Devil's Concubine

Chapter 163: Going to jail, everyone has their own ghosts (2)
"It can't be said to be a cover-up, right? Is there any evidence to prove that Chu Yunshang killed the person? Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will be punished." Empress Chen angrily reprimanded, but the smile on her face did not diminish.

The middle-aged maid also smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right, it's the servant girl who is talking too much."

Empress Chen nodded in satisfaction, and waved her hand to signal the middle-aged maid to leave. As soon as the middle-aged maid left, the lazy and charming smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"Mo Xiuzhu, although there is an agreement between me and you, if you can't handle it this time, don't blame me for taking action against you."

An inaudible sentence came out of Empress Chen's mouth. She immediately got up and walked back. King Hong should wake up from his afternoon nap at this time, so she had to go and have a look.

The matter of Zhang Kuan's death fermented rapidly and intensified.

The prime minister's mansion was full of sadness and pain, and the black coffin placed in the hall of the prime minister's mansion was particularly eye-catching.

Five days had passed, and Zhang Kuan's body hadn't been buried yet. This in itself was extremely impolite, but before the murderer was found, Zhang Linfu had a great reason to put the coffin here.

The black coffin had a faint air-conditioning, which was different from the condolences of people coming and going here a few days ago. A few days later, the prime minister's mansion was also deserted. Occasionally, some officials from other places came to express their condolences. Stay far away, don't dare to get too close to the coffin, as if it is not a coffin, but a powder keg that can explode at any time!

Isn't Mingyue City just like a powder keg now?

"My lord prime minister, the son is dead, please be patient and don't hurt your body." Someone said some comforting words.

There was no expression on Zhang Linfu's old-fashioned and thin cheeks. In just a few days, half of his head turned white, and his face became more and more inhuman, like a zombie, giving off a very sinister aura.

"Zhongyuan, I know what you mean, but the dog's bones are not cold, how can I really mourn? White-haired people send black-haired people, is there really no justice in this world?"

Zhang Linfu sighed, the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly, and said excitedly.

The man said again: "No matter what, the dead are the greatest, it's better to go to the ground to rest in peace. You can't let the son die and not rest in peace."

Zhang Linfu waved his hand, and angrily reprimanded: "If the murderer is not found out, the dog will not be able to rest in peace. Don't say too much about this, or don't blame me for driving you out."

The man immediately fell silent, and the people next to him were panting and did not dare to speak.

Zhang Linfu has always been a strict person. He does not form cliques or cliques. He has been an official for many years. Wenchen.

And precisely because of this, he has also offended many people over the years and made enemies all over the court. If it weren't for his high morals and high prestige, he would probably have lost his glory at this time.

Another explanation for integrity is pedantry and rigidity, which, in this matter, is vividly reflected in Zhang Linfu.

Beside Zhang Linfu, kneeling a little farther away, are Zhang Kuan's wife and a group of concubines. Zhang Linfu is a Confucian official who highly respects the etiquette of the previous dynasty. There is one official wife, two equal wives and four concubines. This point has been inherited and carried forward infinitely by his son Zhang Kuan.

Zhang Kuan also has one official wife and two equal wives, but there are more than a dozen concubines. These people are either greedy for the family background of the prime minister, or are forcibly occupied by Zhang Kuan by various means, but no matter what kind of Zhang Linfu turned a blind eye to this situation.

In the patriarchal world, Zhang Linfu has always taken these things for granted, and although he has many wives and concubines, he has very few children. Apart from Zhang Kuan, he only has a youngest son who is less than ten years old. Therefore, Regarding Zhang Kuan's death, he was extremely brooding, and no one would give him face.

Once Zhang Kuan died, these wives and concubines were forcibly ordered by Zhang Linfu to wear sackcloth and filial piety to guard them. Zhang Kuan will be safe if he stays in the ground for a day. These women must kneel here for a day, and no one can escape!
Facing the big black coffin, these wives and concubines knelt here for five days, each of them was already exhausted, suffering physically and mentally.It's just that whether they are dead or alive, no one is destined to care about it, so no one will notice that one of them is missing.

Some people glanced at a group of concubines, and seeing that they were all beautiful and beautiful, they sighed secretly in their hearts, they really suffered for these people.

At this time, all the students who appeared in the prime minister's residence were Zhang Linfu's disciples, and they all knew Zhang Linfu's temperament. Naturally, they did not dare to speak about such trivial matters. After staying for a while, they got up and left.

At this moment, a retainer from the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the door suddenly ran in, ran to Zhang Linfu with a face full of panic, and whispered a few words in Zhang Linfu's ear.

After Zhang Linfu heard this, his complexion changed drastically. He couldn't catch his breath. He was top-heavy and knocked his head to the ground. His head was bleeding and he passed out.

When the news came from the retainers, a woman in a long black dress appeared at the gate of the clan mansion.

The woman's face was pale and haggard, and the long black dress seemed to be covered with a bamboo pole, making her extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

But when the woman walked, her footsteps were extremely firm. She walked to the gate of the clan's mansion step by step, without any hesitation, and gently and stubbornly pushed open the heavy wooden door that buried countless stories. .

As soon as she walked in, she immediately caught the attention of the people inside!
The woman glanced at them and said softly, "I surrender myself."

She was dressed in black, her face was haggard and pale, and she was no longer as beautiful as before, but when she said these words, she smiled, with a relaxed and relieved smile, and she was also a member of the clan's mansion who laughed With a flash in front of his eyes, he sighed secretly, what a delicate and charming little lady.

This woman is exactly Chu Beibei!

When Chu Yunshang heard the news that Chu Beibei had entered the clan mansion and surrendered, he was no longer as calm as before, and jumped down from the chair dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "How could this be? Is she crazy? ?”
