Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 196 I'm Weak, I'm Reasonable

"My lord, the mother of the Jiang family is dead."

"When did this happen?"

"This afternoon, when Jing Zhaoyin summoned witnesses to go to court, he was found hanged in his room and died. He also left a suicide note saying that because of his own fault, the young master was sued in the yamen, and he deserved to die."

Shen Yu closed the open book, "Go to Zheng Yuzuo and arrange for him to conduct an autopsy. We must find out the real cause of her death."

"My lord, do you suspect that he didn't kill him?" Lincang asked in a low voice, at least from the current evidence, it looks like he committed suicide.

"That nanny is an old man from Jiang's mansion. I met him a few times when I was in Sucheng. She has a bad face and a sharp tongue. She is acting old in the mansion because she is the wet nurse of the dust. How can such a person be possible? Just because I offended the master with a few words of my tongue, you committed suicide?"

The two were talking in the room, and the gatekeeper came over and said that Su Tiange was here.

Because he was confined at home, he couldn't go out rashly, so he really hasn't seen her for many days.

Lincang welcomed Su Tiange in and then arranged for Zheng Yu to do the autopsy.

Su Tiange entered Shen Yu's room, this was the first time she came in, there were stacks of books on the table beside her, scrolls and memorials that hadn't been taken away in time.Shen Yu had nothing to avoid her, he smiled when he saw her come in and went to pour water, picked up the teapot only to find that it was empty.

"Come here, boil some hot water."

"Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." Su Tiange stood in the room and looked it over, and finally raised his head to look at Shen Yu, "Is the headache better?"

"It's okay." Shen Yu walked over to meet her gaze, "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"

Su Tiange's ears turned red when she saw the starlight in his eyes, she coughed softly and smoothed the hair beside her ear, and said, "I came here today to ask your lord for advice."

Shen Yu nodded to indicate that she said yes, and Su Tiange briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and finally she paused and looked at Shen Yu, "I suspect that the nanny was used by someone and then murdered to silence her. I can go and examine the body carefully to see if there are any other signs of being killed."

"Lincang should be rushing to the yamen to make arrangements now. Don't be angry with Chen Zhi. He is not bad at heart, but he is too well protected by his family and he doesn't want to accept other people's instructions and plans for him. He behaves according to his temperament."

"I know, he really helped me a lot in Sucheng, and I always remember it. But I really don't approve of his marriage with Fang Qiyu. I have been in Fang's family for nearly ten years, and I have been under the fence to see people's faces, so I am more than anyone else. You must understand what kind of person she is. Jiang Chenzhi has no fame and fame, why Fang Zhongan agreed to this marriage, but because of Jiang Chengxiang's high position."

"If Jiang Chenzhi still doesn't have a clear mind like this, is confused by beauty and is led by the nose, how should he deal with himself when Xiao Yan and Xiao Rui are fighting."

"I've thought about this issue and analyzed it with him. He said that after getting married, he would take Fang Qiyu to roam the world as a couple of gods and immortals."

Oh, Su Tiange sneered, "There is no such cheap thing in the world." She opened her mouth and didn't tell what happened in the past. After all, no one would believe an unfounded prophecy, especially if it came from her ignorance. Kindly say it out of this mouth.

"He's a little whimsical." Shen Yu stretched out his hand to grab Su Tiange's hand, "But this is also my idea, sometimes I also think how great it would be to be able to take you wandering around the world."

Su Tiange pursed her lips and said nothing, she can't be seduced by this beautiful fantasy, at least not now, she has to be fully armed to not be defeated.

"Tian Ge, what I said still counts. I am ready to marry you anytime."

"My lord." Su Tiange let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "Now is not the time."

"I know." He took another step forward, stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's why I said I'm ready at any time."

Su Tiange had to say that she hesitated. The brave confession in Tangquan Palace that day seemed to be a hallucination of a momentary brain twitch. When she returned to the capital and met those people and went through these things, the reality dragged her out of the illusion.It's not the time for romance yet, but she can't say that to Shen Yu.

The next day, Lincang sent Zheng Yuzuo's autopsy results, and the scene was indeed in line with the arrangement of a person who hanged himself. The nun had no other wounds except the strangle mark on her neck, and her broken neck was also suitable for hanging herself.But the strange thing is that her back molars are missing two, the wound is very fresh, and the gums are full of red blood spots.

Could it be poisoning?Su Tiange looked through the records and there was no mention, which shows that Zheng Yuzuo is not sure whether he was poisoned or not, or at least he hasn't found out whether it contains poison yet.

"Also, in the court hall today, someone read Prime Minister Jiang's book about Jiang Chenzhi's business in the South Street, saying that he taught his son Wufang to let him commit murder, and his virtue was at a disadvantage."

Sure enough, it came, the other party was still really unwilling to give up any chance, "Whose memorial?"

"I don't know, it seems that it was mixed in the usual papers and presented to the Holy Majesty."

"What's your majesty thinking?"

"I just asked the servant to read the document, and didn't say how to deal with it. My lord means that the emperor is waiting to see how Prime Minister Jiang handles this matter."

Just because there were other people's criticisms in the short time in Sucheng, Su Tiange judged that Prime Minister Jiang would probably let Jiang Chenzhi take the blame, and he would make the scene as big as possible to let more people know that he is not a pervert. people.

But in this way, she became an unscrupulous businessman who forced the old mother to death and made the prime minister's house unable to come down. She would not do it.Others put on a weak posture, she can only be weaker.

After sending Lincang away, Su Tiange asked Ai Hu to go to South Street to drive out the smeared silk and satin from the shop, and then closed the shop.Then they took the cloth from door to door and sent it to the people who bought the coarse cloth and registered it before, and only said one thing: Suji Silk and Satin Factory probably had a bad year. First, a shopkeeper was burned by the fire, and now he was beaten and killed. So the head of the family is going to close down and sell the store.All fabrics are given away for free, if you can still use it, you can use it as a kindling if you can’t, and burn it.

Ai Hu went to deliver the fabric, Su Tiange asked Ding Xiang to pack the clothes, and she was going to Mei'an to cultivate herself.

In the courtyard of the Jiang Manor, Jiang Chenzhi was beaten by his father, the housekeeper was still busy looking for Jing Tiao, and the servants who went out to inquire about the news came back to report.The silk and satin village was closed, and Su Tiange went to Meishan to cultivate himself.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang became even angrier, and stared at his son with hatred, "You have read so many sage books into the stomach of a dog, and you can't beat a woman?"

Jiang Chen's belly slandered: "You've been busy for nothing and I was beaten for nothing. That sharp-toothed Su Tiange is amazing. My son can't fight, so I have to come here."

"Someone locked up the young master and confined him for two months. If he dared to let him go, I think you are asking."

"But master, the young master is about to get married soon. This..."

"Retire, I'm going to face the saint right now." As soon as Prime Minister Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Chenzhi stood up suddenly.

"No, I won't marry Yu'er in this life."

"Okay, if you want to marry, I don't recognize you as a son." The father and son choked at each other in the yard, neither of them would admit defeat. Shen Yu is here.
