Above the stars

Luojia Mountain. Bamboo Sea Old House.

When Shen Jianping rushed over, the important figures of the Shen family had already gathered.

The three brothers Shen Wuxiang, Shen Boyu and Shen Wanshan sat on the throne, and the others were divided into two sides according to their seniority and status, standing or sitting.

Having a seat in the Shen family meeting room is more important than having a seat in the imperial court.

Shen Wuxiang, the uncrowned king of the empire, also rushed back from the Qishan camp. It seems that Shen Lewen's affairs have a great impact on the entire Shen family.

This made Shen Wuxiang and Shen Boyu feel the crisis, otherwise they would not have gone to such great lengths to hold such a large-scale family gathering at such a critical moment.

Seeing Shen Jianping enter the door, Shen Boyu pointed to the first seat on the left and said, "Jianping is back? Sit down and have a rest."

Shen Jianping is the vice prime minister of the empire, and is the seed player waiting to take over his position after the retirement of the Minister of Literature Su Zhenlie.

Once Shen Jianping secures the position of the Minister of Literature of the Empire, he will become the head of the three ministers, the first person after the Emperor of the Empire.

Therefore, he is not the oldest among his generation, but he is particularly valued by the family because of his prominent status.

"Thank you, second uncle."

Shen Jianping sat down as he was told, his face sad.

Shen Boyu looked at Shen Jianping's grief, sighed deeply, and comforted him: "Jianping, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please mourn and take care of yourself."

"Second uncle." Shen Jianping's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "I feel bad. The pain of sending the young to the old is the greatest pain in life."

"My head is empty now, and my whole body feels like it's being stabbed by needles. Seeing Le Wen lying there, I really want to take his place. I really want to lie there for him."

Shen Jianping covered his chest. The pain of losing his son almost completely destroyed him. He couldn't even sit on the chair. He looked heartbroken and might slip at any time.

"Jianping..." Shen Boyu walked up, gently patted Shen Jianping's shoulder, and said to comfort him: "I understand, I know, I feel the same way."

"Le Wen is also a child I watched grow up. He suffered such a murder. How can I not feel bad? Doesn't my heart hurt?"

"But we still have to look up and move forward. The family needs you, the empire needs you, and Le Wu also needs you."

"If you are unable to recover, what will happen to Le Wen's revenge? We must find the murderer and can't let the child die with regrets."

"Second uncle, you have to make a decision for us. Le Wen died too tragically, and this revenge must be avenged."

"Killing my son of the Shen family is an irreconcilable feud. I don't care who he is, no matter what his status is. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will pull him out. Lingchi death is not enough to relieve my hatred." Shen Boyu immediately expressed his position.

"Thank you, second uncle. Thank you, second uncle." Shen Jianping also knew that he had almost finished his "performance". If he continued to pretend, he would be disgusting.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "With your words, I feel relieved."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Boyu glared and said seriously, "Isn't Le Wen a child of our Shen family? It is natural for me to avenge him."

"Yes, yes, sorry, second uncle, I said the wrong thing without restraint."

"I don't blame you. Anyone who encounters such a thing will feel bad. I, an old man, can't bear such a blow."

He looked around, then his eyes fell on Shen Jianping's face and said, "So, I don't want such a thing to happen again in my family."

Everyone said yes, and no one dared to disobey Shen Boyu's meaning.

Shen Jianping understood that Shen Boyu was pointing out to him not to target his family.

He hated secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Shen Boyu walked back to his original seat and sat down, looking at Shen Jianping and asked: "Jianping, do you have any clues about Le Wen's murder?"

Shen Jianping shook his head and said: "No. I just heard from Zhang Jin and others that when they were drinking, a woman pretended to be a staff member and entered the box and poured a glass of wine for Le Wen."

"After the incident, Le Wu had someone take control of the Imperial Mansion and check the surveillance. The girl borrowed the identity information of a staff member named Kong Sheng."

"The bodyguard at the door also checked her work card and identity information, and there was no problem at all."

"It proves that the other party came prepared and has very advanced computer technology. He was able to hack into the intelligence system of the Imperial Mansion without anyone noticing and replace Kong Sheng's identity information." Shen Boyu explained aloud.

