Zhao Pu's body began to tremble, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and finally said: "I was sleeping last night, Song Qi knocked on the door and came in, saying that there was something to discuss with me, I asked what was the matter, and he said that he knew that I wanted Chen Congxin to die, because he had been investigating Concubine Li Xian's death." And he knew that Concubine Li Xian's death was related to Concubine Li De, Concubine Li Xian was deeply favored by the housekeeper, once it was found out, I was afraid that I would not be able to get out of it. I asked him what the price was. He said that Zhang Mei on our side should resign from the post of general of the Left Ring Guard, and recommend their people to serve as generals. I thought about it, so I agreed, and asked him how to kill Chen Congxin? He said I didn't care, and if someone looked into it in the future, he needed me to help him lie that he was with me all night. Then we also talked about the content of the chat and the specifics. That's the way it is. ”

"Good!" Leng Yi nodded, "Next, tell me, how did Concubine Li Defei kill Concubine Li Xian?" ”

Zhao Pu was dumbfounded, and his white beard kept shaking.

Leng Yi sneered: "Don't tell me that you don't know, in fact, I have already mastered this matter, and the dead Huang Zhaoyi has already told me that Concubine Li Xian was poisoned by Concubine Li De!" While she's sick! And the person who poisoned him was the Imperial Doctor Hua Shenzun! ”

Zhao Pu grunted twice in his throat, not knowing whether to sigh or mutter. looked at Leng Yi in horror.

Leng Yi said: "You must be very curious, how did Huang Zhaoyi know? In fact, Huang Zhaoyi has always been very ambitious, she is not satisfied with Zhaoyi's identity, she has been spending a lot of money to buy the maids around the concubines in order to collect their news. This is how Concubine Li Defei's personal maid was bought by her, and after she learned about this important news, she was originally going to use this news to coerce Concubine Li De, but. She knows that she doesn't have a tough backstage, and if it leaks, she is afraid that she will be killed. It wasn't until I agreed to be her umbrella that she told me and wrote it down. So. In fact, I already know about Concubine Li Defei's death, and I just want to know more about you when I ask you. This is your last chance to make a meritorious contribution. If you tell you the secrets you know, I will not only save you from death, but I will not be able to remove you from office, and I will even let you regain your power! Of course. You must follow me with all your heart. - Don't worry, you still have a little time to think about it! ”

Leng Yi patted Zhao Pu's thin shoulder, smiled, stood up and walked to the well, and leisurely shook the folding fan.

After only a moment, I saw Yin Vultures coming briskly from the lobby. He bowed down and said, "Master Qiqi, that guy is willing to confess!" ”

"Good!" Leng Yi looked at Zhao Pu, "You wait, I'll ask him first, you still have one last time to think." ”

After that, Leng Yi walked away.

He took Cheng Luojie and Yin Vulture to the stone house, and it was less than a meal. Song Qi lay on the ground weakly, looking at Leng Yi weakly: "My lord, I explained, can you give me a way to live?" ”

"You have no room for bargaining! I can only be honest! Otherwise......" Leng Yi glanced at Yin Ying.

Song Qi immediately let out a terrifying moan, spitting with difficulty, and said: "I am, I will say everything...... Chen Congxin was killed by me, just as you said it, I am actually preparing to kill you, my lord." Treat him as you, kill him by mistake, and then collude with Zhao Pu to commit perjury, and arrange that secret room in the same way as you said. I plead guilty! ”

"Good!" Leng Yi waved his hand to let Yin Vultures go out and closed the door. Then he said, "Back to the previous question,—— why did you kill me?" Would you like to say? ”

Song Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and nodded: "Yes, it was ......, it was explained by Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, before leaving." ”

Leng Yi frowned: "Qi King Zhao Tingmei? Why did he kill me? ”

"Because ......" Song Qi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, glanced at Leng Yi's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Because he wants to use this Northern Expedition to kill the official family, and then replace it, let us kill all the cronies of the official family in the court." The first of these is you, an adult. King Qi originally wanted to entrap you for his own use, but you have always followed the official family, King Qi said that now you control hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, and there are hundreds of officials supervised by the trial court, which is a big trouble for seizing the throne, and you must kill him before he kills the official family! ”

Cheng Luo's delicate body trembled slightly, biting her red lips and not speaking.

