The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Chapter 55 Master Shen is a Fugitive?

As soon as Jia sniffed it, he smelled a strange smell in the fresh fragrance. The smell was very light, and it was not obvious because it was covered by spices, but this was definitely the reason that caused Shen Jia to go out of order.

He wished he could slap himself, but under the watchful eyes of their hidden guards, someone sent this strong aphrodisiac to Shen Jia's hands, it was their dereliction of duty.

At this time, Pan Chen and Pan Mo came, followed by a group of Xiang's guards.

Pan Chen and the others barged in when they saw the signal, and they had no time to explain to his family that they were so skilled in martial arts that the guards of Xiangfu couldn't stop them and had to follow them.

A Yi ignored them and said something in Pan Mo's ear. Pan Mo's face changed suddenly, he looked at the cave in the rockery, and growled, "Damn Yao Qiran, does his life take too long?"

"First find a way to take Mr. Shen out and find a doctor. He will never let him go." Jia Yi said.

"Who will go in and bring the adults out? Do you dare?" It's not that Pan Mo doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare. If Shen Jia has already stripped off right now, then they probably have to gouge their eyes afterwards.

Pan Chen also heard Jia Yi's words, and said cruelly: "What time is it, and you still care about what those people do, I will go, if the emperor blames me, I will bear it!"

Everyone knew that there was no better way, so Pan Mo glanced at his younger brother, nodded and said, "Then I'll get rid of these unsightly people first!"

Pan Mo clenched his fists, today's incident was too irritating, he had to vent his anger on these people first.

"Who the hell are you? This is the Chief Minister's Mansion, so you can't let yourself be presumptuous!" Xiang Mansion's guards spread out and surrounded them.

Pan Mo stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We are Master Shen's guards. Master Shen is having an accident in Xiangfu. We are going to take Master Shen away now. Please step back."

"Master Shen?" The guard leader didn't know who the guests were tonight, but he heard that there was a man named Shen among the imperial envoys who came from the imperial court, but he was only a fifth-rank doctor.

With confidence in his mind, the guard leader said confidently: "I don't care who you belong to, if you dare to break into Xiang's mansion, you have to take it down for me. If you have anything to do, please explain it to my lord!"

"What a big tone!" Pan Mo was already full of anger. When they were sent to Shen Jia, they were all unconvinced. Although the emperor's fate was difficult, they felt uncomfortable. Well, plus Shen Jia's character and talent are not bad, and she is the emperor's favorite person, so they gradually regard Shen Jia as their master.

From their point of view, offending Shen Jia is like offending the emperor, and they are eager to save people, they don't want to talk nonsense with these guards at all.

"Then we can only invite you out!" Pan Mo winked at the others and started together.

Pan Chen had already walked into the cave. This cave was very small and could only accommodate two people. He was afraid that he would offend Shen Jia, so he closed his eyes after entering and asked, "My lord, how are you doing?"

Shen Jia's hair was disheveled, and the clothes on his body were torn apart by him. When the cold wind blew, he shivered from the cold, but this made him feel more comfortable, so he simply opened his clothes to let the cold wind blow away the heat from his body.

He held a sharp stone in each of his hands, and the stone cut through his palm, dripping with blood, but he didn't feel any pain.

Seeing Pan Chen appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's...not bad, I can't get up...send me back!"

Pan Chen said, "I'm offended." Then he opened his eyes, didn't dare to look any further, wrapped Shen Jia in his cloak, and picked her up.

When they went out, Xiangfu's guards had already been kicked out of the courtyard, Pan Chen didn't go through the gate, and led Shen Jia over the wall, all the guards who caught up were stopped by Jia Yi.

There was too much commotion here, and Xiang Jie got the news quickly, but the guests in the room were still there, so he didn't get up, but said: "If it is indeed Mr. Shen's guard, let them take him away, or Yes, go and find out what happened to Mr. Shen."

