Chapter 220: The First Signs (Part II)
"Brother Jing, it was the Tubo people's attack on Chang'an that night that led you and me astrays about the true identity of the assassin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lai Xing'er sighed, "These days, I have carefully pondered the various behaviors of the assassins that night, and I have made an astonishing discovery: the assassins are outside the Chengtian Gate, when Niangniang led the army to fight against the Tubo people, she launched a bone nail to plot against Niangniang, and the person she really wants to help is Zhang Liang, not the Tubo people!" ā
"Does it make a difference?" Jing Zhao first blurted out a question to Xing'er, and then suddenly realized, "You mean, this assassin is a remnant of the Zhang clan who slipped through the net during the 'Jinggong' operation presided over by Li Jinzhong?!" When she saw that Zhang Liang and her sister had been fighting for a long time, she had evil thoughts and sent a secret weapon to plot against her sister to help her real master, Zhang Liang. ā
Lai Xing'er saw that Jing Zhao was a little clear, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to explain: "Yes, only after the death of Empress Zhang of the previous dynasty, the remnants of the Zhang family, who were regarded as the new lord, will follow us like crazy after I sneak attack Zhang Liang from behind, and when I go to Daming Palace, I will not hesitate to expose my gender, but also to you and me, no, to be exact, I want to die." If she was just a spy of the Tibetan people, there was no need to take such a risk.
After confirming that the assassin who plotted against Niangniang was a member of the Zhang family, not a spy of the Tubo people, I remembered that more than two months ago, after the truth that I had entered the palace as a eunuch without purifying my body was exposed, Marshal Chengjing and Mr. Liu strongly persuaded that the emperor had spared me the death penalty, and the general Wu Bi asked the emperor for permission to send me to the palace cemetery 'Wild Fox Fall' on the outskirts of Chang'an to guard the grave. Now that I think about it, General Wu is used to using me as a bait, suspecting that I am involved with the Zhang family, and sent me to the 'Wild Fox Fall' where Empress Zhang's remains are buried, just to induce the remnants of the Zhang family hidden in Chang'an to send someone to contact me, steal the remains of the Zhang family, and place them there. As a result, the person who came to explore the 'Wild Fox Fall' at night was actually Nayu, who returned to Chang'an from Luo with me, not a member of the Zhang family's remnants. ā
"Nayu? Why does this name sound so unfamiliar? Jing Zhao raised his hand and rubbed his nose, looked at Lai Xing'er with a smile, and asked to himself.
"The reason why Nayu came to the 'Wild Fox Fall' at night to find me was actually to ask me to go to Jiangling to join Li Shu, the king of Jiangling. This is what she told me personally after she and I were caught in an ambush around the 'Wild Fox Fall' led by General Wu. It's just that the fact that I was sent to the 'Wild Fox Fall' by Wu Bifa was revealed to her by Ying'er when she happened to meet Sakura in Nannai the day before. As a result, I began to wonder about Sakura's true identity.
And when these days, I thought about the two things of the Niangniang Zhongren's plot and Nayu's being used by others, and unconsciously acting as a stone thrown by the Zhang's remnants to ask for directions, I couldn't help but be more suspicious of Ying'er. ā
When Jing Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up, he slapped a few cases, and said excitedly: "Xing'er, since you have made this discovery, if you want to distinguish the authenticity, it is actually very simple, you only need to visit and find out where Ying'er was on the night of her sister's martyrdom, and whether you have the time to hide in Chang'an City to plot against people, at least in your own heart, you can make a roughly accurate judgment on whether Ying'er is the remnants of the Zhang family who plotted against your sister." ā
Lai Xing'er gave Jing Zhao a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Brother Jing is a master, and he can see through the key points at a glance. It took me three days to come up with this further verification. ā
"Oh, so Xing'er, you've already checked and got results? On the night when the Tubo people captured Chang'an, did Ying'er really stay in Chang'an and not run east with the emperor? ā
Lai Xing'er put away her smile and nodded solemnly.
