Lu Jing shook his head and said: "The disciple didn't hear any news, but he just felt that if Qin Keqing's identity was true, then Qin Keqing's death was too coincidental, Jia Yuanchun was concubine for a long time, Qin Keqing died of illness, and Jia Zhen behaved too much at Qin Keqing's funeral, which aroused suspicion." ”

"You mean that the Jia family is afraid that people will tell them that they are hiding a criminal girl, or that the informant is Yuan Chun, so they assassinated the Qin family."

Lin Ruhai was shocked, he thought in his heart that there was a great possibility, the Jia family secretly killed Qin Keqing in order to prevent this kind of handle from being in the hands of others, and completely broke off the connection with the past.

Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai directly ignored the second half of his sentence, but paid more attention to the first half of the sentence, and knew that Lin Ruhai didn't care whether Qin Keqing died at the hands of Jia Zhen, but was more concerned about whether Qin Keqing's death was related to Rongguo Mansion, so he shook his head and said: "The disciple is just guessing, if it is related to Concubine Xiande, it will not be enough." ”

Although Lin Ruhai's speculation was also in the past, he felt that it had little to do with Jia Yuanchun. However, Ning Rong and the two mansions belong to the same clan, the blood relationship is very close, and the political position is also the same, Jia Zhen is also the patriarch of the Jia clan, representing the attitude of the entire Jia family, Ning Rong and the two mansions are considered to share honor and disgrace, and if something happens to the Ning Mansion, the Rong Mansion will also be implicated.

Lin Ruhai didn't care about Lu Jing's words, but went to the source, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, originally he was very dissatisfied with the Jia family's choice to stand on the same side as Xungui again, and now he was even more afraid that Qin Keqing's matter would involve Rongguo Mansion.

If that's the case, he needs to reconsider his relationship with the Jia family, not to mention completely cutting it off, but also reducing the involvement.

Immediately, Lin Ruhai said a little nervously: "Huai Jin, as a teacher, I know that you have some capable people under you, can you investigate the movements of Qin Ye and his family these days?" ”

"The teacher wants to see if Qin Ye has been killed recently, so as to verify Qin Keqing's identity and the cause of his death?" Lu Jing asked.

"Not bad! If I don't find out about this, I really can't settle down in my heart! Lin Ruhai said with a solemn expression.

He and Daiyu are too deeply involved with the Jia family, especially Daiyu, even if he doesn't marry Daiyu to the Jia family, the Jia family and Daiyu are still blood relatives, if the Jia family is really involved in this matter, then he must re-plan for Daiyu.

"Teacher, don't worry, the disciple will let people pay attention to the movements of the Qin family!" Lu Jing agreed.

In fact, even if Lin Ruhai doesn't say it, he will pay attention to this matter, and he still has a general impression of the paragraph recorded in the book, Qin Zhong and Baoyu were sent to the Shuiyue Nunnery at the same time, and they had a few trysts with the nun Zhizhi'er, and they suffered from some cold.

Zhizhi'er fled into the mansion to find Qin Zhong without permission, but was unexpectedly discovered by Qin Ye, expelled Zhizhi'er, and beat Qin Zhong, Qin Ye himself was so angry that his old illness relapsed, and he went in three or five days, and Qin Zhong died in a few days.

Qin Ye and Qin Zhong died in less than half a month after Qin Keqing's burial, and the Qin family was completely cut off, which was too much of a coincidence.

A few days ago, he had been sending people to pay attention to the Qin family's father and son, just to find out if their death was just a coincidence, or if someone had poisoned them.

"Remember to be cautious and don't let anyone know we're investigating!" Lin Ruhai cautiously admonished that this matter was too involved, and if it was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Disciple remember!" Lu Jing nodded cautiously.

Qin Keqing is the illegitimate daughter of the abolished prince, and the funeral is so grand, it will inevitably attract the attention of some big people.

If the father and son of the real Qin Ye were really assassinated, I am afraid that it was not Jia Zhen who did it, or the extremely powerful people in Beijing did it.

He has not yet passed the scientific expedition, and he has no foundation in Beijing, and if it is discovered that he knows this secret, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the price.

After Lu Jing said goodbye and left from Lin Ruhai, he became more cautious about Qin Keqing's affairs, and asked Wu Ze and Chen Ji to go out in person and secretly pay attention to the news of the Qin family.

In less than half a month, Wu Ze and Chen Ji found out the truth about the murder of the Qin family's father and son one after another.

On November 14, Qin Ye was killed, and on November 19, Qin Zhong also died.

After Lu Jing got the news, he found Lin Ruhai, and after retreating, he told Lin Ruhai about the fate of Qin Ye and Qin Zhong.

"But was assassinated?" Lin Ruhai's heart fluctuated, and he asked nervously.

Lu Jing nodded with a stern expression and said, "Yes, Qin Ye and Qin Zhong, the father and son, died of the same cause, they both died of poisoning. ”

"Someone poisoned their medicine, this poison is very powerful, the disciple's subordinates once secretly checked Qin Ye's corpse, and found that the poisoned person's body was not abnormal, but it was as if he was dying of illness. If we hadn't been paying attention to this matter, I'm afraid we wouldn't have found out that their father and son were poisoned! ”

After this incident, Lu Jing was more cautious, if he hadn't experienced it himself, I'm afraid he would have been incredulous that Qin Ye's family had really been assassinated, and it was really difficult to peek into the truth of reality with just a few words in the book.

