depend on for life

Back at the palace, Chen Shishi summoned Li Qi and asked, "How is Wen Shizhao's reputation in Qingping County in recent years?"

"My lord. County Magistrate Wen's achievements in Qingping County are mediocre, but he is still diligent in governing and caring for the people, and obeys the law."

So far, Chen Shishi has confirmed that the person who framed her was Li Cheng.Why do you say that Li Cheng framed her?Because just now she asked Li Cheng if he knew how his son died?If Li Cheng didn't know, a normal person should ask her back how his son died instead of calling someone directly.If he wanted to call for someone, Li Cheng should have called for someone to arrest the assassin the first time he saw her masked in black.

Moreover, Li Cheng actually felt that she was familiar with her, which meant that he used to pay attention to himself. Why did he pay attention to himself? Didn't he think that he was the murderer of his son?But because there is no evidence, they cannot be dealt with openly, so they can only be framed secretly.

Li Cheng thinks that she killed Li Mao, and she feels a little wronged, but when she thinks back, even if Li Mao survives, she will be exposed sooner or later after using the crossbow and sleeve arrows. matter.

That being the case, Li Mao's scourge should die!

Now, it's Li Cheng's turn.

She wrote a letter and said to Li Qi: "Send someone to deliver this letter to Zhang Mang, the magistrate of the county. Remember not to let Zhang Man know who sent the letter. Also, send a few experts to closely monitor Li Cheng's residence." If there is any movement, please let me know immediately. In addition..."

"Yes, my lord!"

Early the next morning, Wen Zaiyin came to the door. Chen Shishi did not expect him to be so active, so he said: "Today is Qingming, the official and the son are going to visit the tomb of the late princess. Doesn't Master Wenshan have to sacrifice to the ancestors?"

"Wen is from Linzhou, and his ancestral grave is not in Qingping. The family ranks third, and his elder brother takes care of everything. Wen promised Mr. Chen to go to Xiao's family to propose marriage for Mr. Chen, so naturally he dare not neglect."

"Thank you, Chief Wenshan. However, I haven't prepared the betrothal gift yet. I'll send someone to notify you when I'm done with the affairs of the palace and ready for the betrothal gift!"

She is not in a hurry now, she will take her revenge first, so that Xiao Jinyi won't be worried.And knowing that Wen Shizhao was locked up by Moon Jae-in, she was even more in a hurry.What's more, Xiao Jinyi hasn't forgiven her yet, and hastily came to propose marriage. If she is rejected, it's okay for Chen Shiyi to lose face, but the face of Wu Zhuangyuan Chen Yi, the face of the palace can't be lost, right?So it was better to coax Xiao Jinyi slowly, until Xiao Jinyi changed his mind, and then came to propose marriage.

After sending Wen Jae-in away, Chen Shiyi and Li Lanfeng led the people from the palace to the cemetery of the Qingping Palace. After the sacrifice, she rode to Xinghua Village alone. A bunch of black-clothed masked assassins came out to assassinate.

Chen Shiyi thought, this Li Cheng is not only not stupid, but also reacts quite quickly, but he is just too impatient.

If they want to kill her without anyone noticing, it depends on whether they have the ability.

After Chen Shiyi fought fiercely with the master and assassin for more than ten minutes, the county magistrate Zhang Mang came with the arresting yamen servants, and Li Qi brought the palace guards over.

"Not one will be spared, life or death!" Chen Shishi ordered.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the expert wanted to run away. Chen Shiyi immediately chased after him. After three hundred rounds of fighting, he finally captured him.

Chen Shixi touched his acupuncture points and removed his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide.Pulling off his veil, he was a middle-aged man with a featureless face.Then she saw that all the other men in black were executed or captured alive.

Zhang Mang came over and said, "The lower official received a secret letter saying that someone will assassinate the lord and the prince during the sacrifice today, so the lower official has been secretly protecting with the police. It's because the lower official came late, luckily the lord is fine."

"Master Zhang saved me, it should be just right." If she didn't leave the team, these assassins wouldn't show up either.Unfortunately, they misjudged her strength.

Then Chen Shishi said to the middle-aged man: "I'm new here, I've never offended anyone, and I don't know you, why did you assassinate me? Or did someone pay you to assassinate me? You know, Assassinating an official ordered by the imperial court is a capital crime! If someone instructs you to assassinate this official, as long as you confess the real culprit, I can spare your life. If you agree, just blink your eyes. The same is true for everyone else. If you tell this official the person behind the scenes, I will The officer can also spare your life."

The middle-aged man came here for money, there was no need to risk his life for Li Cheng, so he blinked his eyes.

Chen Shiyi put his chin on, and the middle-aged man said, "How do I know if your words are true or not?"

"Believe it, you may live. If you don't believe it, you will never live."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then said: "The person who ordered us to assassinate you is the county lieutenant Li Cheng."

"I have no grievances with Li Cheng. Why did he assassinate me? Do you have any evidence? You must know that framing an official by the court is also a capital crime."

"I don't know why Li Cheng asked me to assassinate you. I have no evidence, and I have not framed it."

Chen Shishi asked the other men in black: "Did Li Cheng instigate you to assassinate this official? If you want to live, tell the truth. If you want to die, you can kill yourself now."

The men in black nodded and said, "It was Li Cheng who ordered us to assassinate Your Excellency."

Chen Shishi said to Zhang Mang: "Master Zhang, record the statement and sign it for these people."

Zhang Mang arranged for the master to do it, and said: "My lord, these confessions are not enough to prove that it was the lord who was assassinated by Li Cheng. When the time comes, he will categorically deny that he doesn't know these people, and there is nothing we can do!"

"It's okay, I have a plan."

