Shocking! The Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor Got Together! – Chapter 04

Chapter 4 I’m going to beat him to death with sticks!

Shen Zhejiang really paused.

He touched his sleeve and found that his clothes were new, and even the letter was missing. He didn’t know whether it was lost in the water or taken away by Xiao Zhinian.

Xiao Zhinian should not be aware of what happened back then. If he had seen it, how would he look upon me?

“Liubao, bring him in.”

Without giving Shen Zhejiang a chance to refuse, Xiao Zhinian gave an order and called out loudly.

Liu Bao came in tremblingly, carrying the beggar with him. He knelt down at Xiao Zhinian’s feet with a plop, clung to his legs, and cried with snot and tears, “Your Highness! I have been with Your Highness since I was a child. For this reason, please forgive me this time! I will never reveal a single word about what happened to you, Lord Shen!”

Xiao Zhinian’s face turned black. He kicked Liu Bao and said, “You dog slave! Shut up! If you want to be with me, I will also be a master…”

Glancing at Shen Zhejiang’s slightly admonishing look, his voice became lower and lower.

The beggar rolled his eyes: “…” Oh my God, is there anyone who would pay attention to me?

Let’s get back to the topic.

Without saying a word, Xiao Zhinian took Shen Zhejiang to sit at the table, ordered Liubao to make pine leaf green clothes tea, and brought some cakes for Shen Zhejiang to eat, and then began to interrogate the beggar.

“Tell me, why do you want to push this gentleman?”

The beggar looked younger than Xiao Zhinian. He was covered in dust and dirt, and his whole body was as dirty as if he had rolled in the mud. He said righteously: “Because I have money. A gangster like me cannot compare with the two nobles. I only care about food and shelter.”

Xiao Zhinian asked: “Who gave you the money?”

“Why should I tell you?” the little beggar asked back.

Xiao Zhinian was so angry that he laughed: “Do you know who you are talking to? Just answer whatever I ask, why are you talking so much nonsense?”

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and this little beggar really shows this.

The little beggar was not afraid of him: “If you don’t tell me, how can I know who you are?”

“If I don’t give you a taste of my flesh, you won’t know how powerful I am,” Xiao Zhinian snorted coldly and signaled Liubao with his eyes, “Go, beat him until he is willing to answer.”

Two eunuchs immediately held the little beggar on both sides. Liubao took a mahogany stick and approached him, and started beating him with the stick.

The little beggar struggled, he was still a child after all, and when he saw that he couldn’t break free, he felt scared, and he shouted, “Let me go! Let me go!”

Shen Zhejiang’s expression moved slightly, and he raised his sleeves to stop him, “Wait.”

Liu Bao hesitated and looked at Xiao Zhinian. No matter what, the prince was his master now.

Xiao Zhinian nodded and said, “Sir’s order is my order, put it down.”

“Yes.”

Shen Zhejiang waved at the little beggar and said loudly, “Come here.”

The little beggar was not afraid when he saw that someone was backing him up. He said bluntly, “Why should I listen to…”

Before he could finish the word “you”, Xiao Zhinian raised his eyebrows and glared at him. The little beggar choked and dared not say another word. He walked over angrily.

Eight years ago, Shen Zhejiang was nominated to be the Prince’s Tutor. At that time, Xiao Zhinian was only a child of six or seven years old, and he was even more arrogant and ignorant.

Looking at the little beggar’s behavior, he easily thought of Xiao Zhinian’s childhood and felt pity for him.

Shen Zhejiang picked up the porcelain plate of cloud cake that had not been touched and handed it to the little beggar standing in front of him, and then said: “Tell me what you know, and these cakes are all yours.”

The little beggar swallowed his saliva and was about to reach out to take it, but Xiao Zhinian snatched the plate and said dissatisfiedly: “This is for you, sir.” Shen

Zhejiang pinched the plate with his knuckles and said in a deep voice: “Your Highness.”

Xiao Zhinian looked into his eyes, as calm as ever, even a little more severe than usual –

this was the expression Shen Zhejiang would show when he made a mistake.

