Wei Changying asked Qing Jiangzheng how he was injured, and sent Shen Ju back to the front with a livid face. Shen Ju just stepped back, and Shen Zangfeng came back. He walked in with a smile, and happened to see Wei Changying's extremely ugly face. His smile immediately After a pause, he asked, "Who made you angry? Could it be that Shen Ju was rude to you?" He frowned as he spoke.
"Nothing." Wei Changying forced a smile and stepped forward to untie his outer robe. He said as he did so, "My instructor Jiang Zheng was seriously injured and was carried to our yard before noon to ask for help. Duanmu happened to be Xin Miao is here, and now his life has been saved, but he is still living in the front for the time being... "
"That's what it should be." Shen Zangfeng nodded without waiting for her to finish, and said, "Just let him live there. There is more than one guest room in front of us anyway. Just keep it in our account for any medicinal materials we need. We won't be short of them either." That’s it, don’t make the people below cold.”
Wei Changying sighed and asked his servants to step back first before continuing: "There is a reason why he was almost beaten to death. It was the people around the prince who did it."
Shen Zangfeng's expression changed, and he didn't waste any time waiting for his wife to serve him. He removed his outer robe and took off his ceremonial knife, put it aside, sat down on the table, and motioned to his wife to do the same. Sit over and say, "Speak more carefully."
Seeing that he was taking this matter so seriously and implicating the prince, Wei Changying felt a little worried. He bit his lip and said: "Originally, I just left the Anshun Inn... This inn is one of my dowry, and Uncle Jiang has been staying here since he came to the imperial capital. There. Because there is a pastry shop near the inn, Uncle Jiang would go there and buy some cakes in his spare time..."
She told what happened and said, "I think since Mr. Jiang did not violate the prince's honor guard, why did the prince insist on framing him like this? I'm afraid it has something to do with the incident of the lotus picker at Huichuncao Lake."
Shen Zangfeng asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that Uncle Jiang... Since he was still thinking about going back to teach his disciples when he was buying cakes, why did he go to other streets? Was he kidnapped by someone, or did he go there on his own? "
Wei Changying smiled bitterly and said: "Although Uncle Jiang's life has been saved, he is still unconscious. How can I ask now?" He added, "I heard that after Uncle Jiang arrived in the imperial capital, he only devoted himself to teaching his disciple Zhu Lei. Now, Zhu Lei is in front. He should know the best about Uncle Jiang, but when Uncle Jiang went to buy cakes, Zhu Lei didn't go with him, so he might not know anything. "
"Call over and ask." Shen Zangfeng stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said.
Although it was getting late, Shen Zangfeng was there, so it didn't hurt to call Zhu Lei over. Because Jiang Zheng's life was not in danger, Zhu Lei calmed down a lot. Although this man was a commoner and a warrior, he seemed to know something. It is the rule of a wealthy family to bow after entering the door and lower your eyes slightly to avoid seeing the face of the guard chief Ying or the maids sitting next to Shen Zangfeng - he came very quickly, and Shen Die who was traveling with him may not have time to follow these rules. The teachings were mostly from Jiang Zheng.
Shen Zangfeng raised his hand to let him off the hook. Without waiting for him to thank or apologize, he asked straight to the point: "Do you know what kind of relationship your master has with the shopkeeper of the Hu Cake Shop where he went to buy cakes today?"
Zhu Lei's words of apology and thanks came to his lips. He swallowed them again and said in a daze: "I heard my master mentioned it once. It was a friend he met when my master was an escort during his lifetime. My master followed my master as a escort in his early years. I visited him when I was there, so I got to know him. This family's surname seems to be from Gyeonggi, and they later moved to the imperial capital for some reason. After my master and I stayed at the Anshun Inn, we met him by chance nearby. Often go and take care of their business.”
"People from Gyeonggi." Shen Zangfeng asked, "Do you know why they moved from Gyeonggi to the imperial capital?"
Zhu Lei shook his head and said: "I have never asked my master."
"My surname is Yu." Seeing this, Shen Zangfeng asked, "Do you know his name?"
