Chapter 154 Personal Investigation

There was silence in the private room for a while. Yu Yuan stared at Jiang Shu and said, "He's gone crazy, why don't you try to persuade him?"

Jiang Shu's almond eyes flickered when he heard that. He turned his head and looked at Yu Zheng and said, "Think of other ways. There's no rush."

​​A good man like Yu Zheng shouldn't ruin his reputation no matter where his heart is.

"But I want to marry you home as soon as possible to save others from worrying about you." Yu Zheng was a little upset.

"Reputation is something illusory. I don't care."

Finally, Yu Zheng looked at Yu Yuan and said, "His reputation is not good either, but it doesn't affect his happiness."

Yu Yuan: "..." What did he do to him?

Jiang Shu shook his head: "He is a lazy prince, but you are different. People like you should not be notorious."

Yu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore: "What do you two mean? Join forces to attack me?"

Who did he offend?

"Actually, I have an idea." Jiang Ning, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

The three of them looked at him in unison, questioning with their eyes.

Jiang Ning cleared his cough and said: "If the prince is merciful and kind, and is devoted to Buddhism, and shows signs of converting to Buddhism, what will the emperor and the concubine do?"

"They will be so anxious that they can't eat or sleep at night." Yu Yuan said.

Jiang Ning said, "Then my sister is the only one who can get close to the prince. What will the emperor and the concubine do?"

"They will regard your sister as a life-saving straw and marry her sincerely!"

Yu Yuan looked at Jiang Ning with shining eyes, and clicked his tongue: "Great, this idea is much better than finding a prostitute to spread rumors."

In this way, Yu Zheng's reputation will not be damaged, but will be more respected for his kindness and compassion.

As the savior of Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu will only be grateful to the emperor, the concubine, and even the officials and people. There will be no embarrassment or criticism.

"You kid, you have a smart mind." Yu Yuan patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and praised him with a smile, and breathed a sigh of relief.

His leg was saved, which was great.

Yu Zheng looked at Jiang Ning with his dark eyes full of praise: "I didn't know you were so smart, I owe you this."

Jiang Ning's ears were slightly reddened by the compliment, and he pretended to be calm and said: "I am doing this for my sister, just treat her well."

Besides, Yu Zheng had done so much for the Jiang family before, this time he would just repay the favor.

The business was discussed and the food was served. The four of them filled their glasses with wine and celebrated in advance.

After the meal, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu left Cuiyun Tower and went to the government office to inquire about Jiang Shu's danger.

Before leaving, Yu Zheng reminded Yu Yuan: "Be careful, otherwise I will break your legs."

It took a lot of effort to come up with a win-win solution. If Yu Yuan let it slip, Yu Zheng would really not forgive him.

Yu Yuan, who waved goodbye to them, suddenly felt pain in his legs after hearing this, and he stood up by holding the door frame.

"Don't worry, brother Zheng, I have already kept it all in my stomach, and I will never leak a single bit." Yu Yuan touched his leg to assure.

Yu Zheng glanced at his legs, turned around and got on the carriage, and went to the government office.

The sun was scorching, and Lord He had just finished his lunch and was lying comfortably in the shade of the corridor to take a nap.

"Sir, Prince Jing is here." The yamen runner hurriedly reported.

"Who... who is here?" Lord He suddenly opened his eyes and almost fell off the recliner.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is in the front hall now." The yamen runner repeated.

Oh my God, His Royal Highness Prince Jing must be here to call for punishment, it's all over.

Lord He stood up with a cold sweat, picked up the official hat on the stools, and put it on his head while walking.

Yu Zheng sat at the head of the front hall, and Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning sat beside him.

"Your humble servant has seen the prince." As soon as Lord He entered the room, he knew what they were talking about by looking at the scene.

Yu Zheng did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Have you found out?"

Lord He trembled and said: "Reply... Reply to your prince, the clue is broken."

"If the clue is broken, then look for another clue. It's just a small case, can't you handle it?" Yu Zheng's voice sank. "

Your humble servant is incompetent, please calm down, your prince." Lord He knelt on the ground in fear.

Looking at Mr. He who was kneeling in the hall with dark eyes, Yu Zheng asked coldly: "What is the situation? Tell the truth."

Mr. He said hurriedly: "The official went to investigate based on the clues provided by Miss Jiang and found Jiang Yun's maid. Just when he was about to capture the maid back for interrogation, the maid slipped and fell into the river and drowned."

"Jiang Yun did not personally handle this matter. No physical evidence can prove her, and the only witness is dead. The official is really helpless."

"When did the maid die? Was she buried?" Yu Zheng asked.

Mr. He said: "On May 28th, because there were no clues and the weather was too hot and the body could not be kept for a long time, the body was taken away and buried by his family."

It was already very hot in June and the body could not be kept.

Yu Zheng frowned and asked, "Where did she die?"

"Jiyu River in the north of the city." Mr. He replied.

Yu Zheng thought for a moment and pursed his lips and said, "Bring her family here, I'll come over later."

Today is the seventh day after her death, so it's a good time.

"Yes." Lord He didn't dare to disobey.

After leaving the government office, Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng, "Do you want to investigate the case yourself?"

Yu Zheng nodded, "If she dares to harm you, I will never let her go."

Jiang Shu asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Zheng looked at the scorching sun above his head and said slowly, "The heat is scorching now. You go back and rest first. I'll pick you up at Jiang's house in the evening."

Since he wanted to let people know that Jiang Shu was the only person who could get close to him, he didn't need to avoid suspicion and could just go back and forth directly.

"I want to go too." Jiang Ning came over. He had never seen a case solved before.

Yu Zheng glanced at him and agreed.

After they separated, Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning returned to Jiang's residence, and Yu Zheng returned to the palace to start preparations.

In the evening, Jiang Yun was playing with the dog in the yard, and Lin Rui came over with a letter in his hand: "Someone sent a letter, saying it was for you."

"Who gave it to me?" Jiang Yun took it and opened it suspiciously.

Do you think that Chunyue is dead and no one knows about the evil things you did? See you at 11:30 tonight at Jiyu River Arch Bridge.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Yun's face suddenly changed. She grabbed Lin Rui and asked in panic: "Who sent this letter? Where is the person?"

Lin Rui was confused: "I don't know him. He's gone."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Rui said, looking at the letter in Jiang Yun's hand curiously.

Jiang Yun quickly crumpled the letter into a ball and said evasively: "Nothing."

After saying that, Jiang Yun hurried into the house, found a fire starter and burned the letter.

Lin Rui looked at it from the window and felt that Jiang Yun must be hiding something from him.

At night, Lin Rui took a bath and went to bed. He wanted to be intimate with Jiang Yun, but was pushed away by Jiang Yun in disgust.

"It's hot and you sweat all over when you move. Can't you think of something else? You are useless."

Jiang Yun said, and turned over with her back to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was rejected and humiliated, and his face was burning with humiliation and embarrassment.

Jiang Yun closed her eyes, but did not dare to sleep, and kept listening to Lin Rui's movements.

When she heard the steady and even breathing sound in her ears, Jiang Yun turned over and called her twice.

Lin Rui did not respond and slept soundly.

Jiang Yun got up, put on her coat and shoes, and quietly went out.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Rui, who should have been asleep, immediately opened his eyes, quickly got out of bed, put on his coat and shoes, and secretly followed Jiang Yun.

The secret letter that could not be seen by others, she sneaked out in the middle of the night, he wanted to see which wild man she was going to meet!
