Afternoon session.

There were more than a dozen people kneeling on the execution ground, including Chi Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and their family members. Everyone was tied behind their hands, with a noose hanging from their heads. The executioner stood behind them, waiting for the death on the sundial. The shadow shifted to three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Snapped."

I don't know who threw a rotten egg at Chi Ji's face first, and the people who surrounded the execution ground three times inside and outside three circles were immediately inspired, and threw all the rotten vegetables, leaves, soup and rice in the basket in their hands on it. While smashing and cursing, the people on the execution ground were indignant for a while, and the people on the execution ground hurriedly covered their heads to avoid hitting themselves.

Chi Ji's eyes swept across the crowd like dead ashes, he was looking for someone, even if he was drowned in vegetable leaves, it didn't matter, when he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Wenxuan at the door of the restaurant, who was also looking at him, standing with his hands behind his back. On the steps, it seems that it is not one with this disturbing human farce.

Chi Ji's lips groaned a few times, and when he was about to die, he no longer had the strength to return to heaven. Now the person he cares about most is in the hands of Shen Wenxuan, but Shen Wenxuan is still the enemy he caused by his crimes. It is his retribution.

Chi Ji closed his eyes, bowed deeply in the direction of Shen Wenxuan, got up after a few breaths, turned to the southwest far away in the sky, and bowed again, he is a general, this is the most important gift, let's just make atonement .

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the executioner pulled down the noose from the gallows and put it around his neck, and tightened it tightly. Chi Ji was forced to raise his head violently. It can be seen that in his vain vision, he seemed to see the husband and child who gave him a new home, and the eldest princess who was kind to him.

If the eldest princess is the king, he must be the most loyal subordinate, with her husband and children by her side, why not? It would be great if he could see him more before.

Shen Wenxuan watched Chi Ji's body slowly fall down, lying on the ground with eyes closed, pale, breathless, and then was hastily wrapped in a straw mat before being dragged away, probably to be thrown into a mass grave. No monument and no tomb.

Shen Wenxuan lowered his eyes, watching the bustle slowly subside, the sky in the capital has changed.

Wang Muze finished communicating with someone on the other side of the street, and trotted over to whisper in his ear: "My lord, Chi Ji's family has been found, what should we do?"

Shen Wenxuan thought for a while, then glanced at the execution ground from the corner of his eye, and said, "Well, take care of them, put them in another place for a few days, and then send them to the original place, but keep an eye on them all the time, I don't believe that Chi Ji is here." Nothing was left of them."

"Yes." Wang Muze bowed his hands and stepped back.

The reason for holding it for a few days is for the evidence that Chi Ji handed over to others. He said that his family members will not be able to reach the destination before he dies. Those evidences will be exposed. He would like to see if it is true. If it is true, can he Wouldn't it be beautiful to bring down the conspiring queen.

Shen Wenxuan walked down the steps and went to the Liuli Shop not far away with his hands behind his back to have a look. There were spies staring at him ten meters away.

On the other side, on the outskirts of the capital, Chi Ji's husband, Qin Mu, was standing in the yard holding his son's hand. He had been looking in the direction of the capital. He had been standing here for a long time, feeling a little numb.

Chi Yi is now twelve or thirteen years old, and he already understands many things. He tried his best to suppress the anger, sadness, and pain in his heart, wiped away the tears on his face, and pretended to be strong like a man:

"Father, don't be afraid, even if father...is gone, I can protect you too."

Qin Mu lowered his head to look at him, and there was some light in the depths of his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the guards outside the courtyard. He didn't know those people, but he could feel that those people were not sent by his husband.

"Yi'er," Qin Mu squeezed his hand, and said softly, "No matter what those people tell you, don't believe it, don't tell them anything about your father, when you get to the place, daddy will take you away, stay away from these things A place of right and wrong."

Chi Yi nodded, and stared at the people outside the courtyard with fledgling viciousness.

The guards kept Chi's family here for two days before setting off to send them away. During this period, there was no movement in the capital. Shen Wenxuan wondered, where is the evidence?

