Chapter 171 Two Steps
"Why can't I understand." Zhu Xun sat in the backyard of Tianxia Department Store, looked at Shen Zhan, and then at Su Wanru, "What is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and what are these people doing?"

Su Wanru explained to him, "These people are old ministers from the previous dynasty. They had contacts with King Ning's uncle. They were either controlled or bewitched. They were like a cult. They all listened to him, worked for him, and worked for a certain a purpose."

"These six people are the last six people we know so far. Lord Hou intends to use them to lure King Ning's uncle..." Su Wanru explained everything to Zhu Xun, "Now that King Ning is back, and These six people were inexplicably poisoned to death in the East Factory, and the timing was just before Lord Hou entered the East Factory."

"What a big game of chess." Zhu Xun smacked his lips, "I feel dizzy just listening to it. Zhao Zhongyuan's uncle? The first uncle or the second uncle. I know his uncle is doing business, and it seems that he is still doing a lot, so he opened a ticket. Number, what is it called..."

Zhu Xun couldn't remember, Su Wanru added: "Tongtian ticket number."

"Yes, Tongtian Ticket Number. But how do you know, most people don't know about this." Zhu Xun said.

Su Wanru gave him a blank look, "Of course I don't know if I don't check it, but if I check it, can I still not know." She knocked on the table and looked at Zhu Xun, "We called you here not to tell you about this, but to tell you about it." Another thing, don't interrupt."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Xun looked puzzled.

Su Wanru and Shen Zhan looked at each other, paused, and said, "Master Hou sent someone to protect your father, and Qiu Rong is not far from him. I thought it was all right, but now the charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason come out. Now, I doubt it will involve Nurhachi, your father is now fighting with Nurhachi."

"You mean..." Zhu Xun jumped up, his face changed drastically, "They will get involved with my father?"

Shen Zhan nodded, and said: "It's better to be on guard, you will take someone to Dad's side tomorrow."

"Oh, oh." Zhu Xun nodded, "I...I'll go home now and tell my mother that tomorrow I'll pick a few people and take them out of town."

As he said that, he immediately walked out, walked a few steps and then looked back at Shen Zhan, "Brother, you... are you okay?"

"I can't die." Shen Zhan said: "I will go to court early tomorrow morning. Just protect your father."

Zhu Xun nodded yes, and strode out the door.

Before dawn the next day, Zhu Xun took his people away.

The morning court was normal, all the officials lined up to enter the Golden Luan Hall, Zhao Zhiang took his seat on the dragon chair, and discussed government affairs as usual after the pilgrimage. Recently, during the rainy season, it has been raining in many places in the south of the Yangtze River. The water levels of the Yellow River and Huaihe River have risen. This is what I was going to talk about a few days ago However, because Zhao Biao was poisoned, it was delayed for two days.

After discussing and quarreling, the flood still had no result, so Zhao Zhiang sent a master Lin who is good at water conservancy to investigate the water situation, and then reported to the court.

When the matter came to an end, Xu Liren took a step forward, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, when I came to the court this morning, I met Lord Wang's family. She gave these things to the old minister. Please take a look at them."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Zhan who was opposite him.

Eunuch Du came down to take the package, and went up to hand it to Zhao Zhiang. Zhao Zhiang looked at it expressionlessly, and put it in his hand, without saying a word, let alone expressing his opinion.

Xu Liren said again: "The old minister heard early this morning that the six adults arrested by Dongchang all died in the cell yesterday afternoon." He paused for a while, his eyes glanced at the apse, "I don't know if the company is here at this time. "

Zhao Zhiang said: "Let Si Sanbao and Wang Dahai come in." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Zhan from the corner of his eye.

Si Sanbao and Wang Dahai came in one after another.

"Mr. Si." Xu Liren said: "What crimes did the six adults commit, what crimes did you use to arrest Dongchang, and how did you die? Please, in front of the Holy Majesty and all the officials today, Explain it to us."

