It was still the third watch time this night, and Lan Ting returned to Anping Yuan.

Chungui has lifted his spirits a little, at least it no longer looks like an eggplant that has been beaten by frost.

It was late at night, but the two of them still sat by the window and drank a pot of tea, and there was the sound of rain outside the window, which had been interrupted half an hour ago.

The night when there are no stars and no moon is particularly cold.

"Don't say today's 'fish that slipped through the net', it should be a test of Meng Zhi's reaction, right?" Spring return first asked.

"Meng Zhi confessed too suddenly today." Lan Ting held the teacup in one hand, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "I have almost concluded that he deliberately showed his truth, and his unbearable attitude was also his disguise, our initial judgment should be wrong, Meng Zhi is not a dark chess piece that the real murderer behind the scenes is determined to protect, at least...... When the real culprit realized that Yuan Ji was going to be defeated, he was also determined to let Meng Zhi sacrifice, the purpose was to make us believe that the case had been completely concluded. ”

"In that case, Meng Zhi is not the only mole?"

"I'm afraid it's that bad." Lan Ting's head bowed: "Meng Zhi's real allegiance should not be Yuan Ji, although Yuan Ji is the mastermind of poisoning Yuan Tongzhi, he is also being used. ”

"Don't you already have a suspicious candidate?"

"Such an unpredictable method can only be used by Zheng Xiu, the Duke of Wei." Lan Ting didn't hide his thoughts from Chun Gui: "But what still confuses me is that Zheng Xiu's true purpose, he is inevitable against His Highness, but why do you repeatedly try to get me out of danger?" And which prince is Zheng Xiu assisting? At present, it is absolutely impossible to be the king of Qin, Zheng Xiu has the ability to strategize, why let the king of Qin lose in advance and compete for the storage position? But it can be said that the eighth prince ......"

Lan Ting shook his head: "I can't believe it. ”

"But it seems that there is only one of the King of Qin and the Eighth Prince." Chungui analyzed: "It is absolutely impossible for the King of Linzi, and at present, it seems that it will not be His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, and the rest of the many princes are not able to participate in the competition at all, and there is no sign of winning Zheng Xiu's allegiance to the best of his ability, Zheng Xiu cannot devote all his strength to assist a prince who has no interest in him at all, only the King of Qin and the eighth prince, one is the nominal heir of Zheng Guifei, and the other is also married to the Duke of Wei. ”

"The most important thing is that we can't grasp any of Zheng Xiu's crimes now, and we don't even know his next backhand and conspiracy, sacrificing Meng Zhi to ensure who continues to hide." Lan Ting was at a loss: "The situation of being beaten passively is really infuriating." ”

"If you torture Meng Zhi ......"

"Meng Zhi risked his fame and fortune and even his life, and he was willing to sacrifice, what is the use of torture?" President Lan sighed: "And this case is broken, it is enough to bring Yuan Ji to justice, and the balance between the cabinet ministers for many years has been completely broken, at this time, if we don't forgive, I'm afraid we will violate the taboo of the emperor, although the emperor is a benevolent king, but in the supreme position, it is still inevitable to have the taboo of being the lord of the ministers, such as ...... The emperor has always been unwilling to see the princes fratricidal, that is, he finally decided to make His Royal Highness the prince, and he will inevitably protect the two kings of Linzi and Qin, which can be punished, but it is absolutely not allowed to ask the ministers to be executed. ”

Chungui also felt that it was difficult, even Meng Zhi couldn't torture him, and it was even more impossible for her to use coercion and temptation to deal with Yuyang Zhenjun, who was even higher than the emperor...... The end is to make people gnash their teeth and be angry.

"That key mole, can you have an idea?" Spring return can only ask.

"Now I see everybody

Suspicion. Lan Ting smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the only one who can be completely trusted is Huihui." ”

It's a sweet word, but it's not a good attitude.

What I am most afraid of is to look at everyone suspiciously, often easy to fall for the enemy's tricks, and blame the good people but ignore the traitors.

"Let's rule out people who can't be moles." Chungui is still trying to dissect: "First of all, Tong Ti is sentenced. First, Tong Ti Xing is only a criminal official, and does not participate in local government affairs, so it can be said that the role of Tong Ti Xing is even less than that of Meng Zhi, if Tong Ti Xing is a traitor, Zheng Xiu cannot make the decision to sacrifice Meng Zhi; Moreover, if Tong Tixing is an internal traitor, when Ke Quan accused him of using torture to coerce and lure, Tong Tixing admitted it in public, believing that no matter how much the emperor relied on King Zhou, he was afraid that he would be suspicious and veto His Highness and his Royal Highness's request for advice. ”

"Makes sense." Lan Ting bowed: "What's next?" ”

Chun Gui was speechless, because she really didn't know which other guarantor was innocent.

After a while, he said: "Can you infer it from Yuan Ji's position in reverse?" Yuan Ji was used by Zheng Xiu without knowing it, so there must be Zheng Xiu's eyes and ears around him, and it was this eyes and ears who lobbied Yuan Ji to poison Yuan Tongzhi and protect Meng Zhi. ”

"It's unlikely that this ear or eye is Yuan Ji's guest." Lan Ting apparently also tried to infer from this direction: "What we do know is that the Liang family is the key person in Yuan Ji's plan, and the Liang family must be a dead soldier, but it is unlikely that this dead soldier will be arranged for Yuan Ji, because Yuan Ji's decision to serve the king of Linzi was after the emperor's eldest grandson was deposed, and it is impossible for him to install a dead soldier in Jiangnan a few years ago, and as a cabinet minister, Yuan Ji has no need to privately train dead soldiers." ”

"The Liang clan can only be the king of Linzi, or the dead soldier of the Duke of Wei." Spring Returns.

