Chapter 372: Lin Die'er is dead
Mo Chen originally thought that if Xin Xing was not with King Hua, Zhuo Jie would still have a chance, at least Zhuo Jie could treat Xin Xing as well. Now it seems that Zhuo Jie has no chance.
It should be said that Zhuo Jie did not seize the opportunity. He and Yingying gave Zhuo Jie a few chances, but he couldn't completely cross that hurdle after all, worried that Xin Xing would collapse again, so he chose to go out to be an official.
"That's what the daughter-in-law said. Whether it is Xin Xing or Zhuo Jie, they have already made a choice. Whether it's a good choice or a bad choice, it's a choice."
Tang Yingying bowed: "You write to tell Zhuo Jie, let him know that Xin Xing has made a choice, lest he still have a trace of thought."
"Xin Xing's life is very good now, she doesn't need to choose Zhuojie anymore."
Mo Chen responded, quite emotional. If he didn't insist on being with his daughter-in-law at the beginning, then now his daughter-in-law belongs to someone else, not his.
So sometimes, the choice is important.
He shook his head with a smile and chatted with Tang Yingying about a light-hearted topic.
The two returned to the regent's palace, and as soon as they got out of the carriage, Quan An hurried over.
"The princess and princess are not good! Lin Die'er has been killed!"
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen's expressions changed.
"What's going on?" Tang Yingying asked calmly, "When we left the post house, Lin Die'er was fine, why was she killed in such a short time?" Didn't the Nine Cities Terracotta Division find anything abnormal?"
Quan An's voice was slightly fast: "The Nine Cities Terracotta Division didn't notice anything unusual at all. The princess didn't know that after Lin Die'er was thrown into the room, the doctor went to see her, and Qian Shangshu and the others didn't care about her life or death, and they ......
He looked sarcastic and cold: "Qian Shangshu and others are discussing, using Lin Die'er's life in exchange for benefits, so as to calculate my Western Dynasty."
How did Qian Shangshu and the others know that from the day they went to the peace talks, the prince arranged for the most elite secret guards to go over and keep an eye on Qian Shangshu and the others' every move.
Tang Yingying asked again, "Did they do it by Qian Shangshu?"
Quan An said he was unsure: "Lin Die'er was killed with a knife. If it weren't for the medicine, no one in the inn would have known that she had been killed."
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen knew very well that this was not simple: "Let's go, let's take a look at the post house!"
The couple took Quan An to the post house as fast as possible.
At this time, there are still many people watching the excitement in front of the post house, and there are many discussions.
"I heard that Lin Die'er was killed. If you want me to say, she deserves to die. This kind of woman is shameless and shameless, and she is disgusting when she lives."
"Lin Die'er deserves to die, but she died in the post house, and Liang Guo will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. This woman is really a scourge, she kept making trouble during her lifetime, and when she died, she made my western dynasty unpeaceful."
What Tang Yingying and Mo Chen were most worried about was that Liang Guo took the opportunity to make trouble, Liang Guo himself was uneasy and kind, and now that there is such a good opportunity, Liang Guo will not let it go.
Next, there will be a tough battle to be fought.
As soon as the couple entered the post house, they saw Qian Shangshu and others crying and grabbing the ground.
"Miss Lin was killed, the Western Dynasty must give me Liang Guo an explanation, otherwise my Liang Guo will not give up."
"Miss Lin is at fault, but she won't die of her crimes."
Tang Yingying listened extremely impatiently: "Are you finished? Hearing your noise again, I'll give you a taste of a month of speechlessness. Shut up!"
Qian Shangshu and others knew that Tang Yingying was good at medical poison, and when they heard the words, they dared to cry wolves.
Qian Shangshu, as a representative, saluted Tang Yingying, with a sad face: "Princess Regent, it's really ......."
"You put away your false tears first, I look disgusting." Tang Yingying interrupted him impatiently: "I know exactly what the relationship between you people and Lin Die'er is, now you can't afford to put it here anymore, and it's not a sack."
Qian Shangshu and the others' faces were not good-looking for a moment, and they couldn't help Tang Yingying, so they had to stop pretending to be sad, sad and angry.
Qian Shangshu took a deep breath: "Princess Regent, no matter what, Miss Lin was killed in the Western Dynasty
The capital of the dynasty has to give me an explanation for Liang Guo."
Tang Yingying crossed her arms and said coldly: "Before you ask me to give an explanation from the Western Dynasty, you must first solve the matter of Lin Die'er's substitution, and I will wait for your Liang Guo's statement in the Western Dynasty."
After a pause, she said again: "Don't tell me anything, this has nothing to do with Liang Guo, it was Lin Die'er alone, and what is more important to solve Lin Die'er's murder now."
"You have to understand that in the territory of my Western Dynasty, the reputation of my Western Dynasty is more important. Lin Die'er dares to do something about a substitute marriage, do you dare to say that there is no Liang Guo's instructions?"
Qian Shangshu said angrily, "Princess Regent, this is slander! I, Liang Guo, are sincere in coming to the peace talks......
"Sincerely?" Tang Yingying showed sarcasm: "Okay, this kind of thing of yours will deceive a one- or two-year-old child. You ask someone on the street, don't you believe that you Liang Guo is sincere in coming to the peace talks."