Shen Zhan explained that someone must ask about this matter, and he just needs to tell the truth. Now that Shen Zhan is here, after all Si Sanbao took a look at Shen Zhan, he bluntly explained the matter in detail, " ... Wu Zuo has inspected the corpse and confirmed that the poison came from the mouth."

"Ming Gonggong is the father-in-law of the factory?" Xu Liren asked.

Si Sanbao nodded, "He has committed suicide in fear of crime, and the poison is the same as that of the six adults. It has also been checked and confirmed."

"What about the motive?" Xu Liren turned his head and looked at Master Qin, "Master Qin, since the murderer has been found and the poison confirmed, the most important thing now is to confirm the motive of the murder? Do you want to specify the motive for the murder?"

Lord Qin nodded slightly, "If everything is clear, it's okay if there is none. But most of the time, it needs to be written and ascertained."

Xu Liren nodded, then turned to look at Si Sanbao, "Then why did this Eunuch Ming kill someone?"

Si Sanbao investigated this matter, but found nothing. Now when Xu Liren asked, he replied: "This matter is still under investigation, and the results will come out in a few days."

"No need." Xu Liren pointed to a bag of things in Zhao Zhi'ang's hand, looked at Si Sanbao and said, "This morning, someone gave me this bag of things, and there is a piece of evidence in it, telling us the motive of Ming Gonggong's murder." .”

There were so many people in the Golden Luan Hall, and there was no sound for a moment. Mr. Qin asked, "I gave it to you together? What is the motive?"

"Man dies for money, and bird dies for food." Xu Liren replied, "The evidence those people gave me shows that he did it for money."

After Xu Liren finished speaking, he said to Zhao Zhiang, "May the Holy Majesty give the things back to the old minister?"

Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly.

Eunuch Du brought the things to Xu Liren, and he took out a piece of kraft paper in front of everyone. On the paper were the words in bright red. Xu Liren unfolded it and read it out in front of everyone, "Ten thousand taels of silver is not good , if I die unexpectedly from now on, I will make this public to the public, seek justice for the six adults for me, and let the world see clearly..." He said, his eyes fell on Shen Zhan's face, and he emphasized, "Let the world see clearly , the true face of Chen Zhan, Marquis of Zhennan."

The audience was silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Shen Zhan, some were surprised, some were uneasy, some were thoughtful, some were in disbelief.

On the contrary, Shen Zhan remained calm and composed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Where... do you start with this?" Duan Duan from the Privy Council said, "Where did you get this evidence, and how credible is it? What reason does the Marquis of Zhennan have to kill these six adults?"

Xu Liren nodded slightly, and said: "I'll just read out what I got, and everyone will make judgments, it's not malicious." After saying that, he cupped his hands at Shen Zhan, and then said: "Whether these so-called evidences are true or not is up to you." It can be verified. I don’t want to bother the two masters, this matter should be left to Mr. Liu.”

As Xu Liren said, he turned around and asked Zhao Zhiang what he meant, "Your Majesty, from the current point of view, this matter is really inextricably related to the Yanping case. It is feasible for Master Liu to continue to investigate."

"Sure." Zhao Zhiang said, and ordered someone to send the so-called blood letter of Eunuch Ming to the Criminal Prosecution Division to Mr. Liu.

Xu Liren then said: "There is still something inside, please continue to read." He said, and took out another letter, "I just glanced at it in the sedan chair, the content is not shocking, now I also Read it to everyone."

Everyone looked at Xu Liren in silence, no one stopped him, it was not because he didn't dare or didn't want to, but Zhao Zhiang was still sitting on top.If Zhao Zhiang felt it was inappropriate, he thought he would stop it.

Xu Liren read it one by one in front of everyone, and the content was the same as the memorial submitted by King Ning yesterday, only saying that there was no evidence.

