Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 215

Shen Lanze and Deadpool hid, and saw a group of two people in disguise coming through the moonlight.

I saw them looking around to make sure that no one could move forward.

The two seemed to be very familiar with everything here. They came to a big mountain and pushed aside the weeds beside it with their hands.Place gravel from the ground into the opening in the wall.

There was a bang, and the mountain in front of him slowly opened.

Shen Lanze and Deadpool looked at each other. It seems that Qingshi Village does not exist but is in a very hidden place.

"Let's go and have a look."

Shen Lanze and Deadpool flashed in at the last moment when the stone door was closed, and the inside was very empty, illuminated by a night pearl inlaid every ten steps.

The most important thing is that there are many trails here, they can only follow the footsteps, for fear that if they are not careful, they will follow the wrong way.

After walking for about two sticks of incense, they finally came out of the cave. They were stunned when they saw the situation outside. They didn't expect this to be a village.

But for some reason, this small village is a bit gloomy and windy, and none of the houses are brightly lit, and everything is dark.

Shen Lanze couldn't think so much now, so he could only follow in the footsteps of the two in front, and they walked along the village.

The two disguised came to a temple, and there were already people waiting in front of the temple.

I saw a man wearing a black robe, because he was too far away to see his appearance clearly, I only heard his low voice: "Did you find anything?"

"I've searched everywhere I can, but I haven't found what the master said." The two replied respectfully.

Hearing this, the black-robed man immediately slapped the two of them angrily, and then cursed: "Trash!"

The two were sent flying, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, they knelt on the ground and begged, "Please calm down, Master."

The man in black snorted coldly, and continued: "I will give you three more days at the end, and if there is no news, you will be sent to purgatory."

After saying that, the man in black turned around and left.

The two looked up at the sky. The sky was extremely dark at the moment, as if there would be heavy rain pouring down at any moment.

……

That night, the capital was very quiet, except for the patrolling soldiers, there were no pedestrians.

Shen Lanze returned to the capital, and immediately came to the fifth prince's mansion, and told what he saw.But he still has some doubts.

Why can't there be a single person in Qingshi Village, and who is that black-robed man, and what do they want to get from the waiter?
"Things seem to be getting more and more confusing, but you don't have much time left. If you can't find the murderer, you can only hand over Miss Lu." The fifth prince said solemnly, with a look of worry in his eyes.

Shen Lanze nodded, feeling very upset, he didn't know what to do, he always felt that the current situation was different from before.

"You go to rest first! You have to go to court early tomorrow." The fifth prince sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Shen Lanze nodded and left the Fifth Prince's Mansion.Looking at the dark sky outside the window, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

The next morning, Ji Mingcheng played Shen Lanze and abused his power to cover up criminals. Several other ministers agreed that Shen Lanze had failed the emperor's trust and was not suitable for Prime Minister Cha Luo's case.
A victor's smile appeared on Ji Mingcheng's face. He wanted to see how long Shen Lanze could be arrogant, whether to hand over Lu Nanzhi or lose his official position.

There was a slight smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he didn't know whether he was angry or happy when he heard the performance.

Shen Lanze looked very calm, he stepped into the hall slowly, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "I report to the emperor, I have been wronged!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Lanze, with a majestic tone: "Get up and talk!"

Shen Lanze stood up slowly, looked around, his eyes fell on Ji Mingcheng, a coldness flashed in his eyes, he really admired this Master Ji.

All the ministers also cast puzzled eyes, seeing that the emperor's attitude did not seem to want to deal with Shen Lanze.

Ji Mingcheng looked confident and waited for the next development. He had a lot of evidence in his hands, and Shen Lanze would be punished today!

It's a pity that he forgot that the emperor holds the power of their life and death in his hands, whoever lives and who dies is the emperor's decision, and whether there is a crime is also determined by the emperor.

"The dead Xiao Er had a lot to do with Prime Minister Luo. Weichen is currently investigating. As for the murderer who hurt Xiaoer, weichen has also been caught. It was the servant of Chunfenglou."

"Impossible! The murderer is Lu Nanzhi. Could it be that Mr. Shen is protecting her? Just find someone to replace her?" Ji Mingcheng stood up excitedly, pointed at Shen Lanze and asked angrily.

"Master Ji's words are so strange. Why do you think that Lu Nanzhi is the murderer? Do you have any evidence? Just with that plate of cakes and that boy?"

"That's right, the pastry was made by Lu Nanzhi himself, and the servant is a witness!"

"Oh, is it a witness or a murderer? Lu Nanzhi would be so stupid as to poison the cakes he made, wouldn't he tell everyone that she is the murderer?"

"Why is it impossible?"

"Snapped!"

The emperor slammed his palm on the table and angrily said: "Enough!"

The emperor was furious, and the whole palace was full of depression.

Everyone was silent like cicadas, they didn't dare to take a breath, even their breathing became extra soft, for fear of offending the already angry emperor.

"Your Majesty, Shen Lanze clearly wants to exonerate Lu Nanzhi, that's why he said that! The murderer is Lu Nanzhi! I will never make a mistake!"

The emperor laughed out loud when he heard this, and shot his piercing eyes at Ji Mingcheng.

"Absolutely? Take your life as an absolute guarantee? Guarantee that this case is not wrong? Guarantee that the murderer is Lu Nanzhi?"

Ji Mingcheng's face turned pale in an instant, dense sweat appeared on his forehead, he lowered his head, he didn't dare to say anything more, how dare he promise?

"It seems that you can't guarantee it? Then what is the use of you? Do you want you to kill a thousand by mistake, and don't let one go!"

The emperor's body trembled angrily, and he threw down the memorial in his hand.

Shen Lanze stood there straight, letting the memorial hit him, and said in a respectful tone: "The emperor calms down, I have ample evidence to prove that the murderer is the servant."

"you……"

Ji Mingcheng wanted to say something more, but suddenly remembered the person sitting in the high position, and immediately swallowed the words on his lips.

"I'll report this later. I have one more thing. I heard that there is a famine all over the place. What can you do?"

Mentioning this matter gave the emperor a headache, and this matter has always troubled him.

Famines in various places have led to more and more refugees pouring into the capital. It is not an option to continue like this, and the capital cannot accommodate so many refugees.

"Your Majesty, I feel that we can open warehouses to release grain. Only in this way can we alleviate the disasters in various places." One of the ministers said.

"Continuing like this is not a long-term solution. We can't keep opening warehouses to release food for disaster relief." Another minister retorted.

The emperor rubbed his forehead, looked at Jun Moyu and Jun Ziheng standing in front and asked, "Who do you think is right?"
