Chapter 174 The Death of Fang Sheng

At dusk, Zhuang Meng Shao also returned to Keyi Garden. Now that he has confiscated the Fang family, the rest of the matter is no longer important. He is just to control the situation in Jiangnan and wait for His Majesty to issue an order. The Ministry of Personnel will recommend officials to come to Yangzhou as the prefect.

As for how to convict Fang's family, it was a matter of the Ministry of Justice's review and had nothing to do with Shao Shuhuan. Therefore, he also ended up having a leisurely life. The things in Jiangnan were unexpectedly smooth, so smooth that he always felt something was wrong. The weather in February was already very warm, and he leaned lazily on the chair cushion. Shao Shuhuan was having tea while watching some things sent by Zhuang Meng Shao.

In the capital, in the Shao family's study, Shao She slowly walked in a square step.

"Master—" A man in black appeared strangely at the door and bowed, "Everything is ready."

"Well..." Shao She agreed without any objection and asked, "Is Gu Shaoshang not by his side?"

"Not only the Shaoshang is not by the young master's side, but even the Xuanji inner guard is taken with him. The Liu family's journey is very slow, otherwise, they would have been to Jiangnan today." Black-clothed replied.

"The Liu family - naturally, I can just drag it." Shao She smiled and asked a person who was originally planning to fight on the battlefield to be a guard. It would be strange if he could feel good. But Shao Shuhuan is not a prince, but just a concubine of his Shao family. The one from the Liu family is afraid that he will even get angry with his lungs.

"What excuse did the prince make to transfer Gu Shaoshang?" Shao She asked. "He said that the princess was missing." Black whispered.

"Princess?" Shao She shook her head. Ji Ming couldn't learn to be smarter. What excuses were hard to find? But why didn't Shao Shuhuan even aroused suspicion? He still let Gu Shaoshang leave like this? In a vague way, Shao She felt something was wrong.

"I asked the princess to go to Jiangnan just to give the Mo family a little chance... Huan'er should be interested in her, why is it messing around now? Princess?" Shao She shook her head and said, "Gu Shaoshang is not stupid, and Shuhuan is not stupid, I'm afraid that something is still wrong in the middle."

"Master..." the man in black was puzzled and bowed and asked, "What's wrong with Master?"

"As planned, I ordered all the people in Jiangnan to prepare. My Shao family is cheap. It is not so easy to occupy land." Shao She chuckled faintly.

In Jingyang Palace, Emperor Zhou looked pale and pinched a message tube in his hand. How could this happen? Shuhuan? What should Shuhuan do?

"Come here--" Emperor Zhou shouted loudly.

Zhang Derong walked in with a smile and bowed and said, "The slave is here."

"Why haven't Liu Yuheng arrived in Jiangnan yet?" Emperor Zhou said angrily. "How many days have you been?"

"Report to Your Majesty. There will be a few days to go from the capital to Jiangnan. Where can I fall down just by saying it?" Zhang Derong smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty miss His Highness Huan?"

"Issuing an order. Let Shuhuan come back immediately!" said Emperor Zhou, "Hurry!"

"Your Majesty, now?" Zhang Derong frowned, "It's dark..."

Emperor Zhou leaned on the chair decadently, it was dark. It was dark...it meant that it was too late. Even if he issued an order now and waited for the imperial edict to arrive, how long would it take? And everything was too late.

Jiangnan, Keyi Garden

After dinner, Shao Shuhuan discussed the situation in Jiangnan with Zhuang Meng Shao. While instructing Wang Tai to prepare, he would go to Hangzhou, Jinling and other places to have fun. He took a tour of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and then wanted to return to the capital.

Dugu Lanyu poured him tea. As soon as Shao Shuhuan took a sip, a guard rushed in at the door. Zhuang Meng Shao frowned and said, "Why are you so rude and hitting the young master?"

"Report to the young master." The official hurriedly knelt down half-kneel and said, "Young master, something is not good."

"Heaven is going to step on?" Shao Shuhuan asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Lin said - Fang Sheng was killed in prison..." The official said anxiously.

"What?" Shao Shuhuan was shocked. "Is Fang Sheng dead?"

"Yes!" the official almost nodded. "Mr. Lin asked me to report to the young master quickly."

"Yeah!" Shao Shuhuan ordered, "I'll go now." Then he stood up and hurriedly ordered people to prepare the car, and rushed to the Yangzhou Yamen with Mr. Zhuang Meng.

"Master, bring Lanyu with you!" Lanyu rushed out quickly, put a coat on Shao Shuhuan, and said, "It's cold tonight. You must be careful - take Lanyu with you?"

Seeing that she was gentle and cute, Shao Shuhuan was really nice to ask about her well-being. He couldn't help but pinch her pink face and shook his head and said, "You stay at home obediently. There is nothing to see in the dead. Be careful to scare you."

