Chapter 64 Confrontation
What happened to Fang Ruzhen made Shen Jinyu start to doubt the people around her. Lin Qingqiu stared at those cronies who handled Fang Ruzhen's matter for several days without getting a clue.Not only that, Fang Ruzhen's parents also made a scene in the imperial city, pointing out that Shen Jinyu killed their son, and asked Shen Jinyu to give an explanation for the murder.

The old couple sat at the gate of Shen's mansion and complained to their son. The front of Shen's mansion was surrounded by onlookers, and there were constant curses like "treacherous officials" and "bad guys".

This incident alarmed the court, Lu Tao sent Song Yao to sneak into Shen's residence to ask him what was going on, and Shen Jinyu told the truth.

Song Yao had a headache and said: "You are cautious about this matter, how did those people get wind of it? Some good things are now rumored that many people in your Potian army who had been here for a long time disappeared overnight, and they all said yes You killed yourself by avenging yourself."

"It's not a rumor, I did it." Shen Jinyu admitted bluntly, Song Yao was taken aback, looked at Shen Jinyu's still-unchanging face in disbelief, and said angrily: "No, Shen Jinyu, you are still an old man now anyway. Now that you are a second-rank senior official, how can you do things so hastily? Just do it, I understand your feelings, but how can you be caught?"

"People in the Potian army, I have already obtained evidence that they played cards, gambled and bullied newcomers when they were in power. The emperor just issued a ban a few years ago. Gambling is strictly enforced in the army, and offenders are punished severely. I have reasons and evidence. They just died because they were too weak to resist the punishment. As for Fang Ruzhen," Shen Jinyu looked up at Song Yao,

"Either there is an inner ghost among my people, but I have been staring at those cronies for a while without any doubt. Then there is only one possibility. Fang Ruzhen came to my mansion at the beginning because he was instructed to come."

Song Yao straightened his face, "You mean, someone is deliberately harming you?"

"I'm not sure, it may be harming me, making me lose my heart and get out of this position, but what's even worse is breaking down the emperor's cronies, leaving the emperor alone and helpless, and you have no serious status but you are free to come and go in the court. There have also been some rumors, so the latter is most likely."

Song Yao's face became tense in vain, Shen Jinyu was right, Lu Tao's dragon heir was gone, and now something happened to Shen Jinyu, whom he trusted, and all these turmoil pointed directly at the foundation of Dajin.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I've also read it these days. Fang Ruzhen's parents are arguing, but they can't produce any substantive evidence. As long as I kill this point, they will be helpless. A little worse." Shen Jinyu took it easy, without panic, "Go back first, and remind the emperor that Da Jin may have entered a foreign race."

Song Yao frowned and nodded, "I see, the emperor will send Qin Huaiming Lord Qin to deal with this matter tomorrow. He is a sensible person. You should soften your attitude and be more humble and respectful. Lord Qin will not embarrass you."

Shen Jinyu nodded and watched Song Yao go out through the secret door. He finished the cold tea in his cup and listened to the noise outside the mansion with an expressionless face.For a long time, a murderous look floated in his eyes,
"If you want to bully me, bully me, do you still think I'm the former Shen Jinyu?!"

Fu Sheng was afraid that something would happen to the old couple making trouble at the door, so he specially sent a servant to guard and not allow anyone to approach.Shen Jinyu has been dealing with trivial matters recently, and Fu Sheng can't do much to help him, so he can only clean up the mess for him.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaiming came to Shen's mansion wearing a purple official uniform and a first-rank chief assistant official hat.

Shen Jinyu changed into a decent blue brocade robe, all her hair was tied on top of her head with a white jade hair crown, her whole person was clean and elegant, and she was not lacking in extravagance. Standing there casually was a beauty that cannot be ignored.

Qin Huaiming got off the sedan chair and stepped into Shen's mansion. Shen Jinyu stood at the door to greet him. When he saw him, he saluted respectfully, "Shen Jinyu, Lieutenant of the Potian Army, join the Chief Assistant!"

"Sir Shen, please go in and talk." Although Qin Huaiming is old, his body is still strong, he is about the same height as Shen Jinyu, and he is full of air when he speaks.

This was the first official meeting between Shen Jinyu and Qin Huaiming. Shen Jinyu didn't dare to neglect, and followed behind him with a respectful and humble appearance.

Entering the main hall, Shen Jinyu and Qin Huaiming took their seats, and Fu Sheng personally came to serve tea, Qin Huaiming took a sip, and said straight to the point: "Master Shen, you must have guessed it, because Mr. Shen was involved in some life disputes, His Majesty specially ordered the old man to come to the trial In this matter, you and I are colleagues, so I won't say much about it, please invite Master Shen to invite those two old men into the mansion."

"Yes!" Shen Jinyu nodded, "Lin Qingqiu, go and invite the two of you in."

Lin Qingqiu took orders, and not long after, Fang Ruzhen's parents wiped their tears and followed Lin Qingqiu in. As soon as they arrived in front of Qin Huaiming, they knelt down on the ground with a plop and began to cry,
"My lord, my lord, you have to be the master of the women. You are the master of Qingtian and a high official of the court. You must give justice to the women and my son who died tragically!"

"That's right, my lord," Fang Ruzhen's father followed, "This Lord Shen bullied others and killed my son, please investigate clearly!"

Qin Huaiming stroked his beard and asked, "Are you two Fang Ruzhen's parents?"

"Yes!"

Qin Huaiming: "You keep crying and claiming that Mr. Shen killed your son, do you have evidence?"

"This..." Fang Ruzhen's parents looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes, and then stammered: "Here, my lord, Zhen'er told us that before he left the house, he said that one of his former fellow disciples is now a high-ranking official in the imperial court. , if he went to ask for an errand, it would be fine. I let him go, but who knows, what came back after this trip was a cold corpse. I learned that the senior official and fellow student that Zhener was talking about was Mr. Shen Master Shen used to have a feud with my son when he was in Changlin Villa, now seeing my son in a state of desperation, he must have killed my son by bullying others to avenge his own personal revenge!"

Qin Huaiming heard this, frowned, and only asked, "So, you have no evidence to prove that Mr. Shen killed your son?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Fang Ruzhen's parents turned pale. Shen Jinyu raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Huaiming, feeling in his heart that Master Shoufu was really different.

Fang Ruzhen's father touched the old tears, and answered in tears, "Evidence, my son's body is the evidence. Besides Mr. Shen, who else has a grudge against my son? I heard that Mr. Shen will come to the villa for a long time because of his personal enmity." The owner of the villa killed him, and now Master Shen is so powerful, he must have killed my son to vent his anger!"

Qin Huaiming's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You must not slander the court officials at will! Since you can't produce any evidence that Mr. Shen killed your child, did you see who sent your child's body home?"
