Chapter 459: It's All the Living Dead
Early in the morning, Chu Lixue was sitting in front of the window combing her hair, and Nangong Yihan hugged Chu Lixue from behind, "It's such a good day, I really don't want to be an emperor anymore." ”
"You don't do it? How can you do it, the people of Beichen still expect you to bring them a peaceful and joyful life, and at the same time, you are also the pillar of the imperial court and the hope of those women in the harem. Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
"It's true that you are a red face, but it is definitely not a disaster, but a lucky star of Beichen Kingdom."
was chatting, and the remnant leaf stood at the door and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Ning Xiang has prepared a meal, do you want to bring it in?" ”
"No need, just put it in the yard, and it's more lively for everyone to eat together." Chu Lixue said lightly.
After breakfast, I heard a quick knock on the door, and the remnant leaves stepped forward to open the door to see that it was the head of the cell guarding the prison who hurriedly ran over.
When the cell boss saw Chu Lixue and Nangong Yihan, he knelt on the ground with a puff, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." ”
The cell boss didn't say anything, just shouted to spare his life, which really made Chu Lixue and Nangong Yihan feel a little inexplicable, but Nangong Yihan was still more sensitive than Chu Lixue, and the cell boss ran over early in the morning, could it be that something happened in the prison? Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on, say it quickly!" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's not good, last night, the money was robbed." The cell leader knelt on the ground and said urgently.
What was robbed? Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Chu Lixue also planned to let Han Jiang and Ye Wushuang secretly escort Qian Jin back to Cloud City together when she left for Cloud City in the next few days, but now, Qian Jin was rescued in prison, so who would be the person who saved him?
Could it be a helper for money? If it's really Qianjin's helper, then he should be rescued when Qian Jin was just imprisoned, so as not to let him stay in prison for so many days, if it's not a helper, then it must be a person with interests, the other party is afraid that he said something that shouldn't be said, so he will start first, if so, then the current Qian Jin is probably dead.
Originally, she kept the money for the time being, just thinking that there would be witnesses and physical evidence, in this case, those ministers did not dare to quibble, but now, the witnesses are gone, and no one can prove that the confession is from the hands of money, so it is a good plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
"What? Taken away? Didn't you take a closer look? How could it be robbed? Did the jailer have any dead or wounded? Han Jiang frowned.
"The jailer on guard last night was fine, but he was knocked unconscious, and the other prisoners in the prison were also drugged with sweat medicine." The cell boss shuddered.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, sure enough, everything was planned, and now it is certain that Qian Jin must still be alive, if the other party really wants to kill him, he can be in prison, since he took Qian Jin away from the prison so much, then it means that Qian Jin is still valuable to him.
"Sweat medicine? actually used such a ninth-rate method. Han Jiang sneered.
"yes, so...... They also did not see who the gangsters were. The cell boss said lightly.
Hmph, what did you not see, the door of the prison is closed, it can knock them out, and the other prisoners' food is covered with sweat medicine, which shows that the other party has been prepared for a long time, and it is a person who is familiar to them in the yamen, even if a stranger wants to enter the prison to visit the prisoners, it is also to give money to the cell guards, and if they can do it without warning, it must be someone they are familiar with.
As for who this familiar helper is, it is necessary to check who has left the county government now, and he is missing. Thinking of this, Chu Lixue said lightly: "Is there anyone in the county government who has been absent recently?" ”
Chu Lixue's question seems to be insignificant, but if you think about it carefully, you can guess that she wants to start investigating from the people in the county government.
"Niangniang, since the last time a few people from the county government died, many people didn't dare to be errands, for fear of being poisoned, but they still recruited a few new people, but those newcomers are not familiar with us, but...... I heard that there was a man named Li Ergou, who asked for leave to return to his hometown the day after Qian Jin and the others were imprisoned, saying that his mother was sick and wanted to go back to see him. The cell boss said lightly.
Hmph, there could be such a coincidence, but at this time, that Li Ergou went home to visit his mother? Or rather, he went back to ask for instructions from his master.
"Okay, I know everything, you can go back first." Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.
After the cell boss left, Chu Lixue looked at Nangong Yihan, and when she saw that his face was solemn, she immediately patted the other party's hand lightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, Sai Weng knows if it's a blessing." ”
Hearing this, Nangong Yihan looked at Chu Lixue, did he know if he was blessed? Could it be that Lixue has been on guard for a long time? Or does she already have a countermeasure in mind?
"Husband, don't look at me like this, I don't know if the person who robbed the money is Li Ergou."
