Chapter 412 Surfaced (2)
Lu Yingxing's fingertips gently and rhythmically stroked his wife's increasingly round belly. A blanket embroidered with plum blossoms gently covered them, making them feel warm and comfortable. If it weren't for the occasional crying sound coming from outside the courtyard, this scene would have been almost perfect enough to be a painting.
Fu Yunxiu, who came to join in the fun, kept looking at Shen Yu with a thoughtful look. The princess was indeed not an ordinary person to be able to fall asleep in such a situation. But then again, is this kind of prenatal education they have... really okay?
Mu Ruilin, who arrived with him, stood consciously behind his sister with a guarded attitude.
In the yard, Qingli and Cangyu attacked at the same time. If anyone concealed or hesitated in their answer, no matter whether they were male or female, they would raise their hands and crush a finger bone. The person being interrogated was not allowed to make any sound.
Not far away, there were bodies kneeling on the ground, shivering. As the cold wind blew, unspeakable fear surged in everyone's heart. The children's mouths were covered by their parents, for fear that the slightest sound would wake up the sleeping princess inside.
There was an oppressive silence in the air, and even breathing became cautious.
Lu Yingxing took the confession and saw that he seemed not satisfied with the answer. He felt the weight on his shoulders and glanced at everyone in silence. He raised his hand and made a gesture. The guards in the courtyard nodded and moved silently towards the group of people.
"Wow, I don't want to die..."
"I, I really don't know anything, wuwu..."
Lu Yingxing reached out and covered his wife's ears. As soon as his Adam's apple moved, the female steward suddenly broke down and cried in pain, "I really don't know, I really don't know! Don't kill me!!"
Before he could utter a word, "Stop it now!" some anxious voices came from outside the door.
Shen Yu was successfully awakened by the noise. He squinted his eyes and saw Gao Yong coming in with six or seven people, including Mian Yunhao, Mr. Gao, Mr. Song, and Mr. Zhou, whom he had met before, as well as three strangers, two young men, and an old man with a cane.
Very good, no one can sleep this late at night!
Fu Yunxiu looked up in surprise and found that Lu Feifeng, who was supposed to be in Youcheng, was also among them. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Lu Feifeng glared at him unhappily, stepped out of the line and solemnly apologized to Lu Yingxing, "Greetings, Prince Zhuo. I was on my way here when I received news that someone was impersonating the commander of the guards in Prince You's Palace? And forged the token of the Third Young Master? May I ask, Prince Zhuo, where is the prisoner being held?"
He was really going to be scared to death by this group of people!!
He was fooled by Feiyao and asked to help him send a gift to the princess? He said that the gift was so precious that he, the prince of Youcheng, had to come and deliver it in person?
As a result, halfway through, they met a soldier who was going to Youcheng to deliver a message, saying that someone had dared to impersonate the commander of the guards and had been arrested, and asked Youcheng to send a representative to identify the person...
His heart skipped a beat. Yun Sixu, the commander of the guards of Prince You's Palace, had indeed secretly gone to Zhuocheng two days ago... He suddenly had a bad feeling. After asking in detail, he heard that the other party had also pretended to be Fei Yao's token. What else did he not understand? He remembered that his brother had played with two similar tokens in his hands earlier...
The person who openly detained Youcheng was a member of the Yun family who held an official position. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil! My younger brother really learned bad things from Princess Zhuo. He likes it!!!
Seeing Lu Feifeng's sly expression of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and relying on the fact that they were surrounded by people from Prince Zhuo's Mansion, he winked at him. Shen Yu smiled and took over the conversation, "Oh, you mean that liar? I heard that he fought back before he was caught, and one of his accomplices escaped. Did the prince meet him?"
He forced himself to suppress his smile, pretending to be regretful and said, "No, I guess he really did go back and tip off!" This tacit understanding of doing bad things instantly brought him back to the days in Luo City a few months ago. That was a rare period of comfort for him, without the Yun family and those messy things in Youcheng.
Hearing him say this, Shen Yu knew that it was safe. They let that man escape on purpose, and with his tip-off they were able to mislead the Yun family and make them think that Commander Yun was detained in Prince Zhuo's Mansion because he discovered the secret of the Mu family. This would only make the matter more real.
Who would have thought that she was just helping her brother in Youcheng to deal with a small trouble?
Yun Siji is the person with the highest position in the army of the Yun family in Youcheng's generation. With him around, the entire Youwang Mansion is full of sieves. During this period, he also sent people to keep an eye on Tian'er all day long. Tian'er was annoyed with him, so he wrote a letter to his sister for help.
It was rare for her old man to ask for help for the first time. As a sister, Shen Yu naturally cooperated highly.
Maybe the Yun family was too confident that Prince Zhuo's Mansion would not openly attack them? In fact, they didn't. The one who attacked was the third son of Prince You's Mansion. Prince Zhuo's Mansion just caught a fake one.
Anyway, the person is already in Shen Yu's hands. If she said he is a fake, then he can only be a fake!
"Excuse me, what's going on with these people?" A deep male voice sounded, breaking the quarrel between the two men.
Without Shen Yu saying anything, Cang Yu answered, "Following the order of the prince, the nine clans will be executed."
The young man beside him gasped and blurted out, "Are you crazy? What did they do to deserve the death of the entire clan?"
Lu Yingxing sneered, "Cangyu, show them."
The two unfamiliar men actually took the stack of confessions handed to them, but their expressions became uglier and uglier as they read through them. One of them even started to curse Yun Hao, "Is this what you call a small problem? You embezzled the relief money from Zhuocheng, embezzled the military pay from Zhuocheng, and even dared to touch the relief money sent from Luocheng!!"
Yun Hao was obviously also stunned by his attitude. Didn't they say that Prince Zhuo's Mansion discovered that these people were colluding with the Yun family? How come even these things were exposed? !
The kneeling stewards saw the opportunity and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, we are innocent! We just wanted to embezzle some of the money in the Guard House at first. We were not aware of what the Yun family did!"
Shen Yu said calmly, "I didn't know at first, but I may not know later. I know that money can make people happy, but you have lost your moral bottom line..." She looked at the old, weak, women and children over there, "Don't even think about saying you are wronged. Where did your man get all this money? Don't you know? You feel at ease when you spend money, but when something goes wrong, you all cry out for injustice. Ha! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Princess, please spare us! We know we are wrong!"
"God is merciful, Princess. You are pregnant..."
"Shut up!" Lu Yingxing knew what she wanted to say. He moved his hand, and the lady who was speaking fell straight down, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.
Shen Yu looked at the group of people steadily, without any warmth in his eyes. "Do you know how many people died of cold in Dong County last year? Spare your lives? If I spare your lives, who will spare their lives?"
She stood up with her eyes narrowed, her slender body like a sharp blade, "But you are right... God is merciful, I will give you a chance, you guys have to pay me back all the money you embezzled. If you are short of a penny, I will kill one person from your nine clans to make up for it!!"