"No more?" Master Duan frowned, and Zhao Zhiting, who had been standing on the side listening to others, nodded and said: "These can be facts, or they can be made up. If there is no evidence, Master Xu should not read it, so as not to read it." Disturbing the audiovisual, making people feel that Zhennan Hou is really collaborating with the enemy and treason, and a misunderstanding occurred."

"Your Highness said so." Xu Liren said: "That woman gave it to me. It's really hard to judge whether it's true or not. If you want to prove it, you can invite that woman to come over and you'll know after the first trial."

Master Cui nodded, "It is for interrogation. The death of the six adults is indeed strange, but we cannot slander the Marquis of Zhennan for collaborating with the enemy and treason based on these few letters. I don't know what this woman's intentions are, so she must be interrogated carefully." Just do it."

Xu Liren acted as if he had nothing to do with him, nodded his head and said: "Master Liu is very fast, and there must be a result soon. This matter happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard." Xu Liren said, turning to look at Si Sanbao, "But These six adults are officials of the court, although they have no world-wide achievements, they have no fatal mistakes, please ask the company, what is the purpose of arresting people in the first place."

"This matter is handled by the East Factory, and it is inconvenient to disclose the specific reason to outsiders." Si Sanbao's face darkened from the moment he saw Father Ming's blood letter. This matter is just like what Shen Zhan said, it is a huge situation, and we are just waiting. Shen Zhan jumped inside.

Now that Shen Zhan jumped in, there were still people who wanted to push him in along the way.

"But they are officials ordered by the imperial court." Xu Liren said: "There is no charge, so you can be arrested if you want, and you can be locked up if you want. What's more, six of them died in the yamen. If you don't do this It's hard to convince the public with an explanation, company."

Si Sanbao is not afraid, Zhao Zhiang agreed to this matter, and there is no need to explain the Dongchang matter to these people.

"Master Xu, the yamen also has its own rules, let's talk about it after Master Liu's inquiry." Daming Zi is his man, he didn't find this bloody book, but it was in the hands of the complaining Wang Liu.

Then it was sent to Xu Liren. There was no ghost in it, so he cut off the head and used it as a stool.

Xu Liren wanted to say more, but news came from outside, "Lord Liu is asking to see you outside the hall."

Eunuch Du sang: "Xuan!"

Mr. Liu strode in with his official robe in his hand, bowed on his knees, took out the blood book and several other letters, and replied: "After checking by my minister, this blood book and the letters in my hand are indeed from Ming Gonggong. hands."

"Is that true?" Someone sighed and looked at Shen Zhan secretly, while another said: "Don't talk nonsense, you were talking about your motive just now, what reason does Zhennanhou have to do these things, and why did he kill six people?" grown ups."

"Get up." Zhao Zhi'ang nodded, and said calmly, "That's the end of the matter. Although there are various evidences, it still doesn't mean that Marquis Zhennan harmed them."

Xu Liren nodded, clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case at present. But the six people have one thing in common, which is why the old minister just said that this case is inextricably linked to the Yanping refugee case."

Everyone was puzzled and looked at him.

"It's because these six lords, as well as the original Lord Liao, Lord Zhu, and Lord Zhou, the prefect of Yanping, are all former ministers of the previous dynasty!" Xu Liren said loudly.

The crowd was in an uproar, and someone said: "The old ministers of the former court? There are quite a few people like this in the court."

"No, these six are the only officials in the court at the moment, and there are three others who have not been checked yet." Xu Liren said, and suddenly looked at Shen Zhan, "Do you have anything to explain, Marquis of Zhennan? "

Everyone looked at Shen Zhan.

"I am innocent, but it is a pity that they have evidence against me, and I have no evidence to prove my innocence." Shen Zhan clasped his fists and said flatly: "Master Xu is bothering you."

You're welcome, let everyone's scalp tingle.

"This matter will be investigated after filing a case." Zhao Zhiang said: "Who is behind the scenes, we will make a decision after the investigation."

Everyone should be, Zhao Zhiang then ordered Mr. Liu, "Wang Liu and other six family members will be interrogated first, and carefully interrogated."

