Chapter 144: The Wind Rises
"Since it's dead, it's dead, this case is over, we already have that person's confession, presumably the empress won't blame, you can deal with the rest yourself, there are still other things in my house, I will retire first."
After a long time, Xu Yuan said in a dumb voice, and left on his own without waiting for Gu Chenghan to say anything, without any memory.
Looking at the departing figure, Zhen Chutian fell into deep thought, and glanced at the puppet that had just been summoned by himself, Zhen Chutian apologized and let them leave on their own.
took the confession in Yu Linglong's hand, and read it carefully, only then did he feel that he didn't need to read it, but at this time, he had to read it, such twists and turns, presumably it would not be too simple.
"Go down, Zhen Chutian will come with this official."
Glancing at the subordinates who were still planning to continue to pestle in front of him, Gu Chenghan didn't want to continue to talk to them.
"Wait a minute, this case will be closed according to the confession, and the natural phenomena that Zhen Chutian said will also be written, as for the rest, you can make your own decisions, just leave it to me after writing."
The closure of the case has always been in charge of Yu Linglong, and Gu Chenghan would not care about it in the past, but this time it was different, and after seeing Yu Linglong nodding, she didn't continue to speak, turned around and walked into the study with Zhen Chutian.
Gu Chenghan has always been in the study in Tiandu Mansion, but on weekdays, the study never lets people in at will, but Zhen Chutian didn't know about this, and he didn't notice it when he followed Gu Chenghan with the confession letter.
Until he entered the study, without waiting for Gu Chenghan to speak, Zhen Chutian found a chair and sat down, quietly looking at the confession in his hand, seeing that Zhen Chutian was so serious, Gu Chenghan rarely didn't open his mouth to disturb, just stood by the window and watched the magnolia flowers fall with the wind outside the window.
I have never felt that the falling flowers are so desolate, Gu Chenghan rarely feels as if he is a little tired, in the past, he liked to be so high-spirited in the court, but at this time, he was a little disgusted.
"The case is not closed, but it has to be closed."
Zhen Chutian has always seen things clearly, and after thinking carefully about the case of the ghost fire Brahma in his mind, in the silent room, this is the first sentence Zhen Chutian said.
Calling Gu Chenghan's thoughts back, he couldn't help but glance at Zhen Chutian and motioned for Zhen Chutian to continue.
"The man who died in the cell today is the person we caught from Da Xian Mountain, in the final analysis, that person was arrested on purpose, and that cave is not an ordinary cave, what is said in the confession is true."
Zhen Chutian handed the confession in his hand to Gu Chenghan.
Raising an eyebrow, he took it, looked at it at a glance, and then put it aside, seemingly unconcerned.
"It has been a long time since the first ghost fire victim, there are dozens of people in the cave, and there are only a dozen people who died in the capital, Xu Yuan said before, he had inadvertently known that the person came down from Da Xian Mountain, and the people who were rescued that day and turned into blood and water today are also related to Da Xian Mountain, so it can be suspected that those people were deliberately put down."
Everything Zhen Chutian said was speculation, but it also made sense, and the evidence was just words that he didn't know from others.
Gu Chenghan didn't say much, but continued to signal Zhen Chutian to continue.
"What I said is just speculation, but only in this way can it be reasonable, the world says that the people on the mountain can't get out, but they came out, but when they came out, they were really far away from the village fifty miles away from the mountain, and that village is the village you and I have seen today, we don't care about the village for the time being, but those people who are said to have come down from the mountain are all dead, and they all died under the ghost fire."
"I thought it was a natural phenomenon, but white phosphorus powder never appeared in places where there were many dead people, or where the yin qi was extremely strong, but those people died in the capital, this place where the yang energy is strong, so these are all those people operating in secret, and now there will be people to confess their guilt just because they have already killed all the people they sent down, so they don't need ghost fire anymore, and there is no way to use ghost fire to kill people, after all, white phosphorus powder is extremely rare."
Although it was speculation, Gu Chenghan felt that everything was as Zhen Chutian said, and what he originally thought was the same as what Zhen Chutian thought, but some things that were not clear became clearer because of Zhen Chutian's words.
"Why did you go to such a long time and finally surrender yourself? Purely to kill those people? If that's all they had, why did they waste so much effort to take them so far from Da Hyeon? ”
He also understood what Zhen Chutian said, but he couldn't figure out how the person behind it would use so much effort to do these things.
"Lord Gu has never heard of this rumor?"
Zhen Chutian glanced at Gu Chenghan more when he heard this, and his eyes widened slightly to describe his doubts.
It was indeed Gu Chenghan who had never heard of rumors, but Gu Chenghan, who had always done his own thing, suddenly felt that his actions were very wrong, and he couldn't help but have some self-doubt.
"Why not?"
"No wonder I can't figure out why."
Zhen Chutian didn't look at Gu Chenghan anymore, but he was still a little unaccustomed to Gu Chenghan's behavior between his words.
