After Ling Ruo and Yun Xiang read the excerpts respectively, they both understood the meaning of Yinzhen's words, the secret agents sent by Yinzhen took a closer look at the cemetery, and finally found a large pit where many people were buried in another place, and after counting, it was found that there were 1,089 corpses, because the corpses had decomposed, and they could not be identified, but according to their respective clothing, it could be seen that they should be ordinary people. If it were people who died of famine, they would not bury so many people at once. Therefore, there is only one possibility, they are the people of Lianjiang County who survived but disappeared.

Someone killed them, buried them here, and then deliberately disguised themselves as them, lured the two Hongli brothers here, and attacked them.

However, the secret compromise pointed out that the clues were all broken here, and no matter how careful they were, it was difficult to find a single useful clue.

Yun Xiang muttered: "This matter has been very carefully arranged from the beginning, and it is definitely not simple to be able to arrange this game, and to be ruthless to such a point." However, the younger brother is now more curious, when did this person start to set up the bureau. ”

"Ruthless...... "Ruthless" Ling Ruo muttered after repeating these four words, and suddenly said: "The concubine heard from the emperor that the reason why there was such a big famine in Fuzhou was because two batches of grain ships sank in the nearby seas, right?" ”

After Yin Zhen nodded, she walked a few steps and said: "Since the arranger is ruthless and can kill a thousand or hundreds of people at any time, it shouldn't be impossible for him to sink the grain ship and cause a large-scale famine in Fuzhou." ”

Yunxiang and Yinzhen glanced at each other, with a deep sense of surprise on their faces, the two of them knew best in their hearts that the reason why Yinzhen sent Hongli and them to Fuzhou was because he suspected that the sinking of the grain ship was deliberately done by someone, so he used the two of them as bait to lure the people behind the scenes to reveal their true colors, but what happened later made Yinzhen regret it for life. Unexpectedly, Ling Ruo's thoughts coincided with them.

After suppressing the surprise, Yun Xiang said: "Little sister-in-law thinks that someone has been laying out since the famine in Fuzhou? ”

"Yes, this idea is a bit bizarre, but the sinking of two grain ships in quick succession is a doubtful thing in itself." Speaking of this, she looked at Yinzhen and said: "I don't know what the Emperor of Lu Dao did not suspect about this, so he went to Fuzhou by Hongli." ”

"Actually......" Yun Xiang hesitated and didn't continue, because he thought that the latter words might make Ling Ruo misunderstand Yinzhen even more, and this was obviously not what he wanted to see.

Just as Ling Ruo wondered why he didn't say anything, Yin Zhen suddenly said, "Old Thirteen, tell me everything you know, and you don't have to hide it for me." ”

Seeing him say this, Yun Xiangfang continued: "Actually, the emperor was already suspicious at that time, but many ministers tried their best to recommend the crown prince, and the emperor wanted to lead to the real culprit who caused this man-made disaster, so he pretended to be a trick and let the prince and the second elder brother serve as the Qin mission. Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, he hurriedly said: "But the younger brother can guarantee that the emperor was really well prepared at that time, in addition to the 1,000 soldiers, he also transferred 4,000 soldiers from the Fengtai camp plus secret agents to protect the prince in secret." If it weren't for the other party's cunning to break the bridge, the prince would not be in danger at all.

Ling Ruo didn't hear what Yun Xiang was saying at all, she just kept repeating the previous words in her mind, and the hatred that had originally faded became blazing again because of these words, and her whole body continued to tremble lightly, "You knew that Lu Dao might be dangerous, and you still let Hongli go to Fuzhou and use him as bait?" ”

"Yes." Yin Zhen sighed and said: "This matter, I could have allowed Yunxiang to hide it from you, so that you would always be kept in the dark, but I don't want to, I don't want to hide anything from you anymore." So from this moment on, whether it is good or bad, I will tell you the truth. ”

Ling Ruo looked at him in a daze, and said bitterly in the tears that suddenly fell: "I always thought that you didn't mean to send Hongli to death, but now it seems that I am too naïve, from the beginning, you were intentional, and you were intent on killing Hongli!" Speaking of the back, she couldn't hold back her voice, sharp like a steel needle, poking at Yinzhen and Yunxiang's ears fiercely.

"That person treats the entire Fuzhou Mansion and thousands of Fuzhou people as pawns, how can I ignore them; If he is not caught, there will definitely be more innocent people who will be victimized, I ......" Before Yinzhen finished speaking, a sharper voice than just now had already appeared from Ling Ruo's mouth, "So you can sacrifice Hongli and hope for my only son?" ”

Her words made Yinzhen's eyes reveal deep sadness, "I thought I could control everything and let Hongli and their brothers return safely, but it turned out that it wasn't, I overestimated myself and underestimated each other, so that the two of them were killed and injured, Ruo'er ......"

"Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore!" Ling Ruo covered his ears hard, and cried loudly in the splashing tears: "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it anymore!" ”

With these words, Ling Ruo stumbled out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yun Xiang wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Yin Zhen, "Let her go, at this time, she can't listen to what you say." ”

Yun Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no need to let the little sister-in-law know about that matter. ”

"I know what I said, but as I just said, I don't want to hide anything from her anymore."

Yun Xiang said worriedly: "But this will make the misunderstanding between the emperor and the little sister-in-law deeper and deeper, and it will even be impossible to resolve." ”

"If you want to solve this misunderstanding, the best way is to catch the murderer who killed Hongli!" After gritting his teeth and saying this, Yin Zhen said: "Now that the clues on the Fuzhou side are almost broken, what can you do to continue to investigate." ”

Yun Xiang pondered for a long time and said: "Since the clues on the Fuzhou side are broken, the emperor might as well try to track it down from another angle." Without waiting for Yinzhen to ask, he explained: "Most of the reason why the crown prince was appointed was because of the recommendation of the ministers. If Fuzhou is really a man-made disaster, and the purpose is to lure the prince to Fuzhou, then the recommendation of the ministers must have been instructed by others. ”

Yun Xiang's words were like peeling off the cocoon, peeling off the shell of the camouflage, leaving only the really key things, "The younger brother believes that as long as you investigate them carefully, you will definitely find out the connection between them, so as to find out what the emperor wants to know." ”

Yin Zhen didn't say anything, just took a large stack of files from the imperial case and handed them to Yun Xiang, "These are all the ministers who have recommended Hongli in Shangjuan, I have read them all, and I have not found any connection between them." ”
