Xiang Ling asked the ins and outs of the matter, knew what to do next, and remembered what happened to Bai Yang, he couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that Bai Yang was the substitute ghost of King Xian, and he thought that King Xian was very good, but he didn't expect that the world was impermanent, and Bai Yang was gone.

Wei Ziyu and the others walked out of the dungeon, and Xiang Ling followed. When he saw Zhongli Boqian, he thought of King Xian: "Your Highness the Seventh, you are not suitable to stay with us. ”

"Collar senior." Zhongli Boqian was confused, and it took a moment to react before he understood. It turned out that he took his anger on Bai Yang's death, Zhongli Boqian lowered his head and no longer refutated.

"Old man, now is not the time for you to be rash, His Royal Highness the Seventh is different from those people." Wei Ziyu deliberately bit the three words of those people.

"Subordinates know their mistakes." Xiang Ling listened to Wei Ziyu's words, moved his gaze to Zhongli Boqian, and apologized to him.

Let Chen Lu find out that there are corpses in the side courtyard, and it is inconvenient for them to come forward in person, so they have to use some means if necessary. Wei Ziyu found Xiang Ling and instructed: "Send a clever fool to infiltrate Chen's mansion and find a way to let Chen Lu find a dry well in the side courtyard." ”

"Yes." Xiang Ling was ordered to leave.

Wei Ziyu noticed Zhongli Boqian's loss and frowned: "Don't take everything from you, you didn't do good things, you admit all bad things, you just defend your brother like this?" Could he ...... More important than anyone else? ”

"Ziyu, I ......," Zhongli Boqian wanted to speak and stopped.

"Okay, don't answer me." Wei Ziyu raised her feet and left, she didn't want to care about the affairs between their brothers.

Zhongli Boqian opened his mouth and looked at Wei Ziyu's back, lost his soul. Black Moon glanced at him, and then raised his heel to his young master.

Sima Wanqin walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Highness the Seventh, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, you have to learn to make trade-offs." ”

"But brother and Ziyu ......"

"Your Highness the Seventh, if there is no conflict between Miss Ziyu and King Xian, you naturally don't have to think about it." Sima Wanqin comforted him: "Okay, don't think so much, Miss Ziyu doesn't blame you, you are you, King Xian is King Xian, don't you see that she has accepted you now?" ”

"That's right." Zhongli Boqian muttered to himself, and was dragged back to the room by Sima Wanqinsheng.

Can Chen Lu re-investigate Bai Yang's case, and wait a few days to have an eyebrow, they just need to wait quietly for the results.

……

Xiang Ling's speed was very fast, and on the second day, he arranged for the foolish to sneak into the Chen Mansion, spent some silver, and found a miscellaneous errand for the foolish in the Chen Mansion.

Not long after the fool went, he mingled with the subordinates of the Chen Mansion and found out the location of the side courtyard, which was indeed rarely visited, but if there was any movement there, it would definitely attract people's attention.

In the evening, the fool called a group of people to eat and drink together, and all of them were drunk and unconscious, and the bewildered group of people wandered around the house at the suggestion of the fool.

The delusional man pretended to be drunk and coaxed them to the side courtyard.

In the study of Chen's mansion, Chen Lu sat by the bookcase, lighting a lonely lamp, worrying about the salt and iron case. He didn't come to Weiyang City for long, and he was busy filling in the gaps in the salt and iron case day and night, and he was not in the house day and day. Even this Chen Mansion, he hasn't finished shopping, except for the few people who were gifted to him by the emperor, the others have been recruited, and he hasn't had time to settle it properly. As for the original maids and servants of the Li Mansion, Chen Lu also wanted to know where they went, I heard that they were dismissed by Zhao Zhutou on the second day of Li Tang's life and death, but where is Zhao Zhutou now?

Chen Lu helped his forehead, and the voice of his entourage came from outside the door.

"My lord, those people gathered together to drink, and they were drunk, and they were wandering up and down the whole house at this time, saying what they were looking for...... Lee-sama's ghost. ”

"Ridiculous, why don't they come to the official's study to find the ghost of Master Li if they want to find it?" Chen Lu shook his sleeves angrily: "Let's go, take a look." ”

"Yes."

Chen Lu was led by his entourage to the place where the people were making trouble, it was a side courtyard, which looked abandoned for a long time, and there was a foul smell from inside, which caused those drunk subordinates to vomit one after another.

Chen Lu sighed, ordered someone to bring a torch, and he took someone in to investigate.

When I opened the door of the side courtyard, the stench was even stronger. Chen Lu took his entourage to look around, searched the entire courtyard, and found nothing suspicious.

