He said: "I know that you are the backbone, you are the backbone of the main body, and they will be convinced by Yinhai, and everything in the secret has been arranged well before entering Beijing." In that case, you won't be able to let me get into trouble. ”

Hengyu almost rolled his eyes: "You have a good plan to win thousands of miles away, and I have to work hard for you, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." ”

But there was a little ironing in his heart - he trusted her so much, and so 'naturally' put his safety in her hands.

Xiao Mu smiled and rubbed the top of her head: "Yes, I have worked hard for you." During the day, my mother also said, "You saved my life again." ”

"If you count it now, it can't be regarded as my rescue......

"Count, why don't you count."

"Then I'll have to think about how to repay the favor?"

"Think slowly, don't rush."

“……”

The soft night breeze passed through the long pavilion, scattering the low laughter of the two people.

……

The next day, Hengyu got up as usual and prepared to go to the East Palace to teach.

The carriage at home broke down, and Ji Nanxian, who was also about to enter the palace, rubbed his sister's carriage, and saw her yawning in the car, and couldn't help asking: "What, this is last night to be a thief?" ”

Cuihuai was inexplicably weak when he heard this, and lowered his head.

You can't be a thief, but you see that the "thief" is gone......

"I dreamed a lot at night, and I couldn't sleep well." Hengyu lied and did not change his face.

"Brother knows that you are worried about Xiao Hou, and now that he is out of danger, it is said that you should be able to sleep well." Regarding his sister's concern about allies, Ji Nanxian understands very well, it is normal for people to be human, and he is no exception.

When he talked about this matter at this time, his tone was much more relaxed than these days: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said yesterday that since Xiao Jie's envoy returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the matter can be regarded as settled. ”

When Heng Yu heard this, he asked, "How did the sage react yesterday?" ”

"Naturally, Long Yan was furious...... Ji Nanxian lowered his voice and said, "According to the palace people in the dormitory, it is the first time that they have seen the saint be so angry with Lord Jiang...... But Jiang Zhengfu has some skills in the end, and I don't know how to appease the Sacred Heart, but in the end he was not punished worth mentioning. ”

On the surface, he didn't do anything wrong, he just handled it impartially. Even if the saint wanted to be punished, he could not think of a suitable crime. Heng Yu said.

Ji Nanxian nodded and sighed: "So isn't this just angry...... From daytime to dusk, the medical officers never left the dormitory, and the 'immortal master' never left an inch. ”

Heng Yu frowned slightly: "The saint seems to be very trusting of that Puzhen Immortal Master now?" ”

"Yes, I've been taking pills every day lately...... The mind seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. ”

This naturally does not bode well.

But at this juncture, the situation of the saint is here, and no one dares to discuss anything.

As the carriage crossed the long street, it slowed down.

There was a noisy crowd outside the car window, and Hengyu looked out through the car window, only to see many Dali Temple officials searching inside and outside the shops in the four streets.

Looking not far away, in the narrow alleys leading to the houses, there are also official figures.

"This formation is big enough......," Ji Nanxian said, "I searched like this early in the morning, I can't tell if I can really find any clues." ”

"It's not too late." Hengyu seems to be referring to the authentic.

The bigger the formation, the more difficult it is for the people behind the scenes to sit still, and maybe they will be able to reveal some flaws.

But what Heng Yu didn't expect was that this "flaw" would come so quickly and so thoroughly-

In the afternoon of the same day, when she was leaving the palace, when she was walking through a path, she happened to hear a palace person whispering: "Have you heard, the real murderer who murdered the king of Hedong has been caught!" ”

"According to this, it's really not the Marquis of Dingbei?"

"The Marquis of Dingbei was framed by someone...... The real murderer is someone else......"

"Shh......h Someone's coming. ”

The little eunuch tugged at his companion's sleeve, and the two immediately lowered their heads to the side.

Heng Yu's heart was shaken when she heard it, and she wanted to ask the little eunuch, "Who is the other person", but seeing that the two of them were already silent, she didn't speak.

It is taboo to discuss court affairs in the palace, and if she is not careful, she will harm others and herself, she wants to inquire about the news, and she can inquire everywhere out of the palace gate-

Seeing that the girl and the envoy who was obviously a first-class palace maid walked away, the two little eunuchs who were already in a cold sweat breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to say more, and left here quickly.

Seeing that Hengyu didn't say more than half a word, his face was as usual, and he didn't say much when he saw Yue's heart.

