The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 141 What's Different

When he reached the gate of the palace, Shen Ji hesitated for a while, instead of going out, he hooked his head and looked inside.

Si Hongyuan stood beside him, constantly persuading him.

"Even if this matter is over, you didn't see His Majesty's face. If His Majesty didn't know right from wrong, you would be dragged out and chopped up today. You don't want to think about yourself, but also think about your family members."

Shen Ji was also aware of this, "But I always have a chance to let His Majesty let them go, since I have the chance, why don't I try?"

Wei Sheng who passed by them paused, opportunity?what chance?Why doesn't he know?
His Majesty is determined to kill them today and ransack their home, how could there be another chance?

He thought for a few moments, and guessed Shen Ji's thoughts in surprise.

So he walked over and asked directly, "Are you going to ask Niangniang Gu for help?"

Suddenly a person appeared in front of him, and Shen Ji backed away in fright. After hearing his question, he nodded lazily.

"Your Majesty has always listened to Madam Gu. If Madam Gu knew that His Majesty had given such a heavy punishment because of a single mistake, she would definitely help persuade Her Majesty..."

Before Shen Ji finished speaking, Wei Sheng interrupted him impatiently.

"Ridiculous, Mr. Xiang, you are so ridiculous."

"Miss Gu is pregnant, if something happens because of your actions, do you think your entire Xiangfu can preserve a good corpse?"

What he said was ruthless, but it was the truth. If he didn't tell the truth, Shen Ji might actually do it.

"But……"

Not in the mood to stand up for him, Wei Sheng said again, "What's more, this matter is government affairs anyway, so why do you want Niang Niang to intervene in government affairs?"

"Your Majesty's order has been issued. This isn't the petty squabbling in the past. Do you want Your Majesty to be discredited and Madam Gu to be accused of meddling in the harem?"

Wei Shengsi's voice was low, cold and dangerous, "Master Xiang, if you think the head on your neck is too safe, go there, and see if His Majesty will take your anger out on your family."

Seeing the frightened expression on Shen Ji's face, Wei Shengsi lowered his voice a bit, and asked, "Master Xiang, why do you think their crimes are serious?"

Shen Ji swallowed with difficulty, and glanced aside at Si Hongyuan for help, but at some point he turned his back on them so as not to look at them.

He could only say, "Many of these people were highly valued when the late emperor was here, and their status in Shengjing has always been very high. Even... it's not like this..."

In fact, he wanted to say that after this move, everyone in Shengjing would be in danger, because credit and status could not protect them.

When Shen Ji thought of this, he overlooked one thing, that is, as long as he didn't make an unforgivable big mistake, he wouldn't be punished so severely, no matter whether he had credit or not and his high status was the same.

"You also said that they dared not to look down on His Majesty because they were old ministers of the former emperor and their high status in Shengjing, which almost caused Tianqin to suffer heavy losses. His Majesty did not even sit down with such a person. It's actually kind enough."

Seeing that Shen Ji still didn't understand, Wei Sheng frowned and made an analogy, "Master Xiang, if a nobleman sees a beggar on the side of the road as displeasing, and then kicks him to death, how should he be punished?"

Shen Ji's attention was diverted all of a sudden, and he said angrily, "Human life should be taken carelessly, and he should be punished severely. He should be put in a prison and beaten seventy or eighty times."

Wei Shengsi looked at him and spread his hands, and asked, "Then why don't you execute the noble's son and pay back the little beggar's life?"

Shen Ji faltered for a long time, unable to speak a sentence, in fact, he didn't know what he should say.

"Then change your identity. If this little beggar is Shen Yisong, the prime minister's son, if he is beaten to death by a noble son, will you let the person who killed him go?"

When the matter fell on him, Shen Ji couldn't say the word "knowledge" no matter what. He even felt that it was unfair to simply behead his head, and he should be executed at a young age.

"But, it's different." Shen Ji stubbornly didn't want to admit that his point of view was wrong.

Wei Shengsi lowered his head and chuckled, "It's not the same. A little beggar has a cheap life. How can he be compared with Xiangye's son-in-law or other noble children, but Xiangye, do you think that in the eyes of His Majesty, little beggars and noble children have the same Is there a difference?"

"The surname of this world is Qin, which of your Majesty's decisions in the past two years has not been vetoed by you, but which one has failed?" Wei Shengsi squinted his eyes and continued, "Master Xiang, what have you done in the past few days?" Let’s take a vacation and think about it at home.”

If it weren't for worrying that Shen Ji really didn't have the brains to go to Gu Niangniang, he wouldn't stand at the gate of the city and blow the cold wind.

Si Hongyuan made a long bow to Wei Shengsi, Wei Shengsi nodded, took a look at the two of them, and left.

Cui Shao acted very quickly, leading several teams of guards out of the palace, going one by one according to the names on the list.

Shen Ji took a two-day leave and stood on the street, looking at the closed door with complicated emotions, and hearing the voices of each family accusing each other or crying and cursing.

He looked at it for a while, and really didn't know what to do. When he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a wonton stand, so he sat down and ordered a bowl of wonton.

There are guards everywhere on the street, but the strange thing is that the people did not hide in their homes, whether they were hawkers or shoppers, and some even watched the excitement at the door in a leisurely manner.

He thought for a while, and asked the owner of the wonton stall, "It's such a chaotic day, why do you dare to set up a stall outside?"

The boss threw the wrapped wontons into the pot, and gave Shen Ji a strange look, "There's nothing to be afraid of, we've all heard that these people who were arrested acted recklessly because of their wealth and status. Good catch."

Shen Ji didn't answer, but his mood changed slightly.

He hasn't looked outside for many years, and he spends all these years in his study room reading.

Now it seems that he has read a lot of books, but understands very little truth.

The boss picked up the wonton and put it in front of him, scratched his head and came up with a sentence, "What is it called, the reward of eating the king, the matter of being loyal to the king, and worrying about the king's worries. Not only did you get rich and honor, but you failed to complete the tasks that His Majesty gave you. On the contrary, they are still making trouble for His Majesty, in my opinion, this kind of person should be severely punished."

Shen Ji silently ate a bowl of wontons, and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, "There's no need to look for it, and... thank you for today."

The boss thought it was saying that he made good wontons. After thinking for a while, he wrapped the dozens of uncooked wontons on the table with paper, tied them with a rope, and finally walked a few steps to follow them. .

Shen Ji didn't refuse, but looked at the wonton in his hand with more complicated emotions.
