Chapter 472 She was not angry!
Luojia Mountain. Old house in the bamboo sea.

When Shen Jianping rushed over, all the important people in the Shen family had already gathered together.

The three brothers Shen Wuxiang, Shen Boyu and Shen Wanshan sat high on the throne, and the others were arranged on both sides according to their seniority and status, either standing or sitting.

Being able to have a seat in the Shen family's meeting room is more important than having a position in the imperial court.

Shen Wuxiang, the uncrowned king of the empire, also rushed back from the Qishan camp. It seems that Shen Lewen's affairs have had a huge impact on the entire Shen family.

This made Shen Wuxiang and Shen Boyu feel a sense of crisis, otherwise they would not have gone to such great lengths to hold such a large-scale family gathering at such a critical moment.

Seeing Shen Jianping coming in, Shen Boyu pointed to the first seat on the left and said, "Jianping is back? Come and sit down and have a rest."

Shen Jianping is the Vice Prime Minister of the Empire and is the top candidate to take over the position of Minister of Culture Su Zhenlie after his retirement.

Once Shen Jianping secures his position as the Empire's Minister of Culture, he will become the head of the three ministers and the first person after the Emperor of the Empire.

Therefore, although he is not the oldest among his generation, he is particularly valued by the family because of his prominent status.

"Thank you, uncle."

Shen Jianping sat down as he was told with a sad face.

Shen Boyu looked at Shen Jianping's grief, sighed deeply, and said comfortingly: "Jianping, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please mourn and take care of yourself."

"Second Uncle." Shen Jianping's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "I feel sad. There is no greater pain in life than seeing a younger person die."

"My mind is empty now, and my whole body feels like it's being pricked by needles. When I saw Le Wen lying there, I really wanted to take his place. I really wanted to lie there for him."

Shen Jianping covered his chest with his hands. The pain of losing his son almost completely destroyed him. He couldn't even sit on the chair and looked heartbroken and might fall at any time.

"Jianping..." Shen Boyu walked up, gently patted Shen Jianping's shoulder, and consoled him: "I understand, I understand, I feel the same way."

"Le Wen is also a child I watched grow up. How can I not feel sad when he suffered such a cruel act? How can I not feel pain in my heart?"

"But we still have to look up and move forward. The family needs you, the empire needs you, and Lewu needs you too."

"If you never recover, what will you do about Le Wen's revenge? We have to find the murderer and not let the child die with regrets."

"Uncle, you have to make the decision for us. Le Wen died tragically. We must avenge him."

"The murder of my son of the Shen family is an irreconcilable feud. I don't care who he is, or what his status is. I will dig him out even if I have to dig three feet into the ground. Lingchi execution is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart." Shen Boyu expressed his opinion immediately.

"Thank you, second uncle. Thank you, second uncle." Shen Jianping knew that he had almost finished his "performance" and would be disgusting if he continued pretending.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "I feel relieved with what my second uncle said."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Boyu's eyes widened and he said sternly, "Isn't Le Wen a child of our Shen family? It is only natural for me to avenge him."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Uncle, I said the wrong thing."

"I don't blame you. Anyone who encounters such a thing would feel bad. An old man like me can't bear such a blow."

He looked around, then his eyes fell on Shen Jianping's face and said, "So, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again at home."

Everyone said yes, and no one dared to go against Shen Boyu's wishes.

Shen Jianping understood that Shen Boyu was advising him not to target his family members.

He secretly hated her in his heart, but didn't dare to show it on his face.

Shen Boyu walked back to his original seat and sat down. He looked at Shen Jianping and asked, "Jianping, do you have any clues about Le Wen's murder?"

Shen Jianping shook his head and said, "No. I just heard from Zhang Jin and the others that when they were drinking, a woman pretending to be a staff member entered the box and poured a glass of wine for Le Wen."

"After the incident, Le Wu had people take control of the Imperial Mansion and check the surveillance. The girl borrowed the identity information of a staff member named Kong Sheng."

"The bodyguard at the door also checked her ID card and identity information, and there was no problem at all."

"It proves that the other party came prepared and has very advanced computer technology. They were able to hack into the Imperial Mansion's intelligent computer system without anyone noticing and replace Kong Sheng's identity information." Shen Boyu explained aloud.

