Mr. Kezaku
Chapter 106 Chu Yuyang 5
Chu Yuyang said: "Let's not mention how the murderer poisoned me. What is certain is that the murderer did not personally show up to kill this little girl. Then how did he manage the time? If there is a little more time, the little girl will tell Who is our murderer?"
Everyone nodded, they were all embarrassed, they almost knew who the murderer was, just a little bit, but the witness died in front of them.
"What a coincidence." Chu Yuyang said.
Chu Yuyang knelt down to examine the corpse carefully, and said, "Let's move the corpse away, and then examine the corpse carefully to see if there are any suspicious points on her body."
"Okay, Master Chu." Wu Zuo agreed, and asked people to come in and move the corpse away together.
Jiang Liuwu glanced at Chu Yuyang who was frowning, and said, "Master Chu, your hand..."
Chu Yuyang was so busy thinking about the problem that she almost forgot the back of her hand that was scratched.It still hurts, but not much blood.
Yan Zheng quickly asked someone to call the doctor to show Chu Yuyang the wound.The doctor took a look and found that there was nothing serious, just applied the medicine and bandaged it up.
After tossing about the wound, everyone sat around the table again, all frowning.
Yan Zheng said: "The second person is dead now, what's going on?"
Geng Zhi scratched the back of his head, Jiang Liuwu remained silent.
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm afraid the murderer has no fear at all."
Chu Yuyang's sudden words made everyone confused, and Geng Zhi was the first to ask, "Master Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Yuyang said: "When I heard that little maid talking just now, I was wondering about something."
"What?" Yan Zheng asked anxiously.
Chu Yuyang said: "The little girl said, that person admitted it himself."
"Yes." Geng Zhi nodded and said, "Why did the murderer admit that he is the murderer? Does he want to surrender?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "Now I know. He is completely confident."
"Lord Chu, we don't know what it means." Geng Zhi said.
Chu Yuyang said: "That person is not afraid of what the little maid said to us at all. He is probably not afraid that the little maid will die if she can't say his name, but that even if she says his name, we won't die." Method."
Yan Zheng said in surprise: "How is this possible? Who has such a great ability, is there someone more powerful than His Majesty? It would be good if His Majesty came forward."
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's not that he's so powerful, I'm afraid it's because he has the conditions to kill someone."
After Chu Yuyang said this, everyone suddenly realized.
That person was not afraid of the little girl telling others his name, even if the little girl testified against him, but he could produce an alibi to prove that he was not the murderer at all.Just like Chu Yuyang, although his jade pendant appeared in the hands of the deceased, he had a definite alibi, so it was impossible to identify him as the murderer.
And the fact that the little maid died in front of them was probably a blow from the murderer.The murderer was showing off to them, mocking them.
Yan Zheng said, "Then what should we do now?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Geng Zhi, have you questioned everyone in the Wu family?"
Geng Zhi nodded and said, "I have cross-examined and found no suspicious person."
Chu Yuyang frowned and asked, "Has no one seen who was looking for Wu Zhimu before he died?"
Geng Zhi shook his head and said, "No."
Jiang Liuwu said: "Before we rushed to Wu's house that day, no one came in or out of Wu's house. The murderer is very likely to be a member of Wu's own family."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "I still have to go to Wu's house again to find out who the little maid has met before. That person is likely to be someone with sufficient alibi."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu agreed, and Yan Zheng asked, "Lord Chu, won't you go with us?"
Chu Yuyang was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't want to go."
Yan Zheng tugged at him and said, "Let's go, let's deal with this horrible matter quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Chu Yuyang was dragged by Yan Zheng, so she followed them to Wu's house.
But when he reached the gate, the assistant just hurried over and said, "Master Chu! Master Chu!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Yuyang asked.
That Zuo hurriedly said: "I found the poison, it's on that girl's veil."
Everyone was taken aback, Yan Zheng asked: "What do you mean? The poison has been smeared on the maid's handkerchief? How did she suddenly get poisoned?"
Wu Zuo said: "We found the poison powder on the girl's handkerchief, but there is no other place."
"I see." Chu Yuyang said: "The little girl was very nervous just now, she kept pulling at the handkerchief, did you notice that? Did she have a wound on her hand?"
Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is no major wound, and the progress inspection has not yet reached there."
Chu Yuyang said, "Let's go and see the little girl's body first."
After Chu Yuyang finished speaking, she led everyone there.
The little maid's body had already been placed on an autopsy bed, and several workers were still continuing the autopsy.
Chu Yuyang walked over, found a clean white cloth, put it on her hands, and then supported the little girl's hands. The little girl's hands are not delicate, maybe because of working all the year round, there are a few calluses on her hands child.
"Sure enough, she has a wound on her hand, and it's still very new." Chu Yuyang sighed.
When the little maid was talking to them just now, she was very nervous and was habitually pulling the handkerchief in her hand.There were two crescent-shaped wounds on the palm of her hand, which were so shallow that they could be ignored, much smaller than the wound on the back of Chu Yuyang's hand.That was when she held her hand tightly, the mark made by her nails, there was a little bleeding, and now it has scabbed over.
The little maid accidentally hurt herself because of her nervousness, and the wound touched the poison powder on the veil, and she was fatal in a short time.
Geng Zhi said nervously, "Master Chu, how is your wound? Didn't the girl grab the back of your hand just now?"
Chu Yuyang looked at the back of her bandaged hand, and said, "There shouldn't be any problem, isn't this poison quick? If I were poisoned too, I guess I would have died long ago."
Jiang Liuwu said: "Let's call the doctor to take a look again, this is no joke."
Yan Zheng also agreed, he was startled when he heard it just now, the poison powder was actually on the handkerchief, the girl touched the handkerchief with both hands, and there was poison residue on it if it wasn't even.
The doctor rushed over again in a hurry, untied the wound on Chu Yuyang's hand, and checked again.But fortunately, no problem was found out, and it was bandaged again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then prepared to rush to Wu's house.
The Wu family didn't know that the little maid was dead, but the little maid was from the Wu family, so they must have been informed.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately became annoyed, and said, "What happened to your Dali Temple? People in my family died in Dali Temple for no apparent reason. This... I think the murderer is your Dali Temple." people!"
Chu Yuyang didn't want to talk to Mrs. Wu at all, it was clearly just messing around.
Geng Zhi said: "Mrs. Wu, we are here to continue the investigation. We want to ask what the Wu family has been doing since Wu Zhimu's death yesterday and until just now."
Mrs. Wu immediately opened her eyes and said, "You guys! Don't bully people too much! You have been interrogated at the mansion yesterday, and you are here to interrogate again today. Do you really think that everyone in the Wu family is a prisoner?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Madam Wu, we are here to investigate the case. If you really don't want to investigate the murderer who killed Wu Zhimu, we really have nothing to do, can't we? Madam Wu is not guilty, is she?"
"What did you say?" Mrs. Wu said loudly: "It is clear that you killed my son, how dare you be arrogant? You think you are a queen, but my master used to be the emperor's benefactor. He will give you some money when he comes down." Divide thin noodles, let alone you."