After leaving the palace gate, getting into the carriage and just driving out of the range of the imperial city, Heng Yu instructed through the curtain: "Uncle Ping, find a teahouse nearby, the more lively the better." ”

It would take more than half an hour to get home, and she wanted to know a little bit about it.

Sure enough, the news has been spread.

But at first glance, it sounded quite chaotic, and it was difficult to figure it out, until a dry voice asked, "The murderer who killed the king of Hedong has really been caught?" ”

Hengyu heard the sound and looked over-

I saw that Cheng Ping didn't know when he squeezed into the middle of the table where he talked the most, and distributed the melon seeds in his hand to the people around him.

Hengyu was silent when he saw this, and there were more and more surprises on Uncle Ping.

"Brother, you are asking the right person, I saw with my own eyes that the official sent someone to catch him!" The man who took Cheng Ping's melon seeds said, "It's on Suzaku Street!" ”

"Caught on the street?" Cheng Ping frowned and asked.

Why doesn't this murderer sound like a high-level feeling?

"The officials searched very carefully, and anyone who passed by as long as it was a man was stopped and searched, and when he was about to search that person, he wanted to sneak away, which alarmed the officials!"

"Why did he run?" Cheng Ping asked again.

The most popular among the talkers was the curious person, and the man said more and more vigorously: "Because he has a knife wound on his body, which was left by the fight with the king of Hedong that night!" Under the weakness of the heart, I dare not let people search my body! And this person is really extraordinary, at that time, I saw more than a dozen officials surround me, and I couldn't stop him for a while...... Later, it alarmed the nearby guards, and with the combined efforts, they barely took down the people! ”

After arresting this man, the official went to his house to search, and under this search, he really found the blade of the crime that night, and the traces of burning bloody clothes! All the clues are right! ”

"After this person was escorted to Dali Temple, the ironclad evidence is current, and he is happy to admit it!"

"According to this, this person also personally participated in the assassination of the king of Hedong that night, and he is really the mastermind?" Cheng Ping has a keen mind: "Isn't it really working for others?" ”

"It's the mastermind, he hates the king of Hedong very much, so naturally he wants to ......" The man said this, raised his hand and made a movement to wipe his neck, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, you have to personally kill the enemy to resolve the hatred." ”

Cheng Ping narrowed his eyes: "Enemy? ”

"That's right, this person is not an ordinary person, but General Mingwei who lives in Anshanfang!"

General Mingwei?

Heng Yu frowned subconsciously - which General Mingwei?

Although General Mingwei is a fourth-grade officer, he is a military officer and has no real position, and most of them are awarded according to their own military merits or the military merits of their father and son, and there is more than one person.

Hengyu put down the teacup and got up to leave.

Cheng Ping immediately followed.

"Huh! Dude, I'm not done yet! ”

He deliberately put the most wonderful cause and effect in the final finale, how could this old brother leave when he heard the most urgent!

I don't want to know what is the deep hatred between General Mingwei and the King of Hedong?

The people who listened to the excitement left, and the people who stayed behind to talk about the excitement were itching.

As far as Hengyu is concerned, since this matter has been spread, the inside story of this so-called "enemy" is not so important - what matters now is that this person is really the real mastermind behind the scenes?

Or is it just a scapegoat that has been pushed out?!

And scapegoats, after admitting their guilt, often face the same fate -

But she is destined to not be able to enter Dali Temple.

Hengyu got into the carriage, asked Cuihuai to take out a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a few words on the letterhead, folded it, and handed it out of the carriage: "Uncle Lao Ping will go to the Hou Mansion again." ”

Cheng Ping didn't turn his head around, and drove with one hand and took it with the other.

When the carriage arrived at the long street near the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Hengyu took Cuihuai out of the carriage and went to visit the study and fat powder shop.

Cheng Ping dodged into a long alley, avoiding the sight of pedestrians, and came to the back wall of the Dingbei Hou Mansion with a familiar car.

Hengyu estimated that the hour was almost up, so he walked back with Cuihuai, who was carrying a lot of boxes in his hand.

"Xiao Hou is not in the mansion." When she got into the car, Cheng Ping, who had already turned back, whispered: "Two quarters of an hour ago, I went to Dali Temple." ”

Heng Yu bowed slightly.

Since he went to Dali Temple, it can be seen that he has already thought of it, so it makes no difference whether her letter is delivered or not.

When Hengyu returned home, her sister and sister-in-law were also discussing the matter.

"This general Mingwei is over forty years old, but he has not yet married a wife...... Only more than ten years ago, he adopted an orphan on the road to triumph as a righteous son, but this child was beaten to death by the king of Hedong seven years ago, and then threw his body into the river, and it took a long time to find ......"

