Chapter 123: Visiting King Rui
"Dead?" Qian Fan immediately got up in surprise, thought carefully for a while before looking at Nalan Minhao and said, "Let's go, follow me to see what's going on." ”
Wu Zheng took the two to the guest room where Gonggong Yin lived, and found that the person had been strangled to death on the bed and unconscious, Wu Zheng saw Qianfan carefully looking at the guest room, and said: "When Xiao Li sent him back last night, he was already drunk and unconscious, but just now the soldiers who were guarding outside heard movement in the house, and when they came in, they found that the person was dead. ”
"Did you ask the first person to find him dead?" Nalan Minhao saw that Qian Fan approached the corpse to check it indifferently, then turned his head to Wu Zheng and said, "Did you ask anything useful?" ”
"The little soldier was a new soldier, and he couldn't bear the sleepiness in the middle of the night and took a nap, but by the time he heard the movement, he was already dead, and no one was found in the room." Wu Zheng naturally knew Nalan Minhao's identity, so he also replied respectfully: "Because of this, I am very nervous, and I am afraid that the general will punish him." ”
"If you want not to be punished, tell him that this matter is silent, as long as one more person knows, then it will be dealt with directly by military law." After seeing Gonggong Yin's corpse, Qian Fan arranged: "You go down first to arrange that little soldier and keep your mouth shut for me." ”
"Did you find anything?" After watching Wu Zheng leave, Nalan Minhao couldn't help asking: "I'm not afraid of a corpse in the middle of the night, how can you let me protect you?" ”
"Just go back and hear about it." Qian Fan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Come and see." ”
Nalan Minhao stepped forward, saw the place Qian Fan pointed and couldn't help frowning and said, "How can there be a bamboo leaf?" ”
"There are only two places within a radius of 100 miles where bamboo is planted, one is the backyard of the government where we are currently living temporarily, and the other is the Yunfu Temple where King Rui is a monk." Qian Fan looked at a bamboo leaf falling in front of the bed and said, "Then there are two possibilities, one is that I have a traitor here, and the second is that King Rui found someone to do it." ”
"But this matter is too coincidental, you and I just suspected King Rui, and such a bamboo leaf appeared?" Nalan Minhao shook his head and said, "It seems that someone is trying to borrow our hand to deal with King Rui, right?" ”
"It's also possible to force a rebellion." Qian Fan looked at the bamboo leaf and said lightly: "The father-in-law who came to give me the edict has not returned for a long time, and he died here, am I going to rebel or my father is going to rebel?" Or did we collude with the King of Rui to rebel? ”
"The Yun family also found out the spy some time ago, and that spy is still the deputy general cultivated by General Yun, if it wasn't inadvertently tempted out, I'm afraid that he still doesn't know that it is the person who is King Rui." Nalan Minhao remembered Fang Cai's words, so he said again: "That spy is the person who was installed in the Yun family by King Rui, who stole the secret to King Rui, and King Rui will trade with Qing Chiguo again. ”
"Selling secrets to make money?" Qian Fan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This King Rui really thought of it, if the Huangyuan Kingdom is gone, can he still live well?" Could it be that the Qingchi Congress will leave a prince who may return to the country at any time? ”
"So the Yun family also carried out a big purge, but it tried to find out a few, as for whether there are any deeper hidden ones, then I don't know," Nalan Minhao looked at Qian Fan, then looked at Yin Gonggong's corpse and asked, "What are you going to do with this Yin Gonggong?" ”
"You have so many talented people under your command, can't you make a human skin mask?" Qian Fan clapped his hands and said: "When the time comes, I will show up in the capital, and then I will drink a flower wine and fall into the river, everything will have nothing to do with me." ”
"You're getting tricky right now." Nalan Minhao shook his head with a smile, and then said, "But now our mysteries seem to be getting more and more, and we have no clue, right?" ”
"Well, what then?" Qian Fan pursed his lips, looked at Nalan Minhao and said, "Do you have any good solutions?" ”
"Yes, but do I have any rewards?" Nalan Minhao asked with a smile.
"Enough of you two, okay?" At this time, Lin Qing walked in from the door and said helplessly: "Talking about love for this corpse, you two can still laugh." ”
"Why are you here?" Qian Fan asked in surprise, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night without sleeping?" ”
"I just passed by your study and saw that you weren't there, so I came here." Lin Qing suddenly said as if he remembered something: "I've been so busy that I'm about to go crazy this time, so I just remembered that when you came here to support the general, we met a group of merchants, and those merchants wanted us to escort them for a ride, and my aunt and I didn't agree to have anything to do with them, but Chen Xiaofeng himself brought a team of people to escort people out of the customs." ”
"Do you think there's something wrong with that group of merchants?" Qian Fan frowned and looked at Lin Qing, and then said, "Do you remember what those people looked like?" ”
"I only remember one of them, because the man was so strange, and it wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold, was it? But the man was wrapped in a black robe, and the old man who led the team said that the person had a skin disease and couldn't see the sun, but I saw that the person's eyes were fierce," Lin Qing thought carefully with a bitter face before saying: "It may be my feelings, I always feel familiar with that person, and his eyes when he looks at his aunt are obviously murderous, I don't know why, maybe I think too much." ”
"If you're feeling wrong, then let alone someone else." Nalan Minhao suddenly opened her mouth, after all, Lin Qing has always felt different from ordinary people, so Nalan Minhao trusted her instincts very much.
