Later, the official asked people to inform Dong Ruer that Dong Er was arrested, and explained clearly what Dong Qingzheng did for her and Dong Qingzheng's tragic death. But with a cup of tea, Dong Ruer explained everything she knew. ”

thought of Dong Ruer's brother who had always hated and hated her, and risked her life to rescue Dong Er, who had been in love with her, and then died tragically. Now, she is even doing everything she can for the enemy.

When she is older, she will miss the past, not to mention that she and her brother were not without brother and sister when they were young. At that time, my brother cherished her very much and gave her almost the best.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that her brother had no ambitions, so how could he drill into the government with all his heart? Probably, it's because of guilt that she wants to do something for her sister.

I have to say that people's hearts are always complicated, and at the beginning, there was more disgust and resentment, and at this time, I knew that the person who was connected to my blood had been dead for many years, and even the bones had not been collected. The only hatred in her heart is remorse.

Naturally, the psychological defense line also completely collapsed.

"This is an account of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and there are two private accounts, which are the properties and money that have been purchased through the Hundred Flowers Pavilion since she worked for Rong Gong." Tang Qiao didn't care about what kind of creation made people, and directly sent the account book, "I took a few looks, and the silver taels involved in just a few pages are already as many as 10,000 taels......

Sure enough, Gentle Township is a gold cave, even if there is a lot of family property, it can't resist the waste in this gold cave.

Xu Chu took the account book, looked at it silently for a long time, and then frowned and said, "Let people go to the business bank to check." ”

It is impossible for such a big deal not to cross the road with the firm in the yamen.

"Regardless of the name of the business, only the households that involve the most money and the largest business are investigated." She paused for a moment, and then admonished, "In addition, the whereabouts of the stolen silver that flowed into the capital have not been found so far. However, such a large sum of money must not all exist together, so it should be broken into pieces or buy land and shops, or use the identity of others to change their identity and launder through some kind of livelihood. But everything is changing, and these silver coins that have passed the clear road must have their own special account books. Therefore, when you start to trace down from the trading house, you must try your best to find another account, and trace it according to the names of the two private accounts of Baihualou. ”

Tang Qiaozheng was stunned by Wei Gang for a moment, and immediately figured out the key to her train of thought, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a clue." ”

Xu Chu bowed, "These silvers go out after passing through Baihualou's hands, even if they are past the surface, so it is not easy to find." But now that there are private accounts and fake accounts, you can find more clues by comparing the two. Any person whose head is different between the two accounts must be the name used by the person behind the scenes to launder the stolen money, and there will be something to be gained if he traces it down. ”

As long as they have those accounts, they can really root out that man's power. And in these intertwined entanglements of interests, there will be good news.

"As for those things of filial piety to officials, I also bothered Lord Tang to send a copy to be sent down and handed over to the Imperial History Observatory and the Ministry of Officials for verification."

Tang Qiaozheng nodded, and said indignantly: "It's really a moth in the court, think about the officials of our three law divisions, which one is not a real gun that comes and goes in the wind and rain to live, but it is better to sell his life than to sell his face twice to earn more!" ”

Xu Chu flicked the page on the accounts of the bribery officials on his hand, and said with a sneer: "Probably this is the difference between Defu and those that have been remembered for thousands of years. Besides, the lower officials thought that it was better to live comfortably because they were worried about being exposed every day. ”

Tang Qiao saw that she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and inexplicably remembered the uninhibited prince. Thinking about it, if he accepted a bribe, then the daily gaze of the Shangya on the prince would be more and more fearful than the two trembling hearts. That kind of life is not something that anyone can bear.

If it is discovered, the official will do a small thing, and it will be a big deal to harm the descendants of the family in the future.

"In addition, Lord Tang needs to send someone to inquire about the people who went to the palace to study Ma Boiling San. One is to check where he came from, and the other is to check whether anyone has asked him to buy medicine after he left the palace, or directly check the drug records of the other party's pharmacy, be sure to be meticulous. ”

Since when Xiao Qinglang had an accident, there was mandala powder and drugs that could make Xiao Qinglang unconscious, they must investigate from here.

If this game is laid out by that person in a short period of time, it will inevitably not be perfect.

After Tang Qiaozheng and Wei Gang left, Xu Chu was in front of the table and under the table, resorting out the clues they had now.

In fact, the matter that she and Xiao Qinglang are tracking down has gradually become clear. With the confessions of Dong Ru'er, Dong Er, and Xiao Zihang, it is not difficult for the three law divisions to catch many remnants of that person's side.

