Chapter 120: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

Today, I finally caught the idle Wutong, and hurried over to ask.

"He should be regarded as a strict governor, but then he defected." Wu Tong replied.

"Mutiny?" Blue Baby is curious.

"He and his subordinates were also involved in the Wushi Sanshi case, and he refused to go into detail about what happened, but he also admitted that he was guilty."

Wu Tong took a slow breath and continued: "Now that those missing officials in Zhangcheng have not been found, he must have hidden something. ”

Blue Baby knew that Zheng Huaiqi must have had a purpose when she approached them before, and at first she thought she was doing something for the people behind the scenes, and wanted to lead them into a misunderstanding.

But in fact, he more or less helped them provide a lot of clues, just like Lu Xin.

Zheng Huaiqi recognized him, and he must have known that he had the account book in his hand, but he never stopped it, and took care of Lu Xin very carefully.

After Lu Xin provided them with clues, Zheng Huaiqi asked someone to go to the black market to buy chronic poison, wanting to kill Lu Xin unknowingly.

If she hadn't been unintentionally bumped into at that time, and later Feng Wei saw the clues, Zheng Huaiqi was in a hurry to lead people to escape, but he was afraid that Lu Xin would have died at this time.

But listening to Feng Wei, Lu Xin's current situation is not very good, although he still has a breath, but he doesn't know what kind of poison he has, the doctor can't solve it, so he can only lie in bed all day long, relying on decoction to relieve the pain on his body, and maybe he will lose his breath.

It's impossible to get something out of his mouth.

"I'm not with you, Your Highness sent me to Zhangcheng for a trip, I'll go first." Wutong waved at her, turned and walked away.

The aftermath of the case is even more cumbersome than when the case is investigated, His Royal Highness and Feng Wei basically live in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and the blue baby wants to go over to help, but His Royal Highness does not allow it.

Two days later, Wutong returned from Zhangcheng and brought back a piece of news.

The few officials who were lost in Zhangcheng were found, but only a pile of bones remained.

The bones were found in an abandoned house in the North City and thrown into a pond.

Beicheng has long been forgotten by the people of Zhangcheng, and no one usually goes in and out of it, let alone anyone walks into a deserted house for no reason, so the body has not been found.

Moreover, this deserted mansion was a little far away from the location of the Five Stone Scatter Transaction, and the people of Youdu Guard did not pay attention to it at first.

Later, when the whole city was searched, because these white bones sank to the bottom of the pond, many of them were buried in the mud, and they were never found.

It wasn't until Wu Tong passed over and the remaining arresters were interrogated that they finally told the truth and told the place where the body was hidden.

After another inquiry, Fang learned that as early as two years ago, these officials were killed by them because they were unwilling to participate in the trading of Wushisan.

At that time, there was a lot of panic in Zhangcheng because of the sin of the mountain gods, and many people moved out overnight, so they casually threw people into the pond of an empty house.

The lost official was found, and several arresters also confessed to the crime, but Zheng Huaiqi was still reluctant to reveal too much.

It wasn't until the remnants in the Scorching Sun Fort couldn't bear to admit their guilt and told the inside story of a case that Zheng Huaiqi finally broke down laughing.

"So what did he confess?" On the day of the beginning of autumn, the group finally embarked on the journey back to Beijing, and the blue baby sat outside the carriage, chatting with Wutong while looking at the scenery along the way.

"Admit that the master of the Sheng family was killed by him." Wu Tong replied.

Surprised, the blue baby asked, "Isn't that his uncle, why did you kill him?" ”

Wu Tong said: "Zheng Huaiqi was greedy for money, fame and fortune, and under the lure of Yan Dudu and others, he agreed to cooperate with them and build Xifeng Mountain into a treasury with five stones. Later, he killed the craftsmen who built the warehouse in Xifeng Mountain, most of these people were prisoners who came to serve, and it was not in the way if they died. In this way, it can not only extinguish the mouth, but also use it to intimidate the people of Zhangcheng, which is really killing two birds with one stone. ”

"So does this have anything to do with him killing Master Sheng?" Blue Baby asked.

Wu Tong smiled, "Listen to me slowly, Zheng Huaiqi and those Rao were originally quite strong, until his parents were killed more than half a year ago, Zheng Huaiqi found out that it was because his mother found out about Master Sheng's private deeds, so he persuaded him to stop." ”

I didn't want Master Sheng to refuse to listen, and I also poked out Zheng Huaichi's matter, Zheng's father and Zheng's mother were shocked, and rushed back to Zhangcheng overnight to persuade Zheng Huaichi. In order to appease them, Zheng Huaiqi pretended to agree, thinking of finding an opportunity to send them away first. Within two years, his parents were killed at home, and the murderer left a warning letter. ”

At that time, Zheng Huaiqi knew that it was the people above who were afraid that his parents would poke things out, so they started to kill him. Zheng Huaiqi held a grudge because of this, and his mood gradually changed. Later, he pretended to continue to cooperate, but secretly collected all kinds of evidence, and the ledger in Lu Xin's hand was sent by him. ”

"It's a pity that Lu Xin has the heart to expose it, but he is weak, and he can't succeed in the end."

Blue Baby interjected: "I remember that the reason why His Majesty sent His Highness to patrol the pastor was because some rumors spread to the capital. Could it be that Zheng Huaiqi also did this? ”

Wu Tong nodded, "After he met you in Zhangcheng, he planned the rest of the matter, and guided you step by step to find out the truth. Lu Xin thought that Zheng Huaichi, like him, wanted to expose these crimes, so he believed his words and provided us with clues. As everyone knows, Zheng Huaiqi is just using him, and later he will kill him. ”

Lan Baobao shook his head, he really didn't expect that there were so many things behind Zheng Huaichi.

