Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 160 Who is the murderer?
As the sun set, Zheng Renji, who had been busy all day, dragged his tired body back to the mansion. When he reached the main hall, he was pulled aside by Zheng Liwan, who had been waiting there early.

"Father, you must be very tired after a busy day in Taicang. Wash up quickly, and then have dinner." It's those military rations that can't tolerate any mistakes.

Zheng Renji looked at his busy daughter, and couldn't help comforting him.In a few days, my daughter will enter the palace. Although the harem is dangerous, it should not be a big problem to protect herself with her wisdom.

"It can't be helped, as an official in charge of the military rations of the sixteen guards, there is still a big gap compared with the East Palace in terms of fire prevention, theft prevention, and moisture protection.

This Liu Shangshu spent a lot of energy borrowing a few people from Mr. Du, so that our people in the household department can follow suit.Do you think this kind of thing can be absent as a father?And you're going to get married soon, you can't let people say that we're just putting on airs just because we're married to the royal family, that's not good for your future. "

It's okay for him to be tired, but his daughter's reputation must never be ruined.Recently, he had heard a lot of rumors in the household department, saying that Zheng Renji had offered his daughter to the emperor in order to get promoted.

These scholar-bureaucrats are really ashamed to speak, and even Shangshu Liu Zheng doesn't give him the same heart-to-heart as before.

How could Zheng Liwan not know about her father's embarrassment, in front of such a small official, she would naturally be angry with those young people everywhere.One day, when I gain a firm foothold in the harem, I will definitely want my father to be prominent in front of others, just like the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Father is really wronged, let's eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

What is the grievance he has suffered? Those villains are just jealous.Zheng Renji looked at his daughter's guilty face, and couldn't help but comfort her a few words.

But when the father and daughter just sat down and were about to eat.Seeing Sun Fujia, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, rushing in with a lot of arrests.

"Master Zheng, please follow me to Dali Temple."

"Sun Shaoqing, I seem to be here to abide by the law. Is it too much for you to bring so many people into our house?"

The clay figurine still has a temper, not to mention Zheng Renji who has been exhausted after a long day of work.Besides, I didn't do anything wrong, so we won't be afraid even if it makes trouble to His Majesty.

"Master Zheng, summon your servant Wei Zheng. He handles the case according to the order. Don't you dare to disobey the imperial order?"

Although Sun Fujia didn't want to wade into this muddy water, who would let that strong command claim the destiny.And Zheng Renji's worth doubled overnight, and then fell back to his original form. He has seen a lot in Dali Temple for so many years.

By decree?what happened!I am quite diligent in my daily errands, why did I make trouble with His Majesty, and let Wei Zheng come to preside over me.

"Sun Shaoqing, for the sake of my colleagues, can you tell Zheng what happened?"

Looking at the bewildered Zheng Renji, Sun Fujia shook his wrinkled sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Someone sued you for killing Mr. Lu's family. That's all I can say, Mr. Zheng, don't let these brothers Difficult."

"I didn't kill anyone, so it's okay to go with you." Although Zheng Renji's words were tough, he was indeed drumming in his heart. Now that he found him, he must not hide the fact that Li Wan promised others. living. .
"Zheng Renji, what do you have to say about Lu's mother suing you for killing her son in order to cover up the past?" Wei Zheng asked bluntly while sitting in the hall.

What he looked down on the most in his life was this kind of person, not to mention mediocre skills, he would only use his own daughter to flatter and favor the emperor.Just look at the Sun family and you will know that she is just a concubine who has passed away, making trouble in Chang'an City.

"My lord Wei, the daughter of the lower official had a marriage contract with the son of the Lu family before, but it was terminated under the mediation of the British prince Li Ji. In this way, the two families have no relationship. What reason does the lower official have to kill!"

If people heard Zheng Renji's words, they might shy away from Li Ji's prestige, but who was Wei Zheng, he was the master who dared to scold the emperor in Tai Chi Palace.

"Zheng Renji, so you admit that your daughter was betrothed to the Lu family, and according to this official, when you accepted the dowry from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you did not report this situation. Then who can prove that you are not afraid of bullying the king?" The crime of killing and silence."

Wei Zheng's words hit the nail on the head, if it wasn't for the fear that someone with a heart would use this matter to label the Zheng family as a crime of deception, he wouldn't have let Li Ji talk about the divorce.

"My lord Wei, when the Minister of the Interior hired me, the daughter of the subordinate official was free. Whether she said anything or not was a private matter of the subordinate official. How could she be involved in the crime of deceiving the emperor? If you say that the subordinate official killed someone, please ask your lord." Then show the evidence."

Zheng Renji was going all out at this time, anyway, he didn't kill anyone, so he just pushed [-].

"Hehe, Zheng Renji. I didn't expect that you, who are usually honest and trustworthy, would become eloquent in order to get rid of the crime. This is the result of three days of investigation by the officer. Take a look!"

After speaking, Wei Zheng summoned the little official and gave Zheng Renji the results of his investigation.

It turned out that the young master of the Lu family disappeared on the day Li Ji retired the engagement.

A month later, a beggar found a decomposed male corpse in a long-abandoned yard, and the identity spy that the people in the Yamen found from the corpse belonged to the young master of the Lu family.

"Zheng Renji, according to my investigation, apart from you, the Lu family has never had any grievances with anyone. You said you didn't do this, who else?"

After Zheng Renji was invited away by Dali Temple, the red-eyed Zheng Liwan had to find Cen Wenwen's house after thinking about it.

First, he recommended his father to become an official in Beijing, and he also took good care of their family.

Secondly, he is the Minister of Zhongshu, a close minister of the emperor, and it will be much easier to have him come forward.

Cen Wenwen naturally comforted Zheng Liwan with kind words when he came to ask for help, and he fully agreed to deal with Zheng Renji.

But when Zheng Liwan left, Li Ke, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out with a smile.

"Teacher, if we help the Zheng family this time, we will not only win over Li Ji, but also let us drive a nail in the palace." After speaking, he sat down and poured himself a drink. Everything looks so beautiful.

But Cen Wenwen stood in front of the door, looking up at the stars all over the sky, without saying a word.

But who did it, could it be Li Ji?Hasn't he always been troubled by the fact that there is no one in the palace?Otherwise, how could he recommend himself as a junior sister to the queen.
