Chapter 42: Luo Du is finished
Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly, she felt that Mrs. Zhao was too stupid, and she was willing to pay so much for a man who might not love her very much.
But no matter what, she has to be stopped from going to the capital now.
Shen Mingjiao stepped forward to hold Mrs. Zhao's hand tentatively, and found that the other party's hand was very cold. Her heart was beaten,
"Let's go ashore first, His Highness has already brought Lord Zhao over."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she suddenly reacted, she grabbed Shen Mingjiao's wrist: "Don't catch him, it's me... The murderer is me... Ahem..."
Because I was so excited. She bent over and coughed heartbreakingly.
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly patted her on the back. He turned his head towards the iron pillar and gestured down.
When Mrs. Zhao finally came to her senses, she hurriedly spoke: "I..."
Before the words fell, I felt a numbness in my back, and then I slowly fell down in front of my eyes.
Tie Zhu withdrew his hand, and Shen Mingjiao hurriedly held the person up. Motioning for the boatman to paddle ashore.
It's really that Mrs. Zhao has such ability, and her health is not good, she is afraid that something will happen if she stays on the boat.
When the ship docked, several people came to a nearby guest house. Mrs. Zhao woke up slowly.
She grabbed the mattress and got up with difficulty: "Princess Su, you tell His Royal Highness King Su and let him release Zhao Ke, all this is what I did......"
Zhao Ke, who was carried over by Feng Lisheng, suddenly heard this, and froze for a moment.
Shen Mingjiao poured her a cup of tea: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and she looked at Shen Mingjiao: "For hypnosis, I think the princess already knows something. ”
"Hypnosis is a type of witchcraft, but there are hierarchies. Unlike other witchcraft, especially high-level hypnotism, it is a talent that relies on one's own talent. It may be difficult for a person with such a talent to come up with one for decades, and such a talent is also high and low.
The hypnotism of lotus picking is only rudimentary, and it can only control some people and some animals who are not strong-willed.
So that night, when I learned of Zhao Ke's plan, I quietly followed the two of them to Fang Shoufu's house, and when Cailian's hypnosis failed, it was I who helped them control everyone in the mansion,"
Although she had already guessed it, but listening to her say it herself, Shen Mingjiao still felt a little unbelievable, there is really such a person in this world who has paid so much for love.
She couldn't help but ask, "Then does Zhao Ke know?" ”
Mrs. Zhao lowered her eyes: "He doesn't know." ”
"When it came time to kill Jia Tongju and Xu Tongzhi, the two of them obviously took precautions, and it was impossible to control those people with Cailian's ability, so I went to the two families in advance and used hypnosis to control the fine dog and kill everyone. When Zhao Ke and Cailian came over, they used hypnotism to tamper with their memories. ”
"As for the case of the loss of the treasury silver, I also arrived at the scene in advance and used the same method to kill the soldiers guarding the treasury. tampered with the memories of Zhao Ke and the others. ”
Shen Mingjiao: "What's the matter with the half of the jade pendant that the soldier ripped off in his hand?" ”
Mrs. Zhao shook her head: "I don't know,"
Feng Lisheng, who was separated by a wall, glanced at Zhao Ke, who looked incredulous and painful, and directly clicked on his dumb hole.
After figuring out the whole story, it is easy to figure out that the half of the thread was deliberately left by Zhao Ke. In order to let the people who came to investigate the case follow the vine to find the lotus.
Because if there is no progress in the case. Maybe the royal brother will directly behead all the officials of Luodu in anger.
Such a result is obviously not what Zhao Ke wants, he not only wants to use this matter to bring down all the officials in Luodu, but also uses the treasury silver to threaten the imperial brother to set up a crime
And Shishi pushed Cailian out, so as to buy him time to go to the capital.
After listening to her, Shen Mingjiao asked her again: "Is it worth it?" ”
Mrs. Zhao laughed lightly: "There is no worthiness or not, only willingness." ”
"Actually, I knew from the beginning that he wasn't the real Zhao Ke, but so what! Knowing that Cailian and the real Zhao Ke were not pure-minded, I still agreed to marry him.
I'm just hoping that he might come back one day..."
