Since Shen Hezhi is still useful, let him stay for now. There are many ways to deal with him, so there is no need to rush.
"Master Governor, Madam is right. Shen Hong's fault cannot be blamed on Shen He. Why don't we help Madam Sheng."
Jiang Yubai could hear what she meant. Shen Hong was able to acquire such a large sum of money in private not only because of Prince Rui, but also because his wife was Sheng Yuan, a famous merchant family in Suzhou, Jiangnan.
When she married Shen Hong, Shen Hong was not the Minister of Household Affairs. It was Sheng Yuan who used her dowry to help Shen Hong. Shen Hong was able to cooperate with King Rui later because King Rui fell in love with Sheng behind him. Home.
If Shen Hezhi can be used to draw out Prince Rui's conspiracy and defeat the forces of those aristocratic families one by one, he will not lose a chess piece.
Jiang Yubai frowned slightly when he heard this. If he had wronged her because of himself...
Shen Zhiyi felt guilty. She asked Jiang Yubai to search for Shen Qinghe and mobilize a lot of manpower. Jiang Yubai also arranged accommodation for them and took everything into consideration. If it weren't for Jiang Yubai, she wouldn't have been able to obtain Shen Runxue's head so easily.
It's just to let one person go for the time being. If she can't even wait for this, how can she be the daughter of the Shen family?
Mrs. Sheng had shouldered a lot of burdens for Shen Hong after she had been married into the family for many years. In the end, she did not receive even a single benefit and was even injured. If it were not for Mrs. Sheng, Shen Hong would not be able to sit down so fast even if he turned the capital upside down. The position of the Minister of Uetobe.
Jiang Yubai looked into Shen Zhiyi's eyes and chuckled. He could clearly execute Shen Hezhi directly, but he was willing to make concessions for himself...
It seems that this apprentice is quite fond of others.
"The Governor agrees to cooperate with Madam."
It is much more convenient to start the investigation from the Sheng family, plus Mrs. Sheng's help.
Many families' financial dealings are related to the Sheng family. Even if they have no dealings with the Sheng family, they will still have dealings with Shen Hong. Prince Rui and Shen Hong are not the only ones involved in water transport corruption. There are many families who are profiting from it.
In this world of power struggle, both family and individuals are just pawns on the chessboard. Their fate depends entirely on the strategies and intentions of the chess players, and they must not miss any chess piece.
I originally thought that Shen Hezhi was already a useless chess piece...
The Tangtang Prince of Hengyuan valued the military power and financial resources of the Shen family, and wanted to marry Shen Zhiyi even if he lost face. If Shen Qinghe, Shen Hong, and Shen An hadn't all had some connections, he wouldn't have been able to marry her into the family so easily.
Even if the Holy Emperor decreed that day, he would still have a hundred ways to make Shen Qinghe die unexpectedly on the eve of their marriage.
On the eve of their wedding, Shen Zhiyi specially found himself and strengthened some secret guards in the mansion, just to ensure that Shen Qinghe, the introduction, could smoothly enter the gate of Hengyuan Palace.
If the mutton-fat jade on Mrs. Sheng's wrist was moved slightly, the old scars on her wrist would glow slightly red, which were caused by Shen Hong. These wounds were the same as those on Shen Qingwan's body.
Some of the wounds had scabbed over, leaving only a light yellow scar. Because there were so many wounds on her body, Sheng Yuan was unwilling to take off a single piece of clothing while basking in the bright sun.
...
Xie Yu brought the evidence to stir things up in Prince Hengyuan's palace. Prince Hengyuan was immediately implicated in the conspiracy between Prince Sheng and Zhang because of this new bride. What happened back then was always His Majesty's fault. Shen No matter how powerful Hong is and is associated with treason, he cannot escape the blame.
Everyone in the court who has close contact with Shen Hong is in danger. Jiang Yubai even raided Shen's house. Now the court is in chaos. Some people accuse Jiang Yubai of being abrupt and look for this opportunity to read his book. Not a few, Jiang Aoyuan and Yushi Wang Lingde proposed a thorough investigation of Shen Hong.
Jiang Aoyuan was kicked out from Prince Hengyuan's Mansion. He had never been accustomed to Jiang Yubai's behavior. When he heard the whole incident at the scene, he couldn't help but worry about the Shen family. His biological parents were plotted by the family. No one can stand it.
"Shen Hong is not only related to the conspiracy case that year, but he is also married to the Zhang family who was the mastermind of Prince Sheng and gave birth to the Zhang family's daughter. If everyone ignores the ordinary etiquette like this, wouldn't I, Dongling, be no different from a savage?"
"Master Jiang, can Shen Hong determine my fortune in Dongling? You are too one-sided!"
"What I mean is that this matter needs to be dealt with immediately. Shen Hong, a minister of household affairs, dares to deceive his subordinates like this. How can he not impose punishment?"
"Governor Jiang led the royal guards to raid the Shen Mansion. Why don't you impose punishment?"
If the punishment continues, people will turn into ashes.
...
Emperor Jing held his forehead and listened to the commotion below. Xie Yu sent someone to report the moment he entered the Hengyuan Palace. When the imperial decree passed, he had already pressed Shen Hong in the prison to wait for disposal.
A guard came to report that Shen Hong's legs were weak at that time and he was dragged into the Criminal Division. It is said that Shen Hong's legs were broken on the way and the Seventh Prince personally took custody of him.
"The seventh prince is here to see me."
Xie Yu followed Shen Zhiyi's arrangement and found the most experienced executioners for these people, "Just keep them alive."
Emperor Jing drove these ministers back. Yesterday he went to see the queen, who was still crazy. He asked the Grand Duke to find a few experienced nuns to take care of her, as well as a few smarter girls.
During this period of time in the palace, she didn't get better at all. She only reacted to the news that the princess was getting married far away.
Emperor Jing couldn't sleep when he returned to the palace. He ordered his servants to move the unfinished memorials to the palace. Before he had time to rest in the past few days, he received a bunch of memorials from Prince Shenqi and Jiang Yubai.
Many of the ministers came to him without stopping after coming out of Prince Hengyuan's Mansion.
The sixth prince of Tianshu Kingdom brought many exotic flowers and different species from Tianshu and presented them to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing was very happy when he saw this. He has always been fond of flowers and plants. At this moment, many gardeners were busy in the Imperial Garden. They used various tools to pull out the white camellia flowers originally planted with their roots and threw them aside casually.
Emperor Jing casually tore off the petals of the nearby flowers. There were also flower seeds provided by Tianshu. Originally, Emperor Jing planned to let others enter. After two years of trying, there were no weeds except Tianshu flowers.
There were only a few swaying plants left in the place that was originally full of beauty, and even the white camellias were picked by the gardener in a matter of seconds.
"My son, I bow to my father."
It's not like Emperor Jing hasn't thought about his son in the past few years. He has refused to look at Xie Yu these days since he came back. He has no choice but to think that his son looks so much like her mother, even more similar than Yuan'er.
There is a willow tree at the back of the Imperial Garden, where Emperor Jing and his mother first met. As people left and the tea cooled, the willow tree became more and more depressed.
"With Jiang Yubai's backing, you turned your third brother's marriage upside down. It's best to temper your temper when you come back, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
