Chapter 74: The Forces of the Shadows
"It doesn't make sense," after listening to Yin Si's words, Kurong fell into deep thought.
If the people of the Qi country make a move, then the people of their Qi country are too powerful, and the jade that is tributed, can they guess who will give it to and who will wear it?
Besides, even if the people of Qi really want to do something, won't they both do it?
"Could it be someone from the palace?" Come to think of it, only the own people in the royal family can doubt it.
"This pair of jade pendants was paid tribute at the beginning of the year, and they were placed in the warehouse of the Wu Palace for almost a year," Ye Qiongwen also informed, "This is a reward from the queen, and before the jade pendant was rewarded, it was not out of the warehouse." ”
"It will take at least two days to seal the voodoo inside," after the jade pendant was rewarded to Ye Qiongwen and Gongbo Xinxin, it was sent to Huguo Temple on the second day to be consecrated.
"That is, he was passive in Huguo Temple," Ku Rong knew, and the person who went to investigate came back to tell him, "The jade pendant has been in Huguo Temple for a month, and it coincided with the death of the Queen Mother at that time. ”
"I also suspect that this is the case," Yin Si frowned, "I don't know if this slight toxin will harm Zhezhe's body." ”
"It's okay, I've checked," Kurong comforted him, "I didn't come for her in the first place, but fortunately she doesn't like incense much." ”
In this way, the suspicion of Liu Ying and Liu Fu is much smaller.
"Liu Ying and her aunt, should have collided by mistake?" Ku Rong sat aside with his hands folded.
"At present, it seems that there is no connection," Yin Mi also realized this, "let his men keep an eye on the temple to see if they can find out anything more." ”
"I've sent someone," Yin Si didn't need to explain this matter, he had already arranged it.
Yin Si nodded, and the two of them sat in the tea room, drinking tea, silently, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Today's weather is still good, Zhezhe because of yesterday's tranquility incense and jade pendant, today is in a coma all day, and there is no appetite to eat.
Yin Si and Kurong went to visit her in the morning, and when they saw that she was sleeping peacefully, they came back, and at this time, it was almost noon.
"Duchess and Madame Wang, what have you discovered?" Yin Si remembered that yesterday his subordinates came to report that two wives had taken people to the countryside on the outskirts of the city.
"It's to find Wei Jin's nurse when she was a child," Ku Rong shook his head, "Two years ago, the nurse had tuberculosis, and she didn't survive the winter, and there were no more people." ”
"Do you suspect this nurse?" Yin Si thought for a while and asked, "Now, that Wei Jin, is there a lot better?" ”
"When she woke up, she was still losing her temper," Ku Rong shook his head, "The Imperial History Mansion asked the doctor to prescribe a lot of calming medicines, so that Wei Shen guarded her and didn't let her go out. ”
"What about Liu Ying?"
"Liu Ying, it's not a big deal, she stays in the yard quietly every day, embroidering and playing the piano and painting, and there is nothing abnormal," Ku Rong thought about it and said, "This Miss Liu asked the maid to come over and ask me when she will be able to go home, if she can't go home, can she go to visit Zhezhe and Wei Jin." ”
"Oh?"
"I let her stay in her yard," I was already suspicious of her, and Kurong naturally wouldn't let her out.
"Check it out, Wei Jin's matter has not yet been seen, and a mystery of the jade pendant has popped up, how can you see, the forces behind this are all targeting the last two female dolls of the Gongbo clan," Ku Rong shook his head and sighed, "I always feel that these two things are not done by one force." ”
"What do you mean?"
"On Wei Jin's side, in ten years, the people who laid out the layout are likely to be the same as the forces that spread rumors in the Wei State twenty years ago," Ku Rong put forward his opinion, "and the people who harmed Xin Xin are estimated to live in the imperial city." ”
"You suspect it?" Yin Si raised an eyebrow.
"Zhezhe's previous assassination, I still insist, it is the people in the royal family of Wu State, they must know something, so they want to kill people and kill people, leaving only the blood of a public uncle's family." That is, the uncle Xin Xin who has been married to Ye Qiongwen.
"What do you want to explain the voodoo?"
"The poison on Wei Jin's body, not to mention for a long time, is still very vicious," Ku Rong replied one by one, "And the voodoo sealed in the jade pendant this time is the more chronic and tormenting the existence of people." ”
If it is really the same wave of people who want to kill Xin Xin, then it can be completely killed.
"Wei Jin had a seizure that day, if nothing else, the person who died at that time was Zhezhe," how to explain this, if the person who poisoned Wei Jin wanted to kidnap Zhezhe, then she should be protected.
"Wei Jin won't move Zhezhe," that day, Ku Rong was at the scene, and he didn't realize it at the time, but when he thought back carefully, Zhezhe said a lot of things that angered Wei Jin at that time, but Wei Jin clasped his hands and stood in place, "At that time, her eyes were red, and when she had a voodoo attack, she once had the urge to rush to Zhezhe, but she just couldn't move." ”
If Liu Ying hadn't interjected, Ku Rong could be sure, "The poison in her body implanted certain orders in her, making her dare not move Zhezhe, do you remember, Liu Ying mentioned, what Wei Jin said when she had a seizure?" ”
I will definitely obey the master's orders and take the wild geese back.
Zhezhe's body is gradually recovering now, Xin Xin is already married, if you want to get the last uncle's bloodline, then only Wei Jin is left.
