Li Jin Nian followed Qin Shuying to a carriage by the roadside.
The two of them sat facing each other.
The distance was quite close.
Although this was not the first time they had met, it was the closest they had ever been to each other.
"Did Mr. Qin wait for me here?”
Li Jin Nian asked.
It broke the silence.
"Yes."
Qin Shuying nodded slightly.
She shouldn't have been the one to deal with this matter, but it happened so suddenly that Wang Pingchang asked her to come over and settle it.
"Lord Li, you don't have to worry about Shen Yunshang.”
Qin Shuying raised her head and looked at Li Jin Nian.
"Did Chief Wang send you?”
Li Jin Nian asked.
From the moment he saw Qin Shuying, he had been thinking about this question.
Although Qin Shuying was the empress's subordinate on the surface, Li Jin Nian didn't think that the empress would let her come.
Therefore, only Wang Pingchang was left.
Although Li Jinnian didn't know the relationship between Qin Shuying and Wang Pingchang, he could vaguely guess a little.
"Yes."
Qin Shuying did not deny it.
She was just a little surprised that Li Jin Nian could guess it so quickly.
"Shen Yunshang was indeed captured by Yu Rong, but the real mastermind behind this is still Qi Yan.”
Qin Shuying continued.
Qi Yan, this Qi Yan again.
Back then, he was the one who plotted against his father and almost exiled his entire family to that barren land beyond the Great Wall.
Moreover, if Qi Yan really got his way, it might be difficult to save the lives of their entire family.
After all, who could care so much when they were at the Frontier?
With Qi Yan's power, it was very easy to exterminate their entire family.
Not leaving a trace.
"The Chief Officer naturally believes in Lord Li's innocence, but what is the relationship between you and Shen Yunshang? Why would she bring so much gold to your house at night?”
Qin Shuying asked.
She wasn't questioning Li Jin Nian, but it was very important to clarify this matter.
"I'm in a cooperative relationship with her.”
Li Jin Nian said.
Then, he briefly explained what had happened between him and Shen Yunchang.
"That's probably what happened. General Shi and the others were present that day and can testify for me.”
"I see."
Qin Shuying nodded.
She had been to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant many times, and the taste was indeed very good.
It was not inferior to the imperial chefs in the palace.
Moreover, she had also heard from others today that the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had launched many new dishes.
Moreover, the taste was more than twice as good as before. Now, the entire street was packed with people queuing up, and the business was booming.
Previously, he thought that the chef of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had an epiphany and his culinary skills had improved greatly.
Only now did she realize that it was all thanks to Li Jin Nian.
"Does anyone else know that you asked Shen Yunchang about withdrawing money?”
Qin Shuying asked.
"I didn't tell anyone, but I don't know if Shen Yunshang told anyone.”
Li Jin Nian said.
Actually, the answer was already very clear.
Either Shen Yunshang had been bribed, or there was a traitor by her side.
However, Li Jin Nian still leaned towards the latter.
He was quite accurate at judging people.
If Shen Yunshang was the kind of person with evil intentions, no matter how capable she was, it was impossible for him to work with her.
"Speaking of which, it's quite a pity.”
A playful smile appeared on Qin Shuying's lips.
"Shen Yunshang has connections all over the capital. Just the six ministries, those ministers, and assistant ministers, how many of them have never eaten at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?"”
"Many ministers have a good relationship with Shen Yunshang.”
"But at this time, these people did not care about their feelings and directly captured Shen Yunshang.”
At this point, Qin Shuying's face turned sullen.
Perhaps it was because they were both women, but she was more sympathetic towards Shen Yunshang's plight.
At the same time, he felt contempt for the actions of those ministers.
"The news we received is that they are threatening and bribing Shen Yunshang in the prison of Yingtian Prefecture. They want her to admit that she bribed you.”
"But Shen Yunshang refused.”
Qin Shuying said.
When she said this, her eyes met with Li Jin Nian's.
She looked at the young man who was about her age.
Qin Shuying was really curious. How did he do it to make Shen Yunshang rather die than compromise with those people?
"…"
Li Jin Nian was touched when he heard Qin Shuying say that Shen Yunshang was unwilling to cooperate with those people to frame him.
"Did they torture him?"
Li Jin Nian asked.
This was his bottom line.
"Not at the moment."
Qin Shuying said truthfully.
What he meant was that if Shen Yunshang still refused to cooperate, she might still be tortured.
"A bunch of beasts."
"How can such a person be worthy of being an official?”
Li Jin Nian's expression was cold.
He discovered that he had still underestimated the bottom line of Qi Yan and these people.
In order to frame him, they would do anything.
He could even abandon Shen Yunshang, who he had a good relationship with.
Thinking about it, it made sense. To these people, how much was friendship worth?
His own interests were the most important.
Li Jin Nian suddenly felt that Shen Yunshang was also a tragic person.
"The chief officer asked me to wait for you here to stop you from going in to save him.”
"He asked you to wait for another day."
Qin Shuying said.
"I can wait, but can Shen Yunshang?”
Li Jin Nian said.
He naturally knew Wang Pingchang's intentions.
This was because the empress would officially bestow the imperial sword to him during the court session tomorrow morning. At the same time, she would give this sword an extraordinary meaning.
With this imperial sword, Li Jin Nian had a lot of power.
They could do many things in a legitimate manner.
"I have already sent someone into the palace to ask His Majesty to issue an imperial edict.”
"Tell them not to torture me."
"The imperial edict will probably arrive soon.”
Qin Shuying could feel Li Jinnian's concern for Shen Yunshang.
Coupled with his previous actions, Qin Shuying knew that this guy was somewhat unscrupulous and did whatever he wanted.
Therefore, he sent someone to look for the empress to issue the imperial edict in advance.
Hearing Qin Shuying's words, Li Jin Nian heaved a sigh of relief.
With the empress's imperial edict, those people would probably be wary.
But Li Jin Nian felt that it was still not enough.
He told the coachman to turn around and respond to the Heavenly Mansion Yamen.
Qin Shuying didn't get out of the car.
Because her identity was a little sensitive.
She lifted the curtain and saw Li Jin Nian striding to the entrance of the yamen through a small gap.
Li Jin Nian picked up his drumstick and started to beat the big drum at the door.
Soon, someone from the yamen came out to welcome them.
When Li Jin Nian saw the person who had come, he put the drumstick aside and said to the person,
"Go and tell your magistrate."”
"Who dares to lay a finger on Shen Yunchang?”
"I'll exterminate his entire clan!"
