Chapter 336 Wang Xiangrong assassinates Shen Lanxi!
Arrows stained with tung oil, and torches stained with tung oil, fell like a meteor shower to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
"Come on, come on, kill Shen Lanxi!" shouted, and then the man in black jumped into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion like dumplings.
"Where are the people?"
"How come no one ran out?"
"No, I've been fooled. Get out quickly..."
Shen Lanxi appeared from the darkness with the Royal Forest Army.
"His Majesty is so good at predicting events that he sent the Royal Forest Army to protect me early!" Shen Lanxi shouted loudly.
Three hundred imperial guardsmen, with their bowstrings fully drawn, surrounded the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
The commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army personally shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who reveal the mastermind will have their sentences halved. The first person to stand up and surrender will be given a lighter sentence!"
Some of the killers who were surrounded in the house were unwilling to give up and wanted to escape.
As soon as he jumped into the air, he was shot into a hedgehog.
"I surrender!"
"I am willing to tell the person behind the scenes..."
Wang Xiangrong's name was easily revealed by the killers.
The Royal Forest Army rushed into the princess's mansion overnight and took Wang Xiangrong into a prison.
Shen Lanxi: "Pay close attention to everyone who comes out of the Princess Mansion. Who they meet and what they say must be recorded one by one. Remember not to alert the enemy!"
"Yes!"
……
The news that an assassin had entered the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was known to some people with long hands, ears, and mouths before dawn.
Before going to court, ministers gathered together in twos and threes to exchange information.
By the time they entered the main hall, they most likely knew what happened in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion last night.
It was a matter of royal secrets. Even though Emperor Renxiao's face was as black as iron, he did not shout about it in the main hall.
But with the help of the queen, Zhou Qiwu, mother and daughter, and Zhou Ruan were summoned into the palace!
"This is the testimony sent by Dali Temple, you all should take a look!"
Emperor Renxiao had a dark face and his gloomy eyes turned on Zhou Ruan and Zhou Qiwu.
Unexpectedly, the two people who seemed to have no intersection turned out to be very close. Are you going to congratulate Zhou Qiwu on his birthday?
Emperor Renxiao thought of that time, which happened to be the time for Zhou Ruan to go to the north to provide disaster relief. Thinking of this, he had a splitting headache.
Wang Bao quickly brought the ginseng tea.
Emperor Renxiao took two sips of ginseng tea, and his mouth was full of bitterness, which made him even more angry.
Something bothers him every now and then, and nothing goes his way. Even holding a thousand-year-old ginseng and chewing it raw is of no use!
Thinking about it this way, Lan Xi still had the intention.
I know how to give him ginseng, give him extraordinary treasures, and try my best to give him good things.
On the contrary, these things either make him angry or piss him off every day. These sons of his wish they could piss him off to death early so that they could ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor!
After Wang Bao delivered the ginseng tea, he thoughtfully placed a glass bead on Emperor Renxiao's hand.
Emperor Renxiao touched the beads and sighed again.
What's the use of these shits? Even if these people are half as filial as Lan Xi, they won't be able to suppress his anger even with thousand-year-old ginseng.
Zhou Ruan's face turned pale, and he naturally did not dare to read the testimony.
Zhou Qiwu also took one look and was frightened.
How did your majesty know that Zhou Ruan went to Jinmen? It must be Shen Lanxi. She really regretted not getting rid of this eyesore earlier.
"Brother Emperor, my son was unintentional. Please give me a gentle punishment." Zhou Qiwu knew that no explanation would be of any use, so he could only show weakness and beg. Emperor Renxiao's eyes were as cold as ice: "Wang Xiangrong has admitted to paying to kill, and according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, he will be executed. Shen Lanxi is still an official of the imperial court. He is guilty of paying to kill an official of the imperial court and has an extra level of crime. He wants to destroy the three clans!"
< br>
Zhou Qiwu's face turned pale and he fell to the ground in fright.
"Brother Imperial, Xianrong is just a child. Please forgive me for the fact that I have traveled thousands of miles to the capital. I promise that I will never let Xianrong step out of the house again. I only ask for mercy from Brother Imperial." Let’s live together!”
No matter how Zhou Qiwu cried, Emperor Renxiao remained unmoved.
"There was so much noise last night, and now the whole capital knows about it. You asked me to pardon a person who dared to attack an official of the imperial court, how could you block the mouth of the world!" Ren Xiao kept coughing angrily.
Wang Bao hurriedly made another cup of ginseng tea and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"
Zhou Ruan came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Father, the reason why I settled in Jinmen that year was because I thought the refugees in the north were in chaos, so I chose to take a boat to go around. I definitely didn't conceal my itinerary on purpose. It was actually the refugees who were in chaos at that time. Erchen remembers that because of the chaos caused by the refugees, many of the exiles had to stay away from the established routes and switched to water routes. Erchen wanted to ask the Shen family to testify on behalf of Erchen!”
Didn't Shen Lanxi trick him? Didn't you shake him out?
Then he would also push the Shen family out to see how the Shen family would explain to their father!
Who would have thought that Emperor Renxiao would raise the tea cup and hit Zhou Ruan on the head.
"You bastard, Lan Xi has told me about this a long time ago."

Zhou Ruan's eyes were full of shock, he didn't believe it.
His father is suspicious, isn't Shen Lanxi afraid of his father's punishment?
"Father, even if Shen Lanxi told you, she didn't tell you right after she returned to Beijing. She must have only told you in the past few days. She just wanted to make up for it and asked us to take advantage of it."
Emperor Renxiao was furious.
"Lan Xi told me as early as when she returned to Beijing."
Zhou Ruan fell to the ground in shock. Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Isn't Shen Lanxi afraid of death or the entire Shen family being slaughtered?
Emperor Renxiao strengthened his belief that Lan Xi really regarded him as his uncle and a relative. She grew up in the palace, and her father didn't care about her.
Lan Xi respected and loved him as a father.
On the contrary, his sons, royal sisters, and others are all plotting against him!
"Zhou Ru'an, starting from today, you will step down from all your duties and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the house!"
The color on Zhou Ruan's face quickly faded. Did his father want to imprison him?
"Zhou Qiwu has no way to teach his son. From today on, he is not allowed to step out of the house without my permission."
Zhou Qiwu panicked.
"Your Majesty, brother, Xiangrong is your nephew..."
"Isn't his life no better than Shen Lanxi's?"
"Brother Emperor, I married into the wilderness for the great Zhou Dynasty. My sister has worked hard these years without any merit. I beg you, Brother Emperor, to spare my son Xiangrung's life!"
"He is Wang Mingru's only son and the heir to Qinglan Academy. His brother-in-law is the Liu family who is in charge of the maritime navy. If anything happens to my son, Jinmen will definitely be separated from Zhou. Please think again, brother!"
< br>
Emperor Renxiao hesitated.
Not because of Qinglan Academy, but because of the Maritime Navy.
"Go back and let me think about it carefully!"
Seeing that Emperor Renxiao was shaken, Zhou Qiwu immediately cried and was helped up by his daughter.
"Brother Imperial, there must be a misunderstanding. My son must have been instigated by others, so he lost his mind!"
Emperor Renxiao waved his hand with a cold face and asked them to go down.
"Wang Bao, has the person who sent someone to check the door come back?"
