The reason why Shen Zhezi lived in the garden villa in the eastern suburbs was just to be quiet. But after this happened, the quiet atmosphere of the garden villa was quickly shattered.

After pacifying everyone on his side, night had fallen, and there was no use in the dry room, so Shen Zhezi arranged for Ji You and Lu Yong to go back to the city together, and check the wind in Taichung by the way.

Yu Manzhi felt that he could help Shen Zhezi prove his innocence, and he had been eating and living in the Shen family for the past few days, and finally waited for a chance to return, so he had to go back to the city together to gather the children of all families in the capital to help the horse clarify.

But this kind of behavior is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here, and Shen Zhezi is really grateful for this kindness, and directly asked his family to pull Yu Manzhi down and lock him up, so as not to make this kid a pig teammate, God assists and other stupid things.

Soon after Ji You and the others left, many cars crossed Qingxi and came to the manor to pay respects. Some of them spy in the name of visiting, while others are worried and remind Shen Zhezi to be careful.

At a time like this, it's not necessarily a good thing for a large number of people to gather here. Shen Zhezi didn't bother to tell whether the other party was a human or a ghost from those smiling faces, since he arrived home, he would provide singing, dancing, drinking and food, and let Diao Yuan and Ren Qiu accompany him at home, while he withdrew and went to the backyard to avoid quiet.

Princess Xingnan went out hunting with Cui Ling, the little lady of the Cui family, in the afternoon under the escort of Zhuang Ding, and just went home to change into hunting clothes, and I don't know what happened.

When Shen Zhezi returned to the room, the princess was sitting on the Hu bed with a silk blanket and laughing and talking about interesting stories with several ladies in the house. Seeing Shen Zhezi returning to the room, several ladies retired one after another, and the princess stepped forward to take the clothes that Shen Zhezi had untied, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "The vestibule is a dance and music again, do those people have nothing to do?" Why are we all in the countryside, and they still have to chase after us? ”

Shen Zhezi took a sip of the hot tea offered by Xiao Gua'er, then sat down and said with a smile: "Rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. If so, I will examine what I have done through my years of toil. The rise and fall of honor and disgrace have troubles, although there is noise at the moment, after all, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and merit is not destroyed, which is already a first-class blessing. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the horse is a good man, and Jiangdong is handsome. We women are short-sighted, and we should only be within the beauty curtain, waiting for grace. ”

The princess had no shortage of grievances in her mouth, but there was a smile between her eyebrows, and she ordered someone to bring the meal into the room: "I thought you would not return until late, and you had already eaten with Mrs. A Ling." ”

Shen Zhezi was not hungry at first, but he just watched the princess busy going in and out, while still chattering about some internal and external trivial matters: "I met the princess of the East China Sea outside the village in the afternoon, it turns out that the princess also lives in the Zhuangzi outside the city, do you have anything to do tomorrow?" Do you want to accompany me to visit the concubine? ”

The concubine of the East China Sea Palace, is the late East China Sea King Sima Yue's princess Pei Shi, in the early years of the North Land was not in the chaos of the army, luckily survived, and now Rong is raised in Jiangdong, many old celebrities who were born in the Yue Mansion are all four times to visit, and it is also considered to be a healthy old state.

Shen Zhezi had seen this Concubine Pei a few times, probably because of his act of killing the King of Xiyang a few years ago, he was taught a few words to respect the clan, and then he was not very happy to meet him. He had never benefited from Yuefu, and he was too lazy to listen to those gossip and nagging.

"If you want to go, go by yourself, and by the way, tell the king of the East China Sea that when you return to the capital in the future, inform the mansion that I will invite him once."

Shen Zhezi is not happy to rely on the old Concubine Pei, but the king of the East China Sea has a more correct attitude recently, and he can have some exchanges. It doesn't matter if the clan is good or bad, after all, it is also a force that cannot be ignored in the current situation. The five horses who crossed the river are almost dead, and the main force of the future clan is the Yuan Emperor line.

Later, the famous Qing Emperor Sima Yu is still just a child, and he was renamed the King of Xuancheng by Yu Liang in his early years, and he is still raised in the capital. Therefore, among the many kings nowadays, the East Sea King is especially famous.

However, the king of the East China Sea himself does not have any great ambitions, he is quite willing to be a rich idler, and rarely expresses any ideas with a clear attitude, which has won the favor of the people of the time.

When the meal was delivered, Princess Xingnan sat at the table to help with the dishes, and when she heard Shen Zhezi's words, she also frowned and said: "I am not happy to see the concubine, I always say anything about the old things of China and North Korea, and others can't intervene." But now that I know, it's a neighbor again, so it's not good not to see it. The poor princess is a kind person, but there is an elder in the family who is not in a good mood......"

"I'm also going to take you to the tower in that garden, and show you how I looked at you from the tower at that time, and you don't want to go, so forget it."

Speaking of this, the princess can't help but have some small regrets. She first met Shen Zhezi in the East China Sea King Manor, and she always had a different kind of emotion for it.