"Min Hao is right, it seems that we have missed something important." Qian Fan subconsciously walked a few steps, and then asked Nalan Minhao: "Who in this world do you say that the Yue family and the Seventh Prince have an accident at the same time?" ”
"You mean the Queen?" Nalan Minhao frowned and said, "The queen is just a woman, how can she deal with you at the same time?" ”
"Forget it, Gonggong Yin's affairs are arranged by you, and I have decided to meet King Rui for a while tomorrow." Qian Fan suddenly made up his mind and said.
"It's not clear whether King Rui is an enemy or a friend, so it's really unwise to go rashly." Nalan Minhao clapped his hands, and the two men in black appeared to remove the corpse, and said, "Do what the princess said just now." ”
"Yes!" The two men in black immediately retreated with the corpses.
"The princess!" Lin Qing smiled and quipped: "Princess Shizi, let's go and meet that King Rui together tomorrow!" ”
"I don't want to go with you." Qian Fan looked at Lin Qing and said with a disgusted expression: "I'll take Feng Ye tomorrow, can it be that King Cheng Rui can still be unfavorable to me?" Besides, there's no evidence that Ruiwang is behind it, is there? ”
"Then I'll hide in the shadows, you must be careful." Nalan Minhao looked at Qianfan and said.
"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, I came to see you two sweet, I really can't live by myself." Lin Qing raised his forehead and pretended to sigh sadly: "I'd better go back and rest quickly, otherwise I won't have time to deal with those girls tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, Qianfan took Fengye to Yunfu Temple, Yunfu Temple is a temple with very strong incense in Xiguan, although Qianfan and the two went early, but they were still shocked by the crowded scene in front of them.
"Kaede Night, are you sure the two of us are not in the wrong place?" Qian Fan looked at the people who came in and out of the temple and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is it that is very spiritual here?" ”
"Ask." Feng Ye walked a few steps, grabbed an old man, said with a smile, and gave the old man a few taels of silver, before coming back and saying to Qianfan: "During this time, the war in Xiguan has continued, and I don't know where the news came from. ”
"All these people are here to ask for signatures?" When Qian Fan heard Feng Ye's words, his eyes flashed, and then he asked, "Are most of them asking for silver taels or grain?" ”
"What the girl said is exact, but most of what ordinary people ask for is food." Feng Ye nodded and said: "After all, in such a world, there may not be enough silver taels to buy food, so many people come to ask for food every day, and it is said that it is because a monk named Yun Zhen knelt in front of the Bodhisattva for five days and five nights to move the heavens, and the people will ask for what they get, so the people are really respectful of this cloud." ”
"See, people used such a small means to wipe out the victory we worked so hard to win." Qian Fan snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to think about it, you know that Yun Zhen must be the Rui King who has become a monk." ”
"Girl, shall we go again?" Feng Ye looked at Qian Fan and asked, "I heard that the old man just now said that Yun Zhen is weak and has not seen any guests recently. ”
"He said he wouldn't see the guest, so let's ask for a sign." Qian Fan smiled and walked towards the temple, and Kaede Ye hurriedly followed behind her, looking around with a little vigilance.
Qianfan walked to the main hall, looked at the enshrined Bodhisattva, but sincerely kowtowed, in her previous life she did not believe in ghosts and gods, but after so many things of rebirth, she gradually began to understand that there are no absolutes in the world, and it is natural to enter the temple to worship the Buddha.
Picked up the stick holder and shook it twice, and soon a stick fell out, Qianfan picked up the stick and looked at it, only the word zero was written on it, then got up and walked to the place where the sign was unsigned, and handed the sign to the old monk sitting there.
"What is the girl asking for?" The old monk saw that Qianfan was dressed luxuriously, took the sign with a smile and asked, without waiting for Qianfan to speak, the old monk who bowed his head and read the sign immediately got up and said: "Girl, I'm afraid that the old man can't solve this sign, and ask the girl to meet the abbot with the old man." ”
"Girl, beware of deception!" Kaede Ye immediately stepped forward and whispered.
"It's okay, don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger?" Qian Fan smiled slightly, and said to the old monk, "Then disturb." ”
Qian Fan and Feng Ye followed the old monk to the backyard, the more remote they went, the more remote they became, Feng Ye's eyes slowly became sharper, presumably if the old monk made any changes, he would immediately kill him.
However, the three of them turned the corner and saw a bamboo forest, there was a pavilion in the bamboo forest, and a person in the pavilion was playing chess, and Qian Fan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person.
When the man heard the movement, he turned his head and saw Qianfan who was stunned, looked at her carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Fan'er, long time no see." ”
