Chapter 226: Clever Chess Player
It's nothing for one person to say this, but Sister Chun'er and Ah Xi are the same, which makes Yu Yi feel a little strange, what kind of person is this Lu Jin who will make these people evaluate him like this?
Ah Xi, who was dressed in white, slid to the ground against the wall, his eyes became blank, and his lips trembled slightly.
Yu Yi then asked, "What happened that night?" β
Ah Xi seemed to think of something painful, and frowned slightly: "That night, I and Ye Gong..." she smiled bitterly and changed her title, "I made an appointment with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet at the palace gate, when I walked to a small alley, Tian Deshou suddenly appeared and pressed me into the deep alley, he tore my clothes like crazy, I picked up the wooden stick on the side in a panic, and he let go of his hand after a few random strokes, and I found the opportunity to run." β
Yu Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Ah Xi who was sitting on the ground, closed his eyes slightly and asked, "And then?" β
Ah Xi didn't know where to star, and was stunned for a long time before he slowly moved his gaze to Yu Yi, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse and asked, "His Royal Highness King Lin, Brother Lu...... Is it really dead? β
Yu Yi took out a jade wrench from his arms, squatted down and put it in front of Ah Xi. This was taken from the deceased's belongings in the mortuary, and Yu Yi had already guessed that Ah Xi would be suspicious of this news, so he had already made some preparations. Ah Xi also understood when he saw the jade wrench, this is Lu Jin's jade wrench, he once told Ah Xi that this is his family heirloom, and he will never leave him. Now Ah Xi looked at the jade wrench in front of him and closed his eyes in pain.
"I ran out of the deep alley, and Tian Deshou chased after me, but Brother Lu came, I hid in fear, and when he found me, Brother Lu was covered in blood and held a dagger in his hand, I mustered up the courage to go in and look, and I saw Tian Deshou, who was already dead."
Ah Xi doesn't know martial arts, and Tian Deshou's fatal wound is a trick to kill the enemy in the army, which is enough to prove that Ah Xi is not a murderer. Look at the secret room where Lu Jin died, and the correspondence with Tian Deshou in it has Lu Jin's participation in the whole process of gentle incense. Tian Deshou had a falling out with Lu Jin because of the money, so Lu Jin killed him. This can be seen now, but according to what Yu Yi has mastered, this is just a pawn in this chess game.
Although there is no substantive evidence, Yu also knows about these two people, and Liu Wenzhong is inseparable. Both of them are Liu Wenzhong's downline, Tian Deshou is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has no use value after telling the old man, so he has to die, and if he doesn't die, Liu Wenzhong can't sleep, because he used to be controlled by Liu Wenzhong, who was the prime minister, when he was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and as soon as he told the old man that he had no official position, he was out of Liu Wenzhong's control.
Lu Jin then killed Tian Deshou for the reason of revenge for Ah Xi, and asked Ah Xi to take the blame for Lu Jin in order to repay his kindness, and Lu Jin, who led them to the light, naturally understood this.
It's just that this still angered Liu Wenzhong.
Liu Wenzhong is the prime minister, and many ministers in the court are his protΓ©gΓ©s, so even Emperor An does not dare to rashly move him, and there must be tangible evidence to convince his protΓ©gΓ©s in the court, otherwise the court will be in chaos, and the imperial capital will be in chaos.
Because of this, Liu Wenzhong knew that he was a Ming chess, and he also knew that he and Emperor An were now in a delicate balance, and Lu Jin was undoubtedly breaking this balance by doing so. There used to be Dali Temple in the imperial capital, and now there is a unified investigation office, Liu Wenzhong knows the methods of Yun Xinghe and Yu Yi, this case will eventually be solved, and Lu Jin will eventually be arrested. Just in case, Lu Jin also had to die.
He sent someone to kidnap the two girls who discovered Lu Jin's whereabouts, killed Lu Jin when Yu Yi was bent on finding someone, covered up all the clues with a confession, and pointed the clues to Lu Jin and Tian Deshou, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the owner of the first house, which can indeed support the entire line of gentle incense, which is enough to convince people.
Of course, this is all Yu Yi's speculation, after all, Bai Jiangyi and Zhao Ke'er just saw Lu Jin coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they didn't know anything else.
Liu Wenzhong is a good chess player.
Yu Yi stood up and walked straight out. Ah Xi didn't keep her, just got up again and stared blankly at the back in the distance.
After leaving the dungeon, Yun Xinghe and Shen Jiayi were already waiting for him outside. Dali Siqing is also an old fox, and when he came back, the soldier said that King Lin went to the dungeon to know what he wanted to do. Yun Xinghe went to Yu Yi and asked, "Do you want her to come out?" β
Yu Yi glanced at him, and it was admirable that a man who was not confused could still have such a childlike mentality. Yu Yi said "um" and did not deny it.
The wide sleeves of Yun Xinghe's purple robe waved, and said lightly, "Then let it go." β
Yu Shen and the others were stunned, they both suspected that they had heard it wrong, and the businessman who refused to suffer was still so kind? Yun Xinghe also understood his thoughts from the expressions of the person in front of him, and said after chuckling a few times: "Lu Jin loves walnuts and almost never leaves his hand, and the walnuts found in the place where the crime occurred were broken, even if he cleaned them cleanly, there would be some omissions." β
"So ......"
Yun Xinghe exhaled: "So Ah Xi didn't kill anyone, take the blame, I have the right to sell you face, after all, I have also understood what happened to these people in Yashe, they are all hard-working people." β
Taiwei Shen raised his lips and smiled incredulously: "You still have compassion?" β
"It's a matter of my words whether I let it go or not, in fact, I can also be exiled for three thousand miles."
The Shen family admitted: "You raise your noble hand!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Wenzhong closed his eyes on the recliner and rested, he has been used to it for a long time, and he doesn't know why he can't sleep anywhere during the day, only in this study full of books and ink can he squint for a while. Lao Kong knocked on the door of the study, and Liu Wenzhong, who was included, did not open his eyes but let out a soft "um". Lao Kong pushed the door in, closed the door cautiously, and then went to Xiangye's side and pressed his shoulder, and said in a very low voice: "Xiangye, the people outside have been staring at me for several days, don't you care about him?" β
Liu Wenzhong took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry about him, anyway, there is nothing to do during this time, it's just that the news is going to be worn out, let Yongsi don't come back first, and Yan Jingshan, don't come to me during this time, I will go in person after the new currency starts." β
Lao Kong bowed slightly: "Understood." β
Xiangye yawned and smacked his lips, and said casually: "This Yu Yi, really staring at me." β
This time, Lao Kong didn't take the liberty to speak again, but just increased his strength. Liu Wenzhong's brows stretched a little more: "How is the Shangli Academy?" β
"It's business as usual." Old Kong Dao.
Liu Wenzhong opened his eyes: "Where are the people?" β
Lao Kong stopped his movements and got up and saluted with his fists: "You can reach the imperial capital in less than two days." β
Liu Wenzhong nodded: "Let's talk about it later, you step down, I'll sleep for a while." β
Lao Kong didn't say much, and left after making another move.
