After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

After a morning of patrolling the city, Lu Chiru took a group of brothers from the Imperial Guard to their old seats in the teahouse as usual, and listened to the new opera sung by the owner over a cup of steaming tea.

Whether it is sung on the stage or discussed in private, Shen Jinmo and Wu Cixiu are the people who are always mentioned.

"Have you heard that the Xie family's steward is now using money to buy people on the street to give false testimony every day?"

"What do you mean by heard or not? I saw it with my own eyes."

"My uncle's second uncle even went to ask around. Anyone who is willing to prove for Shen Jinmo that he didn't kill the master can get ten taels of silver directly."

"This money is so easy to earn, so why don't I try to cheat them and then turn against them when the case is brought to court?"

"You really underestimate Xie Nanxing. You have to sign and stamp your name before you can receive the ten taels of silver."

"The Grand Master died so miserably. If someone really betrayed the Grand Master and gave false testimony for just ten taels of silver, that would be truly heartless."

"What do you mean by just a small amount? Ten taels of silver is enough for a whole family to eat for two years."

"Don't worry about it. I saw that they arranged for people to set up stalls in the downtown area during the day, but no one came to visit. Even if someone came close, they would just spit at the servants who were setting up the stalls."

"Is the stall open at night as well?"

"Yes, it is said that the emperor has granted permission to accept testimony from eyewitnesses even after curfew."

"What do you mean by testimony or no testimony? I think Xie Nanxing is using money to give false testimony to Shen Jinmo."

"I don't know where the Xie family got so much money?"

"It must have been embezzled. Could it be that Xie Nanxing, that sickly guy, earned it?"

"They can set up a stall to forge evidence, so let's all pool some money together to collect the real evidence. We absolutely cannot let the Master die without even getting the truth."

……

Lu Chi had always been a man of sharp ears and eyes. The guards around him were nodding their heads as they listened to the songs being sung on the stage, and he was nodding his heads as well, listening to the random conversations going on in the teahouse.

Knocking on the tea table with both hands, Lu Chi lowered his voice and asked, "Master Xie, didn't you always do it secretly when you asked someone for questioning before? Why are you acting so high-profile recently?"

The guard beside him approached Lu Chi and said, "My old man said that Master Xie was thrown into jail for spending money. I guess it was Master Shen who asked him to do this."

"Aren't you afraid of angering the Emperor by hiring someone to give false testimony in such a high-profile manner?"

"I see that they may not be able to escape the murder. Master Xie and Lord Shen are desperate and are ready to try their best to save the situation."

"Alas, I think Lord Shen is really capable and resourceful. I don't know how he got to this point today."

A few new men dressed as jailers came into the teahouse. They threw the change in their hands on the table, and the best tea and fruits were served.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, some people began to shake their heads and sigh: "Alas, Shen Jinmo is completely finished this time."

"Who said it wasn't true? Before, Xie Nanxing had people throwing money at us everyday, but he has calmed down in the past two days."

"I was guarding the prison yesterday. I saw Xie Nanxing slap Shen Jinmo in the face and threatened to divorce him."

"When Xie Nanxing walked out of the cell, she was so angry that I felt sorry for Shen Jinmo. He really didn't know how to be gentle with women."

"Looking at Xie Nanxing's sickly appearance, it's already extremely difficult for him to survive. There's no need for him to get involved in this mess."

"It seems that Xie Nanxing took the initiative to take on this case because he was blinded by Shen Jinmo. He thought Shen Jinmo would not do such a heartless thing. But after an investigation, he found out that the master was indeed killed by Shen Jinmo."

The words "The Grand Tutor was really killed by Shen Jinmo" were not out of place in the teahouse, but they attracted everyone's attention to the jailers.

How could the jailers drink tea and listen to music peacefully when being stared at like this?

After looking at each other, he asked the waiter to pack up the untouched fruits on the table, and went to the shop opposite to get two jugs of wine before returning to the prison.

Xie Nanxing, who was sitting in the elegant room on the second floor, closed the window, and all kinds of conversations coming from downstairs were completely isolated outside the room.

Public opinion is moving in the direction that Xie Nanxing hopes for.

It was still bright outside, and the soreness in Xie Nanxing's waist reminded him of the madness of the past few days.

Shen Jinmo was like a wild beast locked in a cage, waiting for this piece of fresh meat to be delivered to his mouth every day.

The beast locked in the prison stares at this piece of tender meat every day.

Once this meat gets into your mouth, you'll be tossing it around for dear life.

The dungeon now only held Shen Jinmo, and Xie Nanxing had read too many storybooks in his early years, so the two of them had no sense of propriety when they started to act recklessly.

If Shen Jinmo hadn't been thinking about Xie Nanxing having things to do during the day, Xie Nanxing would have guaranteed that they would not be able to leave the prison for more than half a year.

Seeing that Mo Ping had already skillfully driven the carriage towards the prison, Xie Nanxing hurriedly spoke to stop him: "A Ping, go back to the Xie Mansion."

If he goes to prison again, Xie Nanxing's body below the waist will be completely disabled.

After returning to Xie's house and taking a short nap, when he woke up again, Yang Huai had been waiting for a while.

He handed a list of shops that had just been finalized to Xie Nanxing: "Master, these are the shops where I plan to collect evidence of the assassination of the Grand Tutor."

Naturally, there were people arranged by Xie Nanxing in the teahouse during the day, and the suggestion of setting up a stall that was supported by everyone was naturally Xie Nanxing's original plan.

At the beginning, the stall set up by Mo Ping was just a cover. The card Xie Nanxing really wanted to play was the one handed to Yang Huai.

"Since it is organized spontaneously by the people, there should be various shops, including stalls like fortune-telling."

"Don't spend money on such things. People who are willing to talk about it only after spending money will go back on their words for money in the future."

Yang Huai nodded, and after making the changes in front of Xie Nanxing, the matter was settled.

Taking a nap is good for health. Xie Nanxing asked lazily, "Who said that I slapped Shen Jinmo?"

Yang Huai's scalp tightened, and he thought of the scene he saw when he went to the prison to pick up Xie Nanxing this morning.

He didn't actually see anything substantial.

But just the sobbing that couldn't be suppressed by covering the lips and the hands clutching the cage were enough to bring the scene to the extreme.

None of them had the courage to disturb the occasion, so the three of them could only stand on the stairs and stare at each other, waiting for another half an hour.

Seeing Xie Nanxing finally putting on her clothes and staggering up the stairs, Shen Jinmo somehow got excited and carried Xie Nanxing back again.

Xie Nanxing, who was forced into a corner, raised her hand and left three scratches on Shen Jinmo's neck, and indeed shouted several times that she wanted a divorce.

But these words were just to liven up the atmosphere, how could anyone take them seriously?

Xie Nanxing smacked his face for a while at Yang Huai's blushing, daydreaming look, and realized that he had been too busy these days and Yang Huai had been living in Xie's house for a long time.

Sui Yi, is Yang Huai hungry?

It must be Xie Nanxing who made it impossible for Sui Yi to feed Yang Huai.