"Don't be rude." General Wu suddenly strode in and said, "Dali Temple is ordered to investigate the case. We'd better not interfere and let them investigate."
"Master!" Mrs. Wu was a little unwilling, but she shook her handkerchief and left.
The Wu family had a Wu Zhimu who died before, and people were already in panic, but now a little maid died, and the two died one after another, which made the Wu family even more afraid.
Chu Yuyang said: "Let's go to another little maid first and ask."
There were two little maids who served Wu Zhimu, one of them died, and now only the other one is left.
The little maid was in the yard this time, sweeping the ground with a broom, but she stopped for a moment after sweeping twice, she seemed to be preoccupied, and she was staring at the air in a daze.
When Chu Yuyang and the others walked in, the little maid turned around immediately, as if she heard the movement, she was startled, and the broom in her hand almost fell to the ground.
The little servant girl was relieved to see that they were here, but when she looked again, she seemed to be looking for someone again.
Chu Yuyang looked at her, walked over, told her concisely what had happened, and asked her who the dead maid had seen since Wu Zhimu's death yesterday.
The little maid was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the person to die, this time the broom in her hand really fell on the ground, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't help herself, she was at a loss.
"Why, how could it be... dead..." the little maid said in disbelief.
This little maid is called Manshu, and she has served Wu Zhimu together with another little maid for many years, and the relationship between the two is not bad.
Man Shu slowed down for a while, and said, "I haven't seen anyone, but I'm with you."
Geng Zhi said, "If you think about it again, she must have met someone, otherwise how would the murderer find her and confess to her?"
Man Shu frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "Really, I didn't lie, I really haven't met anyone."
According to Manshu's recollection, because of Wu Zhimu's incident yesterday, the two of them were terrified, and they were both very scared.Both of them are maidservants who have never seen the world, and this is the first time they have seen a dead person with their own eyes, and the death is so terrifying.
After that, the two stayed together all the time, not daring to separate, for fear that the murderer would find them and kill them too.
Man Shu said: "We are almost inseparable. We eat and sleep in the same room. No one has ever come to her. She is less courageous than me. Yesterday her complexion was very bad, pale and pale. I still I comforted her for a long time. She didn't seem to sleep all night, and this morning began to fidget again, and then suddenly told me that she was going to Dali Temple."
"What did she say she was going to do?" Chu Yuyang asked.
Man Shu nodded, and said hesitantly: "She said she was going to find the people in Dali Temple and tell them who the murderer was. I was shocked when I heard what she said, and asked her how she knew who the murderer was. She told me ..."
The little maid also told Man Shu that the murderer said it himself, and it was absolutely true.Man Shu was startled and frightened at the time, and asked her who the murderer was and why she killed the eldest son.But the little maid didn't say anything, just said that she couldn't tell her, otherwise she would be killed.
Man Shu said: "I was also quite scared at the time. She said that she was going to Dali Temple. I thought it was urgent, so I let her go... I didn't expect that she died like this..."
Everyone was silent after listening, Geng Zhi scratched his head and said, "That is to say, no one has seen her except you?"
Man Shu nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "No, last night, Madam came to visit us and talked with me alone, but she didn't have anything to do at that time, we still came back together of."
"Madam Wu?" Chu Yuyang frowned.
Man Shu nodded, and said: "It's Madam. Madam called us in, and then asked one by one, what were we doing when our eldest son had an accident. We absolutely did not tell lies, so there is nothing to hide Yes, I told Madam again. Later Madam didn’t make things difficult for us, she let us leave after asking us. Then we went back to the room and took a rest not long after.”
Man Shu's words did not inspire them, only mentioned Mrs. Wu, and then nothing else.
The little maid also mentioned it to Man Shu, and the murderer admitted it herself, and she never told Man Shu who the murderer was.
They have no way of knowing who the murderer is, and they haven't even found a suspect at all.
Yan Zheng said: "The girl has only seen Mrs. Wu, and no one else. What's going on?"
Geng Zhi said, "Could it be Mrs. Wu who killed Wu Zhimu?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's not like Wu Zhimu died. Although Mrs. Wu may not be very sad, she looks very angry. She is not pretending, it should be real."
Jiang Liuwu said: "I'd better lead people first, and cross-examine all the people in the Wu family again."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Go."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu went to question the members of the Wu family, leaving Chu Yuyang and Yan Zheng out of Wu Zhimu's yard.
"Yan Zheng?"
Suddenly someone called them from the front.
"Yan Zheng, do you know him?" Chu Yuyang asked curiously.
He was a young man with a gentle and handsome appearance. From Chu Yuyang's excited tone, he could tell that this man's appearance was definitely not bad.
Yan Zheng nodded, the man had already come to him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
This man is called Wu Yu, and he is also General Wu's adoptive son. He and Yan Zheng were taken in by General Wu, so they are the closest.
Yan Zheng introduced Wu Yu to Chu Yuyang, and Chu Yuyang greeted him with a smile.
Wu Yu said: "Yesterday I heard that you came, but I didn't see you. I didn't expect you to come back today."
Yan Zheng said: "I followed Mr. Chu to investigate the case."
Wu Yu nodded and said, "Has the murderer been found?"
Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "No, another person died instead."
Wu Yu was taken aback, and said, "Another person died? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Wu Yu went out early in the morning and just came back from the outside, so he hasn't heard about the second deceased yet.
Yan Zheng just said a few words to Wu Yu, and soon followed Chu Yuyang, now is not the time to chat.
Ever since Xiao Yu came here, Qiao Jiyan was very uneasy. The little girl could see that his mood had become particularly bad, and she didn't know why.
The little girl blinked and asked, "Master, do you want me to accompany you to find Master Chu?"
"What do you want him for?" Qiao Jiyan asked in a daze.
The little girl said: "Because Mr. Chu can tell a joke, it can make the young master happy."
Qiao Jiyan said: "Chu Yuyang didn't go to investigate the case, nor did he go to play, it's better not to disturb him."
The little girl said: "If there is something unhappy about the young master, you can tell me about it."
Qiao Jiyan shook his head and said: "There is nothing unhappy, don't worry."
The little girl suddenly said: "My lord, it seems that someone knocked on the door, I wonder if Master Chu is here."
As the little girl said, she hurried out and opened the door.
The one standing outside the gate was not Chu Yuyang, nor someone the little girl knew, but a man in black.
The man pushed a box in front of the little girl and said, "My master asked me to send it here."
The little girl was taken aback, and said, "Who is your master?"
The man in black said: "Master Qiao, please read it and you will know."
The little girl didn't have time to ask any more questions, the man in black had already left and disappeared very quickly, obviously his martial arts were very good.
The little girl took the box and closed the door, then walked back.
Qiao Jiyan said, "Who is here?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know, he just brought this box."
Qiao Jiyan took the box over, turned it over and looked around, there should be no mechanism.There is no lock on the top of the box. With a "snap", you can open it by flipping the metal trigger.
Inside is a piece of white moist jade pendant.
Qiao Jiyan immediately frowned, took out the jade pendant, and widened his eyes in surprise.
The little girl was a little nervous and said, "What's the matter, my lord?"
