The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"Peng Yin is dead?" Shen Jia was not surprised to hear the news. Jin Yiwei had already found out the source of the sachet, which was a Persian businessman, and he gave proof that the sachet was absolutely unharmed when it left his hands. Contains some messy medicinal materials, although he also has such things, but the medicinal properties are not so strong, this kind of expensive spices are usually only bought by wealthy people, if it is really harmful to the body, he would have been chopped up by the people's congress.

After Ling Jingyun checked the sachet, he went to question Peng Yin, who was supposed to be recuperating in the house, but he had passed away. Several doctors took turns to see him and said that it was because of the aggravation of his illness.

"On the surface, Peng Yin's death can only be regarded as a serious injury, and now your suspicion is even more unclear. It's good that no one died before, but a court official died. How would Mr. Shen explain it?"

"Are those doctors trustworthy?"

"The common conclusions of the three doctors, one of which was sent by the Zhang family, will not lie."

"Did you let Wu Zuo check it?"

Ling Jingyun shook his head: "Generally speaking, people must believe the doctor's words more, and Peng Yin's body was taken away by the Peng family. His wife, children, and parents are arguing to go to the yamen to beat the drums and complain about grievances. During the first month, everyone is very idle. The news that you killed Peng Yin has spread all over the city."

Shen Jia lowered her head and thought for a while, now that there is no proof, unless more favorable evidence is found, it is really difficult to clear up the suspicion.

Only a few people know about his aphrodisiac, and it's useless to talk about it. Even the thing he said before that Peng Yin was interested in him has become illusory with his death. Maybe the family of the deceased will think that he went to Dirty water was poured on the dead.

Ling Jingyun sat on a chair not far from Shen Jia, and looked at Shen Jia who was leaning against the head of the bed. His spirit was much better than when he came last time, but he was still weak and pale. The slender and fair neck made him look helpless and pitiful.

He couldn't help but said: "I asked, and there are only a few people who have met Peng Yin today, except for Xiangfu's servants, who are the master of Yao Zhifu and Peng Yin's wife. It will kill, but who knows."

"If it was really Yao Zhifu's plan, then the master's intentions are obvious. Are they confident that we will investigate?" Shen Jia killed a life without even daring to say it. The real murderer behind the scenes is actually cruel enough.

Ling Jingyun has killed countless people, and he doesn't care about the life and death of a small experience. He said: "Peng Yin must have died willingly, otherwise there will be no traces left. If you want to say that Yao Zhifu sent someone to kill, there is no way." Evidence."

"That night, Peng Yin must have bribed some of Xiang's servants, otherwise it would be impossible to get Miss Zhang away. Is there a way to find out about this?"

"I don't agree with Xiang Jie. He won't let the Jin Yiwei conduct extensive investigations in Xiang's mansion. Zhang Huai will definitely do the same, but as long as Xiang Jie is not stupid, he will know that the Xiang family cannot be involved in this matter. It is likely that nothing will be found out. of."

It was the first time in Shen Jia's two lives that he was in such a predicament. It was probably too smooth before, and God couldn't understand how he was living too smoothly, so he always wanted to give him some hardships.

Ling Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea slowly and reminded him: "Actually, you don't need to worry at all. Even if you really can't find any evidence, you didn't kill Peng Yin, but the guards around you. Just hand him over to the government." .”

Shen Jia rolled his eyes at him, "They are my people, and they try their best to protect me, but I can't even protect them, how can I convince others in the future?"

Ling Jingyun took another look at Shen Jia, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He felt that this young No. [-] scholar was quite responsible. In a few decades, he would probably be that kind of pedantic and upright old man again. He didn't like this kind of person the most.

He got up and said: "Then I have nothing to do, Mr. Shen should think about how to solve it. If it doesn't work, let the emperor solve it."

Shen Jia thanked him, no matter what, Jin Yiwei worked hard to help him, and he also specifically told Pan Mo to give some money to those Jin Yiwei who were on errands, which was a bit of overtime pay.

