Seeing Jiang Fu's flustered appearance, Xiao Huaijin looked back at the north wind: "Send someone to inform Li Yu immediately, I am going to see Zhen'er." ”

As he spoke, he turned back to Jiang Fu: "You hurry up and send a letter to the Duke of Wei now, and I'll go see Zhen'er first to see what the situation is in this matter." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked outside, Jiang Fu didn't dare to slack off, and hurried back to the county lord's mansion to find Wei Guogong.

Because Xiao Huaijin couldn't go directly to see Hua Zhen from the Criminal Department, he had to avoid people's eyes.

Before he could reach the Criminal Department, Fang Fei, who was beside Qin Guifei, arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department first.

Because it was the people around Qin Guifei, and there was also the Dongjun Wangfu as the backstage, the people in the Criminal Department didn't dare to be embarrassed, and directly let Fang Fei in.

Looking at the comer, Vera stood up.

Fang Fei respectfully saluted, and the yacha retreated, and Fang Fei immediately said: "County lord, the concubine asked the slave to come and see you." ”

"Thank you for me. When Hua Zhen heard this, she thought about Qin Guifei and blessed her body.

Fang Fei didn't dare to accept this salute, turned sideways slightly, saw that the yacha had walked away, and then said cautiously: "County lord, Niangniang also asked the slave maid to say a word to the county lord, Niangniang returned to Yanxi Palace and asked all the palace eunuchs, then Tang Wan'er has never been to Yanxi Palace." Let the slave and maid ask the county lord, do you want to tell the emperor now?"

Hua Zhen looked at Fang Fei's eyes when she heard this, and when she saw her nodding, she immediately understood in her heart.

This means that Tang Wan'er is lying, she has never been to Yanxi Palace at all, which means that she may have been in that room all along.

It's just that his attention was on Zhaoyang at the time, and when he thought about it, he suddenly thought of what Zhaoyang said: "Be careful behind you." ”

Thinking back at this moment, it is true that Tang Wan'er was behind her when she appeared, and after Zhaoyang finished speaking, she turned around and saw Tang Wan'er screaming.

If this is the case, even if the person who killed Zhaoyang is not Tang Wan'er, she is the biggest suspect.

Thinking about it, Hua Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, and then said to Fang Fei: "You go back and tell Qin Guifei, don't talk about this matter for the time being, let her help check Tang Wan'er's whereabouts that day." There are so many palace guards in the palace who come and go, if she goes out, she will definitely be known. If no one watched her enter and exit the palace gate of the courtyard, it would mean that she never left the house at all. ”

"Also, because that courtyard is dead Zhaoyang, it should be completely controlled by Jin Wuwei at this moment, you let the concubine think of it, and someone will search it inside, and see if you may find a palace maid's clothes. ”

"The palace maid's clothes?" Fang Fei was suddenly a little puzzled.

Hua Zhen nodded: "Yes, you just have to tell the concubine Niangniang like this, if you don't find it, then please ask the concubine Niangniang to check again, among the palace ladies who appeared in the courtyard at the beginning, are there people who are not from Yanxi Palace, or people who are not waiting nearby." ”

Fang Fei was a smart person who immediately understood what Hua Zhen meant, and blessed her body: "The slave will return to the palace, and if there is any news, come and tell the county lord immediately." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Fang Fei. Hua Zhen said, looking at Fang Fei and nodding away.

He turned around and sat down on a stool beside him.

In his mind, he recalled the words that Zhaoyang said with his last breath at that time.

There was even a trace of doubt in my heart.

I was led by someone, that is, I walked from the long street to the courtyard next to Yanxi Palace, which is not a short time, not to mention two quarters of an hour.

But when he arrived, Zhaoyang's anger was still not extinguished, and he looked like something had just happened.

The wounds on her body alone couldn't hold up for such a long time.

If someone hadn't calculated that they would kill Zhaoyang and blame themselves, enter the palace by themselves, and appear in the long street to the small courtyard, the time would have been calculated extremely accurately.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, Zhaoyang has already had an accident, and they have thought of a way to keep the last breath of the person, and then cause her to die when she comes.

But if this is really the case, then the ability to kill Zhaoyang's person is not trivial.

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I heard a familiar voice: "Zhen'er." ”

Hua Zhen immediately raised her head, met Xiao Huaijin's gaze, looked at the worry in his eyes, and suddenly felt a slight warmth in her heart.

Li Yu personally accompanied Xiao Huaijin over, and when he saw this, he quickly ordered the yacha to open the door.

Then he stepped aside with the people.

Xiao Huaijin stepped forward quickly and took Hua Zhen into his arms, and his heart was even more distressed.

The corners of Hua Zhen's mouth raised slightly, as if as long as Xiao Huaijin was by her side, she had nothing to fear.

After a long time, he spoke: "Are you not here, do you want to hug me like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin reluctantly let go of his hand, and then looked at Hua Zhen: "What the hell is going on with all this?" Jiang Fu came over to tell me, and what he said was not clear. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen pulled Xiao Huaijin to sit down beside her, and then said softly: "I was calculated. ”

"How?"

