Chapter 7: The Secret of the Letter

The voice of the deputy commander of Jinyiwei changed: "Song ...... Lord Song, is this letter really not forged? ”

Song Hui's father handed him the letter directly: "You should know Master Li's handwriting very well, can you see that it is forged?" ”

The deputy commander also looked at it seriously for a long time.

The more you look at it, the paler it becomes.

As Song Hui's father said, as Li Zhongyi's absolute confidant, he knows Li Zhongyi's handwriting very well.

The handwriting on this letter is really Li Zhongyi's own notes.

Even the little details have been preserved.

"Perhaps, Master Li was forced to write this letter." The deputy commander said something that he didn't even believe.

Song Hui's father said lightly: "The Jinyi Guard Yamen is heavily defended, and you also said that nothing happened when the accident happened, who can evade the defenses and control Lord Li?" ”

The deputy commander's eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Song Hui's father: "Lord Song, Lord Li can't kill himself. ”

Otherwise, all of them would be disgusted by the Empress.

But the interests of Jin Yiwei are not the interests of Song Hui's father.

He ignored the plea of the deputy commander, and said lightly: "This official only cares about the truth, and at present, this official can only judge that this letter is from Lord Li's handwriting, but whether Lord Li committed suicide still needs further confirmation." ”

The poison in Li Zhongyi's office also needs to be further examined.

The deputy commander made some despair.

He heard what Song Hui's father wanted to do impartially.

And now, in his mind, it is very likely that Li Zhongyi committed suicide.

can only say that Li Zhongyi's usual acting is too successful, and he deceived everyone around him.

And what is written on Li Zhongyi's letter is too terrifying, and because of this, it is difficult not to believe that what is written above is true.

"Bring Master Li's body back for further examination. There are many doubts in this case, and the poison in Master Li has not yet been investigated, so everything cannot be concluded for the time being, so there is no need to worry too much. ”

The deputy commander is not worried, no.

Now that Li Zhongyi is dead, he left such a letter before he died.

Jinyiwei was originally a spy agency that isolated itself from hundreds of officials, if it lost the favor of the Son of Heaven again, how could it gain a foothold?

So he had to do something to prove his loyalty, and at the same time tell the Empress that the brocade guard is still useful, and that we are willing to serve you.

Thinking of this, the deputy commander suggested: "Lord Song, Lord Li went to see Mr. Bai three days before the accident. ”

Bai Xiaosheng is a name on the rivers and lakes, and his surname is Bai.

It is no secret that Li Zhongyi has seen Bai Xiaosheng.

So Song Hui's father nodded: "After they met that day, what was wrong with Master Li?" ”

"No, but it can't be ruled out that the poison was from Mr. Bai's day." The deputy commander boldly put forward his own idea: "I think that Mr. Bai should be controlled now. ”

Song Hui's father glanced at the deputy commander.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this suggestion.

But Song Hui's father made the deputy commander's heart lift up with one sentence: "What if...... The official is saying that if it is really Lord Li who was killed by Lao Bai, have you thought about what the reason will be? ”

The deputy commander was about to cry.

What else could be the reason?

It's nothing more than revenge for the champion.

Li Zhongyi's last letter said that the death of the champion Hou was planned by him and the empress behind his back.

Bai Xiaosheng ran for the champion Hou, if he killed Li Zhongyi, it can only mean that what the letter said is true.

"Now the hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating, and many pairs of eyes are staring at this official. It's good that the official doesn't do anything, once Lao Bai is really arrested, the world will sit down and guess in their hearts, and what is written on this letter, even if it is not true, will be considered true. ”

The deputy commander hurriedly apologized: "Is it because of Meng Lang's humble position, or is Lord Song thoughtful." ”

"It's all for the sake of the saints, and the adults are also doing their duty." Song Hui's father said lightly: "But after all, this case is the responsibility of the official, and the adults only need to cooperate with Song." ”

"Everything is at the behest of Lord Song."

Even when Li Zhongyi was alive, at most he was on an equal footing with Song Hui's father, and he was a deputy commander, of course he didn't dare to instruct Song Hui's father to do things.

Even if I could, he wouldn't do it.

This matter, no matter how you look at it, is a hot potato. The whole court, including the empress, will probably keep an eye on the direction of this case at all times.

If it is not handled well, it will be a broken ending.

To be honest, Song Hui's father was willing to take on this case, which has surprised many people.

Song Hui's father is more responsible than many people think: "Your consideration is not unreasonable, so this official wants to go to the natural residence to meet Lao Bai in person." This official believes that the truth is the truth, and as long as things have been done, they will definitely leave clues. ”

"I hope Lord Song will succeed." The deputy commander made sincere blessings.

……

Palace.

The empress sat on the dragon chair and listened to the female official's report with a blank face.

"The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard made Lord Zhu suggest that Bai Xiaosheng be controlled first, but Lord Song vetoed this suggestion, saying that it would damage His Majesty's reputation."

Hearing this, the empress chuckled: "I have been on the throne for ten years, and the Great Zhou has been in good weather, can't I even withstand this little wind and waves?" ”

The female officer bowed her head and did not dare to speak.

The cold light in the empress's phoenix eyes flashed, and then she said lightly: "Go on." ”

"Lord Song said that the letter was indeed written by Li Zhongyi himself."

The empress was a little surprised: "Father Song Hui won't lie about this, he said that it was Li Zhongyi's handwriting, so it must be Li Zhongyi's handwriting, strange." ”

She thought that the so-called last letter must have been forged.

There must be other people standing behind Bai Xiaosheng who oppose him.

The empress didn't expect that Li Muzhi's current imaginary enemy was her own blood relative, after all, it was possible to snatch her throne.

"What else did Song Hui's father say?"

"Lord Song said that he would go to see Bai Xiaosheng in person, and he would definitely find out the truth."

The empress pondered for a long time, and then sighed faintly: "Father Song Hui, what is he trying to find out how Li Zhongyi died?" Or do you want to check the authenticity of the contents of the last letter? ”

The female officer knelt on the ground, not saying a word, her body trembling terribly.

……

Natural dwelling.

Song Hui's father met Bai Xiaosheng.

When old friends meet, there is no warmth.

Bai Xiaosheng knew why Song Hui's father came.

Song Hui's father also knew that Bai Xiaosheng knew why he came.

But Song Hui's father's first sentence shocked Bai Xiaosheng's heart.

"I have broken the secret of the last letter. It is true that all the handwriting on the letter is written by Li Zhongyi himself, but those words are all spliced together. Lao Bai, forging such a unique letter, a big deal, you can't do this kind of thing, who is the person behind you? ”

"It's me."
