Chapter 84: Suspicion
I haven't seen him for two days, why is this Li Jianqing weird today? It can't be a major blow, right?
Li Zhilian ran through several streets with a blank face, came to the vicinity of Zhou's mansion, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he turned into the backyard of Zhou's mansion
"Oh no~ She hasn't been to Zhou Cheng's room, where should she start looking for this huge Zhou Mansion?"
Thinking that she climbed a tall tree, she looked down and saw that Zhou Quan's bamboo room was actually lit up, did he come back?
Li Zhilian hesitated for a while, then jumped towards the bamboo room, and there was not even a single patrolling person around the bamboo room of the Zhou Mansion
In the bamboo room, Zhou Chengzheng was leisurely flipping through the book, and there were two hot teas next to him
Is he waiting for someone? Or has someone just been here?
When Li Zhilian was still stunned by the window, Zhou Cheng had already discovered her, got up and saluted: "Miss Li~"
Li Zhilian smiled awkwardly, took a few steps back and walked in from the door, and asked, "Gongzi Zhou is waiting for someone?" ”
Zhou Cheng glanced at the two teacups on the table, and said with an unnatural expression: "A friend just came"
Li Zhilian nodded, sat down next to him, and asked, "How did Lin Zhao find out about that matter?" ”
Zhou Cheng turned around and took the file on the bookcase, and said: "Lin Zhao, born in 1125, from Caiwu Village, Canghuai County, was bought by the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion in 1136, and in 1148, with Zhou Zhi marrying into the Kunwang Mansion, he never married."
Li Zhilian was puzzled: "Have you verified it?" ”
Zhou Cheng raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "No?" ”
Li Zhilian was surprised, this is not like his style! "No?" ”
Zhou Cheng took out a new teacup, poured her a cup of tea, and said: "Caiwu Village under Canghuai County, there is no such person as Lin Zhao."
Li Zhilian was speechless for a while, and glanced at him dissatisfied: "Could it be too long?" Can't find it? ”
Zhou Cheng shook his head and said, "I later went to ask the old people in the house, and they said that Lin Zhao was begged by my grandmother from the Wang family."
Li Zhilian was stunned! Why is this related to the surname Wang again? The Rose Palace is also surnamed Wang
Zhou Cheng continued: "In a banquet, Lin Zhao saved His Majesty, who was three years younger than her at the time, regardless of his own life, my grandmother felt that it was fate, so she stayed by her side and grew up with Your Majesty, and then they went to Kunwang's Mansion, and there was no news."
Li Zhilian turned his head to look at Zhou Cheng, his face was covered with a faint red glow in the candlelight
She hurriedly lowered her head, this week's son won't be shy! The lonely men and widows in the middle of the night in the same room did not seem to be very good, she raised her head
Zhou Cheng raised his eyes, just met Li Zhilian's eyes, his face instantly turned even redder, and asked, "What does Miss Li want to say?" ”
Li Zhilian turned his head and gritted his back teeth: "That...... It was getting dark, so I went back first......"
"Miss Li, wait a minute" Zhou Cheng hurriedly chased to the door: "The case of Zhao Qianning and Du Ruoyi, Wang Chengzuo has already made up his mind that it is the same way of death, and Lord Wang of Wenshi Pavilion has also confirmed that you left Wenshi Pavilion at the beginning of the 22nd, and the time of death is better matched."
Li Zhilian raised his eyes to look at him, and said for a long time: "The way to die is the same, what about the method?" ”
Her murderous methods cannot be copied exactly the same, there is not only a trachea in the neck, but also a carotid artery, a slight deviation, the amount of blood cannot be the same
Zhou Cheng said: "Xu Chengzuo only brought the case file, and the methods may not be able to be compared."
Li Zhilian asked, "Then where are their bodies?" I'll check it out."
Zhou Cheng raised his eyes to look at her, shook his head and said, "It's too late~ Zhao Qianning and Du Ruoyi have already been buried"
Li Zhilian exclaimed: "Why so fast?
Zhou Chengdao: "Du Shangshu and Lord Zhao love their daughters so much that they can't see the corpse, so they were buried early."
Li Zhilian took a deep breath: "It seems that they are going to rely on me!" But why is that? ”
Zhou Cheng looked at the mottled bamboo shadow in the distance: "Could it be that your recent movements have violated the interests of some people, and they are starting to get anxious?"
