Show off
Yue Ning frowned, and quickly opened the curtains.
Taking a closer look, he really saw Zhan Yang riding on horseback outside.
Seeing Yue Ning, Zhan Yang cupped his hands and cupped his fists, "It's really the princess, and I'll pay my respects to the princess."
Yue Ning let out a smile, "Why is Zhanbutou here?"
Zhan Yang said, "At the beginning of the month, there was a murder case in the south of the city, and now we are investigating. When I was riding by just now, I saw the princess's carriage. I recognized it at the time, but I thought the princess was busy, so I didn't pay attention to it. , Turning back now, I saw the princess's carriage still parked here, so I came up to say hello."
The corners of Yue Ning's lips twitched, "There was something to do, but I was not sure in my heart, so I thought about it for a while, and made the head catch laugh."
Said that Bi Yuening looked at Zhan Yang again, Zhan Yang came to say hello, probably not just to say hello to her.
Sure enough, Zhan Yang said in a low voice, "Princess, can I take a step to speak?"
Yue Ning knew that Zhan Yang was busy, so she hurriedly looked around, but at a glance, the place was a bit remote, and there was only a tea room full of people recently, it didn't seem like a place to talk, Zhan Yang could see that Yue Ning The meaning, but said, "Don't worry about the princess, just a few words, let's go to the entrance of the alley in front."
Yue Ning hurriedly said, "Just lead the way."
In this way, Zhan Yang led the way, and Yue Ning walked behind in the carriage. After a while, Zhan Yang got off the horse and Yue Ning also got off the carriage. Safety.
Zhan Yang opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "The villain wants to ask... Does the princess have any news about the princess Yongci?"
As soon as Yue Ning heard this, she understood that Qin Wan had assisted Zhan Yang in the previous cases, and there was naturally some friendship between her. Now everyone is avoiding Zhongyong Hou's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion. Only someone like Zhan Yang dared to ask her.
Yue Ning comforted her, "She's fine. Most of the news circulating in the capital is true. Prince Rui has settled down in Shuoxi, so she will naturally stay in Shuoxi."
Zhan Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, "That's good. Although the court wants to go west, it can't take care of it. Shuoxi is safe."
After Zhan Yang finished speaking, there was a serious look in his eyes, and Yue Ning said, "What's wrong? Could it be that you asked her if there is something wrong?"
Zhan Yang didn't seem to be purely concerned, but rather as if he had something to say to Qin Wan.
Being asked this question, Zhan Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing to tell the princess. After all, it has something to do with the earlier case, that is, the Ningyi case. Although the case was closed, but later The princess found something unusual, and the villain also checked many times... "
Yue Ning lifted her spirits when she heard that, Ning Buyi's case was solved at that time, and it was also due to her and Wei Qizhi's credit!
"Unusual? What do you mean?"
Yue Ning hurriedly asked, Zhan Yang pursed her lips and said, "To put it bluntly, the real culprit in that case has not been caught. Although Ning Buyi killed many people, we have never found out his purpose. Clearly, Princess Yongci discovered the clues later, and asked me to investigate, but I didn't find anything very useful. I just went to Guanyin Town and found a little clue when the murder happened in Guanyin Town. .”
Yue Ning listened very intently, Zhan Yang paused and said again, "After telling Princess Yongci, Princess Yongci seemed to have noticed something. Although the villain didn't meet the princess later, he kept Waiting, after all, it is a big case in which five people died, and the person behind the scenes, I am afraid that they have great ambitions, because the Evil Punishment Dojo can change luck in a small way, and shake the foundation of the country in a big way. The princess was able to find out who was behind the scenes, but there were many accidents later, and the villain didn't know where the case was found... "
Seeing Yue Ning lost in thought, Zhan Yang said embarrassedly for a while, "Don't blame the princess, now that the princess Yongci is far away in Shuoxi, since she has left, there is no need to investigate the case again, the villain shouldn't be What I said about this is that the villain has handled the case. If there is no solution, I always feel a little uneasy. Moreover, a series of incidents occurred in Beijing. Although the villain is at the end of the court, he is also thinking about these incidents. , Will it be related to the unsolved case? These days, I have thought a little more. I had nothing to do with it earlier. Today I suddenly saw the princess, thinking that the princess and the princess Yongci are the closest, Maybe there is still a chance to speak, so I just want to spit it out."
Yue Ning was just surprised at first, but the more Zhan Yang talked, a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
The several changes at the end of last year can be said to be unique in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The prince and queen fled, Yan Chi and Qin Wan were all involved, and now there are fighters in the west and north of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was already a storm, and while Zhan Yang was talking, Yue Ning inexplicably thought of the letter in Yanze's secret compartment.
According to Zhanyang, Ning Buyi was just a pawn, and there might be an even bigger conspiracy in the Punishment Dojo. Yue Ning knew a lot about Ning Buyi's case. , she also found it weird, but Zhan Yang and Qin Wan's deduction was more reasonable. Could it be that someone was behind these things? Could it be the queen... or the prince? !
