Fu Jingen looked at Gai Chun and asked, "How many years have you been with Mr. Shen?"

"It's been eighteen years. I was in Ryukyu when the Lu family disappeared."

Fu Jingen asked bluntly: "Then you should know, how much money your master has made over the years?"

Gai Chun looked up at him and saw his expression faintly. He said in a tangled manner: "There should be about one million taels of silver. But I earned more and spent more. According to my estimate, I have saved 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver over the years."

If Fu Jingen believes this, he is a fool: "How much has it cost to spend these days?"

Gai Chun has been following Shen Tao, and he knows the big expenses: "There are about 140,000 taels of silver."

It was not until the evening when Chen Tao came back: "Jingen, I have already prepared my orders. We will go to the prison early tomorrow morning."

Fu Jingen didn't ask him what he was looking for, but just said, "I have a suggestion that you hope you can consider it."

"you say."

Fu Jingen said: "I heard from Gai Chun that your shops are still open to do business. I suggest you sell all these shops, even if the price is lower."

Seeing that Chen Tao didn't say anything, Fu Jingen said: "Only by selling the shop and making Prefect Meng think that you are at your end of your life, he will be able to release people."

Chen Tao said, "Don't you know the censor Zhuo? We can find a way for the Zhuo family and then let the prefect Meng release the people."

Fu Jingen glanced at him and said lightly: "We have a way to solve this problem, why should we ask the Zhuo family?"

How could he ask others for things that can be solved by himself? It is true that he has kindness to the Zhuo family, but these loves must be used on the edge.

"What's your solution?"

Fu Jingen said: "Magistrate Meng is just asking for money. He wants to squeeze money from you and will release Uncle Shen."

Chen Tao shook his head and said, "Even if the magistrate Meng knows that our family has no money, he may not release others. Jingen, you don't know that my father has a mortal grudge with the boss of Yaoji Trading Company. If we don't give money, he will also give money to the magistrate Meng, and then use the magistrate Meng's hand to harm my father."

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. I will go to Magistrate Meng to talk to him to release him."

Chen Tao was very hesitant.

Fu Jingen said impatiently: "If you believe me, do what I say. If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

If Chen Tao did not do as he said, Fu Jingen wouldn't care. Because the cooperation of the Shen family could not save people, it had nothing to do with Chen Shaozhou's accident.

Seeing him with a cold face, Chen Tao hesitated and said, "Let me consider it."

After eating, Fu Jingen went back to her room to read books, and she studied until midnight before going to bed.

The next day, Chen Tao came to find Fu Jingen at dawn, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw him practicing swordsmanship.

Chen Tao was a little surprised. After Fu Jingen finished practicing the sword, he asked, "Jingen, do you still know martial arts?"

"I learned a trick and half of the stance, and I learned this mainly to strengthen my body."

Gai Chun said in his heart that you are so humble. He has no chance of winning against these moves. At the same time, he also understood why Chen Shaozhou admired him very much.

After breakfast, Fu Jingen changed into a short dress like Gai Chun. Then she applied something on her face, and a slightly white face instantly turned dark.

Chen Tao was a little surprised: "Jingen, are you?"

"This is not eye-catching."

Chen Tao also rode a horse, so the group was the prefect's ruling yamen riding horses.

On the way, Chen Tao asked, "Jingen, I heard that you are not only friends with Lord Zhuo's son, but also classmates with the wife of the governor?"

Fu Jingen nodded.

"Then, if Lord Zhuo doesn't help, can we help find the governor's wife?"

Fu Jingen did not answer the conversation.

Chen Tao was a little disappointed, but when he thought of Chen Shaozhou who was still in prison, he said with a stingy head: "Jingen, I know this is a bit difficult. But my father has been imprisoned for almost a month, and the environment in the prison is so poor, I am really afraid that his body can't stand it."

Fu Jingen glanced at him and said lightly: "I don't like to say the same thing again."

His appearance made Chen Tao think of Qingshu, and Qingshu's attitude towards their Shen family has always been faint.

Until the yamen, Chen Tao did not dare to talk to Fu Jingen again.

When Chen Tao arrived at the yamen, he stuffed a bag of silver for the prison head, and the prison head took them to see Chen Shaozhou in person.

Chen Shaozhou's treatment is pretty good. He has a single cell and the bedding inside looks relatively new.

The prison head untied the key to the prison and said, "If you have anything to say, I will call you in a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, the prison head left.

After Fu Jingen and other prisoners walked away, they bowed: "Jingen has met his uncle."

After staying in prison for more than 20 days, Chen Shaozhou lost weight a lot, but he was in good spirits. Compared to last time he saw him, he had a lot of white hair on his head.

Hearing this voice, Chen Shaozhou was surprised: "Jingen, why are you like this?"

"I've applied something on my face."

Chen Shaozhou asked hurriedly: "Jingen, are the old lady and Qingshu and the others okay?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "No, the old lady fainted from anxiety after knowing that something happened to you. Qingshu was very worried about coming to Fuzhou, but I was worried and came for her."

"Make her worry that it's mine."

Fu Jingen didn't like to say these stupid words, so he said to Chen Tao: "You go around the corner and watch, don't let people get close."

Chen Tao was a little hesitant.

Chen Shaozhou directly ordered: "Atao, listen to Jingen and watch around the corner."

After Chen Tao left, Fu Jingen asked directly: "I want to ask you this time, did you kill Lu? "

Chen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "No, she committed suicide by hitting the wall."

Fu Jingen said: "Uncle, you have to know that someone breaks his head with a heavy object and commits suicide by hitting himself on the wall. The wounds caused by the two are different. Experienced coroners can be seen from the wounds."

"I didn't lie to you. She really committed suicide by hitting the wall." Chen Shaozhou sneered: "Of course, if she hadn't committed suicide at that time, I wouldn't have let her live."

Fu Jingen said solemnly: "If the Prime Minister Meng dares to accuse you of killing someone, I will go to the Censor Zhuo. You should know that Censor Zhuo is the Censor Zhuo, who can't stand the sand in his eyes. If you lied to me, no one can save you once he found out the truth."

It is precisely because of the presence of the Censor Zhuo, that the Prime Minister Meng did not dare to close the case, because once the case file was closed, it would be submitted to the Censor. The evidence in this case was insufficient, and the Censor must reiterate it during the review. Once it was determined that it was a false and wrong case, the Censor Meng might not be protected. Therefore, the Censor Meng delayed the case and wanted to make money from the Shen family.

Chen Shaozhou said, "I didn't lie to you. Lu did commit suicide by hitting the wall."
