In a small alley in the capital, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the entrance.
The woman who got off the car was covered with a cloak and hurried inside.
This is Lady Ren. She left Tongzhou without permission and came to the capital. If she was caught by someone with ulterior motives, she would probably be sent directly to prison. So she was very cautious and booked a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city. She planned to find out about Ren Hailan first and then make her next plan.
She looked behind her as she walked, and was relieved when she saw that no one noticed her.
However, as soon as she turned the corner of the alley, she suddenly ran into the Minister of Revenue.
The other party brought seven or eight people with them and surrounded her.
The Minister of Revenue came forward and said with a forced smile, "Sir Ren, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here."
At this time, Lady Ren also calmed down from her initial panic. She realized that her every move was under the surveillance of the Minister of Revenue, so much so that she was caught red-handed by the Minister of Revenue as soon as she arrived in the capital.
She pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't expect to meet the Minister here. I have to say, the Minister is really observant and attentive. No matter what happens, you can't hide it from your ears."
“No, no.”
Although the Minister of Revenue was smiling, Lady Ren did not let her guard down. She was on guard, looking for an opportunity to escape.
However, the Minister of Revenue had already discovered her intention. She stood in the only gap and said, "Since it is such a coincidence, why don't you come to my house and let me show my hospitality."
"I have something important to do today, so I'm sorry I can't follow your instructions. I won't chat with you any longer."
After saying this, Lord Ren wanted to leave by force.
But no matter which direction she went, someone would immediately block her way, and it was obvious that she couldn't go any further.
Lord Ren's face turned cold when he saw this. "What do you mean, Lord Minister?"
"Since Lord Ren has asked, I will speak frankly. I have almost collected all the evidence against your daughter, not just her, but you as well. Over the years, you have seized fertile land, oppressed the people, and even resorted to deceiving the court by using a locust plague. These actions are enough to confiscate your property and exile you, Lord Ren."
"you!"
Ren sir couldn't believe it, "Sir, you told me to do all this, how come..."
"Sir Ren, you must provide evidence when speaking. If you honestly confess your guilt, I can help you plead with His Majesty to spare your children. But if you persist and continue to frame others, don't blame me."
“…”
Lady Ren finally understood that the old thief wanted her to admit all her guilt. She gritted her teeth and said, "How do you know? I will definitely admit my guilt."
The Minister of Revenue was confident and said, "Don't worry. After Lord Ren is released from prison, we will have a long time to consider."
"take away."
"Let me go! Let me go!"
-
June is a rainy month. It may be sunny in the morning but it may start to rain in the afternoon.
After lunch, Su Man took a nap alone in the Qinzheng Hall. Although she was lying on the bed, she was not sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with the sentence she had translated.
"You actually sent a bastard here. Don't forget, without me, the plan can't go ahead. Don't force me to perish with you."
Bastard...
It seems that Zi Yi's background is not simple. Considering their similar faces, there seems to be a secret behind it. We must make good use of it.
As for the sentence "Without me, the plan cannot proceed", could it be that Di Zixiao is hiding some useful bargaining chips?
The sound of the rain is soothing and lulling people to sleep.
Suddenly, Su Man heard voices outside the door.
It turned out to be Yu Guijun's personal palace maid who came to say that Yu Guijun was not feeling well and asked Su Man to go over and take a look.
Su Man narrowed her eyes. This Yu Guijun used to be the most easygoing person and seldom used such crude means to win favor. Now he did not hesitate to send someone over during her nap time. She must have something important to tell her.
Sure enough, when Su Man arrived at Xiangyang Palace, Ren Yu was pacing inside. When he saw Su Man, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please have mercy and save Yu'er's mother."
Su Man rarely saw Ren Yu so flustered. She helped him up and soothed him, "Don't worry, we can talk slowly if you have anything to say."
All the palace servants in the room were sent out by Ren Yu, so Su Man poured him a cup of tea personally.
The warm teacup warmed his trembling fingertips. After a moment, he put the teacup on the table, got down from the chair, and knelt down in front of Suman.
"Your Majesty, Ren Yu is guilty."
Su Man used the lid of the teacup to skim off the foam on the water and said calmly, "Yu'er is a kind person with good character and good manners. What crime has she committed?"
"I protected my mother's family. I knew my mother had entered the capital without an imperial edict, but I helped her conceal it..."
Speaking of this, Ren Yu's eyes flashed with a very difficult to understand emotion, both sad and helpless.
He paused and continued, "I am willing to accept any punishment, but my mother is now imprisoned and her life is uncertain. Your Majesty, please consider that Yu'er has been in the palace for many years and save her."
Su Man didn't answer immediately. She looked at Ren Yu quietly, "Even if I rescue her, based on what she did in the past, she will still be sent back."
"Your Majesty..."
Ren Yu then realized that Su Man knew everything. In an instant, all her strength seemed to be drained away.
Over the years, his mother had been obsessed with power and greed. Now that the truth had been revealed, there was no way to let it go peacefully.
Just when he was feeling discouraged, Su Man suddenly said, "However, if your mother can stop and admit her crime and identify the mastermind behind it, I can give her a lighter sentence."