"Who is it?" Lin Ruhai asked as if he were on the edge of the abyss.

"It should be the King of Zhongshun who made a move!" Lu Jing lowered his voice and said, he was very surprised by this murderer, he didn't expect that it would be King Zhongshun who sent someone to deal with Qin Ye's father and son.

When Lin Ruhai heard the words of King Zhongshun, his expression became even more nervous, and after trying his best to calm down, he asked uneasily: "Have you ever been discovered?" ”

"Rest assured, no one noticed during the investigation, and the people investigating this matter are extremely reliable people!" Lu Jing understood what Lin Ruhai meant, but Wu Ze and Chen Ji both had a lifelong friendship with him and were extremely reliable.

Lin Ruhai nodded nervously, thinking that Lu Jing had always been cautious in his affairs, and he didn't leave any flaws in his thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Ruhai said with concern: "I am afraid that the murder of the father and son of the Qin family was from the palace. ”

Lu Jing nodded, his judgment was the same as Lin Ruhai's, the murder of the Qin family's father and son was undoubtedly from the instructions of Emperor Yuan Yong, so that Jia Zhen's assassination of Qin Keqing could also be confirmed.

Jia Zhen's behavior at Qin Keqing's funeral added more evidence to the rumors that the Jia family was already unbearable, and at the same time, Emperor Yuanyong had to take action against the Qin family's father and son to help Jia Zhen cover up his ugliness, otherwise if people knew that Qin Keqing had royal blood, it would undoubtedly disgrace the entire royal family and hinder Emperor Yuanyong's reputation.

"Do you know the rumors of Ning Guofu?" Lin Ruhai asked suddenly.

"The disciple has heard a little, I heard that Jia Zhen has always coveted the Qin family, and there are even rumors that the two of them have deviant behavior!" Lu Jing said vaguely, but he had a negative view on this matter, even if the two really had any improper relationship, it was very likely that Jia Zhen coerced Qin Keqing, and Qin Keqing may have committed suicide because of this.

"This matter is fallaous, the Qin family is the grandmother of Ningfu, and there are a lot of maids and wives around her, how can the two of them succeed, I'm afraid this is not true."

"However, Jia Zhen's coveting of Qin Keqing may not be true, such rumors have spread in the Jia family, I am afraid that the entire Ning Mansion will be implicated in the future."

Lu Jing understood what Lin Ruhai meant, no matter how Qin Keqing died, since Emperor Yuanyong had already made a move, he believed that the Jia family forced Qin Keqing to death.

However, he also knew that Lin Ruhai was worried that Ning Mansion was fake, and that it was true that Rong Guofu was implicated.

"What is the teacher going to do?"

"Although I have no relationship with Ning Guofu, after all, Ning Rong and Ning Rong belong to the same clan, and they are too deeply involved." Lin Ruhai sighed.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ruhai said with difficulty: "For some reason, I always feel that Qin Keqing's death is inseparable from the Rong Mansion. ”

Anyway, Qin Keqing is always the blood of the royal family, how can he be assassinated by his subordinates, not to mention that after Qin Keqing's death, he was also tarnished by Jia Zhen's reputation, and now Ning Rong's second mansion is completely hopeless.

"For today's plan, the only way to be a teacher is to slowly break off the involvement with the Jia family!" Lin Ruhai finally made up his mind.

Lu Jing nodded, Lin Ruhai was not confused this time, it was not in vain that he took such a big risk to investigate Qin Keqing's matter.

And in his opinion, some people in the Jia family are not worth saving, so Lu Jing said: "When the disciple was tracking down Qin Keqing's matter, he also found one thing. ”

Lin Ruhai's heart tightened, he was now extremely allergic to what Lu Jing had found, and he was afraid that Lu Jing would find out something bad again, so he asked extremely nervously, "What's the matter?" ”

"It is Wang Xifeng, the second grandmother of the Jia family, who received 3,000 taels of silver from the old nun of Jingxu in Tieji Temple during the funeral of Qin Keqing, and broke up a marriage between the son of the Chang'an garrison family and Zhang Jinge, the daughter of the Chang'an Zhang family, which caused both the garrison son and Zhang Jinge to be martyred."

Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai was a little bit of a bow and a snake, and hurriedly told Lin Ruhai the cause and effect of this matter.

However, just this one thing made him have no good impression of Wang Xifeng, and he would rather demolish ten temples than break a marriage.

Wang Xifeng did something to break up the marriage for a mere 3,000 taels of silver, which was really unacceptable to him.

And Wang Xifeng is not short of these three thousand taels of silver, her purpose in doing this is just because she is greedy for money, to show her power and means in front of others.

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Ruhai asked in shock, breaking up the marriage is a big evil, and it is even more hateful than killing people directly, he didn't expect Jia Lian's daughter-in-law to do such a vicious thing for only a few thousand taels of silver.

"It's true, the person sent by the disciple to Chang'an has sent back the news, and now the two families are mourning for the two." Lu Jing had the intention to save the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, but the two did not want to elope, but chose to die for both.

Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment, then asked Lu Jing to go back first, and suddenly learned of these news, which made his heart extremely agitated, and he couldn't completely calm down, he planned to plan well and broke off the involvement with the Jia family.
