Chapter 200: Confirmation (2nd Update)
Su Xing was helpless, "Don't be too big-hearted, the game between the two countries, or the game of the three countries, is easy to dodge and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. Especially the Southern Chu Kingdom is not the king of Southern Chu who has the final say, and the forces of all parties in Southern Chu are eyeing each other, so you must always be careful."
Su Rong nodded, "Okay, okay, I know!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have entered Beijing to cooperate with the prince, and lived in the princess's mansion, and when the princess suspected my identity, I had told the truth, and now I live in this Shen mansion. Isn't this all about finding a backer for yourself?"
She leaned back, leaned lazily against the back of the chair and crossed her legs, and said, "If the night return to snow is here for me by the secret order of the king of Southern Chu, I will save a lot of effort to think about how to build a bridge to Southern Chu. If he hadn't come for me, I'd have to think of something to keep him behind, and I can't let him go."
Su Xing frowned, "Do you think that Ye Guixue came for you by the secret order of the King of Southern Chu?"
"Nine times out of ten." Su Rong said, "Ming'er will know if you look at people. My biological father is not really incompetent, otherwise, he would not have been the crown prince back then, so he responded to my mother and persuaded the king of Southern Chu to help Daliang attack Dawei. Over the years, I heard the old protector say that it was he who did not set foot in the harem to make him childless, but Nanchu did not mess up, he sat firmly on the throne, he must not be a simple person, all forces in Nanchu have been dispatched, it makes no sense that he is the king, and he still doesn't know my existence."
Su Xing didn't say much, "In short, it's good that you have a plan in your heart, and I'll accompany you tomorrow."
Su Rong nodded.
At noon, a large table of good dishes was prepared in the kitchen of the Shen Mansion.
Su Rong was satisfied with what he ate, and said to Mrs. Shen, "Feng Ling is the most gluttonous, but it's a pity that he is not here, if he knows that the food cooked by the chef of the Shen Mansion is so delicious, he will probably have to complain that he didn't eat it."
Mrs. Shen smiled and asked, "I heard that Feng Ling is also Xie Yuan's disciple?"
"Well, it's Uncle Xie's disciple and my bodyguard." Su Rong said.
Mrs. Shen understood, "Fortunately, he is here, otherwise the thief will succeed."
Su Rong didn't think about it, she wasn't a vegetarian, at most she just exposed herself on the street.
After lunch, Su Rong had no burden, and slept steadily, and after waking up, when she walked out of the room, she saw Feng Ling sitting at the table eating pastries, eating wolf, she raised her eyebrows, "The assassin caught it?"
"Well, I got it." Feng Ling swallowed the pastry, took a sip of tea, and then said quickly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still powerful, and he sent someone to investigate, the assassin hid in the Qinglou, and the Qinglou has a dark room, which has escaped the thorough investigation of Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple, but has not escaped the people of the East Palace. Lord Jingzhao Yin Li checked for a day and a night and found nothing, and there was a long bubble of fire on his mouth, until the East Palace sent someone to send him a message in private, he hurriedly led someone to rush there, saw the assassin, confirmed his identity, he almost knelt, and now although the assassin committed suicide, the entire first floor of the Qinglou was taken, and he has been imprisoned in Dali Temple."
Su Rong praised, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful."
is worthy of being a prince, with deep roots, and found the assassin's hiding place in such a short time.
Jing Zhao Yin Li Shu got the assassin, which is considered to have kept his official position, he was afraid that his Jing Zhao Yin prison was not reliable, and these people were repeat offenders, so he was handed over to Dali Temple, Dali Temple Qing had no opinion, and everyone in the Qinglou was put into the Dali Temple prison and strictly guarded.
Then, Cheng Wansheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yin Li Shu, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, entered the palace non-stop and reported the progress of the case to the emperor.
When the Emperor heard that the Assassin had committed suicide and that all the people who had hidden the Assassin's den had been imprisoned in Dali Temple, he frowned and asked, "Which Qinglou?"
"Smoke and Rain Alley."
The emperor had never heard of it, so he only instructed Dali Siqing, "Strict interrogation."
Dali Temple should be.
The emperor said to Li again: "You must do more to the security of the capital, I don't want such things to happen again."
Li Shu responded again and again, and he was about to scold the assassin to death in his heart, it was not good to kill anyone, he wanted to assassinate Princess Qingping, this matter was a big trouble, he was happy to die a hundred times, and the black gauze hat on his head almost couldn't be saved.
He thought to himself, this time he really owes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a big favor, but how can he pay it back, hey......
At the same time, the Protector Mansion, in the middle of the night, was tired and handed Zhou Gu a list.
Zhou Gu took the list, and saw a long pile of names, there were hundreds, marked with their identities and time of coming to Beijing.
"This is the list of suspicious people who poured into Beijing on the day of the scientific expedition, that is, after Miss Seven entered Beijing. But when my subordinates looked into this, they found something."
"What's the matter?"
In the middle of the night, I wanted to talk and stopped.
Zhou Gu looked up at him.
