Volume 2 Northern Xinjiang Journey Chapter 155 The Truth of the Past
When Li Yuejiao heard that it was Chen Sanniang, she was relieved, and hurriedly stopped Hu Rong from making a move: "Brother Hu, it's someone I know."
Somehow, she herself seemed to be afraid that someone outside would eavesdrop, and her voice was extremely low.
Hu Rong immediately withdrew the fist he was about to throw, and looked at the young woman in front of him suspiciously.
But how could her body be so similar?
Li Yuejiao also saw Chen Sanniang's current appearance clearly, and immediately gasped.
Chen Sanniang's forehead and right cheek all had freshly scabbed wounds, her clothes were dirty and messy, and her left hand included a wound cloth, but the wound cloth was already dirty, not only with an earthy smell, but also with the smell of blood, which rushed to people's noses.
"Sanniang, why did you get hurt like this?" Li Yuejiao whispered nervously.
Chen Sanniang only felt that Hu Rong was not good at looking at her, her ears listened to the movements outside, she looked at Hu Rong with the same vigilance, and smiled lightly at Li Yuejiao:
"My injuries are fine, I was still thinking of finding a chance to go to Madame's house tonight, but Madame actually came out. I couldn't wait any longer, so I ventured in."
Li Yuejiao gently pressed Hu Rong's arm to protect herself, walked to Chen Sanniang's side, pulled her to sit down, and asked while worrying about the injuries on her face:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that something big happened in Beijing?"
"Hmm." She didn't answer Li Yuejiao's question, but stared at Hu Rong vigilantly and didn't speak.
Li Yuejiao understood and said to Hu Rong: "Brother Hu, this person is also known in the world, it's okay, and I ask Brother Hu to help me guard the door, thank you."
When Hu Rong heard Li Yuejiao say this, his eyes were so firm, and after hesitating, he nodded yes and really retreated.
When the door of the private room was closed, Chen Sanniang immediately held Li Yuejiao's hand and asked her in a low voice, "Madame believes in Xue Zhen, right?"
"What?" Li Yuejiao felt that she was asking strangely.
Chen Sanniang looked into her eyes very seriously, and asked seriously, "Even though the matter of the old marquis is really suspicious, Madam still believes in Xue Zhen, right?"
Li Yuejiao stared into Chen Sanniang's eyes and didn't answer her question, just asked, "What did Master Hou do? Would you let Sanniang ask me like this?"
「…… Miss Li," Chen Sanniang solemnly changed her words, "If the girl says that you don't believe Xue Zhen, then you don't need to know those things, I can take you away, stay away from him, okay?"
Li Yuejiao was so upset by her words that she was so confused, she frowned and let go of Chen Sanniang, leaning back slightly: "Sanniang, don't scare me, what did you find out?" Besides, my father and my grandmother are both in Beijing, so where can I go?"
Chen Sanniang looked at her eyes that were still innocent, sighed sadly, and said:
"Miss Li, I just think there shouldn't be another person like me in this world."
As she spoke, she took a few pieces of paper out of her sleeve and whispered:
"Miss Li, these three letters were copied by me from the dark room of the old marquis's immortal cultivation place, and the content is really a bit terrifying, you read it, don't be afraid."
Li Yuejiao reached out to take it, but Chen Sanniang didn't let go immediately, as if to determine whether Li Yuejiao would regret it.
Li Yuejiao insisted on not letting go.
She really wanted to know, what exactly was the letter? can make Chen Sanniang so scared, and even act in a muddy manner.
Chen Sanniang sighed helplessly again and let go of the papers.
Li Yuejiao immediately opened it, only glanced at it hurriedly, and her face was already pale.
The first two letters were related to the deployment of troops in the capital city of Zhaodong, and the third letter detailed the date of the explosion in Yujing City seven years ago, and how to leave Yujing City after the fact.
Li Yuejiao only felt dizzy for a while, and it was easy to pull her eyes out of those pieces of paper, and looked at Chen Sanniang's gaze, full of doubt:
"Sanniang, these, these are ......."
She didn't dare to say the words later, but the doubt and horror in her eyes had already explained everything in her heart.
Chen Sanniang didn't blame her for her suspicions, after all, she was from Chen Guo, and these letters were copied by her, no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel cheating.
She just lowered her voice and reminded:
"Madame, look at the time, look at the date they have agreed upon." She pointed to the 16th of May on the paper and said, "Madame, remember the time of that bombing?"
Li Yuejiao forced herself to calm down, looked at that day, and finally remembered that day:
"On the tenth day of the fifth month, I remember that it was the tenth day of the fifth month, and there was a lot of movement in the armory, which affected many houses around, and I remember it very clearly." She muttered.
"Six days in advance, girl, Shan Yetang has always been meticulous and steady, and the definite day will definitely not change," Chen Sanniang explained, "So girl, if these letters are true, it means ......"
"It means that the old marquis is in a foreign country," Li Yuejiao's lips trembled, and muttered, "But it is very likely that the matter is revealed, and Xu is the first prince to know, so, so ......."
