Chapter 4 The emperor's power is like a prison, suppressing people with power(1/2)
"A distinguished person in the palace?"
Shen Fei frowned slightly and slowly put away the Xiuchun knife in his hand.
Then, he gave Cao Shuang a look, signaling him to calm down.
Cao Shuang released his grip on the handle of the knife and adjusted his mood.
"Come in!" Shen Fei sat down and ordered.
"Crack!"
The door was slowly pushed open, and a young man in Feiyu uniform walked in.
Shen Fei glanced at the young man's embroidery, which was light black, and he knew it in his heart, and ordered: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The light black color represents the general flag or the small flag. In the Nanzhen Fusi General Yamen, people with this official position can be said to be the lowest existence everywhere.
Of course, if placed somewhere, it would be considered a big official position!
"Back to Mr. Shen, the person who came here has a palace badge. He looks very expensive. He is probably a certain prince." The young man replied respectfully.
"Prince?" Shen Fei's eyes flickered, and he felt a little confused. He had never interacted with the prince, so what exactly did he want to do when he came to visit late at night?
"Well, I understand."
Shen Fei gave Cao Shuang a look calmly and strode out.
He is going to welcome the prince's visit!
And this person cannot be kept!
After Shen Fei left, the young man bowed his head respectfully to Cao Shuang and said, "Master Cao, I will leave first."
"Resign? What's the rush?" Cao Shuang showed a ferocious smile, pulled out the Xiuchun knife, and took advantage of the young man's unpreparedness to raise his hand and strike.
As soon as the knife flashed, the young man slashed his throat and died on the spot.
Cao Shuang skillfully took out a bottle of bone powder from his arms and poured the white powder onto the young man's body.
"Zizzizi..."
The corpse instantly decomposed and emitted white smoke, and a foul odor emitted.
The young man's body was visibly decomposed and disappeared, leaving only a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife.
"Boy, don't blame me, who told you to come at the wrong time?"
"We can't afford to gamble on losing our heads!" Cao Shuang began to clean the scene, gradually removing the traces.
That night, a small flag officer of the Imperial Guard disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again...
On the other side, Shen Fei came to the Jinyiwei Hall and saw the visitor.
"Jinyiwei Qian is with Shen Fei and has met the noble man." Shen Fei didn't know which prince the visitor was, but the due etiquette was indispensable.
No matter who it is, he doesn't dare to neglect it!
The visitor turned around, put down his black robe and hat, and revealed his appearance.
With sword eyebrows and starry eyes, jade trees facing the wind, his appearance is extraordinary.
There is an aura of nobility about him, which is beyond words. No matter who sees him, he will say, "You are a handsome and handsome young man!"
"Let me introduce myself, I am Zhu Youji." Zhu Youji looked at Shen Fei and said softly.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Fei's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly knelt down and saluted, saying: "I have met His Highness the Fourth Prince!"
The fourth prince, Zhu Youji, is the most powerful and prestigious prince in the world today.
Since the sudden death of the prince, the fourth prince is the most promising to become the heir apparent!
The mother-in-law behind him, Concubine Wan Guifei, is truly a person at the pinnacle of power!
"Okay, I'm here in plainclothes, so you don't have to be polite." Zhu You said calmly.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!" Shen Fei said quickly: "Your Highness, please sit down, I didn't entertain you well, I still hope Haihan!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Youji hummed softly and sat down slowly. He did not refuse Shen Fei's flattery.
"Your Highness, please have some tea!" Shen Fei respectfully handed the tea to Zhu Youji.
"No hurry!" Zhu Youji looked at Shen Fei and said, "Do you know why I came?"
"Please give me your Highness's orders. I will fight to the death to complete it." Shen Fei's face changed slightly and he quickly flattered him.
"Haha!" Zhu Youji chuckled, his expression suddenly changed, he stared at Shen Fei and said coldly: "You really deserve to die!"
"The villain is guilty!" Shen Fei quickly knelt down and said.
Although Shen Fei didn't quite understand what Zhu Youji meant, he was wrong and he had to admit it first no matter what.
The status of the two parties is different, and the fourth prince is right in everything.
Whether he is right or wrong, he is right.
You can only be a subordinate if you are wrong!
"You are guilty, but it is not unforgivable. We are not saints, how can we be blameless?" Zhu Youji returned to his calm demeanor.
Shen Fei's eyes flickered and he still said respectfully, "I hope Your Highness will save me."
"Lu Jin, I have a good relationship with you, right?" Zhu Youji said casually.
Shen Fei's face changed slightly, and he explained: "Lu Jin is my subordinate. We don't have close friendship with him on weekdays. It's just official business."
"Business?"
"What a business trip?"
"In the 24th year of Tianqi's reign, in Youxi Village, the eastern suburbs of Shuntian Prefecture, one hundred and eight people were murdered."
"The murder case in the Wang Family Courtyard of Shuntian Prefecture in the 26th year of Tianqi."
"In the 27th year of the Apocalypse, the house confiscation case of the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
…
"Do I have to tell you all of this?"
Zhu Youji looked at Shen Fei indifferently and said lightly.
In an instant, Shen Fei felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, sweating profusely, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
He...how could he know so clearly?
There are some things that even Cao Shuang has no idea about!
Shen Fei lowered his head, his eyes flashed continuously, his heart was in a mess, and he remained silent.
Zhu Youji picked up the tea cup and drank tea slowly. Looking at Shen Fei's appearance, his heart was as calm as water.
Just a few words can make Lord Qianshi of Jinyiwei feel as if they are facing a powerful enemy and feel uneasy!
This is the power of authority!
Dazzling!
"Please, Your Highness, save me." After Shen Fei was extremely entangled in his heart, he still did not dare to take action against Zhu Youji.
If Zhu Youji died in Jin Yiwei's hands, even if he had extraordinary abilities, he would never be able to escape.
"Of course I'm here to save you." Zhu Youji put down his teacup, stood up, looked at Shen Fei indifferently, and said: "About Lu Jin, my mother has hired a co-ordinator for me, and I will go and arrest him myself. Do you know what he should do?"
Shen Fei suddenly raised his head, and he instantly understood Zhu Youji's intention, and said quickly: "The villain must follow the horse's lead and do everything for His Highness."
"Do something for me..." Zhu Youji ordered.
"Yes, the villain will definitely finish it." Shen Fei said quickly.
"Don't do anything stupid, Lu Jin, I won't let him speak."
"Do good things for me, and glory and wealth will be yours."
"Remember, except for that matter, I don't want to see anyone from Nanzhen Fusi."
After Zhu Youji gave instructions softly, he slowly left the Jinyiwei Hall.
Shen Fei looked at Zhu Youji's back, his face was pale, and he murmured with lingering fear: "This Fourth Highness, he is so powerful!"
At this time, Cao Shuang walked in, looked at Shen Fei sitting on the ground, his face changed slightly, helped him up, and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
"Which noble person came just now?"
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince." Shen Fei replied.
"The fourth prince?" Cao Shuang's face changed slightly and he asked hurriedly: "What is he here for?"
"Help!" Shen Fei suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and responded: "Save your life and mine."
"Huh?" Cao Shuang was still puzzled and wanted to ask.
However, Shen Fei stretched out his hand and interrupted, "Okay, no need to ask more, this is a good thing, you don't have to worry about Lu Jin. Send someone to keep an eye on Beizhen Fusi to take a look at this time Whoever was sent out to arrest people came back and reported to me."
"I have something big that I need you to do..."
