Tang riddles

The soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion suddenly appeared, and Shen Suichu was very shocked. She never thought that anyone could realize that Qin Zhen was the driving force behind all the cases before her.When she rushed out of the study and came to the back garden of the Qin Mansion, what she saw was a picture that made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

A large number of government soldiers have already seized all the passages in and out of the Qin residence, and five other soldiers are digging a large piece of land under the courtyard wall of the Qin residence with shovels.The flower beds planted on it were destroyed in a mess, and all the flowers and plants were ruthlessly scooped out.

Jing Zhaoyin and Li Xian stood in the center of the back garden, supervising the excavation by five soldiers.

"Mr. Li! What's going on?" Shen Sui stepped forward to ask.

"Brother Bo Zhao? Why are you here?" Seeing Shen Sui appearing, Li Xian was obviously a little surprised.

"I came to pay a visit to Lord Qin, but I didn't expect the Lord to bring people in and make such a big fuss?" Shen Sui was obviously a little anxious, and his tone of voice was a little blunt.Fortunately, Li Xian didn't care, and explained:

"Brother Bo Zhao, let's get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. When we were chasing the three gangsters in the morning, one of my captains saw one of them coming out of the backyard of the returning residence with a bag on his back, so he deliberately went north. A section of the road turned into the courtyard wall of the Qin Mansion. He led people to surround him, and saw the gangster climbed out of the other side of the courtyard wall, but the burden on his body was gone. This person stayed in the Qin Mansion for a long time. For a while. He told me about this, and I felt something strange about it, so I paid attention to it. Later, after arresting the three criminals, I immediately went back to the government to interrogate them. The man did not deny whether the package was hidden in the Qin Mansion, and his fingernails were covered with mud, which proved the fact that he had buried criminal evidence in the Qin Mansion. When asked why he fled to the Qin Mansion, he did not answer Now I have reason to suspect that the Qin Mansion may be involved with those three gangsters. I have already asked His Majesty for an order to seize the Qin Mansion with the joint approval of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. It's nothing to do, it's better to leave."

Shen Sui frowned, and couldn't help but look at Hu Tuo who followed her, Hu Tuo shook his head, and whispered in Shen Sui's ear:

"When our people arrived at the return home, the three people were gone, and then we went elsewhere to look for it. The officers and soldiers should have come behind us. I don't know if there is such a thing."

At this moment, among the five soldiers digging the ground, the leader suddenly shouted:

"Report! Found it!"

As he spoke, he brought out a black cloth bag covered in mud and put it on the ground. When he untied it, he saw that there was a large mess of bloody clothes stuffed in the bag, and there were three sets of official uniforms for clerks. in a smaller package.A pair of iron hooks were almost exactly the same as the iron hooks that penetrated the old escort's shoulders. There was also a letter, the envelope was already stained with some blood, and it was crumpled, probably because it was put together with the bloody coat.There was no word written on the cover, but an ominous premonition had already arisen in Shen Sui's heart.

Li Xian ordered someone to bring the letter over, and he opened it himself, took out a few sheets of paper, and browsed through it.A topographic map of Daozhengfang, the route around Guihuiju has highlighted many hiding spots, and the Qin Mansion is one of them, and it has been emphatically marked with cinnabar.A planning timetable carefully described the process of killing the old bodyguard of the Four Seas Bodyguard Bureau. Each step was detailed and detailed, and it specifically stated how to chop off the head of the old bodyguard and stuff it into the abdomen after killing the old bodyguard. .The cruelty revealed in the strokes is shocking.In addition, there is also a token in the envelope, which is the token for the inspectors of Dali Temple to enter and exit the city defense and palace ban.

Shen Sui could see clearly from the side, the handwriting was clearly grandfather's handwriting.Suddenly, as if a thunderbolt hit her head, she felt dizzy and completely burned.

"It's impossible..." She couldn't help blurting out, causing Li Xian to look at her in surprise.

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding, please..." Shen Sui opened his mouth, wanting to ask Li Xian to find out the facts before arresting him, but Li Xian interrupted:

"Bo Zhao, you must not say any more about this matter. I just came out of the palace, and His Majesty was furious. He attaches great importance to this case, and is even more concerned about Duke Qin's innocence. If Duke Qin is black and white, I'm afraid... ...The consequences are disastrous, and you should stay out of it."