"It is said that it is a single name with the character "福".
Shen Zangfeng told Shen Die in person: "Write a post to Zhang Pingxu and ask him to check it out."
Zhang Pingxu is the legitimate son of the Zhang family in Gyeonggi Province, and his status in the clan is not low. Since the Yu family is originally from Gyeonggi Province, they naturally cannot escape the attention of the Zhang family.
But Wei Changying was a little surprised when he saw Shen Zangfeng going to such great lengths to investigate a house selling Hu cakes, and asked in a low voice: "Does this mean that we have to rely on someone else?"
Because Zhu Lei was still in front of him, Shen Zangfeng only raised his hand slightly to signal his wife to turn around before talking, and continued to ask Zhu Lei: "Besides the Yu family, do you, the master and the disciple, have any other acquaintances near the Anshun Inn?"
"As for Young Master, no more." Zhu Lei added another sentence, "My master is not someone who likes to socialize... Young Master, but is there something wrong with the rest of the family?" After all, he was a martial artist. When Zhu Lei asked this, his face darkened. There was a hint of murderous intent in his tone!
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, then saw Shen Zangfeng shake his head and said calmly: "Now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, it is difficult to say anything."
Zhu Lei asked tentatively: "What do you want the young master to ask the rest of the family...?"
"I will tell you when the matter is clear." Shen Zangfeng said kindly but without doubt, "The master is seriously injured and still needs you to serve, so I won't delay you any longer."
Zhu Lei heard that this meant driving people away, and he was a little unwilling to do so. However, although he looked reckless, he also knew that the person under the roof - Jiang Zheng was just a dowry for a daughter-in-law in this mansion, and he had nothing to do with Wei Changying. It's great that Shen Zangfeng can allow his master and apprentice to stay at the front to recuperate.
He expressed his apology and thanks with doubts, and Shen Zangfeng responded calmly and sent him back... After Zhu Lei left and dismissed Huang and other confidants, Wei Changying hurriedly shook her husband's arm: "This Yu family? "
"Since Uncle Jiang has no other acquaintances around the Anshun Inn, Zhu Lei also said that his master is not a person who likes to socialize. It is unlikely that he will make friends with others outside of Zhu Lei's knowledge." Shen Zangfeng sneered and said , "According to what Anshun Inn and Zhu Lei said, Jiang Bo went to buy Hu cakes and was going back to the inn. Since he didn't go back to the inn, and there were no other acquaintances nearby except the Hu cake shop, he would go to the two streets. I bumped into the prince's guard of honor outside, and it was probably because the Yu family had entrusted me with something! It was probably an urgent matter, so I went to that street instead of sending the cake back to the inn! "
Wei Changying changed his expression and said, "Does this Yu family have anything to do with the prince?"
"This is just a possibility." Shen Zangfeng slowed down his tone and said, "The waiter at the inn is your dowry. Shen Ju personally inquired about it, so what he said should be credible. But Zhu Lei is not yours or mine, so it may not be true. Believable, it is also possible that he colluded with others to betray his master, and asked Uncle Jiang to do something on the street where the prince's honor guard passed before he went out. "
"But Uncle Jiang treats Zhu Lei like his own son..."
Shen Zangfeng shook his head: "This can only mean that Uncle Jiang will not be harmful to Zhu Lei, but it does not mean that Zhu Lei will be harmful to Uncle Jiang! Neither you nor I are familiar with this person, so just relying on my anxiety these past few hours is not believable. "
Wei Changying pondered for a moment and said: "Duanmu Xinmiao said that Uncle Jiang needed bone setting, and it was Zhu Lei who took over the bone setting. At that time, we all hid in the flower hall, and everyone except Zhu Lei gathered around to watch. Uncle Jiang was injured so badly, Zhu Lei only needed one mistake to make Uncle Jiang... I think he should be reliable? After all, Uncle Jiang was so kind to him, and Uncle Jiang was here, thinking about Uncle Jiang's face, I was more or less. I will take care of him a little bit. But if Uncle Jiang is gone, he may not have the same status as Uncle Jiang if he goes to find someone else."
