Chapter 212 Holding
Staring at Zhou Qing, King Ning gritted his teeth, "How dare you threaten me?"
Before Zhou Qing could speak, Shen Li sneered, "Threat? If you say it's a threat, then it's 500,000 taels of silver, in cash."
"You" King Ning's sullen face was even more stormy.
Shen Li said calmly, "Your son robbed my fiancée from Xuanfu to Kyoto. You just want to take out 500,000 taels of silver, but my fiancée was frightened!"
Zhou Qing
Why does this sound so awkward?
Shen Li paused after speaking, and then said, "The Zhenshuo Army is suspected of reselling military supplies, and the Prince of Ning's Mansion appeared in Pingzhou without being summoned out of the capital, and soon after, he kidnapped the fiancée of the Shadow Commander who was investigating the case."
The voice dragged out, and Shen Li smiled and said, "Your Highness King Ning, what do you think will be the result of this series of combinations?"
Zhou Qing
Damn!
If you want to talk about threats, this is a hardcore threat!
King Ning's face turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The muscles on his cheekbones jumped again and again, he gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Li, and finally clenched his fists tightly, "Are you not afraid that you can't take away 500,000 taels of silver?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are many talents in the Shadow."
Prince Ning was speechless after being blocked by Shen Li, and turned around and ordered, "Go prepare."
The entourage beside him received the order and immediately executed it.
The 500,000 taels of silver were packed into boxes and soon neatly arranged in the courtyard.
Glancing at the boxes outside, Shen Li said softly to Zhou Qing: "Okay, you can let him go."
Zhou Qing glanced at Prince Ning and whispered in a way that Prince Ning could hear every word: "What if I let him go and he regrets and wants to kill us?"
"Don't worry, he won't."
Shen Li's words clearly said that he wouldn't, but Zhou Qing felt that his implication was: I dare not!
Shen Li said to let him go, and Zhou Qing let him go.
The rope in her hand loosened, and Princess Ning's body softened and fell down.
Prince Ning stepped forward and hugged her.
Zhou Qing and Shen Li turned and left. Prince Ning looked at Zhou Qing's back, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke.
"Did the prince really tell you what you said before?"
Zhou Qing didn't even turn his head, "Guess!"
Prince Ning
If the prince really told Zhou Qing, then the prince knew the truth about Shen Mingyue's death.
This.
How will they meet in the future?
The uneasiness and anger in his heart turned into a hideous sneer on his face, "You just look like Shen Mingyue. You can become Shen Li's fiancée because of this. It was Shen Mingyue who made you happy."
Shen Li paused and looked back at Prince Ning.
There was murderous intent in his sharp eyes.
Prince Ning looked back provocatively.
How can I not plant a thorn in your midst after such a mess!
Zhou Qing pulled Shen Li, smiled and said to King Ning: "Then I thank Shen Mingyue. When we get married, Your Highness, remember to come and give gifts for Shen Mingyue."
After that, he dragged Shen Li away.
Shen Li looked at King Ning intently and followed Zhou Qing away.
As soon as he left the palace, Zhou Qing immediately tilted his body and fell towards Shen Li, "No, I'm scared, my legs are weak and I can't walk, I need a hug."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and then his frozen face suddenly became gentle as water.
He looked at Zhou Qing lovingly, his voice slightly hoarse, "Think it through, this is Kyoto, everyone recognizes me, I hugged you in public, you must marry me."
Zhou Qing rolled her eyes, "Feudal superstition, who said that I must marry you if you hugged me in public?"
Shen Li gritted his teeth and lifted Zhou Qing up into the air, "Do you still want to marry someone else?"
Zhou Qing hooked Shen Li's neck and swung his calves, "Then who made me Shen Mingyue's stand-in?"
Shen Li's arms around Zhou Qing froze, he looked at Zhou Qing seriously, "You are not anyone's stand-in, you are you."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Can I believe you?"
Shen Li was sure, "Of course, I can swear to heaven."
Zhou Qing shook his head, "That's not necessary, after all, heaven can't hear you swear, tell me about Shen Mingyue."
This dead person is the one she will face in the end.
Who made them look so alike.
It's better to listen to Shen Li than to listen to others.
"You want to hear it now?"
"Yes."
"Shen Mingyue is the daughter of the Dali Temple, and she and the Prince of Ning's mansion are childhood sweethearts.
When the two families were engaged, Prince Ning was strongly opposed, but he had no choice but to accept the Prince's insistence.
Unfortunately, not long after the engagement, the Prince was stabbed in the street. In order to save the Prince, Shen Mingyue sacrificed herself to block the knife, but she failed to save him.
Her death became a hurdle that the Prince could never get over."
Zhou Qing
Oh my god!
Your storytelling skills are really top-notch!
Are you telling a story or an outline?
"Who was the person who assassinated the Prince of Ning's Mansion?"
"The case was not handled by Shadow. It was directly investigated by Jingzhao Yin and the Ministry of Justice and handed over to the Dali Temple. I heard that he was a die-hard fan of King Hui."
"King Hui?"
"Another royal prince, who is not in Kyoto now."
Zhou Qing didn't know too much about the relationship between these people. He hooked his arm around Shen Li's neck and said with a smile: "I know some inside information about this case. Do you want to know, Commander Shen?"
Shen Li smiled and said: "What?"
Zhou Qing said: "I risked my life to get this information. It's very expensive."
If she hadn't been holding Zhou Qing, Shen Li would have wanted to pinch her face.
"The five hundred thousand taels are all yours, is that enough?"
Zhou Qing immediately said: "In the assassination that year, King Ning himself might have been the mastermind behind it. It's hard to say what his original purpose was, but something went wrong with the plan, which led to that scene."
Shen Li frowned, "How do you know?"
Zhou Qing raised his chin, "I got it from King Ning."
Shen Li
looked at Zhou Qing with deep eyes, and tightened his arms around Zhou Qing.
She was a weak woman, who was suddenly robbed and taken all the way from Xuanfu to Kyoto.
I don't know what kind of fear and terror she had to go through along the way.
When Shen Li thought of Zhou Qing's panic and that he couldn't rescue her in time, his heart felt like a needle piercing his heart.
Even though he was holding her in his arms at this moment, the pain in his heart was still strong.
"This time, I've wronged you, I promise, this is the only time."
Zhou Qing put his hands on Shen Li's face.
Shen Li's cheek moved slightly, and he rubbed it against her palm. He looked haggard after not sleeping for several days, and his beard was untidy, which was very prickly when rubbed against her palm.
His eyes were full of bloodshot, and there was even a small blister at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Qing reached out and poked the small blister, "Why are you so anxious?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It should be."
Shen Li
"Where are you carrying me to?"
"To my home."
Zhou Qing suddenly jumped out of Shen Li's arms. She was so emotional even when she was shot by King Ning.
"Your home? I go to your home? No, no, no."
