Chapter Seventy-Four: Shen Zishan's True Face
Shen Zishan handed over the letter, and Chu Jiao kept it carefully.
After going back, the thousand ghosts opened the letter and saw that it was written what it was to open the city gate, and there was a pattern seal at the place where the money was registered.
"This seal is indeed ours, but the handwriting is not ours."
"What did you say was that token?" Chu Jiao asked.
"This token is my family's second-in-command, but a few months ago, it disappeared, and I searched for it to no avail, so when I saw it in your hand that day, I thought you had taken him hostage." After the thousand ghosts finished speaking, they fell silent, looking at the situation at this time, I am afraid that it is not their reason.
"It seems that someone is making a mistake and wants to frame us, and the hundred ghosts must be in their hands, the hundred ghosts are a strong character, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck." Chiki said.
"Well, it's not impossible for you to say this, but now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." Chu Jiao said.
At this time, Xiuying, who had gone out, returned.
"Master..."
Xiuying glanced at the thousand ghosts as he spoke.
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Jiao pulled him aside.
"Actually... Just now, when Lord Shen was inspecting the post station where Thousand Ghosts and the others lived, he found out... Chase the wind. ”
Looking at the unkind appearance, Chu Jiao's expression was complicated.
"Prepare the horses!"
Several people hurriedly rushed to the previous post station, and there was nothing unusual on the first floor, but when they went up to the second floor, they found that it was full of messes.
When Chu Jiao and the others arrived, what they saw was the corpse of Chafeng, who had already been placed and lying on his burden.
Chu Jiao lifted the curtain slightly, looked at Zhufeng's face full of fear, and invited him to come over, but saw that there were not too many wounds on his body, but he was poisoned and died.
"Where did you find the body at the inn?" Qin Shao asked.
Shen Zishan said: "Back to the prince's words, Weichen sent someone to check and maybe he could find something, but I didn't expect to find a hidden grid behind the mural in the compartment on the second floor, and after opening the dark grid, we found that the wind had lost its breath, and then it was hidden in the mural." ”
Chu Jiao stepped forward to check the situation, and sure enough, there were blood stains on it in the small space on that side.
There were scratches all around the wall, and it could be seen that Chafeng was not dead at that time, but he just wanted to struggle to climb out, but there was no way to die around him was really sealed, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't get out.
Chu Jiao's hand caressed those scratches, as if he saw the tragic state of his struggle before he died.
Her gaze looked at the thousand ghosts, if it was a misunderstanding before, then now I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the blame.
"Lord Wang, the people of this state really have too many thoughts, I didn't expect the receipt to be so cruel, Weichen can't let it go." Shen Zishan said.
"It's not over yet, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." Chu Jiao said.
Although he said this on his face, the balance in his heart was actually a little off.
Chiki's face was not good-looking, and he whispered in her ear, "I don't know what's going on. ”
He knew it was a bit far-fetched to say that now, but he was sincere.
"Don't touch the things here yet, I'll talk about it when I'm investigating carefully, you can go back first." Qin Shao said to Shen Zishan.
Shen Zishan didn't hesitate, before leaving, he looked and understood that there was nothing around that he hadn't dealt with, so he turned around and went out.
"I remember that the person who first found these letters was Shen Zishan, the person who first discovered Chafeng was Shen Zishan, and now the person who found Chafeng's body is still Shen Zishan." Chu Jiao said.
It doesn't sound strange, except that things are now intertwined, and there seems to be a few key people missing.
Qin Shao looked at each other, and the two seemed to understand what the other party was thinking.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Chiki said.
Chu Jiao grabbed him: "I'm waiting, I really figured out something." ”
"Shen Zishan sent someone out to chase the people of Fanbang, I heard that it seems to have been caught, and now he is in prison."
The eyes of the thousand ghosts were deep, and several people went to the prison and found that Shen Zishan had indeed found someone, it was Helda.
looked at the iron-clad man, his face was very pale, but the ruthlessness on his body was still there.
Helda was originally very irritable, and when he saw the thousand ghosts behind Chu Jiao, his face was much calmer, but there was no sparkle in his eyes.
"Now that the matter has been revealed, why don't you say it quickly, did you kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chafeng Chaifeng?" Shen Zishan interrogated.
Helda confessed one by one, whatever it was.
The thousand ghosts shook their heads at Chu Jiao, Helda has always been by his side, and he definitely didn't betray his temperament.
Chu Jiao and Qin Shao exchanged glances, and this matter was now in front of them.
Do you believe in Shen Zishan, who has been diligent for many years, or believe in the foreign leader who has now obtained stolen goods.
