Qin Yu followed the clues found by Song Ning and tracked them down until the middle of the night, but in the end he still found nothing, and Qin Yu's mood was inevitably worse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past two days, he has sent people out of Beijing to search in all directions, but no news has come out.

Qin Yu knew that his aimless search was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the possibility of finding Gu Qingwan was very small at all, but so far, he had not found any useful clues, and he hadn't even figured out who the person who helped Gu Qingwan escape.

This made Qin Yu really depressed, and he was unprecedentedly frustrated and irritable. He had thought about it carefully over and over again, and had personally interrogated the other maids of the Snow Scene Courtyard, but he felt that Gu Qingwan had no chance to contact outsiders at all, how did she contact outsiders under his nose, and who was contacting her, Qin Yu was puzzled.

In the end, he could only focus on the most likely Great Power Temple, and he felt that if Gu Qing had a chance in the evening, he could only take advantage of the time he went to the Great Power Temple to contact people.

Because in addition to the Great Power Temple, Gu Qingwan is mostly in the palace's inner house, or there are always palace maids around him, the palace is impregnable, and Gu Qingwan has no chance at all.

Qin Yu has already asked people to strictly investigate, every time Gu Qingwan goes to the Great Power Temple, there are noteworthy people in the Great Power Temple.

However, after all this time, these things are not easy to investigate.

The matter of finding someone became slow and made no progress, Qin Yu returned again, and when he returned to Hanmo Academy, his face was extremely pale, and he did not rest, and went to the practice room with a long sword.

He has a fire in his heart, so he naturally wants to find an outlet.

Early the next morning, Qin Yu had the captured assassin dragged back to Beijing into the palace.

In the early days, the Qin Emperor sued Zhou Dingxing and Wu Guogong for private revenge, and sent hidden guards to set up an ambush and assassinate him on the way back to Beijing, and asked Emperor Qin Ying to strictly investigate the matter and severely punish Wu Guogong and Zhou Dingxing.

Emperor Qin Ying sent the captive assassin to the court, and the assassin testified against Wu Guogong in court, but Wu Guogong shouted injustice, and the assassin could not come up with more evidence.

After a stalemate, Emperor Qin Ying finally ordered the Criminal Department to investigate the matter thoroughly, and ordered the Praetorian Guards to drag the Assassin down and imprison him in the Criminal Department prison.

The assassin Xu was afraid that he would be dragged out because he knew that there was no luck and no more life, but he suddenly exploded emotionally, and he struggled hard and threw himself in the direction of Wu Guogong, shouting, "Grandpa Guo, help!" His subordinates have made great contributions in the past! ”

He looked crazy, and the Praetorian Guards were unprepared for a while, and he struggled to go.

Wu Guogong saw him pounce, but instinctively raised his foot and kicked the assassin's body, and the assassin fell hard, apparently overwhelmed by the torture, and immediately spat blood from his mouth.

"What a crime to disturb the Holy Driver!"

"Escort!"

"Quick, drag it out!"

Only then did everyone react, and the court was slightly chaotic, and the Praetorian Guard stepped forward again, took control of the assassin, and dragged him out.

The assassin struggled but revealed three moles on his right chest, one red and two black, and there was some chaos in the hall, no one noticed that Zhou Dingwen, the right attendant of the ministry, had a great change in his complexion, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the three moles, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Soon, the assassin was dragged down, but Zhou Dingwen's expression was a little dazed, but everyone was still disturbed by Fang Cai's scene, and no one noticed his strange appearance.

"Your Majesty, what is a dead soldier? He would rather lose his life than betray his master. Since King Yan Guang kept saying that the assassin was a dead soldier of my Wu State Mansion, why not only did he listen to King Yan Guang's orders and go to the palace to testify as a minister, but before being dragged away, he also shouted for Weichen to save his life? The ingredients of this drama are also too big, King Yan Guang didn't know where to get such a person, slandered Wei Chen, and asked the emperor to know it! ”

Wu Guocheng looked excited and asked to play.

