Chapter 81: The Inference of the Truth
Ye Feng calmly looked at the phoenix girl who was full of resentment, and said with a calm business: "You were only a few years old when the crime occurred, and what you saw was only some superficial things, and you may not really understand the whole story. ”
"Your father was arrogant and rude, and when King Zhongshan and King Kaiping were alive in the past, he could still restrain a little. When both of them died, there was no one in the army who could hold him down. ”
After making great contributions to the Northern Expedition, he was even more proud of his achievements and acted recklessly. When the class master returned to the court, he passed by Xifeng Pass, but because the general guarding the pass opened the door to greet him a little late, he destroyed the pass, broke into the door, killed and injured many soldiers and generals, and made the court very embarrassed. ”
He raised a large number of family Ding Zhuang slaves in the house, ran rampant and domineering, and forcibly occupied Dongchang people's land. Yushi went to investigate, and he actually ordered his subordinates to injure and drive Yushi away, causing an uproar in the government and the opposition. ”
What's more, after the Northern Expedition broke the Yuan, he actually took the concubine of the Yuan chief as his own and openly committed adultery in the army, causing the Yuan concubine to commit suicide in shame, which made Taizu angry. ”
There are many other such acts of his, not to mention them, so that Taizu originally wanted to crown him as the Duke of Liang Guo, but he temporarily changed it to the Duke of Liang Guo, and denounced his mistakes on the canonized edict, which is not only recorded, but also known to many officials in the court. ”
The phoenix girl lowered her head and didn't speak, Ye Feng sighed and continued: "At that time, your father was at the peak of his prestige in the army, and he was in charge of the promotion power in the army, and even overshadowed Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying. ”
But he didn't know how to restrain at all, and with his status as a relative of the emperor, if Prince Yiwen was still alive and could inherit the treasure, maybe he could still have some scruples. It's a pity that Prince Yiwen died early, and Emperor Taizu was sad and had to start thinking about the successor again. ”
"The new successor is the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen, he is young and thin, it is difficult to suppress these heroes and generals who hold heavy troops, plus your father's character, his words are invisible, and he acts domineeringly, how can he not arouse the vigilance of Emperor Taizu? Therefore, for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the smooth transfer of the Zhu family's imperial power, the Lanyu case inevitably happened. A large part of this is due to your father's character, and it is not entirely due to Emperor Taizu's ruthlessness. ”
His words seemed to have some truth, and the Phoenix girl was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly sneered: "What Ye Gongzi said was all found from the previous file, right?"
Ye Feng nodded in acknowledgement.
The phoenix girl smiled disdainfully and said: "Since ancient times, it has been a king who has been a king and a loser, history is written by the victors, and those files are naturally recorded by the emperor at the behest of historians, who knows how much of them are true and how many of them are false?
Ye Feng couldn't help but be a little speechless, what she said made sense.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, although Ye Feng did not have the opportunity to see Emperor Taizu himself with his own eyes, but judging from the situation of how many times he saw the current emperor Zhu Di, every time he felt that the emperor's mind was deep and unfathomable, and every time he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Who will know if after his death is a hero or a stinky shit in the eyes of the world? Posterity will only see the words on the cold books, and who will know what really happened?
Politics is always just a game played by those in power, and all the people in the world are just pawns in his hands.
Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
Seeing that he was silent, the Phoenix girl pursed her lips and said, "Even if Ye Gongzi is smart and unparalleled, and guessed that I was Lan Yu's daughter back then, so what? What else do you know?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said slowly: "I also know that you are not only trying to help our Fan Zhutou in Xi'an City, but also for other purposes. ”
"Oh?" said the Phoenix girl, who seemed interested, "but tell me what other purpose I have?"
Ye Feng stared at the ground with his eyes, and said lightly without raising his head: "The five hundred Jinwuwei soldiers who died in the valley, and the old man you rescued from the big iron box! I think these must be related to your operation, right?"
