Chapter 81: Don't Worry
Regarding the reason given by Caiyun, Lu Xuan was noncommittal and continued to listen to her.
"I agreed on this matter with Tao Gongzi according to the guest's instructions, and when one day the guest came to me and said that I could act, I sent Yingying to deliver a message to Tao Gongzi, and then ......" Caiyun was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Then within two days, I heard the news of the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue. β
Back then, the Eldest Princess's Mansion almost turned over the capital in order to find the Lord of Yingyue, and even places like Jinshui River were not spared.
The so-called reputation and rumors are all bullshit for the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and nothing is as important as finding the Lord of Yingyue back.
Because of this, almost everyone in the capital knows about the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue, and no one knows about it, and people talk about it for a lot after tea and dinner before it subsides.
"At that time, I was very scared, and I always suspected that the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue had something to do with what the guest had confessed. Tao Gongzi also became suspicious and came to me to question, and during that time he came several times one after another, and it became more and more difficult for me to deal with. One day the guest came again, and he told meβ"
Under the gaze of the four eyes, Caiyun said slowly with a white face: "He asked me to kill people and kill people to prevent future troubles." β
"Tao Ming went to a painting boat called Hongxing Pavilion on the day he drowned, and he didn't go to Yunyu Xiaozhu to tell me how you did it." Lu Xuan said lightly.
Caiyun became more and more frightened, but the other party knew so much, and the words had already been said here, so naturally there was no need to hide it.
She tugged at the corners of her lips, and her smile was bitter: "That night, there was a Qing Qi in the Red Apricot Pavilion who entertained guests for the first time, and there were many guests, and I made an appointment with Tao Gongzi to meet there." β
"Wait a minute." Lin Xiao interrupted Caiyun's words, and his face was suspicious, "Miss Caiyun's daughter went in disguise?" β
Caiyun nodded: "I pretended to be an ordinary scholar." β
"You are the flower girl of Yunyu Xiaozhu, don't you think it's strange to meet Tao Ming in Hongxing Pavilion?"
"I told him that the reason why I asked him to provoke Yang Wen was related to Hongxing Pavilion, if he wanted to know the answer he had been asking these days, I told him in Hongxing Pavilion, and he naturally agreed."
The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.
This woman was so terrible that she ate the scholar to death.
"We went separately, and there were a lot of guests who went that day, and people like us who were dressed in ordinary clothes went unnoticed. After a few glasses of wine, I asked Tao Gongzi to go outside to talk by the railing, and at that time people were all busy in the hall, so I found the opportunity to push him down......" Caiyun recalled the past, his face pale.
"Even if you are unprepared, it is not easy for you to push a man into the water by a weak woman, right?" Lin Xiao asked again.
Caiyun lowered his eyes and said: "Tao Gongzi is not tall, and he is also very thin, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he has the intention of drinking, and it is not difficult to succeed." β
Lin Xiao looked at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
He inquired about the situation, Tao Ming's body shape characteristics were indeed the same.
"According to the news I got, Tao Ming didn't drink very much, and he was already suspicious of you at that time, so he was not in a hurry to ask things clearly when he met him, and he still had the heart to drink?"
Caiyun glanced at Lu Xuan with strange eyes: "After all, I have a relationship with Tao Gongzi, so what's so difficult to lead him to drink a few glasses of wine?" β
This indifferent young adult, who is as cold as frost, shouldn't he still understand the affairs of Fengyue?
Lu Xuan twisted his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiao, with a question in his eyes: Is there really such a stupid man?
Lin Xiao looked at his partner expressionlessly.
How does he know!
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Lu Xuan asked casually: "How do you get out afterwards?" β
"It's simpler. When he sank, I shouted, 'Someone has fallen overboard,' and quietly left the Red Apricot Pavilion while people were gathering. β
"Who's that guest?"
Caiyun shook his head: "The slave family is not very clear. β
"I don't know?"
Caiyun said helplessly: "When you come to a place like Yunyu Xiaozhu, not all guests will report their homes. β
"That man made you do such a big thing, and you said you didn't know who that person was. Miss Caiyun, I'm going to doubt the sincerity of your confession. Lu Xuan said with a warning.
Caiyun frowned, trying to recall: "That guest seems to be a merchant who doesn't stay in the capital for a long time every year. He called himself Master Zhu...... By the way, once I met an acquaintance on the painting boat, and the slave family heard that person call him Brother Chengye......"
"Miss Caiyun, I don't know a lot." The boy seemed to be smiling.
Caiyun was angry and hateful, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Brother Lin, if you have anything you want to ask, continue to interrogate, and I'll check that person."
Seeing the young man walking out quickly, Caiyun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of the fate he was about to face, and his expression was gloomy.
Lu Xuan left the yamen of the criminal department and went directly to the Qingxin Teahouse.
Feng Cheng was already waiting for his eyes to penetrate, and when he saw the young man appear, he almost rushed over.
"How?"
Looking at the girl's forcibly stopped body, Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Judging from his years of experience in martial arts, Miss Feng's action just now was to pounce, right?
Throw yourself into his arms?
Realizing this, the teenager hesitated.
Miss Feng, wouldn't this be too direct?
They weren't that acquainted yet, and if she did, what would he do?
"Why doesn't Master Lu speak?" Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't know what to think of, Feng Cheng opened his mouth to urge.
Lu Xuan came back to his senses and said quietly: "Caiyun admitted to killing Yingying, and also admitted to killing Tao Ming, and confessed that a guest named Zhu Chengye instructed her to do this. β
Feng Cheng was surprised: "You can ask so much?" β
"Hmm." The boy nodded reservedly.
"No wonder Grand Master Lu said that your friend surnamed Lin is a good hand in investigating the case of the Criminal Department, and the interrogation is really smooth-" Feng Cheng said as he said, and found that the other party's face was a little wrong.
With what she knows about someone - understood, exaggerated wrong!
Feng Cheng's tone changed: "But fortunately, it is still thanks to Grand Master Lu, there has been no clue for the disappearance of the Lord of Yingyue for three years, and there is progress as soon as Grand Prince Lu intervenes......"
After listening to Feng Cheng's praise quietly, the young man felt comfortable, and said reservedly: "Now that this Zhu Chengye is the key, I will start investigating." Miss Feng shouldn't wait in the teahouse, let's go home early. β
Of course, Feng Cheng knew that it was not appropriate to go out for too long, and there was no point in waiting here, so he nodded.
"I'll contact you if there's progress." The young man cleared his throat and said in a casual tone, "Miss Feng, don't be too anxious. β
Hugging or something, he thinks it's too early.
Seeing the young man walking away quickly, Feng Cheng fell into deep thought: What does it mean to ask her not to be too anxious?
Do you think she is too eager to find out the truth about the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue?
Forget it, don't want to.
For such a trivial matter, Feng Cheng didn't take it seriously, took out a small dried fish from his purse and ate it, and clapped his hands: "Little fish, go home." β
