Chapter 97: It's like someone has given me a hint
The world is bustling with people all seeking profit, and the government is busy seeking fame.
It's just that the Fourth Prince is gone, and his position will be replaced in an instant. Xiao Chuhan, who was supposed to compete for the crown prince position, was forced out. I'm afraid that Prince Han's faction will not be willing to accept this, right?
After Li Yuening figured this out, she could understand Shen Kuo's ambition. It is better to stand well than to work well. Being a loyal minister is certainly pleasing to the emperor, but the emperor will grow old one day. If she can help in the matter of the crown prince, why would she be afraid of not having merits in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Yuening asked, "Which prince does Shen Kuo like?"
Ye Mei'er was stunned, "I don't know."
"Then let me put it another way. Which princes are the most popular candidates for the crown prince in Yecheng right now?"
Ye Mei'er thought for a moment, "It should be the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince. I heard that the fourth prince was quite prestigious in the court, and now all those who supported him have turned to support the eldest prince and the seventh prince."
Li Yuening, "There are so many people, why did Emperor Yao only confer the title on Xiao Chuhan and also grant him a fiefdom?"
When Xie Shi heard this, he instantly understood what Li Yuening wanted to do?
"Of course, King Han was the first to be eliminated in this competition." Ye Meir said.
Li Yuening and Xie Shi looked at each other, and Li Yuening said, "Stay here first, I'll come back to pick you up. Don't wander around, it's dangerous."
Ye Mei'er nodded.
Li Yuening pressed her sleeping point from a distance, and when she fell asleep, she and Xie Shi left the space, landed on the roof of the wing room, and concealed their breath.
Shen Kuo looked at the dead body in the room, but didn't see Ye Mei'er. He asked with a dark face, "What's going on?"
Someone came forward from behind and whispered something in Shen Kuo's ear. Shen Kuo's expression eased a little and he said in a deep voice, "It's dealt with. The person should not have gone far. Find him even if you have to dig three feet underground. Don't let him leave the Shen Mansion." He paused and said, "If... you don't know what's good for you, I won't keep you."
"How do we explain this to the Ye Mansion?"
Shen Kuo, "Why should I explain? Who saw her enter the Shen Mansion?"
Hearing this, the followers took the order and left.
Shen Kuo sighed, "Yin Yin, you've really been spoiled."
As he said this, he walked towards Shen Congyin's yard.
Xie Shi, "Do you still want to follow?"
Li Yuening shook her head. "No, I have a feeling that we will run into the Shen family again. There is no rush."
"Okay, let's go back."
"Well, let's go to the space first. There are a lot of things to do today, and I need to sort them out."
"Ah."
Xie Shi took Li Yuening off the roof. A leaf fell on the head of the searching guard. He looked up and saw darkness above him. He lowered his head and continued to look for someone.
At an empty street corner, Li Yuening's mind was dispersed. Since there was no one around, she and Xie Shi entered the space.
Xie Shi and Li Yuening washed up respectively, put on their quilts and sat at the table to review today's events.
Li Yuening first asked about Xie Shi's stay at Xue's residence, "Did anything unusual happen at Xue's residence today?"
Xie Shi poured her a cup of tea, and added another for himself, nodding, "Do you remember I told you that I found a beggar when I was a child?"
Li Yuening took a sip and said slowly, "Remember, you learned martial arts because of him." After that, she paused and said, "You... met him?"
"Well, coincidentally, he is Xue Liangcen's nephew."
"In other words, your martial arts were taught by Xue Liangcen? He knows martial arts?"
Xie Shi swallowed the tea in his mouth, and after the bitter taste turned to sweet, he said, "No, my martial arts were taught by Lu Chaoyang of Xifeng Mountain."
Li Yuening hummed, "What a coincidence? His last name is Lu, and he is also Xifengshan?"
"Yes, I also think it's too coincidental. One coincidence is an accident, but a series of coincidences together means that there is something of a conspiracy." Xie Shicai didn't believe it was such a coincidence.
"I went to see Xue Liangcen. From his behavior, it seemed like he knew I would come to him. He also revealed that the imperial edict for relocation would arrive soon. He told me with certainty that I was included in it and wanted me to work under him. I refused."
Li Yuening, "It's right to refuse. It's a good idea to stay away from people with ulterior motives."
Xie Shi, "But he told me an incomplete story about my mother."
"How do you know that the story is incomplete?" Li Yuening asked.
After Xie Shi told Xue Liangcen everything in full, he said, "This is half true and half false. I guess it's true that he knew my mother, and it's also true that he wanted to marry her.
But I don’t believe my mother would entrust me to him, because in my limited memory, there has never been a shadow of being taken care of by someone.”
"Maybe you're too young to remember?"
Xie Shi shook his head and said affirmatively: "Impossible, you may not believe it, but I still have the memory of being 3 years old.
If it is an important person or thing, I will definitely remember it.
If it is true that he found someone to teach me martial arts because my mother asked him to do so, then from what I know about him, he would have tried to win me over to work for him a long time ago, but he has never mentioned it in all these years. "
Li Yuening, "So, Xue Liangcen did say these words with a purpose.
Unfortunately, the Fengshan incident happened only a short time ago, and not everyone in the martial arts world knows about it.
How could a yamen clerk like him know so much about the underworld?
This is also strange. Do you think it is possible that someone instructed him to do this?"
Xie Shi, "It's not impossible, but what is the other party's purpose?"
Xie Shi thought of Xue Qihan's strangeness and said, "There is something particularly strange."
"what's up?"
Xie Shi described Xue Qihan's symptoms in detail. Not knowing how to describe them, he gestured and said, "One moment he was chatting with me normally, and the next moment he was like a possessed person. In short, he didn't look like a normal person."
Li Yuening listened to Xie Shi's description and felt that Xue Qihan seemed to have been hinted by someone. She would have to see him in person to be sure. "I'll go and see for myself if I have a chance.
I know a method that is to plant a certain idea or behavior into the other person's mind through thought.
As long as there is a key to open it, the person will execute it according to what has been planned, and the behavior is just as you said. "
Xie Shi was shocked. "There is such a technique? Is there any way to deal with it?"
Li Yuening did not correct Xie Shi's statement and said, "This is a kind of mental suggestion, which can also be called hypnosis. As long as your mental strength is strong enough, you will not be affected.
But when your spirit is under attack and is weak, this suggestion will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
A high-level hypnotist can give you hints at any time, for example, suggesting that the person you love most is actually your enemy.
You won't have any reaction at that time. When the environment is specific, they just need to open the door of suggestion with the key.
Then you will act according to the hypnotic suggestion, and you may even kill your loved one for the so-called revenge.
This kind of hypnosis is very strange. I guess your friend is being manipulated by this suggestion, like a puppet."
Xie Shi, "Is there any solution?"