It's Chu Yuyang's jade pendant...
Qiao Jiyan recognized this jade pendant. Chu Yuyang wore it on his waist before, and Wu Zhimu secretly let it go, but who would have thought that Wu Zhimu would die? This jade pendant has become evidence of Chu Yuyang's murder .However, Chu Yuyang had an alibi at the time, and the suspicion was easily removed.
But then, the jade pendant as evidence was suddenly lost and disappeared.But now, this jade pendant was sent over to Qiao Jiyan.
Qiao Jiyan asked, "Who sent it?"
The little girl shook her head, she didn't recognize him, recalled it carefully, and said, "It's a tall, thin man with a straight face, dressed in black, and with long eyes..."
The little girl described the man's appearance carefully, and Qiao Jiyan felt confident after hearing a few words, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Qiao Jiyan stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while."
The little girl said, "Master, where are you going?"
Qiao Jiyan had already jumped, he didn't even go through the gate, he jumped over the wall and went out, there was no time to answer the little girl's words.
Qiao Jiyan left in a hurry, leaving the city all the way to a place he was familiar with.
There is a house in front, it looks extremely quiet, there is no one at all.But in fact, it was heavily guarded. Those guards who were hiding in the dark were stunned when they saw the person coming, and they didn't go out to stop them.
Qiao Jiyan entered the house smoothly, and a man in black stood in front of him.
Qiao Jiyan said, "Did Xiao Yu ask you to send it?"
The man in black said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the master."
Qiao Jiyan clenched his fists, then bypassed him and continued walking inside.
Xiao Yu was standing in the yard, as if looking at the scenery, when he heard the movement, he turned around and said, "You came very quickly."
Qiao Jiyan said, "What's going on here? You were the one who killed Wu Zhimu and framed Chu Yuyang?"
Xiao Yu smiled, walked over, looked at Qiao Jiyan, and said, "How could I do such a stupid thing."
"Then why do you have this jade pendant?" Qiao Jiyan asked.
Xiao Yu said, "I just picked it up from someone else."
Qiao Jiyan narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing his words.
Xiao Yu said, "You want to know what's going on?"
Qiao Jiyan didn't speak.
Xiao Yu said, "I can tell you."
Qiao Jiyan was a little surprised that he would say that.
Xiao Yu said again: "I'm leaving Da Zhao's capital soon, and I'm leaving tonight."
Qiao Jiyan was even more surprised. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help clenching his fists, pursed his lips, and said, "It's a war..."
"As expected, you are the person who understands me best. You know what I'm thinking." Xiao Yu smiled, "The battle is progressing very smoothly. Feng Guo is vulnerable and almost defeated. What's left is Let's go to Zhao."
Qiao Jiyan's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's my second brother?"
Qiao Jiyan knew Xiao Yu very well. After all, he had followed him for so long. Da Xiao was indeed very powerful, at least much stronger than Feng Guo.This time Xiao Yu was determined to take down Feng Guo and Da Zhao, saying that he would do whatever it took, so the ending was actually not surprising.
Xiao Yu said: "We haven't reached that point yet, your second brother is still safe for the time being."
Qiao Jiyan's breathing was a little fast, and his whole body trembled.
Xiao Yu said: "As long as you are willing to go with me and go back with me, I promise I won't hurt your second brother, how about it?"
Qiao Jiyan didn't speak, Xiao Yu came over with a gentle tone, and said, "Xiaoyan, don't you want to go back and have a look? After so many years of hard work, my wish is about to come true, don't you? Don't you want to stand Beside me, did you see that moment?"
Qiao Jiyan's lips trembled, and he said, "I'll go back with you, you... don't hurt my second brother, and... let Feng Zhinian live."
Xiao Yu reached out and stroked Qiao Jiyan's lips, and said, "Okay, I promise you, as long as you say it, I promise you."
Qiao Jiyan was in a complicated mood, but Xiao Yu was very happy. He reached out and hugged Qiao Jiyan, pulled him into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed his lips.
The soft and warm touch made Xiao Yu almost crazy. He hugged Qiao Jiyan tightly and kept asking for it, as if he would never tire of it, biting Qiao Jiyan's lips until it became red and swollen.
It was getting dark and Qiao Jiyan didn't come back. The little girl was a little worried, but she didn't know where to find someone.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, the little girl hurried over, opened it, and it was not Qiao Jiyan, but Chu Yuyang.
The little girl said: "Master Chu is here? But my son is not here."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang asked strangely, "Where did he go?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. I ran away suddenly when I saw something. I don't know what happened."
Chu Yuyang said: "It's a pity, I'm going back to the palace, and I brought him some snacks along the way."
The little girl frowned and said, "Young master has been gone for a long time, and I don't know what to do. It makes people really worried."
Chu Yuyang asked: "Qiao Xiaosi ran away after seeing something?"
The little girl said: "Master Chu, wait a moment."
The little girl ran into it, and came back quickly. She took a box, opened it, and approached Chu Yuyang, saying, "That's it. The young master ran away after seeing it."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, there was a jade pendant in the box, it was snow white, wasn't it the jade pendant he lost?
Chu Yuyang took the box, took out the jade pendant, and said, "Where did this come from?"
The little girl said: "A man sent it over, but the young master ran out after seeing it."
Chu Yuyang touched the jade pendant in her hand, frowned, and said, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?" the little girl asked a little nervously.
Chu Yuyang looked at the jade pendant in his hand in surprise, and said, "It's not my jade pendant, it feels different."
"What?" The little girl was confused.
Chu Yuyang said: "Lend me the jade pendant."
The little girl nodded dumbly, and Chu Yuyang grabbed the jade pendant and ran away after finishing speaking.
The little girl was even more surprised, why did everyone react so strangely when they saw this jade pendant.
Chu Yuyang took the jade pendant and went back to the palace. Zhao Xingduan had just finished dealing with business, and as soon as he returned to the main hall, he saw a figure rushing towards him.
Zhao Xingduan quickly reached out to catch Chu Yuyang, and said, "Be careful, don't knock."
Chu Yuyang said: "Duan'er, look quickly, look quickly."
Chu Yuyang stuffed the jade pendant into Zhao Xingduan's hand.
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Isn't it lost?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Yes, but it suddenly appeared again. But something is very wrong."
Zhao Xingduan took a look at the front and back of the jade pendant and said, "It's fake."
"Yes!" Chu Yuyang said, "I thought it was my piece, but it turned out to be fake. When I touched it, it didn't feel right."
The white jade pendant is very moist, but you can feel it when you touch it in your hand. It is not as good as Chu Yuyang's jade pendant. It is not as good as Chu Yuyang's jade pendant, but it looks exactly the same.
Zhao Xingduan looked at the jade pendant and said, "Why would someone make such a fake jade pendant?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I also find it very strange. But I have figured out a problem."
"What?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang said: "Why did the jade pendant as evidence suddenly disappear?"
Zhao Xingduan frowned, and heard Chu Yuyang continue to say: "Because this jade pendant is fake at all, if it was taken out at that time, I am afraid it will be discovered."
