Chapter Ninety-Three: Dawn and Cold Spring (I)
Wang Rou disappeared, and the news was handed over by Qiu Ying.
At that time, Ji Chengche was busy in Lin Zongtang's Guanglu Officer's Office, and his heart was on fire in the dark.
Before the matter of Dong Tianshu's assassination could be found, the news came that Yan Jinshi and the coachman were found dead in a secluded alley.
As soon as Yan Jinshi died, Dong Tianshu's assassination case instantly became confusing and treacherous.
Yan Jinshi is different from Dong Tianshu. If the latter had not had Ji Cheng's clear eyes, he would still be an unknown Guozijian teaching doctor, while Yan Jinshi was the Guozijian sacrificial wine of Zhengsanpin, the cousin of Yan Zizhi, the empress of the Han Dynasty, and the cousin of the general Yan Qingwei, who was recognized as the backbone of the Hou Party.
Now that he died mysteriously and violently, Lin Zongtang is at the juncture of looking for him everywhere to return to the official office to cooperate with the investigation.
Is it murder, or is it another conspiracies, or is it a vendetta that has nothing to do with the case?
The truth is like the cold fog that permeates Tiandu City tonight, and no one can see it clearly.
Jinwu general Meng Haishan was anxious and had a bad face, and the prince of the country died in the city, he could not escape the blame, and he was about to be scolded by Emperor Longwu.
Fines and other things are trivial matters, and it is really difficult for Empress Yan and the general to have a bad relationship.
Sure enough, what are you afraid of, Queen Yan and the general have not arrived, and the eldest prince Ji has a half-swollen face and breaks into the Guanglu Lord's Office, and comes to Meng Haishan Xingshi to ask for the guilt.
He first went to Jin Wuwei's official office and didn't find anyone, so he rushed here, arrested Meng Haishan, grabbed his face and said coldly: "What the hell is going on, the murderer of the prince died in the carriage but escaped, how did you, the general of Jinwu?"
Meng Haishan had nowhere to vent his bitterness, and said with red eyes: "The lowly position is being investigated!"
"What are you talking about, incompetent!" Ji Qing was displeased, and said sharply: "If you can't catch the murderer within three days, you just ask!"
Meng Haishan also had a fiery temper, and when he heard the words, he said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is this what Your Majesty meant?"
Ji Qingqing was furious, slapped the table and said, "Are you talking to me?
Meng Haishan was already a person who was scorched by the fire anyway, and said coldly: "Don't dare, but please ask Your Highness to invite the Holy Decree, and you should obey the Holy Will." ”
Ji clarified where the holy decree and holy intent came from in his hand, and he was so angry that his hands trembled and pointed at Meng Haishan and scolded: "Dog material, you, you dare to despise me, are you not afraid that I will destroy your three clans?"
Meng Haishan said hesitantly: "Then we have to wait until His Royal Highness adds the yellow robe!"
Ji Qingqing's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Okay, good, I wrote down what you said!"
Lin Zongtang, who had been silent beside him, spoke at this time: "Your Highness, General Meng, everyone is angry about Lord Yan's affairs, why bother with their own family members to quarrel first, why not let the murderer hide in the dark and laugh?"
Ji Qing was quite jealous of Lin Zongtang, and forced his anger and said: "Then according to Lord Lin's opinion, how to find the murderer?"
Lin Zongtang said without being salty or light: "Peeling off the cocoon can bring out the water." ”
Ji Qingqing touched a soft nail, took a deep breath and said, "May I ask Lord Lin how to peel off the cocoon?"
Lin Zongtang smiled and said nothing, Ji Chengqing said lightly: "We will report the specific details to my father." ”
Ji Qingqing's cheeks were faintly painful, and when he heard Ji Chengqing's mouth, he burst into anger and said: "It's hard to guarantee that it's a thief shouting to catch a thief!"
