Chapter 141 Shen Zerui's White Moonlight

What? Shen Zerui simply couldn't believe his ears.

"This is the capital of the emperor. How could someone just set fire or kill people?"

Bai Zhi actually knew Shen Zerui quite well. He came from a prominent family and was devoted to studying, so his mind was not that complicated at all.

It would undoubtedly be cruel to let him know the truth.

But did Bai Zhi’s parents deserve to be burned to death?

"Brother Rui, I don't believe that this would happen in Beijing, so I want to investigate. If it is true that my parents were injured or killed in an accidental fire at home, I have no regrets."

"If he was really murdered, even if the murderer is the prince, I will investigate it to the end."

Shen Zerui thought about it carefully and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll help you. There must be a file on the fire case that year. I'll help you check it."

"Xiangxiang, where do you live now? You are all alone now, why don't you ..."

Bai Zhi knew that she could not follow Shen Zerui into the Shen Mansion. Shen Zerui's wife Yan Xiaoxiao had a proud personality and died accidentally in the Shen family. Everyone knew how she died.

But she sold herself to bury her father, so she had to have a place to go.

Jiang Jiu had already thought of it for her.

"I'm staying in a village outside Beijing for now. After my adoptive father is buried, I plan to go to my aunt's house."

Baizhi spoke hesitantly and her eyes looked wandering and uncertain.

"But my aunt's family isn't rich...she..."

Bai Zhi couldn't continue.

Shen Zerui felt sorry for her and suddenly said, "How about this? I'll help you rent a house in Beijing. This way, at least you'll have a place to stay..."

But just when Baizhi was about to agree.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard from far away. Upon closer inspection, a woman in a red riding suit, leading a group of people and horses, was galloping towards them.

When the red-haired woman came in front of Shen Zerui and Bai Zhi, she snorted coldly and jumped off the horse swiftly.

"Shen Zerui, you deserve to die..."

As he said that, he swung the long whip directly towards Bai Zhi, intending to separate the two people hugging each other.

Shen Zerui was shocked and frightened. He immediately hugged Bai Zhi in his arms and took the whip on his back.

As expected of the daughter of the commander of the Imperial Guard, she was torn to pieces by one whip.

Shen Zerui clenched his teeth in pain, said nothing, turned his head angrily, and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao with a frown.

"What are you doing?"

When Yan Xiaoxiao heard that Shen Zerui bought a young lady in the teahouse, she was furious and came over with people.

Now seeing Shen Ze Rui hugging this woman again, he was completely consumed by jealousy and completely lost all rationality.

His unruly temper came up and he whipped him without saying a word.

Who knew that this whip would make her even angrier. Shen Zerui didn't even think twice and directly held the woman in his arms.

She wanted to whip him again, but was stopped by the maid beside her.

"lady……"

Yan Xiaoxiao pointed at Shen Zerui angrily: "If you dare to bring any woman home, believe it or not, I will kill her right now..."

Shen Zerui was already grimacing in pain. He only knew that Yan Xiaoxiao was rude and unreasonable, but he never expected that she was murderous by nature.

"On what basis? Yan Xiaoxiao, murder is against the law..."

Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Bai Zhi suddenly widened her eyes in fear, grabbed Shen Zerui's sleeve, and trembled all over.

"It was her, it was her. She was the one who had my house burned down. She was the one who burned my family to death. I'm going to fight her..."

How could the weak Bai Zhi deal with the fierce Yan Xiaoxiao?

He was grabbed by Shen Zerui: "Don't go..."

In the wilderness, Yan Xiaoxiao would really kill Bai Zhi.

Yan Xiaoxiao also heard what Bai Zhi said, and narrowed her eyes slightly. She understood.

The woman in front of him was the woman Shen Zerui was determined to marry three years ago.

I just didn't expect that she was so lucky and is still alive and well.

Even if Shen Zerui was here, Yan Xiaoxiao would not let her go.

He quietly signaled to his men, who formed a circle and surrounded Shen Zerui and Bai Zhi.

The maid beside Yan Xiaoxiao was startled and held her hand tightly.

"Madam, you can't..."

She knew exactly what Yan Xiaoxiao was going to do...

But Yan Xiaoxiao was used to being domineering, how could a maid control her?

Everyone drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack.

Shen Zerui was also shocked to find that Yan Xiaoxiao really wanted to kill Bai Zhi at this moment.

"Yan Xiaoxiao..."

But just when Yan Xiaoxiao was about to give the order, suddenly, a clear and sarcastic voice came over.

"Hey, who is this? In broad daylight, someone actually dared to kill someone. Let me see who this person is."

Zhao Zhuoxi rode his horse and came over with a thump.

His men quickly surrounded Yan Xiaoxiao's men.

"Sixth brother, you are useless as the Dali Temple Minister. Someone killed someone in the street, but you didn't do anything. Or do you think that the emperor's injustice is too serious..."

Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head in shock, and saw the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran and the Ninth Prince Zhao Zhuoxi riding towards them.

Looking at the situation in front of her, she was not afraid at all.

"Your Highness, this is our family affair. You two princes are being too lenient."

His attitude was so arrogant that he didn't even take the two princes into consideration.

Zhao Zhuoran glanced at her quietly, and suddenly asked Bai Zhi, "Are you the one who filed the complaint two days ago?"

Bai Zhi knelt down and said, "That's right. I want to sue her... She sent people to burn my family to death. I want her to kill someone to pay for their crimes..."

Zhao Zhuoran really didn't want to have anything to do with the Yan family. After all, they were the most trusted people around the emperor. However, as a prince and the Minister of Dali Temple, if he couldn't even uphold this little justice, wouldn't he be a laughing stock for the whole world?

"Come here, arrest her and bring her back to the Supreme Court."

Zhao Zhuoxi raised the corners of his lips as he watched the Sixth Prince's men act. Yan Xiaoxiao resisted at first, but no matter how good her kung fu was, she was still a woman after all.

He was subdued in a few moves by Zhao Zhuoran's men and was tied up and taken away.

Zhao Zhuoxi did not forget to remind him: "Sixth brother, you must handle this case carefully. The people of the capital are watching. The identification evidence is all there. Don't let anyone buy it."

If Zhao Zhuoran still didn't understand what Zhao Zhuoxi meant at this time, he would have lived in vain.

What Angelica dahurica, what Yan family, what favoritism and fraud.

Maybe he had obtained the evidence a long time ago, but he had no roots in the capital before.

Now, by arresting Yan Xiaoxiao, two ministers have been offended at once, the commander of the imperial guards and the prefect of the capital, as well as Prime Minister Zhou who has a relationship with the prefect of the capital.

Moreover, this matter became known to everyone because Bai Zhi sold herself in the street to bury her father.

Even if he wanted to do it secretly, he couldn't.

At the Zhou family, Shen learned the news and hurried to Jiang Jiu's room.

"Xiao Jiu, where is your friend?"

Jiang Jiu blinked: "It's in the room..."

Just as he finished speaking, Bai Zhi came in from outside holding a plate of snacks.

"Girl, you said you haven't tasted Suzhou snacks for a long time, so I made some for you. Come and try them. Is it the same flavor?"

Jiang Jiu took the snack and pushed it in front of Shen.

At this moment, the butler came in from outside and reported.

"Madam, the Dali Temple's people are here, looking for Miss Bai..."
