Regarding the case of Shen Yuan accidentally killing Sun Cai Nan in the Ding capital, the trial of the case was unprecedentedly swift and decisive. First of all, Sun Tian Zheng sent a memorial to the Imperial Court to request Shen Yuan to repay the debt of blood with blood. If he did not comply, he would have to return to his hometown due to his old age, so he actually threatened Emperor Wen Hui to quit.
Compared to Shen Gui, the Minister of Appointments was clearly more important. Sun Tian Zheng had been in office for many years, and the connections he had made were to suddenly change to someone else. It was likely that there would be great chaos. Emperor Wen Hui naturally wanted to appease Sun Tian Zheng. Secondly, the imperial censors would never point fingers at the courtiers for making mistakes. How could they let this case of manslaughter go? Thinking that Sun Tian Zheng had lost his only son, the censors' censure fell on Shen Gui.
What was unexpected was Shen Gui's attitude. Shen Gui knelt in front of Emperor Wen Hui and promised with tears and snot that he did not teach his son properly and was willing to place righteousness before family and let Shen Yuan pay with his life.
It was said that his words shocked all the civil and military officials in the court.
Although these words sounded impartial and impartial, he did not try to fight for his own son first, but instead straightforwardly agreed to pay with his life. This was too inhumane. Even though Shen Gui was usually smooth and slick, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. This action still made his colleagues who were on good terms with him stay at a respectful distance.
The ministers all stood on Sun Tian Zheng's side and when Emperor Wen Hui asked the Princes for their opinion, the nine Princes unanimously stood on Sun Tian Zheng's side. Even if they didn't express their stance, almost everyone knew how the case would go.
Shen Yuan's execution order was given three days later. This was probably the fastest execution order since the founding of Ming Qi. There was almost no action to reverse the verdict or resist, and directly convicted. There was no doubt that the Sun family added fuel to the fire, but the Shen family's inaction was also a big reason. As for whether there were other people secretly pulling the strings, it was unknown.
In the dark prison, Shen Yuan sat in the innermost part. His hair was already disheveled, and his body had not been washed for several days, so there was a sour smell coming from it. If one were to look closely at his usually calm gaze, one would be able to see slight panic and even a hint of despair hidden within.
Last night, someone had snuck in and fed him a mute drug. He could not say anything. Who would do such a thing? Who would have such remarkable abilities to break into the prison? Shen Yuan knew it clearly.
Fu Xiu Yi would not come to save him. At first, he still held a bit of hope, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Fu Xiu Yi saving him would do more harm than good. That man was best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm, so he would not take this risk for him. On the contrary, Shen Yuan's existence had become a restless chess piece for Fu Xiu Yi. Naturally, Fu Xiu Yi had to eradicate him mercilessly.
Feeding him a mute drug did not necessarily mean that he did not want to kill him, but Fu Xiu Yi was cautious and most likely he was afraid that if he died in the prison, it would raise suspicions.
A bitter smile slowly floated on Shen Yuan's lips. The winner was king and the loser was in the wrong. He knew from the beginning what kind of person Fu Xiu Yi was. Working under Fu Xiu Yi, one should have thought that there might be such a result, but one did not expect that this result would come so quickly.
There seemed to be footsteps in the darkness. Unlike the slightly hurried footsteps of the prison guards, the footsteps were somewhat slow. He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the footsteps, and saw that under the dim light, a purple dress was right in front of him.
Looking up, the young female had a delicate and pretty face as she looked at him with a smile, "Second Older Brother."
Shen Yuan's heart was blocked up.
The moment he saw Shen Miao's face, a strong hatred and unwillingness gushed out from his heart, making Shen Yuan wish that he could kill Shen Miao now.
Even if he did not understand how the matter became like this, there was one thing that Shen Yuan was very clear about. This matter was definitely related to Shen Miao.
