Chapter 239
Yang Xiaofeng stood up when he heard the sound, and immediately hid behind the screen.

Only then did Shen Miao turn around and quickly stepped forward to open the door.

"Housekeeper, what happened to my father?"

"Master was detained by the Ministry of Criminal Justice this afternoon, saying that when he presided over the construction of the Yuquan Mountain Resort in the north of the city, he took kickbacks for embezzlement, totaling 100 million taels of silver.

Now, the master and others have already been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The emperor ordered the house to be ransacked, and now, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, together with the governor of the governor's office, has brought soldiers and horses to search the house. "

"Ah!" Shen Miao exclaimed slightly, her body shook slightly and almost fell down.

"Miss, how are you?"

The butler asked with concern.

Shen Miao tried her best to support the door frame and asked with a pale face, "Is there any treatment for the rest of the Shen family in the Emperor's edict?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "I don't know, but according to the past practice, once the master is convicted of a crime, not only he himself will be sent to the border, but his family will also be implicated."

Shen Miaowei pinched the door tightly with her fingers, her knuckles turned slightly white.

She pondered for a while, "Housekeeper, all members of the Shen family can't be taken into custody. If they ask after a while, you can just say that I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives."

The housekeeper frowned, but nodded helplessly.

"Miss, you go through the back door, and the old slave goes to the front door to hold them back."

Shen Miao nodded slightly, turned her head slightly and said, "Cui Yan, take my things."

After that, she quickly ran to the back door.

However, when he ran to the back door out of breath, he realized that there was already someone guarding it.

Shen Miao had no choice but to go back to the front door.

Since there is no way to avoid it, there is only one way to face it.

When Shen Miaowei ran to the front door, she found that the front yard was brightly lit and her mother, Madam Shen, was already kneeling on the ground.

In front of Mrs. Shen, stood a young man in a red official robe.

The man looks to be 25 or [-] years old. He wears an official hat, has a face like a crown jade, long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks talented.

This person is Feng Zian, the second son of the third brother of the current Empress Dowager Feng Jiang.

Now he is the Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, and the official residence is the third grade.

At this moment, Feng Zian was reading the imperial decree.

"...The family property is ordered to be confiscated. The family members are temporarily staying in the Shen residence and are not allowed to leave Jinling. I hereby!"

Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand: "The woman thanked the emperor for his kindness."

Feng Zian took two steps forward holding the imperial decree, and gently placed the imperial decree in Mrs. Shen's hands.

Then Shen Miaowei ran out from the corner and reached out to help Madam Shen stand up.

Madam Shen raised her head, with tears in her eyes: "Master Feng, my master, he was wronged."

Feng Zian didn't say anything, but said to Xu Zhihu, Governor of the Governor's Office: "Governor Xu, please search carefully."

Xu Zhihu bowed his hands to Feng Zian and said, "Please rest assured Feng Shangshu, I will do my best to handle affairs for the emperor, and I will do my best."

After that, Xu Zhihu made a move with his right hand, led his soldiers into Shen's house, and searched extensively.

After Xu Zhihu left, Feng Zian took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, earnestly: "According to the usual practice, corrupt officials like Shen Wang who have embezzled huge amounts of public funds and their family members are all detained.

But I have done official business with Mr. Shen and know his character, so I tried my best to persuade the emperor to let him spare your family members the pain of being detained. "

When Mrs. Shen heard it, she burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Feng, my master was wronged. Please, Mr. Feng, look into it."

Feng Zian frowned imperceptibly when he heard her just screaming for grievances.