"Yes." Shen Jianping nodded and said, "After she harmed Le Wen, she swaggered away pushing the garbage truck."

"She disappeared next to the garbage truck behind the Imperial Mansion, and then there was no trace of her. We had someone scan her face for information, but they could only find Kong Sheng."

"However, Kong Sheng was found at her residence. She was fed a drug called ecstasy powder and became drunk for three days. She has not sobered up yet."

"Was it done by the Lu family?" Shen Cong raised the suspect and said, "The Lu family's intelligence technology is extremely outstanding. Especially that Lu Siyu, who is the number one hacker in the empire. It is really easy for them to break into the computer of the Imperial Mansion and replace the information."

"We can't rule out this possibility." Shen Jianping glanced at Shen Cong and said, "But the security factor of the Imperial Mansion's intelligent computer system is originally very low. Anyone can crack it."

"I'm just afraid that someone with ulterior motives poisoned me and then put the blame on the Lu family. Anyway, the Lu family is not in Phoenix City, so they can put the blame on me in any way they want."

Shen Cong sensed Shen Jianping's hostility and said with dissatisfaction: "I just said it casually. We still need to find evidence to find out who did it. Why are you so angry with me?"

"Am I angry? I'm being reasonable with you. Before the murderer is found, everyone is a suspect."

"What do you mean everyone is a suspect? All of us?"

"I didn't say that. You put yourself in that situation."

"Shen Jianping, what do you mean?"

"That's what you think I mean."

Snapped!
There was the sound of tea bowls tapping on the table.

Shen Wuxiang glanced at Shen Cong and Shen Jianping and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Neither Shen Cong nor Shen Jianping dared to speak.

Shen Wuxiang controls the imperial army and is the actual controller of this country.

He is not a king, but he is better than a king.

Even within the family, his words are law.

Only Shen Boyu dared to express his different opinions in front of him, and others had no right to protest at all.

Including Shen Jianping, the empire's vice prime minister.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun; whoever has the bigger fist is right.

This is true both in ancient and modern times.

Shen Wuxiang's eyes fell on Shen Jianping's face, and he said, "We are all very sad about Le Wen's death. After hearing the news, I rushed back as soon as possible."

"Before this, I have asked the National Security Bureau to intervene in the investigation. I believe they will give everyone a satisfactory explanation of the truth."

"However, I want to solemnly declare here that before the results come out, everyone should not be suspicious of each other."

"I know that the atmosphere at home has been very strange recently. Many people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. They form alliances and attack each other. The family is no longer like a family, and the family members are no longer like family members." "Le Wen's death is obviously someone trying to sow discord within our family. Before anything big is accomplished, our family members are fighting each other. Isn't this a joke?"

"So, from today on, from this moment on, put away all those thoughts that you shouldn't have. We will discuss who will take that position in the future."

"If there is anyone who dares to stir up trouble and cause unrest in the family, then he is an enemy of our Shen family. We will kick him out of the Shen family tree and deal with him as a spy."

"."

Under the current circumstances, espionage is a capital crime.

Shen Wuxiang meant that if anyone stirs up conflict within the family, causing hostility and vengeance, the person will surely die.

"A harmonious family brings prosperity." Shen Boyu saw Shen Wuxiang finish his good-face performance and immediately spoke up to smooth things over: "Wuxiang is right. Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, our family members are fighting. Not only has it made a fool of itself for outsiders, but it has also delayed our family's important event."

"What's the point of fighting over something you haven't even got yet? If the duck in your mouth flies away, who's responsible for it?"

"This is an extraordinary period. Even Wuxiang is very cautious every day, with his heart in his throat. Don't you have any fear at all?"

"Do you know how many eyes are watching us now? Although the remnants of the Tang family have fled to the old land, they have no ambushes in the new star? Maybe there are people among us."

"There are also the Qin and Lu families who rule their own territories. Are they so easy to get along with? If you are not careful, they will bite you."

"My dear family, the road ahead is long and arduous, and the challenges are high and dangerous. We must work together and make concerted efforts."

"Second Grandfather is right. We in the Shen family should think and work together."

"Whoever sabotages at this time will be a sinner of the family."

"Everyone should practice harmony. I have never thought about that position."
-
"If you succeed, you will have a life of luxury. If you fail, you will be dead." Shen Wuxiang added from the side.