"Yes." Shen Jianping nodded and said, "After she harmed Le Wen, she pushed the garbage truck and left in a swagger."

"She disappeared next to the garbage truck behind the Imperial Mansion, and then there was no trace. We asked someone to scan her face for information, and we could only find Kong Sheng."

"But Kong Sheng was found at her residence. She was fed with ecstasy powder and was drunk for three days. She has not woken up until now."

"Was it done by the Lu family?" Shen Cong raised the suspect and said, "The Lu family's intelligent technology is extremely outstanding. Especially that Lu Siyu, who is the number one hacker in the empire. It is really easy for them to hack into the computer of the Imperial Mansion and replace the information."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Shen Jianping glanced at Shen Cong and said, "But the security factor of the Imperial Mansion's intelligent brain system is originally very low, and anyone can crack it."

"I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives poisoned the family and then put the blame on the Lu family. Anyway, the Lu family is not in Phoenix City, so you can put the blame on them."

Shen Cong felt Shen Jianping's hostility and said with dissatisfaction: "I just said it casually. We still need to find evidence to find out who did it. Why are you angry with me?"

"Am I angry? I'm talking to you. Before the murderer is found, everyone is a suspect."

"What do you mean when you say everyone is a suspect? Are all of us suspects?"

"I didn't say that, you put yourself in it."

"Shen Jianping, what do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean?"

Pah!

The sound of a tea bowl knocking on the table came.

Shen Wuxiang glanced at Shen Cong and Shen Jianping, and angrily scolded: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Cong and Shen Jianping didn't dare to speak.

Shen Wuxiang controls the imperial army and is the actual controller of this country.

He is not the head of the country, but he is better than the head of the country.

Even within the family, his words are the law.

Only Shen Boyu dared to raise a different opinion in front of him, and others had no right to protest.

Including Shen Jianping, the vice prime minister of the empire.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and whoever has the bigger fist has the right.

It is the same in ancient and modern times.

Shen Wuxiang's eyes fell on Shen Jianping's face and said, "We are all very sad about Le Wen's death. After hearing the news, I rushed back as soon as possible."

"Before that, I have asked the National Security Bureau to intervene in the investigation. Whatever the truth is, I believe they will give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

"But I want to solemnly declare here that before the results come out, everyone should not be suspicious of each other."

"I know that the atmosphere at home has been very strange recently, and many people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. They are trying to win over alliances and attack each other. The family is not like a family , family members are not like family members. "

"Le Wen's death is obviously someone trying to sow discord within our family. Before the big thing is done, our family members are fighting each other. Isn't this a joke?"

"So, from today, from this moment on, put away all your thoughts that you shouldn't have. We will discuss who will sit in that position in the future."

"If there is still someone who dares to stir up trouble and make the family restless, then he is our enemy of the Shen family. We will kick him out of the Shen family genealogy and deal with him as a spy. "

"."

Under the current situation, the crime of espionage is a capital crime.

Shen Wuxiang means that if someone stirs up conflicts and hostility within the family, he will definitely die.

"A harmonious family brings prosperity." Shen Boyu saw Shen Wuxiang finish his good-face performance and immediately spoke up to smooth things over: "Wuxiang is right. Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, our family is fighting. It not only makes outsiders laugh, but also delays our family's big things."

"What's the point of you fighting for something you haven't got yet? Who is responsible if the duck in your mouth flies away?"

"Now is an extraordinary period. Even Wuxiang is cautious every day and his heart is in his throat. Don't you have a little fear?"

"Do you know how many eyes are staring at us now? Although the remnants of the Tang family have fled to the old land, they have no ambushes in Xinxing? Maybe there are their people around us."

"And the Qin and Lu families who rule their own territories, are they so easy to get along with? If you are not careful, they will bite you."

"Family members, the road ahead is long and arduous, the mountains are high and dangerous, we must work together and make joint efforts."

"Second Grandpa is right, we Shen family members must think together and work together."

"Whoever sabotages at this time will be the sinner of the family."

"Everyone should value peace. I have never thought of that position."

--

"If you succeed, you will have fine clothes and delicious food. If you fail, you will die." Shen Wuxiang added beside him.

"."

No one can respond to this, and they dare not respond.

