Chapter 137: The Scattered Rider Disappears
Halfway through, Bei Duqing still felt that it was inappropriate, turned around and returned to the Punishment Mansion, Beichen's matter, he still had to ask the Punishment Master again to rest assured.
Seeing Lord Si Xing, he called out all the idle people in the room, and said straight to the point: "Master Su, you have done a very good job of my sixth brother, and his dignified His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Beiyue can be imprisoned by you in the prison of Si Xing." β
Su Bingsi knew that it was not a good thing for Bei Duqing to come this time, and when he asked someone to go to the Yuchen Palace to take away the six princes, he thought of these things, and he would definitely be blamed by the two highnesses, but he was a person from the Punishment Mansion, no matter how he favored the six princes in the court, he still couldn't show favoritism in such a major matter, not to mention, he originally intended to put Beichen under house arrest in the Youchen Palace to cooperate with the investigation, and it was Beichen himself who asked to go to the Punishment Prison. And in the prison, he specially instructed that Beichen should not be regarded as a prisoner, and he had to eat and drink well. At this point, Bei Duqing came to find fault, and he was really aggrieved: "Your Highness, it's really not that the lower officials want to imprison the six princes, but the evidence of this matter is conclusive, and the token is indeed the thing of the guards of the Qichen Palace, and outsiders can't imitate it and can't get it." Of course, I believe that the six princes will not harm people, but I am afraid of those who have a heart, the emperor has spread this matter in the past two days, and he is afraid that he will not be able to block the mouth of the quiet people, this rumor is okay, just don't lose the hearts of the people because of this matter! He explained earnestly.
"......" Bei Duqing still had a lot of dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes. He understands the reason, but when he thinks of the environment Beichen is in, he can't stand it, and he is helpless: "That's it, I know it's not what you mean, so according to the adults, what else can be done to turn the situation around?" β
Su Bingsi smiled: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince said that I would wait for your good news, could it be that he didn't tell you his plan in the prison?" β
Beichen blushed for a moment, he pretended to bow his head and drink tea to hide his embarrassment, Beichen only told him to go to the free rider Chang Shi, but he didn't tell him the details carefully, he didn't ask in detail, this will be a mess in his mind, how can he know what method to use? How do you turn around when you see the Lord Wanderer?
Seeing Bei Duqing's embarrassment, Su Bingsi laughed, he is a person who has been looking at Beichen and Bei Duqing, and he has watched the two of them grow up, he knows the character of the two of them best, Bei Duqing will most likely be dizzy by this trouble, where will he come up with other ways, so he said: "You go to find the Lord of the Loose Cavalry, you are the prince, they will definitely listen to your words, find a reason for them to explain that it was not Beichen but someone else, he is a victim, his words can play a great role in this case, And starting from him, it is also the best to change the hearts of the people. β
Bei Duqing frowned and scratched his head, still a little puzzled: "Lord Sanqi Chang Shi just lost his son, it stands to reason that this will be the most hateful murderer, all the evidence points to Beichen, how can he listen to what I say?" β
"Haha, I forgot that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is used to leading troops to fight, and you may not be familiar with the officials of the imperial capital. This freeman has one of the biggest drawbacksβ"
"What are the drawbacks?" Bei Duqing asked.
"The most important thing is that the family style is clear, the family background, and the generations of descendants are also righteous and honest, with decent manners and uprightness, and they are people who have never done evil, misconduct and do not know etiquette. Before, he also had a son, but just because he wanted to do justice to the deposed Sikong Lord regardless of his status, he said a few unpleasant words at a party, and he was beaten to death by the regular attendant as a disgrace. Tell me, if he knew that the son who died now had some undignified and decent, what would he do in order to save face? Su Bingsi stroked his beard and made a plan.
Bei Duqing suddenly nodded, and greeted Su Bingsi with a fist of thanks: "I know how to do it, thank you for the hint." β
Su Bingsi waved his hand: "Your Royal Highness has tormented the lower officials, let's solve this matter quickly, I also have to speed up the investigation of the matter of this Wenguan, the emperor has issued a holy decree, and the case must be closed before the summer banquet, I am still confused and don't know where to start?" You said that the murderer even dared to blame the six princes, so his ability, I am worried about my old life now, and whether I can stay until the summer feast. β
Bei Duqing knew that Beichen's matter was blamed on Bei Shen Ye, but why did he blame Bei Chen, and he selfishly felt that the things in the literary hall were not like Bei Shen Ye had done, so why did all this? Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he had a way to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth: "Don't worry, the murderer will always be found, not to mention that my father ordered our brothers to investigate with the emperor's uncle, and there will be no problems." β
Don't stay too long, Bei Duqing said goodbye to Lord Si Xing, now the big basket of things in the imperial capital, we have to speed up the pace, and we can solve one thing by one, and I have been busy with this matter for the past two days, and I haven't prepared much for the summer banquet, Beichen will be in prison again, he has to arrest these things, after all, the mother concubine is still waiting in the palace-
With a few lieutenants and undercurrents, he came to the house of the free rider and knocked on the door, but no one answered, and after knocking again, there was still no one. Bei Duqing felt strange, and there was some worry in his heart: Why didn't he open the door? Is it nobody? With such a big yard, won't there be no one? Could it be that the family evacuated and moved away? Or rather, what kind of moth did Beishen Night play?
