Chapter 142: Puzzle Clearing

However, everyone still has a lot of questions about the whole thing, and since Zhou Jin has taken the lead, others have also raised their own questions.

Su Zhou groaned: "Pei Xun said that the reason why he planned the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion was to get a book left by the prince, what kind of book did the prince leave to make him care so much?" ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "You are all the closest people to the prince, has he written a book, if you don't know, can I still know?" ”

"Bae Hyun didn't say?"

Su Shi shook his head and said, "No." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, his expression suddenly became extremely strange, he looked at Zhou Jin and the others one by one, and asked slowly, "You don't know that the prince once wrote a book?" ”

Those who swept his gaze shook their heads.

Su Shi was still a little unwilling, he looked at Zhou Jin and said, "You have the closest relationship with the prince, think about it carefully, has the prince mentioned this matter to you?" ”

Zhou Jin hesitated and said: "Since Pei Xun attaches so much importance to this book, what is recorded in this book must be extraordinary, and the prince's brother may not show it easily." And when I was young, the prince's brother wouldn't tell me. ”

Su Shi looked at Hu Cunyi again, Hu Cunyi shook his head lightly and said: "I believe that Your Majesty doesn't know either, and when Your Majesty was investigating the prince's case, he ordered the secret guards to carefully check all the things left by the prince, including books." Every book has been read, and if such a book exists, there must be something peculiar about it, and the guards should have noticed it. ”

Su Shi touched his nose and wondered, "Then why is Pei Hyun so sure that the prince must leave a book?" ”

No one figured it out.

Zhou Jin said again: "And why did Pei Xun know the cipher text embroidered by Hui Niang on the handkerchief?" ”

Still no one could answer.

Qin Nan has been sitting quietly on the side, from the mouths of Zhou Jin and Su Zhou, she learned how much Su Shi did in the case of the prince, almost single-handedly, within a few days, let everyone investigate the case that had been clueless for ten years.

So she looked at Su Shi with a strange brilliance in her eyes, and in this strange brilliance, Su Shi looked so heroic.

Now seeing that everyone was in doubt, Qin Nan came to his senses, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Could there be such a possibility, that is, the prince and Pei Hyun met again after that?" ”

When Su Shi heard this, he immediately fell silent, thinking carefully about how likely this was to be.

Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask, "Why does my sister have this inference?" ”

Qin Nan slowly explained: "Since the book and the secret text written by the crown prince, since even Her Royal Highness the princess and Her Majesty don't know about it, it means that the prince doesn't want others to know. That is, if the crown prince does not tell others, no one will know the secret. ”

Zhou Jin's eyes lit up, and then said: "On the other hand, if someone knows this secret, it must be the prince's brother who told him." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, because Qin Nan's speculation was not unreasonable.

But now a new question arises, when did the prince meet Bae Hyun again? Why meet him?

What's more important is why he would tell Bae Hyun a secret that he didn't tell his dearest?

Everyone's eyes looked at Su Shi, and Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, I'm not an immortal." Now that the crown prince and Bae Hyun have passed away, I am afraid that these questions will never be answered. Unless we can find the book left by the prince, there may be the answer we want to know. ”

Hearing this, everyone felt even more hopeless.

One is that after so much time, it is a question of whether the book can be preserved. And now they only know that it is a book, and they don't know the rest at all, so they know where to find it. In the end, with Bae Hyun's high intelligence, he couldn't find it, and it would be a waste of time to look for it again.

Originally, everyone still hoped that Hui Niang's embroidered handkerchief would leave any clues, but now I know that it is just Hui Niang's embroidery to show her heart, and there is no secret at all.

Although everyone was grateful for Hui Niang's infatuation, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

While everyone was sighing, Hu Cunyi asked lightly: "Why did this remnant of the Pei family choose Gongzi to tell him about this?" ”

Everyone's faces changed, because this question was not easy to answer, but it had to be answered, because Gonggong Hu's question represented His Majesty's question.

Su Shi sighed slightly: "Because he is about to die." ”

This answer did not satisfy Hu Cunyi, and in his opinion, it was even perfunctory.

Zhou Jin was anxious and wanted to open his mouth to relieve Su Shi, but he didn't know what to say.

Qin Nan's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but at this time, he heard Su Shi continue: "The reason why Pei Xun chose me is because he knows that I am investigating this matter, and he also wants to use my mouth to tell everyone that he has avenged Daqian's revenge for destroying the country and destroying the clan. ”

Hu Cunyi's face changed, and his white and beardless face seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.

Su Chang sighed: "Emperor Daqian ordered an expedition, Qi Zheng destroyed Nanjing, and Tan Bin offered a plan to destroy households, so he killed the prince of Daqian, Qi Yu, the great-grandson of Qi Zheng, and Tan Zhuo, the grandson of Tan Bin, to take revenge." It's just that his methods are so ingenious that no one has noticed them for years, and even if they do, they can't find any evidence. ”

That's why he will tell everything before he dies, because if he doesn't say it, everyone's death will be considered an accident, and then everything he does will have no meaning. And the reason why he told me was that he wanted Daqian to take revenge on the Nanjing Pei clan for all this. ”

All the questions could be thought of were answered, the unanswered questions had become a dead end, and the party was broken up as it was getting late.

The first to leave were Gonggong Hu and Zhou Jin.

Gonggong Hu has to go back to report to His Majesty. Zhou Jin's mood was also very low, although the cause of the prince's death had been revealed, but during this period, it caused her many memories, as if she was in a different world, and it seemed to be in front of her.

After they left, Qin Zhidao took Qin Yue and Qin Nan to bid farewell to Su Zhou.

Although Qin Zhidao was very emotional about the prince, his eyes were very relieved when he looked at Su Shi, and before leaving, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said three good things in a row.

Although Qin Yue was two or three years older than Su Shi, he was now looking at Su Shi with admiration, because he couldn't imagine that Su Shi would solve the case in addition to being so eloquent, and he would easily solve the case when everyone was helpless.

When Qin Nan and Su Shi said goodbye, the two of them said goodbye to each other in a serious and well-behaved manner, but when Qin Nan turned around, Su Shi quietly pointed to his arm with his hand, and Qin Nan's face turned red all of a sudden.

Fortunately, it was late, and no one noticed her embarrassment, but when she turned around, she couldn't help but glare at Su Shi with a red face.

Su Shi was in a happy mood, and suddenly felt that the boredom in his heart had decreased a lot.
