Chapter 210 Breaking through His Highness's disheveled clothes
Chu Xingchen noticed that Zhou Buyan was wilting and thought it was because his body had not recovered yet, "You have a good rest tonight."
Zhou Buyan occupied Chu Xingchen's bed, and Chu Xingchen went to squeeze into a room with Xiaohua.
Shen Cangzhu stayed behind to take care of Zhou Buyan. Although he was laying on the floor, he was in a good mood. It would be better if Zhou Buyan didn't keep staring at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Shen Cangzhu fell asleep with his back to Zhou Buyan, and was suddenly stepped on in the middle of the night.
This step made Shen Cangzhu wake up immediately, and his soul almost left his body.
"I forgot, Mr. Shen Zhi, that you are under the bed." Zhou Buyan's voice came without any fluctuations.
Shen Cangzhu touched his stomach and stood up, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
"No, someone is coming. Pay attention to safety." Zhou Buyan said and went out directly, heading straight to Chu Xingchen's room.
"Don't barge in! She's still asleep." Shen Cangzhu said hurriedly, it would be bad if he caught His Highness's disheveled clothes.
Zhou Buyan didn't seem to hear what he said. What happened if he fell asleep? Didn't he see many of you? What has he not seen of Your Highness?
The latch in the little flower house was nothing to Zhou Buyan, so he went in silently.
When Chu Xingchen woke up, he saw Zhou Buyan standing in the room and lit the lights in the room, "Zhou Buyan, why did you come in?"
"Someone is coming, I will protect you, don't be afraid."
Just after Zhou Buyan finished speaking, there was movement outside.
The silent attack came as soon as it was announced, but a moment later there were screams.
Those were people sent by the Xiang family again, several times more in number than before, pretending to be horse bandits to kill them.
There were dozens of people who were ruthless. If they didn't send additional troops and Zhou Buyan didn't arrive with his team, it would be difficult to rely on those guards.
But when Zhou Buyan and the others came, Xiang hit a brick wall.
Dozens of people came and killed many students, and every time they went smoothly, but this time they suffered a big loss, and screams filled the air. Everyone nearby knew this time, and they were very frightened. Fortunately, everyone was repulsed.
Everyone was not stupid, and by this time they all realized that Chu Xingchen and the others might not be ordinary people.
"We can help bring these people to the government office, and we can also testify." Chu Xingchen did not come forward, and Grandpa Xiaohua tried his best to discuss with Shen Cangzhu calmly.
Shen Cangzhu agreed, but he didn't expect that after Grandpa Xiaohua and the others went to the government office with the fake horse bandits, the fake horse bandits immediately bit Shen Cangzhu, saying that Shen Cangzhu colluded with them and wanted to kill all the candidates. , so that you can stand out on your own.
It turned out that Xiang Shi saw that the assassination failed, so he tried another plan when it failed. He simply blamed Shen Cangzhu for all the previous crimes and found a scapegoat.
There were so many murders of students in Qingtai County. The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate was about to find the murderer. The county guard couldn't find the murderer and he couldn't hold on any longer. He wanted to arrest Shen Cangzhu immediately after hearing the explanation.
The Wang family has been operating in Qingtai County for several generations, and has always had a good reputation, and is also familiar with the county governor.
Naturally, the county guard would not doubt the Wang family and made up his mind to interrogate Shen Cangzhu.
All this development was so ridiculous that Shen Cangzhu laughed angrily, "Okay, I want to see how I colluded with the horse bandits."
Chu Xingchen put on his curtain hat and the group came to the government office together.
I heard that the murderer of the student who shocked the entire Qingtai County had been found. Many people gathered outside the government office. Chu Xingchen also saw Fang Yong, whom he had met once before. Fang Yong had excitement in his eyes, although she brought He was wearing a curtain and hat, but his eyes immediately lit up when he saw her.
He seemed to be thinking about it but then stopped, and his expression gradually became playful, even condescending.
He was waiting for Chu Xingchen to regret and pay the price for what he had said before. He would force her to have her in his backyard if she didn't take the initiative to beg him when she was desperate.
Not only him, but also Mr. Wang and the three young masters of the Wang family came in a hurry. When they saw Shen Cangzhu, they were shocked and couldn't believe it.
