Chapter 699 - Anonymous Reporting and Checking Evidence
Huo Aobang stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively: "Your idea is a new idea. If these things were not done by one person, it seems that they would make more sense...... Today, in the early dynasty, some people also said that in addition to the queen and Yun Guifei, there may be a third person. ”
Wan Lin continued: "Now that the queen and Concubine Yun are both suspected, to be honest, I also believe that there is a third person among them. And the person who kidnapped me may have been the third person. ”
When Wan Lin spoke, Fu Xiaojiu was silent, because she was guessing who was threatening her with Wan Lin's life?
And Fu Xiaojiu still has a question, she already knows that Father-in-law Ji retorted that the queen instructed him to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu, what is going on?
Could it be that Father-in-law Ji said loudly at that time that he was identified by Yun Guifei, just to make people question this? All this is Yun Guifei's bitter trick?
Fu Xiaojiu felt a little chilly on her back when she thought of this, and said in her heart that she really looked away, and she was deceived by Yun Guifei!
"Xiao Jiu, what are you thinking? Do you have any clues? ”
Zhen Yingzi saw that Fu Xiaojiu was stunned alone, and gently pulled down Fu Xiaojiu's sleeve.
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu came back to his senses, there was a hint of inconspicuous anger in his eyes.
"Ma'am, I think I seem to have made a mistake."
Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to say anything about her being threatened, but Huo Aobang and Zhen Yingzi came to help them, and she didn't want to give up such an opportunity to bear everything alone.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhen Yingzi asked puzzled, and Wan Lin and Huo Aobang also looked at her with puzzled faces.
"I found this under my father-in-law that day."
Fu Xiaojiu took out the secret letter.
The three of them read the secret letter in turn, Wan Lin took the secret letter in his hand and looked at it, and said: "This is a very common kind of secret letter, and Yushitai often receives such secret letters, all of which are anonymous to expose and report officials. ”
After reading it, Wan Lin asked: "Master Hou, you have been an official for many years and have seen a lot of knowledge, can you see any clues from this secret letter?" ”
Huo Oubang looked at the secret letter from the inside to the outside again, and said: "This secret letter is indeed a very common secret letter as you said. But ......"
Huo Aobang looked at the words on the note carefully, and said with a little doubt: "But the words on this look a little special." ”
"Do you recognize the handwriting?" Wan Lin asked excitedly.
Huo Aobang shook his head, "No, I don't recognize the handwriting on it, strictly speaking, I just see that this ink is a little special." You see, the ink glows purple jade in the sunlight. ”
Wan Lin hurriedly leaned over and took a closer look, and suddenly remembered where this ink was special.
"Master Hou, this kind of ink seems to be called super lacquer smoke, this ink can exude a purple jade luster, used for calligraphy to be dark and moist, it is a very expensive ink. Xia Guan once received a piece, but he has not been willing to use it until now. ”
Li Dalong once gave Wan Lin a piece of such ink.
Huo Aobang immediately said: "If this ink is really worth a thousand gold, and he can write secret letters with such ink at will, it means that he doesn't take such good ink in his eyes." A person who can be so generous must be either rich or expensive, and it is not ordinary wealth, I am afraid that only the relatives of the emperor will be so wealthy, right? ”
After Huo Oubang finished speaking, the four of them fell into deep thought.
Since the secret letter is threatening Fu Xiaojiu to cooperate with the overthrow of the queen, then with this secret letter, it can be ruled out that the queen instructed someone to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu and kidnap Wan Lin.
However, this secret letter still cannot be used to relieve the queen of drugging Yun Guifei.
But in this way, Yun Guifei and her mother's family have become the biggest suspects again.
After a while, Fu Xiaojiu said: "If the queen is innocent, then there are only two possibilities. It's either Yun Guifei's own bitter trick, or as you guess, there is a third person, who is her hand on Yun Guifei and the two of us, and then she framed Yun Guifei, making everyone think that she wants to bring down the queen. ”
Wan Lin continued: "What the lady said is right, after all, everyone knows that Yun Guifei is the biggest beneficiary after the queen falls, if this matter is not done by Yun Guifei herself, it will be easy for the third person to make people suspect Yun Guifei." ”
Zhen Yingzi pressed her temples and said, "This case sounds so complicated, can Jing'er find out the matter?" ”
Huo Aobang comforted her with a relaxed face: "Madame, don't have a headache, this case is actually not that complicated, as long as you have patience, you can find out, and you must also have confidence in Jing'er." ”
Wan Lin also had great confidence in Huo Jing, "Madam, don't worry, although he is young, he is very smart, and he will definitely find out about this matter." And I'm fine, and I'll be able to assist the prince in investigating the case tomorrow. ”
"Xianggong, you better leave this matter alone, have you forgotten that someone threatened me with your life? If I don't cooperate with that man to bring down the queen, you will be in danger at any time. I don't want to stay up all night looking for you again. ”
Wan Lin smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, lady, when I help Shizi find out who is behind the scenes, I will not be in danger." ”
"Wan Lin, Fu Langzhong, you don't have to worry. From this day on, I will send people to protect you in the open and in the dark, and to ensure that your whole family is well protected! ”
With Huo Aobang's words, Fu Xiaojiu was relieved, and the couple quickly thanked him.