People who have never seen Chu Yuyang's jade pendant, or those who have not observed it carefully like Qiao Jiyan, may be really difficult to distinguish the real jade pendant from the fake, but Chu Yuyang has always worn it, and has observed it long ago Countless times.If the jade pendant was taken out at that time, I am afraid that Chu Yuyang would be able to tell whether it is real or not soon.
Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "Why do you feel that someone is after me? They are trying to frame me endlessly."
Zhao Xingduan couldn't laugh anymore. Indeed, all these incidents showed that Chu Yuyang was being targeted, but they didn't know who was following Chu Yuyang, which made Zhao Xingduan very worried.
Moreover, there are very important things that give Zhao Xingduan a headache.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Recently, you must be more careful, the case can be put on hold, and you should not go out of the palace."
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "It's not that serious, it's just some tricks."
Zhao Xingduan didn't speak, just looked at him.
Chu Yuyang was defeated and said: "Okay, I will be careful. But if you don't leave the palace, how can you investigate the case?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Let Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi go."
Chu Yuyang curled her lips, but did not refute.
Zhao Xingduan said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you."
Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "What's the matter, it's mysterious."
Zhao Xingduan said, "Feng Zhinian is in trouble."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was a little confused. Didn't Feng Zhinian go back?
Zhao Xingduan said: "Feng Guo and Xiao Guo are fighting, and Feng Zhinian personally leads the troops, but the situation is not good. Da Xiao sent a lot of troops this time, even if Feng Zhinian uses soldiers like a god, I am afraid he will not be able to resist."
Chu Yuyang opened his mouth wide. He didn't know anything about wars, so he said, "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Now Feng Guo has been forced to give up a city, and it seems that it won't last for too long."
Although Feng Guo is only a subordinate state of Da Zhao, it is not very powerful, but if Da Xiao really takes Feng Guo, it may be too dangerous for Zhao Xingduan, and they must go to support.
Zhao Xingduan said: "I plan to let Yan Zheng lead the troops to support first."
Now in the capital, Yan Zheng is the one Zhao Xingduan trusts the most.However, Yan Zheng is responsible for the safety of the capital. If he is transferred away, the defense of the capital will be too weak.
Although Da Zhao is powerful, it can be said that he is comparable to Da Xiao, but Zhao Xingduan has not been emperor for a few years, and there are not many generals under him who can be trusted to be reused.After he sent Yan Zheng to support Feng Guo, if Da Xiao launched a fierce attack on them, it would be a distressing thing.
Chu Yuyang said: "But after Yan Zheng left, who will leave the capital to?"
Zhao Xingduan looked at him and said, "The person I trust the most is not Yan Zheng, but you."
"Wait!" Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "You won't let me manage the defense of the capital, will you? Don't be kidding, I don't know anything about the art of war."
Zhao Xingduan said: "That's what I mean."
Chu Yuyang said with a bitter face: "It's really not good. I'll try the case. It's okay to be clever."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't forget, you are the son of General Chu, why can't you?"
When Chu Yuyang heard this, she became even more worried.Chu Yuyang was indeed very powerful back then, but Chu Yuyang was nothing but a counterfeit.
Zhao Xingduan put the Art of War book in front of Chu Yuyang and said, "Study hard, you know?"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, there are many people who will help you. You just need to check whether their opinions are reasonable or not, and check and balance them."
Zhao Xingduan thought for a while and said: "Fuying's birthday will be two days later, I want to take this opportunity to make him the crown prince."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said, "He's still young."
After the crown prince was established, Fu Ying became the heir apparent.This prince cannot be abolished easily, Da Zhao has no precedent for abolishing a prince.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The Great Xiao is coming very aggressively this time, I'm afraid the situation will force me to lead the troops to meet the enemy myself, and if I set up a crown prince at that time, it will appear too hasty, and I'm afraid people's hearts will not be stable."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "You want to lead soldiers to fight?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It is also a last resort, but be prepared, don't worry."
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Then I'll go with you too."
"It's too dangerous." Zhao Xingduan said, "You have to stay in the capital and wait for me."
"No!" Chu Yuyang immediately protested.
Zhao Xingduan said: "I'll leave all the defense of the capital to you. If you go with me again, wouldn't there be no one in the capital?"
Chu Yuyang was displeased. It turned out that Zhao Xingduan planned to go so far. There was a reason why he handed over all the troops in the capital to himself.
If Zhao Xingduan's imperial conquest left, only the empress dowager, Chu Yuyang, and a young prince would be left in the capital. If the capital's defenses were placed in the hands of others, there might be hidden dangers.At that time, it will be easy to be controlled by others, giving malicious people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Chu Yuyang didn't have to refute, but he really didn't like Zhao Xingduan's arrangement. It was very meticulous one by one, as if he was arranging the funeral, which made people extremely unhappy.
Zhao Xingduan suddenly picked up Chu Yuyang, startled Chu Yuyang, and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's just to scare you."
Zhao Xingduan put the man on the table, let him sit firmly, and said: "Just make a thorough arrangement, the current situation is not sure, maybe Yan Zheng will be able to withstand Da Xiao's attack if he leads his troops there. maybe."
After Zhao Xingduan finished speaking, he kissed Chu Yuyang's forehead, and said, "I'm also reluctant to go to such a far place, and it will take a long time, and I won't see you."
It was rare for Chu Yuyang to be a little sad, and she obediently didn't tell any bad jokes, which made Zhao Xingduan quite uncomfortable.
On the second day, Zhao Xingduan asked Yan Zheng to gather his troops and set off to support Feng Zhinian.
Yan Zheng didn't intend to take Chen Jiwan with him, but Chen Jiwan insisted, and the two of them finally left together.
As soon as Yan Zheng left, Zhao Xingduan immediately issued an order to let Dali Temple Qing Chu Yuyang take over the defense of the entire capital.
This news made everyone's jaws drop. Although they knew that Chu Yuyang was the queen, and Zhao Xingduan liked him to spoil him, but he, a civil servant, actually took over the defense of the entire capital and suppressed a group of military officers. A group of people were not convinced of.
When the empress dowager heard about this, she called Zhao Xingduan over and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so confused all of a sudden? No matter how capable Chu Yuyang is, he can't take care of this. If you like him, I know that. But this time..."
"No, Queen Mother." Zhao Xingduan said: "My son is not confused. This position must be filled by Chu Yuyang, and he is the only person my son can trust wholeheartedly. When my son is not in the capital, only Chu Yuyang will take this position." Only the queen mother can feel at ease, can't she?"
"What do you mean?" The empress dowager stood up in surprise, she faintly heard the meaning of Zhao Xingduan's words, and said, "You want the imperial conquest? It's too dangerous!"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Mother, we have been at war with Xiao Guo for a long time, isn't it time to fight back? Xiao Guo has been restless on the frontier, and we will never live in peace."
"But..." said the Empress Dowager.
Zhao Xingduan said: "My queen, Yuyang has no experience, I hope my mother can help him."
"I...understood." The Empress Dowager said.
