Chapter 459: Looking for Ma Rong
Song Ping, Qian Yi and others were not to be outdone, and they all stood up to help Chu Lin speak, pointing out that this incident was framed by someone, maliciously poisoning and smearing Mei Ji, poisoning innocent people for their own selfish interests, and trying to shake the country.
The two parties insisted on their own words, and they quarreled in the main hall, which made Chu Pei have a headache.
"Immediately arrest and make cooked lo-mei, and interrogate the criminal department overnight, isn't it clear whether it is black and white at a glance!" Chu Pei couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, and when the people below saw this, they immediately closed their mouths.
"Your Majesty, by all means, Du Ying is completely unaware of this matter, she is still a little girl, where can she withstand the punishment of the Criminal Department, if this is the case, it will only be a trick and wronged." Chu Zhan took a step forward, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Hmph, what happened in her delicatessen, no matter how much you excuse it, it's in vain!" Chu Pei was extremely displeased to refute, and he slapped the dragon chair suddenly.
"She is a little girl, she is unintentionally calculated, so she naturally can't prevent it, and she also asks the emperor to read that she is a descendant of Marquis Xu, first find out the situation, and make a decision." Chu Lin clenched his fists and pleaded.
"Since ancient times, the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, should the descendants of the Hou Ye be above the national law, and you are still a royal family, so you are so perverted to favoritism!" Chu Zhan harshly accused Chu Lin.
"Du Ying was framed, and asked the emperor's brother to participate in the trial of this case." Chu Lin ignored Chu Zhan's provocation and continued.
"Your relationship with her sister is unclear, it's better to avoid suspicion!" Chu Pei, who was high above, snorted coldly.
"The younger brother already has some eyebrows about the person who poisoned him, and he also asks the emperor to give him a few days of grace, and when I catch him, he will be handed over to the criminal department for processing." Chu Lin didn't want to say it so early, but now that the form is imminent, he can't care so much.
"Okay, I'll give you two days, if you can't hand over someone, don't blame the law!" Chu Pei waved his hand impatiently.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, if you find someone to blame for the crime at that time, how can you be worthy of those unjustly dead souls!" Chu Zhan asked anxiously.
"Are you doing this for the so-called souls, or is it for your own selfish gain? Dare to refute the holy will in front of the court, do you still have me in your eyes! Chu Pei couldn't bear to be questioned again and again, he leaned forward, and stared straight at Chu Zhan with a pair of eagle eyes.
"Brother don't dare!" Chu Zhan immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the ministers below all held their breath and fell to their knees like cicadas.
"Don't dare...... What would you not dare? Chu Pei's tone was cold, he glanced at the people under the stairs, and said angrily, "Scatter the dynasty!" ”
Chu Lin went out of the palace gate, returned to the Yanwang Mansion, and according to Du Ying's description, he personally drew the portrait of Ma Rong with a pen, and asked Zhao Ji'an to send it to the Beijing patrol camp to copy and post it.
Ma Rong has been missing for a day and a night, although Chu Lin had sent a message to Shen Zhanghua last night, asking all county officials in Ningzhou to pay attention to this person, but there has been no response at all so far, it can be seen that he was either killed by someone, or he is still hiding in a corner around Baiyun Villa.
Two days was too short, Chu Lin sat alone in the study, habitually took out the purse embroidered by Du Mei and rubbed it in his hand. He thought carefully in his heart, Ma Rong is a foreigner, he has no relatives here, and what he cares about the most is Du Zao, he poisoned the saltwater duck this time, I am afraid it is also related to Du Zao, Du Mei was only willing to keep him for half a year, and now that the time is coming, someone must have promised him something, so he dared to act so risky.
Thinking of this, Chu Lin immediately raised his voice and said to the people outside the door: "Ji'an, you quickly take people to Baiyun Villa and bring Du Zao to the mansion, the bigger the movement, the better!" ”
As long as Ma Rong is not dead, he will go to Jiangling City to find Du Zao, as long as he dares to step into Jiangling City, it will be to catch turtles in the urn.
Chu Lin arranged some other things one after another, and in the afternoon he hurriedly went to the Humble Garden to find Murong Xi, human nature always seeks self-protection first, if Ma Rong wants to understand that Du Zao has become a bait at this moment, he is afraid that he will turn around and run away, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this net must be spread a little bigger.
He drew another portrait of Ma Rong from memory, the tantric intelligence net is denser than the fishing net, covering the entire territory of Dashun, as long as the tracked person shows his whereabouts, it is easy to find.
"There was a tobacco and drug case, I have been paying attention to Chu Zhan, and I haven't found anything abnormal, but it turns out that there is a Ma Rong caught in it, it seems that this time, he has planned step by step. There are only two days to go, so I'm afraid it's too late. Murong Xi wrinkled his eyebrows.
"You just have to check, I'm a prince anyway, it's okay to delay for a day or two." Chu Lin waved his hand.
"How's Du Mei doing?" Murong Xi handed over the portrait to Yan Mo and sat down to drink tea with Chu Lin.
"It's the same as before, once I saw her eyes rolling under her noses, and I thought she was going to wake up." Chu Lin smiled bitterly.
"It's a little more angry than before, she's so brave and strong, I believe she'll wake up." Murong Xi changed his cynical expression and said seriously.
"Well, no matter what, I'll always be there for her." Chu Lin drank a cup of tea and got up to say goodbye.
Riding a horse on the bustling street, his heart was melancholy, at this moment, he wanted to see Du Mei very much, not far away is the east gate, he didn't want to think about it, the heel of the boot clamped the horse's belly, Mo Yun ran up, it had already passed through human nature, out of the city and went straight to Dujiagou.