"Lord, now that the stolen goods have been obtained, Weichen thinks that he can report to the court now, originally this matter was only because of the epidemic, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to investigate, but he didn't expect to attract the disaster of killing, this matter was done by Fanbang, and I must not sit idly by."
Seeing Shen Zishan's indignant appearance, Chu Jiao said, "Lord Shen, do you really think so?" ”
"Weichen's heart is naturally very sad, and his heart is all tied to my peace." Shen Zishan said awe-inspiringly, only to see that his back was straight, his eyes were clear, and he had a straight face when facing Chu Jiao, without any fear.
Qin Shao said at this time: "Lord Shen has good acting skills. ”
Shen Zishan said: "Wechen is terrified, from beginning to end, Wechen has a heart..."
"Then tell me, who delivered the letter to you?"
"Wechen's family saw it at the door, so Wechen didn't know who it was."
"I'm asking you, you were the first to notice these things, but don't you think there's anything wrong?"
"Naturally, there isn't."
"That's strange, isn't it strange that I found these things when I sent someone to Lord Shen's house?" Chu Jiao said at this time.
Xiu Ying came up from the side and offered something with both hands.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be some letter paper, and these things were not signed, as if they were imitating some notes.
"This is a note imitating the hundred ghosts of Fanbang, I don't know, how can these things appear in Lord Shen's house?" Chu Jiao asked.
"Princess, Weichen has been wronged! How could Weichen know about this kind of thing? It must be someone from Fanbang who wants to deliberately frame Weichen.
Think about it, if Weichen really got these things, why didn't he burn them early to arouse suspicion? ”
"Then can I say that it's you, the person who wants to frame Fanbang?" Chu Jiao said.
Saying that, Xiuying untied Helda, and Helda fell to the ground.
"He has been following the thousand ghosts, and the token he took out from the prince's hand is the one of the hundred ghosts; When the corpses of the chaotic war were found, the corpses of those people in Fanbang, even if they were shaved, could make it obvious that they would be identified.
And every time the case happens, Lord Shen is there. When I was at the city gate, it was you who gave the order to go down and attack, and I would encounter accidents;
And I found something even more special, that is, Lord Shen is a civil official, and he doesn't want to cultivate martial arts. ”
Chu Jiao said word by word, and Shen Zishan was indeed at a loss.
"The people of Fanbang didn't check for a while, and they were caught by His Royal Highness the Prince, that's the most normal thing, the clues left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all people from Fanbang, why should the princess suspect her own people?" Shen Zishan argued with reason.
"If these letters can't explain anything, then how can Lord Shen explain this thing?" Chu Jiao said and spread out the things in her hand, which was the clothes of Chafeng, and on them was a Shen character written in blood.
"If I really did it from beginning to end, why didn't I kill Chafeng early in the morning?"
"Since you have to do a full set of plays, you don't kill the wind in this matter, but deliberately release him, and then implement the evidence of Fanbang's crimes, so that you can crusade against Fanbang in a bright and bright way." Chu Jiao said.
Shen Zishan had a straight face: "Weichen is wronged, Weichen has never thought of it like this." ”
In fact, Chu Jiao had already begun to suspect him, because there were many suspicions, and the reason why he had been hiding them was just waiting for definite evidence.
"You know that Chafeng is sober, so you trick him out, and then use poison, and then put it behind the mural to frame a thousand ghosts, right?" Chu Jiao said.
Shen Zishan was imprisoned, and the truth surfaced little by little, but Chu Jiao felt that this matter was not so simple.
Because Shen Zishan's reputation in Quanzhou is very high, even if he is imprisoned, it is a secret.
Quanzhou is located on the border, and in order to avoid panic, this can only be thought of.
Shen Zishan was in prison, and although the cell boss looked at Shen Zishan a little embarrassed, he still looked innocent.
The cell boss stepped forward and looked at no one around, and then said a little nervously: "Lord Shen, we all know that you must have been wronged in this matter, right?" You're very good to us, I don't know what will happen to you this time, or we'll let you out first, right? ”
Shen Zishan frowned, and then said with a straight face: "I believe that the adults will definitely find out the truth about this matter, but there is one point, don't tell the people about my absence in politics, otherwise the people will definitely panic." ”
Listening to Shen Zishan's meaningful words, the cell head turned his head, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My lord, I understand." ”
After saying that, the cell head retreated silently, Shen Zishan looked at a small iron window, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
The news of Shen Zishan's detention soon spread among the people of Quanzhou.
The people soon began to protest one after another, and the most important thing in the border area was peace, and if it affected peace and stability, it was the top priority.