Master Liu should be.

"Let's go back to court." Zhao Zhiang said halfway, when suddenly the guards from the Habayashi outside ran up, and shouted at the inner hall very unrulyly: "Gansu military report."

Zhao Zhiang sat back again, the hall was silent, he said: "Say!"

The military situation is a major event, and everyone immediately quieted down.

A member of the Habayashi Guard came in with a messenger, and the two knelt down in the main hall, saying: "My lord, this military report was played by Cao Enqing from Gansu."

"Cao Enqing?" Zhao Zhiang remembered this person and said that he was going to sacrifice the flag, and he was furious, "How is he still alive?!"

No one dares to speak.

Xiao Bing replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao is still alive, but he is not in good health. This military report is indeed his report."

Zhao Zhiang was impatient, Xu Liren said: "Your Majesty, since it's about military affairs, let's listen first before talking about it."

"Say." Zhao Zhiang nodded.

Xiaobing opened the bamboo tube in his hand, poured out a pile of letters, folded them up and handed them up, Xu Liren came over and continued, "So many, what are they?"

"It's the evidence that Cao Enqing sued Zhennanhou and Changxinghou for treason with the enemy." Xiao Bing said, "There are letters between Changxinghou and Zhennanhou in Nurhachi, as well as the testimonies of herdsmen captured outside the pass. Most importantly, There is also evidence of mutual trading in their dark market."

"What?" Xu Liren asked in surprise, "What do you mean by dark market, exchange trading?"

Xiao Bing replied: "Cao Enqing said that he had discovered earlier that there was a difference in guarding the border. Every half a month, a group of people would go out in the middle of the night, and three days later they would return to the customs at night. It was like this every month. He was always suspicious. It's a pity that before he could find out, he was framed and put in jail because he was greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Until recently, because Marquis Changxing went to Gansu to guard the border, and the exchanges between the two sides became more and more frequent, Cao Enqing sent two of his friends to search for clues and evidence on his behalf." Xiaobing pointed to the things that fell from the bamboo tube, "All The personal evidence and letters are all inside, Cao Enqing asked the Holy One to send someone to investigate, if he is even half a fake, he is willing to be quartered by five horses, and he will be sentenced to death by a thousand knives."

Xu Liren handed the things to Eunuch Du, and Eunuch Du took it to Zhao Zhiang. After Zhao Zhiang saw it, he asked Eunuch Du to send it down for everyone to circulate.

The letter was in Nurhachi's handwriting. At least from this point of view, it was indeed very similar. There was only one letter, which was not too long, but it was enough for them to see Shen Zhan's name, and the money and food for the horses.

The most important thing is the accounting evidence of the dark market transactions, and even which vendors participated, and how Changxing Hou and Qiu Rong operated, all written clearly.

This kind of thing can't be made up.

"This is really..." Everyone sighed and looked at Zhao Zhiang, the hall was completely silent.

Everything before and after was connected, because the six adults knew that Shen Zhan was secretly colluding with Nurhachi, secretly trading horses, money, grain, salt and cloth, etc., so they were framed by Shen Zhan.

But after the six people were imprisoned in the East Factory, when they proposed to sue Shen Zhan, Shen Zhan paid for Mr. Ming to kill the six of them, and then he silenced Mr. Ming.

Unexpectedly, these six people had already prepared evidence, and it happened that Cao Enqing sent the evidence, so the truth of this matter was revealed.

The nature of this matter is really bad, and it is difficult for the people to be angry if they are not punished.

"It's no wonder that the brave Marquis of Changxing has been gone for half a year, but only one piece of good news came, and only a dozen people were beheaded. This is quite inconsistent with the Marquis of Changxing's usual style." You Yushi said.

"Company." Xu Liren looked at Si Sanbao, "At this moment, are you going to continue to insist that the affairs of the East Factory not be announced to the public?"

