Chapter 376 How do you know this is the west of the city?
"No!" Shen Yanxi spoke quickly.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zhaozhi was puzzled.
Shen Yanxi avoided Pei Zhaozhi's sight and said in a deep voice: "The matter of Bisen has not been completely resolved yet. If we start the Minister of Works at this critical moment, the two ministers will have problems one after another, which will definitely make the emperor unhappy."
"But whether it's the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Works, they all have their reasons and evidence. Even if the emperor is unhappy, this is the fact."
"It is true, but if someone takes the opportunity to spread rumors, claiming that the emperor is not good at judging people and that the important officials he selected have problems one after another, then do you think the emperor will give the Minister of Works a lighter sentence for the sake of the court's face and to quell the rumors?"
Shen Yanxi's words made Pei Zhao's heart sink.
There is no emperor who does not care about the face of the court and the majesty of the royal family. If such rumors were to spread, it might really be possible.
but……
"Chu Yisheng's matter has been delayed for a long time. If we continue to wait, there may be some changes."
"Then wait another five days. I saw today that the emperor has made up his mind to demote Bisen. This matter should be concluded in one or two days. Even if time cannot be delayed any longer, at least don't put two things together and put them in front of the emperor."
Pei Zhaozhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I can also continue to investigate the matter of the jade pendant and the blood letter. Although Chu Yisheng has confessed everything about the hall, he still refuses to admit the things written in the blood letter because there is no other evidence."
"it is good."
After Shen Yanxi responded, he asked to see the evidence that Pei Zhaozhi had found.
Pei Zhaozhi had no doubts and quickly showed it to Shen Yanxi.
It was almost midnight when Shen Yanxi returned to the Shen family.
After the morning court session ended the next day, he took the initiative to find Xiao Ling.
"It seems that Lord Shen has thought it through."
Shen Yanxi spoke directly: "Pei Zhaozhi already has detailed evidence of the Minister of Industry's corruption and bribery. Even if Chu Yisheng wasn't there, he wouldn't be able to escape."
Xiao Ling frowned and looked at Shen Yanxi, somewhat doubting the truthfulness of what he said.
Shen Yanxi slowly reported several names and the amount of money transferred.
"These people did not need to bribe the Ministry of Works. If I am not mistaken, this sum of money should have been transferred to Your Highness through the Minister of Works."
Seeing Shen Yanxi's explanation so detailed and certain, Xiao Ling's face darkened again, but then he smiled again.
"It seems fortunate that I have Jiang Suining in my hands, otherwise the evidence might have been presented to my father today."
That Pei Zhaozhi is really amazing. He was able to find out all this.
"Your Highness is right. If it weren't for Sui Ning, the Minister of Industry would have been imprisoned by now, and Your Highness would not be able to escape unscathed."
"But since Lord Shen has told this to me, I think the decision has already been made." Xiao Ling said proudly.
Shen Yanxi glanced at him and said, "I will find a way to destroy all the evidence in Pei Zhaozhi's hands, but Chu Yisheng, you need to send someone to kill him yourself."
"I'm afraid..."
"I will create opportunities for your Highness's people." Shen Yanxi interrupted Xiao Ling.
His brows were gloomy and his tone was tense.
"Chu Yisheng has already signed, and with the evidence, even if he dies now, it won't change much. So the evidence is more important than Chu Yisheng's life. Pei Zhaozhi has always been cautious. Apart from him, I am the only one who knows where the evidence is now. When the time comes, I will create an opportunity and act at the same time as the people sent by His Highness, which can not only distract attention, but also destroy all the evidence."
Xiao Ling looked at Shen Yanxi with admiration, "This prince really did not choose the wrong person."
Originally, he just wanted Shen Yanxi to kill Chu Yishen, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected gain. But then again, since he has chosen to help him, it will not be of any benefit to Shen Yanxi if he leaves any trouble behind.
"Your Highness, just remember that if anything happens to Sui Ning, I will never let Your Highness off even if both of us suffer."
"Don't worry, what I want is not Jiang Suining's life from the beginning to the end. Since Lord Shen knows the current situation, when you and Jiang Suining get married, I will definitely send someone to send a generous gift."
Having said all, Shen Yanxi was the first to leave.
After Xiao Ling returned to the Third Prince's Mansion, he immediately began to make arrangements. At the same time, he sent a message to Bai Xinan, asking him to ensure Jiang Suining's safety.
In an inconspicuous small courtyard, after receiving the news, Bai Xinan walked into the room where Jiang Suining was imprisoned.
"Congratulations, Miss Jiang. I just received a message from His Highness that Lord Shen has agreed to do something for His Highness. You will be able to leave soon."
Jiang Suining's hands and feet were tied, and he was leaning against the wall. Hearing this, he looked at Bai Xinan.
"Did Shen Yanxi really agree?"
"The news sent by His Highness cannot be wrong. Moreover, Lord Shen has also leaked the existing evidence in the Dali Temple and has even handed in his letter of surrender." Bai Xin'an sat down at the table, his eyes revealing contempt and mockery, "Miss Jiang really found a good fiancé."
Shen Yanxi is indeed very capable in the court, but unfortunately he is indulged in love and can only be at the service of His Highness in the future.
Jiang Suining moved his wrist, "Since Shen Yanxi has already agreed, then Lord Bai and he will be allies in the future. Can you do me a favor and untie the rope for me now?"
"Miss Jiang, are you going to play some tricks again?"
"I am locked up here alone. There are guards inside and outside the courtyard. Besides, Lord Bai is still here. What can I do?" Jiang Suining smiled helplessly. "It's just that my hands and feet are hurting so much from tying them up. If I continue to tie them up, and something goes wrong... it will easily make me an enemy."
Bai Xinan looked hesitant.
Since His Highness had ordered him to ensure Jiang Suining's safety, it seemed that he had a very good conversation with Shen Yanxi, and they would probably really work together in the future. If Jiang Suining went to Shen Yanxi to stir up trouble...
"Forget it. Miss Jiang is a smart person. I don't think she would do something stupid like running away."
Bai Xinan called out to the door, and a secret guard came in and untied the ropes on Jiang Suining's hands and feet.
Jiang Suining rubbed his red wrists and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
"Thank you, Lord Bai."
"Miss Jiang, you're too polite." Bai Xin'an picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Jiang Suining. "I hope Miss Jiang won't bear a grudge about this incident."
"Of course not." Jiang Suining shook his head. "Master Bai was just following orders. It was not easy for Master Bai to conceal his whereabouts and bring me from Xiangji Temple to the west of the city."
Bai Xinan paused as he was about to pour himself some tea and quickly looked at Jiang Suining, "How do you know this is the west of the city?"
