The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

Shen Jia didn't know that the whole city was looking for him, because it was New Year's Eve, there were no people on the street, they were not seen when they entered the inn, and everyone didn't expect them to go to the inn to stay, so Shen Jia was not found all night.

In the Xiangfu, several adults couldn't stay up all night. When it was midnight, the sound of firecrackers outside was one after another, and everyone dispersed. Peng Yin was left in the Xiangfu because his body was still weak. Ling Jingyun whispered to him before leaving. said a word.

"What did he tell you?" After everyone left, Xiang Jie asked Peng Yin.

Peng Yin lowered his head, feeling uneasy, Ling Jingyun told him that if he dared to plot against Shen Jia, his Peng family would be ready to lose his head.

If someone else said this, he wouldn't be afraid, after all, Zhifu Yao was the mastermind, and he would definitely help him, but he had to take Jin Yiwei's words to heart.

Facing the question from Chief Chief Envoy, Peng Yin replied weakly: "Master Ling told me to be careful, he will not let me go, even my family..." He raised his head, his eyes were terrified, and moved to the Lying on the ground, "Master Chief Political Officer, I beg you to save this official, this official really did not lie, and I am willing to confront Mr. Shen in court!"

"Okay, let's take care of your body first. Whenever you talk, this is the Daming Mansion. I will definitely not let Ling Jingyun do anything wrong. You can live in the Xiang Mansion with peace of mind. I want to see what he can do." attack you!"

Shen Jia didn't sleep well this time, she had a high fever in the middle of the night, and the old doctor was brought in again, and after a toss, decoction and feeding medicine, Shen Jia cried cold and hot again, and didn't fall asleep until dawn. .

Early the next morning, when Pan Mo went back to get Shen Jia's clothes, he realized that everyone was looking for Shen Jia last night. The person he sent only notified an attendant of Qin Zhangyuan, who hadn't seen Qin Zhang all night. The court did not tell him where Shen Jia was.

Not long after Qin Zhangyuan fell asleep, when he heard that Shen Jia's guards had returned, he put on his coat and asked Qin Tong to call Pan Mo in to talk.

"Where did Master Shen go last night?" Qin Zhangyuan asked anxiously.

Pan Mo lowered his head and replied: "Your Excellency drank too much last night, and he was so drunk that we took him away and put him in an inn not far from Xiangfu. At night, Your Excellency vomited and had a fever, and nothing happened all night." Sleep, I just fell asleep now." Pan Mo told someone to send the news last night, and the Qin Zhangyuan called the person to ask, and if it was as Pan Mo said, he knew that this was an oolong up.

He told Pan Mo what happened to the Xiangfu last night, and condemned: "It's nothing if you want to take Mr. Shen away first, but you should also tell the master. Now they all agree that Mr. Shen is absconding in fear of crime, and the whole city is searching for him Woolen cloth."

Pan Mo was well aware of Qin Zhangyuan's temperament, he and Shen Jia were on the same side and could be trusted, so he told about Peng Yin's interest, "Because the Xiangfu didn't let us wait for the guards to enter, the best one was appointed. I quietly followed my lord, and then I saw Peng Yin trying to misbehave with my lord. He was indeed kicked into the lake by my people. If my lord wasn't so drunk, we wished we could tear that thief up. File a complaint!"

Qin Zhangyuan didn't expect the truth to be like this. Of course he believed the words of Shen Jia's guards. Calculating the Zhang family is even more nonsense, he heard that the young lady of the Zhang family lacks in looks and intelligence, Shen Jia really wants to help, there are many people to choose from in Chang'an.

"They will definitely go to trial today. Mr. Zhang loves his daughters like his own life. I'm afraid he won't easily believe your words. You must be prepared to prevent Shen Jia from suffering."

"What your lord said is, I'll go back and tell my lord, it's just that he's still ill and won't go to Xiangfu today."

Qin Zhangyuan stared at Pan Mo carefully. This guard was neither humble nor overbearing to everyone. He didn't even pay attention to the chief envoy. He didn't know that Shen Jia had never found him. Jia should not be bullied.

