Chapter 235 Pointing to a clear path(1/2)

Shao She turned around and looked at Shao You and said, "Brother, I'm very upset now. Don't be upset with me, okay?"

Shao You snorted, touched the blood on his forehead, and said, "You are irritable, aren't I irritable?" As he said that, he shook his sleeves, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Shao She shouted.

"Take Qing'er back and thank your highness!" Shao You said.

"Your Highness?" Shao She laughed twice.

"Didn't you just called that?" Shao You turned around and walked out with his hands on his back.

"Wait!" Shao She said.

"Well, what else is there?" Shao You asked in confusion.

"Do you know why Huan'er was angry with me?" Shao She frowned, "If he makes trouble for an assassin here, he doesn't want to bother me?"

"Are he angry with you?" Shao You didn't understand. He didn't seem to be angry when he looked at Shao Shuhuan. If he was angry, he wouldn't plead for Shao Qing. No matter what, it is always a fact that Shao Qing neglected his duties, and the punishment now is the lightest.

"If he didn't get angry with me, he wouldn't have issued an order to expel me!" Shao She smiled bitterly, puzzled. He didn't have any place to offend him? He thought he was late, so he didn't explain the trouble to him. But he didn't ask?

"Then I don't know!" Shao You said, turned around and left. He arrived at Yanziwu. Seeing that there were heavy troops nearby, he couldn't help but nod and sighed slightly. He walked to the door and clasped his fists to the servant at the door and smiled. "Shao You asked to see His Highness Huan."

"Your Highness is waiting for the lord inside!" Wang Tai smiled and greeted him from inside.

Shao You smiled and hurriedly walked in. In the study outside, Shao Shuhuan leaned lazily on the soft couch. Seeing him come in, he smiled and said, "Please sit down by Lord Shao."

"I dare not!" Shao Qing bowed and said. "I came here to thank His Highness Huan for his great kindness."

"What did Lord Shao say?" Shao Shuhuan smiled. "It's all my own people. Are you so polite? Sit down quickly!"

Seeing him saying this, Shao You sat down after he smiled and said, "For what happened today, I will take the help of His Highness. Otherwise, my evil deeds will be in danger." Although Shao She said that Your Majesty will not really kill Shao Qing. But the jail disaster is inevitable. Once Your Majesty issues an order, he will not advance for life. From then on, he will be a useless person. Although he is beaten, he is still a third-rank official. If Shao Shuhuan can win in the future, Shao Qing will use it himself...

Shao You clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, whenever there is any use to be a minister in the future, your Highness will just give orders."

Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, "Mr. Shao. Just call him the word "Your Highness" in front of His Majesty. When there is no one, you should call me Shuhuan. It will make me feel uncomfortable. Even if I am a prince, I will always be your junior, right?"

"I dare not give in!" Shao You hurriedly said.

"Oh, by the way, look, I forgot the serious matter. I have ordered someone to send him back to the house. I have greeted him in the inner guards. Therefore, the injury is not serious and can be cured for several days of cultivation. I have given him a half month off. Bring me a message to him so that he can recover from his wounds with peace of mind. I am still waiting for him to go to Dazhoushan to train troops so that he can join in the fun." Shao Shuhuan said with a smile.

"Yes!" Shao You clasped his fists and said, "I thanked Your Highness." He paused and asked in confusion, "What kind of training in Dazhoushan?"

"Your Majesty gave me three thousand personal soldiers. Qingyao Villa can't use so many people. Please pay attention to me. I'm idle, so it's better to go to Dazhou Mountain to practice soldiers." Shao Shuhuan explained.

"Nothing!" Shao You frowned, then stood up and said, "Your Highness, don't misunderstand me. I am saying that I am not a good man. This training requires the Ministry of War to give instructions. Does Your Majesty know?"

"I asked for an order yesterday, but Your Majesty didn't say anything." Shao Shuhuan smiled. "As for the instructions from the Ministry of War, it's even simpler. Just give it a message."

"Your Highness wants to play. I should follow the order." Shao You smiled.

Shao Shuhuan smiled, but said in his heart that "old fox" was "old fox". Why did the old fox like Shao She just want to play? It was obviously his son who came up with a bad idea. That's good. It's okay to train a soldier, but if something happens, it will be his Shao Shuhuan's business.

Thinking about it, when he attacked the former Nanyin Kingdom, Shao You was the chief general, and he and Prince An only fought against Nanyin to destroy the country. If he had no scheming and courage, could he have been able to become the Minister of War?