Zhou Dingxing also stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, what Wu Guogong said is reasonable, the assassin also testified against Wu Guogong before, and begged Wu Guogong for mercy in a blink of an eye, how ridiculous?" King Yan Guang has no evidence, and it is really difficult to convince the public that he wants to slander the prince of the court just by relying on this person of unknown origin. ”

Qin Yu sneered when he heard this, and said, "Who said that the mouth of a dead soldier must not be able to pry it open?" As long as the heat is up, there is no mouth that cannot be pried! The dead man has broken through the defense line, and has the idea of survival, pointing out that Wu Guogong is in order to redeem his merits and seek life, only to see that there is no hope, and at the last moment, he turned to the original master for help, isn't it an instinctive reaction? Does it better show that Wu Guogong is difficult to get rid of suspicion? ”

"What King Yan Guang said makes sense." Someone chimed in.

Wu Guo's face was red and red, and he still had to argue, and Emperor Qin Ying stood up with a slap of the dragon case, and said: "Okay, wait for the results of the investigation by the Criminal Department, this matter will be discussed later, and the court will be withdrawn." ”

Emperor Qin Ying threw his sleeves away, and the courtiers, either sincerely or pretendedly, stepped forward to care about Qin Yu.

At that time, Zhou Dingxing and Wu Guogong naturally did not come forward, the two of them walked out with angry eyes, out of the main hall, Zhou Dingxing saw Zhou Dingwen's heavy footsteps in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking. ”

Zhou Dingwen is Zhou Dingxing's fellow brother, the two parents have passed away, and they should have separated a long time ago, but because Zhou Dingwen had no heirs, Zhou Dingxing passed his third son to Zhou Dingwen.

Because of this, the relationship between the two families is close, and although their parents have passed away for many years, they have never separated.

Zhou Dingwen raised his eyes and saw his eldest brother's gentle and caring appearance, but a chill ran in his heart, and he suddenly looked at Wu Guogong and said, "Grandpa Guo, is that assassin just now really a dead soldier of Guogong Mansion?" ”

Zhou Dingxing and Wu Guogong obviously didn't expect him to say this, Zhou Dingxing's expression suddenly tightened, his face was full of anger, and said, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Wu Guogong was also stunned, so he also said angrily: "Second master, what's wrong? How can you ask that! This is clearly the slander of King Yan Guang! ”

Zhou Dingwen saw that the two of them were wrinkling their eyebrows and glaring at him angrily, there was a clear light flashing in their eyes, and he was clever in his heart, and his face showed a look of relief, and said, "It's okay, I'm just too worried." Since it is not, it is expected that the Nali Prince's Mansion will not be able to come up with any conclusive evidence. ”

Zhou Dingxing and the others didn't think much about it when they heard him say this, and the three of them chatted and went to the palace gate.

In the next two days, Zhou Dingwen has been worried, and this day and night, his wife Cui Shi asked him and said: "The master always seems to be uncertain these days, but the affairs in the court are too busy?" ”

Zhou Dingwen was silent for a moment, but said, "Madam, do you remember where the birthmark on our brother Qiang'er was born?" ”

Cui Shi's expression suddenly froze, his lips trembled, and he said, "Master, you say...... Who are you talking about? ”

Zhou Dingwen and Cui's actually had a son in the past, but the child was lost at the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival one year and has never been found since.

That is Zhou Dingwen's only son and the most precious son-in-law. Later, he took in several young concubines who seemed to be easy to raise, but they were all daughters, and finally when they reached middle age, even their daughters were difficult to conceive, so they had to succeed the son of his eldest brother Zhou Dingxing.

It had been more than twenty years since his child had gone missing, and for all these years, they had never mentioned the child's name, lest they be sad.

Zhou Dingwen suddenly mentioned it today, and Cui's whole person froze.

