Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 163 Playing dirty (2)

Ever since Renzong sent the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He to guard Nanjing and Wang An to guard Gansu, the guarding eunuchs were specially sent by the emperor to suppress local forces. Therefore, the guarding eunuchs were representatives of the imperial power.

If the guarding eunuchs make mistakes, the emperor will check and punish them, and the local government has absolutely no control over them. But now, the representative of the imperial power in Huai'an had his heart and lungs ripped out overnight.

Huai'an is a canal hub and control center. The local system is somewhat different from other places. The Chief Envoys Division all commands the Envoys Division. According to the conventional three divisions of the Inspectorate Division, Huai'an has actually been suppressed and replaced by the three local divisions.

Above the head are the governor in charge of government affairs, the general in charge of military affairs, and the guarding eunuch who represents the imperial power and monitors officials.

Ang Lee’s pivotal role can be seen from this.

However, such an important person, a representative of imperial power, died unexpectedly.

At this already tumultuous time, he died silently and vigorously.

Everyone foresaw that an uproar had begun.

The guarding eunuch's mansion was tightly sealed, and the courtyard where the accident occurred was even more airtight. Qiu Naicheng, Cao Kaihe, Hu Xing, and the prefect of Huai'an stood in the courtyard with gloomy expressions, waiting for the results of the on-site investigation under the command of Zheng Bin.

Cases like this are no longer something that can be discussed at the local level, and can only be handed over to the Jin Yiwei. But when it comes to fault, it is regardless of the level, and no one can be spared. All the forces gathered in the shortest possible time, at least

It seems that they are working together to solve this big case hanging on their necks first.

Zheng Bin had been trained in the imperial prison of Fusi in Beizhen for a long time. Under torture, it was difficult for outsiders to describe how many tragic deaths he suffered. However, Li Zheng remained calm despite Li Zheng's unbelievable tragic situation, and only rested indoors.

Step by step, watching carefully.

However, the calm was soon broken. When Wu Zuo put a blood-soaked jade pendant into the tray, his eyes instantly froze.

It was pulled out by Wu Zuo from the pool of dried blood under Li Zheng's body. It was a piece of safe jade button. The jade quality was shiny and smooth. The button head was inlaid with gilt cloud patterns. The jade shape was simple and the gold decoration was exquisite. It was not extraordinary.

Wu Zuo thought it was Li An's jade pendant and put it in a tray with Li An's other accessories.

Zheng Bin recognized that piece of jade, he had seen it on Shen Huai.

Could it be a coincidence?

The housekeeper had already said that Li Zheng had been to Zhou's house yesterday, and Shen Huai had also been here before, but they left without stopping after entering the house...

A school captain came in a hurry and reported that Xia Qingfeng could not be found in Qingfeng Tower because after Xia Qingfeng went back last night, he said he was afraid of Li Zheng's power and went out early to avoid disaster. According to the doctor who was invited to Qingfeng Tower last night for medical treatment,

, Xia Qingfeng’s ten fingers were bloody and bloody, obviously caused by long-term plucking of the strings.

It is not an anecdote that eunuchs are domineering. Although Li Zheng does not like to be a monster, he does have a lascivious hobby. The number of women raised in the palace is no less than that of ordinary officials.

It seems that Xia Qingfeng's move to avoid disaster is indeed reasonable.

What's more, all the doubts were actually focused on the mysterious young alchemist.

Zheng Bin remained calm and interrogated everyone who had met the alchemist Song Jin yesterday one by one.

""The Law of Generating Momentum"?"

"A spell that can regenerate those words?"

Zheng Bin looked weird. This Li An didn't look that stupid. Could it be that he was really possessed?

"Exactly. The young one was standing close to the pavilion at first. If he looked carefully, the note was probably still in this room," the steward said.

The smart man promptly handed over the piece of paper he found in the room.

