Help! The villain Meiqiang is blackwashed by me!

Chapter 64 Confrontation

Fang Ruzhen's incident made Shen Jinyu start to doubt the people around him. Lin Qingqiu stared at the cronies who handled Fang Ruzhen's incident for several days without getting a single clue. Not only that, Fang Ruzhen's parents also made trouble in the imperial city. , pointed out that it was Shen Jinyu who killed their son, and asked Shen Jinyu to give an explanation for the murder.

The old couple sat at the gate of Shen's Mansion to complain about their son. The front of Shen's Mansion was crowded with people watching the excitement, and curses such as "treacherous minister" and "bad guy" were constantly heard.

This incident alarmed the court. Lu Tao sent Song Yao to sneak into Shen's mansion to ask him what was going on. Shen Jinyu told the truth.

Song Yao had a headache and said: "You have been cautious in this matter. How did those people get the news? Some good people are now spreading the news about you. Many people in the Potian Army who were originally Changlin disappeared overnight. They all said that it was You got me killed in revenge for your personal vendetta."

"It's not a rumor, I did it indeed." Shen Jinyu admitted frankly. Song Yao was stunned, looking at Shen Jinyu's still expressionless face in disbelief, and said angrily: "No, Shen Jinyu , you are now a second-rank official, why do you do things so hastily? Just do it, I understand your feelings, but how can you be caught?"

"For the people in the Potian Army, I have obtained evidence that they gambled at cards and bullied newcomers when they were in power. The emperor just issued a ban a few years ago. Gambling is strictly enforced in the army, and violators are severely punished. I have the right evidence. They were just too weak to withstand the punishment and died. As for Fang Ruzhen," Shen Jinyu raised her eyes and looked at Song Yao,

"Either there is a spy among my people, but I have been keeping an eye on those cronies for a while and there is no doubt about it. Then there is only one possibility. Fang Ruzhen came to my house under the instructions of others."

Song Yao straightened his expression, "You mean, someone is deliberately trying to harm you?"

"I can't say for sure. It might be to harm me and make me lose my heart and get out of this position. But the worse possibility is to overthrow the emperor's cronies and leave the emperor alone. You have the freedom to come and go in the court without a serious identity. Recently There have also begun to be rumors, so the latter is the most likely."

Song Yao's face became tense in vain. Shen Jinyu was right. Lu Tao's dragon heir was gone. Now something happened to the one he trusted, Shen Jinyu. These turmoils were directed at Da Jin. foundation.

"This..." Fang Ruzhen's parents looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes, and then stammered: "This, sir, Zhen'er told us personally before going out that one of his former fellow disciples is now a high official in the court. , it would be no problem if he went to ask for an errand. I let him go, but who would have thought that what he came back with was a cold corpse. I learned that the fellow high official mentioned by Zhen'er was Lord Shen. , Mr. Shen had an affair with my son when he was at Changlin Villa in the past, but now that he sees my son in such a state of desolation, he must have used his power to bully others to avenge his personal revenge, so he killed my son!"

"Yes!" Shen Jinyu nodded, "Lin Qingqiu, go and invite the two of you in."

Fu Sheng was afraid that something might happen to the old couple causing trouble at the door, so he sent a servant to guard the side to prevent anyone from approaching. Shen Jinyu had been involved in trivial matters recently, and Fu Sheng could not help, so he could only collect them for him. This is a mess.

Lin Qingqiu took the order. Not long after, Fang Ruzhen's parents came in behind Lin Qingqiu, wiping away their tears. As soon as they arrived in front of Qin Huaiming, they knelt down on the ground and started crying.

"Sir, sir, you have to make the decision for the women of the people. You are Lord Qingtian and a high official of the imperial court. You must give justice to the women of the people and my son who died tragically!"

Song Yao frowned and nodded, "I understand. Your Majesty will send Mr. Qin Huaiming to handle this matter tomorrow. He is a sensible person. When you fall down, please soften your attitude and be more humble and respectful. Mr. Qin will not embarrass you."

Qin Huaiming stroked his beard and asked, "Are you two Fang Ruzhen's parents?"

This was the first official meeting between Shen Jinyu and Qin Huaiming. Shen Jinyu did not dare to neglect and followed him with a respectful and humble look.

Qin Huaiming: "You keep crying that Lord Shen killed your son. Do you have any evidence?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I've seen it these past few days. Fang Ruzhen's parents are making trouble, but they can't produce any substantive evidence. As long as I bite this to death, they will be helpless. At most, they will lose their reputation. A little bit worse." Shen Jinyu said calmly and without any panic, "You go back first and remind the emperor that Jin Dynasty may have joined a foreign race."

Early the next morning, Qin Huaiming, wearing a purple official uniform and a first-grade chief assistant official hat, came to the Shen Mansion.

Qin Huaiming got off the sedan chair and entered Shen's Mansion. Shen Jinyu stood at the door to greet him. When he saw him, he saluted respectfully, "Shen Jinyu, Lieutenant of the Heaven-Pottering Army, joins the Chief Assistant!"

"Yes, sir," Fang Ruzhen's father followed: "This Lord Shen bullied others and killed my son. Please investigate clearly!"

Entering the main hall, Shen Jinyu and Qin Huaiming took their seats. Fu Sheng came to serve tea in person. Qin Huaiming took a sip and said straight to the point: "Master Shen, you must have guessed that because Master Shen was involved in some life disputes, your Majesty specially ordered me to come to the table. We are here to hear this matter. You and I are colleagues, so I won’t say anything more. I would also like to ask Mr. Shen to invite the two old men into the house."

"Master Shen, please excuse yourself and go in to talk." Although Qin Huaiming is old, his body is still strong, he is about the same height as Shen Jinyu, and he speaks with full force.

Shen Jinyu nodded and watched Song Yao go out through the secret door. He drank the cold tea in his cup and listened to the noise outside the house expressionlessly. For a long time, a murderous look appeared in his eyes.

"If you want to bully me, bully me. Do you still think I am the old Shen Jinyu?!"

Shen Jinyu changed into a decent turquoise blue brocade robe, and her hair was tied up on top of her head with a white jade crown. Her whole person was clean and elegant, yet not lacking in nobility. Standing there casually, she looked good-looking that could not be ignored.

"yes!"

After hearing this, Qin Huaiming frowned and asked, "So, you have no evidence to prove that Mr. Shen killed your son?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ruzhen's parents' faces turned pale. Shen Jinyu raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Huaiming, sighing in her heart that this Lord Shoufu was indeed different.

Fang Ruzhen's father touched his old tears and answered with tears, "The evidence, my son's body is the evidence. Besides Mr. Shen, who else has a grudge against my son? I have long heard that Mr. Shen sent Duan to the Villa for personal reasons. The owner of the village killed me, and Master Shen is now so powerful that he must have killed my son to vent his anger!"

Qin Huaiming's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to slander the imperial officials at will! Since you can't produce evidence that Mr. Shen killed your children, did you see who sent your children's bodies home?"