Zhou Dingwen patted Cui's hand soothingly, and Cui's tears fell, and said, "Our brother Qiang has three moles on his right chest, one red and two black!" ”

Zhou Dingwen's pupils shrank and said, "Madame didn't remember wrong, right?" ”

Cui Shi cried: "That's my child, how can I remember the meat that fell from my body!" ”

Zhou Dingwen actually remembered it clearly, and when he heard Cui's words, his expression became even more trance-like. Cui Shi sensed that something was wrong, shook Zhou Dingwen and kept asking, "Master, why did you mention Brother Qiang, why did you suddenly ask this, is it our Brother Qiang...... Isn't he ......?"

Cui Shi said that his whole body trembled, and his heart was both expectant and afraid.

Zhou Dingwen suddenly stood up and said, "Don't think about it, the master just asked casually." Okay, I remember that there is still some official business outside, you go to sleep first, and you will deal with it. ”

With that, he strode out of the house, but Cui's suppressed cries of pain sounded behind him.

Zhou Dingwen got out of Cui's courtyard, strode out of Zhou's mansion, and went straight to the prison of the Criminal Department after getting on the horse.

There are tens of millions of people in the world, but the mole on his son's body is peculiar, on the right chest, three, one red and two black, he doesn't believe that such a peculiar birthmark will be exactly the same!

Thinking of the assassin's appearance, Zhou Dingwen felt more and more that he was about the same age, and even felt that the assassin's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to his own.

He hurried the horse faster and drove him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, where he asked the jailer to be accommodating and let him in to see the assassin.

The Qin Emperor sued Wu Guogong, and no one in the capital knew that because Wu Guogong's only daughter married into the Zhou family, Wu Guogong's Mansion and Zhou's Mansion were not at all

A. Now that Zhou Dingwen, as the defendant, wants to go in to see important witnesses, the jailer is naturally afraid of something and refuses to live or die.

was still negotiating, but suddenly there was a commotion in the prison, and a jailer could be heard shouting.

"Oh no, the one I just sent today tore his prison clothes and twisted them into a rope, hung them on the cell door and hanged himself!"

"What can I do, come on!"

There was a mess inside, and the jailer who negotiated with Zhou Dingwen was shocked, and he didn't care about Zhou Dingwen and hurriedly ran to the prison.

Zhou Dingwen's body shook suddenly, and then he reacted, with a white face, and ran inside.

Xu is the jailers were too flustered, no one noticed Zhou Dingwen who took advantage of the chaos to follow up, Zhou Dingwen followed to a cell, and sure enough, he saw that the prisoner had been put down from the cell door by the jailers, and a jailer was beating him.

"No, it's dead!"

The voice came out, but Zhou Dingwen stared at the dead body lying on the ground, he really tore the prisoner's clothes and twisted them into a rope to hang, so he was naked, and on his stiff chest, three moles pierced Zhou Dingwen's eyes.

Zhou Dingwen trembled, and the jailer who had just negotiated with him came out of the cell, and when he saw Zhou Dingwen, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Dingwen out quickly, and said in a low voice: "I said Lord Zhou, you are crazy, that person hanged himself, as a member of the Zhou family, you are still rushing in at this time, do you want to kill yourself, or kill me!" Let's go, get out of here! ”

Now that the prisoners themselves have hanged themselves, they will inevitably have to be held responsible, if they let people know that the Zhou family is also there, then Prince Li's Mansion and King Yan Guang are not easy to provoke, and they must not think that they are the jailers who have made it convenient for the Zhou family to kill the witness? Then they will be finished.

Zhou Dingwen was kicked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, confused, and walked back unwillingly. Who knew that when he arrived at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, he saw a carriage from the other direction also arrived in front of the gate.

There was no logo on the carriage, and there were no lights, so it always felt sneaky to act so late.

Zhou Dingwen was able to hide, and then he found that it was not someone else in the carriage, it was the dead Zhou Rui's father, his eldest nephew Zhou Jiangyan.

