478: The Sin of Punishing Nine Clans

Marquis Zhongyi was also standing next to Ye Wenru, so he naturally heard the whole story and was extremely angry. How could such a wicked person exist under the emperor's feet, daring to arrest people so close to his mansion, and the group of people were riding in the carriage of an important official of the court. This was simply too lawless!

As soon as Ye Wenru opened his mouth, Marquis Zhongyi ordered someone to call for the family soldiers in the mansion.

Mu Chengzhi also stood up at this time and said, "This incident happened to the Shen family after they left our mansion, so we should do our best to rescue them. Dad, I will lead the people there myself!"

Mu Yongnian nodded. He also knew that the Shen family couple had just entered the palace twice before. Once they "cured" the second prince, and once they diagnosed the empress's pregnancy. Although they were just country folk, they were definitely highly valued by the emperor. Now something happened as soon as they left his house. Even if it didn't happen in his house, he couldn't explain it. So it would be best for them to rescue the people. His son was a general, so he should go and rescue them.

"Chengzhi, you must rescue Madam Shen safely, and have someone report back as soon as possible after rescuing her."

"yes!"

Mu Chengzhi bowed and accepted the order, then left in a hurry.

Meng Jinliang also came over at this time, and saw Mu Chengzhi hurried away with a gloomy face, not even bothering to talk to him. He thought something had happened. When he saw Yueyue and Xing'er, both of them had tears on their faces, and the maids and servants beside them were also anxious and afraid. His heart sank, thinking that something had happened to the Shen couple!

Mu Weizhi stood beside Meng Jinliang. Seeing all this, she knew that the matter had been accomplished. She was delighted, but then she became anxious. She thought that her elder brother had just left in such a hurry after finding the Marquis' Mansion. Should he bring people to rescue the village woman? Wouldn't he see the village woman's face? How hateful! He actually ran back to ask his family for help! The elder brother was the same. A dignified little marquis and a great general would actually run around for a village woman. Was he too idle because he was full? !

Mu Weizhi glanced at Aunt Liu beside her father. She saw that Aunt Liu was accompanying Madam Ye to help coax Yueyue and Xing'er. Her brows were wrinkled, but she was calm. She calmed herself down. She just hoped that the person who took Madam Shen away would run away quickly, and not let her eldest brother find Madam Shen himself. In this way, even if the person was rescued, he would leave Beijing in a hurry because of fear. As long as she left the capital, everything would be fine!

Meng Jinliang was also very worried when he heard the whole story. Su Zhi was a woman he admired very much, and she looked a bit like his deceased fiancée, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to her. He was worried about a weak woman who was pregnant and was captured by criminals. He didn't know what kind of torture she would suffer, so he felt nervous.

"Uncle Mu, I'll take some people to look for him too! Do the Marquis' Mansion have enough people? We can also mobilize people from the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

"Uncle, please send someone to rescue Mom! And Xiaori. They've all been taken away!"

Yueyue's face was red from crying at this time. When she heard what Meng Jinliang said, she spoke immediately. In her opinion, Meng Jinliang was someone she knew and could help her save her mother and Xiaori.

Xing'er also begged at the side. He was very anxious now. His mother came to the capital for him, and that's why she encountered such a thing. He felt very sad.

Meng Jinliang looked at Mu Yongnian, who nodded. Mu Yongnian thought that the thief was so bold. He dared to arrest people in the street, and most of them had a plan. He didn't know if there were many people, and he didn't know how difficult it would be to catch him. It was better to find more people than fewer.

Meng Jinliang turned around and walked away. Not long after he walked out, he heard chaotic footsteps coming from the front. He looked up and saw that it was Eunuch Shen. He wondered why Eunuch Shen was here. He was now the personal eunuch chief steward of his sister. He rarely left the palace. Why was he here in the middle of the night? And he looked so hurried. Did something happen? !

Eunuch Shen also saw Meng Jinliang and bowed to him.

"Manager Shen, you are in such a hurry to come to the Chrysanthemum Garden. Is there something important?"

Meng Jinliang asked. He was mainly worried about his sister. His sister had just gotten pregnant and was in the unstable months. He and his parents were extremely worried. He thought that he was most likely here to find him. But what Eunuch Shen said was not about him, but about the people he was looking for, namely Madam Shen and Xiaori.

"Uncle, I came from Prime Minister Ye's residence to look for the adoptive parents of the young master of the Ye family. But when I got there, the servants of the Ye family said that the Shen family couple brought their children to the Chrysanthemum Garden with Prime Minister Ye and his wife. I hurried here again. Uncle, have you seen the couple? And the handsome young master named Xiaori! Are they all here?"

Eunuch Shen asked anxiously. He was very anxious all the way here. The weather was already cold, but he was actually sweating, which was clearly visible under the light of the lantern.