Mrs. Zhao covered her lips and coughed lightly, her eyes showing injury: "Later, he really came back, but... He seems to have forgotten about me,"
She sat weakly at the head of the bed and sighed, "It's okay to forget me, as long as I can look at him from time to time, I'm very satisfied..."
The door slammed open, and her words came to an abrupt halt. looked at Zhao Ke who rushed in with red eyes in a daze.
Zhao Ke looked at her pale and weak face, and thought of that year, under the scorching peony flowers, the girl's light and bright smile, she said that her name was Jiang Susu, and said that when we met again in the future, he would be her husband.
I didn't know her identity at the time, but I thought it was a bold show of love from a little girl.
His face was red, and his heart was beating like a thunderbolt. I secretly made up my mind to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and seek a future, if I can marry that girl, at least I will ensure that she has no worries for the rest of her life.
Only later... When she said goodbye, she was already Zhao Ke's wife, and at that time he crawled out of the mud and carried a sea of blood and hatred.
Occasionally, when he saw her secretly looking at himself, he would also flash reluctance and distress in his heart.
But loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, and since he chose to avenge His Royal Highness the Prince, it is destined to be a road of no return. He couldn't be selfish about her.
At this time, the woman on the couch suddenly asked softly:
"Zhao Ke, do you have... Has there ever been... A little bit like me..."
After she finished speaking, a pair of beautiful obsidian eyes stared at him stubbornly.
Zhao Ke turned his face away, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said lightly: "No, I have never liked you, not before, and not in the future." ”
After speaking, he lowered his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and suppressed the sourness at the bottom of his eyes.
What qualifications does a person who is destined to die have to talk about liking?
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, although it was an expected answer, her eyes still crossed with deep loss.
Wouldn't he even be willing to deceive himself?
She suddenly raised her head, took one last look at Zhao Ke, and then got out of bed with difficulty, and slowly knelt down in front of Feng Lisheng:
"His Royal Highness King Su, the women are willing to confess their sins, and everything is done by the women alone. begged His Royal Highness to be lenient on Zhao Ke. ”
Feng Lisheng glanced at her and ordered lightly: "Suppress the person." ”
Zhao Ke rushed over and yelled urgently: "Are you crazy? ”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was being carried out, he glared at Feng Lisheng fiercely: "What evidence do you have to arrest her?" ”
Feng Lisheng glanced at him: "She admitted it herself, this is the best evidence, besides, you and him can't escape." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to walk out of the door, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"Let her go, and I'll tell you the whereabouts of the treasury."
Feng Lisheng's eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hand at the iron pillar.
Mrs. Zhao turned her head. looked at him lightly, "No..."
After speaking, it seemed that he couldn't support it anymore, and slowly fell down.
Zhao Ke was completely panicked when he saw this.
Shen Mingjiao had an ominous premonition in her heart, and hurriedly urged Tie Zhu to ask for a doctor.
Fortunately, there is a medical hall nearby, and not long after, a gray-haired old man came in with a medicine box on his back. glanced at Mrs. Zhao's face, then raised her hand to take her pulse, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after a while, she withdrew her hand, sighed and said:
"Prepare for the future! This lady's heart is so damaged that she is already running out of oil! ”
Zhao Ke felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, looking at Mrs. Zhao lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she vaguely seemed to see the scene where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was covered in blood and fell silently:
"How so... She's in good health..."
Shen Mingjiao was also a little uncomfortable, although she knew. After doing these things, Mrs. Zhao will definitely die in the end, but after all, they have known each other.
She asked the doctor, "Is there no way?" ”
The doctor shook his head and turned to leave.
Shen Mingjiao passed in front of Zhao Ke and said lightly:
"If you know today, why bother in the first place. The reason why she is like this is that she has overdrawn too much ability and has been counterattacked, that is, he has lost his life in order to help you. ”
After a while, Mrs. Zhao woke up slowly, and she was very calm about her physical condition: "I killed so many innocent people, and naturally I will be retributed." This is the punishment I deserve. ”
She turned her head to look at Zhao Ke, who was red-eyed, and said with a light smile: "In this life, it is worth it to see you cry for me once." ”
She coughed lightly and vomited out a mouthful of blood: "You have already done what you have to do for your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you promise me, if you can, live for yourself once." ”
Zhao Ke smiled bitterly, he had taken poison before, and his life was less than three days left, let alone the future!
