"My lord, I see it clearly. It is him. Xu Qinghe and Wang Han have been guarding the west gate for a year. He is one of the people who know Wang Han best. He looked very carefully outside the gate just now and confirmed that it is indeed Wang Han. .”
After Lu Xiao said this, Yan Qi's faint uneasiness dissipated.
Yan Chi was stronger than he had imagined, but he just didn't know how powerful he was. Although they had reached a deal this time, he was afraid that Yan Chi would trip him up.
He was not a good stubble at all, but he grew up in the capital anyway, and he likes to look good in everything, Yan Chi is different, he has been soaked in the flames of war in Shuoxi for ten years, and he is used to blood and blood. Deceit is less important than him.
Yan Qi pondered for a moment, "Go and ask, don't use torture first, and see his attitude."
Lu Xiao snorted, "This subordinate sees no need to use torture. Just now, this subordinate made a test, but he recruited them all. He said that His Highness Chi found him outside the city. At that time, he was planning to return to the capital to get the money he deposited. But he didn't want to be bumped into by the queen's men and was almost killed. It was His Highness Chi who saved him, and he still looks very grateful for His Highness Chi... "
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows, and his smile was a little weird, he saved someone, got his gratitude, but in the end he sold him out.
Yan Chi, Yan Chi, why didn't I know you had such a temper before.
"What else? What else did you say?"
Lu Xiao said, "I haven't asked about the empress, but he should know that the queen intends to get rid of him soon. If I don't say it, we won't bypass him here. I think the prince will ask me personally." .”
Yan Qi snorted, "It's not worth it for me to ask it myself, you go and interrogate it first."
Lu Xiao nodded, and saw Yan Qi looking at the list of names, so he said, "Your Highness really wants to help His Highness Chi?"
Yan Qi squinted his eyes, full of reluctance and reconciliation, but he knew that Yan Chi would know if he helped, Yan Qi rubbed his eyebrows, he couldn't bear to deal with a crown prince, and now another one seemed to be coming. Yan Chi, who is not a friend but an enemy!
"Tell Zheng Xincheng, let him save people, if he can take it for his own use, then take it for his own use, if not, just seize power, keep the person first, then Lin Xugui is not one of us after all, so don't give him too much face."
Lu Xiao understood Yan Qi's meaning, responded and turned around and walked out.
Although the news spread, Yan Qi's dissatisfaction grew more and more. With this order, Yan Chi's request was fulfilled, but he felt like Yan Chi was forcing him with a knife, and he couldn't give in. a feeling of.
Gritting his teeth, Yan Qi slammed his fist on the desk.
Two hours later, Wang Han's testimony fell on Yan Qi's table.
Looking at the evidence, Yan Qi frowned, "So, the queen removed Song Xiwen, just wanting to prove that King Jin killed Concubine Jin?" The more Yan Qi looked at it, the more unbelievable it became, "The queen interrogated Song Xiwen, and she also planned to bring Song Xiwen went to the Jin Palace to frame the King Jin, but Song Xiwen refused, committed suicide in the Jin Palace, and was buried in the backyard?"
Yan Qi was helpless, "There were people in Prince Jin's mansion at that time, right?"
Lu Xiao also frowned and said, "At that time, Prince Jin's Mansion...has been sealed, but...Wang Han said that they went to Prince Jin's Mansion late at night, and the main courtyard at that time had already been searched once by the inner palace. The subordinates were dismissed, and no one dared to go to the main courtyard..."
Yan Qi looked at Lu Xiao, "Why is it so strange... The queen wants to frame King Jin, just send her own people there, why did she bring Song Xiwen back to King Jin's mansion?"
Lu Xiao said, "Because only Song Xiwen knows where King Jin's secret room is. Song Xiwen said that the evidence of the relationship between Concubine Jin and King Jin can be placed in the secret room. Wang Han said that at first Song Xiwen pretended to agree to the queen, but in the end... he arrived at King Jin's mansion." Song Xiwen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, so a dispute arose, and Song Xiwen died in the end."
Yan Qi frowned, "When a person dies, just bury him on the spot? Who was in charge at that time? If it was the queen's person, it wouldn't be so bad..." Yan Qi was about to say the word "brain". But at the end of the day, he felt that this possibility was not impossible. Song Xiwen was already dead, and it was impossible to bring a dead person back to the palace and bury him on the spot. Who would have thought that there would be a dead person in the Jin Palace
People are usually like this, when they think too much, they tend to doubt everything and come up with a set of truths about everything, so it looks like it is fake, and it may be true when it looks fake...
