Nongmen Shenjue

It was already noon, Wen Mingyu was the host, and the two of them were having lunch outside.

"Wen Jixue left the capital?" Wen Mingyu asked.

"Well, he has some things to do." They have been under the watchful eye of the God Detective since they entered the capital, and they can't hide it when they leave.

Wen Mingyu nodded and said with a smile: "I found that you are very concerned about the affairs of the court."

This is obviously a test.

Mu Qingyan was not surprised, and his face was calm: "A little personal matter about me. Young Master Wen wants to know?"

Blindly evading or lying is not enough to dispel people's doubts and curiosity, he chooses half-truth and half-false.

Wen Mingyu really showed hesitation, because some words are not just heard, and the impact will be great.

After thinking for a while, Wen Mingyu shook his head, and said helplessly, "Since it's a private matter, I won't ask about it."

Wen Mingyu is the young master of the God Detective Division. From his standpoint, if you guess something, you can ignore it, but if you really know it, it will be very difficult to pretend to be deaf and dumb.Just in case, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, the main energy is still on the court at the moment. Every time the throne changes, the situation will be very chaotic, and it will also impact the Shenhunsi.

Subconsciously, Wen Mingyu was afraid of hearing Jixue, but she still had a sense of trust, which was very contradictory.

After the meal, the two did not leave immediately.

Now that the weather is such that there is no need to rest for lunch, the case does not wait for anyone, so they simply remove the broken table, add tea, and the two of them talk about the details of the case and sort it out.Mainly, Wen Mingyu spoke and Mu Qingyan listened. In addition, the Superintendent of Detectives sent the trial records, and Mu Qingyan carefully read them one by one.

Mu Qingyan suddenly laughed.

He thought about why he was included in the investigation.

The focus of the current case is to find Liu Sheng. One of his reputations is that he is good at finding people.Moreover, he is really good at investigating and handling old cases for many years. Outsiders are ignorant, but they are convinced of his ability, so they naturally think that he is the best person to investigate and handle this case.

A grassroots, really can't be found out, can be dismissed and punished at any time, it couldn't be more convenient.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and a voice came from outside the door: "Brother Mu?"

It's Chen Shiliu!

There were already Jiao Li and the Shenhunsi outside the door, but Chen Shiliu yelled before waiting for anyone to report, showing his anxiety.

"How did you find it?" Mu Qingyan smiled outside.

When Chen Shiliu heard his voice, he pushed the door open and entered. Instead of talking to Mu Qingyan first, he frowned at Wen Mingyu: "Cousin, why did you get him in? This case is so dangerous!"

Wen Mingyu was helpless: "The emperor's will, what can I do?"

"But..." Chen Shiliu thought that King Zhuangjun had been poisoned, and if something happened, would Mu Qingyan not be in danger?

Wen Mingyu comforted him: "Don't worry, I will protect him personally, no one dares to do anything."

Chen Shiliu was a little surprised, and then he looked happy: "This is what my cousin said, don't break your word." By asking Mu Qingyan for credit: "Brother Mu heard, my cousin is the young master, and he is here again. It's the capital's own territory, but if you have anything to do, just tell him."

Mu Qingyan knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I will be careful. Don't worry too much, things are not as scary as you think."

To be honest, regardless of the emperor's side, he was not worried at all about the dangers that might be encountered during the investigation.He even hoped that there would be some danger, which would only expose the behind-the-scenes faster.

It was an accident to be able to participate in the investigation, but on the other hand, it was also an opportunity.

He will have a clearer understanding of the forces of all parties, and the information held by the God Detective Division is by no means ordinary.

Chen Shiliuzhi stayed for a while and then left.

Next, Mu Qingyan and Wen Mingyu are going to investigate the case, and Chen Shiliu, as the son of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, is not suitable to participate.

"Go to Zhuang County Prince's Mansion."

Although the imperial guards of Zhuangjun Palace have been removed now, the small courtyard where the green jade is confined is well preserved, sealed off, and guarded. Everything is as it was when the incident happened.Furthermore, those who were in the small courtyard when King Zhuangjun died also restricted their movements and could not leave the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as they came, the housekeeper of Zhuangjun Wang's Mansion immediately greeted them.

Soon, Prince Zhuangjun also came.

In the current dynasty's nobility system, the prince and the eldest son of the county king are all named princes, but a prince's son and a county prince's son have different ranks.

The son of Prince Zhuangjun named Zhai Peixi, who has just reached the crown, looks somewhat similar to his father, but has a restrained temperament and handsome features.Zhai Peixi's temperament is different from King Zhuangjun's. He looks gentle and unassuming, but he is good at communicating with people, and he is quite rough. He is an outstanding figure among the emperor's grandsons.

"Don't dare to trouble your son, just let the housekeeper take us there." Wen Mingyu first introduced Mu Qingyan, and then explained the purpose of this trip.

