White Hedge Dream

Chapter 98 Afterwards

In the morning light, Zhou Jingyun rode on his horse and walked to Yu Street. He couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face and yawned.

Jiang Yun saw it from the side and asked, "Didn't the prince sleep well?"

Zhou Jingyun hummed and explained again~www.readwn.com~ after looking at it for a long time. "

Jiang Yun nodded. It was not surprising. The prince was eager to learn and had often read at night by holding a candle since he was a child.

While the two were talking, the sound of whips and shouts rang out from the street in front of them, and then the dark Xiaowei appeared in their sight.

Zhang chose to travel.

Everyone is already familiar with this scene. Jiang Yun hurriedly protected Zhou Jingyun and moved to the side. Officials in twos and threes on the street also avoided it and watched Zhang Ze coming surrounded by soldiers and guards.

It was a chilly morning in early winter. Zhang Ze was wrapped in a cloak, his face gloomy, and he was galloping away without squinting.

"Who else is going to be unlucky this early in the morning?"

Officials whispered among themselves on the street.

Although the Board of Supervisors acted secretly, what happened in the capital spread quickly.

As soon as Zhou Jingyun entered the household department, a colleague came over and whispered, "Zhu Shan from the Board of Supervisors is dead."

Zhu Shan?

Zhou Jingyun was a little surprised.

He was so vicious and murderous two days ago, why did he suddenly die?

Who killed him?

…

…

"Hanged himself?"

Zhang Ze walked into Zhu Shan's home, which was surrounded by soldiers on three floors and three floors outside. Zhu Shan's personal followers were also guarded in the yard.

Although Zhu Shan is said to be a follower, there are many ungrateful people in the world. No one can guarantee that if we are brothers today, we will draw a knife and stab you to death tomorrow.

This is how Zhu Shan's previous leader was beheaded by Zhu Shan and dedicated to Zhang Ze sincerely.

"Zhongcheng, no one has sneaked in." The first follower who discovered Zhu Shan's body was dragged over. At this time, there was no one in front and behind who was so majestic. His face was ashen and his eyes were frightened. "The three of us were outside the bedroom in the open. Guarding the boss, there are four secret guards outside the house."

Zhang Ze ignored him and walked into the room, where he saw Zhu Shan who was still hanging himself.

"I have been waiting for you to come, Zhongcheng." Wu Zuo said, "Preliminary inspection shows that there are no external injuries on the body of Manager Zhu. It is true that he hanged himself to death."

"There are no signs of outsiders sneaking into the room." Another follower stepped forward and said.

Zhang Ze looked around, then looked at the horrifying face of Zhu Shan who hanged himself. His eyes fell on the two papers scattered on him. He reached out and picked them up, and saw some names, birthplaces, etc.

"This is the person who was found based on Wang Feng's clues. The manager just sorted it out last night and was going to arrest him today." Zhu Shan's personal attendant said in a trembling voice.

Zhang Ze moved his eyes away from the paper, looked at Zhu Shan's body again, and suddenly squinted again: "What is this?"

He bent down and pulled out a purse from the tangled bed tent, hanging it on Zhu Shan's neck.

"Oh, this is it." The attendant said, "Yes."

He hesitated again and glanced at the people standing indoors.

Zhang Ze said coldly: "What?"

"It's a gift from the lady in charge." The attendant lowered his head and whispered.

People in the room looked at each other with teasing eyes.

Zhang Ze also knew Zhu Shan's preferences. When he opened his purse and saw a lock of a woman's hair, he threw it on Zhu Shan's body with a bit of disgust.

You can't tell anything just by looking at it.

"Check it," he said.

The gangsters responded and began to move Zhu Shan's body.

After untying the layers of bed tents, I saw deep marks of strangulation.

Zhu Shan has always been strong and cruel, but he didn't expect that he would be like this to himself.

"Zhongcheng, I suspect that this was done by Chiang Kai-shek's party." A soldier whispered, picking up the two pieces of paper from the corpse, "Zhu Shan died just after I took the list."

Zhang Ze frowned and asked: "How to kill?"

He also looked at the environment from the entrance to the interior. Like him, Zhu Shan knew that there were many enemies, so he was extremely careful and guarded at all levels. It was impossible to sneak in easily.

Moreover, Zhu Shan's kung fu is also very good. It is impossible for an idle person to kill him easily, let alone kill him without any movement.

The scene was as quiet as if Zhu Shan was killed unconsciously in his sleep.

In sleep.

Zhang chose a meal.

"Zhongcheng." The voice of his personal attendant also came hesitantly, "Is it the ghost of Empress Chiang Kai-shek..."

Zhang Ze looked at him with dark and sharp eyes.

Qin Sui hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.

Zhang Ze glanced at the people in the room, their expressions were somewhat strange, which showed that more than one person thought so.

Zhu Shan's death is indeed too strange.

"If it is really the ghost of Empress Chiang Kai-shek." Zhang Ze said, laughing, "Killing Zhu Shan, wouldn't it be overkill and overqualified?" He looked around.

"Empress Chiang really wants to kill someone, why doesn't she come and kill me?"

….

….

Zhou Jingyun was also shocked when he heard the cause of death by hanging. When he heard that it was the ghost of Empress Chiang Kai-shek who committed the murder, he felt ridiculous again.

"That's alright." He said to Zhuang Li, "Just think of it as an evil ghost killing an evil person, which can be regarded as a deterrent to the evil person."