"I don't know who it is. Wang Han only helped to let people out of the palace. After learning about the inside story from Zhu Yucheng, Zhu Yucheng's death is our biggest loss!"
Yan Qi felt a little weird in his heart, but subconsciously wanted to believe Wang Han's words!
Because Wang Han's words met his expectations, as long as the queen can be proved guilty, then Wang Han's words are the truth!
"Since it was the queen who wanted to frame King Jin, it seems that the death of King Jin was also the work of the queen?"
Lu Xiao nodded, "Since it's not us, it must be the East Palace... King Jin occupies a word 'long' above the prince. .”
Yan Qi looked at Lu Xiao, and said for a while, "Do you think this is weird..."
Lu Xiao looked at Yan Qi, "Your Highness doesn't believe Wang Han's words?"
Yan Qi rubbed his chin, "It's not that he doesn't believe in Wang Han, it's that he doesn't believe in Yan Chi."
"Then His Highness also promised to delay His Royal Highness's succession..."
Yan Qi narrowed her eyes, "A title is nothing, Yang Han will do it."
Lu Xiao nodded, "Then what should we do next? Push Wang Han out?"
Yan Qi waved his hand, "Wang Han's words don't count, let alone he doesn't know who did this for the queen..."
Lu Xiao frowned, "Your Highness, there is another question."
Yan Qi looked at Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao said, "If King Jin is not the murderer who killed Concubine Jin, how did Concubine Jin die?"
Speaking of Concubine Jin, Yan Qi frowned again, he was a little dazed for a moment, he only got involved in this case to bring down the crown prince, why did he now act as if he was the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment or the Minister of Dali Temple!
Yan Qi likes to plot, but it doesn't mean that he likes to think about these messy cases, but he just wants to bring down the prince, so he has to sort out this case. How nice a person should be, but Zheng Baishi belongs to the prince, and Qin Wan is the wife and sister of the prince, leaving only Li Muyun...
By the way, Li Muyun...
Yan Qi pondered for a moment, "This matter has to be discussed in the long term. Zheng Baishi and Qin Wan are on guard for now, but Li Muyun is a man who can be used..."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness wants to use Li Muyun?"
Yan Qi nodded, and suddenly said meaningfully, "Don't forget, he helped us last year."
Lu Xiao didn't know what he thought of, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Speaking of which, it's really surprising that he will help us."
Yan Qi's lips curled up coldly, and he didn't say any more for a while.
…
…
In Qin's mansion to the west, Qin Wan said, "Will Yan Qi believe this arrangement?"
Yan Chi said firmly, "I will believe it. If Wang Han said that the matter of last year had nothing to do with the queen, he would probably be suspicious. He believed that the queen had a ghost in her heart. Now that Wang Han's words confirmed his guess, how could he? to doubt?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "I didn't expect you to make such an arrangement..."
The infighting between Yan Qi and the Crown Prince has not lasted for a day or two. Yan Qi has taken advantage of Yan Chi this time, but he doesn't know that Yan Chi has already arranged everything. Yan Chi said, "You want to investigate this case, Yan Qi wants to Bring down the prince, if that's the case, let him help us investigate."
Qin Wan pursed her lips and said, "Most likely he will keep this matter from Zheng Baishi, and he won't tell me, so Li Muyun is the only one left."
Yan Chi nodded, "Aren't you suspicious of Li Muyun, then let's see how Li Muyun will choose this time."
Qin Wan felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and suddenly felt that Yan Chi's plan to replace Li Tao with rigidity was really a lie. With Yan Qi's position and identity, it was very appropriate for him to take the lead in investigating this case. The fake Wang Han's words almost made Yan Qi affirm that King Jin was arrested. Injustice, in this way, clearing the king of Jin and bringing down the prince became the same thing, Yan Qi will definitely spare no effort.
But... the arrangements here are in order, another question floated up in Qin Wan's heart.
"We all know that this is just a story we made up on the spur of the moment. Wang Han didn't find the place where last year's body was buried at the foot of Qiwu Mountain, and he couldn't verify whether the body was moved. Until now, we don't know whether the body in the backyard is Song Xiwen. , and how did it appear, is there anyone similar to Song Xiwen beside King Jin?"
Not only do they all have foreign blood, they are similar in height, and they even have similar injuries...