Shen Zhezi heard the little daughter's thoughts and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing about this, when I see the king, I will ask him if he is willing to sell the manor." His garden, though not small, was a little deserted. There are also many garden villas near my house, which are selected by him to replace. ”

"Seriously?"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her eyebrows suddenly rose, and the smile on her face was even better, but she immediately shook her head: "What if he chooses a good garden?" My family can't afford to suffer too much! ”

"No matter how much money you have, if you can't use it, it's no different from wood and stone. The family business is to let the old and young Xianning, as long as my wife is happy, what a pity. ”

Shen Zhezi took a sip of the soup in the princess's hand, and then said with a lack of pride, and then the left cheek was lightly pecked by the soft lips of the little lady.

Early the next morning, someone came to report the progress of the matter, and it was Zhang Mu of the Danyang Zhang family.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Mu said with a respectful and anxious expression: "When I first heard about this evil incident, the people were also frightened, and my father visited various families overnight, and no one knew who was responsible for this crime. ”

Hearing Zhang Mu open his mouth to argue for himself, Shen Zhezi nodded noncommittally and said with a smile: "Zhang Lang has thought too much, this kind of felony of attacking Taichen is not something that can be decided by the people, after all, it will have to wait for the results of the investigation by the county government and the court lieutenant to make a conclusion." ”

"The person who took over this matter in the county government is the father of the small people, and yesterday the interrogation was intensified, and the murderers only said that there was no one to instigate, and they were all righteous indignant, and they reprimanded the Xue family thieves for not caring for the plight of the villagers, and they should be ......punished for their grandstanding."

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Zhang Mu hurriedly said again. Defending himself in such a low voice, Zhang Mu also felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he had to do it.

Earlier, because of his speech error, his father was imprisoned in the family because of this, and his family's status has dropped to a low point. However, the Ji family and other villagers started because of chaos, and now his family is trapped in the struggle for township capital, and he is not willing to provoke another Shen family for no reason.

Hearing Zhang Mu's explanation, Shen Zhezi was a musician: "How did Xiaomin know the content of the Taichung proceedings?" Those murderers want to cover up so much, you can know that their hearts are shady and deserve punishment! ”

"Yes, my father also has a saying in the family, and he hates the murderer and the cunning! Originally, Xiaomin should have come to spread the word yesterday, but the road was steep in the night, and he didn't come until this morning. ”

There is nothing to say about this, a large number of people poured into the house last night, and Shen Zhezi believed that except for some people who really cared about him, the rest should be more people who instigated trouble to aggravate his suspicion. As for Zhang Mu's choice to come during the day, it should be to let more people see that his family has no intention of competing with the Shen family, which has to be said to be a bit of a taste of forbearance.

"I'm also unemployed now, and I'm full of relaxation. Such a matter should not have been inquired about in the first place. Since Zhang Lang has passed the house, there is no need to leave in a hurry. I asked my family to prepare food and have a meal with Zhang Lang. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Mu hurriedly straightened his sitting posture and nodded in thanks. In addition to proving his innocence when he came to the Shen family this time, he also wanted to ease the relationship.

In this turmoil, his father Zhang Min was originally suspected of rebellion, but later he was trapped in Stone Town and was attacked by many villagers, and many crimes were listed, and he almost died because of it. Although he was only imprisoned and sent back to his hometown in the end, his popularity has been greatly lost.

Originally, the old enmity with the Shen family was also deep, but the scholar family always had too much helplessness for the family, and since they didn't die, they always had to live. Danyang Zhang's family is also a large sect, not his family, knowing that the strength and power are no longer available, if you still blindly target resentment, not only will it not help, but it may make the whole family fall into strife, and the branch will rise up to besiege and kill the backbone!

was entertained with a meal in the manor, Zhang Mu could taste only bitterness and helplessness, and before leaving, he did not forget to show goodwill again, and informed a news: "Xue Yan's return to the capital this time was recommended by Wang Jiangzhou, and among the attachés who returned to the capital this time, there are also several Jiangzhou veterans." ”

This is the sore spot of the stab in the back of the world's friendship clan, although Shen Zhezi can find out what kind of path this Xue Yi is sooner or later, but if he wants to investigate the details of the other party's attaché in such a short time, it is impossible.

In the afternoon, Chu Jiye came again, and talked about a detail with a solemn face: "Those murderers, who hid needles in their hair, should be preparing to commit suicide by swallowing needles after being imprisoned, and they must be a situation where there is no evidence to die!" It's just that the county government didn't take them into custody, and when they were transferred to prison, they scuffled, and one of the murderers was found out after stabbing the officials with a needle in his hair. ”

When talking about this, Chu Jiye's face was also extremely solemn. After this incident, he no longer had any doubts about Shen Zhezi, if it was really done by Shen Zhezi's side, he was just angry, why did he do so many things. If several murderers die in prison, the biggest suspect is naturally Shen Zhezi, who was offended by Xue Yan, and it is difficult to escape the blame for this kind of thing that happened in the Danyang Yin Chu Yi official office.

Compared with Chu Jiye's fear and rejoicing, Shen Zhezi couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this, feeling that things were a little difficult to do. Judging by the situation, these murderers are simply dead soldiers, and it is impossible to obtain the truth through interrogation. And the so-called dead soldiers, they are all deeply raised at home, rarely in contact with people, no matter the accent or appearance, there is no recognition, and it is rare to trace the history.

But the matter has come to this point, Shen Zhezi has actually sketched the general outline of the matter in his heart, and the truth no longer means much to him. Now it is time to consider how to mitigate the impact as soon as possible and to fight back.