Thinking about it, the death of his parents must have dealt a big blow to him, and he may even have been psychologically distorted, and the meaning of his life after that should be just to avenge his parents.

Do you want him to be pitiful, in fact, he doesn't deserve sympathy at all.

He killed so many people for his own selfish interests, and his parents were also indirectly killed by him, when he dreamed back at midnight, would he also understand this, so he couldn't accept the death of his parents.

In the end, his ruin was just to atone for his sins.

When I came, there were many turmoil all the way, and the planned one-month period was finally delayed to two months.

The way back to Beijing was very peaceful, and I rushed to the eighth road unhurriedly, and before entering the capital, someone had already sent a letter back.

So when the carriage stopped in front of the palace, as soon as Lan Baobao stepped out of the carriage, he was startled by the battle in front of him, and almost stepped on the air and rolled down.

She shook her body and stood still under the carriage, looking at the neatness of the station in front of the gate, the inner and outer three layers of attendants and guards, and couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly.

His Royal Highness's pomp is really big, that is, when he returns to the palace, he is almost going to dispatch the entire palace.

"Your Highness, you're finally back." As soon as the leader of the Lan steward saw Jin Lingluo stepping down from the carriage, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and saluted.

Jin Lingluo raised his hand to help the person up.

Steward Lan looked at him for a moment, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness has lost some weight." ”

Jin Lingluo curled the corners of his mouth, showing a rare smile that could be called gentle, and the blue baby stood next to him and was stunned. So much so that when everyone surrounded His Highness, she could only be forced out of the circle, and she almost fell under her feet.

Fortunately, someone next to her helped her, and before she could see who the other party was, an arm climbed up her shoulder.

"Bao'er, you're finally back, and you miss my brother and me."

This greasy and charming tone immediately gave the blue baby goosebumps.

Turning his head to look over, Wu Fei's fairly upright face was close at hand, and when the four eyes met, he immediately threw a wink.

The blue baby couldn't help but shake his shoulders again, and realized that he was being taken advantage of, and hurriedly went to take the other party's hand.

It's just that she was just halfway through this action when she heard someone shouting not far away: "Blue." ”

Instinctively, the blue baby turned her head to look, and was shocked to find that everyone was looking at her and Wu Fei, including Her Highness.

She immediately had a feeling of being a thief, and hurriedly pushed everyone away and ran towards King Ling.

Butler Lan next to her noticed her and said hello with a smile.

The blue baby also smiled and bowed back, and the highness beside him had already walked to the palace.

Feng Wei took the opportunity to drag the blue baby, and the two walked side by side behind His Highness.

"What's the matter with you, as soon as you return home, you will pull and pull with others, and you are not afraid that Your Highness will cut you." Feng Wei whispered in her ear.

Blue Baby flattened his mouth aggrievedly, and explained: "Conscience, I was squeezed by someone, and it is by no means what you see. ”

Feng Wei gloated and teased, "You should keep this and explain it to His Highness." ”

Blue Baby couldn't help but roll his eyes.

After returning to Heguang Tongchen, the blue baby was busy sorting out His Highness's salutes, and was busy until the evening before finishing the cleanup.

Thinking that his salute should be sent over and piled on the bed, he walked up to His Highness and asked, "Your Highness, everything is packed, and dinner will have to wait for more than half an hour." If you want to go back first, you must come before dinner. ”

She also has a lot of salutes, so she should pack up early, and when she finishes serving His Highness, she can go back to sleep.

"Tell someone to bring the salute." Jin Lingluo looked at her and commanded without doubt.

The blue baby didn't understand what he meant, and she didn't go back just now to pack up her salute, why did Her Highness suddenly do this?

Seeing that she looked ignorant, the corners of Jin Lingluo's mouth curled slightly, and said, "There is a side hall next door, you will live there in the future." ”

Blue Babies looked at each other in disbelief.

His Royal Highness wants her to live in a courtyard with light and dust, and although that side hall is rarely used, the scale and configuration are not something that she can afford to live in.

"This king is okay for the time being, you go and clean up the side hall." Jin Lingluo waved his hand.

The blue baby finally came back to his senses, but it still didn't feel real, and he went to clean up the side hall in a trance.

In the past, only His Highness lived in the entire Heguang Tongchen, and the attendants in charge of sprinkling and sweeping and the guards who patrolled also lived in other courtyards.

Now when Blue Baby thinks that he will live here in the future, and he will live next door to His Highness, he is both flustered and has an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Although the side hall was rarely used before, someone would clean it every day, and the blue baby used to clean it up just to make the bed and quilt.

However, it is a good time to take the opportunity to go back and get your luggage.

When she returned to the cloud room to stay, she was inevitably surrounded by people in the courtyard again, and some came to greet her, and the blue baby smiled and responded with a few words.

"Bao'er, come in." Wu Fei stood at the door of the room, waving at her enchantingly, with a smile on his face.

Blue Baby ran over, said hello, and saw that Wu Fei was about to lean on her again, so he hurriedly walked sideways and went straight to his bed.

At this hour, a few of the people in their house were busy working outside, and two of them were sitting on their beds, and when they saw her return, they only greeted her without emotion.

Lan Bao was not surprised, looked at the bed, and said in shock: "Where's my luggage?" ”

Wu Fei hurriedly came over and said as if to take credit: "I have already helped you clean up, and the beds have been dried for you, and the bedding is freshly changed." How, am I very virtuous? ”

The blue baby stared at the neat bed, and the anger came up and went down again.

Be calm, you must be calm, Wu Fei is also helping her, she should be grateful.

"You're great, thank you." Baby Blue patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, then opened the cabinet and repacked his luggage.
