Chapter 95: The Old Case
The man in black looked at Lu Chengxuan with a confused expression, obviously not understanding the meaning of his words.
Lu Chengxuan didn't plan to say much, and after raising his hand and waving away the man in black, he sat on the edge of the bed alone and began to think about Lin Qing.
Lin Qing did not agree to marry him, which Lu Chengxuan never expected. He originally thought that there was no woman in this world who could resist his sincere and strong love, but he never thought that Lin Qing would become the outlier he expected.
This couldn't help but make Lu Chengxuan look a little impressed with Lin Qing.
In fact, Lu Chengxuan had long noticed that Lin Qing was not quite right, and he had noticed it since he left Song Wei's mansion, but he had never said it. He was extremely sure that it must have been something Song Wei said to Lin Qing that made her change her attitude, and even Cheng DΓΉ's trust in him was greatly reduced. But he couldn't think of any solution to win back Lin Qing's trust, and after thinking about it for a few days, he finally came up with a method that was not too suitable.
Concubine Shu will come to the Three Princes' Mansion today, but in fact, it was just specially arranged by Lu Chengxuan. When Lin Qing passed by the door of his house when he returned to the house, he and Concubine Shu staged a play of 'the son is willing to disobey his mother in order to marry the woman he loves', but the effect does not seem to be significant.
Lu Chengxuan was a little at a loss for a while.
β¦β¦
When Lin Qing came to Song Wei's Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Wei had already fallen asleep. Because the gatekeeper already recognized her, and had already obtained Song Wei's approval, he happily let her in.
Knowing Lin Qing's arrival, it was Zhao Mingsong who greeted her.
"Xi'er, it's so late, why are you?" Looking at Lin Qing with a tired face, Zhao Mingsong couldn't help but feel very confused.
"I ...... I don't want to live in the Three Kings Mansion anymore. β
Who expected that Zhao Mingsong, who heard this, burst into flames like a lit cannonball, "Did Lu Chengxuan's stinky boy bully you?" Big brother help you teach him a lesson! β
"No, it's not. It was Chengxuan who asked me if I would like to...... Marry him, I'...... Haven't figured it out yet. Lin Qing blushed and said hesitantly.
"What? He actually wants to marry you? He-"
"Okay, big brother, I don't want to mention this matter for the time being." Unwilling to entangle with Zhao Mingsong on this topic, Lin Qing decisively intercepted Zhao Mingsong's words.
Zhao Mingsong immediately fell silent, Lin Qing couldn't see his expression clearly in the night, so he couldn't guess his mood at the moment.
On the way to the guest room with Lin Qing, Zhao Mingsong never spoke again.
Unable to stand the atmosphere that was so quiet that people were a little panicked, Lin Qing couldn't help but provoke the topic and asked the question that he had never had time to ask Zhao Mingsong.
"Big brother, can the two murder cases in Muhe Town be investigated? Also, why did you come to Beijing? β
When Zhao Mingsong heard this, he immediately stopped and looked around, making sure that no one else was saving him, and then said: "Taizhou Governor Xu Huan and Zhang Jingde all died, these two cases seem to have no connection, but in fact, it is very likely that the same person did it!" Its purpose is to leave the edict of the emperor. β
"This ...... How can it be? Lin Qing couldn't help but be surprised, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what connection Xu Huan and Zhang Jingde's deaths had with the edict.
"You don't know, in fact, many years ago, Song Wei, Xu Huan and Zhang Jingde, these four were all friends of their father-in-law. I don't know the reason for this, but I vaguely know that Xu Huan and Zhang Jingde had seen their stepfather before he died. β
"How can such a thing happen? Who is the murderer, does the eldest brother have the answer in his heart? β
"I'm not sure about this, but after investigation, the cause of death of Xu Huan and Zhang Jingde was because of a martial art called 'frustrating tendons and broken bones'. I guess that it is very likely that Feng Chengning's family did it. Zhao Mingsong said lightly.
Zhao Mingsong's words were like a stone thrown into Lin Qing's heart lake, causing a lot of ripples in her heart. Frustrate the muscles and break the bones, this is a martial art passed down from generation to generation in the Engong family!
Lin Qing suddenly remembered that she had seen Engong when she was in Muhe Town, and at that time she guessed that Engong went to Muhe to calm down for the emperor's legacy, but she didn't expect that he was involved in two murder cases!
Ning Canglan killed people, this was not a thing worth caring about Lin Qing. But the point is that he is very likely to kill Ziyan's father, if this is the case, she really feels a little ashamed of Ziyan.
In Lin Qing's heart, she had already regarded Ning Canglan and Zhang Ziyan as her relatives, and she didn't want to see anyone hurt.
"However, I will leave this case to Kuroko for investigation for the time being. As for why I came to the capital, this matter has something to do with my father-in-law. β
"Connected to your father?" These words aroused Lin Qing's interest.
"Yes, I want to thoroughly investigate the incident seven years ago, if it is confirmed that my father-in-law was indeed wronged, even if I fight for my life, I will wash away his grievances! Give him back his innocence! Zhao Mingsong said solemnly.
Lin Qing made a decision almost without thinking, "Big brother, please let me contribute to my father, I will work with you to thoroughly investigate the events of the year and clear my father's grievances." β
"No, I don't agree." Zhao Mingsong flatly refused, "This matter is too dangerous, the slightest carelessness will cause death, I must not let you put yourself in danger!" β
Lin Qing suddenly laughed, smiling helplessly and bitterly, "Big brother, you know,"
When the dim light in the room dispelled the darkness, a man in black attached to Lu Chengxuan and said a few words.
"What? She's gone?! Before the man in black finished speaking, Lu Chengxuan roared with a blushing face.
"This is what she left in the room." The man in black said and respectfully handed a note to Lu Chengxuan.
Lu Chengxuan quickly spread out the piece of paper, but saw that there were only two small characters written on the paper - don't read it.
"Didn't I say that you should keep a good eye on her! Why did you spy on her and let her go? Let me ask you, do you know where she went after she left the palace? Lu Chengxuan was obviously furious, and every word seemed to be said through gritted teeth.
The subordinates followed her for a moment until ...... Seeing her enter Prime Minister Song Wei's mansion, he turned back and told the prince. β
Lu Chengxuan squeezed the note in his hand with increasing strength, and muttered, "Song Wei...... It's ...... him."
Why did Uncle Song fall for the poison of the Golden Jade Divine Pill? Looking at Song Wei, who had settled down due to taking the antidote, Lin Qing spoke in confusion.
"Today I am talking with my uncle in a good manner, and during this time, my uncle ...... It seemed that the same person had spoken a few words when he went out alone, and then came in. After all, it had been an hour since my uncle met the man. β
"What does that guy look like?" Lin Qing asked. (To be continued.) )