But the stench in the courtyard persisted for a long time, and Chen Lu searched carefully again, but there was still no result.

The unrelenting Chen Lu asked his entourage to summon the servants, and the strength of the people was great, maybe they could find something different.

"My lord, no."

"My lord, there is no one here."

"My lord, I don't have one here."

Chen Lu sighed, this situation is impossible, this courtyard is so stinky, it is impossible that there is no abnormality.

"My lord, my subordinates found a dry well over there, and the closer you get to it, the stronger the smell becomes."

"Let's go, let's see." Chen Lu led people and approached the dry well with torches.

If the smell really came from underneath, Chen Lu took a torch and shone it down, the well was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, so Chen Lu had to let a few bold servants go down to the well.

Soon after, several rough cries were heard from the bottom of the well.

"Ah~"

"What's wrong?" Chen Lu shouted to the bottom of the well, and the timid official behind him had already begun to tremble in his legs.

"There are a lot of corpses down there, I stepped on them, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Corpses?" Chen Lu was a little puzzled, how could there be so many corpses in a good side courtyard: "Get it." ”

Chen Lu and the officials tossed for a night, the sun rose in the sky, the sun shone on the earth, Chen Lu was already sweating profusely, and those officials were panting and falling to the ground tired.

The drunken subordinates stayed outside the hospital, and they were also much more sober at this time.

Regardless of his tiredness, Chen Lu stepped forward to check on a blackened corpse. They were all muscular men, each of them with rags in their mouths and their hands tied behind their backs.

Their bodies were black and rotten, and pus was faintly visible in the corners of their eyes. Looking at this, Chen Lu guessed that there were two causes of their deaths, either they were slowly starved to death, or they stayed at the bottom of the well for a long time and suffocated to death.

As for the result, we have to check it carefully to find out.

Chen Lu was puzzled, they were dressed uniformly, and the style of this costume was still somewhat familiar, where had they seen it. Chen Lu knocked on his head, forcing himself to think quickly.

"That's right." Chen Lu finally remembered that they were all wearing the clothes of the palace guards.

How could the palace guards die here?

Chen Lu fell into anxiety for a moment, how could the guards in the palace come all the way to Weiyang City and die in this dry well. They came and looked at the cause of their deaths under the watchful eyes of the people.

"Does anyone know what happened in this house?" After thinking about it, Chen Lu, who had no clues, opened his mouth to ask.

The entourage beside him looked at the clothes of these people, and their pupils shrank: "My lord, the dress of these people is the dress of the palace guards?" ”

"yes!"

"This mansion used to be the mansion of the former prefect Lord Li, how could these people die in Lord Li's mansion." The entourage paused: "The palace guards are under the command of Shangguan, and they are also under the jurisdiction of King Xian. ”

"So......" Chen Lu had heard some news from the king of Naxian, and the emperor asked him to come to Weiyang, as long as he took care of the salt and iron affairs, and there was no need to think about other things.

Chen Lu struggled for a long time, and understood Li Tangsheng's case clearly from the mouth of his entourage, and at the same time, he also got the autopsy results.

"Lord Chen, these people are all starving to death, slowly starving to death."

"Got it." Chen Lu nodded, Li Tangsheng's case also involved the matter of salt and iron, if he took over the matter, he should not be blamed by the emperor.

These guards came to Weiyang City with the mission of protecting King Xian, but in the end, they became King Xian and were escorted back, and these guards also died tragically in this dry well. This matter must be related to Li Tangsheng, and Bai Yang's case had to be reopened. King Xian also came here to investigate the salt and iron case, but that happened to him.

There was a huge shortage of salt and iron in Weiyang, which was the fundamental reason why he was so busy when he came to Weiyang City that he couldn't touch the ground.

Chen Lu ordered someone to protect this place, quickly returned to the study, picked up a pen and wrote and painted on the fold, and marked the cause and suspiciousness of this incident in detail.

After Chen Lu finished writing the recital, he sent someone to leave the city quickly.

When the fool saw that the matter was almost done, he excused himself that such a thing had happened in this house, and that he could not stay any longer, so he fled, and encouraged some people to flee with him, if he did not have it, he would have been suspected.

The entourage reported the matter to Chen Lu, and Chen Lu waved his hand, and these useless subordinates fled as soon as they escaped. Wait until he's done with these things and settle down to find a good housekeeper.

Drunk in this life.

Wei Ziyu on the swing received the news and asked the fool to immediately return to where he had been.

"Ziyu." Zhongli Boqian walked out of the house and caught a glimpse of a figure hurrying by: "Is there any good news?" ”

"Thanks to the guards brought by King Xian, they are guards, otherwise how can we confirm their identities?" Wei Ziyu looked Zhongli Boqian up and down: "If it is the secret guard of the Seventh Highness......

