Shanwei and Cheng E knew the seriousness of the situation, and naturally advocated a thorough investigation of the case. However, they really can't look it up now. But where there are clues, the parties are dead! How can I check this?

Now Lin Miao is left. However, no matter how she interrogated, Lin Miao insisted that she was the manipulator behind the scenes.

Shanwei went to the haunted house again, and verified with Tu Shanqing what kind of cultivation the two people who came to see her that day were? Tu Shanqing was very sure that the cultivation of those two people had not reached the eighth layer of the Immortal Rank.

This is basically the same as the cultivation of the lieutenant general and the adjutant explained by Lin Miao.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the two black-clothed masked people artificially suppressed Xiu Wei and deceived Tu Shanqing.

However, this is only a speculation and is not supported by evidence.

Zhou Zheng also became hesitant, wondering if he was thinking too much? Perhaps, it was Lin Miao who planned the whole incident!

As for the suspicion of Murong Huang and Qilinzi, it can only be limited to speculation. Vanilla, the key witness, is dead, and there is no indication that Murong Huang and Qilinzi were involved in the incident between Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai.

It seems that the case has been cleared, but in fact, it is still full of fog!

In order to fulfill his promise to Lin Miao, he confirmed the fact that Lin Miao borrowed a knife to kill people. Zhou Zheng cooperated very well with Lin Miao to act in a play.

Under Lin Miao's identification, the Legal Punishment Division and the City Protector found Zhou Zheng, the true monarch of the Legal Punishment Division, who had been missing for many days, in a vacant courtyard in the north of the city.

He was locked up in a secret room, covered in bruises. He was dying when he was rescued.

According to Lin Miao's confession, he wanted to kill Zhou Zheng with the help of the haunted house, but Zhou Zheng finally escaped from the ghost king. At that time, Zhou Zheng was seriously injured, and Lin Miao, who had been guarding outside, took advantage of his unpreparedness to catch Zhou Zheng and imprisoned him in the courtyard where he was idle.

As for why Zhou Zheng was not killed immediately, it was because Lin Miao wanted to control Zhou Zheng, so as to control the entire Law and Punishment Mansion.

This incident caused a sensation throughout Jiaxiang City.

Lin Shi sent Murong Huang to visit Zhou Zheng as soon as possible, and came to the door to ask for guilt. Lin Shi asked Murong Huang to tell Zhou Zheng that he had no way to teach his son, so Lin Miao broke into this catastrophe! The family has family rules, the state has national laws, and Lin Shi has made a clear statement, but Lin Miao is dealt with according to law by the law and punishment department, and the Qilin clan fully supports it!

Hearing this news, Lin Miao was relieved. His guess was right, his father really abandoned him! Just like Long Hai at that time abandoned Long Fei without licking the calf!

He prayed silently in his heart, only begging not to be in the emperor's house again in the next life!

Zhou Zheng will definitely not make his own decisions about this matter. Instead, let Cheng E report to the division master Wen Ruyuan.

Wen Ruyuan was also shocked! Within a few days, a warrant was issued to assassinate a senior official of the Department of Law and Punishment, and he should be punished according to the law!

At the same time, Wen Ruyuan wrote another letter to Lin Shi. The exact content of Zhou Zheng is unknown. However, the news from Xiangyun Palace that Lin Shi completely obeyed the judgment of the Law and Punishment Division, and there was no objection!

On the day of the execution, there was a sea of people outside the execution ground, and almost 10,000 people in Jiaxiang City were empty, and everyone rushed over to see the excitement.

Lin Miao, who had already calmly gone to death, suddenly knelt down before the execution and thanked Zhou Zheng deeply. He thanked Zhou Zheng from the bottom of his heart! With Zhou Zheng's help, he was able to save Concubine Zhai's life with his own life, and at the same time, he also preserved the reputation of the royal family. Lin Miao is very content! Death is also blind!

However, many times, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes!

Two days after Lin Miao's death, rumors began to spread that the reason why Lin Miao wanted to assassinate Zhou Zheng was because Zhou Zheng had evidence of Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai's adultery, and Lin Miao killed Zhou precisely to kill people. The reason why Zhou Zheng has not been killed is because Zhou Zheng hid the evidence, and Lin Miao has been tortured and interrogated, trying to find the evidence and destroy it together.

Even in order to prove that the rumors were true, there were people with a heart who picked up the case of vanilla, saying that vanilla had seen Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai Lua

lu

, and got the evidence to find Zhou Zheng. After Zhou Zheng was imprisoned by Lin Miao, Vanilla lost her shelter and was found and killed by Lin Miao.

This rumor began to spread in private, and later it intensified, and everyone in Jiaxiang City knew about it.

On this day, knowing that Zhou Zheng's body had recovered, Lin Shi invited Zhou Zheng into Xiangyun Palace as soon as possible.

"Zhou Zheng, let's talk about it directly," Lin Shi got straight to the point, "Tell me, are the rumors in the market true or false now?" Why did Lin Miao assassinate you? Do you really have Lin Miao's handle in your hands? ”

In fact, at the moment when the rumors arose, Zhou Zheng already knew that this was the real person behind the scenes.

