Duke Shang didn't expect that this brat couldn't receive his signal, so he had to give up and said, "Grandpa has sand in his eyes, come in quickly."
The servant escorted Shang Yuanshan into the house and then left.
"Dad, why did Yuanshan faint?"
"Madam Wu, take everyone out and guard the yard. Don't let anyone in."
Nanny Wu took the order and led everyone out of the room.
Prime Minister Lin turned his head and looked at the bed. "Hurry up and get up."
"Hehe~" Shang Yuanshan opened his eyes and smiled awkwardly.
"Siqing, you need to listen to my explanation."
Lin Siqing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shang Yuanshan waking up. "Okay, you tell me."
[Wow~ What is Dad doing? He scared Yangyang so much that he dropped all the cakes he had just gotten.]
Lin Siqing admired her daughter's way of thinking, but even if she didn't throw away the pastry herself, she would have taken it back.
Shang Yuanshan looked at Shang Yangyang with shame, and hurriedly explained to Lin Siqing.
"The emperor asked me to come to the palace a few days ago to discuss the case of the missing girl. I almost forgot about it today because I was so busy."
Prime Minister Lin and Duke Shang looked at each other. The two old foxes did not interrupt the little fox and just waited to see what he had to say.
"I just went to the palace to ask the emperor for permission to go to Yangcheng with my eldest brother to investigate the missing girl case."
"Yuanshan, you..." Lin Siqing's face was full of shock. She thought Shang Yuanshan was going to stop her eldest brother, but she didn't expect that he was going to Yangcheng.
[Dad, are you going to Yangcheng to get yourself killed? Dad has no idea how dangerous Yangcheng is.]
[In the original novel, the uncle didn’t know that the governor of Yangcheng was the mastermind behind the girl’s disappearance. ”
"He didn't even know that the man behind Governor Wang had already set his sights on him. Everything he did in Yangcheng was monitored by the Governor, and what he could investigate was what the Governor wanted him to see.]
[In the end, because the uncle was a stubborn person, Governor Wang let his daughter climb into the uncle's bed to frame him.]
When Duke Shang heard Yangyang's thoughts, and thought about how Shang Yuanshan ran to the imperial study and insisted on going to Yangcheng, he must have been more than just the one who could hear Shang Yangyang's thoughts.
Duke Shang looked at Shang Yuanshan who was lying on the bed. Shang Yuanshan didn't know why Duke Shang looked at him like that. He could only grin at Duke Shang.
"Siqing, the emperor knows that Yangcheng is full of dangers and is worried about my brother going there alone, so he sent me to pretend to be a guard and go to Yangcheng with my brother.
The Emperor has also sent two hundred secret guards to protect my brother and me, so there won’t be any problems with safety.”
[How did the Emperor know that Yangcheng was in danger? He even asked Dad to go there in secret. He must be suspicious of the officials in Yangcheng.]
[If Dad and the others were more vigilant, it would be difficult for the governor to succeed.]
"Then why did you faint?" Lin Siqing knew that with Yangyang's inner voice, Shang Yuanshan was prepared and there was no need to worry about the trip to Yangcheng. What she was more worried about now was why Shang Yuanshan fainted.
"Isn't this just to secretly leave the capital, so I asked the emperor to cooperate with the play?
As for me, it took a lot of persuasion to get the emperor to agree to let me go to Yangcheng with him, but I had a quarrel with the emperor in order to secretly leave the capital.
The emperor has punished me by confining myself to my palace for two months to reflect on my mistakes, and has also deducted my salary for one year."
Shang Yuanshan looked at Lin Siqing with a proud smile.
Prime Minister Lin on the side just wanted to say that his words had dumbfounded them and Emperor Yuan Ming.
How could this person who was sitting on the ground and crying while slapping his thigh be General Shang on the battlefield? If others saw this, they would doubt their lives.
"Two months of confinement?"
"Yes, someone from the palace will be stationed outside the gate. No one except Siqing and you can go in or out. After that, I can sneak out of the capital."
"When do we leave?"
"I'm leaving tonight and need to investigate in Yangcheng first."
[Ah, I want to talk. I know that the girls who were taken away were all locked up in the secret room under the Buddha statue in Jingrong Temple.]
[There are countless wronged souls of women in Jingrong Temple. Anyone who disobeys will be tortured to death by their perverted abbot.]
[The trained women will be sent to the Bu Ke Academy in Yangcheng, where they will continue to be taught how to seduce men and make those officials and wealthy businessmen become the male protagonist's subordinates.]
Everyone in the room was very quiet; they were all shocked by Shang Yangyang's voice.
Shouldn’t the temple be a place where no one is saved? How could it be the location of the missing girl’s case?
There is also the Buko College, which is located all over the country. It is a women's college established in cities across the country after the emperor ascended the throne. It was actually used as a hideout by these people to harm innocent women.
There was a noisy sound outside the yard again.
"Oh, please move aside and let me see what happened to Yuanshan." Li's heart-wrenching voice came.
Eunuch Li just arrived at the gate of the courtyard at this time. He did not ask Lin Siqing and the others to come to receive the imperial edict, but directly opened the imperial edict and read: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:
Shang Yuanshan, although he has fought bravely on the battlefields and made many military achievements, his actions this time have inadvertently offended the majesty of heaven. I am mindful of his past merits and do not want to punish him severely, but the law of the country cannot be taken lightly, so I will fine him one year's salary as a warning.
He was ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for two months, cultivate his character, and reflect on his actions. During this period, the door to his house was locked, and no one except his wife and children was allowed to enter or leave without permission.
I have specially sent the Imperial Guards to guard the palace to ensure peace and security, and to show my majesty. Shang Yuanshan should take this as a lesson and act prudently in the future to be loyal to the court and live up to my expectations.
So decreed! "
Li originally pretended to come and watch the fun, but after hearing the contents of the imperial edict, she staggered and almost fell.
Shang Yuanshan actually angered the emperor and was fined one year's salary. When Old Lady Shang heard this, she really wanted to go in and beat Shang Yuanshan up.
Li said with a face full of grievance: "Eunuch Li,..."
"Madam Shang, there is no need to beg for mercy. The emperor's anger is not something you and I can control."
Old Mrs. Shang's words were choked back. She didn't want to beg for mercy. She just wanted to ask if it was possible to collect this month's salary.
She had just spent a lot of money to pay out 12,000 taels of gold. Without Shang Yuanshan's salary, she would have to live off her savings.
Eunuch Li didn't want to talk to Li anymore. He looked at Doctor Wang. "Doctor Wang, please go in and check the general's health. I'll wait here for you to go back to the palace and report."
"Okay." Doctor Wang trotted into the yard.
Lin Siqing in the house had already heard the noise from the yard. Tears instantly fell from her eyes and she walked forward to open the door sadly.
"Doctor Wang, please help the general take a look at him."
"Don't worry, Madam General. General Shang is in good health and nothing serious will happen. Let me check General Shang's pulse first."
Doctor Wang first noticed Prime Minister Lin and Duke Shang standing nearby, and was about to step forward to pay his respects.
But when he saw Shang Yuanshan sitting beside the bed out of the corner of his eye, he was so scared that he forgot to salute.
"Ah, General Shang..."
Shang Qing'an quickly stepped forward and covered Doctor Wang's mouth, and at this time everyone outside heard Doctor Wang's exclamation.
Li's eyes widened. If Shang Yuanshan died, Lin Siqing, an orphan and a widow, would have to take care of her.
"Oh my son~"
