Chapter 169: Repair the book and return to the capital

Zhen Chutian had already closed his eyes, but he still spoke to Gu Chenghan, as if he was afraid that if he didn't speak to Gu Chenghan, Gu Chenghan would run away.

"Sleep in peace, I'm here with you."

The loneliness in his eyes was not concealed at all, Rao is Gu Chenghan, a person who didn't care much about other people's thoughts since he was a child, also wanted to know what Zhen Chutian had experienced in the past that he had never participated in.

Today's Chifeng Kingdom is the empress in power, although all women in the world can enter the court as officials, but the law has been issued, but the idea of male superiority and inferiority has long been ingrained, how can the older generation of people want their children to come out like this.

Fulai County is not bad, at least there is no such thing as a woman, but Gu Chenghan has also seen a lot, thinking about it like this, looking at Zhen Chutian on the bed, he has a little more pity.

The woman on the bed was already asleep, but Gu Chenghan didn't want to leave, so she found a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhen Chutian's gaze and the affection that others had never received.

When Yu Linglong and the others returned to the inn, they couldn't find any trace of Gu Chenghan, and finally under the guidance of the shopkeeper, they looked at the door that had been closed, which was Zhen Chutian's room.

Several people couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Zhen Chutian didn't know about these episodes, but after Zhen Chutian woke up, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Yu Linglong and a few people looking at him.

"What's going on? But what happened somewhere I don't know? ”

The always cold appearance rarely leaked out of the ignorance, which gave Yu Linglong a great opportunity to watch a good show.

"Ahem."

When Gu Chenghan came down, he saw the scene of several of his subordinates surrounding Zhen Chutian, and he couldn't help but look pale.

A few people who were still watching the show just now swarmed away, and even Han Shuangyi left with Yu Linglong.

"What's wrong?"

I thought that Gu Chenghan knew something, but when he saw Gu Chenghan's equally confused gaze, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but smile, it wasn't a big deal, probably because he did something when he was confused, and he didn't want to think about it if he couldn't figure it out.

Although it was lively, but in fact, it didn't last long, seeing that Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan didn't have any Polish expressions with calm faces, a few people in the distance sat back slowly.

"What is the progress of the Prime Minister's case? What did the raiders find when they searched outside the mansion? ”

After mentioning the right thing, several people became more serious, and even Song Jiang kept sitting on the sidelines, thinking carefully.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, and there's nothing to suspect anyone."

The white dragon envoy glanced at Yu Linglong and replied.

"Could this time it have something to do with the empress?"

No one spoke for a long time, and they seemed to be thinking about how to investigate this case, and then they heard Zhen Chutian's words, which were originally on the table where no one spoke, but it was even quieter at this time.

Zhen Chutian's suspicion was really a little too much, and he couldn't help but look at Zhen Chutian strangely, this inspection was ordered by the empress, if this case was secretly manipulated by the empress, why would the empress let Tiandu Mansion come forward? Isn't that a shot in the foot?

"Tell me about it."

Gu Chenghan was a little curious about why Zhen Chutian would say such words, after all, no one could suspect the empress.

"The prime minister seems to have a daughter in the capital, do you know about this?"

"The prime minister does have a daughter in the capital, but how do you know? What happened to the daughter? What does this matter have to do with the prime minister's daughter? ”

I asked out what I was wondering about.

"In that case, you should also know about the husband of the concubine, who seems to have committed a capital crime, right? Because of the relationship between the prime minister, she was spared, but the concubine seemed to be very dissatisfied with this, and even wanted the empress to release her husband from the prison. ”

There is no need for Zhen Chutian to say more about the rest of the words, several people are not stupid, after listening to these words, what Zhen Chutian said does have some truth, there is no clue about this matter, and anyone who is related to the prime minister should also have some doubts.

"Tell me to go down, let those who are free in the capital go and investigate this matter, remember to act secretly, and never be discovered by the empress."

Gu Chenghan just hesitated, and did not rule out the possibility that Zhen Chutian had just said, if this was the case, no one would be able to guess the empress's thoughts, but it didn't matter if she couldn't guess correctly, the most important thing was whether she could be played by the empress.

Seeing Gu Chenghan supporting him like this, Zhen Chutian's heart warmed slightly, once this was known by the empress, Gu Chenghan would definitely be implicated from the beginning, so Gu Chenghan was still so firm, it would be all a lie to say that he was not moved.

The empress has already ordered someone to go down to investigate, and now they are far away in Lizhou, and they don't know anything about the situation in the capital, so they can only entrust Gu Chenghan's henchmen who are far away in the capital.

"Wait a minute, don't rush yet."

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Zhen Chutian hurriedly stopped Yu Linglong, who was about to go out.

"What?"

"Don't worry, we don't know whether the empress is involved in this matter, but now that we want to trouble the capital, it is better to find a few people who also have a motive to commit the crime."

Gu Chenghan didn't have any objection to this, Yu Linglong saw that Gu Chenghan was doing a good job listening to Zhen Chutian's words, and couldn't help but hurriedly walked over to look at Zhen Chutian.

