Fan Ziyi received a message from Shen Wenyuan, thought about it again and again, and decided to help.
In the current situation, it is definitely impossible for the Shen family to support the prince. Unless Shen Wenyuan comes back, there will be a turning point.
"Deploy a secret guard to intercept and kill Shen Baiting!"
……
Go north on the official road.
Shen Wenyuan lay in the carriage and cursed Taifu Shen secretly.
"The medicine my mother asked me to give you." Shen Boting handed him a medicine bottle with a complicated expression.
Shen Wenyuan ignored him.
He doesn't know how to use the medicine given by Shen Boting. Who knows if he can poison it.
Seeing this, Shen Baiting didn't say much to him, placed the medicine bottle in his hand, turned around and walked out of the carriage.
"Young Master, there are bandits!" the guard shouted nervously.
I saw a group of masked bandits riding horses and holding long knives in the distance, rushing over from the dense forest on both sides of the official road.
"Be careful with defense!" Shen Baiting's expression also changed.
When the two sides fought, the Shen family guards were beaten to a pulp.
Shen Wenyuan heard the movement outside the carriage and quickly raised the curtain to look outside.
Bandits!
It seems that Fan Ziyi's people are here.
Shen Boting is dead today!
But the next moment, he saw the leading bandit charging towards him.
what happened?
Shen Wenyuan was shocked and was picked up by the bandit.
After catching Shen Wenyuan, the bandits immediately rushed out like a tide.
"Sir, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to catch up with the bandits." The guard apologized.
Shen Baiting counted the casualties. Except for Shen Wenyuan who was arrested, no one was killed.
He didn't know who captured Shen Wenyuan.
Or maybe, Shen Wenyuan himself found someone to "capture" him?
He knew very well that Shen Wenyuan had always regarded going to Northern Xinjiang as a way to die, and he hated himself for being escorted there.
"Go back and report this to your father first," Shen Baiting said.
Further away, the Fan family's secret guards had been lying in wait for a whole day, but they still did not wait for Shen Wenyuan and his party.
……
Near the official road, deep in the dense forest.
Shen Wenyuan was thrown to the ground by the leading bandit.
The bandit pulled off his mask, and it was Jingzhe. He saluted the two people sitting in the shade of the tree drinking tea in front of him:
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, Shen Wenyuan has been arrested!"
Shen Wenyuan looked at the man and woman in horror: "Jiang Rong, you... what are you going to do?"
"Kill you." Jiang Rong said coldly.
Hearing that Master Shen was going to send Shen Wenyuan to Northern Xinjiang, Jiang Rong came over to eliminate the roots.
She would not give Shen Wenyuan a chance to come back for revenge.
Back then, he bribed a group of bandits to kill Jiang Rong. Now Jiang Rong also arranged for a group of "bandits" to kill him.
One drink and one peck, the cycle of cause and effect.
"How dare you! My father will never let you go!" Shen Wenyuan looked stern but felt guilty.
Just now, I was cursing Taifu Shen in my heart, but in a critical moment, I still used his name to scare people.
"Not to mention whether Mr. Shen will become my enemy because of you after he knows the truth. He will not know the truth at all." Jiang Rong said calmly:
"He would only think that you didn't want to go to Northern Xinjiang and escaped on purpose. He still doesn't understand you, how could you escape? You would only kill Shen Baiting."
The Fan family guards were lying in ambush further ahead of them.
Jingzhe and the others had planned the location and struck first.
Shen Wenyuan's expression suddenly changed, and his face was ashen.
"I ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, you can die a little easier." Jiang Rong coldly glanced at Shen Wenyuan:
"Who was the person who bribed you to trick me into elopement?"
Shen Wenyuan's mind was racing, "Jiang Rong, I am sincere to you...no one is buying me off! There must be some misunderstanding between us!"
The next moment, Shen Wenyuan felt cold, knife-like gazes falling on him.
Looking up, Xie Lingxi stared at him indifferently.
That look was no different than looking at a dead person.