Shen Jia's guards were soon discovered when they came in and out of the inn, and everyone discovered that Shen Jia did not hide, but lived in an inn not far from Xiangfu. look.

Xiang Jie is getting old, he didn't sleep well after the trouble last night, and he got up late the next day. When he got up together, he was told that Master Shen had found him, and that Master Shen couldn't get out of bed because of illness. The guard asked to postpone the matter.

Xiang Jie came out and asked, "Take a doctor to see if he is really seriously ill. Also, has the news passed to Mr. Zhang and the others?"

The servants of Xiangfu replied: "Master, the doctor who treated Mr. Shen is the most respected and respected Doctor Yu in Daming Mansion. His words should be trustworthy. All the prefectures should have got the news by now. When the servant came back, he heard that Mr. Zhang had passed away." Take someone to the inn."

Xiang Jie rubbed his temples with a headache. Zhang Huai cared too much about that silly daughter. It might not be easy to settle this matter. If something happened to Shen Jia, the emperor might think that officials from their Daming Mansion deliberately framed the court. Imperial envoy, that would be a big trouble.

"Let's go and have a look together." At least until the case is clear, Xiang Jie can't let Zhang Huai hurt Shen Jia.

In Yusheng Inn, the servants of the Zhang family surrounded the entire inn with wooden sticks. Opposite them, there were three hundred imperial guards, all dressed in armor and holding long spears, they were much more imposing than the servants.

During the Chinese New Year, many businessmen lived in the inn. Seeing such a scene, they didn’t even dare to show their heads. They all huddled in their rooms and dared not come out. The owner of the inn was too scared to speak, let alone stop them. .

Zhang Huai stood at the door wearing an official uniform, confronting Li Dechang, the deputy commander of the imperial guards.

"I didn't expect Vice Commander Li to lead the team out. This matter has nothing to do with official business, but a private matter of my family. Are you sure Vice Commander Li wants to stop me?"

Li Dechang's attitude was quite cooperative, and he only said: "Master Zhang is of course allowed to go in, but your servants are not allowed to enter. The emperor ordered me to guard the safety of the imperial envoys. We must not put Master Shen in danger."

"Okay, I'll go in and see him myself, but if he commits a crime, even if you bring it to the emperor, he will be punished as he should!" Zhang Huai entered the inn aggressively, and when he went up to the second floor, he could see the corridor Two mighty guards stood outside the door of the room at the end.

There are imperial guards outside and expert guards inside, this Shen Jia is really not easy to mess with.

"Is Shen Jia here?" He walked to the door and asked.

One of the guards replied with a stern face: "Master Shen lives here, but he is not in good health and should not see guests."

"What a big deal! You go and pass it on, and say that the inspector of the Daming Mansion has come, and ask him if he has seen it. There is a case where he is a suspect. If you don't want to say it here, you can go to the official's yamen and talk about it." !"

The guard glanced at him indifferently, bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency has just fallen asleep, he is still ill and should not work hard, please Master Zhang later."

Zhang Huai laughed back in anger, this Shen Jia was too ostentatious, he dared to take Joe at this time, did he really think that he was the Emperor's favorite?

"Ahem, who's here?" Shen Jia's voice suddenly came from inside the room.

The guard who was very rude to Zhang Huai just now replied in a gentle tone: "Return to your lord, the procurator Zhang lord has come, saying that there is a case where you are a suspect and you want to be questioned."

"Ahem... please come in Master Zhang." Shen Jia was woken up by the voice outside the door. What happened to Xiangfu last night was not clear in a few words. He didn't even know whether Peng Yin was still alive. He would check. It's no surprise to him.

Zhang Huai pushed the door open and saw Shen Jia lifted the bed curtain and sat up with a pale face. There was a black-faced guard standing in the room, who tucked the quilt for him, and then stood vigilantly by the bed, fearing that he would It's like eating Shen Jia.

No wonder she told the guards of the mansion last night that Shen Jia was forcibly taken away. With these guards around, Shen Jia really has nothing to fear!