"Yes!" Dugu Lanyu saw that he said this, and did not force himself. He just looked at Shao Shuhuan's car and then turned back to Keyiyuan.

But Shao Shuhuan's carriage rushed to the Yangzhou Yamen, and Lin Pu continued to greet him.

Shao Shuhuan asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Pu was also anxious. Shao Shuhuan once repeatedly told him not to let Fang Sheng commit suicide, otherwise it would be very troublesome. Now Fang Sheng died in the prison and he couldn't get rid of it. Therefore, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Shao Shuhuan. When he saw him, cold sweat came out on his head and bowed, "Young master, come in and take a look, you will know..."

Seeing that he said this, Shao Shuhuan nodded and walked into the prison. Lin Pu was worried that Fang Sheng would commit suicide, and that other prisoners would bully him and cause unnecessary trouble, so he was locked up in the prison alone, and ordered the official to be held strictly for the officials.

The officials held torches and surrounded Shao Shuhuan into the innermost part of the prison. When they opened the heavy prison door, Shao Shuhuan was immediately startled by the terrifying situation inside.

Fang Sheng raised his head on his back, spread his hands and feet, and died in the cell straight.

Lin Pu bowed and said, "The officials dare not ask the coroner to be tested for injuries, so he looked at it. Fang Sheng was cut more than ten times, but his only fate was a knife in the abdomen." He said, while gesturing twice beside Fang Sheng.

Shao Shuhuan nodded. This man could have killed Fang Sheng with one knife, but for some reason, he only cut the person for more than ten times before finally cutting his abdomen, and even his intestines flowed out...

The terrifying smell of blood was filled with the prison cell, which made Shao Shuhuan involuntarily think of the porters who died under the rocks by the river. Killing people is really a common thing, but is it necessary to make the scene so terrifying?

retribution

This is probably the so-called retribution? Shao Shuhuan shook his head. Fang Sheng was definitely not a good person. Shuang'er's lovely sisters had already aroused Shao Shuhuan's murderous intent. The innocent porters on the river later made him hate him. However, Fang Sheng should not die in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but should be taken to the capital for trial. Finally, the Zhengpao sentence was clear.

"Young Master." Zhuang Meng Shao whispered, "This person who is trying to do it seems to be forcing a confession."

"Forcing a confession?" Shao Shuhuan was stunned and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean is that the murderer did not intend to kill people. Because Fang Sheng did not say that, he had murderous intentions?"

"No." Zhuang Meng Shao shook his head and said, "I don't know if the murderer wants to kill someone. However, judging from the wounds on Fang Sheng's body, this man did not think about killing him at the beginning... but why he did it later, he didn't know."

Shao Shuhuan was dazed and Fang Sheng died. Who could take action in the end? After thinking about it, the Shao family was the one who was most likely to take action.

The Shao family and the Fang family are in-laws, and Fang Sheng has done a lot of things for Shao She. Now that the Fang family has collapsed, Shao She is afraid that Fang Sheng will bite him in the Ministry of Justice in the end, and it is reasonable to kill him to silence him - but who is the one who took action?

"You find a reliable coroner for post-mortem!" Shao Shuhuan ordered.

Lin Pu was busy agreeing. Shao Shuhuan thought about it, turned around and walked out, looked at Lin Pu next to him, and asked, "When will the body be found?"

"It was half an hour later in the kitchen today than before. When the jailer came in, he found the place when he brought the meal in." Lin Pu said hurriedly.

"Does the Fang family's family know that Fang Sheng is dead?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

Lin Pu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I don't know, the officials ordered all officials to say it."

Shao Shuhuan nodded and said, "It is not easy to enter the prison. Moreover, no one has noticed so many officials guarding me?"

"The officials are also wondering." Lin Pu said hurriedly.

Shao Shuhuan stared at him for a moment, suddenly smiled coldly, and asked again: "How long has Lord Lin been the magistrate of Yangzhou?"

"Reporting to the young master, I have been the county magistrate of Yangzhou for six years." Lin Pu said, generally speaking, county magistrates are changed every three years. If they have political achievements, they can also be promoted. If not, there will be many transfers. However, Yangzhou is a rich place. Lin Pu has been the county magistrate for three years and had the opportunity to raise the transfer. He went to give some money and handle some things, but he still stayed in Yangzhou and became the county magistrate for another three years.

"What good did my father promise you and let you kill Fang Sheng?" Shao Shuhuan asked softly.

"My husband... what did the young master say?" Lin Pu asked in shock and stammered.

"I'm asking, did my father promise you Yangzhou magistrate? I asked you to kill Fang Sheng? But, why did you force Fang Sheng to confess?" Shao Shuhuan asked with his hands on his back and chuckled.

"Young Master's clarification!" Lin Pu only felt his feet soft, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The death of Fang Sheng has absolutely nothing to do with the death of the Lord, and the death of the Lord will never know Mr. Shao..."
