Chapter 24 If you hit me again, my legs will break
"Shen Bailin, you brought a group of people to break into my Yongyi Marquis's mansion, distorting right and wrong and slandering my husband," Qin Yunshuang's eyes were full of coldness, "If they find that my family has no evidence of treason, you dare to slander the loyal officials of the court, do you know what crime you are committing?"
Shen Bailin thought they were just trying to scare him. He sneered, "Whatever the crime is, I will take it all on myself! Treason is a serious crime, and we would rather kill the wrong person than let him go! Come on, search!"
Soon, a group of people rushed into the mansion.
"Every plant and tree in our mansion is expensive. A vase costs at least five thousand taels. You can search, but be careful. If you damage anything in our house, you will have to pay for it!" At this time, Shen Sikai walked over here.
Everyone knows that Shen Sikai is good at business. The Shen family has been so extravagant in recent years because of the wealth earned by Shen Sikai from doing business abroad.
Therefore, the people who were searching did not dare to damage anything in the house, and they all headed straight into the study.
Shen Bailin was sitting on the horse in armor, pulling the reins, his eyes full of greed.
Shen Zongguang has a son who can make money. When he inherits the title, he will be the owner of this marquisate.
So much money and jewelry, this immense wealth, all fell into the hands of Shen Bailin!
Since childhood, he has been a bastard's son and always ranked behind Shen Zongguang. But now, he finally found an opportunity to suppress Shen Zongguang!
From now on, he is the master of the entire Marquis' Mansion!
Who is Shen Zongguang? !
Soon, the people Shen Bailin sent to search came back.
"Hand over the evidence of Shen Zongguang's treason." Shen Bailin sat on the horse with a stern look on his face.
He could already imagine how powerful he would be when he became the prince of the Yongyi Marquisate. He would trample everyone under his feet, and he would even strip Shen Zongguang naked and parade him through the streets as an example to the public.
His son and his wife must not be spared either!
The subordinate handed over a piece of paper, but Shen Bailin didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Eunuch Liu beside him.
Eunuch Liu is the emperor's confidant and one of the people sent by the emperor.
"Look, eunuch, this is the evidence of Shen Zongguang's crime. It is as solid as a mountain! Please report it to His Majesty..."
But Eunuch Liu looked unhappy. "Is this the evidence you mentioned?"
He picked up the letter and threw it in front of Shen Bailin.
The smile on Shen Bailin's face froze, and he was even more incredulous when he saw the content of the letter.
"How...how is this possible?!"
How could this be a secret letter of treason? It was clearly a poem praising the emperor's great plan, his political achievements, and praying for his safety, health, speedy recovery, and longevity!
As everyone knows, the Emperor of Da Sheng has been bedridden in recent years, and the imperial doctors are helpless. Many people have predicted that the Emperor will die soon.
The Empress governed the country from behind the curtain, the couple were of one mind, and with the little prince, the kingdom of Da Sheng remained unshakable.
Therefore, the emperor was always worried that someone would take advantage of his illness to rebel.
But every word in this article shows the poet's loyalty to the emperor, his concern for the emperor's health, and his best wishes for the emperor.
"How can this person be called a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and commits treason? The Marquis is clearly a loyal minister who is loyal to the Emperor and to Da Sheng!" Eunuch Liu frowned, his sharp voice full of coldness.
"This... this must be a mistake! Have you checked carefully?!" Shen Bailin was furious and loudly reprimanded the servants who were searching.
"We have checked carefully and there is nothing else." The leading Yu Linjun was a little dissatisfied.
Before they came, Lord Shen had instructed that the evidence of the crime was hidden in the study. They searched everywhere inside and outside the study, but only found this.
At that time it was hidden in some poems, and it was hidden quite secretly, so they had no choice but to pass it on.
"Shen Bailin, you have committed treason and slandered me. What crime should you be punished for?" Shen Zongguang's face turned ashen and he was furious.
"This..." Shen Bailin began to panic.
How could this happen?
Is it that Miaomiao is not doing his job well?
She had clearly sent him a letter last night informing him that everything was arranged, and he had brought people here before daybreak.
How could this happen?!
"Shen Bailin, are you making fun of me?" Eunuch Liu was very dissatisfied, his face was livid, "It turns out to be a misunderstanding after all this fuss."
"The Za family will definitely report to His Majesty Lord Shen's loyalty to His Majesty."
"No... Eunuch Liu..." Shen Bailin looked flustered and opened his mouth, wanting to say something -
But Eunuch Liu on the side ignored him completely. Instead, he looked at Shen Zongguang, bowed to him, and said respectfully, "Lord Shen, I'm really sorry. We came here without finding out the truth. We are really sorry for disturbing your rest."
"It's okay. Eunuch, you have come from far away, why don't you come to the Marquis' Mansion to have some hot tea and take a rest?" Shen Zongguang said with a smile.
"No," Eunuch Liu smiled reluctantly. How could he have the nerve to drink someone else's tea? "I have to go back and report to the Emperor. I won't bother you anymore. Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu led a group of Yu Lin troops and turned around and left.
"Farewell, Master."
After watching Eunuch Liu and his group leave, only the Shen family and Shen Bailin were left in the yard.
Shen Bailin got off the horse with a flattering smile on his face, "Brother, it was a misunderstanding, it turned out to be a misunderstanding..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Zongguang raised his fist and hit him hard on the bridge of his nose!
Shen Zongguang was a military general when he was young, so his physique was naturally good.
The punch knocked Shen Bailin to the ground, with blood flowing from his nose.
"I heard the news that you were communicating with the enemy country, which was a misunderstanding...Brother, please show mercy, please show mercy..." Shen Bailin lay on the ground and wailed.
But Shen Zongguang didn't give him a chance to speak. He pressed on him and punched him hard.
Shen Sikai was so angry that he rushed over and beat Shen Bailin up.
"Stop hitting me... We are all family, let's talk it out nicely..." Shen Bailin wailed, holding his head.
"You still know that we are a family!" Shen Zongguang roared with bloodshot eyes, "Why didn't you think of us as a family when you led people to search the mansion?"
"Shen Bailin! I treat you as my own brother, but you want to kill our whole family!" Shen Zongguang was not satisfied with beating him, so he took a stick from the servant and hit Shen Bailin hard, "What are you thinking?"
A stick hit him hard, and the sound of bones cracking was heard.
Shen Bailin wailed in pain, "It hurts... it hurts... it's a misunderstanding... stop hitting me..."
His legs hurt so much. If he keeps getting beaten like this, they'll break!
"Misunderstanding... This is all a misunderstanding!" Shen Bailin wailed, howling like a pig being slaughtered.
At this moment, Miaomiao, who was tied up, was pulled out.
"Shen Bailin, do you know her?" Shen Zongguang sneered.
The moment he saw Miaomiao, Shen Bailin's face turned pale!