"No matter who the Liang family is, it must be the ears and eyes who recommend it to Yuan Ji, but if this eyes and ears are a guest, it is not enough to convince Yuan Ji to believe in the Liang family."

"In this way, this ear and eye should be equivalent to Yuan Ji's identity!"

"There is another possibility, this ear and eye are ostensibly the henchmen of King Linzi."

"Then there can be no one who doubts?"

"There are too many suspicious people." Lan Ting was really helpless: "It was a matter of early age that the King of Linzi intended to seek a prince, and there were many henchmen and wingmen in the circle, and Yuan Ji had a lot of protégés, so it would not work at all to investigate the traitors on our side from this direction." ”

Spring return has no other way.

Speaking of which, this traitor is limited to a limited number of people, but the limited number of people are all the right-hand men of King Zhou's side, and it is impossible to abandon them all because one of them is suspicious, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee the continued implementation of the decree, so there is no need for Zheng Xiu to use conspiracies and tricks, and the government is frustrated, how can King Zhou have the merit to win the throne?

Several princes are generally incompetent, and they all return to the same running line, and the emperor can only be taller among the short, so King Linzi and King Qin also have a chance.

"That's it, there's no need to rush to find out the traitor, I believe that as long as he carries out the conspiracy, there will always be traces." Lan Ting drank the tea in the cup and took Chungui's hand: "Settle it early, although we found out He Ligong in time and designed to expose Qian Baipo's conspiracy, but I am afraid that in addition to He Ligong in the Wu Palace, there are fish that have slipped through the net, His Royal Highness and I are powerless to be distracted, and the Tao family can't count on it, and we can only rely on Huihui to put an end to it, in short, we all have to cheer up in order to consolidate this hard-won advantage." ”

The next day, Chungui was ravaged by Ju Sha for a long time before he opened his eyes.

Of course, Uncle Zhao was no longer there, and after a while, he got up and filled his belly with breakfast, planning to arrange it first

Yin's mother and daughter helped the two to return home, and the two of them had many inconveniences along the way, and they needed to let a wingman accompany them to take care of many matters on the way, Chun Gui thought about it and thought that it was more secure to entrust this matter to Zhao Shizhou.

Zhao Shizhou is actually not a wingman of the Taishi Mansion, according to the generation, he should be called the clan uncle of the Lan Ting, and this time he also took the female dependents with him, and the two of them escorted the Yin mother and daughter, so he and his wife escorted the Yin mother and daughter, so the spring return first led the clan aunt to meet with the Yin family, and said some words: "After the completion of the mourning period for the lady and Ling Lang Ling, please come to the capital, and the two sons can study with the children of Zhao Men in the Xuanzhutang clan, as for the Yuan girl, do not hide from the lady, I and Ling Yan, there is really sympathy for the same disease, if the lady can trust me, then Ling Yan will be removed, It's also time to get married, let me do my best It's good, when the grandson mentions Yuan Tongzhi, he doesn't sigh, saying that Yuan Tongzhi will not be harmed by this, and he can be a pillar of the future minister, so please also ask the lady not to see the foreign courtesy with my family, although the grandson and Yuan Tongzhi are on the side, but they really regard Yuan Tongzhi as a fellow friend, and are willing to be with the Yuan family, forever married to the good of the family. ”

The Yin family naturally would not refuse the kindness of the spring return.

Of course, the matter of returning to the homeland of the coffin, you can't just say that you can go, this also needs to ask the divination period, the world regards life and death as a major event, and death is especially greater than life, just like the vast majority of people really believe that there are dead souls after death, and there are gods and Buddhas outside the sky.

When Chungui returned to Anheiyuan from Yin's temporary residence......

She saw her maternal grandfather and two uncles.

At that moment, she didn't even feel anything strange, and opened her mouth to ask: "Didn't my grandfather and uncles go to Fenyang?" How did you return to the Wu Palace? When did you come back? But there was an accident on the way? ”

But suddenly she stopped.

It was as if she suddenly realized that this was in her bedroom, and even if her grandfather and uncle returned to Jinling, they would not be able to enter her bedroom directly!

And when I came in just now, there was no maid who reported it in advance.

Chungui's chest was clenched suddenly.

In an instant, she understood what was happening, but she couldn't believe it.

With a "bang", it was a potted plant on the flower stand, which was directly knocked down and smashed to the ground by Chungui.

Qingping and Ju Xi were both alarmed, they rushed through the door, and saw the owner with a stunned face.

There is no need to elaborate on the chaos of the army.

It was unbearable to cry out loud, Chun Gui knew how strange her behavior was in the eyes of the maids, but she couldn't care so much at this time, because she knew that there would be no more luck, no matter how unbelievable what she saw in front of her, but her maternal grandfather and two uncles, in addition to her parents, her other three family members, are no longer alive, they have become undead, and none of them have been spared.

The last side was the farewell of the Comfort House, but at that time she still felt that the reunion was expected, and she never thought that the farewell would be ...... Yin and yang are separated.

The impermanence of life and death, the change of festival mourning, seems to be a logical eight characters, a sigh commonly used to comfort others.

But if it's about themselves, who can take it seriously?

The maids in the courtyard were in a hurry, and Ju Xi couldn't help but go to inform Lan Ting.

The spring return was finally stopped.

She couldn't explain, she could only stop the maids with a shred of reason, she slammed the door shut, she looked at her grandfather and uncle with red eyes, but her vision was still blurred, she bent over, and clung to her collar until she heard her grandfather say—

Chun'er, don't be too sad.
