Chapter 111 Still water transport

"Your Highness, then what are you doing this for?"

On the carriage, Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and asked in confusion.

Zhu Xu shook the fan and said, "Don't worry, you'll know it soon."

Cao Huachun looked strange, but Cao Wenzhao in front suddenly turned around and said, "Your Highness, Luo Sigong, won't we go and meet?"

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "No, let's talk about it when the canal transportation is over."

Zhu Xu has always been more vigilant about Luo Sigong, not because he was afraid that he would inform Zhu Youxiao or something, but because of some strange fear in his heart, he was unwilling to face the spy leader.

Zhu Xu had no choice but to stay outside the palace for a long time, so Cao Wenzhao drove his carriage back to the palace.

The three of them got off the carriage and walked into the palace. Cao Wenzhao observed the surroundings and walked closer and whispered: "Your Highness, there are two groups of people following us. One should be the Empress, and the other should be the Prince of Xin."

Zhu Xu was shaking the fan immediately. Queen Zhang and Zhu Xu understood that since he got sick last time, Queen Zhang has been extremely strict with Zhu Xu, for fear that he would make mistakes.

But what caused him to suspicion again?

"Is it because the six treasurys were searched last time?" Zhu Xu talked to himself thoughtfully as he walked.

Since the imperial physician diagnosed that Empress Zhang might not be able to give birth, Zhu Xu felt that the inertia of history was still difficult to change. Perhaps the future Emperor Chongzhen would come as promised. Therefore, Zhu Xu was particularly vigilant about King Xin Zhu Youjian, but unexpectedly he attracted his attention again.

Zhu Xu thought for a long time and said, "Brother Xin, think of some solutions."

Cao Huachun understood and bowed his body and whispered in a low voice: "It's Your Highness, I'll make arrangements now. Any movement will come immediately."

Zhu Xu nodded, and a group of people walked quickly back to Jinghuan Palace under the sun.

At the same time, Shuntian Mansion was lively.

The prefect Shen Yan stood in the lobby and looked at a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He saw that he was a tough scholar. He stared at Shen Yan with big eyes, angry eyes, and stared at Shen Yan with bright eyes and said, "My Lord Shen, why haven't the trial yet? Could it be that my son is not as good as his Zhao Nanxing's grandson?"

Shen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Sir Guan, it's not that the officials were deliberately delaying, but the case just happened. The yamen runners had just transported the bodies back, and the coroner had not yet finished the inspection. How do you want the officials to open the trial?"

Guan Yingzhen looked even more angry and said loudly: "Shen Yan, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. Either start the court to review it clearly today, or meet the emperor with me. I want to see if Zhao Nanxing can cover up the sky with one hand and take human life!"

"Who wants to take human life away!"

Outside the door, an old man in his seventies, with a voice like a stone, walked towards him.

Guan Yingzhen turned his head and rushed over angrily as soon as he saw it, and shouted: "Zhao Nanxing, you traitor, have you ever had something to do to come to me, how can you implicate my son!"

Shen Yan was startled and ran over in a hurry, holding Guan Yingzhen and said, "Sir Guan, please calm down, relieve your breath, you can say something to you."

Zhao Nanxing looked calm and his eyes were filled with endless anger. He looked at Shen Yan and said, "Mr. Shen, my grandson was also poisoned to death. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Although they were both officials in the capital and ranked among the ranks of the court, Zhao Nanxing was the Minister of Personnel, the leader of the world, with a high position and a powerful position, and was not comparable to a prefect of the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

He stopped Guan Yingzhen, smiled bitterly and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's less than half an hour since the incident happened, and the officials are not sure what exactly happened."

Guan Yingzhen glared at Zhao Nanxing, turned to look at Chen Yan and said in a deep voice, "You don't know, then come to someone you know. Are you Shuntian Mansion only eating and not doing things?"

Chen Yan smiled bitterly even more. He couldn't afford to offend these two people, so he had to practice Tai Chi and even rude. Of course, he didn't know anything, but he couldn't say it at this time, otherwise the Shuntian Mansion would be demolished.

In the Shuntian Mansion prison, Zhao Han interrogated the middle-aged man who had just surrendered himself alone.

He glanced at the big box at his feet and frowned and said, "You said, your surname is Chen, Huai, and someone from the Shen family of Anfu?"

The middle-aged man had already changed his clothes. He knelt on the ground, wearing shackles, and said calmly and firmly: "Yes, my name is Chen'aonan."

Zhao Han had previously wondered that His Highness Hui could not have worked so hard to take revenge on Zhao Nanxing, and now he understood it all.

Huai and Anfu are the home of the Governor's Office of the Governor of the Grain Transportation, and the Shen family and the Li family have been in-laws for several generations. More importantly, the Shen family is the most powerful and strongest in the North-South Grain Transportation. It is said that there are nearly 100 ships of large and small sizes in the Shen family alone, not to mention that they can be directly and indirectly affected.

Zhao Han knew it and said straight to the point: "Well, Your Highness asked me to save your life. Don't worry, I will find a death row prisoner to take care of you at that time."

Chen Aonan shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I am determined to die, and I hope to achieve success."

Zhao Han looked at him, thought for a while, and picked up the pen and said, "Then you can tell me why you poison the two of you to death."

Chen Aonan had already thought of all the words and said, "I am from Huai, Anfu, and the Shen family's father split up and managed the canal transportation for a living..."

While writing, Zhao Han shook his head secretly. They were all bad dramas that had been performed countless times. The down-and-out branch of the family was jealous of another wealthy branch, and joined forces with outsiders to seize the family property, and then robbed his wife and daughter, murdered and set fire.

Chen Aonan is the protagonist, but it is quite miserable. Most of the family property, wife and children are gone, and they have been hiding their names for many years, just for revenge.

Chen Aonan said the words were dry, and finally looked at the box at Zhao Han's feet and said, "The box is the account books I collected about Chen Aodong and the Zhao family, the official family, and the testimony of various docks, shopkeepers, and crew members, which are enough to determine Chen Aodong's death penalty."

Zhao Han had a slight hug. Chen Aonan probably hated him very much, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort to collect evidence. But if His Highness Hui had not participated, I would probably be like this and I would not be able to defeat Chen Aodong, who is related to the Zhao family's official family.

Zhao Han wrote it and asked Chen Aonan to sign and write it out, saying, "Okay, you'll stay here, waiting for the court, what should you say, what should you not say, don't you need to teach you, right?"

Chen Aonan had already made his promise and nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I know what I know."

Zhao Han glanced at him again, turned around and walked out with the testimony.

In the lobby, Guan Yingzhen was still angry and stared at Chen Yan and said, "Mr. Shen, when do you have to delay? If you can't interrogate Shuntian Mansion, then we will go to the emperor to sue!"

Zhao Nanxing sat aside, with a majestic expression and a faint expression.

He knew that grandson was a fool, and he didn't care about it at first, but he didn't expect that this time he poisoned the son of the leader of the Chu Party, Guan Yingzhen, and the witness was still his Donglin junior, Qian Qianyi!
