Zhang Renhuai's murder case, because Anyang Bo would rather die than die, he would get to the bottom of it. With all the witnesses and material evidence, the governor of Jingzhao quickly sentenced him to death. Unfortunately, there was no evidence to prove that Zhang Yiqian committed murder. Although he could not be punished, he could not be punished.
He also has to bear the pain of losing his son.
Zhang Yiqian hated Lin Jingmo so much that he vowed to make the second girl of the Lin family pay the price for sending his white-haired man to his black-haired man!
Within a few days, the emperor really wanted to send someone to the northern border. In addition to the Shang Shixuan of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he also asked Lin Yuanzhi of the Ministry of Personnel and Zhang Yiqian of the Ministry of War to appoint a suitable official. Finally, he decided that Yu Gaizhi, the servant of the Ministry of War, would go to the northern border with him to investigate.
The reason for repeated defeats in the north.
……
In the Ruixiang Tower, Chen Mianzheng was enjoying the singing and dancing calmly.
Shang Shixu, who was leaving for the north tomorrow, opened the door, and Chen Mian was waving his hand to signal the dancer to go out.
When there were only two people left in the room, Chen Mianzheng's face immediately darkened: "Didn't you say that this matter is foolproof? Since you can't do it, why did you boast in front of me in the first place?" p>
Shang Shixu replied calmly: "Uncle Anyang would still defend his nephew even if he took advantage of me. This is something I didn't expect."
Chen Mianzheng snorted coldly: "Huh, you are cold-blooded. Although you claim to be knowledgeable and sensible, you don't understand the feelings between people. You underestimate family affection." He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Said: "It's too late to reflect on right and wrong now. It's better to think about how to deal with this excess."
Shang Shixu replied: "This person is usually just a clerk in charge of the document library in the Ministry of War. Because he is too rigid in his work and does not understand the officialdom, he has never been reused. He regards Zhang Yiqian as such.
Mentor, but Zhang Yiqian is not the only one who recommended him to go to the north this time..."
"And Lin Yuanzhi!" Chen Mianzheng put the wine glass on the table and sneered: "Huh, revenge for killing a son! Lin Jingmo killed his son, do you think Zhang Yiqian hates you or Lin Jingmo more?
Polygala?"
Shang Shixu frowned slightly when he heard this, but soon regained his composure. He picked up the wine pot and filled it up for Chen Mianzheng.
"Interesting." Chen Mianzheng picked up the wine glass and smiled thoughtfully: "Yu Gaizhi did call Zhang Yiqian his mentor, but he is just a fool who does things without rules. He will not listen to Zhang Yiqian at all.
What's so scary about being a nerd? With Zhang Yiqian's move, I feel that he is not against us, but against Lin Yuanzhi."
Shang Shixu replied: "He is just a Neo-Confucian scholar who studies rotely. If nothing else works, just kill him on the road."
Chen Mianzheng shook his head: "Killing is easy, but he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor to investigate the northern border. He died on the road for no reason, which may make people more suspicious."
He looked at the clear and mellow wine in his glass, raised his head and pointed out: "The key to this matter is probably Zhang Yiqian. Now because of the evil woman in your family, all our plans have been disrupted. We still have to
Just do what you like."
Shang Shixu raised his cold black eyes and looked at Chen Mianzheng emotionlessly.
Chen Mianzheng looked at him in confusion and said, "Why did a smelly girl who only knew rouge, gouache, and brocade silk now start to support justice, punish rape and eliminate evil? I heard that your wife suffered a head injury.
I have lost my memory, is this possible?"
Shang Shixu didn't answer immediately. He lowered his head and said one word after a while: "Yes."
Chen Mianzheng smiled slyly. Shang Shixu glanced at him sideways and saw that he looked confident. He was very confused: Is he going to deal with Lin Jingmo? Although Lin Jingmo is Lin Yuanzhi's daughter, he is only a minister.
Madam, she lives in a deep house for a long time. What should he do with a meaningless woman? Is it my imagination?
Shang Shixu said coldly: "Don't worry, foster father, I will definitely take care of Yu Gezhi's affairs."
Chen Mianzheng smiled and said: "Okay, you are tired too. Go back home early to prepare for departure tomorrow."
"Yes." Shang Shixu said and returned to Shang Mansion.
What he didn't know was that after he left that night, Chen Mianzheng sent a carriage to take Han Zilan to Zhang Mansion...
……
On the third day after Shang Shixu left for the northern border, Lin Jingmo heard the news from the servant of Anyang Bofu that Zhang Yiqian had paid the price for his murder.
Although I am happy, I still regret that I cannot seek justice for Lian Xin.
So she asked Mother Li to prepare yellow and white paper and go outside Ruixiang Tower at night, preparing to pay homage to Lotus Heart at the place where she fell.
Unexpectedly, she met Han Zilan. She seemed to be looking at Lin Jingmo who was burning paper on the roadside with all her heart.
Lin Jingmo also saw her, so he stood up and approached her and said, "Miss Zi Lan, what's on your mind? Or are you here to pay homage to Miss Lian Xin? Thanks to you for telling me who Xu Zhou was, otherwise
There is no way to redress Miss Lianxin’s grievance.”
Han Zilan stared at Lin Jingmo coldly and did not answer.
"Husband, he..." Lin Jingmo said cautiously: "He went to the north. Now he is not in the capital. You are alone in Ruixiang Tower. Why not move back to Shang Mansion to live with me? It is also good to have someone to take care of you." Han Zilan looked away and looked to one side: "I deliberately lied to you that Xu Zhou was Lian Xin's lover and asked you to go to Anyang Bo. I just wanted to drive a wedge between you and your cousin and let you know what your cousin was doing behind his back.
It’s just a matter of fact. But I didn’t expect that…”
Lin Jingmo turned his head in confusion: "Aren't you trying to seek justice for Lian Xin?"
Han Zilan sneered: "I didn't know the existence of that letter at all, and I didn't expect Uncle Anyang to stand up for Xu Zhou. Xu Zhou was just a fool. He was killed because he offended Zhang Renhuai because of a geisha we only met once. Lian Xin was
It’s even more stupid. Women like us, it’s good to live well, but we want to get into trouble with others, causing ourselves to lose our lives and be pushed downstairs!”
Lin Jingmo was a little surprised when he heard this: "Do you know everything?"
Han Zilan's eyes turned red. She looked at Lin Jingmo and said, "Yes, from beginning to end, I was present when the two of them died. I saw them all. Zhang Renhuai stabbed Xu Zhou to death, and how Lian Xin was pushed down.
Yes, I can see it clearly. Another thing is that Zhang Renhuai did not actually kill Lian Xin. I also know that because Lian Xin was rescued at that time and several of us sisters had gone to the hospital to see her. She was clearly alive at that time.
She was fine, but she died after one night. Just think about it and you know she was silenced!"
Lin Jingmo asked in disbelief: "Then why don't you come forward to testify? You know everything, why don't you say it?"
But Han Zilan laughed like crazy: "Because I love my cousin, I can give everything for him. I know that he will go to the north soon. In addition to him, there will be an official from the Ministry of War accompanying him, which offended Zhang Yiqian."
, it means it will harm my cousin!"
Lin Jingmo opened his eyes in surprise: "Will it hurt...will it hurt my husband?"