Meng Haishan said angrily: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Ji Qingqing sneered: "Why do I need to find out, who wants to kill Yan Sai Jiu, who can kill Yan Sai Jiu, I believe everyone understands it very well in their hearts!"
Lin Zongtang frowned and said: "Your Highness, from last night's palm lamp to now, Your Royal Highness and the old minister have not left an inch. ”
Ji Qingqing glared at Ji Chengqing fiercely, sat down and said, "Okay, I'll be here to watch you handle the case and arrest the murderer!"
At this moment, someone came to the vengeful eagle and asked to see him.
Ji Chengche left Ji Qingqing to fight with Meng Haishan and Lin Zongtang, and came out to see Qiu Ying.
When he heard that Wang Rou had not returned all night and did not know where to go, Ji Cheng's heart was shocked.
If he wasn't worried that something would happen to Wang Rou on weekdays, and he could fight the vicissitudes of Bu, one of the eight murderers of the Metaverse, he would have the power to protect himself even in Tiandu City. What's more, Wang Rou is smart and cautious, far more capable than girls of the same age, and she can deal with real problems properly.
But last night's Jingshi was turbulent, and I don't know how many forces collided and competed in the dark, setting off stormy waves. If this girl is involved, no matter what the reason, the consequences are unpredictable.
But where would she go alone?
Ji Cheng's mind flashed with inspiration, and he remembered the two azure eyebrow shadows.
His brows furrowed inadvertently, and he paced slowly: "I know, you go back first and tell everyone that you don't have to go out in the past two days, and everyone is on guard." ”
Qiu Ying also smelled that the smell in Tiandu City was wrong, and immediately took the order and hurried away.
Ji Chengche stood under the dripping eaves, thinking carefully, hoping to find his head out of this mess.
But there was always Wang Rou's shadow floating in front of me, and I was somewhat uneasy, and I vaguely felt that something would happen to her.
Suddenly, I saw Ji Qingqing walking out of the official office angrily, and when he saw Ji Chengqing greeting him, he didn't go away.
There is no need to ask, he is on the same page with Lin Zongtang and Meng Haishan again, and he is sure to go to Queen Yan to complain.
Thinking about it, Ji Qingqing is also the eldest son of Emperor Longwu, and he is established as a grandson in accordance with the rules of the patriarchy, so he is very hopeful that he will take the throne of the future emperor of the Han Dynasty into his arms.
However, he has a violent and arrogant temperament and does not know how to advance or retreat, thinking that he is emulating his father everywhere, but in fact, he has not even learned a little bit of Ji Tianquan's skin, and he just follows his example.
No wonder Meng Haishan dared to confront him face to face, no one was optimistic that Emperor Longwu would pass the throne to this person a hundred years later.
You must know that Queen Yan is not just such a son.
Indeed, as Ji Cheng expected, Ji Qingqing went to see Empress Yan after leaving the Guanglu Lord's Office.
He added fuel and vinegar to tell what had happened, gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, Meng Haishan is arrogant and incompetent, I think General Jinwu should also be replaced!"
Yan Zizhi half leaned on the couch, and the incense of the water and clear leaves in front of him wafted up, gradually fading by the morning breeze, and a faint green smoke appeared.
Her body was covered with a snow-white fur, and she quietly listened to Ji Clarify's words, and sighed: "You are in such a hurry to solve the case, except for provoking Your Majesty's displeasure, it will not benefit you at all." ”
Ji clarified urgently: "But Meng Haishan deceived people too much, I suspect that he and Lin Zongtang colluded to ......."
"Lin Zongtang is a lonely minister, and so is Meng Haishan. ”
Yan Zizhi interrupted Ji to clarify, and said unhappily: "The only person they are loyal to is Your Majesty, so they will sit in the seats of Guangluxun and General Jinwu." One is in charge of the defense of the palace and the secret of the state, and the other is stationed in Beijing with heavy troops. Whoever wants to provoke them will provoke His Majesty. ”
Ji clarified the fire and said: "Then let Meng Haishan and Lin Zongtang run rampant?"
