Chapter 46 The Three Suspects

One autumn rain and one cold, after the heavy rain, the people on Suzaku Street were in a hurry, and the cries of street vendors became much weaker, which made the shops in the market more and more bleak.

The golden yellow leaves are piled up on the roof and eaves of the house, clusters and handfuls, like golden waves.

One leaf knows autumn, the summer luster has faded, and the scenery on the market is very different.Looking around, it is golden everywhere.The people of Chang'an City couldn't help feeling that late autumn has arrived.

In the Bibo Pavilion of King Qi's Mansion, Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County, was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the koi swimming in the pond and vying for food.

She has been watching like this for half an hour, without saying a word or even moving her seat from beginning to end, like an old monk in meditation.

The maid Huaichun was a little worried and said: "County Lord, why don't you add some clothes, the weather is cold now, and it's easy to catch cold while sitting like this. Your body is already weak, and this servant is really worried."

Li Taiping shook his head and sighed: "No need, I'll go back to the house now. It's boring, very boring. It's said that all scenery language is love language, why can he write about the sadness and loneliness of autumn in ancient times when he sees Qiujing, I It is said that autumn is better than spring. When the sky is clear and the cranes line up on the clouds, the poems are drawn to the poems of Bixiao, but I only see dilapidated and desolate?"

Huaichun bit his lips and said: "Master, are you still thinking about Zhao Mingyun? In my opinion, his poem is like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. He can't count it. He is just a dude, imitating a literati It’s arty, maybe he paid someone to compose this poem.”

"nonsense!"

Li Taiping pretended to be angry and said: "What do you know, you son of a bitch? Brother Shizi said that he asked Zhao Mingyun to have a banquet in Leyouyuan. Zhao Mingyun talked very well and was extremely polite throughout the whole process. If you pretend, you can pretend once, how can you not?" Pretend every time?"

Huaichun was not annoyed either, she understood the county lord's thoughts too well, and said with a smile: "So the county lord has taken a fancy to Zhao Mingyun? In terms of status, he, the son of Duke Cheng, is barely worthy of the county lord. Golden body."

"What are you talking nonsense again, be careful if you gossip like this again, I will punish you."

Li Taiping was poked at the center, angrily "threatened".

"Oh, the servant is afraid, the servant deserves to die."

Huaichun smiled and begged for mercy.

"Let's go."

Li Taiping stood up, Huaichun hurriedly followed and raised the umbrella cover.

The palace is very strict about rules, it doesn't matter how much she and Li Taiping make fun of behind others, but if someone sees her ignoring her, it is a great sin, even Li Taiping can't protect her.

The two walked slowly along the small path paved with bluestone slabs, and happened to see the eldest son Li Jianye walking towards the outer hall of the palace. Li Taiping hurriedly shouted: "Brother Shizi, have you seen Zhao Mingyun these few days?"

"Zhao Xun?"

Li Jianye shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I haven't seen him since I had a drink with him that day, why does my sister miss him?"

"What did Brother Shizi say, no."

Li Taiping half turned his body and lowered his head slightly.

"Don't worry, I think he will definitely go to the Qujiang Poetry Club with his appearance. Are you still worried that you won't have the chance to see his celebrity demeanor?"

Li Jianye understood the younger sister's mind best, and made Li Taiping's face turn red with some teasing.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore, my father asked me to go to the front hall to discuss matters, I'm already late."

After that, he turned and left.

Li Taiping looked at the back of Li Jianye going away, and secretly compared the images of the two in his heart.

His elder brother is already slender and handsome.

But that Zhao Xun is more perfect than elder brother Shizi from any angle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as Fengshen Junyi.

Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?
At first Li Taiping was unwilling to admit it, but gradually she realized that day and night she was thinking about that man.

On Qujiang's side, she has fallen deeply into that kind of lovesickness.

Don't talk about eating and drinking, but it's not much worse.

But due to her identity, she couldn't reveal it, otherwise it would be easy to cause gossip.

It's just that I don't know if this guy understands girls' thoughts...

Forget it, at worst, go back and worship the Bodhisattva again, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you.

It has to be said that Wangcai is indeed the leader of the business world.

In just one day, he sent someone to check all the big families in Chongrenfang who had bought potted plants in the past five years.

Afterwards, he immediately rushed back to the villain's office to ask Zhao Xun for credit.

It sounds like a lot of work at first, but when Zhao Xun saw the list, he found that it was not as much as he imagined.

During this period, only a dozen of potted plants were purchased.

If you think about it carefully, the reason is actually simple. Although Chongrenfang is large in size, twice the size of ordinary squares, because it is a gathering place for powerful people, few scattered mansions squeeze in.And the mansions of the rich and powerful usually occupy a huge area, and when they are divided, more than a dozen families occupy one square.

Those who bought potted plants back and forth were these noble families.

So just looking at it from this point of view is equivalent to checking a loneliness.

In-depth analysis of comparisons is also required.

Back at the Yamen Office, Zhao Xun immediately began to compare them one by one before committing himself to the case.

There are many types of potted plants, but there are only three records involving the combination of Nanban white vine and moss at the same time.

The golden silkworm Gu insect has very strict requirements on the living conditions. To survive outside the body of the host, it must meet the environment of Nanman white vine and moss at the same time. Both are indispensable, otherwise it will die soon.

What is certain is that the person who bought the Nanban white vine and moss potted plant is seriously suspicious.

Zhao Xun was surprised to find that these three records corresponded to three prominent figures.

Left Chancellor Chen Liangfu, Interior Supervisor Zheng Jie, Qi Wang Li Xiang.

These three people were all well-known figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they stomped their feet casually, the Great Zhou court would tremble accordingly.

No matter who is finally proved to be the murderer, there is bound to be a storm.

Although Zhao Xun had prepared for a long time to find out that some important person would be found in the end, he still felt a bit of a headache when he actually launched these three names.

Zhao Xun knew that there was a great possibility that the mastermind behind raising the golden silkworm Gu worms was one of these three big bosses, so every step he took now had to be cautious.If there is a slight mistake, he will fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.

Just who to start with?

Is it Zheng Jie, the eunuch who is under one person and above ten thousand people?
Or is it Chen Liangfu, the left prime minister who calls the wind and rain in the court?

Or is it the King of Qi Li Xiang who is well-known and loved by Emperor Xianlong?
In the end, Zhao Xun decided to start with the simplest one.

Qi Wang Li Xiang!
After all, he has a lot of friendship with Li Taiping, the county lord of Yonghe, and Li Jianye, the son of Prince Qi, so he can find various reasons to go to Prince Qi's mansion to investigate the case secretly, so it is not easy to arouse suspicion.

As for Zheng Jie and Chen Liangfu, let's see when the time comes.

If it doesn't work, you can use the method of elimination.

After all, after all unreasonable assumptions are eliminated, the remaining one, no matter how unreasonable, is the truth.