Her recent movements, in addition to being closer to Li Chenghou, are the matter of Cha Linzhao: "That's the prince?" ”
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Your Majesty has named you the eldest princess, and he has already tied you and the crown prince together, if they want to make a move, they won't wait so long."
Li Zhilian turned his head to look at him sideways and said, "You mean Lin Zhao?" ”
Zhou Cheng nodded, and Li Zhilian said anxiously: "Impossible!" This...... This killing of the eldest lady of the official eunuch family can also force a Shangshu lord to bury in advance, to wronged a princess, and then take the case from Xilin City and bring a work, how can these be completed in one day, how much power does this Lin Zhao have behind him"
She suddenly thought of the conversation between Mr. Wang and that person when she was in Zhongluan City, could it be him?
She raised her hand and leaned against the door, lowered her head, she didn't dare to think about it, Lin Zhao and Wang Yi, what were the eight years she had in Zhongluan City?
In those eight years, she killed many innocent people in order for Lin Zhao to survive
Li Zhilian's body slowly slid down, and finally leaned against the door and hugged her legs, her body trembled violently, and the air around her was like a cold knife, drowning her body inch by inch
At this moment, a warm hand was placed on her shoulder, and Zhou Cheng's anxious voice came from her ear: "Miss Li~ Miss Li~ Are you okay!" ”
Li Zhilian suddenly came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "It's okay~ I still have something to do, so I'll leave first" and then stumbled out of the bamboo room
Zhou Cheng was not at ease and followed
In front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the quiet night, and more than a dozen fast horses galloped over, and the person who took the lead flew off the horse and ran quickly to the gate of the Shen Mansion, knocking on the door with a "......bang bang bang".
Shen Chun opened the door a crack, poked his head out and asked, "Who?" ”
The man said: "Pang Yi in Xia Dali Temple, I was ordered to come and arrest the suspect Li Zhilian"
Shen Chun smiled and said, "My lord, you are talking about Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" She went out and hasn't come back yet? ”
Pang Yi's face changed immediately, and he stammered: "This~ Please also report ......"
Shen Chun opened the door and said, "Come in!" ”
Pang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people behind him: "You guys are waiting here, I'll go in alone."
The officials behind him said in unison: "Yes~"
Shen Zhitang chatted with Li Jianqing in the study
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, Shen Chun pushed the door open, walked in, and shouted: "My lord~ The huge people of Dali Temple are here"
Shen Zhitang and Li Jianqing glanced at each other and said, "Please let him in!" ”
Pang Yi walked quickly to Shen Zhitang's side, knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "Xiaguan has seen an adult"
Shen Zhitang waved his hand and said, "Get up!" It's so late, and I came to the house, but what happened? ”
Pang Yi stood up and whispered with a slight weakness: "At the beginning of the 22nd, Du Ruoyi, the young lady of Du Shangshu's family, and Zhao Qianning, the young lady of Zhao's family, died tragically at home...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess used the same method when she killed the man in black when she was in Xilin City, and we adults want to ask the eldest princess to go back and interrogate."
Li Jianqing put down the teacup in his hand: "Why did Her Royal Highness the eldest princess kill them, what is the motive?" Have you found out? ”
Pang Yi said in a trembling voice: "It's because when the eldest princess was dining at Diaoyutai that day, Miss Du and Miss Zhao collided with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Li Jianqing: "Oh" and said: "Since it was against Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, then if you say that you will send someone to kill it, why do you want to do it yourself?" ”
Shen Zhitang looked at Li Jianqing and said coldly: "Jianqing ~ no rudeness"
Pang Yi's lips kept trembling: "The adult ~ the little one is also ordered to do things"
Shen Zhitang waved his hand: "You go back first!" Just say that early tomorrow morning, I will personally take Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to Dali Temple"
Pang Yi raised his head, panicked and at a loss
Shen Zhitang sank his face and said angrily: "What? Don't believe in this official? ”
Pang Yi trembled with fright: "That~ that Xiaguan...... Just retreat first" turned around and ran out of the study quickly, let out a long breath, and then walked in the direction of the door
Li Jianqing stood up and asked, "Teacher~ Who made a move on Zhilian?" ”
Shen Zhitang paced: "It's hard to say ...... now"
