Chapter 32: Suicide out of fear of crime, burning down Shen Mansion
"Get up."
Feng Chengzhou stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Wang Mingqiao quietly.
Wang Mingqiao stood up immediately and looked at Feng Chengzhou respectfully.
"How's Shen Shenmiao doing? Can you tell me anything?"
"Lord Hui Feng, Shen Shen Miao has not spoken until now. But today, he is moving to see the second prince. The official thinks that he may be letting go."
"There's another thing. Shen Shen Miao secretly compiled a list behind His Highness the Crown Prince's back. According to Shen Shen Miao, this list recorded the things he had done in helping the Crown Prince and other adults in the court evade taxes over the years. This If the second prince gets the roster, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Wang Mingqiao said solemnly.
After hearing this, Feng Chengzhou couldn't help but frowned. This matter can be big or small. If they get the roster first, they can live in peace. But if Li Tianqi gets it first, the prince's lineage may be All were punished for this.
"Shen Si Miao, where is the roster?"
Feng Chengzhou asked quickly.
"I haven't explained it yet, but in order to prevent the second prince from suspecting my subordinates, I have already informed the second prince of this matter. Sir, we must get this roster before the second prince!"
Feng Chengzhou nodded: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will find a way to do it. As for you, I am meeting you this time because the prince has something he needs you to do. Shen Shen Miao's life is always important to the prince. It is a scourge, but now that Shen Simiao is imprisoned in the sky prison, it is difficult for our people to get close to him, so this matter can only be left to you."
"Don't worry, sir. I know what to do. Shen Si Miao won't survive tonight!"
Wang Mingqiao's eyes narrowed and he said with murderous intent.
Feng Chengzhou nodded and immediately waved his hand.
Wang Mingqiao handed over his hands, exited the room, and left the teahouse. Feng Chengzhou did not stay in the teahouse for any longer, but found Li Qian and informed him about the roster.
"She Shen Miao didn't expect to be so guarded against this prince, Feng Chengzhou. No matter what, this list cannot fall into the hands of Li Tianqi! You can handle this matter!"
Li Qian also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately spoke in a deep voice.
Feng Chengzhou nodded and left the palace immediately.
On the other side, after Li Tianqi obtained the name list, he began to arrange for his cronies to search the Shen Mansion.
Under the cover of night, more than a dozen Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms swaggered into the Shen Mansion. Today's Shen Mansion is no longer the Shen Mansion it used to be. The Shen Mansion, which had lost its backbone, saw the Jin Yiwei coming and many guards did not dare to stop them. We can only let them search randomly.
However, these Jin Yiwei turned over the room, study, and even the ancestral hall where Shen Shen Miao lived, and did not see the so-called list. In desperation, they had no choice but to go back and follow Li Tianqi's instructions.
When Li Tianqi learned that they had not found the register, and it would be a long night with many dreams, Li Tianqi left the mansion with more than a dozen people and went to the prison. He planned to ask Shen Shenmiao personally where the register was.
However, when Li Tianqi arrived at the Tianlao, he found that the Tianlao was already in chaos, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Li Tianqi hurriedly walked towards the cell where Shen Shen Miao was imprisoned. When Li Tianqi arrived at the cell, what he saw was a corpse hanging from the beam, swinging from side to side.
Shen Shenmiao, dead!
"Who can tell me what happened?"
Endless anger burst out in Li Tianqi's heart. With a roar, several guards in imperial robes in front of the cell came to their senses. When they saw it was the second prince, they were so frightened that their legs trembled and they fell to their knees.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Several people's voices trembled and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Li Tianqi.
"Didn't I ask you to take a good look at him? Why did he die! Tell me! If you don't tell me something today, you will all go down and bury him with him!"
Li Tianqi was furious.
Once Shen Shenmiao died, this clue was lost. Where exactly the roster was hidden was undoubtedly not looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, a panicked voice came from behind. Wang Mingqiao was a little panicked when he learned that Shen Shenmiao had hanged himself out of fear of crime. Then when he came to Li Tianqi, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Wang Mingqiao, what on earth is going on?"
Li Tianqi looked at Wang Mingqiao with a cold face.
"Your Highness, this...this...this subordinate doesn't know. If it weren't for the people below to retaliate, I don't know that Shen Shen Miao would commit suicide out of fear..."
Li Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a meaningful look on his face.
Suicide out of fear of crime? I think it is appropriate to commit suicide.
Li Qian, Li Qian, I never thought that you would be so ruthless and ruthless in order to keep your secret. Shen Shenmiao has been following you for quite some time, but she still has not escaped from your grasp.
At this moment, Li Tianqi knew better than anyone else that Shen Shen Miao's death could never be that simple, and the prince must be behind it.
What he just couldn't figure out was that Shen Shenmiao was in the Tianlao, and the Tianlao was guarded by his own cronies. So how did Li Qian kill Shen Shenmiao?
Or is it that some of the people in front of him at this moment are spies planted by Li Qian?
But now, there is no time for him to think deeply about these issues.
After Shen Shen Miao died, the only thing that could help him now was the roster. Or maybe he thought of something, Li Tianqi's expression suddenly changed, he turned around quickly, and said sternly as he walked away quickly: "Quick! Go to Shen Mansion!"
At the same time, in the southwest of Kyoto, billowing smoke filled the air. The light from the sky illuminated the originally dark night like day.
Dong dong dong...
The banging sound of bamboo clappers and gongs was extremely harsh in the quiet night. Many people were awakened by the harsh sound.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Folks, come out and put out the fire!"
"It's the Shen Mansion! It's the Shen Mansion!"
"Quick, get water to put out the fire!"
…
The deserted streets were now filled with crowds of people. When the neighbors saw the flames soaring into the sky, they joined the fire-fighting team.
At this moment, Li Tianqi had also arrived belatedly with others.
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky in Shen Mansion, Li Tianqi gritted his teeth angrily, clenched his fists, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
The guards behind them all looked at each other, each with a look of astonishment on their face, but only Wang Mingqiao, who was behind Li Tianqi, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile...
