At this moment, inside the Imperial City Division.

The King of Jin personally opened the cell door, invited Shen Zhengyi out of the execution room, and said: "Sir Shen, although Wang Dequan admits all the culpability, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. This bandit suppression has severely damaged the treasury and military strength of our Shang Dynasty. , although your Shen family can provide a pension and shoulder some responsibilities, you will not be able to avoid punishment."

Shen Zhengyi had just received twenty lashes.

Two imperial guards helped him out of the torture chamber.

He endured the severe pain in his body and saluted King Jin: "In the final analysis, the minister is responsible for poor supervision, and he deserves these twenty lashes."

King Jin nodded slightly and said: "I will send Master Shen away from here. However, although Master Shen can leave the Imperial City Division for the time being, if there are other problems later, Master Shen will inevitably be recalled for further investigation. I hope Master Shen will understand."

Shen Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, endured the pain of the whiplash, and smiled: "This is natural, Wei Chen is willing to cooperate with His Highness King Jin's investigation."

"Well, you have just finished your punishment. Do you need someone to carry Master Shen out? However, I have already notified the Shen Mansion and asked someone to pick you up."

"Thanks to King Jin for taking the trouble, I can go out."

"Okay." King Jin responded and walked ahead.

At this time, the night was getting dark, and the fog was lingering around half of the city.

King Jin walked out of the Imperial City and looked into the distance.

Under the mist, there was a faint group of people, holding lanterns, slowly walking towards the Imperial City Division.

After a while, he saw the group of people carrying the coffin appear in front of him.

The carriage behind the coffin stopped not far away, and a young woman got out of the carriage.

Wearing a lotus-patterned skirt and coat, with a large white lotus hairpin on her head, and holding a yellow lantern in her hand, she hurried to the Imperial City Division surrounded by a group of servants.

King Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the woman wearing the white lotus hairpin, and he recognized Shen Lian at a glance.

"It turns out to be His Highness Prince Jin." Shen Lian's heart beat so fast when she saw Prince Jin standing at the gate of the Imperial City.

Hearing that King Jin was still serving in the Imperial City Department, Shen Lian took advantage of Jing Miaoyi's fainting and ordered someone to go to Yizhuang to buy a coffin, and hurried over to collect Shen Zhengyi's body.

Holding the handkerchief in her hand, she saluted King Jin: "My lord, I see His Highness King Jin."

"Miss Shen Er." King Jin looked at the coffin behind her and a group of servants wearing sackcloth and mourning. He frowned unconsciously and asked, "You came to the Imperial City Department so late. This coffin... …”

Shen Lian glanced sideways at the coffin, with tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, King Jin, my mother heard that my father was punished and executed, and she couldn't afford it. My brother was also sick and injured." The eldest sister of my father just got married and there was no one in charge of the house, so my daughter went to Yizhuang to buy a coffin and collect my father's body."

Shen Zhengyi, who was holding on for a breath and finally walked out of the Imperial City Division, almost fainted from the pain of the whip wounds after hearing Shen Lian's words.

The two guards behind him saw that his body was crumbling, so they stepped forward to support him and asked, "Master Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Zhengyi took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."

He walked quickly to the door and saw Shen Lian lowering her head and wiping tears.

King Jin didn't know what expression to use to deal with Shen Lian.

At this time, Shen Zheng opened his mouth and called out: "Lian'er."

Shen Lian raised her head and saw Shen Zhengyi standing next to King Jin. She suddenly got excited and shouted: "Ah, my father has faked his corpse. Your Highness, my father is behind you. He has faked his corpse." If you burn him to death, he will turn into a zombie and bite you."
