Chapter 129: Tracking down the murderer
() After the daughter-in-law of the Sun family and others came, they knew that Xue Ke had indeed recovered from a serious illness, and knew that she had no kung fu, so they also went to be a little wary. Xue Ke was in a much better mood because he returned to the fairy girl, and he circled around the fairy girl. The people around him were a little angry when they saw that their wife was so easy, but they relaxed their attitude towards Xue Ke a lot.
After getting along for two days, Immortal Gu was already convinced in her heart that Xue Ke was not the one who killed Ren Yao. It's winter now, it's rare to have a little sunshine outside the window, Xue Ke asked people to move the soft chair under the window, and helped the fairy girl to sit down: "Sister-in-law, come and bask in the sun, at that time my aunt was pregnant with my younger brother, her legs and feet often cramped, my mother said that this is my brother stretching his waist in the belly, basking in the sun more so that the baby is more comfortable in the belly." ”
When the fairy aunt mentioned the baby, her face exuded a kind of pathetic tenderness, and she sat on the chair in the past, slowly listening to the report of the next person who came to worship today. Xue Ke was also listening, but he kept saying words to convince him.
Hearing what she said, the fairy aunt ignored what she said, sighed, and said, "Ah Ke, I can handle it, the Sun family, you go to the side room and tell her about Brother Yao." ”
The daughter-in-law of the Sun family knew that her wife no longer doubted the girl in front of her, so she nodded and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”
Half an hour later, Xue Ke came out with a solemn face, at this moment she knew that Ren Yao's death was actually planted on herself, and after knowing that it was not the hands and feet of King Qin, she didn't know why she was relieved in her heart, and she also understood that she had walked in front of the ghost gate a few days ago.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for trusting me so much!" Xue Ke walked to the fairy aunt and squatted down, put his hands on her stomach, and said softly and in a low voice: "Ren Yao's revenge, I was going to avenge it, sister-in-law, you believe me, take care of your body, and leave the revenge to me." ”
The fairy girl shook her head.
"Shall I help you, then? There's no way I'm out of it. ”
The fairy girl glanced at her: "You're already helping me." ”
Xue Ke smiled, and the confidence and resoluteness in the eyes of the two seemed to be back on the polo field.
On the third day, when King Qin came over, Immortal Gu asked Xue Ke, who knew the details, to come over too. Abandoning his subordinates, King Qin asked anxiously, "Ah Ke, are you okay?" ”
Xue Ke nodded: "Today, the doctor saw it and said that it was fine, I am here with my sister-in-law, you can rest assured." ”
King Qin exhaled and solemnly thanked the fairy aunt, who waved her hand: "I don't know what news the prince brought today?" ”
King Qin sat down and said, "It is precisely to discuss this matter." The three of them gathered around a round table, and Xue Ke took another lumbar pillow and put it behind the fairy girl. The three of them each told each other what they knew, and found a lot of doubts from it.
"Anyway, no one else knows about Ren Yao giving me the jade pendant, at that time, the shadow guards of the East Palace were all in the courtyard, and I only had Ah Liu by my side, and Ren Yao did not bring an entourage. But this person knows that it is really unreasonable to use Yu Peiyu to serve as a Yao. Several people speculated for a long time, Xue Ke shook his head, still puzzled: "Ah Liu can be ruled out, I believe her." It was also impossible for the prince to arrange this, and the prince had not yet returned. ”
"By the way, Ah Que, who is Mochen? Is he from my Xue family? ”
King Qin frowned and did not answer for a while.
The fairy aunt also contemplated and said: "If you think about it carefully, the matter started from the beginning of Mochen, what did he design Ah Ke for?" ”
King Qin sighed and said with a little difficulty: "He is not your brother, he is my brother." ”
"You mean, he's the emperor today?"
King Qin nodded: "Mochen's mother is a princess of a tribe in the Western Regions, more than 20 years ago, when his father was still the crown prince, he had fought with the West, his father maybe, may also have a negative Mochen's mother, all in all, my father only knew about Mochen's existence after Mochen came to the capital this year, so he asked me to take care of him privately, after all, his mother was not very glorious later, and Mochen himself grew up in the Qinglou, and it is impossible to recognize him." ”
Xue Ke and Immortal Gu were both taken aback, Xue Ke remembered that Mo Chen talked about his mother, and his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, and couldn't help asking, "Then does he know his identity?" ”
King Qin shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I know, maybe I don't know, we haven't mentioned this topic." ”
"Then why did he say that he was the illegitimate son of General Xue?"
"I'm afraid that I also hate General Xue's hatred of exterminating the clan, maybe he counted this hatred on Ah Ke's head, on the one hand, he poured the dirty water of the Xue family, and on the other hand, he led Ah Ke out."