Zhuang Li also smiled: "This is also a good thing."

Zhou Jingyun was reclining on the Luohan bed. Because of Zhu Shan's affairs in the Board of Supervisors, the officials were talking a lot, asking each other to exchange information. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by too much involvement, Zhou Jingyun came home early.

Zhuang Li was arranging pens, inks, paper and inkstones in front of his desk.

Zhou Jingyun took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you been practicing calligraphy recently?"

Zhuang Li smiled: "No, I will write it in two days, and then I will ask the prince for advice."

Zhou Jingyun was amused by her and sat up as he thought of something: "Let's go hiking tomorrow. I heard from Chief He and the others that the plum blossoms on Dongshan Mountain are all in bloom."

Since he wanted her to go out and relax, of course she would not reject his kindness. Zhuang Li nodded: "Okay, I haven't seen the plum blossoms in the mountains of Beijing."

"There must be a lot of people admiring plum blossoms, but Dongshan is huge and plum blossoms are everywhere." Zhou Jingyun said with a smile, "We can just find a place with few people."

Zhuang Li stood up and said, "Let's go talk to mother."

In fact, he can just go and talk about it. After all, that is his mother, so he can deal with it.

Now she has started to go with him to say hello, and she takes the initiative to talk to us when there is something wrong, just like a real couple.

This was also her kindness in return. Zhou Jingyun pursed his lips and said hello.

Madam Dongyang Hou was a little surprised when she saw that the two of them were not coming side by side to say hello. When she heard that she wanted to go hiking tomorrow, she curled her lips and said, "Go ahead."

Zhuang Li was not silent. After listening to her words, he smiled and asked, "Mother, come with us."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glanced at her and said, "I won't go. It's cold and the road is difficult to walk." After saying her picky and disdainful words, she coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to see your aunt tomorrow."

Now that Mrs. Xue's condition has stabilized, there is an imperial doctor who can consult at any time, and Zhuang Li no longer interferes. After all, she is not really good at medical treatment.

"Mother, why don't you go the day after tomorrow? The prince and I will come back tomorrow to pick plums, and mother will take them to show to my aunt." Zhuang Li said with a smile.

She also arranged for her to do things. Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted in her heart. She didn't say anything. She just looked at Zhou Jingyun and said, "It's colder in the mountains than in the city. Don't overdress and bring a hand stove." She whispered again, "It's better to be sick."

Zhou Jingyun responded with a smile.

Because they had to prepare for their trip tomorrow, the two of them did not stay any longer and left.

"Madam, you are very lucky. Which daughter-in-law and her husband invite her mother-in-law to accompany them when they go out?" Xu's mother said with a smile.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at her: "She is afraid that I won't let them go."

Xu's mother covered her mouth: "Madam, young madam, are you afraid?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was startled when she was told that, but it was not true that Mr. Zhuang's temper really did not scare her...

She sighed: "She can't even try to please me."

In fact, it's already been cured. Otherwise, why would the madam have asked her to wear thicker clothes for her hand stove? The prince is a young and strong man. He is not afraid of the cold, but because he is afraid of freezing the fence.

Mother Xu didn't want to expose Madam's thin skin. She sat down and whispered to her: "Dongshan Lingquan Temple is particularly effective in praying for a child. You two should go and pay homage."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was immediately happy: "Bless you everything goes well and there will be good news soon." At this point, she complained again, "Mother Kang said that the crown prince Xie Mei was there last night? Why do you think she is pretending to be generous? The most important thing right now is childbirth. Heir."

Xu's mother smiled and comforted her, "It's just one night's rest. It won't happen tonight."

Zhuang Li came out of the wash and saw Zhou Jingyun already leaning on the bed, reading a book in his hand.

"I will prepare the gifts for Mr. Zhuang's winter festival," Zhuang Li said.

Zhou Jingyun shook his head: "It's up to me. I'm also a student, equivalent to half a child. If you have anything to give, write it down and give it to me."

Zhuang Li didn't say hello politely to him, and got on the bed from his feet. He moved so quickly that Zhou Jingyun didn't have time to put his feet back to get out of the way. He could only smile and watched Zhuang Li lie down beside him, moving freely. Find your comfortable position in no time.

"You fell asleep when I read this last time." Zhou Jingyun looked at the book and said, "I'll read it again."

Zhuang Li lay on the pillow and said with a smile: "Okay, I forgot about it after not reading it for a day."

It's not that easy to forget. Zhou Jingyun smiled and read softly. As the paper turned three pages, he saw the person next to the pillow closed his eyes and fell asleep.

She was facing him, her hands on her cheeks, sleeping soundly.

No matter how good she is, she still falls asleep so easily, which shows that she is indeed not in good health. Zhou Jingyun thought to herself, even Shen Qing knows that she is not in good health...

Zhou Jingyun was silent for a moment, looking at the quilt she had slipped off, reaching out to pull it up, turning his head and extinguishing the light and lying down.

The night inside is quiet.

…

…

On the boat on the Jinshui River in the night, the excitement has just begun.

Shangguan Yue was very surprised when she saw Wang Tong walking in wearing a Taoist robe and a whisk bell tied around his waist.

"Why did you get out?" He stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Did you get kicked out by Xuanyangzi?"

Wang Tong laughed: "I came out to catch ghosts under the orders of my master."
