Zheng Liangcai led some people to escort Shi Junfeng’s personal manservant Shi Wang and walked in.
Shi Wang entered the room and knelt in front of Shi Junhe as soon as he saw the duke. He begged sadly in tears, “My Lord, My Lord, you must save me. I did everything as you ordered me.”
Before Shi Junhe spoke, he was accused by Shi Wang randomly, so he turned ghastly pale and questioned furiously, “Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t know you. Why would I order you to do something?”
Shi Wang cried more loudly, “My Lord, you can’t say something so ungrateful. You said that the second master threatened your position, and only after he died could you keep the title of Duke Shi steadily, so you told me to find a chance to murder him. Then you would be worriless.
“You promised to ensure my safety. Now it’s exposed, but you will leave me alone?”
He tearfully pledged in all sincerity and seriousness and almost swore to God that he told the truth.
His accusation was reasonable with evidence and revealed Shi Junhe’s motive and purpose of murdering.
If Shi Junhe were not the litigant, he might involuntarily guess if what Shi Wang said was true.
After Shi Wang finished his words, Mo Shujun snorted at Shi Junhe. “Shi Junhe, now this servant has pleaded guilty. Do you still want to defend yourself with excuses?”
“He, it’s just his one-sided statement. I, I didn’t…”
Shi Junhe wanted to explain in a hurry, but Mo Shujun didn’t give him a chance to argue. She turned around and ordered Zheng Liangcai, “You will know if it is true after interrogation. I won’t let go of anybody who murdered Junfeng. Lord Zheng, you must know what you should do, right?”
Zheng Liangcai had cold sweat on his back. He didn’t dare to offend Mo Shujun, while he was unwilling to confront Shi Junhe.
He was in a dilemma for a moment.
Under Mo Shujun’s eyes with pressure, Zheng Liangcai gritted his teeth and walked slowly to Shi Junhe, saying cautiously, “Lord Shi, you…”
He didn’t have the momentum as an official but was afraid that he would say something wrong and make Shi Junhe unhappy.
As he saw that Shi Junhe’s face darkened, his heart beat fast. He explained hurriedly, “I just want to ask you to go to the Capital Bureau and help me investigate the case. You only assist me…”
It was no joking matter. Shi Junhe was a high official. Even if he was really…such a lowly governor of the Capital Bureau didn’t qualify to ask.
Even so, he couldn’t take Shi Junhe away.
“Wait!” Shi Qingxue ran in hastily and stopped Zheng Liangcai.
Zheng Liangcai had a more serious headache as soon as he saw Shi Qingxue.
He almost wanted to cry.
Compared with Mo Shujun and Shi Juncai, this lady was even more difficult to handle. Governor Zheng still remembered what the Zhao family and Qin family ended up with after offending the sixth young lady from the Shi family.
He just investigated a case and didn’t want to risk the lives of his whole family.
Zheng Liangcai was more careful and thought of everything he did just now. Then he asked cautiously, “My Lady, what can I do for you?”
Zheng Liangcai was a sub-Rank-3 official, yet he was so respectful to a young lady who was not titled, which was too much.
However, all people present weren’t surprised. After all, the man behind Shi Qingxue was so unfathomable that they were afraid of him.
Shi Qingxue frowned slightly and asked anxiously, “Lord Zheng, why did you ask my father to go to the Capital Bureau and assist you in investigation?”
Wasn’t it obvious?
Of course it was because of Shi Junfeng’s death.
Although the answer was evident, Zheng Liangcai didn’t dare to refuse to reply. “There are doubtful points about the second master’s death, and his manservant personally accused Lord Shi…”
Under Shi Qingxue’s glare, he held back his last words. After a long time, he asked Shi Qingxue for permission. “So can I ask Lord Shi to go with me…”
“No!”
Before Zheng Liangcai finished his words, he was interrupted by Shi Qingxue forcefully.
Her tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Even though Mo Junyang and Duke Shi’s family were behind her, her tone was excessive.
Zheng Liangcai finally couldn’t help but look unhappy.
Before he spoke, Shi Qingxue added, “I have the token granted by Emperor.”
Zheng Liangcai was speechless.
Fine. It was really a sharp weapon to break the rules.
Governor Zheng didn’t feel unhappy anymore but just sighed with emotion. Elder Duke Shi got a token that could prevent somebody in Duke Shi’s family from being sentenced to death after he performed illustrious military exploits, and he just benefited his descendants.
They had the privilege, yet it was the rule.
Zheng Liangcai instantly turned around and stated flatteringly, “I was brainless. I came to disturb you before finding the truth, Lord Shi. I am off now…”
“Wait!”
Another roar interrupted Zheng Liangcai.
It seemed that a sub-Rank-3 official was so lowly that anybody could step on him after he came to Duke Shi’s mansion. Even Shi Juncai dared to stop him?
Shi Juncai was just a Rank-4 official seemingly.
Even if he followed the fourth prince, he was just so-so. He really put on airs in front of Zheng Liangcai?
Zheng Liangcai thought with unspoken criticism, but it was Duke Shi’s mansion, and everybody knew that the princess royal doted on her youngest son.
Even though Zheng Liangcai was resentful, he didn’t dare to lose temper.
However, he asked in a much colder voice, “Third Master Shi, what can I do for you?”
Shi Juncai didn’t have sharp eyes, or he was so conceited that he didn’t take the “lowly” governor of the Capital Bureau seriously. He asked Shi Qingxue, “Since you want to use the token granted by Emperor to exculpate Junhe from the charge, you naturally need to show it first, right? Otherwise, how would we know if you have this stuff?”