Leng Yi continued expressionlessly: "So, the King of Qi is ready to rebel? ”

Song Qi nodded with difficulty: "King Qi said that if he doesn't rebel, the official family will kill him sooner or later, just like he wants to kill Zhao Dezhao!" - He said that Zhao Dezhao must have been killed by the official family! He and Zhao Defang can't run away, so they can only strike first! ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "I can't see it, he is modest on the outside, but his stomach is so insidious." - Who are his comrades? There should be many generals in the forbidden army who follow him, right? ”

Song Qi nodded.

"Tell all his henchmen! I can spare you from dying! ”

"Really? Talking counts! ”

"Hmmm! However, it must be fully explained and not concealed. ”

"I say everything I know, but I don't know much, after all, he doesn't trust me the most."

"Who's that?"

"I don't know, I guess it's Ludoson. - The king of Qi did not gather everyone together to discuss the rebellion, he summoned them alone. So I don't know exactly who they are. ”

"Tell me what you know!"

"I estimate that there is Lu Duoxun, and in addition, there are Ma army guards who command the party to advance! I don't know anything else. ”

After Song Qi finished speaking, he looked at Leng Yi with affection and said, "Lord Leng, you must tell the official family as soon as possible that the King of Qi is going to rebel and kill the official family during the Northern Expedition." If you can say that this is reported by Weichen, then thank you very much. ”

"Don't worry, I'll say it! - What else do you know about King Qi's rebellion? For example, how do you know about the grievances between Concubine Li Defei and Concubine Li Xian? What else do you know? ”

Song Qi invited credit, as if he had to tell everything he knew. After finishing speaking, Leng Yi found a pen and paper and asked him to write it down. After writing, he signed and stamped his fingerprint.

When Song Qi was writing his confession, Leng Yi stepped out and called Yin Vulture over. said lightly: "Wait a while, you hang him on the beam of the house, do it cleanly!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Yin Vultures bowed in agreement and stepped into the stone house.

Cheng Luoyan looked at Leng Yi in astonishment: "Didn't you agree, didn't you spare his life after he said it?" ”

"If I spare him. I can't live! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"I spared him and locked him up, and the people on King Qi's side immediately knew that he had been caught, so they would attack me again, and this time I was lucky and happened to dodge. Next time, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky! ”

Cheng Luoyan nodded with palpitations: "That's what I said." ”

Leng Yi said: "Now is a life-and-death game, you must not be soft, kill him, is to avoid startling the grass and snakes, to this kind of insidious person." There is no need to have any credibility with them, this is called not tired of cheating! To give credibility to the enemy is to give away your own surname! ”

Cheng Luoyan blushed and nodded: "I understand." ”

"Don't tell anyone about today's incident, including your sister and Qiao Niang!"

"I know. - Lu Duosun wants to follow Zhao Tingmei to rebel, let's arrest Lu Duosun and torture him, right? He must know a lot! ”

Leng Yi shook his head: "Now there is only Song Qi's confession, and he is only suspicious." There is no real evidence. Lu Duosun is not an ordinary person, and he can't move without evidence. At the same time, once we arrest Lu Duosun now, we will definitely be startled, and if he refuses to confess, we will be passive, so it is better to wait and see what happens. Wait until the main henchmen are all found out, and the real evidence is caught, and then they will be caught in the net! ”

"Hmm. Good! But since they want to rebel, then you are on the cusp, official, you must be very careful. Cheng Luoyan took Leng Yi's hand and said, "Promise me." Before the whole King of Qi, let me follow you to protect you, I ......, I'm so worried......"

Leng Yi hugged her and nodded: "Okay, with your protection, I will be much more relieved." ”

Cheng Luoyan hugged him, and made up her mind that she would desperately protect her husband's safety.

Leng Yi returned to the stone house, and after Song Qi finished writing the confession, he put it in his arms and said, "You go out with me, go to the door, you say loudly that you still want to check the case at the scene, and then return to this house." Do you understand? ”

Song Qi looked at Leng Yi with some suspicion.

Leng Yi said: "Don't worry too much, I just want you to tell them that you are good at psychics, and you can communicate with Chen Congxin by channeling in this room." It was finally confirmed that Chen Congxin had died by suicide, so that I could close the case. ”

Song Qi suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "My subordinates understand." All subordinates obey the arrangement of adults. ”

"Can you still go?"

