Chapter 363 Guilty of being a thief

The door of the Censor of the Censorate, Shen Tonghuai, was shot, and the news spread all the way to the inner house. Shen Tonghuai's wife, Mrs. Chen, immediately got up and put on her clothes, and immediately called someone to ask questions.

Cao Huai saluted Mrs. Chen and said, "There is an accident in Prince Huai's mansion. The Ministry of Justice arrested Princess Huai's younger brother."

Mrs. Chen was beating her heart and her heart was pounding and she barely calmed down. The master was not at home, and the whole mansion had to rely on her. She couldn't get any news and became panicked: "Is it because of the case of smuggling?"

Cao Huai nodded.

Mrs. Chen had actually expected it, and now she got the exact answer, and her face changed.

This afternoon, Ding Da came to report that they followed Mr. Fang Er to do business and everything was handled properly. He also asked her to send a letter to the master so that the master would not worry.

Mrs. Chen took a long breath and said seriously: "Will it involve our family?"

The master and his confidants did not tell her many things about her. She only knew that the master wanted to protect the third prince. At first, she was worried about how the Shen family could deal with the imperial concubine party. This time the Eastern Palace was deposed and the third prince was named King Huai. She breathed a sigh of relief. Before the joy could pass, another mistake was made.

Cao Huai said: "Ding Da and Ding were also arrested."

Mrs. Chen's face looked even more ugly: "Then, wouldn't our family be implicated?" She had known that she wouldn't let Ding and Ding follow the Fang family to do things, but the Fang family came to Beijing, and there was not enough staff. Ding and Ding had helped the Fang family pass on messages in the past. She couldn't make excuses at such a time to keep them away from the Fang family.

Cao Huaisi thought for a moment and said, "Even if Ding Da and Ding are interrogated, they will not say anything that is unfavorable to the Shen family. I will restrain my family during this period and wait until the master comes back before making a decision."

Mrs. Chen nodded, and she could only do this. She believed that Ding Da and others had consciences. They had received favors from the Shen family since they were young. Without the Shen family, they might have starved to death and died of illness.

The Shen family gave them food and asked them to study in the Shen family school. When they wanted to protect the Shen family, they should not be confused.

Mrs. Chen looked at Cao Huai: "Go and do it quickly."

Cao Huai bowed and retreated. Mrs. Chen no longer felt sleepy and ordered the manager to do it: "Go and ask how long will it take for the master to return to the capital?" Everything will be fine when the master comes back.

Cao Huai came out of the Shen family? He walked quickly to the north of the city? He didn't see that in the snowy night? Several figures slowly followed him.

Cao Huai was very alert to take a while and then look around.

Cao Huai's eyes flashed over? Gu Mingzhu immediately held her breath and concentrated without making any noise?        When Cao Huai walked forward, Gu Mingzhu was about to follow again?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

"This man has good skills in light body," said Wei Yuanchen. "The snow on the ground is prone to making noises."

Gu Mingzhu was about to say, would she be careful? She felt her waist tightening? She was lifted up and the scenery in front of her quickly swept back.

She was taken away by Lord Wei, which felt more or less strange, and Gu Mingzhu struggled for a moment.

"Don't move," Wei Yuanchen whispered. "Look at his kung fu skill carefully? Before Tan Zigeng entered Daxing Zhuangzi, the murderer had just killed someone shortly after? The dead soldier who was rescued had tung oil on his sleeve? He was the one who set fire, but I have seen all the corpses left on the farm? The murderer who killed them was good at using swords? He was about the same height as Tan Zigeng? Only two footprints were left in the yard, and the footprints were very light. It can be seen that his light body skills were good, and this characteristic was inconsistent with the two dead soldiers.

So I guess that after the murderer killed someone, two dead soldiers were left to deal with the follow-up matters.”

Gu Mingzhu said: "The person who framed Tan Zigeng for killing people and mixed with Tamba in the Gu family's goods was obviously accomplices, so the adults would ask people to follow the handyman on the boat. The handyman Ding Da came to the Shen family. Now Ding Da has been arrested, and this person is coming to deliver a letter to the Shen family. The adults suspected that the murderer who killed people in Daxing Village was in the Shen family, or the person in front of him."

Of course, she had this idea for a long time, so she followed Lord Wei to watch the fun. Gu Mingzhu turned her eyes on Cao Huai.

Wei Yuanchen reached out to shake off the snow on the girl's cloak, and hugged the girl and continued to walk forward. In the snowy night, the sound of snowflakes falling on her clothes seemed to be heard clearly. She frowned slightly under the moonlight, and the eyebrows and eyes were so similar to Zhou Rujun back then.

Thinking of the words she asked before how to tell the truth, he replied that she had seen people's hearts for a long time. How could she not understand?

But after the incident in prison, she hid herself. She had faced thousands of faces in front of her and immediately showed her true nature, which was too demanding on her.

He didn't protect her before, but now he's just put in some patience... Besides, she's so close to him, and one day she'll be really happy with him. Thinking of this, Wei Yuanchen tightened his arms a little bit.

"grown ups."

The girl's sudden speech shocked Wei Yuanchen. Fortunately, Lord Wei had been practicing the spirit for many years, so he would not show any strangeness. Wei Yuanchen immediately dispelled the guilty mood and replaced it with a majestic and solemn expression.

"Um."

"Sir, do the Shen family know that the Shen family has such skills?"

She thought about the case very carefully, and apart from that, she didn't think about anything else just now?

Wei Yuanchen said: "The Shen family helped the children of poor families. Teaching them that reading and practicing calligraphy is impure. They think that they can control these people forever with kindness, but this may not be the case."

Gu Mingzhu raised her head: "Lin Sizhen's people are using the power of the prince to strengthen themselves. Those people are like some kind of vines, dependent on others and entwined in survival, just like Mr. Shen, who stayed quietly by the prince's side, and could not only use the prince but also blame the prince at critical moments. This is their means."

Therefore, Lord Wei gave the case of Prince Huai’s Mansion to Qiao Zheng of the Ministry of Justice.

Cao Huai walked around twice and finally entered a yard.

The lights in the yard were on, and then a few figures flashed out of the yard to keep the whole yard tightly guarded.

Gu Mingzhu looked into the yard, who lived here?

After a cup of tea, Cao Huai walked out of the yard and the yard became quiet again. After a while, Zhang Tong came to Wei Yuanchen and reported: "The accent of the people in the yard is from the north."

The Lu family transported the Tamba roe to the vicinity of the capital, and someone would come to take over. They had never found the person who took over the goods. Maybe there was a clue tonight.

"Sir," Gu Mingzhu said, "Let Liu Su come to inquire about the news tomorrow."