Although the empress dowager is a female generation and doesn't care about major political affairs, there is a party behind the empress dowager that has existed for a long time.The queen mother agreed to help Chu Yuyang, which meant that Chu Yuyang's side was not one person, but a group of parties.
Everyone nodded, they were all embarrassed, they almost knew who the murderer was, just a little bit, but the witness died in front of them.
"What a coincidence." Chu Yuyang said.
Chu Yuyang knelt down to examine the corpse carefully, and said, "Let's move the corpse away, and then examine the corpse carefully to see if there are any suspicious points on her body."
"Okay, Master Chu." Wu Zuo agreed, and asked people to come in and move the corpse away together.
Jiang Liuwu glanced at Chu Yuyang who was frowning, and said, "Master Chu, your hand..."
Chu Yuyang was so busy thinking about the problem that she almost forgot the back of her hand that was scratched.It still hurts, but not much blood.
Yan Zheng quickly asked someone to call the doctor to show Chu Yuyang the wound.The doctor took a look and found that there was nothing serious, just applied the medicine and bandaged it up.
After tossing about the wound, everyone sat around the table again, all frowning.
Yan Zheng said: "The second person is dead now, what's going on?"
Geng Zhi scratched the back of his head, Jiang Liuwu remained silent.
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm afraid the murderer has no fear at all."
Chu Yuyang's sudden words made everyone confused, and Geng Zhi was the first to ask, "Master Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Yuyang said: "When I heard that little maid talking just now, I was wondering about something."
"What?" Yan Zheng asked anxiously.
Chu Yuyang said: "The little girl said, that person admitted it himself."
"Yes." Geng Zhi nodded and said, "Why did the murderer admit that he is the murderer? Does he want to surrender?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "Now I know. He is completely confident."
"Lord Chu, we don't know what it means." Geng Zhi said.
Chu Yuyang said: "That person is not afraid of what the little maid said to us at all. He is probably not afraid that the little maid will die if she can't say his name, but that even if she says his name, we won't die." Method."
Yan Zheng said in surprise: "How is this possible? Who has such a great ability, is there someone more powerful than His Majesty? It would be good if His Majesty came forward."
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's not that he's so powerful, I'm afraid it's because he has the conditions to kill someone."
After Chu Yuyang said this, everyone suddenly realized.
That person was not afraid of the little girl telling others his name, even if the little girl testified against him, but he could produce an alibi to prove that he was not the murderer at all.Just like Chu Yuyang, although his jade pendant appeared in the hands of the deceased, he had a definite alibi, so it was impossible to identify him as the murderer.
And the fact that the little maid died in front of them was probably a blow from the murderer.The murderer was showing off to them, mocking them.
Yan Zheng said, "Then what should we do now?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Geng Zhi, have you questioned everyone in the Wu family?"
Geng Zhi nodded and said, "I have cross-examined and found no suspicious person."
Chu Yuyang frowned and asked, "Has no one seen who was looking for Wu Zhimu before he died?"
Geng Zhi shook his head and said, "No."
Jiang Liuwu said: "Before we rushed to Wu's house that day, no one came in or out of Wu's house. The murderer is very likely to be a member of Wu's own family."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "I still have to go to Wu's house again to find out who the little maid has met before. That person is likely to be someone with sufficient alibi."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu agreed, and Yan Zheng asked, "Lord Chu, won't you go with us?"
Chu Yuyang was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't want to go."
Yan Zheng tugged at him and said, "Let's go, let's deal with this horrible matter quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Chu Yuyang was dragged by Yan Zheng, so she followed them to Wu's house.
But when he reached the gate, the assistant just hurried over and said, "Master Chu! Master Chu!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Yuyang asked.
That Zuo hurriedly said: "I found the poison, it's on that girl's veil."
Everyone was taken aback, Yan Zheng asked: "What do you mean? The poison has been smeared on the maid's handkerchief? How did she suddenly get poisoned?"
Wu Zuo said: "We found the poison powder on the girl's handkerchief, but there is no other place."
"I see." Chu Yuyang said: "The little girl was very nervous just now, she kept pulling at the handkerchief, did you notice that? Did she have a wound on her hand?"
Wu Zuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is no major wound, and the progress inspection has not yet reached there."
Chu Yuyang said, "Let's go and see the little girl's body first."
After Chu Yuyang finished speaking, she led everyone there.
The little maid's body had already been placed on an autopsy bed, and several workers were still continuing the autopsy.
Chu Yuyang walked over, found a clean white cloth, put it on her hands, and then supported the little girl's hands. The little girl's hands are not delicate, maybe because of working all the year round, there are a few calluses on her hands child.
"Sure enough, she has a wound on her hand, and it's still very new." Chu Yuyang sighed.
When the little maid was talking to them just now, she was very nervous and was habitually pulling the handkerchief in her hand.There were two crescent-shaped wounds on the palm of her hand, which were so shallow that they could be ignored, much smaller than the wound on the back of Chu Yuyang's hand.That was when she held her hand tightly, the mark made by her nails, there was a little bleeding, and now it has scabbed over.
The little maid accidentally hurt herself because of her nervousness, and the wound touched the poison powder on the veil, and she was fatal in a short time.
Geng Zhi said nervously, "Master Chu, how is your wound? Didn't the girl grab the back of your hand just now?"
Chu Yuyang looked at the back of her bandaged hand, and said, "There shouldn't be any problem, isn't this poison quick? If I were poisoned too, I guess I would have died long ago."
Jiang Liuwu said: "Let's call the doctor to take a look again, this is no joke."
Yan Zheng also agreed, he was startled when he heard it just now, the poison powder was actually on the handkerchief, the girl touched the handkerchief with both hands, and there was poison residue on it if it wasn't even.
The doctor rushed over again in a hurry, untied the wound on Chu Yuyang's hand, and checked again.But fortunately, no problem was found out, and it was bandaged again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then prepared to rush to Wu's house.
The Wu family didn't know that the little maid was dead, but the little maid was from the Wu family, so they must have been informed.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately became annoyed, and said, "What happened to your Dali Temple? People in my family died in Dali Temple for no apparent reason. This... I think the murderer is your Dali Temple." people!"
Chu Yuyang didn't want to talk to Mrs. Wu at all, it was clearly just messing around.
Geng Zhi said: "Mrs. Wu, we are here to continue the investigation. We want to ask what the Wu family has been doing since Wu Zhimu's death yesterday and until just now."
Mrs. Wu immediately opened her eyes and said, "You guys! Don't bully people too much! You have been interrogated at the mansion yesterday, and you are here to interrogate again today. Do you really think that everyone in the Wu family is a prisoner?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Madam Wu, we are here to investigate the case. If you really don't want to investigate the murderer who killed Wu Zhimu, we really have nothing to do, can't we? Madam Wu is not guilty, is she?"
"What did you say?" Mrs. Wu said loudly: "It is clear that you killed my son, how dare you be arrogant? You think you are a queen, but my master used to be the emperor's benefactor. He will give you some money when he comes down." Divide thin noodles, let alone you."
"Don't be rude." General Wu suddenly strode in and said, "Dali Temple is ordered to investigate the case. We'd better not interfere and let them investigate."
