If I remember correctly, I once handled a case where the victim was also pushed off Camel Ridge. After tracing the clues, I ordered people to search the cliff, and that person is still alive.
Shi Yun had dealt with countless cases, most of which were in other regions. He had indeed served near Yingzhou, but the Camel Ridge case was just a casual remark; after all, the Capital wouldn't bother to look into county cases.
This move was not only to intimidate but also to lay the groundwork for the resurrection of Grandson.
Alive, still alive.
As a result, cold sweat broke out on the Third Prince's forehead.
The Xuande Emperor could no longer bear to watch his son embarrass himself and intervened, stating that there was still hope for survival. The Court immediately ordered people to search carefully at the bottom of the cliff.
No need for that.
Shi Yun rarely interrupted the Xuande Emperor. He was a diligent and loyal old minister, but he also had his temper and boundaries.
A-Yuan was his bottom line; the emperor protected his son, and he would protect his grandson!
The Court sending people? Ha, were they going to save someone or silence them?
Your Majesty, Shi Yun bowed respectfully. After receiving news of mourning from the Prince's Mansion yesterday, I have already sent people to Yingzhou. The Court has been busy lately, so there’s no need for Your Majesty and His Highness to worry.
Qin Junyong was furious. Shi Yun, what exactly is your attitude? How dare you openly contradict my father's words?
Old ministers always spoke this way; His Highness's words were full of errors and should not be trusted.
You! How dare you question me!
I heard that His Highness just paraded Yongxin Marquis's Prison Cart through the streets?
What? Such treasonous acts cannot be overlooked? Are you speaking on behalf of the traitors? Do you know what such behavior entails? It is tantamount to being guilty alongside them!
Mingze frowned in dissatisfaction and stepped in to mediate. What the Third Prince said was inappropriate; convictions cannot be based on one person's words. Relevant departments need to investigate. Until then, it can only be considered suspicious. Since it is merely suspicion, he should not have been escorted to the Capital at all.
Moreover, he should not have paraded through the streets. Foolishness; how joyful now will only come back to bite later.
Just as Qin Junyong was about to refute Mingze's statement, the Xuande Emperor spoke up. Following Minister Ming's advice, we will investigate first. Until things are clarified, no further punishment shall be enacted. Dismissed!
Almost as soon as the Xuande Emperor finished speaking, Shi Yun immediately turned and walked out. Mingze glanced at the emperor's back before hurriedly following him. When they were close together, he whispered, how is your A-Yuan doing?
Not dead.
Then... then yesterday I heard news that I nearly choked on a Sesame Cake and almost followed your grandson. When I came to visit you, you wouldn’t let me in.
Where is he now? Do you need me to arrange someone to take care of him? I have plenty of manpower in other counties.
No need; he's lying in bed.
Mingze urged in surprise, "What? You've already returned to your eyes, and yet you're still making such a fuss in the court today? The current emperor is not like before; he's unpredictable. Aren't you afraid he might suddenly impose a severe punishment on you?"
"Not likely. His mind is occupied with that foolish son of his," Shi Yun paused for a moment before continuing, "Why shouldn't I be angry? Qin Junyong is about to kill A-Yuan. If it were you, could you endure it?"
"I can't endure it! But there are many ways to seek revenge; you don't have to—"
Shi Yun interrupted him, quickly sharing the news that Shi Yuan had brought back. The one colluding with the spies from Yingzhou and Dayu was the Third Prince! A-Yuan heard it with his own ears.
Due to the capital's insufficient grain reserves, the relief teams received an imperial decree to gather supplies along the way, but the situation in the granaries of various states and counties along the route was not optimistic.
