use my strength to do my best. If you want to come to Jin Qiansui, you are also desperately investigating."
Shen Yi tilted his head to look at Xu Muzhou's speech, his eyes were full of undisguised appreciation, and a little bit of controlled tenderness.
That tenderness is clearly saying that after such a long time, you are still as smart as I remembered.
"However, with Jin Yuxian's behavior, if he can't find out the reason, or give him a satisfactory answer, then in such a disastrous situation, no one can say what he will do."
"Second Master Xu is a survivor of the disaster, so be careful. Maybe Jin Yuxian will bite you back." Shen Yi went to listen to Yuyuan today to give this advice.
His current state of mind is almost like a war.Shen Yi would not allow anything that might hurt Xu Muzhou to happen.
Xu Muzhou also agreed with Shen Yi's worries, but he could only pretend that he had never seen the emotion in that person's eyes, and thanked him politely.
Half an hour later, Shen Yi should have gone to the Prince Regent's Mansion. After all, it's not easy to leave his official duties behind.
But before leaving, Shen Yi called Xu Muzhou, begging him to give him a ride, at least...send him out of the gate of Ting Yuyuan.
Xu Muzhou fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, calmly sent Prince Shen to the door, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yi's voice was small, but he could hear the eagerness, even like a poor animal about to be abandoned.
Xu Muzhou had heard this kind of tone before when Shen Yi met Si Heng on the street and begged him in a panic not to leave the room more than a year ago.
It is undeniable that Xu Muzhou's heart trembled slightly at this moment.But he maintained his superficial calm and stood there waiting for Shen Yi's next words.
What Pei Yunchu said was right, even if Shen Yi appeared in front of him, he should take it calmly, this is the real letting go.And since he is seeking relief, he always has to face the fluctuations before he completely broke away.
"..you now..do you hate me to death.."
Shen Yi also stayed where he was, not daring to approach Xu Muzhou at all.
Even if he resorted to words, Shen Yi was terrified. He was afraid that no matter what he said, it would only arouse Xu Muzhou's disgust.
But he decided to say something, and he wouldn't just swallow it back:
"I'm sorry. I made mistakes in the past. I abandoned you first. I didn't count what I said. I trampled on our friendship. I'm not afraid to admit my mistakes to you. I'm afraid to experience it again...the news of your death."
Seeing that Xu Muzhou didn't seem to reject him, Shen Yi took two steps forward, "I was too stupid before, so I should just ignore it and put you under my nose."
He really felt that he was stupid. If he had known this, he shouldn't have been afraid of the Red Flower Society and the Green Flower Society. He should have just led his troops to Xialiang County to snatch Xu Muzhou out.
Xu Muzhou wanted to draw a clear line with Shen Yi, but after hearing him speak so brazenly, he still couldn't help but want to refute - take it out?How to pick up?As soon as there is any disturbance on your side, Jin Yuxian's staff in Xialiang County will kill me immediately.
It's a pity that before Xu Muzhou could speak, a circle of officials surrounded the gate of Yuyuan, saying that the gunpowder explosion in Pianzhou City was related to Xu Muzhou, and they wanted to take him back to the Yamen for trial.