"Master!" Mrs. Wu was a little unwilling, but she shook her handkerchief and left.
The Wu family had a Wu Zhimu who died before, and people were already in panic, but now a little maid died, and the two died one after another, which made the Wu family even more afraid.
Chu Yuyang said: "Let's go to another little maid first and ask."
There were two little maids who served Wu Zhimu, one of them died, and now only the other one is left.
The little maid was in the yard this time, sweeping the ground with a broom, but she stopped for a moment after sweeping twice, she seemed to be preoccupied, and she was staring at the air in a daze.
When Chu Yuyang and the others walked in, the little maid turned around immediately, as if she heard the movement, she was startled, and the broom in her hand almost fell to the ground.
The little servant girl was relieved to see that they were here, but when she looked again, she seemed to be looking for someone again.
Chu Yuyang looked at her, walked over, told her concisely what had happened, and asked her who the dead maid had seen since Wu Zhimu's death yesterday.
The little maid was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the person to die, this time the broom in her hand really fell on the ground, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't help herself, she was at a loss.
"Why, how could it be... dead..." the little maid said in disbelief.
This little maid is called Manshu, and she has served Wu Zhimu together with another little maid for many years, and the relationship between the two is not bad.
Man Shu slowed down for a while, and said, "I haven't seen anyone, but I'm with you."
Geng Zhi said, "If you think about it again, she must have met someone, otherwise how would the murderer find her and confess to her?"
Man Shu frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "Really, I didn't lie, I really haven't met anyone."
According to Manshu's recollection, because of Wu Zhimu's incident yesterday, the two of them were terrified, and they were both very scared.Both of them are maidservants who have never seen the world, and this is the first time they have seen a dead person with their own eyes, and the death is so terrifying.
After that, the two stayed together all the time, not daring to separate, for fear that the murderer would find them and kill them too.
Man Shu said: "We are almost inseparable. We eat and sleep in the same room. No one has ever come to her. She is less courageous than me. Yesterday her complexion was very bad, pale and pale. I still I comforted her for a long time. She didn't seem to sleep all night, and this morning began to fidget again, and then suddenly told me that she was going to Dali Temple."
"What did she say she was going to do?" Chu Yuyang asked.
Man Shu nodded, and said hesitantly: "She said she was going to find the people in Dali Temple and tell them who the murderer was. I was shocked when I heard what she said, and asked her how she knew who the murderer was. She told me ..."
The little maid also told Man Shu that the murderer said it himself, and it was absolutely true.Man Shu was startled and frightened at the time, and asked her who the murderer was and why she killed the eldest son.But the little maid didn't say anything, just said that she couldn't tell her, otherwise she would be killed.
Man Shu said: "I was also quite scared at the time. She said that she was going to Dali Temple. I thought it was urgent, so I let her go... I didn't expect that she died like this..."
Everyone was silent after listening, Geng Zhi scratched his head and said, "That is to say, no one has seen her except you?"
Man Shu nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "No, last night, Madam came to visit us and talked with me alone, but she didn't have anything to do at that time, we still came back together of."
"Madam Wu?" Chu Yuyang frowned.
Man Shu nodded, and said: "It's Madam. Madam called us in, and then asked one by one, what were we doing when our eldest son had an accident. We absolutely did not tell lies, so there is nothing to hide Yes, I told Madam again. Later Madam didn’t make things difficult for us, she let us leave after asking us. Then we went back to the room and took a rest not long after.”
Man Shu's words did not inspire them, only mentioned Mrs. Wu, and then nothing else.
The little maid also mentioned it to Man Shu, and the murderer admitted it herself, and she never told Man Shu who the murderer was.
They have no way of knowing who the murderer is, and they haven't even found a suspect at all.
Yan Zheng said: "The girl has only seen Mrs. Wu, and no one else. What's going on?"
Geng Zhi said, "Could it be Mrs. Wu who killed Wu Zhimu?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It's not like Wu Zhimu died. Although Mrs. Wu may not be very sad, she looks very angry. She is not pretending, it should be real."
Jiang Liuwu said: "I'd better lead people first, and cross-examine all the people in the Wu family again."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Go."
Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu went to question the members of the Wu family, leaving Chu Yuyang and Yan Zheng out of Wu Zhimu's yard.
"Yan Zheng?"
Suddenly someone called them from the front.
"Yan Zheng, do you know him?" Chu Yuyang asked curiously.
He was a young man with a gentle and handsome appearance. From Chu Yuyang's excited tone, he could tell that this man's appearance was definitely not bad.
Yan Zheng nodded, the man had already come to him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
This man is called Wu Yu, and he is also General Wu's adoptive son. He and Yan Zheng were taken in by General Wu, so they are the closest.
Yan Zheng introduced Wu Yu to Chu Yuyang, and Chu Yuyang greeted him with a smile.
Wu Yu said: "Yesterday I heard that you came, but I didn't see you. I didn't expect you to come back today."
Yan Zheng said: "I followed Mr. Chu to investigate the case."
Wu Yu nodded and said, "Has the murderer been found?"
Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "No, another person died instead."
Wu Yu was taken aback, and said, "Another person died? Why didn't I hear about it?"
Wu Yu went out early in the morning and just came back from the outside, so he hasn't heard about the second deceased yet.
Yan Zheng just said a few words to Wu Yu, and soon followed Chu Yuyang, now is not the time to chat.
Ever since Xiao Yu came here, Qiao Jiyan was very uneasy. The little girl could see that his mood had become particularly bad, and she didn't know why.
The little girl blinked and asked, "Master, do you want me to accompany you to find Master Chu?"
"What do you want him for?" Qiao Jiyan asked in a daze.
The little girl said: "Because Mr. Chu can tell a joke, it can make the young master happy."
Qiao Jiyan said: "Chu Yuyang didn't go to investigate the case, nor did he go to play, it's better not to disturb him."
The little girl said: "If there is something unhappy about the young master, you can tell me about it."
Qiao Jiyan shook his head and said: "There is nothing unhappy, don't worry."
The little girl suddenly said: "My lord, it seems that someone knocked on the door, I wonder if Master Chu is here."
As the little girl said, she hurried out and opened the door.
The one standing outside the gate was not Chu Yuyang, nor someone the little girl knew, but a man in black.
The man pushed a box in front of the little girl and said, "My master asked me to send it here."
The little girl was taken aback, and said, "Who is your master?"
The man in black said: "Master Qiao, please read it and you will know."
The little girl didn't have time to ask any more questions, the man in black had already left and disappeared very quickly, obviously his martial arts were very good.
The little girl took the box and closed the door, then walked back.
Qiao Jiyan said, "Who is here?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know, he just brought this box."
Qiao Jiyan took the box over, turned it over and looked around, there should be no mechanism.There is no lock on the top of the box. With a "snap", you can open it by flipping the metal trigger.
Inside is a piece of white moist jade pendant.
Qiao Jiyan immediately frowned, took out the jade pendant, and widened his eyes in surprise.
The little girl was a little nervous and said, "What's the matter, my lord?"
It's Chu Yuyang's jade pendant...