Zhai Peixi nodded: "Since it is an investigation, I don't want to interfere, so I will be accompanied by the steward. If Young Master Wen and Mr. Mu have orders, just tell the steward, and the government will definitely cooperate."

"Thank you, son." It has to be said that Zhai Peixi's verbal response made people feel very good.

Mu Qingyan only knew Zhai Peixi before, and this was the first time he had seen him. Presumably, having such an eldest son would give Zhuangjun Wang a lot of points.Not to mention anything else, the promising future generations at least show that they are well taught.

Luyu was imprisoned because she made a mistake, so naturally she was locked in the most remote place where no one was around.

The rules and regulations of the county prince's mansion are roughly the same, and they will basically be equipped with gardens, but the location of the gardens has changed due to the terrain.The garden of Zhuangjun Prince's Mansion is on the east side. There is a lake in the garden. On the opposite side of the lake are rock pavilions, forests, flowers and plants. Going to the northeast corner, it is very remote. There is a small courtyard, which is a place where green jade is confined.

Luyu was imprisoned for five years, and she was never accompanied by anyone, except when she was delivering meals, she was alone.What's more, it's very lonely here, and few people come here.After a long period of loneliness, Luyu's disposition could hardly afford to change.

"Young master!" There were two guards outside the gate of the courtyard.

Wen Mingyu nodded, turned around and dismissed the butler first.

Mu Qingyan looked around, went in and looked at the small courtyard, and then began to trace back——

Although the hot weather in September subsided, for the ladies, the habit of taking a lunch break has not been abolished.Usually the morning is the busiest, after noon, it is leisurely.If there is something else to do, it can pass the time; if not, it will appear boring.

Hong Fei is just a concubine, and she did not bring up her son after she gave birth, but was raised by side concubine Zhao since childhood.

This is also a common practice in the royal family. The birth mother was born humble, which is not good for the offspring, and the upbringing is not good, let alone upbringing.It is mainly out of such considerations that other adoptive mothers will be selected for the offspring born by concubines.

Hong Fei was considered lucky that her son could be raised by the side concubine.

In the county prince's mansion, although the concubine does not have a jade certificate, she still has a status in the backyard, and after giving birth to a child, she will have the opportunity to raise it herself.In the past, there were precedents of accepting other people's heirs. A son is as noble as his mother, and a concubine is not as noble as a side concubine.

Concubine Zhao has her own children, all of whom have grown up, but she didn't treat Hongfei's son harshly.This is the youngest young master in the mansion, he is still liked by the county king, so she naturally takes good care of her.

It's just that the young master is only three years old, and he is the most lively and active. How can Concubine Zhao have so much energy, most of them are taken care of by the nurses and maids around her.

After lunch, the mansion was the most leisurely, most of the masters were resting, and the servants also took the opportunity to rest and chat.

The young master couldn't stay idle and was making a fuss. In order not to disturb the side concubine, the nanny and maids took the young master to the garden to play.

Mrs. Qing had been waiting, and when she learned of this, she quietly went to the garden and broke the lock on the courtyard door with a stone.It is secluded here, so there is no need to worry about disturbing other people, and she broke the lock and deliberately pushed the courtyard door to make a noise to disturb Luyu.

Then she watched the green jade come out, and then walked to the side of the rockery, where the two little maids who accompanied the young master hid and chatted.She found an excuse to go over and speak loudly on purpose to bring the topic to the young master.

Luyu was cautious at first, but when she heard a voice over there, she dormantly peeped.

Hearing that Hong Fei's son was in the garden, and how favored Hong Fei was, jealousy and resentment naturally emerged in his heart.Especially when he saw that the young master was so handsome and loved by the county king, his heart was filled with jealousy.In her opinion, the sky is really unfair. The two are siblings, born exactly the same. Why does the king of the county favor the elder sister, and even the sky favors the elder sister? The elder sister gets pregnant one after another, and she loses one and gains another. What about her?

Thinking of being reprimanded and rejected by the county king and imprisoned for five years, she felt jealous and wanted to cut Hong Fei into pieces!

If she is the only one in the mansion, the county king must love her!

With Hong Fei not in sight, the young master became the target of venting his anger.

She could imagine how desperate and painful Hong Fei would be if the young master died.

If it was another woman, Mrs. Qing's words might be able to arouse the other's jealousy and anger, but it would not make the other party lose their minds.Luyu was different. Five years of confinement had a great impact on her, and she couldn't bear the stimulation at all.

When the young master was pushed into the water, the maids screamed in horror, but no one knew how to swim.

Just when everyone was calling for someone, Zhai Peixi appeared.

He jumped into the water, picked up the young master, ordered people to watch over all the people present, and then sent people to inform King Zhuang.