The other person involved in this matter has been fished out of the lake, but unfortunately, he has been unconscious due to excessive freezing, and the eldest lady of the Zhang family was also found in a side room, unconscious on the bed, with disheveled clothes. This scene passed out.

The inspector Zhang Huai glared fiercely at the parents-in-law, "What's going on?"

Where did Xiang's parents-in-law know, but this is Xiang's family, and she is the host of the middle school, so it is impossible to avoid knowing, so she said with Zhang Huai's cannibalistic eyes: "Master Zhang, I will definitely find out about this matter." , give you and your aunt an explanation!"

Zhang Huai ordered his servants to send his wife and daughter to the carriage first, and then asked for a doctor, and then sat in the lobby of Xiang's family to wait for the result. If Xiang's family tried to fool him, he would definitely make the whole family restless.

Xiang Jie frowned and sat beside him, slowly making tea, as if the big thing had nothing to do with him, he asked the butler beside him, "It was said that Mr. Shen was attacked, and later he said that Peng had fallen into the water. Even Miss Zhang fainted for no apparent reason. Is there any connection between the three? You should send someone to investigate. It is best to ask Mr. Shen first, and then ask the doctor to show it to Peng. Make sure he wakes up. come over!"

The housekeeper went to do it immediately. Although Master Shen's side was not easy to deal with, but Peng Yin was still at the mansion, and he might not wake up after drinking the medicine of tiger and wolf. As for whether he will live or die in the future, who cares?

Yao Zhifu came to say goodbye, Xiang Jie glanced at him, and asked him to sit down beside him, "Don't worry, let me have a few cups of tea with the old man, by the way, let me tell you about the origin of that Master Shen. Something happened to the mansion, and the guards around me are all highly skilled in martial arts, so I feel very uneasy."

Yao Zhifu lowered his head, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, he knew that Shen Jia's matter had not been completed since the news came, and he didn't know what went wrong, but no matter what, this matter could always involve him of.

He raised his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Old Xiang doesn't care about the affairs of the court, maybe he doesn't know that Mr. Shen is the number one scholar in the new department and has won the emperor's favor. Qin Zhangyuan said that he was the one who actually handled the case."

"Such a talent at such a young age is really pushing the waves ahead. Since something happened to him in my residence, then Xiang must go to express his condolences. Someone..."

A steward walked in with his head bowed, and listened to his master's instructions: "Go to Da Furen and ask for a hundred-year-old ginseng, and you will send it to the magistrate's yamen in person, and apologize for the old man by the way, and say that the government will definitely deal with it." Check it out."

Zhang Huai didn't say a word, and there were people walking around outside. Not long after, his attendants came in and reported that the young lady was awake.

Zhang Huai apologized, walked out of Xiangfu, and saw his carriage parked on the side of the street, surrounded by a group of guards, and only got out of the way when he saw him coming.

Zhang Huai jumped into the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw his wife was hugging his daughter to ask questions, so he asked calmly, "Did you find out anything?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, touched her daughter's hair lovingly, and whispered, "Qiaoer only said that she fainted not long after entering the room, and she doesn't know anything about it after that."

"Where are her personal maids? How do they serve? If you can't tell the reason, all of them will be killed!"

"Master, don't worry, Madam Du said, when she entered the room, a maid went to fetch clothes for Qiao'er, and a maid followed Xiangfu's maid to bring hot water to wipe her body. Madam Du was very old. I was suffering from dizziness and heart palpitations before. For some reason, I felt uncomfortable all over the body at that time, and I became confused. Seeing Qiaoer sitting in the room waiting, I went to the door to get some air. When she felt better, Qiaoer's clothes It was also delivered, and they entered the house together, but Qiaoer was no longer in the house, they searched the front and back of the house at that time, but they couldn't find anyone, so they looked outside along the way."

Zhang Huai didn't say a word, this matter didn't need to be investigated to know that it was plotted by others, but his daughter had no talent and looks, it was absolutely impossible for her to suffer because of being favored by others, most likely it was to plot against him.

