Chapter 113 Re-examination Money makes the world

go round.

Driven by silver, in less than an hour, all the villagers left the village. The guards went to check, and no one was left behind. "Master, they've all left." Zhuiyun reported to Yu Zheng. Yu Zheng nodded: "Leave a team of yamen runners to guard the high ground to prevent anyone from sneaking back." "Yes." Zhuiyun gave the order, and after it was done, he went with Yu Zheng to inspect the riverbank. When they finished everything and returned to the city, it was already afternoon. At this time, the rain stopped temporarily, and pedestrians were walking on the streets that had been silent all day. Yu Zheng rode his horse across the long street, and went to the prefectural governor's mansion with a tired and solemn face. After a tiring night and day, he was exhausted and just wanted to go back to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. Seeing that the rain had stopped, Jiang Shu, who had been bored in the inn for a day, thought that Yu Zheng had rested enough, so she wanted to ask about the specific circumstances of Zhao Renxian's arrest. After all, they were half involved in this matter, and if they didn't understand the other half, they would always be worried about it. The master and servant took a carriage to the prefectural governor's mansion. After getting off the carriage, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the prefectural governor's mansion, which was very lively. "This belly is so big, I'm afraid it must be eight or nine months pregnant." "How can Prince Jing be so cold-blooded and heartless? This woman has been kneeling for half an hour with her pregnant body, but he still refuses to see her." "What are you arguing about!" The guard on duty shouted at the onlookers, and finally frowned and looked at the pregnant woman kneeling on the ground impatiently: "I told you that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is not here, so you can go back." "Official, please, let me see His Royal Highness Prince Jing, my husband is really wronged." The woman cried and begged. Jiang Shu and Tan Yu squeezed into the crowd, and when they saw the woman kneeling on the ground, they were shocked: "Madam Wang." The pregnant woman kneeling on the ground was not someone else, but Madam Wang who she met in Lingyin Temple that day. "Young Master Jiang." Madam Wang also recognized Jiang Shu, her beautiful face was full of tears, and her expression was sad and sorrowful. "Why are you here? If you have anything to say, get up first. There is still rain on the ground. Be careful not to get cold and hurt yourself." Jiang Shu asked Mrs. Wang's maid to help her up. Mrs. Wang got up with difficulty, supported her waist and choked up, saying, "My husband offended the son of the prefect a few days ago, and was arrested and sentenced to be executed in the autumn." "This morning I heard that the prefect has been investigated and punished by King Jing for corruption and bribery, so I came to ask King Jing to release my husband." Originally, Mrs. Wang thought that her husband would die without a doubt, and she was ready to collect his body and become a widow. But she didn't expect to learn today that Zhao Renxian's crimes were exposed and imprisoned, and she saw hope again. But no matter how she knelt and begged, the guards refused to let her see King Jing. The little hope that rose in her heart turned into despair. After listening to Mrs. Wang's account, Jiang Shu asked her: "What crime was your husband convicted of?" "Murder." Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this: "Are you sure your husband was wrongly accused?" Murder is not like other crimes. Someone must have died to be convicted of this crime. Mrs. Wang nodded vigorously and said firmly: "My husband is very timid. He is afraid of blood and dare not watch a chicken being killed. He definitely does not have the courage to kill someone." If this person was not killed by Prince Wang, who would have killed him? The answer is self-evident. To be precise, Mrs. Wang also helped Jiang Shu. Seeing that she was pregnant and kind-hearted, Jiang Shu decided to help her as well. Of course, Jiang Shu just wanted Yu Zheng to investigate the matter. If Madam Wang's husband was really wronged, he should be cleared of all charges. If the charges were true, Jiang Shu would not plead for personal gain. "Don't worry, I know Prince Jing, I'll take you to see him." Jiang Shu soothed her gently. Madam Wang's dead eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said hopefully, "Really? Thank you, Master Jiang." Jiang Shu walked up to the guard and asked him to tell Prince Jing that an old friend wanted to see him. The guard looked Jiang Shu up and down, and said unmoved, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is not in the mansion, so even if His Majesty comes, he won't be able to see him." "Okay, then we'll wait here, His Royal Highness Prince Jing will always come back." Jiang Shu waited quietly in front of the door without getting discouraged or arguing. The crowd of onlookers did not disperse either, as they wanted to see how King Jing would deal with the matter, and also wanted to see King Jing's true face. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves rang out on the street, coming from far away and getting closer. Jiang Shu looked in the direction of the sound, and when he saw the leader, he was overjoyed and greeted him: "Your Majesty." Yu Zheng was slightly startled, and he pulled his horse back and dismounted swiftly. "How long have you been here?" Yu Zheng's voice was hoarse, and his face was tired. Jiang Shu whispered: "Not long ago, where have you been?" Yu Zheng's clothes and trousers were still wet, so he must have gone out in the rain before. Some things are not convenient to say in front of others, so Yu Zheng simply said: "I went out of the city, what happened?" Many people gathered in front of the mansion, including a pregnant woman with a sad face, so something must have happened. Seeing that Jiang Shu really knew Yu Zheng, Madam Wang felt relieved. She knelt down in front of Yu Zheng and recounted the facts. Yu Zheng frowned and ordered Zhuiyun, "Let Zhufeng bring the two criminals to the court and find the case files and witnesses." "Yes." Zhuiyun took the order and left. Yu Zheng said to Jiang Shu again, "You take Madam Wang to the court and sit down. I will change my clothes and come." Jiang Shu nodded and asked the maid to help Madam Wang go to the court. The government office of Lin'an Prefecture is located in the north of the prefectural governor's mansion. It only takes half a cup of tea to walk there. Hearing that the case was to be re-examined, the onlookers swarmed to the government office like a swarm of bees and stood outside the government office waiting. Jiang Shu accompanied Madam Wang to wait for half a minute, and Yu Zheng came. After waiting for a while, Zhufeng came with Master Wang and Master Zhao. "Kneel down." The yamen runners pushed the two men to the ground. "Husband." Madam Wang rushed over excitedly, hugged the disheveled Prince Wang, and wiped the dirt off his face with a handkerchief. "Madam." Prince Wang raised his head, his handsome face full of fear and panic. Jiang Shu and Tan Yu saw Prince Wang's face and stood there in shock.

Isn't this Mr. Wang the Mr. Wang from Wang Jia's Yi Manor who cooperated with them!

How could such a coincidence happen!

When Jiang Shu first cooperated with the Wang family, she felt that Mr. Wang was unreliable, but she never thought that he would be so outrageous.

Before they left Lin'an Mansion, he had already tortured himself into a prisoner.

If Yu Zheng hadn't investigated Zhao Renxian, Mr. Wang would have died without a doubt.

Sighing and shaking his head, Jiang Shu felt sorry for Madam Wang.

How could she, such a good person, marry Mr. Wang, a playboy?

Yu Zheng didn't know the origin of Jiang Shu and Mr. Wang, and lowered his head to look through the case files carefully.

Zhu Feng slapped the hall wood and asked Madam Wang to sit back and the case would begin.

Prince Wang recounted the incident in detail.

On the night of the incident, Prince Wang went to Zuihonglou to drink and had a fight with Prince Zhao over a girl.

They were at the balcony on the third floor at the time. During the fight, Prince Zhao kicked Prince Wang, and Prince Wang accidentally knocked the girl off the building when he stepped back, killing her on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Prince Zhao immediately asked his servants to arrest Prince Wang. The next day, Zhao Renxian opened a trial and sentenced Prince Wang to death for murder.

After listening to Prince Wang's confession, Jiang Shu fell silent.

Somewhat innocent, but not completely innocent.
