Chapter 8 Eyes Behind
Smart people never miss every detail, and they can easily see the essence of things through appearances.
Sheng Moming has always been a smart man. He has a very keen sense of smell and never misses any clues.
He originally just wanted to stand up for his men, but he was frustrated in front of King Xiao. However, he also got an unexpected gain, because he discovered that King Xiao and the great swordsman Jian Ying Wu Xing were together. Although he didn't know it clearly
What were they going to do, but he knew that this matter must be extraordinary.
So as soon as he returned to the temple, the first thing he did was go to his father and tell him what had happened.
In the temple, Sheng Lingren was having fun with more than ten beauties in the inner hall, when Sheng inexplicably barged in.
Sheng Moming's temperament is very different from that of his father and brother. He has never liked beauty.
"Get out of here," Sheng said inexplicably as soon as he came in.
No matter what Sheng Moming does, Sheng Lingren will not be angry. Because the person Sheng Lingren trusts the most is not his biological son Sheng Zhiqiang, but his adopted son Sheng Moming.
Sheng Momei's martial arts skills were higher than Sheng Zhiqiang's, and he was more sophisticated in his actions. In addition to not being fond of women, he also had the legacy of Sheng Lingren. Although Sheng Lingren was also greedy for women, his heart was brighter than anyone else's. He
He knows what he should and should not do; he also knows who around him can be trusted and who can be embarrassed. He knows that Sheng Moming is the person closest to him, so in recent years, he has left everything in the temple to his
The adopted son Sheng came to take care of it for no reason. Although Sheng Zhiqiang was dissatisfied, he could do nothing.
He saw Sheng inexplicably scolding everyone as soon as he came in. Knowing that he must have made some new discovery, he asked: "Ming'er, what happened?"
Sheng replied inexplicably: "My child met someone today."
"who?"
"Prince Xiao." Sheng replied inexplicably.
"What's all the fuss about? Don't you often drink with him?" Sheng Lingren still didn't quite understand.
Sheng replied inexplicably: "The key is that he is with someone he shouldn't be with."
"Someone who shouldn't be together? Who is this person?" Sheng Lingren obviously didn't pay enough attention and spoke a little carelessly.
"The fifth line of sword shadow."
When Sheng Lingren heard this, he immediately sat up and became more energetic. He asked, "Is this the fifth row of sword shadows ranked fifth on the swordsman list?"
"Yes, it is this person."
Sheng Lingren finally knew about the relationship this time, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The emperor asked King Xiao to secretly send people to investigate the robbery of the official banknotes. King Xiao is now looking for the fifth line. Could it be that he is coming for us?"
Sheng followed inexplicably: "The child thinks so too, so he came to report to his father. And I heard that the eldest brother did something not pretty there and left a lot of tails. In this way, we must be careful everywhere. I
We have already found someone to secretly keep an eye on the fifth line. No matter whether he is coming for us or not, we have to be on guard."
Sheng Lingren praised: "Ming'er, you did this right. Since you have seen the fifth line, what do you think of this person's martial arts?"
Sheng replied inexplicably: "According to my estimation, his martial arts should be above mine and below dad. If we fight against dad, within fifty moves, he will not be at a disadvantage; within a hundred moves, he will not be defeated."
.”
Sheng Lingren said: "In this way, this person is a tough guy. He has such attainments in martial arts at such a young age, and he will definitely be great in the future. Since he is no ordinary human, then if you send someone to follow him, he will be caught soon.
He found."
Sheng was inexplicably not worried about this, and replied: "I have thought of this child a long time ago, so the child is not looking for ordinary people. As long as I find any clues in the fifth line, I will ask this person to cut off the clues immediately, so that nothing can be missed
.In addition, let the elder brother hide for a while and not show up in the world for the time being, especially not in Sichuan, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Sheng nodded inexplicably with great satisfaction, and then praised: "Ming'er, with you here, dad really saves a lot of trouble. Don't worry! Your eldest brother is currently enjoying life in the Kunlun Mountains! He will not appear in the world for the time being."
Sheng said inexplicably: "That's very good. By the way, is there any news on Eunuch Shi's side?"
Sheng Lingren replied: "Eunuch Shi will naturally send people to thoroughly investigate the Tang Clan first. If necessary, he will use some extraordinary methods to make the Tang Clan jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clear it."
Sheng thought for a while and then said: "I think it's better for dad to find Eunuch Shi again and ask them to help us secretly and check the actions of Prince Xiao and the fifth line. It's better for them to take action than for our own people to take action.
It’s easy, and no one will doubt it.”
Sheng Lingren admired Sheng Moming even more, and said, "I'm still thoughtful about my name. Okay, I'll go find Eunuch Shi right now."
Prince Xiao is the elder brother of the current emperor. He naturally has a high position and is highly trusted by the emperor. His palace is also very majestic and splendid, not comparable to other palaces.
The fifth line and Prince Xiao came to the palace and were taken directly into Prince Xiao's study. Prince Xiao usually liked to read quietly, so his servants generally did not dare to break into the study without his permission. Prince Xiao just wanted to keep it secret.
, then brought the fifth line to the study to discuss matters. Of course, Wu Buxiao and others were the most trusted people by King Xiao, so they naturally came in.
Just as King Xiao was about to speak, the fifth line suddenly heard a soft sound from the tiles on the roof. The sound was so small that neither Cheng Shiyou nor Bai Zhonghuan paid attention to it. Despite this, the fifth line immediately signaled to King Xiao to shut up, and then
He quietly slipped out of the window.
Xiao Wang and others didn't know what the fifth line was doing, so they opened the door and took a look. They saw that the fifth line had jumped to the roof and looked around. He looked around, but found nothing, so he jumped to
He said on the ground: "There seemed to be someone on the roof just after we got up."
Cheng Shiyou and Bai Zhonghuan both said: "Impossible, why didn't our brothers find out?"
The fifth line didn't want to argue, so he said: "Maybe I heard it wrong. Let's go in and continue talking."
After entering the house, King Xiao asked: "I wonder if the fifth young hero has heard about the case of the disaster relief officer's banknote being robbed in central Sichuan?"
The fifth line says: “I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
Prince Xiao said directly: "To be honest, I came to the Fifth Young Hero just because I wanted the Fifth Young Hero to pursue the case secretly."
The fifth line says: "I am not good at investigating cases. This should be a matter for the government. I'm afraid the prince has found the wrong person."
Xiao Wang said: "Such a big case must be committed by people in the Jianghu. Although the government will also investigate, I'm afraid it will have little effect."
In the fifth line, he immediately understood what Prince Xiao meant and asked: "Do you want me to secretly go to various factions in central Sichuan to investigate this matter?"
Wu Buxiao said: "Yes, that's what the prince means. I wonder if the fifth young hero is willing to go?"
King Xiao then said: "After the matter is completed, 10% of the official silver will belong to the fifth young hero."
