Consort, she is reborn

After all, County Magistrate Li was not arrested. He didn't run away, but died.

The soldiers who went to Li's house to capture County Magistrate Li came back very quickly, and escorted County Magistrate Li's family, but he was not there.The sergeant tremblingly stepped forward to return, saying: "Your Highness, forgive me, I was too late, the traitor has already committed suicide."

Tang Zhao and Mingda looked at each other when they heard the words. They hadn't seen the county magistrate Li so far, but they didn't expect him to be so decisive—what the hell is this man trying to do?After tossing about this battle, there was no result. After learning that the garrison entered the city, things had changed, and he died so simply and neatly.Didn't he leave a way out for himself, and didn't care about his wife and children? !

Just when the two were puzzled, the returning sergeant took out a piece of blood-stained paper from his pocket, handed it forward respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, this is the suicide note left by the traitor."

Mingda picked it up after hearing the words and glanced at it, only to see that there were eight simple words written on it: life should be a dead head, death should be a weed.

With just one glance, Mingda's hand tightened suddenly, and the blood-stained paper crumpled into a ball in her palm.Everyone could see that she was in a bad mood, and everyone subconsciously held their breath and concentrated, not daring to speak.

Tang Zhao also saw the eight words on the suicide note, and his heart jumped wildly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.However, all kinds of thoughts only had time to flash through her mind, and soon her attention was attracted by Mingda—the serious Mingda, the angry Mingda, they were getting less and less like the little princess in her memory, but she subconsciously Unwilling to get to the bottom of it.

Mingda finally noticed Tang Zhao's gaze, and all his aura instantly disappeared.She turned her head and blinked, showing displeasure again, and complained to Tang Zhao: "If you die like this, the county magistrate is really shameless."

Tang Zhao responded with a "hmm", curled his fingers hanging by his side slightly, and raised his hand to touch Mingda's head as if hesitating: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it for such a foolish person."

Mingda didn't hide, but instead looked resigned, the anger on his face gradually dissipated.

At this moment, the two of them are not alone, there are many soldiers and horses around, even the subordinate officials of the princess mansion are present.However, no one dared to disturb him, even from the moment Tang Zhao raised his hand to touch Mingda's head, everyone lowered their eyes, not daring to look any further.

The Pingliang garrison was fine, they were far away from the capital and had never heard of the gossip about the eldest princess, and they didn't know much about the identity and relationship between the two, so they just took a look at it.

On the contrary, it was the people from the Princess Mansion who were so shocked that their eyeballs would drop when they saw the relationship between the two of them—is this still their infatuated dead husband, the self-sacrificing Eldest Princess?How could you be flirting with a young man after not seeing you for a few days? !

However, no matter what other people think, Mingda obviously doesn't care. She hugged Tang Zhao's arm and was as affectionate as before: "Forget it, the county magistrate will die as soon as he dies. Fortunately, Chen San was arrested by the garrison." It can be interrogated. He seems to be saving his life."

Tang Zhao nodded, and reminded Mingda again: "The captain of the Forbidden Army hasn't been found yet."

Mingda also thought of this incident, and sent people to search around, and finally found him in the county jail.At the same time, Lieutenant Wang was also carried out of the county prison. Unfortunately, when Lian Jingyao and Wang Yingqiu went to see him yesterday, he was already at the end of his strength. The gas is also gone.What was carried out at this time was nothing but a cold corpse.

Tang Zhao sighed as he watched, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't last another day, so he could only send someone to the inn to invite Lian Jingyao to deal with the funeral.

It was already the second day that Chen San was referred to Pingliang for interrogation.

At that time, Tang Zhao was looking around in County Magistrate Li's study, trying to see if he could find anything useful.It's a pity that County Magistrate Li lit a brazier before his death, and all the important documents were burned clean, and even the slag in the brazier was crushed.In the end, after searching for a long time, she only found a book written 30 years ago. The paper and date of inscription were quite old.

When Mingda came looking for it, she saw Tang Zhao was distracted by the book Ren. She leaned over and looked at it: "Brother A Ting, what are you looking at?" Wei Wei blinked: "What is this?"

Tang Zhao didn't explain, and put Ren Shu aside casually: "I flipped through it casually."

Mingda didn't bother, took Tang Zhao's hand and said, "Chen San is here. He really didn't have the guts to commit suicide. Let's go to interrogate and find out who is behind the scenes to instigate him to assassinate."

Tang Zhao nodded, followed her out, and suddenly asked, "Mingda, do you often get assassinated?"

Mingda paused almost imperceptibly, and then replied ambiguously: "Probably, I forgot."

Tang Zhao didn't care about her answer, and asked again: "Then do you know who the people who assassinated you are? I mean who instigated it behind the scenes, do you have any guesses in your heart?"

Mingda didn't reply this time, and I don't know if she didn't know or didn't want to talk.Fortunately, Tang Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and the two quickly returned to the county office. As soon as they entered the front office, they saw Chen San being tied up in front of the hall.

