Emperor Jianning was a resolute person, and once he decided to investigate, the entire Bianjing City immediately moved.

The Criminal Department took the lead, and transferred people from the Ministry of War to help, and began a large-scale search for gunpowder black workshops throughout the city.

The matter of the saltpeter mine was handed over to the King of Jin to investigate, and Feng Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was temporarily dismissed from his post and waited for the matter to be clarified before making a final conclusion.

The personnel who went to Yuzhou to investigate were also quickly decided.

Su Yi, as the imperial history of the Inspectorate, was appointed as the minister of the Qin Mission as the presiding officer, and then Feng Weihuai, the squire of the Criminal Department, Xu Yuanhong, the eldest son of the Duke of Ruiguo, was also among the entourage, as well as Shen He and the Seven Princes.

The first two are handling cases and investigating cases, Xu Yuanhong is already an official, he is to help do some chores, of course, he also has the role of keeping an eye on the progress of the case for the prince, Shen He was sent mainly because Emperor Jianning valued his military talents.

After all, it is suspected that King Yu has the intention of rebellion, so he has to send a general to follow, just in case.

As for the Seven Princes, to be honest, they are a mascot.

King Yu is a relative of the emperor in the end, and it is always bad to only send ministers to check him directly, so he stuffed the seven princes into it.

It is also because the prince can't pull away, and the King of Jin wants to investigate the case in Bianjing, and the fourth prince, Emperor Jianning, can't look down on 10,000, so there is only one seventh prince left.

In fact, if it wasn't for Shen Qianwei's injury, Emperor Jianning would have intentionally let Shen Qianwei go, but unfortunately he missed this opportunity.

After deciding who to go to, I quickly packed up my things and hit the road two days later.

Before leaving, the Seventh Prince went to General Mingwei's Mansion to visit Shen Qianwei.

The two of them sat and talked in Shen Qianwei's room.

"How's your injury?" The Seventh Prince looked at his arm and looked regretful, "If you weren't injured, it would definitely be you who went back this time, not General Shen, then I would have a companion." ”

In this regard, Shen Qianwei also felt a pity, and sighed helplessly.

"Who can blame you for bad luck, but you, you can follow my father when you go out this time, and he will protect you if something happens."

"Don't worry, I won't come back with the same injuries as you." The Seventh Prince smiled.

After taking a sip of tea, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the teacup tightened a little.

"It's rare for my father to give me an errand, this time I have to give me a good chance to let my father see my usefulness, otherwise in the long run, I will be reduced to the same kind of person as the fourth child."

is stupid and lustful, and his face is full of ambition, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Jianning doesn't have many heirs, and the four princes are really stupid, they can't play under Emperor Jianning's nose, otherwise they would have been gone.

Right now, there is no difference between being alive and dead.

To let Emperor Jianning bypass him and directly let the younger Seven Princes handle the case, that would be a slap in the face.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that since the last reward lotus banquet fell into the water in the palace, the four princes haven't come out to show their faces for so long, and they say that they are sick.

I guess there's still a little bit of shame left.

Shen Qianwei sneered and raised his hand to pat the Seventh Prince's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's rare for the four princes to be like that, I'm optimistic about you, and I'm still waiting for you to become a prince in the future."

Speaking of the word prince, the light in the eyes of the seventh prince flashed, but then he smiled and replaced the wine with tea, and touched a cup with Shen Qianwei.

At this time, the Yan family sent someone over to spread the word, saying that lunch was almost ready, so that the Seventh Prince and Shen Qianwei would be able to go to the main hall for dinner in a while.

The two nodded in response, talked for a while, and then went to the main hall together.

When he came, Yan was directing the maids to set the meal, and General Shen was standing by with his hands behind his back to watch his wife make a meal.

While touching his nose, he said, "Why don't you just have a meal, it's not too troublesome to put it around." ”

"His Royal Highness the Seventh is also here today, naturally he will follow the rules, if you don't know how to speak, don't say anything, there is no shame, my son has learned from you." Yan glared at him.

General Shen turned his face away and stopped opening his mouth.

Shen Qianwei and the Seventh Prince, who came in from outside, snickered at this scene.

"My mother is amazing." Shen Qianwei used his arm to hold a top of the Seven Princes.

The latter nodded with a smile, "It's rare to see General Shen being in charge, but he is majestic in the barracks." ”

"Hey, when I get home, my father and I have to listen to my mother." Shen Qianwei smacked his lips.

As he spoke, he walked into the house.

The Seventh Prince slowed down for a while, and when he saw the Shen family of three happily together, a sour feeling surged in his heart.

It would be great if his biological mother was still alive, even if he didn't get his father's care, at least his mother loved him.

But after thinking about it, the biological mother was from a low background, if she was still alive, she would be bullied in the harem, and she would have a hard time, but it would be better to die cleanly.

This suffering is left to him alone.

"Your Highness, come over for dinner, Qianwei said that you love to eat squirrel fish, and today I specially called the kitchen to do it." Yan greeted with a smile.

The voice interrupted the Seven Princes' thoughts, and also made him smile on his gloomy face.

nodded, threw away his heart, and sat down next to Shen Qianwei.

When he picked up the dishes and chopsticks, the Seventh Prince suddenly thought that the reason why he was so close to Shen Qianwei was probably because he liked the warmth and home feeling of the Shen family.

After a meal, after the Seventh Prince left, the Shen family of three sat and drank the tea, and the Yan family thought about it with a sad face.

"Yuzhou said that it is not far away, and it is not close to it, the lord is still going to investigate the case, I don't know when I can come back, I don't know if it is dangerous or not, Qianwei was injured again, I am really sad in my heart, neither of you is worry-free."

"What can happen, don't worry too much, ma'am." Shen He comforted, and glanced at his son again, "This kid is recuperating from his injuries and staying at home, let Lao He watch him, and he is not allowed to go anywhere." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Qianwei was not happy, and he refuted it in a hurry.

"It's not like I've broken my leg, so I'm not going anywhere."

"You didn't break your leg, you broke your arm." Shen He glared at him and threatened, "Lao Tzu is not at home, if you make your mother angry, wait for Lao Tzu to come back and break your legs!" ”

Shen Qianwei pursed his lips, he didn't dare to come with his father, and sat back obediently.

Yan watched the two of them talk for a while, and then sighed and put down the teacup.

"It's not been peaceful lately, my heart is always unhappy, if the weather is good tomorrow, I will go to Baiyu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and I also ask for peace."

"Dad is leaving for Yuzhou tomorrow, won't my mother send it off?" Shen Qianwei said.

Yan nodded, "Naturally, go and send it, aren't you all at the city gate, just after sending your father, let's go to Baiyu Temple to burn incense." ”

"We?" Shen Qianwei grasped the point, and then said with a smile, "Mother, my father said that I am not allowed to go anywhere." ”

As soon as he said this with a hippie smile, the eyes of Shen He and Yan swept over in unison.

Shen Qianwei's skin tightened, and he quickly sat up and nodded, "My mother is going to burn incense and worship the Buddha, I naturally want to accompany my mother." ”
