Chapter 11 Candidates for Cooperation
"How did the owner learn about such a secret royal secret? I've never heard half of this rumor, how does the owner know so well? ”
"When I was young, I followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to fight on the battlefield, and I had seen his demeanor with my own eyes, and when I recently investigated the assassin case, I found the old person in the palace of the Queen Mother, when she was a palace maid, and overheard the conversation between the Lord of Mingyu and the Queen Mother, fortunately, she was tight-mouthed and did not reveal it to anyone, and later went out of the palace and got married."
"Then why did she tell you this secret after all these years?"
"Because I captured her son, who was one of the assassins who assassinated you, and she wanted to trade this secret for her son's life."
"Even if what you say is true, how can I believe you without evidence?"
"Is the jade jue worn on the waist of the prince a gift from the princess?"
"It's the concubine's beloved thing."
"This jade jue is originally a pair, the prince might as well ask Princess Ji where the other piece is."
"Okay, even if it's true, why did you tell me this?"
"Because it was your father who sent someone to assassinate you in the first place!"
"Nonsense! Why did my father kill me? Even if he knew that I was not his own child, everyone in the world knew that I was the son of King Ji, why did he kill me? And why did he ask you to investigate the Assassins? ”
"Lord Ji's original intention was not to kill you, but to blame King Li, and by the way, to remove trouble for Gongzi, that is, the innocent Yunliu, he didn't know that Gongzi was so affectionate, and he actually jumped off the cliff with that girl. It's a pity that the dead Yunliu girl is really a pity. It would be more convenient to let Bailu Villa investigate this matter, so as to blame King Li. ”
"Father will not be so ruthless, regardless of the family affection of the past twenty years, he used me to frame King Li and kill the innocent Yunliu, you are talking nonsense!" Mu Lianche didn't want to believe it, with tears in his eyes, if this was true, then Mu Lianche himself was killed by his father, which was too hurtful
"Don't you know how affectionate your father is? Does Childe remember Qiu Yi?
She didn't go out of the house to get married, she died in vain."
Qiu Yi, in order to win the trust of Princess Ji, King Ji killed the maid who had served him since childhood, in order to prevent their relationship from becoming Qiu Yi's weakness to blackmail him. just deceived the princess to find a good family to marry Qiu Yi.
"Hmph, just a few words from you can trick me into believing such a ridiculous story, am the owner of me a fool?" There was fire in Mu Lianche's eyes
"Childe, don't worry, we have found the killer who killed you that day, Childe can ask in person. Let him in! Bai Ying commanded
Not long after, a man dressed in black, not tall, with a mediocre appearance, belonged to a public face that could no longer be found in the crowd. He handed Bai Ying a sword, and Bai Ying handed the sword to Mu Lianche
The sword was indeed very familiar, and the hilt of the jasper sword was already stained with brown blood, as if it had been inserted into her body. His face changed drastically, and he suddenly remembered the original scene
"Does Childe have an impression of this sword?" Bai Ying asked
"No... I'm not impressed. Mu Lianche's voice trembled a little
"This Zhang Meng is the one who wanted to kill you at that time."
"A sword that I don't remember can mean that he made it? The man was masked, how did I know what he looked like! ”
"You were sitting in the carriage with a woman in green clothes, we stopped the carriage, you had no way to escape, I stabbed the woman, you yourself were injured but desperately protected the woman, and then hugged her and picked the cliff." Zhang Mengyun lightly described the terrible experience. If it weren't for personal experience, how could it be described so meticulously and accurately.
"Sure enough, it's you! Why are you killing us! I'm going to kill you for revenge! Mu Lian's eyes showed a fierce light, and he raised his sword and stabbed Zhang Meng. The sword was gently flicked away by Zhang Meng, Mu Lianche fell down one by one, and Bai Xing, who was losing, hugged him in time. was pushed away by him
"Don't play with such a dangerous weapon without any effort. It's not you who I'm going to kill, it's the girl, and it's you who want to die. Zhang Meng said.
"Why did you kill her?" Mu Lianche was full of questions
"I just take money from people to do things for others, why do I kill people and ask my employer."
"Who hired you?"
"I really don't know who he is, we never ask about the identity of the guests, this is the rule. He was masked every time he saw me. According to the rules, I will get the other half of the remuneration after the success. He flew a pigeon and passed a book to me, and asked me to meet in Linmeng. How could I have thought that he would ambush the archers and kill me! Does this arrow lord know? He took out a broken arrow from his arms, and the arrow clearly read "King Ji supervises the creation" four big words! Mu Lianche broke out in a cold sweat, and his brain spun rapidly, analyzing the relationship between the truth and falsehood of this information.
"And how do you escape?"
"I was poisoned by an arrow, and I didn't escape far before I fell, and it was the people of Bailu Villa who rescued me and brought me to the villa for refuge." Zhang Meng looked at Bai Ying with grateful eyes.
"Well, even if all this is true, what does all this have to do with White Dew Villa? Bailu Villa can obviously stay out of the matter, but the owner of the village took great pains to find out this, and said what is the reason for listening to me? ”
"Haha! I have heard of the good name of the son, and he is the candidate for the prince, and Bailu Villa is willing to help the prince achieve great things."
"Why help me?"
"In order to be the brilliant future of the Bai family"
"Master Bai, thank you for your confession and kindness, it's a pity that you found the wrong person. I don't want big things. ”
"Doesn't Brother Toru want revenge either?" Bai Xing stared sharply at Mu Lianche
"Revenge? Who to get revenge on? Father? Mu Lianche said to himself, he couldn't figure it out, if that person knew that it was his beloved and trusted father who wanted his life, he would definitely be heartbroken, but would he choose revenge? Will he ask his father to die? The man who raised him for 20 years, how did he do it?
"Childe, has you ever thought that King Ji will be willing for you to give up the position of prince, and will he easily accept your abandonment after so many years of planning? When the time comes, if he fails to achieve his goal, what will he do to make even more crazy means? I'm afraid the princess will be implicated then! Bai Ying secretly observed Mu Lianche's changing face
"Don't say it..."Mu Lianche felt that he was having trouble breathing, what should he do, what would Mu Lianche really do?
"I know that this series of things is difficult to accept, so the county king might as well sort out his own clues and think about it. Wake up in vain, send the king back to the room. ”