Shen Sui's complexion became paler, while speaking, Qin Zhen had already slowly stepped out from behind the stone arch of the study, and stood under the word "Silver Pot".He said:

"Young man, don't interfere with the government's handling of the case. Mr. Li, the old man will cooperate with you in whatever you do. Come on." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, and his gray beard and beard swayed slowly in the warm summer wind. There was an indifference on his face that saw through the vicissitudes of the world, and the ocher red robe on his body became more and more glaring in the setting sun.

"Mr. Qin, you have a high moral character. How can I treat you as a prisoner? Please, we have arranged a carriage to take you to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion." Li Xian was still very polite to Qin Zhen and did not let anyone go Handcuff Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen appreciated it, turned his outstretched hands into a bow, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

With that said, Li Xian led the way, and a group of people surrounded Qin Zhen, carrying him out.

Shen Sui's mind went blank, watching grandpa being escorted away like this, she subconsciously took a few steps forward, countless words stuck in her throat, but she didn't know how to spit them out.Qin Zhen didn't look at her at first, until when he reached the gate, he saw his wife, Lu Shi, and a group of old servants waiting at the gate.He signaled Li Xian to wait, and Li Xian ordered his subordinates to give up time for Qin Zhen to say goodbye to his relatives in a very humane manner.After this trip, I don't know if we can meet again, maybe this is the last time in this life.

Qin Zhen looked at his wife Lu Shi who was weeping silently, and said: "I will follow me for the rest of my life, and I will suffer for you."

Lu Shi just shook his head and burst into tears.

He looked at the old servants at home again, and said: "I'm leaving, you must serve Madam well. If you don't want to leave, stay. There is always a bowl of food in the house. If you want to leave, just go and find another way out, don't you?" To waste time here with me."

The servants cried together, shouting "Master Lang", and fell to their knees.

Finally, he turned around tremblingly, looked at Shen Sui, his lips murmured for a long while, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.After a while, he forcibly controlled his emotions, and said to Shen Sui:

"Leave me alone, do what you should do, and don't disappoint the expectations of the family. As long as you know about me, don't let others know. Go, go..." He He said vaguely, and others listened, as if he was just trying to persuade a promising young man to stay away from him, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and signaled Li Xian to leave.Li Xian glanced at Shen Sui who was behind him with red eyes and a panicked expression, sighed, escorted Qin Zhen into the carriage, and led a large number of government soldiers to leave the Qin residence.

Shen Sui stood on the spot for a long time, watching the large group of people disappear at the end of the road, tears were already gushing out, which was hard to hold back.Hu Tuo called her "Da Lang" helplessly, and Qian He stood beside her, holding the samurai broadsword tightly in his hand, never saying a word.After a long time, Shen Sui wiped away his tears, and said slowly:

"He did it on purpose..."

Hu Tuo was surprised, but Qian He seemed to have thought of the reason, and couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

"He killed so many people, but he exposed himself on purpose, in order to bring down a certain party in the position reserve battle... He had such a plan for a long time..." Shen Sui murmured, "He actually asked me to leave him alone , and don't tell mother, how can I do it..."

"Bo Zhao, what should we do?" Even Qian He, who was as determined as Qian He, felt at a loss.

"I have vowed that I will never disregard right and wrong in this life. Any mystery must be clearly discerned, the truth will be cleared, the innocent will be brought to justice, and the guilty will be punished. But ah, until now, I have become confused... I I don't know what to do, let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Qin Zhen is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and it is only natural for him to subdue the law.But deep down in Shen Sui's heart, he was extremely unwilling for such a thing to happen.What Qin Zhen told her was originally her ambition, but now she always feels that her taste has changed, and she no longer has the purity and indomitable spirit of the past.Do you still want to investigate the case?Whether the truth is not important anymore.My Luanhuang clan is really a monster clan that has caused chaos and chaos. Should I continue to realize my grandpa's entrustment and Mao Mao's grand plan?And should I really ignore my grandfather?How exactly?

On May [-]th, it was nearly dusk, Shen Sui stood at the gate of the Qin Mansion, his hands and feet were cold, and for the first time he lost his goal in life.

……

At dusk, Li Jinyue was wearing a plain palace attire, no accessories, and a sash on her forehead, walking on the way out of the palace.The waiter holding the lamp in front of him to guide the way had a white plain belt tied around his waist, which swayed slowly as he walked.The plain white palace lanterns radiated yellow and white light in the dark palace way, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.The servant didn't walk fast because Li Jinyue seemed very absent-minded and walked slowly.

On the second day after the princess mansion was lifted, she was ordered to enter the palace to thank the saint for his grace.She felt deeply humiliated, and Ben was very reluctant.But she knows that this is an extraordinary period, and bearing the burden of humiliation is the first choice of action, and she can no longer act willfully and challenge patriarchy.Otherwise, in the current treacherous situation, if she made a careless move, she might die without a place to bury her.

