Chapter 141: Striking the grass and startling the snake, leading the snake out of the hole
"That's right, after leaving the city yesterday, Princess Aoshuang got out of the carriage and changed to riding a horse, Princess Yiru also rode with her, the two of them threw off the team more than ten feet away, we heard Princess Yiru's scream, at that time, Princess Aoshuang had fallen off the horse, with the sleeve arrow stuck in her neck, and she was already dead."
"In other words, Princess Auris was killed by a Hidden Arrow while riding a horse?" Lan Jing turned his head to look at An Yiru, "Dare to ask Princess Yiru, you and Princess Aoshuang were riding forward on horseback at that time, how was the speed?" ”
"Not too fast." An Yiru estimated that he had been told by An Yulang, his tone was not good, but his speech was smooth: "You have been assassinated repeatedly in Yongdu, and Princess Aoshuang and I don't dare to stay too far away from the team, and we already planned to stop at that time." ”
"After Princess Auris was killed, did you notice any unusual behavior, such as people flying away with light skills, or other sounds?"
"Nope." An Yiru shook her head.
"When we came, we went to the place where Princess Auris was killed, there are dense forests on both sides, and if someone is ambushed in it and suddenly sneaks in, it will be difficult to dodge." Blue Mirror continued, "When you and Princess Auris approached there, were there any birds coming in and out? ”
"Yes." An Yiru said coldly: "Not only then, since we left the team shortly, there have been birds flying above our heads and in the territory around us, I thought that we were riding horses to startle those birds, so I didn't think much about it, now that I think about it, there should be at least two people following us in the dense forest on the left and right sides of the official road." ”
"That's right." Blue Mirror hooked her lips and smiled, "Just like a princess, do you remember, when everyone began to investigate the murderer, who was the first to accuse you?" ”
An Yiru raised her head suddenly, "What do you mean, do you believe that Baili Aoshuang was not killed by me?" ”
Lan Jing said with an extremely serious expression: "Princess Yiru is confused, I never said that the murderer was you." ”
An Yiru was surprised: "Why? ”
"What, why?" Blue Mirror had a question mark in his head, "My prince was ordered to investigate the case, I was greedy for fun to take the right to investigate the case from the prince, but this does not mean that all things can be played, my task is to find out the murderer and hand it over to the prince, the name of the princess of Jiangdu is quite good, I don't want to find a scapegoat casually and smash the signboard of my prince!" ”
A mouthful of "my lord" made An Yiru have mixed feelings in her heart, but she still said calmly: "Since you are willing to believe in my innocence, no matter what it is, I will cooperate with your investigation, I can die if I am peaceful, but it is impossible for people to die unjustly!" ”
To be honest, since the last time the post house was cut off by Beitang King's Landing, it was the first time that Lan Jing saw An Yiru such a serious appearance.
She nodded appreciatively, "There is backbone, so, can you tell me now, who was the first person to accuse you of being a murderer?" ”
An Yiru heard this, fell into the memory, and said for a long time: "The first one, it should be the third prince, but after all, he is the brother of Princess Aoshuang, my situation at that time was indeed suspicious, he was suspicious of me, I can also understand, but there is a person, although he is not the first to speak out, but he is the most fierce, and even, when the third prince wants to store Princess Aoshuang's body in the ice cellar, he also proposed to pull out the sleeve arrow on Princess Aoshuang's body." ”
An Yiru said this, An Yulang also remembered, "It's Peng Zhiyan!" ”
"How so?" Princess Purple Shadow screamed in disbelief, but she subconsciously looked at Lian Zhen, only to see that the person pretending to be an ordinary guard, standing in the crowd, looking at Princess Purple Shadow's gaze, Lian Zhen's gloomy eyes made Princess Zi Ying shiver, and the warning was self-evident.
Princess Ziying silently turned her head, pretending not to do anything, and took the initiative to hold the people around her accountable, "Peng Shangshu, this matter, if it weren't for the princess and Gongzi An to say it, this princess really didn't pay attention, how did this princess not know, when did you Peng Shangshu become so enthusiastic about the affairs of other countries?" ”
"Princess, angry!"
Peng Zhiyan immediately put on a very scared look of Princess Ziying, "Weichen is just not angry that the princess was involved by An Yiru and the county lord of Poyang, and her reputation was ruined before leaving, so she was eager to implement the identity of Princess Yiru's murderer, and moreover, Weichen is not the only one who suspects Princess Yiru, from yesterday to now, Her Royal Highness the princess is not unaware, almost everyone in the company believes that Princess Aoshuang died at the hands of Princess Yiru." ”
Peng Zhiyan's words are really impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
However, the people around Beitang Junlin were not so easy to fool, and only listened to the night wind and said quietly: "The person who murdered Princess Aoshuang may not know that when he started yesterday, the poison he smeared on the sleeve arrow may have also infected himself, so the prince, the princess, and his subordinates don't need to investigate this case, and by the time they wait until tonight, the person who died will be the murderer." ”
"You can really be lazy, it's so simple, is it necessary for Your Majesty to send our prince and Liang Da Commander two important ministers to investigate?" Lan Jing was very disgusted, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Prince An, after yesterday's incident, have you ever checked who left the team at the time of the incident?" ”
"Not really." Baili Aoshuang shook his head and said: "At that time, on the road, after the incident, the king was in a hurry to place the royal sister, and when he arrived at the post house, the king was also impulsive, so he subconsciously thought that the princess was the murderer of the royal sister, and then later, Zhou Fuyin sent someone to report to the lord of Kyushu, and the king did not interfere in the investigation without authorization." ”
"Your heart is really big enough, and the most direct way of investigation has been blocked." Lan Jing turned his head to Beitang Junlin and said, "Lord Wang, you can start your mission." ”
Beitang Junlin nodded with kindness, "Nightfall, you can check everyone's left and right hand forearms, but if there is any injury on the forearm, all of them will be controlled on the spot." ”
"Yes, lord." Nightshade turned and walked away.
