Chapter 285: Deliberately Falling into a Trap
When Lu Yuan heard Shi Yingqiu say this, his face changed suddenly.
He never thought that because of his own negligence, it would lead to such serious consequences.
Especially when he heard that Ye Junhao was now trapped in the prison by those people, the worried look on his face became even more obvious.
"Lu Yuan, listen to me, now is definitely not the time for any of us to blame anyone, I know that your original intention is that you will never harm the prince, but the matter has happened, and the only thing we can do now is to find out the murderer behind this scene as soon as possible and return the prince's innocence." Shi Yingqiu took a deep breath as she spoke, her eyes full of worry.
According to Ye Junhao's current situation, the situation is really not optimistic.
It's not early, and Shi Yingqiu really doesn't know where to start with this matter.
Lu Yuan's heart is now full of self-blame, he glanced at Shi Yingqiu, whose eyes were a little red: "Princess Niangniang, otherwise you go to rest first, and leave it to your subordinates here, and your subordinates will definitely investigate who deliberately framed the prince." ”
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shi Yingqiu shook her head slightly, when Ye Junhao hadn't returned safely, how could she go to sleep with peace of mind?
When Hongmei heard that Shi Yingqiu was back, she also hurriedly rushed over, and seeing that Shi Yingqiu could not be persuaded at this moment, Lu Yuan could only turn his eyes to Hongmei on the side for help.
"Miss, if you stay here, it will affect the investigation of the Lu guards, otherwise, let's go back and see if there is anything that can help the Lu guards, and as for the matter here, we will leave it to the Lu guards to investigate." Hongmei said as she reached out and gently patted Shi Yingqiu's back and said.
Shi Yingqiu thought about it for a while, too, she didn't have any benefits here.
So she instructed Lu Yuan and followed Hongmei and the two back to their courtyard.
It was late at night, and the entire mansion had basically fallen asleep, except for the three of them and those who were keeping vigil.
But Shi Yingqiu sat there restlessly, and she didn't feel sleepy.
"Hongmei, the more I think about it, the more strange I feel, today's incident is like someone deliberately set this trap for us, you can talk to He'an early tomorrow morning, and ask her to find out what kind of people have been in Yuxue Pavilion recently, especially where the person who delivered this news that day came from." Thinking of this, Shi Yingqiu hurriedly looked up at Hongmei and said.
When Hongmei heard this, she nodded vigorously.
"Actually, even if Miss He'an doesn't say it, Miss He'an will go to investigate this matter, and today when you left the palace and went to the prison with the prince, Miss He'an had already sent someone to get those things back in Yuxue Pavilion." Hongmei said as she poured a cup of tea for Shi Yingqiu.
There was no news for the whole night, and Shi Yingqiu had already been restless here.
Finally, when the curfew was lifted, Shi Yingqiu was the first to rush out of the courtyard and ran towards the study.
When Lu Yuan saw Shi Yingqiu, he was a little surprised, her eyes were black, and it could be seen that she should have been busy all night without resting.
However, at this moment, when Shi Yingqiu saw Lu Yuan, he still hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"Guard Lu, how is it? Is there a result of your investigation? Is there any news from the prince's side? Shi Yingqiu looked at Lu Yuan with some concern and asked.
But when Lu Yuan saw Shi Yingqiu's gaze, he subconsciously lowered his head, he shook his head, and his expression was full of self-blame.
"The subordinates have sent someone to check last night, but there is no news from the prison, it seems that someone deliberately blocked the news, and last night was a curfew, and the subordinates really didn't dare to alarm the people outside, for fear that they would find out the prince." Lu Yuan said with a sigh.
The rest of the time, he checked his correspondence with the jailer.
"But the subordinates found this thing last night, and the princess and Niangniang, look, this jailer was contacted by a guard named Lanhe under his subordinates, but this guard couldn't find him last night, so the subordinates think that this guard may be very suspicious." Lu Yuan said as he took out all the information about Blue River.
When she saw these materials, Shi Yingqiu's heart chuckled, she hurriedly reached out and took the information into her hand, and then read it carefully.
The resume is very simple, just an orphan who was adopted since childhood, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"Could it be that because he wasn't on duty today, you couldn't find him?" Shi Yingqiu looked up at Lu Yuan and asked.
Lu Yuan shook his head and replied with great certainty: "Following this subordinate guard, they usually eat and live in the mansion, and if they don't have any special orders on weekdays, they will never leave the mansion." ”
When he heard this, Shi Yingqiu's whole person understood something.
