Chapter 205, This Concubine Wants to Be Cool③
This old man's name is Uncle Liu, and he is a confidant sent out by Lord Liu.
This confidant is not in the Liu family all year round, so when something happens to the Liu family, he is lucky enough to survive.
But when something happened to his master, Uncle Liu couldn't really ignore it, so he quietly came to the capital.
He just arrived today and met his young lady. It's a relief.
You must know that the descendants of the Liu family were exiled and slaves. None of them was spared.
Uncle Liu was lucky enough to meet Liu Jinyi, so he was naturally very happy.
He said to Shuyan, "Miss, how did you escape?"
He just thought that his young lady had escaped. After asking, he quickly looked out the window for fear of being discovered.
Shu Yanshang frowned and said, "I, I was originally taken to a brothel, and then bought and presented to the regent. I sneaked out to take a look at it when I had free time at night."
When Uncle Liu heard this, he felt very distressed.
He burst into tears and said, "This old slave is incompetent and has made you suffer."
Uncle Liu had followed Mr. Liu when he was young, and he naturally regarded the Liu family as his relatives. Now when he heard that Liu Jinyi had fallen into a brothel and was sacrificed to Teng Wuzhe, he felt heartbroken.
Lord Shuyan comforted him and said, "Don't cry yet. I came out this time mainly to help dad reverse the case. You'd better tell me everything you know."
Uncle Liu wiped his tears and said, "I don't know much about this matter, but I know that your Excellency will definitely not collaborate with the enemy and treason."
Mr. Liu was originally the Minister of Household Affairs. Although he was not very smooth, at least he was serious about his career.
Liu Bo didn't believe in charges of treason like that.
However, there was civil strife in the imperial court some time ago, and the princes would do anything to seize the throne.
And Master Liu was naturally charged because of his relationship with the regicide prince.
However, the Liu family's crime was not regicide, but collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
The crime of collaborating with the enemy was discovered by King Mingqing who had just arrived in Beijing. So Liu Bo didn’t know very clearly.
Then Prince Mingqing was still the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of the late prince.
King Mingqing came to Beijing earlier than Teng Wuzhe. Therefore, he was the one who found out the evidence of the Liu family's crimes and punished the Liu family.
When Lord Shuyan heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Where did King Mingqing come from?" Why was he able to get evidence of the Liu family's collaboration with the enemy as soon as he came to Beijing?
Uncle Liu shook his head, "I was still in a foreign country at that time and didn't know much about this matter."
However, it is indeed doubtful that King Mingqing could find evidence of the Liu family's crimes as soon as he came to the capital.
The face of the book also feels very suspicious.
It is impossible for a prince who came to Beijing not long after the death of the late emperor to say that he did not care about the throne.
But what does his desire to be emperor have to do with the Liu family?
Could it be for meritorious service? To win the hearts of the people?
Uncle Liu was also surprised, "But this King Mingqing has nothing to do with our Liu family in the past. Moreover, he has a good reputation in the court. Before anything happened to the Liu family, he had always been in the fiefdom, so how could he harm the master?"
Shuyan went to the gods and said, "That's not right."
In fact, you can reach out to the capital in a fiefdom.
Moreover, as soon as something happened to the prince, King Mingqing would attack the Liu family. If he said he was innocent, God Shuyan would not believe it.
Think about it, if he hates the prince, he can take the Liu family into his pocket and use it for him.
But he didn't. He dealt with the Liu family and several other officials as soon as the prince's accident happened, which means that those people may be his subordinates.
However, if they were really his men, they should not be silenced.
That can only show that the Liu family has some handle on King Mingqing. So he simply stopped doing nothing and directly silenced the Liu family.
Well, the more God Shuyan thinks about it, the more he is right.
She was already certain that King Mingqing was the key to harming the Liu family.
But, what evidence does the Liu family have about King Mingqing?
Could it be evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason?
The system nodded, "It's very possible."
Shu Yanshangshen said, "I think so."
Uncle Liu was immediately frightened when she mentioned it, "If it is really King Mingqing, then the young lady should run away with the old slave."
Otherwise, if King Mingqing knew that she had slipped through the net, he would definitely kill her.
Shuyan Shangshen waved his hands and said, "If that's true, I can't leave." Once I leave, I will die faster.
She said to Liu Bo, "In this case, you go back to your hometown first. Since you don't know about this, don't get involved anymore. Leave the rest to me."
Uncle Liu said worriedly, "How can that be done? How can I leave you alone, old slave?"
Lord Shuyan comforted him and said, "As long as you are safe, that is the greatest help to me. I am living in the Regent's Mansion now, which is safer, so you'd better leave quickly."
Uncle Liu analyzed the pros and cons and felt that she was right.
He really couldn't bring her down, so he left overnight.
Shuyan Shangshen waited for him to leave, then made his face look ugly, and then quietly returned to the palace.
The system asked her, "What are you going to do next?"
Shu Yan went to God and said, "Go to the regent and ask him to solve it."
After that, he walked straight to Teng Wuzhe's house.
However, there were guards outside his yard, and as soon as she approached, the two knives were barricaded in front of her.
"Girl, please stay."
Lord Shuyan said to them, "I'm looking for your prince, please help inform me."
The two guards looked at each other and then went in to report.
When Teng Wuzhe heard his subordinate's return, he said, "Oh?" and said, "Let her come in."
After Shuyan Shangshen entered, he blessed his body and directly explained his purpose.
"Your Majesty, I have new news. Do you want to hear it?"
Teng Wuzhe sat leisurely on a chair, polishing his sword, and said in a leisurely tone, "Tell me and listen."
Lord Shuyan lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. Her name is Liu Jinyi."
"Everyone in the world says that my Liu family is collaborating with the enemy and treason, but it is Prince Mingqing who really collaborates with the enemy and treason. I hope that the prince can take down Prince Mingqing and restore my Liu family's innocence."
Teng Wuzhe's sword-wiping hand paused slightly, as if he had heard some joke, "Do you have any evidence that Prince Qing is treason?"
"If you slander the prince without evidence, you will be beheaded."
Shuyan Shangshen took a step forward and said, "The Nu family has no evidence, but as long as the prince is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to find evidence."
What you say is scoundrel and flattery.
But Teng Wuzhe remained unmoved.
He wiped the sword and said with a sneer, "You asked me to help you, but what reward did you get? If there is no reward, why should I help you?"
Lord Shuyan couldn't believe it and said, "King Mingqing betrayed the imperial court. If the prince captures him, wouldn't it mean that he is helping the imperial court."
Since they are helping their own country, what kind of remuneration do they need? Really.
Teng Wuzhe heard it funny. He glanced at her with fox eyes, raised his thin lips and said, "You have said all the good things. If I don't help you, it would be unpatriotic."
Lord Shuyan chuckled and said, "That's not true. You are wise, powerful and upright. No one in this dynasty knows about it."
Teng Wuzhe obviously doesn't appreciate this flattery.
But this woman was more interesting than he thought.
Teng Wuzhe looked at her playfully, "Since you want to vindicate the Liu family, then show your justice."
