Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Chen Zisong followed the clues all the way to Zhang Zishi. Zhang Zishi tried to deny it in vain, and finally had to offer a large sum of money in the hope of winning over Chen Zisong.

But Chen Zisong was a man of integrity. Not only did he refuse to accept any benefits from Zhang Zishi, he also drafted a memorial and sent it secretly to the capital overnight, exposing Zhang Zishi's abuse of power for personal gain.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Zishi intercepted Chen Zisong's memorial overnight and completely gave up the idea of ​​winning over Chen Zisong. He thought about how to deal with this "thorn in the eye".

At that time, Gong Zhongzheng, the Tongpan of Jiangning Prefecture, had discovered evidence that Chen Zisong was secretly communicating with the Western Shen Kingdom. Zhang Zishi, who was surrounded by enemies, seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He did not care whether it was true or not, and helped Gong Zhongzheng to escort the memorial accusing Chen Zisong to Beijing for 800 miles at an accelerated speed.

Emperor Yanning attached great importance to this and quickly appointed an imperial envoy to investigate the matter, the Dali Temple Shaoqing and the son-in-law Tian Zitao.

After Zhang Zishi learned about the candidate for the imperial envoy, he immediately sent a generous gift to Tian Zitao and expressed his hope that Chen Zisong would die before entering Beijing.

Tian Zitao knew that the feud between Zhang Zishi and Chen Zisong had reached a life-and-death point, so he took the opportunity to demand a large amount of money from Zhang Zishi, and finally designed to kill Chen Zisong with a false imperial edict.

After the fall of the Zhennan General's Mansion, Zhang Zishi was still upset because Chen Zisong discovered that Liu Yongfeng was selling official salt. He was quite dissatisfied with Liu Yongfeng and repeatedly threatened him not to allow him to deal in official salt again.

However, Liu Yongfeng was not an obedient person. Although he acted well on the surface, he was still plotting his way to the official salt behind the scenes.

He just acted more cautiously on the surface, and even specially had someone build a secret room in Ge Township for storing salt so that Zhang Zishi would not be able to see it.

After the incident at the Zhennan General's Mansion, Liu Yongfeng became more and more wary of Zhang Zishi.

He was afraid that he would die without knowing why one day, so he asked Zhang Zishi to pay for the training of Shouma on the grounds of tight funds, so as to leave traceable evidence, which might be able to save his life when necessary.

Zhang Zishi also knew that the money Liu Yongfeng got could not satisfy his ambition, and he was afraid that things would backfire, so he followed Liu Yongfeng's wishes and paid a monthly "training fee" to the shop under Liu Yongfeng's name.

The two men never imagined at the time that it was the "evidence" deliberately left behind by Liu Yongfeng that would lead to such a major case.

The evidence and confession provided by Zhang Tong completely confirmed Zhang Zishi's guilt, and the dragnet that Jing Zhichen had already set up left Zhang Zishi with nowhere to escape.

Jing Zhichen sent his men to present the confession and some evidence to the capital urgently. Emperor Yan Ning was furious when he learned about it.

He immediately issued an edict to dismiss all officials involved in the case, and appointed Crown Prince Jing Zhichen as the imperial envoy to investigate the case thoroughly, and allowed him the right to act first and be informed later.

Secondly, there were many doubts in the case of the General Zhennan Mansion, so the Crown Prince Jing Zhichen was specially ordered to bring people from the General Zhennan Mansion to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, the case of the General Zhennan Mansion was handed over to the three courts for trial.

The word "carry" instead of "arrest" indicated Emperor Yanning's more moderate attitude, which made Xu Xingyin breathe a sigh of relief.

After receiving the imperial edict, Jing Zhichen's first thing was to take Xu Xingyin to Jiangning Prison and release the entire Zhennan General's Mansion from prison.

The prince's ceremonial procession was majestic and grand. Armored generals led the way on horses, while the Black Tiger Riders, eunuchs, and maids walked on both sides of the carriage. The long team almost filled half of the street.

Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin stood in the team in palace dress. The layers of protective troops formed a natural barrier for them, keeping curiosity and scrutiny several feet away.

The iron gate of the prison opened in response, and the Jinyiwei were stationed on both sides. The Chen family, once the most famous family in Jiangning, finally reappeared in people's sight on this day.

The Chen family members walked slowly to the prison gate and knelt down under the leadership of Old Madam Chen.

"Your humble servant/your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."

The body crawling on the ground was once the most majestic protector in the eyes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Today, they are still wearing prison uniforms, their bodies are thin, and they no longer have the high spirits they once had, which makes the people unable to hold back their tears.

Xu Xingyin stood there stiffly, the bright warm sun shining on her, making the corners of her scarlet eyes even more dazzling.

After several years, they finally met in the sun, but they were still separated by such a long distance...

She moved slightly, and the man beside her gently grabbed her hand. He shook his head gently at her, and his indifferent words seemed like a reminder and a warning.

"Crown Princess, people's words are scary."

Yes, people’s words are scary. Now Xu Xingyin is the Crown Princess, and the Chen family is still a criminal under duress.

As long as the Zhennan General's Mansion is cleared of the charges, she is not allowed to have any contact with them.

Just because she is the prince's legitimate wife; just because people's words are scary.

Xu Xingyin bit her lip and tried her best to put on a proper smile. Only her tightly clenched fists under her wide sleeves proved her emotions.

But the person next to her seemed not to feel the pain. He just let her hold his hands tightly and said something with an unchanged expression.

"No gift."

Among the Jinyiwei stationed on both sides, someone stepped forward and helped Old Madam Chen up, and the others also stood up to express their gratitude. Xu Xingyin was stunned when he saw this. Why was Lu Xu here?

Jing Zhichen did not notice Xu Xingyin's absent-mindedness, and exchanged a few polite words with the Chen family, saying that Emperor Yanning was very concerned about the case and asked them to just rest assured. He then called Aoying to lead people to send the Chen family back to the old residence of General Zhennan.

The prince's entourage returned to the inn in a grand procession.

Jing Zhichen's attitude made the officials in Jiangning see the direction of the wind. Although the Chen family was still under house arrest after returning to the old house, it was still much better than being in prison.

Moreover, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess both came to welcome him in person. Even if it was because of her status as the Crown Princess, it must have been done with the instruction of Emperor Yan Ning, otherwise why would the Crown Prince do that?

Emperor Yan Ning gave such instructions, and I'm afraid he is inclined to the view that "the Zhennan General's Mansion is not guilty" from the bottom of his heart. If so, the day when the Zhennan General's Mansion will make a comeback is probably not far away.

Some officials who had taken advantage of the misfortune of the Zhennan General's Mansion began to worry.

As for Jing Zhichen, he stayed in the inn for less than an incense stick of time before he hurried back to the Jiangning government office.

Although Zhang Zishi has been convicted, the case involves a wide range of people, and there is no telling how many officials have benefited from it. Jing Zhichen needs to deal with all the officials involved before returning to Beijing.

The Jiangning Rebellion has not yet been completely quelled. The Black Tiger Cavalry has surrounded the post station like an iron barrel. Xu Xingyin is still staying in the post station and cannot go anywhere.

In the first one or two days, Xu Xingyin could still sit still, but after the next two days, Xu Xingyin began to have some ideas.

Therefore, on the third day, Xu Xingyin discussed with Danfeng for a few words, then changed into a maid's clothes, took Danfeng's token, left the inn, and went straight to the Zhennan General's Mansion.
