The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 309 Shen Mansion (1)
"Report to the emperor, when I impeached Shen Zhuangyi, during his tenure as the governor and inspector of the South, he embezzled 3000 taels of silver with ink patterns, seven antique jade wares, and 46 literati calligraphy and paintings, with a total value of 600 taels."

"My Majesty, Shen Fuheng took the post of Minister of Industry and received immeasurable bribes. Only for the construction of the bridge in Fangxi, Shen Fuheng embezzled nearly 4 taels of silver from it, which is simply appalling!"

"Report to the emperor, Shen Fu and Yu took office as the head of the household department, and forged accounts..."

Early in the morning, the court was in chaos.The few civilian officials in the Prince Regent's party headed by Lu Qingyun, as if they had eaten gunpowder, took turns one after another, arresting all the officials who had served in the court from top to bottom in Shen's house, wantonly Impeach.

It doesn't matter whether they are retired or in office, as long as they have committed crimes, they will all be named by Lu Qingyun.Even the old man of the Shen family, who had been dead for nearly 20 years, was found guilty of 200 taels of silver.

200 taels...is that called money?
But big and small, no matter how big or small, everything was raised by Lu Qingyun and others, and the people on Prime Minister You's side had nothing to say.

The new account and the old account were added together, and everyone was dumbfounded.Taken alone, there are not many major cases, but piled up together, it is really sensational.The Shen family is a family of several dynasties, so the accumulated offenses can be a small sum?Simply sky-high!It can be said to have swallowed a rich treasury.

There are still a few juniors in the court who are officials in Shen's residence, and at this moment they are lying trembling in the hall, not even daring to call out "wronged", waiting in fear for the Holy Majesty's verdict.They knew many things, but more things they had never even heard of, but now they have been found out by the Prince Regent, and the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied!
The little emperor patted the dragon head angrily on the dragon chair: "Bold! Come on, pass on Shen Zhuangyi and Shen Fuheng!"

Early in the morning, Old Master Shen, Shen Zhuangyi was still waiting for the news that his son, Shen Fuheng, had gone to Dali Temple to inquire. The son didn't wait for him to come back, but he waited for the father-in-law in the palace to summon him.

Old Mrs. Shen guessed that the regent had filed a complaint in advance in the court, so he ordered his servants to take out dozens of brocade boxes from his study.

After Shen Fuheng returned to the mansion, the father and son sat on the carriage entering the palace, and both looked at each other, nervous, but only nervous.

"How is Yi'er?"

"That old thief Shao Ankang didn't ask me to see Yi Er at all. He only said that Yi Er's matter has been finalized. If there is any disagreement, he can only go to the emperor to appeal." Shen Fuheng patted his legs resentfully, "Where is such a rule? , the Prince Regent is deceiving people too much!"

"Yi'er is really absurd this time. Not to mention robbing people, the regent tracked them into the mansion and found them in the secret room. Fu Heng, you have taught them to be good sons!" Shen Zhuangyi straightly said Shen Fuheng's fault for teaching his son.

"Father, stop scolding. What should we do now? When we enter the palace later, what should we say in front of the emperor?"

Faced with Shen Fuheng's worries, Old Master Shen could finally hold his breath. He pointed to the brocade box stacked high beside him: "I don't believe that so many death-preventing gold medals can't keep Yi'er!"

The Shen residence's gold medal for avoiding death was saved by the ancestors' savings, but in the current Shen residence, except for the piece earned by old Mrs. Shen, the rest is all under the protection of the ancestors.

But is the Shen residence's gold medal for avoiding death really useful?

Shen Zhuangyi and Shen Fuheng knelt in the Golden Luan Palace, facing one after another of the clearest accusations of crimes, both of them were in a cold sweat, never expecting that the Prince Regent's methods would be so swift and thorough.They have nothing to say at all.There are many things that should be old cases, but there are also large pieces of indisputable evidence in front of them.
