Looking at the "physical evidence" presented in the hands of his entourage, Lin was frightened. She collapsed to the ground with a limp, hugged the thigh of Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong and cried: "Grandpa, the concubine swears to the sky, she has never done this, and I hope that the grandfather will uphold justice and the concubine will be innocent!" ”

Faced with the cry of Lin's pear blossom with rain, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong's face was pale, but he reached out and took the so-called physical evidence.

A quick opening of the baggage revealed a pile of herbs that had completely dried up, as well as some jewelry, and a few yellowed pieces of stationery.

When Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong saw one of the bracelets, his pupils dilated suddenly, but he didn't question immediately, but instead focused on the yellowed letterhead.

At the same time, the entourage who was prostrate on the ground continued to tearfully say: "Grandpa, these herbs are the poisons that the eldest lady took back then, and the testimony of the pharmacy shopkeeper and the eldest lady's personal maidservant is recorded on the letterhead!" ”

In order to buy these people and not show their reputation, Mrs. Lin spared no expense to distribute her jewelry. The eldest prince has worked hard all these years to collect these ironclad evidence, and I hope that the grandfather will see it! ”

Almost as soon as the entourage's words fell, Lin retorted sharply: "Grandpa, the concubine is wronged!" ”

"Since the concubine married into the public mansion, she has never been involved in any pharmacy. Moreover, Sister Wang's maidservant died eight years ago, where did the letter testimony come from, this is Dou E's injustice! ”

"What about this? What do you explain? ”

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, picked up the jade bracelet in the jewelry, which was a gift he gave to the Lin family back then, which was extremely precious and unique in the world, and there was no possibility of counterfeiting.

"This bracelet was lost in the early years of the concubine, and now it seems that it was obtained by the eldest prince! Over the years, the concubine has been the mother of the family, and she has worked hard to regard the eldest prince as her own, and she never expected to suffer this catastrophe, she is really like ashes! ”

Lin's face was full of grief and indignation at the moment, as if he had raised a white-eyed wolf, and his enthusiasm was in vain.

Homeopathy also transferred the suspicion of murder to the unfilial piety of his stepson, which evolved into a family ethics incident.

Shen Yichen watched the "war of words" between the two sides, and now he understood why Zhu Yi had to testify against his mother Shen.

To tell the truth, under the premise that there were no photographs, video recordings, audio recordings, fingerprints and other technical means in ancient times, it was difficult to convict the dignified Duchess of the country by relying on just a few testimonies. Even these testimonies, with ancient anti-counterfeiting technology, cannot determine the authenticity of the testimony.

Just as Shen Yichen expected, Zhu Yi, who was on the hospital bed at the critical moment, struggled and said, "Father...... kiss

Children don't ...... There is only physical evidence, and there are human witnesses! ”

As soon as these words came out, the Lin family, who felt that he had some signs of turning around, instantly fell into an ice cave, and subconsciously looked at the Shen family in the house.

If anyone knows what happened back then, it must be the Shen family.

I knew that there would be today, I should have been more ruthless back then, even if my grandfather doubted it, I would have to deal with the Shen family mother and son, and there would be no proof of death!

"Grandpa, on the night of the eldest lady's death, the slave family saw Mrs. Lin standing at the door."

Without waiting for Zhu Yi to say who the witness was, the Shen family took the initiative to stand up, since he wanted to make his son no longer worry about the life he was afraid of, then there was no way back today.

"What, you know?"

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong was full of consternation, he really never thought that even the Shen family was involved in this matter back then.

"Grandpa, haven't you always been dissatisfied that the slave family left the mansion with Chen'er, this is the reason!"

Shen is also resolute at this moment, and the fact that he left the mansion with his son has become an indelible estrangement between her and Zhu Yong.

Even if it is now for the sake of Shen Yichen's face, the Shen family has returned to the mansion and raised a concubine, the relationship between the two has not changed in the slightest.

Because for Zhu Yong, a servant girl leaves the mansion with her son without permission, even if this son is not included in the genealogy, it is a challenge to his authority and blasphemy, which cannot be forgiven!

"The slave family leaving the mansion is not disrespectful to the grandfather, but to protect Chen'er's safety!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, stumbled, with his life experience, if he didn't understand all these causes and consequences, he would not be able to become the Duke of Daming who is a very popular minister today.

Zhu Yong has always thought that he has handled family affairs and state affairs very well, and his wife and son are far more filial than other second-generation declining families, and he has also received countless compliments and envy.

Now he understands that all this is an illusion, and such a disobedient thing has happened in the public mansion, but he has been kept in the dark!

