The rebirth of the son-in-law

Early this morning, the inn welcomed several waves of people, even Zhang He came to join in the fun.

Several people greeted each other, Zhang He's eyes fell on Song Zhi's body, his eyes were fixed, and he was slightly stunned.This was the first time he saw the legendary "Song Zhi" so close.When he was in Luoyang, he only heard that the Song family had a daughter named Song Zhi, but he didn't know exactly what kind of person she was.When we met at the gate of the palace that day, he was too far away to see clearly. Song Zhi passed out and was hugged by someone, which caught his attention. Unfortunately, his mind was on Princess Xianning and King Changsha, and he didn't pay attention to Song Zhi's appearance.Looking at it this way, it looks very much like Song Fang, and his demeanor and demeanor are just like the women's clothes Song Fang wears.

But he didn't have time to think about it, Princess Xianning's words drew his attention to her.

"Uncle Que, we are going to take a look at the wine house today, and then go to the Shen Mansion?"

Zhang He withdrew his gaze, smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ming is right."

Princess Xianning nodded and walked out first: "Let's go."

The two walked out of the guest house one after the other, and walked towards Song Jian's guest house.There were not many people in the early morning, but the merchants on the street had already opened their doors and set up stalls, and cleaned up the front court, waiting for the guests to come.

Zhang He was concerned about the matter of the inn. He sorted out the evidence last night, but the scattered things could not make up the whole truth, so he came over early in the morning and invited Princess Xianning to go with him.He believes that Princess Xianning will find something, and one more person can help him fill in the gaps, so that the case can be solved as soon as possible.Tomorrow will be the third day, and I don't know how King Changsha will make things difficult for him.

In fact, Changsha King did not have much confidence in the efficiency of Tingwei Mansion.On the second day after the incident, Guang Luxun was ordered to be removed from his position. After hearing that Shen Yan was also involved, he ordered the new Guang Luxun to arrest Shen Yan without any explanation.

Guang Luxun, who was promoted in the morning, was going to offend the Shen family in the afternoon, which can be described as mixed.But King Changsha’s anger needs someone to calm down. This is not a simple murder case. No one dares to offend King Changsha’s majesty at this time, so Guang Luxun acted quickly and sent someone to arrest Shen Yan, who had lost his soul because of the loss of his concubine. Entering the prison was so fast that even the Shen family couldn't react.

When Zhang He and Princess Xianning went to the wine house to investigate the case, the Patriarch of the Shen family went into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and cried with snot and tears in front of the Queen Mother.

The queen mother didn't know about it yet, and when she heard that the king of Changsha didn't know, she sent her confidant and beloved general to the prison. She thought that the king of Changsha had ordered a mess, so she hurriedly invited the king of Changsha.

"Kneel down!" The queen mother angrily reprimanded without waiting for King Changsha to enter the door.

The King of Changsha didn't know what happened, but the empress dowager's anger made him shiver, and he knelt on the ground obediently, kowtowing to the ground, not daring to vent his anger.

"My lord, but you ordered Shen Yan to be arrested?"

When King Changsha heard that it was for Shen Yan, he straightened up, looked up at the Queen Mother, lowered his face, frowned and said, "Queen Mother, there is a reason for me to grab Shen Yan."

"What's the reason? I want to hear it." The Queen Mother snorted.

The King of Changsha was helpless and wanted to get up, but the Queen Mother said coldly: "Your Majesty, let's talk on your knees."

Sighing, the King of Changsha had no choice but to kneel upright and said: "Queen Mother, someone accused Shen Yan of being a murderer, people from Tingwei Mansion came to ask Shen Yan, but Shen Yan hesitated and refused to say where he was that day. Now it seems that Shen Yan is indeed suspected, so I have no choice but to arrest him first, and then see if he is innocent."

"You think Shen Yan is guilty just based on the inferences of the people in Tingwei's Mansion? Your Majesty, how can you believe their one-sided words? I taught you since you were a child, don't listen to what you believe, and see is believing!"

The king of Changsha felt strange, and he explained: "I just let Shen Yan stay in the prison temporarily. If he is innocent, I will naturally release him, and I have not convicted him now."

"But the officials don't think so!" The queen mother sternly said, "The officials only think that the king uses power to oppress people and arrests people at will without evidence. Innocent, but this reputation is also ruined! The Shen family is just such an official in the court, is Your Majesty trying to cut off the Shen family's official career?"

The king of Changsha couldn't argue with anything, so he could only compromise and said: "I know. The queen mother calms down, and I will let people go and release Shen Yan." He bowed with both hands and got up to leave.

Feng Ma ran in, winked at him, and told him to hurry up.The Empress Dowager's sharp eyes saw Feng Ma's anxious expression, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Feng Ma turned pale, walked in with his head down, bowed to the queen mother, and said in a shrill voice: "Back to the queen mother...someone found bloody clothes under the bed in Shen Zhonglang's duty room, and there was a window behind his bed. Down, a dagger was found."

The Queen Mother asked in surprise, "What?"

Feng Ma leaned over and saluted: "Doctor Yu Shi has heard the news and is rushing to the palace."

The imperial censor in charge of the impeachment and supervision of the officials came, and he came in a menacing way, and he came for blood clothes and daggers. The news leaked out too fast.The face of Changsha King changed. If this matter was not leaked out, even if Shen Yan was guilty, the queen mother would have ways to protect him, but if it had been leaked out, then if the queen mother wanted to protect Shen Yan, he would have to enforce the law impartially.