"That's a good explanation." Fairy Gu nodded: "It's just, where did he get the news of Ke'er?" ”
"I'm looking it up too. Ren Yao was also checking this before. King Qin glanced at Xue Ke: "I didn't tell anyone about this. ”
"It's really weird." Xue Ke glanced at King Qin: "It seems that there is a problem within the palace. ”
"Could Ren Yao have something to do with what is being investigated, could it be that Ren Yao found out something that was killed?"
The fairy aunt shook her head: "Brother Yao didn't hide Ke'er's affairs from me, and he didn't have any eyebrows. Xian Gu recalled again: "Only that day, he went out to Yonghe Building before he could say anything." However, I remembered it, the prince should also have the impression that Brother Yao said that Mochen is not alone, and he is afraid that he is related to Concubine Yang. ”
King Qin nodded: "Yes, Ren Yao guessed so, so he asked Concubine Yang to stumble on the way into the palace on the same day, and then put Concubine Yang under house arrest until I returned to Beijing, and after I came back, I reported to the palace that Concubine Yang was ill, and she never entered the palace after that." I also asked her, but she insisted that she entered the palace just to say goodbye to the queen mother. So there's no conclusive evidence that Mochen has a connection with her. Besides, I also paid attention during this time, and I didn't find that the two had any contact. ”
"Is it just a coincidence?"
The three of them fell into deep thought.
Xue Ke suddenly said again: "There is someone who is very suspicious, Master Zhang Xiaohou!" I was in Hongxiao Mansion and his subordinates recognized Ah Liu as a person from the East Palace, and Ren Yao's accident was also in Yonghe Building, and Yonghe Building was the property of Zhang Xiaohou's mother, the county lord. ”
King Qin nodded: "Yes, Zhang Xiaohou Ye is indeed a coincidence." But he is a person, really, very bland. ”
Seeing Xue Ke's puzzled eyes, the fairy aunt explained: "Brother Yao stared at him for a while, but he is not the county lord's son-in-law, the county lord has always been strict with him, and his own personality is also very dedicated. As for going to Hongxiao Mansion that day, Zhang Xiaohou said that he was just invited by a friend, and the subordinates who spoke out at that time were not the subordinates of the county lord's mansion, but just mixed in the crowd, and it seemed that the little marquis was being used. ”
King Qin's fingers tapped lightly on the table: "It seems that these people still have to keep an eye on it, Mrs. Ren continues to let the people of the secret gang keep an eye on Zhang Xiaohouye, and I will keep an eye on Mochen's side." ”
The fairy girl nodded. Xue Ke had a natural wariness of Yang Siniang, and couldn't help but say, "What about your side concubine?" ”
King Qin smiled bitterly: "She killed the princess, and I've been staring at it over there!" ”
Immortal Gu and Xue Ke both looked at her in surprise: "She killed the princess?" Isn't it her own sister? ”
"Well, this matter is a long story, Liu Niang understands the righteousness, let me not move her first, but she is ruthless, and sooner or later she will end."
The fairy aunt glanced at the king of Qin, and saw that he said that the princess was just like a subordinate official in her hand, and sighed secretly in her heart, she was born in the palace since she was a child, and this familiar power struggle and scheming made her sigh in her heart: "What is she for, doesn't she know the situation of the Yang family, and she can't kill the princess!" Could it be someone instigating? ”
"Who's at the behest? It's just her wishful thinking! ”
Seeing that King Qin didn't care, Immortal Gu didn't continue the topic. Today she has heard too many palace secrets, and her heart is a little disgusting.
Xue could see her expression, and couldn't help but worry: "It's better to come here today, sister-in-law, I'll send you back to the house to lie down." ”
It was a coincidence that two days later, there was news from Zhang Xiaohou's side. The hall master of the dark gang was reporting to the fairy aunt at 1510, and his eyebrows were dancing.
"That day, our brother saw this little marquis staring at the jewelry in the West Market and felt that something was wrong, but the kid had no money, so he looked at it for a while and left. Later, Mrs. Gao Ming, came up with the idea, we spent 5,000 miles of silver according to Mrs. instructions to buy this set of jewelry, this set of jewelry colored gems is rare, no wonder it is expensive, the ruby on it is the size of a pigeon's egg, like a small lantern. ”
Xue Ke laughed: "And then? ”
The hall master blushed, he was so easy to adapt to talking back in front of Mrs., who knew that there was a girl like flowers and jade in front of Mrs. these days, even more uncomfortable, just when it came to jewelry, he was a reckless man, he had never seen such valuable jewelry, after buying it back, he looked at it first, and just now he couldn't help but say again: "That, that, we found a reason, saying that it was a loss of business, and continued to return to the hometown, to be folded in half, he was really happy to hear it, and paid the money." ”
"I didn't hear that he had a favorite girl before, and the county lord was also proposing marriage to him, and I heard that he didn't care very much, and said that he was not in a hurry to get married, and at this time he spent a lot of money to buy such a set of jewelry suitable for young women, but he wanted to see what was hidden."
