Chapter 693: Analysis
Wang Yuan rejected Yang Guozhong's request to communicate privately about Li Linfu's poisoning, and took Gao Moyan out of the palace and returned home. Yang Guozhong was a little unhappy, but Wang Yuan didn't care if he was happy or not.
At such times, it is not advisable to gather in private to talk about it. Especially Yang Guozhong, as An Lushan said, the biggest beneficiary of Li Linfu's death on the surface is Yang Guozhong, at this time, Yang Guozhong's behavior should be more cautious, because I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, and I don't know how many people are waiting for him to show his suspicions. Yang Guozhong feels good about himself, but he doesn't know that his actions are for his good.
Of course, Wang Yuan will also tell Yang Guozhong about the situation, but not tonight. All I can do tonight is go back to my house and sleep, and I don't need to talk about it with any contact.
Back in the house, it's almost four watches. In two hours, it will be dawn. The lights in the inner house were still on, and under the lights, Li Xin'er was still waiting for Wang Yuan and Gao Moyan to return while she was dozing with her cheeks. When Wang Yuan pushed open the door and entered the house, Li Xin'er woke up in shock, hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Erlang is back?" Why did the banquet go so late? What about the little sister of the Gao family? ”
She went back to her room and went to sleep. I thought you must be asleep, so I didn't bother. ”
Wang Yuan handed the cloak he had taken off to Li Xin'er, reached out and poured a cup of tea, leaned his neck to drink, and sat on the chair panting.
"Well, if only you all came back safely. For some reason, I was so nervous that night. Not long ago, people were shouting in the streets, and I don't know what happened. I'm a little worried about you. Li Xin'er hung Wang Yuan's cloak on the hanger, turned around, stood in front of Wang Yuan, and whispered.
Wang Yuan smiled, reached out and took her hand and pulled her into his arms and hugged her. Li Xin'er smiled: "It's going to be dawn...... Jiro should rest early. ”
Wang Yuan whispered in her ear: "Tell you something, don't be excited." ”
Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan in surprise and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Li Linfu is dead!" ”
Li Xin'er's eyes widened in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on her face, and after a while, a smile appeared on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Is this old thief really dead?" God has eyes, teach my father and mother to get revenge, hehehe, die well, die well. I said that I was a little restless tonight, it turned out that the enemy of my family died, and I felt something in my heart. ”
Wang Yuan gently stroked her waist and said in a low voice, "Congratulations to Madame for taking revenge." ”
Li Xin'er raised her hands and folded her hands to the sky, and prayed with tears in her eyes: "Father, mother, you were killed by an old thief in front of me twelve years ago, and my daughter is thinking about avenging you all the time. Now that the old thief is finally dead, although it was not done by his daughter, it can be regarded as your revenge, and you can turn a blind eye. ”
Wang Yuan also bowed to the sky a few times, then took out a silk scarf and handed it to Li Xin'er to wipe her tears. Li Xin'er wiped her tears, her eyes showed excitement, and she looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Is it the old thief that Erlang killed for me?" ”
Wang Yuan shook his head slowly and said, "I thought to, but unfortunately it wasn't me." And even if I could kill him, I wouldn't kill him now. ”
Li Xin'er frowned and said, "What does Erlang mean by this?" How did the old thief die? ”
Wang Yuan whispered a brief account of tonight's events, and Li Xin'er was surprised after listening to it: "How can this be?" How could an old thief be poisoned? It's a bizarre thing. Haha, the old thief has been careful all his life, and he has to test for poison with silver needles when he eats and drinks, how could such a thing happen. ”
Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Then Liu Jian is the imperial doctor sent by His Majesty, how dare he test the medicine that the imperial doctor boiled for him?" That medicine is equivalent to what His Majesty gave him to drink, does he dare to doubt it? Even if His Majesty gave him a cup of poisonous wine, he knew that it was poisonous, and he would drink it. It was precisely this psychology that the person who poisoned him took advantage of, so he succeeded in poisoning. ”
Li Xin'er said: "Who did this?" I have to thank him. ”
Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "I have a conclusion in my heart, and I am ninety percent sure of the person who poisoned Li Linfu. ”
"Who is it?" Li Xin'er asked in a low voice.
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "It's none other than the crown prince Li Heng." ”
Li Xin'er was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How do you know it's him?" Did he show his feet? ”
Wang Yuan said: "He covered it up well, but I found his feet." Do you remember the day I told you that he summoned me on the banks of the Dragon Pool? ”
"Remember, he still wants to disagree with you. Li Fuguo, this dog thing, sooner or later I will kill him. ”
"It's not Li Fuguo's business, it's what the prince said to me that day." Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Li Heng said that he was going to do an earth-shattering event that day, I told you this sentence, do you remember?" ”
"Oh, do you mean...... What His Highness the Crown Prince is referring to...... It's ......," Li Xin'er said in a low voice with wide eyes.
