Chapter 809 Jiang Mushi is in trouble
Zheng and Jiang Zhitong breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Jiang Mushi was currently safe and sound.
But then, they learned that this matter was a deliberate frame-up by Prince Su, and they both became nervous again.
"Prince Su is of noble status. If he is determined to hold on to this matter, what should Mu Shi do?" Zheng was worried.
Neither Jiang Suining nor Wei Yao said anything.
Jiang Zhitong looked at their expressions and guessed something. "Did you meet Prince Su? Did he put forward any conditions?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng hurriedly said, "What conditions did you put forward? As long as our Jiang family can do it, we will agree to it. No matter what, the most urgent task now is to resolve this matter and rescue Mu Shi from the prison!"
"Madam, please don't worry." Jiang Zhitong comforted his wife. Looking at Jiang Suining and Wei Yao's hesitant and solemn expressions, he asked again, "Did Prince Su raise some difficult requests?"
Jiang Suining shook his head. "It's not that difficult to do, but his request may involve other things. The details... I can't say more for now. But we are worried that if we do what he says, it is very likely that we will help the evildoer."
Jiang Zhitong and Zheng's hearts sank at the same time.
They rarely saw Jiang Suining looking so embarrassed.
Most of the time, the daughter is calm and confident of victory.
This expression at this moment only shows that this matter is really not that easy.
After thinking it over, Jiang Zhitong spoke seriously.
"If it is really as you said, then we cannot agree to Prince Su's conditions. Our Jiang family must never do anything to help the tyrant."
Zheng moved her lips as if she wanted to refute, but after seeing her master's expression, she finally swallowed it back.
"Master is right. We in the Jiang family cannot help the evildoers. But we cannot help but save Mu Shi. There must be other ways."
"There are indeed other ways to try." Wei Yao mentioned the methods that Jiang Suining had mentioned in front of Prince Su before.
She deliberately ignored the idea of asking Shen Yanxi to find a way to help.
In her opinion, Sui Ning could say so, but she couldn't.
Although the Shen family and the Jiang family are related by marriage, Shen Yanxi is in the court, where all kinds of things are complicated and unpredictable, and he cannot ask the other party to help.
If he said it in front of his father and mother at this time, it would only make Shen Yanxi embarrassed.
"If donating our property can solve this problem, then we will donate it!" Zheng said hurriedly, "Money is just something outside of our body. As long as our family can live in peace, we can earn more later at worst."
"Madam is right. The most urgent task now is to ensure that Mu Shi can return safely, and that our Jiang family is not implicated in this incident. As for the rest, they are not important." Jiang Zhitong looked a little more relaxed.
If it can be solved with money, it’s not a big deal for the Jiang family.
After all, it is better than being schemed by that Prince Su and forced to do something you don't want to do.
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Shen Yanxi suddenly spoke.
This sentence made the atmosphere in the entire lobby, which had just slightly eased, become solemn again.
"My dear son-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Zheng asked nervously.
"First, they arranged for someone to tamper with the goods stored by the Jiang family early on, and then they set up traps step by step to do this. Prince Su has put so much thought into this, I'm afraid he won't just sit there and watch the Jiang family solve this matter so easily."
Shen Yanxi's words made Jiang Suining's heart skip a beat, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Are you suspecting that Prince Su might attack Mu Shi in order to threaten us?"
Wei Yao was stunned, and then her face turned pale quickly.
"It is very likely that Prince Su will not give up after doing so much. Even if the Jiang family hands over all their wealth, it will be handed over to the national treasury and will not fall into the hands of Prince Su. Then everything he did before will be in vain."
Jiang Suining quickly looked at Shen Yanxi.
The latter understood and immediately said, "I will go find Pei Zhaozhi now and ask him to find a way to get the person to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice, and then take careful precautions to prevent Prince Su from having a chance to take action."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Jiang Suining nodded quickly.
The two did not delay. After leaving the Jiang family, in order to save time, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi acted separately.
Shen Yanxi went to the prison to prevent any unexpected situation from happening, while Jiang Suining went to find Pei Zhaozhi and asked him for help.
After listening to Jiang Suining's explanation of the whole story, Pei Zhaozhi immediately agreed.
Most of the people detained in the Ministry of Justice are serious criminals, and the current situation is not suitable for locking Jiang Mushi up.
Finally, it was decided to go to the Dali Temple. Pei Zhaozhi first sent someone to the Dali Temple to smooth things over and make arrangements, and then he and Jiang Suining went to the Imperial City Yamen together.
However, just after they arrived, they received news.
Jiang Mushi suddenly fell ill in the cell and is now unconscious.
The people were temporarily placed in a room in the backyard of the yamen.
As Jiang Suining and his companions rushed over, the yamen runners were explaining things carefully.
They said that they had absolutely no negligence, but for some reason, the person suddenly fell into a coma.
What he meant was that he hoped Jiang Suining, Shen Yanxi and others would not blame the government for this matter.
In the room, the doctor was taking Jiang Mushi's pulse. Shen Yanxi was standing beside him with a serious face. When he saw Jiang Suining come in, his expression was full of apology.
"Ningning, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. If I could be faster on the way..."
"You can't be blamed for this." Jiang Suining interrupted Shen Yanxi's apology and looked at the bed anxiously.
Jiang Mushi lay on the bed with his eyes closed and a pale face. His brows were slightly furrowed and he looked somewhat painful.
The doctor next to him was concentrating on taking his pulse, his brows furrowed more and more.
When the doctor withdrew his hand, Jiang Suining immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it?"
"The pulse is chaotic. I can't tell whether it's an acute illness or poisoning."
Pei Zhaozhi had also followed over. When he heard what the doctor said, he immediately asked, "What's the situation? Is it life-threatening?"
"According to the pulse, it should not be life-threatening for the time being. However, I cannot say for sure whether the condition will get worse." The doctor sighed, stood up and bowed, "My medical skills are not good enough. Please ask someone else to take a closer look at this young master."
"Yuanliang, go get the imperial physician immediately." Shen Yanxi ordered outside.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Pei Zhaozhi said worriedly, "Mr. Jiang is a criminal now. If we ask the imperial physician to diagnose him, I'm afraid it will give people something to blame."
