Yanmenchun

Chapter 54

Shen Tuchan moved her hand on the table twice and said: "Don't worry."

Her eyes were calm, so Feng Yingru could only sigh and patted her hand, and finally said: "There is one more thing to tell you, maybe it will be useful to you."

Shentu Chan nodded, with doubts on his face.

"The person I mentioned to you before, Chen Jing's uncle, General Fenwei Chen Wuyong, will return from Hanzhong in a few days."

Shen Tuchan was taken aback for a moment: "Did you transfer back?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Feng Yingru had no choice but to explain: "No, he hasn't been back for two years. His Majesty allowed him to go back to Beijing to visit relatives. He stayed for half a month and then left."

Shen Tuchan thought about what she said to Jiang Lan last time to shake up the officialdom and the common people in Hanzhong. Regardless of the pros and cons, it's time for Chen Wuyong to come back.

Feng Yingru was still in front of her eyes, she didn't struggle for too long, she thought for a while and said, "Okay, I see, Sisi, thank you."

She smiled and took Feng Yingru's hand, Feng Yingru touched her forehead and said, "Thank you for letting me worry less."

Shen Tuchan looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

After sending Feng Yingru away, the Marquis of Zhenbei closed its doors to thank the guests, and Shen Tuchan only replied to the post sent by Princess Baoqing, and did not invite her to come over.

Sure enough, it was similar to what Feng Yingru said, and Lin Zicheng, the commander of the Jingdu Guards, personally brought people to the door.

Shentu Danlin was still recovering from his injuries, the old lady was old, Shentu Ye was not the person involved, Lin Zicheng had met him at the Taifu Yamen earlier.

Shen Tuchan received Lin Zicheng alone in the main hall.

Half of the Jingdu Weili are the sons of meritorious nobles, there is nothing to do at home, and the big yamen can't grab the fat jobs, so they can only send people to the Jingdu Weili to take a job, such as Shentu Danlin before.

Lin Zicheng was already in his thirties. Although he was a commander, he was not a son of a nobleman in the capital city.

He was born in a poor and famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was still a concubine. His aunt was just a maidservant of Mrs. Zheng. The family couldn't afford a woman from a good family, so he asked his mother to be a housemate. He was very poor in his youth. It is said that when his aunt died He couldn't even afford a coffin, so he was buried as soon as he wrapped it in a straw mat.

It was rumored that since then he came to the capital city by himself, and entered the Luo family as a student. The master of the Luo family was the previous Zhongshu Ling, and he loved Lin Zicheng very much, and even betrothed his youngest daughter to him.

Lin Zicheng ascended to the sky in one step and became the son-in-law of the Luo family. Master Luo recommended him to join the Jingdu Wei. He was cautious and low-key in the Jingdu Wei. He did a good job, and was recommended by Master Luo, and he quickly took the position of commander.

This is a widely circulated theory, but Shen Tuchan inquired about another one from Haitang's mother.

Lin Zicheng hooked up with Ms. Luo first, and Ms. Luo was a stubborn woman who cried and wanted to marry him. Master Luo loved this young daughter very much, and considering that Lin Zicheng had no relatives in the capital, he betrothed his daughter to He's dead, he's half a door-to-door son-in-law.

Lin Zicheng was not only because of his outstanding ability and the position of commander recommended by Mr. Luo. At that time, Mr. Luo had been ill for several years and could not help him at all. He was because he climbed into the bed of Princess Wenyang .

Princess Wenyang is the emperor's own sister. She is not the same as Princess Chang'an. Princess Chang'an was not born to the same mother as the emperor.

This princess was naturally romantic, and the former emperor died before he could find her a concubine. Now that she has been enthroned, she has started to keep male pets. The emperor reprimanded her many times in private, but it was useless. The royal family had to declare that she was not in good health and let her She didn't go out much, so she lived alone in the Changping Palace in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Zicheng was favored by Princess Wenyang at that time, so he showed his face in front of the emperor with her help, and was soon remembered by the emperor because of his rigorous search at a sacrifice to heaven, and he became the deputy commander not long after. He was promoted to commander again.

Shen Tuchan thought about this in her heart, and greeted Lin Zicheng who came in with a smile on her face: "I have seen you, my lord."

Lin Zicheng was ordered to handle the case. He wore official uniforms and brought along a group of guards.

In fact, this is a signal that the Zhenbeihou Mansion has no family members and cannot support itself. Lin Zicheng doesn't take the Zhenbeihou Mansion seriously.

After entering the main hall, he directly passed Shen Tuchan and sat down on one of the chairs at the front, "Excuse me, miss, I'm here today for matters on Chunshan."

When the maid served tea, he took a sip from the cup and put it down.

Shen Tuchan looked at the two rows of guards at the door, smiled, turned around and sat down on the other chair at the front, "Commander, please ask me, I will know everything."

The last time Lin Zicheng saw Shen Tuchan was when Zheng Cuicui died. At that time, he also thought that Zheng Cuicui died of drugs, but the more he thought about it later, the more impossible it became. How could none of the elders in the family and the servants in the yard know.

In his heart, he actually admitted that Zheng Cuicui was killed by someone, but at that time the Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty was obviously almost withered, and he died in the Princess' Mansion. He found out that the servants of the Princess' Mansion had intersected with people from Yunnan At that time, I knew that the investigation could not continue, and the further investigation would only be more detrimental to the eighth princess, so I had to hastily close the case.

I don't know why, the more he looks at the smiling Shen Tuchan, the more he thinks of Zheng Cuicui's death, so he turned his eyes away and said: "Miss Shentu, please tell me about the things you went to Chunshan that day in detail. Everything has to be said."

Shen Tuchan nodded and said, "My brother has been going to Tianjin Weiyi for half a year. After he comes back, I think I should visit my parents' graves."

As she spoke, she pretended to be reminiscing, and while thinking about it, she described in detail how she and Shentu Danlin went out, brought a few maids and guards with them, and what clothes they wore that day.

Lin Zicheng was a little impatient and couldn't interrupt her, so he had to drink tea frequently.

After talking for a long time, Shen Tuchan said: "We changed the sedan chair, my brother was in front, and I was behind. Suddenly, I heard a commotion, and feather arrows shot over from outside. Fortunately, my brother and I were lucky, and the feather arrow didn't penetrate. The sedan chair, my brother got out of the sedan chair when he heard the movement, and those people rushed up with swords, how could my brother beat them, if the guards were not protecting them desperately, my brother would have been killed by the sword!"

She patted her chest with lingering fear as she spoke, Lin Zicheng finally heard the important point and asked, "Is Princess Jingxin here at this time?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head, with disbelief: "My brother and I were just bandits we met on the way. At that time, we didn't even know where we were in Chunshan. How could we meet Princess Jingxin? We fought in a scuffle, and my brother was punished." With such a serious injury, we quickly retreated down the mountain."

Shen Tuchan didn't mention Princess Jingxin at all in the whole article, all her attention was on how long they walked up the mountain, she heard something outside in the sedan chair, and how Shentu Danlin was injured at that time, how critical it was at that time, How serious.

There were no loopholes in the words, so Lin Zicheng finally had no choice but to say: "Can I ask Miss Shentu's maid alone?"

Shen Tuchan froze for a moment, nodded and said, "My lord, just ask here, I'll sit in the side hall."

As he spoke, he called Xiaoman over, and the master and servant looked natural, without the slightest nervousness or hesitation.
