Chapter 419 Confusion
Chu Yang looked at the Prince of Yuzhang, and when he moved his neck, his chest and back felt like they were cramping.
Young Master Shen really hit hard this time.
However, Chu Yang felt that he was not wronged by this beating, and more importantly, he was happy.
Because he was young and ignorant, the troublemaker Shen Ling lost his teeth and beat Young Master Shen. He was deceived by his own father and believed that the Shen family moved to avoid him, the devil star.
Fortunately, Chen Wan saw that Chen Ling was interested in him, and Xie Jingyu was a man who doted on his wife. He would fulfill anything Chen Wan wanted to do, which was why he asked him if he was willing to marry Chen Ling on the day of her departure.
He thought the question was strange at the time and didn't think much about it. It was just that figure had been buried deep in his heart for so many years and he didn't dare to touch it.
After learning from the eldest young master of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion that someone wanted to marry Chen Ling, he could no longer hold back and rushed back at full speed.
Xie Jingyu wanted to bring him and Shen Ling together, and since Xie Jingyu had plenty of experience in ruining marriages, he came to Xie Jingyu for help.
He didn't know how long it would take to come back from Jizhou. He hadn't had a good talk with Shen Ling in all these years. He couldn't help it, so he went to find Shen Ling.
But he didn't expect that he would be so unreliable and gave the "As if I were here in person" token given by the emperor to Shen Ling as a family heirloom jade pendant.
He didn't have time to go back to Beijing to ask Chen Ling for it, but he knew that Chen Ling would definitely ask someone to give it to him, so he continued to rush to Jizhou with peace of mind.
But he didn't expect that Shen Ling was afraid that he would be scolded, so he didn't dare to tell anyone about the token. He took the risk and went to Jizhou to deliver the token to him.
Shen Ling left a letter and left home. General Shen and his wife were worried, so the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Dan, went after his sister.
Although Chen Ling was the daughter of a military general, she was also weak and even more so, her sense of direction was not very good. Not long after leaving Beijing, she got lost and went in the wrong direction.
Young Master Shen chased all the way to Jizhou. When he arrived, it was raining heavily. As soon as he got there, a landslide occurred and almost buried him alive.
Young Master Shen traveled in the rain, and when he arrived, Jizhou was already in chaos.
Chu Yang was so happy to see Master Shen. He thought Master Shen was here to give him a token, but Shen Dan dismounted and the first thing he asked him was, "Where's Ling'er?"
Chu Yang, “……???”
Isn't Shen Ling in Kyoto?
How to ask him?
Chu Yang had a bad feeling in his heart, "Ling'er came to Jizhou?"
Young Master Shen said, "Ling'er left a letter and left Beijing. She must have come to Jizhou to find you."
Chu Yang said, "She didn't come to see me. Didn't you see her on the way here?"
If he had seen it, would he still have come to Jizhou? He would have taken his sister back long ago.
Although they were engaged, they didn't get married. Even if they did, why would her husband leave Beijing for work? If she followed him, wouldn't that just cause trouble?
Young Master Shen was in such a hurry to find his sister that he had forgotten that he was very fast and could not match Shen Ling's speed.
Young Master Shen wanted to go back and continue looking for his sister.
However, a landslide blocked the way. Taking a detour or waiting for the road to be cleared would take almost the same amount of time. There was no point in Young Master Shen being anxious, so he could only wait patiently in Jizhou.
In addition, Jizhou was in chaos and someone was making trouble behind the scenes. Fortunately, Xie Jingyu had prepared for all kinds of bad situations. He gave the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister to Chu Yang as a shield and mobilized the government troops to ensure that the Yun family's grain shop was not robbed.
Otherwise, even if Chen Wan asked the Yun family to transport a lot of food to Jizhou, many people would starve to death.
The officials in Jizhou even dared to burn the granary, which shows how chaotic the situation was.
Young Master Shen couldn't continue to look for his sister, so he stayed to help Chu Yang. Disaster relief was more important than investigating the granary flooding case, so disaster relief had to be given priority.
Only after the road was cleared did Young Master Shen continue to look for his troublesome sister.
But Young Master Shen was really exhausted from looking for his sister.
Shen Ling took the wrong road, but soon realized that she had continued on her way. As a lady from a wealthy family, even if she could ride a horse, she could not walk as fast as her elder brother. As they walked and stopped frequently, the brother and sister missed each other in the town.
