Chapter 60: The Truth Revealed?
The person who was tied up by the five flowers was indeed a man dressed in white, and the man resisted desperately.
"I really can't get used to Feng Qian's fish and meat people, so I led everyone to revolt! I'm a good person, why are you arresting me! ”
The secret guard stepped forward and handed a stack of letters to Duan Jingqi, "Lord Wang, this was found on him. ”
Duan Jingqi only opened it and looked at it twice, and then instantly tightened his brows, this matter is not so simple!
In his hand was written by the white-clothed sect leader, and the recipient was Meng Xiangtian, the head of the household!
Every word on the letter revolves around the murder of the flower boat, and the man in white in front of him is definitely not just for the people.
Duan Jingqi raised the letter in his hand, "The evidence is conclusive, don't you still tell the truth?" If you miss the opportunity to confess now, there are people who can make you speak when you go back to the Imperial City. ”
"I was wronged!"
"Okay, take him to the imperial city and hand him over to Prince Yi for trial!"
"Lord Yi!" The white-clothed sect leader suddenly became frightened, he had heard that Duan Jingyi was killing brutally on the battlefield, and in order to deter the army, he had skinned two traitors in the camp tent.
His cruel and ruthless methods are countless, and he is a terrifying figure wherever he goes, if it really falls into the hands of Duan Jingyi, I am afraid that even seeking death has become a luxury.
"Take it down and escort it to the Imperial City!"
"Wait a minute!" The white-clothed sect leader struggled in his heart, but he still couldn't resist the pressure and spoke, "I said, I'll say anything." ”
Duan Jingqi's eyes lit up, "What's going on with the flower boat?" ”
"That's the gold cave that I built with Meng Xiangtian, in order to collect more money and pay less taxes, he also used his position to change the ship's paper smaller, so that even if the things on the boat are known in the future, the government will not find us in the first place according to the drawings screening, and it can leave us enough time to escape."
Duan Jingqi gritted his teeth with hatred, but he Meng Xiangtian was really thoughtful! "Have there ever been murders on board?"
"Out of ...... When we met disobedient girls, we used beating, scolding, and poisoning to scare them, and inevitably killed and injured a few. ”
Duan Jingqi motioned to the people around him to write down all the conversations word for word, and then said, "How many people died?" Where to dump the body? ”
"Dead ...... More than a dozen died, some were thrown into the water, some were buried, and some were thrown to a distant place in the imperial capital Xicheng in order to hide people's eyes. ”
"Who chose the place to dump the body?"
"No one chose it, so I just found a secluded place and threw it away, and I didn't choose it deliberately."
Duan Jingqi frowned and retracted his gaze, "Throw the corpse in a random place?" ”
"Yes...... The villain doesn't dare to tell lies, please don't hand me over to Lord Yi, I'm telling the truth! ”
"Then you are clearly in the same group as Meng Xiangtian, why can't you get along with his nephew now?"
"It's all to blame Meng Xiangtian's lack of heart, I saved his concubine before and made a fortune with them, and now he actually wants to kill me when he sees Qian Yankai and swallows the silver alone, how can I bear this breath, can't I move Meng Xiangtian and his nephew!"
The more the white-clothed sect leader spoke, the more angry Duan Jingqi became, but he didn't have the heart to listen to these inconsequential things anymore, so he just asked him to press his handprint and temporarily put the person in prison.
He secretly thought to himself, could it be that the corpse dumping in the imperial city that they had suspected before was too nervous? In fact, it was just a murder caused by a flower boat, and nothing else?
He thought for a moment and said to the secret guard just now, "These two confessions will be sent to King Yi's mansion, and then heavy troops will be sent to escort the white-clothed people and Feng Qian back to the imperial city, remember to be fast!" ”
"Yes!"
On the other side, Dong Cheng also looked anxious, he put on his clothes and hurriedly walked out, and after walking for two steps, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
He cautiously glanced around the dark courtyard and made sure that there was no one before he hid behind a tree and whispered, "Is there anyone?" Is His Royal Highness King Yi's secret guard available? ”
In an instant, an inky black shadow fell in front of him, Dong Cheng was startled, cautiously leaned on the trunk of the tree, looked at the person's outfit, recalled the scene a few days ago when Duan Jingyi brought people to his mansion, and concluded that the person in front of him should be a secret guard.
"I have something urgent to report to the prince and I'm afraid that there are others in the mansion, can you take me there?"
The secret guard took two steps forward and grabbed Dong Cheng's waist at once, "My lord is offended!" ”
Immediately, his feet were light, Dong Cheng only felt that the whole person was spinning, and a weightless heart seemed to be poached, and he just wanted to scream, so he covered his mouth and nose violently.
When the dark guard appeared in the Dream Garden with Dong Cheng, let alone the maids, even Duan Jingyi was really surprised.
Dong Chengfu knelt on the ground and only had half a life left, and Duan Jingyi sent someone to pull it, but he couldn't pull the weak-legged Lord Dong.
Dong Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his head in the middle of the night in autumn.
"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan has seen ...... Vomit! ”
"Quickly help Master Dong to the wing."
Duan Jingyi frowned and kept up, even Tang Meng, who had just fallen asleep, was noisy, "What's wrong with Xing'er?" ”
"A big man fell from the courtyard just now, and the slaves and maids were startled, and now the man has been taken to the side room by the prince."
"A man fell?" Tang Meng felt strange and hurriedly got dressed and went over to take a look, and when she arrived, Dong Cheng vomited even more.
Tang Meng couldn't help but pull Dong Cheng's arm, "What did he do just now?" ”
The secret guard told the truth about it, and Tang Meng couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it.
Duan Jingyi frowned, "But it's poisoned?" ”
Tang Meng's face faded sharply, and he wiped his hands, "I'm afraid of heights." ”
"Afraid of heights?" Everyone looked at each other.
"It's just that I'm afraid of heights, when I get to a high place, I'm dizzy and panicked and want to vomit, it's not poisoning and it won't kill people, wait for me to write a prescription Xiao Tao and boil two pairs of medicine according to it."
Duan Jingyi was relieved, "Master Dong has a good rest first, and other things will be talked about later." ”
Before he got up, Dong Cheng grabbed the corner of his clothes, and he gasped and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "The minister has a new ... NEW DISCOVERY! ”
Duan Jingyi quickly took it, and when he unfolded it, it turned out to be the details of the murder flower boat, and the builder of the ship had Shen and Xiong Liang written on it.
"Who is Xiong Liang?"
Tang Meng and Dong Chengdu looked stunned, and the latter couldn't hold on and fainted directly in the Mengyuan wing.
Tang Meng looked at Dong Cheng's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but pounce.
"Laughing at what?"
"Laugh at him, I didn't expect the upright Lord Dong to be so embarrassed again, afraid of heights hahaha, weird and cute."
Although Tang Meng said this, he still carefully untied his robe, but unexpectedly, he was caught by his wrist in the next second, and the cold aura from Duan Jingyi poured over.
"What are you doing?"
"Change clothes, he's vomiting all over his body, I can't let him sleep like this."
Duan Jingyi didn't listen to the explanation and directly grabbed the person by the wrist behind him, and his voice was muffled, "You go back to sleep, this king will send someone to take care of him, and the maid next to you must also be replaced." ”
Tang Meng didn't react for a while what it meant, and when she understood, she immediately jumped in front of Duan Jingyi.
"I can trust Xiao Tao and Xing'er, you don't want to kill them!"
