Zhang Bo was sobbing as he spoke: "Our old marquis has spent his entire military life and made great contributions to North Vietnam, but you just wiped it out with a single sentence from your majesty..."
"If the late emperor were still alive, he would never treat the old marquis like this..."
"Your Majesty said that the Nine Thousand Year Old Man and the Young Lady and Young Master were plotting a rebellion together, but have they ever done anything to offend North Vietnam? They are escaping now, but it is only because they are forced by the current Majesty..."
Shen Ming's expression turned grim: "Uncle Zhang, be careful with your words."
Uncle Zhang wiped his tears and said, "Master, please persuade the old marquis to eat something! He is starving himself to death..."
Shen Ming nodded: "I understand, Uncle Zhang, you should go back and rest!"
After Uncle Zhang left, Shen Ming looked at his grandfather lying on the bed and asked softly, "Grandfather, since there is no place for you in North Vietnam, are you willing to go to Xining with your grandson? Nanxing is still waiting for you."
Old Lord Shen just shook his head and said nothing.
Shen Ming: "Then can you please take your medicine and eat your meal obediently?"
Old Lord Shen didn't say anything either.
Shen Ming sighed, "Grandfather, if you don't want to eat, I'll have no choice but to go without food too. Let's starve to death together in this mansion, and save ourselves the trouble of moving."
Old Marquis Shen finally turned around and glared at him. "When you return to Xining, you still have to protect your sister... If that brat Fu Jiuli bullies her in the future, she still has you as her brother..."
Shen Ming turned his head away and ignored him.
Lord Shen: "......"
Half an hour later.
Lord Shen: "...Serve the meal."
After watching his grandfather finish his meal, take his medicine and go to sleep, Shen Ming asked Uncle Zhang to take good care of him, then disguised himself and left the mansion.
The Nanyang Marquis's Mansion now only has the elderly grandfather left, and yet Your Majesty is determined to seize power and wealth, demonstrating his narrow-mindedness. So, what about the Duke's Mansion?
Although the old Duke is no longer with us, we still have three sons in their prime, as well as grandchildren...
Shen Ming walked on the street, thinking all the way, and prepared to go to the Duke's Mansion to see the situation.
Suddenly, my attention was drawn by a voice from the side of the road.
"Sir, my master wants to do something big. What are his chances of success?"
Shen Ming's brows furrowed and he immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
He recognized at a glance that the person who spoke was a servant of the Duke's Mansion. He had seen this person before when he went to the Duke's Mansion for dinner with his sister.
Because the man had a dark face and a big black mole on his left cheek, even though I had only seen him once, I still had some impression of him.
The servant said this to a fortune teller who was setting up a stall to tell fortunes. As he said this, he stuffed a gold ingot into the fortune teller's pocket.
The fortune teller put the gold ingot into his sleeve and asked mysteriously, "Who is your master?"
The servant also lowered his voice: "My master is Xu Shenzhi, the third son of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the current Zhenguo Duke."
"Please calculate it carefully, sir. If you succeed, my master will reward you handsomely!"
Although these words were spoken in a low voice, Shen Ming heard every word.
Shen Ming's heart tightened, and then he heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from afar, and his expression suddenly changed.
It's a trap!
He reacted immediately, quickly approached, picked up the fortune teller and the servant in each hand, and left the place immediately.
The next moment, a team of Jinyiwei flew here on horseback.
But all he saw was an empty fortune-telling stall, with no one there.
The leading Jinyiwei lifted a man by the collar and said, "Didn't you report that someone was about to commit a crime here? Where is he?"
The man trembled in fear: "Run...run!"
"Chase!" The sound of horse hooves rang out again, and the Jinyiwei went away along the street.
After Shen Ming heard these words in the dark, cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
If I hadn't just passed by here, after this incident, the Duke's Mansion would have been accused of treason... The consequences would be unimaginable!
After pondering for a moment, he carried the two unconscious people on his shoulders, climbed over the wall into the Duke's Mansion to avoid being seen, and fortunately found Duke Xu in the study.
Xu Guogong was busy handling official business and had not rested for a whole day and night.
Seeing Shen Ming coming, he happily stood up from behind the desk: "Beiyue, why are you back?"
When he saw the two people Shen Ming had thrown in front of him, he immediately frowned: "Isn't this Hei Fu? And who is this person? Bei Yue, why did you bring them here?"
Shen Ming frowned and told Duke Xu everything he had just seen and heard, in detail.
Duke Xu's face turned pale, and he faltered as he sat down on a chair. "This...you mean, someone is trying to accuse the Duke's Mansion of treason?"
Shen Ming: "The pair of people coming from behind are the Jinyiwei."
Duke Xu's lips were pale and trembling. "No, impossible! How could Your Majesty do this? Our Duke's Mansion has been loyal ministers for generations and has never had any other thoughts..."
Shen Ming looked at the two people lying on the ground: "If you don't believe me, you can torture them."
Duke Xu stood up with trembling hands and said, "Come here, tie up these two men. I will torture them myself!"
The trusted guards who were guarding outside came in and dragged the man away. Duke Xu turned around and asked, "Beiyue, do you want to go with your uncle..."
Shen Ming said "hmm" and followed Duke Xu silently.
Shen Ming originally relied on his own efforts to get the position of Prime Minister of Donglai. He was very good at torturing prisoners. With his assistance, the two men confessed in a short time.
Duke Xu gasped for breath, his eyes filled with deep fear: "Beiyue, thank you for what happened today... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
"We are a family, uncle, you don't have to be polite." Shen Ming pondered for a moment and said, "But since His Majesty has already made up his mind to get rid of the Duke's Mansion, if this plan fails, there must be another plan..."
Duke Xu sighed deeply, tears welling in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Ming suggested: "Now that Fu Jiuli has ascended the throne in Xining, and Nanxing is the queen. Since North Vietnam is no longer safe, why don't you consider taking your family to Xining?"
Duke Xu was stunned for a moment: "But..."
"Uncle, the Nanyang Marquisate and the Zhenguo Duke's House have always been loyal to His Majesty. If His Majesty trusts you, your nephew will naturally not persuade you to leave."
"But now His Majesty no longer trusts you and only wants to get rid of you all. With such a Majesty... do you really want to sacrifice yourself for him in vain?"
Duke Xu was silent for a moment, then said decisively, "Okay, wait until your uncle comes back today, and I'll discuss this with him."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After Shen Ming returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he told the old Marquis Shen what he had seen and heard today.
Ten days later, both the Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion agreed to Shen Ming's suggestion and moved their families to Xining.
During these days, Shen Ming has been running around and finally persuaded the old doctor couple and his father from the Nether Valley to move to Xining together.
At the same time, he used Fu Jiuli's face to persuade all parties in the East Factory to provide support and cover, and the group finally left North Vietnam in a mighty and quiet manner.
