Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 224 Shen Yan was arrested

"Okay." Rong Sheng nodded.

"Once this is accomplished, everything that the Ling family originally snatched from the Rong family will return to the Rong family's hands. This is also a good thing for you. But I hope that you can serve the Eastern Palace in the future instead of being led by this person by the nose." Shen Muyin said it directly, and did not even shy away from the matter of the Eastern Palace.

"Please rest assured about this, Miss Shen. The Rong family has never been a villainous family. Miss Shen is also very clear about this." Rong Sheng said frankly.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

After he finished speaking, Rong Sheng did not hesitate and took the evidence with him.

Soon, Rong Sheng put the evidence in front of Shen Muyin.

On it were the places where the Ling and Wang families stored salt, as well as their various receipts for selling salt, which were enough to convict the people of the two families.

"They are in collusion with several officials in the court. They know everything about any disturbance in the court." Rong Sheng said directly, "For example, the city gates are heavily guarded now, and they can't transport the salt out. So now they probably have to find a way to the back mountain. Although it is difficult, only a few dozen salt dealers will die, but a large amount of salt can be saved."

"So, Miss Shen's people can also intercept them in the back mountain and catch them red-handed. These evidences and accounts are all evidence of the smuggling crimes of the Ling and Wang families over the years." Rong Sheng explained in detail.

Shen Muyin looked down at the accounts and was shocked.

The Ling and Wang families were far more cruel and outrageous than he had imagined.

Such a person cannot be kept under any circumstances.

It is also because of this that the Ling family and the Wang family have been able to get along smoothly over the years. Thinking of this, Shen Muyin's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness.

Then Shen Muyin said nothing and nodded calmly: "I know, don't worry."

"If everything is fine, I'll go back first. After all, if I stay here, it's easy to cause trouble." Rong Sheng was thoughtful.

Shen Muyin did not stop Rong Sheng, but asked the secret guard to send Rong Sheng back personally.

After Shen Muyin left, she handed the accounts and list given by Rong Sheng to Dong Jin: "Take them to the East Palace and give them to His Highness, and he will make his own decision."

These people are officials in the court, so Shen Muyin naturally has no say on how to deal with them.

And in the list provided by Rong Sheng, these people hold high positions of power in the court.

Donggong might have to make his own judgment to know how to deal with it. Shen Muyin had deep memories of many people here, and they definitely could not be touched now.

After all, these people are involved in countless people, and one move could affect the entire body. The Eastern Palace would not be so brainless.

Therefore, the people and affairs in the court need to be judged by the East Palace.

"I understand." Dong Jin responded quickly.

Then Dong Jin turned around with the things and disappeared silently in the courtyard. Shen Muyin stood there, very quietly.

After a long time, Shen Muyin turned around and walked out of the house. Fennel had been waiting outside.

It was probably this kind of atmosphere that made Fennel feel nervous. She asked in a low voice: "Miss, where are we going now?"

"Go to the city gate." Shen Muyin said directly.

Fennel nodded without saying much, and soon followed Shen Muyin towards the city gate.

Shen Muyin was calm and knew very well why he went to the city gate. He wanted to see Shen Yan being caught red-handed.

It is indeed impossible to do anything to Shen Yan now. Even Rong Sheng said that Shen Yan is extremely careful in doing things, but he wants to force the person behind the scenes to make a choice.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin's pace became faster, and Fennel followed quietly.

There is a teahouse near the city gate, which is a place for merchants to rest, and its business is good.

Shen Muyin had someone prepare a private room in advance, and when she arrived, she went upstairs in a low-key manner.

The door of the teahouse was closed, but Shen Muyin was in a position where he could just see everything that happened at the city gate.

Throughout the whole process, Shen Muyin remained calm, until Shen Yan appeared in Shen Muyin's sight, Shen Muyin put down the teacup.

coming.

……

Shen Yan walked to the city gate, and the guards at the gate naturally recognized Shen Yan: "Sir Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Yan was very calm, standing with his hands behind his back: "I'll find someone, you guys do your thing."

"Yes, I obey your command." Soon, the guard stepped aside.

Shen Yan pretended to inspect the area and then went around to the back, where a man in guard clothes was standing.

When he saw Shen Yan coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Shen."

"Why is this happening? Didn't we relax before? Now it's like this, how do you want me to deal with it?" Shen Yan asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged everything. What you asked for today can be completed smoothly." The guard said in a low voice.

Shen Yan nodded, and then looked forward. The guard immediately knew and took Shen Yan forward.

Shen Yan followed the guard to the entrance calmly.

The guard explained: "Master Shen, things go through here. We have our own people here, so there won't be any accidents. Don't worry."

Shen Yan nodded: "I will be at ease if you do the job."

The guard chuckled, somewhat complacently, but when he looked at Shen Yan, there was ill intent in his eyes, but the look quickly disappeared.

The guard continued to speak, Shen Yan frowned slightly. He had never seen this man so talkative on weekdays. They were already familiar with these things.

Now walls have ears, and it is always unsafe in public.

Shen Yan had a sullen face and was about to scold, but at this moment, suddenly, there was a commotion outside, followed by the sound of firm and powerful footsteps.

Unlike the guards at the city gates, they are well-trained guards.

You know, the Royal Guards rarely appear at the city gates unless there is a special mission.

Now that the Royal Guards appeared here, Shen Yan felt a flash of uneasiness in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and couldn't figure out what had happened.

But soon, the fully armed guards came towards Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was really shocked, but under such circumstances, Shen Yan remained calm: "My Lords, what happened?"

"Sir Shen, we are just following orders. Please come with us." The leader of the Imperial Guards spoke to Shen Yan expressionlessly.

"What have I done wrong that requires alerting you all?" Shen Yan asked calmly.

The guards did not hesitate: "You are suspected of smuggling salt and disrupting people's livelihood."

The guards spoke directly, and there was a hint of sharpness in their eyes when they looked at Shen Yan. Then they walked towards Shen Yan, who tried to resist.

But the next moment, the guards had already arrested Shen Yan.
