I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

  Chapter 360 Half of one person

"When Cao Xinyue arrived at the Qinhuai Tower that day, it was exactly the quarter of the hour, and she went to an upper room on the sixth floor. At the third quarter of the hour, Lin Youyang went to see her; Before leaving, I told the bustard of Qinhuai Tower not to disturb Cao Xinyue's rest."

"But on the morning of February 16th, Zi'er, the maid beside Fan Xuancao, saw Lin Zhixuan coming out of the room where Cao Xinyue rested... By noon, Cao Xinyue had already died. The cause of death was sudden death. I've inhaled a lot of smoke before."

  Although Ji Zhao and this Cao Xinyue have never known each other before, but at this moment, he feels very sorry for this seventeen-year-old girl.

"That is to say, before Cao Xinyue died, she only met the Lin family father and son?" Ji Zhao narrowed his eyes and said in a heavy tone, "The Lin family father and son are the murderers? But Cao Xinyue and Lin Youyang have a marriage contract, and sooner or later he can marry She is his wife, and he owns her openly and squarely, why does he..."

  As if he suddenly thought of something, Ji Zhao suddenly opened his eyes wide.

   Could it be that Lin Zhixuan was the one who bullied Cao Xinyue?

  Cao Xinyue is the daughter-in-law of the Lin family who has not yet married, no matter how crazy Lin Zhixuan is, she shouldn't—

   "Zhao Zhao, some people are born as beasts." Sensing that something was wrong with her emotions, Shen Yao hurriedly held her hand, and gently comforted her.

"If you want to punish the Lin family father and son, you need to find evidence. So I thought about using myself as a bait. I never thought that Lin Zhixuan was a very cunning person. He deliberately set up a grand banquet." Shen Yao sighed helplessly, " I was too careless to fall into his trick."

  Since Emperor Jingchen came to the throne, Shen Yao, as the best knife in his hand, already has the title of iron-blooded Chief Assistant.

  Shen Yao is recognized as a resourceful person, so at first he didn't take the Lin family father and son seriously, and that's why he suffered such a big loss.

   "Just now I carefully inspected the wound on your chest," Ji Zhao stared at him pretending to be annoyed, and said viciously, "Thanks to the poor skill of the archer, the wound didn't penetrate the vital point."

   "Lord Yan also knows that I have not been with Zhao Zhao until the end of life, so he is reluctant to take my life."

   "Nonsense!" Ji Zhao pinched his ears angrily, and then asked, "What about Fanliflower? What's going on?"

"Lin Zhixuan added a lot of kerosene to the painting boat, and after thinking twice, I jumped into the canal. According to the original plan, someone would come to meet me at the designated place, but for some reason, I suddenly didn't I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was in Fan Hemerocallis' private house." Shen Yao explained frankly.

   "I see." Ji Zhao nodded slightly, then stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "Shen Yao, what should we do now to break this situation?"

   "Respond to all changes with the same." Shen Yao said with a shallow smile.

"But…"

"Zhaozhao, trust me." Shen Yao scratched her palm, and explained with a smile, "By the way, Zhaozhao found out about me, don't say anything; Jinling prefect Du Minghai belongs to His Majesty, Zhaozhao remembers to send someone Inform Du Minghai of the disappearance of Liu Ruxuan, the courtesan of the Qinhuai Building."

  Ji Zhao thought about it seriously, then raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Qinhuai Tower?"

  Cao Xinyue's case happened in Qinhuai Tower, and it is well known that Liu Ruxuan is Lin Zhixuan's confidante.

  Follow the clue of Qinhuai Building, and you will definitely find corresponding evidence.

   "Where is Brother Qin?"

   "Don't tell him about me just yet," Shen Yao said in a calm tone with lowered eyes.

  Ji Zhao's heart sank, "Shen Yao, do you think Brother Qin is untrustworthy?"

  Shen Yao shook his head lightly, "It's not that he doesn't trust Brother Qin, it's just that some people from the Cao Gang are involved in this case. If Brother Qin is also involved, I'm afraid he will get angry."

   "Also."

  In the middle of May, the sunshine in Jinling City is still warm.

  In the Jiangnan area, the four seasons are like spring.

   After recuperating for half a month, the wound on Shen Yao's body gradually healed.

"People from the Cao Gang blocked the door of the Lin Mansion every day. I heard that Lin Youyang was infected with the willow disease and was regarded as an abandoned son by Lin Zhixuan." Ji Zhao said while peeling an apple, "It's a pity that we can't inquire about it." As for the matter of going to Lin's residence, if we can grasp Lin Zhixuan's weakness, then we can prescribe the right medicine."

"Jinling Prefect Du Minghai was His Majesty's confidant in the early years. Before he took the throne, His Majesty realized that the corruption in the south of the Yangtze River was too rampant, so His Majesty arranged Du Minghai to Jinling early." Shen Yao laughed softly, " Long before I came to Jinling, I had already met this prefect Du, although the Lin Mansion is fortified with iron walls, but there are still people who want to explore the scenery outside the walls."

  Ji Zhao understood the implication of what he said, and couldn't help taking a bite of the apple. The crisp voice made Shen Yao a little surprised, "So Zhao Zhao didn't peel this apple for me to eat?"

   "Half for each person." Ji Zhao smiled and handed him the undamaged side of the apple.

  But Shen Yao held her wrist, and followed the tooth marks she bit on the apple just now, covering it.

  For some reason, Ji Zhao always felt a little hot at the base of his ears.

   "Ahem, that means Prefect Du has already placed people in the Lin Mansion?"

   "Well," seeing her rosy cheeks, Shen Yao's heart moved, and he raised his lips silently, "Zhao Zhao, just wait, in a few days, this Jinling City will undergo earth-shaking changes."

  Ji Zhao responded sullenly, she missed Kang Er a little.

   Two days later, Lin Youyang beat the drums and sounded a grievance against his father, Lin Zhixuan, for being promiscuous and bullying his daughter-in-law!

   As soon as this news came out, the entire Jinling City was shocked!

   It was Ji Zhao, who was also in a daze when he heard the news.

"Lin Zhixuan's licentiousness is unrestrained. I don't know how many things he has done over the years. Now with Lin Youyang's confession, the truth of Cao Xinyue's death has gradually surfaced." Shen Yao sighed softly, "It's a pity that we finally It's still too late."

  If they could reach Jinling earlier, maybe those innocent lives would not just wither.

"A son sues his father, and the people sue the government. According to the Dajing law, the accuser must roll naked on the bed of nails. If it is proved to be a false accusation, the accuser will receive the punishment of being burned." Ji Zhaoqing lowered his eyes. , asked curiously, "Lin Youyang has always been an absurd playboy, how could he suddenly have the courage to sue his father?"

   "Even a dandy has its weaknesses." Shen Yao gently held her hand, and said with a smile, "If Zhao Zhao wants to know the inside story, why not accompany me to the prefect's mansion?"
