Chapter Seventy-Seven: Murder and Silence
But right now, he has to rely on Shao Yuyu behind Cao Wenxue.
However, if he knew Cao Wenxue's situation at this moment, I am afraid that he would not have this idea anymore.
It was already late at night, but Lin Yue was still staying in the palace with Shao Sijin at this time.
According to his lead, the two evaded a group of patrols, and finally came to an open place in the dark.
Looking at the dilapidated wall door in front of her, Lin Yue inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, when had she ever been here?
was suspicious in her heart, but Shao Sijin had already pulled her in.
The candle flame lit in his hand at some point emitted a faint light, which could only illuminate a distance of one foot in front of him, and the side could not be seen clearly.
"Who?!"
A female voice suddenly sounded, giving people a sense of seclusion in the huge space.
Lin Yue almost exploded on the spot, but fortunately, Shao Sijin grabbed her in time, and the person who spoke out just now had already appeared.
"Red, red locust?"
Widening her eyes in surprise, Lin Yue really didn't expect the appearance of the red locust.
No wonder the Cao family has not been able to find her clues these days, I am afraid that no one would have thought that she could hide in the palace, even if Cao Zhennan has the courage to find out here.
"This is a deserted cold palace, because no one will come near here on weekdays, so I was relieved to get her in."
The candle flame in his hand was raised slightly, and Shao Sijin explained to her while paying attention to Lin Yue's reaction.
"Oh......" cold palace.
"W-What? Cold Palace?! ”
As soon as Lin Yue screamed, she was gagged by Shao Sijin.
Putting his fingers between his lips and making a silent motion, Shao Sijin saw that she had completely calmed down, so she slowly let go of her hand.
Feeling that the warmth gradually left him, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart.
The light of her eyes subconsciously put it on Lin Yue's rosy and full lips, a little reluctant to give up her softness.
"Ahem."
I don't know how long it took, but Shao Sijin reacted by himself and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
Thinking that Lin Yue didn't notice this at this time, and finally found her reason from the horror, she couldn't help but tremble a little in her heart.
Cold Palace...... It seems that a lot of people died in the ancient cold palace, didn't those concubines and concubines who were imprisoned end up committing suicide in the end?
How many people have to gather in a cold palace, not to mention that it's still late at night......
Trembling, Lin Yue finally restrained herself from thinking deeply, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Shao Sijin staring at her in a daze.
It took several gestures in front of him to bring back his senses.
Isn't he scared too? It's just that because of the man's face, he refuses to admit it?
looked at Shao Sijin's appearance thoughtfully, but fortunately, Lin Yue's thoughts in her heart did not let Shao Sijin know.
Time has been delayed for a while, and during this time, Honghuai has been silently standing aside and watching the two.
Touching her nose, Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed, and her steps unconsciously accelerated a lot.
Finally walked into the main hall, through the faint light of the fire, Lin Yue saw the simple straw mat on the ground at a glance, and couldn't help but be stunned. Qiyin
At this time, Shao Sijin had already lit all the candles in the house, so that Lin Yue could see the situation in the house more clearly, "You big straight man! Just let a girl's house sleep in a place like this? ”
Seeing that there was only a simple mat and a thin quilt in the hall, Lin Yue couldn't help but hold her forehead a little speechlessly.
Thinking that the arrest warrant of the Cao family had lasted for several days, and Honghuai had lived in such a situation for so many days, Lin Yue was a little impressed.
Frowning, Shao Sijin was still unaware of this.
Even the red locust didn't pay attention to it at all, "It's okay, what are you looking for me?" ”
After a few breaths of stunnedness, Honghuai asked.
Lin Yue then remembered the purpose of her coming, and after hesitating for a moment, she still said her thoughts.
"Why should I trust you?"
After listening to Lin Yue's words, Honghuai did not deny it.
She did have some of it in her hand, but ...... Rather than fighting Shao Sijin, she would rather destroy the Cao family herself.
Frowning, Lin Yue said, "Isn't the cooperation of these days enough to make you believe in us?" Our purpose is the Cao family, now is a critical period, as long as you come up with evidence, the Cao family will not turn over at all, isn't this what you want? ”
"I can only say that you think too simply."
Honghuai said lightly: "That fire also burned part of the information in the account room, and it is difficult to use the broken half of the pages as evidence, if someone in Huazhai has seen those account books, you can only find him." ”
After that, Honghuai took out the materials from the corner behind him, and most of them were burned by the fire.
However, from the half sheet of paper, some information can still be seen.
is full of information about the cooperation between Ruhuazhai and all parties, although it shows that the Cao family is behind Ruhuazhai, but there is no way to convict Cao Zhennan.
I thought that as long as I found the red locust, I could solve the problem, but I didn't expect that now I need to go back and forth.
"Fortunately, now that the Cao family has been placed under house arrest, we just need to hurry up and find that person."
Out of the house, Lin Yue said, and her steps couldn't help but be a little faster.
Since they can think of this, they don't know how the Cao family is now......
The moment he thought of this, Cao Zhennan immediately ordered to secretly arrest Ruhuazhai's people.
Because Zhao Mei was Mrs. Cao's cousin, she escaped by luck, and after escaping from the Cao family, she kept looking for Cao Wenxue to go to Yuwang's mansion.
However, Cao Wenxue's current situation is not much better at all.
She slammed the coffee table over, but she was gasping in pain because of the wound on her body.
Ruhuazhai's matter not only made the Cao family miserable, but Shao Yuyu's side was also deeply implicated.
Not only was Shao Sijin found out his share in Ruhuazhai, but also directly exposed his cooperation with the Cao family, and the emperor was furious after hearing this.
In just an instant, Shao Yuyu was severely punished, and he was ordered not to step out of Yuwang's mansion for half a step!
"Damn, I must not be dragged down by that slut, I have to think of a way, think of a way......"
In the ink hall, Shao Yuyu paced back and forth in the room uneasily, his face full of anxiety that could not be concealed.
For a time, there was a sense of depression in the entire capital.
Zhao Mei curled up in the heart of the dilapidated hut that Cao Wenxue had prepared for her, praying secretly.
At this time, Lin Yue and Shao Sijin were looking for those people in Ruhuazhai, and when they learned about Cao Zhennan's actions, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
But fortunately, Ah Ying quickly found out Zhao Mei's clues, and told Lin Yue the news that she was now hiding in Yuwang's Mansion.
