Chapter 040: The Case of Extermination

Although the Star Picking Building was established by Mu Qingchen, her identity determined that she could only lurk in the dark, although Feng Xiran had the name of the landlord, she had been wandering the rivers and lakes, and never asked about the things in the building, so almost all the things in the Star Picking Building were taken care of by Ning Chen.

Ning Chen's name is the deputy landlord, but he is one of the people who can really call the shots in the Star Picking Building, but he doesn't know what Xiao Yi said, so Ning Chen doesn't dare to agree easily.

"The owner of the Qi Building, the person who was the one who paid 10,000 taels of silver, entrusted the Star Picking Building to investigate the Ye family's extermination case. Ning Chen paused, glanced at Mu Qingchen, and finally spoke.

"What did you say?" Qingchen looked at Ning Chen in shock, a little incredulous, "You said, he wants to investigate the Ye family's extermination case?"

"Yes, landlord, you know this matter best, the Ye family was crowned with the crime of rebellion and bullying, and it will be destroyed by the current emperor, but the Ye family is a big family after all, if there is no evidence at all, it is groundless, not to mention that the ministers of the court and the central government do not believe it, even the people will not believe it, so the only doubt is in this so-called evidence. Ning Chen said.

"What he asked you to check is the so-called incriminating evidence of the Ye family?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"Yes, he also said that it was Lu Tianqi, the servant of the Criminal Department, who handed a piece of paper to the emperor, so that the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Ye Mansion, and then found the dragon robe and jade seal in the Ye Mansion......"

"Ten thousand taels of silver, it's not a small amount, it's enough to pick up the stars and spend it for a long time, why not?" Qingchen listened to Ning Chen's words, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said so.

"What does the landlord mean by taking over this business?" Ning Chen asked.

"Pick it up, I just want to know, how did Xiao Ling find the so-called incriminating evidence of the Ye family within those three days, and finally fill my Ye family, leaving no one behind!" Qingchen said, his voice suddenly became cold, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and Ning Chen and Zhan Yu on the side were shocked.

"The subordinates obeyed. Ning Chen bowed and nodded.

"Landlord, it's not too early, Jinyan ...... over there," Jiyu reminded slightly.

Qingchen nodded, asked Ning Chen to retreat, and left the Star Picking Tower with Zhu Yu and went back to the palace directly.

In Luluo House, the lights in Huai Jin and Aunt Qiu's room had already been extinguished, only the candle flame in Qingchen's bedroom was still on, Qingchen and Zhiyu quietly returned to the door of the dormitory, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"Ahh

"Jinyan, where have you been? The princess and I have been looking for you in the Star Picking Tower for a long time and have not seen you. Zhan Yu was the first to ask.

"Slave maid...... When the slave went to the toilet and came back, she saw that the room was smashed by others, and the princess and you were nowhere to be seen, and the slave and maid thought ...... I thought you came back first, so ......" Jin Yan looked scared, and seemed to be still apprehensive about not being able to find Mu Qingchen.

"Okay, isn't Bengong back well? It's okay, Hold Yu, you go down with Jinyan to rest, it's scared of her today. Qingchen commanded.

Ju Yu nodded, helped Jin Yan, who was trembling all over, and left Mu Qingchen's bedroom, and returned to the house where the girls lived, and just after Ji Yu and the others left, a black shadow jumped down on the beam and landed in front of Mu Qingchen.

"Subordinates, see the landlord. Ye Di stood in front of Mu Qingchen and bowed.

"Follow all the way, what did you find?" Qingchen turned around and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea from the table next to him, and took a sip lightly before asking.

"Landlord, she really has a problem. Since she left the room of the Star Picking Building, the subordinates followed her all the way, she came out after going to the toilet, and went directly out of the Star Picking Building, summoned a carrier pigeon in the back alley, and sent a letter out, and then returned to the Star Picking Building, looking for the owner. Nightshade said.

"A carrier pigeon, shouldn't it be difficult to die at night?" Qingchen asked with a smile.

"Please take a look at the landlord. Nightshade handed the note tied to the carrier pigeon to Qingchen.

Qingchen slowly unfolded, but saw that the note was written with the words "The princess's personality has changed greatly", and even her living and eating in King Yi's Mansion were written down word for word, just to prove that she was not the same as Mu Qingchen before.

"But they did not know to whom the letter was to be written. Qingchen said, frowning, "Can the pigeon be released?"

The subordinate thought that the landlord might use it, so he caught the pigeon. Nightshade said.

"Very good, find someone in the building who is good at imitating handwriting to rewrite this letter according to the opposite content, send it over, and be sure to find out who is behind Jinyan. Qingchen handed the note to Nightshade and said.

"The subordinates receive the order. Nightshade was commanded, turned away, and soon disappeared into the night, without a trace.

Qingchen didn't go to bed to rest, her mind was thinking about Xiao Yi's affairs, and her mind was turning a thousand times.

Why did Xiao Yi investigate the Ye family's murder case? It stands to reason that he has no friendship with the Ye family, and it can even be said that it has nothing to do with it. Don't...... Does Xiao Yi want to blame Xiao Ling's fault by overturning the case for the Ye family, and then achieve his own goal?

This time back to Ning Yue, everything was barely under control, and the only accident was Xiao Yi.

On the vast mountain, at the bottom of the green cliff valley, it seems that since that time, there has been a kind of entanglement between the two of them.

