LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 52 Trap
After receiving Shen Yuan's order, You Ruo rushed to Pei's house without stopping and informed Pei Jianghai of the matter.
However, to Pei Jianghai's expectation, Pei Jianghai just said lightly that he understood, and then let her leave.
From the look on Pei Jianghai's face, it was obvious that he really planned to rush to Shen's house in person.
What methods did the master use?
Although he was confused, Youruo would not ask about these things in detail. Anyway, his mission was to complete what his master told him.
Moreover, Youruo was very disgusted with Pei Jianghai, but because he was an indispensable part of his master's plan, Youruo forced himself to hold back the disgust and resentment in his heart.
Last time, she almost died in Pei Jianghai's hands. How could she just forget about it?
Women are very vengeful creatures. Youruo is no exception.
Soon, Pei Jianghai rushed to Shen's house and met Shen Yuan.
After the two exchanged casual greetings, Shen Yuan took Pei Jianghai into the dungeon.
In the dungeon, Yun Shuya was tied to death with shackles.
But there didn't seem to be any danger to his life.
Seeing this, Pei Jianghai's eyes flashed with a trace of unbearability.
"You'd better treat her injury."
"Whether I can cure her injury or not depends on Mr. Pei's cooperation."
"I already know about this. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After seeing Pei Jianghai leave, Youruo seemed even more confused. Pei Jianghai came all the way to Shen's house just to meet his master Yun Shuya?
Does Yun Shuya have any secrets?
Isn't that the culprit who let Qin Yang go?
The more You Ruo thought about it, the less he understood it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, those things were not something he should consider.
All I have to do is complete every instruction given by the head of the family perfectly!
……
An hour later, the imperial city.
Gu Li and Lin Yiping knelt respectfully behind the empress and reported to her one by one.
"Pei Jianghai went to see Shen Yuan again, Your Majesty."
"Why did they meet?"
"According to the secret we buried in the Pei family, Shen Yuan seems to be planning to use Yun Shuya to kill Qin Yang. Pei Jianghai also wants revenge, so he got closer to Shen Yuan."
"This is the matter..."
The empress' expression softened somewhat. Pei Jianghai and Shen Yuan were so close. That was not what she wanted to see. Fortunately, they were only doing Qin Yang's business.
"Your Majesty, actually you don't have to worry about Commander Pei. Shen Yuan's ambition is obvious, but Commander Pei is the President of the Guards. Even if Shen Yuan intends to win over, he can't offer enough leverage to make Commander Pei's heart beat."
It's true that Pei Jianghai lacks everything now. He wants money, power, and even an army. He's so smart that he wants to accompany Shen Yuan in the rebellion? Do you want to kill the nine tribes?
The empress nodded slightly and agreed with Gu Li's words. Pei Jianghai was not a fool and would not take risks.
"One more thing. The sixth elder of the Shen family was executed by Shen Yuan."
The empress frowned slightly, "Why?"
"Shen Yuan claimed to the outside world that he was embezzling the property of the Mo clan, so he was executed."
Greedy property? The empress looked fierce, could it really be that simple? Or is that guy already exposed?
If he was exposed in public, wouldn't Shen Yuan also know my thoughts at this moment?
This is equivalent to both sides showing their cards.
I know you planted a secret, but I got rid of this secret. I also know that because of this secret, my plan was known to you.
I know better that you are going to attack me.
The empress said slowly: "As expected of Shen Yuan, he can uncover this secret that I have buried so hard."
"We must take action quickly..."
Now, it is urgent to get rid of Shen Yuan!
"How is the trap set up in Jiahe Palace?"
"All traps have been set. If Shen Yuan enters the palace, he will definitely die!"
"Very good, you two should step aside and Xuan Pei Jianghai come to see me."
Not long after, Pei Jianghai arrived.
"Wei Chen meets His Majesty."
"Retire without courtesy."
"I wonder why your Majesty summoned the minister?"
"On the fifteenth day, you deployed the imperial guards to surround Jiahe Palace. After hearing my order, they rushed forward and killed Shen Yuan."
Pei Jianghai knelt down and said, "I obey your order!"
"In the past few days, I feel sorry for you, my beloved, and I have taken a break here."
Pei Jianghai nodded.
"All ministers are subject to your Majesty's decision."
The empress nodded and left Pei Jianghai in the palace temporarily. Naturally, she did not want him to report the news to Shen Yuan.
Although there is currently no evidence that Shen Yuan and Pei Jianghai are in a party, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
Killing Shen Yuan was of great importance, and it was not suitable for the empress to make any mistakes.
Of course, even if Pei Jianghai is allowed to stay in the palace temporarily, the empress will send someone to keep an eye on him secretly. Once it is discovered that he has the intention to send a message, the empress will not mind if the leader of the imperial guard is replaced by someone else.
But on the surface, the empress still held Pei Jianghai's hand with a cheerful smile.
"My beloved, I have been busy with state affairs these days and have never had the opportunity to have a long talk with my beloved. Today I have this opportunity."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Seeing this look, those who didn't know it thought she was such a considerate monarch to her subjects.
Wei Qi was also very happy at this time. He had guessed what the empress was thinking. The fifteenth day was the day when the empress would take action. On that day, Shen Yuan would die!
And once Shen Yuan died, was there anyone in the court who could be his enemy?
Those Shen Party members are leaderless and are nothing more than a ragtag group of people.
The smile on Wei Qi's face could no longer be concealed. Already looking forward to that day.
Shen family.
The Inspectorate has been successfully established. As for Youruo, he has been following Shen Yuan as usual, squeezing his shoulders and making tea for him.
Youruo said that she is now the Hanyue envoy of the Inspectorate, and does she need to handle some affairs of the Inspectorate.
Shen Yuan just said.
"You only need to take up a vacant position. Shen Jian and Shen Dao will handle the affairs of the Inspectorate."
"Does that mean I just become one of the three envoys without doing anything?"
Shen Yuan took a sip of tea.
"That's pretty much what it means."
The tea has a rich aroma, and as expected, you still need a quiet tea to suit your taste.
"Master, you are so kind to me!"
You Ruo was so happy that she became one of the three envoys without having to do anything. What an honor it was.
But to Shen Yuan, this is nothing, everything is just a matter of his words.
"Be careful lately," Shen Yuan reminded, "Qiu Bai told me that the Demon Suppression Department found out that a group of demons had sneaked into Northern Qi, and they are conducting a thorough investigation."
"In Northern Qi, I don't need to say more about what will happen if a demon is found out, right?"
Northern Qi and the demon are at odds with each other!
Moreover, not only Northern Qi, but also all human countries have no place for those monsters from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
In Northern Qi, once a demon is exposed, death is the most merciful punishment.
"Thank you Master for reminding me, I will pay attention to it."
"I remember, you are a bat demon, right?"
"Well, yes, I didn't expect the master to still remember this. However, our Night Bat clan is not a big monster in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, we are just unknown people. I am afraid that the master wants to use my identity to plan some plans. It’s going to fail.”
After more than ten years of companionship, Youruo has already known Shen Yuan's character well.
"Is that so... In other words, you, the Night Bat Clan, are incapable of fighting against the top monsters in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom?"
"Absolutely. After all, for the entire demon race, race accounts for a large part of the strength. It is difficult for demons of inferior races to defeat demons of higher races."
"For example, if they are both supreme, but if one of them is from the nine-tailed spirit fox clan and the other is from the night bat clan, then the self-esteem of the night bat clan may not be able to survive in front of the supreme of the nine-tailed spirit fox clan. Ten moves."
Shen Yuan nodded. He didn't expect that the demon clan's combat power was so greatly affected by race.
