Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 240 Dead End
"Although Xu Wanmian has wronged me, he has never wronged the Lin family. What happened today is really an unprovoked disaster. I am always like this. I can't stand seeing this villain jumping around."
Having said that, Xu Xingyin smiled again, and changed the subject to leave the question in suspense.
"Besides, who said I don't have any other purpose today?"
Dan Feng was puzzled. "Mrs. Lin's life is a mess. Is there any way she can help you?"
Xu Xingyin said seriously, "I always feel that Aunt Liu's death was strange. As her only daughter, Xu Wanmian might be useful in the future."
Dan Feng probably didn't expect Xu Xingyin to have thought so far ahead, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"The Crown Princess is truly a man of foresight!"
Xu Xingyin curled his lips, lifted the car curtain with a sly smile and signaled Danfeng to listen to the noise outside.
Dan Feng had been so preoccupied with the lawsuit that he hadn't paid any attention to it. But when he followed Xu Xingyin's instructions and listened, he finally understood why his master was in such a good mood.
Ao Ying found some of the most gossipy maids in the mansion. They stood at the door of the Lin family and in less than a cup of tea, they told the neighbors the whole story of what happened that night.
Look, right now everyone on the streets is cursing the Lin family.
"Bah, you go around saying bad things about other people's wives, but you never miss an opportunity to take advantage of them. You are so shameless!"
"Yes, I thought she was an honest person, but I didn't expect she could do such a thing as stealing money and killing people! If I see her again in the future, I will definitely smash her with rotten eggs to vent my anger."
"Poor Lord Lin, he has such bad luck to be with such a family!"
Dan Feng couldn't help but smile as he listened, "Fighting violence with violence is the most appropriate way."
Xu Xingyin also smiled and laughed.
"If this continues for a few more days, I don't believe that Zhuang can continue to stay in the capital with such shameless attitude."
……
After Xu Wanmian's delivery came to an end, and after several rounds of intense interrogation by Cui Detao, Zou Lizhen's psychological defenses finally collapsed and she gave in.
She took the initiative to put forward a condition that she had to meet Xu Xingyin before she would tell the truth.
Xu Xingyin did not refuse. Since Zou Lizhen wanted to meet her, then he would meet her to see what she wanted to say.
After receiving the order, Cui Detao immediately arranged the matter.
The next day, Zou Lizhen met Xu Xingyin in the East Palace.
In the quiet and unique courtyard, Xu Xingyin sat in the pavilion in the bamboo forest. His eyes were as calm as water, but revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.
Zou Lizhen was taken to the front of the pavilion, staring straight at Xu Xingyin.
He didn't greet me, but just spoke casually.
"Crown Princess, long time no see."
Xu Xingyin smiled when he heard this and responded jokingly.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Zou Lizhen replied in a low voice, "I am also about to die, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"You want to see me, you're not here just to chat, right?"
Xu Xingyin raised his eyebrows and got straight to the point.
Zou Lizhen didn't keep the secret, "I just want to confirm one thing. Are you really determined to find out the truth? No matter the cost, no matter the relationship, no favoritism."
Xu Xingyin did not answer but asked, "Why, are you still worried about who I will protect?"
Zou Lizhen said, "Your Highness, you should know who I'm talking about. We're all going to die anyway, so I have nothing to fear. But if my bravery before death is just a joke, then I'd rather choose to say nothing."
After hearing this, Xu Xingyin responded seriously.
"Since you said so, I will answer your question. The truth is very important to me. Because the world is peaceful because of the blood and flesh of countless brave soldiers like General Zhennan. Isn't it for the welfare of the people of the world that they fought and killed each other?
But some people hid behind this peaceful and prosperous era, using one conspiracy after another to kill the virtuous, destroy peace, and shake the country. Without spending a single soldier, they destroyed the life's work of countless people. I, Xu Xingyin, am not a person who cares about the world, but I am one of the people of the world.
How could I not know the truth that the lips and teeth are cold? If I favor someone today, one day, those blades that cut innocent people will be turned against me. Therefore, I cannot bear to see those who have been struggling to uphold justice destroyed by the vicious schemes of those with ulterior motives. Just like the Zhenguo Mansion once defended the national gate, I will also protect the justice I uphold and do my best to leave a piece of pure land. "
After Xu Xingyin finished speaking, Zou Lizhen looked at her quietly for a long time, so long that she could not find any trace of lying in Xu Xingyin, and then she laughed suddenly.
"The Zhennan General's Mansion has raised the Crown Princess very well. She knows right from wrong and has a sense of justice. You are a completely different person from your father. Xu Xiuzhu has been smart all his life and has calculated everyone, but he only miscalculated you. How ridiculous."
Xu Xingyin didn't waste any words, "So, the person who colluded with Lu Jiamu was really Xu Xiuzhu?"
Zou Lizhen asked, "Hasn't the Crown Princess already guessed the truth?"
"So, how much did Xu Xiuzhu participate in Lu Jiamu's crime? Who came up with the idea? Who was the main person and who was the assistant?"
Xu Xingyin took a deep breath, and as if mustering up his courage, asked the question that concerned him most.
"Back then, what role did Xu Xiuzhu play in the incident at the Zhennan General's Mansion?"
Zou Lizhen shook her head. "I don't know the inside story, but the relationship between Lu Jiamu and Xu Xiuzhu is undoubtedly a cooperation. Xu Xiuzhu is a cunning person, so even if the two of them are cooperating, Lu Jiamu is not confident in him. So Lu Jiamu gave me all the letters they exchanged, just in case."
Xu Xingyin, who finally figured out the whole story, sneered and analyzed.
"So, Xu Wanyan was also deliberately placed in the palace by Lu Jiamu, as a foreign woman, without anyone noticing, even Xu Xiuzhu, in order to one day be able to check and balance Xu Xiuzhu. The fire in Xu Wanyan's palace was deliberately set by Lu Jiamu's spies. Because once the fire was started, Xu Wanyan's identity could no longer be hidden.
If I were alive, I would pursue this matter until... I would find it in the Duke's Mansion. If I were dead, His Highness would not let go of even the slightest clue. Even if we could not find anything, the fact that Xu Wanyan concealed her identity and entered the palace as a concubine would be enough to cause trouble for the Duke's Mansion.
Lu Jiamu seemed to be calm in his death, but he never intended to let anyone go. He had even arranged everything before his death. All of us were in his plan. And all his concessions at that time were just to protect Lu Xu when he had no other choice. "
Zou Lizhen smiled and clapped her hands, "The Crown Princess is indeed smart."
