Chapter 45 Doubt
The old general saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him, and he didn't pay much attention. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, even if Shen Cai is guilty, most of the faults are not his fault."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little worried, he still pretended to be attentive and asked knowingly, "Then whose fault is it?"
"The ancients said that if a son fails to teach, it is the father's fault. As a father, Prime Minister Shen did not properly educate Shen Cai."
"This is indeed the truth's negligence. I will be disciplined strictly from now on..." Shen Fu said coldly.
"As the Prime Minister, you are unruly..."
"Whenever I misbehave, General Bai, don't just frame the truth!" Shen Fu quickly interrupted the old general.
"Hey," the old general said with some contempt in his eyes, "Could it be that the Prime Minister wants to say that you don't know anything about Shen Cai? Don't laugh at me, General."
"I am the prime minister, the head of all officials. He is busy with court affairs all day long and has no time to take care of his son's discipline. Naturally, I neglect him a lot."
The old general would not let Mr. Shen fool him like that, and continued, "Humph, I have a disciple who has some friendship with the Yong'an government office. I also accidentally heard that he received many complaints against Mr. Shen for robbing people. The woman's case was said to be because of Shen Cai's identity, so he didn't dare to directly recruit Shen Cai for trial. The matter was reported to the court, but there was no response from the court for a long time. Your Majesty, do you know about this matter?" He handed over the compilation and drank at Chao Zi. He bowed and asked.
Zi Liushang narrowed his eyes, turned to Shen Fu, and asked, "Master Shen..."
Shen Fu knelt down and said, "Report to the Emperor, I don't know about this, I..."
Before he finished speaking, a chamberlain on the side said sharply, "The Ninth Prince has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yuchen in purple clothes was seen walking out. Everyone saluted, "See the Ninth Prince!"
Yi Xiaorou didn't want to salute, but she found that once she was different from others, countless people would focus on her. She didn't want to attract attention, but she didn't want to kneel to anyone, so she squatted slightly without kneeling. She She was small and was covered by a group of people, so naturally no one saw her squatting.
"See you, brother emperor." Zi Yuchen bowed and saluted.
"Ninth brother, please excuse me. You should also get up!" He said to the people below,
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ninth brother, why are you here? Where is eighth brother? Wherever you went yesterday, you couldn't find anyone."
Zi Liuzhang felt relieved about this ninth brother, because he had no ambitions, and since he was a disciple of Qingyun Mountain, he naturally wanted to win over him, and he seemed to be getting closer to him.
"Thank you, Brother Huang, Brother Baz... is resting." He paused and replied.
"rest?"
"Well, yesterday... Bage and I were accidentally attacked when we went out to investigate a case. Bage was afraid that he was too frightened, so he still rested in the house." Zi Yuchen answered with a frown.
"What?!" the emperor exclaimed, "Are you injured? Who is so bold as to hurt the prince?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Fu broke out in a cold sweat. He was frightened for a while. Yesterday, he also had a brain twitch and just listened to other people's words. Fortunately, he was a hired man, so he was naturally not afraid of leaving evidence.
Zi Yuchen smiled gracefully and said, "Brother, there is no need to worry, Brother Ba and I are fine."
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a white figure in a secluded area of the crowd. He was a little surprised, walked over, and said with a smile, "Miss Yi, why are you here? I see you again. It's really fate."
"..." Yi Xiaorou, who was trying hard to appear feminine, pursed her lips and nodded in response.
Zi Yuchen was also used to Yi Xiaorou's indifference, so naturally he didn't take it to heart.
He turned around and looked at Nalan Xianzhang beside Yi Xiaorou, and said hello with a smile, "Miss Nalan, you are here too."
Nalan Xianzhen smiled so innocently, "Yeah."
There was a lot of fun chatting here, and it was also lively over there at Ziliu Shang.
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Prime Minister Shen's sophistry. I have evidence that Prime Minister Shen accepted bribes privately. Also, does the Emperor still remember what happened to his daughter Shen Tianyun a year ago?" After saying that, he took out a book from his sleeve. This small book is presented with both hands.
Shen Fu frowned, looking at the small book in his hand with a look of disbelief on his face, how could it be possible? That wasn't it, wasn't it burned along with Shen Tianyun's mother and her natal family?
The waiter on the side took it and handed it to Ziliu.
Zi Liushang raised his eyebrows and took it. He naturally remembered that there was a lot of fuss about the incident back then. It was said that Shen Tianyun had a private relationship with the man before he left the court. When his mother caught him, he killed her mother ruthlessly because he was in the palace at that time. Her mother's family lived in her mother's house, so many people knew about this incident. She was so cruel that she killed more than a hundred members of the Lin family, and finally the incident came out.
This matter seems simple, but there is a lot to it.
As Shen Tianyun is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, her upbringing must be very strict, so it is naturally impossible for her to do such a thing.
Even if she really did something like that, if she wanted to kill people, then although no one from the Lin family has become an official, their family has a great business. Most of the shops in Yong'an belong to the Lin family, and there must be many masters in the family. Shen Tianyun was only sixteen years old, and no matter how talented she was, she could only reach the level of the earth. Even if she included the man who was flirting with her, he would not be able to kill so many people unless he was a master. However, in this world, in addition to the imperial power In a world where martial arts is respected, a master who has the ability to kill so many people must be above the heavenly realm.
Masters above the heavenly realm can only get what they ask for. Not to mention wooing, the prime minister loves face very much, so how could he let such a thing be publicized? Aren't you afraid of losing face?
Besides, if the Prime Minister's Mansion had feelings for Shen Tianyun, his legitimate daughter, then he would not care about dealing with the man. If he was afraid of offending the man, how could he point the finger of blame for this matter at Shen Tianyun alone.
This incident happened suddenly. Although Ziliu Sheng secretly sent people to investigate, they could only get some sparse evidence, and deeper things have not yet been discovered.
