Zongwu: I am Ma Dayuan's disciple, Master's wife, you are so hot

"Dad, Mom, what should I do?"

Looking at the tombstone Wuqing felt extremely helpless.

After a while, she calmed down and thought carefully. She turned back and asked Shen Xin, "Uncle... Zhuge Zheng, Tie Shou and I are not the kind of people who kill innocent people. What happened back then?"

"At that time, including your father, there were a total of eight honest officials who were ready to jointly impeach Cai Jing for corruption to the emperor. However, someone leaked the information. Not only did they not hand over all the evidence to the emperor, they also tipped off Cai Jing. Overnight, a total of 183 people from seven families were all killed, and only one family escaped unscathed." Shen Xin said slowly.

"It was my father... who tipped off Cai Jing?" Wuqing was a little unbelievable. She didn't believe from the bottom of her heart that her father was such a person.

"I don't think so." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Why?" Wuqing urgently needed an explanation.

"If your father really surrendered to Cai Jing, do you think Cai Jing would protect him? No matter how you look at it, it seems like Cai Jing did it on purpose. He just wanted to keep your father and label him a traitor." Shen Xin replied.

"Is that so?" Wuqing hoped that this answer was true, but he didn't dare to hold too much hope.

"I believe your father, do you?"

"I also believe in my father. What's more, even if my father is really a traitor, he is still my father. And so is my mother and my brother..." Wuqing has already made up his mind.

No matter who her father is, as the daughter of the Sheng family, she has the responsibility to avenge her father.

What's more, her mother and her infant brother are innocent.

Of course, this does not mean that the truth is not important. Wuqing still wants to find out whether his father is a traitor!

"It's actually very simple to investigate this matter. Just go find Cai Jing directly." Shen Xin put his hand on Wuqing's shoulder and gave his own solution.

"Cai Jing, if we go looking for him, we will fall into An Yunshan's trap. Moreover, if you deal with Cai Jing..." Wuqing looked at Shen Xin worriedly.

"I am a man of the underworld. If I kill Cai Jing, even if I am wanted by the imperial court, it will not affect my survival in the underworld. Moreover, if I kill such a traitor recognized by the world, my reputation may even rise."

"As for An Yunshan, a grandmaster, I am also one now." Shen Xin spoke to dispel Wuqing's concerns.

And use practical actions to let her see your current strength.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Shen Xin acted as if he was willing to accompany Wuqing all the way to the end, which made Wuqing moved but also a little inferior.

"What do you think?" Shen Xin asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Wuqing's answer, he picked her up and kissed her sweet lips directly.

"Once this matter is settled, I will take you away from Bian Jing and then find medicine to cure your legs." After a long time, Shen Xin put Wuqing back on the wheelchair and said softly.

Wuqing looked down at his legs with a sense of inferiority.

"I really have a way to cure your leg. Don't think I'm comforting you." Shen Xin patted Wuqing's shoulder and said.

"I believe you!" Wuqing looked up at Shen Xin. She put aside her worries and doubts and only had 100% trust in Shen Xin.

……

"Why did you ask me to come here?"

In a forest in the suburbs, Tie Shou rushed over after receiving the message from Sikong Zhaixing.

Looking at Shen Xin standing alone in the forest, Tie Shou was a little confused: "Where is Wuqing?"

"She doesn't want to come out to see you, so she asked me to come out and ask you a few questions." Shen Xin's expression was serious, and he looked directly at Tie Shou.

This made Tie Shou feel a little guilty, but he still held on to some hope: "If you have any questions, just ask."

"Kong Balang, is that you?" Shen Xin asked directly without beating around the bush.

Tie Shou's expression changed again and again, first he was shocked, then he was stunned, and then guilt rose in his heart, and finally, Tie Shou felt a sense of relief.

"Yes, I am Kong Balang, one of the twelve culprits back then."

"How did you know this news?" Tie Shou asked.

"Recently, there have been several murders in the capital. These cases are all being investigated by the Six Gates. You don't know about them yet, but you should be very clear about their identities."

"Zhang Xu'ao, the scholar with an iron umbrella, goes by the alias Hu Xingyong; Dugu Wei, the soul-killing sword, goes by the alias Guo Xiangtian; and Sun Bugong, the earth walker, goes by the alias Yang Cheng." Shen Xin said.

.....0 0

Tie Shou smiled sadly: "Since you have investigated to this extent, to be honest, these people have hidden their names, and I don't know their current identities."

"The reason you went to destroy the Sheng family was because Sheng Dingtian tipped off Cai Jing. Do you have any evidence for this?" Shen Xin continued to ask.

Tie Shou's expression suddenly changed. He had killed so many people from the Sheng family, but the reason why he could still pretend in front of Wuqing all these years was because although the extermination of the entire Sheng family was inappropriate, it was also in the interests of justice.

If...if, Tie Shou didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"It seems that you hastily wiped out the entire Sheng family, but you have no direct evidence to prove that the Sheng family betrayed others." Shen Xin has already come to his own conclusion from Tie Shou's performance.

"If it wasn't the Sheng family, who else could it be? If it wasn't the Sheng family, why would Cai Jing let them go alone?" Tie Shou asked excitedly.

"This is the cruelty of Cai Jing. He wiped out seven families but only left one!"

"This is just your guess." Tie Shou retorted loudly.

"If it was really Sheng Dingtian, do you think Cai Jing would let you destroy his clan? Compared to Sheng Dingtian informing Cai Jing, I think it was Cai Jing himself who noticed something. The matter was done in secrecy, and there were too many people involved, so it's normal for the news to leak out."