But the problem now is that if you catch those small fish and shrimp, although you can judge the case and convict you, it is useless if you don't catch the real culprit.

On the day of the arrow fired from the machine in the British Mansion, the red tape family emblem was engraved, and it can almost be concluded that it is the family crest of the Jinling royal family. In other words, Wang Yun and the remnants of the Wang family, or the remnants of Jin Lingwei, should be by Rong Yu's side.

No, Wang Yun shouldn't have followed him. After all, along the way, since they broke the conspiracy of Jinzhou City, he no longer planned to hide himself.

Since you can't overthrow the Great Zhou by force and seize the throne. The only way to do that is to find a gap in the bloodline. It is precisely because of this that the abandoned sons who can be regarded as witnesses one by one will be thrown out by him, including Xiao Zihang, who has been a confidant with him for a long time.

And Wang Yun has been given up by him since the accident in the Dong family's courtyard. According to his means, it is equivalent to sending the Xuanyang Daoist, that is, Wang Yun, into the Three Law Divisions.

But now the Xuanyang Daoist doesn't know his whereabouts......

It's a pity that she is only a human brain, if she has a computer at hand at this time, she can also guess the most likely place of Rong Yu and Xuanyang Dao according to the Manhattan measurement method. However, now, even if she has a theory, it is difficult for her to use her brain and pen and paper to draw a three-dimensional map of the entire capital.

She sighed, rubbing her throbbing forehead and sighed, she didn't expect that she would be so difficult because of the case.

The moonlight was cold, and the hazy light reflected the courtyard extraordinarily quietly, and also made the figure falling on the window more and more slender. But at this time, Xu Chu didn't have the heart to care about these at all, even if a few strands of annoying hair fell, she didn't feel it at all.

At this time, she just wanted to deduce his whereabouts based on the profile of Rong Yu's psychological portrait.

In a trance, she suddenly got up and ran out. As soon as she arrived outside the door, she saw Wei Guang, who had been guarding, and she didn't care about any male and female defenses, she directly reached out and grabbed Wei Guang, and said with burning eyes: "I know where Rong Yu is!" ”

Wei Guang was stunned for a moment, looked a little uncomfortable, and quietly pulled his sleeve out of her hand, and then asked solemnly, "Where?" ”

"At the second-floor restaurant in the West City Gate, it was the restaurant I passed by when I went to Guojiazhuang with the prince to check the scene of the Dong family's courtyard. At that time, the prince seemed to notice something, and he even asked people to go to investigate afterwards......" she said very quickly, and her tone was eager and anxious.

Wei Guang glanced at her trembling arms, hid the obscurity in her eyes, nodded and said, "I'll go personally." ”

Xu Chu shook his head, and when he saw him turn around in a hurry, he hurriedly grabbed him again.

"There is also Xuanyang Daoist, that is, Wang Yun. It is very likely that he returned to the Taoist temple, or he hid in front of and behind the Taoist temple......"

Although the Xuanyang Daoist is quite famous, in fact, since he was valued by the first emperor and the Dong family, he will inevitably be secretly ridiculed or jealous by some people. And last time, in order to investigate the case of the Dong family's courtyard, the government also issued a wanted warrant for him with a heavy reward, and even Tang Qiaozheng Sikong Han and others also ordered the officials to track down his whereabouts day and night.

In this case, without the protection of the first emperor and the people behind the scenes, it is difficult for him to escape. At least, on the territory of the capital, it is difficult for him to hide his traces.

And only the Danding faction Qingfeng Guan is there, in the deep mountains and old forests, there are no Taoist disciples and no official people staring, and the terrain is large and in the mountain col, it is very easy to hide.

Wang Yun, who is known as Xuanyang Daoist, has been operating in the capital for many years, and if he says that the only place is under his control, there is only that place.

Before, she had ignored that.

Seeing Wei Guang nodding, Xu Chu hurriedly added, "Not only Brother Wei, but Wei Yan is also going." If my guess is correct, that person should be followed by the remnants of Jin Lingwei, and it is very likely that they are the rebellious descendants of the Tantric case who were killed, and they are good at demagoguery and use side methods to win. These people have to be guarded, Brother Wei is bright and upright by nature, I'm just afraid that you will fall into the road......" Xu Chu looked at him fixedly, pursed his lips and said, "I know that the prince sent Wei Yan and the secret guard to protect my father and Aunt Chu, but as long as the two of them don't leave the palace, who can cross the guard and be detrimental to the two of them from the side of the imperial city?" If you use other means, or poison and assassinate you, in the palace, as long as there is a secret guard to guard you......"

