Chapter 44: Joining forces
Zhen Bei's heart was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't complain that there would be a feeling of being watched at that time, it turned out that he was also there at that time!
The person who attracted the officers and soldiers to scare her away must be him!
Zhen Bei's mind flashed with thousands of thoughts in an instant, and she sneered angrily: "You are following me? ”
The corners of Nangong He's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at her meaningfully and did not answer.
After a long time, the anger on Zhen Bei's face gradually receded, and she said helplessly: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you!" Although he is a native of Yongchuan, he admires the noble discipline and superb methods of judging cases of Lord Qin Wuchen of your country! This time I came to Nanyang Kingdom, I was happy, hoping to get to know Lord Qin, but I also had a long-cherished wish! Who would have thought that after coming, he learned that Lord Qin was actually arrested and put in the prison, and he was convinced that he was innocent, so he would visit the criminal department at night, just to see how it was recorded in the case records, so as to solve the doubts in his heart! ”
"Oh?" Nangong played with it in his hand, and Zhenbei's favorite two delicate celadon tea cups seemed to smile and said, "Then you have a conclusion at this time?" ”
Zhen Bei tried to ignore his unbeaten actions, nodded and said, "I firmly believe that Lord Qin is wronged!" ”
Nangong He stopped talking, and played with the two tea cups back and forth, left and right, and kept circling around the table.
The "thump" sound of the tea cup hitting the tabletop made Zhenbei feel frightened and distressed, she lowered her eyes and forcibly tolerated her anger, her fists clenched in her sleeves.
Finally, the voice stopped, and Nangong He said slowly: "Then do you want to overturn the case for Qin Wuchen?" ”
Zhen Bei looked up at him in disbelief, with Nangong He's status, if he could help him, Qin Wuchen would have escaped this catastrophe.
It's just that for no reason, why did he wade into this troubled water, you must know that this person is not a warm-hearted knight!
In any case, there is no time to lose.
Zhen Bei pretended to be surprised: "Is Your Highness the Ninth going to invite me to join me and redress Lord Qin's grievances?" It should have been like this a long time ago, Lord Qin is the pillar of Nanyang Kingdom, destroying this good tree, and the people and the country will lose a lot! Good! I promised to join forces with His Highness to save Lord Qin from coming out! ”
Nangong He glanced at her lightly, got up and walked out: "This king saved him only out of selfishness!" Go to a place with this king tonight! ”
Seeing him talking, he walked out of the chamber by himself.
Zhen Bei hurriedly chased after her, however, when she stepped out of the door, Nangong He's shadow had long been lost in the courtyard.
She didn't give up and shouted around, "Hey! Where exactly are you going? ”
The shouts reached into the sky, startling away a few pairs of whispering birds in the trees, but there was no response.
But Peony heard the voice and peeked out of the kitchen window: "Childe, the noodle line is ready, are you two eating in the room, or in the courtyard?" ”
Seeing Zhenbei standing there stunned and not answering, she shook her head and shrank back.
Let's say, Zhenbei was stunned for a while, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned back to the room.
She carefully examined the inside of the pair of teacups, and after making sure that they were intact, she let out a long breath:
"This hateful Nangong He!"
Putting the teacup back in order, she slowly walked to the stone bench under the willow tree in the courtyard, sat down, and shouted, "Peony!" ”
Peony responded happily, took two bowls of noodles and two side dishes with a tray, one cold and one hot, and walked out of the kitchen: "I don't know that person, son, do you like chili peppers?" The slave didn't season it in his bowl, but brought some spices! ”
"No need! He's gone! Zhen Bei gritted her teeth.
After dinner, Zhen Bei sent the peony back to her house early, and she changed into a night suit, sat in the room, and quietly waited for Nangong He's arrival.
Nangong He didn't explain what time of day he came, Zhen Bei found a place to hide the pair of teacups, sat in front of the window and waited for a while, seeing that he hadn't come yet, he took a copy of "Strange Tales from a Foreign Country" from the study, and waited while reading.
Just after the bell rang, the door was finally pushed open.
Zhen Bei raised her eyes and saw that Nangong He walked in with an expressionless face.
She hurriedly put down the book in her hand and stood up: "Where are we going?" ”
In the dim light, her face became more and more indistinguishable beauty.