I knocked again without giving up, but there was still no one, Bei Duqing shook his head, it seemed that he couldn't see anyone. Walking down the steps, he saw the door of a house in the courtyard of a house not far away, and a little maid poured out a basin of water, he hurriedly walked over, held the door that was about to be closed, and asked the maid, "Girl, do you know where the free rider who lives next door to you has gone?" β
The little maid looked Bei Duqing up and down, and judged from the clothes that this person was either rich or expensive, so she opened the door and said, "I don't know what important things this son has to do with Lord Chang?" He glanced at the lieutenants again, and guessed: Is it here to seek revenge and ask for debts?
"Oh, here is a friend of Lord Chang Shi, who came from afar, wanting to meet an old friend, but I knocked on the door many times and no one answered, so I had to come to Miss Wen, the girl is his neighbor, do you know where he is?" Bei Dusk Qing thought about it for a while, and casually thought of a reason.
"Friend," the maid seemed to be relieved: "That's really unfortunate, don't you know, the Chang Shi family's family has been targeted by the six princes, and you want to destroy him?" In the middle of the night last night, the Lady Chang moved his family, and this place could not be stayed any longer, in case someone came to assassinate him againβ"
Really!
"Does the girl know where they went? How can I find him again? β
"Then I don't know, they left in the middle of the night. I just don't want anyone to know where they went. β
Bei Duqing hurriedly thanked him, and went back to the lieutenant generals and instructed: "A few of you hurry up to find out where Lord Chang has gone, but when you leave the city, you are still in the imperial capital, and you will return to me as soon as there is news." β
"Yes."
He said to the undercurrent: "Undercurrent, you also go to investigate, the person who uses ink and sand has to find out the permanent servant." Also, go and check the officials who have personal relations with Lord Chang, I suspect that Lord Chang Shi did not go out of the city, and most of them were hiding in other people's homes. β
Knowing the importance of this matter, Undercurrent nodded and went.
Bei Duqing glanced at the Chang Shi Mansion again, sighed and returned to the mansion, while waiting for news, he still had to deal with the matter of dealing with the summer feast.
The matter of the Wenguan made the entire imperial capital panic, and the Punishment Mansion in charge of the whole incident, Beiliuyun, Beishenye, and Beichen were all hurrying to search for evidence, and the main thing was that they were all looking for a key figure in the case: Yue Da! In addition to Beichen, who was wrongfully framed, Yue Da is the core of this matter, and he is also the most suspicious, but he disappeared at this time, although the Si Bing Mansion has controlled the Si Bing Mansion, it is expected that Yue Da, who has always been filial, will be forced to appear under high pressure, but he is still nowhere to be seen.
Where will he go? Everyone is speculating and looking for Yue Da to know some martial arts, but he is just an ordinary literati, even if he has some ability and intelligence, he can't escape the eyes of those people in the imperial capital, but he can't be found anyway. It can only make them have deeper suspicions and speculations: since the incident in the Wenguan, only Lou Wange has been in contact with Yue Da, but Lou Wange has abandoned the imperial capital and chose to leave, will Yue Da still be under her control? Is Yue Da's disappearance related to Lou Wange?
At this time, Yue Da was sitting in the dark room of the National Teacher's Mansion drinking tea as if nothing had happened, and opposite him, there were two black-clothed people, who were the ones who were secretive and secretive. Dressed in dark black clothes, a face is heavy, without temperature, just like their black clothes are cold and depressed, and the eyes that look at Yue Da are also like knives, which makes people shudder.
Yue Da shuddered, uncomfortable being stared at, and finally asked: "I have completed the task secretly given to me by the National Teacher before leaving, and the two of you tried their best to hide me without speaking, why?" β
"Wait." One of the men in black replied coldly, reluctant to say another word.
Yue Da pursed his mouth, the subordinates of this national teacher are different, this temperament is enough to make people tremble in fear, coupled with the strength of their martial arts and the meticulousness of their thoughts, it makes him admire Lou Wange even more. The last time Lou Wange let him out of the prison, he thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't think that he hadn't returned to the museum, but he was caught by the man in black halfway and explained Lou Wange's new plan, and he was quite shocked after listening to it, not only feeling the wisdom and depth of Lou Wange, but also the cruelty and strength of the people behind the scenes. After returning to the Library, he did everything according to the plan, and when the three people in the Museum had an accident, he was arrested by the man in black again, but this time it was to protect him, so he didn't struggle, but-