"So you don't know?" Nangong Yihan said with some frustration.
"But I'm sure Qian Jin must not have left here yet, but he is under guard, and it is not difficult to find him."
"So how do you find it? We don't know who Li Ergou is. Han Jiang said anxiously.
"I think, someone will come to this town in the near future, it doesn't matter who Li Ergou is, who he obeys is the key." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"And what if the money has already been killed?"
"No, the other party shouldn't know that we have found the account book, and I don't know that I once went to the prison to ask Qian Jin to write a confession."
"But that night, the matter of your going to the prison, second sister, can't be guaranteed to be airtight."
"Don't worry, as long as you saw Lixue that night, they are all living dead now."
The living dead? When Chu Lixue heard these three words, she looked at Ye Wushuang in surprise, since they were the living dead, then Ye Wushuang definitely didn't take their lives, let them be the living dead, it was really better to kill them.
"What do you mean......" Hane said.
"Yes, the deity gave them poison, although they can't die, but they can't speak or write with their hands, so they can only lie on the bed and let people take care of them."
"What if they are cured?"
"No, how can the things of the Cold Moon Palace be so easy to solve? Are you interested in treating them? Ye Wushuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Jiang Dao.
Hearing this, Han Jiang shook his head vigorously, he didn't have the person who endangered his family when he was idle, besides, those jailers were not good people, drinking and gambling all day long, bullying the people in the town, if it weren't for the virtue of having a good life in heaven, he Hanjiang would have ended them a long time ago.
It's just that this Ye Wushuang would do this, it's really a little unexpected, the dignified Lord of the Cold Moon Palace actually went to poison a few people with his own hands, which is really overkill.
"What are you kidding? How could I go to treat them, besides, where can I solve the poison of your Cold Moon Palace? ”
"Don't be so unconfident, Hanjiang, I'm very optimistic about you." Ye Wushuang smiled lightly. Immediately, the folding fan was unfurled, gently fanning on the chest, the wind brought by the fan, fluttering a few strands of hair on Ye Wushuang's chest, a man turned out to be so handsome, if it was a woman, I am afraid it would also be a scramble for chase.
Qian Jin has been missing for three days, this town is still as usual, Hanjiang is a little anxious, if no one comes to the court, then Qian Jin's whereabouts are even more difficult to find, if he is dead, then it is really dead without proof.
And what Han Jiang thought of, Chu Lixue naturally thought about it, but she learned to hide it and didn't show it too much.
On this day, Chu Lixue came to the market with the remnant moon and remnant snow and Ning Xiang, and suddenly heard the scolding of several family members, where the sedan chair passed, the people were all driven away by evil slaves, just to make the people in the sedan chair smoother.
"What kind of person is in this sedan chair, he is so proud." The people around him were not angry.
"I don't know, but it seems to have a lot of origins."
"Hmph, no matter how big a person is, what can he do? Aren't the emperor and queen still living in our town? ”
As soon as these words came out, the person sitting in the sedan chair shouted, "Stop." A young man next to the sedan chair immediately shouted, "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair quickly." ”
The sedan chair stopped, and the young man walked to the sedan chair again and whispered, "Master, what do you command?" ”
"Go and bring the few people who just spoke over, Master Ben has something to ask."
Listening to the voice, you know that the person in the sedan chair should have passed the year of ear shun, but he is not a court official, what right does he have to let the family pull the people to be interrogated by him at will?
A person who dares to act so arrogantly, even if he himself is not a high-ranking official, but at least he must have the support of high-ranking officials behind him, otherwise, he still acts like this when he hears someone say that the emperor and the queen are here.
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue also had some sense of watching the play, and thought that she was wrong, but she didn't expect that the big fish didn't come, but she sent shrimp soldiers and crab generals. I'm afraid that person also heard that he and Nangong Yihan are here, and it is not easy for him to show up, so he sent a confidant to come.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the person in the sedan chair say in a deep voice: "A few of you just said that the emperor and the queen are in this town, but is it true?" ”
"It's true, a few days ago, the emperor personally tried the county order and the big villain here."
"Then since the county order and the big villain have been disposed of, why haven't the emperor and queen left yet?"
"We know this, maybe the new county order has not come, and the emperor is afraid that we will suffer." One of the old men guessed.
"Oh? The three of you chew on the root of your tongue, the emperor and the queen are also what you pariahs can discuss? Come on, tie them all up for me, send them to the county government in a while, and hand them over to the emperor for disposal. The man in the sedan said coldly.
Just when a few family members were about to tie up the people, they heard a voice, "Slow ......"
