Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 200 An acquaintance commits the crime
Mei Hanxuan was smart and naturally knew that the reason she came here was to investigate the person behind the scenes who instructed Qian Ming to use rumors to slander the Eastern Palace and the General's Mansion.
So when Mei Hanxuan pushed herself at that time, she just wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
But he never thought that he was lucky enough to survive from the Cliff of Unfeeling.
What she had never expected was that she would be able to trace the case to this extent.
Someone who can use Lu Xu as a weakness and ask Mei Hanxuan to work for him, and who has connections with the Zhennan General's Mansion.
There is almost no suspense about this answer.
Lu family wood.
Lu Xu's father, the prefect of Jiangning.
Perhaps it was because Xu Xingyin's expression at the moment was so ugly that Mei Hanxuan immediately realized that she had been tricked by Xu Xingyin.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wild and distorted, glaring at Xu Xingyin fiercely.
"You lied to me!"
Xu Xingyin did not respond to her accusation, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes deep and calm.
"You found out too late."
Having said that, Xu Xingyin was too lazy to hide anything anymore and spoke calmly.
"Now that things have come to this, we should stop hiding things. Tell me the truth about the deal between you and Lu Jiamu, and about Lu Jiamu's relationship with the unjust case at the Zhennan General's Mansion."
Mei Hanxuan laughed and said, "Why do you think I will tell you the truth?"
"The clues you just provided me are enough for me to interrogate the Lu family. I'm giving you a chance now, but I'm thinking of the friendship between me and Lu Xu in the past, and I want him to suffer less. If you don't cooperate, I can only ask Lu Xu. It will take at least half a month to escort Lu Jiamu to the capital. Do you want Lu Xu to spend the next half a month under interrogation?"
Mei Hanxuan rushed forward excitedly, but was restrained by the wooden bars of the cell. Her eyes were wide open and she angrily scolded Xu Xingyin.
"Xu Xingyin, do you have any conscience? How could you treat Master Lu like this? Master Lu knows nothing. Even if the Lu family has done something wrong to you, Master Lu has never done anything wrong to you!"
Xu Xingyin lowered her eyes slightly, almost unable to suppress the moisture welling up in her eyes.
"Do you know how many people died in this unjust case in the Zhennan General's Mansion? There were more than a hundred maids and servants, more than a hundred guards, and more than two hundred stationed soldiers. Adding up, there were more than five hundred people. Now, as soon as I close my eyes, I can remember how my grandfather died in front of my eyes, and how my uncle fell off a cliff and was smashed to pieces! My friends and relatives left me one by one because of this false accusation, and they were cursed. What qualifications do I have to forgive the Lu family on their behalf!"
Having said this, Xu Xingyin also lost some of her mind. Every word seemed to be a flame ignited from the deepest part of her heart, suddenly rising up and burning her eyes red.
The sharp pain grew wildly in my heart and could not be calmed down at all.
Faced with Xu Xingyin's sad accusation, Mei Hanxuan was at a loss for words. After all, behind every word she said was a lot of coagulated blood, so tragic.
Xu Xingyin clenched his fists and took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the grief in his heart, then raised his head and said through gritted teeth.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood. I will not show mercy to anyone who has done it. Mei Hanxuan, I'll give you three numbers to think about it. If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Lu Xu."
Xu Xingyin's eyes were firm, which made Mei Hanxuan's heart tremble.
"three two……"
At this time, Xu Xingyin had already started counting down, his eyes were cold and firm, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
"one."
The moment the countdown ended, Mei Hanxuan took a deep breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I said."
Xu Xingyin remained silent, just raised his chin to signal Mei Hanxuan to start.
Thinking of her persistence over the years, Mei Hanxuan was a little dazed for a moment and didn't know where to start.
After thinking for a while, I finally uncovered that dusty memory.
The year Mei Hanxuan and Mei Hanrui were separated from their family in Jiangning, it was Lu Xu who saved them from hunger and cold and brought them back to the Lu Mansion.
At that time, the two sisters were arranged by Lu Xu to work as maids in the kitchen of the Lu family. Mei Hanxuan always worked very efficiently, because only after she finished the tasks at hand could she sneak a peek at Lu Xu when he was practicing martial arts in the outer courtyard.
Mei Hanxuan fell in love with Lu Xu, the rich young man who saved her from suffering, at first sight.
But at the same time, she was also very clear...
Lu Xu is someone she can only look up to throughout her life.
Originally, the story should have continued in this bland way, until...
Lu Jiamu discovered Mei Hanxuan's thoughts and found her.
Lu Jiamu's words were simple and direct. He knew what Mei Hanxuan was thinking and promised her that as long as she was willing to work for him, he would allow her to become Lu Xu's concubine after the work was done.
Becoming Lu Xu's bedside companion was what Mei Hanxuan had always dreamed of at the time, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
Having said this, the following events became a natural progression.
Xu Xingyin asked directly: "So, you were sent to the other courtyard by Lu Jiamu on purpose?"
"Yes, the master knew all the secrets of the governor Zhang at that time, and sent us in so that he could cooperate with the outside forces and take advantage of the situation."
"Lu Jiamu arranged for you to go in just to control Zhang Zishi so that he could use him. But why did he go to Zhennan General's Mansion?"
Mei Hanxuan looked at Xu Xingyin in surprise, "You really don't know anything?"
"What should I know?"
Xu Xingyin sneered, "I ask myself, the Zhennan General's Mansion has done nothing wrong in public, and privately, it has not done anything wrong to the Lu family. Lu Xu's martial arts were all taught by my grandfather. He came and went freely in the General's Mansion, and everyone in the General's Mansion treated him like a son or nephew! Even for Lu Xu's sake, the Lu family should not have killed Jiang Jufu!"
Mei Hanxuan sneered, "Feelings? In the face of life and death, what does feelings mean?"
Xu Xingyin grasped the key point immediately, "So, what did my grandfather discover?"
Mei Hanxuan did not answer but asked, "What crime was General Zhennan arrested for?"
Xu Xingyin was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"You mean, the person who secretly communicated with Xi Shen Kingdom was originally Lu Jiamu!"
Mei Hanxuan didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
Xu Xingyin had been listening calmly and seemed particularly peaceful. Only she knew that the knuckles of her fingers hidden under her wide sleeves had turned white from the force and had almost pierced the tender flesh of her palms.
"So, what is Lu Jiamu and Xi Shenguo planning?"
Mei Hanxuan shook her head. "How could I know about this? But it's probably related to trade."
"Jiangnan is located on a major waterway. If there are officials who can help, Xishen Kingdom can conduct trade in a more convenient way. In this way, it can avoid the layers of tariffs imposed by the imperial court and save a lot of money."
