Chapter 830 The one who sends you on your way!
Two days later, after a thorough investigation, Prime Minister Qin finally found evidence.
Two old ministers who participated in setting the questions committed suicide at home. Another person wanted to surrender himself but was killed on his way out of the house.
But even so, there are so many people involved in this case that it is not something that can be resolved by simply silencing them.
Prime Minister Qin found the authentic paintings that had been pawned in Jinglou as fakes in the homes of two old ministers who participated in setting the question, and he also discovered that the two had private financial transactions with Xiao Yuncheng.
According to one of them, when he first received the painting, he really thought it was a fake, so he accepted it without thinking too much.
But not long after, Xiao Yuncheng sent someone to find him and said that the painting he exhibited in public was indeed the real thing.
He was anxious to distance himself from the matter and wanted to return the painting.
However, Xiao Yuncheng said that the same was true for several porcelain bottles, jade articles, calligraphy and paintings in his mansion. Some of the items could be returned, but some of them he had either given away or displayed in public.
It's simply impossible to make everything clear.
In the end, under Xiao Yuncheng's coercion and inducement, he agreed.
It has to be said that Xiao Yuncheng's bribery methods were extremely sophisticated, and he had unknowingly internalized several court officials.
After all, although scholars and men of letters may not necessarily value gold and silver, most of them are pretentious. Xiao Yuncheng catered to their tastes and, by finding some leverage over them, he was able to win them over to his camp.
Prime Minister Qin secretly reported the evidence to Emperor Qianwu.
Emperor Qianwu was heartbroken and disappointed. He found a fault and demoted Xiao Yuncheng to a prince, abolishing his status as a prince. However, he managed to keep the matter secret for him.
Shen Shuyi leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Is there any news from Tong Guan?"
Agate shook his head: "Nothing else. Oh, by the way, it's just that His Majesty has recently invited the imperial physician three times and seems to be in poor health."
"Imperial physician?" Shen Shuyi frowned.
In his previous life, Emperor Qianwu was seriously injured during the autumn hunt, and since then, his health has been much worse than before.
But in this life, when his uncle rescued him, his injuries were not serious. Could it be that, even so, he was still seriously injured?
"Have him keep an eye on His Majesty's health. If he can get a prescription from the Imperial Hospital, that would be even better. If not, the priority is to ensure his own safety."
"Yes."
After Agate stepped back, Shen Shu began to measure.
Emperor Qianwu was good at fighting when he was young and was extremely brave. But because he was young, he healed his injuries very quickly. Could it be that he was seriously injured at that time?

At this moment, Li Tiancai had just reached the outskirts of the capital when he realized that there were several people following him in a mysterious manner.
Li Tian thought that they were just people sent by Xiao Tingshan to protect him, and he couldn't help but shook his head.
Unexpectedly, he is quite considerate.
It's a pity that his sister died early, causing him to suffer a lot over the years.
Li Tian ignored them until he noticed that these people were getting closer and closer. When they reached a certain place, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "I'd like to trouble you to protect me along the way. Please also tell my nephew that the journey is long and there is no need to see him off."
As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, several men in black appeared in the dark.
Chen Zhong covered his face with a black scarf and said in a deep voice: "Do it!"
The next moment, a group of people drew their weapons and rushed towards Li Tian. Li Tian's face turned grim and he immediately drew his sword.
"Who are you!"
"The one who sent you to death!" Chen Zhong shouted angrily.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and roars of sword energy, fallen leaves were scattered, and birds and beasts flew away.
"You are Xiao Tingshan's people!" Li Tian's face was gloomy. He soon realized that most of the people in this group had the same aura as the people who followed him last time.
But he couldn't understand why he wanted to kill himself when he had just saved Xiao Tingshan's life!
Chen Zhong flew up with a long sword, a cold light flashed: "You know too much!"
Li Tian was annoyed and angry, but still insisted on getting an answer: "Why!"
Chen Zhongke had no interest in answering him. He only knew that Li Tian must die today, otherwise, he would not be able to stay by the Sixth Prince's side.
In a flash, a handful of medicinal powder flew over. Li Tian quickly held his breath, but because he was not expecting it, he was still a step late.
Li Tian slowed down his movements and turned around to escape.
Chen Zhong chased after him and slashed at Li Tian's lower back with a long sword.
Li Tian stumbled and fell to the ground. The next moment, Chen Zhong roared, "Bring the mace!"
Another man in black threw a Kanglong mace from a distance, and Chen Zhong caught it swiftly. Then, the Kanglong mace pierced Li Tian's back from behind.
Li Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were about to burst, and he fell to the ground.
Chen Zhong stepped forward and stepped on his back.
Li Tian's eyes were about to burst, his hands tightly grasped the dust on the ground, and he spoke with difficulty: "Why...?"
He really didn't know that he had only met his nephew twice, and that he had traveled thousands of miles back to the Li tribe to lobby the elders of the tribe for the mother-child Gu to prolong his life.
But he actually wanted to kill himself!
Haha, ridiculous…really ridiculous!
Chen Zhong squatted down and sneered: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, Your Highness has lofty ambitions, but unfortunately, you and the Li clan are not sensible enough, so you can only die in Kyoto."
Li Tian's eyes were dazed, but he finally understood.
What Xiao Tingshan wants is the Li clan... He wants the Li clan to work for him... Hahahaha!
Unexpectedly, he traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to save a white-eyed wolf!
Ridiculous, really ridiculous!
Li Tian’s laughter gradually faded away, and he stared with his eyes wide open, completely out of breath.
"Sir, what's the situation now?" a subordinate asked.
Chen Zhong said: "Let's go first. When someone finds the body, report it to the authorities. Then we will go to the government office to identify the body!"
"Yes."
Chen Zhong waved the Kanglong Mace in his hand for a while, but he felt that he was not used to it. It was heavy and not flexible enough, but it was powerful enough to kill with one strike.
He threw the Kanglong mace to his subordinates and said, "Find a river to throw it away!"
"Yes!"

On the other hand, Qin Xuerong had nowhere to go since being kicked out of the Shen family.
The entire Qin family has now been exiled, and her two sons have died tragically one after another. She has no money at all, and the money she had lent before cannot be recovered because she has lost her power, and the money was against the law in the first place.
Qin Xuerong stayed in the inn for a few days, but finally couldn't help it and went to Feng Mansion to find Shen Jingzhen first.
Qin Xuerong deliberately spent money to buy a decent set of clothes and brought some gifts. After the doorman looked her up and down, he said, "Wait, I will report to the madam."
Mrs. Feng is teasing her grandson at this moment. Although Shen Jingzhen deserved to die, this child is her first grandson, so she can't help but like him.
What's more, the child is now older, with more mature eyebrows and eyes, and he looks more and more like Feng Bochang when he was a child. Although Shen Jingzhen is not clean, this grandson should be his without a doubt.
"Madam, the young lady's mother came to visit."
Madam Feng frowned, "Qin Xuerong? What is she doing here? Shen Jingchuan has been demoted to the sixth rank, and she has even been divorced. How dare she come to my Feng family's door?"