"Today, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will summon me into the palace is a bureau. Hua Zhen said and looked at Xiao Huaijin: "When I followed the eunuch into the palace and walked to the long street, the eunuch suddenly said that he was unwell and wanted to go to make it convenient, so let me wait on the long street." Later, I looked at a woman, in addition to the palace clothes on her body, that appearance and even the hairpin ring on her head were all given to Ruoyun by me at the beginning. I couldn't see it clearly because of her back face, and when I saw her even more sneaky appearance, I became suspicious and followed. I didn't expect to follow all the way to the small courtyard next to Yanxi Palace, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhaoyang lying on the ground, and Zhaoyang seemed to have a breath left at that time, so I quickly helped her up. After only listening to one sentence telling me to be careful behind my back, Zhaoyang ran out of breath, and when I turned around, I listened to Tang Wan'er's screams, and led all the palace eunuchs over, and this is how it happened. ”

After Hua Zhen finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Huaijin to speak, paused and continued: "I guess that the eunuch has been calculating against me since the eunuch passed the decree, otherwise all this is too coincidental, if he didn't want to go to the convenience and have the will of the Queen Mother, even if I saw that palace maid, I wouldn't dare to follow him." The second is the palace maid, wearing palace clothes, but she did not comb her hair according to the rules of the palace, but combed the maids used to outside, which is too unruly in the palace. ”

Xiao Huaijin nodded: "If it weren't for such non-compliance, she wouldn't be able to attract your attention at all and let you follow." ”

Hua Zhen didn't speak, indeed, if it weren't for the palace maid's clothes being too unruly, Hua Zhen wouldn't even take a second look, and naturally she wouldn't be able to see the golden hairpin she gave to Ruoyun at the beginning. The golden hairpin was asked to be beaten according to Ruoyun Jiaoyue's name, and a total of one was given to Jiaoyue, and the other was rewarded to Ruoyun.

It was precisely by looking at the golden hairpin that Hua Zhen was curious.

Knowing that she did this on purpose, she couldn't help but want to follow up to see what was going on.

Originally, I only thought that this palace maid was deliberately trying to lead her to somewhere, but Xu Ruoyun wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhaoyang's corpse waiting behind.

Now that I think about it, I only blame myself for being too stupid to believe Ruoyun's words that she won't harm herself.

That's why I dare to follow up so without scruples.

Seeing Hua Zhen's brows frowning slightly, Xiao Huaijin was suddenly a little worried: "Don't you worry too much?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen shook her head, and then said, "I suspect that this matter has something to do with Tang Wan'er now. ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but look sideways.

"When I saw Zhaoyang at that time, my mind was full of shock, first, because of Zhaoyang's identity, and second, she was my best friend, and now she was lying in a pool of blood, and there was nothing in her mind, and she didn't look around. Just knelt on the ground to check on Zhaoyang, and when I heard Zhaoyang say to let me be careful behind my back, I looked back at Tang Wan'er and screamed. At that time, Tang Wan'er was standing at the door, and because she fell to the ground outside the threshold, no one would doubt whether she went out from the inside or came in from the outside.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that she was in the house from the beginning, and even hidden behind the door at that time. So when I went in, I didn't see her at all, and when my eyes fell on Zhaoyang, I didn't pay attention to the surroundings anymore, and Tang Wan'er came out of it at that time. The reason why Zhaoyang reminded me to be careful behind my back was maybe she saw Tang Wan'er behind me at that time, and she was worried that Tang Wan'er would be unfavorable to me, so she spoke up, and it was precisely because she opened her mouth that my attention was even more focused on her, but when she said it I could hear it clearly, Tang Wan'er had already walked outside. ”

After a pause: "This is just my current speculation, as for whether this is the case or not, there is no evidence now." At that time, Tang Wan'er explained that the reason why she left was because Zhaoyang sprained her foot, and she went to Yanxi Palace to find someone to help Zhaoyang and then went out. But just now, the palace maid beside Qin Guifei came over and said that Tang Wan'er had never been to Yanxi Palace at all. I have asked Qin Guifei to check carefully, whether Tang Wan'er has ever been out of this courtyard, and who has she been in contact with in the palace today. ”

Xiao Huaijin frowned slightly when he heard this: "I heard that when Zhaoyang came to the county lord's mansion to make trouble, it was Tang Wan'er's instigation. ”

Vera nodded.

"If this is the case, this Tang Wan'er is very suspicious. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen showed puzzlement in her eyes: "But if you really say that Tang Wan'er killed Zhaoyang, I don't believe it." ”

"Why?"

"There is one thing you may not know, the last time Zhaoyang took Tang Wan'er to the county lord's mansion to make trouble, Lu Wei and I saw it clearly, this Tang Wan'er looked at Zhaoyang's eyes, not a girl living in Prince Li's mansion, it looked more like a look of admiration. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin was suddenly shocked: "You mean that Tang Wan'er loves Zhaoyang?"

"Originally, I wasn't sure, but today, after the emperor left, when the old lady in the palace came to take away Zhaoyang's corpse, I looked at Tang Wan'er's reaction, it was true, she should like Zhaoyang. That kind of liking is not between friends, but beyond the love of men and women. The side can be concealed, these heartfelt feelings are difficult to hide, if Tang Wan'er really likes Zhaoyang, then it is even more impossible for her to attack Zhaoyang. ”

Xiao Huaijin also nodded: "If it is really as you said, it seems that it is indeed much less likely that she will attack Zhaoyang, but this is not absolute, some people are ruthless, even their own flesh and blood are willing to give up, let alone a person who is happy with themselves." Especially with identities like Zhaoyang and Tang Wan'er, she is more likely to start. ”
