Zeng Shangshu persuaded Xu Xianzhong to cooperate to no avail, and was even put on the table by Xu Xianzhong, so Zeng Shangshu made the decision to give up in a fit of anger.

Overthrew Xu Xianzhong and put He Yonghua on the throne, how much manpower, material resources and thought he poured into it, Zhao Ying knew very well.

It would be a pity to give up.

"The important thing is not He Yonghua, but what is useful to us in the household department." Zeng Shangshu smoothed out, "Don't worry about He Yonghua at the moment, thinking about who should replace him is the most important thing." ”

The household department is in charge of the land, taxes, household registration, salaries and all financial related matters in Daqing, and if it loses the benefits here, it can be said that it is a heavy loss.

What's more, at this time, the queen's side will definitely find ways to arrange for her own people to go over.

What matters now is who gets ahead of the curve.

After Zhao Ying left, Zeng Shangshu was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Sir."

Fortunately, Mrs. Zeng came in time and ordered someone to find the house doctor, and Zeng Shangshu was relieved.

When Zeng Shangshu woke up, he saw that Zeng Shangshu was already crying and red-eyed, "I'm fine, what's wrong with you." ”

Mrs. Zeng was uncomfortable and aggrieved: "If the master has another good one, how can the concubine still live." ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zeng Shangshu patted Mrs. Zeng's hand to show reassurance.

This series of things is not an accident, it must have been done on purpose, and the purpose was to come at him.

It's okay to come at him, but he is worried that it will threaten Xiao Rinyou's interests.

Xiao Rinyou not only needs more forces to help, but also needs financial support, and the household department is a part that cannot be lost.

Especially now is the most critical time for Xiao Rinyou, and there can be no accidents, so he must resist.

"Help me up."

Mrs. Zeng helped Zeng Shangshu out of bed, but she couldn't help but say, "The doctor said, you need to rest." ”

"I want to eat the lotus root soup you cooked." Zeng Shangshu said to Mrs. Zeng like a child.

Mrs. Zeng had no choice, so she helped Zeng Shangshu sit down at the desk, "Okay, I'll cook it for you now." ”

But after stepping out of the door, Mrs. Zeng's face immediately sank.

She glanced back and sighed faintly.

The death of her daughter was a big blow to both of them, and now Zeng Shangshu has been hit hard in the court one after another.

Although Zeng Shangshu tried his best to restrain herself in front of her, she still knew that Zeng Shangshu was very worried.

As Zeng Shangshu said, they all understand their daughter's temperament, not to mention that her daughter urged her to ask the imperial concubine to ask the emperor for marriage, and she would not do anything to hurt herself.

So she didn't believe that her daughter would block the danger for Shen Yunshu.

After she saw that Zeng Shangshu's affairs in the court were back on track, she went to Shen Yunshu to take revenge.

Without her daughter, she has nothing to be nostalgic for in this life.

Thinking of this, she wiped away the tears on her face, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lotus root soup for Zeng Shangshu.

——

Soon, the emperor's decree to re-investigate the headless public case three years ago spread.

Zuo Huaiyuan was also regarded as the chief judge because of this.

However, with the appearance of He Yonghua, the case of Xu Shangshu's tragic death by hanging was preliminarily determined to be murdered.

He Yonghua first stated that he wanted higher rights, so he falsified the evidence.

But when Zuo Huaiyuan asked where He Yonghua put the account books left by Xu Xianzhong, he flatly denied it, saying that he didn't understand what Zuo Huaiyuan was talking about.

But when Zuo Huaiyuan said that He Yonghua and Xu Xianzhong were fellow villagers, He Yonghua knew that some things could not be concealed after all.

He and Xu Xianzhong are indeed fellow villagers, and later forged the township in order to avoid investigation, and the account book of that year was also forged after he saw the original account book.

"So, you admit that you framed Xu Xianzhong?" Zuo Huaiyuan looked at He Yonghua seriously and solemnly.

He Yonghua thought of something in a trance, and confessed his crime.

"Xu Xianzhong's death, is it related to you?" Zuo Huaiyuan continued to ask.

He Yonghua denied, "I don't know who killed him, I only wanted to take the opportunity to be promoted after he died." ”

"Is there anyone behind your back who is telling you to do this?"

Zuo Huaiyuan was thinking that He Yonghua was just a small Langzhong at the beginning, if there was no one to guide and guide him, he would not have such courage at all.

"Nope." He Yonghua denied it without hesitation.

But the more this is the case, the more Zuo Huaiyuan suspects that there must be someone behind He Yonghua.

"Do you know that framing an official of the imperial court can be punished with a hundred rods at the least, and sentenced to capital punishment and raiding the house?"

He Yonghua's attitude was still very resolute, "It's still the same sentence, no one instructed me." ”

"Okay, I'd like to see how hard you can get."

At this point, the case stopped.

Although he knew that Xu Xianzhong was murdered, it was not easy to investigate the murder case three years ago.

Zuo Huaiyuan could only temporarily detain He Yonghua first, and then try him again.

Later, Zuo Huaiyuan made an appointment with Shen Yunshu in Zuixianglou.

"How did Miss Shen know that He Yonghua and Xu Shangshu are fellow villagers?" Zuo Huaiyuan was a little curious, why Shen Yunshu knew such an important and secret thing.

Even gave him this clue.

Shen Yunshu couldn't tell that this clue was given to her by Ye Ming, and Ye Ming didn't tell her that the real source of the clue was given by Xiao Jingzhi.

"I once traveled with my grandfather, passed through Huizhou, and knew some of their local preferences and local dialects, Mrs. He and my mother are quite familiar, and I have heard some of Mrs. He's talk."

Her ability to speak easily has grown again.

"It just so happened that my mother was also familiar with Mrs. Xu back then, and I heard Mrs. Xu talk about it more or less."

Therefore, Shen Yunshu judged He Shangshu's true hometown based on some of Mrs. He's habits and hobbies.

Zuo Huaiyuan said with admiration: "I see, Miss Shen is really well-informed. ”

Shen Yunshu just smiled slightly, in fact, she still wanted to ask Xiao Jingzhi, how did she know Ye Ming again?

It's like the people she knows, the things she wants to investigate, Xiao Jingzhi knows, and she is still secretly helping.

Is this the sense of fatalism in a previous life?

"If it weren't for Miss Shen providing such important clues, I am afraid that this case would not have been as easy to carry out as it is now." Zuo Huaiyuan picked up the teacup, "Replace wine with tea, thank you Miss Shen." ”

Shen Yunshu also picked up the teacup, "Zuo Shaoqing is serious, to tell the truth, when I was a child, I followed my mother to visit Uncle Xu, and I didn't believe that Uncle Xu would do anything that endangered the interests of the imperial court, and asked Zuo Shaoqing to return Uncle Xu's innocence." ”

"Miss Shen, rest assured, this is my duty, and I will definitely do my best."

Zuo Huaiyuan also hopes to investigate the truth as soon as possible, after all, this is the first time that the emperor has entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.

"By the way, I heard Mrs. He complain to my mother before, my relative's husband has an illegitimate child, which makes the girl who is the wife very angry, but the girl has no way not to accept it, because she can't have children......"

"Wait." Zuo Huaiyuan seemed to sense a very important clue from Shen Yunshu's words, "Mrs. He and He Shangshu have been married for seven or eight years, and they have no children. ”
