Chapter 280: Dig up something
Why did His Highness order someone to dig the ground in Xiao Baiyuan's courtyard? But what clues did Bei Ya find? β
Zhou Zhi saw Chu Yi coming out of the upper room, and asked suspiciously.
Chu Yi's ancient phoenix eyes looked at him, and replied lightly: "Lord Haojiao knows that in the Chengen Mansion, the only one who has anything to do with Yunjiang is Xiao Baiyuan, although he is the son of the prince of Chengen, he has been raised under Xiao Jingsi's knees since he was a child. And most of the former capitals of Yunjiang protected Xiao Yuanliang, who was Xiao Jingsi's son. Xiao Yuanliang recruited Xinjiang doctors in Yunjiang, and there were countless secret medicines in Yunjiang, if the poisoned novice was really related to the Chengen Mansion, it must be Xiao Baiyuan. β
Shen Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
This is what Xiao Qingchu said on behalf of the Xiao family in front of King Yi.
The fact that King Yi was able to survive under the poisonous smoke of the grass was an accident for the person who poisoned him.
And afterwards, in order to clear the suspicion, the Xiao family privately pushed everything on Xiao Baiyuan, but it was just to make up for it afterwards.
Even if you make up for it after the fact, there will be some omissions.
They signaled Xiao Qingchu to "surrender" to King Yi, and their calculation was to bet on King Yi's compassion for the Xiao family.
However, at this moment, King Yi made their words clear in front of Jingzhao Yin Zhouzhi, which was tantamount to putting aside his compassion for his ancestors and investigating the meaning to the end.
Although now, they have no evidence to prove that Xiao Baiyuan is related to the poisoning.
But through the mouth of King Yi, telling the relationship between Xiao Baiyuan and Xiao Yuanliang and Yunjiang's secret poison is equivalent to pointing out a direction for Jing Zhaoyin's investigation of the case.
Sure enough, when Zhou Zhi heard Chu Yi's words, his spirit was shocked.
At the beginning, Xiao Yuanliang, a border official, died suddenly, which has aroused suspicion from the government and the opposition.
And now King Yi himself said that the assassination of him in the Great Huguo Temple is related to Xiao Yuanliang, which means that there must be a hidden secret that outsiders can't see.
In this way, Xiao Baiyuan is the key to this case.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi pointed to the open ground in the courtyard and asked eagerly, "What clues did Your Highness find in the courtyard?" What about Siu Pak Yuen? Where are Xiao Baiyuan's people? β
It's like responding to his questionβ
In the corner of the yard where no one was paying attention, the flying fish guard who was digging up the ground and rummaging suddenly exclaimed: "There is something buried here!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Flying Fish Guards instantly surrounded him tightly.
After just a few breaths, Feiyuwei, who was the first to discover the things in the ground, ran to Chu Yi with a small bag of oilcloth full of dirt in his hand, and bowed down to present it to him.
Shen Shu on the side, looking at the oilcloth bag strangely-
Just now, she was beside that person, and saw him surrounded by many flying fish guards, and took out this deliberately old and dirty oilcloth bag from his arms.
This is a false accusation!
In front of everyone's eyes, it is a clear planting!
Could it be that King Yi wants to stuff the "evidence" into this small bag and frame it for Xiao Baiyuan?
Shen Shu never expected that King Yi, the god of war, who had always acted uprightly, would also let his subordinates use such methods.
Although ...... "no evidence, 'create' evidence", in the current situation, it can be regarded as a "shortcut".
However, such a method will not be on the table after all, and it is not a glorious thing.
Not only Shen Shu, but even Chu Zhan under the corridor also saw this scene.
Chu Zhan shook the folding fan with a match, and looked at Chu Yi's peach blossom eyes, with a hint of surprise.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the oilcloth bag.
Chu Yi took the oilcloth packet with an expressionless face, opened a slit, and looked at it.
Then, with a slight frown, he closed the bag again.
Every action he made touched the hearts of everyone present.
Especially the one who had just checked in the Chengen Mansion, but found nothing.
"Your Highness, what is this? But what does it have to do with the case? Zhou Zhi asked with a blank look.
Chu Yi stood on the steps, and the contents of the bag were only visible to him.
Even Zhou Zhi at the bottom of the steps was not allowed to be glimpsed.
Zhou Zhi had just heard about the relationship between Xiao Baiyuan, the owner of this courtyard, and Xiao Yuanliang.
And now I see something dug up in the yardβ
The bottom of my heart is like a cat scratching, scratching my heart and liver.
Chu Yi looked at him, hooked his lips lightly, and asked without answering: "Lord Zhou is just ...... Aren't you asking where Xiao Baiyuan is? β
Zhou Zhi was slightly stunned.
"Oh, yes! Right! β
He reacted, and couldn't wait to look at the Xiao family disciples who were watching at the gate of the courtyard.
"What about Xiao Baiyuan? Where is Xiao Baiyuan? β
However, he was met with silence.
The crowd of onlookers looked at each other.
After careful calculation, Xiao Baiyuan has not appeared in the mansion for a long time.
Very few people know about his whereabouts.
Chu Yi pointed to the housekeeper of the Cheng'en Mansion who was following Zhou Zhi and ordered: "You come and tell Lord Zhou where Xiao Baiyuan is now." β
The housekeeper named by him looked dazed.
Immediately, he bowed down and replied with a sneer: "Old slave...... The old slave is just a subordinate, the second young master often leads the errands in the palace to go out, and his whereabouts are uncertain, where is he now...... The old slave really didn't know. β
Chu Yijian raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are the housekeeper of the Chengen Mansion, you don't know where Xiao Baiyuan went, so who knows?" β
The housekeeper choked.
He's just a housekeeper, not a headler.
Where the little master went, how would he know?
The housekeeper is bitter in his heart-
He didn't answer the question that King Yi asked, and he didn't answer it......
"This ...... This ......" the butler said vaguely: "The old slave really doesn't know, maybe, maybe...... The prince knows ......"
"Okay, you go and call the son." Chu Yi ordered.
When the butler heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
He can't wait to smack himself in the mouth!
What's not good to go back, I want to get involved with the world!
Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead: "The prince of the world...... The body of the prince ......"
As soon as his prevarication began, he was interrupted by Chu Yi: "The prince is not in good health, and everyone in the capital knows it." β
As he spoke, he shook the oilcloth bag in his hand: "It's just that now this king has turned things out in his son's yard, and Lord Jingzhao Yin Zhou is at the scene again, he, as a father, should show his face no matter what, you go and ask him, whether he is coming or we are coming." β
Speaking of this, the housekeeper knew that he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he hurriedly bowed down and went to pass the word to the prince of Chengen.
Seeing this, Baba stared at the oilcloth bag.
"Your Highness, the prince is weak, and the official is in good health, so it's better for us to live ......."
Before he finished his words, he saw Chu Yi's extremely cold eyes sweeping over.
Zhou Zhi shuddered and said with a sneer: "Let's wait, let's ...... It's important to keep the scene well, it's important to ......"

Cheng'en Mansion, front yard study.
Xiao Jingcheng, the son of Cheng'en Gong, looked sick and sat on the couch near the window.
He listened to the words of the butler who came to report it, and a trace of coldness flashed on his weak and pale face.