"You shouldn't, you shouldn't. With Master Zhu's talent and knowledge, there is no need to kill anyone."
Mr. Wang's words made the county guard helpless. This was the confession of the horse bandit. The horse bandit who was tied up in the court kept his head lowered after seeing Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang was a highly respected man, so the county governor specially arranged a chair for him and asked him to sit down.
The county guard interrogated him for a few words, then took a look at the "evidence" presented to him, and decided to convict Shen Cangzhu without asking any more questions.
Chu Xingchen looked at it and thought it was extremely ridiculous, "No wonder we haven't found the murderer yet. It turns out that this is how the county guard handles cases!"
"Who are you? Do you, a woman, have the right to speak in court?"
Chu Xingchen took a few steps forward and stared at the county guard closely, "It doesn't matter who I am. It's important. It's a big deal. The county guard should investigate carefully. A total of ninety-two students were killed. They were crippled and killed. It is impossible for someone with no roots in Qingtai County to make such a big move, let alone my husband and I, who have just arrived in Qingtai County."
Chu Xingchen's eyes looked at Mr. Wang, and finally fell on the room behind them, "This case is full of flaws. Instead of picking on a poor student, it is better to find out more about the famous families in Tai County, such as the Wang family."
Chu Xingchen pointed his sword at the Wang family. The county guard did not expect her to be so bold. He was shocked and angry, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you shut up!"
Mr. Wang stood up in shock, and the three young masters turned red with anger, "You are so slanderous!"
Not only them, but also the people who were watching were in an uproar.
The youngest son of the Wang family was so angry that he didn't want to quarrel with the woman. He looked directly at Shen Cangzhu and said, "Master Zhu, please don't hide behind your back. If you have anything to say, you can tell us directly."
Shen Cangzhu glanced at Chu Xingchen without saying anything. Chu Xingchen glanced at the third young master Wang and his eyes fell behind him, "Young Master Wang is so sure that your Wang family is innocent? I will return this to you Wang family. Don't hide from some people." Behind the scenes."
Just now Zhou Buyan told her that there was a woman next door, called Madam, and she guessed that it was Xiang who came to confirm whether her poisonous plan was successful.
Third Young Master Wang didn't understand yet, but Mr. Wang felt that there was something in Chu Xingchen's words. The county guard looked at his face and scolded him.
"Come here, take her away quickly. She is the wife of a sinner, and she may be an accomplice! She even dares to slander the Wang family. Who doesn't know Mr. Wang's righteousness and has been supporting poor students for decades?"
Chu Xingchen's few words caused chaos in the courtroom. The county magistrate suspended the case and decided to deal with Chu Xingchen first.
"Which of you dares!"
Shen Cangzhu said quietly, Zhou Buyan silently guarded Chu Xingchen, and the shadows were still silently alert, ready to take action at any time.
During the stalemate, someone came up to the county guard and said a few words in his ear. He nodded blankly, said a few words to Mr. Wang, and walked up to Chu Xingchen.
"The Wang family has begged Madam for mercy on your behalf, saying that you may be eager to save your husband and want to see you."
Shen Cangzhu was about to refuse when he heard it, but Chu Xingchen nodded, "Okay, I'll see you there."
They would meet sooner or later, and she wanted to see what Xiang had to say.
Xiang was in a room next to the court. There was a window in that room. The window was exquisitely designed so that people in the court could not notice it, but people in the room could hear and see everything that was going on in the court.
This is usually where some officials who are inconvenient to come forward watch the trial, and it is also where witnesses identify suspects.
Unexpectedly, this place was occupied by a woman at this moment. This was very against the rules, but Xiang was sitting very steadily.
Xiang, who looks like a man in his thirties or forties, has a face like a full moon, is gentle and quiet, and has calmed down after being exposed by Chu Xingchen.
She looked at Chu Xingchen, the master who brought Chu Xingchen over, and Chu Xingchen said, "This is Mrs. Xiang of the Wang family. Why don't you apologize to Mrs. Xiang?"
After saying that, he added in a low voice, "Her back leads to Feng'an City and the imperial court, so you can't talk nonsense."
