Chapter 40 Shen Luo heard the shocking big melon for the first time

"Your Highness, you are finally out." Zhang Kang, who was guarding the door, spotted Xie Yunsheng stepping out of the house with sharp eyes, and took three steps at a time to meet him.

Zhang Liao immediately put his cloak on Xie Yunsheng's shoulders: "Your Highness, are you going back to your home now?"

"Return!" Xie Yunsheng replied, cherishing his words like gold.

On the carriage, Xie Yunsheng brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake given by Shen Luo. The faint fragrance filled the tip of his nose. He twisted a piece and bit it into his mouth, with a faint smile in his eyes.

The taste was exactly the same as the pastry she made in her previous life, and she actually said it was made by her aunt.

"Your Highness, do you smell any fragrance?" Zhang Kang, who was driving the carriage, moved his nose slightly, sensitively catching the fragrance of flowers floating in the air, and asked softly.

Zhang Liao raised his hand and slapped his brother: "Drive your carriage well, where did all this nonsense come from?"

"Your Highness is holding a box in his hand. Do you want to know where the fragrance comes from?" Zhang Liao did not want his brother to offend His Highness the Crown Prince, so he lowered his voice and reminded: "Can you think carefully before speaking in the future?"

Zhang Kang lowered his head silently and whispered: "I understand."

I secretly cursed in my heart: How do I know what to say and what not to say?

Xie Yunsheng closed the box and asked: "Mr. Shen took over the case, how is your investigation going? If there is any information, send it to the Beizhen Office immediately to help her solve the case as soon as possible."

"Everything we have found, Mr. Shen's people have found out. Your Highness, don't worry. Your Excellency is very resourceful and will be able to find out the truth." Zhang Kang is rare to be very flexible.

Zhang Liao continued: "But there is something very strange. After Yi Zishao's death, Yi Ling, the head of the Yi family, stayed behind closed doors, and Yi Zishao's biological mother made a big fuss at home."

"Can we find out who Yi Zishao's biological mother is and where she came from?" Xie Yunsheng asked.

Ordinary concubines should keep their mouths shut when encountering such a thing, and protect themselves wisely to avoid being kicked out of the house. How dare they make a fuss?

A faint smile appeared on Xie Yunsheng's lips: This case is getting more and more complicated and confusing!

"Yi Zishao's biological mother was the daughter of an ordinary merchant. I heard that people who married into the Yi family would not be welcomed by others. Not long after she gave birth to Yi Zishao, she moved into the ancestral hall. It was rumored that Yi Zishao was adopted by Yi Ling not long ago. It seems that the position of head of the family is to be passed on to Yi Zishao."

Zhang Liao replied, and then gradually realized that something was wrong, and asked: "Your Highness, why do you think this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

Yi Zishao has been adopted by Yi Ling and is one step away from becoming the head of the family. According to common sense, he should act cautiously at this time to avoid any complications.

Even if he really likes married women, he should find ways to get everything he wants when he has the power.

Xie Yunsheng looked at the box in his hand and whispered: "Keep an eye on Yi Zishao's biological mother. If Yi Zishao's death is not an accident, his biological mother will never remain silent."

"Your Highness, you mean that his biological mother will cause trouble?" Zhang Liao asked doubtfully.

"If there is really an injustice, the only place where she can complain is the Beizhen Prefecture Secretary?" Xie Yunsheng said bluntly, and then reminded: "Find someone to guard behind the Beizhen Prefecture Secretary's door tomorrow to protect Shen Luo. Don't let any crazy people come near her."

"Sir, the wife of the head of the Yi family is from the Wang family, and the wife of the right prime minister is from the Wang family. If there is really a problem with the Beizhen Prefecture, the right prime minister will probably use the issue to his advantage." Zhang Liao reminded in a low voice.

The right minister, Su Xiang, has a very beautiful face. He was the prince's junior master and was courteous to others. But who would have thought that when he brought his own daughter to the palace, he would give the prince some incense mixed with "something" and light it himself. Fortunately, the prince His Highness discovered it in time.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister strongly denied it, saying that he did not know that something was mixed in the incense and that someone had framed him. However, anyone with a discerning eye could understand that the Prime Minister wanted to be the father-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince and climb up the ladder.

When Su Wanying was sent to the nunnery, Shen Situ was ordered to enter the court as an official. Out of jealousy, Su Xiangxu repeatedly complained in front of His Highness, and repeatedly belittled Master Shen in the court as a woman, saying that her origins were unknown.

It’s really too low-key!

I don’t know how he climbed to the position of right prime minister in the first place?

When Xie Yunsheng heard Su Xiang's name, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Keep an eye on him, and report him immediately if there is any trouble with him."

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely protect the Crown Princess and never let the Crown Princess suffer any harm?" Zhang Kang and Zhang Liao replied in unison.

Xie Yunsheng held the pastry box in his hand, with a cold light in his dark eyes.

next day

Shen Luo was sorting out the case files in his hands when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door and called out: "Xin Zhuiyue, go see what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Yes." Xin Zhuiyue knew that he had angered Shen Luo yesterday, so he immediately obeyed his orders and went out to investigate.

A moment later, Xin Zhuiyue brought a woman in plain clothes with a string of Buddhist beads in her hands. When the woman saw Shen Luo's back, she immediately knelt down and said, "Common woman, please see Master Shen."

"The commoner woman is Yi Zishao's mother. My son is not a greedy and lustful person. There is no way he would get into a fight over a married woman."

"Behind this must be the conspiracy of that bitch Wang. She didn't want my son to inherit the position of head of the family, so she contacted outsiders to conspire to kill my son." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Do you have any conclusive evidence for saying this?" Shen Luo continued to organize the case files in his hands, not caring what the person behind him said.

She has seen more cases over the years and has become calmer.

The woman glanced at Shen Luo and asked softly: "Sir, can a civilian woman speak to you alone?"

Shen Luo glanced back at the woman in plain clothes and then motioned for Xin Zhuiyue to step back.

After Xin Zhuiyue stepped back, Shen Luo slowly sat down with a case file transferred from the Ministry of Revenue and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say? Say it!"

The woman pinched the prayer beads in her hand and begged in a trembling voice: "Sir, whatever I say to you next, please keep it secret no matter what."

Shen Luo put down the case file in his hand, looked at the woman, and asked: "I can't guarantee that the secret will not be leaked, because what you said may become evidence against others."

"If you insist on keeping it secret, you can choose not to tell it." Shen Luo looked at the woman's struggling expression, then silently picked up the case file in her hand and read it carefully.

The woman saw that Shen Luo had a calm face and a pair of amber eyes that seemed to be able to peer into people's hearts. She understood that in front of such a person, she could only move her by telling the truth.

"Sir, as long as you can seek justice for my son, I am willing to tell Master Shen everything." The woman turned the prayer beads in her hand, with regret, confusion, and fear between her brows.

Shen Luo remained silent and continued to sort out the books at hand.

Seeing that Shen Luo ignored her, the woman gritted her teeth and summoned up her courage to say, "This matter starts with my son's life experience. My son is not my husband's son."
