59. Killing himself and dying - Evil young man commits suicide and eats the fruit,? Juanniang Xiangfu identifies the corpse.

The rest of the interrogation was handed over to Fan Wuzhong. Lu Xun and Wu Xun walked out of the dungeon. Lu Xun looked at the brightness outside, narrowed his eyes a little uncomfortably, and suddenly said, "Xun'er,? You know? I When I was young, my father would not let me go to the dungeon."

Wu Xun was a little surprised: "The bottom is pretty clean, although it's not as good as the outside,? But it's not too dark."

Lu Xi laughed: "No, the dungeon itself is clean. The dungeons in the imperial palace are closed for shady things." He looked at his hands through the light from the outside, "Xun'er, I told Gao Hongyi just now. What I said was actually not half a lie. I said, even if the child in Yinggui's womb is born, I will not be merciful."

Wu Xun was silent.

Lu Xun lowered his head, put his hand down, and saw that he was only a fist away from Wu Xun, but he didn't hold Xun'er's hand,? He knew that Xun'er would not refuse, but suddenly he Don't dare,? He is afraid of getting Xun'er's hands dirty.Under the dungeon, he shouldn't have taken Xun'er so early,? But he did anyway.He knew that Xun'er treated him with sincerity, so he didn't want to hide it intentionally. The kindness of the father and emperor is only relative to the tyrant. The emperor's mind is not that he never sacrifices innocent people.

Even the queen mother had blood on her hands.

"Xun'er, I'm not a good person."

"...Well, I know." Wu Xun stretched out his hand and took Lu Xun's hand, "But you are a good prince, and you will be a good emperor in the future."

"I may not be able to be kind to my father."

"But emperors don't have only one personality, and Emperor Pingwu is not considered a benevolent monarch, but he has also made many changes in killing Guojue, and the people didn't say that he was not, did they?" Wu Xun smiled, "Xiao Li, I think there is no way to be a good person in some positions, but this is not necessarily the nature of this person. No one thinks that Emperor Pingwu is a good person, but no one in the same town has said that Grandpa Liu is not a good person. Because he There is no need to calculate or plan, he has already handed over the affairs of the world to Uncle Lu. In the future, when Uncle Lu hands over the world to you, he can also be a good person."

"But you are a hero, and you should be a hero. Your life should be bright and aboveboard." Lu Xi smiled wryly, "Have you ever eaten emblica? If the best time in life can only taste sour and bitter It's bitter, maybe you can only taste a little sweetness at the end, I can't bear you to live like this."

Xun'er is no better than her grandmother, nor is she different from her queen mother.The grandmother was the personal eunuch of the grandfather. The grandmother entered the palace when she was very young. Later, she met the grandfather. It was a master-servant relationship. When the two fell in love, the grandfather had already ascended the throne and became the emperor. There is a question of choice.The royal father and the queen mother are even more legitimate couples. They were childhood sweethearts so happy with each other, and they are deeply in love so far. The royal father thinks of abdicating because he is tired of the affairs of the court, and even more tired of the ministers who always want to interfere in his harem.

But what about Xun'er?

He was ready to risk the disgrace of the world, but he couldn't make up his mind to drag Xun'er into this muddy water. Without him, wouldn't Xun'er's life be free from any haze?

"Xiao Lin." Wu Xun opened his mouth to recall Lu Lin's thoughts, and pointed to Lu Lin's chest, "When you feel that emblica is bitter, I will peel the candied chestnuts for you. The chestnuts are very sweet. After the list is released, the case will be over." Now that it’s over, I’ll take you to Shaolin to have a look, to the Sutra Pavilion.”

Lu Xun thought that Wu Xun wanted to change the topic, so he nodded, "Okay." Originally, he also wanted to go and see the place where Xun'er spent the most time since he was a child.

