Chapter 199: Blurry

Although Dong Mingguang is dead, because the emperor does not allow the news to leak, he still has to "live".

Lin Mubai has also told a lot of lies in his life, but this time in the face of a crying and earnest woman's family, he was also a little difficult to deal with. He stubbornly wrestled with Mrs. Dong for a while, explaining and comforting, but he was also a little busy for a while, and he didn't pay attention to whether anyone was eavesdropping. It was easy to persuade Mrs. Dong to turn back, and Lin Mubai sent a few more subordinates to escort her back to Dong's mansion, but secretly told them to check the objects left by Dong Mingguang, and there might be clues.

After that, Lin Mubai asked about his youngest son again, and the next person said that he had gone out for a stroll with his master and apprentice. I think that Mr. Gu has never been to the capital, so he wants to go out for a walk to see something new. Lin Mubai didn't care about these little things, and then rushed to the prison.

This time, he carefully inspected the cell where Dong Mingguang had stayed, and except for the iron door, he did not find any place to enter and exit. And the lock hanging on the outside of the door did not show any signs of picking, it should have been opened by someone with a key. So Lin Mubai asked the guards and officials in charge of the guards again, but he couldn't ask anything. Although he was reluctant to take on the case, this situation was really frustrating.

When he returned discouraged, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the Dong family had been stolen.

"When did this happen?" Lin Mubai was very surprised.

"The subordinates don't know, and even the Dong family doesn't know it."

"What are you missing?"

"All the correspondence between Dong Da and his life was lost. Other than that, the rest of the items are in good condition. ”

Lin Mubai suddenly felt a chill down his spine. It seems that all his actions are under someone's control, and every time he makes a move, someone will be preempted. Even the emperor is no exception, bringing Dong Mingguang into the palace so secretly, it can actually make people silently extinguish.

This person, could it be the Royal Highness of the Third Prince that he was thinking about at this time?

Lin Mubai shook his hand and said to the man: "You go first, this matter will be discussed in the ministry tomorrow." ”

After the man left, Lin Mubai pondered these things alone in the room. He thought that since the death of the fourth prince, the third prince had also begun to change a little. In the past, everything had to be combined with his Lin family's father and son, but now he is much more estranged, and even has some deliberate avoidance. Such inconsistent behavior cannot be imagined. Thinking that the emperor was pressing on this matter step by step, and the Lin family was sandwiched between the father and son, Lin Mubai felt irritable again.

Seeing that the sky was fine outside, he simply pushed the door and went out, planning to go to the back mountain to relax. When the cool breeze blew outside, the depression in my heart dissipated a lot. Before he reached the back mountain, he saw the green smoke curling outside the small pavilion from a distance, and he was surprised in his heart. I was about to step forward to take a look, but I was stopped by the wind that came out of nowhere.

"Daddy," said Guanfeng with a grin, "I was about to look for you." ”

Lin Mubai frowned and said, "Didn't you take your master out for a walk?" Why did you come back so soon? Then he sniffed it again and said, "What does this smell like on you?" Smoky. ”

Guan Feng hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Oh, just a few steps out of the door, the master suddenly remembered that today was his mother's death day, and turned back. No, I'm burning paper. After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, only to see Gu Songyun guarding a small fire outside the pavilion, throwing a pile of paper into the fire.

Lin Mubai looked at the past suspiciously, and always felt weird, something was not quite right. He squinted his eyes again, and saw that the paper in Gu Songyun's hand was square, and it was densely packed with handwriting, where is this paper money, it is clearly a letterhead! Thinking of the theft of the Dong family's letters, Lin Mubai suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning, suddenly woke up, and strode forward.

Gu Songyun saw that he was about to come, so he hurriedly threw the last pile of paper left in his hand into the fire, picked at the soil on the ground and howled twice: "Mother-you died unjustly!" He is also very willing to shed some tears to cooperate, but he grew up with his master when he was a child, and he has never had a father and mother, so naturally he can't squeeze out a single tear.

Guanfeng naturally didn't dare to stop his father, so he had to follow behind. Seeing that the master was pretending to be a ghost there, he also felt that his face was gloomy, so he said, "Okay, don't act, I'll say I can't hide it from my father." Let's be honest. ”

How did Guan Feng and Gu Songyun justify themselves and press the table, just talk about a play that is being staged in Cining Palace.

At this time, there were only two people in the palace, the queen mother and the three princes, grandchildren, and the rest were sent out.

The Queen Mother is old, and she is very afraid of the cold, so every winter, the charcoal fire in this Cining Palace always burns extraordinarily strongly. People who are young and vigorous feel warm and suitable when they first come in, but after staying for a while, they feel hot and impetuous.

Sheng Xuanyuan's heart was on fire, the green tendons on his forehead were distinct, and his eyes were full of impatience, but his voice was extremely restrained: "Imperial grandmother, you must have watched too many excerpts." The grandson sat upright, not afraid of someone coming to check. ”

The Queen Mother looked at him lovingly and said, "The mourning family knows that you still have scruples in your heart. But don't worry, as long as the mourning family is here, your father won't be able to touch you. ”

"Grandmother!" Sheng Xuanyuan stood up, and finally couldn't help but say angrily: "How many times do you want me to say it to understand?!" I have nothing to do with Sheng Xuanming's death! ”

The Queen Mother sat upright on the chair, as steady as Mount Tai, quietly looked at the angry Sheng Xuanyuan, and said, "Yuan'er, the mourning family is your own grandmother, how can it harm you?" Why don't you tell me honestly? If you continue to do it single-handedly, you will not only harm yourself, but also ruin the century-old foundation of my Daxi Dynasty! She paused, stroked her sideburns with her withered branch-like hand, and said lightly: "Even the scourge of Dong Mingguang, the mourning family has cleaned it up for you." Why can't you trust me? Huh? ”

"What......" Sheng Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment. He glared at the Queen Mother in disbelief and muttered, "You...... You killed Dong Mingguang? After being sure that he had heard correctly, he wiped the sweat on his forehead that he didn't know whether it was hot or shocked, and said angrily, hatefully and helplessly: "Sun Er has made it very clear that I really didn't murder my brother." By doing so, you are not only doing us a disservice, but you are also killing innocents. ”

The queen pulled her skin lightly, and said with a light smile: "Really? Then why did you go to the trouble of getting the mourning family to come forward to stop the autopsy? ”
