The Return of the Demon

Chapter 292 I Want to Save Her

After bragging for a long time with the group of animals in the same place, Ning Chen came to Geng Jing's room.

Geng Jing looked at Ning Chen with joy on his face, "He's getting darker and stronger... Capturing Fuzhou and regaining the border is amazing!"

Immediately, Geng Jing personally made a cup of tea for Ning Chen.

"Hero, please have tea!"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, speechless.

Geng Jing looked at Ning Chen and said, "Your clothes are good and the style is very nice...Which clothing shop made them? I'll order two of them later."

Ning Chen turned around and said, "How about it? Does it look good?"

Geng Jing nodded in affirmation.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Beauty Clothing Shop, warm your body and warm your heart."

"Beauty Clothing Shop? I've never heard of it. Where is it?"

"In the Jiaofang Division!"

Geng Jing had a question mark on his forehead.

Ning Chen's face was filled with embarrassment, "Yu Die sewed this for me personally. It's the only one in the world. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."

Geng Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Ning Chen with a sullen expression, and said sourly: "Actually, it doesn't look good at all!"

Ning Chen was even more arrogant, and Geng Jing was envious and jealous.

Geng Jing walked back and sat down and said, "I just came back, why don't you take a good rest for two days? The Supervision Department has nothing to do recently?"

Ning Chen took a few sips of tea, put down the tea cup, and asked, "Master Geng, do you know Zi Su?"

Geng Jing was slightly startled, then nodded.

"Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng told me that Zisu treated your injuries when we were in Fuzhou."

"That child, what a pity...I have known her for a long time, when she was still a little girl."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I heard that she used to admire you a lot?"

Geng Jing smiled and shook his head, "No, you expect me to get hurt every day."

Ning Chen smiled.

Immediately, Ning Chen's face straightened, "I want to save her."

Geng Jing was startled and looked at him in astonishment.

"Two court officials died, and Prince Duan was also involved. Long Yan was furious... Just because Zi Su and I knew each other, His Majesty handed the case over to the Criminal Department."

"Ning Chen, this case is too involved and there is no possibility of overturning the verdict... Zisu saved Pan Yucheng and got acquainted with me. I also want to help her, but His Majesty has decreed that I am prohibited from intervening. I advise you Don't interfere either, lest you displease His Majesty."

Ning Chen shook his head and said resolutely: "It depends on the human effort. I want to give it a try."

"This matter involves Prince Duan, and no one can save Miss Zisu."

Ning Chen smiled calmly, "I have always believed that man can conquer nature."

"Sir Geng, I want to check the cases in Xiuzhou from ten to fifteen years ago. All major and important cases that occurred...the Supervision Department must have archives."

Geng Jing looked confused, "Why are you checking this?"

Ning Chen said solemnly: "I'm not sure now...but Zisu will not assassinate the prefect and governor of Yizhou, as well as Prince Duan for no reason, unless there is a blood feud between them."

"Zisu is eighteen or nineteen years old this year. I once heard Shanglue say that he adopted Zisu in Xiuzhou when she was six or seven years old."

"If there is a blood feud between Zisu and King Duan, the prefect of Xiuzhou and the governor, then this incident must have been quite serious at that time. Based on the time when Shanghulu adopted Zisu and her current age, the incident must have happened ten to fifteen years ago. this time period.”

Geng Jing nodded slightly.

"Your inference makes sense, but don't forget that the Supervision Department investigates all major and important cases, most of which involve court officials... If Zisu is a girl from an ordinary family, the Supervision Department may not have records."

Ning Chen said solemnly: "It doesn't matter! First check the archives of the Supervision Department. If not, I will check the archives of the Criminal Department. If that still doesn't work, I will go to Xiuzhou myself."

Geng Jing sighed deeply: "You have to think about it carefully. His Majesty asked me to recuse myself from this case. In fact, he is asking the Supervision Department to recuse himself... By doing this, you are resisting the order."

Ning Chen smiled and said lightly: "I don't want to leave any regrets."

Geng Jing knew that Ning Chen had made up his mind.

