Chapter 306 Falling into the trap
After Wang Yu left, Ji Wen came out from the back of the hall and said angrily: "The Right Prime Minister let bygones be bygones and spoke kindly to him, but he is so ungrateful!"

Li Linfu looked worried and said, "People are always easily carried away by success."

When Ji Wen heard Li Linfu's sigh, he felt that Li Linfu was really old, and said, "Why should the Right Prime Minister worry? Haven't you always hoped that Wang Yu would fall?"

Li Linfu said: "The fall under my leadership and the fall under the leadership of others are two different things. I am increasingly confused about the current situation."

Ji Wen asked: "So what should we do now?"

Li Linfu said: "Prepare for the celebration."

"Uh..." Ji Wen was startled, then he understood something and bowed and said, "Yes."

……

Wang Yu returned to the mansion angrily. Seeing Wang Yuankang who had just returned from the apricot garden, he went up and kicked Wang Yuankang, cursing: "You useless guy, what else can you do besides causing trouble?"

Wang Yuankang was puzzled, and Wang Han quickly stepped forward to help his nephew up, saying, "Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Wang Yu did not answer, but instead asked, "Where is Liu Niang? Find Liu Niang!"

I did not dare to delay and hurried to summon Wang Liuniang.

Not long after, Wang Liuniang came to the hall and said, "Grandpa..."

"Cancel the marriage with Cai! Immediately!" Wang Bo said angrily.

"Why is that? My daughter finally found a husband of her dreams." Wang Liuniang was used to being spoiled, so she immediately retorted, "Didn't Grandpa say that as long as my daughter likes it, I will listen to her?"

Wang Yu glared at Wang Liuniang and said, "My ideal husband? He killed an entire family just to give you a night-shining pearl, and now the court has asked me to take charge of this matter."

Wang Han, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this. He motioned for Wang Liuniang to leave first and said, "Brother, we need to think about this matter carefully."

"At this point, can't you tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?" Wang Yu said angrily.

Wang Han said: "The Cai family is our hidden hand. If we ignore them, I'm afraid they will bite us out."

Wang Yu said, "That's yours! It's not ours! Brother, how many stupid things have you done over the years?"

Wang Han said: "I am also doing this for the Wang family. If I hadn't done these shady things over the years, how could we be safe and sound?"

Wang Yu sighed heavily and told Wang Han everything.

Wang Han listened and thought, "Brother, I have an idea."

"What idea?" Wang Yu asked.

Wang Han said: "I know the inside story of the Shen family's extermination. Except for Shen Yao who escaped, the rest was handled cleanly. As long as we kill Shen Yao, I think we won't be able to find out anything."

Wang Yu said, "Shen Yao is in Honghualou in Pingkangfang, and the Right Prime Minister also lives in Pingkangfang. Do you want to go to Pingkangfang to kill someone?"

"We don't need to go." Wang Han showed a meaningful smile, "Let Cai go. If Cai can kill them, then so be it. If not, then just kill them."

Wang Yu hesitated, thought for a long time, nodded, and said, "Okay."

……

Li Ying's Mansion.

Zhang Guangsheng hurried into the room and reported: "Your Highness, Wang Yu did not arrest anyone, but went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Father's order has been issued, but he didn't arrest him immediately. Once a person develops a habit of being domineering, it will be difficult to change it." Li Heng pondered and asked, "What about Yang Zhao?"

Zhang Guangsheng said: "Yang Zhao went to the Jingzhao government office, and then went to the Taoist temple of Li Tengkong, the daughter of the right prime minister, and then returned home."

Li Heng sighed and said, "Everyone is busy with their own affairs. No one really cares about justice for the entire Shen family. Since they don't care, I will take care of it and call Shi Shouyi."

"Yes." Zhang Guangsheng took the order and went out, and soon brought Shi Shouyi back.

Li Ying said to Shi Shouyi, "Take ten brothers with you and live in Honghua Tower for a few days in plain clothes." Shi Shouyi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, my wife is very strict. If..."

"Official business." Li Ying interrupted.

Hearing that it was official business, Shi Shouyi became serious and said, "Yes."

Li Ying said, "Go find Miss Hongyue and tell her that you want to protect Shen Yao. You can arrange the details yourself."

"I obey your command." Shi Shouyi obeyed the order and left.

Li Heng then said to Zhang Guangsheng, "Wei Boyu is serving in the Jinwu Guard. Go and tell him to patrol the streets near Pingkangfang more often. I have treated him well in the past. If you ask him to act within his authority, he will not refuse."

"Yes." Zhang Guangsheng accepted the order.

……

At night, the moon and stars are sparse.

There was a curfew in Chang'an, but Pingkangfang was still bustling with people who had planned to stay overnight in the brothels drinking and singing.

Seven or eight men in black came out of the night, sneaked into Honghua Building, went around to the second floor, rushed into a room, and hacked at the person on the bed.

The leader chopped a few times and felt something was wrong, so he asked the others to stop. Then he opened the quilt and found that there was no person under the quilt.

"We've fallen into a trap, let's run!" The leader reacted and turned around to run.

But a man blocked the door.

This person is Shi Shouyi.

Shi Shouyi said: "Wearing black clothes and a mask, breaking into a house and killing people, where else do you want to go?"

The leader in black did not reply, but called on the other men in black to rush forward.

Shi Shouyi was not afraid at all. He wielded his Mo Dao and killed the first two men in black who rushed up to him one by one.

The leader in black was surprised to see Shi Shouyi so brave and holding a sword, and said, "So he is a border soldier!"

After saying that, he prepared to jump out of the window and escape.

But just as he reached the window, several other soldiers broke in through the window, killed the man in black in front of them, and stopped the leader of the black-clad men.

Shi Shouyi said: "In the capital, under the imperial city, you killed people to silence them. You are so brave!"

The leader in black said, "Do you know who I belong to? How dare you ruin my plans!"

Shi Shouyi wiped the blood off Mo Dao and said, "I was just about to ask you, tell me."

The leader in black realized something and pretended to be calm, saying, "You are border troops, how can you be in charge of the affairs of the capital?"

Shi Shouyi said: "I have guarded the border for more than ten years and killed countless enemies, all for the sake of maintaining peace in the Tang Dynasty. You bastards don't know how to kill enemies to serve the country, but only know how to kill the people of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention in the capital, even in the palace, I should intervene!"

After Shi Shouyi finished speaking, he swung his Mo Dao and slashed at the leader in black. The leader in black raised his sword to block, but the sword was cut off by Shi Shouyi's Mo Dao.

Shi Shouyi then flew forward and kicked the black-clad leader down, pulled off his mask, turned around and said to the people outside the door: "Look, is it him?"

Shen Yao, who was at the door, walked in. When she saw the leader's face and remembered the scene of him killing her entire family, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "It's him, he is Cai Hua, he killed my entire family!"

"Your Highness is really right!" Shi Shouyi sighed, grabbed Cai Hua's ear, cut it off with a knife, threw it to Shen Yao, and said: "I'll give you something to relieve your hatred, but you have to save his life first, Your Highness still has some use for him."

Cai Hua screamed in pain and tried to cover his ears to stop the bleeding but it hurt, so he could only wave his hands around.

Shen Yao looked at the ear on the ground, then at the body on the ground, trembling as he saluted, "Thank you, General."
