Creation Color Master
Chapter 428 Xu's murderous intention
In the imperial capital, ever since Tang Tiansheng ordered a thorough investigation of Shen Moqian, the secret guards and shadow guards have begun to take action. For a time, everyone in the imperial capital was in danger.
Civil and military officials were extremely cautious in the court, and were also very careful when returning home, for fear that they would be accused of a crime if they were not careful.
Not only that, the princes who usually had minor frictions also stopped tacitly and watched the development of the incident in secret.
No one knows what the emperor wants to investigate.
Fengyi Hall, where Queen Li, the mistress of the harem, lived, is filled with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and with golden pillars and jade walls, revealing the dignity and elegance of the mistress of the Eastern Palace.
I saw a woman wearing a phoenix robe and a purple and gold rainbow crown on her head, accompanied by her maid, watering the green plants in the room.
The temperament of a model mother of the country is fully reflected in the woman, and this person is Queen Li.
He gently placed the jade bowl filled with clear water on the maid's tray. He had also heard about the emperor's anger during this period. The secret guards and shadow guards were all dispatched. Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?
The maidservant said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, you asked the servants to prepare everything. They are all carefully selected from the imperial kitchen. If the emperor knew that your majesty personally cooked porridge for him, he would definitely be very happy."
Li Wan'er gave a forced smile and said, "The emperor has been quite irritable lately, so Tremella and lotus seed soup is the best for clearing away heat and relieving internal heat."
Due to the information blockade, no one has figured out the specific situation yet.
On the other side, in front of the gate of Shen Moqian’s mansion in Jingyu City, a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar and wearing a dark purple shirt embroidered with a tiger hurried into the mansion.
The Jingyu guards on both sides stood there motionless, as if nothing was possible.
At this time, Shen Moqian was leisurely sipping tea in the lobby of the mansion when he heard shouting coming from outside.
"Shen Taishou, Shen Taishou"
After hearing the voice of the person coming, Shen Moqian smiled and took out a cup from the side.
Seeing the newcomer, Shen Moqian couldn't help but joked, "Isn't this our busy Xu? Where have you been making money these days? What brought you to my house today?"
Xu Wenjun was in a very anxious mood now, so he had no mood to listen to Shen Moqian's nonsense.
He waved his hand and said, "My Lord Shen, please stop teasing me. This is urgent, and you still have the leisure to drink tea here."
Shen Moqian smiled and personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Wenjie, placed it in front of him, and said, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Drink some water and talk slowly."
Xu Wenjie said directly: "Someone is targeting you, and you are still acting like nothing happened. Aren't you a little arrogant?"
Shen Moqian was stunned when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xu Wenjie chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, you don't even know yet, have you offended anyone outside?"
Shen Moqian thought about it carefully and said, "No, who can I offend? I haven't been out recently. Besides, in the entire Budweiser County, if I don't cause trouble for them, who would dare to cause trouble?"
Xu Wenjie narrowed his eyes. He knew that this was not Shen Moqian's arrogance. He did have such a status in Budweiser County.
Thinking of this, Xu Wenjie said, "Today I summoned my secret guards for something and found that one of them was missing. Later I found out that he had been killed."
"And I heard from my subordinates that someone seemed to be secretly watching them these past two days. The other party's hiding skills are very advanced, and they don't know who it is?"
Shen Moqian was shocked when he heard this, and he stood up and said, "What did you say? Is there something that even the secret guards can't figure out?"
Xu Wenjie shook his head and said, "Not only are their cultivation bases strong, but they also come and go without a trace. They always leave one step ahead, so the secret guards can only see a glimpse of their backs."
"I am sure that they are following orders from someone, and they are targeting you, our Lord Governor."
Shen Moqian paced slowly in the room, with a gloomy look on his face, and said, "Xu Wenjie, I don't care what method you use, just find these people for me. I will let Guo Ziming bring a hundred Jingyu Guards to assist you. Do you understand?"
Xu Wenjie put on a smile and said, "Haha, Lord Governor, please rest assured. I will be in charge of the secret guards this time. I like to clean up the rats hiding in the dark, especially watching them fight desperately."
After saying this, there was a hint of morbid madness.
Shen Moqian said coldly: "I will let Guo Ziming come to find you. I hope you can do what you say. However, I will only give you three days. I want a satisfactory answer after three days. Do you understand?"
Xu Wenjie smiled and said, "I understand. I have said everything I need to say. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, he turned around and walked outside without waiting for Shen Moqian's agreement.
Shen Moqian looked at Xu Wenjie's back as he left, as well as his presumptuous behavior. He turned his back and looked at the precious bow hanging on the wall, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Then a low murmur was heard.
"Xu Wenjie, do you really think that you can be on equal footing with me just by completely controlling the secret guards? And do you really think I didn't notice the little tricks you played behind my back?"
"You are only valuable in my hands. Once someone replaces you, you will die."
During the day, Chu Mo would disguise himself as a traveler staying in a hotel. Sometimes he would go out for a stroll with Yao Guangxiao and others who were disguised as guards.
Chu Mo walked leisurely on the street, listening to the hawkers' shouts from time to time.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, this way"
"Hey, this way"
Chu Mo felt someone calling him, so he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man waving at him excitedly at a stall not far away.
Chu Mo also smiled when he saw this person. He didn't expect to meet his acquaintance Chen Shan here.
Chu Mo walked over with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen Shan, you are here to set up a stall again, how is business?"
Chen Shan smiled naively and said, "Business is as usual, but I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you had left here a long time ago and went to Baisong Mountain."
Chu Mo smiled and said, "Hey, I was delayed by a small matter. I need to stay here for a while."
Just as the two were chatting, a sturdy man with a strong gait, wearing dark blue clothes, approached the stall.
Seeing that there was business coming, Chu Mo asked everyone to move to the side to leave more space.
The man glanced at Chu Mo and nodded slightly at him.
Afterwards, the middle-aged man stroked his short beard and carefully looked at the snake monster in the bamboo basket of the stall.
After looking at it for a while, the middle-aged man pointed at a snake that was as thick as his arm and covered with a layer of rock armor and said, "Brother, this sand-scaled python is rare in Yuzhou. How much do you want for it?"
Chen Shan seemed to know this man, and asked enthusiastically, "Master Shen, how about three hundred taels of silver for this sand-scaled python?"
The man stroked his short beard and frowned slightly, saying, "A first-level soul-enriching sand-scaled python, three hundred taels of silver, is a bit too much, but I'll buy it. Send it to my house later."
Chen Shan nodded in agreement. The man glanced at Chu Mo and turned away, walking towards the next stall.
Chu Mo asked Chen Shan and found out that the middle-aged man who bought the snake was Shen Moqian's second son Shen Yantian.