Wang Yuan nodded slightly: "I'm afraid that's what I'm referring to." At that time, I thought, will he seek power and usurp the throne? But considering that he didn't have the guts, he didn't think much about it, and just took his words as an angry sentence. Unexpectedly, the earth-shattering events he said were, poisoning, killing, Li, Lin, and Fu. ”
Li Xin'er was silent, and the room was silent. The flame jumped, and the wick burst with a slight 'crackling' sound. Outside, the wind whistled through the treetops where the leaves were almost gone, whining and whistling.
"Erlang, let me say more, just based on what he said, how can I conclude that he did it? Unless you find something else. Li Xin'er broke the silence and said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan stared at the candle flame without blinking, and said in a low voice: "Of course I know that this is not enough to conclude that it was the crown prince's doing. But there were two things at tonight's feast that led me to conclude that the prince had done it. ”
"What two things?"
"The first thing is that it was the crown prince's suggestion that His Majesty send the imperial doctor to visit Li Linfu tonight. I wondered why anyone could have been so well prepared, and the timing was so appropriate. How did the instructor know that His Majesty would send an imperial doctor to visit and treat Li Linfu after he fell ill tonight. These are the puzzles that bother me. It wasn't until I remembered that it was the crown prince who suggested that His Majesty send the imperial doctor to visit Xiangguo's mansion that everything was resolved. This was all designed by him, once His Majesty adopted his suggestion and sent the imperial doctor to Xiangguofu, his people would intercept and kill the imperial doctor on the way, and then pretend to be the imperial doctor to poison Li Linfu. This is called interlocking. If His Majesty hadn't sent the Imperial Doctor, this would not have happened. But it will definitely happen later. As long as Li Linfu's illness is not good, the prince will always find an opportunity to suggest that His Majesty send an imperial doctor to treat Li Linfu until Li Linfu is poisoned. ”
Li Xin'er took a breath of cold air and said, "I see, in this way, he is indeed the most suspicious." ”
Wang Yuan said: "I also noticed that Li Fuguo, who had been standing behind the prince during the banquet, disappeared out of thin air for a while. I didn't pay attention at the time, and when something happened later, I remembered that when I was presenting a song to the noble concubine, Li Fuguo sneaked in from behind the screen and returned to the prince. I was paying attention to the reaction of the crowd to my tune when I stumbled upon it. Although I didn't realize anything at the time, when the news of Li Linfu's poisoning came, I immediately realized what Li Fuguo was doing when he left. ”
Li Xin'er said: "He must have spread the news that His Majesty Zhun Juan sent the imperial doctor to visit Li Linfu outside the palace, and arranged for people to intercept and kill Li Linfu halfway, and arrange the poisoning of Li Linfu." ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly, this is the purpose of his departure." In this way, as soon as the imperial doctor left the palace, they immediately took action. The whole thing must have been designed by Li Fuguo, and the prince himself did not have this ability. I have to say that this strategy is very ingenious, using the imperial doctor sent by His Majesty to paralyze Li Linfu and the defenders around him. It was this only weakness that was exploited to succeed in one blow. ”
Li Xin'er sighed and said, "It's amazing, it's really powerful." Li Fuguo is really a powerful character. ”
Wang Yuan said: "Afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually had a panic. I've been keeping an eye on him. When we examined Liu Jian's body, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually very nervous. He had been hiding in the shadows, just not wanting his nervous expression to be known. But since I have a heart for him, I can naturally see the clues. An Lushan's analysis is actually very correct, he said that whoever is most beneficial to Li Linfu's death is the biggest object of suspicion. On the surface, it seems to be reflecting Yang Zuoxiang, but in fact, the biggest beneficiary is actually the prince. Li Linfu has always hoped to re-establish the crown prince, which is the biggest threat to the prince. As soon as Li Linfu dies, who will mention this matter again? I'm sure many of you can see that. ”
"You mean, in fact, everyone understands, but they don't say it explicitly?"
Wang Yuan said: "Of course I can't say it explicitly, he is the prince, and there is no evidence to prove it." I suspect that His Majesty may also think that this matter has something to do with the crown prince, and their attitude is actually very intriguing. I'm not sure if they suspect Prince Dao. ”
Li Xin'er frowned and said, "Then why did you recommend the prince to investigate this case?" I don't understand. You know he's the mastermind behind it. Is there any deep meaning in this? ”
Wang Yuan smiled slightly: "Xin'er knows more and more about analyzing things, and she knows more and more about my style of acting." Yes, I deliberately recommended the prince to investigate this case, and there is indeed some deep meaning in it. ”
