Chapter 191
In the dining hall of Yan Mansion, servants and maidservants came in and out to serve food on the floor.

Thinking of the past few days in prison, and now that he is back home, Qingchi feels like a world away.

Yan Taifu was in high spirits today, and had a great conversation with Lu Ji, the two of them exchanged cups and drank happily.

Ning Yuezhao seemed to see Weng and his son-in-law who would live in harmony in the future. Qingchi, who was sitting beside her, saw the empress looking at Lu Ji, and the alarm bells started again in his heart, and he hurriedly toasted Ning Yuezhao.

"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast!"

Ning Yuezhao happened to catch a glimpse of Qingchi taking a quick look at Lu Ji, and immediately understood.

Seeing that she was in a good mood today, Jiang Nian did not stop her from drinking.

After drinking for three rounds, Qingchi was already a little overwhelmed because of the frequent toasts.

Jiang Nian glanced at the time and said: "It's getting late, Gu and His Majesty should return to the palace."

Yan Zhenglang was a little confused at the moment, and was held down by Qingchi, "Then I will send you out of the mansion."

Although Lu Ji drank a lot, his mind was still clear.

When they arrived at the door, Qingchi gave Lu Ji a push, "Thanks to you today, it's getting late, you should go back home."

Lu Ji thought she was out of concern, so he was naturally happy in his heart. Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, "I will leave."

Looking at the two people who were already somewhat confused, Ning Yuezhao shook her head.

After Lu Ji left, Qingchi moved closer to Ning Yuezhao, and suddenly said seriously and solemnly: "Your Majesty, stay away from Lu Ji from now on."

Although Ning Yuezhao also drank a lot of glasses, but she has a good capacity for alcohol, so she is still extremely sober.Qingchi's sudden words made her secretly a little surprised, could this girl be jealous?
Qingchi turned to Jiang Nian, "Your Highness, Lu Ji admires His Majesty, you have to be careful of him in the future!"

This time it was Jiang Nian's turn to be speechless. Both of them knew Lu Ji's intentions, but it seemed that only she, the confused client, didn't know.

Jiang Nian knew she was drunk, so he didn't get serious with her, he just put his arms around Ning Yuezhao's shoulder, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Boarding the carriage back, Ning Yuezhao was both angry and funny, "Lu Ji was very smart when investigating the case, but how did he get into him, and the matter got messed up, and Qingchi misunderstood him."

Jiang Nian smiled and played with a strand of her hair, "Let them go, everyone has their own destiny."

The carriage drove into the palace gate, and the two just got out of the carriage when Zuo Ming rushed to them.

Jiang Nian glanced at him, "I'll talk about it in the hall if I have something to say."

After entering the computer, Zhu Yun and Lan Sha brought them hangover tea.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Hua Niang is dead, but the brother who just guarded the house where Hua Niang hid her money came to report back, saying that someone sneaked into that house during the night."

The corner of Jiang Nian's mouth curled up slightly, "I just know that this time the matter must not be so simple."

Ning Yuezhao held the teacup and asked, "Have you found out who it is?"

Zuo Ming shook his head, "The people who came here were all dressed in black and masked their faces. The ministers are afraid to scare the snakes. There are a lot of property in the house. They will not be able to move all of them in one night. They can just take advantage of the opportunity to find their lair."

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "Go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zuo Ming stepped back, Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, "It's as expected."

Jiang Qingnian took a sip of hangover tea and said with a smile: "I was disobedient when I was young, and my mother once threatened me that she would sell me to the Green Bamboo Pavilion. Qi Tianyao's ink corruption case was only nine years ago, and the Green Bamboo Pavilion has long That’s right, why did Hua Niang open the Green Bamboo House after she came to the capital? There must be someone behind her, she and Aqi are just the tools of that person to kill with a knife.”

Ning Yuezhao sighed: "It's a pity that Lu Ji was drunk today, otherwise he could have asked him to check the details of the Green Bamboo Pavilion."

