After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 127 I Want to Hear the Truth

She continued, "Because many people were missing from the village, they went to Wang Da to ask for an explanation. But the next day, Wang Da brought officials to beat and kill the villagers."

"The villagers here were also furious, determined to fight the officials to the death. But who knew... in the end, there were only a few left alive."

After hearing this, Shen Maoshan frowned, thinking that this matter was definitely not as simple as Shen Jinyao said.

This is a massacre of the whole village.

He had never heard of it, which showed that there was someone above him who could cover the sky with one hand.

It seems that I can’t go to the county government office anymore.

You can only go to the state capital.

He had heard of the prefect of the provincial capital before, and he was considered the prefect appointed by the emperor.

I think it would be better to go find him.

He said, "In that case, let's go to the provincial capital and find Lord Li."

At this time, Shen Mingshan, who had been silent, spoke.

He glanced at Shen Maoshan meaningfully and said, "Second brother, what if we go to the provincial government and the men in black come to kill us?"

Shen Maoshan didn't say anything.

Shen Congshan waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? It's impossible. That's the emperor..."

Having said this, Shen Congshan did not continue.

What if the person who wants their lives happens to be the emperor?

Even if he no longer asked about court affairs, he could still understand this logic.

At this time, the carriage was unusually quiet.

Shen Maoshan didn't have any ideas. If the suspicious emperor really wanted to take their lives, then no matter what he did, he would die.

"will not!"

At this time, Shen Jinyao's cold voice broke the silence.

Shen Congshan felt a little uncomfortable. Even if Shen Jinyao saved them, she shouldn't be so arrogant.

He said angrily, "How do you know it won't happen? What if it's another wolf den?"

Shen Jinyao didn't care about Shen Congshan's attitude, after all, he was still an elder.

When he was in the Shen family before, he didn't even care much about his own children, let alone her?

She remembered Qiuju saying that in the Shen family, the one who valued rules the most was not the old lady, nor the marquis or his wife.

Instead it was my great-grandfather Shen Congshan.

What he said most often was that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

It's just that he doesn't have a daughter, so he always interferes with the affairs of his second and third wives' daughters.

Shen Jinyao spent more time lying in bed because she heard less advice from Shen Congshan.

Shen Jinyao understood that for such a pedantic person, it was already the limit for her to keep talking for such a long time.

She continued, "When we were in Shangzhou, we were followed by the Jinyiwei."

As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage fell silent again.

Isn’t it the emperor’s intention that the Jinyiwei follow the Shen family?

What does the emperor want to do?

Want to kill them?

That’s not right. If that were the case, why would he just issue an imperial decree? Why would he be exiled?

Besides, Shen Jinyao is still here, which means that the emperor doesn’t want to kill them.

After figuring this out, Shen Maoshan felt suddenly enlightened.

Shen Zhizheng thought for a moment and asked, "How did Jin'er know that he was from the Imperial Guard?"

Shen Jinyao said: "At that time, I was at the border between Shangzhou and Jinzhou, where I set up an ambush and saw Pan Ye, the commander of the Jinyiwei, with my own eyes."

"When he saw me, he left without saying anything. I never saw them again on the rest of the road."

Shen Zhizheng: "You mean, they only followed us to Shangzhou?"

Shen Jinyao glanced at Shen Zhizheng. As expected of the top scholar, he had grasped the crux of the matter.

When everyone saw Shen Jinyao nod, they thought about it in their minds again.

Shen Maoshan finally made the decision, "In that case, let's go to the provincial capital and find Lord Li."

Several people nodded, but Shen Mingshan said, "Jin'er, you should go back tomorrow."

Although Shen Jinyao just said that there are many people with martial arts skills in their team now, they still can't feel at ease.

Shen Jinyao said, "Uncle San, I'll send you to the provincial capital and then go back. Don't worry about Grandmother and Aunt San. The people left behind are fine."

After hearing what Shen Jinyao said, the others also felt relieved.

At this time, Ota and Ota finally came back, and they had a simple dinner.

During the night rest period, Shen Jinyao, Shen Zhizheng, Datian and Xiaotian kept watch while Shen Maoshan and the other two rested.

Shen Jinyao looked at the sleeping Shen Maoshan. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Shen Maoshan seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Maybe he still has many secrets in his heart?

She felt that she didn't care about anything else, she just needed to figure out one thing.

What Shen Jinyao didn't know was that Shen Maoshan and others were also thinking about Shen Jinyao.

I don’t understand why a person who has been bedridden for many years can become so powerful.

After learning martial arts, her mind became much more profound, and even her thoughts were no longer like those of a little girl.

It’s just that the four people in the Shen family have slightly different attitudes towards Shen Jinyao.

Because his daughter was always sick, Shen Maoshan attributed her deterioration to family changes.

Because Shen Mingshan has always been fond of his niece, he thought that her changes were just something she was enduring, but in fact she was also very fragile inside.

Shen Congshan strongly opposed Shen Jinyao's change, but he couldn't say anything.

He just felt that perhaps Shen Jinyao was such a rebellious woman at heart.

Only Shen Zhizheng was puzzled.

I can’t figure out why Shen Jinyao has changed so much.

After just one day of contact, he felt that the woman in front of him was not at all like his sister Jin'er...

"Brother, eat more. Father and the others will need your help in taking care of them."

Shen Jinyao saw that Shen Zhizheng was always looking at her. Although she didn't know what he meant, she could roughly guess.

"Grandma and my great aunt have always missed you. Your brothers and sisters are becoming more and more obedient, and they are just waiting for us to be reunited soon."

"And uncle, has your leg injury recurred? I brought some plasters, and I'll let my brother apply them to you when the time comes."

"Father, Mother told you not to worry too much, or your previous headache will come back."

"Uncle San, Le Yao is still waiting for the crystal rabbit you gave her. Please take good care of it."

After listening to this, Shen Congshan, Shen Maoshan and Shen Mingshan all smiled and nodded.

Shen Zhizheng also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. This must be the real Sister Jin'er, otherwise how could she know so many details.

As for why Shen Jinyao became like this?

Hasn't he changed too?

Where is the trace of the elegant young man and the top scholar in him?

Shen Jinyao noticed that the questioning looks on her had finally decreased a lot, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After two days of travel, they finally arrived at the state capital.

Shen Jinyao paid some silver and met Lord Li.

Finally, when Shen Jinyao was about to leave, she found Shen Maoshan.

"Father, I know you are hiding something from me. But I only want to know one thing."

"Did you participate in the party struggle and betray the country?"

"I want to hear the truth."