When Chen Ling bought some buns and turned around, she saw her elder brother who was riding a horse. Before she could call out to him, his elder brother ran away like a gust of wind.
Knowing that her elder brother was out to chase her, Shen Ling didn't dare let him know. She packed the buns and hurried on her way.
When Chen Ling arrived in Jizhou, Chu Yang had already begun investigating the granary flooding case. The crucial witness was thrown into jail, and Jizhou officials blocked his way, so he couldn't even see the witness. He insisted on going to jail, but Young Master Du held him back, asking him to take care of the disaster relief matters and finish his task as soon as possible so that he could return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Chu Yang would not give up just because someone stopped him. Xie Jingyu recommended him to the emperor and trusted that he could get to the bottom of the case. He would never bring shame to Xie Jingyu.
Unable to enter the prison openly, Chu Yang could only break in at night.
But he alerted the enemy in broad daylight. Young Master Du knew that Chu Yang was not the type to give up easily, so he transferred the witness away. Not only did Chu Yang fail, he was also caught red-handed.
The Jizhou prefect locked him up in the prison for two weeks for trespassing.
The officials of Jizhou definitely wouldn't dare to kill Chu Yang, and no one would say anything if he was locked up for half a month.
The day after Chu Yang was imprisoned, Shen Ling arrived. Chu Yang's people recognized Shen Ling. Shen Ling learned that Chu Yang broke into Jizhou Prison at night and never came out after entering. She was very worried and went to find Chu Yang.
Chen Ling was quite smart. He went with a food box, stuffed ten taels of silver into the box, and said he was looking for a prisoner named Chu Yang. The jailer only knew that the prisoner was the son of Marquis Linjiang, but he didn't know that the son of Marquis Linjiang was called Chu Yang.
The last time they met was in Shen Ling's boudoir, and this time they met in the Jizhou prison cell.
Seeing Chu Yang, Shen Ling gave him the token. Chu Yang said, "Give me the token. Why did you come here in person?"
Shen Ling said, "This thing is important. I don't trust anyone with it."
If I give it to someone else, I’m afraid they won’t be able to deliver it.
Hand it over to Marquis Linjiang or her father, General Shen. Shen Ling was afraid that Marquis Linjiang would kill Chu Yang, which would also affect Chu Yang's image in his father's eyes. She was even more worried about the danger he would face in Jizhou, so she came to deliver it herself.
After Chen Ling left, Chu Yang asked someone to call the Jizhou prefect. When he showed the token, the Jizhou prefect knelt down to welcome Chu Yang.
With the token in hand, Chu Yang could move freely in Jizhou, interrogate cases and arrest people, and the Jizhou officials had no reason to stop him.
The officials in Jizhou were a little panicked when they vaguely realized that Chu Yang was investigating the granary water leakage case. They began to obstruct Chu Yang in every possible way, making things difficult for him and causing chaos in the disaster relief, leaving Chu Yang unable to cope with the situation.
As for Chen Ling, Chu Yang was worried about her staying in Jizhou and wanted to send someone to escort her back to Beijing. Chen Ling refused to go, and Chu Yang couldn't persuade her, so he asked Chen Ling to dress up as a servant and follow him.
But a handsome servant was already suspicious, especially since Chu Yang obeyed his every word.
Young Master Du saw that something was wrong, so he used Shen Ling to plot against Chu Yang. In order to save Shen Ling, Chu Yang and Shen Ling fell into the hunter's trap together.
It was dark at night, and the man and woman were alone in the trap, waiting for dawn, waiting for someone to come find them...
Chu Yang no longer remembered how the two of them kissed each other...
We kissed and then we couldn't hold back...
Just that one time I was distracted by love, and after that I focused on solving the case.
After much trouble, he obtained evidence of the emptied granary and the division of the spoils, and then set off back to Beijing.
Everything went smoothly along the way, but when they were about to reach Kyoto, Chen Ling suddenly felt nauseous. Today at the post station, he vomited everything he ate.
Later, when he couldn't find his sister, Young Master Shen returned to Jizhou to help investigate the case, and naturally returned to Beijing together.
Shen Ling was vomiting violently, and Young Master Shen was worried, so he found a clinic in the town. The doctor took her pulse and found out that she was two months pregnant.
Even though they were engaged, they hadn't gotten married yet. How could they do such a thing?!
Young Master Shen was so angry that he beat Chu Yang up in the clinic.