An Yulang took the initiative to say: "Do you want to provide the list of the mission team?" ”
Lan Jing bowed his head and thanked him, "Thank you Gongzi An for your compassion, we were prepared when we came." ”
An Yulang looked at Lan Jing's confident appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: "A few days ago, you were still the princess of Lan Zhaoguo, you were careful everywhere, and you were afraid of offending someone, but now you are already the majestic princess of Jiangdu, and even the king of Jiangdu listens to you, which is really emotional!" ”
"I think so too." Lan Jing said, raised his head slightly, and looked at Beitang Junlin, "It may be that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and when you enter the Jiangdu Palace, you can't be too childish, and you will be embarrassed to my lord, right?" ”
"I don't want to smash the signboard of the king of Jiangdu, and I don't want to embarrass the prince, the princess can really think about the king of Jiangdu." An Yulang said to Beitang Junlin with envious eyes: "King Jiangdu is really a blessing! ”
"Thank you!" Beitang Junlin has always been polite to others, and when he heard An Yulang's words, he even nodded, "This king himself also thinks that he is very blessed to be able to have such a princess!" ”
"I've finally heard you say a good word!" Lan Jing looked at Beitang King's Landing with disgust, "I thought I would be your princess, and I wronged you to death!" ”
Beitang Junlin was serious and saw each other, "This is what you said, this king didn't say it." ”
In the crowd, Jiang Yuning looked at the intimate appearance of Lan Jing and Beitang Junlin, his eyes darkened, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't take the initiative to come forward to greet Lan Jing, when Night Death brought someone over, he said hello to him, Jiang Yuning also took the initiative to ask his subordinates to cooperate with Night Death's investigation, but he never took the initiative to talk to Blue Mirror again.
The post house had already been blocked, and there were lists of envoys from various countries in hand, and the speed of checking was not slow, and more than a dozen people with wounded arms were soon found.
Seeing that Ye Di had picked out so many people, Lan Jing was surprised: "These people, are they all injured on their arms?" ”
"Yes, Princess." Nightshade agreed.
The blue mirror dragged Beitang Jun to those people's side, "Excuse me, you guys raise your arms again and let me see." ”
Those people raised their arms one by one, and the blue mirror looked over one by one, and Beitang Junlin said speechlessly: "You can see for yourself, what are you doing dragging this king?" ”
"Stay with me." Lan Jing was arrogant, dragged Beitang Junlin to look over one by one, and finally stopped in front of an unfamiliar guard, "Are you from the Purple Country?" ”
"Yes, Princess." The guard simply agreed.
Blue Mirror continued to ask, "How did the arm hurt?" ”
"Back to the princess, this wound was scratched by the armor on his body the afternoon before yesterday when he was sparring with the brothers in the camp."
"Hmm" Lan Jing nodded, continued to look at the next person's injury, looked at one, asked one, circled down, and turned back to the other guard, "Your arm, how did you get hurt?" ”
"Back to the princess, this is a small one who was accidentally injured by a woodcutter when chopping firewood this morning."
"Really?" The elder of the blue mirror dragged his voice and asked a guard next to him, "Do you think that a woodcutter can cut out such a scar?" ”
The man said solemnly: "Back to the princess's words, I think that this angle is more like I cut it myself." ”
"Coincidentally, I think so too." Blue Mirror said, pulled off the hairpin on his head and scratched the guard's injury, the guard immediately withdrew his hand in pain, and one end of the hairpin of Blue Mirror also turned black, Blue Mirror looked at the hairpin, and seemed to be very surprised, "Ah, it turned black, you were poisoned, don't you know?" ”
The man's face changed sharply, and he glanced to the side nervously, and then said, "Could it be that there is some misunderstanding, the small one is just a cut by the woodcutter, how can it be poisoned?" ”
"Don't you believe it?" Lan Jing hooked his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched the guard's tiger's mouth, the guard's face immediately changed, and in the next second, his hand was slapped down by Beitang King's Landing, and Lan Jing turned his head, "What are you doing?" ”
Beitang King's Landing had a wooden face, "What are you going to do, let Nightshade do it for you." ”
"It's over." Lan Jing wrinkled his nose and grimaced, turned to the guard and said, "How, do you feel like a hundred ants churning in your body, sour and itchy?" ”
