Chapter 141 My Wife is Really Strong
The sound of horse hooves came one after another.
Jiang Lianzhi took the lead. When he received the news and rushed over, he saw Xie Tingzhou and his men were about to leave.
As soon as he saw Xie Tingzhou, he felt that this matter was related to him. After all, Dou Qing had a grudge against him because of Chen Yu.
Xie Tingzhou paused, turned around and asked, "Master Jiang, is there anything?"
Jiang Lianzhi glanced at the man in the cloak and looked at Xie Tingzhou, "What a coincidence, wherever the prince is, something happens."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "I also think it's a coincidence that I can run into Lord Jiang every time. Lord Jiang rushed here so hastily to collect the body of your cousin. The emotion is really touching."
Jiang Lianzhi remained unmoved, staring at the person next to him, "Why is the person next to you wearing a cloak? Is it because he is not worthy of being seen?"
Xie Tingzhou gently pushed Chen Yu behind him, "It's not that she can't see people, but not everyone is worthy of seeing her."
The two were on the verge of a fight, and Liu Fu couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he quickly stepped out to mediate.
"You two can talk it out. We are all colleagues and we will see each other sooner or later."
Jiang Lianzhi was too lazy to listen to him. The more Xie Tingzhou didn't let him see, the more he thought there was something wrong. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone come here!"
The guards took two steps forward, and Xie Tingzhou's guards had already drawn their swords in unison.
"Oh my god." Liu Fu was terrified. "No, no, we are here to investigate the case, not to make enemies."
Neither side would give in, and seeing that the stalemate was not going to work, Chen Yu pulled Xie Tingzhou's sleeve.
"Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou turned back to comfort him, "It's okay, go wait for me in the carriage."
Jiang Lianzhi froze at the word "Your Highness". If he heard correctly, the woman's voice was deep and heavy.
"You..." He took a step forward and immediately stopped.
He knew that Chen Yu was now in Beilin Palace, but he didn't expect Xie Tingzhou to bring her to such a place of fireworks.
“Your Highness, if we really leave like this, others will think we are up to something.” Shen Yu said calmly and lifted her hood.
There were a few soft gasps from the crowd.
It is said that looking at a beauty under a lamp is quite interesting. Looking at a beauty under the overwhelming torches, especially a beauty that cannot be seen clearly, the interest is even stronger.
Liu Fu remembered Xie Tingzhou's words that some people are not worthy of seeing, so he just glanced at them and said, "Of course, of course not. The suspect is a professional
Already caught, just…"
The guards brought Wen Lesheng out, and Liu Fu changed the subject, "It's right here."
Wen Lesheng's eyes were dull as several yamen runners behind him escorted several people out. There were two eunuchs and one of them was Fu Yao. There were also several young masters following behind them.
Liu Fu stepped forward and said, "You gentlemen are witnesses, and you need to go to the government office together."
The deceased was the cousin of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the murderer was the nephew of the Minister of War. How could they, who were drinking together, dare to refuse such a big thing?
Xie Tingzhou helped Chen Yu get on the carriage. Suddenly, a thin figure rushed out from the Jiaofangsi and headed straight towards the carriage.
The guard stepped forward to stop her, and the woman immediately fell to her knees, "Your Highness, Your Highness, help me."
Before Xie Tingzhou entered the carriage, he turned around and took a look. It was the prostitute who had just served him in Liubei Pavilion.
The head of the Music Bureau chased out and scolded in a half-hearted voice: "Hurry up and tie her up for me. How dare you, a lowly creature like you, beg His Highness for help?"
There are several important figures here, and no one dares to act without orders.
Fu Ying knelt down a few steps in fear, "Your Highness, my sister would never kill anyone, please save her."
She has no one to turn to now, and she can only try to make herself familiar to Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Fu.
Liu Fu immediately said, "That's right. Dou Qing died in this brothel, so we need to take him back for interrogation."
Xie Tingzhou said to Fu Ying, "Since this is the case, Lord Liu will handle it impartially."
Liu Fu blushed, "Your Highness is right."
Even after hearing this, Fu Ying still kowtowed and cried, "Please, Your Highness, save her. I am willing to serve you like a slave."
Xie Tingzhou understood in an instant that although this case seemed simple, there was actually a lot of hidden secrets behind it.
Dou Qing died in a brothel, and the Dou family will not let her go. The murderer is Wen Lesheng, and the Wen family will also find someone to take the blame. So this prostitute caught in the middle is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Liu Fuyin." Xie Tingzhou said nonchalantly, "This beauty has come to me to ask for help. What do you think, should I do something about this matter or not?"
Liu Fu knew that his attitude actually meant that he was prepared to take care of it, but he just didn't say it explicitly.
After all, he had been in the officialdom for many years and had mastered the art of smoothing things over. So Liu Fu said, "How can I influence your Highness's decision?"
"Yes, but Your Highness and the young prince are here, as well as the Minister. You are here to bear witness, and I will certainly handle it impartially."
Thinking of this, Liu Fu calmed down. The Wen family would certainly put pressure on him, but now that he had brought these three into the picture, it would be a guarantee.
Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain and entered. The light in the carriage was dim and he couldn't see Chen Yu's face clearly, but Xie Tingzhou had a feeling that the atmosphere was not right.
Chen Yu crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Your Highness is a hero saving a beautiful girl, how majestic."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and sat down beside her. "Isn't this for your own good? If that person dies, where can you find what you want? Besides, if you do me a favor, Fu Ying will lower her guard, and it will be easier for you to act then."
"There are many reasons." Chen Yu muttered, "I have my own way. You want to save me and still rely on me."
This guy is really hard to please tonight.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her for a moment, then suddenly lifted the curtain and said, "I forgot to say it."
Everyone in front of the Jiaofangsi looked over.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Fu Ying, then turned to look at Jiang Lianzhi and said, "You don't have to work like a cow or a horse. It's not my intention to save you, but my wife is kind-hearted and can't stand injustice. I only helped to make my wife happy."
Liu Fu was shocked. "Nenenene, wife?"
Li Chang was surprised and asked: "When did Ting Zhou get married? Could it be that the one just now..."
"That's right." Xie Tingzhou's clothes were pulled from behind. He clenched the hand quietly, but only looked at Jiang Lianzhi and said, "Don't you know, Ziyu, that besides the matchmaker's words, there is also a private marriage?"
Jiang Lianzhi suddenly clenched his fists, his teeth grinding, and looked back fiercely.
Li Chang smiled and said, "As expected of you."
"I have no choice." Xie Tingzhou tilted his head and said, "Now that I am in Shengjing, it is inconvenient to do things. I can only make concessions. I am afraid that she will be noticed by others."
After saying that, he smiled and lowered the curtain.
As the light dimmed, Xie Tingzhou saw a figure rushing towards him, but before he could react, he was thrown down by Chen Yu onto the low couch in the carriage.
The people outside the carriage only heard a "bang" inside the carriage, followed by the sound of Xie Tingzhou taking a breath.
"This..." Li Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My sister-in-law is really strong."
"That's right." Xie Tingzhou was pressed down by Chen Yu, lying on the low couch, blinking and saying innocently: "My wife is really strong."
