Chapter 740, Midnight Terror

On the third day of Tang Jiu's life and death in the Chu family's manor, Chu Zilie and Duan Caiyu, who were under house arrest in the east wing of Xingqing Garden, still refused to recruit anything. Fortunately, Shui Ruyue and Xin Zhiping looked at the face of Queen Chu Fengying, and they did not embarrass these two people too much. Proudly beaten by several wolf soldiers of the guard, she was torn to death, but she still insisted that it was the husband and wife of the country who instructed her to murder the prince. He also pointed out that the name of Duan Caiyu was hidden in the lid of the small box containing the medicine.

Xin Zhiping took the small black box, inspected it carefully, and sure enough, he found three small characters in the corner of the box lid, which were Duan Caiyu. Now, it can be regarded as having physical evidence, Xin Zhiping personally interrogated Chu Zilie, Duan Caiyu and his wife again, the two were still shouting grievances, Duan Caiyu said that she didn't recognize the box, and she didn't know why there was her name in the box.

Duan Caiyu asked rhetorically: "Master Ma, if there is your name in that box, can it prove that it was poisoned by you, or is it poisoned by you instructing others? Who is crazy and carves his name in the box used for poisoning?" Xin Zhiping was speechless for a while. Chu Zilie and Duan Caiyu both asked to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and the empress, and ask someone from Dongwei to try the case, otherwise they would not be able to defend themselves if they were framed.

Chu Zilie said helplessly: "Master Ma, you are the people of King Wei's Mansion, you must be facing King Wei, King Wei died in my manor, and I can't explain it." However, if this case is tried by your guards, it will inevitably have some false intentions for public and private interests, and it will be difficult to convince the public, and who doesn't want to have a personal vendetta with the Guards Association?

Xin Zhiping leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and said after a while: "Lord Guozhang, this Lou Zi is so big that I don't even know how to explain it to the imperial court! I believe that maybe you have been wronged, but how do you let the imperial court deal with this matter? The dignified prince of a country died in your manor, and I couldn't help even if I tried to save you! This proud mouth is harder than a dead duck, what do you think I should do?"

Chu Zilie looked at Duan Caiyu, who was stunned, and sighed, "Master Ma, I can also understand your difficulty! The problem is that now we are all in this bureau, and we can't get out! What can you do if you want me? I am a dignified national abbot, Cheng Pingbo, and suddenly become a prisoner! If it weren't for the privileges of your guards, who would dare to put me under house arrest and lock me up? My Chu family still has 8,000 elite soldiers!"

Xin Zhiping stood up and said quietly: "I advise you and your wife to eat well and live well, if this is not done by your husband and wife, you will still have a chance to prove your innocence!" Xin Zhiping put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and left the east wing with a heavy face. In the east wing of Xingqing Garden of the Chu family's manor, the husband and wife of the country were imprisoned, and they were afraid that if they spread out, they would make people laugh and lose their big teeth.

After nightfall, Duan Caiyu and Chu Zilie rested on the couch after eating the dinner sent by Xiaowei, and Xiaowei was not too embarrassed for the two of them. The two men did not hold the lamp, but were silent in the dark, and neither of them spoke. I don't know how long it took, Chu Zilie suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, let you suffer with me! This is really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven, such an injustice is not in vain, you must try your best to wash the snow!"

Duan Caiyu sighed and said: "Old man, I just think this is too strange, why do you insist that we instructed her to poison and kill the prince? Who was she instructed to do, and why did she wear a mask to deceive us for two years? She was obviously twenty years old, and she was eighteen years old two years ago, but why did she look like she was only eleven or twelve years old at that time? I really don't understand!"

Chu Zilie laughed heartily and said: "There are some things, if you don't understand it, you won't understand it! Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky!"

Suddenly, someone in the room smiled gloomily: "It's rare, Lord Guozhang can really see it! Being locked up here by others, they are so unhurried and impatient! That's right, life and death are fateful, alas, pitiful, the lives of Lord Guozhang and his wife are about to come to an end!" Chu Zilie and Duan Caiyu were shocked when they heard this person's voice, who would appear in this house in the middle of the night?

Chu Zilie shouted and asked, "Who are you?" Chu Zilie suddenly felt that this voice was very familiar, pondered for a moment, and said in surprise: "Are you coming to Shun?"

Lai Shun smiled in the dark: "Lord Guozhang has good ears, Lai Shun is here to repay his kindness and save Lord Guozhang!"

Chu Zilie said: "I heard the day before yesterday that your mother passed away, so you rushed back to mourn." But I have no choice but to lock me up here, and I can't move freely, so I can't give you two taels of silver and let you bury your old lady! Why did you come back so quickly? Your mother's funeral was done so quickly?" Chu Zilie felt a little strange in his heart, the servants in the house were all called masters, how could he change his name to Lord Guozhang today? Besides, there were guards guarding this wing, how did he get in?

Lai Shun suddenly sighed in the darkness: "Lord Guozhang, I'm really sorry, I've been hiding from you for several years, my mother is actually not my mother, she is not dead, my real mother has been dead for several years!

Chu Zilie was surprised: "Your mother is not your mother? What is this? Come to Shun, you are confused with me!"

Lai Shun smiled and said: "Lord Guozhang, in fact, I am from the Lingnan Palace, and I went undercover to your mansion, together with Proud and Linlang, they are all from the Lingnan Palace, this time Tang Jiusheng's death is the poison of the Proud, of course, the medicine I brought in from outside the mansion, it is the medicine that the young Marquis of Wei Chi found someone to dispense, Tang Jiu is alive and dead, and this murderous pot is only carried by Lord Guozhang and his wife!"

Chu Zilie said in a creepy manner: "Could it be that the matter of marrying Linlang is also to deceive our husband and wife, is it a bureau set up by you? a careful bureau? Being proudly sold by your father and brother is also a bureau, a good game?"

Lai Shun clapped his hands and said: "Lord Guozhang is so smart! Actually, I came tonight, and I also came back to kill Lord Guozhang and Mrs., of course, there are already people over there who have solved the smugness, after all, only the dead can't speak! As soon as Lord Guozhang and Mrs. Guozhang die, they will also die proudly, and you will have this pot on your back! You can rest assured, your Chu family's industrial estate, together with your Chu family's 8,000 elite soldiers, will soon be taken over, and the young Marquis of Wei Chi has been thinking about it for a long time!"

Chu Zilie suddenly smiled and said: "Come Shun, you kid is joking with me again, aren't you afraid that I will call someone to come?
