After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster
Chapter 224 Caught off guard
The sixth prince seemed to be touched. He stood up and left without saying a word, hurriedly going to do something for the third prince.
Seeing his hurried away figure, the third prince felt anxious in his heart.
Having such a good brother who is always rushing to do things for him has saved him so much trouble over the years!
The hurried Sixth Prince turned a corner and after making sure that the Third Prince could no longer see him, he slowed down.
"Your Highness, are we really going to clean up the mess for this idiot?" The guards around the Sixth Prince were a little unhappy, "We have done so much for this idiot before, what are you trying to do?"
"Then what can we do? After all, Liu Bohua brings so many things to us every year, and this idiot also gives us a lot of money." The Sixth Prince sneered, "For the sake of the gold and silver, let's make another trip for this idiot. Bar!"
"As for what I am trying to do..." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, "I am in a good mood today, so I will tell you that when you look at things, you can't just see the trouble. When you do something, you can recognize the people who can do it. As long as you manage this group of people well, they will become your connections and relationships, which will naturally come in handy in the future."
"Otherwise, you would think that the third prince is the son of a noble concubine. With such an identity, who would dare to manipulate him casually? The concubine's intentions are not all behind it!"
"What a pity! My third brother didn't realize that the imperial concubine was paving the way for him!"
Now, the road that the imperial concubine had worked so hard to pave was all gone for him.
So he didn't mind cleaning up some of this idiot's mess.
The sixth prince suddenly changed the topic: "Remember, things must be done securely and secretly."
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately after escorting His Highness back to the mansion." The guard said with cupped hands.
The Sixth Prince said "Hmm" and walked forward for a long time before turning around and getting on the carriage.
The people under the Sixth Prince worked very neatly and got the job done before it got dark. After nodding their heads again to make sure there were no missing persons, they threw the group of people together with the box.

For several days in a row, Shen Chuan did not move at all. He even took several early morning leaves and only dealt with official duties for half a day every day. The rest of the time he stayed in Tianshui Lane.
Seeing this, the third prince also took a few days off and stayed in the mansion to rest quietly and calm down his shock. He ate delicacies every day to nourish his frightened heart.
However, just when everyone thought that this matter was about to turn over, Shen Chuan suddenly came to court again.
Not only did he go to court, but he also sent a document to the Minister of Household Affairs to collude with others and accept bribes.
Shen Chuan had not done anything in the capital before. Everyone thought that he was focused on Jiang Fuyue, but they didn't expect that he actually hid this move.
He pointed his sword directly at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, catching everyone off guard.
It was well known to everyone that the Minister of Hubu was a member of the third prince, even the emperor knew about it.
If the third prince were here, even if he risked half his life, he would still have to defend him and find a way to keep things under control.
But he was not there.
The Sixth Prince was about to come forward, but was blocked by Shen Chuan who said, "Any defender must have some connection." He could only watch the so-called witness go to the Golden Palace.
That person was the accountant who came all the way from Qicheng with Liu Bohua.
Shen Chuan's people took him away first and threw a dead person as a scapegoat for him. However, they did not take him away in a hurry. Instead, they let him witness the murder of his companions, which frightened him directly. Let him do whatever he is told.
The accountant walked up to the golden palace tremblingly, and knelt down with a plop. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He only told in his voice how the Liu family had contacted the capital over the years and what letters he had left behind.
Liu Bohua and the Minister of Revenue were too far apart. To prevent any mistakes, they would put their private seals on every document.
But this time, just in case the Minister of Revenue turned his back and refused to help, the accountant brought over all the letters that he had sent over the years as evidence, and also selected a few extremely important ones and kept them with him. The son actually came in handy.
The accountant always kept Liu Bohua's private seal close to his body, while the emperor sent the imperial army to search out the private seal of the Minister of Revenue from the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
After comparison and appraisal by a specialist, it was confirmed that the two private seals in front of me were exactly the same as the seals on the document and there was no mistake.
Now, even if the King of Heaven comes, he will not be able to protect the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs.
The emperor had already attached great importance to the matter of opening the city, but now he was even more furious. He didn't even give the Minister of Household Affairs a chance to explain, and directly ordered someone to take him out and deal with him immediately.
After the early court, Shen Chuan led the imperial army to the House of Hubu Shangshu. According to the emperor's imperial decree, the men of the House of Hubu Shangshu were exiled and the female relatives were banished to the palace.
This incident happened so fast that when the news reached the Third Prince's Mansion, the Secretary of the Household Department's blood had not yet dried.
When the third prince heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance had died like this, he couldn't even breathe and he fainted.
This Shangshu is an official of the third rank!
What a weight!
In the beginning, he spent a lot of effort to get this person under his command!
Now, before the capital has been recovered from the Minister of Household Affairs, the person is gone first. How can he bear this!
The news that Shen Chuan led people to ransack his home soon spread to Tianshui Lane.
When Bai Lu applied medicine to Jiang Fuyue, she told Jiang Fuyue about the incident.
After these days of recuperation, the marks on Jiang Fuyue's neck have not completely dissipated, but speaking is no longer as difficult as before.
"He is quite familiar with the matter of confiscating homes," Jiang Fuyue said.
Bai Lu laughed and almost lost his grip: "Isn't it?"
"What about the accounting office?"
"I heard that together with the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, the execution was decided."
Jiang Fuyue said "Oh".
Bai Lu carefully applied a layer of moist ointment to Jiang Fuyue's injury, closed the jar tightly again, and said: "Girl, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon again. Just now, the Queen sent someone to post the notice for this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. I sent it over, but your injury..."
Hearing this, Jiang Fuyue was a little surprised.
When she was still the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she never received any posts from the palace. She didn't expect that now that she was out of the Hou Mansion, she would be able to attend the palace banquet.
It's ridiculous to say that.
Jiang Fuyue's eyes fell on the mirror.
This injury on the neck...is really an eyesore.
Even if she wore high-collared clothes, she couldn't completely hide the traces.
Jiang Fuyue was a little worried.
"I'll go shopping in the past two days to see if there's anything I can cover myself with."
"...That's all it can do." Bai Lu nodded.
After Jiang Fuyue applied the medicine and went out, she happened to see Wei Ming coming over to send a message: "Girl, the young master is back. Go back and take a bath. He will be here soon."
Jiang Fuyue nodded, wondering when Shen Chuan became so particular. He had to shower and change clothes after going out.
Wei Ming seemed to have noticed Jiang Fuyue's doubts, so he smiled and said: "Young master said that he has some things on his body that he shouldn't have, so he naturally needs to wash them off before he comes to see the girl."
Jiang Fuyue pursed her lips: "He does have a good heart."