Even Zheng Liangcai couldn’t help but roll his eyes, worrying about the third master’s intelligence, not to mention the people in the Shi family.
All people in the capital city knew that Elder Duke Shi loved his eldest son’s second legitimate daughter very much and even gave Shi Qingxue the token granted by Emperor, which represented the supreme glory and status of Duke Shi’s family.
How could Shi Qingxue not have the token granted by Emperor?
Before Zheng Liangcai sneered at Shi Juncai, Shi Qingxue who had been calm earlier suddenly turned pale and raised her head, looking at Shi Juncai. She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
She behaved unusually, and it was not what a person who had the token granted by Emperor would do. It seemed that…
Lord Zheng’s expression also changed, and he looked at Shi Qingxue in surprise and doubt.
Mo Shujun coughed in time and glanced at Zheng Liangcai as if unintentionally, which made him shrink his neck.
Zheng Liangcai instantly requested Shi Qingxue, “What the third master said makes sense. My Lady, please show the token granted by Emperor. It was given by the emperor, and it should be given back to His Majesty…”
In fact, if Shi Juncai didn’t mention it, Zheng Liangcai wouldn’t insist on checking the token granted by Emperor and even demand to take it back.
However, as Shi Juncai said that, the token granted by Emperor really became a real one-off thing and needed to be taken back.
Shi Qingxue looked embarrassed and opened her mouth several times but couldn’t say anything.
Seeing that, Shi Junhe knew that Shi Qingxue didn’t have the token granted by Emperor at hand, so he stood in front of her and declared coldly, “I don’t need the token granted by Emperor. Lord Zheng, I will go to the Capital Bureau with you.”
“The real murderer” asked to be brought to justice, yet Zheng Liangcai didn’t heave a sigh of relief.
It was no joking matter.
However, with his identity, Shi Junhe was difficult to deal with, and Shi Qingxue, and the person behind her…
While thinking, Zheng Liangcai couldn’t help but tremble. Even if he took the criminal away, he didn’t dare to interrogate him.
Governor Zheng showed a sad face and turned to Mo Shujun.
Mo Shujun sneered and snorted. “Lord Zheng, you are the governor of the Capital Bureau and submit memorials to the throne. You don’t even know how to hear a case? If so, I believe that Lord Luo in the Ministry of Penalty won’t mind letting somebody else replace you.”
The Capital Bureau was subject to the Ministry of Penalty, and generally, the governor was selected by the Minister of Penalty, except the talented men the emperor liked. At the same time, they had to flatter the direct superior.
Zheng Liangcai suddenly remembered that the Minister of Penalty Luo Sen was the fourth prince Mo Junhao’s follower, while Mo Junhao had joined hands with Mo Shujun obviously.
At this thought, Zheng Liangcai didn’t hesitate anymore and reached out his hand. “Lord Shi, please.”
“Father!”
Shi Qingxue stood in front of Shi Junhe anxiously and stopped him from going out.
At the moment, Zheng Liangcai was frightened by Mo Shujun evidently. If Shi Junhe went to the Capital Bureau, would he have a good ending?
Shi Juncai stated, “If you don’t want your father to be condemned, just take out the token granted by Emperor. Otherwise, after he is accused of killing his younger brother…Gee.”
Obviously he would look on.
Shi Qingxue bit her lower lip and glared at Shi Juncai, murmuring, “I have the token granted by Emperor! I have it…”
“If you have it, just take it out. You only said that but we haven’t seen it. Are you going to exempt Junhe from punishment in front of His Majesty in this way?” Shi Juncai expressed playfully and waited for Qingxue to embarrass herself.
Shi Junhe patted Qingxue’s shoulder and wanted her to stop talking.
At the same time, Shi Juncai changed the subject and asked in doubt, “You can’t take out the token granted by Emperor. Have you lost our family heirloom?”
“Juncai!” Shi Junhe glanced at Shi Juncai warningly and silently told him to shut up.
However, Shi Juncai finally found evidence against the first master’s family, and all his blood rushed up to his brain. He was in high spirits.
He was just cowardly for a moment. Then he threw his chest out and stated arrogantly, “The token granted by Emperor was a reward from the emperor. If you lose it, you will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Shi Qingxue, if you don’t take out the token granted by Emperor, you can’t save Junhe and you will be accused.”
While speaking, Shi Juncai got more excited, as if he had seen that the most powerful two members of the first master’s family were defeated by him easily, and he would fear nothing in the future.
“Shi, Jun, Cai!” Shi Junhe raised his voice and looked at Shi Juncai, with a unprecedentedly stern expression in his eyes and hidden sadness which the idiot Shi Juncai couldn’t see.
However, Shi Juncai raised his chin and looked as if saying, “I have said that. What can you do to me?”
Anyway, if Shi Qingxue couldn’t take out the token granted by Emperor, they would be done.
“Who said that I don’t have the token granted by Emperor?” Shi Qingxue suddenly asked in a low voice.
Her voice was peaceful and calm, and she seemed to be another person.
All people were stunned and saw that she walked slowly to Shi Lei’s memorial tablet and then knelt down.
She put her palms together and kowtowed to it.

What can you do to me?Anyway, if Shi Qingxue couldn't take out the token granted by Emperor, they would be done.Who said that I don't have the token granted by Emperor? Shi Qingxue suddenly asked in a low voice.Her voice was peaceful and calm, and she seemed to be another person.All people were stunned and saw that she walked slowly to Shi Lei's memorial tablet and then knelt down.She put her palms together and kowtowed to it.