Meng Jinliang raised his eyebrows, thinking that they were looking for the Shen family and even asked Xiaori, what was going on? But he didn't have time to ask, because that family was in great trouble! He thought that it was just right that Eunuch Shen came now, so he could allocate more manpower to look for Madam Shen and Xiaori, a pregnant woman and a baby. The sooner they were found, the better. Time was more precious than gold now!

"Butler Shen, the Shen family and their children left half an hour ago. They met some bad guys on the road and stole a carriage. Madam Shen and Xiaori were in the carriage. The people from the Marquis' Mansion have already sent people to rescue them. I am also going to find someone to rescue them! You should go back to the palace quickly and tell the emperor about this and send someone to rescue them! Don't tell the queen about this!"

"What?! Madam Shen and Master Xiaori were both captured by criminals?!"

When Eunuch Shen heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He was shocked and angry, and as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he wanted to spin around in a panic.

"What's going on?! What's going on?! What a bold thief! He doesn't want his head anymore! This is a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his clan!"

Eunuch Shen's voice was not as sharp as that of other eunuchs, but his roar was still extremely shrill and very penetrating to the ear.

Meng Jinliang was very confused after hearing this. He thought that it was a crime for the criminal to arrest people in the street, and it was even more serious when the person arrested was someone who was highly valued by the emperor and the empress. But it shouldn't make Eunuch Shen so panicked and angry, right? He also said that this was a serious crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of the family? Even if a civilian killed an official, it wouldn't be punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of the family, right? He just arrested a woman and a child, which was not even punishable by death, so how could it be punished by the extermination of all nine generations of the family?

Meng Jinliang asked the question as he thought about it. He had a feeling that something big had happened that he didn't know about. Maybe the Shen family was more important than he thought? Could it be that something happened between the Emperor and his sister? ! Meng Jinliang thought that Madam Shen seemed to be able to treat illnesses, and his sister was pregnant. Could it be that the matter that made Eunuch Shen so anxious was related to his sister? ! Meng Jinliang's conscience was suddenly raised, and he asked the question without caring where he was.

Eunuch Shen was shocked and realized that he had said something wrong. He said to Meng Jinliang, "Uncle, this is a long story and it is not appropriate to talk about it here. The emperor has ordered that no one else should know about it! Let's rescue Madam Shen and Master Xiaori first! What should we do? If the emperor knew about this, he would be furious! Uncle, please do your best to find them first. I will go back to the palace and call for soldiers to rescue them!"

Eunuch Shen turned around and started to run away, running very fast. Despite his age, he almost fell down. He was supported by the young eunuch who followed behind him, and then he ran away in a hurry again.

Meng Jinliang felt that something was wrong when he saw it, but since Eunuch Shen didn't say anything, he didn't ask. He just wanted to find Madam Shen and Xiaori as soon as possible!

The place where Eunuch Shen and Meng Jinliang were talking was not far from the Marquis of Loyalty and his men. When they saw Eunuch Shen coming, they naturally walked a few steps forward and heard what Eunuch Shen said. They saw that Eunuch Shen didn't even say hello to them because of Madam Shen and Xiaori's matter, and just turned around and ran away. They also felt that the emperor had something important to discuss with the Shen couple, but the Shen family was attacked at this time, and Madam Shen and Xiaori were captured. This time it really became a big deal!

Marquis Zhongyi immediately ordered his followers to send out all the people in the family who could be sent out, and then he turned around and left in a hurry. There were many officials who came to his place today, and he wanted them to help rescue people as well!

Ye Wenru frowned and discussed with Mrs. Ye. They decided to take the two children home. There were still some servants at home, so at least Ye Wenru could take them to look for it. It was also anxious to wait here. The couple said something to Aunt Liu, asking her to go to Mu Yongnian, and then left in a hurry with their family and servants.

"Mother, what should we do? Why would the Emperor come to look for someone from the Shen family at this time?!"

Mu Weizhi said anxiously that she originally thought this was just a small matter and could be easily done, but she didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that the Shen family came to the palace to invite them. This made things a big deal!

Aunt Liu was also shaking in her heart and her face was twitching. She thought that if the emperor sent someone, they might be able to find out about it, and that would be troublesome!

"What can we do? Just leave it to fate! I hope those people you are looking for don't have any clues about us and don't find out about us!"

"Of course not. I asked housekeeper Liu to go there. He said he didn't let anyone see his face! It will be fine. He is very careful in his work!"

Mu Weizhi said quickly, this was also to comfort herself.

Aunt Liu nodded. Manager Liu was a servant she brought from her mother's home. He was loyal, reliable, and cautious. He could be trusted and would not make mistakes in what he did.

I'm covering my face. I'm updating once today. I originally wanted to update twice, but after thinking about it, I decided to finish the stepdaughter book as soon as possible, so that I can update more steadily. Once the book is finished, the updates will become more stable. Please forgive me, dears.