At this moment, the doctor who had grabbed the medicine before walked into the house and said to Chengguogong: "Grandpa, when Xiaomin was prescribing medicine and consulting the medical book just now, he found that the poison in the eldest prince was very similar to taking red letter stone and strychnine. ”

After finishing speaking, the doctor suddenly saw the dried herbs in the baggage, and said with a surprised face: "Why is there a strychnine here, did you find the poison that the eldest prince took?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed drastically.

If the Lin family could still quibble and refuse to admit it before, then now the poison in Zhu Yi corresponds to the medicinal herbs that the Wang family took more than ten years ago, which can be described as ironclad evidence!

"Lin, what else do you have to say?"

Zhu Yong did not use the title of Mrs., but called Lin his surname, and his intention was already obvious.

"Grandpa, don't listen to slander, the concubine is wronged!"

Lin had a premonition that something was wrong at this moment, so he hugged the thigh of Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong and cried.

Even Zhu Ji immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Zhu Yong and said, "Father, it is impossible for this matter to be done by my mother, someone must have designed a frame-up, my father must be aware of it!" ”

In the face of the pleading of the Lin family's mother and son, Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, said indifferently: "Come on, send the second son back to the house, and lock the Lin family in the warehouse." ”

With Zhu Yong's order, the guards and servants in the house rushed in, picked up the Lin family and took them outside the house.

"Grandpa, the concubine is wronged, grandpa ......"

The voice gradually faded away, and no matter how Lin cried, it became meaningless at the moment.

"Now that you know the poison in it, is there a cure for it?"

Listening to Zhu Yong's murderous inquiry, the doctor instantly recovered from the shock and said: "I know what poison is, and I can solve it by prescribing the right medicine." ”

"Doctor, please hurry up and decoct the medicine."

This time, Zhu Yong's tone was much more polite, after all, there was hope for detoxification, and the doctor also proved that he was not a quack.

"Yes, Grandpa."

As the doctor left to decoct the medicine, Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, then said to everyone in the house: "You all go back." ”

"Yes, Grandpa."

Everyone in the house obeyed the order, and no one dared to touch Zhu Yong's brow at this time.

However, Zhu Yi, who was on the sickbed, said weakly: "Father, the child wants to say a few words to Xiangbei alone." ”

"It's important for you to cultivate your body now, and you'll talk about it later."

"Father, Xiangbei will leave Jingshi in a few days, and the child should be a parting word as an elder brother."

Probably because of her emotional excitement, after Zhu Yi said this, she coughed violently.

Seeing Zhu Yi's appearance, Zhu Yong couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, pay attention to your body, don't say much." ”

After that, Zhu Yong walked out and closed the door, leaving only Shen Yichen and Zhu Yi in the room.

"Thank you for today's events."

When Zhu Yi said this, her breath was steady, and she didn't have the weak sense of endangerment that she had before.

"You're not poisoned?"

Shen Yichen's face was full of surprise, the first time he saw Zhu Yi after returning home, he felt that he was about to die, could it be acting?

"Of course it's poisoned, otherwise how can I pull the Lin family into the water."

Zhu Yi said this sentence with a wry smile, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was particularly dazzling.

"Sure enough, it's all your plan."

In fact, from the moment Shen Yichen heard the news of the Gongfu family, his heart was full of doubts, and he felt too sudden.

It's just that at that time, he wasn't sure whether this had something to do with Zhu Yi or the Lin family.

It wasn't until he came to the house and watched the situation lead step by step towards the poisoning of the Lin family that Shen Yichen actually had the answer.

There are no such coincidences in the world, and even if there is, it is impossible to be so well prepared. After the whole process, Lin was completely stunned, and there was no chance of turning the tables.

Using his example as bait to complete revenge, this ruthless method of letting go, even Shen Yichen had to admire it sincerely.

It is worthy that after the Tumubao Incident, he restored the deprived Duke of Chengguo, and also helped Zhu Yong complete the second generation of the top honorable relatives who were rehabilitated.

"No poison is not a husband, not to mention the revenge of killing my mother!"

Zhu Yi replied to Shen Yichen with a sharp face, the hatred that had accumulated for more than ten years was finally released today.

"Then what will happen to the Lin clan next?"

Shen Yichen didn't want to dwell on Zhu Yi's methods anymore, he was only worried that if the grass was cut and not eradicated, the Lin family would be able to escape this catastrophe.

When the biggest handle is gone, the other party will definitely retaliate unscrupulously.

"How will she be, you will soon know."

"In that case, the eldest prince has a good rest and will take his leave first."

Everything that should be known is known, Shen Yichen doesn't want to continue talking, this time the alliance is purely forced by the situation, and he and Zhu Yi are not all the way after all.

When he turned around and walked to the door, Shen Yichen looked at the incriminating evidence in the baggage out of the corner of his eyes, and a doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Prince, these physical evidence ......"

