Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 148
Soon after, Chu Yintai heard about the marriage between Feng Sheng and Xin Shishiniang.

He was also a little puzzled about this, and he heard that Xin Shi Niang was beautiful, and he wanted to visit the house to see it, so he prepared a gift and came to visit.

At first, Xin Shishiniang avoided seeing her.

But Chu Yintai said that Feng Sheng was not interesting enough, he didn't even notify him of the marriage, and he didn't even know what the bride looked like.

So Feng Sheng called Xin Shishiniang to come out for a ceremony.

After Chu Yintai left, Xin Shishiniang warned her husband, "This man has ape eyes and a eagle nose. He is not a good person, so we should not associate with him for a long time."

Feng Sheng agreed on the surface, but disagreed in his heart.

After all, when you are classmates, it is impossible for you to get in and out without any reason.

Not long after, a classmate invited him to a party. It was rare for Chu Yintai to attend such a party on weekdays, but this time he came early.

In this kind of gathering, everyone will inevitably have to fight poems, comment on each other's articles and so on.

Chu Yintai triumphantly read a new song of his own, and everyone praised it... However, Feng Sheng didn't bother to flatter him, so he put forward some opinions positively, which made Chu Yintai very unhappy.

Among all the classmates, Feng Sheng's literature is recognized as the number one, and Mr. Lian also thinks so, saying that Feng Sheng will definitely be able to go to high school in the future.

After returning home, Feng Sheng told his wife this incident as a joke while chatting.

"It's ridiculous that those people only know how to flatter and flatter Chu Yintai..."

After hearing this, Xin Shishiniang couldn't help but frowned, and persuaded: "Mr. Chu is definitely not a kind person. If you refute his face in person like this, he must hold a grudge. You'd better not get together with him in the future."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

The lady reminded again that Feng Sheng also took it to heart, and tried to avoid Chu Yintai in the future gatherings.

I really can't avoid it, and try to talk as little as possible, so as not to accidentally offend that guy.

"After a while, Mr. Chu personally came to invite my husband to come to the house for a party, saying it was his birthday.

Mr. Xiang left without making excuses, but who would have thought that by going...he would become a murderer..."

Hearing Xin Shishiniang's words, Ning Caichen thought for a while and asked, "Has Feng Sheng ever been to the Chu Mansion before?"

"Been there twice before."

"Then does he know the concubine who was killed?"

Xin Shishiniang shook her head: "I'm not very clear about this... My parents came here when they found out about this matter, and said they wanted to ask my husband-in-law out, but I didn't agree.

If you use magic to save him, you will break the laws of the world.

Moreover, my husband will not be able to see anyone in this life, so he can only hide and bear the crime of murder for the rest of his life. "

Hearing this, Ning Caichen couldn't help feeling admiration, cupped his hands and said: "You are such a strange woman, to tell you the truth, my wife is not human..."

"Ah? Is your wife a fox too?" Yue'er asked curiously.

"No..." Ning Caichen shook his head: "She is a female ghost."

"Girl ghost?"

"Yes, her name is Xiaolan, but she is much better now, she can come out in broad daylight, and she is not much different from normal people."

Hearing this, Xin Shishiniang couldn't help but said, "Could it be that your husband helped her?"

"En!" Ning Caichen nodded: "Sir and teacher's wife have taught her some cultivation methods, and if she persists in cultivation, she will be completely reborn."

After chatting for a while, Ning Caichen said again: "How about this, I will go to the prison and ask Feng Sheng carefully, get more details, and see if there is any way to reverse the case for him."

"Thank you, Lord Ning, thank you!"

Xin Shishiniang was very grateful and thanked her repeatedly.

That night, Ning Caichen came to the death row.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to enter the death row, either because they have a relationship, or they have money.

But Ning Caichen is the official of the government government, so the jailer naturally dare not make things difficult.

"Open the cell door, I want to ask the prisoner something."

"Yes, my lord."

After entering, Ning Caichen ordered the jailer to avoid, and then walked to Feng Sheng who was curled up in the corner.

"Are you Feng Sheng?"

Feng Sheng looked up at Ning Caichen, but said nothing.

Ning Caichen knelt down and whispered, "Don't worry, I've already been to your house."

"Huh?" Feng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily, "What do you want to do? Don't disturb my family."

"I was entrusted by your wife to find a way to save you."

Feng Sheng smiled coldly: "Save me? Hehe, the world is as black as crows. Are you entrusted by Chu Yintai?"

"My official, Ning Caichen, is the newly appointed official."