He got angry and said goodbye to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I still have something important to do. I will come to see the Queen Mother after the matter is settled."

Although the queen mother was worried and nervous, this was the business of King Changsha, she could not interfere, so she let it go.

King Changsha rushed to Chengde Hall and found several people in blood clothes and daggers kneeling on the ground, waiting for him to deal with.When Changsha King saw the evidence, his face was as dark as ink, and he shouted sharply, "Feng Ma!"

"The old slave is here."

"Hand over everything to Tingwei! Then call Taiwei, Weiwei, and Zhijinwu to Gu, hurry up!" He almost gnashed his teeth and yelled at Feng Ma.

Feng Ma Yingnuo, rushed non-stop to let Huang Menling go to preach.On the way, he saw Doctor Yu Shi rushing towards Chengde Hall with his clothes on his belt, he let out a silent groan in his heart, and went up to him bravely, and said with a smile: "Does Doctor Yu Shi want to see the king?"

"Feng Changshi, I have something important to see the king, please don't stop me."

"Don't stop me, don't stop me." Feng Ma squinted his eyes and smiled like a flower, "Doctor Yushi, you must have heard this from the palace, right? Your Majesty's news from the palace is fatal, who knows?" Don't spread it to outsiders. No, I'm asking the minister to invite the Taiwei, Weiwei and Zhijinwu to discuss the purge of the palace regulations."

Doctor Yushi hesitated for a moment.He is also an old man. After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he understood at Feng Ma's point. The King of Changsha didn't have time to listen to his advice. Going in is a bad idea.Although he is upright, he is not stupid. After thinking about it, he calmed down, nodded and said: "Where, I just want to tell the king that Mr. Song who was sent to Xiangyang for questioning has returned."

"Mr. Song? Song Shu and Song Changsheng?" Feng Ma was stunned for a moment, then took a hissing breath, "Why is he back at this time? Your Majesty also said two days ago that the newly appointed Tingwei Zuojian and Mr. Song look alike. Well, I have been thinking that Mr. Song should come back."

"Your Majesty and Young Master Song have been separated for many years. I think this meeting will make your Majesty feel at ease." Dr. Yushi was not very interested in Song Shu, but he just mentioned it casually because he couldn't think of any excuse.

Feng Ma nodded, and the two stopped chatting.Doctor Yu Shi led the people back without even seeing King Changsha's face. Feng Ma turned back to Chengde Hall, where King Changsha was sitting in the hall, pacing with his hands up and down.

"Your Majesty." Feng Ma took a few steps forward and whispered, "Song Changsheng is back."

"Song Shu?" Changsha King stood up, a little surprised, but felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. After thinking about it, he sat back and said, "If you calculate the time, he should come back. In the first year of Zhengping, he said he would Went to Yingchuan to visit relatives, returned to Changsha last year, and happened to have something to send him to Xiangyang, it was really hard work for him."

"Does your majesty want to see him?"

The king of Changsha was restless, he had no time to see Song Shu: "He went to Xiangyang and didn't finish my work. Now something happened in the palace, and Shen Yan was accused of being a murderer. I'm not in the mood... Wait for a while Goodbye to him."

"Here."

The King of Changsha summoned several officials in the palace, and then purged the people in the palace wantonly, and arrested some people who rumored that Shen Yan was the murderer on the charge of "spreading rumors and disrupting the court".

Princess Xianning and Zhang He walked into Song Jian's wine house, where the room was tightly closed, when it was dark.

The wine house was cleaned very well, but because the door hadn't been opened for a few days, there was some dust on the table.The two of them rummaged through the cabinet but found nothing. The walls were solid and there was wine in the wine jar, so there was nothing suspicious about it.

After turning around, only the wine cellar was left unchecked.Princess Xianning and Zhang He met together and exchanged income.

"I didn't find anything." Zhang He said.

"Me too." Princess Xianning whispered, "But it's too clean, which makes people feel suspicious. I haven't seen the account of the wine house, not even a piece of paper or a bamboo slip."

"Has anyone been here?"

Princess Xianning shook her head: "The furnishings here have not been moved, and the dust has not been cleaned."

The two were at a loss when suddenly Princess Xianning heard a slight sound.

Princess Xianning's expression changed: "There is someone!"

Zhang He also frowned, and the two turned over and walked towards the wine cellar at the same time.

In the wine cellar, a middle-aged man in gray clothes lit a pot of fire, and while putting a roll of bamboo slips into the fire, he was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, he muttered: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Damn it!" If I knew I had taken the money, I would have left immediately, otherwise I would not have been asked to come back by that scorpion... After this burning, I will leave and never come back to this ghostly place!"

A gust of cold wind blew, and the sound of the fire fluttered, which startled the middle-aged man. Before he could react, a sword suddenly appeared in front of him, picked up the few scrolls of bamboo slips that he hadn't burned, and threw them on the ground. Stamp on the fire on the bamboo slips vigorously.The middle-aged man was taken aback, and shouted "Who?" He quickly reacted, turned his head and wanted to run, another sword arrived in front of him, and after his eyes widened and froze, it landed on his shoulder, sharp The blade of the sword pressed against the skin, bringing a slight chill.

The middle-aged man thumped, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Don't...don't kill me...forgive me!"
