Chapter 660: Rebellion Plan
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu frowned and said, "I feel like Xianxian is reminding me today that Yang Zhen was wronged."
Xianxian repeatedly mentioned that Yang Zhen might have been wronged.
Ji Yunshu was wondering what her intention was at that time.
Zhao Shen said, "Based on what we've found, Yang Zhen may indeed have been wrongly accused, but the evidence is genuine. So it's very likely that someone close to Yang Zhen was collaborating with the enemy, and Yang Zhen discovered this and framed him."
This is the most reasonable explanation.
"What about Lord Qi? It's been so long, and you haven't found anything?"
Ji Yunshu felt that Qi Zheng was too passive and lazy.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "If it weren't for him, no one else would have been able to hold Yu Shiyi back. You should thank him for your gains today."
Ji Yunshu asked, "What about Yu Shiyi? What's going on? Is he the one handling all the shameful things happening in the Yu family?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "Nine out of ten, the Yu family is large, and not all of them are smart. Yu Eleven is the most outstanding among them, and he is also the youngest, so he is not conspicuous."
"A famous talent in Jiangnan, isn't that conspicuous enough?"
The fact that he was able to pass the imperial examination at such a young age is very telling. A family like the Yu family is unlikely to produce a nerd.
Zhao Shen said, "So he's very clever. He often frequents red-light districts and has established himself as a talented and romantic man."
He learned the term "personality" from Ji Yunshu, and it feels quite appropriate.
If Yu Shiyi was a scholar with a single-minded ambition, he would naturally attract attention.
But he was a romantic and unrestrained person, and he wanted to live on a flower boat, which was a good cover-up for himself.
When people mention Yu Shiyi now, the first thing that comes to mind is not that he was a young talent, but his romantic affairs.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "We encountered such a character right from the start. No wonder we haven't made any progress after all this time."
In a blink of an eye, they had been in Hangzhou for more than a month, but were still going around in circles.
There was evidence to convict Yang Zhen, but it was obviously delivered to him by someone else.
Seeing that Zhao Shen was still calm and composed, and even had the leisure to ask about the dim sum shop yesterday, and even looked through the account books of these days, she was a little curious about what he was thinking.
Zhao Shen said, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The Yu family has been entrenched in Jiangnan for so many years, how can they be easily shaken? The same goes for you, don't be impatient, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to reveal your true intentions."
Ji Yunshu admired him very much: "I don't want to rush things, but I can't really convict Yang Zhen, right?"
Now the evidence is conclusive, and if they have no way to overturn it, they can only convict Yang Zhen.
Having secret dealings with Japanese pirates is a capital crime.
"Why can't he be convicted? Even if he is convicted, the Ministry of Justice needs to verify it. As long as he isn't executed immediately, there are always ways to save him. Moreover, the Yu family has taken watertight precautions in this matter. Only by convicting Yang Zhen can they truly rest assured."
Ji Yunshu understood that the Yu family had prepared sufficient evidence, which was almost impossible for them to overturn.
Therefore, they should first follow the other party's wishes, and wait until the other party thinks everything is going well and relaxes their vigilance, then it is their chance.
She leaned in front of Zhao Shen and kissed his cheek: "It's you who are really shrewd and calculating."
After saying this, seeing Zhao Shen's face darken, he quickly made amends: "I was wrong. I should have praised you for your resourcefulness."
Zhao Shen patted her head helplessly. "This matter is destined to have no results in the short term. When we left, the emperor said that as long as we ensure that the Yu family and Prince Yong do not make any unusual moves, we don't need to return to the capital for the time being."
Why did the emperor agree to let Zhao Shen bring Ji Yunshu with him?
In addition to believing that Ji Yunshu could help, he also felt that it was not good to separate the couple for years.
Ji Yunshu was too tired to complain. Zhao Shen was ready for a protracted war, so she naturally had no objection.
She was still very happy during this period.
Compared to the boredom in the capital, she was able to witness the peak level of the entertainment industry of that era by wearing men's clothes and hanging out on the flower boats.
Although he had never been to a brothel in the capital, Ji Yunshu felt that this place was more prosperous than the capital.
The capital is the capital of the emperor, and there are many powerful and wealthy people there, but everyone also has many concerns.
The imperial court has issued an order, and no one dares to go to those places openly.
Naturally, this restricts the development of those places.
But Hangzhou is different. The emperor is far away. If the Yu family takes the lead, and there are many rich people here, it is normal for them to spend lavishly.
So Ji Yunshu said cheerfully, "Whatever. I'll continue to keep an eye on the flower boat. There must be some very important secrets there. It would be even better if I could persuade Miss Qingyu to rebel."
Even if she can't, with her holding Yu Shiyi back, it will be more convenient for Zhao Shen and the others.
Zhao Shen asked curiously, "If you want to incite rebellion, why not incite Xianxian, who is more talkative?"
Although Zhao Shen never went to that kind of place again, Ji Yunshu would tell him about what he saw and heard every day when he came back.
So he knew that Xianxian's attitude was more friendly than Qingyu who ignored her.
Ji Yunshu: "When I look at her face, I feel sick."
Of course, it is possible that Xianxian knows nothing and just happens to have a face that looks a bit like hers.
But Ji Yunshu couldn't remain calm in front of a face like that.
The most likely possibility is that the appearance of this face is not a coincidence.
She couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen: "You want to incite her to rebellion?"
Zhao Shen knew her character very well. If Qingyu really surrendered, as long as the other party had not done anything against the law, she would definitely do what she promised him.
Just like Liu Yan back then, if she hadn't been so stubborn, she might have changed her identity and lived an ordinary life.
Ji Yunshu has always been soft-hearted towards women in adversity.
But Ji Yunshu didn't expect that Zhao Shen actually preferred Xianxian.
Zhao Shen met her dissatisfied eyes and said with a smile, "What are you imagining? I just think that Xianxian might know more than Qingyu. She might even be the Prince of Yong's person. Besides, you also said that the brothel owner praised others when she first became the most popular courtesan. She might be on guard against her. This is a good opportunity for us."
Ji Yunshu admitted that what he said made sense.
Xianxian also repeatedly reminded her that Yang Zhen might have been wronged.
But she was blinded by that face.
Zhao Shen hugged her and said, "You know, I like you not because of your face, so it doesn't matter to me what other people look like."
Ji Yunshu was of course aware of this, but she knew even more clearly that Zhao Shen was not a soft-hearted person.
If he found out that it was not a coincidence that Xianxian looked like that and appeared here, he would definitely not let Xianxian go.
She couldn't explain her mood for a moment.
I had no choice but to say, "Let me wait and see. Xianxian might have done something to alert those people, so if I contact her, I'm afraid I'll be exposed."
Zhao Shen nodded: "Don't take any risks. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so having fun is the most important thing. I'll take care of the rest."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She felt that Zhao Shen might be the first person to encourage his wife to have fun on the flower boat.
