Chapter 222: Yuancheng confesses

After the ugly Tsuji Niang left, Lu Xiaotian happily went back to his life, just as the weaving fan and weaving feather also completed their own tasks, and the time for the three of them to return to Ling's mansion was about the same, but Ling Yi was not in the mansion, and waited for half an hour before the latter came back alone.

Ori Yu couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Why doesn't the eldest lady go out with someone with her, what if she encounters danger?" The servants were not around. "I remembered that last time Gong Yunrui sent someone to kidnap Ling Yi, although he didn't succeed in the end, he didn't necessarily have so good luck every time.

"I know, I know, next time I go out, I must bring a few more people." Ling Yi smiled comfortingly and asked about the situation on their respective sides.

"There's no problem with Hu Lao's side, that fake Tsuji Niang is vivid, if it weren't for the maid who knew that the deity was the eldest lady, she would definitely believe it." Weaving Fan said happily.

Ori Yu also echoed: "The post sent by the eldest lady to Guo Lao in the name of Tsuji Niang, Guo Lao hurriedly went out soon after accepting it, and the maid asked the fake Tsuji Niang to wait at the agreed place, although Guo Lao was also puzzled, and even asked a few more suspicious words, but the woman was clever, but there was no flaw. ”

Lu Xiaotian was most satisfied with the situation on his side, and his tone always had a tendency to rise: "The ugly girl Tsuji Niang seems to be the situation that everyone speculates the most, those two old men believe it almost in the blink of an eye, and they don't doubt it much, I guess I am afraid that at this time, I have already sent someone to inform the other two." ”

After hearing this, Ling Yi nodded slowly and said, "Counting up, there are already four Tsuji Niang in this capital, and those elders must have arrived in the Eight Sound Country at this time, and let them discuss." How to deal with those fake Tsuji Musume. ”

Weaving Fan smiled admiringly: "Let them bother with their brains, we will sit back and enjoy the success, the eldest lady's trick is really powerful." At that time, I'm afraid that even if no one knows who it really is, those people will not be believed by everyone. ”

In this way, Ling Yi's goal was achieved, it was impossible for her to tell people that the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion was the real Tsuji Niang, and it was impossible for Tsuji Niang's appearance to be revealed, so those four people. In the end, it will be determined that it is an impostor, and the real Tsuji Niang is still mysterious.

In fact. As she guessed, after Zhang and Li learned the news, they immediately returned to Bayin Country and asked their entourage to inform Hu Lao and Guo Lao. It's just these two. Why don't you send someone to inform them?

After arriving in the country of Bayin, the unexpected four people all gathered together, except for Gong Xiru, who seemed to be very busy recently, and almost no one knew what to do where.

Guo Hu, Zhang and Li thought that the other party appeared in the country of Bayin because of their own people's invitation, but as soon as they spoke, they realized that things were not as simple as they thought.

After hearing this, the other three all met Matsuji Musume. Guo Lao was very surprised, he still had Tsuji Niang's post in his hand. It says that the beautiful Tsuji Niang who is now in Luoxia Garden is not a real person, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Lao hurried to meet the real Tsuji Niang.

But in the end, I heard that other people had also seen Makoji Musume.

Zhang Li is most convinced, Zhang Lao said: "The Tsuji Niang we saw is real, she looks ugly, but she can speak politely, and the Tsuji Niang who has never seen it on weekdays, you think, if it is not for Tsuji Niang's appearance is flawed, why doesn't she dare to show her true face." That's why the woman is real. ”

Li Lao and Zhang Lao had the same idea, and nodded slightly to agree with the latter's statement.

Hu Lao disagreed: "None of us have seen Tsujiniang's true face, who can guarantee that she must be flawed in appearance?" The woman I saw was not outstanding or ugly, but she was more real, and her behavior was the same as the Tsuji Niang we had seen on weekdays, so I was sure that the real Tsuji Niang must be her. ”

Guo Lao took out the post that Ling Yi gave him, and said in a deep voice: "Then what's the matter with my post?" You look at the handwriting on this, it is indeed Tsuji's handwriting, see that my Tsujiniang is not a real person, how can someone imitate the handwriting so realistically? ”

The four of them had their own explanations, and they couldn't argue for a while.

