Chapter 140: A rake
"Shen Lian?" When Jiang Huai heard this person's name, his brows couldn't help but lock.
"What? What's the problem? Chu Yu asked.
Chu Yu didn't know what was going on between Jiang Wan and Shen Lian, so he naturally didn't understand the reason. It's just that all these years have passed, and I don't know if Shen Lian can help in this matter. But he thought, since he was the person Jiang Wan fell in love with, he naturally couldn't find out where to go, right?
He thought about how he had a few relationships with Shen Lian back then, so he said, "Since we know who is in charge of this case, this matter is simple." Then let this king go to Shen Lian and talk about it. ”
Chu Yu said, "Lord Wang, after all, this matter is a matter of the Yu Palace, and it is better for this king to come forward." If this king does not agree with him, it will not be too late for you to come forward. ”
Jiang Huai thought about it carefully and felt that it was right. Let him come forward directly, but it will make people fall directly.
"Okay, then Prince Zhang will go first. This king is waiting for your good news. ”
"Hmm."
Chu Yu didn't delay, so he prepared some small gifts and went to Shen Lian's mansion in person.
"May I ask if Lord Shen is in the mansion?" Chu Yu ordered someone to come forward and ask.
The subordinate at the door replied, "Who wants to see our Lord Shen?" We, Lord Shen, are not for everyone. ”
The people in front of Chu Yu were a little displeased when they heard this, so they reported to their own door, "Our Lord Zhang wants to see you Lord Shen, can you see?" ”
The subordinate glanced at the sedan chair parked at the door, and said, "It turned out to be Lord Zhang, and the little one will report first." The prince waits for a moment. ”
The man hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, and then came out after a while, and said, "I'm really sorry, our master is now in the yamen of the criminal department, not in the mansion." Zhang Wangye, let's come back in a few days. ”
After hearing this, the people in the palace turned around and said to Chu Yu, and Chu Yu walked out of the sedan chair and looked at the man, "Your master is not in the mansion, and you have to go back to know that you are really incompetent as a person." ”
The man was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
Chu Yu expected that Shen Lian was in the mansion, but he didn't want to see him. But when he saw him today, he also asked for him, and he didn't want to be too strong. So he said, "If you go back and talk about it, you will say that this king has something important to see him, and I hope that Lord Shen will see this king." ”
"Yes, the little ones will go."
After a while, the man came out and said, "Our lord is invited." ”
Chu Yu bowed slightly, and walked in.
When he arrived at the main hall, Shen Lian was sitting there, holding a cup of tea in his hand. Seeing Chu Yu coming, he just raised his eyes slightly, not only did he not get up to salute, but he also continued to drink tea as if he didn't see it.
When Chu Yu saw this, he had probably guessed what kind of person Shen Lian was like. He expected that when he came to Shen Lian today, most of them would return in vain. But for the sake of Jiang Huan, he had to give it a try.
Chu Yu had no choice but to accompany himself with a smile and said, "Lord Shen." ”
Shen Lian saw that Chu Yu greeted him first, and then as if he had seen Chu Yu, he got up and said with a smile, "Ah, it turns out that Prince Zhang has arrived." Look at Xiaguan, hey, this person doesn't know how to tell Xiaguan in advance, Xiaguan will go out to greet you. Come on, hurry up and show Zhang Wang Ye tea! ”
Chu Yu said, "Lord Shen doesn't have to be polite. Knowing that Lord Shen has been busy with official business recently, it is understandable that he doesn't know this king. This king has come today, but it is actually ......"
Shen Lian interrupted Chu Yu's words and said, "Oh, why hasn't this tea come yet?" Lord Zhang, please sit down first, sit quickly, don't stand and talk. ”
Chu Yu had to sit down first, but said, "This king came today for the princess's business. ”
Shen Lian looked at Chu Yu and said, "The prince is naturally here for the princess." Otherwise, you and I have no friendship on weekdays, why would you suddenly come to the next official? Shen Lian said, sat down again, and turned into Fang Cai's indifferent look.
Chu Yu winked, and the entourage sent the prepared gifts.
Shen Lian was surprised, "What is Prince Zhang doing?" Don't you want to let the lower officials play favoritism? ”
Chu Yu said, "Lord Shen has misunderstood. This thin gift is just a meeting gift for Lord Shen. This king will not let Lord Shen cheat for personal gain. This king just wanted to ask Lord Shen for a favor. ”
"Prince Zhang is in love. You don't have to bring these things. ”
Chu Yu said, "Presumably, Lord Shen is very clear about the princess. This king just wanted to make it convenient for Lord Shen to meet the two witnesses in the yamen of the Criminal Department. ”
Shen Lian said, "Are you talking about Master Huiyuan and Mother Liu, who testify to the princess's crime of bullying the king?" ”
Chu Yu nodded, "Exactly." ”
Shen Lian looked embarrassed and said, "This is really a bit embarrassing." Supposedly they are witnesses, and they are not visible to anyone except the officials we are interrogating. ”
Chu Yu said, "Lord Shen doesn't have to be embarrassed, this king just wants to ask clearly." It will not hinder inquiries from the Penal Department. ”
"That's it!"
"Hmm. Please also ask Lord Shen to make it convenient. ”
Shen Lian touched his forehead as if he thought about it, and then said, "It's not easy to do this matter, but since Prince Zhang has already opened his mouth, then the lower officials will definitely do their best." In this way, Prince Zhang went back first to wait for news, and once the official was done, he would send someone to the palace to inform the prince. What do you think? ”
This sounds very much like a prevarication, but Chu Yu can't say anything at the moment. But he thought in his heart, Shen Lian's path was afraid that it would not work, and it seemed that he would have to find another way.