Yan Zizhi closed his eyes and waved his hand, not letting his son notice the disappointment in his heart, and said, "I'm tired." ”
"Queen Mother!" Ji Qingqing was stunned, and saw that Yan Zizhi had no reaction, so he had to stomp his feet away with hatred.
He left with his front foot, and a palace maid came in with his back foot to report: "Mr. Yan Kui has arrived." ”
Yan Zizhi said lazily: "Please come in." ”
The palace maid quietly retreated, and a middle-aged man in gray walked in steadily.
His clothes and hair were simple and neat, and he was meticulously tidy, and the whole person stood in front of Yan Zizhi's couch, like a straight javelin, revealing a terrifying edge anytime and anywhere, and even if he was a hundred steps away, he could feel the terrifying murderous aura from his body.
"Sir, please be seated. Yan Zizhi closed his eyes and said with a pleasant face: "I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”
Yan Kui stood still, his voice rubbing like a golden stone, and said, "You sent someone to get rid of Yan Jinshi?"
Yan Zizhi's eyes opened, stared at Yan Kui and said, "Isn't it your ......?"
The two exchanged glances in silence, and both saw the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"My man was a step late, and all I saw was the back of the killer, a young woman with an umbrella. ”
Yan Kui said slowly: "According to our original plan, we deliberately threw out Yan Jinshi, so that Lin Zongtang could find the head of Tianchi Zhenren along the vine." Now someone is deliberately cutting off the clue with unclear intentions. ”
"Yan Jinshi has a negative grace, damn it!" Yan Zizhi sat up straight, frowned and said, "But if this is self-defeating, Lin Zongtang will definitely suspect me." The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, what a ruthless hand!"
Yan Kui sneered: "Give me a few days, and I will dig out that female killer." ”
Yan Zizhi said: "The top priority is to clear my suspicion, and this matter will be Mr. Lao." ”
Yan Kui bowed his head and said: "Niangniang doesn't need to be polite, the old man should serve himself in this matter." I only need to throw some evidence of the secret collusion between Yan Jinshi and Tianchi Zhenren to Lin Zongtang, and I can't help but not be angry. ”
Yan Zizhi clapped his hands and said, "Good." ”
Yan Kui shook his head and said, "I may have some trouble recently, and I will leave Tiandu City for a few days if necessary." ”
Yan Zizhi was stunned and asked, "But is it because of Han Wuyi?"
Yan Kui was noncommittal, and said, "In case I don't give up, my people will keep in touch with you at any time." The code word 'Qingyuan' is. ”
Yan Zizhi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Sir, do you want me to help?"
Yan Kui said coldly and arrogantly: "This is the business of my Legalist sect, even if it is a mother, I can't interfere!"
Yan Zizhi said coldly: "You are acting rashly. ”
A cold smile escaped from his rock-hard lips, and he replied, "I'll deal with him properly." ”
Yan Zizhi ignored Yan Kui and said, "Okay, I don't care about your sect's grievances. The female killer dug three feet into the ground and wanted to find her. I want to live!"
Yan Kui owed and said, "As you wish." ”
Without waiting for Yan Zizhi to say anything more, he slowly stepped back and walked out of the door, never exposing his back to her.
Yan Zizhi sat quietly for a long time, and suddenly patted his jade palm and said, "The general can be in the mansion?"
The palace maid from before replied softly: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the general has gone to Tiandu Peak yesterday afternoon. ”
Yan Zizhi said coldly: "Immediately tell the general the news of Yan Jinshi's assassination, he naturally knows what to do." ”
"Yes. The maid quickly retreated.
Yan Zizhi got up and pushed open the window, and a fresh and cold morning breeze blew on his face.
Dongfang slightly flushed the belly of the fish, she stared at it with a hint of displeasure on her face, and muttered to herself: "A month and seven days, you are so disdainful of me?"
"Boom la la ......"
A flock of early birds flew past the window and looked far away in her gaze. (83 Chinese Net.)
