Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Several piles of bones were dug up from the farms of the Zhao family. As the snow grew heavier, the hands of the soldiers digging the pits turned red with cold.

The soil on the ground was frozen hard and it took half a day to dig a layer, so Fang Yao ordered to stop digging.

"Old Prime Minister, to be frank, these bones were dug up for your viewing pleasure. Clearly, we can't dig much in this weather today. Why don't we just stop here? What do you think?"

"I've already seen it. It doesn't have to be dug out in full for it to count," the old prime minister said, sitting there wearily, his eyes closed with a look of dejection on his face. "I want to ask the general and the Marquis of Guanyong for a favor."

"You say."

"I want to know why these two evil creatures acted this way. How could they...? I still can't believe they could become so cruel and ruthless. Could you let me hide in the dark and listen in during the interrogation?"

"This?" Fang Yao and Guan Yonghou looked at each other.

"Old friend, let me be honest with you," Guan Yonghou sighed and said, "Ordinarily, you shouldn't have known about the bones being excavated today. After all, you're their father. If it were someone else, they might be suspected. But the general and I know your character, and we feel that if these two are sentenced to death, you must be given a clear explanation. That's why we asked you to come and see these bones."

"You want to hear it yourself. Actually, I know what you mean. You don't believe what we say. You want to hear them admit it themselves. We are all parents. I understand your feelings. Your request is not impossible to fulfill, but..."

He paused. "Old friend, if we're going to deal with them in secret, then we're going to have to interrogate them in secret. Even if we execute them, for your sake, we won't let anyone know that they also killed the officials' families. We won't let them bring you disaster."

He sighed again. "To be honest, before you came here, I just suggested to the General that we leave this matter to Miss Shen to handle. Since you want to hear the results of the interrogation in person, then ask Miss Shen for her opinion."

The old prime minister turned his gaze to Shen Li.

In fact, he himself knew that the request he made was a bit excessive, but since it concerned his daughters, he really couldn't just wait for news of their death without even giving them a chance to explain?

He said he was going to eavesdrop on the interrogation, but in fact he was also preventing Fang Yao and Shen Li from taking personal revenge.

As he got older, his heart became softer. He was very disappointed with his daughter and felt so upset that he almost suffocated.

Shen Li stood quietly outside, snowflakes fluttering on her face. When the wind blew over, the stench of the corpse had faded a lot.

It was difficult to dig, and the bones underneath were too old to be used as evidence of the crimes of the Zhao family, so my uncle asked the soldiers to stop digging.

Think about how pitiful those innocent souls who died in vain. They came to this world, lived a life of poverty and hardship, and finally ended up dying an untimely death.

Why?

Why can people like the Zhao family kill those poor people at will, and no one gives them justice?

Just because they are born into noble families, can they crush others like crushing ants?

Who gave them the rights?

Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Li, and seeing that she didn't speak, no one pressed her.

She was standing right in the wind's path, and she knew she might be about to go back.

The changes brought about by the space are so obvious, there is no reason for her to pretend not to see it.

After you go back, you may be able to come back at any time, or you may never come back.

This experience was like a long dream. In the dream, she was no longer an orphan and had so many relatives.

Sadness surged in her heart, and she pretended that the wind and sand had blown her eyes and rubbed them.

She was reluctant to leave, but she knew she would definitely leave.

Before leaving, she didn't want to let the Zhaos go.

"Li'er, it's windy there, come inside quickly." Fang Yao felt sorry for her child and called out quickly.

Shen Li walked into the house, came to her uncle, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Fang Yao nodded first, then froze in shock. Then, his eyes widened instantly. There was surprise, curiosity, and a little doubt in his eyes.

All the suspicious eyes were on the old prime minister and Marquis Guan Yong.

The two of them felt uneasy under Fang Yao's gaze. Guan Yonghou was impatient and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at us like that? If you have something to say, just say it. Can you two uncles stop being so secretive?"

Shen Li took two steps back without saying anything.

Fang Yao rolled his eyes several times, then straightened his back and said to the two of them, "Let Li'er and I discuss the matter that the old prime minister just mentioned. We will return to the capital together later. I will tell you the result before entering the city. Please wait for a while."

Still not telling.

He didn't say anything, and Shen Li didn't say anything either.

Guan Yonghou was so curious that he looked back and forth between the uncle and nephew's faces, feeling extremely anxious.

Before returning to the carriage, when Marquis Guan Yong asked Fang Yao in front of the old prime minister, "Aren't you afraid that the prime minister will secretly inform his daughter?"

This sounded a bit offensive, but it also aroused the old prime minister's curiosity.

Fang Yao smiled faintly and said confidently, "Do you think they will have the chance to see outsiders again?"

The fact that he dared to say this proved that the Zhao family had been surrounded by Fang Yao's men like an iron barrel. Not only were they being monitored, but anyone was also prevented from contacting them. Not even a needle could get in.

Even the people around the old prime minister might have followed Fang Yao.

According to Fang Yao's habit of doing things, there will not be any mistakes until the matter is completely resolved.

The old prime minister nodded and was about to get on the carriage when he suddenly saw Shen Li and hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, please go first."

After saying that, he signaled the coachman to lift the curtain and wait for Shen Li to enter.

Shen Li quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. My uncle and I will go back together."

Guan Yonghou became even more curious. There was only one carriage here, belonging to the old prime minister. If Shen Li didn't ride in a carriage, could he ride a horse?

Seeing the old prime minister's carriage slowly start to move, he didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurriedly caught up with him, heading towards the capital together.

It was not until they walked away that Fang Yao looked around. Zhu Yi had already sent all the outsiders far away, and no one could hear their conversation.

"Li'er, are you really going to do this? Have you thought it through?"

Just now Shen Li said that she wanted to use her great teleportation to try to take them to hide in the dark and listen to what the Zhaos said.

Fang Yao was delighted at first, as he could finally feel the shock brought by the great teleportation.

Then doubts began to build again.

It’s okay for him to know about Li’er’s great relocation, but it’s not okay for others to know about it, as he will feel uneasy.

Even though those two people were old acquaintances who had known each other for decades, he still felt that they were not as trustworthy as himself.

Shen Li didn't care about that.

Since she was about to go back and might disappear forever, there were some things and some words that she planned to let her uncle know before she left.

As for Marquis Guanyong and the old prime minister, not only can they be trusted, but even if they are not trustworthy, they dare not risk offending their uncle and speak nonsense.

What's more, this is the safest and most convenient way for them to see the true faces of the Zhao family.

Shen Li nodded, indicating that she had thought it through.
