Chapter 228: It won't be to punish the second uncle
Liu Ru, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but ask: "It's not your two brothers who came with you, who else." β
Then the three of them saw a red glow rising on Shen Jiayu's face: "My fiancΓ©." β
She briefly talked about recruiting relatives in the capital, and Shen Sisi and Shen Niannian, who had a particularly tacit understanding, patted her lightly on one of her arms: "Yes, Xiaoyu, find your sweetheart one step ahead of your two sisters." β
"Then is he here on behalf of the emperor, or because of you, with you here, my father should be able to clear his grievances."
Shen Sisi and Shen Niannian are born optimists, the two of them feel that there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, even if they are imprisoned, it is temporary, their father is upright, honest and honest, in Chenzhou over the years, the reputation is particularly good, and the people are very respectful.
"The loss of minerals was discovered by my father when he went to take inventory, and he immediately sent the government soldiers and officials to look for it, and he didn't suppress the matter, and ordered someone to send the news to Zhizhou, and then the garrison blocked the gate, searched our mansion, and locked us up without finding anything."
Liu Ru is a native of Chenzhou, and met by chance when Shen Xingjun was still a hairy boy when he first came to office.
"It means that those garrisons initially suspected that the second uncle would secretly smuggle it for the benefit of his father-in-law's family, and even the second aunt's maiden iron shop had not escaped inspection, right?"
Shen Jiayu wanted to ask as much as possible about the situation that day, the same thing seemed to different people from different angles, and she was very relieved that there was a third highness on the second uncle's side, and she didn't want to miss any clues.
Liu Ru nodded, a little helpless: "Those who run iron shops in Chenzhou are registered in Zhizhou, and the purchase of ore must also be approved by the official document, and every entry and exit in the shop is recorded in the account book." β
"The neighbors have not seen the iron shop buy a large number of minerals, and the garrison has let my father and mother go."
Shen Jiayu is a little afraid now, when she was in the capital, she only thought that it was aimed at the second uncle, and after learning about it in person, it is likely that even the second aunt's maiden family will be implicated, if she is ordered to close the shop, who will fall on such a big business.
The beneficiary is probably the one behind the scenes, and the second uncle will also be charged with corruption, but fortunately, that person did not arrange it.
"I remember that my father didn't accompany us to dinner that day, and in the past, my father used to eat in the house first, and then go to the government office to count the numbers, and then go home to sleep."
"Sister, I should be right."
Shen Niannian said suddenly.
"Daddy sent the official back that day to deliver a message, saying that there was another batch of ore, and the quality dug up this year is not bad, and the bureaucrats in the government invited him to drink to celebrate, and he can't be absent as a prefect on this kind of day, so we don't have to wait for him."
"Could this be premeditated, why did something happen when my father wasn't there this day?"
Shen Sisi's mind turned very quickly, they were thrown into prison all of a sudden, and they were a little flustered at first, so they didn't think of these details, for fear that the emperor would be furious and directly take their lives, and even the garrison didn't tell the truth when they asked.
"Hmm, then we have to focus on investigating the people who drank with the second uncle, which can be used as a breakthrough."
Shen Jiayu gained something, and his mood became clearer, and the jailer knocked on the cell door and said, "His Royal Highness the King invites you to come over." β
"I'll send someone to bring some quilts in a while, it's damp and cold in the prison, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it."
People can't take it away, it's okay to take care of one or two.
When Shen Jiayu and Yan Suizhi converged, they saw the second uncle coming out of the prison and following him: "What is Your Highness going to do?" You won't punish my second uncle. β
She certainly thought it was unlikely, but she didn't control her mouth.
"What do you think?"
Yan Suizhi curled his index finger and buckled it on her little brain with his knuckles, and Shen Xingjun also said with a smile: "Don't wronged Your Highness, he is a good person." β
Shen Jiayu didn't understand how the Third Highness had left the impression of a good person on the second uncle in a short period of time, which could only be attributed to his too great personality.
When they walked up, they met Dong Zhongyuan, who was wandering around, his eyes widened instantly, and he pointed at Shen Xingjun and asked in a lost voice, "Why did the prince bring the prisoner out?" β