Midnight scratched his head, "My subordinates suspect that Miss Su Qi didn't enter Beijing on the day of the scientific expedition, it seems that she came to Beijing before the scientific expedition, she and Feng Ling appeared once in the capital earlier, but the traces were erased......
"Doubtful?"
Midnight nodded, "They seem to have gone to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat, but there were many people that day, and the shopkeeper said that he couldn't remember it, but the subordinates checked that day, and there was indeed a pair of sisters and brothers surnamed Feng, after all, the surname Feng is rare." But there's more, and I can't find out."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Midnight said again: "But that day, Xiao Wang Ye Xie seems to have brought a group of people to eat in the Zhuangyuan Building, if you ask Xiao Wang Ye Xie, you may be able to get some news." After all, even if the traces are erased by someone, they can't be erased from the little prince Xie."
Zhou Gu frowned, "Has there been progress in the assassination case?"
Midnight immediately said: "There is progress, Jing Zhao Yin Li Shu didn't know where to get the news, three searched Yanyu Lane, and the assassin was searched out of the secret room in Yanyu Lane, but the assassin committed suicide immediately, and hundreds of people in the entire Yanyu Lane, including the old bustard, were sent to the prison of Dali Temple."
He said with some uncertainty: "When his subordinates investigated this matter, they found that there seemed to be traces of the East Palace, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent someone to investigate the case? After finding out, he secretly sent news to Li Shu? Otherwise, with Li Shu, it would be impossible to search for the assassin so quickly."
Zhou Gu stood up, "You rest, you don't have to check anymore, these people on the list, send people to pay close attention to the movements."
Midnight nodded, he hadn't slept for a day and a night, he was almost sleepy.
Zhou Gu got out of the Frost Forest Garden and rode to the Ruian Palace.
The gatekeeper of the Ruian Palace's mansion saw that the prince of Thursday came to find the little prince again, and thought to himself, since his little prince went to Jiangning County, he and the prince of Thursday have become good brothers, these two people are now going to meet every three or five days, who would have thought that the two of them would have a good friendship one day?
Zhou Gu heard that Xie Lin was in the mansion, so he was directly taken by someone and went to Xie Lin's courtyard.
Xie Lin was listening to Qingfeng tell him the news that he had heard from outside, and when he heard that Zhou Gu was coming, Xie Lin wondered, and was a little afraid, "At this time, it's almost dinner, won't he come to me for a drink again?"
The corners of Qingfeng's mouth twitched, and she stepped back.
Xie Lin was heartbroken, walked out of the room, greeted Zhou Gu, and without waiting for him to speak, he immediately said, "I'm not feeling well today, let's say okay first, if you want to drink, drink it yourself, I won't drink today."
Zhou Gu paused in his footsteps and glanced at him speechlessly, "I'm not looking for you to drink today."
Xie Lin breathed a sigh of relief and warmly invited him to sit down, "It's okay not to ask me for a drink, just say, come to me suddenly, what's the matter?"
Zhou Gu sat down and didn't speak.
A servant girl served refreshments, Xie Lin suddenly waved his hand, and asked everyone who was waiting to go down.
The door closed, and Xie Lin asked nervously, "What's the matter?" The way you look, I always feel like it's no good to look for me."
Zhou advised him, "What happened after I left Jiangning County?"
Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Answer me."
Xie Lin looked at Zhou Gu, "Do you know something?"
Zhou Gu didn't speak.
Xie Lin scratched his head, the expression on his face was a little apologetic, "That, do you want to ask Su Rong?" Seeing that Zhou Gu didn't speak yet, only staring at him, he immediately forged, "Oh, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, it's the day you left, didn't Miss Su Qi send you out of the city?" After she sent you out of the city, she didn't go back to Su Mansion, and sent back the news that she was going to Xie Mansion to stay, but Su Taishou heard the news and hurried away
went to Xie Mansion, and soon after, Su Taishou returned to the house, and the eldest lady and Su Xing also hurried to Xie Mansion. I felt that something was wrong, so I sent Qingfeng to investigate, but nothing came out, only said that Xie Fu invited the doctor of Huichun Hall, I thought that I was afraid that something had happened to Miss Su Qi, but because I was a guest in Taishou Mansion, I ate and drank other people's lives, so I was embarrassed to find out about other people's affairs, for fear of being found out how bad, at dinner at night, I asked, Su Taishou and the eldest lady said that it was okay, only said that Miss Su Qi went to Xie Mansion to live. So, I left it alone. Therefore, until I left Jiangning County, I never saw Miss Su Qi again."
Zhou Gu's face was calm, "When you made peace with me in Jiangzhou, why didn't you say it when you saw me?"
Xie Lin glared, "That's your fiancée, what kind of mouth do I have?" We weren't good enough to wear a pair of pants at the time, so why should I take the initiative to tell you?"
Zhou Gu stopped talking.
Xie Lin saw that Zhou Gu didn't speak, and he was a little weak-hearted, "That, I didn't expect that Miss Su Qi would come to Beijing to ask you to withdraw from the marriage......