Not only that, Huo Aobang said something that made them even more reassuring: "My wife and I have already decided that after finding the real person behind the scenes, we will go on a tour of the mountains and rivers." ”
Wan Lin immediately said: "Master Hou, madam, you don't have to affect the original plan for this matter. The emperor also attaches great importance to this matter, and this matter will soon have a result. ”
Huo Aobang patted Wan Lin's shoulder and said earnestly: "You Yu Jing'er are gracious, we can't watch our benefactor in danger and go away by ourselves." Don't worry about it for you or Fulang, for I'm sure it will soon come to light. ”
Huo Aobang and Zhen Yingzi didn't stay here for too long, they had to go back and deploy manpower to protect Wan Lin and his wife, and let Wan Lin continue to rest.
After sending off the husband and wife, Fu Xiaojiu did not rush to let Wan Lin go home, but let him continue to rest in the Hanging Ji Hall.
Because there are many people in Xuanjitang, Fu Xiaojiu feels safe, at least she will have to wait for Huo Aobang to arrange the people who protect them, and then she can rest assured that Wan Lin will go home.
Huo Jing was fearless when he was investigating clues, and as soon as he found anyone suspicious, whether it was a wealthy family or a relative of the emperor, he would investigate it.
He received an anonymous letter at noon today, which said that Dou Xianji was the mastermind behind the assassination of Fu Xiaojiu by the man in black, and he was also the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Wan Lin.
Huo Jing only hated that he was in a hurry to save Fu Xiaojiu's mother and son, and in a hurry, he killed all the people in black, leaving no one alive.
He also ordered someone to carefully examine the whole body of the man in black and the weapons he used, but there were no clues.
And the anonymous letter said that the evidence was in Dou Xianji's study, and he would find it when he arrived.
Huo Jing was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this anonymous letter, but he was not afraid of offending Dou Xianji, thinking that even if he went to the air, he only needed to apologize to Dou Xianji when the time came.
Thinking so, Huo Jing took people directly to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
Dou Xianji is a good talker, and he also expected that because of his identity, Huo Jing would find out about him sooner or later.
Before Huo Jing began to search in his mansion, Dou Xianji instructed him: "The old man is not afraid of shadows, so if the prince wants to investigate, just check it." But there is one thing, don't mess with the old man's house, otherwise the lady will be angry. ”
Huo Jing politely reassured: "Don't worry, we are not bandits and bullies, we are just looking for things in your house, if we can't find them, we will definitely put the things that have been turned out in their places again." ”
Huo Jing was actually holding back the fire in his heart after receiving the anonymous letter, not because he was afraid of offending Dou Xianji, but because he was afraid of wasting his time.
Because the anonymous letter only said that Huo Jing should go to Dou Xianji's study to look for clues, but he didn't say what the clues were.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Huo Jing also asked people to find other places at the same time.
Huo Jing took people to look for a long time in the study and didn't have a clue, but when he was confused, he suddenly noticed that there was something strange on the shelf.
Although Dou Xianji is a clumsy fat man now, he was a general who made great achievements in war when he was young, and it is normal for him to have some swords, guns, swords, and halberds in the study.
However, there was not a single weapon on his bookshelf, all books.
But there was something in the bookslivel that didn't fit in with the books.
Huo Jing carefully took the thing off the bookshelf.
"How did this thing end up here?"
Looking at this dagger, a big question mark appeared in Huo Jing's heart.
This dagger is actually the same pair as the dagger that Ji's father-in-law assassinated Fu Xiaojiu at that time.
Ji Gonggong's dagger was used as evidence, and Huo Jing had seen it.
The pattern on the handle of that dagger and the pattern on the handle of this knife are exactly what they want to form an eight-treasure wishful intent.
Huo Jing carefully put the dagger on the bookshelf into his arms, and then rummaged through the bookshelf for a while, but found nothing else, so Huo Jing gave up.
"Shizi, have you found anything in the old man's study?"
Dou Xianji saw that they hadn't come out for a long time, so he came over to take a look.
He asked casually, completely as if he didn't care about himself.
But in Huo Jing's eyes, he is scheming.
Huo Jing first gave him a polite fist, and then said: "The junior really didn't come in vain this trip, and he really found something." ”
As soon as he heard Huo Jing's words, Dou Xianji was shocked.
"Dare to ask Shizi what he found?"
Huo Jing took out the dagger and asked directly, "Master Hou, is this dagger your thing?" ”
Dou Xianji smiled with relief as soon as he saw this dagger, and admitted frankly: "This dagger belongs to the old man!" By the way, this dagger should be a pair, why did you only take one hand? ”