Vanilla's case, except for Zhou Zheng, Shanwei and Cheng E, as well as Vanilla's sister Xianghua, no one in the Legal Punishment Department knows about it at all, let alone outsiders!

Zhou Zheng dared to guarantee that he would be kind and Cheng E would definitely not leak this case! Xianghua is now protected in secret, and it is impossible to talk nonsense. The only person who can know about this, and be so detailed, can only be the person behind the layout and design!

It seems that Zhou Zheng's analysis of the three of them is right! There are indeed people who are impatient to publicize this matter, thus forcing Lin Shi to take the initiative to abdicate.

Originally, the plan of the people behind the scenes was to make the matter public through the hands of the Judicial Division. However, Zhou Zheng did not fulfill his wishes.

Therefore, the person behind the scenes couldn't sit still, so he simply spread the matter everywhere in the form of rumors, forcing Zhou Zheng to face it head-on.

However, in this way, it also gave Zhou Zheng the opportunity to catch the fox tail of the person behind the scenes. He asked Cheng E to send someone to secretly arrest several people who deliberately spread rumors, and find the source of the rumors.

However, Zhou Zheng still underestimated the strength of the people behind the scenes. Those few people who spread rumors are not small characters, but real dead soldiers. When he saw the priests rounding up, he immediately fought desperately, and then, seeing that he couldn't get out, he simply died with all the priests.

The Department of Punishment and Punishment paid a heavy price, but not even a single one was caught.

In the face of Linshi's questioning, Zhou Zheng was prepared.

He smiled slightly, "Demon King, do you believe these rumors?" ”

Lin Shi was slightly stunned, "Old man, naturally I don't believe it!" However, now rumors are flying all over the sky, which has affected the reputation of the royal family! I have to know the truth to put the rumors down as soon as possible! ”

"Returning to the Demon King, there is no evidence of the so-called Lin Miao's handle in his hands. Lin Miao has already surrendered to the law, why should I do anything more? ”

"So, what's the deal with that one called vanilla? She is a maid in Lin Miao's mansion, why did Lin Miao kill her? ”

"Because, she had a love affair with Lin Miao, and she forced Lin Miao to divorce their eldest lady and marry her as a wife."

"She's so self-conscious? However, what capital does she have to force Lin Miao? "Lin Shi is not a fool, and he will not be deceived by Zhou Zheng's few words.

"Because, Lin Miao plans to kill you so that he can sit on the throne of the patriarch as soon as possible, and then take over the throne of the demon king logically. This incident made Vanilla overhear. ”

"What? No way! Lin Miao is my only son, after I die, the throne of the demon king will be his, why did he do this? ”

"No offense. This matter was originally a family matter of the demon king, so I shouldn't say much about it. However, during the interrogation, Lin Miao said that you don't trust him anymore. He is afraid that you will abandon him as a pawn like Long Hai sacrificed Long Fei. Perhaps, this is his motive for planning to kill you! ”

Lin Shiliang was silent for a long time. His own mind is best known only to his own heart.

Half a day later, Lin Shi spoke again, "Are you sure that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Zhai?" ”

"Not sure under it! Killing Vanilla and assassinating herself, Lin Miao did confess all her guilt. However, Lin Miao did not mention Concubine Zhai. I don't know how such rumors can come out? ”

"This king heard that Vanilla's sister Xianghua is still being detained by the Law and Punishment Division, why is this?"

"Return to the Demon King, not seizure. is worried that Lin Miao and her henchmen have not been caught, and they are afraid that they will find Xianghua to vent their anger. Of course, this is also Xianghua's own request, let's keep her safe for the time being. ”

"Zhou Zheng, can you bring her and let the old man ask her a few questions?"

"What's so hard about that? Next, I'll go back and bring her to the Demon King. ”

"Don't bother with the true monarch, you just send one of your subordinates over. Besides, the old man still has a lot of things he wants to talk about with Zhenjun. ”

Zhou Zheng naturally understood that this was Lin Shi's concern that he and Xianghua would make offerings. Zhou Zheng saw through it without saying anything, and called one of the officials who followed him in front of Lin Shi, and returned to the law and punishment department to bring fragrant flowers to see the demon king.

Zhou Zheng was not worried, he had already guessed that Yilinshi was suspicious, and he would definitely ask Xianghua for clarification. Therefore, he had already explained to Xianghua what to say after she met Lin Shi.

Zhou Zheng knew that if this scandal came out, Lin Shi would definitely have no shame to sit in the position of the demon king again, and he would choose to abdicate. After that, the struggle for power will also cause chaos among the Qilin clan.

And these are really what Zhou Zheng is happy to see. Such a scene is extremely conducive to the rise of Mei Yu.

In that case, why did Zhou Zheng still hide the scandal of Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai? Could it be that he just made a promise to Lin Miao?

Of course not! Or rather, not all!

Zhou Zheng did this, mainly to force the people behind the scenes to show his feet, and at the same time try his catties. This person will definitely be Mei Yu's fierce rival in the future, and he must figure out what his strength is!