Unless King Jin had another guard who always acted with Song Xiwen.
However, Yan Chi shook his head, "No, my people didn't find out. King Jin's most trusted bodyguard is Song Xiwen."
A chill suddenly shot up Qin Wan's spine. Although she did not hesitate to identify the corpse as Song Xiwen, there was no other way. Only in this way could the last year's case be uncovered and re-investigated. .
But if... this corpse was put there on purpose, what purpose did this person have
"The possibility of a coincidence is too small. I'm a little uneasy. We let Yan Qi become our pawn. Could it be... that we have already become someone else's pawn?" Qin Wan had deep worries in his eyes.
Yan Chi naturally thought of this, "It's possible that Song Xiwen's real body is still at the foot of Mount Qiwu, and we just haven't found it. When Wang Han went there last year, it was dark, and the terrain of the ravine at the foot of Mount Qiwu was very chaotic and complicated. They all look the same, it's normal that he can't remember clearly, and the corpse in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion may be..."
Yan Chi wanted to say that it might be a corpse that appeared a long time ago, but Qin Wan determined the time of death after an autopsy.
Between June and July last year, at that time, the King Jin case was really making waves.
It is impossible for King Jin's backyard to have a murder unrelated to King Jin's case.
And if the deceased was not Song Xiwen, how many mysteries remained unsolved? !
And if the corpse was really Song Xiwen, then another creepy possibility would be revealed.
Someone moved the corpse on purpose, and after a year, used this method to forcibly uncover last year's case. Just in time, he met Qin Wan who wanted to investigate the old case, so everything started logically.
Yan Chi pursed the corners of his lips tightly, "You said the thing you found was called Wufanzi?"
When Yan Chi asked, Qin Wan immediately nodded, and Yan Chi thought of what Bai Feng said back.
The ravine in the southeast of Qiwu Mountain is extremely deep, the terrain is complex and changeable, and there are dense forests. Bear the fruit of black rice.
Yan Chi grabbed Qin Wan's hand, "The best thing is that we have a coincidence, the corpse is irrelevant, and the real Song Xiwen is lying at the foot of Mount Qiwu, we just need to use Song Xiwen's name to open up the old case."
Qin Wan looked into Yan Chi's eyes, "Then what if it's the worst?"
Yan Chi brushed her cheeks and smiled, "There is no worst, as long as you can find out the truth, you will have no fear of good or bad. As for the good and evil intentions of the person behind it, leave it to me."
Qin Wan's heart suddenly relaxed, yes, no matter what purpose this person had, Yan Chi was by her side, which made her feel at ease and fearless, "Hey, maybe our thinking is too complicated, Now there is no one in Prince Jin’s Mansion back then, but I really don’t believe that everyone in Prince Jin’s Mansion has been exterminated, let alone He Zhaoyi.”
This is a name that Qin Wan and Yan Chi seldom mention. It is King Jin's biological mother, He Zhaoyi.
He Zhaoyi was a concubine favored by the emperor before he entered the palace. Because of his low status, even after giving birth to the eldest son of the emperor, he was only named Zhaoyi. After King Jin committed suicide by taking poison, He Zhaoyi also hanged himself in the palace.
It was rumored that the relationship between King Jin and his biological mother was not close, so He Zhaoyi died quietly on the cusp of the storm.
But after all, she has been a royal concubine for many years, and maybe she had other arrangements before her death.
Yan Chi smiled, "If you don't tell me, I've forgotten about her. This person gave birth to her eldest son as a maidservant. The method was not simple. Starting tomorrow, I will have someone investigate her life .”
Qin Wan nodded. Although she had so many worries, she was still satisfied with the result in front of her. She only hoped that Yan Qi would not let her down. This was Qin Wan's most unchangeable obsession. Anxiety caused by rice.
Yan Chi pulled Qin Wan into his arms, but his eyes dimmed slightly.
Wu Fanzi, it happened to be Wu Fanzi, he had a bad premonition.
If that person was just trying to find out the old case from last year, that's all.
But if not, what is he doing it for
The cool autumn wind came in through the crack of the window, Yan Chi tightened his arms, and suddenly felt that there was a gloomy eye hiding somewhere around him, hiding in a place where the light could not be seen, where they were unaware When he saw that Qin Wan had hidden Wu Fanzi, that Wang Han had fallen into Yan Chi's hands, that the Queen and the East Palace were implicated and that the old case of last year was revealed, he showed a creepy look. Smile.
