Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Seeing the two of them going back and forth, Shen Bei couldn't hold himself back.

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Prince Jing.

"Young man, don't be so anxious. I know you are worried about the Shen family." Prince Jing could tell with just one glance what Shen Bei was worried about.

Shen Bei bowed a little embarrassedly: "I don't dare to do anything in front of the prince, but this matter is indeed of great importance."

"Above the court, the power of the Minister of Rites can be said to cover the sky with one hand. He has set his sights on you Shen family this time just to attack Ningyuan Hou. As long as Ningyuan Hou's power is exploited, the Prime Minister will be like a loser. Since he has lost his right and left arm, naturally he cannot continue to compete with him." Prince Jing took a gentle sip of tea.

"It's like this. I didn't expect that the disputes in the imperial court could involve me. It seems that my sword is still young and my strength is still there." Ning Yuanhou said with a chuckle.

The banter between the two of them made Shen Bei more and more anxious.

"Young man, don't worry too much. I've already made a plan for this matter. Doesn't he want the Shen family to take the blame for the boy from the Ministry of Etiquette? In that case, I will make that boy Li's crime get bigger and bigger. In this way , Even if your Shen family wants to take the blame, it will be obvious at a glance." Prince Jing gently put down the tea cup in his hand and looked up at Marquis Ning Yuan in front of him, "We haven't seen each other for ten years, and you owe me again when we meet. A favor.”

Marquis Ning Yuan also nodded and admitted: "You did help me this time. If you need help in the future, just ask."

"I am an old man. If I need any help, I just hope you can come and see me when you are fine. I planted a new peach blossom forest and brewed wine in it. You can drink it after the New Year. Last year's peach blossoms I'm done drinking. I hope Lord Marquis can come and taste it then, and don't dislike me." Prince Jing raised the tea cup again and touched it gently with the cup in Marquis Ningyuan's hand.

While talking and laughing, Prince Jing had already solved the matter.

Seeing the two people's indifferent expressions, Shen Bei stopped being anxious and started discussing daily matters with them.

At this moment, Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan were tied to the pillars. Seeing that the red-hot iron rod was about to fall on them, the two closed their eyes subconsciously.

The general snorted proudly: "At this point, if the two of you continue to be ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude."

The two men were silent, and the general gradually lost his patience.

He snapped his fingers to signal the soldiers to begin execution.

At this moment, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who was hiding in the dark, pretended to have just walked in from outside, and quickly came to the general with this appearance.

"Both of them are close associates of Marquis Ning Yuan. If they were injured and Marquis Ning Yuan held them accountable, I'm afraid it would eventually involve you." The Minister of Punishment said with a salute.

The general was not afraid at all and shook his head indifferently: "You have been with me for so long, don't you know the current situation? As long as the two of them plead guilty, I will be guilty and meritorious. Wang Chen, such a big criminal, is in the Shen family Staying here for such a long time is a very serious crime."

With that said, the execution continued.

Yao Shu looked at the hot iron rod that was burned by the fire. If it were placed on her body, the subsequent infection would probably kill them.

"Master, I don't know if I can be more accommodating."

"If you have anything to say, if you don't want to confess, don't continue talking to me." The general gradually lost his patience. He glanced at the sky outside, which was already getting dark.

If this matter continues to be postponed, it may attract the attention of others.

He thought for a moment and then said: "If you two have made up your mind, you can tell me directly. If you want to talk nonsense, then I have no interest in listening to it anymore."

"Aren't you afraid that Marquis Ningyuan will be held accountable?"

Hearing this, the general sneered: "Pursuing responsibility? When you sign and sign the bond, he will be the one who really made the mistake. By then, not only will his title not be guaranteed, but he will most likely become a prisoner."

The reason why Wang Chen became a key criminal in the court was because he was suspected of rebellion.

He recruited troops in the area where General Ling was located, and even wanted to collude with the Huns.

A few days ago, after General Ling defeated the Huns, he was preparing to take him back, but he didn't expect that he escaped halfway.

The court also wanted him for a long time, but his whereabouts were never found.

Unexpectedly, so much time had passed before he was found in Jiutian Restaurant.

Hiding important criminals from the imperial court, or even secretly hiding key criminals who are planning to rebel. If this matter is made more jealous by someone with intentions, it may become that they want to collude with the Xiongnu to rebel.

Yao Shu didn't know what to say for a moment, thinking that if she got such a beating because of this matter, she would have to admit that she was unlucky.

So she closed her eyes hard and waited for the pain to come.

Just when the soldier was about to drop the iron rod in his hand, a man suddenly rushed in from outside.

"My lord, my lord is not good!"

Seeing that his good deeds were interrupted, the general became angry.

If Yao Shu and others sign and pledge, they will be one step closer to getting promoted and making a fortune.

He looked at the running soldiers irritably and asked in a low voice: "What's going on in such a panic? It's really unseemly!"

"Master Li was just taken away. It is said to be related to the corruption of officials who provided disaster relief a few days ago."

Hearing this, Yao Shu seemed to be relieved.

She knew that Marquis Ning Yuan must have helped to prevent them from suffering like this.

Looking up at the bewildered general, Yao Shu slowly said, "Sir, you are with the wrong person."

The general snorted coldly and decided to let the two people sign the signature.

He lost patience and motioned to the soldiers to restrain the two of them.

"In this case, there is no need to wait for them to figure it out, just let them sign and pledge."

After saying that, two other soldiers grabbed their hands and pressed the ink pad.

Then, the confession was handed to them, hoping that they would press it immediately.

At the critical moment, the Minister of Punishment stopped pretending.

He pulled out his sword and put it directly against the general's neck.

The general trembled and looked at the Minister of Punishment seriously: "Are you going to rebel?"

Seeing this scene, other soldiers also drew their swords and pointed them at the Minister of Punishment.

The Minister of Justice snorted coldly and took out the token from his arms: "Have you seen my identity?"

After the others saw it, they immediately put away their swords and knelt down to salute.

The general was stunned and didn't know what to say at all. After a while, he finally came to his senses and began to beg for mercy.

But it was too late.