But Lu Li didn't know that Wu Xun wasn't actually changing the topic. He just wanted to take Xiao Li to see the Buddhist holy land that the world said had no relationship with killing, and took him to see the Buddhist scriptures pavilion where he devoted himself to practicing Buddhism all the year round. They are also the most ruthless seniors, and there are countless tablets in the Reincarnation Tower.

Just like there is killing in Buddhism, Wu Xun thought, he was not as good as Xiao Ling thought.

At this time, a black shadow fell from the sky, it was a dark guard that Wu Xun had never seen before.The man in black half-kneeled on the ground, with one hand propped on the ground and the other on his knees: "Master, something happened to the Qiu residence."

"Say."

"Qiu Chengtian killed himself."

***

Moon stars are rare.

At this moment, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was besieged by officers and soldiers outside the mansion, and the crying inside the mansion was loud.

When Lu Xi and the others arrived, the yamen servants were already there, and Jing Zhaoyin was frowning.

"Jing Zhaoyin?" Lu Xi who was speaking was sitting on the horse, his eyes followed from top to bottom.

His eyelids stared at this person.

Jing Zhaoyin saw that he was an unfamiliar young man in white clothes, hissed, and cautiously cupped his hands and said, "I am, may I ask who you are?"

"Take it away! This place has been taken over by Dali Temple."

With a wave of Lu Xi's hand, several people from Dali Temple quickly walked to Jing Zhaoyin's side, and separated from each other: "My lord, please."

Jing Zhaoyin didn't move: "I don't know Shangguan Zun's name yet. The criminal cases in the capital area should be handled by my subordinates. If there is any offence, I will look to Shangguan Haihan."

"Lu Xi." Lu Xi was too lazy to talk to him, and after throwing down two words, he flew off his horse and walked straight to the gate of the house, still holding a whip in his hand.The black horse was also psychic, and it didn't care about the threshold of the house, so it followed Lu Xi and walked inside.

Lu, Lu Lu...

Jing Zhaoyin immediately softened his legs in fright, and knelt down on the ground. This son is actually the current prince? !

The people from Dali Temple rushed into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion following Lu Xie, and the housekeeper hurriedly stopped him: "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion! Don't be rude!"

Dali Temple officials and people were separated on both sides, and Fan Wuzhong came out from the middle. Fan Wuzhong said with a blank expression: "Qiu Chengtian is suspected of cheating in the imperial examination and murdering people. This case has been supervised by Dali Temple, and all the idlers have avoided it!"

Lu Xun changed his clothes in order not to attract too much attention, so Wu Xun actually arrived one step earlier than Lu Xun.When Lu Xun entered the inner courtyard, Wu Xun just came out of it. When he saw Lu Xun, he smiled first, and then ran over quickly.

"How about it?"

"Something is wrong." Wu Xun's voice was low and quick, "Old man Qiu is not quite right, and neither is Qiu Chengtian's death."

"How to say?"

Before Wu Xun could elaborate, Qiu Chao had already come out. He seemed to have received the news of Lu Xun's arrival, and without the slightest shock, he knelt down as soon as he went out: "Your Highness, the old minister has no way to teach his son, and he is ashamed of the emperor and the court."

Qiu Chao's eyes were red, his gray hair was disheveled, and even his clothes were in a state of distress.He seemed to be a different person from the aggressive right-hand figure in the early morning, and Qiu Chao at the moment looked more like an old man over half a century old.

"Why did the right minister say that?" Lu Xi said indifferently, he walked straight forward, he wanted to see Qiu Chengtian's death with his own eyes.

"A rebellious son is unfaithful, disregards human life, and cheats by selling exam questions privately. Fortunately, the emperor is wise enough to change the exam questions early without causing a catastrophe." Qiu Chao snotted his nose and burst into tears, "This rebellious son has been spoiled by the minister. After returning to the mansion, the minister reprimanded him for severing the father-son relationship with him, but he...he took advantage of the confinement and committed suicide. The minister did not know what he was doing before today, but the son did not teach his father's fault. Faced with the emperor again, Yan resigns from office and closes the house to reflect on his mistakes."