The general also tried to seek justice, but the stalemate lasted for a long time, and Dali Temple finally only pushed a royal servant to take the blame, and soon the king of Hedong went to Hedong with his father...... After seven years, I returned to Beijing again. ”

"It's about the old grudge that can't be eliminated...... Ning Yu said, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yu gritted his teeth and said, "This King of Hedong really deserves it!" ”

Heng Yu thought thoughtfully: "It seems that this motive is very convincing......"

"Xiao Yu'er, don't you believe this?" Ning Yu asked softly.

Hengyu shook his head: "I believe it." ”

The people of Dali Temple are not fools, as the highest judicial place in the past, as long as they have a heart, they will not be easily deceived by others-

There was a motive.

Traces of the blades and bloody clothes were also found.

And this person is a four-rank military general, and he must have a powerful old department under him, these people can live in the capital openly and honestly on weekdays, and they don't have to hide if something happens - therefore, the means and conditions are also available.

And all of the above cannot be faked temporarily.

So, she believed, had to believe.

But—

"People may indeed have been killed by him, but this does not mean that there must be no other mastermind behind him...... Heng Yu pondered: "Besides, the timing of his exposure is too coincidental, as if he is in a hurry to end this matter, so as not to make this fire burn even bigger, and then burn to people who should not be burned." ”

"That's right." Gu Tingnan thought for a while and said, "And the blind people can see it before this case, and it is clearly for Xiao Hou!" But it is said that this person's testimony is 'just to pull a more credible substitute for the ghost', but it seems that he splashed dirty water on Xiao Hou on an improvised basis......"

Heng Yu nodded: "Yes, this is very important, so I decided that there must be another mastermind behind this person." ”

She condensed and said: "One wants the king of Hedong to die, the other wants to use the death of the king of Hedong to frame Xiao Mu, and use Jiang Zhengfu to divide the relationship between Lu Longjun and the imperial court, which is already on the verge of danger...... And if the plan fails, there is also the former to bear all the charges, and the latter's entire plan, which can be called progressive, attacked, retreated, and defended, is really 'extremely clever'. ”

The initial framing methods of this case seemed to be "superficial and clumsy", and the two words slander were almost written on the face, but at this point, the layers of cocoons were peeled off, and it can be seen that the other party is doing it step by step.

Ning Yu broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Such a scheming method, and hiding it so deeply...... Who is this person? ”

She also had a secret talk with her sister, and at first she suspected that it was Jiang Zhengfu's design, but after the three sessions yesterday, this speculation was no longer valid.

It's not Jiang Zhengfu, and it can't be a saint today...... Who would that be?

"This General Mingwei must have the answer in his heart." Yu said: "If you can pry his mouth open, let him hide some demons and monsters behind him, there will be nothing to hide!" ”

Hengyu nodded.

Yes, just pry open this person's mouth, and the mastermind behind the scenes, who has been stirring up the storm in the shadows, can be revealed-

But the other party acted so carefully, I'm afraid this matter will not go well......

However, since Xiao Mu has already rushed over, he will wait for the news now.

Hengyu looked out the window at the golden crow that was slowly sliding from the sky.

In the prison of Dali Temple, where there is no day, day and night, time seems to be frozen for a long time here.

The man in prison uniform with a messy beard lowered his head and closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Tell your master for me, so that he must cherish it...... I also wish that his wish will be fulfilled as soon as possible. ”

An ordinary jailer standing in front of him bowed slightly, then withdrew from the cell.

……

"I've seen Xiao Jie's envoy!"

In the front hall of Dali Temple, the jailer was saluting Xiao Mu, and his eyes were a little panicked.

It is said that he should have little chance of knowing Xiao Jie, but who made Xiao Jiezhi an acquaintance......

Previously, everyone privately said that Xiao Jie's envoy was going to end, but now the situation has changed in a blink of an eye!

Now that everyone is privately feeling that they are going to finish, he is also secretly introspecting - was it really louder to speak to Xiao Jie's envoy before?

"You Lao sent a message to Du Shaoqing, and said that Ben Hou wanted to see Gu Changwu, who was arrested today." Xiao Mu made it clear what he meant.

Gu Changwu is the general Mingwei.

The jailer didn't dare to refuse: "Yes, the villain will go to find Du Shaoqing!" Xiao Jie, please sit in the front hall for a while! ”

"No need."

At this time, a voice came from behind Xiao Mu.