When Ling Jingyun left, Pan Chen, Pan Mo and Jia Yi stood side by side in front of Shen Jia, and said at the same time: "My lord, let me confess my crime!"

Shen Jia looked at them amusedly, "That's all you guys are capable of? Aren't you usually pretty?"

Jiayi said: "I kicked him out. According to the criminal law, he deserved what he deserved at the time, and he didn't die on the spot. At most, he was sentenced to exile. Don't worry, the subordinate can come back with a different identity."

"You are capable, and you know the criminal law. It's a shame to be a little guard by my side, but things haven't reached the worst yet, so don't talk easily." He looked at the three people in front of him and smiled. , "Don't be so serious, just solve the problem when you encounter it. They all know that they want to kill people to silence them, and we can't sit still."

The three of them were shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What is your plan?"

"Ayi, go and keep an eye on Yao Qiran. Don't miss his every move. It's best to find out some secrets of Yao's family. I wasn't sure before, but I don't think so for what he's done these days. He will be a good official." Shen Jia had always had an intuition before that the accounts of the Daming Mansion were too perfect, and things that were too perfect would appear fake.

"Pan Chen, Pan Mo, you stay by my side, let other people check the staff around Yao Qiran, especially the master, and find evidence as long as they have committed crimes."

"Your subordinates obey!" The three of them went to work separately. Shen Jia sat on the bed alone, her body was still weak. She drank bowl after bowl of medicine for the past two days, and lost all appetite. Go down, otherwise it is still a question of whether I can get out of bed tomorrow.

"My lord, the matter has been settled, and the Peng family has been persuaded. Tomorrow they will bring their relatives and friends to the Yamen to beat drums and complain." The master thought of Mrs. Peng's fiery body last night, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. There are also windfalls.

Yao Zhifu nodded calmly: "Understood, now that there is no proof of death, let the Peng family make things worse. The imperial envoy from the imperial court killed the officials of my Daming Mansion. How can such a person be worthy of the emperor's inspection? After the case is settled, he will Submit the case files to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple will decide."

"Then congratulate your lord first, Shen Jia can't escape."

"Hmph, ignorant boy, since he dares to do it, let him know what will happen if he can't do it."

"Over there at Qin Zhang Yuan..."

"Old Qin is an upright person, but he is also a useless nerd. He has no evidence to reverse the case for Shen Jia. Instead, Jin Yiwei should pay more attention. Ling Jingyun should not be underestimated."

"Don't worry, I'll let them pay attention."

In the dead of night, Zhifu Yao went back to his room alone. Most of the maids and women in the backyard had gone back to Chang'an with their wives and children, leaving only a few maids.

Two little girls with double buns waited for him to change clothes and take a bath. Yao Zhifu was a little interested, but none of the aunts and aunts stayed in the house, and he couldn't speak to the rough little girls, so he was a little disappointed.

After returning to his room after taking a bath, his servant asked, "Master, do you want some supper?"

Prefect Yao hasn't been able to eat properly these days, so he was really hungry at this time, so he said, "Let the kitchen cook a bowl of noodle soup."

After about a stick of incense, a servant girl came in with food, set the table and chopsticks for him, Fushen said: "Master, it's time to eat."

Yao Zhifu was first attracted by the crisp voice, looked up, and saw a slender maidservant dressed in coarse cloth standing in front of her, she lowered her head and couldn't see her facial features clearly, but that exquisite figure looked like a maid who had not yet grown up. The little girl was very different.

"Raise your head." Prefect Yao ordered.

The maid raised her head timidly, revealing a beautiful little face without makeup, her eyes were extraordinarily bright and clear, her lips were small, she was a rare beauty.

"What's your name? Where do you work?"

The servant girl lowered her head again, revealing a section of her pink neck, and replied softly: "Master, my servant, Ziyan, is working in the kitchen. Aunt Wang, who usually comes to deliver meals, has gone to rest, so this servant is here."