Entering the palace today was not all humiliation, she unexpectedly discovered that her father had aged a lot overnight.The sideburns and beards are already graying, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are getting deeper, and the person is getting thinner and thinner.His suppressed cough kept coming, and he seemed weak when talking to her.Li Jinyue didn't know whether it was because the death of Concubine Hui made him physically and mentally exhausted, or some other reason, but this was the first time she saw such a father.

When thanking Shengen, it happened that Jing Zhaoyin and Li Xian hurried into the palace.Li Jinyue wanted to avoid it, but the saint left her behind.Li Xian's report was about the arrest of Qin Zhen, and Li Jinyue was very surprised after listening to it.After hearing that Qin Zhen might be related to the recent serial deaths of officials in the He Mansion, the saint was furious and demanded that Li Xian arrest Qin Zhen and investigate him immediately.It was also the first time for Li Jinyue to see her father so frightened and angry, but there was an unconcealable fear in the raging anger.What is he afraid of?Qin Zhen, why on earth did he kill those former officials of the Crane Mansion?

As Shen Sui's close friend, Li Jinyue knows everything about Shen Sui's life experience, and as it should be, she understands that Qin Zhen is Chishi's grandfather.And if Qin Zhen did such a rebellious and cruel thing, it could only be related to the tragedy that happened in Chishi's home that year.What about Akashi?Something happened to Qin Zhen, did she know?How would she react?

Li Jinyue was very anxious at first, thinking that she would go to find Shen Sui when she left the palace.But I remembered that when Shen Sui came to see her quietly at night, she told herself that no matter what happened afterwards, Li Jinyue would never go to Shen Sui at will.Shen Sui said at the time that in Chang'an City right now, there might be eyeliners that even Qianyumen could not identify. If she had a close relationship with Shen Sui, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.Right now, many people are already doubting the relationship between Shen Sui and Li Jinyue, and many people have classified Shen Sui into the Princess Party. Apart from Shen Sui, there are also individual courtiers who seem to have a very close relationship with Shen Sui and Li Jinyue , such as Zhang Jiuling, Ming Gui, Pei Yaoqing and so on.Above the court and in political affairs, a third-party party has already appeared. This is not a very good phenomenon, because it is not yet the best time for Li Jinyue to formally enter the political arena. If he starts to show cronyism now, It is bound to be suppressed by many parties.Li Jinyue has not fully established her footing yet, so she must continue to maintain a pure military image at this sensitive moment, and must not clearly participate in the battle for the reserve position.

Considering this level, Li Jinyue had no choice but to give up. She believed in Shen Sui's ability, and she should be able to handle Qin Zhen's affairs well.She planned to ask Xu Jie to send someone to check on Shen Sui's situation after returning to the mansion.

Thinking about it this way, she had already walked out of the palace under the leadership of the servant, and saw her carriage.She got into the carriage, and under the escort of Cheng Yan, she slowly left the imperial city and headed for Princess Jin's Mansion in Changlefang.

But she never thought that someone stopped her carriage when she bypassed the north wall of the Princess Mansion and just turned into the west wall.Cheng Yan, who was escorting by the side of the car on horseback, shouted:

"Who is blocking the car of Princess Jin?"

"Your Majesty Yang Shenjin, I have something important to report to Your Excellency the Princess. If you take the liberty to stop the car, I hope the Princess will forgive me." A slightly unfamiliar male voice sounded outside.

Yang Shenjin?Why is this person looking for me?

Li Jinyue lifted the curtain of the car, saw Yang Shenjin who was standing beside the car and bowed down, thought for a moment, and said:

"Yang Taifu (Yang Shenjin is the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple. He is the highest official of Taifu Temple. You can add Shaoqing and Taifu to your surname.) Come in the car. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it after entering the house."

"Thank you, princess!" Yang Shenjin bowed again and stepped into the car.

Under the dim night, the car slowly drove into the princess mansion.

The author has something to say: Regarding the last chapter, many people asked how Yin Yuyue could be sure that Qin Zhen and his wife would have a daughter.Let me explain in a unified way, of course Yin Yuyue can't be sure whether she will have a boy or a girl, but this doesn't hinder her, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, she can be paired with Yin Yu.Boys have boy plans, and girls have girl plans. Anyway, heirs of the Luanhuang bloodline can pair with both sexes, and Yin Yu doesn't mean that he can only like women.