"I see, you go back first, have a good night's rest, and I'll investigate! If I know who did it, I have to kill him!"

Mrs. Zhang stopped him and said, "Master, this matter is not too big after all. After all, there was only Qiao'er in the room at the time, which shows that the other party's scheme did not succeed. You should inquire more and find out who else is besides Qiao'er at night." Who else has had an accident?"

Zhang Huai immediately thought of Peng Yin and Shen Jia. If it was the former, it might be because he purposely approached his daughter in order to win over their Zhang family. If it was the latter... I really can't think of any reason.

"I see."

Pan Chen carried Shen Jia and ran all the way, they didn't go back to the magistrate's yamen, but went to a nearby inn, the doctor had already brought him, and only asked him to diagnose the pulse through the curtain.

"How about my master?" Pan Chen asked anxiously.

The old doctor frowned from time to time, withdrew his hand and said, "This gentleman's body is still in a state of excitement, but it's actually nothing. It's just that if you eat too much, you'll be fine after having sex. Although that thing...although it's helpful It is effective, but it is always harmful to the body, so it is better for your master to touch it less in the future."

Pan Chen rolled his eyes when he heard that, if they could have intercourse, what doctor would they look for? "Is there any antidote?"

The old doctor shook his head and said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, why take medicine if you can relieve it by venting?"

"Don't worry about it, just prescribe the medicine!"

Pan Mo followed in, exchanged glances with Pan Chen, and sat aside with a fierce look on his face, the tip of the knife in his hand was still dripping blood.

Seeing this, the old doctor nodded quickly: "Yes, I will prescribe the medicine right away! Just put on the Qingxin decoction and it will be relieved."

Pan Chen personally supervised him to prescribe the medicine, and then followed him to grab the medicine and decoct it.

Shen Jia lay curled up on the bed, the most difficult time was over, his whole body was covered with sweat, and the pain sensation in his hands also recovered, but he had no time to pay attention, he hugged the quilt and rubbed gently.

At this time, he only had fantasies, and he didn't know what the purpose of the person who gave the drug was?If Miss Yao was still around, he would think that the other party did this to make things happen for them, but Yao Zhenzhen has already left, so what good does it do him?

"My lord..." Pan Mo stood outside the bed and called softly.

"Hmm..." Shen Jia answered him.

"My subordinate heard from Jiayi that the incense given to you by the prefect Yao contains ingredients to enhance your enjoyment. Do you need your subordinates to take down the prefect Yao?"

Shen Jia paused, and said: "After all, there is no real evidence. The other party is a fourth-rank official with a higher official position than me. Without evidence, it is difficult to get him. You go back to Xiangfu and bring Peng Yin out. He should know something."

"Yes." Pan Mo turned around and went out. Shen Jia's whole body was limp, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand. After the pain in her body, she felt cold, but Pan Chen only wrapped him in a cloak, not even a quilt. Guy, even my bones feel sore from the cold.

After an unknown amount of time, Pan Chen came in with a medicine bowl, stopped outside the tent and said, "My lord, it's time to take the medicine."

"Ah."

Pan Chen lifted the curtain, and his eyes fell on the person on the bed. The cloak he wrapped Shen Jia just now had been lifted off. Driven by desire, she was rosy, especially the two spots on her chest, which were filled with blood, which made Pan Chen burst into blood.

He hurriedly looked away, walked over slowly and sat on the head of the bed, and helped Shen Jia to sit up. At first, because he didn't dare to look at the medicine, he was fed to his nose, and then he had to look at Shen Jia, and waited for Shen Jia to sit up. After drinking the medicine, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Jia lay down after drinking the medicine, and said with difficulty: "Put me a quilt, it's cold!"

Pan Chen said angrily: "It's my subordinates who were negligent." Then he lifted the cover to cover Shen Jia's body, also covering the spring beauty of that body.

