Xu Tian's bodyguards appeared.
He captured the assassin in just three moves.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Songren kicked the man in the back.
He winced in pain, but did not reveal who had sent him.
Songren swung his broadsword.
"You won't talk, huh? Then I'll cut your ear off right now."
The man in black instinctively covered his ears.
Songren slapped him across the face.
He has never shown any mercy when dealing with these men in black.
If you can get him to say it, you definitely won't use sweet talk.
Finally, the man in the dark, tormented by Song Ren, began to beg for mercy.
"Sir, spare my life! I am a secret guard from the Tenth Prince's residence."
Nowadays, several princes have kept their own secret guards in their residences.
It's all just in case.
Upon learning that the man in black was Li Shen's man, Song Ren did not show him any courtesy. After giving him a severe beating, Xu Tian ordered his men to send him directly to the cell next to Li Shen's as a warning to others.
Li Shen soon learned of this, but he remained calm and composed.
What he needs to do now is to stay calm. If he loses his composure at this moment, he will only be killed by Xu Tian.
The thought of Xu Tian made him grit his teeth in hatred, wishing he could tear Xu Tian's flesh apart alive.
In an effort to rescue Li Shen, Li Shen's wife, Li Er, knelt at the entrance of the Imperial Study and refused to rise.
"This is the third day already, and I don't even want to come back to the Imperial Study anymore."
Li Er was so annoyed that he sought out Xu Tian to discuss a solution.
"If it were anyone else, I would have sent them away long ago. However, this Li Shen's wife is just too difficult to deal with."
It was precisely because this woman could help Li Shen that Li Er agreed to this marriage.
But unexpectedly, I now feel like I've shot myself in the foot.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tian said, "How about we come up with a compromise?"
Li Er listened attentively.
Xu Tian continued, "Your Majesty can use all of Li Shen's assets to have the Tenth Prince's Consort bail Li Shen out of prison."
In this way, they could not only get rid of the woman, but also obtain a large portion of the property to replenish the national treasury.
Why not?
Li Er thought this was a good idea.
It was announced very quickly.
Sure enough, Li Shen's wife quickly ordered people to move all the finances of the Tenth Prince's residence in.
The tenth prince was quite helpless after learning about this.
After all, if he were kept locked up here, who knows what might happen to him.
He had to get out; he didn't want to stay inside for another second.
As long as I can get out, what does it matter if I waste a little money?
He owns plenty of houses and can make a lot of money.
Those corrupt officials will soon be able to send it to him.
Would he be afraid of not having money?
What he should be afraid of is that once he gets out, Xu Tian will definitely not let him go.
He had to change his strategy. I was talking to Xu Tianduo again, just like before.
After Li Shen was released from prison, he was completely different, like a different person.
He suddenly changed his mind, stopped opposing Xu Tian, and even approached Xu Tian to try and mend their relationship.
Xu Tian, however, did not believe that he had reformed.
I believe he only wants to win me over and make Xu Tian one of Li Shen's men.
Xu Tian would never actually enter Li Shen's residence.
He deliberately kept his distance from Li Shen.
He indicated that he could never betray them.
Whether it's Li Er or Li Zhi!
He will remain loyal to the death, just like everyone else.
Seeing that Xu Tian was unwilling to agree, Li Shen directly ordered his men to bring out all the large boxes of jewelry and silver.