"Ziyan... What a good name, why haven't I seen you before? How old are you?" The magistrate Yao knows his wife's temperament, and the maids who serve close to her on weekdays are not good-looking. She saw that it was probably another shot.

"The maidservant is Cui Guanshi's niece, and she has not been here for long, this year...[-]." Ziyan seemed a little embarrassed, she blushed after answering a few questions, and lowered her head lower and lower.

Looking at the beauty under the lamp is three points more beautiful, not to mention that Yao Zhifu has been empty for many days, holding Ziyan's hands and touching them, not surprisingly, he touched the calluses on his hands.

Ziyan was startled, she withdrew her hand and knelt down, and said in fear and trepidation: "Old...Master, slaves are vulgar, they are not worthy to serve you!"

Yao Zhifu raised his eyebrows. He was nearly forty years old and well maintained. Although he was not a handsome and handsome uncle, he had good features and a strong figure. I don't know how many maids around him wanted to climb on the bed.

Yao Zhifu didn't wait for her to refuse, and dragged her into the inner room. After a night of romance, he actually felt that his energy was much better than before. Moreover, this seemingly poor maid was full of soft flesh, and he wanted to talk on the bed. Any woman in the world fascinates him.

The next day, the prefect Yao had someone tidy up the room next door for Ziyan to live in, and asked her servants to call her Aunt Yan, and stuffed several boxes of silk, satin, gold, silver and jewels.

When the servants heard the news, they could only sigh: "What a blessing!"

It was a gloomy day, and it was snowing heavily around noon. Suddenly, there was the sound of drums outside the magistrate's yamen.

Not long after, members of the Peng family came in carrying a coffin. They were all dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, crying loudly, and finally explained the matter clearly. It turned out that they were going to sue Shen Jia, a doctor in the household department, for murdering their family's Peng Yin. .

Everyone is familiar with Peng Yin and has heard about his murder, but if it is said that Langzhong Shen killed him, everyone still doesn't believe it. He is a household doctor with a bright future, so why do you want to kill Peng Yin?

But every word the Peng family said was bloody, and they even said that Shen Jia was plotting against Miss Zhang's family. It was only by chance that Peng Yin learned of his plot and tried his best to stop him, so he was thrown into the icy lake , And indirectly saved Miss Zhang's family.

According to the Peng family, Peng Yin was a brave, kind and upright person. His death was really unjust!

"Master Qingtian, you must make the decision for my family, Peng Yin!..." Peng's mother kowtowed nine times, her forehead was already bleeding, and she looked heartbroken.

How many people in this class are sincere and how many are fake, others can't tell, but Mother Peng's words and actions are indeed very sympathetic, and many people who have never met Shen Jia scolded one after another.

The prefect Yao looked at the scene with satisfaction, and said helplessly, "You shouldn't be so reckless. The chief political envoy and the procuratorate of this case have already known about it, and will investigate it carefully. Give Peng experience a justice, you guys It’s better to go home first and let you know when the case is over.”

"No, my lord! My Peng Yin is just a minor experience, with no power or power. How can I get the court officials to plead guilty? Although the lords are well-known, but... the old lady must watch this case with her own eyes. That’s fine! Otherwise, I’ll kill myself at the gate of the magistrate’s yamen, and let the people of Daming Mansion see how your lord protects each other!”

"Crack! Presumptuous!" Yao Zhifu slapped the gavel and angrily said: "Is there any precedent for this officer to cover up injustice when investigating a case? If so, then this officer will accept this case and give it a good trial!"

Prefect Yao was about to send someone to invite Shen Jia, when he heard a voice from outside the lobby: "Master Shen is here!"

As soon as they heard that the defendant had arrived, the people turned their heads one after another, and then saw heavy snow falling, a soft sedan stopped at the gate of the Yamen, a guard in soft armor opened the curtain, and helped one person out.

