Chapter 63
Qi Yue's thoughts drifted away following the words of the two aunts. Zhao Zhao pulled her quickly away from the bulletin board and asked her in a low voice, "Qi Yue, tell me honestly, did you do something wrong? Murder or arson? "

"Don't guess what I can do." Qi Yue was in a bad mood, and shook off Zhao Zhao to hold her hand.

Zhao Zhao didn't believe it, "No? You look at the portraits all over the street, you don't even bring them like this when you look for a wanted criminal, right? What is your identity, Qi Yue, then...that lunatic dare not kill you, and there are people looking for you everywhere outside. What kind of person are you?"

"I said I didn't do anything, I'm just an ordinary person, don't think about it." Qi Yue said impatiently.

"Okay, I have something to hide from me, don't treat me like a brother," Zhao Zhao began to sigh with grief all over his face.

Qi Yue couldn't stand him anymore, "Oh, I'll tell you later when I have a chance, now is not the time."

"Okay, you're right, you can't hide anything from brother," Zhao Zhao let her go with satisfaction.

The three of them found an inn to stay and planned to have a good night's rest before setting off early tomorrow morning.After finally getting to bed, Qi Yue fell asleep almost as soon as he went to bed after eating.

This year's summer came early, but it's only May, and it's already hot.

Everything in the imperial city was business as usual. Shen Jinyu and Song Yao had been secretly investigating people in the court who might be Dongta. They followed the clues of Concubine Wang Shu's entry into the palace at that time, and found out the person who gave her a fake household registration and the family members she said.But when Shen Jinyu and the others arrived, all those people were silenced, and the clues were cut off again.

For a while, they were like headless chickens not knowing where to start.

The enemy is in the dark, they are in the light.

The grievances between Dongta and Dajin lasted for decades. The year before Lu Tao succeeded to the throne, the two sides temporarily sued for peace and a truce. Earlier, they could launch a war at any time and break into the Shuobei territory to burn, kill, loot, and stockpile supplies for the winter.

So in the past few years, Lu Tao has been anxious to expand his armaments.

In the past few days, the disciples of Changlin who were arranged by Shen Jinyu to do coolies in the Potian Army began to complain. They complained that the work they did was hard, tiring, unable to make meritorious service, and had no future.

These complaints reached Shen Jinyu's ears. Shen Jinyu didn't want to deal with it at first, but some people who were not afraid of trouble started to strike and quit.

Shen Jinyu had no choice but to find time to deal with those people. He ordered all those troublemakers to be caught in the duty room and kneel down, while he sat on a chair and looked down at those people who had bullied him before, and said casually: "I heard that you are very dissatisfied with the work my lord has arranged for you."

"Master Shen, we are also the first batch of people to join the Heavenly Army. Even if we have to do coolies, we have been working for a year. The newcomers are all getting good jobs. Why do we have to do those hard work all the time?" It's a tiring job with no future." The man kneeling at the front straightened his body.

Shen Jinyu: "Future? What is the future in your eyes? Is it the future to climb up and be in a high position? Then take a look, what about yourself is worthy of the future you want?"

"How can I not be worthy? If Mr. Shen hadn't placed me in these useless positions, wouldn't I be able to get ahead now? We have worked as coolies for a year, and it is our turn to change jobs. right?"

"Useless position? Which position of the Potian Army is useless, even sweeping horse manure inside has its own use, and it is related to the entire operation of the Potian Army. You don't even realize this, and you still want to go up Climb?" Shen Jinyu glanced coldly at the people kneeling below, sneered,

"You think the work you do is useless, so it's useful for you to play cards and gamble in the Potian Army? Or is it useful to steal, rape, play tricks and bully the newcomers? Or give up the work and talk about it in there. Which one will you go to after work? Is it useful to play with women in a brothel?"

As soon as these words came out, all the kneeling people felt guilty, and the man who had been speaking uprightly did not dare to raise his head at this moment.

"You think I don't know what you're doing?"

"Then, isn't that why we are so aggrieved in this position? Otherwise, it would be boring to guard those cold knives and guns all day long."

"Hmph," Shen Jinyu sneered, "boring? Aggrieved? If you feel inferior, you can go out and find another job. There are a lot of people who want to come in and do your boring jobs. In the end , or are you useless yourself, unable to understand even some physical work, and still thinking about your future?"

"Then Mr. Shen, after all, isn't it just a public revenge? You bear the grudge that we bullied you in Changlin, and now you have revenge." Someone who is not afraid of death said.

Shen Jinyu also generously admitted, "I just hold grudges, so what can you do? Don't forget, who is the master and who is the dog now? I want to take revenge on you and I will take revenge. What can you do?"

"Master Shen is like this, but he is really not worthy of such a high position." The man poked his neck and blushed and said, "Master Shen will retaliate recklessly now that he has gained power. There have long been rumors that senior brother Fang Ruzhen was also killed by Master Shen." Yes, now it seems that it should be true!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jinyu's face changed instantly, and a gloomy murderous look emerged from him. He raised his eyes, and his eyes were full of sternness, "Who said that?!"

The man was frightened by Shen Jinyu's appearance, and stammered: "If you want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself, if Mr. Shen has no ghosts in his heart, why are you so excited!"

Lin Qingqiu's expression on the side was also very ugly. They did this in secret. How did this rumor come out?
"I ask you who sent it?" Shen Jinyu repeated impatiently.

The man didn't say anything, he just said: "Master Shen will take revenge for being so jealous..."

Shen Jinyu interrupted him sharply, "Don't tell me, right? You will be punished, right? Lin Qingqiu, put them in jail."

"Yes!" Lin Qingqiu took the order, quickly brought people in and escorted them away, Lin Qingqiu asked: "My lord, how should we deal with these people?"

"Kill it," Shen Jinyu said these two words lightly, "I don't want to keep these people in Changlin for a long time. Now that I know what I shouldn't know, let's hurry up. Also, Fang Ruzhen How did you handle the matter? Why do these rumors come out?"

Lin Qingqiu was also puzzled, "Fang Ruzhen's body was secretly sent back by someone from his subordinates, and he left it at the door of his house in the middle of the night before leaving. No one saw him, not even his parents. No, is there an inner ghost?"

Shen Jinyu: "The ghost inside?"

This is the best possibility right now.Shen Jinyu is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and there are not a few people who are jealous of him. It is a good way to target him by tricking him into losing people's hearts.But is it really that simple?

The only people who can know that Fang Ruzhen has been dealt with by him are his cronies.

"Lin Qingqiu, pay attention to the cronies around me, and see if they have acted strangely lately."
