"you!"

The people around him stepped forward and punched the person who had just let the cat out of the bag.

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows.

In the court, at least half of them are disciples of the Prime Minister, if not all of them. Even if they are not disciples, they are related to him in some way.

Those who are mortal enemies of the Prime Minister can be counted on one’s fingers.

Shen Wantang raised his eyes, looked at the beams, and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then it seems that there is only——"

"Xia Huai'en! Master Xia."

Shen Wantang spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on the few people.

They were stunned for a moment, and then pretended nothing had happened - it seemed that it was him.

She rescued Yue Fu for him and promised her the identity of a good family. Although she agreed to join Shen Wantang's camp, she still wanted to test Shen Wantang on this matter.

wrong……

Xia Huai'en is not that kind of person...

Shen Wantang's thoughts turned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Shen Wantang, don't even think about getting any information about Lord Xia from us."

After discussing for a while, one of them, determined to die, gave an impassioned speech.

Shen Wantang regained his consciousness, stood up, and leisurely put the teacup in his hand aside: "It doesn't matter, you have already given me the biggest clue, Shen thanks you very much."

Shen Wantang smiled calmly and spoke slowly.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

At that moment, several people in the prison finally reacted and kept patting their foreheads: "What a brain!"

After coming out of prison, Shen Wantang figured out everything.

Xia Huai'en has always been very careful in what he does. Even if he wants to choose people to destroy Shen Wantang's plan, he will definitely not choose these people with confused brains.

Thinking of this, Shen Wantang raised the corner of his mouth - Xia Huai'en was not making trouble, but helping.

In this case, the matter of recruiting soldiers in Shancheng was completely fictitious and was only intended to disturb the people.

Shen Wantang shook his head helplessly - it seems that this Lord Xia is also quite accomplished in fooling people.

After thinking everything through, Shen Wantang's steps became much lighter, and she walked to the front hall unknowingly.

"General, should we write a letter to the Marquis to ask him about this? This matter is of great importance."

The deputy general frowned slightly. These were all he could think of now.

Cen Xiao still couldn't believe that his father would do such a thing.

He rubbed his brows with his bony fingers, but at this moment, his mind was in a mess.

"General Cen."

Shen Wantang stepped in, and her voice echoed in the front hall.

Shen Wantang's voice was like a stream of sweet spring water flowing into Cen Xiao's heart. He suddenly raised his head, and the frown on his face relaxed a little.

He turned his head and ordered coldly: "You go down first."

The deputy general shook his head helplessly, turned and left the front hall.

"Don't worry about recruiting soldiers. It's time to think about returning to the capital."

Shen Wantang sat down leisurely.

The teacher returned to the court.

Now it is almost the twelfth lunar month. If the army moves fast, it will be able to reach the capital within a month. If it encounters other troubles on the way, it will be delayed.

"The matter of conscription..."

Cen Xiao was still a little confused.

Shen Wantang said calmly, "The new governor will be here soon. If we leave in time, this hot potato will naturally belong to the new governor."

That's a good idea.

Cen Xiao looked towards Shen Wantang, his eyes flickering.

"However, the rebels hiding in various villas cannot be executed."

Shen Wantang finally expressed her thoughts, and her eyes were extremely firm as she looked at Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows - could it be that he wanted to tell him everything that happened that night?

"Miss Shen, the Shen family is loyal to His Majesty. If you do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop people from talking nonsense, right?"

Cen Xiao raised his eyes with evil intent and asked with interest.

Knowing that Cen Xiao would ask this, Shen Wantang smiled calmly, his expression calm: "Could it be, General Cen, that you want to expose me to His Majesty?"

"General Cen, don't forget that the Shen family is His Majesty's confidant. Will His Majesty listen to what General Cen says?"

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea slowly.

Cen Xiao was not angry, but his eyes were more serious. He leaned his hands on the table and his head was tilted on his wrists.

"General Cen, we are now on the same boat. We all prosper together and suffer together. Think about the Marquis of Zhenbei who is far away in the border. He is old now, right? Let him worry less."

As she spoke, Shen Wantang turned around, smiled, and raised the corners of her eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, this little girl is really good at speaking.

He had no intention of reporting her. Cen Xiao smiled calmly and nodded, saying, "I know about Miss Shen's threat. Don't worry, for the sake of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, I will definitely not take this risk."

Looking at his half-smiley face, for some reason, it seemed like he was teasing a child.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"How is Miss Shen's capture of the bandits going? Do you need my help?"

Cen Xiao slowly stood up, walked in front of Shen Wantang, and raised his evil eyes.

It turns out that he knew nothing, but he said nothing?

Shen Wantang stood up and managed a smile: "Thank you General Cen for your kindness. It's just a small matter. I won't bother you."

After leaving a few words, Shen Wantang turned and left.

The mountain city seemed to have regained its former bustle, with more and more vendors setting up stalls on the streets every day.

After all, the New Year is approaching and every household needs to buy New Year’s goods.

Chen Kangjian, like the mountain city, has also regained its former vitality.

Now, I can stand up and walk a few steps.

But the poison on the arrow has not yet been eliminated from the body.

This is a huge project, so we can't rush it.

Most of the bandits had been captured and were being held captive in a mansion outside Zhangshan City, awaiting execution.

One day, the soldiers guarding the city gate came hurriedly.

"Report! The new prefect has arrived."

The newly appointed prefect?

All the soldiers were dressed neatly and went to the city gate to greet them.

The snow had not melted yet, but in order to facilitate communication, Cen Xiao sent people to clear the snow on the official road every day, so it was quite convenient for the prefect to travel along the road.

The carriage slowly stopped at the city gate.

The car curtain slowly opened, and a man in a green shirt slowly got out of the car.

Looking up, I saw that he was quite handsome, probably no more than twenty years old.

"You're so young and you can be the prefect? ​​I'm afraid you bought it with money!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at how fair he is. Can he stand this place called Shancheng?"

"I bet ten taels of silver that he can't stay in the mountain city and will be transferred back to the capital in March. Who wants to bet with me?"

The guards were talking a lot.

The prefect raised his head and glanced at the city wall.

For some reason, the new prefect's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness.
