Chapter 53: Killing Intent
At the banquet, Zheng Qing kept talking, he was very eloquent, and he traveled all day long, he was not very old and had a wide range of knowledge, and he often made Zheng and Gu Huanyi laugh.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Zheng Qing put away his joking expression and said, "Before saying goodbye, there is still something serious to talk to Miss Gu." ”
Gu Huanyi looked at him in surprise, and said seriously: "Please speak less." ”
Zheng Qing said: "I entered Beijing this time to escort the New Year's goods of a large household. said that it was a New Year's gift, but there was a person in their goods, and this person Miss Gu must know. ”
Gu Huanyi didn't know many people, but he didn't have a clue, so he waited for Zheng Qing to say.
"Lin Youhai, the son of the general of the Donglin Army who was convicted and beheaded."
Gu Huanyi's expression became solemn.
Lin Youhai was exempted from the death penalty, but he was sentenced to exile, who dared to send him secretly into the capital? And for what?
Zheng Qing said again: "My people heard Lin Youhai talking to the delivery person, saying that you caused his family to be ruined, and I was worried that he was coming to you to seek revenge, so I specially told him." ”
Gu Huanyi was a little surprised, but he didn't feel strange after thinking about it for a while.
General Lin was convicted of smuggling cold ice, and her father was investigating the matter before his death.
If someone has the heart to guide, it will make Lin Youhai think that Gu Huanyi took the Lin family's incriminating evidence and caused him to fall into such a situation.
Gu Huanyi asked, "Who is the owner of the New Year's goods?" ”
Zheng Qing shook his head and said, "I can't say this." ”
The Cao Gang has the rules of the Cao Gang, they must not betray the guests, otherwise they will no longer have a foothold in the rivers and lakes.
Zheng Qingneng told Gu Huanyi the news, and he already regarded her as his own person.
Gu Huanyi said, "Okay, thank you." ”
If you can let the Cao Gang Shaodong go out in person, it must be a high-ranking official, Gu Huanyi has a few conjectures in his heart.
After the dinner with the Zheng family, Gu Huanyi did not return to the Song family, and went to Zidezhai alone.
The time when she came was very coincidental, Li Congxin was at home discussing with Wu Lie, who had just returned to Beijing.
Li Congxin asked Liu Pei to invite her in and introduced her: "This is the Admiral Wu I told you, my brother-in-law. ”
Wu Lie is tall, his eyebrows and eyes look a little fierce, and he is dressed in dark blue, and his official authority is very heavy.
Wu Lie said: "I think this is my brother and sister." ”
Li Congxin smiled: "Exactly." ”
He said to Gu Huanyi again: "You can call my big brother with me." ”
Gu Huanyi glanced at Li Congxin, he hasn't married yet, what "brother and sister", what "big brother"?
But she didn't save Li Congxin's face, and saluted Wu Lie and said, "I've seen Brother Wu." ”
The three of them sat down, and Gu Huanyi said, "Brother Wu has just returned to Beijing?" I discussed with Sister Qiao that I would invite a few of your righteous brothers to my house for a small gathering, and I have been waiting for you to return to Beijing. ”
Wu Lie said: "I just entered the city when it was dark. ”
Gu Huanyi knew that he had left Beijing before to follow Lin Youhai to the place of exile, and to check the relationship between him and King Xian, he asked directly, "Did you find anything in Lin Youhai?" ”
Before Gu Huanyi came, Wu Lie was talking to Li Congxin about it.
Li Congxin answered: "The government reported that Lin Youhai died on the way to exile, and his body was burned by the officials because of the epidemic. My eldest brother and I both think that this thing is different, and it is estimated that the golden cicada has come out of its shell. ”
Gu Huanyi nodded: "Sure enough." I just got a message here that Lin Youhai was secretly sent into the capital. ”
Wu Lie asked, "Who is so bold?" ”
Gu Huanyi shook his head and said: "I only know that Lin Youhai is in the capital, but I don't know who helped him, and I don't know where he is hiding, and I have to ask Brother Wu to investigate." ”
Wu Lie said: "This is my duty, as long as he is in the capital, I will find him out!" ”
Li Congxin frowned and did not speak.
Gu Huan saw that his expression was different, and asked, "What is the prince thinking?" ”
Li Congxin said: "When the eldest brother told me that Lin Youhai faked his death, I first suspected that King Xian rescued him, either to use him to win over the remnants of the Donglin Army, or to kill people. But if Lin Youhai appeared in the capital, it would not be the handiwork of King Xian or Li Chengxu. ”
It takes a great risk to send Lin Youhai to Beijing, if Lin Youhai is arrested in the capital, he can find out who rescued him from him, and many things will be unearthed under deep investigation.
King Xian and Li Chengxu used the Donglin Army to smuggle the cold ice to the first prince Li Yuhe, and borrowed the Donglin Army to restrain the Gu family's army, both of these things are over, Lin Youhai is not of such great value to them, and they will not send risky people to the capital again.
When Gu Huanyi heard Zheng Qing say, the first person he suspected was Li Chengxu.
But at this moment, listening to Li Congxin's analysis, she felt that what he said was reasonable.
According to the clues provided by Zheng Qing, Lin Youhai entered Beijing to seek revenge on her.
Gu Huanyi didn't dare to tell Li Congxin about this, for fear that he would be too worried.
She secretly thought that if Li Chengxu really wanted to get rid of her, she didn't have to ask Lin Youhai to make a move, and their superficial contradictions did not come to the point of life and death.
Who could it be that you want to kill her!
The three of them thought for a while, and Li Congxin said to Wu Lie: "Big brother, you go and check the Fang family, there may be clues." ”
Then he said to Gu Huanyi: "From tonight onwards, let Liu Pei protect you by your side, and you don't go out alone." ”
Gu Huanyi was very surprised, Li Congxin guessed that she would be in danger, but why the Fang family?
Gu Huan asked puzzledly: "Does the prince mean that the Fang family wants to use Lin Youhai's hand to harm me?" ”
Li Congxin nodded and said, "Yes, it should be Fang Yurong." ”
Gu Huanyi said incredulously: "Why is this...... I also dealt with Fang Yurong once, and there was no contact, and there was not much resentment. Did she become jealous just for the sake of fighting for the wind, so she became murderous? ”
Li Congxin said: "I told you before that she is such a person with bad intentions. Moreover, Li Chengxu fell out with Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen did not want the Fang family to marry Li Chengxu. Her best choice at the moment is to marry me, and you are her biggest stumbling block. ”
Gu Huanyi thought of what happened recently for a while, Concubine Zhen was pregnant, Princess Miaohua and Li Chengxu quarreled, and Mrs. Fenhou went to the Song family to propose marriage......
If you think about it from Fang Yurong's standpoint, what Li Congxin deduced is very likely!
Gu Huanyi muttered: "I don't know when Fang Yurong and Lin Youhai met, she trusts Lin Youhai so much, isn't she afraid that Lin Youhai will betray her and cause trouble?" ”
Li Congxin sneered.
When Lin Youhai met Fang Yurong, he really didn't know, but in his previous life, there was no accident in the Lin family, and Lin Youhai became Li Chengxu's right-hand man.
But it was this right-hand man who carried Li Chengxu and Fang Yurong behind his back and became her minister.
When Li Congxin was sorting out the people related to Lin Youhai, he first thought of Fang Yurong.