"My lord, can I bandage the wound on your hand for you?"

Shen Jia nodded, the tingling pain in his hands was really unbearable, and his hands could not be abandoned if he needed to write.

Pan Chen took out the medicine, and when he held Shen Jia's hand, his mind fluttered for a while, but he was quickly startled by Shen Jia's injury. He thought it was just an ordinary scratch, but when he looked closely, he found that the wound was deep, blood It has stopped, but there are still a lot of fine sand and gravel in the wound.

Pan Chen went to bring a basin of water, and carefully cleaned Shen Jia's wound. Shen Jia frowned in pain, and his eyes fell on Pan Chen, and it was the first time that he discovered that this cold guard had a gentle side.

After the wound was cleaned and bandaged with medicine, Pan Chen withdrew, "Your Excellency, please rest, and your subordinates will stay in the room. If you need something, please call."

"Well, send someone back to talk to Qin Zhangyuan, so that he won't worry."

"Yes."

Shen Jia soon fell asleep, not knowing that the whole city was on alert because the people outside couldn't find him.

Ling Jingyun didn't go to Xiang Mansion tonight. He and Xiang Jie didn't get along. It can be said that Xiang Jie would be demoted to the Daming Mansion as a political envoy or that he provided the emperor with criminal evidence, so he simply didn't bother to blame him.

When he heard the news that Shen Jia had an accident and that she was missing, he didn't think much about it, and directly took the token and directed the Jinyiwei General of the Thousand Households of the Daming Mansion to surround the mansion.

Ling Jingyun, dressed in bright red and wearing a black cloak, strode into the Xiang mansion. The guards along the way did not dare to be violent and retreated one after another.

In the hall, several people in power in the Daming Mansion were present. Ling Jingyun's appearance did not surprise everyone, but Xiang Jie's anger could not be concealed at last.

"What does Deputy Commander Ling mean by coming uninvited? The mansion of my dignified second-rank officer is also something you can surround if you say so?" Xiang Jie paused and sneered: "Forgot that Deputy Commander Ling has always been With such a arrogant temperament, he dared to provoke and come to the door in Chang'an, but now he is in the place, he is lawless!"

Ling Jingyun sat down on a chair beside him, and his confidant brought him a cup of tea. Ling Jingyun drank a few sips slowly, and then said: "This time I came to look for Mr. Shen. I heard that Mr. Shen disappeared in the Xiangfu. Yes, he is the deputy imperial envoy personally appointed by the emperor, and he is also the person escorted by this envoy on this trip, and if something happened to him, this envoy cannot escape the responsibility."

"Deputy Commander Ling is so well-informed. Don't you know Master Shen has already left the mansion? His guards took him away. As for where he went, Tian Da Da Da Da Xiang has no idea. If you don't believe me, you can ask my mansion." The guards above, many people have seen it with their own eyes."

Ling Jingyun was unmoved, he knew that Shen Jia had guards from the emperor and secret guards to protect Shen Jia, the possibility of accidents was not high, but there must have been something difficult, otherwise he would not have disappeared without a trace.

"The envoy will wait here until he finds someone before leaving. The envoy will only feel relieved when he sees Master Shen is safe and sound."

Yao Zhifu acted as a peacemaker and explained: "Master Ling, we are also looking for Mr. Shen. Don't worry, we will have news soon."

Ling Jingyun didn't know what happened here before he came, but Jin Yiwei soon came to tell him that he heard that Zhang Huai's daughter was being plotted against, and that a member of the prefect's yamen fell into the lake and fell into a coma. Something nasty must have happened in this mansion.

Back then, Xiang Jie was rejected by the emperor, part of the reason was the restlessness in the back house, and later when he arrived in the local area, all his wives and concubines disappeared, and the eldest daughter-in-law was in charge of Zhongfu in the mansion, so he calmed down.