"Okay! Just go crazy with your kid once... If His Majesty really takes the blame, let's be unlucky together."

Ning Chen laughed, "Shall we find Lao Pan too?"

Geng Jing nodded and went out.

Not long after, Geng Jing led a group of men in red and brought all the files.

Pan Yucheng is also here.

After Hongyi exited, Ning Chen told Pan Yucheng the matter!

Pan Yucheng didn't hesitate, Zisu saved his life... If he could help Zisu, he would be obliged to do so!

The three of them didn't waste any time and started looking through the case files.

In the past five years, there have been too many cases... so the workload was huge. Before we knew it, it was lunch time, and the three of them continued to read without lifting their butts.

Ning Chen even forgot about entering the palace to meet the saint.

Suddenly, Geng Jing said: "Ning Chen, look at this?"

He handed over a case file.

Ning Chen took it and looked through it for a while, then looked up at Geng Jing, "Is there anything wrong with this case file?"

"Liu Zhichen, the magistrate of Qinghe County in Xiuzhou, is Yudie's father."

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed. He only knew that Yudie was the daughter of a prison officer. Yudie didn't tell her the specific details, and he didn't ask.

His eyes fell on the case file.

Yudie's original name was Liu Zhirou. The name Yudie was changed after she came to the Jiaofang Division.

Her father, Liu Zhichen, was embezzled and bribed. He made clever excuses and extorted taxes. He even colluded with local grain merchants to sell grain seeds, destroying thousands of acres of fertile land and leaving the people with no harvest. They were forced to rebel.

The main culprit in this incident was Yan Wenbo, the then prefect of Xiuzhou.

Originally, it should have been a serious crime that would have required the execution of nine clans, but at that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he happened to grant amnesty to the whole country.

Therefore, the main culprit Yan Wenbo was sentenced to the execution of his entire family.

The accomplice Liu Zhichen was beheaded, the male members of the clan were exiled, and the female members were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

The gold-clad official who presided over this case at that time was called Qian Wei.

Ning Chen asked curiously, "Why haven't I heard of this Qian Wei?"

Geng Jing said, "Qian Wei used to be a gold-clad official in the second department. Once he was on a mission, he was ambushed and died!"

"When did it happen?"

"About ten years ago!"

Ning Chen said.

Now he was investigating the matter of Perilla, so Ning Chen collected his thoughts and put the case file aside.

But suddenly, Ning Chen picked up the case file again.

He stared at the sentence in Liu Zhichen's crime, colluding with grain merchants, reselling grain seeds, passing inferior goods off as good ones, and destroying thousands of acres of fertile land.

There was nothing wrong with this sentence itself? But he suddenly remembered the words that Lin Wen said when he left the prison of the Ministry of Justice yesterday.

"It's called the Fairy Flower, but it's actually the Heartbroken Grass. Blood weeps over ten thousand acres of fields, and green seedlings turn into dry grass. Look up to the heavens, and one hand covers the eyes of the heavens..."

Geng Jing looked over, "What are you mumbling about? Did you find anything?"

Ning Chen ignored him and muttered to himself: "Liu Zhichen destroyed ten thousand acres of fertile fields, and Lin Wen said that blood wept over ten thousand acres of fields. Is it a coincidence?"

At this moment, a young and loud voice sounded outside the door: "Ning Yinyi, there is a man named Tian Jiang, who says he is your servant, and wants to see you."

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, stood up, said hello, and left.

Came to the outside of the Supervisory Office

Tian Jiang hurried over, bowed and said, "Mr. Ning, it wasn't long after you left the Music Bureau this morning? Miss Xiao Xing also left the Music Bureau."

"I followed her secretly and found that Miss Xiao Xing secretly met with a man in his fifties and gave him a golden hairpin."

"Golden hairpin?" Ning Chen frowned slightly, "Who is that man?"

Tian Jiang said, "I don't know his specific identity...but I followed him quietly and watched him enter the Ministry of Justice."

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, "Ministry of Justice?"

Tian Jiang hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, at this moment, he seemed to have grasped a lot of things?
