Chapter 427: Misleading
The second prince looked at Xiaojia with a complex and shocked expression.
Damn!
Who the hell is this person?
How can he have such a train of thought.
Moreover, from what you said, you seem to be a little disappointed. What's going on?
"Do you think Shen Li likes you?"
Xiaojia pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer. If he nodded, it would be embarrassing. If he denied it, it would also be embarrassing.
The second prince looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and defended Xiaojia, "He has read too many storybooks, so he has a rich imagination in this regard."
The second prince was speechless.
To have such imagination, it's amazing!
"So, you went to the shadow cell, and they didn't interrogate you at all?"
Xiaojia sighed and nodded, no longer feeling the panic and nervousness when he just came in.
"Your Highness, please be wise. With my small body, if the Shadow interrogates me, I won't be able to come back.
There really was no interrogation. They didn't even say anything to me. They took me in and took me directly to a room."
Xiao Jia told the second prince what he had said to the shopkeeper yesterday. He polished it a lot the second time.
The shopkeeper felt more and more uneasy, his heart was pounding, and it was about to jump out.
After listening to him, the second prince was silent for a while and said, "Who are they interrogating? What are they interrogating?"
The shopkeeper held his breath.
He clenched his fists nervously.
I felt that all the blood in my body rushed to the top of my head.
I heard Xiao Jia say in my ear: "I don't know. I can only see them interrogating, but I can't hear the sound."
Xiao Jia didn't mention the Rongyang Marquis' Mansion!
The shopkeeper screamed in his heart, and he survived the disaster.
The feeling of suffocation disappeared immediately.
He exhaled and glanced at Xiao Jia from the corner of his eye.
Xiaojia didn't look at him, still waiting for the second prince to ask.
The second prince asked a few more questions, but the answers he got were beyond his original guesses, and finally waved his hand to let Xiaojia go out.
As soon as Xiaojia left, the second prince was silent for a while, and said to the shopkeeper: "Why do you think?"
The shopkeeper quickly adjusted his mentality and said in embarrassment: "After Xiaojia came back yesterday, I thought about it for half a night, and I really can't figure it out."
The second prince didn't say much.
Not to mention that the shopkeeper didn't understand, he didn't understand it now.
Originally, he thought it was Zhenpinxuan that provoked Shen Li, but now it seems that it's not the case at all.
Unable to get an answer in Zhenpinxuan, the second prince got up and left.
As soon as he left, the shopkeeper sat weakly on the chair with a cold sweat on his body, and called Xiaojia again after a long time.
Xiaojia was smart and knew what the shopkeeper meant by calling him. He said without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, "I promised you yesterday not to tell anyone about this. I will keep my mouth shut."
The shopkeeper didn't expect that Xiaojia didn't say this just now, and was stunned for a moment.
Xiaojia didn't have a lot of ideas. Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't say anything and that his face wasn't very good, he couldn't help but shudder with fear, "Shopkeeper, what did the Second Prince mean by coming here just now? Could it be that Commander Shen is treating me again..."
The shopkeeper was originally full of heavy hearts, and he didn't know how to look at Xiaojia after hearing this.
He took a deep breath and exhaled quietly, waving his hands weakly, "Don't worry, as long as Xiaoyi and Xiaobing are still in this store, you are safe!"
Xiaojia
left bitterly.
Zhenpinxuan opened for business, and the shopkeeper finally knew why the Second Prince got the news.
It was indeed spread outside.
Everyone knew that the people in Zhenpinxuan were caught by the shadow yesterday.
As for why, everyone was guessing, and various versions of rumors emerged one after another.
The shopkeeper's original firm decision yesterday was shaken again because of the sudden visit of the second prince.
Shadow.
Without getting an answer from Zhenpinxuan, the second prince simply went all out and went straight to Shadow to ask Shen Li face to face.
He felt that he was the one being bullied in this matter, and there was nothing he couldn't ask.
As the tea went down his throat, the second prince said bluntly: "Commander Shen should know that Zhenpinxuan is my property. Don't you need to give me an explanation for what happened yesterday?"
The second prince said words of accusing the king, but he didn't put on an attitude of accusing the king.
Shen Li sat at the bottom, holding the respect of a minister, "Your Highness, calm down. Yesterday's matter was a temporary matter. I didn't have time to greet the second prince. It's my fault."
The second prince raised his eyebrows lightly and waited for him to explain.
Shen Li said calmly, "Your Highness should know that my wife was assassinated outside the other day."
This incident happened suddenly and the alley was quiet. In addition, the people sent by the prince were all caught in one fell swoop. The Zhou family would not take the initiative to publicize this matter to prevent Zhou Qing from being rumored, so this matter was not spread to the outside world.
But it does not mean that the second prince does not know.
After Shen Li finished speaking, the second prince hummed.
Shen Li continued: "For this reason, I directly closed a lot of shops, and the second prince should also know."
The second prince nodded.
The prince wanted to kidnap Zhou Qing but failed, but Shen Li greatly frustrated the prince's party's financial path. In this matter, the prince was a typical case of shooting himself in the foot. How could the second prince not know it?
Not only did he know it, he also celebrated it in his own house after getting the news!
Shen Li smiled and said, "It's not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality. Maybe I investigated too harshly, which made the people on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dissatisfied. But for some reason, this dissatisfaction was not directed at me, but at Your Highness."
The Second Prince was surprised by this.
Shen Li took out a letter and handed it to the second prince.
As the second prince opened the letter in confusion and shook out the letter paper to look at it, Shen Li said: "An Ying received this report, saying that the treasure pavilion has hidden things from the Rongyang Marquis's mansion.
Your Highness should know that An Ying is currently ordered to investigate the old case of the Rongyang Marquis's mansion. Anything related to the Rongyang Marquis's mansion, An Ying dare not not ask."
The content of the letter was a report. After reading it, the second prince looked at Shen Li expressionlessly, "But you arrested my young man and did not interrogate him."
Shen Li smiled and said: "Your Highness, I can't afford the word you used. I didn't arrest him, I invited him. My wife personally invited him."
"Why? I remember that I don't have a deep friendship with you. I don't know what I have done to deserve the special treatment from the commander-in-chief. He invited my young man but didn't interrogate him. He only let him sit for one day and then let him go. How should I thank the commander-in-chief for his kindness?"
The second prince looked at Shen Li with a fake smile.
Shen Li's expression did not change. He just said calmly, "Your Highness and I naturally have no friendship, but I have an old friendship with Concubine Shu. Your Highness should consider it as me repaying Concubine Shu a favor.
What's more, I have already checked and there are no old items from the Rongyang Marquis's Mansion in the Treasure Pavilion.
I am just going through the motions."
The second prince did not understand what kind of old friendship his mother and Shen Li could have, but it was obviously inconvenient to ask Shen Li, so he said, "When did you check it?"
Shen Li said bluntly, "When the Duankang Earl's Mansion found out the old items from the Rongyang Marquis's Mansion, Shadow checked all the major treasure shops in Kyoto, including the Treasure Pavilion. It was a mission. Your Highness, please forgive me."
There is a monthly ticket activity now. My dears, please beg for a wave of monthly tickets.