"Bring a chair to Mr. Zhang." Shen Jia leaned against the head of the bed, and said apologetically, "Mr. Zhang, forgive me. I'm not feeling well and can't get up to salute."

Zhang Huai snorted coldly, "It's a trivial matter, what's wrong with Lord Shen? Didn't you feel fine last night?"

Shen Jia coughed a few times, and replied weakly: "Maybe because I drank too much wine last night and blew the cold wind. When I came out, I developed a high fever, and the fever subsided this morning. Please miss me."

Zhang Huai asked again: "I remember, it was Peng Jen who took you out last night. Do you know what happened to Peng Jen last night?"

Mentioning Peng Yin, Shen Jia's face changed, his brows were frowned, and his eyes showed disgust, "Then Peng Yin is really not a thing, I have never dealt with him before, I don't know that he is a villain through and through, he Taking advantage of Xiaguan's drunkenness, unexpectedly... unexpectedly... Hey, Xiaguan was too embarrassed to speak, I was already confused at that time, and I didn't know what happened to him."

The black-faced guard beside Shen Jia interjected: "My lord, this subordinate saw that he had mischievous intentions towards you, so he taught him a lesson."

"Ah? How did you teach me a lesson?" Shen Jia asked suspiciously.

"The subordinate kicked him into the lake."

"It's so cold..." Shen Jia glanced at Zhang Huai, and said apologetically, "I don't know what happened to Peng? The guards in my house are reckless, and they are too harsh."

"But that's not what Peng experienced said." Zhang Huai couldn't tell who was lying for a while, and he was about to tell Shen Jia the whole story when he heard Master Xiang's voice.

"Master Shen, can you tell me, have you seen Lord Zhang's daughter in the backyard last night?"

Shen Jia was confused, her eyes were clear, "Miss Zhang? I have never seen her before, and I don't even know what she looks like."

"Really?" Xiang Jie didn't have a good face towards Shen Jia. Although Zhang Huai also had a dark face, he had his own standards of formality and would not do anything to Shen Jia before he was convicted. Xiang Jie was not so upright, " Mr. Shen, come with us, this inn is not a place for trial."

Shen Jia blinked, and asked inexplicably: "What crime did Shen commit to go to court? If Peng Yin is dead, then the subordinate is indeed guilty, but isn't he still alive?"

He guessed that the person he was looking for in the backyard last night should be Ms. Zhang, and that Ms. Zhang was probably the one Peng Yin wanted to plot against him, but what was his purpose?Is Yao Qiran the mastermind?What is his purpose?

Shen Jia also had some doubts, he was not afraid of going to court to confront Peng Yin, but he had been tossing all night last night, and now his whole body was so weak that he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Pan Chen stopped in front of Shen Jia's bed, and said with a foul face: "It's okay for the two adults to investigate the case, but my adult is not in good health and should not get out of bed. You can either ask questions here, or wait until my adult is in better health. .”

"Presumptuous, this officer is investigating the case, how can you, a little guard, have the right to speak?"

"My lord, what he said is what Shen meant. Shen is not talented. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, he is under the emperor's order. It is impossible for the two adults to question him without any evidence." Shen Jia He doesn't cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble. He is the victim. He wants Peng Yin to compromise before he gets into trouble. It's not that easy.

Speaking of this matter, it has little to do with Xiang Jie. He glanced at Zhang Huai and asked, "What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Seeing Shen Jia's weak face, Zhang Huai really didn't seem to be pretending, and what Ling Jingyun said was right, Shen Jia has a good appearance, what kind of woman does he want based on his appearance?Will beat around the bush to seduce his daughter?

Zhang Huai dotes on his daughter but he is not a fool. There is definitely an inside story about this matter. Shen Jia's words are more trustworthy, but if it is not him, who is plotting against his daughter?

"Since Mr. Shen is not feeling well, let's review the case in three days. I hope Mr. Shen can give me a satisfactory answer by then."

