Chapter 420: Why bother asking for hardship

The inside story of the queen mother's birth was too long, and she couldn't find clues in the short term;

Yang Wenhuai's hometown happens to be in Li Chengxuan's fiefdom, and she believes that it is just a coincidence, so there is no need to find it;

Wei Bo wanted to marry Li Chengxuan, and it was even more impossible for her to go to Wei Bo to verify it;

As for the restoration route found in "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", it is only her personal guess, and it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false.

Now it seems that finding out the murderers who killed Shopkeeper Liu and Adu first is the most likely way. Xilingyue had a feeling that that person must still be in Chang'an, so he hid in the dark and stared at all this.

And the thing that can best lead to the murderer is probably the cane of Tongtian. Although the cane is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the other party may not know, and she has already found the four rhymes, as long as she pretends to hold the cane, she may be able to lure people to the bait.

Thinking of this, Xiling Yue suddenly came to her senses, and couldn't help but speed up her pace. However, as soon as she walked out of the right silver gate and walked between the walls of the two palaces, she was confronted by a group of patrolling Shence troops. One of them was very familiar, which made her surprised: "Jiang Wei?!" ”

Jiang Wei was stunned in the team, and saluted her expressionlessly: "I've seen the county lord of Xichuan, and I've seen the internal affairs of the enemy." ”

"Aren't you dismissed? Why is it in the Divine Army? Xilingyue was deeply surprised.

Jiang Wei didn't answer, only said: "The villain still has to patrol duty, please forgive the county lord." With that, he continued to move forward with the Divine Army.

Xiling Yue looked at their neat backs, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked Qiu Shiliang: "Qiu Nei affairs, you must know what's going on, please tell me!" ”

Qiu Shiliang hesitated for a long time before he said ambiguously: "The details are not very clear to the lower officials. I only heard that after this Jiang Wei was dismissed by His Majesty, he went to Chang'an County to be a low-level official, a few days ago he caught two thieves in the rivers and lakes, and asked Fang Tingwei of Dali Temple to bring a message into the palace, and His Majesty summoned him...... Then he went to the Divine Camp of God. ”

Qiu Shiliang's eloquence has always been very good, and his speech is crisp and neat, and he is appropriately measured. He didn't reveal a word about what Jiang Wei said to the Son of Heaven, but these few words also revealed a lot of clues.

Xilingyue had a sense of foreboding, and hurriedly asked: "You just said that Jiang Wei caught two thieves in the rivers and lakes, dare to ask who it is?" ”

"I don't know the lower officials," Qiu Shiliang's eyes flickered, "It's a man and a woman, very young." ”

Thieves, a man and a woman? Be...... Spirits and Empty Child!

Xiling Yue was shocked, and suddenly remembered what Li Chun had said-"There are some things that I don't want to provoke, you have to make inches of progress, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

It turns out that the Son of Heaven already knows the inside story of Tongtian's cane, and Jingjing'er and Kongkong'er must have said it! That was not Li Chengxuan's reward at all when he was crowned king at the age of fifteen, nor did he sit idle in his mansion for many years, but it was searched from Master Zhen Luo's underground secret room!

No wonder before she left, Li Chun would say this, the Son of Heaven really showed her mercy!

No, it's not! How could Jiang Wei know about the cane? That day, I went to Qingxiu Garden to search the underground secret room, only the Jingjing'er brothers and sisters, Xiao Yi and her four were present, Jiang Wei was not among them, he had been ambushing nearby with the men and horses of Dali Temple!

It stands to reason that he didn't know that it was Empty that he had stolen the cane, and he shouldn't even have known that it was in the secret room. Then why did he arrest Jing'er and Kongkong'er into the palace? Who instructed him?

Xiling Yue recalled the incident in Qingxiu Garden that day, and suddenly found that she had neglected one person - the murderer who used poison darts.

That day, they seized the treasure and returned the same way, and suddenly met Nie Yinniang, and at the critical moment, it was the murderer who repelled Nie Yinniang!

When Kongkong'er took her cane to Fuwang's Mansion to admit her mistake, she clearly said that she hid her cane on the beam, and the next day she waited for an opportunity to get it, and was caught by Jingjing'er.