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can make a fool of oneself!

After a while, the fragrant flowers were brought.

"Xianghua, I heard that Vanilla is your own sister?"

"Yes."

"Did your sister ever give you anything special? Especially when she was being hunted down, did she look for you? ”

Xianghua suddenly burst into tears, "Demon King, can you make the decision for my sister?" ”

Xianghua's sudden words startled Zhou Zheng. Xianghua promised to be good before, how could she suddenly turn back?

"This king will call the shots for you! What do you just say! ”

"Can the Demon King forgive me for my sins and prevent others from killing me?"

"Good! This king forgives you innocence! And keep you safe! You say! ”

"Demon King, the folk girl still has a request, can you find a few adults?"

Lin Shi was suspicious, "Which adult do you want to find?" ”

"The people don't know, the bigger the better." While Xianghua said this, she also glanced at Zhou Zheng in horror.

Lin Shi immediately thought that maybe Zhou Zheng had threatened Vanilla and taught her a set of rhetoric, and now Vanilla wanted to tell the truth, afraid that Zhou Zheng would punish her. At the same time, Lin Shi felt a pang in his heart, thinking to himself, I was afraid that this woman would be more worried about being killed by herself after telling the truth, so she deliberately pulled a few more people to save her life!

The reason why Lin Shi summoned Zhou Zheng alone was because he was afraid that if the rumors were true, it would be really unfavorable to him, and he did not want his family ugliness to be publicized. However, if he is not allowed to understand the truth, he will be stuck in his throat, and he will not be able to sleep well!

In the past few years, he has been very fond of Concubine Zhai, and he has indeed moved sincerely. If you can't figure out whether she is loyal to herself, Lin Shi won't be able to live in peace for a day!

"Good. Come on, Xuan Murong Huang, Qilinzi, and pumice stone enter the hall! Lin Shi finally made up his mind to hear what the truth was! All three of them are his henchmen, and if there is really something unfavorable to him, he can also take remedial measures in time.

This made Zhou Zheng very embarrassed. If he proposes to resign now, it is equivalent to not confessing to himself, knowing that the rumors are true but has been lying here. But if you don't leave, the following scene will end very badly, and maybe your life will be in danger.

Just when Zhou Zheng was in a dilemma, Murong Huang and Pushi walked into the main hall. The two of them happened to have something to report to the demon king, so they were waiting outside the main hall, and Tingxuan immediately walked in.

After a while, the unicorns who came from the house also hurried to the main hall.

"Xianghua, can you say it now?"

"Demon King, the sister of the people's daughter was killed by the eldest prince when she saw the eldest prince and Concubine Zhai doing those unbearable things together!"

Although he had been mentally prepared, Lin Shi still felt that his heart was blocked.

"You, tell me more!"

Xianghua 1510 started from the first time Concubine Zhai went to Lin Miao's house as a guest, and she had an indecent relationship with Lin Miao, saying that Lin Miao forced Vanilla to be his inside line, every time Concubine Zhai came to the house, Vanilla put phantom medicine in the wine to fascinate Lin Miao's lady, and then, Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai went to do good things. Later, Vanilla couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience and planned to tell Lin Miao's lady about it, but after Lin Miao found out, she was killed and killed!

Xianghua said in detail, and even Concubine Zhai went to Lin Miao's Mansion several times to say it clearly.

Lin Shi only felt that the world was spinning, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He still underestimated his feelings for Concubine Zhai!

"You, why did you lie to me?" Lin Shi pointed at Zhou Zheng viciously.

At this time, Zhou Zheng was calm.

He shook his head, "I don't know that!" ”

After that, he looked at Xianghua kindly, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”

Xianghua couldn't help but fight a cold war. He had already sensed Zhou Zheng's killing intent. She hurriedly kowtowed to Linshi.

"Demon King, the people's girl deceived the true monarch, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that his official is small, and he can't make decisions for the people's daughter!"

The blood was spat out, but Lin Shi was much more conscious.

"Xianghua, you said that these are all things that Vanilla told you? Is there any real evidence? "Lin Shi is not confused. In case, Xianghua was instructed by others, wouldn't she become the wronged leader?

"Yes, there is a Jinpa given to the eldest prince by Concubine Zhai to testify."

This time, Zhou Zheng was shocked! That Jinpa is obviously kept in the Department of Law and Punishment, how can it appear on Xianghua?

However, when he turned his head and thought about it, Zhou Zheng instantly understood the reason.

There are two pieces of Jinpa, one is real, and the fragrant flowers have never been taken out. Another piece is an imitation, and the fragrant flower was handed over to the Department of Law and Punishment.

At that time, Zhou Zheng was focused on the case itself, so naturally he had no time to distinguish the truth of Jinpa. Besides, he was kind to a few people, and no one would have thought that the Jinpa as evidence would be an imitation!

They were all deceived by Xianghua! Fragrant flowers, like vanilla, are all chess pieces arranged by the person behind the scenes!

Looking at the Jinpa in his hand, especially when he saw the word "Miao", Lin Shi couldn't bear it anymore and fainted to death on the throne!