Si Sanbao also had no idea, he glanced at Shen Zhan, who was expressionless, he couldn't help but move, and replied: "Yes!"

Things have come to this point, what should be persisted is still to persist.

"Your Majesty." Xu Liren said: "The matter is of great importance, please ask the Holy Majesty to make a clear investigation."

Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly, looked at Si Sanbao, "Is there any evidence for keeping people greedy for ink?"

This is traced back to the source.

Si Sanbao immediately understood Zhao Zhiang's meaning, knelt down and replied: "Returning to the Holy Majesty, there is evidence!" After speaking, he asked someone to pick it up.

"Mr. Si." Xu Liren asked: "In front of the Holy Majesty, the old man only asked you one question. Why did you suddenly think of going to investigate these six people? They are not in the same yamen and have no contact with each other. Why do you suddenly have six people?" Let's check together."

Si Sanbao thought of Su Wanru, paused, and said, "It was someone who reminded him that he was arrested only after the miscellaneous family checked and found solid evidence."

"Who will inform?" Xu Liren asked.

Si Sanbao didn't speak.

"Speak." Zhao Zhiang said.

Si Sanbao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's... Aunt Su."

"Aunt Su?" Everyone was in an uproar, and someone suddenly said: "Aunt Su and Marquis Zhennan have close contacts. Everyone in Beijing knows that Marquis Zhennan has a deep affection for Aunt Su. The two of them..."

"So, Aunt Su was also instructed by Zhennan Hou?" someone continued.

Master Cui and Master Ge looked at each other, and Master Ge said: "What does Aunt Su mean, and how did you know it, please ask her to find out. Why do you make assumptions here?"

"Master Ge, you are very close to Aunt Su. It's not surprising that you speak for her because of your friendship, but there are serious and serious things. How can this matter be mixed with personal affection?"

"That's right. Nurhachi's growth over the years has become a threat to the Great Zhou. Everyone has seen it. The Holy Majesty also has trouble sleeping and eating because of this. If Nurhachi is not destroyed, the Great Zhou will be difficult to stabilize." After a pause, he continued: "But right now, Zhennan But Hou and this person secretly communicate, this is to help the evildoer, for his own self-interest, to put the country in trouble, and the people are in trouble."

When this person spoke, Xu Liren said: "Although they are all evidence, they have not been verified and are not enough to convict. Therefore, the old minister asks the Holy One to send someone to investigate immediately. If he is wronged, then he can eradicate the cancer and clear Zhennanhou's innocence. In this matter, the Marquis of Zhennan's outstanding military service has been attributed to the Marquis, knowingly breaking the law, he should be punished with a serious crime."

"Yes." Zhao Zhiang glanced at Shen Zhan, "I will imprison the Marquis of Zhennan and go to the clan mansion first, and confiscate all military power. After the matter is found out, I will make a decision. Marquis of Zhennan, do you have anything to say?"

Shen Zhan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I have no objection."

With so much evidence, what can he say, the noise is useless.

As he said, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Zhiang, and this incident showed Zhao Zhiang's thoughts... He was a radical change from a few years ago. Zhao Zhiang in the past was a hero, he acted resolutely, acted resolutely, and was never suspicious.

Even he is convinced by Zhao Zhiang, such a person is born to be a hero.

But now, Shen Zhan lowered his eyes, if it wasn't for Su Wanru who had other thoughts in his heart, and didn't care about Zhao Zhiang's trust or not, he would definitely be sad and desperate.

Lord Cui and Lord Ge looked at each other, both of them were surprised. Is the Holy Majesty going to take this opportunity to hide Asuka's bow?

But three or four years, it has already been like this, it is really chilling.

"According to my decree, King Ning is required to go to Gansu to investigate the matter. Marquis Changxing handed over his military power on the spot, and listened to King Hou Ning's order to investigate." Zhao Zhiang said, and got up with a flick of his sleeves, "Retire!"

He strode away with Eunuch Du.