It was just winter, and the brazier had already burned in Du Mei's room, and she was covered with a thick quilt, but her hands and feet were still cold.
Chu Lin took off his robe, the two of them sat cross-legged, he used his luck to ward off the cold for her, and two hours later, Du Mei's face was a little warm and red.
"Mer, I'll tell you something." Chu Lin hugged Du Mei to sleep, tucked the quilt corner for her, and said with some hesitation.
For a long time, whether it is the reconstruction of Mei Ji or the revitalization of takeaways, what Chu Lin and Du Mei said is good news without exception, but now that someone has smoked in the brine and eaten people to death, this matter has been related to the life and death of Mei Ji, and he feels that she needs to know.
“…… I will try my best to mediate this matter, but if I can't catch Ma Rong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clear the charge, you are so smart, you must be able to think of a good way, wake up quickly, Mei Ji needs you, I also need you......" Chu Lin intermittently said the matter as it was, he knelt on the side of the bed, and leaned his face against Du Mei's face.
He suddenly felt tired and lonely, as if he was walking alone in the endless dark night, and the little ethereal light in the distance was always out of reach, and after tens of thousands of miles, he still couldn't reach the end.
The charcoal in the brazier crackled, the room lit up for a moment, and it was dark again in an instant, and Chu Lin, who was buried next to Du Mei's pillow, didn't see her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyelashes couldn't stop trembling.
The room was too warm, Chu Lin sat on his footrest tiredly and fell asleep, his hands were interlocked with Du Mei's soft fingers, and there was a faint and warm smile on his face, maybe he was having a sweet dream about Du Mei.
Time will not stop for anyone, outside the window, the sky is broken, a trace of sky light is like a drop of water slowly melting the dark night, the rooster in the courtyard began to crow, Chu Lin woke up, he rubbed his sore shoulders, added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier that was about to be extinguished, reached out and touched Du Mei's mattress, probably with his temperature, she did not sleep cold.
"It's cold in winter, eat something hot and then go." When Chu Lin opened the door and came out, Xu Shi stood in the kitchen and said.
"Thank you, aunt!" Chu Lin bowed into the kitchen.
A bowl of hot noodles, two snow-white poached eggs, and two or three side dishes, just ordinary people's breakfast, Chu Lin was full of emotion and guilt.
He didn't tell Xu about Du Ying, he firmly believed that he would be able to save her.
Miao Shi hugged Du Zao and lived in Yanwang Mansion, she was not yet one year old, she was not very good at talking, Ma Rong suddenly disappeared, she cried all day, at this time she entered such a big mansion, everywhere was very fresh, she forgot her sadness for a while, and stared around with big eyes.
In the past two days, almost all the soldiers of the Beijing patrol battalion came out to patrol the streets, although Xiao Li couldn't believe that it was Ma Rong who killed Mei Ji, but he still mobilized the little beggars to run all over the corners of Jiangling City, and the tantric intelligence network seemed to be out of order, and there was no news at all.
"Master, the Criminal Department of Ming'er is coming to arrest people, what can I do?" Zhao Ji'an was in a hurry.
"Yuan Hong? I think he has the guts to come to my house and arrest people! Chu Lin's voice was cold, and the listener was cold.
"Could it be that Ma Rong has already been killed? If this is the case, this matter will become a headless case, and Du Ying will not escape! Zhao Ji'an rubbed his hands and said.
"If he is solved, there won't be so many eyeliners outside King Yan's mansion, and now it's not just us who are looking for Ma Rong, I'm afraid Chu Zhan is more eager to kill him than we are, you let Zhao Di lead people to keep an eye on that side, if there is any wind and grass, leave a living mouth at all costs." Chu Lin calmly analyzed.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, as long as Ma Rong is alive, who will kill the deer, maybe it will be.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Lin took Zhao Ji'an to the court, and Yuan Hong suddenly led someone to break into the door, shouting for Ruyi to hand over Du Ying.
"Lord Yuan, don't say that your second son and my prince are sworn brothers, even if the enemy comes to the door, there is no reason to embarrass our subordinates." Ruyi stopped at the door, deeply blessed, and then said sharply, "Besides, this is the Yanwang Mansion of the Nine Princes of the Dynasty, how can it be a place where you can break into it if you want to, if you dare to take a step closer, don't blame me for not being merciful!" ”
Ruyi waved his hand, and the well-trained guards rushed out, holding bows and arrows aimed at Yuan Hong's group, and the soldiers of the criminal department immediately unsheathed their swords and put on an attacking posture.
"Ruyi girl, the holy will is like this, I can't do it." Seeing this, Yuan Hong said with a bitter face.
"I grew up beside the Queen Mother of Taihe Palace since I was a child, the national law is difficult to violate, but the family rules cannot be abolished, the prince is not at home, I am the housekeeper, let you take the guests away, what's going on!" Ruyi's eyebrows were raised.
Okay, you Yuan Hong, but a little waiter, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, daring to use the emperor to suppress people, I have my own queen mother as a backer, Ruyi scolded in my heart.
"Ruyi girl, I kindly advise, you are bent on going your own way, then don't blame me for being unkind!" Yuan Hong didn't know the meaning of Ruyi's words, he was a seven-foot man who was deflated in front of a little girl, and he was really unhappy.
"If you want to break into the Yanwang Mansion, if you have the ability, step on my corpse!" Ruyi crossed his hands on his hips and glared angrily.
