Chapter 189 What happened 16 years ago
After eating, the three of them quietly slipped into the account room in the temple.

The person in charge of the account book is a wine and meat monk who manages the sesame oil money in the temple. There are very few people who want to be greedy. They are all ordinary people who are inevitably tempted by money.

It can be solved with money.

At this time, we will use our rich and powerful Prince Donglin.

Of the three, he is indeed the richer.

The Donglin envoy came to Western Chu, and the Donglin Emperor brought him a lot of silver notes.

He carried 10 taels of silver notes with him.

Li Shao couldn't get jealous when he saw the black lines all over his head. He is also a prince, but he has a lot of money, but he doesn't.

However, Mu Jiuqing has few places to spend money. She has not been short of money since she was a child, but she is not as much as Feng Mingjue. Including the dowry left by the concubine.

People are really mad at people.

It is impossible to imagine how rich their Donglin royal family is.

Feng Mingjue glanced at the two of them, smiled and said nothing, and stuffed 1000 taels of silver notes into Monk Jiurou. He negotiated with Monk, while Mu Jiuqing and the others waited outside the door.

After a meeting, it was settled, and the three of them could go in and browse the ledger and roster freely.

The monk was still very enthusiastic, as if he regarded Feng Mingjue as the God of Wealth, and offered to help find him.

If you have his help, just inquire.

Speaking of sixteen years ago.

The monk touched his chin, "If you want to talk about what happened 16 years ago, let the poor monk think about it."

The three teenagers each had a sitting posture, and each of them was flipping through a ledger in their hands.

His dark eyes shone brightly, earnestly and patiently waiting for his answer.

The monk thought for a while, his pupils lit up, then looked around, went over to close the door vigilantly, and said, "Three benefactors, the poor monk remembered that 16 years ago, the first prince fled and fled to the Great Buddha Temple. Shan, was killed by someone unexpectedly. At that time, the host was alarmed. It was the current emperor who brought people up to arrest him. Unfortunately, he was one step too late. The first prince was killed in the cave in the back mountain... Hey! You don’t know that no one has been involved since then. Dare to go to the back mountain..."

The complexions of the three of them changed subtly, and Li Shao's complexion was a little pale.

Feng Mingjue glanced at him, and asked, "The prince is alone, no one else?"

The monk's eyes moved, and he whispered, "I heard that the first prince took the aphrodisiac by mistake, and had a one-night stand with a girl in the cave... but he didn't see the woman afterwards. The first prince died, it should be that woman who killed her." he."

Li Shao's voice was cold, "What kind of woman is it?"

The monk glanced at him, saw that his eyes were cold and frightening, swallowed, and said, "I don't know, no one has seen a woman, and some people say that the prince was poisoned, and he died without detoxifying in time. .”

"..."

Mu Jiuqing frowned, "Was there any female benefactors in the temple at that time? Did you hear what happened to that girl?"

The monk looked up at the three teenagers looking at them strangely, thinking that they were here to investigate what happened 16 years ago.

This matter is a secret in the temple, and he doesn't know much about it.

He was just a young monk back then, and he doesn't remember much about the ledgers in the temple or the female benefactors staying in the backyard.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Feng Mingjue smiled and stuffed another bank note. The monk's eyes were bright and bright, obviously he couldn't resist the temptation of money.

The monk took the silver ticket and started talking again, "There were a lot of things that happened that year. In addition to the first prince who exploded and died, there were also many distinguished guests from the capital who stayed at the Great Buddha Temple, and a girl fell into the water... But whoever the poor monk really did I don’t remember, but… I can look it up for you.”

If you take other people's hands short, of course you have to do things for them after collecting money.

While joking, the monk ran to the bookshelf and began to search for the accommodation list from 16 years ago.

After searching for a long time, he found it, and he happily took it out. The registration list of the Great Buddha Temple is very detailed. Once you look it up, you can know who it is, how many girls there are, and what their names are.

Seeing the roster, the eyes of the three teenagers brightened.

It's just that at this moment, a few black clothes suddenly broke into the window, stabbed the monk to death with a sword, and took away the roster.

A man in black ran away holding the roster, while the other four men in black stopped the three teenagers.

After a fight, the monks in the temple were provoked.

The man in black has extremely high martial arts and is a well-trained secret guard.

When the goal is achieved, withdraw decisively without fighting.

It happened so suddenly that no one was prepared, and they didn't even realize when they were hiding in the temple.

Mu Jiuqing and the others wanted to chase after him, but they were stopped by the monks in the temple, detained for questioning, and asked to give an explanation to their dead master Yuanzhi.

Once interrogated, it is very likely that the identity will be revealed.

The three of them looked at each other and quickly shot to escape.

A packet of incense was swung down, and a piece of Little Monk poured out.

The three quickly climbed over the wall and left the Great Buddha Temple.

Follow the trail to track down the whereabouts of the man in black.

After chasing for a while, I didn't find any traces.

The three of them rode horses along the river to look for them, somewhat disheartened.

"It seems that someone has been watching us all the time. It is very likely that they know what happened back then and deliberately destroyed the evidence to prevent us from finding out the truth."

"Who will it be?"

"I don't know, I can only wait and see what happens, maybe they will take the initiative to come to you."

Li Shao looked at the cold eyes of the two, his face changed slightly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, maybe he was the legacy of the former prince, they always knew his identity... Could it be that he is not the son of the emperor?
...

After leaving the Great Buddha Temple, they planned to return to Beijing, but they tracked down the man in black, and the journey back to Beijing became longer.

After a day's journey, he hadn't arrived in the capital at night, so he could only sleep in the woods for one night.

Set up a fire by the river, caught fish, and ate grilled fish at night.

Feng Mingjue was very lively and in a good mood. When he got to the river, he took off his boots and socks, and proactively went down the river to catch fish for dinner.

Li Shao was depressed, and sat on the stone beside the fire, while Mu Jiuqing was in charge of grilling the fish, and handed one to him after it was grilled, "It's grilled, try it."

Li Shao took her grilled fish and tasted it.

The girl said calmly, "No matter whose son you are, as long as the goal in your heart remains unchanged, I will support you."

The young man paused and smiled, "If I were the orphan of the former prince and plotted a rebellion, then the entire Prince Mu's mansion would be implicated, and I would be crowned a traitor and a traitor by the world. Will you support me?"

"Well, I've made a decision at the beginning, and I won't change my mind, let alone give up halfway, unless you give up yourself and don't want to be the emperor."

Li Shao looked coldly and said seriously, "Jiu'er, do you understand what I'm saying? I'm the son of the former crown prince, the son of a guilty minister."

Mu Jiuqing glanced at him, "Is this important? No matter whose son you are, even if you are not of royal blood, I will help you achieve the position you want to sit in."

What she looked for was only him, and it had nothing to do with whose son he was or what his identity was.

After a moment of silence, she said again, "You are not alone, you have the queen mother, the imperial sister, the Rong family, and me."

"..."

The young man's eyes were full of astonishment, and then his ears turned red quietly and his heart beat violently. She may have said these words unconsciously, and it may not mean what he thought at all, but he still couldn't help but be happy.

What she said made his mood suddenly brighten.

Looking at the grilled fish skewer in his hand, he couldn't help but happily took a bite, and quietly held her hand with the other hand, and said with red ears, "Then you can't go back on your word, you must always support me."

stay with me forever...

That's what he wanted to say the most.

Mu Jiuqing was slightly taken aback, without thinking too much, she looked down at the young man's clenched hand, which was very generous and warm, his cheeks looked as bright as peach blossoms under the firelight, and his pupils shone with burning fire, she looked at it, and nodded silently ,"it is good."
