Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 432 Framed by Death
The reason why Shen Zhezi lived in the garden villa in the eastern suburbs was just to seek a quiet life.But after this incident, the quiet atmosphere of the garden was quickly broken.

After appeasing the people on his side, night had already fallen, and it was useless to sit in the room, so Shen Zhezi arranged for Ji You and Lu Yong to go back to the city together, and check the rumors in Taichung by the way.

Yu Manzhi thought he could prove Shen Zhezi's innocence, so he lived and boarded at Shen's house for the past few days, and finally waited for a chance to pay back, so he wanted to go back to the city together to summon the children from various families in the capital to help him clarify.

But this kind of behavior is tantamount to 300 taels of silver here, and Shen Zhezi is really grateful for this kindness, and directly asks his family to pull Yu Manzhi down and lock him up, lest this kid become a pig teammate, god assists and other stupid things.

Not long after Ji You and others left, many cars drove across Qingxi and came to visit the manor one after another.Some spied in the name of visiting, while others worriedly reminded Shen Zhezi to be careful.

In such a season, it may not be a good thing for a large number of people to gather here.Shen Zhezi didn't bother to distinguish whether the other party was a human or a ghost from those half-smiling faces, and since he got home, he provided food, drink, singing and dancing, and asked Diao Yuan and Ren Qiu to accompany him at home, while he withdrew himself and went to the backyard to avoid quietness.

Princess Xingnan went out hunting with Cui Ling, the young lady of the Cui family, under the guard of Zhuang Ding in the afternoon. She had just returned home and changed into her hunting clothes, so it is unknown what happened.

When Shen Zhezi returned to the room, the princess was sitting on the bed in a silk blanket, laughing and chatting anecdotes with several female relatives in the mansion.Seeing Shen Zhezi returning to the room, several ladies left one after another. The princess stepped forward to take the cloak that Shen Zhezi took off, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "There is dancing and music in the vestibule again, don't those people have nothing to do? Why do we have nothing to do?" They have already escaped to the village, and they still want to catch up?"

Shen Zhezi took a sip of the hot tea served by Xiao Guaer, then sat down and said with a smile: "Wealth is deep in the mountains, and we have distant relatives. If there is no family, I will reflect on what I have done after years of hard work. The rise and fall of honor and disgrace , all have troubles, although there is a lot of noise right now, after all, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the merits are not ruined, which is already a first-class blessing."

"Yes, yes, the son-in-law is a virtuous man in the world, and Jiang Dongjun is selected. We women are short-sighted and short-sighted, so we should just wait for grace within the curtain of beauty."

There was no lack of complaints in the princess's mouth, but there was a smile on her face, and she ordered someone to bring the food into the room: "I thought you would not return until late again, and you have already eaten with Mrs. A Ling."

Shen Zhezi was not hungry at all, but watched the princess busy going in and out, while still talking about some internal and external trivial matters: "I met Princess Donghai outside the village in the afternoon. It turned out that the princess also lived in the village outside the city. You Do you have anything to do tomorrow? Do you want to accompany me to visit the concubine?"

The concubine of the East China Sea Palace is the princess Pei of the late East China Sea King Sima Yue. Going to visit is also considered to be healthy and healthy.

Shen Zhezi had met this Concubine Pei a few times, probably because of his act of killing the King of Xiyang years ago, he was taught a few words to respect the clan, and then he was not very happy to see her.He had never benefited from the Yue Mansion, so he was too lazy to listen to those gossips.

"Go on your own if you want to go. By the way, tell the king of the East China Sea. When you return to the capital, you will inform the mansion. I will invite him once."

Shen Zhezi is not happy to see Concubine Pei who is relying on the old and selling the old, but the king of Donghai has a more upright attitude recently, so he can have some exchanges.The clan is good or bad, after all, it is also a force that cannot be ignored in the current situation.The five horses crossing the river are almost dead, and the main force of the future clan will be the line of Emperor Yuan.

Later, Sima Yu, the emperor of Qingtan who became very famous, is still just a child now. He was renamed King of Xuancheng by Yu Liang in his early years, and he is still raised in the capital.Therefore, among the many kings at present, the King of Donghai is the most famous.

However, the King of the East China Sea himself does not have any big ambitions. He is quite happy to be a rich and idle person, and rarely expresses any clear opinions. This fact has won the favor of the people of the time.

When the food was served, Princess Xingnan sat at the table and helped to prepare the dishes. When she heard Shen Zhezi's words, she also frowned and said, "I don't like to see the concubine either. It's always said that there are no old affairs between China and North Korea. Others I can't even get in the way. But since I know it, and I'm a neighbor, it's not good to see me. The poor princess is a docile person, but there is an elder who is not in a good mood..."

"I also plan to lead you to the high tower in the garden, and tell you how I looked at you from the tower at that time. If you don't want to go, then forget it."

Speaking of this, the princess can't help feeling a little regretful.She first met Shen Zhezi in the East China Sea King's Manor, but she has always had a different feeling for it.

When Shen Zhezi heard the little girl's thoughts, he said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing? When I see the king, I'll ask him if he would like to transfer the manor. Although his garden is not small, it is not small. It’s a bit out of the way. There are many garden villas near my house, and he can choose and replace them.”

