Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Yesterday, Shen Lanxi visited the neighbors of the soldiers defending the city. Today, she plans to dig deeper into the backgrounds of these people.

Those people had no relatives, so they could only start from the officers and soldiers on duty.

Shen Lanxi took Zhou Ruyuan and ran straight to the city gate.

"Sir Shen, what are we going to do? Can you tell us in advance?" Zhou Ruyuan felt unhappy when he saw that Shen Lanxi acted on her own without consulting him at all and made her own decision.

Shen Lanxi: "If the imperial edict in my hand is correct, His Majesty has appointed me to investigate the Wei Family Army case."

Zhou Ruyuan didn't expect Shen Lanxi to be so ruthless, and said with a stern face: "His Majesty also ordered me to cooperate with Lord Shen in investigating the case."

Shen Lanxi said calmly: "Well, if your Highness has any objections to this case, please speak up."

Zhou Ruyu smiled confidently. He had discussed with his advisers for half the night just to take the lead in investigating the case.

"This king believes that we should focus on tracking where they are going."

Shen Lanxi smiled softly: "My Lord and I are exactly opposite. Since we have different ideas, why don't we separate and investigate our own affairs!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Shen Lanxi with a cold face: "Your Majesty wants us to investigate the case together."

Shen Lanxi's tone was sharp, and she thrust forward without hiding her edge.

"So when there are conflicting opinions, who should we listen to and who should take the lead?"

Zhou Ruyuan thought to himself, naturally he would be the main one.

He thought so in his heart, but said: "Of course, whoever is right should be listened to."

Shen Lanxi: "Basis?"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes moved, and he replied: "We can debate, and we'll listen to whoever makes sense."

Shen Lanxi looked at Che Mingyuan, who immediately stepped forward.

"Lord Shen sent people to investigate their whereabouts yesterday. Those people deliberately confused us and left in different directions. Lord Shen thought that sending people in all directions to search would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, but he still sent people to investigate. This morning, those people have all returned and found nothing."

Zhou Ruyuan was very dissatisfied with Che Mingyuan's conversation with him.

"Since you have already sent someone over, why didn't you inform the king?"

Che Mingyuan: "All the files are in the Dali Temple. Your Highness can check them at any time."

Zhou Ruyuan's face turned even darker. It was obvious that Shen Lanxi wanted to get rid of him and investigate the case alone.

Whether for credit or for face, he had to solve the case and make Shen Lanxi look at him differently.

"Then follow your arrangements. Next time you have any arrangements, you must inform me in advance. Father said that this case must be reported to him in written form every day!"

Che Mingyuan bowed: "Yes!"

Next, Shen Lanxi personally inquired about those who had interactions with the soldiers guarding the city, from those with close relationships to those with whom they just talked, and questioned them one by one.

Zhou Ruyuan was watching from the side. At first he found it boring, but gradually he became absorbed in listening and watching.

Shen Lanxi patiently asked each question several times. If the person's answer was different from the previous one, she would continue to dig deeper.

He had never seen Shen Lanxi so smart!

The morning passed quickly, and at noon, Wei Dongzhu came over.

"I have reserved a table at Guangxinglou. The Mei Shaobai there is famous throughout Beijing. Let's go there now. The food is ready for the table!" Wei Dongzhu looked at Shen Lanxi with a smile.

The latter smiled faintly: "I just have an hour's rest time at noon!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at the two of them talking and laughing in an extremely intimate manner, and his anger slowly grew.

If the Shen family hadn't gotten into trouble, Shen Lanxi would have been his wife now.

Now she is talking and laughing with another man in front of him. Is she deliberately taking revenge on him?

No wonder she said those cold words this morning, it turns out she has always been holding a grudge against him!

"Your Highness, I have an appointment with someone. I will go to have dinner now." Shen Lanxi turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Ruyuan: "I just heard you say you were going to Guangxing Tower. Today is the first time we work together. I will treat you, Lord Shen and General Wei."

Wei Dongzhu smiled as he looked into Zhou Ruyuan's eyes, without any warmth at all.

"Don't bother Your Highness. I have already reserved a seat. Lan Xi and I have something to discuss, so it's not convenient for Your Highness to go!"

When Zhou Ruyuan heard Wei Dongzhu actually calling Shen Lanxi's name, he could no longer hide his jealousy.

"Lan Xi, are you still angry with me?"

Wei Dongzhu's face turned cold in an instant.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Lord Shen and Your Highness no longer have any relationship." Wei Dongzhu half of his body blocked in front of Shen Lanxi.

The people around clearly felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

One is the ex-husband, and the other is a great general who followed him all the way from Dongchuan to the northwest. It is obvious that the ex-husband dislikes his ex-wife's admirer.

"Wei Dongzhu, let's go!"

Wei Dongzhu, who was on the verge of a fight the moment before, turned around and followed the next moment.

For a man to listen to a woman like that, it's obvious that their relationship is not simple.

Thinking of the various comments about the two people in Beijing, there were many different opinions at the time.

Zhou Ruyuan looked at the two people who left one after the other, his face as black as ink, and left angrily with a flick of his sleeves.

The incident of the three people parting on the street was split into multiple versions and quickly spread throughout the capital.

The most widely circulated rumor is that when Shen Lanxi was in the northwest, she had already secretly decided to spend her life with Wei Dongzhu. Wei Dongzhu was so angry for his beloved that he would rather hide behind the scenes and give all the credit to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi is not worthy of the title of Marquis of Zhenbei. She used her body as a woman to cheat for military merits and deceived the emperor. Her crimes are extremely heinous!

Royal Palace

Emperor Renxiao looked at Wu Yanzhi and said in a deep voice, "You have made great contributions to the recovery of the northwest. I don't want to see any unrealistic words in tomorrow's memorial."

Wu Yanzhi knew that such charges would not threaten Shen Lanxi, so he came for another purpose.

"Your Majesty, in the street, in front of everyone, the people all saw Shen Lanxi angering the Prince of Zhennan because of Wei Dongzhu. She is a woman after all, and she should be restrained in public."

Emperor Renxiao nodded.

On the second day, memorials impeaching Shen Lanxi for not observing female etiquette as a woman were presented to Emperor Renxiao's desk like snowflakes.

Emperor Renxiao casually reprimanded Shen Congwen in the court and then left it at that.

Shen Congwen returned home with a gloomy face, but he didn't expect that something even more gloomy was waiting for him at home.

"Master, the White Deer Academy sent a letter saying that our young master is not suitable to study in the academy, so you don't need to prepare for admission."

Shen Congwen almost fainted after hearing this.

"The people in the academy must have heard about Shen Lanxi's rebellious behavior on the street, so they refused to accept the Shen family's children. Go and find Shen Lanxi for me!" Shen Congwen was so angry that his face turned red and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

Shen Lanxi also encountered a thorny problem. The six witnesses who were detained in the Dali Temple prison all died overnight.

They all died of poisoning!

After the autopsy, Ban Sicao said, "It was the Soul-Severing Powder. It went into the stomach along with the food, and then the people fell into a deep sleep and died. That's why there was no sound when these people died!"
