Chapter 204 What to do if the old lady pretends to be crazy? Beat her!
"Lord Fang, stay."
Fang Shuren's heart trembled.
He began to hallucinate that someone was calling him. Time is merciless, and that's what happens when you get older.
He quickened his pace.
Chen Zhao looked at Lord Fang who was about to slip out of the courtyard and asked again, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Lord Fang?"
Lord Fang's thin back stiffened noticeably. He was not hallucinating, someone was indeed calling him.
The one who called him was General Chu, the person he least wanted to see at the moment.
It's definitely not good to be associated with him.
He turned around reluctantly, with his signature smile on his face.
"General Chu, did you call me back because you have something important to tell me?"
I screamed madly in my heart: Chu, you better be okay!
Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking my legs and relying on you.
"Nothing important, I just want to go to Jingzhao Yin with Lord Fang."
Shen Zhao spoke lightly, but Fang Shuren was nervous.
Last time, he went to Jingzhao Yin with the young master of the Xie family and the young master of the Pang family.
After they left, he was put under pressure from the Pang and Xie families.
He was also dragged by the emperor to the study and given a severe scolding.
Ask him if it's hard to carry his head on his shoulders. If it's not hard, why does he bother to get involved in the affairs of the Jingzhong Camp and the Pang family?
Could he have imprisoned the young general of the Beijing Camp for no reason?
He felt really wronged.
He couldn't afford to offend the Pang family, and Master Pang personally ordered him to arrest people.
How dare he not catch it!
Now that General Chu is going back to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen with him, nothing good is sure to happen.
"I wonder what General Chu is going to do at the government office?"
He had to ask even if he had to grit his teeth. If nothing worked, he would just take sick leave and go home, letting Mr. Chu deal with it himself.
"Master Fang, you forgot that my mother's murderer is still imprisoned by Jingzhao Yin.
I wonder what stage the case has reached?"
She also wanted to go and see the vicious woman.
But before going to see the vicious woman, she had to send someone out of the city to pick someone up.
Lord Fang was obviously relieved.
So that's what happened. Why didn't you tell me earlier? It scared him so much.
His face was filled with smiles, this time from the heart.
"I have already sent people to Jinzhou to investigate the case. They are on their way now. General Chu, rest assured that my people will arrive in Jinzhou in less than seven days if they gallop.
By the way, General Chu, I would like to apologize here first. This incident involves your Chu family.
I will invite the Chu family members who know about what happened back then. If there is any offense, please forgive me, General Chu."
"No problem, it's only right to investigate the case according to the law. Lord Fang, just follow the rules and don't worry about anything else.
Let’s go, Master Fang.”
Fang Shuren followed closely behind Shen Zhao.
Chu Mu followed the old doctor and others to see Madam Shen.
Although he was very reluctant, Mrs. Shen was always A Zhao's mother in name only.
Ah Zhao cares about his father and brother the most, and he will definitely not watch his father and brother feel sad because of Madam Shen.
Shen Zhao boarded the carriage of the general's mansion and immediately ordered Chu Yi to go to Wangjia Village outside the city to look for an old woman named Aunt Cheng.
Chu Yi took the order and left immediately.
Shen Zhao leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage stopped steadily, and just as the curtain was opened, a white-haired head came in.
"General Chu, please."
Chen Zhao looked at Fang Shuren's wrinkled face and hummed lightly.
Along the way, the adults above were chattering about how they had interrogated the vicious woman in the past two days.
The vicious woman said those words again, and Shen Zhao listened patiently.
Soon they arrived at the cell where the old lady was imprisoned.
The old lady, who was once graceful and elegant, now looked like a madman.
The brocade clothes on his body had long been taken off and replaced with prison clothes.
I don't know how many people had worn that prison uniform, it was covered in disgusting filth.
It emits a strong stench.
The old lady's black hair had already turned white.
His hair was disheveled like a madman, and his drooping eyelids suddenly opened wide the moment he saw Shen Zhao.
He struggled to get up from the filthy ground.
"Mu'er...Mu'er, are you here to take mother back? It's so cold and dirty here, and someone is beating her up. Hurry up and take her away. Give these people a lesson. I'm the old lady of the general's mansion."
At this moment, the old lady's face was full of fear and expectation.
Chen Zhao turned his head to look at Fang Shuren and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Fang Shuren chuckled, took a long whip from the wall beside him, and handed it to the yamen runner behind him, saying, "Someone is pretending to be crazy again. Beat him hard. Stop when he regains his senses."
He is so old, but she still pretends to have amnesia in front of him, and he lets her pretend.
The bailiff behind him took the whip, opened the cell door, and walked in expressionlessly.
He raised the whip and hit the old lady hard.
The old lady uttered a shrill cry of pain: "Mu'er...my child, save me..."
The whip fell again and again. Shen Zhao looked at the old lady rolling on the ground without calling for a stop.
The old lady finally couldn't stand it anymore and cursed, "You bastard! You bastard who will end your family lineage! Why don't you tell them to stop?"
"Stop!" Shen Zhao shouted to the yamen runner who was about to beat him.
The old lady was able to catch her breath. She tried several times to climb up from the ground but failed. She held up her arms and looked straight at Shen Zhao.
A pair of cloudy eyes filled with viciousness.
He laughed wildly and said, "My life is worth it. Even if I die now, I will have lived decades longer than your bitch mother. That bitch Yu has long turned into a handful of yellow earth. After her death, she was cursed and no one worshipped her.
And I, because of the blessing of you, a lowly creature, enjoy wealth, luxury, fine clothes and delicious food. I hear you call me mother every day, listen to my orders and treat me with utmost respect, and my heart is filled with joy.
Do you know that when I saw your admiring face towards me, I wanted to laugh out loud on the spot. How could there be such a stupid person in this world who actually regards a thief as his mother?
You have ruined my reputation, and I will make you childless. Without heirs, what's the difference between you and a castrated eunuch? Haha...
Idiot, you idiot! It's a waste that you married a beautiful daughter-in-law like Shen.
I even suspect that if I don't give you the medicine, you won't be able to have children.
After all, because of a few words from me and others, you were able to endure not entering Shen's room for two years.
You’re just not capable of that…”
The old lady scolded vigorously, but Shen Zhao remained motionless and there was no anger on his face.
Why was she angry? The vicious woman was not scolding her.
Fang Shuren listened to these dirty words, then looked at General Chu who looked calm, and a trace of admiration rose in his heart.
He remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. This truly shows how strong his character is.
The old lady's voice became hoarse the more she scolded. Looking at Shen Zhao who seemed fine, she felt anxious and angry in her heart.
Even if he was a blockhead, he should have reacted to such an insult.
Her curses didn't make any waves in front of him.
This made the old lady very frustrated and angry.
He gasped and stared at Chen Zhao, as if he could stare two holes in him.
"Have you scolded enough?" Shen Zhao's tone was calm, as if the old lady was not scolding her just now.
"Then it's my turn."
When Shen Zhao said this, several people were shocked.
Fang Shuren: Is this what I understood?
The yamen runners: Is this what we understood?
Old Lady: This is definitely not something that grew up under my persecution.
