Chapter 362: Searching for the Witnesses of That Year
Yu Zihuan is truly foolish. He doesn't even consider why those people dare to play tricks on him so blatantly.
[I secretly sent people to keep an eye on Yu Zihuan's movements. Of course, I couldn't let him make a single cent.]
"I secretly instructed those employers not to give Yu Zihuan any money. The Chu family, relying on my cousin, holds considerable influence in Jinzhou. Who would offend the Chu family over a poor scholar?"
[Besides, isn't free labor good?]
Chu Zhuangyuan spoke out his inner thoughts without any scruples, telling all the disgusting things he had done.
Shen Zhao was extremely angry, and it was because he relied on Chu Mu again!
Indirectly speaking, all of Yu Zihuan's suffering was caused by Chu Mu.
Without Chu Mu as the leader, how could the Chu family destroy a person so easily?
Then the old patriarch’s voice made Shen Zhao even more angry.
[The top scholar wasn't ruthless enough back then. I've already informed all the clinics in Jinzhou City not to treat Yu Zihuan.]
[Humph! I didn't expect those people to be so blatantly disobeying me. They simply raised the price of his treatment and continued to see him! No wonder Yu Zihuan didn't die then!]
[After I settle the champion, I will return to Jinzhou and make sure those clinics look good. Chu Mu is not only a general now, but also a prince.]
[The Chu family can now truly walk freely in Jinzhou without any worries.]
Chen Zhao sneered. He wanted to rely on her status as a prince to return to Jinzhou and do whatever he wanted. But it all depended on whether she agreed or not.
She wanted to prevent these people from even setting foot outside Kyoto.
Not only for Yu Zihuan, but also for her back then.
The thoughts of the other members of the Chu family were all about the evil they had done to Zihuan.
Yu Zihuan and Qiu Niang’s fate is inseparable from the efforts of every member of the Chu family.
Even the fact that Qiu Niang was redeemed by Rong the Butcher for eight taels of silver was a secret arrangement made by the Chu family to the brothel.
Even the eight taels of silver were given to Butcher Rong by the Chu family.
They just couldn't bear to see Yu Zihuan do anything good. When they couldn't torture Yu Zihuan, they started to torture the people he cared about the most.
These beasts took it as pleasure to humiliate Yu Zihuan and admired his struggle at the bottom of society.
He fell into the quagmire again and again, and was pressed firmly into the mud by the huge mountain of the Chu family, unable to turn over or breathe.
Chen Zhao felt extremely sad as he looked at Yu Zihuan who was crying at the top of his lungs.
Even if she just listened to Yu Zihuan's narration, she felt suffocated.
What’s more, Yu Zihuan has experienced all these things.
If the Yu family had not helped in the beginning, there would be no Chu family later.
The Yu family saved a vicious wolf that was about to tear them apart and swallow them alive.
Yu Zihuan was still crying, and Ji Yuan couldn't help but step forward and stroke the child's back, silently comforting him.
The Chu family felt extremely happy when they saw Yu Zihuan completely collapse.
Chu Zhuangyuan feigned sympathy and said, "We were both in Jinzhou, but I never thought you, Zihuan, would live such a miserable life."
"Even though you are miserable, you can't deny the fact that you stole my money."
"There was witnesses and evidence on that day. Yu Zihuan, you can't refute this."
The old patriarch also said: "Mu'er, your great-uncle knows that you have a kind heart, but some people are not worthy of sympathy."
Chen Zhao smiled and said, "Indeed, some people are not worthy of pity." Did he treat her as the fool Chu Mu?
She would investigate and restore the truth of the matter and would never listen to what these beasts said.
Everyone in the Chu family was happy.
[Yu Zihuan, this idiot, didn't even realize where he was and who he was in front of. Chu Mu is a member of the Chu family, so why would he help someone from another family?]
[Yu Zihuan, I will never let you, a stumbling block, become an obstacle to my fame. This time, I want you dead!]
He was still too young to actually talk about the true love between him and a prostitute in front of so many people. Even if there was true love, who would sympathize with a prostitute? It was really ridiculous.
Yu Zihuan is in big trouble. Cousin, please drive him away immediately. Once he returns to Jinzhou, he will never be able to leave the city again.
【……】
There were constant sounds of satisfaction in their hearts, all waiting for her to deal with Yu Zihuan.
"Someone come here!" Shen Zhao gave an order.
The Chu family members became excited and looked at Yu Zihuan with even more pride.
Chu Mu wanted to throw Yu Zihuan out.
"Pass on this king's order..." Shen Zhao paused deliberately.
She saw that the Chu family's eyes were shining.
"Send people to Jinzhou to thoroughly investigate the incident. Find all the students who knew about it and interrogate them one by one."
What!
The Chu family members widened their eyes.
After talking for a long time, Chu Mu still wanted to seek justice for Yu Zihuan.
Is he confused?
Can’t you see how much the Chu clan members hate Yu Zihuan!
There was also a hint of panic in Chu Zhuangyuan's eyes.
Although he did what he did back then perfectly, if you look closely you can still find loopholes.
Especially the two people who exchanged silver and money, who relied on knowing his secret to stick to him and suck his blood.
Because the two men's families also had influence in Jinzhou, he tried many times to get rid of them, but unfortunately each attempt ended in failure.
The last time, they both noticed it, and they took advantage of it to suck my blood even more unscrupulously.
Even when the Chu family students came to Beijing early this time, those two followed them.
He is responsible for all the food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and defecating.
They are now housed in Liuyun Inn.
The guards who obeyed the order were about to pack up their luggage and rush to Jinzhou at full speed.
"Wait, go to Liuyun Inn and invite all the students from Jinzhou. Tell them that I want to entertain my fellow countrymen."
When Shen Zhao said this, everyone was stunned.
What does Chu Mu mean by this?
Did he forget that they are a family just now and remember it now?
Only Chu Zhuangyuan's expression changed drastically.
Did Chu Mu know something?
No way! No way!
How could this be!
But how did he know that the two were in Liuyun Inn?
No, I have to inform them both immediately and ask them to leave quickly.
Just when Chu Zhuangyuan wanted to make an excuse to leave, Shen Zhao spoke again.
"This prince has been keeping an eye on the students coming from Jinzhou, and has even contacted the innkeepers in Kyoto City, asking them to keep me informed of any students from Jinzhou staying at their inns."
Chu Zhuangyuan breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it is.
He said that Chu Mu was not a god and it was impossible for him to know everything.
But he hadn't completely let out the breath yet.
Shen Zhao spoke again:
“Instead of going to Jinzhou to look for someone, it would be better to ask the students from Jinzhou to inquire about what happened that year.
If that doesn't work, it won't be too late to send someone to Jinzhou."
Chu Zhuangyuan's heart was instantly lifted again.
The guards received the order and left immediately.
Chu Zhuangyuan kept comforting himself.
The two men had promised him that they would never betray him.
Besides, they were accomplices in the frame-up of Yu Zihuan, and there would be no benefit for them to tell the truth.
Shen Zhao listened to Chu Zhuangyuan's inner thoughts and sneered in his heart, "You will never betray him, right?"
That's because the benefits are not enough. As long as there is enough temptation in front of them, they will not only betray Chu Zhuangyuan.
He will also sell out Chu Zhuangyuan completely.
