"Master Shen, Madam and Miss have brought us."
When Shen Zehai was worried about Shen Yiming being dragged into the water, Zhao Li shouted softly.
Hearing this, Shen Zehai immediately raised his head.
The moment he saw Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao, Shen Zehai's eyes widened.
Nana asked: "Madam, Jiaojiao, why have you become like this?"
In just half a day, the two of them were tortured to the point where they were no longer human beings.
Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao burst into tears when they saw Shen Zehai.
"Wow, oh, daddy, you finally came to pick us up!"
"Master, these people who were stabbed a thousand times almost killed me and Jiaojiao!"
Mother and daughter cried and ran towards Shen Zehai and threw themselves into his arms, crying so hard that they were out of breath.
Shen Zehai looked at Zhao Li questioningly. Before he could speak, Zhao Li smiled apologetically and said, "Master Shen, I'm really sorry. The brothers in the prison used some conventional means to make my wife and young lady suffer." .”
"After all, she is a daughter of an official family. Are you going too far?" Shen Zehai scolded in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Li's expression changed, and he was no longer the cheerful one just now.
He glanced at Shen Zehai and said lukewarmly: "Master Shen, all criminals with serious suspicions should be interrogated using conventional methods. This is a normal thing. Master Shen has been an official for many years, who should be compared?" It’s all clear.”
"Besides, letting you take away my wife and young lady in just half a day is already a small favor for the Shangshu Mansion. Lord Shen, it's better not to push your limits."
When it came to what happened next, no matter what Shen Zehai's reaction was, Zhao Li immediately turned cold and said, "Come, let's see you off!"
"You, you, you, be brave, I am an official of the imperial court, please be polite to me!" Shen Zehai pointed at Zhao Li and shouted.
Zhao Li snorted coldly, "Just because Mr. Shen is an official of the imperial court, I have already seen him off politely."
"Master Shen should know that in this prison, even a first-class prime minister has stayed in it, and the torture instruments have also been used a lot. Why is it that it can't work when it comes to your wife's place?"
"Do I have to give face to the female members of the official family?"
Zhao Li snorted coldly, "I'm so desperate, I don't even have to give Master Shen face."
Shen Zehai's face changed with anger and he turned his eyes around, "Where is Mr. Li, the governor of Kyoto? I want to see Mr. Li and let him teach you, this unruly slave, a lesson!"
"Master Li is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to see guests!" Zhao Li had a tough attitude.
Knowing that he would not get any favors, Shen Zehai stopped pestering him.
Because the most important thing now is to find Shen Yiming.
Recently, he has been worrying about Shen Liuli's affairs, and he has actually ignored Shen Yiming.
It seems that during this period of time, I haven't seen much of this guy.
The more Shen Zehai thought about it, the more panicked he became. Under Zhao Li's cold gaze, he took Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao away.
"Dad, my mother and I have suffered so much, don't you want justice for us?"
When being dragged away, Shen Yuejiao held Shen Zehai's hand, not wanting to leave.
If Shen Zehai hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost been ridden on a wooden donkey in the prison.
Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in prison, Shen Yuejiao gritted her teeth with hatred and wished to tear Zhao Li into pieces.
Shen Zehai also knew that Shen Yuejiao had been wronged, but there were many more important things at the moment than this grievance.
Thinking of this, Shen Zehai persuaded impatiently: "Jiaojiao, daddy knows that you have been wronged, but you can bear with it first, and daddy will definitely seek justice for you in the future!"
"I don't, I'm going to make them pay the price now!"
Shen Yuejiao couldn't hear it, so she threw away Shen Zehai's hand and cried non-stop, vowing to seek justice on the spot.
"Dad, don't you love Jiaojiao anymore? My mother and I were in prison and suffered so much, but you didn't care at all!"
"I don't care. If you don't seek justice for me, I won't go back to the Shen family!"
Zhao Li: "..."
Seeing Shen Yuejiao's desolate appearance, Zhao Li was speechless.
Compared with the future mistress, this woman is simply...
Oh no, he said the wrong thing.
This woman is not qualified to be compared with the future mistress.
Shen Yuejiao cried and fussed regardless, wearing away the last bit of Shen Zehai's patience.
When Shen Yuejiao wanted to continue making trouble, he slapped her away.
"Snapped!"
After the crisp and loud slaps, the surrounding area fell silent instantly.
Zhao Li folded his hands in front of him and watched the excitement with interest.
Shen Yuejiao covered her face in pain and looked at Shen Zehai in disbelief.
It seemed that he couldn't believe that his father, who loved him the most, would slap him in public when he had suffered so much.
"Jiaojiao!"
Zhao Zhulian was startled and rushed forward to push Shen Zehai away.
"Master, why are you beating Jiaojiao? She has already suffered a lot in prison!" Zhao Zhulian stroked Shen Yuejiao's face, "Jiaojiao, are you okay? Your father didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry. Your father is angry."
"You're the one who got used to it!" Shen Zehai was extremely angry, pointing at Zhao Zhulian and yelling: "When the incident in Yunchan Temple got serious, why didn't you send someone to notify me as soon as possible?"
Zhao Zhulian didn't know why and asked doubtfully: "Sir, what are you talking about? I obviously sent someone to inform you."
"It's because you didn't come here for a long time that we were captured by the people of Kyoto Prefecture!" Zhao Zhulian threw all the blame to Shen Zehai.
But the latter didn't take this trick and retorted directly: "If I knew, wouldn't I come over?"
"Anyway, I've sent someone to notify you." Zhao Zhulian's thoughts were all on Shen Yuejiao's face.
Seeing that Zhao Zhulian didn't care at all about this matter, Shen Zehai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that because I failed to respond in time, Yi Ming was dragged into the water!"
"What?" Zhao Zhulian was stunned and then realized the seriousness of the matter.
At the moment, he didn't care about the injury on Shen Yuejiao's face. He hurriedly ran to Shen Zehai and asked eagerly: "Master, please explain clearly. Why was Yiming dragged into the water?"
Compared to just now, Zhao Zhulian was obviously more interested in Shen Yiming.
Seeing this scene, the sneer on Zhao Li's face became even worse.
The master's move was indeed the right one.
Hit a snake seven inches, and kill a person with a heartache.
Shen Yiming is the lifeblood of the Shen family.
Zhao Zhulian looked at Shen Zehai and said in a panic: "Master, you have spoken, what is going on? Ming'er doesn't know anything about our plan, how could he be dragged into the water? Is it a mistake?"
"Shut up!" Shen Zehai interrupted Zhao Zhulian angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Only then did the latter realize that what he had just said was unreasonable, and he subconsciously covered his mouth.
Shen Zehai glanced at Zhao Li carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no strange expression on his face.
It seemed that Zhao Li didn't notice anything was wrong.
"master……"
Zhao Zhulian wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Shen Zehai, "Okay, if there's anything else, let's talk about it when we get back!"
Then he turned to Shen Yuejiao and said in a gentle voice, "Jiaojiao, stop making trouble now. Daddy will take you back and let the doctor give you medicine."
Shen Yuejiao vaguely sensed that something was wrong from the conversation just now. She nodded obediently and followed Shen Zehai into the carriage back home.
Zhao Li watched the carriage fly away in the dust, and could no longer suppress the mocking smile on his face.
It was really interesting. It had been a long time since he had seen his master plotting against someone like this.
Nowadays, the master does things with his hands and not his brain.
Unexpectedly, this time, he would break his habit for Shen Liuli.
After a while, Zhao Li stopped his smile, turned around and walked in the other direction of the street.
Now that the fish has taken the bait, it's time for him to inform his master and start preparing the next plan.