The empress and the crown prince wanted to seize the throne, and they used this method of killing evils to disrupt the capital, and even, the appeal of this evil killing temple was to let the prince be the emperor...
The more Yue Ning thinks about this possibility, the more her heart beats like a drum. Does Yan Ze know about these things? !
Thinking of this, Yue Ning hurriedly asked, "I can talk to her right now, I know where she is, I can send her a letter, what the head catcher said today, I will mention it in the letter tomorrow, if she later really If you have a conclusion, let me know. I will come to search for the head arrester at that time, but... I also knew about this case at the time. After the case was closed, I didn't think about it. My curiosity, although I am not as good as Zhan Butou's upholding justice, I also want to know what clues Zhan Butou found later. If Zhan Butou said that there is really someone behind the scenes, then this person must be a high-ranking person , I can go in and out of the palace anyway, maybe I can find something."
Yue Ning and Qin Wan had a close friendship and were also influenced by Qin Wan. Now that Qin Wan is not here, she was curious and wanted to continue to do what Qin Wan hadn't done.
When she asked this question, Zhan Yang had already said so much, so she couldn't hide it, so she said, "The princess's words are reasonable, but the villain just suspects that person's high authority. Half a year after the case was closed, the princess Yongci suddenly mentioned that Suspecting that there was an inside story in this case, the villain went to Guanyin Town after repeated investigations to no avail, and went to Guanyin Town to visit in various ways, and finally found some clues. When the old case happened a few years ago, a young son came. The villain found a farmhouse with Ning Buyi's portrait. The family happened to remember that Ning Buyi was in Guanyin Town when the case happened, so he explained After learning how the old case happened, the villain asked again, and the farmer said that Ning Buyi lived alone at that time, and there was only one visit from a guest, and the guest was also strange, as if he was blind."
"You said you were blind?!" Yue Ning listened intently, but when she heard this, she was suddenly shocked!
Seeing her reaction so big, Zhan Yang was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, that one said it, very sure."
Yue Ning's breathing became rapid for a moment, "Blindness... a high-ranking blind person, I only know one... is... my third brother..."
Yue Ning's voice was trembling. When Zhan Yang heard it, he smiled helplessly, "Don't panic, princess, how could it be Prince Yi's son? His Royal Highness has not been involved in officialdom for many years. He is a noble and precious son. How could you get involved in these disputes? Although blind people are not common, there are still many, and this person is not necessarily the person behind the scenes, maybe he is just the person involved in this matter... "
Yue Ning looked at Zhan Yang, the corners of her lips moved, but she didn't say a word.
Zhan Yang didn't know about Yanze's city, nor did he know that Yanze had formed an alliance with the queen long ago!
Even after discovering this, she still subconsciously believed in Yan Ze just now, thinking that it was the queen who was the main one, and at most Yan Ze only knew about it, but now, Yue Ning realized that she had made a mistake. The previous case was over, it would not be possible for Yanze to form an alliance with the queen at that time!
Copying the case seven years ago into last year's case... How many lives were involved in this!
A battle between heaven and man began in Yue Ning's mind. For a while, he didn't believe it was Yan Ze, and for a while, he connected these things with Qin Wan's warning, and he had no other doubts. Seeing her expression change slightly, Zhan Yang seemed very uncomfortable. She immediately said, "The princess really doesn't need to think too much, and she doesn't have to act rashly just because of the villain's words..."
Before Zhan Yang finished speaking, Yue Ning suddenly raised her head, "I know, don't worry, maybe... it really isn't him... If there is nothing else, I will leave first, and I will tell you when there is news Seeing Zhan Yang nodding his head, Yue Ning walked out of the alley without saying a word, got into the carriage, and lost his soul for a while.
When the carriage started to move, Yue Ning gasped. In the past, she always questioned, but today, evidences were presented one by one before her. She wanted to tell Yan Ze apart, but how could she tell? The old enmity that I said in my heart, and the Ningbuyi case...
Yue Ning thought about it all the way, and when she returned to the palace, she was already a little lost, but when she entered the gate, a servant came to report that Yan Ze had already come.
Yue Ning was stunned when she heard this, knowing this, how would she face Yan Ze
The young servant at the side didn't know what was wrong with Yue Ning, and said, "Princess? The prince has arrived for half an hour and is talking with the old lady. Our prince is also there. The old lady asked the villain to guard and said that you will come back Let you go to the old lady immediately."
Yue Ning stood there in a daze, but her heart was beating like a drum. She looked at Shen Ding, but she was a very violent person in her heart. She couldn't bear it at all when things got to this point, but if she called Yan Ze to ask, she would It seems to be inferior, Yanze is not the Yanze she imagined at all, so what is she in his eyes
"Princess? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yue Ning like this, the boy became a little worried, but Yue Ning came back to his senses.
