Chapter 398: A Cauldron Falling from the Sky (Second Update)

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yat will deliberately let Xiang You come back to tell her, which must not be a trivial matter.

She stopped, walked back into the small hall and sat down, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

To the right: "Lang Jun said, recently, the other envoys of Da Chu have made some changes, and it seems that they are secretly transferring troops, and the army under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family has been secretly rubbing some small movements recently, and the saint has ordered someone to secretly keep an eye on the Jiang family, Lang Jun asked Mrs. to be careful recently, and let the villain follow Mrs. these days." ”

Xu Jing's heart sank suddenly.

It seems that the Jiang family can't sit still.

Also, after knowing that the huge force that has been plotting against this country behind their backs comes from the four great Chu families, the Jiang family must already have self-knowledge in their hearts, and Xiao Yi and the others will find out about them sooner or later.

Even if they want to plan and then act, they have no choice but to find a way to break this dilemma before the paper is completely punctured.

And even if Xiao Yi knew that the force was the Jiang family, they would not dare to act rashly until there was clear evidence, after all, the Jiang family's forces were all over the Great Chu court and military camps, which could be said to affect the whole body.

Not to mention, the Jiang family also has one of the most powerful armies in Great Chu in their hands, the Tianwu Army.

It's no wonder that Xiao Yi has been busy like this recently, and when she was in Anping County before, she specially asked Xiao He to come over to escort her.

Seeing that Xu Jing had a calm face and didn't speak for a long time, he paused to the right and said, "Lang Jun asked the villain to tell Madame that the current situation is still under the control of him and the Holy Lord, Madame doesn't have to worry too much, Madame just needs to protect herself." ”

Xu Jing stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "No! ”

The people around were all taken aback by Xu Jing, and they didn't understand what she meant by her sudden words.

Xu Jing's face became more and more ugly, the corners of her mouth tightened, and she suddenly said: "Cheng Xiao, you quickly send someone to the Lin family to arrest Lin Chengzhao!" ”

Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "But madam, we have no power or reason to arrest people......

This kind of thing is done by the government government.

"Power and reason, we'll talk about that later!"

Xu Jing said coldly without question: "If you don't arrest someone again, he'll run away!" ”

Cheng Xiao didn't dare to say anything more, hugged his fists in response, and quickly went out to find someone.

Xu Jing then strode out of the door and said, "Others, follow me to Shi Wenfeng's house immediately!" ”

There was one thing, she was mistaken, very wrong!

And she should have noticed this earlier!

However, she still went late.

When Xu Jing went to Shi Wenfeng's house, she saw that Yao Shaoyin was about to walk into his house with a group of people, so she noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran up and said, "Yao Shaoyin, but what happened?" ”

Yao Shaoyin paused, looked at Xu Jing who walked over quickly, and was very surprised, "Xu Niangzi, why are you here?" ”

Xu Jingyan said succinctly: "I found out that the most likely person among the six people to be poisoned is Shi Wenfeng. ”

When Yao Shaoyin heard this, his face sank slightly, and he said after a while: "It's unfortunate, I thought the same way, but when I sent someone to ask Shi Wenfeng for questioning, I found that he was gone." ”

It's gone?!

Xu Jing's eyebrows furrowed.

Yao Shaoyin said quickly: "Yesterday, the people in the government watched Shi Wenfeng enter his house, and after that, I left two officials near his house to monitor him, and until noon today, they didn't see Shi Wenfeng come out, so they thought that Shi Wenfeng had been at home."

Unexpectedly, this afternoon, I sent someone to his house to ask about something, my people knocked on the door for a long time and no one came to open the door, they noticed that something was wrong, forced the door to break in, only to find that the person was no longer inside! ”

Xu Jing calmed herself down and said, "But he ran away while the people who were watching were not paying attention?" ”

"It's unlikely, the yard he rented was very small, and it was an alley that could only accommodate two people from the front gate, and the same was true from the back door, and his yard had only two gates. The two people I left behind, one at the front door and the other at the back door, were sure that he never came out. ”

Yao Shaoyin said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the most important thing is that my people just told me that they found a tunnel in Shi Wenfeng's bedroom, which can lead all the way to an abandoned land temple not far away. ”

Tunnel?!

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but be shocked: "How is it possible! The villain remembered that Shi Wenfeng was only transferred to Xijing in mid-October, could it be that he dug such a tunnel in less than five months?

Moreover, could it be that he had already determined that he was going to poison the matter, so he dug this tunnel early? ”

But in mid-October, their wife still had no intention of competing with the Lin family for the right to supply medicine to the army!

At that time, they didn't even know that the force behind the scenes was the Jiang family!