At the moment, he didn't stay with Shen Lian for long, and left the Shen Mansion.
Seeing that Chu Yu had left, the subordinate on the side asked, "My lord, this person is the prince after all, but do you want to give him some thin noodles?" ”
Shen Lian looked at the gifts brought by Chu Yu, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Prepare a car for me, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint." ”
"Yes, sir."
After a while, Shen Lian went directly into the palace. As soon as he saw Jiang Che, he knelt down, and said in a somewhat complaining tone, "Your Majesty, please also ask the emperor to invite another Gao Ming, Weichen is really powerless." ”
Jiang Che put down the fold in his hand and frowned, "What do you mean?" What can't be done? ”
Shen Lian said, "The matter of Weichen's trial of the princess has long been rumored to be known in the streets. Weichen had been asking the princess about these things last night, and he didn't return to the house until the morning. Before he could rest in the mansion for a while, he was woken up by Prince Zhang. Without being reported, he directly broke into the Shen Mansion, with a threatening tone, and asked Weichen to take him to meet the two witnesses. He said that he wanted to ask them something. How dare Weichen, if this is to let the prince coerce and lure and change his confession, the matter will be worse. So Weichen rejected Zhang Wangye. Seeing that the threat was unsuccessful, Zhang Wangye gave Weichen a gift and asked Weichen to help no matter what. Weichen's official position is small, and if he wants to offend Prince Zhang again, I'm afraid he will tear down Weichen's mansion. The emperor also knows that this prince even dares to go to the shogunate for the sake of the princess, what else can't he do? Weichen had no choice but to accept the gift, give him a few perfunctory words, and say that he would help him. Zhang Wang Ye left Weichen's mansion at this time. Weichen felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to find the emperor. The emperor might as well find another adult with a bigger official position to preside over this matter. ”
Jiang Che looked at the things in Shen Lian's hand and said, "This is what Chu Yu gave you?" Bring it to me. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Guan Lisheng took the thing in Shen Lian's hand and showed it to Jiang Che, it was a pair of fine jade Ruyi. Jiang Che took Yu Ruyi in his hand and looked at it, and said, "Chu Yu wants to use this little thing to save the princess's life?" He must have underestimated the princess, right? ”
Shen Lian knelt there without saying much.
Jiang Che said again, "Shen Lian, is that what you can do?" I have put you on duty in the Criminal Department, if you are so afraid of the powerful, then what use do I want you? ”
Shen Lian hurriedly said, "It's Weichen who is confused." Wechen is just, it's just, this one is the princess, the other is also the emperor, Wechen ......"
Jiang Che said, "Since I let you deal with this matter, I will give you absolute rights. Except for my approval, you don't have to buy anyone who comes to you. You must get this to me clear as soon as possible. In the future, if Chu Yu dares to threaten you, even if you come to tell me, I will cut his title. ”
"Wechen obeys."
Shen Lian left Jiang Che, secretly proud in his heart, and immediately went directly to the heavenly prison.
With Jiang Che's permission, he had nothing to fear.
said to the two jailers in the prison, "Come on, bring the princess out for me, if she doesn't tell the truth today, then the official will not be polite." ”
A jailer persuaded, "Does Lord Shen want to torture the princess?" She's a princess, and she's the queen's sister. I'm afraid that's not right? ”
Shen Lian glanced at him coldly and said, "If she is fake, she is not a princess, let alone the queen's sister." The emperor has given the official absolute right to preside over the matter. If you are verbose, the official will do you as well. ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones will go."
Jiang Wan was directly dragged out of the cell by two jailers. With a bracelet on her hand and an anklet on her foot, no matter how strong her martial arts are, there is nothing she can do now.
Shen Lian asked her for a long time last night, but although Shen Lian was impatient with her, he seemed to be afraid of something and didn't do anything to her. Now that she is interrogated again, Jiang Huan doesn't feel very good in her heart.
Jiang Wan was pulled to stand in front of Shen Lian, and Jiang Wan saw that there were torture instruments all around.
Shen Lian sat there, raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Princess, I advise you to hurry up." Now the evidence is conclusive, as long as you say yes, I can also give an account to the emperor. ”
"What if I say no? Shen Lian. Jiang Wan looked at Shen Lian coldly, she really felt that she was blind at the beginning, and she had fallen in love with such a traitorous villain.
"That's not up to you. You have to be rude, hey, the official is really a little reluctant to face your beauty. ”
"You don't have to pretend here. Are you going to torture me? Come on, I see what you have up your sleeve. ”
"It's really embarrassing. Come and torture. ”
Jiang Wan was first pressed directly on the stool, and hit sixty boards, feeling that her skin was open and she couldn't stand anymore.
It seems that Shen Lian wanted to give her something light at first.
"Are you a fake Xie Ning? Do you have any purpose in approaching Prince Zhang and the emperor? Shen Lian asked her.
Jiang Wan gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.
"Tie it up and hit me."
Soon Jiang Wan was tied to the shelf again, and the saltwater-soaked whip whipped her body one after another. Jiang Wan endured the pain, but kept it all in her heart. Sooner or later, she will have to settle this account with Shen Lian.
"Don't you say it yet? By the way, you don't expect your good husband to come and save you. The emperor has already issued an order, if Prince Zhang still dares to meddle in this matter, then his prince will not be able to do it. So, you better tell the truth obediently, so that you don't suffer a little bit of flesh and skin. ”
"Phew!" Jiang Wan took a sip at Shen Lian.
