Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chen Rufeng is punished

"Yes, no one is allowed to destroy the scene of the crime without receiving the order." The steward replied.

Lin Xin'er walked towards the prison without saying a word.

Simon Che hurriedly followed, looking at her unsteady footsteps, he was very worried, raised his hand to hook her waist, and led her quickly towards the prison again.

He already knew about Lin Xin'er's assassination in prison, and when he saw Tao Gonggong fall in the cell with a knife, he was even more shocked.

If the guards hadn't discovered it in time, wouldn't it have been Lin Xin'er who fell there now?

Lin Xin'er stood outside the iron fence, her eyes swept over Gonggong Tao lightly, and landed on the eunuch uniform she took off on the side.

The fingers hidden in the sleeves moved slightly, and a dark aura struck over.

That was when she was close to Chen Rufeng, the smell of his body that secretly condensed, which had been gathered at her fingertips and specially reserved for Gonggong Tao.

In this way, Father-in-law Tao's clothes have the same smell as Chen Rufeng's body, and this time Chen Rufeng can't escape.

can only blame him for being unclean, but she sensed the scent of jasmine that shouldn't be there, and it was easier to attack him.

Lin Xin'er practiced the Water Moon Exercise, and when she was concentrating and calming, she could smell an extremely faint smell that was difficult for others to detect, and she seized the opportunity to start by using the jasmine fragrance emanating from Chen Rufeng's body.

went to the Imperial Garden privately, and he must have hidden an ulterior motive, maybe he wanted to deal with her and the Taishi Mansion who were not killed, but the plan was not taken into account, and he became someone else's substitute for the dead.

It's not just right to take him down like this.

Lin Xin'er retracted her gaze, turned around and walked silently towards the outside of the prison.

"Aunt Huang." Ximen Che followed her, and he couldn't stand Lin Xin'er's ignorance of him.

"Chen Rufeng must be responsible for the assassination of me, the death of Mrs. Shui Qing is destined to me and him, and the Taishi Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion are incompatible." Lin Xin'er stopped, turned her back to Ximen Che, and said in a calm tone.

"Mrs. Shuiqing...... Is Uncle Huang deliberately trying to embarrass you? Ximen Che stood behind Lin Xin'er, looked at the thin and weak back, pulled his dry throat, and asked with difficulty. No matter how you look at it, Lin Xin'er is weak and can't stand on the side of harm.

"What if so?" Lin Xin'er smiled lightly, thinking that this Ximen Che was actually not confused, but he was too wanton and easy to get angry, but this was also good for her, if it weren't for him, it would not be easy for her to come to prison first, and she would have to use some means to make use of him, and it would be much easier to use him.

"It's all my ......" Simon's eyes were gloomy, and the simple three words exuded all the depression in his heart.

It's all him, if there is no refusal to marry, how can there be all the rights and wrongs behind? In his opinion, everything that happened around Lin Xin'er was Ximen Jingxuan's means against her, and he should have thought that King Xuan would not really leave Lin Xin'er as a concubine.

"Wow!"

With two barks, the dog rushed in from the outside, passed between Ximen Che and Lin Xin'er, rushed into the iron prison through the small open door on one side, picked up Tao Gonggong's shirt and ran out.

The dog trainer rushed to the door of the cell and caught what the dog had given him.

"Does it mean that this shirt smells the same as Chen Rufeng's body?" Simon Che asked as he took a few steps forward.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, exactly." The dog trainer said.

"Chen Rufeng!" Simon said his name hatefully and hurried out of the cell door.

Looking at Ximen Che's back that was almost furious, Lin Xin'er thought to herself that he must have been so angry when he insisted on refusing to marry that day, or even worse.

It seems that she doesn't need to say anything more about the rest of the matter.

Outside the cell, Ximen Jinglie and his group arrived and saw the clothes in the hands of the dog trainer who followed Ximen Che out of the prison, and immediately knew the result.

"Lord Chen, what happened when you met Gonggong Tao in the jasmine bush in the Imperial Garden?" Ximen Jinglie didn't look back, and asked in a calm tone.

"Please let the emperor know, Weichen doesn't know any Tao Gonggong at all!" Chen Rufeng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"There is no proof of Gonggong Tao's death, let you deny it." Ximen Jinglie still said in an unhurried tone, "However, you didn't expect to conclude the connection between the two of you based on the same jasmine fragrance on your body. You said that you went to the Imperial Garden to covet the beautiful scenery, so how could Gonggong Tao, as a eunuch who had served in the criminal house for many years, not know where he should go and where he should not go? If there was nothing special, how could he go to the Imperial Garden? ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen really doesn't know Gonggong Tao, Weichen has been an official for decades, how can he not know what not to do and what not to do?" Chen Rufeng kowtowed repeatedly, but it was too sudden, and he was caught off guard.

He thought carefully about his contact with people in the Imperial Garden, and he didn't notice that there were suspicious people nearby, and he couldn't figure out how Grandpa Tao happened to have been to the Imperial Garden and was touched by the smell of jasmine.

It would be easy to explain if something else happened, but Lin Xin'er's assassination happened, which was his enmity with Lin Xin'er, which made people have to affirm his unwarranted behavior.

"What do you know not to do? Knowing that you still went to the Imperial Garden privately, this prince doesn't believe it, you are just a person who covets beautiful scenery, your granddaughter is dead, and you still have the leisure to go to the Imperial Garden to hang out! Ximen Che strode up to Chen Rufeng, "Although you support the prince everywhere, the prince can't bend the law for personal gain, you have a lot of suspicions on your body, and the prince can't protect you, let your father punish you!" ”

Chen Rufeng was stunned, he didn't expect Ximen Che to target him without hesitation, and clearly pointed out that he went to the Imperial Garden with ulterior motives, so if it was not good for him, how could he say it from the prince's mouth? Didn't Simon Che know that this would destroy one of his own forces?

"First suspend Chen Rufeng's position as Shangshu, cancel all court affairs, and go back to Shangshu Mansion to wait for the verdict." Ximen Jinglie didn't say much, and immediately expressed his position.

Since his second brother and third brother joined hands to launch a rebellion eight years ago, and was almost executed by the palace, Ximen Jinglie has been strictly governing the dynasty for several years, and he is the most taboo person who has small actions in the palace, and now Chen Rufeng has hit the bull's-eye, not to mention the assassination of Lin Xin'er, even if he doesn't, just because he entered the imperial garden privately with an unknown purpose, it will be difficult to escape punishment. Chen Rufeng's reliance on the old and selling the old is not tolerated, this is not something that can be forgiven by looking at the qualifications, one step of negligence will ruin the world.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Weichen is loyal and has no two hearts......" Chen Rufeng kept shouting when he was dragged down.

Everyone will not admit their crimes before being caught, if they are really honest people, how can they become a thorn in the side of Ximen Jingxuan? How could he be caught secretly entering the Imperial Garden and secretly connecting with people?
