Red makeup against the world

Chapter 651 Suspect
Even Lin Anjia was scolded, and everyone fell silent, not daring to plead for Cheng Jinghao again.

Only Mrs. Lei, when the sound of "clap clap clap" came from the courtyard, he let out a scream, ignored his parents-in-law and ran out, wishing he could take his place.

An Pinghou shook his head, he was the good son she got used to!
"It's all gone!" The Tu family has all left, what are they doing together?An Ping Hou ordered, and then walked to the study with Cheng Jing, they still need to discuss what to do next.

In any case, he will definitely not let Tu Manfen and Cheng Jinghao reconcile.

Using Tu Manfen to pinch the Tu family, the prince made it quite clear.If you mess up the errand, maybe you will lose the prince's favor from now on, and you can't reuse it.For An Pinghou, who was so focused on using the prince to stand up, it was tantamount to killing him.

Anpinghou arrived in less than half a quarter of an hour, then left in a hurry, leaving everyone in the room staring at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Lin Anjia waved his hand wearily, "Didn't you hear Hou Ye's order to leave? Daughter-in-law, you take care of the doctor's affairs, and you would rather give him more money than make him make trouble, let alone let him He hates us."

"Daughter-in-law will save it." Mrs. Gao bowed and said goodbye.

In the courtyard, Cheng Jinghao was pressed on Shi Jiafa's bench and was beaten until he screamed.Now that Marquis Anping has given a heavy responsibility, these servants dare not be lazy.Lei Shi jumped anxiously at the side, but he couldn't stop it.

His voice became lower and lower, the dark red blood soaked his trousers, and soaked his outer robe to a large extent.Lei Shi could only cry out of breath, "My son, why is your life so hard?"

After finally finishing the board, Cheng Jinghao was already out of breath.He is not that kind of tough person, and he has no time to get around, this beating is more painful than Liu Qiran's waterboarding.

Lei Shi hastily called the servant to lift the door panel, and carried him back to his yard to clean the wound.He also sent people to ask for a bone-beating doctor quickly, applied medicine, and went to kneel in the ancestral hall at night.What the father-in-law said has always been what he ordered.

……

The Tu family's carriage left the square gate and stopped at an alley with little traffic.

Li Shi said: "Manzhen, you don't need to send it off, we will go back. You'd better go back to your own mansion, Manfen will take care of her for a few days, is it possible that you have been staying in Zhongguo Gong's mansion? Every day Just go and see her."

Tu Manzhen pouted and was about to speak, but Liu Qiran was overjoyed and said, "Mother-in-law is very right. Manzhen is free to come and go in our house, as long as she informs her mother. At worst, I will take you with me when I go to the yamen." Go to Duke Zhong's mansion, and I'll pick you up when I go down."

Mrs. Li smiled, and said: "Look at you, how kind the prince is to you, how about you just listen to me as a mother?" Tu Manzhen reluctantly agreed.

"Mother-in-law, if the Cheng family doesn't sign the reconciliation document, just come to me." Thinking of sleeping with his beautiful wife in his arms tonight, Liu Qiran was in a good mood and said in a big way.

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "The Tu family will deal with it themselves. If the Marquis of Anping refuses to recognize it, it won't be too late to use other means."

The two said goodbye to Mrs. Lin again, changed carriages, and then separated.When Lin Shi and Li Shi returned to Tu's house, they had to inform Chief Tu Shan about their reconciliation.

Liu Qiran knew that Tu Manzhen's heart was for her sister, so she took the initiative to send her to the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, saying: "Please comfort my aunt, don't take it too seriously. You just married the wrong person, and you are another good man if you get divorced!"

Tu Manzhen glanced at him and said, "Do you think everyone is you? You're still a good guy." Seeing him staring at her eagerly, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will bid farewell to Cousin Wanzhen."

"It's about the same. When you see Xu Yiren, remember to tell her that I will come to see the second brother of the Wu family tomorrow." After that, Liu Qiran said happily again: "I will come to pick you up when you are in Zhengzhou, and I will tell the mansion to do it first." Serve that slippery quail dish you love, and have dinner together at night."

Seeing that Tu Manzhen agreed, he left happily.

Seeing him walk away, Tu Manzhen couldn't help but "puchi" smile, "Idiot!" Then she took her maid and went to Zhiyuanju.

……

In the front yard of Duke Zhong's mansion, Wu Zhengxiang was sitting in the study, looking at the file in his hand.

That was an old case that he transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice under the guise of his position.The massacre at the post station in Yuxi Township three years ago was impressively listed.

According to the dossier, it was the day when Qin's commercial company escorted the grain to this place, a total of dozens of people, together with the postman and the staff of the post station, were all buried in the sea of ​​fire, and no one was spared.

What is strange is that Yuxi Township belongs to Luyang County. After the incident, the county magistrate Xie was about to order people to check the scene of the fire, but he changed his mind temporarily and went to Zhoucheng.Unexpectedly, he got drunk on the return trip, fell off his horse, and died.

According to the records in the file, the police were sent by Zhoucheng to investigate the scene of the tragedy.It was found that the post station had been burned to the ground, and many bones and remains were found, but the grain of Qin's business and the carts for transporting grain were all missing.If they were all burned, then there should be traces.

However, there was really no trace of the murderer at the scene, and since it was the season of food shortage after the flood, the case was defined as a crime committed by hungry people in order to grab food, and the case was closed hastily.

But what does all this have to do with the prince?

The crown prince, Yu Xixiang, and Xie county magistrate, there must be a thread between these three that connects them.However, King Qi has the most critical evidence to make him use this as his final hole card.

Wu Zhengxiang took out a map and found the approximate location of Yuxi Township on the map, his eyes lit up.

Yes!Dizhou!Three years ago, the prince was almost deposed.It was Guan Jinghuan who stood up to protect it, and recommended him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds, and went to the place where the Yellow River burst its embankment to provide disaster relief.

Gently tapping the three fingers of his right hand on the table, he vaguely remembered that the grain purchased by the household department went with the crown prince during the disaster relief.Could it be that there was a problem with the food?
Just as he was thinking, there was a knocking sound in front of the opened door, and Wu Sheng was standing with a smile in his bright armor.

After receiving the message from his messenger, Wu Sheng hurried back to the residence without even taking off his armor.He took a two-hour leave temporarily and came back to discuss this important matter.

Seeing him arrive, Wu Zhengxiang stood up and saluted: "Brother." Then he sent someone to invite Duke Zhong to come.

After the three of them got together and set up confidantes around the study, Wu Zhengxiang showed them the file in hand, pointed out the location of Yuxi Township post station, and expressed his guess.

Wu Sheng was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and asked: "The second brother said that there is something wrong with the food that the crown prince escorted. In order to ensure the success of the errand, did you not hesitate to kill and rob the food?" In just a few words, the truth at that time was revealed. Eighty to ninety percent.

Looking into his eyes, Wu Zhengxiang nodded slowly.

"This...how is this possible." Wu Sheng couldn't believe it.

Wu Lie's face was calm, and he sighed: "It's about the battle for the throne, and dozens of people died in a mere area. How can this be impossible?"
