Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 239 Multiple Minds

But these two families are several streets apart, as if they are not very familiar with each other.

Haha, you are trying to cover up your mistake.

"We are searching now." Shen Huai continued.

Shen Muyin was just listening. The carriage was moving unsteadily, but it did not affect Shen Muyin's tea-making. She lowered her head and drank it in small sips.

Through the window of the carriage, Shen Muyin saw that the city of Kyoto was particularly lively today.

The Imperial Guards were almost everywhere, and people from the Ling and Wang families were being brought out of the houses one by one.

The expressions of these people showed everything from crying to shouting for justice to bashing their heads against the wall to commit suicide out of fear.

Shen Muyin didn't have much sympathy, but Shen Huai asked: "The whole clan will be implicated. Are all these people guilty?"

Shen Muyin looked at Shen Huai quietly: "Ah Huai, their crimes are just different in severity. No one can escape here. Besides, do you think these people will not have any other intentions even if they get out safely after seeing so many benefits?"

Shen Huai nodded: "That's true."

Then Shen Huai calmed down, and the driver asked Shen Muyin: "Miss, where are we going?"

"Just go around Kyoto City." Shen Muyin responded.

"Yes." The driver responded respectfully.

The carriage moved slowly along the city of Kyoto. Shen Huai knew what Shen Muyin wanted to see. He just wanted to see who had been caught.

After the carriage driver drove around Kyoto City, Shen Muyin let him return to the Shen Mansion.

"Sister, where are you going?" Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was calm: "I'm going to meet someone. You go back first, I think Shen Changsheng and Shen Zhenzhen should be back soon."

The two men left, firstly to see who had caused the trouble, and secondly to wait for Shen Yan to come back, so they couldn't be away for too long.

If he came back and found that Shen Huai was not there and became suspicious of Shen Huai, then it would not be so easy for Shen Muyin to do things in the Shen Mansion.

After a moment of silence, Shen Huai nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Then Shen Huai didn't respond. He watched Shen Muyin get off the carriage, told her to be careful, and then turned and left.

Shen Muyin did not stop, but walked quickly towards the teahouse.

It’s not that you can’t go to the embroidery room, but in this case, the embroidery room has been tested to see if it has double-sided embroidery.

Shen Muyin would appear less frequently in the embroidery room to avoid causing more problems.

So everything happens in the teahouse.

When the waiter in the teahouse saw Shen Muyin, he quickly greeted her.

The origin of this teahouse is naturally not simple. It has nothing to do with the East Palace, but it is related to the Pingxi Palace.

Qin Chuyan and I knew this matter inside out. No wonder this teahouse is located in an excellent location in Kyoto.

Even every time I come, the waiter seems to know me and reserves the best seat for me.

I'm afraid I've already told you about it.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, but walked quietly to the familiar private room on the second floor. Xiaojiu was already waiting inside.

"Greetings, young lady." Xiao Jiu said respectfully.

"No need to be so polite." Shen Muyin was very calm.

After Shen Muyin sat down to make tea, Xiaojiu took the initiative to explain the current situation: "Shen Yan will be acquitted today. The Ling family and the Wang family will be executed tomorrow, and His Highness has no intention of waiting. The other officials involved have also been reported to the emperor. The emperor is furious, and they should not be able to escape."

Xiao Jiu said directly: "As for Shen Yan, he is too cautious. And the person behind Shen Yan is extremely perceptive. After the incidents of the Ling family and the Wang family, I couldn't find anything. They probably doubted my identity."

"This is normal." Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

If not, how could these people have lived in peace for so many years.

After all, Donggong and Lu Nanhuai are not vegetarians.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Go on."

"The servant you used to testify against Shen Yan before also got into trouble." Xiao Jiu said calmly.

Shen Muyin said that he knew that the servant had died a violent death, so it was impossible for him to come forward to testify. Shen Muyin also could not let Xiaojiu disguise himself as this person to come out and testify.

They suspected that he would definitely not show mercy. Besides, how could Shen Yan really be unable to do anything to a servant? If so, he would just send Xiao Jiu away.

Shen Muyin is not so stupid.

"So, Shen Yan will escape this time." Xiao Jiu finished speaking, "When Shen Yan was interrogated, he insisted that he was just an inspector and didn't know why he was implicated in this matter."

What Xiaojiu said was similar to what Xiaoqi said, and Shen Muyin understood it clearly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what my subordinates should do." Xiaojiu did not take credit for it.

After that, Xiaojiu didn't stay in the private room for long and soon disappeared.

As usual, Manager Wang took the accounts to Shen Muyin for questioning. Shen Muyin just flipped through them quickly without looking at them carefully.

She was very confident in Shopkeeper Wang, and Shopkeeper Wang was always very cautious and careful in what he did, so he would not take advantage of such things.

"Miss, Changfu is also being tested according to your wishes. Over the past few times, Changfu has been careful, quiet, and has no ulterior motives. In my opinion, he is a person who can be trusted." Shopkeeper Wang also told Shen Muyin about Changfu.

Shen Muyin nodded: "You can handle it with the people in the embroidery room. If they are reliable, you can pass it on."

Trust people you employ, and don't employ people you don't trust. This has always been Shen Muyin's principle.

"I understand." Shopkeeper Wang nodded.

What happens next involves many aspects and is by no means as simple as it seems.

Therefore, Changfu has to go through these tests before he can get involved in these things.

"Miss." Shopkeeper Wang was quiet for a while, then looked at Shen Muyin, "I always feel that this Changfu is not simple. If he were just an ordinary servant, it would be difficult for him to have such a clear mind."

Xishi was a place where slaves were sold, and all the stewards bought their slaves in Xishi.

There were many slaves, but not many of them were smart and sensible, so most of those bought were farmhands to do heavy work.

Changfu looks quiet, but he knows a lot of things. For many things, he doesn't need Manager Wang to say much, as he knows how to deal with them next.

That's why Manager Wang thought that Changfu had either worked for someone else before, or that Changfu had a good background.

But if it is the latter, there will always be some trouble, and no one knows whether there is any hidden intention here.

Take Rong Sheng for example. How could the Ling family have imagined that Rong Sheng would be the eldest son of the Rong family and had been hiding in the Ling family for many years?

If it weren't for Rong Sheng this time, the Ling family would have escaped successfully just like the Wang family, so Manager Wang became more cautious.
