Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 89 The mastermind behind the scenes

Lang Zhuo and his entourage had just reined in their horses and stood in front of the Lang Mansion when Li Jian's carriage hurriedly chased them from the entrance of the alley.

After getting off the car and saluting, Li Jian said: "When the official heard from the people at the city gate that the Lord was back, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment and came quickly."

Lang Zhuo dismounted, followed by Aofeng Qingyang, and the others retreated first. Li Jian followed Lang Zhuo into Lang's house.

Li Jian said: "The official personally interrogated him in the prison of the Criminal Department. After several days and nights, I finally got some clues."

Lang Zhuo suddenly stopped, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Does Master Pei know?"

Pei Qin originally wanted his confidant to interrogate the assassin, but because it was Lang Zhuo who was assassinated outside Fengyang City, Lang Zhuo asked Li Jian to interrogate him, but Pei Qin refused, so Li Jian could only enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but Pei Qin was still the confidant in the arrangement. Staring from the sidelines.

The two assassins had been tortured to the point of dying. At the stall where they were dying, Li Jian lied that his family members had been found, threatened them, and then recruited someone to come out.

Li Jian shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "The criminal said it into the ear of the official before he died. Only the official knew about it and it was not recorded in the file."

Lang Zhuo's expression became more relaxed, and he led Li Jian in, sat down in the hall, and served tea to the old servant.

It was the first time Li Jian came back to Lang's Mansion. He was careful and restrained. He sat in a chair and did not dare to pick up the tea cup to taste it. He only said: "The person confessed by the criminal made the subordinate shocked. He did not dare at all." delay……"

Lang Zhuo waved his hand to tell him to stop talking.

He looked indifferent, as if he already knew who sent the assassin who was chasing Bei Sheng, and just asked: "How will you deal with the aftermath of this matter?"

Li Jian was startled in confusion: "Uh... I'll be the official..."

Fortunately, he quickly realized what Lang Zhuo was asking and said hurriedly: "The subordinates from the Ministry of Punishment will still hand over all the files. Even though the criminal is dead, everyone who passes by Mr. Pei is also staring at him. , Mr. Pei should not blame the lower officials."

Lang Zhuo raised his eyebrows while holding the tea bowl and looked at him, "Don't his people report the criminal whispering to you? If Mr. Pei comes to talk to you, have you ever thought of a way to say it?"

Li Jian really didn't think about what to say, so she quickly stood up and raised her hands in front of her hands and asked: "Please give me some advice!"

Lang Zhuo smiled and said, "Master Pei is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, how can you hide it from him? You didn't write it in the file because you were worried about the powerful, but you can tell him the truth. From now on, this matter will be decided by Master Pei, and there is no need to ask me again. Reported."

Li Jian quickly agreed.

I just feel that I am a fool. I misunderstood Master Lang's mind from the beginning, and thought that Master Lang did not want others to know the truth.

I wanted to take this opportunity to show my loyalty to Lang Zhuo, but I didn't expect that Master Lang was so businesslike that he wouldn't let him get involved with him at all.

After Li Jian left, even Aofeng and Qingyang were confused. Master Lang rushed back from Luzhou without stopping. Wasn't it just to find out the mastermind behind the assassin? Why did he send Li Jian away without asking?

There was no emotion or anger on Langzhuo's face. He just lowered his eyes and blew the tea in the cup, and asked lightly: "What's going on with King Leping outside these days?"

Qingyang raised his hand and said, "King Leping has been trying hard to win over the people in the north and recruit dignitaries from all over the country. Many people have already been recruited by him, and they follow his lead."

Lang Zhuo smiled compassionately and said, "Then you go to Zuixian Tower and ask Boran to send a message to Tuoba Lang, saying that King Leping was responsible for the murder of Tuoba Zhao and the others in the capital."

"Yes." After Qingyang finished speaking, he still stood still and continued to ask: "When I go to Zuixian Tower, Miss Puran will definitely ask you about your whereabouts in the past two days. How should I answer her?"