Lu Xi looked at Qiu Chao, his eyes narrowed, it seemed that old man Qiu was not really a fool.Early this morning, he wanted to use Ma Jiarui's death as a raft to lead to the case of fraudulent imperial examinations.As for the intention to seek to usurp the throne, Lu Xi is not fully sure to prove this point.

But Lin Feizhang mentioned another thing, Qiu Chengtian gave him the exam questions in order to seal his mouth, but in the end the exam questions that Lin Feizhang saw were different from the questions given by Qiu Chengtian.Lu Xi knew the reason, not that Qiu Chengtian deceived Lin Feizhang, but that the exam questions were changed by the emperor's decree the day before the exam.

In fact, Lu Xi didn't get the exact information. He was just worried, so he asked his father to replace the previous test questions with spare test questions, but he didn't expect to hit the heart.The people from Dali Temple also asked Lin Feizhang about the content of the exam questions that Qiu Chengtian told him, which were exactly the exam questions before being replaced.

At that time, Lin Feizhang only mentioned this matter, but in just half a day, Qiu Chao had already found out the matter and admitted that it was Qiu Chengtian's doing.

But why did Qiu Chao admit it?

Lu Xi frowned, and as he entered the room while thinking, he was greeted by a strong smell of blood and a kind of fear, which was an instinctive fear of death.

The yamen servants in the house stood aside at this moment, and all the work in the house had just been taken over by the people from Dali Temple.

"how?"

Wu Zuo, who was squatting beside Qiu Chengtian, stood up, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Qiu Chengtian was indeed killed by a sword, but there are some strange things."

Lu Xi glanced at Qiu Chao, who was still in grief outside the courtyard, from the corner of his eye, and asked softly, "What do you say?"

"Your Highness, please take a look." Wu wrapped the hilt of the sword with a handkerchief, and gestured towards his neck, "Weichen and Qiu Chengtian are similar in height and shape, but in the way Qiu Chengtian holds the sword, the position of the blade facing the neck of the weichen has nothing to do with bleeding. The place does not match. Moreover, the wound on Qiu Chengtian's neck

It was extremely deep, almost severing the entire throat, which is not quite consistent with ordinary suicide. "

"So you don't think he killed himself?"

"This..." Wu Zuo hesitated a little, after all, the matter was too big, he didn't dare to talk nonsense for fear of getting into trouble.

At this time, Wu Xun said for him: "As far as the wound is concerned, it's more like someone else killed it, and the murderer is an extremely skilled person."

In other words, it wasn't Qiu Chao who did it, so did Qiu Chao know this?If it's not suicide or homicide, who must kill Qiu Chengtian?Could it be that there is someone behind Qiu Chengtian in this matter?

All kinds of doubts were shrouded in fog following Qiu Chengtian's death.

It was night, just as the watchman had just finished his watch, a few black shadows sneaked into the Qiu mansion, and the black shadows stayed at the door where Qiu Chengtian's body was parked.

It was only because when the people of Dali Temple planned to bring Qiu Chengtian's body back to Dali Temple, Qiu Chengtian's mother, the second wife of Youxiang Mansion, cried and fainted at the door. People from Qiu Mansion and people from Dali Temple took care of it together.

As for those black shadows, one of them touched the guard's sleeping hole and sneaked into the room where Qiu Chengtian's body was kept.

A moment later, a torch lit up in the room.

It was Wu Xun who was holding the Huozhe, that is, he just tapped the watchman's acupoints.And there are two other people illuminated by the fire fold, a man and a woman, the man is naturally Lu Xie, and the woman is actually the old bustard of Baihualou—Sai Chanjuan, who is also Qiu Chengtian's old friend.

With trembling hands, Sai Chanjuan lifted the white cloth covering Qiu Chengtian's body, but when she saw that Qiu Chengtian's blood-colored and pale soles had long since disappeared, she frowned and murmured: "How could this be..."

The author has something to say: *Emblica: olive.