"Sir, this is not my father-in-law's jade." The housekeeper had seen the world, but he was still shaking slightly as he knelt on the ground, as if the blood on the jade pendant would poison people, and his voice was tight, "I think it is, I think it is worn by the alchemist. ?”

"Have you seen it?"

"No! I didn't see it..."

"When you make blind guesses about things you haven't seen, you should make it clear."

"Yes, yes!"

"Tell me about the alchemist's condition, his figure, face, and accent. Describe them in detail."

Zheng Bin looked at the back of the butler's head with disdain and wondered where Li Zheng found the butler. He couldn't tell.

After the housekeeper, attendants and others explained Song Jin's appearance individually, a stone hanging in Zheng Bin's heart finally fell to the ground: that alchemist is not Shen Huai.

The appearance can be faked, but the height cannot be faked. The alchemist is half a head shorter than Shen Huai.

But, where did Shen Huai go?

Song Jin and Xia Qingfeng were thinking about the same problem outside Huai'an City.

"Linshen, if this situation happens again in the future, you must never take care of me again," Xia Qingfeng's hands were wrapped in cotton, and there were black spots under her beautiful eyes, "You don't have to rush to kill Li Zheng now. "

"Kill him, kill him. If he reacts and is not poisoned, it will not end well." Song Jin looked back at Huai'an City in the distance, which was so small that it could be covered by a slap, and said calmly: "Let people watch what's going on inside, they We must leave the city to find Shen Huai."

"Yes." Xia Qingfeng stared at Song Jin's profile with worry, "After finding Su Ya this time, you, you won't hesitate anymore, right?"

Song Jin seemed not to hear anything and turned around and left.

Xia Qingfeng looked at Song Jin's back, but this time he didn't rush to catch up.

All the obsessions and reluctances I had had disappeared the moment Song Jin appeared in Li Zheng's house.

He could take risks for her and lay down his life for her, what more could she ask for?

For the rest of her life, she only wants one thing: for Song Jin to live safely, no longer be oppressed, and no longer hunted. For this, she can do whatever she wants, even if Song Jin never accepts her again.

After half a day's journey, the bloody smell of Huai'an City finally spread along the canal and reached Baima Lake.

Linglong Island is still a small piece of pure land in Baima Lake. Shen Huai and Su Ya are preparing to go on a lake tour.

Shen Huai can't swim, and naturally he's not good at rowing, but Su Ya can!

Su Ya saw that Shen Huai was a little tired, so she asked him if he wanted to take a look around. Her eyes were shining with curiosity, and Shen Huai responded with a smile, saying that there was a beautiful woman at the helm, so how could he miss the beautiful scenery.

Liu Sandian was accompanied by Gao Jun and Xu Yuan every day, leaving early and returning late to explore the road, hoping to find the Zangchun Island in his memory as soon as possible. Even if he couldn't match his memory for a while, he could at least find all the waterways and islands in the lake. Remember it clearly.

Mrs. Yan wanted to stay and cook instead of going with them, so the two of them walked to the simple pier and happened to meet Wan Xing returning from selling fish with her grandfather.

Wan Xing saw them from a distance, and a smile appeared on her face. As soon as she landed, she took Su Ya, who had won her heart with delicious food, and mysteriously lowered her voice to talk about the big events she heard in the town.

"There was a great eunuch whose heart was ripped out by a monster last night!"

The little man stared with big eyes. In order to lower his voice so as not to be heard by the monsters, he spoke in an angry voice, "Sister, we must be careful, monsters can eat people."

Su Ya laughed and poked Wan Xing's crooked horns with her finger: "Where did you hear that weird thing? It's not easy for monsters to eat a good-looking and smart kid like you."

"No, monsters are just children who love the smell of meat."

"Who did you listen to?"

"That's what everyone in the town said," Wan Xing shook her little head, "Children taste good, and monsters like to eat them. Bad people's meat smells stinky, so monsters dug out the heart of the eunuch, but they didn't like to eat it because the eunuch

He is a bad person."
