Chapter 309 Trap
On the first day of the new year, the sky was full of haze, and the cold wind was biting. It was still a scene of a storm.

With a smile, Shen Xian took out the cashmere robe he bought for Zhao Shun from the closet.

"Sanggong, wear new clothes for the New Year, try the new clothes I bought for you."

"Thank you, lady."

Zhao Shun took the clothes from Shen Xian, and put them on neatly.

The genuine cashmere quickly warmed up Zhao Shun's body.

After getting dressed, Zhao Shun put on the loose official robe outside.

Seeing her put on the official robe, Shen Xian couldn't help but frowned and said, "Sir, are you going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice on the first day of the new year?"

Zhao Shun was not willing to part with Shen Xian, but the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.

"My lady, there are countless unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the Ministry of Punishment. If I don't care about it, people will die unjustly every day."

With Zhao Shun's reasons, Shen Xian couldn't find an excuse to keep him at home.

"Well, you must pay attention to your body and don't be too tired."

Shen Xian obediently rubbed against Zhao Shun's chest, and strangled him tightly with his arms.

"Okay, I will definitely come back early today to accompany you."

"Well, let's go, go early and come back early."

Sending Zhao Shun to the door, Shen Xian sighed softly and went back to the yard.

Gu Lanshu changed into new clothes, and even Dou Sha in her arms was dressed in cute little clothes.

"Grandpa is out busy again?"

"That's right, he's the only one working in the criminal department of Nuo Da, and he doesn't know when the world will get better."

……

Zhao Shun came to the Ministry of Punishment in a carriage. In the new year, he still hadn't seen the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment come to the Ministry of Punishment.

Seeing Zhao Shun, the head of the criminal department forced a smile on his face, "Hehehe, Mr. Zhao, happy new year!"

"Well, happy new year!"

Zhao Shun simply greeted him, then turned and went into the study to correct the case.

The head of the criminal department stood in the aisle, clasped his hands, and said, "What a weird person, he doesn't rest on the first day of the new year, and even ran to the criminal department."

The voice of the head of the Criminal Department was heard by the guards on the side.

The guard lowered his voice and said, "Isn't the Master Chief here too?"

The head of the criminal department snorted coldly, thinking that I came here to earn money, not to read those stinky and long files.

I thought it would be a peaceful day, but suddenly an urgent file from the army was sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

The cavalry of the Imperial Army stopped at the door, and proudly threw the file in his hand into the arms of the head of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Within three days, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will see the result."

The head of the criminal department was taken aback. It turned out that the regent personally ordered the case to be investigated, and he didn't dare to delay it.

However, there is still a time limit for this hot potato. Although it is done well, it is a great achievement, but if it is not done well, I am afraid that it will be angered by the regent.

After thinking about it, he decided to send it to Zhao Shun in charge of the criminal department. Doesn't he like to handle cases?Then leave the case to him.

Zhao Shun was checking the case in the room, and the charcoal fire had just warmed the room.

With a 'squeak', the door was opened.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shun looked up at the minister of punishment.

"Hehehe, a new case has arrived. It was sent by the imperial army. It is said that the regent personally issued the case." The head of the criminal department showed a strong smile on his face, and put the file on Zhao Shun's desk.

"After much deliberation, I think that only the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can take on this important task."

Hearing that the case was sent by Yu Wenji, Zhao Shun's face became much more serious, and it was not a trivial matter.

"The officer knows, I will deal with it immediately."

Seeing that Zhao Shun agreed to come down, the head of the criminal department smiled and walked out, and only belatedly patted the back of his head when he reached the door.

"By the way, Mr. Minister, this case will have a result within three days."

"understood."

When the minister of punishment closed the door, Zhao Shun opened the file.

Zhao Shun carefully read the reasons and events in the scroll. It turned out that last night on New Year's Eve, the imperial guards in the palace were attacked and killed while delivering food to the princess of Nanyang.

The perpetrator was caught on the spot.

Seeing this, Zhao Shun was slightly taken aback.

Now that the murderer has been arrested, what else is there to investigate in this case?

When Zhao Shun turned the dossier to the second page, his expression suddenly became serious.

The second page contains information about the prisoner.

Shen Su and Zhao Shun felt a little familiar when they saw the name.

However, when he looked down one more line, he was startled and stood up directly.

Shen Su, a native of Changle Village, Yongle County, is the commander of a thousand soldiers under the command of General Xiao Xuangu.

This person is none other than Shen Xian's father, his own father-in-law.

Zhao Shun took a deep breath, and at the end of the file was written to investigate the cause of the attack and murder and find out who was behind the scenes?

Seeing this, Zhao Shun immediately understood that this case was definitely fabricated out of thin air, and even if it wasn't, it was deliberately framed.

I'm afraid it's just to test himself, Yu Wenji really wants to use Shen Su's identity to test himself.

"Hmph, more cunning than wolves in the woods."

Zhao Shun had thought that the identity of his father-in-law might become his doubt, but he did not expect that the action of the language collection would come so quickly.

Right now, Yu Wenji probably wanted to see if he was lenient with Shen Su, or if he was as relentless as he was with Gu Hanlin.

Zhao Shun knew that this matter was related to his trust in Yu Wenji's heart. If this matter was not handled well, Yu Wenji might give up on it.

If it is more serious, it may also arouse Yu Wenji's suspicion.

No matter what kind of result, it is unacceptable to Zhao Shun.

This is a road that Lu has paved with blood in recent years.

Zhao Shun rarely felt anxious, and kept pacing in the room, and he couldn't really get rid of his father-in-law with his own hands.

If Shen Xian and Gu Lanshu knew about this, the family would probably be in chaos.

Concern leads to chaos, Zhao Shun suddenly lost his composure and ideas.

At this time, he remembered Xiao Xuangu's words, and he could ask him for help when he couldn't bear it.

Zhao Shun picked up the file and strode out, intending to contact Xiao Xuangu in secret.

When he was about to get into the carriage, Zhao Shun suddenly felt a gaze staring at him, like a wolf in the jungle watching him from the bushes.

With Yuwenji's eyeliner!
Thinking of his decision just now, Zhao Shun couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Isn't this step a trap for him?

At this moment, not only him, but even the General's Mansion are being targeted.

If you contact rashly, since it is the end of eternal doom.

After thinking about this, Zhao Shun immediately regained his close expression.

"Ergou, send me to Gyeonggi Prefecture to investigate the case!",

"okay."

Ergou shook the reins and headed towards Gyeonggi Prefecture.

Yu Wenji's eyeliner followed far behind, monitoring Zhao Shun's movements all the time.

In the carriage, Zhao Shun's mood was difficult to calm down, no different from when he witnessed Lu Jinnian's death with his own eyes.
