Chapter 215: Confusing
Something happened in the Dali Temple today. Lu Yunzheng received an order from Lin Zhouzhi and personally led a team to patrol the streets near the Dali Temple.
Unexpectedly, after walking back and forth, he saw Cui Mingjue standing at the door.
He was just taking a casual glance, but he didn't expect that the woman with a veil hat opposite Cui Mingjue looked so familiar.
Thinking back to the secret words heard in the plum blossom forest in the Imperial Garden that day, wasn't Cui Mingjue in love with Shen Jiasui?
Shen Jiasui......
As soon as these three words came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng's breathing became rapid.
After the Imperial Garden, he never saw Shen Jiasui again, but every step he took was within Shen Jiasui's calculations.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng said something to the patrol captain behind him, then immediately dismounted and walked towards Shen Jiasui with heavy and hurried steps.
Shen Jiasui was tense for only a moment before he calmed down.
She stared at Lu Yunzheng with cold eyes as he approached her. She even began to wonder what Lu Yunzheng had the nerve to say.
But before Lu Yunzheng could come up to her, a figure appeared in front of her.
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng had a bad look on his face and was coming at him aggressively, Cui Mingjue stood in front of Shen Jiasui without thinking.
"Mr. Lu."
Cui Mingjue bowed slightly.
Lu Yunzheng saw Cui Mingjue's intention to protect him, so he paused and said calmly, "Mr. Cui, Shen Jiasui and I have something to talk about. Why are you... standing in the way?"
These words were neither too harsh nor too light, and contained a deep meaning, which made Cui Mingjue's expression change slightly.
He put down his hand and said calmly, "Mr. Lu, I think the person who came here has bad intentions. After all, Mr. Jiang and I are colleagues, so I dare not stand by and watch."
Lu Yunzheng raised his lips slightly when he heard this, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Is this Mr. Cui just an excellent actor or does he know nothing?
You are helping someone protect his wife, but do you know that Prince Rui wants the lives of his entire family?
Shen Jiasui did not speak immediately because he was surprised by Lu Yunzheng's performance.
Look, it turns out that people need to be severely hit before they can make progress. This sentence applies to both her and Lu Yunzheng.
"Mr. Cui, thank you for your help. Lu Yunzheng and I are old acquaintances."
Having said this, Shen Jiasui walked around Cui Mingjue and came forward.
Cui Mingjue frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows.
He stood up subconsciously, but forgot that Miss Shen was very skilled in martial arts. She was so agile and flamboyant in the chess match last year, and was not inferior to Lu Yunzheng in any way.
"In that case, I——"
"Years old."
Cui Mingjue's words were interrupted again.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time, only to see Jiang Xun walking quickly out of the Dali Temple and heading towards them.
He glanced at Lu Yunzheng and Cui Mingjue with a cold look.
"Ah Xun!"
Shen Jiasui exclaimed softly, and warmth instantly appeared between his brows. He walked forward with brisk steps.
Jiang Xun was so excited that he couldn't hide it at all.
Jiang Xun withdrew his gaze from the two of them, and when he looked at Shen Jiasui, his face was already full of smiles.
“Passing by?”
Shen Jiasui lifted the veil in front of him, smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I thought about stopping and taking a look."
At this time, Cui Mingjue came forward from behind.
Jiang Xun patted the back of Shen Jiasui's hand, took a few steps forward to block her behind him, and said politely to Cui Mingjue:
"Master Cui, we have been waiting for you in the Ministry of Justice for a long time. Please come in."
Cui Mingjue glanced sideways and saw that Shen Jiasui had been completely covered by Jiang Xun, with only a corner of his veil showing.
He saw Miss Shen's joy and happiness just now.
"Thank you very much."
He said lightly, without lingering any longer, and walked straight inside.
At this time, Jiang Xun slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yunzheng, his face showing an almost cold and calm expression.
"Mr. Lu, the storm is coming. You should focus on the present. It seems that General Lu will be returning to the capital soon?"
Lu Yunzheng's expression changed when he heard this.
Jiang Xun's words were still so concise and to the point, and he hit Lu Yunzheng's sore spot right away.
Something went wrong in front of the Dali Temple today. Lu Yunzheng also suspected that there might be some movement there. After hearing what Jiang Xun said, it seemed that it was almost certain.
Thinking of this, he glanced deeply at the raised brim of Jiang Xun's hat behind him, moved his lips, but said nothing in the end, and turned and left.
Only after Lu Yunzheng's back disappeared did Shen Jiasui's voice sound calmly:
"He still wants to make a big thing small, a small thing nothing, and then with a few righteous words, he will make peace with me."
"Thank you, Axun. I really have nothing to say to him."
Under her feet, she had stepped on, kneeled on, and counted every brick and stone in front of the Dali Temple. Lu Yunzheng would not understand, and he did not need to understand.
"Come, get in the carriage."
Jiang Xun naturally understood Shen Jiasui's thoughts, which was why he drove Lu Yunzheng away. It was not because Shen Jiasui could not handle it, but because she was too lazy to deal with Lu Yunzheng.
At this time, Shen Jiasui couldn't wait to ask: "Axun, how is it?"
The question was about the old woman's cry for injustice.
Jiang Xun's expression rarely became serious. "Sui Sui, this matter is not that simple. I was just trying to scare Lu Yunzheng just now. It's still too early to make a conclusion."
Shen Jiasui's heart tightened when he heard this, but Jiang Xun had relaxed his expression and shook his head.
"Don't worry Sui Sui, I have sent Bei Feng to Qingping City with the people from the Dali Temple to verify the situation. I will also bring back the case files and documents for this case to take a look."
Shen Jiasui stopped asking questions and urged, "Then go in quickly. I will go back to the Bo's Mansion later. You don't have to make another trip."
She got straight into the carriage, waved to Jiang Xun, and when she lowered the curtain, her face looked a little solemn.
On the way here just now, she had thought about this matter and there were indeed many doubts.
There is a very cruel fact that -
If there was no other conspiracy behind this case, and it was really just the local bullies causing trouble, then the old woman and her little grandson... might not have the chance to go to the capital to seek justice.
They couldn't even...get out of Huihe Township.
———
The other side.
Cui Daoyuan had just left the palace after court session when he heard about this.
He frowned, and after a moment's silence, he whispered, "Send someone to ask the prince."
Although he said this, Cui Daoyuan did not think that this was Zhao Huailang's work.
Today is just the second day of Jiang Xun's marriage. It would be too hasty and too deliberate to start trouble now.
Moreover, they had already discussed a detailed plan, and Lang'er was a patient person and would not act on his own.
Thinking of this, Cui Daoyuan straightened his robe and thought to himself, "Could it be that someone is so lucky that he has come to the capital to seek justice?"