As he spoke, Guo Lao suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Wait, why are there several people pretending to be Tsuji Niang at the same time?" If one of these four people is true, then who are the other three? ”

When he mentioned it like this, Master Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange to say, the two of us are fishing by the river, and Tsuji Niang was able to find her, how did she know our whereabouts?" ”

Hu Lao just drank the wine, his face was still a little crimson, and he also looked confused: "I was eating in Xieyue Tower, how did she know?" The four of us were in different places, and there happened to be three people who claimed to be Tsuji Musume, which was a little weird. ”

The four of them were suddenly shocked, because they found that this seemed to be a big conspiracy, and the four people who claimed to be Tsuji Niang, whether it was true or not, did not know for a while.

"Maybeβ€”none of these four people are real." Guo Lao finally said in a deep voice.

"What does Elder Guo mean by this?" Zhang Lao asked, and the other two also looked at Guo Lao with puzzled eyes.

Guo Lao pondered for a moment before he analyzed: "First of all, Tsuji Niang did not show her true face, but now Tsuji Niang, who is in Luoxia Garden, boldly proclaimed, if there is no intervention of the next three people, we are afraid that we will really believe that she is true."

If we all believe that it is the real Tsuji Musume, will the deity be in a hurry? She knew that we had misunderstood, but she didn't want to show her true face to explain, so she used such a roundabout method, which is to tell us that none of these four people are true. ”

Hu Lao was stunned and said in surprise: "What does Guo Lao mean, the three people behind this are sent by the real Tsuji Niang?" ”

Guo Lao nodded, "The old man just thinks so for the time being, as for the truth, I'm afraid I have to send someone to investigate, but the person in Luoxia Garden, most of them are fake, and they send someone to keep an eye on it, we don't know what this impostor is going to do now, so we can only respond to changes with the same." ”

Zhang Lao immediately said: "Elder Li and I already have some suspicions, and we have sent someone to keep an eye on it." ”

Guo Lao nodded with satisfaction, and instructed everyone not to show their feet, and to see what the impostor wanted.

Wei Zheng, who had been reminded by Ling Yi, gave up the idea of hastily ending the case of Bailan Temple, and instead began to investigate it thoroughly.

The cost of the circle is a monk. But now he learned that the latter had long since returned to the vulgar and had a wife and children's family, this contrast made Wei Zheng a little indigestible. Because he felt that there seemed to be an even more amazing secret behind this case.

Zeng and Huzi cried and told Wei Zheng what happened when their family of three first entered Beijing.

Knowing that Yuancheng was being used, Wei Zheng's first reaction was what the latter's use value was.

"The villain used to be a monk of Bailan Temple, but he was driven out of Bailan Temple by the master because of his greed for Hongchen.

Originally, the villain had left Bailan Temple for many years, and now he came back only by chance, but unfortunately he was plotted by gangsters on the first day he entered Beijing. When I woke up, my wife and children were not around.

The kidnapper threatened the villain and asked the villain to be his internal response in Bailan Temple, just to frame Miss Ling as a demon. They had been planning for a long time about this matter, and they had been preparing it before the renovation of the White Blue Temple, but they had been waiting for an appropriate opportunity for the villain to return to the White Blue Temple as a practitioner.

The renovation of Bailan Temple is an opportunity, and the villain is worried about his wife and children. There is no choice but to compromise. The Guanyin Temple was also built by them asking the villain to supervise the construction, and the villain has seen through a lot over the years, and he didn't intend to harm anyone, but his wife and childrenβ€”"

Yuancheng burst into tears as he spoke, and Zeng hugged him and cried, because no matter what the reason was, Yuancheng was afraid that he would not be able to escape from this crime.

