Chapter 368 The Magistrate Panic

Wang Ming was about to shake his head when Chen Ren glared at him, "Think about it again!"

Wang Ming tilted his head and thought for a while, until Chen Ren became a little impatient, he said, "That girl stopped me at the entrance of Yejia Village. Judging from her dress, she must be a girl from the Shen family. Does that mean that Madam Shen is in Yejia Village?"

Chen Ren couldn't wait any longer, "Then let's go to Yejia Village now."

Wang Ming looked outside and saw that it was already pitch black. He said with embarrassment, "Sir, the road to Yejia Village is all mountainous. It's so dark now, there must be some wild animals. We... Besides, the city gate is already closed."

Chen Ren thought about it and gave up, waving his hand to let Wang Ming go out.

Wang Ming asked cautiously, "Sir, what is today's case?"

"Whoever's fault it is, it's their fault. A group of unruly people still want to go to other villages to fight, which is really rebellious against them.

Remember, you must handle this matter impartially. If I find out that you are showing partiality, I will not forgive you."

"How could I have the guts to do that?"

Just as Wang Ming was about to leave, Chen Ren stopped him again, "Come back! When you get back, give the main family member who started the trouble twenty lashes to serve as a warning to others. From now on, there will be no more such bold and unruly people in Jinshui Town."

"I understand. I understand."

After Wang Ming left, Master Li Xu came in and said, "Master Chen, I just received news that Master Chen Le has been appointed as the Imperial Envoy by the Emperor to inspect the people's sentiments on his behalf."

Chen Ren was stunned. "Didn't Lord Shen just join the Ministry of Personnel? How come?"

"Sir, it seems that what we have learned is the truth. Lord Shen is highly valued by His Majesty. Look at this?"

"It's over, it's over, Li Xu, I'm really finished, please help me think of a solution, what should I do!"

"Sir, please don't panic. Please tell me what happened slowly."

Chen Ren thought about it and told Li Xu the important parts of what Wang Ming had just told him.

Li Xu was calm, "Sir, you didn't do anything about this matter today, we will handle it impartially when the time comes.

Since Madam Shen has sent someone to deliver a message, the most urgent thing is to find out where Madam Shen is now.

Chen Ren thought what Li Xu said made sense. "Since she appeared in Yejia Village, does that mean she is in Yejia Village?"

Li Xu thought about it, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, "Sir, do you remember that day you sent me to Ye Beixiu's house to deliver the reward from the prefect, Sir Liu?"

"I remember, I remember, of course I remember, why?"

"That day, I seem to remember seeing the Shen family's carriage at Ye Beixiu's house."

"Think about it carefully again, are you seeing things wrong?"

Li Xu shook his head and said, "The Shen family's logo is quite familiar to people in our area, so we shouldn't be mistaken.

At that time, I was still wondering how the Shen family's carriage could appear here.

This thought only flashed through my mind, and was then interrupted by something.

Oh, right, I remember now. It just so happened that Ye Beixiu's wife was busy returning to Ye Village that day, and their yard was a mess. I didn't think much of it.

Chen Ren and Li Xu's eyes met, and he said in disbelief, "Could it be that Madam Shen is really in Yejia Village?

And lived in Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia's home."

"I'm sure it's correct. What Wang Ming reported today is what Ye Beixiu reported to the authorities, right?"

Chen Ren paced the room anxiously, "Li Xu, tomorrow morning, we must go to Yejia Village and meet Madam Shen in person to apologize to her.

Also, please investigate thoroughly to find out who is so blind as to cause trouble for me at this critical moment."

"Understood, my lord."

Just as Li Xu was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "Sir, your wife's niece and Zhang Juexia have a very good relationship. Why don't you find out about this tonight?

Tomorrow, we won't be disappointed!"

"Yes, yes, you still have a solution. I'll go to the back hall right away."

On the way to the back court, Chen Ren thought of the grievances Zhang Juexia suffered in the back court that day. He did not want to offend the Xu family, so he did not delve into the matter.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat again.

Then he thought again, after the incident, he also asked his wife to go to Zhang Juexia's house to comfort him, so Zhang Juexia should not hold a grudge!

Chen Ren arrived at the back court trembling with fear. He first asked Liu Wanyue, "Madam, Zhang Juexia was frightened in our back court that day. I remember I asked you to go and visit her in person with gifts. I wonder how you are getting along with her?"

Liu Wanyue happily welcomed Chen Ren, but when they met, the first thing he asked was this.

Liu Wanyue immediately frowned, "Master, you need to understand clearly who I am and who Zhang Juexia is.

I sent her some gifts, which was a great compliment to her, and there was no need for me to visit her in person."

When Chen Ren heard what Liu Wanyue said, he immediately became angry and raised his hand to slap Liu Wanyue in the face.

Liu Wanyue was also frightened. "Master, what did I do wrong? How could you treat me like this?"

Chen Ren was shocked by Liu Wanyue's words. He raised his hand high and slapped himself in the face. "You didn't do anything wrong. I did."

Liu Wanyue was completely frightened, "Master, what on earth happened? Please tell me quickly!

I, I was wrong, okay? From now on, I will definitely do what you ask of me, okay?"

Chen Ren glared at Liu Wanyue and said, "Some things are too late for you to do.

Forget it. You and I have been married for many years. I know your personality best and I shouldn't expect anything from you.

I'm asking you, what has Yingyue been doing recently? Is she home?"

Liu Wanyue wanted to say, how could she know this, but when she looked up at Chen Ren's ashen face, she immediately stopped talking, "Master, how about I go to the Li Mansion and ask her?"

"Well, it would be better to ask her if she has seen Zhang Juexia recently, and if she knows anything about Madam Shen's affairs?"

"this......"

"Just ask whatever I tell you to, ma'am. This is very important to me, do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Li Yingyue was very surprised by Liu Wanyue's late-night visit. "Aunt, what happened? Why are you here so late?"

On the way here, Liu Wanyue couldn't understand why Chen Ren reacted so strongly today.

But his performance today scared her.

When she saw Li Yingyue, she didn't say a word and asked directly, "Yingyue, have you seen Zhang Juexia recently? And are you familiar with the matter of that old lady Shen?"

Li Yingyue quickly understood what was going on. "Aunt, did your uncle ask you to come?"

Now it was Liu Wanyue's turn to be puzzled, "Yingyue, how did you know?"