"So you mean to say that he hasn't been able to find anyone with this guard since yesterday?" Shi Yingqiu took a deep breath as she spoke, and read all the information about this Lanhe.
"Princess Niangniang, my subordinates are now going to send someone to find the traces of the Blue River first, but there are still some things here, and I may have to bother the princess Niangniang to help." Lu Yuan looked at Shi Yingqiu with some embarrassment and said.
Obviously, he was not good at doing things by himself and was gullible to others, but at this time, he still had to bother Shi Yingqiu, which made Lu Yuan's heart very unhappy.
But now she can't care about it so much, Shi Yingqiu also nodded, and motioned to Lu Yuan but said it was okay.
"I don't know where the prince is now, my subordinates must go there in person, but there are still many things here, I hope the princess can help her subordinates check it out." As Lu Yuan spoke, he handed the things in front of him to Shi Yingqiu opposite.
When he saw the files about Blue River in front of him, Shi Yingqiu nodded slightly.
"Miss, I really don't understand, Guard Lu asked us to check what these things were, these are all things from the Blue River Guards when they went on missions before." Hongmei said as she looked at the things in front of her for Shi Yingqiu in confusion.
Not to mention that these things have been around for some years, even if they are not years, they have no inevitable connection with the current case of the prince.
Originally, at the beginning, Shi Yingqiu didn't quite understand why Lu Yuan wanted to check this, but when she opened the booklets, Lu Yuan had already found half of the things, she seemed to understand something.
"All the guards that the prince has cultivated himself, after returning from each mission, must write a detailed report, where he went, where he passed, all of them must be written clearly, and every time such a report is handed in, there will be special people to conduct spot checks, so the probability of them being fraudulent is not very large, we will now follow these reports to check to see if he has been to or passed by a lot of places, and that place is likely to be related to this matter." Shi Yingqiu's hand flipped a few more pages as she spoke.
Seeing this, Hongmei instantly understood, and she hurriedly stepped forward to look through Lanhe's mission record with Shi Yingqiu.
It can be seen that Lan He has a lot of tasks, at least Lu Yuan has been reading these files for a night, and he hasn't even finished reading half of them.
Shi Yingqiu realized that something was wrong when he saw it halfway through.
"You see that after Lanhe finished the mission, he seems to like to pass by the north of the capital very much, what is there in the north of the capital?" As she spoke, Shi Yingqiu took out a few pieces of paper and put them in front of the two of them and asked.
When Hongmei heard this, she subconsciously looked at the piece of paper, and sure enough, it was in the place where Shi Yingqiu marked it.
At first, Shi Yingqiu hadn't noticed this place, but she found that there were a few times when she was closer to the south gate, but he still walked through the north gate, which made Shi Yingqiu pay attention.
However, before Shi Yingqiu could tell Lu Yuan, he saw Lu Yuan rushing in in a hurry.
"The princess forgives her sins, she just went outside to inquire about the news, and I heard that the prison reported this matter to Your Majesty." Lu Yuan said with a somewhat panicked expression.
No wonder he couldn't find out the news of Ye Junhao all night, I'm afraid that they quietly sent Ye Junhao to the emperor last night, and the news was announced early this morning, right?
"It's not too rare to tell Your Majesty about this matter, the key is to see what Your Majesty says." Although Shi Yingqiu looked panicked, he was not surprised.
If the people in the prison didn't tell the emperor about this, it would surprise her.
Lu Yuan had already sent someone to inquire about the next matter, but as of his return, he hadn't heard anything yet.
"Princess Niangniang has another matter, just now her subordinates were ordered to find Lanhe, but they found that he had died in the suburbs." Lu Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Lan He was already dead, and when he heard this, Shi Yingqiu was really surprised.
"You just came, I just found out in this pile of records that Lan He seems to often go to the north of the city, in this pile of files, there are several times when he can go directly to the south of the city or other places to come back, but he wants to take a detour to the north of the city, I think it's a little strange." Shi Yingqiu said as she pushed the things in front of her to Lu Yuan.
If you want to prove that Ye Junhao was framed, it is estimated that you have to start from Lanhe.
Lu Yuan took the piece of paper in his hand and looked at Shi Yingqiu without saying anything.
Just as he was about to say something, He An also hurriedly came in from outside, and when she came in, she seemed to have a piece of paper in her hand.
