Chapter 237 Investigation 2
"I know, before Jiang Gong left last year, he still feasted his neighbors and friends in the house, and the old man was also invited." Meng Gong replied truthfully.
Xiling Yue remembered it in her heart, and asked again: "A few days ago, people came and went in this house, can you see it?" ”
Meng Gong tried to think back for a moment: "It seems that I have seen a few familiar servants, but the mansion of the Jiang Mansion was given by Dezong, and it is normal for Jiang Gong to leave a few servants to take care of it." ”
Xi Lingyue was a little deflated when she heard this: "Okay, that's true. ”
She was about to ask a few more, but Meng Gong seemed to think of something again, and patted his head: "Oh, yes, yes! The old man remembered one thing! One night in May this year, several carriages suddenly stopped in front of Chiang's mansion and hurriedly moved things to this mansion. The old man was out socializing that day, and he came home late drunk, so he happened to see this scene and stepped forward to inquire about it. ”
"What's going on, you ask?" Xiling Yue immediately came to the spirit. "This ...... That ......"
Meng Gong recalled with difficulty, his facial features were screwed together, but he didn't think of anything, "Alas! It's all because he drank too much that night, and he can't remember what the old man asked and who he asked. ”
"Then you didn't visit again?" Xiling Yue asked again.
Meng Gong was a little unhappy: "If Jiang Gong's family comes back, he will naturally take the initiative to come to the door to inform." Since no one told him, it was his family's servants who were buying things, and the old man, a five-grade official, how could he go to a few servants to ask questions, it was not a big matter. ”
That's right, too. Xilingyue scratched her head and saluted to Meng Gong: "Thank you for your advice." ”
Only then did Meng Gong ease his face and said with a smile: "The lady is polite, you are the person next to Li Fujiao, and the old man naturally knows everything." ”
Xi Lingyue thanked him again, and then said goodbye to him, planning to find a few more families to find out the situation. However, she asked all the neighbors of the Jiang Mansion, and the answers she got were all similar to those of Meng Gong, all of whom said that the Jiang Mansion had held a banquet before moving to Ziqing, and although there were people in and out of the mansion in May this year, the Jiang couple did not show up to tell them, and everyone thought that it was the servants of his family who were sprinkling and sweeping every day, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
They have no reason to deceive Xilingyue, after all, the street where Jiang's mansion is located is a family of eunuchs, and they like to take care of the shelves the most on weekdays, and they are the most strict in etiquette, and it is normal not to inquire about the private affairs of other people's families.
However, one thing is certain, one night in May this year, a large number of people quietly arrived at Chiang's mansion. This also seems to confirm that someone is pretending to be the Jiang couple, otherwise why did they return home at night?
This is also an important clue, and Xilingyue decided to go back home and think about it again. The coachman also had a good eye, and when he saw that she had finished inquiring, he hurriedly drove the carriage in front of her, so as to save her the hard work of walking.
Xilingyue glanced at the coachman approvingly, then stepped on the wheel, bent down and walked into the carriage, she was about to sit down, and when she looked up, she found that there was one more person in the carriage - Fuwang Li Chengxuan!
The man sat in her place and beckoned to her with a smile: "Come here." ”
Xilingyue couldn't help but exclaim, turned her head to look at the coachman, and saw that the other party had lowered the curtain as if nothing had happened. She knew that the man had been bought, so she reluctantly sat down.
Before she could sit down, the carriage had already started, so that she couldn't help but stumble forward, and was helped by Li Chengxuan and dragged her to her side.
The already cramped carriage immediately looked cramped. Xiling Yue moved her body, deliberately moved away from Li Chengxuan, and said with a dry smile: "What is the prince...... Suddenly here? ”
"Come and see you." Li Chengxuan said nonchalantly, "Let's see if you suffered retribution after you abandoned me that night." ”
"Leaving you?!" Xiling Yue was wronged, "Who said this?" I saved you! ”
"Oh?" Li Chengxuan waited quietly.
Xilingyue had no choice but to recount the story of him falling unconscious after jumping into the lake, rescuing him ashore, and luring away the pursuers for him, but did not mention Pei Xingli's help. Li Chengxuan listened silently, still without any expression: "In this way, not only did you not abandon me that night, but you saved me?" ”
Xiling Yue nodded: "Exactly!" I even got you a clean dress! ”
Li Chengxuan's thin lips pursed, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Then who is your helper?" ”
Xi Lingyue reacted very quickly: "No, I don't have any help." ”
"Impossible." Li Chengxuan looked at her with a determined expression, "According to what you said, you were taken advantage of by someone and mistakenly entered the Jiedu Embassy to pretend to be Jiang Yunyi." But you have no relatives here, and you alone will never be able to rob the prison, let alone get the armor and waist badge of the guards. ”
Xilingyue broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she insisted: "Lord Wang, the conscience of heaven and earth, it's really me alone!" ”
Li Chengxuan skipped a smile in his eyes and looked at her deeply: "Oh? Then how did you bring me from the East Bank to the West Bank? Swim through on your own? Obviously, this is a joke.
Xiling Yue naturally knew that it was impossible, but at this moment, the impossible was also possible! She could only bite the bullet and continue to lie: "The prince is right, I just swam by myself!" That night was so thrilling, I swam so fast, you were so heavy, I almost ......"
"Who is your friend?" Li Chengxuan didn't want to listen anymore, so he interrupted her. Seeing his serious expression, Xiling Yue finally realized that he couldn't hide it, and immediately changed his words: "Okay, my friend is a chivalrous man. ”
"Pei Xingli?" Li Chengxuan directly named the person's name.
"Uh......" Xiling Yue almost exclaimed, "It's not him, how can he be a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, the prince is really good at laughing." ”
Li Chengxuan really smiled: "How many people have you only known since you came to Zhenhai?" The only people who can have such power in the Jiedu Embassy and are familiar with the terrain are Li Heng and Pei Xingli. ”
"This ......" So far, it is useless for Xilingyue to deny it, so she can only say good things for Pei Xingli, "Lord Wang, don't debunk General Pei, he is a good person!" He saved your life that night! ”
When Li Chengxuan heard the previous sentence, his eyes gradually sank, and Xiling Yue hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I didn't let him uncover your mask from beginning to end, and he was still angry for this!" ”
Li Chengxuan's face changed at this time: "This king is not interested in your relationship, but if you reveal the identity of this king, you will not be spared." ”
"No, no, I still have a sense of proportion." Li Chengxuan saw that she was serious, so he didn't ask about Pei Xingli anymore, changed the topic and asked again: "What are you going to do now?" ”
Xilingyue was a little frustrated: "What else can I do, Chabei." ”
Li Chengxuan played with a wrench in his hand and said lightly: "How about this king can help you?" ”
"You want to help me?" Xiling Yue was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, for the sake of your 'never leaving' me that night."
"Great! With your men and ears, you will save me a lot of work! ”
"Who said I had men and ears?" Li Chengxuan's thin lips hooked slightly, "Only Xiao Guo can borrow it from you." ”
"Huh?!" Xiling Yue was greatly disappointed and immediately deflated.
"But I have one condition."
