Volume 1 Deceive Me, Insult Me, I Can't Bear Chapter 408 Peeling Back the Cocoon (1)

Gonggong Zhong died a strange death, but it was very simple. He passed by the gate of the cold palace and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly took a dagger and pointed it at his neck and stabbed it. At that time, except for the zanjin ding dog who secretly followed him, the ghost shadow did not float.

Xiao Wei speculated that Gonggong Zhong was scared after thinking about it, even if he went to report the news, it would be a dead end, so he simply broke himself.

This speculation was agreed by Zanjin and Ding Gou.

As for Mo Zi's bold hypothesis and suspicion of Zhong Gonggong's suicide theory, Xiao Wei turned a deaf ear, Ding Gou giggled, and Zanjin was silent, and it was rare to agree that she was thinking too much.

Mo Zi himself knew that there was no basis, so he didn't insist, and after seeing the scene of the crime, he went home.

called Geng and me, and Mo Zi gave him two silver tickets, "General Geng, please trouble you, one will be handed over to General Xu's family, and the other will be given to the dead and wounded guards." How to divide it, you have the final say. ”

I looked at the denomination and drank it in my heart, "So much silver!" Lord Mozi, in fact, if you don't need it, the officials will send out sympathetic silver. ”

"No amount of silver can buy a life, not to mention that this amount of money is not much. Moreover, although this battle wiped out all the knights of Daqiu, but the crown prince died, I am afraid that the ministers will be dissatisfied with our performance. I estimate that even if you don't remove yourself from your post and don't ask about your guilt, you will have compassion for money, and it won't be too much. "After the mold, they have to investigate and deal with the people who spread the news of the death of the prince, and now that the person is really dead, it is difficult to say whether he will be angry with the person who escorted him. Although Xiao Wei said that the queen is also benevolent, everyone has a sī heart.

"This .................. No way? The death of the crown prince was really unexpected, who would have thought that the archer was not dead. "Geng, I think so.

"General Geng, how long have you been in Qianniuwei?" Seeing him like this, Mo Zi wanted to wake up.

"It's been ten years." I replied.

"In the past ten years, how many times has General Geng encountered such fierce battles as today?" Mo Zi asked again.

"Today is the worst situation. Brother Xu and I mostly guard in the palace, and we may go out on patrol with the emperor every year or two, and at most we will encounter some small thieves, which is very easy to deal with. "Geng, I'm honest.

"Usually you live a stable life, right?" It's almost a peacetime soldier like me when I first arrived, so I don't have a sense of crisis psychologically. At this point, Xu Yang is stronger than Geng I.

Geng, I'm not dull, "What does Lord Mo Zi want to say?" ”

"I want to tell you that the sky has changed, and there is going to be a heavy thunderstorm, so you have to be careful and flexible. In the past, the court dispute may have nothing to do with you, but now maybe the first one to test you is the knife. General Geng, I see that you are good at kung fu and a good person, and I hope you will continue to live a stable life. So, don't be naïve. "Follow her, the one who is working hard for her, she wants to tell the truth, take a breath as much as possible, and kneel on one knee," Master Xie mentioned that the last general knew. ”

After I left, Mo Zi entered her single-courtyard shipbuilding room. Outside is like rain, as if the sky is flying and the sword can't be quiet in his heart, but it has only been two days, but it seems that he has spent his days like a year, and what needs to be done in his hand to sort out his thoughts.

After leaving for a few months, I came and went in a hurry last night, and then I found that the room was really full of "glow" - gray. She put on a work uniform and big sleeves, wiped the table casually, pushed all the paper and sawdust aside, and pulled out a brocade bag from the back of the table, and gently poured out two beads. It was the ear beads that Doulu put in the gold and silver that made Ding Gou rush back early and get it. The gold and silver money bank is probably only Da Zhou who continues to open its doors for business, although I don't know how long it can last, but Mo Zi is not worried. When the identity of the gold and silver was exposed, they had already begun to quickly withdraw the funds of the bank, whether it was seized or closed, and they were withdrawn after they had earned enough.

She was preoccupied, but the delicate file under her hand was held steadily, falling like a feather, and she was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry. The candle jumped, revealing the beads of rǔ white sè, as she expected, the bean green side was also a water pure pearl. In this way, she knows the whereabouts of the ten beads. Four were in the Min family, three were in her hands, one was in the gold and silver, one was in Yuan Cheng, and one was originally in Wu Chengwan's house, but now it is in the palace treasury.

"What the hell is the secret?" Mo Zi muttered to herself, wanting to open the second ear bead, but heard someone knock on the courtyard door.

She came to the door with the glass lamp, "Who?" ”

"It's me." Yuan Cheng's voice.

Mo Zi opened the door, smiling, "I'm finally back." ”

Yuan Cheng's original heart was thus put down, and her voice returned, causing his warmth to enter his eyes, flowing into the xiōng cavity, and showing a warmth that he had never felt before.