Therefore, whether it was passive or active, Chen Guoren, who was lurking in Yujing City, changed the time of the explosion and simply killed Xue Zhen's father and brother.
Therefore, Xue Zhen has investigated the murderer of his father and brother for so long, and it is very likely that he is his biological grandfather who doesn't care about family affairs and hides in the Taoist temple to "cultivate immortals".
Then, those people moved flowers and trees, and used the events of the year to stir up trouble between her and Xue Zhen, causing her to waste her time, being suspected and laughed at; made her suspicious again and guided her to deal with Xue Zhen.
She remembered her resentment towards Xue Zhen in those three years and was puzzled; remembered every quarrel with Xue Zhen; I remembered those unwilling things; also remembered that Xue Zhen took her back to Beijing when she knew that her father had an accident...
Too many emotions came to her heart, Li Yuejiao was stunned for a long time, her appetite tightened, she couldn't hold back, and when she turned her head, she retched.
Disgusting, too disgusting.
What kind of grudge does the old marquis have with his own son and grandson? What kind of hatred does she have with the old marquis? To collude with outsiders, killing people is not counted, but they are still calculated like this?
"Girl, Miss Li," Chen Sanniang hurriedly helped her, smoothed her back, paused, and finally asked what she suspected all the way, "Miss Li thinks, Xue Zhen, do you know?"
"No!" Li Yuejiao almost didn't think about it, so she blurted out and denied it, "The prince won't know, if he knows, if he knows......
If he knew, she didn't know what he would do to the old marquis, but he wouldn't do that to her.
She didn't know where she got such confidence, but she just firmly believed in Xue Zhen,
From the time he took him back to Beijing to save his father, she vaguely knew something.
Chen Sanniang lowered her eyes and seemed to be a little more relaxed: "So, it's best. Don't hide it from Mrs. Tell me, I have come all the way, and I have been entangled for a long time, and the so-called knowing people and faces do not know the heart, but if you say so, I am relieved."
"Your injury," Li Yuejiao put the three letters in her purse, looked at Chen Sanniang, and asked, "Did something happen when you were taking these letters?"
"Not when you take the letter, but—"
Chen Sanniang shook her head and slowly talked about her experience during this time.
"I stared at Hou Ye in the Taoist Temple for a while, but I didn't see anything strange, and no one contacted Old Hou Ye again. Therefore, I thought about whether to go and see the surnamed Jiang again, and see what he was doing, but before I left, I accidentally found that there was a dark room in the Taoist temple where the old marquis lived, just behind the kitchen. So I tried to go in, and found that the old marquis had hidden a lot of books in it, all of which were common books on the street, and there were no solitary books, no exceptions, or the like, and although I couldn't see any problems, I felt that there must be something wrong with those books, so I slept every night and went for three days in a row, and the secret of the books was not solved, but I found these letters."
Chen Sanniang said, pointing to the letter in her hand, and continued:
"Madame knows what I've been going through, just
It's been a long time since this happened, and I haven't experienced it personally, but I've seen the transcripts of these letters in the secret file room of Shanyetang, and at that time I thought that this person named Su Fang was Chen Guo's spy lurking in Dazhao, and Xu was also dead because of the explosion, and I didn't know until I saw these letters, it turned out that it was a correspondence between Shanyetang and the old marquis."
Li Yuejiao asked, "So this Su Fang is the code name of the old marquis?"
Chen Sanniang shook her head again: "When I came to Xue Zhen's side, when they told me about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, they said that there was once a maid who served the pen and ink by the old Hou Ye's side, and the old Hou Ye called her Zisheng, and the name given by her parents was Su Fang. It was when I saw this letter that I linked the two names."
Li Yuejiao was dizzy when she heard this, and thought about it carefully, "I haven't heard of such a person in the Hou Mansion."
"Because Zisheng, that is, Su Fang, died of a sudden illness seven years ago." Chen Sanniang said, "And I didn't find anything by the old marquis's side, so I thought about checking this Su Fang. And my wounds were suffered when I examined her."
Li Yuejiao said in surprise, "Sanniang was discovered by them?"
Chen Sanniang nodded: "Let them catch the tail, but fortunately, I escaped quickly, they don't know what I'm investigating, and fortunately, I didn't go to your father for help, but used some of my own means to find some clues, otherwise I'm afraid I would have hurt Ling Zun."
Li Yuejiao also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay...... What are the clues?"
"Su Fang and the old marquis, a little guy named Yanmo, the relationship is very good, not long after Su Fang's death, the little guy named Yanmo fell ill, and he couldn't walk after getting sick, so the old marquis exempted him from the silver, and gave him twenty taels of silver, and let him go home, but Yanmo encountered robbers on the way back to his hometown, and there were no bones," Chen Sanniang said slowly, "And three years ago, there was an old couple who led their disabled son and disfigured daughter-in-law to settle in Yu Village on the outskirts of Beijing, and that family was surnamed Su."
Li Yuejiao already understood: "It's Yanmo and Su Fang, right?"
Chen Sanniang snorted and said in a low voice:
"Why don't Madame ask for what is going on?"
