Chapter 408: Suspicion
Xin Muyuan burst into tears and laughed, dodging the man's hand that wanted to wipe her tears, and said: "No one bullies me, look at this imperial capital, how many can bully me?" The backer behind me is you, whoever dares to bully me, I will double the bullying back! ”
"Haha!" Xiao Changting's hand stiffened slightly, retracted it, laughed twice, and said, "I haven't seen you for six days, I'll go with you." ”
"This, this, this...... No, no, no! Xin Muyuan was startled and hurriedly refused.
Xiao Changting squinted at the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital, and said, "I haven't been back to the city for nearly half a month, and I miss my imperial capital in my heart." Now that you're back, take a good look. ”
"Okay." Xin Muyuan accompanied Xiao Changting at the back of the place.
"During this time, how is the imperial capital?" Xiao Changting's afterglow swept towards Xin Muyuan.
Xin Muyuan shook his head and said, "It's not very peaceful, but Your Majesty can rest assured that the rumors and the breakthrough of the outbreak of Fire Thunder Mountain have all been resolved." The mechanism of the 782nd step of the Spring God Temple has been cracked by Zheng Kai, a member of the Ministry of Works, and the mechanism below has also been taken out, and the steps have been repaired. However, Lord Protector is worried that there will be problems if the steps of the Spring God Temple are moved three times, so it is recommended that you cancel the trip to worship the Spring God when you return. ”
Xiao Changting let out a "hmm", his eyes flowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"I've heard from the guards of the Spring Temple about this matter, what is the follow-up situation?"
"We traced down one of the descendants of the workers who built the Spring Temple back then, and one of them named Lin Gong was broken, Zheng Kai destroyed the secret room mechanism, and saw a large amount of money from it, which has been handed over to Zuo Qingyun, the sixth product of the Shen Criminal Division, for inventory."
There was suddenly nothing to say between the two.
From Dongcheng to the palace, you need to pass by Liying Shengxiang, and when she walked here, Xin Muyuan suddenly took two quick steps to block Xiao Changting's sight, but she was still discovered.
"This is ......" Xiao Changting retracted his hand into his sleeve and pushed Xin Muyuan away with his arm.
"Ah, these ah...... Xin Muyuan scratched his head, "it's the cloth before." But that's okay, I've found the clues. Shui Yiyi naturally they will not frame me, there is no problem with the things they gave, so I followed the clues and checked little by little, dealt with a post official surnamed Nan at the North Post Station, and chased a person named Niu Er. ”
"Hasn't the problem been solved?" Xiao Changting's eyes were worried, "Do you need to make a move?" ”
"Ah......" Xin Muyuan looked at the messy beauty and said, "No need, Niu Er is a farmer in Changshi, the right county, his family is poor, and his relationship network should be innocent." I've already asked Mu Mingyuan to investigate, and I'll almost be able to get the relevant information today. ”
"Okay, you look at it, you need to speak." After a pause, he said, "I'm back, you don't have to carry it yourself." ”
These words were like a soft sword piercing Xin Muyuan's chest, stirring her heart into a mess, and a little warmth seeped out from the bottom of her heart.
Xin Muyuan sniffled, feeling that Xie Zhan was really annoying. Before he entangled himself, he was clearly a decisive and less emotional person.
How did she become so hypocritical after knowing him, and nothing had happened, she already felt wronged and sad, and even after Xiao Changting said that, she felt a sense of dependence.
Treating Xiao Changting as his mother's home, isn't this nothing to do and cause trouble for himself?
Xin Muyuan scratched his sour nose, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, can you still stop me with this little thing?" ”
Xiao Changting didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Just look at it." ”
The emperor did not make a sedan chair, and the news of coming back with Xin Muyuan spread quickly, that is, Xiao Changting did not notify the others of his return, and the ministers who greeted him also hurried over.
Craftsman Li stood behind Lord Chu, and when he saw Xin Muyuan, his expression was slightly complicated.
The people hid and secretly watched to see if the emperor, who had only heard from other people's mouths, had three heads and six arms longer than others, and their hearts were pounding with excitement.
When you go back, you can tell others that you have seen the emperor, and the emperor is the same as them, with a head and two legs, a pair of arms and two eyes.
Seeing that someone else was coming, the pampering and softness on Xiao Changting's face faded. Go, with a detached temperament and indifferent eyes, asked: "I heard Mu Yuan say, you have found out who is the person who did the tricks on the steps of the Spring God Temple, how is the investigation?" Did you ask for results? ”
Lord Chu glanced at Xin Muyuan, and saw that she had no intention of leaving, but looked at him expectantly, so he said: "Lin Gong was already dead at home when he was found, and his property was counted by Zuo Qingyun, totaling one thousand and ninety-two taels, of which about two hundred taels of jewelry have been handed over to the household department to be filled into the treasury. ”
Xiao Changting's steps paused, and he looked at Lord Chu's expressionless face in shock: "What is the background of this forest worker?" ”
Lord Chu lowered his eyes and said, "As soon as you enter the small mansion." ”
As soon as you enter the small house, you can search for 1,000 taels of silver. Is this person a thief of the treasury?
Lord Chu saw why the emperor was shocked, and continued: "The minister has investigated, and the inheritance of the ancestors is five hundred taels, and the rest of the gold and silver treasures are rewarded. ”
The corners of Xiao Changting's eyes twitched fiercely: "The three hundred taels of real gold and silver and the two hundred taels of jewelry are all rewarded?" ”
The shot is five hundred taels, just for the moment in the Temple of Spring? It's better to spend money on assassins, only twenty or thirty taels each.
The ruthless person on the killer list was only worth twenty taels, and he only received fifty taels at the highest time, who made such a generous shot?
Lord Chu bowed his head, took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiao Changting, and said, "The minister initially suspects that it is Master Xin who is secretly doing it. This is a jade pendant found in the forester's secret room. ”
After Xin Muyuan saw it, her pupils widened suddenly, and she hurriedly touched her jade pendant, and then she remembered that after Tianling Mountain that day, she had never seen her jade pendant again.
Later, he deliberately asked Onizawa to pretend to collect medicine to look for it, but for three whole days, nothing was found.
Xiao Changting touched the smooth jade pendant and looked at Xin Muyuan: "This jade pendant is indeed Xin Ye's personal thing, how did you get to the secret room of the forest worker?" ”
Xin Muyuan scratched his head and swallowed the saliva secreted from nervousness.
Lord Chu didn't seem to see the strange interaction between the two people, and continued: "Chen Jue, it was Master Xin who took this jade pendant to trade with Lin Gong. Later, the matter was revealed, and Xin Ye was worried that he would be involved, so he hurriedly killed the forest worker and escaped. ”
Jiang Li panicked in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is another hidden truth in this. If it was really Xin Ye's doing, why did he take out this personal thing as a token? ”
Lord Chu looked at him and said unhappily: "Naturally, it is to persuade the forest workers." Who in the Great Liang Dynasty didn't know that when His Majesty ascended the throne, Xin Ye and Shizi, as His Majesty's right-hand men, were endowed with extremely high rights to show that His Majesty in the world is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Lin Gong is just a descendant of a craftsman, how dare he refuse when he sees Xin Ye's personal belongings at first glance? ”