The other party began to scheming ten years ago, approached Wei Jin, and poisoned her to cultivate. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, Wei Jin would be estranged from her two cousins because of Wei Zhen's death.
"When Wei Jin was a child, he was very clingy to his two cousins," This is the information given by Qingchuan Pavilion.
If their cousin relationship is still the same, it would be very simple to deceive one of them, and the people behind the scenes originally only wanted one.
"When you say that, I suspect a person," Yin Si's hand knocked on the table.
"Let's talk about it," Ku Rong also has a suspicious person in his heart, but this person is dead.
"Wang Weizhen!" The person Yin Si suspects is Wang Weizhen, who was kidnapped with Zhezhe two years ago.
"Coincidentally, so am I," the person Ku Rong suspected, was also Wei Zhen, who had been dead for more than two years.
Stealing the jade seal is the crime of the Nine Clans, if Gongbo Xin Xin is not clear, then as the eldest son of the imperial history, it is impossible for Wang Weizhen not to know. Guo Qiang hooked Wang Weizhen so easily, saying that it was unreasonable for him to take his uncle Xin Xin and steal the jade seal and leave.
Gongbo Zhezhe replaced Gongbo Xinxin to persuade Wei Zhen, and the two were arrested together, Zhezhe is a little girl, she has no ability, it is understandable, but Wei Zhen has learned some kung fu to some extent, the two of them are in the courtyard, the maid is guarding aside, and they can be hijacked away, originally thinking that Li Chenliang's people are too powerful, and they can speak and be strong in martial arts.
But when Yin Si killed Guo Qiang, he was not very strong.
"This Guo Qiang, I also have to investigate it again," the incident of two years ago, the more I thought about it, the more strange it became, and the more I thought about it, the more unreasonable it became, Yin Si held the cup in his hand, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.
"Wait a minute," there seemed to be something missing, there was a point, as if it was spinning in his mind, Yin Si thought for a while, and finally recalled, "At that time, when I went to save Zhezhe, Li Chenliang went out to meet guests!" ”
That's right, it's a visitor, Yin Si still let people stare at it, and the people who were staring at it came back, just saying that he was an ordinary dealer and brought a lot of souvenirs to Li Chenliang.
At that time, he only suspected that it was just an eyeliner of his in Wu Kingdom, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that this person is not simple.
"After Wang Weizhen's death, the imperial historian was secretly buried," At that time, Zhezhe was found by the prince of Wu and rescued, so the royal family of Wu must know what happened here, and the uncle family and the imperial historian are also clear, so they dare not speak out.
The forces in the secret have been fighting the idea of the uncle's family, and after the royal family of Wu Kingdom knew about it, they naturally only wanted to keep one line and kill the redundant one, and the other force naturally would not stop.
If the royal family of Wu had murderous intentions, then another force would definitely want to take Zhezhe away as soon as possible, so the voodoo on Wei Jin's body began to wake up, but before they could officially control her, she was exposed.
"The people of Wu State will still have action, and other forces in the shadows will not be able to sit still," Ku Rong pointed out, "This Liu Ying, I'm afraid it won't be so simple." ”
"I still don't understand a little, why do you want to harm your uncle?" The royal family of Wu did everything possible to get this bloodline, so why did they kill her?
"It's very simple," Ku Rong had already pondered, "Go to the mother and keep the child, isn't the uncle Xin Xin pregnant?" Isn't it easy for the Wu royal family to control the gender and heirs of several generations of the Gongbo family? ”
The voodoo in the jade pendant will only make people have nightmares, lethargy and tiredness, and the body is not as good as day by day.
This jade pendant is just to determine the date of her death, as for the child, "Although she will be unwell because of the slight toxin, but the fetus can be completely hung by the imperial doctor with medicine, and her vitality will be exchanged for the fetus, I can open this prescription." ”
Originally, it was to get the bloodline of the Gongbo clan, and if you have children, you will have a continuation, and Gongbo Xin will have no use value.
"When I went to Gongbo's Mansion, I asked Gongbo Shengde for a pulse, and there was something else in his body," Ku Rong could be sure, "This thing is a southern poison with the same name as voodoo, and it is also an insect as an introduction, you know, this is a Wei thing." ”
"Gu poison?" Yin Si was surprised, some of the mountain tribes in Wei understood this, and when the country was founded, many soldiers were poisoned and died. After the founding of the country, the Wei State wantonly wiped out these tribes that had Gu poison, and the whole clan was slaughtered, set fire to the mountains, and left no armor.
I thought it was gone.
"Before, the royal physician of the Gongbo Shengde clan was tracked down, wasn't the news broken? I asked people to track it down for half a year, and I really found out that this Taiyi clan all fled from the Wei State," everything goes without saying, Ku Rong shook his head, "Originally, I thought that there were only deep mountain tribes hiding in the mountains and were not easy to be discovered, but I didn't expect that the Wu State actually took in some people and asked them to control the Gongbo clan in a special way." ”
Gongbo Shengde, the Gu poison is deep, even if it is pulled out, it will not be of any use, on the contrary, it will kill him.
This Taiyi clan who used Gu poison to deal with the Gongbo clan was originally to survive, but in the end, they still let the royal family of Wu State assassinate and exterminate the clan.
In the final analysis, harming others will eventually harm oneself.