"Master Ning?" Feng Sheng's eyes lit up: "You are the student of the Marquis of Jing'an, Ning Caichen, Master Ning?"

"Not bad!"

Sure enough, Mr.'s name is still easy to use.

"My lord, please forgive Xiaosheng's rudeness!" Feng Sheng hurriedly apologized.

"Hehe, there is no need to be formal, I am here to know some secrets and more details, and see if I can reverse the case for you.

Tell me about what happened that night in detail, the more detailed the better. "

Feng Sheng nodded, and talked about what happened that night while recalling.

"That night, Chu Yintai invited many classmates and friends and prepared a sumptuous banquet.

During the banquet, there were more than a dozen singers and dancers to add to the fun.Later, another beautiful woman came to salute everyone, saying thank you for congratulating Chu Yintai on his birthday.

Chu Yintai introduced to everyone, saying that this is his little mother, that is, his father's concubine.

At that time, several of our classmates were still discussing in private, feeling that the demeanor between Chu Yintai and his little mother seemed a bit intimate.

Of course, everyone didn't think too much about it, and the right was just a drink..."

"Later, two divas sat next to me and took turns persuading me to drink. They also said that they admired my poetry..."

Speaking of this, Feng Sheng was a little embarrassed and said: "A man, he is somewhat vain in front of beauties, and he drank a few more glasses when he was happy..."

"Later, the lady from Chu Yintai also came to offer me a toast. I can't remember exactly what she said, but it was just words of thanks..."

"When the banquet was over, some classmates saw me walking staggeringly, so they offered to take me home.

As a result, Chu Yintai said that there are plenty of rooms in the mansion, so it's better to stay overnight.

So those classmates left and left, I was really dizzy at the time, so I let the servants take me to the room to rest..."

"I don't know how long I slept, and I just woke up feeling a bit chilly. But I was surprised to find that... I didn't wear anything...

Stretching out his hand to feel around, he found a person lying beside him.

At that time, I also slowly got used to the light in the room, and faintly saw that it was a woman...

At first I thought it was Chu Yintai's kindness who arranged for a singer and dancer to accompany her.

But when he took a closer look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

That was not a singer at all, but Chu Yintai's young lady. Although she was wearing clothes, she had been ripped to pieces.

What was even more frightening was that she was already dead, with a hairpin still stuck in her neck, and the pillow was covered in blood.

At that time, I couldn't think about it anymore, I yelled and jumped out of bed at the same time..."

"Not long after, Chu Yintai ran over and insisted that I was the one who rebelled against my sex, and tried to defile his little mother, but failed, so I became angry and murdered..."

After listening to Feng Sheng's speech, Ning Caichen sorted it out carefully, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm afraid this case will be difficult to turn over. After all, you were drunk at the time, and many classmates testified. The one named Chu can definitely say You're drunk and sexual."

"It's not..." Feng Sheng smiled bitterly: "That's what he said at the time."

"The point is, you have no good evidence. Your classmates will only prove that you drank too much.

Then what happened next was in the Chu family, and all the witnesses were from the Chu family, and all the evidence is against you.

The important thing is that the case has been judged, you have been sentenced, and you will be executed after autumn.Plus the relationship with the Chu family... well, I'm afraid it's..."

Hearing this, Feng Sheng also sighed: "It's okay, I've accepted my fate, your lord is right, I really can't find strong evidence.

My lord, Xiaosheng begs you for one thing, please tell my lord to tell Fourteen Niang, let her take Yue'er back to her mother's house.

The reason why that surnamed Chu harmed me was that he wanted Fourteen Niang to beg him...

I don't want Fourteenth Niang to be involved in disputes in the world. I have had such a relationship with her as a husband and wife, and I will die without regret. "

Hearing Feng Sheng's words, Ning Caichen's heart fluttered.

From Feng Sheng's body, he seemed to see himself back then.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Caichen couldn't help saying: "I'm ashamed to say that, as an official of the imperial court, I know that you have wronged, but I can't defend you.

Feng Sheng, don't worry, this case is settled by the official, even if you take off the black gauze, you will get justice for you. "

"grown ups……"

"Okay, let's do this first. When I go back, I will sort out my thoughts and come to you when I make progress."

After speaking, Ning Caichen turned and left the cell.

After returning, Ning Caichen looked through the files again, and secretly investigated all clues related to the case.

The more investigation, the more difficult it is to find the case.

The forces of the Chu family are intertwined, and it is impossible for him to bring down the Chu family in Guangping Mansion by himself.

