Chapter 247 Wang Mang is humble
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see whether Yujia will appear in Daming Mansion on August [-]th, and you will know when the time comes."

Tang Peng was silent for a while, "Cheng Yingzhou and Mrs. Jia Guo are still watching in the capital, can you really guarantee that there will be no problems?"

"Of course, Cheng Yingzhou is focused on the defense of the palace, and he can't get away for the time being." He mumbled in a muffled voice, "Speaking of Mrs. Jia, do you know what it means?"

Another note was thrown in behind the screen, and Tang Peng asked, "What is this?"

"We intercepted the letter from Jingwei sentry point to Mrs. Jia, but we don't understand the meaning. Can you understand it?" said in a muffled voice.

Tang Peng read it again, and threw the note back, "The handwriting is unfamiliar, and the meaning is incomprehensible. Probably only the person who wrote the letter and Mrs. Jia Guo could understand the meaning. But if it is true that your man succeeded as you said, then This letter must have been called to the police.”

He said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, it's not important. Mrs. Jia Guogong and the military guards are indeed in trouble, but the queen is not in Beijing. This trouble has been resolved tonight."

"Tonight?" Tang Peng wondered, "The 'success' you mentioned includes the queen?"

"Of course," the other party chuckled, "Cooperate or not, that's a word."

Tang Peng closed his eyes and struggled, and said for a while, "See if Yujia will show up at the Daming Mansion on August [-]th. If not, let's discuss a plan together."

The muffled voice said: "Okay, have fun. When the big thing is over, I will help you find your mother."

Tang Peng said: "Don't make big talk, just focus on your eyes."

Jiang Feng changed his clothes and asked Xiaying to pack some medicine and food to go to Li Yuanzhen's mansion.Xiaying wanted to go with her, Jiang Feng said: "Don't go, in case someone from the military guards of the government comes looking for me, you go and talk to me again."

Jiang Feng went out to Li's house, and when he got off the car, he saw that Li Yuanzhen's mansion was pitch-black. Jiang Feng asked, "Didn't Madam Li's illness get better a while ago?"

The maid of the Li family bowed and said: "Returning to Mrs. Jia Guogong, our wife's illness is much better. Some time ago, our uncle and grandma wrote a letter, saying that we would pick up the girl to go to the office and visit the two families by the way, because the wife is better. The girl went there. Who knows that she suddenly became heavy again recently, and the medical officer came to see her, and she took medicine, but it didn’t work.”

Jiang Feng thought to himself, Ye Lanzhi admits that he is willing to marry the Prince of Yonghe County, so who does he care about?Could it be that the Li family was dissatisfied with this marriage, so they asked: "That is to say, your girl is not in Beijing now?"

The maid said: "That's right. Our wife heard that Xiangye was ill, and she was so anxious that there was no one around to comfort her."

Talking about walking into the upper room, it was still pitch black, the maid said: "Our wife's illness is afraid of making noise, so the slaves dare not go in. Please come in, Mrs. Jia Guogong, Mrs. Jia Guogong, I'm sorry."

Jiang Feng smiled, "It's okay."

Jiang Feng stepped into the upper room, and it was quiet, with only one candle in front of the screen.Jiang Feng said: "Mrs. Li, I am the one who is here. How is Madam?" As he spoke, he walked around the screen, only to see Mrs. Li Yuanzhen lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Jiang Feng was shocked, and went up to check, only to see a dagger stuck in Madam Li's chest, but fortunately it was not inserted deep, and Madam Li was still breathing.While Jiang Feng was investigating, he was about to call for help, but a bloody hand covered his mouth.

Jiang Feng broke free and shouted, "Come on..." Before he could finish shouting, that hand tried to cover Jiang Feng's mouth again.

Jiang Feng broke free and yelled again, Madam Li suddenly let go, moved closer to Jiang Feng, her lips twitched.

Jiang Feng leaned his head to listen, and Mrs. Li said intermittently: "Yes... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Jiang Feng said: "What did you say? What do you mean?"

At this time, the servants of Li's mansion, together with several women in Chinese clothes who came in a hurry, rushed into the house with lanterns.Just as Jiang Feng was about to call for a doctor, Mrs. Li's bloody hand suddenly pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "Why...why...why kill me!"

Jiang Feng was stunned. Madam Li wanted to hug her, but she dodged subconsciously. For some reason, Madam Li turned her side to block everyone's sight. The dagger was deeply inserted into Madam Li's heart. Jiang Feng watched Madam Li die in despair.

The people in the house shouted, and a woman in a fancy dress rushed forward and hugged Mrs. Li, shouting: "Killer! Quick! Come and catch her! Hurry up and report to the police!"

The servants of Li's mansion rushed in, pointed at Jiang Feng with a knife, and came forward in a circle. Jiang Feng took out the token of the mansion guard and said, "Wait a minute!" His wife's sister-in-law Mrs. Qing Yunbo.When Ye Lanzhi joined the Li family, the two met many times.

