After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 317 Acting Together

In the dark cell, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Shen Su's chest heaved and panted heavily, so you are my daughter's husband-in-law. I thought you were a handsome young talent, but you actually served the regent.

Zhao Shun chuckled and leaned gently on the chair.

"So what about serving the Regent? His Royal Highness controls the court just like the emperor. We officials just need to work hard. Orthodoxy is not so important."

Shen Su's face was ugly, and he snorted coldly.

"What nonsense!"

Zhao Shun shook his head angrily, "My lord father-in-law, don't be so pedantic, you see that you are in my hands now, even if I want to let you go, the Lord Regent must nod, as long as you obey me Come, we can go home together, don't you want to see your daughter?"

Shen Su's expression became very moved, and her voice was slightly choked up, "Daughter, my daughter, I even forgot how many years I haven't seen him."

Seeing that Shen Su's mood was loose, Zhao Shun quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "By the way, our mother-in-law has also been taken to the house by us. As long as you go back, our family will be reunited."

Shen Su closed her eyes in pain, and asked tremblingly, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Shun sandwiched a confession, and said slowly: "Actually, someone came to report the crime just now, saying that he witnessed the murderer who was killed by the Imperial Army."

Shen Su suddenly opened his eyes, "Since that's the case, you should understand that the murderer is not me, so don't let me out."

Zhao Shunjiang's testimony was slapped on the table, and he shook his head with a smile: "Actually, you and I both understand that it doesn't matter who the murderer is. This is just a test of the Lord Regent's loyalty to me."

The face of the jailer behind Zhao Shun changed, it turned out that he had already seen through.

The charcoal brazier in the cell emitted orange light, reflecting on Zhao Shun's face.

He slowly opened his mouth and continued: "If my father-in-law doesn't cooperate with me, I'll cut off your head to prove my loyalty, but for your daughter's sake, I have been sitting here patiently talking to you. "

"I see what you mean, tell me what do you want from me?"

Shen Su let out a long sigh, with a compromising loneliness on his face.

"Very well, it would be great if my father-in-law cooperated earlier, so that I would not suffer so much flesh and blood."

Zhao Shun got up slowly, came to Shen Su's side, looked at him and said, "If your father-in-law wants to live, show your sincerity to the Lord Regent, so that I can come to him to intercede for you."

At this moment, Shen Su no longer resisted, and whispered the content of the plan in front of Zhao Shun verbatim.

Zhao Shun's performance was like a film king possessed, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Okay, okay, this is really great news."

After a big laugh, Zhao Shun's orange was rampant, and he put his hand on Shen Su's shoulder and patted Shen Su's shoulder with no respect for his elders.

"Father-in-law, please wait, I will enter the palace to intercede for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shunbian turned around and left the cell, got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

The snow in the capital keeps falling, and it seems that it will never be shoveled clean.

On the pavement of the street, the snowflakes have been crushed into thick ice.

Ergou drove the carriage cautiously and arrived at the gate of the palace.

The man got out of the carriage and declared his identity, and the eunuch in the palace rushed to report.

The whole process is very long, and it takes half an hour just to come and go.

When Yu Wenji learned that Zhao Shun was coming, he showed a wicked smile.

"Our No. [-] scholar has come to hand in the paper. I hope his answer paper can satisfy me as well as in the palace examination."

The chief eunuch Gao Bing laughed, as if everything was like a fleeting drama in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhao Shun came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty has met His Royal Highness the Regent."

"Exemption."

Yu Wenji waved his sleeve and looked at Zhao Shun deeply.

"Did Zhao Aiqing ask about Shen Su's case?"

"Exactly." Zhao Shun replied.

Yu Wenji snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Your father-in-law is so bold that he dared to attack and kill the imperial guards in the street. If I didn't value you a lot, I would have chopped him down a long time ago."

After Zhao Shun heard this, he sneered in his heart again and again, this Yu Wenji was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he was so aggressive, he really was a brazen person.

After saluting respectfully, Zhao Shun praised sincerely: "His Royal Highness, the Regent, has a benevolent heart and gave me the opportunity to investigate. I am very grateful."

"It's good that you understand." Yuwenji said in a reasonable tone, leaning back against the gold-plated chair, "Then how is your investigation going?"

"Report to His Royal Highness Zheng Wang, there is no doubt that Shen Su was responsible for this case." Zhao Shun replied with a heavy tone.

Yu Wenji raised his eyebrows, very satisfied with Zhao Shun's answer.

"Although this king really wants to show mercy to your father-in-law, the law will not show mercy. I'm afraid you will kill him this time."

Zhao Shun's face showed grief, and he cupped his hands hastily.

"His Royal Highness, before my minister came here, I had a heart-to-heart talk with the criminal Shen Su. He is willing to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, and seek refuge with His Highness. I wonder if he can spare his life."

"Oh? Contributing crimes and meritorious deeds?" Yu Wenji chuckled, "How does he want to commit crimes and meritorious deeds?"

Zhao Shun raised his head expectantly, "I would like to report to His Royal Highness the Regent, according to what the criminal Shen Su said, there is an inner ghost who has taken refuge in Xiao Xuangu under His Royal Highness's command."

What Yu Wenji hates the most is betrayal, and when he heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Who is he?"

"It's the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Shen chasing Master Shen." Zhao Shun said without hesitation.

"Shen Zhui?" Yu Wenji was puzzled when he heard this name, Shen Zhui was loyal to him, although he was a bit lazy, he never showed signs of betrayal.

"Do you have evidence?" Yu Wenji's eyes flickered.

"According to what the criminal Shen Su said, Mr. Shen and General Xiao have a lot of correspondence. Last year, a secret passage was dug in the mansion to communicate with the general's mansion. The two often talked in secret in the secret passage."

At this point, Zhao Shun paused, "As for the truth and falsehood of these words, His Royal Highness may have to raid and inspect the Minister's Mansion and the General Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment."

Yu Wenji would not be soft on things like tracking down the inner ghost, he looked at the eunuch Gao Bing coldly.

"You go to the Central Pavilion to move an imperial decree, in the name of the little emperor, to conduct a surprise inspection of the General's Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu's Mansion."

Gao Bing cupped his hands and agreed with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, if this matter is verified, how will we deal with it?"

Yu Wenji sneered, "This king may have nothing to do with Xiao Xuangu, but if Shen Zhui, find a reason to kill him, this king does not raise dogs that eat inside and out."

Yuwen was extremely aggressive and lost his composure, and it took a while to calm down.

He glanced at Zhao Shun and said, "If this matter is verified, it will be considered a great achievement for you, and your father-in-law's charges will be canceled at that time."

Zhao Shun hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, the regent, that humble minister will leave first."
