Chapter 115: Lao Xie is blessed
After returning home, Shen Lingyu sent someone to Yuchun Tower to find Pei Lanzhi.
The dog man was looking for flowers outside and asked Liu that she didn't care, but if she dared to cause trouble for her, she couldn't sit idly by.
Unexpectedly, when the next person came back from Yuchun Tower, he brought back a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Third lady, no, the third master was suddenly arrested by the people of Dali Temple, saying that the nameless male corpse case in Yingxue Lake is related to the third master!"
"By the way, the old bustard of Yuchun Lou also explained to the little one, saying that the third master owes them thousands of taels of silver, and if this money is not paid back, she will report to the official!"
Shen Lingyu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Pei Lanzhi to cause so many things at once.
The money owed to Yuchunlou is nothing, anyway, it is the debt of the General's Mansion, and if you really want to repay it, then use the General's Mansion as collateral.
The most important thing is the case of the nameless male corpse in Yingxue Lake, for no reason, how can it be related to Pei Lanzhi?
Obviously, when he came back last night, he had never heard of that case!
Without waiting for Shen Lingyu to think clearly, Mrs. Pei rushed from Suxi Hall with a white face.
Suddenly something so big happened that the old lady was so anxious that she almost couldn't walk steadily.
"The third daughter-in-law, you should quickly think of a way to save him, the third child has never done any bastard things since he was a child, and it is impossible to kill anyone!"
Haven't done a jerk?
Shen Lingyu laughed angrily all of a sudden.
"Don't you mess up when you have an affair with your sister-in-law? Or do you owe a lot of bad debts in Yuchun Building? If he is really a man who stands up to the sky, he will not be caught in Dali Temple at this time, and the old lady is too indulgent to her precious son! β
When the old lady saw that she began to dig through old accounts, she was also annoyed.
"Lan Zhi is a piece of meat that fell from my body, can I not understand him? If you hadn't done your duty as a wife, things wouldn't have gotten to where they are today. β
Shen Lingyu listened with a cold face, sneering on his face.
"In the end, it's not the time for you to say that it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, since you swear by his character, then what is there to worry about, when Dali Temple finds out the truth, he will be released."
The old lady never expected that Shen Lingyu would actually use this to block her, and she was so angry that she almost pouted.
"It's one thing for me to believe him, it's another thing for the court and the emperor to believe him or not! The third daughter-in-law, no matter how many grievances there are between you and the third child, he is still your husband after all, if he has three long and two short, you will have nothing to rely on in this world in the future, no matter what, you must save him! β
It's even funnier to say.
When did she rely on Pei Lanzhi? Not before, and not in the future.
But this thing is really incredible, she doesn't believe in Pei Lanzhi's innocence, she just feels a little inexplicable.
After thinking about it, Shen Lingyu still took a carriage to Dali Temple.
Not to save people, just to find out the inside story, after all, there are still a batch of unknown goods in her shop.
If this fire burns on her, it will be a big loss.
When I arrived at Dali Temple, I learned after some inquiry that Pei Lanzhi was temporarily put in prison.
So Shen Lingyu could only go to the court to find Zhu Wei first.
When Zhu Wei saw her, he said calmly: "The third lady is here to find Pei Lingshi?" β
Shen Lingyu pursed her lips and nodded, "Lord Zhu, how can the nameless male corpse case have anything to do with my husband?" β
"Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion after two days of inspection, finally found out the identity of the deceased, he was a rich child, since he was a child, he did not learn and did not know, and he loved to make friends with people of three religions and nine streams, so he raised a bunch of Lan Xi, became a smoker gambler, not to mention the loss of his family property, and owed a large amount of gambling debts."
"It just so happened that at this time, one of the official's subordinates said that Pei Lingshi was also looking for him in the past two days, and the official felt something different, so he stared at Pei Lingshi for a day, but found out that the list of debts owed by the deceased was in Pei Lingshi's hands, so he suspected that the person's death might be related to Pei Lingshi, so he brought him back for interrogation."
Zhu Wei explained to her very carefully, and did not let go of any details.
Shen Lingyu frowned and said: "But this doesn't mean anything, the reason why my husband is looking for him may just be to let him repay his debts......
Zhu Wei interrupted without waiting for her to finish speaking.
"This official also thought so at the beginning, but Pei Lingshi said that it is natural to repay debts, and it is not a pity to dare to resist."
Shen Lingyu was stunned for an instant.
Pei Lanzhi is crazy, right? You can say that!
Or did he rely on himself to enter the officialdom, so he could really be unable to take people's lives without Tiancao?
Shen Lingyu sighed and said, "Then how do you plan to try this case?" β
"Since he is interrogated properly and does not cooperate, he can only be tortured."
Zhu Wei spoke in a light tone, as if he was drinking tea and eating.
"But after all, he is the third master of the Zhuguo General's Mansion......"
"So what, the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the third son of Pei Sangong?"
Zhu Wei's two sentences made Shen Lingyu speechless, and then remembered another thing, and begged Zhu Wei for help.
Zhu Wei listened, and his expression instantly became serious.
"Really?"
Shen Lingyu said: "I'm just suspicious, as for the truth or falsehood, I have to wait for Lord Zhu to interrogate to find out." β
Zhu Wei pondered for a moment, then got up from his chair suddenly.
"Come with me."
As he spoke, he went to the prison.
Shen Lingyu stroked his stomach and slowly followed.
Zhu Wei saw her movements, pursed his lips, and deliberately slowed down his pace.
"More than four months, right?"
"Huh?"
Shen Lingyu didn't understand for a while, but when he saw his eyes, he reacted, and nodded lightly.
"Hmm."
Zhu Wei said with a smile: "Lao Xie is blessed, it is not in vain that he risked his death to enter the palace to ask for medicine for you, how can it be like me, I am old, and I haven't even found a beautiful woman yet!" β
Shen Lingyu listened intently to his words, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"He risked his life to enter the palace to ask for medicine for me...... When? β
Zhu Wei raised his eyebrows, "Didn't Lao Xie tell you, just when there was a plague before, you suddenly became poisonous, and Doctor Mo said that Tianshan Snow Lotus might be able to cure the poison in your body, but it was already past the curfew at that time, Lao Xie was afraid that the emperor would blame, so he stabbed himself in the heart, and then he successfully got the medicine." β
Shen Lingyu paused, and couldn't help but think of the old scar she saw on Pei Lanzhi's chest the night that person was stabbed by Pei Lanzhi.
At that time, she also said him righteously, he was angry that she had no conscience, and now that she thinks about it, isn't she just without a conscience?
It's just that he did something like that, and he didn't want to tell her how he could blame her after a misunderstanding.
She really didn't know anything at the time......
Shen Lingyu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a while.
The only person he loves wholeheartedly in his heart is Princess Ronghua, but he treats her like this, is a person like him affectionate or ruthless?
While pondering, the two arrived at the prison.
Zhu Wei didn't let Shen Lingyu in, but only stood outside the torture room.
The two jailers dragged Pei Lanzhi out of the cell and tied him directly to the wooden frame without saying anything.
Pei Lanyi looked at this posture and was scared.
"Lord Zhu, youβWhat are you doing here?"