It must be the murderer! It was he who ran into everything, and it was he who instructed Jiang Wei to denounce the Jingjing'er brothers and sisters!

Thinking of this, Xiling Yue quickly returned the same way and rushed towards the Divine Army. She stopped in front of the Shence Army and shouted at Jiang Wei and asked, "Who instructed you to arrest Big Brother Jing and Sister Kong?" You said! ”

Jiang Wei pretended not to know: "I don't know what the county lord is talking about." ”

Xilingyue was so anxious that she stomped her foot and asked a different question: "Why did you arrest them?" ”

"Because they are Jiangyang thieves, they also entered the secret room of Qingxiu Garden." Jiang Wei replied calmly, "The county lord must also know that the things in the secret room are very important, and the villain is worried that their hands and feet are not clean, so he waits for the opportunity to arrest and ask the saint for his guilt." ”

"Shame on you!" Xiling Yue was so angry that she couldn't speak.

A Zheng Wanniang and a Jiang Wei will do everything to get to the top, and even take revenge and slander and frame them! It's just hateful, it's just shameful!

This group of Shence troops was already displeased when they saw Xiling Yue blocking in front of them, and scolded their colleagues loudly. The captain came out and said: "Xichuan County Lord, Jiang Wei was born in the army, and his character and skills are obvious to all. Please also ask the county lord to be cautious and not delay our patrol. ”

Xiling Yue didn't give an inch: "I only target Jiang Wei alone, and it has nothing to do with the Shence Army." As long as he answers my questions truthfully, I admit punishment and have no complaints. ”

"County Lord," Qiu Shiliang also rushed over at this time and persuaded in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what Your Majesty said?" Since he has saved you face, why should you ask for your own suffering? ”

"But I can't see the Holy being deceived by traitors!" Xiling Yue is righteous and awe-inspiring.

Qiu Shiliang was about to persuade again, and suddenly heard a call from behind him: "Xichuan County Lord." ”

Xiling Yue turned around in a hurry, and before she could see anyone who was coming, she saw that Qiu Shiliang and the team of Shence troops had already bowed respectfully: "I've seen Lieutenant Tutu." ”

The person who came was the first eunuch next to the Son of Heaven, the lieutenant of the Guardian Army of the Shence Army, Tutu Chengguang. He was wearing a purple official uniform, with his hands behind his back, and was walking towards Xiling Yue.

Tutu Chengxuan walked slowly, calmly and calmly, and only when he walked to her side did he ask: "Why does the county lord make things difficult for his subordinates?" ”

For some reason, his gloomy gaze made Xiling Yue shiver, and she instantly calmed down: "Don't dare, I just want to find Jiang Wei under your command." ”

Tutu Chengxuan motioned for Jiang Wei to stay, and the rest of the people continued to inspect, and said to Xiling Yue: "The others are here, what does the county lord want to ask?" ”

"He knew it in his own heart." Xiling Yue didn't want to repeat it.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei didn't dare to slack off anymore, stepped forward stubbornly, and said respectfully: "County Lord, the villain is indeed instructed by others. ”

"Who is it?"

"The villain doesn't know." Jiang Wei had to answer truthfully, "In October last year, after the villain was dismissed, he was unwilling, so he went to Chang'an County to be a bad person. On the thirtieth day of the first lunar month, the villain went home from duty and saw that someone left a note, asking the villain to go to the Tongyi Guest House in Hepingfang to find the essence and the empty child. It is said that the two of them stole the martial arts cane of Qing Xiuyuan, and the saint is ordering to find it, and once they catch the two of them, they will be able to atone for their sins. The villain was moved, and he quietly went to the guest house with people that night, and sure enough, he caught jΔ«ngjΔ«nger and empty air. The villain asked the original Shangfeng of Dali Temple to mediate on his behalf, and saw the Shengshang...... "Jiang Wei paused for a moment, "The Shengshang said that the villain was born in martial arts, and he was not good at detectives, and he had no future when he went to Dali Temple to reinstate, so he let the villain enter the Shence Army." ”