Xu Jing was silent for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "What if that tunnel was in this room from the beginning?" ”

And Shi Wenfeng's choice to rent this yard is not accidental.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but look at his wife with some surprise.

What does Madam mean, Shi Wenfeng still has the same party?

And he and his comrades had planned to murder them a long time ago?

Xu Jing didn't say much, and said, "Let's go and see that tunnel first." ”

The tunnel was indeed in the dormitory of the house, hidden under a bookshelf, and only one person could enter and exit, and after walking in it for about two quarters of an hour, you could reach the exit.

Yao Shaoyin sent a few officials to go through the whole process, and after the officials came out, he frowned and said: "There are a lot of planks and wooden strips used as fixes in the tunnel, and the villain looks, many of those planks and wooden strips are already a little old, this tunnel is by no means dug up recently, it has existed for at least two or three years." ”

Listening to the words of the servant, everyone present looked incredulous, but Xu Jing's face became darker and darker, obviously not surprised by this result.

Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but say: "Could it be ...... Could it be that this tunnel was dug by the landlord of this yard? ”

He was about to ask someone to call the landlord over for questioning, but Xu Jing chuckled and said, "I can probably guess who dug this tunnel, and who is behind Shi Wenfeng." ”

Yao Shaoyin turned his head to look at Xu Jing with a surprised expression.

Xu Jing didn't look at him, looked at Cheng Xiaodao: "I asked you to send someone to arrest the person, but you caught it?" ”

Cheng Xiao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "The villain will send someone to see the situation now." ”

"Hmm."

Xu Jing said lightly: "If the person has been caught, you don't need to bring it to me, just take it directly to the Xijing Mansion." ”

About half an hour later, Yao Shaoyin and Xu Jing stood in the Xijing Mansion, looking at Lin Chengzhao who was escorted in front of them in embarrassment, Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but be surprised: "Xu Niangzi, this is ...... What's going on?! ”

Xu Jing didn't answer his question, and said to the guard who was pressing Lin Chengzhao, "Take out the cloth ball in his mouth." ”

As soon as the cloth ball was taken out, Lin Chengzhao, whose eyes were full of red bloodshots, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Xu, Jing!" Who do you think you are! What qualifications do you have to catch me! Do you believe me or not......"

Xu Jing didn't wait for him to finish his cruel words, so he said very confidently: "I didn't arrest you, you were poisoned in the medicinal soup distributed to the homeless people yesterday, you can't be unaware, I arrested you because I wanted you to assist in the investigation of the case." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Shaoyin on the side very instructively.

Yao Shaoyin: "......"

Fortunately, his brain was still clever, and he took the cauldron very indifferently, and coughed lightly: "That's right, the person who arrested you here is the official, but the official...... Fang was entangled in affairs, and he couldn't spare his hand, so he asked Xu Niangzi to help arrest people. ”

Lin Chengzhao's eyes widened suddenly, he never expected that it would be someone from the Xijing Mansion who wanted to arrest him.

Yao Shaoyin coughed lightly in case his brain turned around, and said sharply: "Lin Dangjia, at noon today, Shi Wenfeng, who is the most suspected of poisoning, suddenly disappeared, and we found a tunnel that had been dug a long time ago in his bedroom. If the official guessed correctly, Shi Wenfeng ...... Is it your people? ”

He knew that Xu Niangzi had recently competed with the Lin family's Guangming Hall for the qualification to supply medicine to the army.

Although he didn't know the grievances between the Lin family and the Zhou family, he hadn't figured out why Shi Wenfeng happened to live in an authentic courtyard.

But it did not prevent him from understanding that Xu Jing's intention of detaining Lin Chengzhao in front of him was that he had something to do with this poisoning case.

Lin Chengzhao's body trembled violently, and he suddenly glared at Xu Jing with hatred, as if he felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, and said loudly: "I admit it, Shi Wenfeng...... It's really my person, I bought him two years ago, that guy hates his dad so much, he is bent on getting ahead and impressing his dad, it's not a difficult thing to buy him. The kid surnamed Zhou thought I didn't know, he had installed a lot of people in our Guangming Hall, and I was just a courtesy!

Let Shi Wenfeng live in that courtyard, that's what I mean, our Lin family has been rooted in Xijing for so many years, and there are some ways and means to save their lives, the Zhou family suddenly drove the Xijing branch of Tianyi Pavilion back, it was to make me feel good, I let Shi Wenfeng live in that courtyard, just in case, thinking that he might be used in the future!

But I really don't know about his poisoning this time! I wasn't the one who instructed him to poison him! I don't know if he suddenly took the wrong medicine to do such a thing! (End of chapter)
