Chapter 684: Execution (5)

The servants of the Shen family were all sent into exile while the masters and madams were all executed with the exception of the first branch.

It had been a long time since such a big case happened in Ming Qi, and this case did not seem to be so serious. The government seemed to have deliberately kept it a secret. They only announced that Shen Wan was convicted of failing to do his job and causing a great loss to Ming Qi.

However, no one knew what the "loss" was.

This was how officials were. If the emperor wanted the officials to die, they had no choice but to die. Sometimes, Emperor Wen Hui did not even bother to think of a reason to execute the officials. Now that Shen Wan and Shen Gui's official careers had hit the rock bottom, there was no one who wanted to speak up for them. In short, everything happened so quickly that no one expected it.

Shen Miao would naturally go and see the execution.
