"Your Majesty, I... don't recognize you." Shen Li replied in a calm tone.
'Bang'
An inkstone fell down.
Shen Li's forehead was instantly broken, and bright red blood flowed down his eyebrows.
"I'll ask you again, do you really not recognize me?" Emperor Wenyuan stared at Shen Li with a gloomy voice.
Shen Li's heart trembled like a drum, but he still replied resolutely: "Your Majesty, I really don't recognize you."
"good!"
Emperor Wenyuan sneered: "Come here, drag him away and chop him off."
"His Majesty!"
Chen Li folded his hands on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty, please give me a chance to atone for my sins."
"Don't you recognize me?"
"I really don't recognize him. Your Majesty, please understand."
"My grandmother is very old. After learning that her private vault had been robbed, she panicked and told me about the hidden forbidden items. She also told me that if the forbidden items were exposed, it would lead to the extermination of the clan."
"After I realized the seriousness of this matter, I went to ask Madam Yang for help. I originally wanted to ask the Yang family to take the box containing the forbidden items back to the government office and destroy it first, but that night an assassination attempt occurred."
"Your Majesty, although I have just returned to the capital, I guessed the seriousness of this matter when I learned that an assassin had assassinated the prefect. Although I don't know who wanted to target the Shen family, it is a fact that my grandmother secretly hid the forbidden items."
This was a particularly interesting statement. He first mentioned Madam Yang, then turned to the assassin, and finally said that someone was deliberately targeting his Shen family.
"I know I am guilty of a capital crime and cannot escape death!"
"But your Majesty!"
Chen Li raised his head, half of his face stained red with blood, and looked at Emperor Wenyuan: "My grandfather once said that Your Majesty is a wise and enlightened ruler, a wise ruler that scholars all over the world support."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins and spare my grandmother and our Shen family."
Emperor Wenyuan sat high on the dragon throne, looking disdainfully at Shen Li who dared to raise his eyes and look him in the eye.
Those eyes look very much like Elder Shen.
Back then, Lord Shen was also like this, among the trembling officials, he looked him in the eye without fear of touching his reverse scale, and finally ran into a wall and died in front of him.
This Shen Li has some of the character of the Shen family.
Emperor Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a long while before he sneered majestically, "You do have some of your grandfather's character. I'll give you a chance. Tell me how you want to atone for your sins!"
Shen Li had made preparations early.
He pulled out a piece of iron scroll from under his sleeve and raised his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the red seal and iron certificate bestowed by the First Emperor on the Shen family. I present it to you today and beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to be the blade in your hands..."
The red-lettered iron certificate was a gift from the founding emperor, Qin Shi Huang.
There are not many people like him in the entire Mo Dynasty.
The Shen family is one of them.
When the Shen family suffered disaster, the red seal and iron certificate were not used.
Now... Shen Li offered it.
Emperor Wen Yuan looked at Shen Li, who was crawling on the ground, with a cunning look in his eyes. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, since you want to be the blade in my hand, then I will give you this opportunity..."
…
"Madam, the master is back."
"He was also given an official title..." Dong Shuang hurried into the house to report with an unexpected look on his face.
Yang Zhao paused as he turned the pages of the book: "A position of honor?"
"Yes, just now, the master was personally brought back by the eunuch. From that eunuch, I learned that the master was granted an official position by His Majesty. He is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department."
Yang Zhao's hand holding the book suddenly clenched: "How could it be! Did you hear it clearly?"
