Chapter 408 The imperial edict arrives
Shen Shaotang didn't notice anything at all, she was just very desperate and in pain.
Her mother killed her father and elder brother. She personally sent her mother to her death, and a good family was gone just like that.
The surroundings were as silent as a mouse, and everyone could feel the low pressure emanating from Song Qingqiu.
Yuan Junyao could sense his unhappiness even through the screen, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What's wrong with Song Qingqiu? Shouldn't you be happy to have a clue?"
Shen Shaoyu shook his head and said, "I have people arranged outside the mansion. Yang Jiaoyue will definitely not allow the two people who are keeping watch at the mourning hall to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion any longer."
Yuan Junyao immediately understood what he meant and raised an eyebrow as she asked, "So, those two people will fall into your hands?"
"Yeah." Shen Shaoyu responded softly, continuing to stare at the screen.
"What if those two refuse to confess?"
Shen Shaoyu glanced at her sideways and asked, "If you were Yang Jiaoyue, what would you do?"
Yuan Junyao's eyes turned and she understood what Shen Shaoyu meant. She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Kill him to silence him."
These two people helped Yang Jiaoyue commit murder and arson, which was equivalent to Yang Jiaoyue having a handle in their hands.
Can Yang Jiaoyue still let these two people leave the Prime Minister's Mansion alive?
That's definitely not possible.
Shen Shaoyu said calmly, "So, if these two were to be silenced, would they still keep their mouths shut for Yang Jiaoyue?"
Yuan Junyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Of course not."
"Sir, Li Quan is missing."
The silence in the space lasted for a long time until the missing person officer came to report, breaking the silence.
Jiuhua had been kneeling on the ground, and his initial fear had turned into calmness.
Most of the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were here, but Li Quan was missing.
Song Qingqiu narrowed his sharp eyes and looked at Yang Jiaoyue coldly.
Yang Jiaoyue is still in a coma.
The nanny beside her noticed Song Qingqiu's gaze, and a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy old eyes.
Fortunately, my wife was well prepared, otherwise Li Quan would probably be dead now.
Song Qingqiu gave another order: "Investigate to see if anyone else is missing from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Yes, my lord."
The officer took the order and withdrew, and began to count the number of people.
During this period, Shen Shaotang was still kneeling on the ground with a wooden expression, and his pale little face was heartbreaking to look at.
Song Qingqiu pursed her lips and said comfortingly, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry."
Shen Shaotang seemed to be unable to hear what he said. There was no anxiety in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
"Shen Shaotang's condition is a little off."
Yuan Junyao looked at her and sighed, "I hope she won't do anything stupid. After all, you and your father are still alive."
Shen Shaoyu stared at the person on the screen and said expressionlessly, "If she knew that Shen Wenyu and I were not dead, and that she had personally sent her mother to prison, she would probably be even more unable to live."
Yuan Junyao thought about it and felt that it was very cruel. She couldn't help but say, "Shen Shaotang is still a good person. She deserves a better ending."
There was a slight fluctuation in Shen Shaoyu's calm eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.
"Sir, there's another person named Zhao Zhonggui missing from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Ah."
Song Qingqiu responded, then frowned. His thoughts were in a mess and he even forgot the current progress of the investigation.
Just as I was thinking about it, a shrill chorus came from afar.
"The imperial edict arrives——"
The imperial edict came at this time.
Song Qingqiu stood up first, glanced down at Shen Shaotang, then looked at everyone and said, "Let's receive the imperial edict first."
It was Eunuch Zhao who came in person, which shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.
Eunuch Zhao had a gloomy expression on his face, and his expression represented the emperor's expression.
"Master Song, is there any progress in the case?"
Song Qingqiu said coldly, "I will report back to the emperor later."
Eunuch Zhao nodded, looked away, and asked loudly, "Where are the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion? Come out and receive the order."
Shen Shaozhe could only bring Shen Shaorou here first, followed closely by Shen Shaotang. Yang Jiaoyue was still in a coma.
When Eunuch Zhao learned about this, he said in a cold tone, "Where's the doctor? Wake him up."
The emperor's edict is very pleasing to the people. How could Yang be unconscious? She must listen to him read it in person to feel relieved.
If the young general really died, Yang would never feel relieved even if she cut him into pieces.
She will be the sinner of the entire Beiming Kingdom!!
Song Qingqiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Shen Shaotang.
Shen Shaotang was daydreaming at the moment and seemed unable to hear what the people around her were saying, so she had not yet come to her senses.
The doctor came hurriedly with his head down, and immediately gave Yang Jiaoyue an injection to wake her up. Seeing this, the nanny gritted her teeth in hatred, but could do nothing.
Yang Jiaoyue frowned and cried out in pain, which showed that the doctor had been very ruthless.
"Madam, madam, are you okay?" The nanny was heartbroken.
"Since Madam is awake, please kneel down and receive the imperial edict."
Eunuch Zhao didn't give her any time to breathe.
Yang Jiaoyue was forced to kneel down. When she came to her senses, Eunuch Zhao had already begun reading the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My beloved minister, Shen Shaoyu, my beloved minister, a national hero, the backbone of the nation, has disappeared within the mourning hall of the Prime Minister's Residence. I am furious upon hearing this. All members of the Prime Minister's Residence shall be punished for dereliction of duty and imprisoned in the Dali Temple. If any loyal minister dies, all shall be buried with him. This is my decree!"
Eunuch Zhao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was filled with anger.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was shocked.
Yang Jiaoyue's face turned from ashen to pale, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Shen Shaorou sobbed and cried, saying in panic: "Why should we be buried with you? Why should we give... wuwuwu..."
The nanny beside her immediately covered her mouth.
We must not anger Eunuch Zhao again at this time, otherwise if he is reported, he will be imprisoned or beheaded.
Shen Shaozhe had already lost all hope and just slowly closed his eyes, accepting this reality.
Ever since he was hit last time, he lost all his fighting spirit and even the motivation to live.
"This is all fate..."
Shen Shaotang just said this with an expressionless face.
So even if she didn't come forward to accuse him, she would still die today.
Song Qingqiu turned to look at her and said, "I will report the truth to the emperor and spare you from imprisonment."
Shen Shaotang didn't reply, but simply knelt down and said, "Sir Song, can I go back to the courtyard and write a letter to my grandparents?"
Song Qingqiu said: "Well, go ahead."
"Thank you, sir." Shen Shaotang left with his head lowered.
Eunuch Zhao handed the imperial edict to Song Qingqiu, then turned and left.
Song Qingqiu watched Shen Shaotang's departing back expressionlessly. Without his orders, the officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple had already taken control of all the members of the Shen family.
Yang Jiaoyue, Shen Shaozhe, Shen Shaorou, and their personal servants.