Fan Jin didn't seem to know anything about what Ye Feng said
Love, looked at the phoenix girl a little blankly: "What Jin Wuwei, what old man?"
But the phoenix girl's face suddenly became very surprised, and she blurted out, "You, how did you know?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "You poisoned five hundred Jinwuwei soldiers with Gu poison in the valley and rescued the old man from the iron box, maybe because the old man was seriously injured and difficult to move, or maybe because you received an order from the Xuanyuan prince behind you to come here to deal with me, so you took him to Xi'an City and quietly placed him in the death row of the Mansion Prison through the secret passage in the Red Sleeve Move." ”
"This hand is indeed clever, the death of the five hundred gold Wuwei The imperial court will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely send people to investigate and pursue it with all their might, but no one would have thought that the person they want to arrest would be hidden on death row. ”
"It's just that what you didn't expect was that the person sent by the imperial court to investigate this case found me for help, so I was able to know the murder of the five hundred Jin Wuwei in that valley and some of its details. ”
"The five hundred Jin Wuwei did not die of poisoning, but more like they died of the plague, and it so happened that there was also an outbreak of plague in Xi'an City, which made it natural for me to link the two together. ”
"Originally, after discovering that you were poisoned in the Red Sleeve Move, we followed the secret passage to find the prison behind the mansion, and we did fall into your trap and began to be suspicious of the prefect Zhao. It's a pity that when you took the old man from prison, you poisoned and killed the cell boss for fear of leaking secrets, and this superfluous act instead reminds us of his death to the Five Poisons Sect. ”
"Since the cell boss is dead, it must be related to the prison, and it is easy for us to find out that a while ago on death row in the prison, there was a mysterious old man who suddenly appeared, but disappeared inexplicably. The old man was wounded, and this was linked to the bloody iron rings in the iron box. At this time, it can be determined that the poisoning of the valley that killed the five hundred gold guards was also a member of the Five Poisons Sect. ”
"In addition, you poisoned the second brother by Jie, and its purpose should be clearly aimed at me. And I came to Xi'an City to meet the people of the old Sun family in Guanzhong here. After learning the identity of your Ten Palaces Yama, it is natural for me to judge that the reason why you are using Gu poison to create a plague here must be because my whereabouts have been leaked, and you have been ordered by Prince Xuanyuan The main purpose is to get rid of those people from the Guanzhong Lao Sun family who are waiting for me here. And I appeared at this time, so you want to solve it with me by the way. ”
He smiled at the Phoenix Girl and asked, "I don't know if I'm right?"
The Phoenix girl didn't answer, but the look of shock on her face had already proved Ye Feng's words.
After a long time, she sighed lightly and said: "No wonder it is rumored in the world that you are the smartest person in the world, I didn't believe it before, but people exaggerated and boasted, and now it seems that you can deduce almost the entire truth with this little clue, and you are indeed very capable." ”
She paused and said, "Yes, the main purpose of the reason why I created a plague in Xi'an City is to get rid of the people of the Guanzhong Old Sun family who are waiting for you here. It's just that attacking Gongzi Xie and you is not a planned thing, it is completely sudden**. ”
"After you entered the city yesterday, Fan Gongzi came to see me in a hurry, wanting to inform me of the news, but he didn't want to arouse the vigilance of Gongzi Xiang, so he secretly followed him outside the Red Sleeve Move. ”
"In fact, at that time, he lost Fan Gongzi, and he didn't know that Fan Gongzi was in the Red Sleeve Move, and I didn't want to attack you, but the next morning, he came to the Red Sleeve Trick to find me, which made me wonder if he noticed something. ”
"In addition, from the conversation with him, I know that you have locked the suspicion on the body of the Five Poisons Sect Lan Pozi, although you don't know that I am the Lan Pozi, and you are still looking for an old woman with great fanfare, but I still feel that the danger is approaching. ”
"So, I decided to attack Gongzi Xie and you, largely because I was very curious about your fame, and I wanted to see how powerful you, known as the smartest person in the world, could be. ”
"I unknowingly poisoned Gongzi Xie, calculated the time and waited until he ran back to the inn before attacking, and deliberately made up about an old lady of different races
Mother's story tells him, and I expect him to run back to the inn to inform you. ”
"So I put poison on his clothes, and if you see your brother fall in front of you, you will not turn a blind eye, but if you touch his clothes, you will be poisoned. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, but in the end, it was not you who were poisoned, but your other brother, that Zhang Fat. ”
Ye Feng nodded, and sighed secretly in his heart, if Tang Da hadn't happened to come back at that time and even grabbed him, I'm afraid it would have been as she expected, and it would be herself who was poisoned.
