Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen
Chapter 141 Shen Zerui's White Moonlight
What? Shen Zerui couldn't believe his ears.
"This is the capital, the emperor's capital. How could someone set fire to something and kill someone just because they want to?"
Bai Zhi actually knew Shen Zerui quite well. He came from a prominent family and was devoted to his studies, so his mind was not that complicated at all.
It would undoubtedly be cruel to let him know the truth.
But did Baizhi’s parents deserve to be burned to death?
"Brother Rui, I don't believe that this would happen in the capital, so I want to investigate. If it is true that my parents were accidentally killed in a fire at home, I have no regrets."
"If he was really murdered, even if the murderer is the prince, I will pursue him to the end."
Shen Zerui thought about it carefully and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll help you. There must be files on the fire case back then. I'll help you check it out."
"Xiangxiang, where do you live now? You're all alone now, why don't you..."
Bai Zhi knew that she could not follow Shen Zerui into the Shen Mansion. Shen Zerui's wife Yan Xiaoxiao was arrogant and died accidentally in the Shen family. Everyone knew how she died.
But she sold herself to bury her father, so she had to have a place to go.
Jiang Jiu had already thought of it for her.
"I'm staying in a village outside of Beijing for now. After I bury my adoptive father, I plan to go to my aunt's house."
Baizhi spoke hesitantly, and her eyes looked vague and uncertain.
"But my aunt's family isn't rich...she..."
Bai Zhi couldn't continue.
Shen Zerui felt sorry for her and suddenly said, "How about this? I'll help you rent a house in Beijing, so that at least you have a place to stay..."
But just when Baizhi was about to agree.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Looking more closely, a woman in red riding clothes, leading a group of people and horses, galloping towards them from afar.
When the woman in red came in front of Shen Zerui and Bai Zhi, she snorted coldly and jumped off the horse nimbly.
"Shen Zerui, you deserve to die..."
As he spoke, he swung the long whip directly towards Bai Zhi, intending to separate the two people who were hugging each other.
Shen Zerui was shocked and terrified. He immediately hugged Bai Zhi in his arms and took the whip on his back.
As expected of the daughter of the commander of the Imperial Guard, she was torn to pieces with just one whip.
Shen Zerui gritted his teeth in pain, said nothing, turned his head angrily, and looked at Yan Xiaoxiao with a cold brow.
"what are you doing?"
When Yan Xiaoxiao heard that Shen Zerui had bought a young lady in the teahouse, she was furious and came over with people.
Now seeing Shen Zerui hugging this woman again, he was completely consumed by the fire of jealousy, losing all rationality.
His stubborn temper came out and he whipped him without any explanation.
Unexpectedly, the whip made her even angrier. Shen Zerui didn't even think about it and directly held the woman in his arms.
She wanted to whip him again, but was stopped by the maid beside her.
"lady……"
Yan Xiaoxiao pointed at Shen Zerui angrily: "If you dare to bring any woman home, believe it or not, I will kill her right now..."
Shen Zerui was already grimacing in pain. He only knew that Yan Xiaoxiao was rude and unreasonable, but he didn't expect that she was murderous.
"Why? Yan Xiaoxiao, killing someone is against the law..."
Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror, grabbed Shen Zerui's sleeve, and trembled all over.
"It's her, it's her! She was the one who had my house set on fire. She burned my family to death. I'm going to fight her..."
How could the weak Bai Zhi deal with the fierce Yan Xiaoxiao?
Being grabbed by Shen Zerui: "Don't go..."
In the wilderness, Yan Xiaoxiao would really kill Bai Zhi.
Yan Xiaoxiao also heard Bai Zhi's words, and narrowed her eyes slightly. She understood.
The woman in front of him was the woman Shen Zerui was determined to marry three years ago.
I just didn't expect that she was so lucky and was still alive and well.
Even if Shen Zerui was here, Yan Xiaoxiao would not let her go.
He quietly signaled to his men, who formed a circle and surrounded Shen Zerui and Bai Zhi.
The maid beside Yan Xiaoxiao was startled and held her hand tightly.
"Madam, you can't..."
She knew exactly what Yan Xiaoxiao was going to do...
But Yan Xiaoxiao is used to being domineering, and a maid can't control her.
Everyone drew their bows and arrows, ready for battle.
Shen Zerui was also shocked to find that Yan Xiaoxiao really wanted to kill Bai Zhi at this moment.
"Yan Xiaoxiao..."
But just when Yan Xiaoxiao was about to give the order, suddenly, a clear and sarcastic voice came over.
"Hey, who is this? In broad daylight, someone actually dares to kill someone. Let me see who this person is."
Zhao Zhuoxi rode his horse and came over.
His men quickly surrounded Yan Xiaoxiao's men.
"Sixth brother, you're useless as the Dali Temple Minister. Someone was killed in the street, and you didn't do anything. Or is it that the emperor's rule of law is too strict..."
Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head in shock and saw the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran and the Ninth Prince Zhao Zhuoxi riding towards them.
Looking at the situation before her, she was not afraid at all.
"Your Majesty, this is our family affair. You two princes are meddling too much."
His attitude was extremely arrogant, and he even looked down upon the two princes.
Zhao Zhuoran glanced at her dimly, then suddenly asked Bai Zhi, "Are you the one who filed the complaint two days ago?"
Bai Zhi knelt down and said, "That's right. I'm going to sue her...for having her people burn my family to death. I want her to pay with her life..."
Zhao Zhuoran really didn't want to have anything to do with the Yan family. After all, they were the most trusted people around the emperor. However, as a prince and the Minister of Dali Temple, if he couldn't even uphold this little bit of justice, wouldn't he be a laughing stock to the world?
"Come here, arrest her for me and bring her back to the Supreme Court."
Zhao Zhuoxi raised the corners of his lips and kept watching the Sixth Prince's men act. Yan Xiaoxiao resisted at the beginning, but no matter how high her kung fu was, she was still a woman after all.
He was subdued in a few moves by Zhao Zhuoran's men and was tied up and taken away.
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't forget to remind him, "Sixth Brother, you must try this case carefully. The people of the capital are watching. The authenticated evidence is all here. Don't let anyone bribe you."
If Zhao Zhuoran still doesn't understand what Zhao Zhuoxi means at this time, he will have lived in vain.
What Baizhi, what Yan family, what favoritism and fraud.
Maybe he had obtained the evidence a long time ago, but he had no roots in the capital before.
Now, by arresting Yan Xiaoxiao, he offended two ministers at once, the commander of the imperial guards and the prefect of the capital, as well as Prime Minister Zhou, who had a relationship with the prefect of the capital.
Moreover, this matter became known to everyone because Bai Zhi sold herself in the street to bury her father.
Even if he wanted to do it quietly, he couldn't.
At the Zhou family, Shen heard the news and hurried to Jiang Jiu's room.
"Xiaojiu, where is your friend?"
Jiang Jiu blinked: "It's in the room..."
Just as he finished speaking, Bai Zhi came in from outside with a plate of snacks.
"Girl, you said you haven't tasted Sucheng's dim sum for a long time. I made some for you. Come and try it. Is it the same taste?"
Jiang Jiu took the snack and pushed it in front of Shen.
At this moment, the butler came in from outside and reported.
"Young Madam, the Dali Temple's people are here, looking for Miss Bai..."