The truth was almost revealed, and the two of them had nothing to say for a while, falling into silence.
After a while, it was Jing Zhao who spoke first: "When you find out this point, you don't need to think about it anymore. The rest is how to find enough evidence to prove it to the emperor. Xing'er, Jing Zhao asked himself to be much better than you in handling cases, now that you have found out the real murderer of your sister, you can rest assured that I will do the rest. When you return triumphantly from Liangzhou, I will not disappoint you. ā
Lai Xing'er knew very well that the promise that Jing Zhao made to himself tonight, what kind of courage it would take and how much pressure it would take to be realized, he couldn't help but be deeply moved, grabbed Jing Zhao's hand, and said earnestly: "Brother Jing, Niangniang treated me like a mountain when I was alive, and I had a teacher-student friendship, after I leave, you just need to try to find out the evidence of Ying'er's rebellion and rebellion, that is, to bring her down, or wait for me to come back from the Western Xinjiang and leave it to me to complete." ā
When Jing Zhao raised his eyes, he found that Lai Xing'er's eyes were surging with crystal tears, knowing that he was sincere, worried that if he brushed his heart at this time, he would still be worried when he left Beijing tomorrow and rushed to Liangzhou, so he nodded and responded: "Good brother, I promise you, I will wait until you return to Beijing from Liangzhou, and you will personally expose the true face of this poisonous snake and avenge your sister." ā
Lai Xing'er saw that Jing Zhao agreed to himself very happily, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden that had been pressing on his heart for many days, let out a long breath, and reminded Jing Zhao with a smile: "Lord Shaoyin, please pass on Bo Hu to see you." I fell in love with him, but I didn't know that this wave of protection was reluctant to go to Liangzhou with me. ā
Jing Zhao was also deeply happy and excited that Lai Xing'er had locked the real culprit of his sister's plot on Ying'er so quickly, and hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Come on, go to the front duty room and bring Bo Hu here, Fuyuan Hou wants to see him." ā
After a while, Bogo, who was full of relief and sleepiness, followed the two officials to the back hall. He just crossed the threshold with one leg and entered the back hall, raised his eyes and saw that the person who wanted to see him was Lai Xing'er, and couldn't help but shout to Lai Xing'er in a rough voice: "Wow, you have been promoted, and you have been promoted to the marquis, and you dare to leave me alone and stay in the cold duty room of the yamen." You kid can't forget what you said back then, at least you have to let me out, and ask the Emperor of Middle-earth to reward me with some silver so that I can make a deal or something. ā
Jing Zhao was very impressed by Bohu, and at this time, seeing him so presumptuous in front of him, his heart was even more angry, and he "snapped" a few cases, and shouted at him: "Bold Bohu, this official is serving you with delicious food and drink, and you are still not satisfied!" Seeing the Marquis of Fuyuan, he didn't give the official an honest kneeling reply. ā
Since Lai Xing'er had the intention to take Bo Hu to Liangzhou on an errand, he naturally didn't want to have trouble with him before leaving Beijing, so he hurriedly waved his hand to persuade Jing Zhao, got up and moved forward, picked up Bo Hu, took him to the seat of the head and sat down with him, and then said to him: "Brother Bo Hu, Lai Xing'er promised you, and it will never be in vain, please relax and don't need to be so impatient." I'm coming to Jingzhao Mansion tonight just to take over you for another big trip for the imperial court, I wonder if you're willing? ā
Bo Hu timidly glanced at Jing Zhao, who was sitting in the center, but still couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart, and complained to Xing'er: "Errand, errand, the Emperor of Middle-earth only knows that he needs someone to do errands for him, and he doesn't understand the truth that horses have to be fed with some good material often in order to run for a long time?" ā
"Presumptuous, if you dare to be disrespectful to the saint, the official will immediately order someone to put you in prison, and you will not be released again." Jing Zhao once again sharply warned Bo Hudao. (To be continued.) )