This woman is so young and scheming!
The phoenix girl continued: "I have already sent someone to follow Gongzi Xie, and when I received a report that it was not you Ye Gongzi who was poisoned, I expected that sooner or later you would definitely find the Red Sleeves here." ”
So I immediately arranged to pick up the old man on death row, and for the sake of secrecy, I poisoned the cell head who took bribes to help us settle the old man. It's not that I don't know it's wrong, but this cell boss is greedy and cowardly, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't betray you about the clues, and I can't take any chances, so I have no choice. ”
"After arranging all this, I gave myself the poison, in fact, I was ready, I took the antidote in advance, and calculated the time to wake up at night. I have already thought about it, as long as I can kill this Cheng girl, not only will you have no hope of relieving the plague, but you will also be so distraught that you will no longer have the heart to pursue the truth. ”
She sighed: "But what I didn't expect is that your Ye Gongzi's cleverness is really beyond my imagination, and he was able to track down me with a little bit of clues, and almost deduced the truth of the whole thing." I really admire that. ”
"But," she suddenly smiled a little smugly, "doesn't Ye Gongzi think that you deduced that it seems to be a little late for all this?"
Ye Feng asked, "Why?"
A cruel glint flashed in the Phoenix girl's eyes: "Even if you know my identity and deduce the truth of everything, you are only one person now, even if you don't use martial arts, it will be easy to deal with you and this Cheng girl of yours by means of my poisoning." Once you die, nothing will change, and no one will be able to break our plans. ”
Ye Feng nodded, indeed, with the Phoenix girl's amazing poisoning methods, this is indeed not bragging.
But his complexion did not change at all, and he still looked confident, looking at the phoenix girl with a smile.
Fan Jin on the side also echoed at this time: "Yes, once you die, no one will know the truth anymore, my official position here is the highest, whatever I say is what I say, I said that it was the people from the Five Poisons Sect who came to attack and kill you, naturally no one will suspect it." ”
Ye Feng only smiled when he heard this, noncommittal.
His reaction made the Phoenix girl feel a little hesitant, but now he can still be so calm, could it be that there is nothing to do?
After thinking for a moment, the phoenix girl's face suddenly changed, as if she remembered something, and blurted out: "No, something is wrong here!"
Fan Jin on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The Phoenix girl stared at Ye Feng with her eyes and asked, "I have never mentioned anything about my childhood to others, how do you know......?"
She was stunned, and suddenly rejected her idea very firmly: "No, it can't be, it won't be him!"
Ye Feng looked at her and nodded: "That's right, it's indeed him, he told me all this, and because of this, I really believe that you are the person we are looking for!"
The Phoenix girl was shocked and lost her voice: "This is impossible! He should still be in a poisoned coma now!"
Ye Feng shook his head slowly: "It's a pity, he has already woken up!"
As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden brightness outside the door, and many people dressed in official clothes appeared in the courtyard, holding torches, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
The person standing at the head, with a deep eagle nose and a gloomy face, is the chief arrester of the Criminal Department!
Behind him, there were two people helping a figure slowly walk out, but it was Ye Feng's brother-in-law, Xie Zhenliang!
