Chapter 108 Let Shen Qingyuan send off his young son!
Even Shen Yushu, a veteran general, couldn't help but shed tears when he saw these corpses.
The soldiers' deaths on the battlefield may have been tragic, but they died for a good cause.
But what about these people?
They were just unarmed civilians, and there were even many children among them. How heartless could someone be to kill them?
Shen Chaoyan only took a glance, then reluctantly turned his face to the night sky in the distance, "It's a pity that the village was burned and the evidence was destroyed. We have no way to bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice."
"That may not be the case."
Shen Yushu glanced at Shen Chaoyan, "Those secret sentries who were poisoned by the incense and the maids who abused the children were caught
. As long as we pry open their mouths, we can always ask some useful information!" Since Qi Yingmo has appeared here, the massacre of the village and the kidnapping of children are inseparable from Sikong Yu.
When Qi Yingmo was at the border, he mentioned Sikong Yu intentionally or unintentionally when chatting with him. At that time, he also felt that the third prince who was ignored by the previous emperor had extraordinary qualities.
Now it seems that every time Qi Yingmo inadvertently mentions the third prince, he is brainwashing him and wants to pull him into King Jing's camp.
When brainwashing failed, Qi Yingmo had murderous intentions towards him, and tampered with the grain and grass in order to frame him.
At that time, if the emperor had not sent a secret letter in advance to inform him, he would have been beheaded long ago.
Thinking of the fact that Qi Yingmo actually used the lives of so many innocent people to pave the way for Sikong Yu, Shen Yushu couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Shen Chaoyan met Shen Yushu's heavy eyes and nodded, "Brother is right! Even if we can't catch the real mastermind, we must catch his accomplices and cut off his left and right arms!"
After all, in the original comic book, most of the court was the male protagonist's people, and they had a long way to go.
However, she firmly believed that those who lose their way will have few supporters.
Sikong Yu has done many unjust things, and his retribution is still to come!
After the officers brought by Shen Qingyuan found Duke Zheng in the house, Duke Zheng cursed at them.
Unfortunately, these officers did not recognize his old face at all, and dragged the man out of the house in a wheelchair.
After they counted the abducted children, there were more than ninety in total.
Many of the earliest abducted children unfortunately died in the process of domestication.
And many of the children who survived had been mentally and physically abused for a long time, and their whole bodies became numb.
They stood together with dull eyes and hunched shoulders, looking at the officers with fear and panic.
As if they were devils that would eat children.
Shen Linfeng looked at these children and couldn't help being moved. "They are so scared here that they have lost their souls. If their parents saw it, they would be so distressed."
Shen Chaoyan sighed softly, "An unfortunate childhood needs a lifetime to heal. I hope they will just think it was a nightmare when they go back and forget everything that happened in Moxiang Village."
Sikong Yu used children to entangle important officials of the court. He hoped that those ministers with beastly hearts would perish here, and at the same time, he would use everything here as a handle to control the ministers.
It is a great irony that such a village immersed in his selfish desires is called "Moxiang Village"!
Qi Yingmo's burning of evidence is hateful, but what was also burned was the handle left by Sikong Yu in his attempt to control the ministers for his own use.
Now that there is nothing left, those ministers who were forced to take sides no longer belong to Sikong Yu's camp.
It was almost dawn when Shen Qingyuan led everyone away from Moxiang Village.
They took a carriage on the way back.
The three brothers and sisters of the Shen family rode in a carriage.
In the carriage, Shen Yushu looked at the two yawning people and asked curiously, "Yan'er, how did you know that Qi Yingmo was in Moxiang Village?"
The situation was urgent just now, and he didn't think much about it. Now that the children have been saved, he thinks it's strange.
Why can his sister not only know the location of the secret sentry accurately, but also know Qi Yingmo's whereabouts.
Shen Chaoyan's eyes flickered, and she said vaguely, "The emperor sent people to inquire in advance, and he knows everything about Moxiang Village! The map and defense map of Moxiang Village were given to me by the emperor! As for Qi Yingmo, the emperor has long known that he is the third prince's man."
At this point, she was worried that Shen Yushu would ask questions, so she yawned, "Brother, I'm so sleepy, I'll take a nap first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."
When the carriage stopped at the gate of Shen's house, it was already dawn.
The child and the people arrested by Moxiang Village were sent to the Ministry of Justice.
After Shen Chaoyan got off the carriage, he saw that Shen Qingyuan was going to go directly to the Ministry of Justice, and immediately said to him, "Dad, when you go to the Ministry of Justice, look for the children. There is a girl named Xiaoyueer among them. She is Sister Youran's cousin. Remember to send her to General Xue's residence."
Shen Qingyuan responded, "Father knows, you should go back and rest."
"Okay, I'll go back and take a nap." Shen Chaoyan waved to them, yawning and walking towards the mansion.
"Sister, wait for me." Shen Linfeng jumped off the carriage and strode after him.
In front of the Shen Mansion, only Shen Qingyuan and Shen Yushu were left.
Shen Yushu just heard Shen Chaoyan mention the Xue Mansion, his eyes moved slightly, "Dad, I'm going to the East Camp later, I'll send Xiaoyue'er to General Xue's Mansion on the way."
"Okay, then you come with me to the Ministry of Justice first."
The prisoners need to be tried, and the children have to be sent back one by one. This is not an easy task.
Since the eldest son is on the way, he can save some trouble.
As for Shen Chaoyan and Shen Linfeng, after they returned, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
Jingwang Mansion, study.
After Qi Yingmo set fire to several courtyards last night, he left Moxiang Village and rode as fast as he could to report to Sikong Yu what happened last night.
"There are so many of them. I don't have time to take all the stuff away. I have no choice but to burn it."
"Burn it? What a good way to burn it!"
Sikong Yu's face became more and more ugly. He sneered, swung his arm violently, and swept away all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. "Do you know how much effort I have put into Moxiang Village? I have been planning for many years, but in the end, it was all in vain! It's ridiculous! Now not only Moxiang Village has been investigated, Duke Zheng has been arrested, and even those secret sentries have been wiped out by the Ministry of Justice!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Qi Yingmo looked at Sikong Yu's furious expression and replied, "Last night, the father and son of the Shen family sneaked into Moxiang Village and drugged us. If I hadn't gotten up at night, I would have been fooled by them. I'm afraid I would be in the prison of the Ministry of Justice now."
"The Shen family? The Shen family again!"
Sikong Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold murderous aura emanating from his eyes, "Last time at the border, I failed to kill Shen Yushu. This time, I must find a way to make Shen Qingyuan send his son away!"