"Oh, I see, I'll go right away."
Yue Ning raised her steps and walked away, but her steps were a bit vain. She walked up to the Taichang Princess with one deep step and one shallow step. Before entering the door, she heard voices inside. people talk...
Princess Taichang smiled and said, "If you have this idea, it would be great. You didn't care about these before, but now you can't do what you want to do? When the time comes, let Jia'er go to the army with you, let Jia'er Father and son will teach you together, and military matters are not that difficult after all."
Yue Jia smiled, "Grandmother, Yan Ze is gifted and intelligent, so he can learn everything quickly."
Yue Ning was shocked when she heard that, did Yan Ze want to join his father? !
The princess Taichang laughed again, "When the time comes when you get married, if you go, Ning'er will probably follow her too. It doesn't matter if you take her there, I'm at ease with you here."
Yan Ze said softly, "I didn't think so at all, but now that there are wars everywhere, there is a bit of a heart for the country and the people. I'm afraid that a weak person like me will call other people when I enter the army. joke."
Yue Jia snorted softly, "That's my father's army. You are the eldest son of Prince Yi's family and the son-in-law of the Hou family. Who dares to say that you are not?"
There was a sound of laughter inside, but Yue Ning's heart was getting colder and colder. She panicked to the extreme, but now she calmed down suddenly, her eyes turned cold, and Yue Ning strode into the door of Taichang Princess. There was a smile on her face, "Grandma, brother, I'm back!"
The three of them looked over and greeted with a smile, Yue Ning sat next to the Taichang Princess, who smiled and said, "You monkey, where did you go again? Yanze said you left him for a long time, why did you not Are you back now?"
Leaning on Princess Taichang's arm, Yue Ning said with a smile, "I went to a painting gallery in the east of the city."
Princess Taichang raised her eyebrows, and Yue Ning said again, "I saw two paintings missing in my elder brother's room, so I wanted to buy them. The original owner of the art gallery was convicted of a crime and disappeared. Now the owner has changed. Coincidentally, when I went to buy paintings today, I ran into an old man who was wandering in front of the gallery, insisting that he wanted to find an old thing inside, and that he was an old friend of the original owner. After a while, the gallery only regarded the old man as someone who found fault on purpose. In addition to the crimes committed by the old owner, he naturally didn't dare to let that man in, so he persuaded him to go away after a long time. I looked at it for a long time, just watching the excitement When I went to look at the paintings again, I didn’t find one I liked, so I came back.”
Princess Taichang and Yue Jia listened noncommittally, but Yan Ze's eyes trembled slightly when he heard that the old man was looking for someone.
Yue Ning glanced at Yanze, then laughed again, "I'll go elsewhere tomorrow to choose for Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother's house is too clean."
Princess Taichang said, "You really put your heart into it, but is this excitement worth watching for so long?"
Yue Ning smiled, "Grandmother doesn't know, the owner of the original painting gallery has no relatives or friends. I was curious when someone suddenly appeared. I wanted to ask a question, but the old man walked very fast, as if avoiding people." It seems that if I ask the new shopkeeper again, the shopkeeper will never answer anything related to the old owner... "
Princess Taichang shook her head helplessly, "Since you were convicted, there must be some reason, you can press your mind, don't you know where to spend your mind these days?"
Yue Jia laughed, "Other girls are going to get married, and they always have to stay in the mansion to get married, but you go outside all day long."
Yue Ning naturally didn't recognize what they said, and turned to talk to Yan Ze. Yan Ze answered fluently, and looked as gentle as usual. However, Yue Ning had been inseparable and took care of him for half a year before. For example, now, she clearly felt The aura on Yan Ze's body became a bit low, not as happy as when he was talking to Princess Taichang before, and he looked outside from time to time, obviously wanting to leave.
Sure enough, not long after, Yan Ze bid farewell, and as soon as he left, Yue Ning also returned to her own yard. As soon as she returned to the yard, Yue Ning called her most confidant servant and told her, "Now go to Prince Yi's mansion quickly. , to see if the young man next to Shizi will go out later, if he really sees him going out, then follow him to see where he has gone, don't show any traces, come back and tell me..."
Although the servant was puzzled, he didn't dare to disobey, and the family of generals in the Marquis of Anyang, the confidant servants around the juniors were also very skilled. Yue Ning just gave orders and didn't have to worry. So he sat alone in front of the window and waited for two hours. When it was dark, the boy returned to the mansion.
"Reporting to the princess, the sandalwood next to the eldest son left the mansion this afternoon! The villain followed all the way, but he arrived at a Qingcheng painting gallery in the east of the city. The sandalwood didn't go in either. I went in, but came out after a while, and the villain followed me for a while, and saw that he was returning to the palace of the villain."
After hearing these words, Yue Ning's high hanging heart not only fell to the ground, but also fell into a deep cold abyss.