But the main reason is not this, but Xiang Jie used to be a member of the third prince. After the third prince was executed, the forces left by him collapsed, and Zhao Zhang began to liquidate them one by one after he ascended the throne.

He also has a secret mission during this trip, which is to investigate whether there is any change among the people left by the several princes back then. It is said that the fourth prince guarding the imperial mausoleum has become restless, and someone sent a secret letter to the fourth prince , saying that he was going to send him a monstrous fortune.

The source of this secret letter could not be found out. Ling Jingyun only found out that it was from the north after searching for a long time, so he took this opportunity to come out to have a look, and Xiang Jie was one of the targets they suspected.

"Master, Peng Jing has woken up." The butler of the Xiangfu came to report.

Xiang Jie stopped looking at Ling Jingyun, but said to Zhang Huai, "Master Zhang, do you want to ask me personally?"

Zhang Huai nodded, "Bring him here!"

Not long after, the limp Peng Yin was carried in. He was wrapped in a thick quilt, trembling slightly, with a pale face, tears and snot flowing down his nose uncontrollably.

Zhifu Yao grasped the handrail tightly, with an inexplicable expression, stared at Peng Yin without saying a word, if Peng Yin confessed to him, then he would not be able to get out of here alive tonight.

He "coughed" and asked in a deep voice, "How is Peng's health? Don't be overwhelmed for a while. The old mother, wife and children at home still rely on you to support them."

Peng Ji moved his head, took a look at Yao Zhifu, and suddenly burst into tears, "Master Zhifu wants to decide for the next official! It was Shen Jia, it was Shen Jia who pushed me into the lake!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned when they heard the words. Although they knew that Shen Jia should play a certain role in this matter, they didn't expect that Shen Jia would be the one who did the harm.

"Hmph!" Ling Jingyun patted the table, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Peng Yin, right? Come on, tell me why Master Shen wants to harm you? Do you have any grudges?" It wasn't that he underestimated this Peng. , what kind of countertop figure is he?Shen Jia would actually harm him?

With snot and tears, Peng Yin told about Shen Jia's harm to him. He said: "Master Shen was drunk, and the official helped him out to sober up. After walking for a long time, he said that he wanted to be respectful, so the official helped him go. But when he entered the backyard, Mr. Shen suddenly vomited, all over the lower official, and then asked the lower official to change his clothes. He went back first, but the lower official saw that he was going in the wrong direction, afraid that he would bump into the female family members in the backyard. So he took off his coat and chased after him, and then...

Then I saw Mr. Shen walking more and more sideways, and he seemed to know where he was going. He walked very fast, and he didn't seem to be really drunk. When he walked to the lake, Xiaguan saw a man in black walking towards him. Said a few words to the side, and then the two walked forward together, the subordinates were not far away, and heard what they were talking about, Miss Zhang, and said tonight, even if Mr. Zhang didn't want to, he could only... only ..."

"Only what?" Zhang Huai asked with a dark face.

Peng Yin wiped away his tears and said weakly: "Master Shen said that after tonight, Master Zhang can only give his daughter to him as a concubine! In this way, he will have an extra help or something. "

Zhang Huai jumped up against the case, rushed forward and grabbed Peng Yin's collar, and asked viciously, "What you said is true?"

Peng Yin hated Shen Jia very much. The doctor said just now that although he was soaked in cold water for too long, although his body is expected to recover, he will be inhumane from now on. He has only one daughter under his knees, and the Peng family is going to be in his hands. Go to extremes!How can you not hate?

"You can swear that everything you say is true, otherwise you will be struck by thunder!" Once such a vicious oath was made, Zhang Huai believed it, and a wave of evil spirit lingered around him, everyone knew , Shen Jia couldn't please.

"Papa papa!" Ling Jingyun applauded, and said with a smile: "You are really eloquent. Mr. Peng is not only good in appearance, but also quite eloquent. How come it's just an experience?"

"What does Deputy Commander Ling mean?" Zhang Huai turned his head and glared at him. Others were afraid of Jin Yiwei, but Zhang Huai was not.