At that time, I am afraid that the Chu family has not been overthrown, but he himself will be planted first.

In desperation, Ning Caichen finally wrote a letter to her husband...

A few days later, Zhou Yu brought Ying Ning to Guangping Mansion.

Originally, he planned to come alone, but when Ying Ning heard that Xin Shi Shi Niang was also a fox girl, she got excited and said that she must go to get to know each other.

Under the leadership of Ning Caichen, a group of three came to Feng Sheng's house.

"Fourteen Niang, this is my husband!"

As soon as we met, Ning Caichen took the initiative to introduce.

Xin Shishiniang was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurriedly brought Yue'er to greet her.

After seeing the ceremony, Ying Ning smiled and ran forward to look at Fourteen Niang: "You look not much older than me, and you are already married."

Fourteen Niang smiled shyly.

"My name is Ying Ning, don't worry, since my husband is here, there must be a way to reverse the case for your husband."

Zhou Yu hadn't said anything yet, but this girl let her talk out first.

Next, Zhou Yu also asked about the situation in detail, and finally said: "By the way, has that person surnamed Chu pestered you recently?"

Fourteen Niang sighed: "He didn't come, but he sent people to threaten him every three days..."

It really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

At this moment, a man with the appearance of a master broke into the backyard with a servant.

"Hey, why are you here again?"

Yue'er stepped forward angrily and asked.

"Yo, do you have any guests?"

The other party squinted at Zhou Yu and his party.

"What's none of your business?" Fourteen Niang said angrily.

"Hehe, don't be aggressive with me. I came here to tell you that the prison is not safe and clean. Maybe one day your husband eats something unclean and dies. That would be bad."

"Presumptuous!" Ning Caichen couldn't help scolding: "Go back and tell Chu, if he dares to act recklessly, don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing that Ning Caichen claimed to be the official, the man who looked like a master was stunned, and his eyes rolled: "Are you the new Mr. Ning?"

Ning Caichen said coldly: "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

"Hehe, it seems that it is Master Ning, the villain is rude. Since Master Ning is here, I will not bother you, let me leave."

After speaking, the two turned around and left.

As soon as the two of them left, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really arrogant."

Ying Ning frowned and said, "Sir, then they won't really do something wrong?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Not for the time being, Chu Yintai wants to use Feng Sheng to threaten Fourteen Niang, even if it is a black hand, at worst it will make Feng Sheng suffer."

Fourteen Niang then said: "I've already done the calculations, Feng Sheng's life is not in danger for the time being, but Mr. is right, some suffering is inevitable, and this is also his fate."

At this time, Yue'er couldn't help laughing and said: "A few days ago, Miss made a divination, saying that although my uncle is in danger, fortunately, there are noble people to help.

It seems quite accurate, aren't Lord Hou and Lord Ning the nobles? "

"Yue'er, don't talk too much."

"Yes, miss..."

At this time, Ning Caichen couldn't help asking: "Sir, the students have reached a dead end now, and I don't know how to resolve this case, please give me your advice."

Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Since this road doesn't work, why don't you think of another road?"

Ning Caichen was stunned: "Any other way?"

"That's right, according to what you said, I thought the relationship between that concubine and Chu Yintai was not simple.

Also, why was she the one who died?Instead of a maid in the mansion or something?Have you ever thought about this? "

"This……"

"Caichen, you have to relax your thinking a bit when you do anything, don't push yourself into a dead end.

Some trivial things that seem to have nothing to do with the case may be the key to solving the case. "

Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "Sir, the lesson is that the students should be taught!"

"Now, you have to start from many aspects, one is to secretly investigate the origin of that concubine and the relationship with Chu Yintai.

Second, find out what the Chu family has done. It is best to find out some conclusive evidence that is not good for the Chu family and make them burn out.

When you are in a hurry, maybe you will show your feet..."

"Yes, yes, sir, that's very good!"

Ning Caichen was overwhelmed with surprise, and his thoughts suddenly opened up.

Next, Ning Caichen began to secretly inquire about the life experience and origin of the concubine named Xiao Taohong, as well as her relationship with Chu Yintai, according to what her husband said.

At the same time, they also began to investigate what the Chu family did in Guangping Mansion...

Of course, since Zhou Yu and Ying Ning had already arrived, they were also secretly helping to find out.

As if God has eyes, at this moment, a guy named Ah Shui bumped into Ning Caichen's hands.

This Ah Shui is a servant of the Chu family, and also the nephew of the housekeeper of the Chu family. He usually fights with others and is extremely majestic...
