Chapter 678 Revealing the Secret
Lord Xingbu also saw their hesitation at this moment, and took the initiative to take out a jade pendant from his arms.
You can tell at a glance that this jade pendant is extremely valuable and cannot be obtained by ordinary people.
The Lord of the Criminal Department directly handed the jade pendant to Shen Fugui: "This jade pendant is my family heirloom. If you don't want to believe me, you can tell me about my jade pendant first. This jade pendant will be regarded as a mortgage to you until we solve the problem together. After this incident, please return the jade pendant to me."
The princess glanced at the jade pendant, then looked at him with some surprise: "Why do you have this jade pendant?"
"This is the jade pendant of my family. The previous princess's mother-in-law was my sister. To be precise, she was my cousin. Later, when I heard that something like that happened to my sister, I was really frightened." Mr. Xingbu said. After finishing, he sighed softly, "My heart is naturally on the side of the princess. Now that the Minister of Rites has taken the initiative to reach out to the princess, I naturally cannot tolerate it."
"What did the Minister of Rites ask you to come here for?"
Shen Fugui did not accept the jade pendant, but asked in a low voice.
The moment the princess saw the jade pendant, she already believed that Lord Xingbu really wanted to seek peace with the Shen family.
She then added: "What is the origin of the man who has been following you?"
"The Minister of Rites asked me to come here to find the young master of the Li family, and then to accuse the Shen family of treason. Finally, I will kill you directly with the fake ones, so that the emperor will not know whether you have rebelled. ." After Master Xingbu finished speaking, he sighed softly.
There are too many unjust cases in this world today.
Anyway, there is no way to vindicate someone who is innocent of death.
If he could be rehabilitated in the future, there would be no one left alive. Even if there are some people who survive, even if the matter is vindicated, this life will be almost ruined.
Thinking of this, Master Xingbu felt that it was really difficult for him to do anything.
He also heard about the Shen family's deeds and understood that it was not easy for the Shen family to get here. In a sense, some of the things experienced by the Shen family can be written into a biography and widely circulated.
He is also a person who appreciates talents, so he doesn't have the heart to do it.
After much thought, he decided to risk being directly eliminated by the Minister of Rites to seek peace with Shen Fugui.
The reason is that I hope to maintain my original intention, help more people get rid of their grievances, and let justice fill the world.
Thinking of this, he smiled with some relief: "When I see you these days, I feel particularly flustered. There is really no way I can do anything to you. After all, I know that you are taking good care of the princess these days. Now. I am the only one left in my family, and the princess is my only confidant. I hope she can live safely and contentedly, and I firmly believe she is not dead."
The princess couldn't hold it back any longer, and she said with a trembling voice: "Why are you the only one left in your family?"
The princess knew that her mother-in-law was executed to protect herself, and she also understood that a big tree attracts wind. After all, his mother-in-law is very favored, and the family does not have much power, so it is naturally not easy to survive in the harem for a long time.
The princess had already accepted this fact, but when she heard what Mr. Xingbu said at this moment, she was inevitably a little frightened.
She spoke subconsciously and then asked: "Why do you hide your identity? Why don't you go and get to know the princess?"
"Back then, my family provoked the wrong people, so it was wiped out. I survived only because I happened not to be at home that day. I didn't want to worry about meeting the princess. If one day others knew my identity, I would be implicated. Princess." When Mr. Xingbu said these words, he felt a little shaken.
The princess didn't know how to speak. Now was not the time to recognize each other, so she could only swallow her words in her heart and continue to ask about the mysterious man.
After Master Xingbu thought carefully for a moment, he gently shook his head: "Actually, I feel that the Minister of Rites is not the real person behind the scenes. There should be a bigger role behind him. Everything we see now is This is what the Minister of Rites wants us to see, but why would someone as smart as him take the initiative to act as a shield?"
Hitting the mark, Shen Fugui and the princess immediately realized that this was a contradiction.
They had not thought about this matter before, but now that they heard Master Xingbu speak like this, they couldn't help but panic.
"Do we need to arrest that man now?" The princess frowned and asked.
"The man has disappeared. I suspect he hid his identity and pretended to be someone else."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fugui immediately subconsciously looked at Li Chen not far away.
Li Chen was still communicating with Shen Qiu, but the impatient look on his face now was not the look Li Chen should have at all.
He took a deep breath and told Lord Punishment: "Stay in the same state as before. Don't let others know that you have told us everything in detail."
"I see."
Having said this, Shen Fugui adjusted his mentality and went to look for Li Chen and Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu's expression immediately heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Shen Fugui's arrival: "I just discussed it with Young Master Li and decided to set off to send the princess back to the capital the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
"I think it's not a bad idea, but I don't know if my mother can return to the capital with the princess?"
After Shen Fugui finished speaking, he looked at "Li Chen" cautiously.
As expected, Li Chen looked at Mr. Xingbu not far away with a thoughtful expression.
This look seemed to want Master Xingbu to take the initiative to refuse, so that his original plan would not be ruined.
"It doesn't matter. We can discuss this later. Anyway, there are other things to do today." The princess deliberately said this to test the Li Chen in front of her.
As expected, Li Chen didn't know what he had to do, but he couldn't help but nodded in agreement, deliberately pretending to be the person involved.
"In that case, let's meet tonight."
After Shen Fugui said these words, he left with Shen Qiu.
On the way back to look for Yao Shu, the three of them intentionally or unintentionally looked for places where people might be hiding.
After all, the person in front of him was not the real Li Chen, which meant that Li Chen was in danger.
"Wait, what is that?"
