A dream ends life

There was chaos in the Taifu Mansion. Gu Qi brought the officers from the Dali Temple to forcibly take away Xu Zhinian and Xu Qingyun, father and son.

Xu ordered the guards in the mansion to kidnap the person, but this time Gu Qi had the emperor's order in his hand, so the guards did not dare to act on their own.

Watching her brother and nephew being taken away, Xu's eyes turned red.

"Why hasn't Han'er come back yet? What on earth is he doing? People are bullying him right at his doorstep, and he's just standing there and watching!"

Tears welled up in Mrs. Xu's eyes, and she hated her son Luo Han.

Her nephew's cry for help was still echoing in her ears. Xu Zhinian had become a disabled person, and he was being carried away by them. Her brother!

Housekeeper Yu shook his head. What was going on? Such a big thing happened at home, and the master hadn't returned from the palace yet. No wonder Xu's tone was resentful.

The decisions made by the young emperor were all approved by adults, and the imperial edicts in Gu Qi's hand might have been issued under adults' noses. Adults should have known this a long time ago, and this was a tacit approval of the Dali Temple to do so!

He didn't know whether Xu Zhinian killed anyone or not, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would never let the father and son go, and their lives might not be saved.

Here, Xu Zhinian and his son were thrown into prison for interrogation, and the Shi family was blocked at the door by the Grand Princess and her men.

Shi En led the Shi family to kneel in the courtyard, but the huge crowd was unusually quiet.

Shi En said, "I don't know what the Grand Princess is doing today. Although my Shi family is a merchant, we have always been law-abiding and have never done anything illegal. Please let the Grand Princess know."

His Shi family is not easy to bully. Even if a princess who had been married to a foreign prince for many years came to their house, they still had to give him an explanation.

The eldest princess glanced at the Shi family members kneeling in front of her, and her eyes fell on Shi Yuyan.

Shi Yuyan felt very nervous, wondering if she had done anything to offend the Grand Princess recently.

The eldest princess was full of momentum, and after a long time she slowly spoke: "The Shi family abides by the law? I don't know whose law they abide by. They actually dare to do such petty thefts in my Dongyong Shangjing City, but they say they are good citizens. It's ridiculous!"

Shi En was startled and looked up at her, "When did my Shi family ever do that? Princess, please don't spit blood at us!"

The eldest princess waved her hand, and the armored soldiers behind her pushed out two people from behind.

One was a young girl dressed in maid's clothes. Although she was being held hostage, her eyes were fixed on the young man next to her.

The man was in his twenties, with a fair face and very attractive facial features. He was wearing a coarse cloth short trousers and a long coat.

When Shi Yuyan saw the two of them, her eyebrows twitched and she had a bad premonition.

Although Shi En did not recognize the two men, he recognized the clothes the men were wearing. This was the uniform of the male servants in their Shi family.

His long experience in the business world told him that if something went wrong, it must be something big.

The eldest princess looked at the faces of the Shi family, snorted in her heart, and looked at Shi Yuyan with an ambiguous look.

Shi Yuyan was indeed shocked just now, but she returned to normal soon after.

The young man is a smart guy and I believe he knows what to say. Even if we take a step back and say that he admitted something, so what?

Even if Su asks the eldest princess to come forward, there must be solid evidence. What's more, it's just competition between shops. The worst that can happen is to cut off the tail and survive. It's no big deal.

Zhao Xiaosi spoke first: "Princess, it was the eldest lady of the Shi family who asked the young man to trick me into stealing the sketch. I was deceived by them. Princess, please arrest them all!"

The young man closed his eyes, he regretted it. If he could go back on time, he would definitely stay away from this Zhao Xiaosi, what a fool!

The eldest princess said, "Miss Shi, do you have anything to say?"

Shi Yuyan's face was calm: "Princess, I don't recognize them, and I don't understand what they are saying."

Zhao Xiaosi was furious: "You are still playing tricks. It was clearly you who asked the boy to cheat my master of the sketch. Why don't you admit it?"

Shi Yuyan didn't even look at her, she just looked at the Grand Princess and said, "My Shi family has many shops, and it is inevitable that there will be some careless servants who bully their masters and do things that will bring shame to my Shi family's reputation. I ask the Grand Princess to investigate these two people and restore my Shi family's innocence."

The young man's face turned pale. He knew what Shi Yuyan meant and felt sad.

The Grand Princess would not listen to her nonsense, and she didn't care even if Shi Yuyan was eloquent.

She was here to arrest people, not to try a case. "This is about the Empress Dowager. Take away all the male leaders of the Shi family. In addition, the eldest daughter of the Shi family will be taken to the Dali Temple prison!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Shi family, who had been calm just now, changed their expressions. There was an uproar below, and no one understood what was going on.

Shi En wanted to ask what the Empress Dowager had to do with this, but the Grand Princess did not give them a chance. The armored guards rushed forward and arrested everyone who should be arrested.

There were more than twenty men from the Shi family present. Shi En was the first one to be pushed out of the Shi family's gate, followed by everyone else from the Shi family.

Shi Yuyan walked in the middle, with her hands and feet shackled, and the group was driven to the Dali Temple.

This behavior was not very lethal but extremely insulting. When had the Shi family, who were always successful in Shangjing City, ever been so embarrassed?

People were whispering, wondering what terrible mistake the Shi family had made to make them grab so many household registration books. Was the Shi family's empire about to collapse?

Passing by a restaurant, Shi Yuyan suddenly saw Su Ci sitting upstairs and looking at her through the window, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Su Ci picked up the teacup in his hand, raised it in the air, and then took a sip.

Shi Yuyan gritted her teeth, Su!

You think you can defeat me like this? Dream on!

As long as she can get through this crisis safely, she must make Su know how powerful she is!

Su Ci didn't care about her hatred. After today, no matter what the Shi family did, all the difficulties in her shop would be solved!

I believe that those businessmen who are watching from the sidelines will know what to choose next!

This is a signal, a sign that the Shi family is unstable!

The Grand Princess drove in front in her carriage and personally sent the Shi family members to prison. They were not even brought to court, and all the Shi family members were thrown into prison.

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was investigating the murder case of Prince Wu at a swift pace and had no time to care about the Shi family. He could only detain them first and try them later.

Shi Yuyan didn't panic until she saw the prison door.

She was an unmarried girl, and if she went to jail today, the rest of her life would be over! She didn't want to go in.

She struggled to break free from the guards who were escorting her and ran forward. When she was almost close to the Grand Princess, she was stopped by a long sword.

"Princess, I have something to say. I am innocent. My Shi family has been framed. Please investigate. If you can clear my Shi family's name, my Shi family will definitely reward you generously."

There was no movement in the Grand Princess's carriage, which moved slowly forward.

Shi Yuyan was stunned and completely at a loss this time. What was going on? What method did the Su family use to bring out the Grand Princess to deal with them? What was going on!

"I want to see Su Ci! I want to see Su Ci!"