He knew that he had no way out, he turned his head and knelt down in front of Feng Lisheng,
"Can the prince tell me the truth, whether His Royal Highness the Prince's death is related to the emperor, and I will explain to His Highness when I get underground."
Feng Lisheng did not hesitate, and shook his head firmly: "Although the imperial brother does not like Qi You's sharp and decisive determination, he will never kill his own son. As for the murderer of Qi You. I promise you that in my lifetime I will capture and bring people to justice. ”
Even if there is no such thing, he has been tracking down the murderer of Qi You, and he has a gut feeling that Qi You's death is likely to be related to the palace change in the twenty-fifth year of the previous life Jing, that is, King Yu who was far away in Jingzhou.
Zhao Ke leaned on Mrs. Zhao's couch and said lightly: "Okay, I believe in you, if you can't do it, I will curse you to never get the love of your beloved." ”
Shen Mingjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, and secretly said in her heart that your curse is quite spiritual.
Feng Lisheng likes Su Tilt, and Su Tilt only likes those who can be emperors, so it is not surprising that he will never be liked by his beloved.
Feng Lisheng subconsciously glanced at Shen Mingjiao when he heard this, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
But I heard Zhao Ke continue: "As for where is the treasury silver?" ”
He straightened up and said earnestly word by word: "I want you to swear that you must ensure that every tael of this silver is used effectively, otherwise even if you die, I will not say it." ”
Hearing this, Feng Lisheng couldn't help but be a little moved, although Zhao Ke acted in an extreme way, he almost caused a big disaster. But there is no doubt about his sincerity towards Qi You.
He nodded: "Okay, I swear!" ”
Zhao Ke raised his hand to stop him, glanced at Shen Mingjiao, and said coldly: "I want you to swear by the safety of Princess Su?" ”
Feng Lisheng didn't want to refuse categorically: "No." ”
Although he doesn't believe in fate, he will never joke with Shen Mingjiao's safety.
After saying that, he raised his hand and swore a poisonous oath with his life.
Shen Mingjiao didn't care, it wasn't that she didn't believe in the oath or anything, she just had confidence in Feng Lisheng, since he agreed. I will do my best to do a good job.
Zhao Ke glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything more, and said very simply where to put the silver.
"I buried the silver under the mine south of the city."
Feng Lisheng immediately ordered someone to look for it, and half an hour later, the person sent to return returned. It is said that a box of official silver was indeed dug up in a mine.
Zhao Ke begged Feng Lisheng: "My time is running out, in the end I want to accompany Su Su well, if you are not at ease, you can send someone to lock us up." ”
Feng Lisheng glanced at the two of them: "Whatever." ”
After speaking, he directly led people out, and since the case has been clarified, he still has to deal with some follow-up matters, especially the batch of official silver.
However, this case involves Qi You and the imperial brother, and it will not be written in the file and published. The external statement is still that Jiangyang thieves imitate monsters to commit crimes.
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand why the imperial brother alone sent him to investigate this case, maybe the imperial brother already knew something.
And in the house, Shen Mingjiao recruited the maid of the guest house and asked Mrs. Zhao to tell her if she had anything.
After all, once she got acquainted, that's all she could do.
Mrs. Zhao thanked her softly, and finally said to her:
"The book I gave you will definitely be read well when I go back, and your talent is even higher than mine. But remember, don't use it to hurt anyone, or you'll see what happened to me. ”
Shen Mingjiao nodded in thanks.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to get up, Zhao Ke directly hit the person and picked her up.
In these few days, he wanted to do his best to treat Su Su well, if there was a next life, he would definitely find Su Su early and treat her well for the rest of his life.
Mrs. Zhao looked up at the man's handsome and gentle face. He laughed slowly, and his eyes flashed with paranoia.
Finally... This man can only pretend to be her in his heart!
Shen Mingjiao inadvertently glimpsed it, and seemed to understand everything. She felt a chill. Hurried out of the inn.
On the way, she suddenly thought that in her previous life, she seemed to have heard that there was a woman from Luodu who beat the drum.
It's just that before beating the drum, she had to take fifty boards, and later heard that the woman was beaten to death without even ten boards, and her husband hurried over, looked at her corpse, and then laughed and went crazy.