"Brother Wei, it's not that I don't believe you and the guards, I'm just worried that those people have too many means."

Xu Chu spoke his guess very quickly, so that Wei Guang couldn't find a word to refute.

Seeing his hesitation, Xu Chu gritted his teeth and simply took out the token as he had shocked Wei Gang before and said, "If Brother Wei still hesitates, then I wonder if this token can make Brother Wei do what I say?" ”

Wei Guang saw that her face turned pale, and then looked at the token, and finally could only leave with his fists in response.

In the courtyard, the shadows are swaying and cold, and only the scattered lone lamps can slightly dispel the obscure darkness. But even so, it was difficult to resist the uneasiness and anxiety in Xu Chu's heart.

It wasn't until the cold wind blew and she shivered that she couldn't stand the cold, and she was able to come back to her senses. But after returning to her senses, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly, she actually forgot that that person was not in the palace or by her side, so no one would cover her and no one would add a cloak for her......

Somehow, Xu Chu suddenly felt that he was a little hypocritical, so hypocritical that he was a little aggrieved and a little overwhelmed.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the emptiness and coldness in her heart, and then snorted and walked back slowly.

Although the truth they tracked down had cleared the clouds, the problem now was to clear Xiao Qinglang's suspicion of murder.

Now the human and material evidence is very unfavorable to Xiao Qinglang. She wanted to find out the clues through the autopsy, but it didn't work, it was really sad.

After returning to the hall, Xu Chu didn't care about resting, and directly asked the housekeeper and Aunt Chu to come over. She carefully asked Aunt Chu if she had mentioned it to outsiders if anyone had ever been to her after she had successfully developed Ma Boiling Powder.

Aunt Chu thought about it carefully, and tried to recall the days when the hemp was boiling. It's just that in the end, she didn't come up with any clues.

"Our meals are all in charge of Ah Qiu, so apart from her, no one else really has entered the house where the drug is being studied. The day before yesterday, the lord of Mingzhu County came to the mansion and didn't find you, and when he was about to leave, he happened to meet Ah Qiu. You also know that Ah Qiu's temperament is very childish, she has heard about the investigation of the case by the lord of Mingzhu County, so she naturally obsessed with the lord of Mingzhu County and talked for a while. ”

"But they were only in the yard, and they didn't stay long."

After Aunt Chu finished speaking, the housekeeper on the side said: "These days, except for Lord Tang, no one else comes to the house. It was the evening before yesterday that the playboy came. At that time, he came to look for the prince, but the prince and Lord Xu were narrating in the study, so he wandered around the house by himself for a while. ”

"In the past, when the playboy came, he often wandered around by himself, and the prince did not prohibit it, so when he came that day, we didn't let anyone follow."

When Xu Chu heard this, he didn't open his mouth but frowned slightly, and finally his face condensed and fell into deep thought......

At the same time, Liu Yun, who was locked in the interrogation room in the inner court, was already a little broken. Just when she felt like she was about to be frightened crazy, the iron door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

She was very sleepy, but suddenly heard a clang, and her body suddenly tensed. What you can see is the appearance of the white-faced eunuch who asked people to bring him here before.

Lou An looked at Liu Yun and said, "Is Young Lady Yan willing to say it now?" ”

"What are you talking about......" Liu Yun bit her lip and asked with a frightened expression.

Lou An sneered and said, "That's boring, could it be that Mrs. Yan still wants someone to rescue you?" Don't say whether the people behind you promised you anything, just say that your existence is insulting to the royal family, do you think you can still get a good death? ”

"I ...... I was killed...... You let me meet the prince, I want to talk to the prince......"

Lou An glanced at her coldly, and just one glance made her subconsciously shrink.

"Lord Wang? Who didn't know that you, Mrs. Yan Shao, gave up the prince's mind for true love, and now it is possible that after framing the prince, you still want to renew the relationship with the prince? Lou An sneered, "Didn't the people behind you tell you that after framing the prince, you have only one way to die?" ”

"You...... I don't know what you're talking about......" Liu Yun's eyes flickered, trembling all over, obviously very panicked.

Lou An didn't care whether her expression was true or not, just continued: "If the matter is done, the prince's reputation will be damaged, and there will even be no way to live, and you, the insider, are afraid that you will be wiped out." If it doesn't work out, you're a scapegoat. You don't have a choice......"