Shen Jia's legs were still a little soft, and he walked out holding Pan Mo's hand. He looked up at the plaque at the gate of the yamen and the people gathered here. He lifted his hood, bowed to the people around him, and said loudly: "I heard that someone here sued Shen for murder, and Shen came to defend himself. Please be a witness!"

He is so outstanding, his thin frame looks weak even wearing a cloak, and his snow-white face is whiter than the snow on the road. Will such a delicate young master kill someone?

The people voluntarily moved out of the way, muttering, "Is this the doctor? Too young? Are you 20 years old?"

"Is he the only one who can kill Peng Yin? Although Peng Yin is young, his body is not weak, and he is no problem riding a horse and archery."

"Perhaps he ordered his men to do it?"

Shen Jia walked into the court calmly, he was an imperial order official, he didn't need to kneel down when he saw the magistrate Yao, he just made a bow, and then walked towards the coffin in the center of the hall.

"You... what are you going to do?" The Peng family guarded the coffin and looked at him vigilantly.

Before the coffin was closed, Shen Jia saw Peng Yin's body. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and he looked as if he was asleep. Obviously several doctors had said before that his injuries could be cured by resting properly, but He died within a day, without warning.

A smile flashed in Yao Zhifu's eyes, and he said politely to him: "Master Shen, do you know the ins and outs of this matter?"

"I heard something."

"That's good. To make a long story short, Master Shen has evidence to prove himself?"

Shen Jia looked at him, smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency, there is no hurry, let's wait for a while."

"What are you waiting for?" Seeing Shen Jia's calm appearance, Yao Zhifu was a little displeased, and he was still putting on makeup when his death was imminent. Shen Jia was really difficult to deal with.

"Since this incident happened in the residence of the chief minister, and it is related to Miss Zhang's family, it is not a violation of the rules for me to send someone to invite the two adults to try the case together." In charge of the internal affairs of a mansion, imperial envoys committed a murder in Daming Mansion, they do have the right to intervene.

The master gave Mrs. Peng a wink, and the latter suddenly burst into tears, and shouted loudly: "My husband, you died so miserable! ... How will we live after leaving us orphans and widows... "

Peng's mother immediately picked up, crying: "My lord, my surname is Qingtian Dalord, and my second son usually praises you a lot, but... then who knows if the chief minister or the inspector will favor the murderer? Officials protect each other , we ordinary people can't beat the officials..."

Zhang Huai and Xiang Jie walked in one after another. The former walked up to Mother Peng and looked down at her coldly, "You said that I would cover criminals? How long have you lived in Daming Mansion? Do you know my name? "

Someone in the crowd recognized him and exclaimed: "It's Zhang Tixing. The cases he handles are always carefully reviewed. Last year, didn't the master of the Liu family spend money to get involved with his son who committed crimes? Mr. Zhang hit twenty boards and threw them out, so Young Master Liu was sent to the frontier."

"Master Zhang, I also know that my nephew was framed back then, thanks to Master Zhang's impartial handling..."

No one can slander Zhang Huai's reputation, and the Peng family knows this too.

Xiang Jie walked to the main seat and sat down, folded his hands and said calmly: "Peng experienced an accident in the Xiangfu, no matter what, I will investigate the case, and we will know if it is a ghost or a human, let's start. "

Yao Zhifu and Master Zhang sat on the left and right respectively, Shen Jia stood in the lobby, Pan Chen moved a chair for him, Shen Jia sat down without hesitation, and the three officials in the hall said: "My lords forgive me, The lower official is not feeling well, please allow the lower official to sit and answer."

Prefect Yao was about to refuse when he heard Qin Zhangyuan walk in with his head held high at the door, "I am Shen Langzhong Shangfeng. I will supervise this case for the emperor. Afterwards, I will report the details of the case to the emperor." He walked to Shen Jia's side, looked at his pale face, and sighed: "Master Shen may be the victim in this case, let him sit down and answer."