Shen Wenyuan was so anxious that he wanted to give himself a slap in the face. Why did he care about the beginning and not the end? Xie Lingxi was still here.
"Ahem... It is true that someone forced me to elope with you. When you were given the opportunity to marry the Prince of the North by the Queen Mother, I fully agree with such a good marriage!" Shen Wenyuan hurriedly clarified:
"But a masked man in black arrested me, put a knife on my neck, and forced me to elope with you... I was also forced to have no choice... I didn't expect that we encountered bandits on the way. It must be the masked man. Arranged by the interviewer!"
Jiang Rongdai raised her eyebrows coldly, "Masked man? Make it clear."
"I have never seen what he looks like. He is just a messenger. I really don't know who the master behind him is!" Shen Wenyuan told the truth.
Jiang Rong said, "Since you don't know anything, drag him down and torture him!"
"Wait a minute... I don't know who he is, but I have a clue! I needed to do something and asked him for help, and he arranged it for me! If he can do that, he must be a big man in the capital. Power!" Shen Wenyuan said covertly.
It was the matter of tampering with him on the ship.
Jiang Rong had already guessed:
"Nonsense, hold on."
"I really don't know who he is...Help..."
Shen Wenyuan was dragged down wailing.
Jingzhe was tortured to extract a confession, and it was confirmed that Shen Wenyuan knew nothing.
As for how to contact that person? Shen Wenyuan also recruited. Hang a lamp in Wenqu Temple in the north of the city and wait for the other party to send someone to find him.
The last time the other party was willing to help him, the condition given was to let him do another thing against Jiang Rong at the right time.
Waiting for news on what exactly to do and when to do it.
Finally, the dying Shen Wenyuan was carried to Jiang Rong.
"Jiang Rong, for the sake of past friendship, please spare me. I used to be very good to you..." Shen Wenyuan was filled with hatred in his heart, but on the surface he looked pitiful.
Shen Wenyuan once treated her very well.
But that's because Taifu Shen is still in exile. He wants to be the son-in-law of the uncle's house and greedily covets the family property left by Uncle Zhongyi.
The mere mention of this made her sick.
Jiang Rong took out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed him in the heart one after another without bothering to talk nonsense with him.
Blood splattered.
"Ho ho -" Shen Wenyuan's eyes were full of unwillingness and he glared at Jiang Rong with resentment, but he could do nothing and died of anger.
Jingzhe dragged Shen Wenyuan's body down.
Chu Shu came back from the front and reported: "The Fan family is still waiting for the target to appear, and there has been no change yet."
Xie Lingxi ordered, "Secretly take someone to follow Shen Baiting back to the capital, just in case."
"Yes." Chu Shu accepted the order and retreated.
People like the Shen family have nothing to do with Xie Lingxi. But because of Jiang Rong, he also protected him.
Jiang Rong raised his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxi, his eyebrows slightly curved, as gentle as the spring breeze, completely different from the cold and severe person who had just killed someone.
"Husband, let's go back too. Husband, could you please accompany me?"
"No trouble."
If Jiang Rong didn't come, he would send someone to kill him.
Jiang Rong looked at the handsome young master in front of him. He doesn't know how he developed a cold temperament. When facing the woman he fell in love with, he would not smile or get close to her.
If she hadn't known that Xie Lingxi was in love with her early on, seeing how cold he was, she wouldn't have been able to tell what he was thinking.
Her husband is cold, so of course she has to work hard to get close to him!
Jiang Rong leaned back deliberately.
Xie Lingxi immediately hugged her slender waist, and the tension in his eyes could not be concealed, "What's wrong?"
"He's bleeding." Jiang Rongrou leaned weakly in Xie Lingxi's arms, "I want my husband to take her back."
Jing Zhe on the side: First look at how many people you have killed before you say this?
But his master was very cooperative. He held the little girl in his arms and walked straight onto the carriage.
People will only act coquettishly towards those who indulge themselves.
Xie Lingxi only indulged Jiang Rong.