"I can go! It's okay, hehe. ”

"That's good! Let's go! - Chen Congxin's case is really strange. ”

"yes, yes." Song Qi walked out of the door side by side with Leng Yi while responding, and when he arrived in the lobby, he stopped and said loudly: "Lord Leng, I think this case is very strange, maybe it was really the dead girl that Chen Congxin liked, I have also learned some psychic techniques before, I can talk to the dead, I want to try it, can I talk to the undead, find out this case, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Leng Yi also said loudly: "Talking to the undead, this is a very dangerous thing, forget it!" ”

"Please rest assured, my lordship, I know what to do!"

"Then ......, well, you have to be careful, do you want someone to help you?"

"No, you don't! To talk to the undead, you have to be alone! ”

"Alright! Then there's Lord Rauson! ”

With that, Song Qi turned around and walked back to the stone house and closed the door.

Leng Yi glanced at Yin Eagle next to him, then stepped out, beckoned to Lu Duoxun and the others who were sitting in the shade of the tree from a distance, motioned for them to wait, and then took Cheng Luoyan back to the well.

Zhao Pu pale faced, knelt on the ground, and said, "Lord Leng, I ......, I am willing to follow my lord and tell me everything I know to show my loyalty!" ”

"Well, I'll hear it first."

Zhao Pu colluded with Concubine Li De's father, Li Chuyun, to bribe Hua Mingzun to work for Concubine Li De, and in order to help Concubine Li Defei compete for favor, he poisoned Concubine Li Xian's medicine and poisoned her to death. In addition, Zhao Pu also said a lot of intrigue in the court to frame the scourge. After Leng Yi heard what he said, he ordered to take a pen and paper and let Zhao Pu write it down and sign it. Put it away. Then he patted his emaciated shoulder and said, "Yes, if you follow me in the future, you will have your benefits." If you want to brush your head, it's a dead end, understand? ”

Zhao Pu bowed down and agreed: "The old man understands." The old man would never dare to have two hearts. ”

Leng Yi muttered a few words to Zhao Pu, and then the two walked away while talking, and returned to the shade of the tree.

Leng Yi sighed and said, "I've asked them all." I studied this case with Song Qi Song, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and it seems that I was wrong, Chen Congxin did not kill him, but committed suicide, because no one could latch the door inside from the outside, and there was no tool left at the scene to rob the tomb and open the door. With that, he glanced at Xiang Gong. Xiang Gong smiled a little awkwardly.

Leng Yi continued: "Lord Song said that he has experienced a lot of strange cases, some of which also involve ghosts, when he was a local criminal officer, in order to solve the case, he learned how to communicate with ghosts from a mysterious witch, and you have all heard what he said just now, he wants to try to communicate with ghosts to see how Chen Congxin died." I said it was dangerous, he didn't listen, alas, I don't know what the result was. ”

With that, Leng Yi looked back at the lobby with a worried face.

Xiang Gong said: "Lord Leng's worry is also right, this psychic, dealing with ghosts, it is dangerous to get it wrong, if you are caught by ghosts, then it is called horror, and you don't know how to die!" However, Lord Song is willing to take risks in order to find out the case, and this spirit is still very admirable. - Right, Lord Zhao? ”

Zhao Pu smiled, twisting his beard as if nothing had happened: "This psychic thing, the old decay is not clear, maybe what Xiang said to the Lord is right, after all, Lord Xiang is very good at studying this aspect." ”

Xiang Gong looked a little proud, and said: "That's it, when I looked at Chen Congxin before, I knew that he must have been ghosted, so I closed the door and hanged myself." The woman he liked, she must be lonely in the underworld, and wanted him to accompany her, and when she heard him say so emotionally yesterday, she got on him and hanged herself in the stone house! ”

Cheng Dexuan said: "That's right! I have met a patient before, very strange, he always said that there was a person who followed him, his long hair covered his face, and he rode on his neck, but all the people did not see anyone behind him, and in the end, he strangled himself to death, and when he was examined, there were two indentations on his shoulders, as if someone was riding on it. ”

Leng Yi had already admitted that he had miscalculated, and it might have been a ghost who killed Chen Congxin, so the hearts of all the people present suddenly relaxed, so they began to tell ghost stories again.

After talking for a long time, they didn't see Song Qi come out, these people began to be a little unable to sit still, looked at the arch for a while, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that he is also dead?" Do you want to check it out? ”

Leng Yi nodded: "Exactly, it's better to go and see, I have a bottom in my heart." Let's go! ”