Qiao Jiyan recognized this jade pendant. Chu Yuyang wore it on his waist before, and Wu Zhimu secretly let it go, but who would have thought that Wu Zhimu would die? This jade pendant has become evidence of Chu Yuyang's murder .However, Chu Yuyang had an alibi at the time, and the suspicion was easily removed.
But then, the jade pendant as evidence was suddenly lost and disappeared.But now, this jade pendant was sent over to Qiao Jiyan.
Qiao Jiyan asked, "Who sent it?"
The little girl shook her head, she didn't recognize him, recalled it carefully, and said, "It's a tall, thin man with a straight face, dressed in black, and with long eyes..."
The little girl described the man's appearance carefully, and Qiao Jiyan felt confident after hearing a few words, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Qiao Jiyan stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while."
The little girl said, "Master, where are you going?"
Qiao Jiyan had already jumped, he didn't even go through the gate, he jumped over the wall and went out, there was no time to answer the little girl's words.
Qiao Jiyan left in a hurry, leaving the city all the way to a place he was familiar with.
There is a house in front, it looks extremely quiet, there is no one at all.But in fact, it was heavily guarded. Those guards who were hiding in the dark were stunned when they saw the person coming, and they didn't go out to stop them.
Qiao Jiyan entered the house smoothly, and a man in black stood in front of him.
Qiao Jiyan said, "Did Xiao Yu ask you to send it?"
The man in black said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the master."
Qiao Jiyan clenched his fists, then bypassed him and continued walking inside.
Xiao Yu was standing in the yard, as if looking at the scenery, when he heard the movement, he turned around and said, "You came very quickly."
Qiao Jiyan said, "What's going on here? You were the one who killed Wu Zhimu and framed Chu Yuyang?"
Xiao Yu smiled, walked over, looked at Qiao Jiyan, and said, "How could I do such a stupid thing."
"Then why do you have this jade pendant?" Qiao Jiyan asked.
Xiao Yu said, "I just picked it up from someone else."
Qiao Jiyan narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing his words.
Xiao Yu said, "You want to know what's going on?"
Qiao Jiyan didn't speak.
Xiao Yu said, "I can tell you."
Qiao Jiyan was a little surprised that he would say that.
Xiao Yu said again: "I'm leaving Da Zhao's capital soon, and I'm leaving tonight."
Qiao Jiyan was even more surprised. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help clenching his fists, pursed his lips, and said, "It's a war..."
"As expected, you are the person who understands me best. You know what I'm thinking." Xiao Yu smiled, "The battle is progressing very smoothly. Feng Guo is vulnerable and almost defeated. What's left is Let's go to Zhao."
Qiao Jiyan's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's my second brother?"
Qiao Jiyan knew Xiao Yu very well. After all, he had followed him for so long. Da Xiao was indeed very powerful, at least much stronger than Feng Guo.This time Xiao Yu was determined to take down Feng Guo and Da Zhao, saying that he would do whatever it took, so the ending was actually not surprising.
Xiao Yu said: "We haven't reached that point yet, your second brother is still safe for the time being."
Qiao Jiyan's breathing was a little fast, and his whole body trembled.
Xiao Yu said: "As long as you are willing to go with me and go back with me, I promise I won't hurt your second brother, how about it?"
Qiao Jiyan didn't speak, Xiao Yu came over with a gentle tone, and said, "Xiaoyan, don't you want to go back and have a look? After so many years of hard work, my wish is about to come true, don't you? Don't you want to stand Beside me, did you see that moment?"
Qiao Jiyan's lips trembled, and he said, "I'll go back with you, you... don't hurt my second brother, and... let Feng Zhinian live."
Xiao Yu reached out and stroked Qiao Jiyan's lips, and said, "Okay, I promise you, as long as you say it, I promise you."
Qiao Jiyan was in a complicated mood, but Xiao Yu was very happy. He reached out and hugged Qiao Jiyan, pulled him into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed his lips.
The soft and warm touch made Xiao Yu almost crazy. He hugged Qiao Jiyan tightly and kept asking for it, as if he would never tire of it, biting Qiao Jiyan's lips until it became red and swollen.
It was getting dark and Qiao Jiyan didn't come back. The little girl was a little worried, but she didn't know where to find someone.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, the little girl hurried over, opened it, and it was not Qiao Jiyan, but Chu Yuyang.
The little girl said: "Master Chu is here? But my son is not here."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang asked strangely, "Where did he go?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. I ran away suddenly when I saw something. I don't know what happened."
Chu Yuyang said: "It's a pity, I'm going back to the palace, and I brought him some snacks along the way."
The little girl frowned and said, "Young master has been gone for a long time, and I don't know what to do. It makes people really worried."
Chu Yuyang asked: "Qiao Xiaosi ran away after seeing something?"
The little girl said: "Master Chu, wait a moment."
The little girl ran into it, and came back quickly. She took a box, opened it, and approached Chu Yuyang, saying, "That's it. The young master ran away after seeing it."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, there was a jade pendant in the box, it was snow white, wasn't it the jade pendant he lost?
Chu Yuyang took the box, took out the jade pendant, and said, "Where did this come from?"
The little girl said: "A man sent it over, but the young master ran out after seeing it."
Chu Yuyang touched the jade pendant in her hand, frowned, and said, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?" the little girl asked a little nervously.
Chu Yuyang looked at the jade pendant in his hand in surprise, and said, "It's not my jade pendant, it feels different."
"What?" The little girl was confused.
Chu Yuyang said: "Lend me the jade pendant."
The little girl nodded dumbly, and Chu Yuyang grabbed the jade pendant and ran away after finishing speaking.
The little girl was even more surprised, why did everyone react so strangely when they saw this jade pendant.
Chu Yuyang took the jade pendant and went back to the palace. Zhao Xingduan had just finished dealing with business, and as soon as he returned to the main hall, he saw a figure rushing towards him.
Zhao Xingduan quickly reached out to catch Chu Yuyang, and said, "Be careful, don't knock."
Chu Yuyang said: "Duan'er, look quickly, look quickly."
Chu Yuyang stuffed the jade pendant into Zhao Xingduan's hand.
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Isn't it lost?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Yes, but it suddenly appeared again. But something is very wrong."
Zhao Xingduan took a look at the front and back of the jade pendant and said, "It's fake."
"Yes!" Chu Yuyang said, "I thought it was my piece, but it turned out to be fake. When I touched it, it didn't feel right."
The white jade pendant is very moist, but you can feel it when you touch it in your hand. It is not as good as Chu Yuyang's jade pendant. It is not as good as Chu Yuyang's jade pendant, but it looks exactly the same.
Zhao Xingduan looked at the jade pendant and said, "Why would someone make such a fake jade pendant?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I also find it very strange. But I have figured out a problem."
"What?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang said: "Why did the jade pendant as evidence suddenly disappear?"
Zhao Xingduan frowned, and heard Chu Yuyang continue to say: "Because this jade pendant is fake at all, if it was taken out at that time, I am afraid it will be discovered."