"Madame said before that the little marquis is willing to spend a lot of money to buy this set of jewelry, which shows that he values this woman in his heart, and this woman's background is not too bad, but Madame can't guess who this little marquis gave the jewelry to!"
Seeing that Mrs. and Xue Ke were looking at themselves for a long time, the hall master became more and more excited: "Hehe, that little marquis is actually a broken sleeve and gave the jewelry to Yang Sanlang!" ”
Immortal Gu and Xue Ke glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little speechless: "If he really has broken sleeves, why do you give jewelry?" ”
The hall master scratched his head when he heard this: "That's what Madam said, so why did he give Yang Sanlang?" ”
"Presumably it was handed over to someone through Yang Saburo!"
"That's right! It must be so! The hall master suddenly realized: "Our people stared at it for a while, and found that Yang Sanlang and Xiao Hou Ye behaved intimately and secretly for a while, so they naturally thought so." ”
"I don't know who the unmarried girls of the Yang family are?"
Xue Ke was guessing, and the voice of King Qin came from outside the door: "Don't guess, the jewelry is for Yang Siniang." ”
The curtain was lifted, and King Qin strode in, his face gloomy.
"Yang Siniang? Isn't that your side concubine, Lord Wang? "The hall master can't react a little, this is a bright green hat?
King Qin turned his head to look at this reckless man, and didn't say anything.
The fairy aunt said: "Hall Master He, you go down first, don't say more." ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones know the measure." When Hall Master He left, he still looked at King Qin sympathetically. He couldn't imagine that someone like King Qin would encounter such a thing.
Xue Ke looked at King Qin's gloomy face, and couldn't help but laugh, and when Hall Master He walked away, he couldn't help but smile: "After seeing the inner garden of King Qin's mansion, it is also very lively!" ”
"That's not as lively as the East Palace, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pamper two or three concubines in a row some time ago? The queen mother is waiting to hold her grandson. ”
Seeing the two of them facing each other, the fairy aunt was amused and sighed in her heart, and coughed lightly: "How can it be Yang Siniang?" How did the little marquis get on her side? ”
King Qin glanced at Xue Ke's changing face, felt a little relieved, turned to the fairy Gu and said, "I don't know when I got on it, I only found out last night that Yang Sanlang handed over the jewelry to Siniang, it must have been a while." ”
"In this way, the matter is connected, it seems that the matter of Hongxiao Mansion has nothing to do with Yang Siniang at all. There are Mochen, Xiao Hou Ye and Yang Siniang in Hongxiao Building, and there is also Xiao Hou Ye in Ren Yao's matter, it seems that he can't run away from Yang Siniang, I don't know if there is ink dust. ”
"I underestimated the honest man of the little marquis." King Qin snorted coldly.
"If Mochen was also involved in the killing of Ren Yao, it would be in the past." Xue Ke pondered: "Although he was not present during the meeting between me and Ren Yao that day, he was in the building where he lived at the time, maybe someone saw Ren Yao give me a jade pendant, and maybe he saw Ren Yao afterwards and found that there was no jade pendant, and he could also speculate." ”
As soon as these words came out, King Qin and Immortal Gu both fell into deep thought. What Xue Ke said made sense.
"If the little marquis is for Yang Siniang, and the motive is also said in the past, then what is Mochen for?"
King Qin frowned, he didn't suspect Mo Chen, after all, he was a brother who was related to him, and Mo Chen had always felt that Mo Chen was still relatively close to him.
"Could it be that Mochen is also Yang Siniang's minister under the skirt?"
Immortal Gu and Xue Ke looked at each other, thinking so in their hearts, but they didn't expect King Qin to say it himself.
"I'll look into this again. Now it's just just doubts. While speaking, King Qin opened a food box he had brought with him, and several people were shocked by today's news, but they ignored what he brought. At this time, King Qin opened the food box and smelled a pungent fragrance, which were all small snacks that were common in winter, fried chestnuts with sugar, twist flowers with salt and pepper, plum blossom cakes, etc.
"Hey, Ah Que, have you gone to Maren Hutong? This is Rong Fang Zhai's dim sum! Xue Ke was pleasantly surprised, she had always loved to eat these.
King Qin looked at her eyes, but showed his first smile of the day: "Hmm! Passing by, I bought some. ”
The fairy aunt stood up with a puffed stomach and said, "I've been sitting for a long time, go to the front for a walk, and by the way, I will order a pot of tea." ”
"Sister-in-law, I'll accompany you." Xue Ke hurriedly stood up and helped her.
The fairy girl waved her hand: "I'm fine, you can sit down." ”