Lou An's voice was full of unique coldness and contempt, looking at Liu Yun as if looking at an ant, and suddenly he chuckled and changed his words: "Oh, our family said it wrong." ”

"If it happens, you don't have a way to live, and the Liu family is afraid that it will also suffer. If the matter fails, you are the scapegoat, and the Liu family will also be punished by the three clans for murdering the prince. Left and right, as long as you don't tell the truth, you and the Liu family won't be good. ”

When Liu Yun heard his sharp laughter, she couldn't help but get goosebumps on her body, and she became more and more frightened in her heart.

Lou An looked at her directly, as if all her careful thoughts were hidden, which made Liu Yun shrink unconsciously.

In fact, Lou Anchang is not fierce, and even looks quite white because of his early years. But at this moment, his gaze really had a ruthless aura that was easy to fracture, and she only glanced at each other, as if she had been delayed.

To be honest, in such a situation, Liu Yun was indeed afraid, but she still had a little luck in her heart.

Although her status is not noble, but in the end, she is the daughter-in-law of the prefect of a state, even if the royal family wants to deal with it, she may not dare to directly erase her. Besides, she didn't believe that she was worse than Xu Chu, even though the world spread more about Xu Chu's ability, but in the final analysis, the reason why Xu Chu came to such a status today is inseparable from the care of King Jing'an.

Just like back then, just by virtue of the favor of King Jing'an, she could become the envy of many ladies in the capital.

As long as King Jing'an is still interested in himself, everything will inevitably be as the man said, in order to protect the royal face, the royal family will give her a new identity and let her enter the Jing'an Palace. And his father and the Liu family will also stand in the capital with a new look.

Although she was already timid, she also knew that she confessed everything at this time, and she was afraid that all her plans would be wasted.

The first half of her life was dim and terrible, and finally there were nobles who were willing to make decisions for her, and the price was just fame, so how could she not grasp it? As long as she is in a high position with power, who would dare to put her at fault?

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, looked up at Lou An with fear and said, "I...... I don't know what adults mean by that......"

Lou An raised his eyebrows, "Hehe, what do you mean, it's naturally literal." From the prayer map to the fact that you accompanied the three princes into Beijing, I am afraid it is all a conspiracy. You don't have to argue about it, if the three law divisions go to Jizhou to investigate, it is not difficult to find the clues, it is just a matter of time. ”

Liu Yun's face was pale, and her tightly clenched fingers were already cold and stiff, and she didn't dare to move.

Lou An got up and chuckled: "You think about it, Young Master Yan is still next door, whether his mouth will be so hard, it's hard to say." It's just that Young Madam Yan has to think clearly, if Young Master Yan speaks first and puts the blame on you, then when the Three Law Divisions decide, they must consider his cooperation and your resistance attitude...... At that time, it was impossible to say whose words the emperor believed more. ”

With that, he got up and left the interrogation room. And the iron door, once again, was slammed shut tightly, cutting off the light outside.

Liu Yun, who had been holding on strongly, was also weak, and sat down directly on the chair, without half of her strength.

I don't know if it's suspicious, she always feels that there is really someone next door who keeps talking, as if he is defending something, and as if he is confessing something......

There was only a faint light and silent silence in the interrogation room, but it was this silence that made her hesitation and uneasiness bigger and bigger, until she was like a light on her back.

Yan Ruming is there, and the treatment is not good. At first, he struggled to resist, but later he was tortured, and he no longer dared to be arrogant. is just like what Lou An said, he pushed everything to Liu Yun in just a few words, as if the good husband who was going to work hard for his wife and King Jing'an was acting.

Xu Chu first went through the facts of the case they had tracked down about Emperor Chengzong, Empress Gongshun and Emperor Xian, and then compared all the evidence one by one. King Su of Jinling, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Sun family, the more she compared, the more frightened she became, until in the end, she was cold all over her body.

When she wrote the last few pages of her codex, the whole conspiracy laid out by Rong Yu was completely revealed in front of her eyes. Now, the human and physical evidence is almost complete, and the rest is to clear Xiao Qinglang's suspicions.

When the sky was slightly white, she rubbed her eyes and put away the codex tiredly.

Xu stayed awake all night, and when she got up, her eyes were dark and she almost fell to the ground.

Xu Chu rubbed his forehead that had just hit the corner of the table, shook his head with a wry smile, and suppressed the dizziness in his mind. She thought that when all was over, she would have to sleep for three days, and no one could disturb her.