"Besides, do you think the current emperor is a saint? Maybe the secret was not leaked from the beginning, Sheng Dingtian and others succeeded in impeaching Cai Jing, but the emperor did not punish Cai Jing, and then Cai Jing knew that he was impeached." Shen Xin said all kinds of possibilities.

Chapter 141 Ruthlessly Withdrawing from the Divine Marquis Mansion

"No, that's impossible!"

Tie Shou shook his head in denial. He could not accept such a possibility. He already regretted killing the entire Sheng family. After all, except for Sheng Dingtian, everyone else was innocent.

Even the righteousness of killing Sheng Dingtian is gone...

Tie Shou didn't dare to think about it any further. Suddenly, Tie Shou was startled and he caught the loophole in Shen Xin's words.

No, it couldn't be the emperor. After all, it was the emperor who gave the order for them to kill Sheng Dingtian's entire family.

If the emperor accidentally leaked the secret, and he knew that Sheng Dingtian was innocent, how could he let them kill Sheng Dingtian's entire family? He... he was not that stupid!

No, that's not right. Tieshou thought of another thing. When Zhuge Zhengwo came to stop it, it was also under the emperor's order.

Also, even if the emperor hadn't leaked it, what Shen Xin said before about keeping it secret made sense.

"140" seems to be that they might have wronged Sheng Dingtian at the beginning.

"How is it possible?" Tie Shou knelt on the ground with his head in his hands. He was in a trance and babbled nonsense. After a while, he suddenly looked up at Shen Xin and shouted, "Where is Wuqing? Let her come out. I am one of the twelve culprits. Let her kill me and avenge her family."

"Wuqing won't come out to see you." Shen Xin shook his head.

The companionship of more than ten years is not fake. Wuqing cannot make up her mind to kill Tieshou, and Shen Xin does not want her to act on impulse and regret it in the future.

So it was him, not Wuqing, who met Tieshou today.

"Is it... because of my companionship over the years?" Tie Shou had obviously guessed this and smiled bitterly. Perhaps his decision to follow Zhuge Zhengwo and stay to take care of Wuqing was a wrong decision.

He is clearly my enemy, so why should I be so soft-hearted?

No, it’s not that he is soft-hearted. Tieshou chose to take care of Wuqing, more out of atonement.

"Your life is ruthless. Perhaps one day in the future, Wuqing will make up her mind. Whether it is to seek revenge on you or to settle the grudge, we have to wait until she makes up her mind." Looking at the collapsed Tie Shou, Shen Xin said dimly.

"I know!" Tie Shou was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded.

After the matter was leaked, especially after knowing that Sheng Dingtian was most likely innocent, he had thoughts of committing suicide. That's why he asked Shen Xin where Wuqing was just now.

But Shen Xin's words reminded him that he could not die.

At least you can't die before you make up your mind ruthlessly!

Otherwise, Wuqing will have more psychological burden.

Shen Xin nodded, chatted with Tie Shou for a few more words, then let him go back and asked him to call Zhuge Zhengwo over.

The main reason for calling in Tie Shou was to make sure that the twelve culprits were indeed not dead, and the reason for calling in Zhuge Zhengwo was to put an end to it.

After Tie Shou left, it was almost an hour later that Zhuge Zhengwo arrived.

His expression was complicated. Even though the person in front of him was Shen Xin instead of Wuqing, he didn't know how to face it.

When Zhuge Zhengwo appeared, Shen Xin took out the waist badge of Wuqing Shenhou Mansion from his arms and threw it directly to him: "From today on, Wuqing will withdraw from Shenhou Mansion."

"I can understand." Zhuge Zhengwo took the badge and said nothing to retain him. He already knew what had happened from Tieshou, so it was useless to say anything.

He looked at the badge in his hand with complicated eyes, and was silent for a moment before putting it away. He then asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"This is our business." Shen Xin replied.

"Don't do anything rash. Bianjing is not as simple as you think." Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but remind me.

"I know," Shen Xin nodded, and then changed the subject: "Wuqing has a few questions for me to ask you."

"go ahead."

"There is no conclusive evidence that Sheng Dingtian betrayed others and defected to Cai Jing. Do you notice anything wrong?" Shen Xin asked.

"I have had some guesses." Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head dejectedly and sighed.

"Was there any investigation afterwards?" Shen Xin continued to ask.

Zhuge Zhengwo still shook his head: "No!"

"why?"

Zhuge Zhengwo was speechless and looked a little surprised. Yes, he clearly noticed that something was wrong, so why didn't he investigate?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Zheng knew the reason.

Because the order to exterminate the entire Sheng family was issued by the Emperor, and the leader was the Eighth Prince.

He instinctively chose to avoid it and didn't want to check!

They were afraid that if this matter were to be discovered, it would damage the reputation of the Emperor and the Eighth Prince.

Yes, the leader of the twelve culprits is the Eighth Prince who is quite famous in the current dynasty.

Shen Xin had previously told Wuqing about the twelve culprits, but he only mentioned eleven of them. There was one more person he didn't mention.

Now, it's time to go out.

"Because the one who took the lead was the Eighth Prince, and the one who issued the order was the Emperor, right?"

"How do you know? Do you still want to attack the Eighth Prince and the Emperor? Shen Xin, don't be impulsive. You don't want to take Wuqing to a point of no return, do you?"