"The little girl is not talented, I once remembered that the court in this capital seems to be divided into several major factions, I don't know if you know that the former prime minister is in that faction, presumably with such a big official position as the prime minister, how can he be one of the several people headed by him, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Chenghan's gaze at Zhen Chutian was even more gloomy, although it was gloomy, there was a lot of worry in his eyes, these are all tacit things, Zhen Chutian said it so unscrupulously, you must be careful that the wall has ears.

Stopping Zhen Chutian, who still wanted to continue asking, Gu Chenghan signaled the white dragon envoy and took a few people up to the second floor of the inn and entered his room.

was a little stunned by Gu Chenghan's nervous movements, but when he sat down, when he saw the White Dragon Envoy walking in and nodding towards Gu Chenghan, Zhen Chutian understood why Gu Chenghan would interrupt him.

Zhen Chutian, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, has recently been deliberately connived at by Gu Chenghan, and naturally knows that the few people around him are people he can trust, so Zhen Chutian didn't think too much.

"Thank you."

Even if he did it silently, since Zhen Chutian knew Gu Chenghan's intentions, it was naturally impossible not to know what he was doing.

"No, continue what you just said."

It can be said that his face is expressionless, but Zhen Chutian saw the seriousness in Gu Chenghan's expression, carefully recalled the words that he wanted to continue to say, and carefully sifted through some in his mind before continuing.

"Who is the biggest beneficiary of the prime minister's violent death? A former prime minister resigned and returned to his hometown, to put it bluntly, he withdrew from the imperial court, the former prime minister I also inquired about some, the wind has always been excellent, even the people are very trusting of the prime minister, the case of the ghost fire Brahma has been rumored that it is because the empress is the emperor, so there will be so many words and chaos, maybe their purpose is the same, pretending to make the prime minister's death look very weird, in pushing these to the head of the ghosts and gods, so that the empress can be blocked, this may be a purpose. ”

"But why do you want to bring the prime minister's eldest son?"

"One kills, two are also kills, think about it from another angle, if the prime minister is not buried, and his son dies violently in the same way, is it more conducive to his own speech?"

Zhen Chutian's eyes were like looking at an idiot, but it was a pity that Yu Linglong was immersed in Zhen Chutian's words at this time, and she couldn't help but look up at Zhen Chutian.

"There is some truth, but these are all speculations, can't be true, wait back to investigate well, you know today's words, and don't let others know the rest! How to write a letter back to the capital? ”

Gu Chenghan didn't say much, just glanced at Yu Linglong, "I know, master, don't worry, I know the severity." "Even if it was accidentally leaked, it was Zhen Chutian's idea not to mention it.

However, Yu Linglong didn't dare to say this sentence in front of Zhen Chutian, and only dared to promise silently in her heart.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, by the way, Song Jiang, I remember you asked the old lady before, is it that the Prime Minister has been drinking alcohol recently, and it is a little excessive, I don't know why you ask like this?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Zhen Chutian asked Song Jiang, who had been in a daze.

Things like autopsies can still help, but once it comes to other things, Song Jiang is like listening to a book from heaven, just because he doesn't know what he should do, so he got together, and when he saw Zhen Chutian asking, he couldn't help but mention his spirit.

"Naturally, there is, the golden arrow is not the fatal wound of the prime minister."

Death looks the same, but it's very different? No one spoke, but they all looked at Song Jiang strangely.

"The fatal wound is not an arrow wound, the prime minister died of Manluo flower poison, but the prime minister's sister-in-law is not."

"Died from Manroe? Catalyzed by the prime minister's daily drinking? ”

Silence, has always been silent, Zhen Chutian muttered.

"Yes."

Then why did the scars on Liansan's corpse collide together? Could it be that it's all a coincidence.

"The arrow left on the corpse was left, and we can't find any useful information on it?"

Song Jiang saw that no one was talking, so he asked his thoughts again.

"That arrow is not worth our investigation, it's just an ordinary thing, there is no way to investigate it, the method is too professional like a killer on the rivers and lakes who will sell his life as long as he gives money, and he will not be able to find a trace, if we find these cases, we can only consider ourselves unlucky, but the poison in the prime minister's body is our only entry point for handling cases."

This is also one of the difficulties in the case of Lizhou.

"Let's go to the prime minister's mansion today and stay, the person who can poison the prime minister every day for three years must be the person trusted by the prime minister's side, and that person must still be in the mansion."

Zhen Chutian thought about it and said, they have checked everything they should have checked in the past few days, and the rest can only have the answer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After packing up their baggage, a few people walked towards the prime minister's mansion, and the doorman guarding the door had long been accustomed to the few people in front of him, so he saw Gu Chenghan and a few people, and almost let a few people walk in after interrogation.

"Master Gu, why did you come so early today?"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the housekeeper who was rushing and didn't know what he was holding, and he stopped after seeing Gu Chenghan and a few people, but the things in his hand couldn't help but go back a little.

"There's nothing to do outside the house, so come and check it out early."

Yu Linglong stepped forward to catch the housekeeper's words, while Gu Chenghan lowered his brows and didn't know what he was thinking.