The general of the garrison was also at the side, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he greeted them and said, "Your Highness, my lord, Chen San has already been brought here." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said, "I left him in the barracks yesterday, and there are also brothers in the barracks." I tortured him, but he wouldn't say anything."

Tang Zhao and Ming Da heard the words and took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that Chen San had injuries on his body, obviously he had been tortured.

Mingda glanced at it twice, and muttered, "Your mouth is quite stiff, why don't you beat him up again?"

Tang Zhao laughed, looked at Chen San's unmoved appearance, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless to beat him, and I won't be able to find anything if I ask him, otherwise I'll kill him, why waste food?"

She said it lightly, and she also looked like a white, clean and weak scholar, but when she said these words, there seemed to be a bloody smell between the lines.Not to mention Chen San, even the garrison general at the side didn't think she was joking.

Sure enough, Chen San, who had lowered his eyes and looked resigned, heard this, and his eyelids trembled violently.

Mingda was also happy to cooperate with Tang Zhao, and waved to the left and right after hearing the words: "Yes, then don't waste time. Come here, pull him down and chop him up, there are other things waiting to be dealt with."

Chen San could hear that this was a threat, but he also understood that this was not a show.In fact, from the moment the general of the garrison called out "Your Highness", he didn't feel well—who can call you His Highness in a small place like Pingliang?It was nothing more than the eldest princess who was assassinated on her way to Pingliang.And he had tampered with the eldest princess's horse before, which was no different from assassination.

He is a life-saving person. If he had known the identity of the person in front of him, he would not have dared to kill her.It's a pity that he didn't know, so the two short nails under the saddle became his death talisman.

Seeing the sergeant next to him step forward, Chen San finally couldn't help but said, "Wait!"

Mingda looked at him for a long time, raised his hand to temporarily stop the sergeant's movements: "Why, do you want to say something?"

Chen San closed his eyes, turned his kneeling body slightly, and rushed to Mingda: "The guilty minister did not know His Highness's identity, and caused a catastrophe. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Mingda looked at him coldly, noncommittal.

At this time, Chen San also understood that this was not the time for him to bargain, so he said cruelly: "The criminal minister did not intend to offend, but someone came to me a few days ago and asked me to try to subdue the garrison and cooperate with the county magistrate of Pingliang. Acting. The time when His Highness came down was unlucky, and the entire garrison was going to be transferred away. I was also obsessed with it and took the risk..."

As for the assassination of the garrison general, he didn't say anything. Obviously, the assassination of Ming Da was an accident, but it was his original plan to assassinate the garrison general.At this moment, he did not dare to raise his head to see the face of the garrison general when he said the words.

After hearing this, Tang Zhao asked, "Why do you obey others? Did you take the money, or did you give it to others?"

Since Chen San opened his mouth, he gave up his plan to hide it, and said in a dazed way: "All, all. I have been a deputy general in the Pingliang garrison for many years, longer than the general. I have been more or less greedy over the years. Some military funds. This matter was found out, and the man threatened me with evidence, and left me a box of gold." After speaking, he also explained the whereabouts of the gold.

After all, this is a bribed villain, which is different from the Pingliang county magistrate who has a heart for the city.His mouth was easy to pry open, but it was useless to pry open his mouth, and he couldn't ask for more information.

Tang Zhao didn't care about gold, and asked him, "Then do you know the identity of the person who bought you?"

Chen San shook his head as expected. Seeing that Tang Zhao and Mingda were a little disappointed and impatient, he hurriedly added, "He didn't say anything, but I checked. That person should come from Maozhou."

Maozhou is the destination of Mingda's inspection this time, and it is not too far from Pingliang.As for what happened in Maozhou?When Tang Zhao was hiding in Lianjiazhai before, he asked Lian Jingyao to inquire about it, but he didn’t hear anything for a long time, but after entering the Pingliang County Government, he flipped through the mansion newspaper, and quickly learned the whole story—two months ago in the Southwest Maozhou was severely affected by the disaster, but rumors spread everywhere after the imperial court relieved the disaster. It was not until a month ago that Maozhou finally gave birth to a rebellion, and it has not yet been quelled.

When Tang Zhao finished reading it, he thought, Could it be that Mingda's trip was for the purpose of suppressing rebellion?Later, I thought about the time it took to transmit the news, and felt that when she asked for an order to leave the capital, the Maozhou Rebellion should not have happened yet, and the news was only obtained halfway.

But this is not important anymore, if it is really someone from Maozhou, the picture will be extraordinary.

Tang Zhaoyou turned his mind a few more times, thinking of the suicide note left by the county magistrate Li, thinking of the letter of appointment in his study, and thinking of the sudden rebellion in Maozhou, and finally vaguely found a thread in this mess.Then she thought of the dead men in Majiazhai, and the secret behind the identity of "Tang Zhao"... The more she thought about it, the more ominous she felt.

Mingda noticed Tang Zhao's expression was different, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Brother A Ting, what are you thinking?"

Tang Zhao came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing, I was wondering if it's time for you to go to Maozhou."
