Now that everything was arranged, Shen Xihe could rest and recuperate. She was so exhausted that she couldn't even walk a few steps, but she still insisted on walking. Even if she felt dizzy, fell and bruised herself, or had difficulty breathing, she would persist to the end.
Fortunately, Xie Yunhuai was in the Princess's Mansion and could detect the limit of her physical strength at any time. After gritting her teeth and persevering for two days, Shen Xihe was finally able to leave the bed, walk from the house to the yard, and then walk back.
During this period, Mo Yuan found out who was monitoring the Princess's Mansion and reported to Shen Xihe: "Princess, this person fell into the water and died on the twelfth day."
Shen Yun'an left Kyoto on September 10th. She was plotted against on the 11th, and the man died the next day.
"Identity?" In fact, this was within Shen Xihe's expectations, and she was not disappointed.
The person who does things is meticulous, makes careful assumptions and acts boldly.
"He's a street thug. Both his parents are dead, his wife died young, and he's idle all day long. He doesn't have two fixed places to stay. He seldom interacts with others, and we can't find out who has contacted him, so they sent him to follow him outside the mansion." For the first time, Mo Yuan deeply realized how deep the thoughts of the people in Kyoto were.
"Where are the other two?" Shen Xihe asked again.
"One of them is from a farming family. His mother is a maid released by Princess Ding's maternal family, the Ye family." Mo Yuan investigated the two people thoroughly. "The other one is also an idler on the street. The person who contacted him is the distant nephew of the wife of the Minister of Rites, the Hu family."
"Prince Ding and Hu Zhengyang." Shen Xihe smiled softly, "As expected, Prince Ding is retreating to advance."
Prince Ding wisely chose to keep a low profile from the very beginning, but the other princes were smarter than each other, and his tricks did not fool all his brothers. He was exposed twice in a row, especially the latter time, when he set his sights on military power. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.
At this time, Emperor Youning disliked him, and his desire to win over the hearts of the people and secretly cultivate his own cliques was nothing but a pipe dream.
So he seized an opportunity, took a gamble, solved an urgent problem for His Majesty, and once again seemed to have withdrawn from the stage of competing for the throne.
You must know that Your Majesty is in the prime of life. If nothing unexpected happens, it is normal for you to be in power for 10 to 20 years. With the changes in the world in 10 to 20 years, who knows what will happen in the future
He was cleverly turning light into darkness once again.
"He actually likes to use his own princess's people." Shen Xihe disliked Prince Ding in many ways, and was as timid as the rat she hated the most.
"Princess, do we want to arrest these two people and interrogate them?" Mo Yuan asked.
"Let them go." Shen Xihe raised his hand slightly, "Any clues on the case of the autumn grain robbery?"
"It's so complicated that two million dan of grain disappeared out of thin air. After the grain was intercepted, the county magistrate immediately blocked the city gates and the governor also immediately sent people to search, but they didn't find a single grain of rice." Mo Yuan found it unbelievable.
"Millet can be stored for a long time. As long as the environment in the deep mountains and forests is suitable, it can be stored for a year or two." The tax grain in this dynasty is millet.
For some reason, Shen Xihe suddenly connected the matter of autumn grain with Xiao Huayong.
She always felt that his leaving Kyoto at this juncture might not be unrelated to this matter.
I don't know whether he is going to investigate the matter or to deal with the aftermath of it.
She couldn't figure out a clue by imagining it, but it was very likely related to the Ministry of Revenue. Shen Xihe listened more and decided that she still wanted to replace the Minister of Revenue Dong Biquan as soon as possible. She couldn't allow His Majesty to empty the national treasury in this way.