"The empress is the first empress of the Chifeng Kingdom, right? Throughout the ages, it is just that the empress thinks that women are the emperor's kings, and the men who have always been high have long been accustomed to the idea of male superiority and inferiority, and they are naturally more unconvinced by being dominated by the empress like this. ”
These words are just to the point, but how smart Gu Chenghan is, he naturally knows what Zhen Chutian's unfinished words mean.
"So it is rumored that the empress has taken a big taboo to be the emperor of the world, right? That's why there are so many people in the capital who have been burned by heaven with ghost fire, right? ”
was already in a high position, and he had heard these nonsense words, but Gu Chenghan had never taken him seriously, but he never thought that some things that he should not do would be used like this behind his back.
Although the empress is now a woman, she is better than a man in governing the Chifeng Kingdom, even Gu Chenghan, who has always been above the top, admires it, but not everyone thinks so.
"Naturally, it is passed on like this, even if the empress is enlightened, there are more people who believe in the gods, and the water can also carry a boat or overturn the boat, and the people are equivalent to this water, as long as there are more people who are not used to seeing and overthrowing the empress, then the people behind this can get what they want casually, isn't it very simple?"
Seeing this, Zhen Chutian didn't force Gu Chenghan too much, after all, the person in front of him was also a man, and he was still a man in an important position, although Fang Cai's words were explained to Gu Chenghan, it was better to say that he was also testing Gu Chenghan.
"The change of monarch is often accompanied by a river of blood, the people behind this are so deep-minded, I think the empress should also be aware of it, so what do you think of this case now?"
Originally, he brought Zhen Chutian to the capital to do some things at most, because Gu Chenghan felt that he was very good at asking shamelessly.
"Now even if we want to continue to investigate, there is no way, this is what I just said, this case is now closed, and if it is not closed, it must be closed."
Zhen Chutian looked a little restrained, but there was nothing else in his eyes when he looked at Gu Chenghan, and Gu Chenghan couldn't do anything if he wanted to know something from it.
"Hehe, Zhen Guo is really smart and clever."
The two tacitly agreed, as for the confession, it was put away by Gu Chenghan, and the rest of the things had nothing to do with Zhen Chutian, after a day of exhaustion, Zhen Chutian returned to the courtyard where he lived in the capital after leaving Tiandu Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Han Shuangyi, who was quick-eyed, and after hearing the sound, Granny Xuan stood in the distance and looked at the door with a smile, Granny Xuan thought that it was the place at the door.
"Mother-in-law."
picked Shuangyi up from the ground, but Zhen Chutian found that it was only a few days, and Han Shuangyi seemed to be a little heavier.
"Chu Tian is back, the food will be ready soon, but I'm hungry after a day outside."
Now that Zhen Chutian has entered the capital, the days when he goes home every day are different, and this is still a normal day.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, what are those things in your hands?"
Looking at the lines under Granny Xuan's feet, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but feel a little big, and he really couldn't figure out how Granny Xuan was blind, how to separate those lines and eyes, and how to embroider these things.
"Didn't Master Gu introduce some embroidery work to the old body? The old body has nothing to do when he is idle, so he doesn't take it out to make some preparations. ”
Although Gu Chenghan took Granny Xuan to Gu Chenghan's house that day, but then Zhen Chutian didn't care much, now it seems that they have talked about it relatively well, so it's okay, Granny Xuan has her own things to do, and she won't keep thinking about it at home.
After dinner, Zhen Chutian went back to the back room to rest, but now she needs to think about her next path.
The Ghost Fire Brahma case is now over, but there seems to be a big case behind it, the seemingly calm capital is full of traps, a case that can give Gu Chenghan a little headache, she is just a small catch, how to deal with herself.
Probably thinking about it day and night, Zhen Chutian felt groggy all night, dreaming one after another, but he couldn't wake up for a long time, and the sky was still bright when he woke up completely.
The case has just been closed now, and there is no major event for a while, otherwise this should not be late for a few days, I am afraid that it will be a very unpleasant word to say.
Freshen up, Zhen Chutian still went to Tiandu Mansion, Zhen Chutian was still a little worried about yesterday's incident Gu Chenghan, the clues are broken for Zhen Chutian, who doesn't know much about the inside story, but those people in the center of political power know, and maybe there will be a trace of guessing about the people behind it.
I thought there would be something big, but a day or two has passed, but the whole capital is tight, if there are some changes, it should be that there are more people who come to Tiandu to thank them.
This ghost fire Brahma case has been plaguing the people of the capital for a long time, and after the case was solved, the people naturally worshiped the imperial court and the Tiandu Mansion a little more.
I don't know that this ghost fire doesn't seem to have any rules, but in fact, it has always had its own goals, and he didn't say something deeper, but he just hung up the person who died in the dungeon of Tiandu Mansion that day as a murderer, and committed suicide in fear of sin, which also made that person lose the tongue of many people.
After a few days of quiet, Gu Chenghan's mother's birthday banquet was also held along the day.
I had no intention of going, but I was repeatedly explained by Granny Xuan, even if I didn't like it, I had to change my clothes and go to Shengfu with the birthday banquet gift prepared by Granny Xuan.