Shen Jia thanked him, and assured him: "Master Zhang, don't worry, this matter will definitely come to light." After saying these words, he was obviously out of spirits, his eyelids drooped, and Pan Chen took his own initiative to see the guests out for him.

When the second floor was quiet again, Pan Chen came in and said, "My lord, a group of servants from the inn have come, and all the servants of the Zhang family have been evacuated, probably to guard you."

"The magistrate's yamen?"

"Yes."

"Then you all should be careful, lest the prefect Yao do something bad."

Pan Chen said with a sullen face, "He dares! My subordinates will carefully investigate what happened last night. If the prefect Yao really framed you, my subordinates will make him pay the price!"

"Ahem, let's go check it out first, and we'll talk about it later." Shen Jia lay down under the quilt, and he didn't have the energy to think about what to do with Yao Qiran, anyway, let's take care of his health first.

Ling Jingyun and Qin Zhangyuan also came to visit Shen Jia at noon, seeing that he was sleeping soundly, they didn't bother him.

Ling Jingyun asked about Pan Chen and Pan Mo's situation in private, and smiled after knowing the whole story, "Yao Qiran did it, is he crazy?"

Since there was a suspect, Ling Jingyun didn't let Pan Chen and the others investigate, but let Jin Yiwei take over, "You just guard Mr. Shen carefully, and I will investigate this matter to the bottom."

At the same time, a letter was sent from Daming Mansion to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

Perhaps Zhao Zhang would never have imagined that when he sent Shen Jia on a business trip, he would be injured and sick again and again. If he had known that things were not going well, he would definitely not have let him go.

Jin Yiwei has always been proficient in investigating cases, not to mention that the most important evidence in this case is also in Ling Jingyun's hands. The sachet has been checked by several doctors and found that it does contain musk and other ingredients that can enhance the fun. You may not feel it when you smell it normally. Obviously, but after drinking, those things will greatly increase the excitement of the human body, and it is impossible to detoxify without venting.

Ling Jingyun learned that Shen Jia's poison was cured by a bowl of medicine last night, if he couldn't bear it and found a man or a woman, then none of them who were with him would be healed.

The prefect Yao originally wanted Peng Yin to take the sachet back to destroy the corpse, but it was a pity that Peng Yin not only failed to accomplish the task, but almost lost his own life. Fortunately, he knew how to do it, and he knew how to pour dirty water on Shen Jia , but Yao Zhifu also knew that this was not a seamless plan, and it was only a matter of time before it was found out.

He walked back and forth anxiously in the study, discussing countermeasures with the master, "With Jin Yiwei here, there is no case they can't solve, and Zhang Huai is not easy to fool, when he sees Shen Jia, he will naturally go down." check."

"Don't worry, my lord. Although you sent someone to send that sachet, it was bought from outside and you didn't handle it. Besides, many rich men would have bought some sachets for fun. The evidence of your murder is Peng Yina, if he confesses to you, it is really doomed."

Yao Zhifu glanced at him and understood what he meant, "But he is in Xiangfu, how can we do it?"

The master came over and said: "He is a small official of the government office, we should visit him, and we don't need to do it ourselves, the Peng family has a lot of people, what if his family is used to threaten him and let him commit suicide?"

"Is he willing?"

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing." The master knows that a villain like Peng Yin cherishes his life the most, but if he doesn't die, the whole family will die?How would he choose?

The prefect Yao also knew that there was no better way, the servants of the Xiang family were no longer easy to bribe, and since Peng Yin died, the matter of bribery was over, "Let's do it then, he fell into the water, doctor It is also said that his body is very weak, and he will not even be able to be a man in the future, you tell him, I will definitely let Shen Jia be buried with him!"

The master responded and went out to do some business.

Ever since Peng Yin knew he was physically disabled, he was a little crazy. He didn't dare to act presumptuously in Xiangfu, but the dark side in his heart was infinitely magnified, and he hated Shen Jia so much that he even thought about using this incident to ask Yao Zhifu what he wanted. All right, otherwise his sacrifice would be too great.

"Master, you came just in time." Peng Yin saw the master of the prefect Yao walk in, and hurriedly sat up. He hadn't confessed to the prefect Yao until now, so he felt a little uneasy.

