After seeing Jiang Yuling, Shen Tianshu went to the house next door and saw Xie Yan again after a long time.
"Miss Shen, I encountered some unexpected things when I went out this time. I was unable to contact you in time. Now the situation has changed somewhat."
When saying these words, Xie Yan was actually a little embarrassed.
As a secret guard trained by the Prince Rui's Palace, something that was originally not complicated was done like this, and it really felt like it was a disgrace to the Prince's Palace.
"It's no wonder this happened so suddenly." Shen Tianshu didn't mean to blame Xie Yan.
The Xu family has been in charge of the family for several years. Even if Mrs. Shen takes back the housekeeping and financial rights this time, it is impossible to completely cut off her access to the family.
Now, just in time, it would be easier to force out her last trump card and close the net.
"I remember that my father tried to catch Brother Dao several times, but in the end the ones he caught were all little minions. It's probably not that easy to take action against them."
Xie Yan did not hide anything and said: "The prince has sent extra people to help. Master Shen is in the light and we are in the dark. We must not let him escape this time."
Shen Tianshu did not expect that Li Zian would get involved in the affairs of Yongzhou Mansion, but as the vassal king of Huguang, it was normal to deal with these matters.
"You plan to take the opportunity of catching Lao Dao to send Zhao Haijun to my father?"
"Yes." Xie Yan said, "Don't worry, Miss Shen, I have received the medicine you sent and I know what to do."
Shen Tianshu returned to Shen's mansion, and Xie Yan took Zhao Haijun to find Shen Zhonglei.
Shen Zhonglei followed Xie Yan's request and came to the flower hall to meet him alone without bringing any of his men.
As soon as he entered the room, his attention was attracted by the scene behind Xie Yan.
There was a stretcher on the ground behind Xie Yan, and on it lay a person dressed in women's clothing. His face was covered by a hat, covering him from head to toe.
But no matter from his height, frame or big feet, it is obvious at a glance that he is a man, not a woman.
"Master Shen, this is the target that Lao Dao wants to attack this time." Xie Yan said solemnly, "This time we have to follow Lao Dao's every move in the dark. It is really inconvenient to take this person with us, so I think it would be safer to place the person in the government office.
"But my lord has said before that I suspect that the government office may have an informant bribed by Lao Dao, so I will leave two subordinates to help protect this person's safety."
"Xie Tong has met Mr. Shen."
"Xie Qi has met Mr. Shen."
The two men who carried Zhao Haijun over immediately clasped their fists and saluted Shen Zhonglei.
Shen Zhonglei naturally had no objection to this arrangement, but he still had doubts about this arrangement.
"I wonder if the prince has any instructions for this operation?" No wonder Shen Zhonglei asked such a question.
He is still confused about the whole operation. The only thing he knows is that Li Zian sent people to help him eliminate Lao Dao and his associates.
"Master Shen, don't worry. In fact, what happened this time was all a coincidence." Xie Yan said, "I took people out on business. When I came back, I passed Hengzhou Mansion and met someone chasing Zhao Haijun and Zhao Zhao who was sleeping in the room. Brother, we happened to chase him into the ruined temple where we rested temporarily.
"Originally we didn't want to get involved in these disputes, but first Brother Zhao knelt down and begged us for help, and secondly those who were chasing him actually planned to kill three of us to silence us, so we had no choice but to save Brother Zhao.
"I thought the matter would just go away, but I didn't expect that just because of this attack, more killers would be attracted.
"After all, we are in Huguang. When we encounter such a thing, we can't just stand by and watch. So while protecting Brother Zhao, we explored the other party's details. Unexpectedly, we tracked down the old man from Yongzhou Prefecture. On the blade.
"This old swordsman is not only a serious concern of your Yongzhou Mansion, but also the number one person on the Prince's desk to the Prince's Mansion.
"So I immediately asked the Crown Prince for instructions, and the Crown Prince sent more manpower to signal me to ask for help from you, cooperate with your instructions, and strive to use this opportunity to completely eradicate Lao Dao's influence."
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, his eyebrows immediately relaxed.
This statement couldn't be more clear. In this case, Prince Rui's Mansion didn't want to take credit at all, but wanted the Yongzhou Mansion to take the lead. They just sent a few people to help cooperate.
Although it was unclear why Prince Rui's Palace would hand over such a great contribution to his hands in vain, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but get excited.
"Thanks to the prince for not giving up, Shen will do his best and cooperate with Mr. Xie to eradicate this old knife that has been tormenting the people for many years."
"Okay, once there is new news from my side, I will immediately send someone to inform Mr. Shen."
After finishing talking about the business, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but curiously asked: "I wonder why this dear friend was hunted down by Lao Dao's people?"
"I have asked several times, but he always gave me vague answers, or simply asked questions without knowing anything. This man hides his head and tail. If he had not been used as bait in order to catch Lao Dao, he would have been let out to fend for himself. "Yes." Xie Yan shook his head to express his ignorance, and then said: "So when we came here this time, we were afraid that this man would cause trouble and die, so we put some poison in his food.
"My lord, there is no need to make any announcement. All I need to do is find a room to accommodate my two men and this person."
"This is a simple matter. I dare not say anything else. There is indeed no shortage of empty rooms in the government office."
Shen Zhonglei is still very concerned about catching Lao Dao. After all, if he can really succeed, it will be a great achievement for him, and his promotion next year will be basically guaranteed.
So he was worried that the news would leak out, so he didn't call his men over. He went out first to ward off everyone, and then led the way himself.
Xie Yan followed Shen Zhonglei, while Xie Tong and Xie Qi carried Zhao Haijun and followed him to a small courtyard behind the study.
The yard is not big, with only three main rooms.
"Occasionally, I am busy with work and can't think of going back to the back house, so I will take a short break here.
"The yard here is not big, but if you want to enter, you must pass through my study. Only my close friends can enter.
"I will tell others not to come near this place recently. Everything in the house is quite complete. If you need anything, just come to me directly."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Xie Yan looked around and was quite satisfied with the place, and motioned to his men to carry him into the back room.
However, just as the two men were carrying the stretcher and walked past Shen Zhonglei, Xie Tong suddenly tripped and stumbled.
The stretcher also swayed from side to side.
Although Xie Qi behind him tried his best to stabilize himself, after all, there was an adult man on the stretcher, and he was not light. In the end, he fell from the stretcher and fell at Shen Zhonglei's feet.
"Why are you so careless!" Xie Yan scolded in a low voice.
Xie Tong and Xie Qi hurriedly apologized to Shen Zhonglei.
Shen Zhonglei was currently staring at the person who fell at his feet, unable to care about anything else!