Wang Dahai came forward and cupped hands with Shen Zhan, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back home to pack your clothes?"

"No need," Shen Zhan nodded slightly, turned around and left the hall.

Today is a cloudy day, although the sky is bright, but the sun is covered by clouds, and there is a damp heat that is about to rain in the dark.

Shen Zhan went out without looking back.

There was an uproar in the Golden Luan Hall, Master Qin frowned and looked at Xu Liren, and said: "Master Xu has a strange attitude today, why did you bring the evidence to the Jinluan Hall instead of submitting it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for verification? These evidences have not been verified, how can you speak righteously Read it out."

"Go and investigate if you have any doubts. This is for the good of Zhennan Hou." Xu Li said: "If you are guilty and interrogated, you should be convicted. If you are not guilty, you will be fine."

Although some people nodded, most of them were helpless, shook their heads and walked out of the palace gate slowly.

In the apse, Zhao Zhiting hurriedly went to the imperial study room, closed the door and asked, "Your Majesty, you...do you really want someone to check Zhennanhou?"

"What if I don't check?" Zhao Zhiang looked at his grandson and asked, "With so many eyes watching, do I want to cover Zhennanhou?"

Zhao Zhiting was right when he thought about it.

"Although Shen Zhan is capable, he is also very crazy. I just took this opportunity to suppress him. If he is fine, I will cut him down for your father to use in the future. If there is a problem, then clean it up. lest it cause harm."

"The sage is wise." Zhao Zhiting cupped his hands and said, "Then...that Aunt Su, don't you care?"

Zhao Zhiang glanced at his grandson, frowned and said, "She is a woman, in a word, are you going to kill her?"

Zhao Zhiting murmured speechlessly.

"Go and talk to King Ning in detail, and it's just for him to practice. It will take two months to go back and forth. You tell him to pay attention to safety and act carefully." Zhao Zhiang said: "If this matter is serious, he will definitely be in danger if he goes."

Zhao Zhiting should be.

Zhu Xun set off with twelve guards before dawn. When they arrived in Tongzhou, they sat down in a tea house outside the city and fed the horses fodder. A dozen people sat around the table drinking tea and eating dry food. It took less than half an hour. The servants of the mansion catch up.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Xun looked at the person who came, "Is there something wrong at home, or something wrong with my starling?"

The servant replied: "It's Lord Hou. In the early court, the Holy Majesty imprisoned him in the clan mansion, confiscated all military power, and ordered Prince Ning to set off immediately to Gansu to investigate the collusion with the enemy and treason. Also, King Ning also brought I have obeyed the sage's orders to let our Marquis step down and be questioned."

"Dog!" Zhu Xun smashed the steamed buns in his hand to the ground, and spat, "Don't let me know who is behind the scenes, or I will destroy his whole family."

The servant replied: "Madam, please don't panic, go to Gansu day and night, tell Hou Ye about this, let Hou Ye make preparations first."

Faster and faster, they can reach Gansu in four days, but the horses can't bear it.

"This is from Madam." The servant gave him the name card of the Marquis of Changxing, "Madam said, don't think about anything, just go."

Zhu Xun nodded, took more than a dozen name cards and put them in his arms, whistled, and said, "Brothers, let's go!"

A group of people got on their horses, leaving behind a cloud of dust and smoke. At night, they exchanged horses at the post station with name cards. When they arrived in Taiyuan early the next morning, everyone fed the horses and rested on the ground, but Zhu Xun couldn't sleep at all, only feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

Angrily, he chopped down two small trees with his sword, and cursed: "You dirty people, I will castrate you all and send you to Dongchang."

"Master." His regular follower said: "You can rest for a while, you have to continue on your way."

Zhu Xun nodded, and lay down on the grass by the roadside. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a fast horse galloping. Zhu Xun said, "It couldn't be Zhao Zhongyuan, could it?" He sat up, but saw that the horse was Coming from the opposite direction, there was a person who was stumbling around, as if he was about to fall at any moment.

