Princess Qin looked at Ye Fuxun in confusion, but Ye Fuxun just winked at her, took her arm and walked back.
The group went to the study. In the study, Ji Yannuo and King Qin were still discussing matters. When they heard that Ye Fuxun was coming, they stood up and went out to greet him.
Miss Cen followed everyone into the study, and put the basket aside in a polite manner: "My family saw that the water chestnuts are growing well, so I specially picked some for the master and his wife."
Princess Qin secretly rolled her eyes: "Miss Cen is really good at borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. Is it possible that Ye Mansion can spare us a caltrop?"
Miss Cen was about to argue when she heard Ye Fuxun say: "Miss Cen, why are you picking water chestnuts?"
"Didn't she say..." Before Princess Qin could finish her words, King Qin suppressed her with his eyes.
Princess Qin hurriedly shut up, and Miss Cen's eyes in the other room were dull for a moment: "The slaves secretly saw the two masters in the study, so they thought of coming to inquire about the news on the pretext of sending water chestnuts."
"What news are you asking for?" Ye Fuxun narrowed his eyes.
Miss Cen: "Ask about the next arrangements of the two gentlemen."
Ji Yannuo suddenly frowned, lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Fulun, passing the question with his eyes.
Ye Fuxun blinked at him, and Yannuo immediately raised his eyebrows and put his hands behind his back: "Is the secret letter from Master Lu on you real or fake?"
King Qin was slightly stunned, and quickly glanced at Ye Fuxun, as if he had thought of something.
Everyone noticed that something seemed wrong with Miss Cen, but they didn't understand what was going on for the moment.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Miss Cen say: "The secret letter is false."
Everyone was shocked. Since the secret letter was fake, why did Miss Cen tell the truth now?
Princess Qin was so shocked that she forgot that King Qin had mysophobia. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and asked softly: "What's going on?"
King Qin lowered his head and glanced at the hand on his sleeve. Princess Qin quickly retracted her hand, with question marks in her eyes.
"Perhaps the prince used some method to force her to say it." King Qin whispered.
Princess Qin's eyes were filled with admiration instantly. The prince was really powerful and she admired him very much.
When Ji Yannuo heard what Miss Cen said, his dark eyes gradually narrowed: "Then what happened in Jiang'an Town written in the secret letter is true or false?"
Miss Cen shook her head: "I don't know."
Ye Fuxun and Ji Yannuo looked at each other, and Ji Yannuo continued to ask: "Who asked you to send the fake secret letter to us?"
"It's the Prime Minister of Luo County."
"The Prime Minister of Luo County in Zhending County?"
Ji Yannuo had earlier investigated the case in Zhending County and knew several officials in the county government that there was indeed another county magistrate named Luo.
Miss Cen nodded and said, "The Prime Minister of Luo County asked the slave family to deliberately expose Master Lu's fish charm, saying that Prince Qin would definitely leave the slave family to ask questions after seeing him. Then he asked the slave family to give the secret message to Prince Qin."
King Qin's eyes narrowed and he looked at Ji Yannuo. Their expressions moved slightly, and King Qin asked: "How did you know that this king would pass by?"
Miss Cen lowered her head: "It was the Prime Minister of Luo County who told the Nu family."
King Qin's face was serious, "Do you know who was responsible for Mr. Lu's assassination?" Ji Yannuo continued to cross-examine.
Miss Cen responded in a low voice: "It was done by someone sent by the Prime Minister of Luo County."
"So you didn't die not because you were lucky, but because you were the person sent by the Prime Minister of Luo County to be with Mr. Lu?" Princess Qin couldn't help but ask.
Miss Cen glanced at Princess Qin, frowned, and responded reluctantly: "It was arranged by the Prime Minister of Luo County. He asked the slaves to pretend to lie down under the carriage to escape death, and then let Master Lu stay.
tone.
Then the slave family took advantage of Mr. Lu's death to ask him if there was anything he needed from the slave family... Mr. Lu gave the secret letter to the slave family..."
"Who has the real secret message?"
"The slave family handed it over to Prime Minister Luo County. A few days later, Prime Minister Luo County gave the fake secret letter to the slave family, and then arranged for the slave family to meet Prince Qin."
"Do you really know what is written in the secret letter?"
Miss Cen shook her head: "The slave family doesn't know."
Everyone looked at each other, and Ji Yannuo called Eunuch Xu to arrange for someone to escort Miss Cen down.
"Now it seems that the suspicion in the secret letter that someone is secretly mining iron ore in Jiang'an Town is definitely false." King Qin said, "Sixth Brother, should we change our plan and go to Zhending City instead?"
Ji Yannuo pondered for a moment: "The Prime Minister of Luo County is just a county magistrate. If he dares to murder an official of the imperial court and sets up a trap to mislead us, there must be someone behind it."
And the person behind this must be related to private iron mining, otherwise he would not take the risk of assassinating Mr. Lu.
"Now, the Prime Minister of Luo County thinks that we have fallen into a trap and rushed to investigate Jiang'an Town. We might as well make a move."
Ye Fuxun asked: "What do you mean, let's pretend to stay in Cuiping Town and then send people to Jiang'an Town to investigate?"
"Yes." Ji Yannuo held her hand, "On the surface we will continue to investigate Jiang'an Town, but secretly we will disguise ourselves and go back to Zhending City to find the Prime Minister of Luo County."
"Fifth brother," he glanced at Princess Qin and said to King Qin, "let's make a plan carefully."
Ye Fuxun understood and walked towards Princess Qin and said: "Princess, let's go have some refreshments together?"
Princess Qin understood that the men had official business and it was not appropriate for them to know too much about the situation, so she nodded and took Ye Fuxun in her arms and walked out.
After the two of them left the study, King Qin lifted his robe and sat down: "Sixth brother, why did Miss Cen tell the truth just now...?"
Ji Yannuo didn't hide it from him: "It must be that Ah Xun's truth-telling poison has hit the person. The person who is possessed by the poison is controlled by the poison and can only tell the truth."
Ye Fuxun took several Gu worms with him when he went out this time, two of which were truth Gu.
Because I was suspicious of Miss Cen, I used one of the truth poisons.
King Qin nodded slightly, and it was not much different from what he expected: "Does Miss Cen know that she told the truth?"
"According to what Ah Xun said, he knew about it, but he just couldn't control it."
The two looked at each other and began to discuss the next plan in detail. Zhending City must be visited immediately.
If they find Prime Minister Luo before the other party realizes that they have learned the truth, they will surely be able to dig out a lot of true and reliable information.
However, as Ji Yannuo thought, in order to conceal the matter as long as possible, some troops had to stay in Cuiping Town.
Finally, it was decided after discussion that except for Ji Yannuo and his wife and the King of Qin and his wife, the rest, headed by Eunuch Xu, would stay.
Eunuch Xu pretended to follow Ji Yannuo's instructions and took people to Jiang'an Town to find out the news, while Xiao Yu and Qiao'er disguised themselves as Ji Yannuo and stayed with the pregnant Ye Fuxun to recuperate in the Ye Manor.
Without further ado, after the discussion was completed, the two couples went down to dress up in disguise, changing their identities and getting ready to set off.
Ye Fuxun is pregnant, but the fetus is just over four months old and is not too pregnant yet, so she simply looks like a plump girl.
When Princess Qin first saw Ye Fulun, she was so surprised that she circled around her: "This dress is so similar!"