"."

No one can respond to this, and no one dares to respond.

But who made him Shen Wuxiang?
When a small person speaks rudely, it means he has low emotional intelligence.

When big shots speak harshly, that's because they are straightforward.

No matter how harsh his words were, everyone present could only listen.
After convincing everyone, Shen Boyu said, "It's been a while since you last saw Xing Lan, right? Come on, let him come out and chat with everyone and have some tea."

Everyone looked towards the yard. The young man was in high spirits, his white clothes were whiter than snow.
-
No. 18, Yanqing Street.

The residence of the Minister of Finance.

Sheng Jing and Sheng Xinhuai sat opposite each other. Sheng Xinhuai looked impatient and said, "Old Sheng, why did you bring me back from so far away? I have classes early tomorrow morning and I have to go back to prepare for the class."

Sheng Jing lowered his head to make tea, as if making tea was the most important thing.

He gave the tea in the cup to Sheng Xinhuai and said, "Drink tea."

"What's so good about tea? It's bland and tasteless. If there were wine, I could sit with you for three days and three nights."

Sheng Jing took a sip of the teacup, looked at Sheng Xinhuai and said, "Shen Lewen is dead."

"Ah?" Sheng Xinhuai looked surprised and asked Sheng Jing, "Dead? How did he die? Wasn't he alive and well yesterday?"

"He was poisoned to death just after visiting our Sheng family." Sheng Jing briefly introduced the situation.

"Who did it? Has the murderer been caught?"

Sheng Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Sheng Xinhuai and asked, "You don't know anything?"

"Old Sheng, what do you mean? What do I know?" She stared at Sheng Jing with wide eyes, with an incredible look on her face: "You don't suspect that I killed Shen Lewen? Am I crazy? Even if you don't want to marry him, there is no need to kill him."

“This matter is very complicated.”

"No matter how complicated it is, it has nothing to do with me." Sheng Xinhuai said firmly: "When did he die? I'll find an alibi."

"."

Sheng Jing looked at Sheng Xinhuai thoughtfully.

As if to prove his innocence and grievance, Sheng Xinhuai looked back at his old man without showing any weakness.

After a long while, Sheng Jing waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare for class. A teacher should act like a teacher."

"I know." Sheng Xinhuai immediately got up from the ground, turned around and walked away, saying, "I am the most popular teacher in the school. No one else."

"Is the bandit Tang back?" Sheng Jing asked.

Sheng Xinhuai paused, turned to look at Sheng Jing, and said expressionlessly: "Are you back? How come I didn't know?"

Sheng Jing stared at her face and then sighed softly.

When Sheng Xinhuai walked away, a man with rosacea sat down opposite Sheng Jing, picked up the tea that Sheng Xinhuai had not touched and drank it all in one gulp. Then he frowned and said, "Xinhuai is right. This tea is really tasteless. It's better to drink alcohol."

"You reek of alcohol, it's suffocating." Sheng Jing said with disgust.

"Hahaha, you drunkard, how can you not smell of alcohol?" said the man with rosacea, laughing.

He looked at Sheng Jing with interest and said, "But you, who hardly ever drinks, gave birth to a drunkard daughter. Are you angry?"

"Isn't this your fault?" Sheng Jing gritted his teeth when he mentioned this matter: "If you hadn't thrown the wine gourd over when we were drawing lots, would she have been able to smell the smell and crawl over there?"

"This only proves that she has a connection with wine. You put out so many delicious dishes, but she didn't want any of them. Her eyes lit up when she saw the wine gourd. Can you blame me for this?"

"You should drink less. Look at what you've become." Sheng Jing scolded.

If anyone dared to scold him like this, the drunkard would twist his head off on the spot.

But this is his own brother.
He could only stand beside it.

"Okay, okay, I can't quit drinking, so just curse me with something else." The alcoholic was not angry, but said with a smile.

"."

Seeing that his elder brother was silent, Jiuchi asked, "Do you really know that Bandit Tang is back, or are you using words to deceive your precious daughter?"

"It was just a suspicion before, but now it is certain." Sheng Jing said with a face as dark as water.

"why?"

"Because I mentioned Tang Fei in front of her, she didn't even get angry."