"Who is it?" Zhu Xun stood up and stared at the other party. The horse is a war horse, and ordinary people can't use it. He stood on the side of the road and watched the person on the other side getting closer, and suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted, "Zhu Chang?"

Zhu Chang's original surname was not Zhu. Many years ago, he was taken in by the Marquis of Changxing as a resident, and then changed his surname to Zhu. The Marquis of Changxing named him Zhu Chang after Zhu Xun.

"My lord." Zhu Chang was in his early twenties, with a strong body and good skills. At this moment, it was like the end of a crossbow. Hearing Zhu Xun's shout, he tried his best to rein in the horse, but he couldn't sit still. fell down.

Zhu Xun jumped over and narrowly caught him, and asked, "Why are you here, and what are you doing back here?"

"Master!" Zhu Chang grabbed Zhu Xun's arm, "It's not good!"

At dawn, Xianzhen Girls' School was opening as usual. The girls got out of the car and entered the door chattering and laughing. Things in Beijing affected them, but they always felt far away from them. Most of the time, they were not as good as today's new The dress she was wearing was even more attractive with a newly made hairpin.

The smile is infected on the face, adding a lot of vitality and color to the morning.

Suddenly, someone shouted, with a clear and pleasant voice, "Sir!"

Everyone stopped at the door, Miss Fang asked: "Is the prince here? Is he going to Gansu today? I heard from my father that he is going to investigate the case of Lord Hou."

"It's the lord, the lord, sir!" The girls waved their hands, looked at the passing carriage, and then the car stopped, and King Ning got out of the car, smiling warmly as before, "I'm leaving for two months. Is it tomorrow? I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up.”

"You're doing business. Hurry up and find out and clear up Lord Zhennan's innocence. When you come back, we can find a chance to gather here again." Cui Yudie said.

King Ning nodded slightly, and said: "Then you study hard, even if you go home after graduation, you can't waste your studies, and you can't be lazy in reading and writing every day."

"Understood." Miss Shi smiled and said, "Sure enough, Mr. is still the same as before, nagging when he sees us."

Everyone laughed, girls' laughter is always nice, Su Wanru got out of another car and shouted, "What are you laughing at?"

"Aunt." Cui Yudie said: "We are saying goodbye to the prince."

Su Wanru hummed, turned her head and saw King Ning who was standing beside the carriage, she raised her eyebrows and stood still and smiled at him, King Ning also nodded at her, saying: "I want to go out , I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

"It's important." Su Wanru came over on her own initiative, stood on the steps and looked at King Ning, level with him, "Are you alone, why didn't you take Zha Rongsheng with you?"

King Ning smiled and replied: "He is not in good health, I have to hurry, he may not be able to bear it."

"You're not in good health either." Su Wanru looked at him, "You seem to have lost some weight, take care of yourself on the road."

King Ning nodded, "You too." He said, pointing to the carriage, "I'm leaving."

"Take care." Su Wanru waved her hand, watching King Ning get into the car, she frowned, followed by two steps, stood beside the car, glanced at the driver, raised her eyebrows and said: "This is a newcomer." Well, it wasn't him who drove the car before."

"Well, he's new to the mansion." King Ning replied, "What's the matter?"

Su Wanru waved her hand, "I just don't trust you, so I tell you a few words. We are good friends, aren't we?"

King Ning nodded and looked at her without speaking.

"Zhong Yuan!" Su Wanru suddenly shouted, "You...have nothing to say to me?"

King Ning looked back at her, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, take care all the way." Su Wanru waved her hand and stepped back. King Ning nodded, and the carriage gradually drifted away.

Su Wanru frowned and looked at the carriage going away, Cui Yudie stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." She entered the main entrance with Cui Yudie, and Cui Yudie followed her into the workshop, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, what should I do with Master Hou? My father said that he wants to send someone secretly. Gansu, although Lord Ning will handle it impartially, I should feel more at ease."

