Chapter 832: Night Detective
Because of the comeback of Ziyun Palace, people from all walks of life have emerged, and Nanzhou City has become lively.
Before, Xiao Meng's direction of search was to follow the clues of King Rong'an, but now Xiao Meng has changed her route, and she wants to find out who led the troops to encircle and suppress Ziyun Palace.
This investigation is not vigorous, and it has indeed brought out many officials.
From the declining Guogong to the then governor of Nanzhou City, they all participated.
Under this big net is a net of fish.
Xiao Meng flipped through the list above, and a pair of eyes gradually sank, so many officials, there must be those who took the opportunity to take credit, some came to see the excitement, and some had no way because of their duties.
With so many people involved, it's really difficult to find the big fish out of it.
The Guogong Mansion has lost power, the Tong and his son of the Guogong Mansion have died, the female dependents have been used as slaves, and the Guogong Mansion has completely declined.
If Lord Guogong is the mastermind behind the scenes, then what is his purpose?
Xiaomeng fell into deep thought.
Lord Guogong has lost his position, and it is difficult to find out.
The then prefect of Nanzhou City has passed away and there is no trace of him.
After looking around, Xiao Meng found an amazing problem, among the officials who participated in the encirclement and suppression, they all died within a year after the encirclement and suppression of Ziyun Palace for one reason or another.
It would be strange if there were no strange things about the death of all the officials who had been involved for one reason or another.
Tang Jun looked at these rosters and clenched his fists.
More and more obvious evidence proves that the big case that moved the world back then is very likely to be just an unjust case.
Xiao Meng pushed a bunch of lists to Tang Jun: "According to the emperor, which official should we start with." β
Tang Jun took a pen and drew a circle on the roster: "Let's start with him." β
Xiaomeng nodded and put the roster aside.
That night, Xiaomeng and Nan Yingying, Tang Jun and Li Ke, Bai Buxin and Mo Wentian, Zhang Yidao and Cheng Yu were divided into four groups and went to four places to collect information.
Xiaomeng stopped in a small farm yard, the house was dark, and it seemed that she had already fallen asleep.
As soon as Xiaomeng pushed the door in, she saw an old lady lying on the ground, her eyes closed and covered in blood.
Went up to her sniff and died.
"Sister, we're still a step too late, this prefect's nurse is already dead." Nam Young-young was very annoyed.
"It looks like we're watching each other." Xiao Meng smiled bitterly, she was still too naΓ―ve, thinking that by finding out the families of those officials back then, she could find out the relevant clues, but she didn't expect that the other party would solve these family members one step ahead of them.
"Sister, what should I do then?"
"My lord, this is it." A villager brought the officers and soldiers in and came directly to the courtyard of this mother-in-law: "My lord, this courtyard was originally inhabited by the nurse of the previous prefect and the grandson of the prefect's family. β
Zuo Hanyi looked at the courtyard gate with the gate closed, and gave an order: "Push open the door." β
When I opened the door, there was nothing but a pool of blood on the ground.
"It must have been hidden by those people." The villager didn't see the two grandchildren, and saw blood on the ground, so he guessed.
Zuo Hanyi waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to look for it.
"My lord, you must help this grandchild to be the master, their grandchildren are old and young, if they really fall into the hands of gangsters, I really don't know what will happen."
"I'm afraid that they were killed by the people of the Purple Cloud Palace."
The villagers were shocked: "Purple Cloud Palace." β
"Yes, that's right, it's Ziyun Palace, the former prefect participated in the encirclement and suppression of Ziyun Palace, a few days ago, the young master of Ziyun Palace led the sect to make Ziyun Palace come back to the rivers and lakes, the first thing they did when they came back to the rivers and lakes was to avenge the palace master of Ziyun Palace and those dead sect members, although the previous prefect died, his little grandson did not die, so his little grandson became the target of their revenge."
In Zuo Hanyi's opinion, this is what Ziyun Palace did.
The villagers were frightened, and knelt directly on the ground and prayed to God: "God, please quickly take away those murderous Ziyun Palaces, don't harm people anymore, pity their old and helpless grandchildren, they were killed by them like this." β
"You guys hurry up and take a look around, see if they have gone far, a few of you go and get torches, the people of Ziyun Palace dare to come here, they must want to take something here, the old lady is actually dead, a torch burns here." In this way, the sin of the Purple Cloud Palace is even greater, isn't it?
Nan Yingying, who was in the shadows, looked at everything about Zuo Hanyi, and scolded despicably in her heart.
Flee to a col in the back mountains.
"Nan Yingying, quick, put them on the side, and I'll feed them the Heart Protector Pill." Under the cover of night, Xiao Meng quickly took out two Heart Protectors and stuffed them into the other party's mouths.
The old woman still had a faint breath, and the little grandson looked frightened, it seemed that he was frightened a lot, and he was slashed in the chest by someone, and it was a miracle that he could survive.
"Sister, but the people under the mountain are all people who are left and cold, how can we escape."
"There's always a way." Xiaomeng looked at the trees in the mountains, but fortunately, the surrounding leaves were dense and easier to hide.
Torches came around them, and the two looked at each other, and one jumped onto the tree overhead.
The soldiers who came over were a little lazy, and the tone of their mouths complained: "You said that this surnamed Zuo is really a popular person around the emperor." β
"Is it the emperor's celebrity who has a half-penny relationship with us, people have made meritorious contributions and slapped their butts and left, where can they control us, let me tell you, meritorious service or anything is nonsense, and keeping this head on the head is true."
"What you said is right, if you really make meritorious service, the merit belongs to others, and it has nothing to do with us, if you don't make meritorious service, we are the scapegoats." The emperor is far away, even if they really make meritorious contributions, can the emperor know?
"Okay, don't say a word, I heard that this Zuo has a big background, it's not easy to mess with, and there are some things we can understand ourselves."
"I'll go pee over there, and you guys take a look around." One of them stopped by the edge of the tree and began to untie his pants.
Coincidentally, the man happened to be standing under the big tree where Nan Yingying was and began to shush.
Nan Yingying didn't want to see it, but where did she see such a scene in a girl's family, and when she saw that the other party was about to take it out, she couldn't help but fall from the tree.
Xiaomeng looked at the sky speechlessly.
Nan Yingying, can you still have some more interest?
"Who." As soon as the soldier looked up, he was solved by a silver needle from Xiao Meng.
"Who?" The two men in front heard a sound behind them and shone it with torches.
The silver needle in Xiao Meng's hand shot out, and the two fell to the ground together.