"Are you serious?"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were raised immediately, and the smile on her face was even better, but she shook her head immediately: "What if he chooses a good garden? My family can't be too disadvantaged!"

"No matter how much wealth you have, it is no different from wood and stone if you can't use it. The family business management is to make the old and the young happy. As long as my wife is happy, there is nothing to cherish."

Shen Zhezi took a sip of the soup from the princess's hand, and then said with pride, and then the little lady's soft lips gently pecked her left cheek.

Early the next morning, another person came to report the progress of the matter, and the person who came was Zhang Mu from the Zhang family in Danyang.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Mu said eagerly with a respectful expression: "When I first heard about this evil thing, the little people were also terrified. My father visited various houses overnight, and no one knows who is responsible for this crime."

Hearing that Zhang Mu opened his mouth to defend himself, Shen Zhezi nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile: "Zhang Lang is overthinking, this felony of attacking a minister of Taiwan cannot be decided by the people, after all, we still have to wait for the county government and the court to decide." Only after the results of Wei's investigation can a conclusion be made."

"The county government took charge of this matter from Xiaomin Congfu. The interrogation was intensified yesterday. Those criminals only said that they had no one to do anything. They were all out of righteous indignation. They denounced Xue's village thieves for not being sympathetic to the plight of the villagers. , his heart should be punished..."

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Zhang Mu said hastily again.To defend himself in such a low voice, Zhang Mu felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he had to do it.

Earlier, because of his poor speech, his father took the blame and has been imprisoned at home until now, and his family's status has dropped to a low point.However, the families of the Ji family and other villagers rose up because of the chaos. Now his family is suffering from the scramble for village capital, and he does not want to provoke another Shen family for no reason.

Hearing Zhang Mu's account, Shen Zhezi was overjoyed: "How did Xiaomin know the content of Taichung's discussion? Those murderers are so eager to cover up, you can see that they are evil and deserve to be punished!"

"That's right, my father also has something to say at home. He deeply hates the murderer and his cunning! Originally, Xiaomin should have come to tell us about it yesterday, but the night was dark and the road was steep, so he didn't come until this morning. I hope the son-in-law is not to blame."

There is nothing to say about this point. A large number of people poured into the house last night. Shen Zhezi believed that apart from some people who really cared about him, there were more people who incited and flirted with him, so as to aggravate his suspicion.As for Zhang Mu's choice to come during the day, it should be to let more people see that his family has no intention of competing with the Shen family. This consideration has to be said to be a bit of humiliation.

"I'm also jobless now, and I'm relaxed. I shouldn't have asked too much about such a matter. Since Zhang Lang is in the mansion, there is no need to rush away. I will let my family prepare food and have a meal with Zhang Lang. "

After Zhang Mu heard the words, he quickly straightened his sitting posture and nodded his thanks.Apart from proving his innocence, he came to the Shen family this time with the intention of relieving the relationship.

In this chaos, his father Zhang Kai was originally suspected of being a rebel, but later he was trapped in Stone City and was criticized by many villagers. He was accused of many crimes and almost died because of it.Although in the end he was only imprisoned and sent back to his hometown, his popularity has already been greatly lost.

Originally, the old enmity with the Shen family was also deep, but the gentry always had too much helplessness as a family, since they must live if they are not dead.The Zhang family in Danyang is also a big sect, and it is not his family. Knowing that the strength and status are no longer available, if you continue to blindly target resentment, not only will it not help, but it may cause the entire family to fall into disputes, and the branches will group up to besiege Kill the backbone!

After being entertained for a meal in the manor, all Zhang Mu could taste was bitterness and helplessness. Before he left, he did not forget to show his kindness again, and told him the news: "Xue Gu's return to the capital this time was recommended by Wang Jiangzhou. Among the entourage in the capital, there are also a few old soldiers from Jiangzhou."

This is the sore point of the stabbing in the back of a family of friends. Although Shen Zhezi will be able to find out what kind of route this Xue Gu is sooner or later, it is impossible to investigate the details of the other party's entourage in such a short time.

In the afternoon, Chu Jiye came again, and told a detail with a solemn face: "Those criminals, who were shot with hidden needles, should be planning to commit suicide by swallowing needles after being imprisoned, and they will commit suicide without evidence! It's just that the county government didn't take them into custody. A scuffle broke out during the prison, and one of the murderers was found out after stabbing the official with a sharp needle."

When talking about these things, Chu Jiye's expression was extremely serious.After this incident, he had no doubts about Shen Zhezi anymore. If it was really Shen Zhezi who did it, it was just venting his anger, so why are there so many things.If several culprits died in prison, Shen Zhezi, who was offended by Xue Gu, would be the most suspected person, and it is hard to escape the blame for this kind of thing happening in the Danyang Yin Chuhong office.

Compared to Chu Jiye's fear and rejoicing, Shen Zhezi frowned slightly after hearing the words, feeling that things were a little difficult.Judging from the situation of this family, these murderers are dead men at all, and it is impossible to obtain the truth through interrogating them.Moreover, the so-called dead men were all raised at home and had little contact with others. They were unrecognizable in terms of accent and appearance, and their history could rarely be traced.

But the matter has come to this point, Shen Zhezi has actually outlined the outline of the matter in his heart, and the truth is of little significance to him.Now we need to consider how to eliminate the impact as soon as possible and make a counterattack.
