Chapter 87: Tit for Tat, Set a Trap for Him

Hearing this, Su Chongyuan almost couldn't breathe and fainted on the spot. He gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Yuanhong angrily, his teeth almost breaking.

Damn it, this matter has nothing to do with him at all. He was just framed. Why should he look for evidence to prove his innocence?

This guy must have set a trap for him on purpose.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Su Chongyuan's mind, and a thought crossed his mind: Could this guy be the one who assassinated the prime minister and framed him?

Could it be that this guy knows about the princess and it has something to do with him?

How is this possible?

He clearly didn't make a move...

"This is a very good plan, Your Majesty. I agree with Duke Ning's proposal. Since the Grand Marshal keeps saying he was framed, then if he was framed, he should find evidence to clear his name."

Prime Minister Han sneered at Su Chongyuan and spoke word by word through gritted teeth.

As soon as he expressed his opinion, all his followers immediately spoke up to support him and asked Xiao Jue to finalize it.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. I was framed. The murderer behind the scenes wanted to frame me, so how could he leave evidence for me to investigate?"

If Shen Yuanhong really did this, and he still made such a proposal, then there is no doubt that he would have handled it cleanly long ago and would definitely not leave any handle. How could he investigate?

How can I prove my innocence?

Su Chongyuan's face looked extremely ugly. He stepped forward to refute the proposal, but was rejected by Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue looked at him indifferently, his voice was intimidating without being angry, and filled with a sense of oppression.

"Lord Su, so many officials in the court have been assassinated, and the evidence all points directly to you. You should give an explanation to the others."

"Let's do as Duke Ningguo ordered. For the time being, don't come to court. Focus on investigating this matter and finding evidence to clear your name."

You are not joking!

This matter is completely set in stone and there is no possibility of change.

Even if Su Chongyuan was not convinced, he had no other choice. He gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Yuanhong with sinister eyes. Shen Yuanhong touched his chin and smiled at him.

This smile almost made Su Chongyuan vomit blood in anger.

He looked away, bowed his head, and said with an extremely ugly expression, "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

I finally made it to the end of the court session.

Su Chongyuan had a dark face and was ready to stop Shen Yuanhong and ask for an explanation, but as soon as he left the hall, he was stopped by officials from the prime minister's party.

Officials from the prime minister's party blocked his way and cursed him angrily, making him so angry that he wanted to kill someone on the spot.

But the other party is now very emotional and has a large number of people. On the other hand, his followers are squeezed outside and cannot get close to him at all. If he angers the other party, it will be difficult for his people to rescue him.

After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, Su Chongyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure, silently bearing the venting of the prime minister's party officials, and deeply remembered a debt to Shen Yuanhong in his heart.

By the time the other party had cursed enough and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, Shen Yuanhong had already disappeared. He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​looking for Shen Yuanhong.

When such a thing happened in the court, the situation among the aristocratic families was also not peaceful.

The several major families, headed by the Xie family, have all encountered a lot of trouble in the past few days. Some family merchant ships have encountered problems, some families have had their reputations tarnished, and some family members have been assassinated, etc...

Several major families conducted a secret investigation and found the Wang family was the cause of the crime.

Among all the aristocratic families, only the Wang family has been calm and peaceful recently. Who would believe that it has nothing to do with the Wang family?

As a result, the Wang family was dragged into the business without knowing what was happening, and was besieged by several major families, causing heavy losses to the business.

That’s not all. In the past few days, everyone in the Wang family has been watched by several forces, even the servants are no exception, which makes them dare not act rashly.

The family's assassins were lying in wait.

However, no matter how deeply it is hidden, it cannot withstand the digging of so many people.

The head of the Wang family was extremely anxious, fearing that the assassins raised by the clan would be accidentally exposed to the eyes of other families.

East Garden.

Shen Yuanhong came back from court and went to see Mrs. Shen in a good mood.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Shen was feeding Shen Wan, and Shen Qingyi was sitting beside her watching, holding Shen Wan's little hand in her hand.

"father."

Seeing him come back, Shen Qingyi quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Um."

Shen Yuanhong responded, strode over, and reached out to touch Shen Wan's face.

"Xiao Wan'er, Daddy is back."

Shen Wan lazily raised her eyelids and looked at him, instantly perking up.

[Hey, Dad is in such a good mood today? Could it be that something good happened in the court?]

[What good thing could possibly outweigh such a serious matter as my father being framed?]

[Could it be that the matter of Dad being framed has been resolved?]

The corners of Shen Yuanhong's mouth rose slightly. Or was it that Xiao Wan'er had strong observation skills, allowing her to see it so easily at a glance?

"Husband, did something good happen to you?"

Hearing the little milk bag's thoughts, Mrs. Shen looked up at her husband, and sure enough, she saw a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.

[See, I know that my mother and I are in tune with each other. She can always say what I want to say.]

Shen Qingyi: "..."

My little sister, you are so naive!

I don’t know if you will still feel great in the future when you know that your mother and many people can hear your heart and you have no secrets from us.

[Dad, please tell me quickly. I'm getting so anxious waiting for you.]

Shen Wan pricked up her ears and stared at Shen Yuanhong with her eyes, looking like she was listening attentively, which made Shen Yuanhong laugh.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her little face again, and chuckled as he told her what happened in the court today.

"Yesterday, several officials in the court were assassinated. A token of protection from the Su family was found at the scene. During this morning's court session, the officials, led by the Prime Minister, filed a report against Su Chongyuan, accusing him of murdering his colleagues."

"Now, the emperor has ordered that he not attend court for the next few days and that he devote all his energy to investigating this matter and proving his innocence."

"If Su Chongyuan can't prove his innocence this time, he'll be in big trouble."

Even if the emperor does not punish him, the prime minister and his party will not let him go. From now on, there will be a good show to watch in the capital.

【What? 】

[Su Chongyuan assassinated the Prime Minister's accomplices? How is this possible?]

Although Su Chongyuan was in charge of the military, he only had administrative power over it, not command. In other words, he only had the power to assign and appoint troops, and could not directly mobilize the army.

[And the guards in his mansion, as well as the private soldiers he secretly raised, even if they were combined with the Wang family, it would be impossible for them to attack several high-ranking officials at the same time. After all, each high-ranking official had a large number of guards with him.]

[As for the Wang family, they had just helped him teach the princess a lesson. Although this incident was pinned on my father, it was still a serious matter that would have resulted in the extermination of the entire clan. To prevent any accidents, the Wang family's assassins had already gone into hiding. How could they dare to move around in the short term?]

[Su Chongyuan isn't crazy. How could he possibly send someone to attack the court officials at such a sensitive time?]

[This incident was definitely not arranged by Su Chongyuan.]
