Chapter 140: Moths to the Fire
Sima Chao has always been scolded by his father recently, thinking that his father is really blaming, he obviously has something important to do, but when he sees Love, Sima Chao, who has always been self-conscious, can't hold it.
After some rain and clouds, Sima Chao got up and got dressed by himself, and then asked about business.
"Afu, I once saw a girl from the Chu Pavilion in Qinlou come to you, how did you recognize this person."
Love thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Do you mean Ning'er?" ”
Sima Chao replied; "I don't know what her name is, I just want to know how you know this person? What do you know about her? ”
Love got up and got dressed, and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention Ning'er?" ”
Sima Chao replied: "It's nothing, there is a case involving her in the past few days, because I have seen her here with you, so I came to ask you." ”
The case that can alarm Sima Chao must not be a trivial matter, although Luo Fu does not have a deep relationship with Ning Er, but she is Zhao Yi'an's person after all, so Luo Fu has to be cautious.
She pondered and replied: "I don't have a big friendship with her, she is a friend of my old friend, and she only came to me to ask for calligraphy." ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but ask Sima Chao: "What case is Ning'er involved in?" ”
When Sima Chao and Luo Fu said this, he had been silently paying attention to her expression, with his understanding of her, Sima Chao was sure that Luo Fu really had no deep friendship with the assassin called Ning Er, and Luo Fu did not know about Ning Er's assassination of the Queen Mother.
So good, he didn't have to worry about her getting involved in this lawsuit.
Only then did Sima Chao tell the truth and tell Luo Fu about Ning'er's assassination of the Queen Mother.
Love was shocked when she heard this, this Ning Er was able to sneak into the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother, which shows that Zhao Yi'an behind her really has a great background.
Ning'er was arrested, if Zhao Yi'an confessed, then he would definitely be in danger, Zhao Yi'an had helped her righteously, and Luo Fu didn't want Zhao Yi'an to have anything to do with her in her private heart.
Sima Chao glanced at Love's expression and asked, "What?" Do you know who is behind this assassin? ”
Luo Fu hurriedly gathered his thoughts: "I'm just surprised that a weak woman like Ning'er has such courage. She pretended to be indifferent and said: "Since the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is a mixture of fish and dragons, since she has the ability to sneak into the inner palace to assassinate, how can the master behind her be known by ordinary people." ”
Sima Chao heard Luo Fu say this, he didn't doubt him, Sima Chao smiled slightly, and replied: "I want to see what is sacred behind her, heh!" Although this case seems mysterious, it will be easy for me to crack it. ”
Luo Fu was shocked, but he didn't dare to let Sima Chao see the flaws on his face, so he only replied with a smile: "I wish you to catch the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible." ”
Sima Chao smiled slightly, then stood up and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to be busy these days, and I can't come to see you often." ”
At the mention of this, Sima Chao couldn't help but show annoyance again, he leaned over and kissed Love, and muttered: "No, when I'm done with this while, I have to think of marrying you back, and I want to tie you to my side to feel at ease." ”
After sending Sima Chao away, Luo Fu hurriedly called Lantian and handed her a letter, explaining: "You go to the Zhenxiu Workshop quickly, if you can see Zhao Gongzi, you will hand over this letter to him, if you can't see anyone, you will hand it over to the shopkeeper Li, and tell the shopkeeper that you must hand over this letter to Zhao Gongzi as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Yi'an was kind to her, and Love couldn't watch him die at the hands of Sima Chao.
When Sima Chao returned to the palace again, he already had a way to capture the real culprit behind the scenes, he called a few deputies and explained: "Strictly seal the news of the female assassin's arrest, send someone to secretly search her residence, thoroughly investigate who brought this person into the inner palace, and closely monitor these people, just don't startle the snake." ”
A few brocade guards took the order and left, stayed until the evening, and finally found some useful news.
Ning Er was able to sneak into the inner palace, in the imperial city, there were definitely her accomplices, Sima Chao was not in a hurry to catch these people at the moment, his real purpose was to catch the real culprits behind these people.
On the second day, he found some clues, and among the eunuchs who led Ning'er into the palace, a suspicious person was caught.
The eunuch went to an alley to deliver the news on the grounds that he was out of the palace on an errand, and the catcher waited for him to leave a mark on a wall and arrested him when he returned to the imperial city.
At this point, the truth that Sima Chao wants to find has seen a glimmer of light.
Sima Chao waved his hand to the left and right: "Escort this old eunuch to the prison, serve the big punishment, and be sure to ask for something." ”
He also ordered his subordinates: "Pay close attention to the place where he left a mark, if someone comes, don't startle the snake, just follow quietly." ”
Sima Chao was determined to win, but he didn't want to go to the alley where the eunuch left a mark, and squatted for two or three days, and he didn't follow anyone.
This greatly surprised Sima Chao's expectations, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, so he had to pin his hopes on the two people who were arrested, and ordered people to interrogate them strictly, but these two people were diehards, no matter how they tossed, they just refused to speak.
Sima Chao was helpless, so he had another plan and ordered someone to hang the prisoner on the city gate.
The eunuch was a small character, but Sima Chao could see that the woman called Ning'er must be a different character in this group.
What can make a weak woman endure torture and refuse to spit out is mostly because of the word "love", she has affection for one of the leaders of this group, so she can spare her life.
Sima Chao was sure that someone would be unable to hold his breath to save this woman.
Sima Chao was right, when Zhao Yi'an saw Ning Er who was hanging on the city gate, he was a little breathless.
There is one more person who can't hold his breath even more, and that is Mo Gan.
For Zhao Yi'an, Ning'er is just a chess piece in his hand, but this chess piece has been held in his hand for a long time, and it will also have temperature. But for Liu Moqian, Ning'er is the love of his heart, although he can't keep her, but let him watch his beloved being tortured, he really can't do it.
Liu Moqian did not discuss with Zhao Yi'an, and on the night before Ning Er was hung on the city gate, he sneaked up to the city gate dressed in black and carrying a sword.
Although he knew that this was a trap, for Liu Moqian, it didn't hurt to take his life for the sake of his beloved.
At the moment when he cut the rope hanging Ning'er, the black-pressed brocade guards on the city gate surrounded Liu Moqian.
Liu Moqian helped Ning Er up, his eyes red: "Even if you die, you have to die together." ”
Ning Er looked at Liu Moqian, and said weakly and resolutely: "You know, what I love is him, even if I die, I just want to die for him." ”
Emotional matters are sometimes like moths to the fire, and there is no reason to talk about it.