Thinking of Zhou Rui's death, Zhou Dingwen did not suspect that Zhou Dingxing and the Wu Guogong would go to avenge Zhou Rui, and the assassin was sent by Wu Guogong to assassinate Qin Yu.

Now that something went wrong, Zhou Dingxing naturally wanted to hurry up and deal with the aftermath, and then thought of Zhou Jiangyan's sneaky outing so late, just after the assassin died in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Zhou Dingwen was chilled, he thought, Zhou Jiangyan must have been ordered by Zhou Dingxing to dredge the prison of the Criminal Department, the child begged Wu Guogong to save his life when he was out of the main hall, the child still had such a great desire to survive at that time, how could he hang himself as soon as he was imprisoned?

So, it was his good big brother and good nephew, and they didn't hesitate to kill the child.

And that child, he may well be his son, his only eldest son!

If that is really his strong brother, then the question is, his son was obviously lost on the Shangyuan Festival twenty-two years ago, and after so many years, he can't be found everywhere, why did he become a dead soldier in the Duke of Wu's mansion?

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Zhou Dingwen hid in the dark not far from the door of the Zhou Mansion in a trance, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

His mind was confused, but he never noticed that not far from him, there was also a line of sight staring at him, that line of sight saw Zhou Dingwen's stiff figure clearly, hooked his lips and smiled, turned around and left quickly.

Half an hour later, in Honglu Temple, a man in black knelt down on one knee and reported the matter of the prison of the Criminal Department, and said, "Everything is going smoothly according to the master's orders." Zhou Dingwen should have been suspicious of Zhou Ding at this moment. ”

Gu Xianzhen didn't raise his head when he heard this, he wrote a pair of words in his hand, and then said, "I know, step down." ”

The man in black stepped back, and Zhu Gong, who was standing beside Gu Xianzhen and had his face retouched, said fairly: "But do you want the old slave to arrange the second step now?" ”

Gu Xianzhen blew the ink lightly, but said, "Don't worry, let Zhou Dingwen think about it for a few days first." If it's too rushed, it's less fun. The Zhou family, with the other way, return the other body, I take care of the family, I always want the Zhou family to taste everything slowly! ”

His voice was light and light, as if he was just talking about the flowers in front of the steps, but Gonggong Zhu heard a killing intent and imperative from it.

Zhou Dingxing framed the Gu family through a Liu Minsheng, and now Gu Xianzhen is going to split the Zhou family, making Zhou Dingwen the sharpest knife in his hand, and stabbing into the Zhou family's henchmen. also let Zhou Dingxing taste the taste of being betrayed by his relatives!

Those assassins ambushed and assassinated Qin Yu on Qin Yu's way back to Beijing, although on the one hand, Gu Xianzhen had a grudge against Qin Yu, the most important thing was to send the assassin who had been prepared long ago to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu forced and bullied him like that, Gu Xianzhen's sister, and now that she is being used, Gu Xianzhen will not feel pressured at all.

What's more, the collapse of the Gu family is also somewhat related to Prince Li's Mansion. If the authority of Prince Li's Mansion was too heavy, causing Emperor Qin Ying to be too jealous, Zhou Dingxing slandered the Gu family and Prince Li's Mansion in private, and Emperor Qin Ying would not have believed it so easily.

Gu Xianzhen is an understanding person, and naturally knows that even if he doesn't talk about the prince's mansion, Zhou Dingxing wants to deal with the Gu family, there will always be other reasons, the fall of the Gu family is not to blame the prince's mansion, but in the end there is a pimple in his heart.

Thinking of Prince Li's Mansion, he inevitably thought of his sister Gu Qingwan again, and then thought of Zhuang Yuexian's words to persuade him, asking him not to make the relationship with Prince Li's Mansion too stiff.

Gu Xianzhen dropped his pen and rubbed his eyebrows.