Zhai Peixi happened to be in the garden for some reason, and ran over when she heard the shout from a distance, it was the young master's luck.If it wasn't Zhai Peixi, it would be to call other people who know water to rescue him. I'm afraid the delay will be too long, and the life and death of the young master are unpredictable.

King Zhuangjun came very quickly.

According to the normal process, Mrs. Qing's existence was very suspicious, but no one paid attention to Mrs. Qing, because everyone was staring at Luyu.They ignored how Luyu came out, and were only shocked by Luyu's audacity to murder the young master in front of everyone.

Luyu was escorted back to the small courtyard, and only then did someone discover the broken lock.

The servants told King Zhuang, and after seeing it, King Zhuang questioned Luyu: "Who released you?"

Luyu hadn't seen Prince Zhuang for five years, she was pleasantly surprised, scared, and regretted at the same time.But she thought that she knew Zhuang Junwang, or in other words, she was deceiving herself. In order to have enough time and opportunity to soften Zhuang Junwang, her mind changed quickly.

"No, I don't know who it is. I only heard her talking, saying that she wants to let me out. She also told me that the young master was by the pond in the garden. She told me a lot about Hong Fei and the young master, saying that they are very popular with the county king. He also said, also said that Hongfei suggested to the county king that I should be exiled to the temple to become a nun." I have to say that when Luyu calmed down, she was not stupid, she uttered nonsense and made up a conspiracy.

This is the real reason why she can live for several days.

No matter how merciful King Zhuang is, he is also the king of the county. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is not such a simple person.

Hearing Luyu's words, he quickly extracted key information from it: Someone deliberately released Luyu to kill someone with a knife.As for who to kill, it's either Hong Fei or the young master. Everyone knows the grudge between Lu Yu and Hong Fei, and they provoke Lu Yu with the matter of Hong Fei and the young master. Can Lu Yu not be fooled by impulse?

King Zhuang believed this to a certain extent, and Luyu's character was like this, she lost her mind when she was so angry, otherwise she would not have pushed the pregnant Hongfei back then.

The lock on the courtyard door was smashed, and someone did indeed release the green jade.

Next, King Zhuangjun naturally wanted to investigate the matter, so Luyu postponed the processing.

When an accident occurs, those present should also investigate.

It's easy to say that the others are all serving and taking care of the young master, but Mrs. Qing is the kitchen servant, so it's naturally suspicious.

"You work in the kitchen, how do you come to the garden?"

Mrs. Qing lowered her head and knelt on the ground, and quickly replied: "The bowls and chopsticks delivered to the small courtyard at noon have not been collected yet. Mrs. Lin, who is in charge of delivering meals, has something at home, so she asked me to help her get the bowls and chopsticks. I took the key and came over at the rockery. I met two little servant girls and said a few words to them, but that green jade suddenly rushed out and pushed the young master into the water."

Mrs. Qing came before the young master, but she reversed the order.

No one else noticed, but because the garden was so big, she purposely walked around from another direction.

It also happened that Luyu wanted to delay time and made up a lie.Although she made an excuse that she didn't see anyone outside the door, she described it as a woman with a voice in her twenties, which clearly did not fit Mrs. Qing.

Mu Qingyan also knew these details after reading the trial records in the restaurant.

No wonder King Zhuang was deceived at the beginning, who would have thought that Luyu made up a lie, the lie seemed ordinary, but it was very reasonable.Mrs. Qing also lied, but Luyu lied before her, which proved Mrs. Qing's innocence.

As a result, King Zhuangjun's initial actions were all useless.

Later, the mansion was torn up again, but there was no clue, only the princess of the county questioned Luyu's words.Mrs. Qing is also suspicious, but Mrs. Qing said that it is true that she was entrusted to fetch the bowls and chopsticks. Contact, no trace of being bribed can be found.

If the matter spreads out, it will have a very bad impact on the county prince's mansion.

The princess of the county suggested to dispose of the green jade first, and continue to investigate secretly.

Zhuangjun Wang adopted the princess's suggestion and ordered people to send poisoned wine and white silk.

When Luyu saw these two things, she was dumbfounded.

What Chen Shiliu said earlier, there are some truths and some falsehoods, most of them are conjectures and fabrications.Not surprisingly, there are many versions out there.The records of the God Detective Division are the closest to the truth, but they are not as clear as looking back.

On the morning of the third day after the young master's accident, Prince Zhuang was poisoned to death.

Luyu smashed the poisoned wine, trampled on the white silk, and spilled water in the house.Different from what Chen Shiliu said, two strong women soon restrained him, as long as he poured another poisonous wine, Luyu would surely die.

Luyu knew that she was doomed, but she was not reconciled, and finally shouted: "I want to see the county king! I know who let me out, and I will only tell the county king!"

When this matter was involved, the servants did not dare to make decisions, so they could only report to King Zhuang.
