Chapter 105: The Murder Case

Chapter 105: Assassination Case

Author: Holding Hairpin Star

Undoubtedly, the hazy rumors of Blood Moon pushed everything to a climax, shocking both the government and the public, and even mobilized the power of one department and three governments to investigate the case.

However, this feeling of an impending storm was even more unbearable, especially Ti Zhen who felt inexplicably uneasy.

So after hearing this, she hurriedly changed her clothes and hurried quietly to Zuo Fengyi's Mansion. The person who opened the door was Cui Naijin. Seeing that she was coming, he hurriedly welcomed her in. "Yishui said that you must come, and asked me to come and pick you up. Hurry up."

Come in!"

It happened that Zhou Yishui had just come back from inquiring, "Xuanji, you sit down first."

Ti Zhen didn't bother to sit down and just asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Yishui took off his black gauze hat and shook his head, "The whole team of guards are all dead, not even a dog is left. Those who died so tragically are just like an unreasonable massacre!"

Ti Zhen blew out a breath, "Is there no evidence to prove it?"

Zhou Yishui took a sip of tea and felt very confused, "I'm also confused. I haven't heard of anyone Li Rui usually has a grudge with, just a grudge... He is a third-rank official in the imperial court, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Shangshu Province.

Who dared to kill Xiong Xinbao and bring trouble to himself? I was thinking it was one of Nanyang King and Shenjun King, but it seems that they don't have the courage. Even if they did, they wouldn't be so stupid as to kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand!

"

Ti Zhen continued to ask: "Have you passed the examination for finding a man to be a slave? When did you die?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yishui also felt that it was a coincidence, "Just yesterday, after you left with His Highness, Li Rui also resigned and took a step ahead. Unexpectedly, he was killed by an assassin as soon as he entered Shilanlan Street."

Nai Jin silently squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "When the storm comes suddenly, I'm afraid the undercurrent is raging. If it is like this on the surface, will it be quiet secretly?"

The breath of danger is always short of legs and can run the fastest. It can spread to every pore of a person's body, standing uneasily everywhere.

Zhou Yishui leaned back on the cushion, "Jing Zhaoyin and Ting Wei Si Zheng envoys have gone to Li Rui's house to interrogate him." Suddenly he remembered something and his eyes were ignited again, "Did you know that Li Rui was once an old subordinate of Prince Duan Hui?

"

Ti Zhen said that he knew, "It is precisely because of knowing that I felt that this was inappropriate. A few days ago, Wen Yu also said that Li Rui had shown good intentions to him. Even if the King of Nanyang knew that the Tian Cao tribe was shot down by the Jiyin Prince's Palace,

, and he won’t use his staff to frame Wen Yu!”

She thought carefully, "If we can't handle this matter, there will be a third envoy."

Zhou Yishui took over and said, "I know some old news about Li Rui. I just heard that Aunt Feng in his family... was a prostitute. When Emperor Gaozu was Emperor Gaozu, he was reported to have hired an official prostitute privately. Later, he still

Hu Yanyan came forward to calm things down."

He slowly raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid His Highness also knows about this."

At that moment, Ti Zhen seemed to sense the conspiracy. She seemed to know that something was about to brew, but she didn't know what it would be. It was this kind of uncertainty that made her even more unsettled.

Zhou Yishui hesitated, "And yesterday... Zou Jiping was also at Shanglinyuan, and he won a bet with a pony slave."

Hearing this person's name again, Ti Zhen was slightly startled, "Is there any action in Nanyuan?"

He waved his hand and said the situation was calm, "Zou Jiping returned to Nanyang Prince's Mansion with Prince Nanyang last night. There is nothing suspicious about it."

While they were still talking in the room, a tall figure from outside Langwu rushed in, "Sorry, sir, just now Jing Zhaoyin and Ting Weisi went to Li Shangshu's house to investigate. Mrs. Li and Aunt Feng were both martyred, and Mrs. Li stayed behind.

The suicide note directly pointed out that King Jiyin used Li Rui to pay for an official prostitute privately, and... and they also found King Jiyin's jade token near Shanlan Street!"

Ti Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat in a chair, holding on for a long time, "He really went for Wen Yu..."

Zhou Yishui was also anxious, "What about His Highness now?"

"The emperor has ordered Ting Weisi and Jing Zhaoyin to lead people for questioning. I'm afraid they are on the way now."

When Ti Zhen heard that the emperor had issued an arrest warrant, he could not sit still. He hurriedly raised his sleeves and asked Cao You to prepare a car and make sure to go back to his hometown in person.

Soon after, she happened to step into Songfeng Xie Yuzhai, and people from the back foot and the other departments arrived with a large group of people.

But Ti Zhen didn't care so much, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wen Yu's hand. Seeing this scene, people in the government and departments did not dare to be harsh, so they had to scold, "We are following His Majesty's decree to lead King Ji Yin."

Go to Tingweisi to interrogate, does the princess want to stop Zhao Ming?"

