Late at night, after Lin Xiao came to the lobby of the Yamen, it stands to reason that as a suspect, he should stand honestly, but that Jingzhao Yin Jia Guodong was very clear in his heart, and he was involved in the Korean political party and didn't want to stand in line, so he first made an exception and let Lin Xiao sit in the hall for trial, and most of the questions about the case were painless.

Lin Xiao already had a clear conscience, and he also told everything he knew under one question and one answer, and the five divisions in the lobby were interrogated late at night, which was quite a feeling of thunder and rain.

When the trial of the case was nearing the end, the criminal department Shangshu Xingrong finally made a difficulty:

"In my opinion, it was the suspect who conspired with Gu Fulian and the servant girl to murder Yelujin with poisoned wine to avenge the war between Beiqi and the Lin family border guards, and then took the opportunity to spill the wine on his body, left the scene halfway, killed the servant girl and then pretended to commit suicide. ”

As soon as he said this, Jia Guodong didn't dare to say anything, but the chief arrester of the Divine Capture Camp opened his mouth:

"Master Xing, your words are full of loopholes. ”

"What?" Xing Rong's face was still tough.

According to what Lin Xiao just said, coupled with the entry and exit list of Nancheng in recent months, where did he have the opportunity to collude with Gu Fulian in the city he only entered the day before yesterday, and by now, Gu Fulian has disappeared. ”

"Collusion in the shadows is sufficient. ”

"Then even if they secretly collude to murder Yelujin, they only need to be attacked by Gu Fulian alone, why not take such a lot of trouble, it is a big deal to start on the way back to the country. Sima Shenhou retorted and then said, "And now that the source of that bottle of poisonous blood is unknown, and there is no trace of Gu Fulian, it is really quite hasty to convict him now." ”

"Hmph. Xing Rong smiled softly, "In the matter of today's night banquet in Sweetwater Lane, all the ingredients and drinks are supervised by the Divine Capture Camp, and the poisonous blood and poisonous wine must also be inseparable from your Divine Capture Camp." ”

"The Divine Capture Camp is directly under the responsibility of the emperor, what do you mean ......"

As soon as Sima Shenhou said this, Xing Rong's face was shocked, and he hurriedly grabbed his voice: "Nonsense, Emperor Shengren, how dare you involve the emperor in it, if you want to blame it, blame your god for catching the Lang Dog on an errand, and the wine will be checked by him, if he also colludes with Lin Xiao, it is not impossible." ”

"Master Xing, you are wrong again and again, very wrong. ”

"How?"

"If Lang Dog secretly colluded, then why did he trace the bloodstain on Lin Xiao's body after the crime?"

As soon as Sima Shenhou asked this, Xing Rong couldn't answer, and then when he was about to speak, Situ Shenhou asked again: "According to the report of his subordinate Lang Dog, when inspecting the wine tonight, Zhou Baokang, the head of the inner house, also used the Queen Mother's urging as an excuse to obstruct and delay the inspection of the wine.

Xing Rong was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth, just angry: "You!"

In the lobby, Xingrong and Sima Shenhou competed against each other, and Cai Zhonglian, the Dongchang factory official on the side, never spoke, and the two argued until this point, and Qian Zhenhai, the Xichang factory, turned his conversation to Jia Guodong: "Lord Jia, let's settle the case." ”

The lobby was quiet again, and everyone looked at Jia Guodong. Jia Guodong saw that it was not easy to deal with both sides, and when he stood up, he looked embarrassed: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are in a hurry, so it is convenient to go first." ”

None of the four people on the left and right answered, this Jia Guodong covered his stomach with interest, trotted out of the lobby, came to the back hall of the mansion and joined the master, and fainted directly in the back hall, and after a while, I saw the master running out in a panic:

"A few adults, Lord Jia has been working hard for days and has fainted, or who will preside over the trial, or will the trial be retried another day?"

