Chapter 63: The Second Layer of Truth
Under the shadow of the lamp, there was a faint beautiful face, "Lin family girl, this official suggests that you still don't meddle in this matter." Li Zhengqing said sharply to Lin Yaoyue.
Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "My lord, this matter is the mastermind behind the scenes who pulled the little girl in, not that the little girl wants to step into the whirlpool of power." I'm sure you'll know if you think about it. ”
Li Zhengqing carefully looked at Lin Yaoyue's sincere face, thinking in his heart.
Yes, Lin Yaoyue was right, they threw the body in the Lin family's jade mine, and the Lin family had to clean it up anyway. It's just that it's her Lin Yaoyue, the hottest celebrity in Shangjing at the moment. But whether it is Lin Yaoyue, who is about to become the crown prince's concubine, or Lin Yaoyue, who is the rumored disciple of Lingbao Tianzun in the market, or Lin Yaoyue, who is the eldest daughter of Lin Chaoyang, the general of the current dynasty. Lin Yaoyue's three words are now the representative of the halo.
Li Zhengqing couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "This official will not believe what you said just because you saved this official, and I hope you know." ”
"Yes, sir. Let's go back to the post station first, there are some things that are inconvenient to say outside. Lin Yaoyue responded respectfully, and now, she not only has to tell the truth, but also protect the Xu family from harm.
This is what she promised to do, and it is also a second-hand preparation for the possible impending disaster in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Li Zhengqing bowed slightly when he heard this.
After entering the post station room, Lin Yaoyue looked at Li Zhengqing on the right seat and said softly,
"Lord Li, this matter should not be in court, I believe you know it. Lin Yaoyue's eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be hiding anything.
Li Zhengqingzai carefully observed Lin Yaoyue for a while, but said, "To the surprise of people who go to Beijing, it turns out that the famous time-honored brand Xuanlin Yuxing in the capital is actually the property of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. ”
Lin Yaoyue arched her hand slightly and said, "Don't dare to hide Lord Li, Xuanlin Yuxing is the Lin family's industry." But since his grandfather's time, he has strictly obeyed the oath of returning scholars to scholars and returning merchants to merchants, and never dared to cross them. ”
Li Zhengqing bowed slightly, "This official is clear, otherwise he would not have discovered the relationship between Xuanlin Yuxing and the Zhenguo General's Mansion until now." It's just that this official is not the Zhu County Order of Yushan County, and this official knows that he has the emperor's order, and he doesn't dare to live up to the grace of God at any time. I don't know if you understand what the official said. ”
"Master Li, the little girl understands. But this matter is related to the foundation of the country. The little girl also hopes that Master Li can think carefully. ”
"Okay, this official will deal with it impartially. Say it. ”
Lin Yaoyue paused slightly, and then said directly, "Your Excellency should have guessed the identity of the only woman who died." ”
Li Zhengqing was shocked when he heard this, he thought that Lin Yaoyue would make a slight detour and then guide to the center, but he didn't expect that Lin Yaoyue was worthy of being a son and daughter of the general, decisive and straightforward.
"Yes, the officer understood as soon as he saw the messengers bring back the bag. ”
"Yes, the Xu family is special, and it also has the queen mother's famous double-sided heterochromatic embroidery. That maid is worthy of being a person who followed the queen into the palace since she was a child from the Xu family. The skill of double-sided heterochromatic embroidery is really excellent. ”
"You don't intend to hide the relationship between the Xu family and this case, this official is deeply grateful. ”
"My lord, since Yaoyue said it, she will tell the truth to your adults and ask for real justice, and she will never break her word. ”
Li Zhengqing bowed slightly when he heard this, "The official also promised you that even if there is any disregard in the truth, the official will punish him from the way of heaven and justice, and will not investigate the subtleties." ”
"Yes, sir. Then let's start with the misunderstood identity of the cat demon of this palace maid. ”
Li Zhengqing bowed slightly.
"That maid is the palace maid in Queen Xu's palace who raised the purebred exotic black cat for Queen Xu, and she left the palace this time because of a secret of the Xu family. ”
"Secret?"
"Yes, Queen Xu has not come out for so many years, and it is really not easy to sit in the back seat, so those five corpses, on the surface, are a few middle-aged men who fled from the Beiyi countries, but in fact, they are the retainers of the Xu family who secretly defend Queen Xu. And because Empress Xu herself was inconvenient in the deep palace, the maid was the confidant sent by Empress Xu to see the retainers this time. ”
Li Zhengqing nodded, he could imagine it. But I know more about the reason why Queen Xu has no children and no daughters for so many years, but there is no evidence in the world.
Lin Yaoyue looked at Li Zhengqing's appearance and knew that he had obviously listened to his words, so she stepped forward and wrote a word in a cup of tea.
Li Zhengqing looked at the strokes drawn by Lin Yaoyue's fingertips, and his heart was very clear. As he thought, the Xu family was implicated by this, or that Queen Xu was about to be implicated, everything was just the careful design of Concubine Pei Xian.
"And by your side, there are her spies. Lin Yaoyue pointed to the word 'Pei'.
Li Zhengqing bowed, "This official knows that the messengers have just seized the bag that can point to Empress Xu from Shangyao Village, and there was an incident in which the villagers of Shangyao Village were attacked by night cats. That man was decisive and ruthless. ”
"Yes, according to Gu County Cheng's statistics, there may be a total of nearly 50 villagers killed and injured in this night cat incident. ”
Wen Yan, Li Zhengqing's expression was very serious, with a trace of determination to investigate thoroughly to the end, "This official will never let go of such a murderer." When the time comes, the official will let the Holy Lord know the man's sinister thoughts. ”
"Master Xie. Lin Yaoyue was happy at the moment, but she still said with a calm face on her face.
Li Zhengqing frowned slightly at this time, "But how did you find out that those five people are from the Beiyi Kingdoms?"
Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but smile, "My lord, it's not just the five dead who died. The shopkeeper of the jade shop, Zhou, is probably also one of the retainers of the Xu family. ”
Hearing this, Li Zhengqing couldn't help but be surprised, "The shopkeeper of the jade shop Zhou is also too?"
"Yes, Master Lee. And he is also one of the culprits this time. ”
When Li Zhengqing heard this, although he was still confused, he couldn't help but suppress his doubts first, and waited for Lin Yaoyue to answer part of it first.
Lin Yaoyue frowned slightly, "At first, Yaoyue's suspicion was because I saw the six white skeletons above the public court, and the torso of the upper limbs was generally more than seven feet. It's not like our people from the Central Plains. Moreover, Mrs. Zhou's words yesterday happened to prove this from the side. As for that week, according to the villagers of Shangyao Village, that is, the time when Empress Xu's maid came here. In less than a month, the corpses were reduced to blackened white bones. This made Yaoyue can't help but feel a little worried in her heart, this is probably something that some of them want to cover up.
But Yaoyue clearly knew that the person who did this would not be the person in the palace. Because she hoped that Empress Xu's personal maid would be found dead with five foreigners from Beiyi. So she sent someone to follow Queen Xu's maid all the way and kill her. But she wouldn't destroy the flesh of the bones.
This is just pity for Mrs. Zhou. ”
Lin Yaoyue's words changed, and Li Zhengqing couldn't react slightly to what Lin Yaoyue meant by this, but looking at Lin Yaoyue's slightly frowning eyebrows, he thought that although Fang Cai's fake errand was trying to lure him out, Mrs. Zhou, who was in the jade shop, must have really died in prison.
"You mean to say that the shopkeeper killed his wife that week?"
Lin Yaoyue nodded her head, "Infatuated people are short-lived. ”