People who have never seen Chu Yuyang's jade pendant, or those who have not observed it carefully like Qiao Jiyan, may be really difficult to distinguish the real jade pendant from the fake, but Chu Yuyang has always worn it, and has observed it long ago Countless times.If the jade pendant was taken out at that time, I am afraid that Chu Yuyang would be able to tell whether it is real or not soon.
Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "Why do you feel that someone is after me? They are trying to frame me endlessly."
Zhao Xingduan couldn't laugh anymore. Indeed, all these incidents showed that Chu Yuyang was being targeted, but they didn't know who was following Chu Yuyang, which made Zhao Xingduan very worried.
Moreover, there are very important things that give Zhao Xingduan a headache.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Recently, you must be more careful, the case can be put on hold, and you should not go out of the palace."
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "It's not that serious, it's just some tricks."
Zhao Xingduan didn't speak, just looked at him.
Chu Yuyang was defeated and said: "Okay, I will be careful. But if you don't leave the palace, how can you investigate the case?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Let Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi go."
Chu Yuyang curled her lips, but did not refute.
Zhao Xingduan said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you."
Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "What's the matter, it's mysterious."
Zhao Xingduan said, "Feng Zhinian is in trouble."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was a little confused. Didn't Feng Zhinian go back?
Zhao Xingduan said: "Feng Guo and Xiao Guo are fighting, and Feng Zhinian personally leads the troops, but the situation is not good. Da Xiao sent a lot of troops this time, even if Feng Zhinian uses soldiers like a god, I am afraid he will not be able to resist."
Chu Yuyang opened his mouth wide. He didn't know anything about wars, so he said, "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Now Feng Guo has been forced to give up a city, and it seems that it won't last for too long."
Although Feng Guo is only a subordinate state of Da Zhao, it is not very powerful, but if Da Xiao really takes Feng Guo, it may be too dangerous for Zhao Xingduan, and they must go to support.
Zhao Xingduan said: "I plan to let Yan Zheng lead the troops to support first."
Now in the capital, Yan Zheng is the one Zhao Xingduan trusts the most.However, Yan Zheng is responsible for the safety of the capital. If he is transferred away, the defense of the capital will be too weak.
Although Da Zhao is powerful, it can be said that he is comparable to Da Xiao, but Zhao Xingduan has not been emperor for a few years, and there are not many generals under him who can be trusted to be reused.After he sent Yan Zheng to support Feng Guo, if Da Xiao launched a fierce attack on them, it would be a distressing thing.
Chu Yuyang said: "But after Yan Zheng left, who will leave the capital to?"
Zhao Xingduan looked at him and said, "The person I trust the most is not Yan Zheng, but you."
"Wait!" Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "You won't let me manage the defense of the capital, will you? Don't be kidding, I don't know anything about the art of war."
Zhao Xingduan said: "That's what I mean."
Chu Yuyang said with a bitter face: "It's really not good. I'll try the case. It's okay to be clever."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't forget, you are the son of General Chu, why can't you?"
When Chu Yuyang heard this, she became even more worried.Chu Yuyang was indeed very powerful back then, but Chu Yuyang was nothing but a counterfeit.
Zhao Xingduan put the Art of War book in front of Chu Yuyang and said, "Study hard, you know?"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, there are many people who will help you. You just need to check whether their opinions are reasonable or not, and check and balance them."
Zhao Xingduan thought for a while and said: "Fuying's birthday will be two days later, I want to take this opportunity to make him the crown prince."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said, "He's still young."
After the crown prince was established, Fu Ying became the heir apparent.This prince cannot be abolished easily, Da Zhao has no precedent for abolishing a prince.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The Great Xiao is coming very aggressively this time, I'm afraid the situation will force me to lead the troops to meet the enemy myself, and if I set up a crown prince at that time, it will appear too hasty, and I'm afraid people's hearts will not be stable."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "You want to lead soldiers to fight?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It is also a last resort, but be prepared, don't worry."
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Then I'll go with you too."
"It's too dangerous." Zhao Xingduan said, "You have to stay in the capital and wait for me."
"No!" Chu Yuyang immediately protested.
Zhao Xingduan said: "I'll leave all the defense of the capital to you. If you go with me again, wouldn't there be no one in the capital?"
Chu Yuyang was displeased. It turned out that Zhao Xingduan planned to go so far. There was a reason why he handed over all the troops in the capital to himself.
If Zhao Xingduan's imperial conquest left, only the empress dowager, Chu Yuyang, and a young prince would be left in the capital. If the capital's defenses were placed in the hands of others, there might be hidden dangers.At that time, it will be easy to be controlled by others, giving malicious people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Chu Yuyang didn't have to refute, but he really didn't like Zhao Xingduan's arrangement. It was very meticulous one by one, as if he was arranging the funeral, which made people extremely unhappy.
Zhao Xingduan suddenly picked up Chu Yuyang, startled Chu Yuyang, and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's just to scare you."
Zhao Xingduan put the man on the table, let him sit firmly, and said: "Just make a thorough arrangement, the current situation is not sure, maybe Yan Zheng will be able to withstand Da Xiao's attack if he leads his troops there. maybe."
After Zhao Xingduan finished speaking, he kissed Chu Yuyang's forehead, and said, "I'm also reluctant to go to such a far place, and it will take a long time, and I won't see you."
It was rare for Chu Yuyang to be a little sad, and she obediently didn't tell any bad jokes, which made Zhao Xingduan quite uncomfortable.
On the second day, Zhao Xingduan asked Yan Zheng to gather his troops and set off to support Feng Zhinian.
Yan Zheng didn't intend to take Chen Jiwan with him, but Chen Jiwan insisted, and the two of them finally left together.
As soon as Yan Zheng left, Zhao Xingduan immediately issued an order to let Dali Temple Qing Chu Yuyang take over the defense of the entire capital.
This news made everyone's jaws drop. Although they knew that Chu Yuyang was the queen, and Zhao Xingduan liked him to spoil him, but he, a civil servant, actually took over the defense of the entire capital and suppressed a group of military officers. A group of people were not convinced of.
When the empress dowager heard about this, she called Zhao Xingduan over and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so confused all of a sudden? No matter how capable Chu Yuyang is, he can't take care of this. If you like him, I know that. But this time..."
"No, Queen Mother." Zhao Xingduan said: "My son is not confused. This position must be filled by Chu Yuyang, and he is the only person my son can trust wholeheartedly. When my son is not in the capital, only Chu Yuyang will take this position." Only the queen mother can feel at ease, can't she?"
"What do you mean?" The empress dowager stood up in surprise, she faintly heard the meaning of Zhao Xingduan's words, and said, "You want the imperial conquest? It's too dangerous!"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Mother, we have been at war with Xiao Guo for a long time, isn't it time to fight back? Xiao Guo has been restless on the frontier, and we will never live in peace."
"But..." said the Empress Dowager.
Zhao Xingduan said: "My queen, Yuyang has no experience, I hope my mother can help him."
"I...understood." The Empress Dowager said.
Although the empress dowager is a female generation and doesn't care about major political affairs, there is a party behind the empress dowager that has existed for a long time.The queen mother agreed to help Chu Yuyang, which meant that Chu Yuyang's side was not one person, but a group of parties.