The master was followed by Peng Yin's wife, holding a bundle in her hand, shyly walked in, saw Peng Yin crying and rushed over: "Husband..."

The master stood at the door and explained: "I was afraid that your family would be worried, so I notified your parents, wife and children, and asked your wife to bring you some daily clothes."

"Thank you, master." It is undeniable that seeing his family members at this time made Peng Yin feel much more at ease. He touched his wife's face and thought: What a pity, this flowery wife will be widowed in the future.

Peng Yin still has a lot of things to discuss with his master, and after seeing his wife, he let her go back first, Xiangfu has no worries about food and clothing, and there is a good doctor, maybe his health can be cured.

He was full of hope, when he heard the master say: "Peng Yin, you can be regarded as my single-handedly promoted you, you are smart and intelligent, and in time you will definitely be reused by adults."

Peng Yin said obediently: "I would also like to thank Master for taking care of me."

"Well, you are good and I am good, so I have been recommending you to the adults. Maybe it is because you are so good at handling things that the adults will entrust this matter to you this time. I have been worried in my heart."

"Master, it's because I'm not good at handling things, and I haven't fulfilled my lord's entrustment."

"It's too late to say these things now. You had a good idea last night and basically got the matter over. But when Shen Jia appeared, his words were untenable. Although the adults may not believe him, they must investigate. Yes, with Jin Yiwei Ling Jingyun here, it's not difficult to find out what you did."

"Master... what... what should I do? Your lord must save me!" Peng Yin thought again and again, the reason why he and Shen Jia became enemies was because of Yao Zhifu?He has suffered so much, and he can't get nothing.

The master looked at him and said in a low voice: "Peng Yin, my lord said that you only have one daughter, why don't you adopt a son from your cousin's house, and after a few years of teaching, you will be able to do the job. Don't worry, my lord and I I will take care of your family, and I will definitely let your daughter marry a good family. We will take good care of your parents, wife and children, so you can rest assured."

Peng Yin stared at him blankly, at first he didn't understand the meaning, but when he saw Master holding a pill in his cell phone, his face turned pale with fright, "Master...you...you are trying to kill me, hehe... …Hahaha……"

The master carefully looked outside, seeing no one approaching, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I want to? But can you really stand up to Jin Yiwei's interrogation methods? I'm afraid you don't know Ling Jingyun's illustrious reputation, he must To protect Shen Jia, whether you are the mastermind or not, he will make you confess."

No one is not afraid of death, Peng Yin shook his head and said, "No, no, with Master Zhang Xiang and the others around, Jin Yiwei can't beat him to death."

"You are so naive, Jin Yiwei is very skilled, there are a hundred ways to make you look the same, you can't stand it."

Peng Yin stared at him viciously and said: "Then I will confess to the mastermind. After all, I am only an accomplice in this matter. If I want to confess on my own initiative, they will not kill me."

The master sighed, and took out a silver comb from his sleeve, "If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your parents, wife and children. You know the magistrate, he has clear grievances, it depends on how you choose."

Peng Yin stared at the silver comb and shed tears. It was a token of love he gave to his wife, how could he not recognize it?In this way, he must die, otherwise he would have to implicate his family.

He closed his eyes and lay powerlessly on the bed. He didn't even know when the master left. When he turned his head, he saw a pill on the side of the pillow, which looked like an ordinary sugar pill, but he knew that once Entrance.I really want to see Hades.

After a hearty meal in the evening, Peng Yin asked his servants, only to learn that Shen Jia had been found, but he did not come to Xiangfu because of physical problems. There were three hundred imperial guards guarding him, and several adults had nothing to do with him.

When he heard that Jin Yiwei came to him for questioning, Peng Yin knew that the time had come, and he really couldn't stand Jin Yiwei's torture, so he might as well take advantage of the magistrate's wishes and die, which would save him suffering and save his family. life.

This was a multiple-choice question that didn't require much choice. Peng Yin took the pill and swallowed it without any further hesitation.
