Chapter 40 Are you sure you want to stand against that rubbish?

After the court session, Lin You took Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Justice and two imperial doctors and followed Prince Yu's carriage to Prince Yu's mansion.

[Oh, this mansion is well-decorated and very impressive, but in private, he is a stingy and wicked person! Tsk! 】

"Just now in the Golden Throne Hall, it was my recklessness that caused me to misunderstand the Royal Concubine. I heard that the Royal Concubine likes to eat roast chicken, so I have ordered people to prepare it. I have also prepared other dishes. Why don't you all have lunch together first."

As soon as he entered the mansion, Shen Yu had a sudden change. But when it comes to acting, Lin You is better than him. She curled her pink lips and smiled, "Thank you for your hospitality, Prince Yu. It's just that the emperor has ordered the kitchen to make roast chicken for me every day these days, and I'm a little tired of it."

【Haha, who the hell dares to eat your things? Who knows whether I will be poisoned by spring poison, drugs, chronic poison, or die directly in the next second. 】

Upon hearing this, Minister Jiang and the two imperial doctors who followed him broke out in cold sweats.

After all, Minister Li and Imperial Doctor Chen were quietly poisoned to death in the Ministry of Justice yesterday, and the murderer has not been found yet.

Some people were already in a panic, and hearing so much about poisons was naturally a bit creepy.

"Since the queen has no appetite, let's just do the job directly."

Minister Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled stiffly.

After staying with Lin You for a long time, Minister Jiang also knew a lot about Shen Yu. Since the moment he stepped into this mansion, his heart has never been at ease. He just wanted to finish the job as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. Not to mention food, he would not touch tea, even the grass, trees, chairs, etc. here.

Both of them refused. Shen Yu, no matter how ugly his face was, could only nod his head to show his understanding, and led a few people to the front hall.

Shen Yu was very gentlemanly and politely invited everyone to take a seat. Jiang Shangshu smiled dryly and declined, "I'll just stand. It's easier to judge the problem when I stand."

Shen Yu, "..."

The two doctors looked at each other, feeling something was wrong. How could this old thief Jiang Shangshu still stand and talk? Wasn't he afraid of his old waist pain?

But, since he could stand, the two of them could stand too.

After all, compared to an old waist, life is more important.

So, the two doctors found an excuse for themselves one after the other.

"I fell and hurt here this morning, so I won't sit down, otherwise it will hurt." The doctor said, and touched his buttocks, with an expression like he was constipated.

The other one hesitated, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty also has hemorrhoids, and it's not very convenient for me to sit."

Shen Yu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, and he coldly withdrew his gaze from the three people.

The imperial physician next to him secretly gave his companion a thumbs up.

It was cruel, really cruel. In order not to sit on that chair, he even brought up the hemorrhoids.

Lin You looked at the three people who were not quite right, and sat down without thinking much.

When Minister Jiang saw her sitting down, his eyes widened in shock, as if Lin You had sat on a knife.

He opened his mouth, wanting to stop her, but couldn't say anything.

"What's wrong, Minister Jiang?"

Lin You was really confused when he saw him like this.

Shen Yu's knife-like eyes also locked on him, and Minister Jiang quickly waved his hands, "Nothing, it's just that my face suddenly became a little stiff."

As he spoke, Minister Jiang rubbed his face.

The three of them stood on the steps in front of the hall waiting for the guards to come, leaving only Lin You and Shen Yu inside.

Shen Yu sat at the top, and Lin You sat near the top. The two were very close. Shen Yu leaned over, looked at Lin You, and lowered his voice, "Lin You, have you been crazy these days?"

Lin You raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and raised her red lips in a heart-wrenching smile, "I am just crazy, what can King Yu do to me?"

"You..."

"Shen Yu, I came here this time to get back my own things. Just like last night, if you are wise, you can take the initiative to return my dowry to me with interest. If you are not wise..."

After saying this, Lin You stopped and picked up a grape on the table with her soft jade fingers, peeled it open bit by bit, then took out the seeds inside, and broke off small pieces into her mouth.

"Whether it's a person or a fruit, what I like most is to peel it a little bit and then slowly swallow it into my stomach."

Shen Yu's eyes became more and more gloomy as Lin You spoke. Suddenly, he smiled, "Lin You, are you sure you want to stand against this dying waste?"

"Heh!" Lin You also sneered, staring at Shen Yu with a pair of charming eyes filled with ice, "Even if he is a waste, he is just a person who relies on women and some deceptive tricks to get to the top, right?" "You..." "

My

Lord, all the guards in the mansion have been summoned."

The housekeeper of the mansion came forward to report, and Shen Yu had to put away the look that wanted to eat Lin You.

"The people from the Ministry of Justice also brought the people who were present in the Li Mansion last night."

The housekeeper added.

Shen Yu was furious at the moment, and if the housekeeper said one more word, he would kill him with a knife. "Then let's start the interrogation."

Lin You clapped her hands and stood up, walked to the side of Minister Jiang, looked at the more than ten guards in the courtyard, and the two eyewitnesses from the Li Mansion.

In fact, no one saw them last night.

These two eyewitnesses, one is Prince Yu's man, and the other is the emperor's man.

One is responsible for accusing her, and the other is responsible for accusing Prince Yu.

Thinking of Shen Jingan, Lin You couldn't help but smile. She never thought that Shen Jingan actually asked Yan Zhi to go to the Li Mansion to buy a passerby last night.

Now that her suspicion has been cleared, she will only interrogate the people bought by the emperor.

Minister Jiang asked him to identify someone among all the guards. There were three rows of people in total. He looked in the first row, but there was no one. There was no one in the second row either. It was not until the third row that he stopped and pointed at a man with a slightly pale face.

"That's it. I recognize his eyes."

[Oh, he really pointed at the right person. It seems that Yan Zhi still remembers that this person was the one who was knocked unconscious by him in the wine shop.]

Minister Jiang asked him to confirm again and again before asking the two imperial doctors to check whether the guard really had hemorrhoids.

Inside the hall, Shen Yu's eyebrows were full of sinisterness, and his expression was cold. The housekeeper asked in a low voice with some concern, "Prince, do you want to..."

He made a gesture of killing someone to silence him.

Shen Yu opened his lips lightly, "No, he knows how to do it."

These guards were all his assassins. The crime of stealing was over, and they didn't succeed in the end. They were not qualified to take the guards away.

Not long after, the imperial doctors gave the answer. There were indeed hemorrhoids, and there were injuries on the back, which was consistent with the testimony of the servants of the Li Mansion.

Before Minister Jiang started the trial, the guard took the initiative to confess his guilt, saying that his parents were seriously ill and there was not enough money for their treatment, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. He also said righteously that a rebel like Li Changgong should not enjoy the salary of the court.

Lin You laughed at what he heard.

[You are both good at pretending, but no matter how good you are at pretending, there is no way my sack can hold it.]

"Since you are a filial son, and you didn't beat the other thief in the end, then let's make this matter a small matter. Give him fifty lashes and a fine of 10,000 taels of silver."

When Lin You said this, the guard almost fainted.

10,000 taels of silver, how could a small guard like him have it!
