Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

Chapter 1296 Walls have ears

Shen Xiao snorted coldly and did not respond. After a pause, his eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of something. He asked gloatingly, "Hasn't the housekeeper in your palace been found yet?"

When Shen Xiao mentioned Wei Wei, Shen Xun's face darkened noticeably, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

Wei Wei, the housekeeper of Prince Guangyang's Mansion, is one of the few "relatives" that Shen Xun has now.

His father failed in the fight for the throne and was beheaded. His mother hanged herself upon hearing the news. Everyone in Guangyang Palace fled like birds and beasts. At that time, Weiwei was the only one left by his side.

If he could do it all over again, he would not let Wei Wei go to the restaurant to find the Huang family that day.

That day, Shen Xun lost a lot.

Lost Weiwei.

Lost the princess who was about to marry into the family.

Even the Huang family disappeared without a trace overnight, as if they had never appeared.

He sent many people to investigate the restaurant matter, but even with the power of the academy, he still found nothing.

Even now, we can only be sure that a powerful force intervened and erased all traces.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

A terrifying voice rang out from outside the door: "Sir, someone has arrived."

Hearing this, Shen Xiao stood up with a smile: "Quick enough, let's go and welcome our He Caizi."

"Click."

The door opened and He Ji stood tremblingly behind Cui Bu.

Even though he had never learned martial arts, he could still feel the cold aura from Cui Bu at close range. He was definitely a man who would kill without blinking an eye.

"He Caizi, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come in quickly. We're waiting for you."

Shen Xiao took the initiative to step forward and welcomed He Ji into the private room.

"What do you want me to do when I come here?"

He Ji walked in, glanced around quickly, and his voice was slightly deep.

"What? Of course I'm treating you to a meal. I want to make friends with you, Mr. He!"

Shen Xiao laughed and looked at Shen Xun and Yu Yang: "Don't you think so?"

Shen Xun didn't reply.

Yu Yang smiled and nodded: "Yes, sir."

He Ji is not a fool. Thinking back to the content of the letter, it would be fine if the other party really just wanted to treat him to a meal.

"Hurry up and sit down. Ask the store owner to serve the food quickly."

Shen Xiao pushed He Ji to his seat and urged Cui Bu.

"Yes, son."

Cui Bu nodded, turned around and left the private room to urge the food to be served.

As soon as he sat down, He Ji was stared at by three pairs of eyes, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"I..."

He Ji was about to speak when Shen Xiao interrupted him with a gesture.

"Shh, let's talk after dinner."

Shen Xiao removed his fingers from his lips and raised the corners of his mouth.

He Ji subconsciously clenched his fists.

After Cui Bu urged for the dishes, the table was soon filled with delicious food. Shen Xiao even specially asked for a pot of good wine and lowered his status to pour wine for He Ji.

"I see that He Caizi is a handsome man, so I think he can drink a lot."

Shen Xiao said with a smile.

"I...I can drink quite well."

He Ji clenched his fists a little tighter and said with forbearance.

Throughout the dinner, it was Shen Xiao who livened up the atmosphere, Shen Xun watched the show, and Cui Bu and Yu Yang concentrated on eating.

He Ji was constantly being forced to drink by Shen Xiao. Even though he could hold his liquor a bit, his sober mind gradually became a little fuzzy.

In the private room next door.

Shen Yian was leisurely playing with the teacup in his hand, with Yin Zai sitting next to him. The two of them were listening to the noise next door "openly".

Although Yu Yang had already set up a soundproofing array, it was useless in front of the two powerful Divine Wandering Realm masters.

Originally, Shen Yian planned to wait for Shen Xiao and others to finish their meal and create a chance encounter at the restaurant entrance, but he unexpectedly noticed He Ji rushing to the restaurant.

What was even more unexpected was that He Ji came to the restaurant to meet Shen Xiao and others.

Things suddenly became very interesting.

So, Shen Yian asked for the private room next door, drank tea, watched the fun, and listened to what Shen Xiao and the others were going to do with He Ji.

Why are they looking for He Ji? You can guess with your butt that it is because of He Fangyi.

To be honest, He Ji is quite unlucky. Ever since he came to Tianwu City to take part in the Spring Examination, he has had a lot of trouble. Either his friends have problems or he himself has encountered problems.

Of course, most of the reasons come from his uncle.

If He Fangyi was not the prime minister, who would care too much about a candidate taking part in the spring examination?

In the private room, after three rounds of drinks, He Ji pinched his thighs several times, forcing himself to stay sober for a moment from the chaos.

"He Caizi, are the dishes I ordered not to your liking? Don't you want to eat a single bite."

Shen Xiao asked with a smile.

"I ate when I came here, so I'm not hungry."

He Ji spoke.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself after chatting for such a long time. My name is Yu Yang, so you can just call me Master Yu."

Shen Xiao smiled.

Upon hearing Shen Xiao's words, Yu Yang, who was picking up food, was obviously stunned.

No, if his name is taken, how will he introduce himself later?

"My name is Weixun."

Shen Xun followed closely and introduced himself.

"Well, we two are the accompanying guards, the name is not important."

Noticing that everyone was paying attention to him, Yu Yang laughed.

"Now, let's get down to business."

He Ji took a deep breath.

"of course can."

Shen Xiao clapped his hands and went straight to the point, saying sinisterly: "He Caizi, you should know that leaking the exam questions is a capital crime."

When He Ji heard the word "leaking questions", he sobered up instantly.

There was no other reason, his uncle He Fangyi was one of the people who set the questions for this imperial examination.

It is said that this year, in order to prevent the leakage of examination questions, His Majesty specially dispatched the Military Guards to be responsible for escorting the examination questions.

If a leak occurs, the people who set the questions are undoubtedly the most likely suspects.

By the way, have the test questions been determined now?

"What do you mean?"

He Ji believed in his uncle's character and would never do such a thing, even if someone threatened him.

"It's nothing special. I just want to show my concern for Mr. He and your uncle, Mr. He."

Shen Xiao smiled with his lips but not his eyes.

"If you have solid evidence, you can report my uncle to the Supervisory Council. Why call me here?"

Alcohol makes cowards brave. He Ji took advantage of the remaining drunkenness and stood up suddenly to leave.

He believed in his uncle.

next door.

Shen Yian was quite surprised by He Ji's performance. This kid still has some backbone.

Although I don't know what exactly happened, I can hear it.

Shen Xiao called He Ji to threaten him by using the "leaking of exam questions" issue.

It is unknown what the threat to He Ji was for.

The test questions were indeed decided in these two days.

Leaked question...

Shen Xiao might not have made this up out of thin air, but someone really did leak the test questions.

Who is it?

Neither Mr. Zhou nor He Fangyi are likely.

Then the problem may lie with the three great scholars.

Shen Yian was not sure whether any of the three people were from Wei Ling Academy or the "Lord".

If you wanted to pin the blame of leaking the exam questions on He Fangyi, why did you call He Ji?

Just like what He Ji said just now, if there is enough evidence, why not just report it directly to the Supervisory Yuan? Someone will impeach He Fangyi, so why go through so much trouble?

"He Caizi, it doesn't matter whether your uncle leaked the test questions or not. What matters is that you came here today, and that's enough."

Shen Xiao sat on the chair, looking calm.