"The envoy's meaning is that Peng's experience seems flawless, but that's because you don't know Shen Jia well, so you believe it. Otherwise, you can ask Qin Zongyuan to see if he believes what he said."

Qin Zhangyuan shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, Shen Jia's son is aboveboard, and he already has a beautiful wife bestowed by the imperial decree. Back then, even the chief assistant wanted to marry his granddaughter to him, so he didn't need to use frame-ups to win any help. "

Ling Jingyun added: "That's right, you don't even look at Shen Jia's face. He was in the magistrate's yamen, and without saying a word, he fell in love with Yao Zhifu's beloved daughter. If he really wants to get a woman, he needs more money." Such a roundabout way to frame her? Besides, how did he, a fifth-rank official from outside, manage to come and go freely in Xiangfu? And how did he buy Tongxiangfu's servants to get Miss Zhang away?"

Peng Yin retorted: "Because he has masters around him, his guards must be strong in martial arts, and they can come and go freely in the Xiangfu. Maybe Mr. Shen has already figured out the terrain of Xiangfu. As for buying servants, as long as he can afford it." How hard is it to buy off one or two money-grubbing villains?"

"Peng Jen seems to be very experienced." Ling Jingyun mocked.

No matter what, from the current point of view, Peng Yin is the victim, and there are not too many loopholes in his words. Many people believed his words. They were not familiar with Shen Jia, and they didn't know what he was like. , Yao Zhifu convicts Shen Jia most straightforwardly, "Hey, my daughter did fall in love with Mr. Shen at first sight, but Mr. Shen dismissed my little girl. Presumably he disliked my official position for not being high enough. In order to make me give up, he let The emperor set a time limit for the little girl, she must be married before the end of the year, the poor daughter I grew up in the palm of my hand had to marry the concubine of the Tongpan family, and I don't know what kind of life I will live in the future."

Zhang Huai really loves his daughter, so he can feel Yao Zhifu's reluctance the most. He said coldly: "Hmph, I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth. I thought the emperor valued him and didn't pay attention to everyone. Could it be that he knew that the matter was revealed?" escaped?"

Xiang Jie glanced at Qi Xiangjun, the commander of the capital on the left. This man is in charge of the military power of the Daming Mansion, but he never interacts with them in private. to dinner.

"What did Lord Qi say?"

The old god Qi Xiangjun sat and drank tea comfortably, and did not participate in the discussion. At this time, he was asked and replied: "This is a matter of the government office, and it has nothing to do with my commander."

Zhang Huai glared at him, "If he wants to escape, how can those soft-footed shrimps in the magistrate's yamen alone be able to catch him, Master Qi also has the duty to help hunt down fugitives!"

"Master Shen is a fugitive? Who made the decision?" Qi Xiangjun asked back. He shrugged and said calmly: "Even if Master Shen is the mastermind in this matter, did he kill someone or violate a good family girl? What are you going to decide for him?" charge?"

That's right, Miss Zhang is intact and has not been violated. Although Peng Yin was injured, he did not die. Shen Jia is at most charged with wounding. How could such a trivial matter involve the use of the army.

Ling Jingyun took another look at Qi Xiangjun. This General Qi also made meritorious service on the battlefield back then, but he retired after his leg was injured. The emperor valued his character and ability, so he arranged him in Daming Mansion, Daming Mansion It is not far from the northern border. If the northern border is breached one day, this is also a line of defense.

This person is also the emperor's confidant, Ling Jingyun quickly saw through this.

It's good to have an alliance, Ling Jingyun crossed his legs and said: "Master Shen is missing now, everything is said by Peng Jing alone, there is no evidence and no physical evidence, I, Jin Yiwei, dare not be so hasty in judging the case. The procurator's ability to solve cases really impresses the envoy."

"Then find them out and confront them face to face!" Zhang Huai said suppressing his anger.