Sitting at the counter, holding a soft white velvet cloth to wipe the newly arrived glazed porcelain, as well as various fresh antique jewelry bought from other places, all of which are very interesting to look at, Shen Wenxuan puts them in a brocade box as if after wiping, Put the lid on, these are the things he wants to send to the Empress Dowager's palace, to be precise, they are for Jiao Shihan.

Alas, people can't see it, so I can only send some things to alleviate the lovesickness, but he has been thinking about whether to pack a painter and send it in, so that he can pass some paintings every day——

Also, Ajiao's birthday was approaching, that is, the day before the Lantern Festival, Shen Wenxuan wiped his hands slowly and became a little careless.

His 17th birthday, his 16th birthday was not a good one, no matter what, he had to make his birthday a little bit happier.

Shen Wenxuan was thinking about it when suddenly someone tapped the table and asked, "Boss, how do you sell the glazed water in your hand?"

Shen Wenxuan raised his eyes, and saw a fair-looking young man, not prominent, but kind and round, pleasing to the eye.

"This one is not for sale, the guest officer can look at other things." Shen Wenxuan said, putting the water in his hand into the brocade box, he caught a glimpse of his whole body, both the clothes and the headband, from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but After a pause, it looks like wearing a filial piety.

The four princes died, white silks were hung everywhere in the capital, entertainment and meat were banned for three days, ordinary people had to tie a white belt to express their grief, but those who got a full set like this were more like relatives who were close to the royal family.

"May I ask what your son's identity is?" Shen Wenxuan asked directly, with a natural smile on his face.

Guest: "...Huh?"

Shen Wenxuan: "It's like this. There is an unwritten rule in this store. If a visitor is a first-time visitor and has a valuable status, he can choose any item in the store for free."

The visitor turned his back and said with interest, "How do you know it's my first time here?"

"Because I think the key to your son's face-to-face is to close your eyes," Shen Wenxuan said with a smile, "Of course you don't need this benefit, sir."

"Yes, why don't you?" Li Yu cupped his hands, "I'm Li Yu."

...Seventh Prince?

Shen Wenxuan sat up silently and looked at him again. He wanted to hang a royal family member, but he didn't expect to hang a big one. How can he say that there are so many mistresses in the store, and they came here for him as the boss.

Li Yu also looked at him, his eyes full of interest, he had heard that his father had an illegitimate child outside, but he didn't expect that he looked like him, which made him very nervous when he talked to this person just now.

Shen Wenxuan waved his hand to let him choose at will, the smile on his face was more polite than before, like a mask, but his eyes flashed one after another, he couldn't believe that this person came to his shop by chance.

Li Yu didn't even look at it, pointed to the brocade box in his hand and said, "I want this."

Shen Wenxuan glanced at it and said, "I told you, this is not for sale."

Li Yu: "I don't want to buy either. You said, let me choose at will. Of course, this choice includes those for sale and those not for sale, that's all."

Find fault?

Shen Wenxuan suppressed his unhappiness and smiled, and pushed the brocade box at hand: "Please go ahead."

Li Yu took out the water table inside and took a closer look, before exclaiming, "Top grade, how much money do you have to sell this?"

Shen Wenxuan made a rough estimate: "5000 taels."

...a little heartbeat.

Li Yu rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and approached him like a fool: "Boss, I remember that your colored glaze shop is for recycling colored glazes, right? In this way, this prince is not the person that Duoren loves. I put this water Return it to you, can you fold it into a silver knot and give it to me?"

"...Guest officer, are you kidding me?" It was the first time Shen Wenxuan had seen this kind of operation, it was... so shameless.

Li Yu could also see what was going on in his heart, but if you are shameless, you should be shameless. What is face?Is it important to have money?

He had two older brothers under him before, and his own ability was not outstanding, and his mother and concubine's family was not strong, and he didn't have the childish attitude like his elder brother to make his father feel distressed. How much forgiveness.

And 5000 taels... is more than enough, almost catching up with his half-year salary.

"Boss," Li Yu stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, "How could I be joking? I am more serious, and I will wait for distinguished customers to come to your store to buy things from time to time, so you can change it, ang? "

Shen Wenxuan twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed, maybe he is not a fake seventh prince?A few days ago, he even thought of the suspicion of murdering the fourth prince on him, just... Is his IQ enough?Or did you deliberately act stupid in front of him?If it's the latter, then this drama can be performed.