"If you put it this way, Zhu Lei is still somewhat credible." Shen Zangfeng nodded slightly and said, "But we have to wait for the news from Zhang Pingxu."
Wei Changying couldn't help but ask: "You are investigating this matter, where is the prince?" In fact, there is no need to investigate this matter to know that the prince is deliberately retaliating. Otherwise, Jiang Zheng did not violate the prince's honor guard at all, why would the prince rely on him? ? Even if there is no problem with the Yu family, the person with the problem must be related to the prince.
And now the prince used the excuse that Jiang Zheng had hit him and left without mentioning Shen Zangfeng or Wei Changying. Obviously he didn't want to cause a big fuss. Wei Changying had previously heard from Shen Zangfeng that the prince's status was stable. Although he was extremely angry for Jiang Zheng, he had no hope of seeking justice for Jiang Zheng - after all, no matter how declining the Wei royal family was, the Shen family was still in the world today. in hand.
Not to mention that the prince made up an excuse for Jiang Zheng to rush into him. Even if there was no excuse, he rushed to the Anshun Inn and beat Jiang Zheng to death... So what
Jiang Zheng is just a commoner and a half-servant, but Shen Xun is the noble Crown Prince. Even if Wei Changying insists on taking revenge for his teachings, no one from the top to the bottom of the Wei family and the Shen family will agree to do so. of. Although a big family and a great cause are powerful, one must be more careful lest one mistake not affect the whole family.
At this moment, Shen Zangfeng wrote a message to Zhang Pingxu for the sake of the Yu family. He obviously wanted to get to the bottom of it. If the prince knew about it, wouldn't he be even more angry? Who knows how things will develop by then
"That's why we need to investigate like this when it involves the prince." Shen Zangfeng sneered. This was the first time that Wei Changying saw her husband look so cold, with no emotion in his eyes. He said calmly, "The Holy Master is old and doesn't want to be in the East Palace." Changes have occurred again, and now this prince, in all likelihood, is going to succeed the Holy Emperor as emperor. Now he is attacking our people before he ascends the throne, let alone after he ascends the throne? "
Wei Changying was shocked!
Shen Zangfeng continued expressionlessly, "This matter is serious and must be investigated immediately! If it's just the people around the prince who instigated the prince to be confused for a while, then let's just get rid of these scoundrels and find another loyal and good person." Just stay with the prince forever; if... this is the prince's own wish, while he is still the prince... our family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, how can we allow a dissolute and unscrupulous prince to be shaken!"
What he said was natural and there was no room for change, but Wei Changying was stunned when he heard it. He bit his lip and said for a long time: "This... this is too big. If you do this, don't you report it to your parents?" Shen Zangfeng The meaning is very clear. This time he made up an excuse to beat Jiang Zheng seriously. If it was the prince's own intention, then he would plan to abandon the prince!
Shen Zangfeng had never even met Jiang Zheng. It was impossible for him to be so angry that he wanted to plan such a big thing because of Jiang Zheng's serious injury. This could only be the trend of the situation. In terms of the cause and effect of the matter, it was nothing more than a dozen people bought from Jiangnan. The lotus-picking girl and a tutor, Jiang Zheng, have now turned into such a big deal as Yi Chu in a few words from Shen Zangfeng!
Wei Changying considered himself to be quite courageous, and he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed at this moment.
"Since I asked Shen Die to deliver the message, he will naturally go to his father to report it." Shen Zangfeng said indifferently, "The Wei Dynasty is now in decline, and the bandits everywhere are unable to exterminate them. The past decades of uninterrupted foreign aggression are enough... It’s a headache. If there is another prince who is bent on eradicating the family... "
At this point, Shen Zangfeng smiled, but stopped talking about the matter. He returned to his normal calm expression and said softly, "Just ask someone to come in and wait on you. It's time for us to have dinner."
... Wei Changying looked at him and said with a wry smile: "I just talked about such a big deal, and you can actually eat it?" (To be continued)