But who made him Shen Wuxiang?

If a small person speaks unpleasantly, it means he has low emotional intelligence.

If a big person speaks unpleasantly, it means he is straightforward.

No matter how harsh his words were, everyone present could only listen.

After doing ideological work for everyone, Shen Boyu said, "It's been a while since you've seen Xinglan, right? Come, let him come out to chat and drink tea with everyone."

Everyone looked into the yard, where the young man was in high spirits, his white clothes were whiter than snow.

——

Yanqing Street, No. 18.

The Residence of the Prime Minister.

Sheng Jing and Sheng Xinhuai, father and daughter, sat opposite each other. Sheng Xinhuai looked impatient and said, "Old Sheng, why did you bring me back from so far away? I have classes early tomorrow morning, and I have to go back to prepare for the class in advance."

Sheng Jing lowered his head to make tea, as if making tea was the most important thing.

He gave the tea in the cup to Sheng Xinhuai and said, "Drink tea."

"What's so good about tea? It's bland and tasteless. If there was wine, I could sit with you for three days and three nights."

Sheng Jing took a sip from the teacup himself, looked at Sheng Xinhuai and said, "Shen Lewen is dead."

"Ah?" Sheng Xinhuai looked surprised and asked Sheng Jing, "Dead? How did he die? Wasn't he alive and well yesterday?"

"He was poisoned to death just after he came to visit our Sheng family." Sheng Jing briefly introduced the situation.

"Who did it? Has the murderer been caught?"

Sheng Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Sheng Xinhuai and asked: "You don't know anything?"

"Old Sheng, what do you mean? What do I know?" She stared at Sheng Jing with wide eyes, with an incredible look on her face: "You don't suspect that I killed Shen Lewen? Am I crazy? Even if you don't want to marry him, there is no need to kill him."

"This matter is very complicated."

"No matter how complicated it is, it has nothing to do with me." Sheng Xinhuai said firmly: "When did he die? I'll find an alibi."

"."

Sheng Jing looked at Sheng Xinhuai thoughtfully.

As if to prove his innocence and grievance, Sheng Xinhuai also looked at his old man without showing any weakness.

After a long time, Sheng Jing waved his hand and said: "Go back and prepare lessons. A teacher should act like a teacher."

"I know." Sheng Xinhuai immediately got up from the ground, turned around and left, saying: "I am the most popular teacher in the school. No one else."

"Is Tang Fei back?" Sheng Jing asked aloud.

Sheng Xinhuai paused, turned around and looked at Sheng Jing, and said expressionlessly: "Are you back? How come I didn't know?"

Sheng Jing stared at her face and then sighed softly.

When Sheng Xinhuai walked away, a man with rosacea sat opposite Sheng Jing, picked up the tea that Sheng Xinhuai had not touched and drank it all in one gulp, then frowned and said: "Xinhuai is right, this tea is really tasteless, it's better to drink."

"You are full of alcohol, it's so suffocating." Sheng Jing said with disdain.

"Hahaha, alcoholic, alcoholic, how can you not smell of alcohol?" The man with rosacea said with a smile.

He looked at Sheng Jing with interest and said, "You, who almost never drink, gave birth to a drunkard daughter. Are you angry?"

"Isn't this your fault?" Sheng Jing gritted his teeth when he mentioned this matter: "If you hadn't thrown the wine gourd over when we drew lots, would she have been able to smell the smell and crawl over?"

"This only proves that she has a connection with wine. You put out so many delicious foods, but she didn't want them. Her eyes lit up when she saw the wine gourd. Can you blame me for this?"

"You should drink less too. Look at what you've become of yourself." Sheng Jing scolded.

If someone dared to scold him like this, the drunkard would break his head on the spot.

But this is his own brother.

He can only bear it.

"Okay, okay, I can't quit drinking, you should scold me for something else." The drunkard didn't get angry either, and said with a smile.

"."

Seeing that his elder brother didn't say anything, Jiuchi asked: "Do you really know that Tang Fei is back, or are you using rhetoric to deceive your precious daughter?"

"I just suspected it before, but now I can be sure." Sheng Jing said with a gloomy face.

"Why?"

"Because I mentioned Tang Fei in front of her. She didn't get angry."

"."