The four of them heard the reason for the words, but none of them responded, and left the scene directly, only Cai Zhonglian and Lin Xiao left after a few polite words, and Lin Xiao was also locked in the cell again.

At the same time, in the lobby of the Lin Mansion, Lin Dong and Zhao Mei sat on the left and right, and after receiving the order, Chen Chang, the captain of the military academy, had already entered the hall.

"Do you know about Lichun's death?" Lin Dong got straight to the point.

Chen Chang shook his head in horror: "My subordinates don't know." ”

"What about the two lost soldiers?"

Chen Chang glanced at Zhao Mei briefly before answering, and was already seen by Lin Dong, but he replied again: "The subordinates thought that the soldiers of these two prefectures had just drunk a lot of wine, and they were arranging people to find them in the past two days." ”

"No need to look for it, you can step down. Lin Dong's face was slightly angry, Lichun was dead, and most of the soldiers of these two prefectures were more than lucky.

"Yes. Chen Chang retreated in embarrassment, and just as Zhao Mei was about to open his mouth to explain something, Lin Dong had already gotten up and walked towards the outside of the lobby, and dropped a sentence before leaving: "The house still needs to be strictly managed." ”

As he spoke, before he could answer, Lin Dong walked out of the lobby, leaving Zhao Mei alone to reminisce about these words, her face depressed and lost.

Late at night, Lin Dong wandered alone in the courtyard of the lobby, still thinking in his heart, at this moment, even if Lin Xiao was involved in the murder of the prince of Beiqi and was imprisoned in the Beijing prison, he did not worry about him at all, the reason is very simple, the Lin family army guarded Yanyun Pass for a day, and he would not fall for a day, and the queen mother naturally did not dare to act rashly.

On the contrary, after Beiqi's murder in the evening, I solved one more of the five doubts on the day I received the military report. Why the Queen Mother and her party deliberately concealed the entry of the mission into Beijing for a few days, and did not follow the law to arrange the itinerary of the mission in Nancheng, it seems that it is already clear. As for this last doubt, it was the news revealed a few days before Gonggong Zheng's death, and now there is no proof of his death, so he has to believe it for the time being.

In this way, Lin Dong was shocked at first, after contacting the death of Lichun, he felt that he should ignore something, soldiers, generals, and chess players often make a careless move, and lose all the games, this game of national politics life and death chess that is more and more implicated is getting worse, and he feels a slow move for the first time, loses a step, and ignores a move.

Thinking and wandering in the courtyard, Lin Dong was just about to continue walking, but he felt that his old cold legs had been getting worse and worse recently, and his head had been full of coldness, dizziness and shortness of breath, struggling, and walking towards the wing room with difficulty, suddenly, he understood!

"Night General!" Lin Dong shouted loudly, and Night Frost Lin immediately flashed to his side: "Here, what does the general command." ”

"You immediately rush to Yanyun Pass, let General Tai reorganize the military horses, make every effort to prepare grain and grass and other military supplies, and when facing the invasion of Beiqi, only defend and not attack, and double the guard day and night to ensure that Yanyun Pass is not lost. ”

"But ......" Night Frost Lin was a little incomprehensible, "General Lin, haven't Beiqi and Nanguo already talked about an alliance?" ”

"Fake. Lin Dong had no intention of avoiding it, "This Yelujin has been a dead man since he agreed to come to the southern country, he competed with his eldest brother Yelujin for the throne, and now the Queen Mother and Yelujin have made a deal with each other and helped him assassinate Yelujin." ”

"That's ?......"

"You go!"

"Yes. Night Frost Lin turned around and was about to leave, but he saw Lin Dong's legs swinging from side to side, and he was about to faint, so he stepped forward to help him.

I saw that Lin Dong's forehead was covered with sweat, supported by the night frost forest, and he was weak when he spoke, and looked at the moon in the sky angrily: "Good chess, bad woman, good chess!"
