Chapter 37: The Truth

In the study of the county government, Lin Xuao was wearing a moon-white robe, his slightly sickly face was gloomy, and there was a copy of the paper on the table in front of him, and the plaintiff and the defendant were people he was familiar with.

Liu Yanping on the side looked at his nose and nose, and finally couldn't help but secretly look at Mu Wangye in front of him, who he couldn't figure out at all.

When he heard that the prince had changed his name and went to Yuxian County to make a nominal county order, he was almost choked to death by a piece of glutinous rice, but thanks to Jiang Jie's quick eyes, he slapped it out.

Does the prince want to continue to investigate that incident? Or is there something else going on?

"Have you seen enough?" Suddenly, Lin Xu Ao rebuked unhappily.

“…… Ahem, Lord Qiqi, Miss Liu will go to Yuxian County tomorrow, where do you see a banquet for her? ”

After waiting for a long time and not seeing the prince answer, Liu Yanping secretly straightened his waist, and was just about to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, only to hear a cold voice from above his head, "You bring Jiang Jue, I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes!" Liu Yanping hurriedly retreated, closed the door and remembered that the prince hadn't told him where to hold the banquet, and he wanted to go back and ask clearly, but he didn't have the guts, so he had to go to the front of the martial arts hall to find Jiang Du.

"Lord Wang!" Jiang Jue came in quietly and stood at the door with his hands down.

"Is there any progress?"

Jiang Jue shook his head with a dark face and embarrassment, "All the signs have been wiped out, those are dead soldiers, and no evidence will be left." ”

"Did we ever go to Liujia Village the summer before last?"

Jiang Jue raised his head in surprise, "Lord Wang, my subordinates did find you in the back mountain of Liujia Village. ”

"Only Liu Xiaoyue was by my side at that time?" Lin Xu Ao frowned slightly, he didn't know how many times he asked these words, but he always felt that something had fallen, making him confused.

“…… Yes, Miss Liu said that she was always by your side. ”

"So how did I get poisoned?"

“…… This one...... The subordinates have not yet found out the truth. ”

For a while, the silent needle drop in the study could be heard, Jiang Jue stood there stiffly, like an old monk in his meditation, and Lin Xuao's thoughts drifted back to two years ago.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Shunde, the old emperor secretly ordered Mu Qingao, the king of Jing who was far away in Shu, to secretly investigate the rumors of the collapse of the dragon vein.

Mu Qingao was twenty-two years old at the time, and he had just returned from Yungui to suppress bandits, and before he could rest and adjust, he took Jiang Jie, Su Yi and Master Yuantong of Dabei Temple to the northernmost place called Yazui Ridge in Qingyuan Mansion.

There encountered a group of black-clothed people ambushed, in the process of protecting Master Yuantong, Mu Qingao and Jiang Duel, Su Yi and others were forced to separate, he went all the way to the south, entered the boundary of Ningcheng and encountered another group of sneak attackers, Mu Qingao was outnumbered, was shot off the horse on the spot, and was forced to jump off the edge of the cliff.

When he woke up, he was already on the rosewood bed in King Jing's mansion, and Mu Qingao didn't know what happened in the middle. After Venerable Yuantong, who was proficient in medical skills, touched his pulse, his face sank, and he sneaked away from all the people who served around him and said such things to him.

"The prince has been hit by a poison called 'heart devouring', this poison is insidious and weird, it is easy to mutate when it encounters water, it will make people hot and unbearable, and urge seven emotions and six desires, if you can't have sex with women, it is very easy to explode and die."

When Jiang Jue found him, there was a disheveled woman sitting beside him crying, this person was Liu Xiaoyue, who later returned to the house with him, the concubine of Liu Shilang in Taiyuan Mansion, and the sixth in the family.

“…… Jiang Jue......" Lin Xuao, who was in deep thought, called softly.

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"Six hours have passed since I fell off a cliff and when I was found, and a lot of things have happened in those six hours."

"Yes!"

"Are you sure that I did fall overboard?"

"Yes!" Jiang Jue raised his head and looked at Lin Xuao, who was pale, and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, your jade pendant was found in Liujia Village, and according to Mrs. Song's explanation, she did pick up the jade pendant in the river. ”

Song Qingyun?

Why did Liu Xiaoyue appear in Liujia Village?

In the winter of the fourteenth year of Shunde, Mu Qingao, who temporarily suppressed the toxicity in his body, returned to Qingyuan Mansion with twenty personal guards. The Yazui Ridge that ambushed him at the beginning was unrecognizable, and the man in black who was captured by Jiang Jue and Su Yisheng committed suicide without waiting for their interrogation, Mu Qingao knew that his existence had become a thorn in the side of some people, so he had to suppress the investigation and ask Jiang Jue to carry out it secretly.

At this time, he received a secret order from the emperor, telling him to temporarily put aside the collapse of the dragon vein and collect evidence of the military department's buying and selling of officials. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a team of black-clothed people, and the battle was fought from Ningcheng to Yuxian, Mu Qingao had a poison attack in his body, lost his memory after being seriously injured, and hid in the mountains for half a year, and finally Jiang Jue found him in Liujia Village.

Liu! Liu!

After he was taken to Liujia Village by Song Qingyun, he felt that the clear water river was very terrifying, did he have bad memories there at the beginning, which led to an indelible impression in the depths of his memory?

Puzzled, Lin Xu Ao pushed the door out, and Jiang Jie, who was guarding under the corridor, hurried over.

"Prepare the horses!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yanping heard the sound of horses' hooves and didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he chased him out barefoot, but the prince had already gone out of the alley with Jiang Jue, and he was anxious to pat his thigh and shouted, "My lord, it's been three watches......

After arriving at Liujia Village, Lin Xuao asked Jiang Jue to wait at the entrance of the village, and walked to the house by the river by himself.

The blue water was gurgling, and it was particularly crisp in the quiet night, and along the riverbank all the way to the south, Lin Xuao stopped in the Hetao not far from Qingyun's house, and looked back at the dark houses, where the two months were his most leisurely and happiest days.

The vague memory in his mind came back to him, and he had a deep fear of the river, and took a tentative step into the river, and the cool water poured into his boots, and soon it reached his knees, and his waist and chest.

The river is so deep?

He tried to take a step to the side, stepping on the slippery pebbles under his feet, and slowly swam to the shallow water, Lin Xu Ao was stunned.

There was a scene in front of him, his body rose and fell with the flow of the river, there seemed to be a fire burning in his lower abdomen, he was in pain, desperately trying to get into the water to extinguish the fire, how could the river be too shallow, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sink, suddenly his palm touched a cold object, he subconsciously grabbed it and looked, it was a woman floating in the water.

The woman was frightened and lucid for a short time, and found herself being held tightly by a man, she shouted for help in fright, but in Lin Xuao's opinion, her delicate body was in his arms, undoubtedly igniting a gun, he lost his mind, tore the woman's skirt, and stuffed the hot object under his body into her legs and twitched rapidly.

"Ahh Lin Xu Ao slapped the water in a panic, impossible, impossible, how could he do such a shameless and obscene thing? Could it be that what Liu Xiaoyue said is true? Did you really force her?

No, no, the cold river washed over his heat, and he quickly calmed down.

That plum blossom brand, Song Qingyun said that it was connected with the jade pendant, before Liu Xiaoyue appeared, no one would play the plum blossom brand, how could it be put together with his own jade pendant? Who the hell is lying? Is it Liu Xiaoyue or ...... who wants to be strong Song Qingyun?