Jiang Nian drank the hangover tea in his hand, "There is a happy event today, so it's okay to have a good time."

After finishing speaking, he moved closer to Ning Yuezhao, "Good nights are short, my lady..."

Ning Yuezhao rolled his eyes at him, and wanted to push him away, but he held down his hand, pulled her into his arms and kissed him tightly.

A good night is too short to waste!
The next day, Lu Ji, dressed in a clean and refreshing Shangshang Tiandian, told the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty about the murder and arson case in the Green Bamboo Hall.

Not all civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty paid close attention to this case, and some slightly difficult issues were resolved by Lu Ji tactfully.

After explaining the doubts to the ministers, Lu Ji turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, due to the rush of time this time, some details have yet to be investigated again. I suspect that although Hua Niang and Qi Yu were responsible for this matter, but There is another black hand behind it that has not yet surfaced."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zhi immediately stood up, "The meaning of Mr. Lu's words is that the case has not yet been revealed. I remember that you used the black hat as a guarantee and said that you would investigate it within three days. Truth."

Lu Ji nodded, "Xiaguan did promise to find out the real culprit at that time, now that Hua Niang and Qi Yu have both pleaded guilty, but they were not wrong to murder, but Xiaguan suspects that someone will use their hatred for the Yan family to push them I am afraid that there is a deep reason behind this act of revenge."

Ning Yuezhao pondered for a while, "Lu Ji is right. The murder and arson were indeed the actions of those two people. If there are hidden secrets, that's another matter."

Yan Zhenglang came out, "Your Majesty, I thought Lord Lu was young and thoughtful. Originally, this case could have ended here, but he was still not afraid of criticism and expressed his doubts, which is enough to show his Chicheng character." Heart. As His Majesty said, if there is another secret, that is another matter. Mr. Lu has made contributions in this case, not to mention that it is very rare to be able to find out this step in such a short period of three days. , no matter how harsh you are with him, how can you bear it!"

After listening to Yan Zhenglang's words, the others looked at Lu Ji one after another, only to see that his eyes were covered with red threads and the fundus of his eyes were black and blue. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good sleep for several nights to investigate the case.As a result, everyone echoed what Yan Zhenglang said.

Ning Yuezhao nodded in satisfaction, "As Yan Aiqing said, I will not punish Lu Ji any more."

Xu Zhiyou was not reconciled, "Your Majesty, is this case over? 78 lives!"

Jiang Nian looked at Xu Zhi, smiled lightly and said, "Since Mr. Xu Ge is so curious, I will satisfy your curiosity. Come here, pass the imperial guards to the palace."

When Xu Zhi saw Jiang Nian's half-smile face, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Soon, Zuo Ming came to the hall.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Highness."

"Commander Zuo, tell all the ministers what you discovered last night."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zuo Ming clasped his fists and said, "After Hua Niang committed suicide, I was ordered by His Highness to guard the house where Hua Niang hid her property. But just last night, a group of men in black sneaked into the house, trying to Take away those belongings. The men and horses guarding outside the courtyard quietly followed behind and found that these people had all entered the Han residence."

Jiang Nian asked: "Which Han family?"

"The residence of Han Ying, a former scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts."

Jiang Nian smiled, "Master Han doesn't seem to think about his mistakes thoroughly enough at home, so let's bring him here and ask what's going on. Maybe he wants to get back what belongs to him."

Jiang Nian's half-joking words fell into Xu Zhi's ears, making his heart skip a beat.

Zuo Ming made preparations early, and Han Ying was soon taken to the Chongtian Temple.

"For criminals, see Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Han Ying fell on the ground tremblingly. He was still asleep this morning, but he was arrested by the imperial army. He knew that it would be a bad thing to be targeted by these plague gods.

Zuo Ming walked up to him, clapped his hands, and immediately the guards of the Imperial Army brought a few things and placed them in front of Han Ying.