Last time, because he heard that Lang Zhuo was getting married, Puran detained Qingyang and refused to let him go without explaining clearly. In the end, he escaped with the help of Offeng. He has not been to Zuixian Tower in the past few days.

If I go again today, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain.

Lang Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at him. He didn't teach him how to answer, but said: "You are not as smart as Ofeng, then go to Zuixian Tower instead of Ofeng."

There was no meal today, and Orfeng was hiding at the door secretly eating snacks, when he almost choked to death when he heard these words. He patted his chest twice, and after he had calmed down, he entered the room and said, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the two girls of the Xu family. The younger one has to prepare gifts for Mr. Lang."

Duke An Guo's Mansion did not send invitations to everyone, but this year is the first time Beisheng celebrates his birthday beside his biological parents, and those who are usually close to him will go to congratulate him.

Lang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "You have good taste. I heard that a new jewelry store has opened in Beijie Hutong. It's called 'Jade Linglong Pavilion'. You go and pick out a few good ones and give one to Puran. Prepare two pieces for the Xu family girl, don’t ask too much about the price, just pick the one and buy it.”

"Uh..." Orfeng couldn't help but opened his mouth in shock. Didn't these two things happen to him?

"Didn't you hear what the adults said? Go quickly!" Qingyang pushed him out of the door.

Lang Zhuo couldn't help but smile when he looked at the two of them, and suddenly thought that tomorrow was Bei Sheng's birthday. What should he say after meeting her to make her forgive him.

……

The prince's assassination in the first month of the year has not yet been resolved, and Master Lang and An Guogong's daughter were assassinated again in Fengyang. Pei Qin's eyelids were beating wildly in the past few days, and he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

As soon as he heard the news at the door that it was Song Cheng and Li Jian, the government officials of the capital, asking to see them, he hurriedly had them brought in.

The two assassins were interrogated by Li Jian alone, and now Song Cheng has been called in, which shows that the situation is serious.

Without waiting for a salute, Pei Qin asked, "Where is An Zong? Show it to me."

The case is still the original case. It is the confession of Jin Huai, Lang Zhuo and others before and after the assassination. There is not a word in the assassin's confession.

After Li Jian and Song Cheng looked at each other, Li Jian said: "My lord, what I want to say is not recorded in the case record."

He bowed and just raised his eyes, Pei Qin saw something unusual in Li Jian's eyes.

At this time, my heart was beating like a drum. After hesitating for a long time, I stepped back and closed the door.

Pei Qin held the table with one hand and said slowly: "You guys tell me."

Song Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with great respect: "We tried our best to torture the criminal, and before he died, the criminal confessed the mastermind in Mr. Li's ear."

Pei Qin was extremely nervous, as if waiting for Ling Chi, suppressing his emotions and shouting: "Speak quickly!"

Li Jian couldn't help but glance at Song Cheng. Even Master Lang let go of the matter and didn't dare to ask about it. He felt that the matter was too difficult.

Fortunately, he was smart and informed the superior Song Cheng first and invited him to come with him.

Song Cheng was the magistrate of the capital government office, so if he was allowed to stand in front of him, inappropriate things would not affect him.

Song Cheng stepped forward tremblingly and said, "This is Xu Nanyin, the eldest daughter of Duke An Guo."

"What?" Pei Qin felt that he was on the verge of death and took a breath and came back to life. "Are you saying that your biological sister murdered your biological sister?"

Song Cheng's voice dropped even lower, "Those people mobilized by Xu Nanyin have plum blossom marks on their hands. This matter has affected the powerful, and the lower officials dare not record this information."

As soon as the words "plum blossom mark" came out, Pei Qin's heart roared and he almost lost his balance.

Everyone in Meihua Pavilion has plum blossom patterns on their bodies, and Meihua Pavilion is the dead man raised by King Leping. It was Meihua Pavilion who murdered the prince for King Leping in the first month.

The two assassins refused to confess. Pei Qin was secretly relieved at first, but as soon as they died, even the details were revealed. (End of chapter)