"Of course I don't dare, but if you want to take my husband away, aren't wives allowed to look at their husbands again?"

Wen Yu seemed to have known about the catastrophe, so he calmly held her hand and motioned for her to leave.

But Ti Zhen shook his head, stood up on his toes and hugged him, rested his head on his shoulder, and said softly: "You have to believe me..."

Wen Yu smiled slightly, patted her back, and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "A young eunuch rubbed against me yesterday. I think the jade medal was gone at that time. As for Li Rui, I have no dealings with him."

.”

Even if he had the intention to tell the news, so what, the evidence was too little, and Wen Yu knew it was insufficient after telling her, but now he was not afraid, he just comforted her, "Someone is prepared, no matter what the result is, you have to cherish it. It's necessary."

At that time, you can abandon me to protect yourself."

Ti Zhen only felt the pain in his heart, but the strength in his hand became tighter. "If the tip of the knife points at my neck and I flinch, then I will no longer be me."

There were already formed fruits on the branches of a pomegranate tree. Ti Zhen buried herself in his ear and kissed his cheek again and again, "I'll wait for you to come home."

Wen Yu nodded deeply, like the sound of wind blowing through leaves, with a very intimate whisper, and with a "take away", everything ended quietly.

The figures were getting farther and farther apart, as if they were on the other side that was out of reach, and her mind was blank. She had never felt that her heart was so empty.

For the first time, she felt that time passed so slowly, as if only a short while had passed, as if it had been a year, and gradually passed the evening and there was still no movement. She knew that Wen Yu's goal was too clear, it was rare to be caught, and he was guilty.

, even if Hu Yanyan was tabooed, the emperor would have to attack him several times.

Even if he is not punished by death, how can he withstand open and hidden arrows? Wen Yu has been sick for a long time, so how can he endure the pain...

The longer it goes, the more dangerous it becomes.

News always spread quickly. As soon as the Shi family heard the news, Shi's father hurriedly called Shi Shen to help. Later, Zhou Yishui and Nai Jin also cautiously entered through the side door, thinking of contributing some spare efforts.

So the four people sat in a group and listened to Guantong talk about yesterday's palace banquet. It was probably like this. Except for the little eunuch, there were almost no other traces.

Shi Shen sighed for a long time, feeling very sad, "Why don't we ask Princess Ruyang to help find this person?"

Ti Zhen quickly rejected his idea, "Not to mention whether Princess Ruyang is willing to help, even if she is willing, she can't find anyone. Do you think they will keep the person in the palace and wait for you to catch her?"

Shi Shen added: "Ask Yishui to check the entrance and exit of the city gate. There can always be some clues."

But before Zhou Yishui could talk, Ti Zhen gave another negative vote, "This little eunuch is not the root of the problem at all. Zhou Yishui arrested him, does he dare to point out the person behind it? Or is he already dead? You don't know.

The biggest problem in this matter is the emperor! It was the emperor who acquiesced that Wen Yu was guilty, so what if it was a lie, it won’t be a day or two before the emperor wants to get rid of Wen Yu!"

She raised her elbows and thought, "And in a short period of time, it is unthinkable to collect all the witnesses and evidence and catch the real culprit behind the scenes."

Being rejected again and again, Shi Shen was a little worried for a moment, "Then what do you think we should do? If this doesn't work, then that won't work. Apart from the little eunuch being the key, is there any other way to prove that His Highness is innocent?"

I kept mumbling on and on, and then went back to the whole story, "I told you a long time ago that I can't get married. It's only been more than a month since I started making these things. It's not for you. I really don't want to have anything to do with this bullshit palace!"

Ti Zhen raised his head and stared, feeling angry instantly. Zhou Yishui saw that the two of them were about to fight, and hurriedly poured water one by one, "Let's discuss what there is to argue about. Let's all drink some tea to moisten our throats. There are more of us, we are stronger.

Don’t be afraid of running out of ideas.”

Naijin also nodded, "Yes, Brother Shen, why are you so anxious? Sister Shi is also worried."

Numerous doubts flashed through his mind, and the strange approach to Zhongmeng Xiancheng yesterday came to Ti Zhen's eyes again. Could this assassination have something to do with him? If so, what was the purpose of his plan?

To instigate the conflict between King Nanyang and Wen Yu, we should still take the opportunity to kill Wen Yu...

She meditated slowly and finally made up her mind, "If there is no evidence, we can make our own evidence. What matters now is not Wen Yu's innocence, but solving this matter as quickly as possible."

The corners of her eyes squinted, "As long as this blame is thrown to others, everything will be ruined."

Zhou Yishui turned around and woke up, "Who do you want to throw it to?"

"Just leave it to whoever is disgusting. Chang'an City is so big, there will always be a few people who are not pleasing to the eye. As for the real culprit... it won't be too late for us to calculate slowly." Unconsciously, a hint of opportunity appeared in his eyes, "Take the opportunity to do it."