Nangong He glanced at the book on the table, his eyes flashing slightly: "In the palace." ”
Yan Cheng, who was given to death by Qin Wuchen, is Concubine Yan's younger brother, if you want to say that Qin Wuchen's arrest this time has nothing to do with her, I am afraid that ghosts will not believe it!
"Until then, it's best to comb through the clues you already have!" Nangong He unceremoniously sat down on the brocade chair where Zhen Bei had sat before, looking at the much empty tabletop, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At this time, they have joined forces, and there is no need to hide it from him.
Zhen Bei told everything she knew: "The Shi family's case is indeed the mastermind of Na Yan Cheng, and Qin Wuchen did not misjudge!" From the words of the neighbors nearby, it can be seen that it should have been Yan Cheng who killed Shi's family first, and then set fire to create the illusion that they died in the fire!
However, they didn't expect that that night, Shi Yuliang happened to be not in the mansion! Afterwards, Yan Cheng and the others were worried that Yu Liang found out the clues, so they simply fabricated some perjury, so that he was charged with murder, and he was over! But people are not as good as heaven, because of the importance of this case, it was directly reported to the Criminal Department and into the hands of Qin Wuchen!
"Yan Cheng's little tricks naturally can't hide from Qin Wuchen's eyes. Under the conclusive evidence, Qin Wuchen ignored the Yan family's secret pleas, and resolutely sentenced Yan Cheng to death, and it was a decisive decision! Concubine Yan is the only brother who must hate Qin Wuchen to the bone, and when Qin Wuchen is unprepared, she set a trap and will take him into an army! This concubine only needs to blow the wind on the pillow in the emperor's ear, and the great revenge will be avenged! ”
The moonlight sprinkled all over the room, pulling the figures of the two upside down into a slender and long one, wanting to intersect somewhere, and like extending infinitely, there will never be a day when they will coincide.
Nangong He listened quietly, and waited for her to finish before she said coldly: "It's generally good, but you look down on my father too much, although he likes women, but he is definitely not a faint king!" Qin Wuchen is a decent person, he never participates in the prince's open and secret battles, and is his henchman, right-hand man! With Concubine Yan's ability alone, if she wants to blow the wind on the pillow or set a trap, she will bring down Qin Wuchen and make her father ruthlessly break her arm, it is absolutely impossible! There are other people who want Qin Wuchen's life, and the Shi family's case is just an introduction! ”
He casually picked up the book "Strange Tales of a Foreign Country", flipped a few pages, and continued: "If you want to overturn the case for Qin Wuchen, you must first find out the reason why he is willing to admit to accepting bribes in front of his father, I am afraid that I need to see him in person;
"It would be very difficult to reassemble the witnesses of that time, and I am afraid that they would have been secretly cleared out. Otherwise, Qin Wuchen would not have fallen into such a field. But what is certain is that Yu Liang, who was convicted of being a murderer and did not need to be assassinated, did not record the news of his death in the official document, indicating that he is still alive! At this time, I'm afraid Concubine Yan and others are also doing their best to find him, if we can find him and ask about some of the details, it is very important to overturn the case! ”
Zhen Bei nodded in agreement while listening, and after a little thought, she added: "It is also an excellent way to find out the helpers behind Concubine Yan and debunk their conspiracy!" ”
Her eyes were bright and dazzling, like a lake with stars reflected in the night, and the waves were flowing!
Nangong He was slightly stunned, and said in a dumb voice: "That's right! ”
He actually thought of her from this young man again!
He hurriedly stopped the distracting thoughts in his heart, coughed lightly, got up and walked to the window, so as to hide the abnormality on his face.
"The palace is heavily guarded, with my martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in!" Zhen Bei said frankly.
If it weren't for this reason, she would have wanted to enter the palace to find out the bottom of this concubine.
Nangong Hetou didn't reply, and said slowly: "This king knows!" I didn't expect you to help in the first place, so don't make a mess of it! ”
In that case, why do you pull me along?
Zhenbei's mouth was choked back, and he stared at him angrily and thought secretly.
Nangong He seemed to guess her thoughts: "But your mind is much more delicate than this king's, and you may be able to find useful clues." ”