Both of them turned pale with shock at the moment, Mrs. Qingyun said: "You...how could it be you?!"

Mrs. Li's blood was all over Jiang Feng's clothes, "I didn't kill her!"

There was another woman in a fancy dress behind her, who presumably was a member of the Li family, pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "You were identified on the spot! What are you still arguing about?!"

Jiang Feng ignored it, and only asked Mrs. Uncle Qingyun, "Is it Mrs. Li who invited you to visit her sick?"

Mrs. Qing Yunbo's complexion was extremely complicated, "Yes. Why did you kill her?"

Jiang Feng said: "It was Mrs. Li who came to my mansion to ask me to come over to see her illness. After I came in, Mrs. Li was stabbed and fell to the ground!"

Mrs. Qing Yunbo questioned, "Then why did she point at you and ask why you wanted to kill her?!"

Jiang Feng's mind was buzzing, and the words Mrs. Li said before she died kept flashing, "Yes... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

It's an inning!

Jiang Feng said: "If I killed the person, why did I call for help just now?"

People from Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion heard about the murder in Li's house, and they rushed to Li's house when the situation in the imperial capital was turbulent.The relatives of the Li family testified that Jiang Feng had killed Mrs. Li, saying that Mrs. Li had accused Jiang Feng of killing Mrs. Li before she died. The attendants of the Li family and the wives heard it.Jiang Feng calmed down for a while, and then said: "Mrs. Li sent someone to Duke Jia's mansion to invite me to visit Li's illness. There is a letter and the servants of Mr. Jia's mansion as evidence. When I came in, Mrs. Li had already been stabbed to the ground Damn, I didn't kill her. I cried out for help when I found out she was stabbed."

The relatives of the Li family said: "But she testified that you killed her before she died!"

Jiang Feng said again: "I repeat, I called for help before she died. I believe someone outside must have heard it. If I killed someone, why did I call for help? The murderer of Mrs. Li was someone else."

Mrs. Qingyun said: "Then why did she identify you in the end?"

Jiang Feng said: "I don't know. But I have never had any enmity with the Li family. Why would I kill people in such a blatant manner? It is obvious that someone has framed them." After speaking, he took a step back and said to the soldiers and horses: "I can tell you Let's go. However, Mrs. Li Xiang was killed, and such a big case, can you Xicheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion decide?"

She has lived in Jingwei for a long time, and her power has grown. This question does not seem like Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion are arresting the murderer, but rather like she is interrogating the prisoner.The visitor flinched, and Jiang Feng said again: "If you can't interrogate, hand it over."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and followed Bingmasi and the people from Jingzhao Mansion to go out, without turning his head, he said: "I ask Mrs. Qing Yunbo to think about it."

Shen Jiangdong and Fan Ziran met at night to discuss how the imperial capital should respond if the Yujia August Festival did not appear in the Daming Mansion.As soon as Fan Ziran left, Shen Jiangdong heard the news of the accident in Li's residence.

An hour later, the hallway of the North Prison of the Criminal Division was brightly lit, illuminating the face of Yue Wenkang, the servant of the Criminal Division, so pale and yellow. Jiang Feng sat opposite Yue Wenkang, expressionless.

In the past, Jiang Feng and Yue Wenkang worked together under the criminal secretary Yang Wanquan, and later they joined forces to cut off the dark lines of the imperial capital and Dingfan. Although Yue Wenkang was honest, he had always had a good relationship with the Jiaguo Mansion.

Shen Jiangdong rushed in and saw the strange scene, he took a step back silently, Yue Wenkang hurriedly stood up to salute.

Shen Jiangdong said: "Young Minister Yue is polite."

Jiang Feng said, "Why are you here?"

"I have been to Li's house, and I know that Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion will not dare to interrogate, and will definitely hand it over to the Criminal Division, but I didn't expect that it would be handed over to the Criminal Division so quickly." Shen Jiangdong said, "Where is Yang Shangshu? ?”

Yue Wenkang said dryly, "I'm sick."

This is Yang Wanquan's usual trick, Shen Jiangdong has nothing to say, Shen Jiangdong said: "When you entered Mrs. Li's door, did you find anything unusual?"

"Except for Mrs. Li, there is nothing abnormal," Jiang Feng said, "Before Mrs. Qing Yunbo and the others entered the door, the last thing Mrs. Li said to me was 'I'm sorry'."

Shen Jiangdong and Yue Wenkang changed their colors at the same time, Jiang Feng said: "What's wrong with Li Xiang and why Miss Li was sent out of Beijing, it's worth investigating, right?"

Yue Wenkang got up, bowed, and left, leaving only Shen Jiangdong and his wife behind. Jiang Feng said: "Yuanxi, don't worry. I don't have a motive for killing. This case can be investigated slowly, slowly, and the truth can always be found out. Maybe I Here, it’s safer than staying in the military guards. Outside matters, it’s up to you.”

She stuffed the token of the military guard of the government into Shen Jiangdong's hand, and whispered: "This is a trap specially set up to trap me. Give the token to General Cheng and tell him that Li's family has falsely accused me of being a clue. Check it out. There is a gold workshop, don't give up."

