Chapter 461： Nobuo

Chapter 461 Pu Xinnan

The sisters of the Qi family brought Zheng's body back to the Qi family to prepare for the funeral. They were worried that Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao would continue to protect Wu Enrong, so they asked Jiang Xueyi to follow him to the county prison.

Chu Nanzhi only found it funny for their worries.

Really speaking, now that so many people are thinking of killing Wu Enrong, I am afraid that I am the only one who can protect him for a while.

Following a group of people into the county prison, they saw Concubine Yue Gui and Lin Jinmu sitting in the discipline room in person, about to torture Wu Enrong.

"Oh, it must be done, imperial concubine, His Royal Highness Dongjin Wang, Lord Wu will soon be the Minister of the Taifu, if you treat him like this, if Lord Wu is wronged, then he will not let it go after he enters Beijing."

Chu Nanzhi rushed forward to stop her with a happy face, and instantly played the role of Little Green Tea.

Lin Jinmu frowned in dissatisfaction: "Sisters and sisters, you are now regarded as a relative of the emperor anyway, with a noble status, how can you be so humble to please a subordinate, he is just a courtier, no matter how high and powerful you are, you will be appreciated by His Majesty. He should stand trial."

"Because of this, I want to persuade the imperial concubine and brother Dongjin to think twice. He abused lynching before he was convicted. It is difficult to explain before His Majesty."

Chu Nanzhi pretended to be extremely sincere and pleaded for Wu Enrong.

Seeing this, Tang Ru came over and pleaded: "Please don't be impulsive, the imperial concubine and King Dongjin. Since His Royal Highness Prince Pingning has entrusted the case to Princess Pingning with full authority to hear it, let her arrange it."

Lin Jinmu suddenly showed a dissatisfied expression: "The governor of the Tang Dynasty, this king is also a king, and he has followed His Majesty's order to patrol the prefectures and counties along the way. Could it be that this king specializes in this case and is not as good as my younger brother and sister?"

Tang Ru had a hard time paying attention to this ordinary and confident prince. Since he insisted on taking the trouble on himself, he had no choice but to let him.

Anyway, he is not his future master.

Lin Jinmu looked at Lin Jinxiao meaningfully again, and said in a low tone, "My dear brother, even if you hold the Heavenly Son Sword in your hand, you won't be able to make things difficult for Your Majesty by fighting against brother Yu just because of a mere subordinate who committed crimes?"

Concubine Yue's brows trembled, and she also sneered: "Prince Pingning should indeed be more self-respectful. Your succession to the foreign prince has been controversial, so you should be more cautious at this time, but don't want to make friends with any kind of person. Well, we must be more vigilant against being impeached if we fail to complete the canonization ceremony."

"The concubine, what Your Highness said is very true."

Lin Jinxiao came forward slowly, and he naturally wanted to appreciate the two people's "kind words and persuasion".

Holding Chu Nanzhi to sit under the discipline room together, he deliberately sighed towards Wu Enrong: "Master Wu, it wasn't my king who refused to protect you. Now you have seen this situation, you should confess it honestly."

Wu Enrong was grateful to Lin Jinxiao from the bottom of his heart.

From last night to now, he has seen the situation clearly.

Pingning Wang and his wife are trying their best to protect themselves, and never thought of putting themselves in prison, but Concubine Yue Gui and Lin Jinmu always want to put themselves to death.

Looking deeply at Lin Jinxiao, Wu Enrong also let out a long sigh: "Prince Pingning is a kind man, I am grateful to you and the princess for your kindness."

Hearing this, Lin Jinmu immediately flew into a rage: "Wu Enrong, you are dying, and you still want to buy people's hearts. This king advises you to come here quickly, so as not to suffer further."

"If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."

Wu Enrong's eyes were fierce, and he didn't look good towards the king of Dongjin: "His Royal Highness keeps saying that the subordinate officials murdered the Zheng family. What is the evidence? The subordinate officials have never docked when they sailed in Luyan Port, and they have no way of knowing. Zheng's whereabouts, how to arrange to meet her in a hurry?"

Paused, he raised his eyebrows and continued: "Besides, if the lower official wants to see Qi's family, why should he decide to take the waterway temporarily? Isn't it superfluous?"

"This is exactly your brilliance."

Lin Jinmu analyzed with firm eyes: "Mr. Zheng is holding your handle. How can you avoid it if you want to? You deliberately changed the waterway to make Mrs. Zheng feel anxious, so you didn't hesitate to go out of the city in the middle of the night to meet you." See, you can also take the opportunity to kill people and silence them."

Chu Nanzhi couldn't listen to his conceited remarks.

Although the inference seems reasonable, the prince has neglected many important links.

So far, whether Mrs. Zheng was invited to leave the city or left the city on her own, the motive has not been clarified, so it is so arbitrary that it is really hard to believe.

"Your Highness."

She was about to remind Lin Jinmu, but this guy stopped her directly: "Sisters and sisters, such a simple case can still be tried by the king, you and my brother are listening carefully, let's see how the king makes the case come true." This guy is convinced."

Chu Nanzhi sighed helplessly.

Wu Enrong was completely annoyed: "It's just full of nonsense. The official is now in prison. Before he left the county mansion, he never sent anyone to send a message to the Qi family. His Highness can send someone to investigate. The official has never had any relationship with the Qi family. The communication is only that when Zheng Duyou went to Luyan Port, he mentioned that he would come to take over the post in the near future."

Tang Ru nodded silently: "The officials can testify to this point. Zheng Duyou really doesn't know the whereabouts of Wu Taishou. He has been preparing to meet him at the North City Gate. He doesn't even know the waterway that Master Wu took."

At this point, he couldn't help muttering: "Then how did Mrs. Zheng know the waterway Mr. Wu was traveling, and how did she think of intercepting Mr. Taishou in Cangshan?"

After the words fell, I couldn't help but look at Jiang Xueyi.

Jiang Xueyi hurried forward, and replied with fear and sincerity: "Going home from the posthouse that night, there happened to be a young man from my Qi family returning from the county mansion. The young man told his mother-in-law that Wu Taishou changed the waterway, and the mother-in-law felt that the situation was not good. That’s why I thought about entering Cangshan overnight to intercept Master Wu’s boat at Cangshan pier.”

As he spoke, he glared at Wu Enrong viciously, showing resentment and guilt on his face: "I never thought about it but encountered an accident, and I blame the officials for not persuading my mother-in-law, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up like this."

Chu Nanzhi looked at his self-blaming expression, and secretly sneered: That old woman will end up like this sooner or later.

I'm afraid that those people who have been oppressed by the Qi family will be so happy that they will set off firecrackers when they hear the news of Zheng's death.

Wu Enrong was also extremely unconvinced and argued with reason: "What Cangshan, don't want to slander people with blood. I have never been in Cangshan. The Jinglu Canal is full of cliffs in Pingning Prefecture, and it is everywhere from Luyan Port. Tianzhu, if I go ashore and stop the boat, there will be a water officer to record it,

Besides, I arrived at the Luyan Port Wharf at dawn yesterday. It took me four days to travel from the county to this place. If I go into the mountains and turn back, I won’t be able to arrive at Hong Kong at dawn. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ce and Li Sanmu, who were sent by Lin Jinxiao to inquire about Wu Enrong's whereabouts, returned one after another.

As he himself said, there is no record of Wu Enrong stopping the ship at Cangshan Wharf; and the record of Luyan Port Wharf is indeed that Wu Enrong arrived at the port at dawn.

After listening to Li Ce and Li Sanmu's answers, Concubine Yue and Lin Jinmu frowned one after another:

Now things are going to be a big mess.