"Let's talk about it when the son's injury is healed!" Shao Shuhuan smiled, "Otherwise, you can't play if you want to."

"Yes!" Shao You hurriedly agreed, got up and said goodbye, "It's still early, your highness should rest, I will leave."

"Wang Tai, send Lord Shao out!" Shao Shuhuan ordered.

Wang Tai came in and sent Shao You out.

Shao Shuhuan waited overnight, but did not wait for Dugu Lanyu. Instead, Wang Zhennan reported: "The capital is now in a mess, and the imperial guards searched for assassins everywhere."

Shao Shuhuan was worried about Lonely Lanyu, so he ordered Wang Zhennan to take a few guards to go all over the street to inquire about her news.

The next morning, when the imperial guards made such a fuss, everyone knew that Qingyao Villa had a fuss about the assassin last night, and injured the Qingqiu exiled immortal. His Majesty was furious.

In the morning court, all the ministers were trembling. Who knew that His Majesty was angry today, for fear that someone would accidentally anger His Majesty and would be affected by the fish in the pond.

Therefore, many ministers were not willing to take out some insignificant memorials.

Sure enough, in the morning court, Emperor Zhou ordered the Ministry of Justice to assist Prime Minister Shao She to find the assassin and the mastermind within fifteen days. The morning court was covered with a sense of hostility and dispersed. Shao She left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and walked out step by step along the smooth stone steps.

"Mr. Shao...Mr. Shao, please stay." Zhang Derong shouted hurriedly.

Shao She stopped and Zhang Derong walked over quickly. Seeing that there were still many court officials around him who had dispersed, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Master Shao, go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince for a favor."

"Crown Prince?" Shao She was stunned. What happened to the prince at this time?

Zhang Derong sighed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince came to Jingyang Palace early this morning to pay his respects to His Majesty. I don't know how to hit His Majesty, but I am still kneeling at the gate of Jingyang Palace."

"Ah?" Shao She was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

"I don't know the specific reason very well, anyway----" Zhang Derong said this, looking around alertly. Then he whispered, "It has something to do with last night."

"This... why did you get the prince again?" Shao She suddenly felt that his head was bigger than the two. What a mess?

"I don't know this. Lord Shao, Your Majesty is holding a stream of evil fire in his heart." Zhang Derong sighed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is afraid this time..."

"Eunuch Zhang. I don't want to say anything to His Highness the Crown Prince now." Shao She smiled bitterly, "Think about it, if I go to plead with love now, will the Crown Prince have another charge of colluding with foreign ministers?"

"You will not be able to go!" Zhang Derong smiled and said, "Mr. Shao, you have always been a smart person, why are you confused today? You don't have to go. Just let Your Highness Huan enter the palace and tell your prince a love affair. It will be fine."

"He?" Shao She shook his head and said, "Eunuch Zhang doesn't know anything. Yesterday you and His Majesty left. He drove me out. I thought about it all night, but I couldn't figure out what happened to provoke him. I'm afraid it wouldn't work to ask him to plead for His Highness. Moreover, if he lets him plead for His Highness, wouldn't it be more and more darker?"

"Then... just watch the prince suffer?" Zhang Derong frowned.

"That's all!" Shao She whispered, "Eunuch Zhang, please bring a message to His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if he has a huge grievance these days, let him bear it and go and don't argue with His Majesty, otherwise he will be unable to deal with it. I will naturally take care of the outside."

Zhang Derong heard what he said, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm going."

Shao She nodded and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

Zhang Liang stood at the palace gate, stretched his neck and waited for a full stick of incense before seeing Shao She come out. He didn't care about any etiquette, so he grabbed him, pulled him to the palace wall, and whispered: "Mr. Shao, you're going to give the officials a clear instruction."

"What?" Shao She said, "clear instructions? What instructions are you?"

The weather was already very cold at the end of October, but Zhang Liang felt a little hot and whispered: "Things happened in Qingyao Villa last night."

"Your Majesty ordered you to solve the case in half a month?" Shao She said deliberately.

"Mr. Shao, can you give up and sit down when you have time?" Zhang Liang said. "It is not convenient to speak here."

Shao She thought for a while and nodded, "Well."

The two of them sat in a sedan chair. They went to Zhang Liang's mansion and sat down in the study. The servant brought tea to him and hurriedly retreated. Zhang Liang sighed: "Your exiled immortal scattered man--Your Highness Huan is really the ancestor who caused trouble. How have you been back for a few days? Why are you going to have trouble?"