"Does Master Han recognize these?"

Han Ying broke out in a cold sweat. Isn't this something that he originally hid in the Green Bamboo Pavilion and was later transferred to a house by him?He obviously asked someone to take back the Han Mansion last night, why is he here?

Zuo Ming sneered, "It seems that Mr. Han won't be able to remember for a while, so Mr. Han should remember how many people we meet again."

Following Zuo Ming's voice, several people in handcuffs and shackles were brought up and knelt in the hall.

"My lord, save this villain!"

Han Ying's eyes widened. Isn't this the man he sent out last night?How could it be in Zuo Ming's hands?

"Master Han still can't remember?"

Han Ying was sweating like rain, and lost the ability to speak for a while.

Lu Ji took out a house deed from his sleeve, "After the fire in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, Hua Niang has been living in this house, and the transferred money is also hidden here."

Zuo Ming took over the land deed, and the owner's signature on it was "Han Chenshi Qiongniang".

"It seems that Mrs. Han's wife is surnamed Chen?"

Although Lu Ji drank a lot last night, he was woken up early this morning by the guards of the Forbidden Army and asked him to call out the documents backed up in the government office.As clever as Lu Ji, he immediately realized that there was more to the Luzhulou case.Because the imperial guards didn't have time to explain too much to him, that's why there was the scene of him pleading guilty and throwing bricks to attract jade just now in the court hall.

Han Ying's face was ashen, "That house is indeed cheap."

Lu Ji took out another house deed, "This is a document reported by the Green Bamboo Pavilion on the official uniform, and the signatory on it is also Han Chen. How can Mr. Han explain it?"

Han Yinglian kowtowed three times on the ground, "Your Majesty, I've been wronged! The Green Bamboo Pavilion and that house are the dowry of my wife, but I don't know why they were lied to belong to them by that Huaniang and Qi Yu." ! My court rules, women's dowry, men have no right to intervene."

The meaning of Han Ying's words is to push the matter to his wife.There are indeed quite a few officials in the DPRK, and when it is inconvenient for them to do things, they use the name of their wives.

In the morning, when Lu Ji was looking for the documents required by the imperial army, he had an idea and checked the ownership of the Green Bamboo Pavilion by the way.

Ning Yuezhao looked at Han Ying with displeasure, "At this point, are you still unwilling to take it seriously?"

Knowing that she was doomed this time, Han Ying burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, I was dismissed by you as a cabinet bachelor at that time, and my son was sentenced to be a prisoner. I am indeed dissatisfied with Miss Yan. I am returning home. On the way, he met a man in gray, who covered his face with a black gauze bamboo hat. He asked Chen if he wanted to take revenge, and the minister said yes. He asked Chen to take him to use the Green Bamboo Pavilion, and he could make him get what he wanted. At that time, I wanted to take revenge. I thought that there would be no loss if I borrowed it, so I agreed. But I was worried, so I moved the valuables out of the building first. I didn't know that those people would do such a thing of murder and arson. !"

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian glanced at each other, but Jiang Nian was silent in thought.

Han Ying said again: "I ran into him again outside Shuntian Mansion yesterday, and I thought he must be harboring evil intentions. He said that my minister had no hope of revenge, and then left."

Jiang Nian said: "If you see him again, you might recognize him?"

Han Ying shook her head, "That man's face was covered tightly, and his voice was covered, I'm afraid he can't."

Jiang Nian said: "Although you didn't do anything about the Green Bamboo Pavilion, you also provided convenience for those two people, and you are regarded as an accomplice. Come here, and hand him over to Dali Temple for trial!"

With Han Ying's level, Jiang Nian did not believe that he could make such an elaborate plan, but who is behind this scene?

 Well, the idea of ​​writing a side story about the rebirth of the heroine and the rebirth of the hero suddenly came up, what do you want to see?
