"If the princess wants to ridicule me, there is no need to do so." Governor Yu's face became even more stinking.
Shen Xihe lowered his head and straightened his shawl and sleeves. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he looked up and said, "I'm here to ask Governor Yu for help."
Governor Yu stared at Shen Xihe coldly without saying a word.
Shen Xihe's face was calm: "The people involved in the tomb robbery case are deserters who were sent to work as miners. It's not that I underestimate His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has no military power behind him. If he could let so many deserters go without making a sound, he wouldn't have to hide his strength at this moment.
So, it can be inferred that the tomb robbery was not instigated by King Zhao, so I want to know who forced Governor Yu to wade into this mess?"
Governor Yu was startled for a moment, and then his gaze towards Shen Xihe changed.
He was angry and secretly resentful just now, but it was not because he had no tolerance as Shen Xihe expected, and would not allow others to plot against him. It was just that he did not look down on Shen Xihe from the bottom of his heart, and he was angry that he was easily trapped by a yellow-haired girl like Shen Xihe.
However, Shen Xihe's words at this moment were enough to shock him. She was able to analyze the key points in just a few words.
"Princess, please go back." Governor Yu uttered these four words stiffly.
As expected, Shen Xihe said, "Yu Shishi, do you know how to quickly resolve this case if the other party fails to frame Prince Bu?"
The natural thing is to push out another scapegoat. As for who this scapegoat is, is there any need to ask
It was found out that Bu Shulin was murdered, so the person who murdered her is naturally not innocent.
Governor Yu closed his eyes and said, "Princess, please go back."
"As the governor, you should know better than me how difficult it is to resolve the tomb robbery case." Shen Xihe continued, "His Majesty is only seeking a quick resolution now and will not waste too much time on you alone. Once the crime of tomb robbery is committed, it will not be borne by you alone."
This has caused Your Majesty to have to issue an edict of remorse, and has caused such great public resentment. It would not be excessive for Your Majesty to sentence all nine generations of the clan to death.
The people are the real victims this time, and they will only feel that killing the entire clan is a great relief.
Governor Yu clenched his hands, took a deep breath, and said with great restraint: "Princess, please go back!"
Shen Xihe had never thought that even if he exterminated his entire clan, he would not be able to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. What kind of benefits did the person behind the scenes give him to make him resist it alone, even at the cost of implicating King Zhao
"Princess, why is Governor Yu so stubborn?" After Shen Xihe came out of the cell, Zhenzhu couldn't figure it out.
"There is only one possibility." Shen Xihe said calmly, "He is a real participant and plays an extremely important role in the tomb robbery case. If we investigate further, he will not be able to clear himself. The extermination of his entire clan is inevitable."
"Even so, we shouldn't let the accomplice go." Zhenzhu felt that it was impossible for human nature to let Governor Yu watch his entire clan being exterminated while another person went unpunished.
"The extermination of the entire clan is inevitable." Shen Xihe said, "What if he has an illegitimate child outside who can preserve a trace of his bloodline, and the continuation of this bloodline happens to be in the hands of his accomplice?"
Pearl had not thought of such a possibility, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense.
The continuation of bloodline is a matter of utmost importance. Since the nine clans will inevitably be exterminated no matter what, the only option is to save those who can be saved.
