Chapter 375 2-day deadline
After Shen Yanxi left the palace, he happened to see the Jiang family's carriage rushing over.
Jiang Mushi had just gone to the Shen family and was told that Shen Yanxi was still in the palace, so he immediately hurried over.
After learning from Jiang Mushi and Xier that Jiang Suining was really missing, Shen Yanxi's heart sank and his face looked extremely ugly.
"Lord Shen, you must save the young lady. The Third Prince and his men have suffered at the hands of the young lady before. If the young lady falls into their hands, something will definitely be wrong!" Xier was extremely anxious, looking at Shen Yanxi she wished she could kneel down in front of him.
Jiang Mushi was equally anxious, but looking at Shen Yanxi's expression, he guessed and asked, "Has the Third Prince already looked for you?"
Shen Yanxi frowned and nodded.
Jiang Mushi grabbed his sleeve and said, "So they arrested my sister. Are they trying to threaten you with something?"
"Yes." Shen Yanxi nodded again.
"What the hell is going on? It keeps happening over and over again. Will it ever end?"
Jiang Mushi spoke in an angry tone, grabbing Shen Yanxi's sleeve tightly, not caring that they were still at the gate of the palace, and spoke directly.
"No matter what the Third Prince wants you to do, this is a matter between you two. If anything happens to my sister because of this, I will never forgive you!"
"Master, please don't be like this. Let go of Master Shen first. I believe that Master Shen must be very worried about Miss, and he will definitely save Miss!" Xier hurriedly persuaded, and did not forget to explain to Shen Yanxi, "Master Shen, Master is too worried about Miss, so he was just a little bit angry. Please don't be angry with him."
"I won't." Shen Yanxi spoke in a muffled voice, his tone was very bitter, "I was indeed careless this time, and it was me who implicated Sui Ning. Mu Shi, I promise you that I will make sure your sister is safe and sound."
After hearing what Shen Yanxi said, Jiang Mushi finally managed to suppress his anger and let go of his sleeves.
"You have to keep your word. Anyway, nothing must happen to my sister!"
"I promise, I won't let anything happen to her."
The Jiang family is still waiting for news. After getting Shen Yanxi's assurance, although Jiang Mushi is still uneasy, he can only hurry back to the Jiang family for the time being.
Xiao Ling stood inside the palace gate, taking in what had just happened. After Jiang Mushi and the others left, he walked out of the palace gate and came to Shen Yanxi's side again.
"If Lord Shen wants Jiang Suining to be safe and sound within two days, then he must use Chu Yisheng's life in exchange."
"Does the Third Prince really want to go this far?" Shen Yanxi's eyes were filled with anger.
"Now that things have come to this, Lord Shen, why bother to waste more words? Remember, you only have two days. If Chu Yishen is not dead after two days, then you must notify the Jiang family to collect Jiang Suining's body. No..."
Xiao Ling smiled cruelly.
"By then, this prince will definitely order her body to be thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves, so there will be no need to collect the body."
"You dare!" Shen Yanxi's expression suddenly changed.
"Whether you dare or not, Lord Shen can give it a try. In addition, this prince reminds you that it is best not to make a big deal about Jiang Suining's disappearance, otherwise this prince cannot guarantee that he will take action in advance."
After saying this, Xiao Ling left.
Shen Yanxi stood there stiffly for a long time before getting on the carriage and rushing to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family was in chaos after learning that Jiang Suining was captured by the third prince.
When he saw Shen Yanxi coming, he immediately asked about the situation. After learning about Xiao Ling's threat, he became even more panicked.
"Yanxi, will the Third Prince really take action? And do we really not need to report this matter to the authorities?"
"Since Xiao Ling dared to say that, I think he has made sufficient preparations. Sui Ning must have been hidden by them in a place that is difficult to find easily. Reporting to the police is indeed not a good idea. If we anger him, it will be a disaster for both sides..."
Zheng said hurriedly, "No, we can't report it to the authorities! What's the point of fighting to the death? I don't care what happens to the Third Prince, but Sui Ning must not be in trouble!"
Jiang Zhitong also hurriedly said: "That's right, Sui Ning is now in the hands of the Third Prince, we can't anger him. Yanxi, what conditions did the Third Prince put forward, can you do it?"
Shen Yanxi lowered his head and remained silent.
Chu Yisheng is now in the Dali Temple. It is not easy to attack him, but there are ways. However, in this way...
"My sister has been captured by the Third Prince. Is there anything you can't say?" Jiang Mushi said unhappily.
"This matter is related to an important case of the imperial court. The more you know, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."
"Okay, I don't need to ask what the specifics are, but what are you thinking? Can you save my sister?" Jiang Mushi asked anxiously.
Shen Yanxi was silent again.
This time's silence made Jiang Mushi and the others feel depressed.
"Yanxi, Auntie knows that you are a good child, and I also know that you have always been sincere to Suining. This time, you can't ignore Suining no matter what."
"That's right, Yanxi, we may not understand what's going on in the court, but as long as Sui Ning can be saved, the Jiang family will do whatever it takes. If it really doesn't work, go and tell the third prince that the Jiang family is willing to hand over all the shops and property as long as he can let Sui Ning come back." Jiang Zhitong said anxiously.
"Yes, yes! We in the Jiang family have money. You tell the Third Prince that we are willing to exchange money for Sui Ning, or you take us to the Third Prince's mansion and we will go to beg the Third Prince in person." Zheng's tone was already filled with anxious tears.
Seeing this, Shen Yanxi felt very complicated.
Under their gaze, Shen Yanxi took a deep breath and finally spoke.
"Uncle, aunt, Mu Shi, I promise you that I will make sure Sui Ning returns home safely."
Half an incense stick later, Shen Yanxi left the Jiang family. Before leaving, he specifically instructed that the news must not be leaked.
It was already night time and the streets were becoming quieter. Shen Yanxi did not return to the Shen family, but went to the Dali Temple.
Pei Zhaozhi happened to stay in the Dali Temple tonight. He was very surprised to see Shen Yanxi coming over at this time.
"Brother Shen, has something happened?" Pei Zhaozhi asked worriedly.
"Nothing." Shen Yanxi shook his head, "It's just that this case has been dragging on for a long time, and I want to know how Chu Yisheng is doing."
"Then you've come at the right time. Although Chu Yisheng had previously betrayed the Minister of Industry, there were no letters or other evidence of their communication. It is difficult to bring down a minister with just a confession, so I did not report the news to the emperor immediately."
"But after this period of interrogation and investigation, in addition to Chu Yisheng, I have also obtained evidence of other bribery. I have sorted it out today and plan to present it to the emperor tomorrow along with Chu Yisheng's signed confession. If nothing unexpected happens, I can bring the Minister of Works to the Dali Temple right away."
