Chapter 218: Burning the Body (Part II)

The informant had returned to the Hou Mansion, keeping in mind Xie Zheng's advice, and deliberately walked through the back door, and learned from the maid in the house that Xie Niangzi was eating tea with the county marquis in the guest hall in the front yard.

And Xie Zheng didn't know that he came back to report the news, it was Yuzhi who saw him first, Yuzhi knelt on the side behind Xie Zheng, and saw that the informant was walking here, so he whispered to Xie Zheng: "Lady, Xiaolinzi is back." ”

When Xie Zheng heard this, he looked sideways out, at this time Xiao Linzi had already walked in, and when he raised his hand and was about to salute, Xie Zheng said in a loud voice: "No need to salute, let's talk about business." ”

Xiao Linzi then put down his hand again and said: "There is no movement in the Linchuan Palace, but I just saw that Zhu Zhuzhu's book went out once, and met with a man in the small alley next to the palace, and went back after a while." ”

"What is the identity of the man who met him, and have you ever gone with him to investigate?"

"This ......" Xiao Linzi replied hesitantly: "The second brother sent Anzi to follow, but it was inconvenient to follow him in the alley, so Anzi has been guarding the alley, but I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, I didn't see him come out, and when I went in, I found that the person was gone." ”

Xie Zheng was thinking about something, and inadvertently frowned, Xiao Linzi saw it, lest she blame her, so he hurriedly lowered his head and took the blame, and said: "It's the villain's incompetence, I didn't expect that person to be scheming, if he followed up in the alley at that time, he wouldn't let him run away." ”

Seeing Xiao Linzi's self-blaming appearance, Xie Zheng couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't blame you, An Zicai just followed the alley, he had already noticed that someone was following, and he must also be a master, if you rashly followed the alley at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that you can still walk out unharmed." The implication is that if you follow up at that time, I'm afraid it will be a dead end!

When Xiao Linzi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, but fortunately, the second brother gave Anzi a look at him at that time and told him to stop, otherwise, with Anzi's temperament, he would have to follow him to the end.

Shen is more than halfway through, the sky is still bright, but because of the dark clouds in the sky, the sky is dark, it seems to have reached the evening, especially in the afternoon, it is even more impatient, Yuzhi heard that Xiao Ying still did not move, and looked at the sky, so as not to be a little anxious, so he asked Xie Zheng: "Lady, seeing that it is late, there is no movement on the side of King Linchuan, we can't delay!" ”

"Let me think about it."

Xie Zheng was already thinking about countermeasures, and Xiao Linzi saw that she was busy, and she didn't have time to tell him what to do next, so she simply tried to say: "That...... Xie Niangzi, if there is nothing to do, the villain will go back to pick up the second brother first......"

"Wait," Xie Zheng suddenly stopped him, but said, "You don't have to go back, I still have an errand to give to you." ”

"Xie Niangzi, please say," Xiao Linzi respectfully bent down and bowed to Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng then ordered: "You go to Water Street to find a few people, ask them to spread the news in the eastern suburbs, and say... Our Royal Highness the King of Linchuan instructed Duzhi Shangshu to collect money for him, and he wanted to recruit troops and buy horses, so that he could compete for the throne in the future. ”

Xiao Linzi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie Zheng innocently, until Xie Zheng waved his hand and said to him, "Go", he reacted, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the villain will arrange it." ”

Xie Zheng looked at Xiao Linzi walking away, and suddenly laughed: "If he doesn't move, then I'll force him to move, I won't believe it, give him the hat of recruiting troops, and he can wait for Xie Guifei to come back safely!" ”

Huan Ling sat opposite the coffee table, and when she put down the teacup in her hand, she picked up the teapot on the side and added tea for her, and suddenly smiled faintly and asked, "It seems that Lu Huilin has to die today?" ”

"Since the day the Lu family decided to support King Linchuan, he has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, and it is not a pity to die by searching for the people's fat and ointment!" Xie Zheng raised his eyes to look at Huan Ling and said.

"Then how can you be sure that he will definitely confess to the king of Linchuan before he dies, and how can you guarantee that His Majesty will believe that it was the king of Linchuan who killed him?"

Xie Zheng chuckled, "Didn't the county marquis forget, Zheng Hui of the Tingwei Bureau, he is the person of King Wuling!" Who did Lu Huilin die in, and did he confess anyone before he died, and it was not a matter of his words? ”

Huan Ling pondered for a while, seemed to be a little hindsight, and said in a slightly questioning tone: "So you have planned the whole thing from the beginning, from the performance of the imperial history platform to the interrogation of the Imperial Commander's Office, it is all in your plan, and you are now ordering You Xiao and a few of them to secretly stare at the King of Linchuan, just to ensure that your plan can be foolproof!" ”

This also means that while Xie Zheng is calculating the King of Wuling, he will also put Huan Rang, who played this matter on the imperial history platform, and Zheng Hui, who interrogated Lu Huilin in the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, so if Xie Guifei wants to seek revenge in the future, Huan Rang and Zheng Hui are also among his enemies...... When Huan Ling thought of this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Xie Zheng didn't notice that he had a cold face, he just got up and walked to the door of the guest hall, looked outside, and said: "Just because of the tax corruption, it is far from being able to completely overthrow the king of Linchuan, even if he goes to the fiefdom, he will always be a powerful county king, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not get up again in the future, after all, there are so many forces up and down the court, who can ensure that everyone is loyal to the prince?" When she said this, she sneered again, and then said: "But with the previous incident of Cheng Rate, the punishment for several crimes is very different, only by trapping him in a cage, or taking away the royal power in his hands, can he never turn over." ”

After she said that, she looked back at Huan Ling, and saw him staring at the teacup in front of him expressionlessly, and he didn't expect what was wrong with him, but it was just for his white-eyed wolf brother who turned his elbow out!

Xie Zheng disdained to explain, and only asked Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, Shicai Xiaolinzi said that he saw Zhu Jian meeting with a man?" ”

Yuzhi also noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird, and thought that Xie Zheng was planning to go out, so he hurriedly cooperated with her and replied: "Yes." ”

Then I saw Xie Zheng walking out quickly, and only dropped a sentence: "Then I'll go over and take a look." ”

Xie Zheng took the jade branch, the master and servant left one after the other, Huan Ling saw Xie Zheng go away, looked at her back thoughtfully, and finally just sighed lightly, and said to Zeng Qionglin: "Send two people, don't protect Zhong Xuan." ”

"Yes."
