Chapter 64: A Game Within a Game

Li Zhengqing trembled slightly when he heard this,

"The officer understands that he wants to take his sin through his wife, but-"

Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips slightly, "'It's just that what is he doing this for', Yaoyue thought to herself, there is probably a huge secret behind the six Xu family retainers, but according to the information we have now, we can't know." And this was a conspiracy between Shopkeeper Zhou and the man who was above the county hall today and pretended to be the master of Yushan County.

And Yaoyue dared to assert that the master with a human skin mask on the county hall today must be related to the largest rouge gouache shop in the capital. The lipstick in question was carefully made by them and served to the six ladies. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhengqing couldn't help but sigh, the shopkeeper of the jade shop surnamed Zhou was really vicious. These were all carefully planned by him from beginning to end, but later he deceived his wife who believed in him so much, and asked her to take the blame for him. The woman estimated that she would not know until she died, so that her face was ruined, and she was spurned by the world until she lost her life, all of which were secretly planned by her husband, who had shared the bed with her for many years.

looked at Li Zhengqing with some anger and thoughtfulness. Lin Yaoyue knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but take a step forward and say, "This shopkeeper Zhou is a person who is very deep in the city. This is also because he knew that Zhu Xianling of Yushan County was a greedy person, but he did not bribe him. Instead, he bribed a little trick to confuse the identity of the dead body. ”

"You meanβ€”" Li Zhengqing jerked his eyes, a little incredulous.

"Yes, Master Lee. That work was destined to die, but it should have been at the end of the net. ”

Li Zhengqing gestured. I only heard Lin Yaoyue lightly open her lips and say,

"Just like after I revealed it, Zhu County's reaction. It's just that the shopkeeper of Zhou wanted to stay until the case was over, and then he secretly sent someone to stab the matter to Zhu Xianling. At that time, he was killed by Zhu Xianling, and Zhu Xianling, a person who had no discipline for money, did not know that his shopkeeper Zhou covered up the identity of the corpse. Later, he reported the matter to the Shangguan in Beijing, and with his knowledge of Zhu County's order after so many years of operating jade in Yushan County, he could even directly hand over the bribery account book of the jade store to the Beijing official who came to investigate Zhu County's order.

After all, the shopkeeper of the jade store Zhou was far away from the capital with emotional injuries due to the tragic death of his wife, and his whereabouts are difficult to identify. The county magistrate who investigated the case, the master, and the servant were all dead or sent to the army. Even if anyone wants to investigate this matter in detail, where will they start? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhengqing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he was even more angry.

Such a painstaking calculation of other people's lives.

Li Zhengqing slammed the table, and the tea from the teacup splashed out and fell on the word 'Pei' written by Lin Yaoyue.

He couldn't help but think slightly, and pointed to the word 'Pei', and Lin Yaoyue immediately understood. I only heard Li Zhengqing ask lightly, "What about this person and the person in the palace?"

Lin Yaoyue replied respectfully, "This is a scene of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, but I don't know who the real yellow finch is." ”

Li Zhengqing looked at Lin Yaoyue and couldn't help but think slightly. The human heart is indeed the most elusive thing, and the so-called promises and alliances are only temporary connections established according to their own interests.

It's justβ€”

Thinking of this, Li Zhengqing raised his eyebrows coldly, hurting so many innocent people, which he couldn't bear. As an official, he should put the people first. They only think about their own interests, but they have ever thought about the lives of these ordinary ordinary people, their parents, wives and children, their joys and sorrows. It's really hateful.

Li Zhengqing thought about it for a while, and said to Lin Yaoyue, "This case is already clear, and the official has a promise first." I will do what you want to do, and I won't let Queen Xu's secret be known to His Majesty. It will also immediately lift the blockade of the Lin family's jade mine, so that you can turn over the supply of Xuanlin Jade Bank. It's just that the power of the person in the palace is quite large, and the official has to slowly figure it out and let His Majesty know. ”

Lin Yaoyue felt relieved in her heart, it was not easy to resume jade mining and live up to the trust of the Xu family. If Lord Li Zhengqing, who is very trusted by the emperor, is willing to expose the true face of Concubine Pei Xian in front of the emperor, presumably the hidden danger of Concubine Pei Xian's power being seized has already been planted.

The cause and effect of this matter was temporarily suppressed silently, but the people of Yushan County were happy, because Zhu County ordered corruption and bribery, bullying men and women, and was removed from his official position and sent to the capital for trial. And the so-called 'Zhou shopkeeper' of the Beijing Jade Firm, who designed this bureau, was also expanded, and the sea supplement documents were issued and arrested everywhere.

But to the displeasure of all the noble ladies and ladies in the capital, the best rouge shops in the capital were all closed overnight, and there was no news. But if they saw the appearance of Mrs. Zhou, the owner of the jade shop, before she died, they probably wouldn't want to use that 'shocking grease' again.

Lin Yaoyue turned her gaze to the car, but was moved back by a slender and white hand.

four eyes facing each other,

In the three kingdoms of Kyushu, no one knows, no one knows, the iron-faced Dawan Regent, the blue phoenix eyes at this time the brilliance flowed to the extreme, he gently raised Lin Yaoyue's chin,

As if she was looking closer, Lin Yaoyue could clearly feel that the breath between them was intertwined, and the temperature couldn't help but rise.

"Blushing", his tone was extremely flat, but with a hint of cold seduction. Lin Yaoyue clearly saw the narrow smile in Murong Jinfeng's eyes.

"Because it's too hot in the carriage. Lin Yaoyue was a little weak-hearted. She swallowed, shrank back, and then pointed to the nine stoves that Murong Jin had moved for her.

"That's probably too much, my lord. ”

I saw Murong Jinfeng's eyes smiling, and tapped the tip of Lin Yaoyue's nose, "This has a meaning, this king and Yue'er will last for a long time." ”

Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but feel slightly, looking at Murong Jin and pointing at himself with a childish face, and then pointed at his own heart.

Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but have a hint of amusement, could this really be the regent of Dawan who was not smiling and not close to women? At this time, if his demeanor and actions were seen by the guards guarding him outside the car, they would definitely think that his master had been dropped by others.

The corners of Lin Yaoyue's lips pursed slightly, and her long eyelashes covered her careful thoughts at this time. saw that Murong Jin handed over a small wooden card at this time,

"This is the chief steward of the Xu family who asked this king to hand it over to you. He hurried back to Xuchang Ruan, you know. ”

Lin Yaoyue took the wooden card and frowned slightly, "Lord Wang, do you know the secret of the Xu family." ”

When Murong Jin heard this, his phoenix eyes flashed with amazing grace in an instant. He gently pulled Lin Yaoyue into his arms and kissed her forehead, "Those six people are not just ordinary retainers, it is said that their bodies hide the secrets of the Xu family in the northern realm. Therefore, Empress Xu must summon them every five years. Concubine Pei Xian was also calm this time, but she had been planning painstakingly for many years, and now the credit is all on Yue'er. ”

Lin Yaoyue looked down at the wooden card in her hand, rubbing it slightly, and couldn't help but feel the slight touch of her fingertips, the complex patterns, which were really exquisite.

It's just that what kind of secret is hidden by the Xu family that has caused so many people to lose their lives for this, Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but sigh lightly and fell into thought.
