Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 225: Killing someone means paying with your life, which is the only right.

It was warm inside the carriage.

After Sun Wenjie warmed his palms, he saw that Xu Yuan had not returned yet, so he asked, "Why is your son so close to Xu Yuan?"

He remembered that Shen Yichuan had helped Xu Yuan when Xu Yuan first arrived in Beijing.

How did two people, one in Sishui County and the other in the capital, become good friends?

How many secrets are hidden in Xu Yuan?

"Mr. Sun, you may not know that when the young master traveled north, he was entrusted by a teacher in a private school to teach him for a few days. Mr. Xu studied in that school, so my young master was considered Mr. Xu's teacher."

"I see." Sun Wenjie nodded.

He had never figured out before how Xu Yuan got in touch with Bei Yao.

Now it seems that it was because of Shen Yichuan.

That is to say...

The real person behind the wish is the third prince.

Everything she does now is to get close to the crown prince. No wonder she dares to slander the third prince like this.

Sun Wenjie was warming himself by the fire comfortably, while Xu Yuan was looking at Shen Yichuan, whose face was getting colder and colder, in the snow. He said directly, "There is no one around here. Mr. Shen, just say whatever you want to say."

The weather turned cold and it was snowing.

I don’t want to catch a cold during the New Year when I make a wish.

"In Sishui County, I was half your teacher. Now that we are in the capital, you call me Brother Shen. It is not reasonable for me to stand idly by and watch this happen."

Xuyuan didn’t understand: “What does that mean?”

"Did you do anything about the Wei family?"

"Why does Brother Shen think this matter has anything to do with me?" Xu Yuan asked back, "I don't have the money to hire anyone, let alone the money to buy such a big shop."

"I didn't say what happened to the Wei family."

"I saw it this morning." Xu Yuan answered fluently, "I was going to the Prince's Mansion to report, and I had to pass by the Grand Marshal's Mansion. If there weren't so many people there, I wouldn't have gotten off the carriage and walked over here."

Xu Yuan's eyes were clear, so clear that it didn't seem like he was lying to him.

For a moment, Shen Yichuan was a little dazed, thinking that his previous guess was too vague.

Seeing that Shen Yichuan remained silent, Xu Yuan continued, "Perhaps someone had a hand in the Wei family's affairs, but shouldn't justice be sought for so many lives? Is it because they were all prostitutes that their lives are more valuable than others?"

Shen Yichuan explained: "That's not what I meant."

"What does Brother Shen mean? Why did he specially come to the Prince's Mansion to stop me?"

"I just want to remind you not to be blinded by the vindication. Wei Chenyi is the Imperial Censor. Petty actions are not in his eyes, let alone shaking his position. Yueyuanlou is not someone you can afford to offend. Your life story is not without loopholes. If you are targeted by Yueyuanlou, you will not get the justice you want."

Shen Yichuan sighed softly, "I know, I said I would help you, but there has been no progress, but you can't rush to seek medical help."

Xuyuan understood.

"Brother Shen, you want to say that I have joined the Crown Prince's sect and you are worried that I will become an enemy of the Third Prince, right?"

Shen Yichuan nodded.

In the past two days, there have been some gossips saying that Xu Yuan has won the favor of the prince.

Shen Yichuan didn't take it to heart, because he knew that Xu Yuan knew what kind of person Bei Yuan was and would definitely not try to take advantage of a tiger.

But it seems he was wrong.

Xu Yuan did not stay away from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but instead worked for the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Yichuan didn't know whether he had misjudged Xu Yuan's character or underestimated Xu Yuan's determination to redress the Xu family.

In short, he wanted to bring Xu Yuan back.

Xu Yuan sighed softly and said, "I said that I will not get involved in the disputes in the court. Brother Shen can rest assured. As for joining the prince, it is to be able to enter the Wenhua Palace and investigate the Wei family."

Shen Yichuan immediately said: "I can also help you enter Wenhua Palace. I can do no less than the prince."

"But I can't be an ungrateful person and drag the Shen family down with me. Brother Shen has taken good care of me, and I have nothing to repay you. I already feel guilty. The only thing I can do now is to stay as far away from you as possible. Do you understand?"

Shen Yichuan stopped talking.

He naturally understood, but he couldn't just watch Xuyuan jump into the fire pit.

Xu Yuan comforted him, "Don't worry. I have found a lot of evidence to overturn the case. What I lack most now is the opportunity to plead my case in person. Of course, not now."

"When was that? Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "At least, we have to wait until my brother goes south to suppress the bandits."

"I understand." Shen Yichuan sighed softly, "I know you are strong-willed and will never compromise on your decision. Since I can't lend you a helping hand, I will do my best to keep your family safe."

"Thank you." Xu Yuan clasped his fists.

"Okay, the weather is cold, I'll take you and Sun Shaoqing back."

Make a wish and nod.

The Prince's Mansion was closest to Sun Wenjie's residence, so Shen Yichuan sent Sun Wenjie there first.

Xu Yuan didn't want to stay with Shen Yichuan any longer. After Sun Wenjie got off the carriage, he made an excuse that he had something else to tell Sun Wenjie, and got off the carriage and entered the Sun Mansion.

After seeing Shen Yichuan off, seeing Xu Yuan was relieved, Sun Wenjie couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought you were fearless, but I didn't expect you to be so nervous, Mr. Shen."

"You also know that he promised to be the next imperial teacher, so you must pay attention."

The two people talked and sat down in the house.

The charcoal fire gradually dispelled the chill on his body, and Xu Yuan said, "Mr. Shen is the best young master in the capital. His appearance and talent are both first-class. He should be surrounded by noble young masters who are like him, not a little scholar like me from the countryside."

"Xu Yuan, you really underestimate yourself. After the Poetry Pavilion, your reputation has spread all over the capital. In addition, you rejected the solicitation of the Prime Minister's Office and the Censorate. You are the number one figure in the capital. The last person who didn't give you face was Master Shen."

Sun Wenjie took some sunflower seeds and ate them while saying, "You don't know, but everyone in the court is saying that you will definitely get a good score in next year's national exam. It's only a matter of time before you become successful."

Sun Wenjie did not exaggerate at all.

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and laughed at himself, "I haven't even entered the Wenhua Palace yet?"

"Didn't the Crown Prince help you solve it? It's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. I think my first good news next year will be that I will be promoted to the position of Minister of the Dali Temple. By then, I will be able to join the Nine Ministers."

"The Dali Temple Minister, without the word 'less', it really sounds better."

Xuyuan nodded seriously.

"Speaking of this, what are you going to do about the Wei family?"

Sun Wenjie said, and immediately became excited: "In my opinion, the Wei family will definitely abandon Wei Wu. In this way, not only have we failed to overthrow the Wei family, but we have also allowed Wei Chenyi to accomplish the feat of sacrificing his relatives for the greater good."

Wei Chen believed that people were selfish and would naturally choose the future over the legitimate son.

"But the real murderer is not Wei Wu." Xu Yuan smiled faintly, took some tea and wrote on the table, "I don't want Wei Chen to die, I just need him to not cause any trouble during this period of time."

How could Wei Chenyi be sentenced to death for just a murder case? It was a bit too easy.

Even if Wei Chenyi died, he would die as the culprit of the Xu family's injustice.

Killing someone means paying with your life, which is only natural.