The feelings of nostalgia cannot be expressed, and the matter is as usual, "There is new evidence in King Li's case, that is, Xiao Wei's subordinate Neiying has admitted that he acted on the orders of King Li." ”

He saw her frowning, knowing what she was anxious about, and said, "It's not Zhong'an." ”

Mo Zi sighed loosely, "It's okay, although he is from Xiao Wei's side, he has always been good to me, and I really don't want him to be a big villain." ”

"It's not him who is the villain." It's a new word, but it's easy to understand, "It's Xiao Wei's pro-follower, the person who has followed him since childhood." I don't know us well, but Xiao Wei will feel uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, it is often the betrayal of those closest to you that hurts the most. But in my opinion today, Xiao Wei seems to have grown a lot overnight, and he should be able to calmly accept this fact. Mo Zi turned around and led him into the courtyard.

The door closed behind him, and it was just her and him.

This is also the first time Yuan Cheng came in, and when he saw the model of the mountains and rivers, he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and exclaimed, "The mind is delicate, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and you don't need to go out, you can see all the great rivers and mountains." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but I still like to climb real mountains, walk real water, and step on real rivers and mountains." Mo Zi put the glass lamp on the mountain stone, "Yuan Cheng, the prince is dead." ”

"I know. Today, Dali Temple is closed, and the news can't come in, but you will know it as soon as you go out. Even he felt caught off guard and confused, "I thought that if you went to see a white lotus, at most it would turn the Jiang Mansion upside down, and I was going to pay Jiang Tao money to rebuild." Who knew that you were so capable that you actually fought a small battle at the gate of the city with the big begger. ”

"Listening to you, there is a suspicion of cynicism." Mo Zi'er's eyes crooked, "I don't know how well-behaved I am, it's a coincidence that I can't write a book, and I am forced by evil forces to evolve like this." ”

So, he told in detail how the prince was domineering and forced her out of the city, her behavior in the palace, how she got out of danger, the strong wind outside the city gate, and the surprise attack on the east palace.

Yuan Cheng looked at the golden plum blossom handle on the glass pole, and after a while, the lantern walked into the black purple workshop, turned a blind eye to the messy stacking, cleaned up a piece of desktop by himself, and laid the paper with ink, and wrote up.

Mo Zi looked at it in the past, and it was a key figure in the crown prince incident and a sketch of the palace.

"Not to mention whether there is a connection between the prince and King Li's collusion with Daqiu, I am puzzled by Daqiu's behavior of killing the prince. As we all know, the crown prince is mediocre, if he becomes the emperor, the Great Zhou will definitely get worse and worse. This is extremely beneficial to the ambition of seeking people. The woman in front of him was not a woman who needed soft words to comfort her, and Yuan Cheng knew that she would be happy to discuss this matter with him.

"I'm not confused. Wuyan, the king of Great Request, may not want the prince of Da Zhou to die, but Concubine Xiang-" Mo Zi pursed the corners of her lips coldly, "Although she is smart, as long as she can hit me, she can't care about so much." If I speculate on her thoughts, the death of the prince will drag me into the water, and shake the foundation of the Great Zhou. The emperor had only two sons, and when the crown prince died, there was only the younger second prince. Although the crown prince is mediocre, he is an adult after all, and it is difficult to control. Yuan Cheng, in fact, it doesn't matter to Daqiu whether the prince lives or dies, because Daqiu captures Yuling and unifies the world, the pace of unifying the world will not stop today, and they are not interested in losing the country after the prince ascends the throne, it is already too far away. Although women are easily swayed by feelings, Concubine Xiang's move seems to be unthoughtful, but it is not completely impulsive.

Yuan Cheng nodded, "You're right. ”

"Compared with the clarity of the hostility on the side of Daqiu, I now want to find out who is behind all this in Da Zhou. Do you know? I really feel that maybe King Li is the unlucky scapegoat, otherwise there is so much evidence pointing to him, can he insist on denying it? What's more, the matter of the prince leading people into the city happened after King Li was arrested. Gonggong Zhong is obviously not doing things for Daqiu, and it is impossible for him to pass the news to King Li, so it must be someone else. That person, who sent Gonggong Zhong to spy on the prince in the East Palace, and kept silent when he knew that Mingmei was a big quest, was a sign of collusion with Daqiu, and it was very likely that he was the real mastermind. "Before, I always regarded King Li as the mastermind, so I couldn't sort out a lot of things. If the king of rites is removed from the analysis, there is another person who intuitively conspires with him.

"Heroes see the same thing." Yuan Cheng put a question mark on the paper, "I didn't understand why there were so many actions under the bottom after King Li was arrested, but after you said it, I understood." ”

"What?" Mo Zi didn't understand.

"Because the other party can't wait, just like the big one. It has been nearly twenty years since the Yuan family was beheaded, and that person has been arranged for so long, and he has already had power in the court, harem and rivers and lakes, and Daqiu has also taken the first step and won a big victory, and it is finally time to cooperate. At this time, it is necessary to make a big move. I'm afraid that King Li is just the brick that was thrown out to attract jade. Yuan Cheng said.

"King Ruoli is really a brick, I have to say that the other party is too powerful, and he has set up such a delicate and patient game." Twenty years ago, I found a substitute for the dead.

"Of course, maybe King Li is not so innocent." Yuan Cheng smiled.

"Regardless of King Li or others who are rebelling for the time being, you can help me think about it first, why did Gonggong Zhong suddenly commit suicide while walking?" It's about her reputation.

"It's not difficult." Yuan Cheng already has the answer...
