bill!

lost.

When the ship was blown apart, not to mention the bills, many people on the ship were killed.

At that time, he also thought that the Xingjun picture had been bombed, so he boldly asked a famous painter in the capital to draw a fake Xingjun picture.

Now tell him where to find the bill.

Shen Lian was very angry, they all called her, the Queen Mother's birthday party was less talkative and less mistakes were made, but now, they sent a fake painting, which was really embarrassing to her grandma's house.

She saw Prince Jin watching the Shen family's jokes, his eyes red with anger, sitting next to Mo Junli, looking coldly at his parents and Shen Chengyi who were kneeling on the ground, and said: "Third brother, you go to Nanyang If you take out the receipt for the Xingjun picture from the museum and show it to the emperor, your innocence will be cleared."

Shen Zhengyi and Shen Chengyi's expressions all changed.

Shen Zhengyi had already thought of a way to break the situation, but Shen Lian suddenly intervened. She was simply, simply... stupid.

Shen Wan sat silently aside, looking at the hall door from time to time.

Jing Miaoyi gritted her teeth and stared in Shen Lian's direction: Shut up!

"Mom, please quickly ask Third Brother to take out the receipt and prove your innocence." Prove to His Highness Prince Jin that you are innocent.

The muscles on Jing Miaoyi's face twitched several times, and even Queen Shen was so angry that Shen Lian became weak due to her sudden voice.

When entering the banquet, she repeatedly warned Shen Lian to be careful in her words and deeds. Did Shen Lian turn a deaf ear to what she just said?

Shen Zhengyi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Shen San really can't get the receipt, but the painting was indeed bought from Nanyang. It's just that when the boat passed by the Holy Island, it was blown up by the pirates of the Holy Island. Both the painting and the receipt were destroyed. Lost."

"The Shen family spent a lot of money to look for it. On the eve of the Queen Mother's birthday party, someone sent the Star King's picture to the Shen family for a hundred taels of silver. The minister saw the Star King picture for the first time and could not distinguish the authenticity. Shen San is a person who doesn't like writing and ink. How could the businessman of the picture scroll know that someone copied the picture of the Twenty-Eight Constellations and mistook it for the real one?"

"Wei Chen thought that the painting presented to the Queen Mother was the painting of the Star King made by the Immortal Jushan."

Before Emperor Jinglong could speak, Gu Jingxing said softly: "According to what you said, it's all other people's fault. It's not your Shen family's fault. If you want to blame it, it's the person who sent the paintings to us for money. You are all innocent people. "

Shen Zhengyi was horrified. He raised his head slightly and looked back at Gu Jingxing.

Immortal Jushan stroked his white beard: "If you make a mistake, blame it all on others. You didn't distinguish the authenticity clearly, so you sent it to me. Don't fool me. Isn't it the person from the Ministry of Rites who will make the final approval? There are so many people in the Ministry of Rites." People, no one can tell the authenticity of Xingjun’s picture?”

Immortal Jushan's words made all the Shen family members present, as well as officials from the Ministry of Rites, all turned pale with fright.

Where can they sit still?

All the officials in the Ministry of Rites stood up from their seats and knelt in front of the hall, trembling.

Their family members also got up and knelt.

The family members of the officials who were kneeling on the ground were very angry.

You say giving gifts, just give gifts to the Queen Mother properly, but giving them a fake painting as a gift and burning them in the buttocks is too much, isn't it?

The Minister of Rites, who had just read the gift list, said: "Your Majesty, the Shen family's picture of the Star King was just added today. Lord Shen said that he had asked a famous painter in the capital to identify the authenticity of the portrait. Lord Shen has always been prudent in his work and has never made any mistakes in the Ministry of Rites. , the Ministry of Rites did not recognize the picture of the King of Stars presented by Lord Shen. It was a minor official who neglected his duty and begged the Emperor to punish him."

Lord Shangguan really hates Shen Zhengyi. A wonderful birthday banquet was inexplicably labeled as dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty..." Queen Shen was about to stand up to intercede with the Shen family.