Shao She said nothing, just holding the teacup and pondered.

"Xiaguan had already gone to Qingyao Villa this morning to inquire about the whole matter." Zhang Liang said again.

"Do you have the foresight?" Shao She smiled. The morning court issued an order for him to handle the case. He had actually been to Qingyao Villa before the morning court.

"Last night, the Imperial Guard did not let the Ministry of Justice be peaceful for a moment. Even if I wanted to let go, if I did this, who else could I find if I didn't look for the Ministry of Justice?" Zhang Liang sighed, "Although I am a little confused, I am not as confused as I am."

"Don't complain, okay?" Shao She said.

"Complaint?" Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Mr. Shao, can I not complain? From Qingzhou to the capital, there were more than ten murders of Golden Dragon Panyue, and the disappearance of Prince An's princess, although it was Xuan Ji's inner guard who was investigating, he asked my Ministry of Justice to cooperate with the investigation--now, the case is becoming more and more confusing. After half a year of investigation, no one was found. For this reason, I don't know how many times have I been scolded by His Majesty.

Now, Qingyao's other courtyard has had an assassin again. Fortunately, His Highness Huan was only slightly injured. The lower official kept thinking today that if His Highness Huan was assassinated last night, I wonder how many people would be unlucky with him now."

"How do you say it!" Shao She put down the teacup in his hand and was assassinated. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shivered.

"Mr. Shao, don't think that Xiaguan's words are not nice. Xiaguan is just saying this. The officials who were in the scene of the crime have been seen, but it is dangerous. Xiaguan's words are not impossible..." Zhang Liang said, "Your Majesty is ordered to solve the case in half a month. Lord Shao, you can give Xiaguan a clear way. How can I solve this case?"

When Shao She heard this, he could only sigh. He was also upset about the same problem.

Zhang Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip of the teacup, put it down, pointed to the outside and said, "Now the imperial guards outside. As long as they look a little bit, they will be arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. One morning, hundreds of people were arrested--the entire Ministry of Justice prison is now full of grief. If they let them arrest people like this, I promise that the prisoners will build their own cells in less than three days."

Shao She couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the Minister of Justice also had a humorous side, and the prisoner built his own cell?

"You can still laugh?" Zhang Liang said.

"If you come to me, you will never ask me to discuss how feasible it is to build a prison cell by this prisoner?" Shao She said.

"Okay. I'm serious!" Zhang Liang said, "There are only a few masters who make trouble for the Qingyao Villa. Which ordinary person is full and wants his life? But, Lord Shao, how should you investigate the case?"

"I think Mr. Zhang has a plan in his mind?" Shao She slowly put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Isn't it true that Lord Shao is in his heart? Think about it, who most wants the master of Qingyao Villa to die?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Shao She said directly, but there was no need to avoid it at all.

"Yes!" Zhang Liang said, "Everyone knows that the existence of His Highness Huan is now in danger of reaching the position of His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Majesty's intentions are so obvious."

Shao She shook his head and said nothing.

Zhang Liang paused and said, "So, as long as there is a turbulence in the Qingyao Villa, everyone's eyes will involuntarily focus on the Eastern Palace. Your Highness the Crown Prince is not stupid, so he naturally understands this truth. Therefore, he will never dare to act rashly at this time. Because he also knows that once he takes action, even if he really kills Your Highness Huan, how can you forgive him if your Majesty pursues him?"

"Yes!" Shao She nodded, "I also feel that the East Palace will not do such a self-destructive thing."

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "This problem is here. If the Eastern Palace is excluded, then the remaining one is His Highness the Second Prince. This is a good idea. Once His Highness Huan is killed, he will blame the Eastern Palace. Then he will be the biggest beneficiary. Your Majesty has no other descendants. But such a simple matter is not a fool, right?"

"So, neither the Second Prince nor the Prince are suspicious?" Shao She asked.

"No!" Zhang Liang shook his head flatly, "The Second Prince and His Highness are half-to-half-point, and both of them may be able to make the blame on each other."

Shao She nodded and frowned, "Then what do you think is the more suspicious of these two people?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhang Liang said, "The Second Prince cannot do anything at this time. However, the assumptions I just assumed were based on the assassination of His Highness Huan, but the current situation is different."

"Oh?" Shao She raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?" He has always heard that Zhang Liang has a good way to solve the case, and it seems that he is really tricky.