At this time, it was not only Mu Qingchen who couldn't sleep at night? Xiang Guifei's miscarriage turmoil made many people in the deep palace have relatives and have trouble eating and sleeping.

It was already late at night, but in the courtyard of the Purple Smoke Palace, more than a dozen palace people held palace lamps in their hands, illuminating the courtyard very brightly, and a slender figure swept the sword in his hand, and the powerful sword qi drove the fallen leaves on the ground to rise into the air, and then fell to the ground after circling, and then, his wrist flew over, and he pulled a beautiful sword flower, and a spin body, and the three-foot long sword in his hand entered the scabbard.

"Niangniang, it's late, let's rest, if Niangniang really wants to practice swords, you can wait until tomorrow during the day. Wen Qin came over and handed Gu Yanru a handkerchief.

"If the emperor doesn't come, the palace doesn't practice swords, what else can I do?" By the way, Wenqin, what do you say, how is my brother's martial arts?" Gu Yanru took the handkerchief handed over by Wenqin, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and asked.

"Childe's martial arts are naturally strong, and in the world, there are no more than seven people who can compare with him. Wen Qin put away Gu Yanru's sword and replied.

"Which seven?" Gu Yanru asked casually.

"Feng Xiran, the first master of martial arts, is now a saint, Lou Xiyu, the general of the Tianxing Kingdom, Luo Jin, the eldest son of Hou with a different surname, Wan Qijun, the warrior of Mobei, and the teacher of the Southern Xinjiang country, and ...... The late former queen, Ye Chengcheng. Wen Qin thought for a moment and slowly said the names of these people.

"Except for these, no one else?" Gu Yanru's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.

"Why did Niangniang say this?" Wen Qin was surprised.

"The princess of the Celestial Star Country...... On that day in the Heart Cultivation Palace, I don't know if you feel it, when Bengong pointed a sword at her, suddenly a powerful internal breath attacked Bengong, almost making Bengong stand unsteady, but Bengong didn't notice at all where this internal force came from. Gu Yanru said.

"That jade hook princess looks like a weak person, at that time, only the emperor and Lou Xiyu in the palace have this ability, presumably Lou Xiyu is behind her back to help her, Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it. Wen Qin said, comforting Gu Yanru.

"The emperor has arrived—" Gu Yanru was about to speak, but heard Qin Xi's voice sounding at the gate of the Purple Smoke Palace.

"Why is the emperor here now?" Gu Yanru heard the summons, her heart was overjoyed, she turned around and walked to the outer hall, wanting to greet her, but she didn't even have time to remind her to make up.

Gu Yanru had just walked to the door of the front hall, but saw that Xiao Ling had already come in, and she was busy stepping forward to salute.

"Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite, and Concubine Ai is the only one in this palace who is so straightforward and dares to come to see me like this. Xiao Ling helped Gu Yanru up with a smile and said.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the concubines are in a hurry, afraid that the emperor will wait for a long time, so they forget to change their clothes. lost the number of rudeness, and hoped that the emperor would not be strange. Gu Yanru listened to Xiao Ling's words and hurriedly explained.

"I don't blame you. There are many people in the palace who are willing to welcome you, you are such a straight person, I like it tightly, Allure was ...... back then" Xiao Ling smiled, but suddenly realized what he said, his eyes darkened, and he didn't speak again.

Gu Yanru didn't miss Xiao Ling's last two words, she was angry in her heart that Xiao Ling compared her to Ye Tingcheng, but she could only pretend that she didn't know anything and forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, please use tea. But at this moment, Ye Xi came over and offered tea to Xiao Ling.

The moment he lowered his head, the vague fragrance on his body drifted to the tip of Xiao Ling's nose with the air, which made him feel terrified, turned his head to look at Ye Xi, who looked indifferent, and said coldly:

"I didn't expect you to fall to such a point, and you didn't lose your mind, do you think that in this way, I won't kill you?"

Xiao Ling said, and actually grabbed Ye Xi's neck, his eyes were full of cold light, as if he wanted to devour Ye Xi alive.

After all, Ye Xi's existence undoubtedly reminded him that there was once a Ye Tingcheng who gave everything for him, but because of his ambition and desire, he died innocently in vain.

"The emperor wants to kill Ye Xi, it's just a matter of one sentence, but if the emperor really kills Ye Xi, it will disappoint Concubine Shu's intentions. Rao is Ye Xi couldn't breathe, but he still struggled to speak.

Gu Yan was unhappy when she mentioned Ye Lingcheng for Xiao Ling, and when she saw Ye Xi snatching Xiao Ling's attention, she secretly hated in her heart, but when she heard Ye Xi's words, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

When Xiao Ling heard this, he let go of Ye Xi and snorted coldly: "What does this have to do with Concubine Shu?"

"The reason why Concubine Niangniang saved the slave is because she knows that the emperor is in a predicament now, the Shen family is dominant, the queen mother is arbitrary, and the emperor wants to completely control the rights of Ningyue Kingdom, so he must solve these two things, and although Ye Xi is not talented, he has also studied with the young lady for many years, and there is always a way. Ye Xi said.

"I personally ordered Ye Tingcheng to send poisoned wine, and the Ye family's extermination case, do you really have no grudge in your heart?" Xiao Ling asked.

The three words of the door killing case were like a needle, piercing Ye Xi's heart fiercely, but Ye Xi could only remain silent, suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "I used to hold a grudge." ”

Remembering hatred is true, but it is already the past, and it is the false and real answers that make it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