"Your Excellency. We are really forced to be helpless, and we ask the adults to be extrajudicially gracious. Spare us as the masters. Although he knew that it was impossible, Zeng couldn't help but kneel down and plead.

Wei Zheng frowned, paced back and forth, and finally asked; "Do you remember what the person who drugged you looked like? What is the identity of the person who threatens you? ”

Yuan Cheng shook his head: "The villain just met with a minion, his tone is very tight, the villain can't inquire about anything, but one thing is certain, they and Miss Ling's Mansion must have a deep hatred, adults may wish to ask Miss Ling, see if she has a clear enemy, maybe you can find any clues from it." ”

"Do you need to be reminded of this?" Wei Zheng roared angrily, and after two days of interrogation without results, he remembered Ling Yi's words again, and felt that the future was dark.

If he can't solve the case smoothly this time, then Emperor Qinglong is bound to choose one of the imperial examination figures next year to replace him, so where should he go when the time comes?

The attendant couldn't help but remind: "My lord, why don't we go and ask the whole adult, maybe he can give some ideas?" ”

Wei Zheng kicked his entourage angrily, "The military department is now thinking about the case in Wu County, and there is that spare time to take care of our little thing?"

If Quanzhi is allowed to participate in the official in front of the emperor, saying that the official's ability to do things is low, then the emperor will blame him, and the official's black gauze hat can only be handed over. ”

The entourage was afraid and didn't dare to squeak, but said in his heart that if there was no help from outsiders, I am afraid that this case would be difficult to conclude.

Wei Zheng was about to go back to rest and rest first, thinking about how to solve this case, and another official sent over to report: "My lord, the monk said that he remembered an important matter to report to your lordship." ”

Wei Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly returned to ask Yuancheng what he remembered.

The villain remembered that when he met with the slave recently, he explained how the villain was going to do and how to frame Miss Ling, and at that time the villain also specially asked how to let Miss Ling go up the mountain, and the man only said that the villain would take care of it, saying that they had already planned it.

can let Miss Ling go up the mountain, the villain thinks that even if the relationship between the two is not deep, there must be someone or something that can be contacted, if the adult can ask Miss Ling why she went up the mountain that day, maybe you can find out the person behind it. ”

Wei Zheng felt that what Yuan Cheng said was very right, but he still said angrily: "This official doesn't understand this reason? This official has long thought of it, and he will do it too much. You wait, and when the official asks clearly, he will interrogate you. ”

Yuan Cheng said in a panic, and respectfully watched Wei Zheng leave.

After leaving the cell, Wei Zheng immediately asked someone to send a post to Ling's mansion, saying that he had something important to ask Ling Yi, and made an appointment with the latter to meet.

Ling Yi replied with a message of agreement, and before Wei Zheng came, she prepared tea sets for the reception, and when Wei Zheng arrived, she behaved like the host, and the reception was not displeasing at all, even if Wei Zheng could be said to be on the side of Gong Chengyan.

"I came to disturb today, in fact, I want to ask Miss Ling, why did you go up the mountain that day? But what's the special reason? ”

Ling Yi thought for a moment and said blankly: "There is no special reason, it's just that my mother wants to go up the mountain to pray for blessings that day, and as a child, I naturally want to be by my side to fulfill my filial piety." ”

"So, Madame invited the eldest lady to go up the mountain?" Wei Zheng asked.

Ling Yi nodded slowly, and there was some helplessness in her tone: "It's just that I didn't expect to succeed in accompaniment, but in the end, there was that kind of misunderstanding, and I also swept away my mother's interest, which is really unfilial." ”

Wei Zheng smiled, there seemed to be some kind of clarity in his eyes, and comforted: "It's good that the eldest lady has a heart." The official only came to ask about this matter, and since he had already learned the answer, the official went back first. When the case is concluded, let someone tell the eldest lady. ”

"So it's going to be a bother for Lord Lao." Ling Yi got up and blessed the blessing gift, and asked Zhi Yu to send Wei Zheng out. (To be continued.) )