The crown prince of Dayan Dynasty was fearless and turned the palace upside down. Even the emperor and empress could do nothing to him. Just when everyone thought that the country would be defeated by such a prince one day, Shen Zhejiang appeared.

As the saying goes, every thing has its own nemesis.

No one knew what method Shen Zhejiang used to subdue this little devil so perfectly. To be more precise, Shen Zhejiang couldn’t explain the reason in the past few years.

Xiao Zhinian shut up. His sad expression made him look like an abandoned puppy. He reluctantly and slowly loosened his hand, even humming softly with particular grievance.

How can you help outsiders but not insiders?

He refused to accept.

The little beggar’s eyes rolled back and forth between the two men, and he cleverly realized that the gentle one seemed more dignified than the other. If he could rely on him, he would probably have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Chen Zhejiang ignored Xiao Zhinian who was sulking alone and turned to the little beggar and said, “What do you think?”

“Okay,” the little beggar said loudly, “but you have to take care of my meals, every meal from now on.”

“Okay, but I also have a condition,” Chen Zhejiang bargained with him, “I’ll decide how to take care of it.”

The little beggar thought for a while and said, “Deal.”

“Go ahead.” ”

It was raining heavily that night. I had nowhere to go, so I hid in a dilapidated temple outside the city for the night. I was sleeping well, but was suddenly awakened by a man in black in the middle of the night.”

Xiao Zhinian asked anxiously, “Can you see what he looks like?”

“They say it’s a man in black, how can I see it?”

“Just try to talk back to me if you dare!” Xiao Zhinian slammed the table.

The little beggar trembled all over, huddled behind Shen Zhejiang, and cautiously looked at him.

Chen Zhejiang said, “Your Highness, let him finish.”

Xiao Zhinian felt as if a wall was pressing down on his chest, and he was depressed. Seeing that the little beggar dared to make faces at him complacently, his anger immediately rose. He should have beaten him to death with a stick!

Shen Zhejiang pulled the little beggar out and said, “Go on.”

“The man in black was wearing a hood, and it was pitch black around me, so I couldn’t see anything clearly. He put a knife on my neck, and I was scared to death. I thought I had offended some important person. Then he gave me a painting.” Shen Zhejiang

asked, “Who is in the painting?”

“You.”

“Me?”

The little beggar nodded: “It’s you. The man in black told me to do what he wanted, or he would kill me. Of course I was afraid of death. Moreover, he gave me a bag of silver and said I could choose between the knife and the purse. What could I do? If I didn’t choose the coin, I would be a fool.”

Shen Zhejiang said concisely: “So, this man asked you to kill me, then how did he know when I would appear on the bridge?”

The little beggar scratched his head with his dirty hands, and said embarrassedly: “He only asked me to find the right time to make the move. In fact, I have followed you for a long time.”

This child is brave and resourceful. If he is not guided to the right path, he will inevitably go down a path of no return.

Shen Zhejiang thought secretly and took a sip of hot tea.

But it was just such a coincidence, it happened just when I got the key information.

He asked again in a persuasive manner: “You really didn’t see the man’s appearance clearly? Were there any marks on his face, or did he have any ornaments on his hands?”

The little beggar searched his memory of that day, wrinkled his face and shook his head: “No… Oh, no, there was! His knife! When he took out the knife, there was lightning, and I saw an unripe fruit on the handle of his knife. It’s really strange, who would hang something like this? I wouldn’t even pick it!”

Xiao Zhinian asked in confusion: “…What do you mean by unripe fruit?”

The little beggar said proudly: “Unripe means unripe! You haven’t seen it before, have you? That’s right, how could Your Highness, who lives a life of luxury, have seen it?”

“Shut your mouth!”

They were arguing with each other like two half-year-old children.

Shen Zhejiang sighed and added, “It should be emerald jade.”

This means that the person who wants his life is not an ordinary person, but either a person in a high position or a wealthy businessman.

But apart from the emperor, Shen Zhejiang couldn’t think of another person who would have a grudge against him.

Could it be that it was really the emperor who did it?

If that was the case, why did you let him live back then?
