Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 239

[239. Chapter two thirty eight]

Shu Wenlan couldn’t breathe, and his cheeks were flushed, but he was not flustered, struggling to hold Zhu Nanxian’s hand on his throat, and smiled: “In Yunlai Inn, a head of the household has died, minister. It’s an imperial envoy, and His Majesty will not kill the minister.”

This sounded groundless at first, and after thinking about it, Lu Ding was the chief of the sixth rank, and when he died, Zhai Di Shangke could temporarily cover up the past, but Shu Wenlan was an imperial envoy. A rank assistant minister, if he didn’t die, things would definitely escalate immediately.

Zhu Nanxian’s purpose was to send Zhu Lin and Shuxiang away. If Zhu Yushen sent someone to investigate the cause of Shu Wenlan’s death as soon as he entered Jinzhou, everyone in Yunlai Inn would not be able to leave.

It was precisely because of this that Shu Wenlan dared to come alone to meet Emperor Jin An.

“What’s more, even if Your Majesty is willing to consider for the Younger Highness, you must send him away first and leave him alone to bear the consequences. Your Majesty, don’t forget that there is Master Su Shiyusu who stays with you in Shu.”

Su Jin I also saw Shu Wenlan tonight. If the crime of killing the imperial envoy falls on her head, I am afraid that she will not live in peace for the rest of her life.

Shu Wenlan’s words were exactly at the heart of Zhu Nanxian’s words.

Zhu Nanxian’s pupils tightened, his arms suddenly exerted force, stuck in Shu Wenlan’s throat, and shoved aside.

Shu Wenlan lost his balance, knocked over a square table, and fell to the ground.

His vest was hurting, and his throat was even hotter. He couldn’t stand up for a while, and coughed violently while holding onto the ground. At that moment, Zhu Nanxian really wanted to kill him.

Although Zhang Yanshi had little understanding of Shu Wenlan’s words, the word “Little Highness” alone was enough to make him understand that the situation here was no trivial matter.

With a wink, he ordered the officers and soldiers in the inn to completely withdraw to one side, and asked for orders: “Your Majesty Jin’an, according to the shallow understanding of the minister, what Mr. Shu said is not unreasonable. These townspeople went to Beijing to testify for the Sangtian case, and His Majesty Yongji arrived at dawn. Jinzhou Mansion, why don’t you wait an hour or two and talk to him about this case in person?”

Zhu Nanxian ignored it, and was about to order Zhai Di to leave with someone when there was another knock on the door outside the inn. “Master Shu, Master Zhai, Master Liu and… Master Su Shiyusu, we’re

here.” The wind and rain outside had not stopped, and when Zhai Di heard the word “Su Shiyu”, he was slightly stunned, and moved his eyes behind Liu Chaoming.

Looking at it, I saw that it was really Su Jin. For a while, I forgot the etiquette. I walked to Su Jin in two steps, raised my robe and bowed down, and called out, “Sir.” Then he asked, “Sir, how can you know that? Also in the middle of Shu? The lower official said that the three-year period expired, and he invited him to be an imperial commissioner in Sichuan and Shu. After this matter, I will visit you in Ningzhou.”

Su Jin smiled and said warmly: “Qiguang, Jiuri No, how have you been recently?”

She didn’t answer Zhai Di’s words, because the cause and effect were complicated, and a few words were not enough to explain.

Although Zhai Di was younger than Su Jin for two years, he was already twenty-five or sixteen years old. He was shocked to lose his manners after being swayed by her, so he hurriedly stood up, and bowed to Zhu Nanxian and Liu Chaoming again: ” Your Majesty forgives your sins, and Lord Liu forgives your sins. The lower official never thought that he would meet Lord Su again. He was so overjoyed that he had nothing in front of him, so please punish your Majesty and your Lord.” Zhu

Nanxian shook his head: ” It’s okay.”

Ya Chai took a few more lights.

After Liu Chaoming paid his respects, he glanced at Shu Wenlan, who was leaning on the table, with a pale face, and said to Zhai Di: “Zhai Qiguang, the Sangtian case in Cuiwei Town, this official already knows about it, and I specially order you to immediately bring one hundred officers and soldiers to the Jinzhou Mansion. Yin Zhangzhengcai, Yao Youcai, magistrate of Pingchuan County, and 14 people from Cuiwei Town, went to Beijing to hear the trial,” he paused and bowed to Zhu Nanxian, “I received the pleading and learned that Your Majesty is also involved in this case, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to follow Zhai Qiguang to Beijing to testify in this case?”