………………

Qingping county government, except Wen Shizhao, all the important people are present, why?

Because a major event happened in Qingping County, what happened? It turned out that Qingping Wang Yizi, Wu Zhuangyuan Chen Yi was stabbed to death as soon as he returned to his hometown, and his body is still in the county government!

Zhang Mang said to Li Cheng, "What can we do? County Magistrate Wen is ill, Master Chen died in Qingping County, the Holy Majesty will be furious. It's all because I was late. Although I caught a few assassins, Chen My lord is still killed by the traitor. No, I have to torture those assassins as soon as possible, and ask them why they want to assassinate Mr. Chen."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng said, "Master Zhang, it is my county lieutenant's responsibility to interrogate the prisoner, so don't bother Mr. County Cheng to worry about it."

"That's okay, please Master Li must catch the real culprit, otherwise you and I will lose our black hats!"

"That's natural."

When Li Cheng arrived at the prison, he saw the middle-aged man waiting for others, and he withdrew the others from the prison, saying, "Keep your mouth tight. If you dare to confess to me, be careful of your wives and children."

The middle-aged man said: "Master Li, I don't have a wife, children, or children in your hands. If I assassinated a court official like Chen Yi for you, it would be a death sentence anyway. If I can't live, I have killed for you all these years." I'll stab them all out, and you don't even want to live."

Li Cheng's eyes were full of murderous intentions, but he still held back and said, "You hold on for a few days, and I will find a way to get you out."

"Lord Li, you want to rescue these people who assassinated me? How brave! Sending people to assassinate me is even more daring."

Li Cheng's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.At this time, the cell door suddenly opened, and those seriously injured assassins in black stood up one by one. It also included Chen Shishi, who he thought was dead.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Mang came in with someone from the outside, and said, "These assassins said that you sent them to assassinate Mr. Chen. At first I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to admit it yourself. Come here, let the assassination of the imperial court official be the crime of the next Li Cheng, who was born, will be sent to prison for me to wait for trial."

Li Cheng knew that he had been tricked, and he didn't want to be caught without a fight. He even wanted to kidnap Li Lanfeng and flee, but what use would it be in front of a master like Chen Shishi?

Within a few strokes, Li Chengcheng vomited blood from Chen Shiyi's beating, and his jaw was also taken off.

Then the police quickly took off his official hat and put him in prison.

After everyone retreated, Chen Shishi said to Zhang Mang, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for catching the murderer who assassinated me."

"My lord, you are being polite. This is what a subordinate official should do. It is the subordinate official who should thank you."

Li Cheng has a lot of people, and he is the tyrant in Qingping County. The county magistrate dare not raise his head when he has suppressed him all these years.Now that he is seeking his own death, the evidence is solid, and then he can slowly disintegrate and absorb Li Cheng's influence.

"Well, I have heard before that Li Cheng and his son have committed many crimes and harmed the people. Mr. Zhang will interrogate him carefully and see if he has any other evil deeds."

"Yes, my lord!"

Then Chen Shiyi went to the cell where Li Cheng was held alone, and after letting the guards back down, he entered the cell and put Li Cheng's jaw on.Asked: "Why assassinate this official?"

"Winners and losers, there is nothing to say! I don't know how you changed from Chen Shiyi to Chen Yi today, but let me tell you, you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will die worse than me. I'll be waiting for you down there."

"It's a bunch of nonsense, and you dare to frame this official when you are about to die."

"I have no evidence, but I will never forget the scar on your throat, and I will never forget your voice. You are the murderer of my son. Chen Shishi, four years ago, did not kill you , is my biggest mistake and fault.”

So that's the case, no wonder her voice changed last night when she covered her face. Li Cheng even recognized her. In the final analysis, it was the scar between her throats.Presumably he recognized me, but there was no evidence to prove that I was not Chen Yi, nor was I capable of fighting the current me and Qingping Palace, so he decided to assassinate me.

Chen Shiyi said in his heart: Although Li Cheng has no evidence to prove that she is not Chen Yi, but the nights are long and the dreams are many, and the trial period for the court ordered officials to be convicted and sentenced is long, it is better to deal with him earlier.

"It seems that Mr. Li is really old-eyed and blind to recognize the wrong person. Chen Shishi died more than three years ago, and the Qingping county government has also closed the coffin. I didn't expect Mr. Li to frame up my official identity just because I also have this scar. , and even sent someone to assassinate this official. It is really self-destructive, which makes this official feel sorry!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Shiyi slid Li Cheng's chin, tapped his dumb acupoint, and ordered the cell boss to watch Li Cheng carefully and not allow anyone to see him.

That night, she sent someone to rob the prison and "rescue" Li Cheng away!

Zhang Mang hurriedly found her and asked what to do now.

Chen Shixi said very calmly: "The evidence for Li Cheng's assassination of the imperial court official is conclusive. Now that his party members dare to rob the prison, it is natural that everyone in the Li family should be imprisoned, and Li Cheng's party members should be investigated one by one. They should also be reported to the Ministry of Punishment. If you go to sea to catch documents, you must arrest Li Cheng."

So Zhang Man understood, and took advantage of the opportunity of investigating and arresting Li Cheng's followers to quickly disintegrate Li Cheng's power in Qingping County. In the process, he also found a lot of evidence of Li Cheng and his clan's crimes.Now, the Li family couldn't turn around anymore.

Of course, among all the crimes of Li Cheng, the fire in Qingping Mountain more than three years ago is indispensable.

So Chen Shiyi was rehabilitated.

Li Cheng's matter came to an end, and Chen Shishi didn't need to worry about the repair of the ancestral tomb of Prince Qingping's Mansion, so in the following days, she naturally planned to chase after his wife.