King Ning is just?Su Wanru didn't know what would happen to Zhao Yan, but it was definitely impossible for Xiao Hanqing to disappear in front of others.

"Zhu Shizi has already gone." Su Wanru said, "I am also investigating the matter in Beijing, but it will take time."

Cui Yudie nodded, "Master Hou is inside, are you alright?"

"I haven't been convicted yet, how can something happen." Su Wanru is more concerned about Zhao Biao. He heard that after drinking the medicine given by King Ning, he woke up, but he just woke up. He still kept silent and moved his hands and feet. No, like the living dead.

Of course, it's much better than closing your eyes.

"Go to class, you're about to graduate." Su Wanru pinched her face, and said in a low voice, "Tell Master Cui not to investigate for now, so as not to be involved."

Cui Yudie nodded yes.

The whole morning passed peacefully, she was doing everything she needed to do, and she just had to wait.

Strangely, Xiao Hanqing and Lu Shi disappeared, and no one was found anywhere.

She sat for a while, then got up and went to the rice shop. When Granny Liu saw her, she asked anxiously, "What should I do with Lord Hou? Is there any way? Who is going to frame him?"

"Prince Ning." Su Wanru said: "Grandma, go and invite Hu Shisanniang, I have something to ask her."

Granny Liu nodded, "I'll find a way to deliver a letter to Prince Ning's Mansion."

Hu Shisanniang works in Prince Ning's Mansion.

Seeing Hu Shisanniang, Su Wanru came out of Mihang in the evening, wandered slowly on the street, and walked half a street, when someone called her behind her, she turned around for a moment, and recognized Yang's mother, " What's the matter, but madam needs me?"

"Go and have a look." Mom was a little flustered, her face was not good-looking, Su Wanru nodded and took the carriage to the Marquis of Changxing.

Pushing open the side door, the house was eerily quiet, Su Wanru saw the horse parked outside the gate, she didn't feel well, so she hurried to the main courtyard, just as the doctor came out, she lifted her skirt and went up the steps into the bedroom , Shouting: "Madam, is Madam sick?"

"A Jin." It was Zhu Yin who answered the conversation, looking at her with bloodshot eyes, Su Wanru's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the bed, Yang Shi was sleeping with her eyes closed, she stammered and asked, "What's wrong Ma'am? What does the doctor say?"

"Not my mother." Zhu Yin replied, "Just now, my brother sent someone back to say that he met Zhu Chang in Taiyuan. According to Zhu Chang, my father died."

What died?Su Wanru was taken aback for a moment, "Who died?"

"My father." Zhu Yin said, and handed her a package of things on the table, "This is my brother who brought it back, and my father asked Zhu Chang to keep it and send it back to the capital. Now Lord Hou and my brother are not here." , I can only discuss it with you."

As she spoke, tears fell down, pattering on the back of her hand.

Su Wanru's head buzzed, Shen Zhan was imprisoned in the clan mansion, she didn't feel anything, they didn't lose, the other party appeared, this is their success.

Moreover, the death of those six people was the breakthrough point. She was investigating what should be investigated, but it would take some time before she would believe it.

Everyone is facing each other with real swords and guns, and whoever lives and who dies depends on the ability.

but……

"Master Hou... is dead?" Su Wanru's eyes turned red, "How could it be, how could it be..."

His goal is Shen Zhan, Zhao Biao, and Zhao Zhiang. There is no reason why he would kill Marquis Changxing.

"Look." Zhu Yin gave her something, Su Wanru took it and trembled, she dropped it on the ground, she squatted on the ground to pick it up, her eyes blurred, wiped and blurred again, it took a lot of effort , she saw the things above clearly, and looked up at Zhu Yin, "Master Hou was killed because of this...?"

Zhu Yin nodded, "It should be!"

Su Wanru supported the stool to stand up, then kicked the stool over again, shaking with anger, "Wait...you wait for me, even if I die, I have to drag you with me!"
