Chapter 812
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to deliver an imperial decree!"
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and looked at Mr. Wuzhai beside him in confusion.
Mr. Wuzhai pinched his beard, thought for a moment, and said,
"This matter may be related to the case that happened in the Jia Mansion this morning."
Shui Rong frowned, and after a long while he sighed,
"Alas! These are truly turbulent times, all sorts of monsters and demons are coming out!"
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and take a look first!"
Then he said to the old housekeeper outside the door,
"Have someone prepare. I'll be there soon!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Half an hour later,
Shui Rong returned to the hall with a frown on his face.
Seeing this, Mr. Wuzhai hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Your Majesty!"
Shui Rong waved his hand casually, walked to the chair and sat down, then looked at Mr. Wu Zhai and said,
"The Emperor's decree has arrived at the palace, but I'm a little confused."
"Oh?"
Mr. Wuzhai also came out of curiosity.
Shui Rong sighed softly,
"The Emperor has ordered me to assist the government in handling the case at the Jia Mansion last night. Sir, what do you think the Emperor's intentions are?"
"What do you think, Your Majesty, should I get involved?"
Mr. Wuzhai pondered for a moment, and suddenly a confident arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Shui Rong and said solemnly,
"Your Highness, you must participate in this matter and give Daming Palace a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!"
Shui Rong stretched out his hand.
"Please enlighten me, sir!"
Mr. Wuzhai stroked his beard and said,
"The Four Princes and Eight Dukes are one. Although the Dukes Zhenguo, Shanguo, and Liguo have lost their power, they all have extraordinary influence in the army. At this time, except for the Emperor and His Majesty, no one wants to cause trouble at this time!"
"This can be seen from the fact that after Duke Shanguo was brought to the Divine Capital, he was thrown into the Heavenly Prison without any trial or judgment!"
Shui Rong stared at him and thought for a moment, then nodded.
"What you said is correct, sir!"
Mr. Wuzhai continued,
"Although the Jia family has declined, such a major case has occurred. If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably affect the other families."
"They will wonder if the emperor is deliberately targeting the lineage of the Four Princes and Eight Dukes? Or is the imperial court truly weak, allowing such a case to happen even under the emperor's feet?"
As he said this, Mr. Wuzhai looked at Shui Rong and sighed,
"The reason why the Emperor asked Your Highness to handle this case is because he has great expectations for you."
"But at the same time, as long as Your Highness comes forward, the other families will certainly agree with the outcome of this case."
After Mr. Wuzhai's explanation, Shuirong suddenly understood.
"I understand! I will handle this case, and I will do it quickly! Do it well!"
Mr. Wuzhai smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Shui Rong bowed to Mr. Wuzhai.
"I am going to the Jia Mansion to investigate immediately. How about you please accompany me?"
Mr. Wuzhai stood up and said,
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"
……
Rongguo Mansion.
Because people were kidnapped from both the East and West Prefectures, and many people died.
There was a heavy atmosphere throughout the mansion.
In Rongxi Hall,
Grandmother Jia looked at her sobbing daughters-in-law and wives, and her adorable grandson Jia Baoyu nestled beside her.
At this moment, I feel both happy and sad.
What made her happy was that although her darling grandson was no different from her granddaughter, he got out of bed on his own this morning and came to pay his respects to her after the monk and the Taoist priest came to visit her yesterday.
She was surprised and relieved at the same time.
Sadly, a very serious murder occurred in the mansion last night, and more than a dozen servants died.
There were more than 2,000 people in Rongguo Mansion, so the death of a dozen people was nothing.
But after all, there are so many people and so many different opinions. If there is no proper explanation, people's hearts will be scattered.
This is nothing, the most important thing is last night,
She was originally a key to the future planning of the Jia family. However, her granddaughter, Lin Daiyu, who was canonized as the Princess of Leping County by imperial decree, was also abducted by thieves in the mansion.
This made her feel that her efforts were in vain, and she also worried that the palace would hold the Jia family accountable for this.
Moreover, even Tanchun, whom she had been planning for a long time and preparing for the marriage, was abducted by the thieves in the panic.
