Chapter 505: Follow-up Investigation III (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
A black shadow, like a night ghost, quietly flashed into Yu Shang'an's study, and the slight wind shook the candle flame on the table.
The person who entered the study silently was dressed in black, with thin and fair cheeks, and a handsome appearance, and the Ruicao lying on the window lattice recognized at a glance that the person who came was Lin Zhengyi, the personal guard of the great prince.
Lin Zhengyi, a man dressed in black, was still expressionless, he quickly walked around the house, and then reached out and opened the big box that Seocho had checked before.
However, he only glanced inward, and then quickly closed it again. Then grope around the outside of the box, as if to check for a mezzanine.
Soon, Lin Zhengyi also found the locked small door blocked by the big box, and immediately stretched out his hand.
At this moment, the sound of someone talking was heard in the courtyard outside the house, and footsteps soon sounded at the door.
Lin Zheng hurriedly dodged, hiding in the corner between the cabinet and the bed, and used the curtain next to the bed to block his body.
Yu Gengxian, who was wearing a pink heavy dress, held a middle-aged woman and pushed the door and walked in.
"Mother, what are you looking for in your father's study?"
Mrs. Yu, who had round cheeks, did not answer, and walked straight to the big box where the imperial objects in the palace were stored, and reached out to open it.
Seeing her mother taking those imperial things from inside the box, Yu Gengxian grabbed her mother's wrist: "Mother, what are you doing, do you also believe that your father will not come back?"
Mrs. Yu, who had a sad expression, held Yu Gengxian's hand: "Your father has indeed done a lot of corrupt things, but for his mother to understand him, he doesn't have the courage to kill the Nineteenth Prince." You think, your father is the brother of Concubine Xian, and the person who dares to frame him is not an ordinary person. Before, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent someone to inform the nineteenth prince that the body had been found, and there was no news after that, and I had a bad feeling. ”
Mrs. Yu said, and continued to take things out of the box again, and then stuffed them into Yu Gengxian's hand.
"If you hold these things, if something really happens to your father, you will also have this money to defend yourself in the future, and life will not be too hard. ”
Yu Gengxian, whose eyes were moist, put the things in her hand on the table, hugged her mother, and tears flowed down at once.
"Mother, I believe that my father has not done those things, nothing will happen to us in the mansion, and Concubine Xian will protect us. ”
In the study, the mother and daughter couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, but after crying, Mrs. Yu still asked Yu Gengxian very sensibly to move all the valuables in the box to her room.
After the mother and daughter left, Lin Zhengyi, who was like a shadow, flashed out from behind the bed curtains, bent down again, and stretched out his hand to the locked cabinet below.
Because of the angle of sight, Chickadee Seocho couldn't see how Lin Zhengyi opened the cabinet, but she saw that Lin Zhengyi didn't make any other movements after opening the cabinet, just quietly looked inside the cabinet a few times, then closed the cabinet again, locked the lock, and then flashed and left the house.
Seocho did not follow Lin Zhengyi, but waited in the house for a while before turning into a human form again, using witchcraft to freeze into a key, open the lock, and pull the cabinet door.
There were several bags of tea in the knee-high cabinet, which were exactly the same as the tea leaves given to Huanxianglou Qingyan before, and on top of these bags of tea, two bags had notes pasted on them, with two names written on them, one was Shen Guogong and the other was Prince Nineteen.
Seocho reached out and picked up two packets of tea leaves with names on them and sniffed them, then picked up another unnamed tea bag and sniffed them, then frowned.
She was very sure that the tea bag with the name on it had been left untouched, smelled strange, and might have been poisoned like the one given to Qing Yan. Zilang literature
When Lin Zhengyi opened the cabinet just now, his hands didn't move, what the things in the cabinet looked like before, what they looked like now.
Therefore, these things were prepared by Yu Shang'an.
Therefore, Yu Shang'an had long had the idea of poisoning the Nineteenth Prince.
It's just that he used a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, not only getting rid of the nineteenth prince, but also framing the eldest prince.
Ruicao, who had newly locked the cabinet, turned into a body again, flew out of Yufu, flew into the alley next to it, and got into the carriage of Mufu.
Looking at Seocho, who had changed back to her human form, Mu Yirong stuffed the stove in her hand into her hand and asked if she was in any danger?
Seocho shook her head and said everything was going well, but she had just bumped into Lin Zhengyi in the mansion.
Just after hearing Yu Gengxian's narration, Mu Yirong also had some doubts about the eldest prince in his heart, and heard that Ruicao bumped into Lin Zhengyi, who was superb in martial arts and loyal to the eldest prince, and couldn't help but ask with worried concern again: "Did he hurt you?"
Seocho shook her head again, and then locked the cabinet in Shang'an's study, and told Mu Yirong what it contained.
After listening to this, Mu Yirong pinched his chin, fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "The tea leaves in the cabinet indirectly prove that Yu Shang'an poisoned Qing Yan and still has the intention of killing the Nineteenth Prince. ”
After saying this, Mu Yirong fell silent, since it was really Yu Shang'an who poisoned Qing Yan, then the testimony that Chuizhu said was true.
From this, it can also be deduced that the body found by the man in black is the nineteenth prince who has been missing for a long time.
Ruicao, who looked at Mu Yirong's face, hesitated and spoke: "Do we still want to continue to look for the Nineteenth Prince?"
Mu Yirong, who had been silent for a long time, finally shook his head: "Don't look for it." ”
Now there is no clue that the Nineteenth Prince is still alive, and there is no clue that can guide the two to continue looking for work, and the current situation, Mu Yirong and Ruicao, who are black-eyed, actually don't know where to start.
At this time, it was already past midnight, and the rooster was about to crow, looking at the shoulder that Seocho had been injured by an arrow before, Mu Yirong took her into his arms.
"Go back and rest! You're too tired these days. ”
"Won't you regret it?"
Maybe the Nineteenth Prince is still alive and waiting for someone to save him, if Mu Yirong gives up, then there is really no one who can save the Nineteenth Prince who may still be alive.
Seocho was worried that if they found out in the future, because of the abandonment at this moment, they missed the opportunity to save the Nineteenth Prince, Mu Yirong would regret it very much, and he was afraid that he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
Mu Yirong's arm stroking Seocho's back became stiff, to be honest, he really couldn't let go of the matter of the Nineteenth Prince, and he always felt that the Nineteenth Prince was not dead, and felt that the current case context that seemed to be clearly organized was very unreal.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yirong finally opened his mouth and asked Ruicao, "Do you have any ideas?"
