Chapter 66: Substitute for the Dead

"Okay, well, do what Yan Gongzi said. Qin Zhao understood in his heart that this matter was not trivial, since Tao Gongzi said that it was clarified, it would be clarified.

Qin Zhao personally took the officials to the Cuihong Courtyard, and when they arrived at the Cuihong Courtyard, Yunzhi packed up his things and was about to leave, but before he could do so, he was stopped by the officials brought by Qin Zhao.

Since Xue Yan followed Yan Nanwan into the prison, he secretly ordered Ling Sheng to keep an eye on Cheng Ningzhi.

After Yan Nanwan was put in prison, the Cheng family knew that Cheng Ningzhi did this, and some people were happy and some were worried.

The Seven Princes folded bullets to impeach their master, and Cheng Ningzhi single-handedly sent the future Seven Princes and Princesses to the prison, doesn't this show that the Cheng family is not easy to mess with?

But if you provoke the Seven Princes, will you be able to live a better life in the future?

Cheng Ningzhi has been very honest in the past two days, staying in Cheng's mansion all day, and she can't go out of the door.

Ling Sheng stared at Cheng Ningzhi secretly, seeing that she was so peaceful, he almost thought that she had just heard the news from elsewhere.

On the night of the second day, Cheng Ningzhi sent all the maids and servants who were waiting around him early, saying that he wanted to rest.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Ningzhi lit a candle in his room, and after a while, it was blown out again, and the door opened, only to see a person dressed as a night walker coming out of it, with a face tightly covered, revealing only a pair of eyes. Looking around, I went out over the wall.

Ling Sheng watched in the dark, sneered, and finally showed the fox's tail, and followed behind with light skills.

Cheng Ningzhi took a big turn in the capital, landed in the backyard of Cuihong Courtyard, looked behind him, and made sure that he didn't follow, so he went to Yunzhi's courtyard.

Ling Sheng landed on the big tree in the yard, watched Cheng Ningzhi push open the door, stood at the door and took a look, and hurriedly turned around and left.

After Cheng Ningzhi left for a while, Ling Sheng got down from the tree and walked to the house, seeing that the things inside were all turned upside down, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and left with him.

followed Cheng Ningzhi all the way back to Cheng's mansion, and it was not until dawn that he left to go to the prison of Dali Temple.

Last night, Qin Zhao arrested Yunzhi overnight, and interrogated him overnight, Yunzhi confessed everything.

In the early court today, Qin Zhao took Yunzhi's confession and presented it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the case of the second son of Meng has been interrogated clearly. ”

Gonggong Cui went down to take the confession and sent it to the emperor, who took it and looked at it, and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qin." He handed the confession to Grandpa Cui again, "Lord Meng, take a look, do you have any questions?"

Father-in-law Cui walked down again and delivered the confession to Lord Meng.

Master Meng picked up the confession and looked at it, it was written clearly, there was nothing I didn't understand, but I remembered what the man said when he came to him last night, and his heart was shaken again, "Your Majesty, this confession is very clear." I just don't know how Lord Qin should explain that letterhead?"

Qin Zhao was embarrassed for a while, he hadn't read that letterhead, what explanation could he have?

This Lord Meng is a secretary of the ministry, he directly manages Dali Temple, isn't this embarrassing for himself at the moment?

"Your Majesty, the lower officials didn't see the letterhead, so they didn't check it. Qin Zhao bent down and arched his hand.

"I'll give Master Meng an explanation. A clear and detached voice came from outside the hall.

The emperor and a group of ministers all looked outside the main hall, and Qin Zhao was relieved when he saw that it was Tao Xiaobei.

Tao Xiaobei walked into the main hall without a hurry and saluted the emperor on the dragon chair, "Your Majesty, this matter was investigated by Xiao Bei with the assistance of Lord Qin. ”

Qin Zhao nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, if there was no Tao Gongzi this time, the lower officials would not have found out so quickly." ”

Prime Minister Tao looked at Tao Xiaobei, unexpectedly, he has never been dislike to meddle in the affairs of the court, except for the marriage between the prince and Zhao Heqian, he came to him and said a few words, he never asked anything about the court, how could he meddle in the affairs of Yanfu?

The emperor was full of interest, "This matter turned out to be investigated by Xiao Bei, and the prime minister really raised a good son." ”

Prime Minister Tao arched his hand and said, "The emperor praised it falsely." ”

Tao Xiaobei glanced coldly at Master Meng and Cheng Xiaohe, who was standing aside and did not speak, and said coldly, "Does Master Cheng know how Miss Cheng got this letter?"

Cheng Xiaohe stood up and replied very cautiously, "Ning Zhi stays in the mansion all day, and this letterhead should have been obtained by her accidentally." She has been upright since she was a child, and she can't see innocent people dying in vain, she should be used by people with intentions. ”

"Since Master Cheng has said so, I don't know if Lord Meng still has any questions about this letter?" Tao Xiaobei glanced at him coldly.

Master Meng felt the chill in Tao Xiaobei's eyes and shook his head, "Your Majesty, the lower officials don't have any doubts. ”

Seeing that a group of people were speechless, the emperor said, "Yan Nanwan, the only daughter of the Yan family, has nothing to do with the case of the second son of the Meng Mansion, so she will be released immediately." ”

Qin Zhao responded, thinking that he had finally sent the little ancestor of the Seventh Prince away.

The crown prince Xue Hanmu glanced at Tao Xiaobei, his eyes were heavy, and the fifth prince Xue Li also glanced at Tao Xiaobei and smiled, but the thirteenth prince had nothing to do with himself, and no one looked at it, as if his soul had flown out of the sky, thinking about his own affairs.

Qin Zhao asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the murderer of Second Prince Meng?"

"Kill people to pay for their lives, and frame the people of the royal family, behead!"

After the next dynasty, Qin Zhao thanked Tao Xiaobei again, and hurriedly returned to Dali Temple, for fear that if he was a step late, Xue Yan would dismantle the prison of Dali Temple.

Ling Sheng came early in the morning to report the news, Xue Yan listened, pulled Yan Nanwan out of the prison by himself, and asked the cell head to bring a message to Qin Zhao, "There is no need for Lord Qin to send it, he is very satisfied with this trip to the prison." ”

The cell boss listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he nodded yes.

Out of the prison, Yan Nanwan took a big breath of the air outside, and said with emotion, "Sure enough, it's still good outside, even the air is sweet." ”

Xue Yan laughed evilly, his eyes fell on her lips, "Wan'er's lips are the sweetest, sweet and soft, like soft and glutinous red bean paste." ”

Yan Nanwan glanced at him, too lazy to take care of him, "I'm going back to Yan Mansion, the Seventh Prince will go back to the palace!"

"I'll send you back. Xue Yanyan stretched out his hand to hug her waist, "By the way, eat a meal you cooked, okay?"

"Not good!" Yan Nanwan refused simply, "I'm not a cook." ”

"If you don't do it, you won't do it, it's okay to go to Yanfu to dine with you. Xue Yan smiled.

Thinking about being alone with Yan Nanwan for the past two days, I feel more and more that the woman in front of me is a treasure. It's already the seventh day of the fifth month, and it's time to prepare for the big wedding.

Ling Sheng followed behind, watching his master Baba go up, but the princess didn't bother to pay attention to him, and shook her head, the master was completely planted this time, and he didn't know it yet.