Emperor Jinglong did not even look at Empress Shen, and angrily scolded: "Shen Zhengyi, as the Minister of Rites, how do you explain this?"

"Your Majesty, how else can we explain this? In order to please the Queen Mother, Mr. Shen and his son have really spent a lot of effort to please the Queen Mother. They deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, neglected their duties, disturbed the Queen Mother's birthday, made the Queen Mother unhappy, and regarded the Queen Mother as a human being. The monkey is playing."

"Concubine Liu, be careful what you say." Empress Shen's beauty turned pale and she yelled at Concubine Liu angrily.

But Concubine Liu didn't listen to the queen at all: "Second Master Shen can't produce the bill, and there is no one to testify for him. If I were the queen, I would just keep my tail between my legs and keep silent now, so as not to say another word and make the emperor unhappy."

"you……"

"That's enough." Empress Dowager Liu frowned and glanced at Empress Shen and even the Shen family members in disgust.

The Shen family sent her fake paintings to celebrate her birthday, which made her feel very disgusted.

It was a worthless fake painting. Fortunately, when she saw the painting handed over by the Shen family just now, she thought it was an authentic painting.

Thinking of the Shen family's tricks on her, Empress Dowager Liu was furious: "Emperor, Immortal Jushan will personally hold her to account. You have to decide how you want to handle this matter. The Ai family does not want the Emperor to be blamed for this matter."

We can no longer protect the Shen family. Shen Zhengyi was lucky enough to be freed from the crime of suppressing bandits on the Holy Island. This time about sending fake paintings, not only the skin of the Shen family but also the black gauze hat on Shen Zhengyi's head will be peeled off.

Emperor Jinglong Long Yan was furious.

Shen Zhengyi still wanted to quibble: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister..."

"Shut up." Emperor Jinglong picked up the wine bottle in front of him and smashed it on Shen Zhengyi's head.

When Shen Lian saw this scene, she quickly covered her mouth in fear.

Blood fell from Shen Zhengyi's forehead, and there was also wine flowing on his face.

Shen Zhengyi did not dare to avoid the wine bottle thrown by Emperor Jinglong.

Shen Chengyi knew that the Shen family would not escape this catastrophe, so he kowtowed heavily and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min deceived Cao Min's father about the fake painting. Cao Min did not take this painting from the Nanyang Museum at all because the price of the painting was too high. Cao Min has seen it After this painting, he had other thoughts, thinking that after returning to the Shang Dynasty, he would find a famous painter to draw a picture of the Star King according to the instructions of the grassroots and submit it to the Queen Mother. The father of the grassroots had no idea about this, and he was also deceived by the grassroots. Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, if you want to punish me, just punish the common people."

"The third child." Jing Miaoyi suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Chengyi, how could he take all the blame on his own.

Anyone who confuses truth with falsehood will be punished with a heavy rod.

Jing Miaoyi didn't realize that Emperor Jinglong had long wanted to attack the Shen family, but Shen Zhengyi was an old fool, and he kept getting away with it. Today's fake painting just gave the emperor a legitimate reason to kill the Shen family.

"Shen Chengyi deceived the emperor, but I thought it was not appropriate to see blood at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. I will strike the heavy stick a hundred times and give the penalty of 10,000 taels to the Immortal who lives in the mountain. Drag Shen San down and execute him immediately. "

"Shen Zhengyi, as the Minister of Rites, neglected his duties and presented a fake painting as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother. His moral character is not worthy of his position. He is dismissed from the post of Minister and remains as the sixth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites."

From the third rank to the sixth rank, no one here thought that Shen Zheng would lose his official position as soon as the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday.

However, Shen Zhengyi could not be dissatisfied at all, and kowtowed heavily to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

Empress Dowager Liu snorted coldly, stood up, and went down to change her dress with the help of the palace attendants.

Immortal Jushan was invited to the banquet where Shen Zhengyi was the guest of honor, and Shen Zhengyi's seat was moved to the second row at the back.

The table in front of Shen Zhengyi and Jing Miaoyi was Zhen Guogong and the Zhou family...
