In fact, even the Marquis didn't know when Lord Shen came.

He looked at Nangong Yu, and then at Lord Shen.

Lord Shen is now forcing things to happen.

He was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and he was in charge of all the issues that happened to the people in the capital.

But recently, after the prince woke up, he dragged himself into their family's internal strife day by day.

Never mind, the prince has reported the matter to the authorities in a serious manner. Even if you care, this involves the private affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Because of the incident of sending Xiao Cheng and his wife to the yamen, every family is now waiting to see the joke of this marquisate. They all want to know what will be revealed after putting the couple of managers who were the most trusted by the former mistress of the house in jail.

The Prince of Changyong had been the current emperor's study companion since childhood, so he has been the most prominent figure since the current emperor ascended the throne.

This time he helped the emperor block a poisonous arrow and almost died at one point.

But unexpectedly, the much-talked-about marriage for good fortune brought the prince back to life.

Just look at the time when the prince came back to life, the emperor bestowed him with rewards one after another, and also invited the head of the Xie family to come to the capital. It seems that the prince will become more and more famous in the future, to the point of being extremely popular!

The more popular he is, the more people want to see him fall. Even if they can't see him fall, they still want to see some jokes to share after dinner.

The internal strife in the Marquis' Mansion has now become a laughing stock.

The result on Lord Shen's side actually came out, and he asked the Crown Prince for instructions. The Crown Prince told him not to make a judgment yet, but sent some evidence to Lord Shen step by step, and Lord Shen had to investigate again.

In fact, some things are really just matters of the inner house, and the Marquis's wife will understand them once she investigates. But now that this matter has been handed over to me, it seems that I have dragged Jingzhao Mansion into the inner house fight.

Lord Shen felt a little aggrieved, but he had nothing to say. He was instructed to find a reason to come to the Marquis' Mansion today.

Lord Shen knew that something had happened, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal. When he saw the servants with broken hands and bruised faces, Lord Shen's scalp tingled.

How did this fight happen? So bloody!

Whether it's a domestic feud or a bloody one, just handle it quietly in your mansion. Why ask me to get involved in this mess?

Lord Shen was almost getting angry with Nangong Yu, when just at this moment, a servant came to report that the Third Master and the First Master of the Zhu family had arrived.

So, Nangong Yu brought Lord Shen out.

Lord Shen was devastated. You had to bring your family's affairs to court. I wanted to cover it up for you, but you insisted on tearing it apart. What are you doing?

"Hello, Lord. It is true that I came here to investigate another case and encountered this. However, if the matter can be settled privately, then it should be settled privately. I am here to serve as a witness. But if you want to report to the authorities, then I can only take the person to the government office."

These words made the two brothers of the Zhu family look unhappy.

In this area, not only the servants will be taken away, but also the old ladies who brought the servants to cause trouble will be taken away.

They were still thinking about how to save their mother, otherwise they would put a 60-year-old woman in jail. Apart from other things, would the Zhu family still have face?

While they were still thinking about how to deal with it, they heard Nangong Yu slowly say:

"Sir Shen, we are all here now, so you don't have to look for them everywhere. Third Master Zhu was here too. He came to my house first, and then for some reason he hurried back to bring Old Madam Zhu here. When Old Madam Zhu brought people to smash our house, Third Master Zhu was drinking tea here, and he dragged Qingyi away and didn't allow her to go and tell me the news."

Qingyi immediately came out to testify that this was true.

Even Manager Zhou, the maid and servant in the study, can testify to this.

Zhu Laosan's face turned unhappy. Are they going to take him to Jingzhao Prefecture as well?

This is really hot now, not to stir up trouble:

"you dare!"

Nangong Yu said:

"I dare, Lord Shen, you dare too!"

Lord Shen puffed out his chest!

The momentum is well controlled.

Zhu Laosan's face turned purple and he suddenly wanted to rush out.

He absolutely could not fall into Lord Shen's hands. He knew clearly what he had done.

Moreover, Nangong Yu had sent some things to the Ministry of Justice before, and that person reminded him that there was some evidence against him.

If I fall into Lord Shen's hands now, that person won't be able to save me.

Zhu Lao San cursed angrily:

"You bastard, I'm still your cousin. I'm going to pick up my mother."

As he said this, he tried to sneak out of the Marquis' study from behind his brother, but...how could he get out?

Qingyi just raised his foot and tripped Zhu Laosan, who fell to the ground.

A man who looked like a yamen runner who had been following Lord Shen stepped forward and held down Zhu Lao San, and said to Qingyi:

"Thank you."

Boss Zhu's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a thud:

"Prince, I...I'll go back and get the silver, and we'll settle this privately, privately!"

He didn't dare to do what the third brother instigated.

Although he was a low-ranking official, he was in the Ministry of Justice and knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the Zhu families would become pawns in other people's games.

Therefore, he had better not offend the Marquis' Mansion too much for now, for fear that he would have to rely on the Marquis' Mansion to save the Zhu family in the end.

So, he immediately admitted the matter and said he wanted to settle it privately.

The third brother also looked at his eldest brother with pleading eyes.

He also knew that he could only settle it privately! But he couldn't afford to offend that person, so what should he do?

Zhu Laosan was also very desperate.

If he enters Jingzhao Prefecture, he will never be able to get out.

Sure enough, I heard Nangong Yu say:

"Now that the person has been captured, I will not send Lord Shen away. When I am needed to provide evidence, I will provide it. As for Madam Zhu, for the sake of my grandmother, please give her some face and let her return to the Zhu family. Anyway, if she is guilty, she will not be able to escape."

This...well, he did it as a good guy too!

Lord Shen raised his hand expressionlessly and clasped his fists:

"Then we will take Master Zhu San to investigate this matter. Master Zhu Da will take the injured servants back for treatment. Oh, there is another servant I need to take with me."

Then Jiuhuan also came over, but she was escorting a maid, who was the one that Gu Ruoxi had hidden in the dark.

Lord Shen evacuated quickly, and the two people he brought with him took these two people away.

He had to leave quickly, fearing that if he stayed, the prince would assign him more tasks.

The eldest brother, seeing that he had already accepted the private settlement, still wanted to take the third brother away, and hurriedly begged the Marquis:

"My Lord, let them release the Third Brother. You know that he has a perverse temper. He did something wrong today, and my father will punish him severely when he returns. But now let him and I take my mother back. We will settle this matter privately as the prince said."

He knew it was useless to ask the prince for help, so he could only ask the marquis for help.

Nangong Yu interrupted the Marquis's words:

"Master Zhu, you said you agreed to settle the matter privately, but you still have to bring the silver before you can take the people away. It's not far from the curfew, so Master Zhu should hurry back and bring the silver."
