Zhang Jinnian was stunned for a moment before pointing at the Shen family and said seriously, "It's their family. I was about to report this to the court, but I didn't expect their family to be implicated by their relatives."
Li Xiang was surprised: "What? How could it be them?"
It was not Li Xiang's turn to escort the prisoners this time, but since they were relatives of the Shen family, just two people could be sent.
I heard that the north was short of water and food, and it was extremely hot, but the situation in the southwest Shu was just the opposite. It was raining heavily and floods were frequent.
The road from northwest to southwest is extremely dangerous.
The people above him kept making excuses and Li Xiang had neither a visible backer nor financial support, so he was forced to be the scapegoat.
When Li Xiang heard that the secret channel was invented by the Shen family, he couldn't believe it for a moment.
I was wondering in my heart, can they turn things around?
Zhang Jinnian carefully observed the expression of the bailiff in front of him, trying to analyze some information, but saw that the other party's expression remained the same.
Similarly, Li Xiang was also pondering the meaning of Zhang Jinnian's words.
"Report to the court." It seems that the county magistrate wants to make a decision for the Shen family.
However, the water in the capital is too deep now.
When the news reached the capital, it was a blessing or a curse for the Shen family.
Li Xiang obviously believed more in the latter.
After all, not long after leaving the capital, he heard that the entire Shen family had died in prison.
Li Xiang didn't have much interaction with the former Minister of Revenue.
But Li Xiang's brother-in-law knew his eldest wife, a woman with a kind face.
The brother-in-law was bullied by a ruffian while selling fruits and vegetables. The woman happened to see it and stood up for her brother-in-law.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was beaten with bruises all over his body, the woman sighed frequently, "Oh my God, such a pitiful child, such a young child is so pitiful."
Finally, before leaving, the woman gave her brother-in-law ten taels of silver and asked him to go back and take a good look at his injuries.
The brother-in-law didn't know the other party's identity at first, but not long after, he heard that the entire Shangshu Mansion was imprisoned.
When the brother-in-law was selling fruits and vegetables and passed by the Shangshu Mansion which had been confiscated, he found out about it and came to Li Xiang's house to drink in a depressed mood.
I accidentally mentioned this matter and said, "Good people don't have good lives!"
Afterwards, the imperial edict to escort the Shen family members into exile fell into Li Xiang's hands.
Although he wanted to defend the family.
But I also know the principle of an ant trying to shake a tree.
It is obvious that there are people in the capital who do not wish the Shen family well.
Therefore, it is better not to send this news to the capital for now! Li Xiang immediately made a judgment on the method of this secret channel!
For the Shen family, no matter what crimes they committed, at least because of the ten taels of silver, the mother-in-law's health has indeed improved.
So, although his face remained stern, deep down, Li Xiang felt sympathy for the Shen clan members before him. He softened his expression and said, "Pack up, go and register for exile, and go to the southwest Shu to answer for your crimes!"
***
In the capital, the rear residence of Prince Rui’s mansion.
"Are you ready?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman turned her back to the moonlight and asked the person behind her.
The man in black bowed and replied cautiously, "Master, don't worry, that brat will definitely not escape."
"good!"
A hint of smugness flashed across the corner of the middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes, but it was obscured by the moonlight. However, she suddenly grinned and said, "Hahaha! Xu Xinrou, you didn't expect that you would die early, and now, your useless son will also die with you.
Humph! What a prince! Bullshit! He's about to become a ghost!
The throne of the crown prince originally belongs to my son, and this world also belongs to my son!
I will take back everything you took from me!"
The beautiful woman spoke each word between her teeth!
It was as if the hatred that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time was perfectly released at this moment.
After the woman finished venting her anger, the man in black seemed a little hesitant and said, "Master... let's do this... Your Highness..."
"You mean the prince will notice?"
The beautiful woman snorted coldly, "Don't worry! The prince is busy with court affairs right now, so he doesn't have time to care about this kind of thing!"
"Yes! I worried too much!"
***
Outside Jianing Pass.
After dodging layers of pursuit, Xu Huai looked at the young man in front of him.
At the age of eleven, his face was as white as jade, but his expression was wooden, like a puppet. If you look closely at his eyes, you can see that his pupils cannot focus.
He is blind.
The young man was none other than Jiang Yu, the prince of Rui.
Although he had the title of the crown prince, he no longer had a place in the palace since he suddenly became blind due to an eye disease at the age of three and King Rui invited many famous doctors but none of them could cure him.
The previous princess died early. Although he was loved by Prince Rui and the next princess, any discerning person could detect clues from Prince Rui's actions.
The third young master, born to the princess consort, is only one year younger than the crown prince, but is exceptionally intelligent. Prince Rui specially invites famous teachers for him and occasionally tutors him personally.
The lord was young, and King Rui controlled the government.
From being forced to support his nephew to take the throne in the beginning to being able to do it with ease now, Prince Rui has gradually developed a feeling of looking down on the world.
This country will always belong to their Jiang family.
When he wants it depends on his mood.
But the arrogant King Rui also had a hidden pain. The lover he admired in his youth gave birth to a son for him, but she died early.
King Rui's melancholy only grew every time he looked at his son.
Therefore, the father and son rarely interacted with each other, and the prince was usually taken care of by Xu Huai, the former princess's secret guard.
For so many years, he has been sending people to search for the ghost doctor in secret. Although he found some traces, he just couldn't see the person.