"Fake."

As if knowing what Shen Yichen was thinking, Zhu Yi did not hide it in the slightest this time and told the truth.

Hearing this, Shen Yichen showed a mocking smile on his face, no wonder Zhu Yi never showed physical evidence from beginning to end, nor did he reveal his plan.

It turns out that he didn't have it at all!

Now it seems that Zhu Yi is still a step ahead, and he is also in his calculations.

"My lord, I hope we won't be enemies in the future."

At this moment, Shen Yichen felt a deep fear in his heart, even in the face of Wang Zhen, he had never done so.

"To the north, I'm not the kind of person you think I am."

"It doesn't matter."

After Shen Yichen said this lightly, he pushed open the door and walked out.

A few days later, the Chengguo Mansion hung a white silk mourning flag, announcing that the Duchess of the Kingdom had a sudden illness and died.

At the cost of his own poisoning, Zhu Yi made Lin's actions break through the bottom line of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and was doomed to have no way to live.

However, all this has nothing to do with Shen Yichen, as soon as the sky is slightly bright, he led A Niu, Bian He and some Fujian miners to embark on the journey to Shandong.

It was just not long after leaving the Nine Gates of the Beijing Division, the carriage was stopped, and at the same time, a voice came from outside the curtain: "May I ask if the person on the car is Shen Xiu, who went to Shandong to serve as Shen Xiu of the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Hearing someone call his name, Shen Yichen opened the corner of the car curtain and found that at some point, there were hundreds of people standing on both sides of the road. And judging from the green shirts and robes, these people at least have a reputation for showing talent.

This scene made Shen Yichen feel a little inexplicable, he simply lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, and arched his hand: "Below is Shen Xiangbei of the Hanlin Academy, dare to ask who you are?" ”

Seeing Shen Yichen appear, everyone on the side of the road showed an excited look on their faces, and some people immediately replied: "Shen Xiu, everyone below is a student of the Guozijian, and I deeply feel the grace of Yutang to save the Da Si clan, and I am here to send you today!" ”

"Shen Baixian, we are students of Shandong Guild Hall. On behalf of all the people of Shandong, I would like to thank Shen Yixian for his selflessness, please accept our worship! ”

"We are too students, we have listened to the lectures of the prince of the Principality, and now in combination with the matter of water control, we understand what it means to be used in the world, which is the grace of preaching and teaching!"

All the literati on the side of the road expressed their intentions, and even Shen Yichen was stunned, he never thought that one day, he would encounter such a scene.

What makes Shen Yichen even more gratified is that there are students who agree with his academic views.

You must know that after the lecture of Guozijian ended, Shen Yichen was subjected to overwhelming abuse and attacks, and even the officials of the Daoist Department were collectively negligent, refuting them as fallacies to confuse the public, and wanted the emperor to ask for the guilt.

If Wang Zhen hadn't blocked this wave of impeachment, maybe even Zhu Qizhen would have had to give an explanation to the public officials.

All kinds of incidents made Shen Yichen understand that if he wanted to change the thinking of the world, it could not be done overnight, and he didn't even think that anyone would be able to accept his concept.

But today, he saw the younger generations of literati who identified with him, and the seeds planted at the beginning began to sprout, and I am not alone!

Not only did these Jingshi students come, but soon two familiar faces appeared in the crowd, and Shang Lu and Xiao Yi also came to see them off in person.

"Brother Shang, Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

Shen Yichen was pleasantly surprised, in fact, when he left the East Pavilion, Shang Yu and Xiao Yi looked for him and said that they would come to see him off.

However, Shen Yichen refused at that time, he felt that there was no need, and it was not that the demotion was gone and would never return, so why should it be so serious and grand.

Unexpectedly, they still came.

"To the north, you are low-key, if it weren't for Brother Shang's prediction, UU would definitely miss today's farewell."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Shang Yi also leaned over and said: "To the north, after many years, it is not hypocritical to say goodbye, why do you need to be so free and easy." ”

"Okay, then I'll thank you for today's long pavilion."

After saying that, Shen Yichen bowed to Shang and Xiao Yi, and at the same time turned sideways and gave a long bow to the scholars of Jingshi who saw him off.

Just as Shen Yichen got up, there was a galloping sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a middle-aged man in regular clothes dismounted and stood in front of him.

"Shen Xiu, long admiration."

I saw that this middle-aged man had a majestic appearance, extraordinary momentum, slightly dark skin, and the action of riding a horse, with the posture of a military general.

Shen Yichen followed the path of a civil official, and the generals had almost no contact except for Xun Qi and Ying Tianfu's classmates.

So he asked a little confusedly: "Jiuyang, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

"Squire of the military department, Yu Tingyi."
