Rebirth: Phoenix Palm Nine Heavens

After helping Pei Xiyue arrange the new house, Xiao Jinse did not go home directly, but took Yunshan Yunshu out of the city.

By the river outside the city, there is a three-story restaurant called Linjiang Tower. On weekdays, many literati and elegant people gather here to talk about things and paintings.

Xiao Jinse left the city in a hurry because she suddenly thought of a person she met in her previous life, Zhu Xi. He was a talented and ambitious man. After he entered Jingning City, he was recruited by the second prince as an aide soon after.

In the last life, I had a battle of wits and courage with him. Although we sympathized with each other, each had his own master, and in the end it was a life and death situation.

In this life, she will keep this talent in her hands and will not let either the second prince or the prince get his help.

"Miss, what are we doing here at Linjiang Tower?"

"Find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Miss, just tell me and I will find the person. Why bother to find the person yourself?" Yun Shan said.

"It's natural for me to be sincere if I come in person. In ancient times, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang three times, and King Wen of Zhou visited Jiang Taigong by the stream. Today, we also come to Linjiang Tower to search for Zhu Xi." Xiao Jinse said with a slight curl of lips.

"Zhu Xi? This name sounds familiar." Yun Shu said with a slight frown.

Xiao Jinse didn't expect that Yun Shu actually knew Zhu Xi, "Do you know this Zhu Xi?"

"Yes, miss, the tip I just received this morning is about Zhu Xi."

"Oh? What did you say?" Xiao Jinse asked curiously.

"This Zhuxi is from Lianshui County, Qianzhou. He and his mother Yao are dependent on each other. But the son of the magistrate of Lianshui County fell in love with his family's ancestral home and wanted to buy it, but Zhuxi refused. Later, the county Ling framed him for raping his next-door neighbor, a widow."

"Can it still be done like this?" Yunshan asked in surprise.

"Not to mention that Emperor Tiangao of Lianshui County is far away, the county magistrate is the local emperor. Even if the emperor sends the governor there, the people will not tell the truth." Xiao Jinse said solemnly.

"What happened next? Did he get slandered like this?" Yun Shan asked anxiously.

"The county magistrate was not willing to give him a chance to prove his innocence. He insisted that he was a criminal. Xue Xue therefore revoked his title as a scholar, seized his family's house, and even drove him to guard the righteous village."

"This Zhuxi is real. Isn't it just a house? As long as the price is right, even the ancestral house can't be sold. If you let someone frame you, you can't keep the house in the end. What are you trying to do?" Yun Shan said lightly.

In Yunshan's view, this Zhu Xi is a fool. He can easily get things done, but he insists on getting himself covered in bruises.

"He learned the skills of autopsy from the old man who was guarding Yizhuang in Yizhuang. Later, another case of a widow being raped occurred in Lianshui County. The method of committing the crime was exactly the same as that of Zhu Xi. But the county magistrate must not unjustly accuse Zhu again. Because Zhu Xi was in Yizhuang outside the city, it was impossible for him to be in the city at that time. Later, the county magistrate sent someone to ask the old man who was guarding Yizhuang to do an autopsy, and Zhu Xi discovered the clues. Finally He also planned to arrest the real criminal. Later, Zhu Xi wanted to report the matter to Futai Yamen, but in order to appease Zhu Xi, the county magistrate pretended to return his house and asked Xuezheng to restore his reputation. As a result, there was a fire on the first night we moved home. Zhu Xi’s mother also died in the fire.”

This is the darkness of officialdom, Xiao Jinse sighed secretly in his heart.
