Chapter 269

"You don't need to threaten me! If I can't do it, it's useless if you really call your hall master, or put the knife on my neck." Ye Xinyi's voice sank, "Turn back , you talk to your hall master, I can only do my best on this matter. I can't completely fold myself in just because I helped her this time. If she doesn't agree, I have nothing to do."

While talking, the shop in front was bustling with people, and she heard a familiar voice, it was Liu Lu who had returned.

"My girl is back, let's take my leave first!" As she said that, she got up, passed the person in front of her, and left.When he got to the front, supported by Liu Lu, he was sent to the outside of the shop by the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village graciously.

Then I went to a jewelry shop not far away, and then went to a restaurant for dinner. Finally, I packed a lot of snacks before returning to the intersection and took a carriage back to Yuanming Street.

In the private room on the second floor of a certain restaurant on Qianmen Street, the window was opened a crack, and the two pairs of eyes at the back watched Shen's carriage drive away from the street, with a touch of coldness in their eyes.

"Hall Master." The person behind was the one who had just met Ye Xinyi in the silk manor, but now he looked respectful, turned his back to his figure in front, and saluted with fists.

The person standing in front of the window was a woman, but she was dressed in a black dress with a light veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water. At this moment, she was looking at the carriage that had already driven away, but there was nothing in her eyes. When she spoke, her voice was still cold and cold, "how's it going?"

"My subordinates don't think she is lying. Besides, our news is the same. Because of Xiangsi's death, there was a rift between her and Shen Yue. Shen Yue treated her worse than before. I'm afraid she might not be like the hall master. Hope, it can help us find out the news we want to know. Moreover, her temptation last night has made Shen Yue very dissatisfied, if she continues, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain." The man's flat voice did not show any fluctuations.

The red lips under the light veil of the woman in black at the front were slightly curved, "What? Are you still worried that we will cause their husband and wife to break up?"

"The chess piece placed by the leader must be of great use. It is too uneconomical to make her a useless chess piece right now." The male voice was still straightforward.

"Let's look again! If it really doesn't work, let's think of another way. Since Shen Yue is married to her, he can't easily divorce his wife."

"But if their husband and wife are at odds, it will be even more impossible to use her to control Shen Yue in the future."

The beautiful eyes under the light veil of the woman in Xuanyi turned around, but they pierced straight like a cold arrow, "I said it, wait for two days to see, don't let me say it a second time."

The man was so startled that he shut his mouth, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

"Go down!" The woman in Xuanyi was a little satisfied at this point, raised her hand and waved lightly, "Keep an eye on the Imperial Prison, and Shen Yue."

The man cupped his hands silently, turned around and stepped back.

The door of the room was lightly closed, and the woman in black was still standing by the window, looking at the direction in which the carriage left just now. Under the light veil, her red lips were slightly curved, but there was no smile in her eyes.

When Ye Xinyi returned home on Yuanming Street, seeing the pile of things she had bought, she lost interest and left it to Liu Lu and Tao Hong to clean up. She then leaned against the window with a sullen expression, staring out the window in a daze.

This is obviously not in a good mood.

After a while, I heard the movement, Chang An, who was sent to inquire about the news, came back. When he arrived at the door, he hesitated for a long time, and then said, "My lord seems to have entered the palace. I told the captain that I am busy with business. I am afraid tonight." I'm not going back home."

With a "pop", Ye Xinyi picked up a tea bowl on the kang table at hand and dropped it on the ground.

Inside and outside the house, several people were frightened into silence.

Looking at their wives' ashen faces, how could there be any peace and indifference in the usual days?

Shen Yue's entry into the palace was really not an excuse, at this moment, he was standing in the South Study Room with Feng Jixian, Lou Congyuan, and several other people with important positions in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, in front of Qianhe Emperor's court case.

It's just that Emperor Ganhe's face is very bad at the moment, he raised his eyes, stared at Feng Jixian and said, "So, what was stolen from the Ministry of Industry was not only the blueprint of the gun barrel, but also other things?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Industry. It is true. This is a rough list. The specifics are still being investigated." Feng Jixian cupped his hands and handed over a booklet. , has already stepped forward, took it with a bow, and presented it to Emperor Qianhe.

When Emperor Qianhe saw it, he was even more furious, and with a "snap" on the letter, he was photographed on the imperial case, "What is the Ministry of Industry doing? A left servant of the Ministry of Industry, is it possible that he is only in the Ministry of Industry?" Can you cover up the sky with your hands? What are Li Yuchuan, Minister of Industry, and Yan Chen, the servant on the right, doing without even noticing? Or are they clearly colluding with Zhang Xu? And you Jinyiwei asked you to monitor the officials, monitor the officials , Why didn’t you find out about such a big thing? If it wasn’t for Feng Aiqing this time, even if they emptied all the things in the Ministry of Industry, I would still be in the dark.”

Pointing at Jin Yiwei, Lou Congyuan was so frightened that he immediately brought all his subordinates to kneel down, "I'm terrified."

Emperor Ganhe slowed down, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little more gentle, "Is there any result in the torture in the imperial prison?"

Lou glanced back from afar, Shen Yue understood, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this case is not only related to the Ministry of Industry."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in Nan's study room, Ganhe Di stretched his body, and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Zhang Xu was used by someone as a beauty trick to make a bridge. He was a concubine he had newly recruited more than a year ago. My minister followed the vine and found out a lot of things. Please read it, Your Majesty." Shen Yue offered a confession.

The confession was very long, and it seemed that a lot of things had been interrogated.

"Hurry up! Present it!" Emperor Ganhe waved his sleeve anxiously.

Zhang Jili responded with a "yes", and quickly stepped up, took the confession, and presented it to Emperor Qianhe.

Emperor Ganhe opened the confession and read it quickly, but his face became more and more ugly, "You bastard! They are all bastards! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to shake the foundation of my name, or are they clearly aiming at me? Did you come from Jiangshan?"

On this day, Qianhe Emperor Longyan was furious, and all civil and military officials were called into the South Study Room.From noon to late at night, Emperor Qianhe's scolding sounded from time to time in the South Study Room.

When night fell, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang searched various mansions. Even ordinary people knew that the sky in the capital might change again.

For three consecutive days, Shen Yue never returned to the mansion.

However, unlike the peace in the mansion, even Ye Xinyi, a woman locked in a deep house, heard a lot of movements outside the mansion.

In addition, she felt a little flustered, so she sent Chang'an out every day to find out the news.

It's just that when I heard the news, my heart became more and more uncertain, and I couldn't help showing a little panic on my face.
