Chapter 46

When Ren Shaochun heard Shen Qingling's footsteps going out, he quickly put down his sleeves and followed him out. When he dodged and passed the open door next door, he glanced at the dazed person in the room, turned his head to Shen Qingling's side, and whispered Asked: "The second lady is going to the government office now?"

Shen Qingling squinted at him, and asked back: "Don't Sanlang know that one?"

Wu Yunsheng is just a mere lawyer. With Ren Shaochun's identity and his usual style, even if he is familiar with the name, he can't immediately recall his resume and write it down as before.

There must be problems.

"Second lady is really a god-man, and she knows the arrival of autumn by hearing the sound..." Ren Shaochun's eyes were shining, and he was obviously completely convinced by Shen Qingling, "A few days ago, this Dr. Liu from the south of the city was frequently wandering outside the government office. , The yamen servants said that he was asking to see Wu Facao, and he brought a lot of Xie Yi."

However, Wu Yunsheng's refusal to meet was fine, but he refused to leave the government office when he was forced to do so.During this period of time, Ren Bingyi led the whole government to investigate the old cases together, so Wu Yunsheng had even more excuses to not see outsiders.

Hearing this, Shen Qingling groaned, and said: "Then he is not lying to me."

During the conversation, they left the inn one by one.

Go east from the inn, walk for half an hour, and you will see the gate of the Yangzhou government office.The two yamen servants at the gate were already very familiar with Shen Qingling, so during this time of saluting to Ren Shaochun, they also bowed to Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling frowned and smiled back.

At this moment, the Outer Street suddenly erupted in bluffing.Shen Qingling and Ren Shaochun turned their heads and saw a group of gray-clothed house servants hugging a man in red robe who didn't look very smart, and they were walking towards the government office.

With the cold wind blowing, Shen Qingling gathered her robe, turned her head and asked Ren Shaochun, "Who is in the Du family?"

Ren Shaochun admired him even more, and quickly replied: "Hey, the second lady has good eyesight. This is the second son of the Du family's direct branch, Du Chengyu, who is the same mother and brother as the Du Ya Nei that Fanglou enshrined."

After finishing speaking, Ren Shaochun cast a look at the yamen servants on both sides.

The yamen servant cleared his throat, stepped forward to block the Du family's group, and then said respectfully, "Everyone, there is a serious case in the government yamen. If there is nothing serious, please go back first."

Unexpectedly, Du Chengyu's face sank, and he looked at the two yamen servants arrogantly, and said, "Master Du, I can't get in, but the young lady can get in?"

It was Shen Qingling at the door who said it.

"Du Chengyu, don't make trouble with me." Ren Shaochun was extremely upset when he heard Shen Qingling mentioned in his stinky mouth, immediately folded his arms to block Shen Qingling, and raised his voice: "How smart do you have? What do you compare with Mr. Shen? This is the arrogance praised by Ren Zhizhou, so you are worthy of it?"

Shen Qingling didn't want to make too much publicity, so she lightly poked Ren Shaochun's back, and asked him: "Why is Du Zeyu here? Right now, the Du family has sent a concubine to the government office to be convicted. Ren Zhizhou forced a retrial?"

How did Ren Shaochun know?He could only shake his head, and explained in a low voice: "I went to look for you, Er Niangzi, early in the morning. I really don't know what else happened in the government office."

However, the answer came out of Du Zeyu's mouth very quickly.

"Ren Shaochun, who are you? Dare to show off in front of you, Master Du. I think you don't want to enter the gate of Lanxiangyuan!" Du Chengyu didn't give Ren Shaochun any face. He raised his hand and pointed at him, and continued: "Sensible Hurry up and let Master Du go in! Otherwise, when my old lady comes, you bunch of idiots will have to lie on their stomachs!"

Shen Qingling, the old lady of the Du family, has heard of it a little bit.

There were six princesses under the late emperor's knees, among which the sixth princess Li Youyu was the most beloved. Li Youyu was conferred the title of Jiale since birth, and married Beiliang Wang Gusu after Jiji.Before getting married, Li Youyu was worried about the frost and cold in Beiliang and felt sorry for the old servants around her, so she gave rewards to six old servants, including the wet nurse, to help them get out of slavery.

This old lady from the Du family is Li Youyu's wet nurse.

It must be impossible to say that the Du family's prosperity was not due to Li Youyu's contribution.Moreover, because the current emperor is Li Youyu's half-brother, and Li Youyu is more favored than when the previous emperor was there, the Du family naturally ascended to heaven together.

Du Chengyu showed the old woman out at this time, obviously this trip was not for selfish desires.

But Ren Shaochun didn't seem to understand the mystery, and still raised his chin and said: "It's useless for you to use your old lady to press me out. In the future, your Lanxiang Garden can not let me in. I will learn from you, my lord." It’s time to change to the right path!”

He said this so calmly that Du Chengyu, who was opposite him, forgot to choke for a while.When Du Chengyu came to his senses, Ren Shaochun had already led Shen Qingling into the government office.

"Looking at Du Chengyu, your father may have captured Du Chengye." Shen Qingling said softly, half a step behind Ren Shaochun.

Ren Shaochun at the front paused a step when he heard the words, and immediately ran towards the main hall, ignoring Shen Qingling behind him.Of course Shen Qingling didn't need him to pay attention, she had already quickened her pace and started to run along with him.

Inside, Ren Bingyi was sitting in the hall, with the officials on the left and the judges on the right. The clerks stood on both sides with files in their hands, as if they were being promoted to the hall.

Kneeling in front of the hall is a gentleman in white clothes and jade crown.

When Shen Qingling and Ren Shaochun arrived, they were dragged to the side hall by the waiting Ren Shaoyan before they left the courtyard.The three of them leaned against the wall connecting the side hall and the main hall, peeking at the scene in the main hall through a small hole in the wall.

"That's Du Chengye?" Shen Qingling asked softly.

Ren Shaoyan nodded and gestured with two fingers on the wall, meaning that Zhao Tongpan was now interrogating Du Guangyi, the concubine of the Du family, next door, and his elder brother was also watching over there to prevent any changes.

Indeed, the Du family's move did not give Ren Bingyi time, which made it impossible for Zhao Yi to continue to pursue the wilderness case, so he could only sentence Wu Mao's case first.

"Why is father asking him about last month?" Ren Shaochun asked without shame, "It stands to reason that even if the murderer is really Du Chengye, whether it was last month or that year, it is impossible for Du Chengye to do it himself, right?"

Shen Qingling turned her head and booed him, then pouted at Du Chengye, signaling him to listen quietly.

Compared with the Du Chengyu outside the government office, the Du Chengye who was kneeling in the hall really looked like a child raised by a wealthy family, with red lips and white teeth, and an extraordinary bearing.

Facing Ren Bingyi's question, Du Chengye replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Although I don't know why Ren Zhizhou asked such a question, but Du was in Xuzhou to handle family affairs last month, and he didn't return to Yangzhou until the end of the month."

Ren Bingyi asked again: "What general affairs does the Du family have in Xuzhou?"

Du Chengye didn't expect Ren Bingyi to ask such detailed questions, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then replied: "Although the Du family has a great fortune, they are descendants, and they must not sit on the mountain, so Du wants to go to Xuzhou. Find a way out for the future development of the family."