Wei Ziyu shook his head, if it was Zhongli Boqian's secret guard, then the identity really couldn't be confirmed.

"What's wrong?" Zhongli Boqian walked behind Wei Ziyu: "My brother came to Weiyang City with the guards in the palace. ”

"Their bodies were found by Chen Lu." Wei Ziyu raised his head and said regretfully: "They have just become victims of the struggle for the throne, so many young lives. ”

"Alas~" Zhongli Boqian sighed, what else could he refute?

Wei Ziyu saw him hanging his head on a whim.

"Your Highness the Seventh, push me."

"Huh?"

"Push the swing!" Stupid, Wei Ziyu secretly slandered himself, is it possible to let him push himself down?

"Okay." Zhongli Boqian pushed the rope, and the cold wind blew her cheeks, which made her sober a lot, but she still liked the feeling of swinging, only on the swing was she relaxed, and all the pressure on her body would be thrown away.

The laughter of Wei Ziyu and Zhongli Boqian came from the courtyard, and Xiang Ling couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw the two people playing on the swing not far away.

It won't be long before they leave Weiyang and return to the city.

Leaving the city, Zhong Libojun, who had not seen Zhong Li Boqian for a long time, felt guilty day by day, and felt guilty that he said those words on Chinese New Year's Eve and left Qian'er. Now I don't know where he went, whether he was in danger, whether he was doing well.

Zhongli Bojun often went to the market, went to Xiangyi Building, and went to Mingyue Building, but he didn't meet Wei Ziyu by chance.

If she wanted to hide from him, how would he find her?

Wei Ziyu didn't meet it, but she met Li Xishuang several times, every time she looked like she was winning, and every time she was in front of herself, she swore that she would become his princess one day in the future.

Zhongli Bojun was so annoyed by her that she thought that there might be some clues to find Wei Kexin, but she didn't want to say anything, and even refused to talk to him about Wei Ziyu. He tried many times, but failed.

Wei Kexin hated him very much, and he hated it so much that he wouldn't say a superfluous word. Usually stay in Hongyunxuan, and occasionally go back to the Captain's Mansion.

On the left prime minister's house, Li Xishuang in the courtyard finished embroidering the last phoenix on the wedding dress. When he put down the needle and thread, his heart was filled with his feelings for Zhongli Bojun. She stroked the phoenix on her wedding dress with satisfaction, smiling like a flower.

The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the phoenix crown is covered with xia.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital, Li Xishuang stood up, and her father had already walked in front of her. Li Zi glanced at the red wedding dress beside Li Xishuang, and then turned his eyes to look at Li Xishuang with a happy face.

avoided all the subordinates in the courtyard and sat down in front of Li Xishuang.

"The woman is not in the middle."

"Didn't my father ask Shuang'er to embroider the wedding dress by herself?"

"Does Shuang'er remember that Chenlu?" Li Zi is too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Remember, that champion of liberal arts with martial arts." Li Xishuang thought of Chen Lu and felt that he was very interesting, he studied both civil and military, and he could also get the top prize in liberal arts, which was much stronger than those scholars who were weak in literature, if he was cultivated, he would definitely be the pillar of the country in the future.

It was he who broke the concept of a weak scholar, and the emperor inevitably did not appreciate him. Not long ago, he was sent to Weiyang to take office, and he was directly promoted to become the prefect of Weiyang, and he has a bright future. When Li Zi mentioned Chen Lu, his eyes were full of unconcealable appreciation.

"What does Father want to say?" Seeing him like this, Li Xishuang muttered in her heart.

"He lived up to expectations and has found out the clues of the Baiyang case." Li Zi took out a book of recitals from his sleeve: "Because my father knew that he would do something, he sent someone to pay attention to him, and today I intercepted this book." ”

"Did you find anything wrong?" Li Xishuang's eyes widened, she was really too inferior to her father. When she first learned about this Chen Lu, she never thought of using him, but just listened to his deeds and wanted to have fun.

"He sent someone all the way to bring a book from Weiyang City, the above mentioned thing is the case of Baiyang, it is written that the guards brought by King Xian are the guards in the palace, but they died tragically in Li Tangsheng's mansion, what did Shuang'er find?" Li Zi saw Li Xishuang's expression in his eyes and did not let go of any reaction on her face.

He is teaching Li Xishuang how to plan, and only if Li Xishuang is strong enough can she keep the Li family prosperous. He is getting older and older, and if he is not there one day, Li Xishuang will not be at a loss.
