Chapter 82: This Black Cauldron Can't Be Carried
The two had planned to leave after checking Lin Fucheng's condition, but now that there were too many suspicions, they decided to go elsewhere to investigate.
Originally, I wanted to go to the Lin family's master's residence to investigate first, but I found that although the southern district where the Lin family's head was located, the guards didn't seem to be too strict.
But Bai Tang found that there were many people lurking in the shadows through the location of the characters shown by the system map, and the martial arts of these people should not be weak, or they had special training in the lurking, because if they didn't rely on the system map, they wouldn't be able to perceive it at all.
Bai Tang told Wei Jiuli about the situation.
Wei Jiuli frowned even more tightly when he heard this.
"Go to Princess Huixian's side and have a look."
Previously, the approximate living directions of several main characters could only be vaguely obtained from the maid's mouth, so after determining the approximate living area, it could only be temporarily calculated based on the location of the characters displayed on the system map.
They lurked towards the second place where the missions were most distributed.
This is an independent courtyard, in the center of the West District, the entire area layout is different from other directions, there are two three-story pavilions in the center, it is estimated that this place is specially built for Princess Huixian.
The Lin family is so enthusiastic about it, no wonder Princess Huixian takes such a fancy to the Lin family.
However, according to the location of the characters, only the outer three layers of guards in the west area are stricter, but they are not stricter inside, and there are no lurking people in the secret.
However, there were a few guards on the periphery of one of the pavilions, all of them on the bright side, and it was obvious that the strength of those people was not low.
But that's all, compared to the people lurking in the shadows on the side of the head of the Lin family, the arrangement of Princess Huixian's side can be said to be trivial, which is obviously not right, indicating that the people on the side of the head of the Lin family are likely to have nothing to do with Princess Huixian.
Of course, it may be that only Princess Huixian doesn't know, after all, except for Princess Huixian, the rest of the Tong family, including her own son surnamed Tong, all have the blood of the Lin family.
Wei Jiuli has never been in contact with this princess, but he has also heard his father say that although the other party has a grudge against the royal family, the loyalty and righteousness in his bones cannot be erased, this is the influence of the family for hundreds of years, so there is no need to be afraid, not afraid that she will do things that are harmful to the country.
But others are not necessarily, which is also the reason why the monarch only canonized Tong Jirong as An Pinghou, that is, to avoid the rapid expansion of the Lin family through the Tong family.
If you want to say that the Lin family wants to be detrimental to the country, but you can't find a motive, but if that's not the case, then why do they raise so many private soldiers?
The two avoided the guards and quietly climbed up to the second floor, and they were lucky, the second floor happened to be the floor where Princess Huixian lived.
"No, the head of the Lin family sent someone to send the soothing soup, and it happened that Mrs. had just taken it and rested, so I sent the stew back to the kitchen."
The two of them lurked for a while, and then they vaguely heard someone talking.
"Oh, the head of the Lin family has a heart, and he doesn't live up to his wife's protection."
"Yes, it's a pity that good people are always not rewarded, I heard that a few doctors were sent away just now, the death of Young Master Lin Xiaosun hit the Lin family master too hard, poor white-haired people send black-haired people."
"Yes, it's so pitiful, if you want to say that the person who killed Young Master Lin Xiaosun is too hateful, such a person should be pulled to beheaded."
"Hmph, it's hard to say about this, I heard that the person who killed Young Master Lin Xiaosun seems to be the imperial commander from the palace, and it was brought by the Nine Emperor Princes."
"Is it the Nine Emperor Princes who caused Madame to lose his temper at night? Sure enough, the royal people are not good people. ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, be careful of losing your head."
"What are you afraid of, no one else here will hear it anyway."
"Let's be careful."
"Okay, by the way, where are you going?"
"In the evening, the master instructed me to give me more contemplative incense, for fear that my wife would not sleep well tonight."
"The lord is really good to his wife, and he is still so affectionate after so many years."
"That is, they all say that adversity sees the truth, I heard that they met when Mrs. was in trouble, and now it can be regarded as bitter and sweet, I hope there will be no more twists and turns."
"Yes, okay, don't say more, you can go quickly."
"Mm-hmm, I'll talk to you later."
"Okay."
Their voices stopped here, followed by a slow approach.
Shielded by cornices and railings, the two of them bowed down, and waited for the maid to turn the corridor and walk away, before they came out.
Bai Tang's nose twitched slightly, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
After making sure that no one was passing by, she whispered to Wei Jiuli, "Follow that girl." With that, he turned over to the cloister.
The maid took the tray and walked around the corridors, stood outside a door, explained to the night watchman who was guarding outside, and pushed the door in.
The two people hiding in the corner glanced at each other, frowned slightly, and looked around, but they couldn't find a hiding place, so they had to give up.
Smoothly left the Lin Mansion, and the two turned back to the mansion.
In the middle of the month, the lights in the palace have been turned off.
Bai Tang closed the door, Wei Jiuli shook off the fire, lit the candlestick, and then asked, "How is it?" ”
"Lin Fu's death is similar to Mu Shaochen's, but he didn't die from the Peach Blossom Gu poison, but was poisoned by another poison, along with the Gu worms in his body, and he should have been dead for at least five days, and the rest, unless he can open an autopsy, he can only get these."
"Five days ......" Wei Jiuli's eyes were slightly downcast, his face was a little ugly, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in his eyes.
Bai Tang also showed a helpless expression.
Obviously, Commander Wei was very unlucky to fall into the conspiracy trap of others, not to mention the black cauldron for others, and also mixed up the water.
Bai Tang had already roughly guessed something before.
It is estimated that Lin Fucheng was poisoned by the peach blossom Gu, but the Lin family only thought that he had flower willow disease.
Not to mention the Lin family, Princess Huixian's attitude was there, and the Lin family didn't dare to let this matter be publicized, but it was estimated that during that time, they would have to prepare for the old lady's birthday and welcome the arrival of Princess Huixian, so they could only hide people first.
The person who clashed with Wei Tong before was probably just a stand-in for the Lin family.
According to the Lin family's plan, they probably wanted to wait for Princess Huixian to leave, find an opportunity to let this stand-in die, and then announce Lin Fucheng's death openly.
I didn't expect this to be bumped into by Commander Wei.
It is likely that Commander Wei found out what he didn't know at that time, but the Lin family was a thief, so they simply advanced the plan and let Lin Fucheng 'die violently'.
It's like people dozing off and giving pillows.
The most important thing is that this matter not only delays the task of detoxification, but if it is not handled well, it may cause disputes between Princess Huixian and the royal family again.
Although the royal family is not afraid of her, they can't block the mouth of the world, after all, it is the orphan of the martyrs, or the orphans of the martyrs who were killed by the emperor.
What's more, what needs to be resolved now may not only be the death case of Lin Fucheng, but also the matter of the Lin family's private raising of soldiers, and it is impossible to say that this matter may be more and more widely involved.
Wei Jiuli's first guess was whether the Lin family would be a soldier raised by a certain prince.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and they could see the solemnity in each other's eyes, no matter what, this pot must not be implemented.
Bai Tang suddenly said, "By the way, I just discovered one more thing. "NPC in ancient times: love at the doctor's sight, rely on you
