872 Concealment (1)
It had been more than a month since Shen Miao left the capital.
In the past month or so, there had been a lot of discussions about this marriage in the capital. When the storyteller in the inn talked about the grand occasion of Prince Rui marrying a consort that day, the inn was always crowded with customers.
After all, such a grand marriage was unheard of in the history of Ming Qi.
After Shen Miao and Prince Rui left, two things happened in the capital.
One thing was that the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop, which had been open in the capital for many years, suddenly closed. All the shops and buildings under the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop were sold off at a low price overnight. It was said that the shopkeeper of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop had an emergency and needed money, so he suddenly left.
It was only after the new owner appeared that the commoners realized that no one had seen what the shopkeeper of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop looked like.
The second thing was that after his daughter got married, the mighty general, Shen Xin, was promoted to be in charge of the entire imperial army.
On the surface, it looked like he was promoted, but in fact, that was not the case. It was just an empty post. Moreover, Shen Xin had always been training the Shen army, and the Shen army listened to his command. On the other hand, the imperial army served the royal family. Could Shen Xin really be able to discipline them?
Therefore, everyone with eyes and brains knew that Emperor Wen Hui was wary of Shen Xin. Shen Miao had married into the Daliang Dynasty, and Shen Xin doted on his daughter. The relationship between the Daliang Dynasty and Ming Qi was unstable now. If Shen Xin secretly sided with the Daliang Dynasty, he would do something bad to Ming Qi.
Although Shen Xin had been a general in Ming Qi for so many years and was loyal, it couldn’t stop the emperor from being paranoid.
The people felt bad for Shen Xin. The royal family was really too heartless. It was clearly a marriage granted by Emperor Wen Hui, but now, because of this marriage, Shen Xin had to bear unreasonable punishment. It was really infuriating.
Emperor Wen Hui did not care about the opinion of the people. He was trying his best to please the emperor of the State of Qin. For some reason, the Daliang Dynasty always made him feel uneasy. At least if he joined forces with the State of Qin, he would be able to enjoy peace during the time he was alive.
Prince Ding also had not been very happy recently.
Fu Xiuyi said with a dark expression, “It’s been a month, but you still haven’t found Pei Lang. Does he know how to fly? Whether he’s alive or dead, I want to see his corpse. If you can’t find him, don’t come back.”
The subordinates below nodded. Fu Xiuyi waved his hand in frustration. “Get lost!”
The few of them retreated in fear.
He sat down on the chair and pressed his forehead, looking a little tired.
The person who saved Pei Lang set fire to his dungeon. Many people in the dungeon were useful to him, but they were all burned to ashes. One could imagine how angry Fu Xiuyi was.
What made him the most angry was that there was no trace of Pei Lang at all. Fu Xiuyi thought that he had eyes and ears all over the capital, but he could not even find a person. This could only mean that Pei Lang was more capable than him. Having such an opponent couldn’t make him happy.