Shen Jiangdong said anxiously: "This matter is full of doubts, you shouldn't go with the soldiers and horses, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Feng said, "Let the military guards of the government and the soldiers and horses fight on the street in front of Li's mansion? The last time I was arrested and who said I killed someone, I haven't found it yet. One time he framed me for killing Tang Peng, Tang Peng is dead or not, it is obvious to all, Yuan Xi, don't mess yourself up."

Seeing this, Shen Jiangdong had no choice but to hold tightly the token of the military guard Jiang Feng handed over, "I will find clues as soon as possible."

"No," Jiang Feng said, "don't be trapped by the Li family for the clues you're looking for. What you're looking for is the people behind Xiao Xu. Also, there will definitely be objections from the court if the Bing Ma Si avoids the Jingzhao Mansion. Yuanxi, let the Li family bite this case, the tighter they bite, the safer I will be."

Shen Jiangdong nodded, Jiang Feng said: "Trap me, the next one is you, have you thought about how to get out?"

Shen Jiangdong sighed, "You have an accident, I am naturally anxious, and when I am anxious, I will suffer from old illnesses again. This is the only reason I can think of right now."

Jiang Feng said: "Alright, you should go see General Cheng first."

Shen Jiangdong heard the words and said: "You..."

Jiang Feng said: "I'm safe here. Right now, apart from the underworld, there is no place safer than here."

Shen Jiangdong left the Criminal Division without going to Cheng Yingzhou first, but rode his horse to the residence of Yang Wanquan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

This famous clay sculpture minister was sickly and cautious all his life, even his mansion was very poor.Shen Jiangdong rushed in alone, and the servant said cautiously: "Master, please wait later, our master has fallen asleep..."

Shen Jiangdong ignored it, strode into the main hall, grabbed the confused Yang Wanquan from the armchair with both hands, and said in a very light tone, "Hello, Mr. Yang."

Yang Wanquan was taken aback, "Why is Duke Jia Jia Jia here?"

Shen Jiangdong has always been gentle and polite, and has never behaved abnormally towards the six subordinates today, "Why did I come, Yang Shangshu doesn't know?"

Yang Wanquan saw that he was very cold and serious, his eyes seemed to fly out of knives, so he didn't dare to speak, Shen Jiangdong looked at him like an eagle watching its prey, "Yang Shangshu is a senior, and Shen has always respected him. I heard that my father-in-law was in Beijing back then. When I was working, I relied on Yang Shangshu’s appreciation, and I also heard that my wife was also thanks to Yang Shangshu and his wife’s care in the criminal department. You know why you asked my wife to investigate the Fuzhou case in Xining 17 years ago. The Guofu has never settled with you. The Criminal Division took over the murder case of the Li Fu so quickly today. What is your Yang Shangshu thinking? Shen has no interest. But I still want to remind you Yang Wanquan, my Jiaguo Mansion is not to be rubbed by others dough."

He pushed Yang Wanquan back into the chair, Yang Wanquan wanted to explain, Shen Jiangdong turned around and sneered, "Farewell!" He strode away and went to Jinwu Guard to find Cheng Yingzhou.

When Cheng Yingzhou heard that Mrs. Li Yuanzhen had been killed and Jiang Feng was accused of being the murderer, he almost jumped up.Shen Jiangdong said: "This is clearly a situation. Your Majesty has never believed in it. Some people can't hold back and are going to attack."

Cheng Yingzhou took the token of the military guard and said, "Miss Yuan is not in Beijing either. I will go to Jigu Pavilion and check Li Xiang's residence immediately."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Of course the mansion of Li Yuanzhen needs to be investigated, but the other party should be aware that choosing Li's mansion to attack will reveal clues, so they should take precautions, so the clues from Jingongfang are more important."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "I understand." After speaking, he bowed and left.

On August [-]th, the murder of Mrs. Jia's wife spread like wildfire, and it was discussed everywhere.Mrs. Uncle Chengping was the first to visit Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng chose not to see him because he was afraid of bringing her danger.Mrs. Cheng Ping then went to Li's mansion to see Mrs. Qing Yun.Although the female relatives of the various families whispered to each other when they came to mourn Mrs. Li, and although Jiang Feng's reputation in the circle of the wives of the imperial family was not virtuous, everyone raised a question in unison - Jiang Feng really had no motive for killing.

After Yining Palace learned that Jiang Feng was arrested, he immediately summoned Shen Jiangdong. Shen Jiangdong went to Yining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

Shen Jiangdong is now in a hurry, and he can't laugh or cry when he hears the empress dowager say this.He is a child of a family, he was often banned in the palace when he was young, and later he became the general of Jingwei. The empress dowager regarded him as his nephew, so he spoke very casually, "What's going on?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "Mother, this is a situation full of loopholes. The wife has no motive for killing at all. It is impossible to frame her. The other party did this just to trap her in a hurry."