Although he was reluctant, Shen Wenxuan finally asked the accountant to pay him 5000 taels of silver, watched him leave the shop, and disappeared slowly among the crowd.

Shen Wenxuan silently moved the water he had touched aside, and listed 6000 taels with his backhand. It is impossible to suffer a loss, and it is impossible for him to suffer a loss in his life.

After picking up the customers, the waiter pretended to clean up and walked to Shen Wenxuan, and passed the note in his hand under the cover of the feather duster in his hand: "Young master, it was handed over from the palace."

Shen Wenxuan nodded, turned his back and opened the note, which contained the content of the imperial decree——

Before taking a closer look, a servant from the family hurried in from outside and said anxiously: "Young master, go back quickly, the father-in-law from the palace has brought the imperial decree to the mansion, and wants, wants to announce the decree."

......what?

Shen Wenxuan frowned, put the note into his sleeve, and hurried back home, today is the Seventh Prince and the imperial decree, what exactly do you want to do?

When they arrived at the mansion, they saw that Jin Zhong, who was beside the emperor, came in person. Seeing that Shen Wenxuan was very affectionate, and the decree was not serious, he just handed the yellow silk to his hand and took his hand. Smiling and said:

"Earlier, I heard from the Queen Mother that the Patriarch of the Shen family is a person with a delicate heart, and that all the things sold in the shop are unique. Now, in the eyes of this slave, this is true. No wonder our emperor treats you Interested, no, in a few days on the Lantern Festival night, I will invite you to the palace for a small gathering, and have a few drinks with the Holy Majesty."

Shen Wenxuan pushed his hand away indiscriminately, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Caomin is just a commoner, and he can't be so kind to the emperor. I don't know why the emperor suddenly announces me?"

As he spoke, he moved his fingers lightly, and asked the servant to come over with a tray. With a flip of the red silk, there were three neat rows of gold bars, which made people blind.

Jinzhong's eyes flashed brightly: "This, this is so embarrassing."

Shen Wenxuan was wrapped up by someone and stuffed into Zhong's arms: "Father-in-law deserves it."

"This——" Jin Zhong secretly hugged the package in his arms tightly, praised him in his heart, and the smile on his face deepened, and said, "I will boldly remind you, I hope that when the young master sees the emperor Don't get too excited, after all, the young master's surname is Shen, isn't it, and the emperor Xuanzhao doesn't want the young master to have that kind of thought."

Shen Wenxuan understood, although Xuan, his illegitimate son, spent the Lantern Festival together, it was only for outsiders to see, the emperor had his own plans, which made him feel a little forced, don't admit his relatives as soon as he came up.

This emperor... wants to use him as a touchstone so soon, which is a bit interesting, but I don't know whether it is the second child or the seventh child who is going to test him.

Jin Zhong: "The little ones have already been brought, let's leave here, young master take care."

"Eunuch, go slowly." Shen Wenxuan bowed his hands and sent him out, watching him go away.

At the end of Shenshi, it was getting dark, Qin Mu and Chi Yi were resting in a house. This house was originally part of their itinerary, and they arrived at noon, but Qin Mu used the excuse of being too tired Have stayed until now.

At this time, everyone was driven out again under the pretext of having dinner, but when the guards came in to clean up the dishes after a while, they found that both father and son had disappeared.

Qin Mu tried his best to push the shutter on the top of the head, and helped Chi Yi climb out of the tunnel with his arms. After standing still, he helped Chi Yi climb up before taking a few breaths.

The place they were in was in the wilderness, Qin Mu looked around to identify the direction, and led Chi Yi to a place he was familiar with. He had to find Yunlong Mountain before the guards caught up, and the Xiangguo Temple was on Yunlong Mountain.

Huisheng sat cross-legged on the futon and counted the time. After the sun had completely set, he picked up the envelope on the table and opened it. Inside was a thick piece of letter paper, but when Huisheng opened it, the paper was blank. Not a single word.

He remembered what the general surnamed Chi said after entrusting the envelope to him when he returned to Beijing and passed by: "Master, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but this time is different. You have made a bad omen for me. Just write it once, if you hear the news of my death but haven't seen my family come here, then open it."