The Peng family naturally refused, but there are so many high-ranking officials in this hall, they don't have a place to speak.

Yao Zhifu patted the gavel, and asked: "Shen Jia, you recruited it truthfully. On the night of Xiangfu's banquet, did you ever murder Peng Yin?"

Shen Jia said calmly: "Master, please allow me to explain this matter from beginning to end, right and wrong, just argue slowly."

Mrs. Peng cried and retorted: "My husband is dead, what have you done, God knows what you know and I don't know, how can you tell?"

"Of course we have to rely on witnesses and evidence. Madam Peng, don't be in a hurry. There will still be opportunities to cry later." Shen Jia glanced at her inexplicably, and immediately told her everything about that night, including having a drink on the way. The water that Peng Yin fed.

He didn't mention the sachet, and it was obvious that talking about it was to talk about Yao Zhifu, which would not help him get rid of the crime. He only said that the glass of water that Peng Yin fed him was mixed with some medicine, and then he vomited on purpose. Unexpectedly, Peng Yin pursued him closely, and even tried to attack him from behind, but was kicked away by his guards. They were standing by the lake at that time, and this kick directly hit him. Kicked people into the lake.

At that time, he was already unconscious, and the guards didn't bother to go to the lake to find people, so they took him away. As for Miss Zhang's matter, he was completely unaware of it.

"Lie! You mean my husband...he... how could it be possible? My husband is a gentleman, how could he attack a man?" Mrs. Peng retorted.

Shen Jia looked at her sideways, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, and he asked: "Mrs. Peng, there is a god standing three feet above your head, can you swear that you will answer truthfully everything I ask you next?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"How long has Peng Yin been married to you?"

"Six years." This is something that many people know.

"How is your husband and wife life? I mean the intercourse."

There was laughter at the door, and many men stared at Mrs. Peng. Mrs. Peng was average in height, but she had a very good figure, with a bulging front and back. This kind of question is undoubtedly extremely insulting.

Yao Zhifu immediately scolded: "Master Shen, you are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, how can you ask such an indecent question?"

"This question is very important." Shen Jia said: "Madam Peng, please answer, or ask another way, is Experience Peng warm to you on weekdays? How many times do you have intercourse a month?"

Mrs. Peng covered her face and dared not answer, how could she say such a thing?

"Why don't I take a guess? I think Peng Yin rarely touches you. You have only had a daughter after six years of marriage. That should be the limit of what Peng Yin can do. He must be very irritable recently, because the family People have been urging you to have a son, but how can you have a son without intercourse? Are you right?"

Mrs. Peng was stunned. How did he know?She hadn't had a place for many years, and her husband's family had already had a problem with her, and even wanted to give her husband a concubine, but he refused. Outsiders said that they were a loving couple, but she knew how to tell outsiders that Peng Yin didn't touch her at all.

"You're talking nonsense!" Peng's mother retorted excitedly: "My son treats his wife very well, and everyone in the neighborhood knows this."

"The so-called goodness may be just an illusion. I think Mrs. Peng should also have a maid who is close by her side, so you can find out if you ask."

Mrs. Peng only felt that her face was shameless, how could she dare to be confronted in court, and she said loudly: "Don't ask...I...I said, my husband is all about his career. Normal, our daughter is the proof."

Shen Jia also said: "I didn't say that he was physically abnormal, he just had an abnormal sexual orientation. In other words, Peng Yin is very masculine, but I have a passable face. Peng Yin wanted to take advantage of my drunkenness. It’s not surprising that you took advantage of me.”

No one refuted this statement, let alone Shen Jia's appearance, even the women present would be ashamed of themselves, if Peng Yin is really masculine, it is normal for Shen Jia to be moved when he sees him.

"No, he's not, you slandered him!"

"Whether it is slander or not, you can find a personal ID to prove it." Shen Jia clapped her hands, and a tall guard outside the door brought a young man in. The young man was very handsome and young, kneeling on the ground shivering trembling.