Qian Shangshu hated Tang Yingying more and more, the Western Dynasty really had no rules, and let a woman talk about these big things here. But this is a good thing for Liang Guo, Liang Guo can't wait for the Western Dynasty to be in chaos, so that Liang Guo has a chance.
"Princess Regent, now we're talking about Miss Lin's murder." He pulled the topic back aggrievedly.
Tang Yingying: "Didn't I just say that? Lin Die'er's substitution for marriage, when will you Liang Guo give me an explanation for the Western Dynasty, and when will my Western Dynasty solve the matter of Lin Die'er's murder."
"You have to understand one thing, my Western Dynasty is not afraid of war with your Liang State, but I don't know if your Liang State has the courage to go to war."
Mo Chen took over the conversation: "My Western Dynasty is ready for war, and I can attack the Liang State at any time."
Qian Shangshu's expression was shocked, and he said again and again: "Please two Mingjian, my Liang State has no idea of going to war, and I really want to talk about peace."
The current Liang State does not dare to attack the Western Dynasty, first, the Liang State is not unified and wants to start a war, and the second is that the strength of the Western Dynasty is there, and there are elite generals.
Tang Yingying said twice: "Okay, Qian Shangshu is talking about this here. I'll give you two days, and if you can't give me a satisfactory answer to the Western Dynasty within two days, then I'll come according to my own rules."
Qian Shangshu and the others never thought that it would be such a development, they thought that they could use Lin Die'er's death to blackmail the Western Dynasty, so that they could be regarded as completing the task assigned by His Majesty.
Who knows, things have turned out like this.
"Princess Regent, Miss Lin was killed...... Qian Shangshu's words were interrupted by Tang Yingying raising his hand.
"Qian Shangshu, Lin Die'er's murder, I will find out in the Western Dynasty."
Speaking of this, it would be bad for Qian Shangshu to continue: "...... Yes."
In this matter, they have to discuss it again, and they must use Lin Die'er's death to get the benefits they want.
Tang Yingying didn't care about him anymore, covered her lips and whispered to Mo Chen: "It doesn't look like Qian Shangshu did it."
Mo Chen whispered, "It's hard to say for the time being."
Tang Yingying also understood this, thinking about who would kill Lin Die'er and whether she wanted to provoke a dispute between the two countries.
About two quarters of an hour later, Qi Zuo and Shangshu of the Criminal Department came out of Lin Die'er's room and walked in front of Mo Chen and his wife.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Regent, Princess Regent."
Mo Chen snorted, "How's the situation?"
The secretary of the criminal department signaled to say first.
He bent over, slightly cramped and humble: "Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, judging from the autopsy, Miss Lin was covered by someone from behind and cut her throat with a knife, but she did not struggle."
"There are no signs of drug in Miss Lin's stomach, mouth and throat. In addition, Miss Lin died probably more than an hour ago."
Mo Chen bowed his head: "It's hard work."
He said no.
The criminal department Shangshu continued, "The ministers checked the room where Miss Lin lived and found that there was something wrong with the incense. The incense burner has been cleaned, perhaps because the other party cleaned it in a hurry, and there is a little residue in the incense burner."
"Please take a look at it, the object left in the incense burner is a special kind of incense that can make people fall asleep for a very short time
In the past, it was difficult to wake up after sleeping, which is why Miss Lin did not struggle at all before she died."
Mo Chen: "Have you asked everyone in the inn?"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Except for Qian Shangshu and others who refused to cooperate, the rest of the people have already asked. For the time being, no one has entered Miss Lin's room except the doctor."
"Originally, Miss Lin was still wailing in pain at first, but then she stopped wailing, and the people in the post house were a lot more relaxed, and no one cared about it." qs
Mo Chen turned his head to look at Qian Shangshu and the others, his slightly cold eyes mixed with displeasure: "Qian Shangshu and the others refuse to cooperate?"
Qian Shangshu and the others dared to argue with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, but they didn't dare to look at Mo Chen's eyes: "Misunderstanding, His Royal Highness the Regent, this is a misunderstanding. We're not refusing to cooperate, we're wondering if there's anything missing."
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department showed disdain: "Cowardice!"
When Qian Shangshu and the others faced him just now, they didn't look like cowards, and they didn't shout for the Western Dynasty to give an explanation. Now facing the regent, Qian Shangshu and others are intimidated.
Qian Shangshu and the others' faces turned red and white, which was really exciting.
Tang Yingying motioned to Mo Chen to take a look at the Criminal Department Shangshu, this Criminal Department Shangshu is okay, much better than the previous Criminal Department Shangshu.
Yes, the current criminal department secretary is not the previous one, and the previous criminal department secretary was swept to the end because he made too many mistakes.
Mo Chen nodded in understanding, and asked Qian Shangshu and the others, "This king wants to know who has entered Lin Die'er's room, or has found anything unusual. If you conceal anything, and find out afterwards, this king will do according to the law of the Western Dynasty."
Qian Shangshu and the others looked at each other and said no.
"We discussed how to apologize to the Western Dynasty, and then we went back to our rooms. Except for hearing Lin Die'er's screams, I didn't hear any other sounds."
"No one has ever entered Lin Die'er's room. We can't hide from her, so how can we go to her room."
Mo Chen couldn't see that these people didn't tell the truth, but he didn't expose it: "From now on, Qian Shangshu, you are not allowed to leave the post house for half a step. When the case is over, you will be able to come and go as you please."
