Chapter 259 Set up an ambush
Liao Zhizhong looked around in a panic, got up and pulled his clothes, "Wait for me, I'll make arrangements immediately."

Liao Zhizhong was very reliable, and before he left, he even called the yamen servant to protect Chen Yuan.

Scaring herself was really going to scare people to death, Chen Yuan originally wanted to ask the yamen servant to come in and talk to her.

But if you really do this, the other party will send killers, and these small yamen servants in the county government will not be able to beat Jin Yiwei or the killers.

Chen Yuan felt a little regretful that she didn't bring her elder brother with her.

The yamen servant was guarding the door, and Chen Yuan didn't feel safe, she was afraid that the killer would come in somehow.

Fortunately, Liao Zhizhong acted quickly, and came back just as Chen Yuan was about to drill under the bed.

Then, the two sat in rows and shivered together.

Chen Yuan also seized the time to ask some about the Commander of Jinyiwei, Concubine Xu, and Concubine Ning. Lingnan is far away from the capital, and Liao Zhizhong doesn't know much about it.

"Lieutenant Lu is here."

As soon as the yamen servant passed the message, Chen Yuan and Liao Zhizhong revived their spirits and walked out the door with smiles on their faces.

Lu Huaizhao saw this kind of flattering smile a lot in the capital.

You can tell at a glance that the other party has something to ask for, so when you turn around, you want to run away.

"Fellow Daoist, no, Mr. Lu, please stay!" Chen Yuan pulled Liao Zhizhong forward and stopped Lu Huaizhao.

"What's the matter?" Lu Huaizhao seemed to have nostrils on his forehead, and he didn't want to talk to the two of them at all.

Adhering to the idea of ​​reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Chen Yuan smiled like a flower, "Master Lu, I can prove that the lack of supervision has nothing to do with you, and you have no responsibility at all."

Lu Huaizhao raised his head confidently, "That's up to you to say, it has nothing to do with me."

Arrogant second-generation official, please listen to my story, Chen Yuan threatened, "But, after you return to Beijing, you have to prove it! Can you prove your innocence? Do you have the eloquence of Eunuch Wei? Is the imperial concubine adding to the trouble? It’s just that it’s inconvenient to do things, the most important thing is, you’re still being held in the trash, your father will be disappointed in you!”

Lu Huaizhao was already rebellious, he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Are you threatening me?"

Liao Zhizhong was sweating coldly.

This kind of ruthless people are all strong in the outside world, and Chen Yuan thinks that finding the pain points of the other party can still be successful, "No, I am looking for cooperation and a win-win situation, whether you are me or him."

As a concubine, Lu Huaizhao wanted to make a difference, "Then tell me, what did you find?"

"Are we going to plot loudly in public?"

In the end, the three found a wider training ground where no one could hide and conspired quietly.

"This head was probably replaced by Concubine Ning's people."

"how do I say this?"

"Because, it is impossible for outsiders to know about Xiao Yingqiu's headbutting against a pillar two days before his death. Only the Xiao family would know about it. After the coffin was opened, with your guards stationed and patrolling, the Xiao family couldn't even get close to the ancestral hall. , let alone go in and exchange the skulls and blacken Xiao Yingqiu's bones. Even if Concubine Ning's opponent wants to stir up trouble, it is impossible to know the old secrets of the Xiao family."

One of the opponents, Lu Huaizhao, felt that he was connoted, and gave Chen Yuan a stare.

"It's just a guess after all. Although your guess makes sense, you can't prove it."

Chen Yuan insisted, "Yes."

"how to prove?"

Not to mention that Lu Huaizhao didn't believe it, even Liao Zhizhong didn't believe it.

"The other party reversed the skull because of a guilty conscience. As for the reason for the guilty conscience, I dare not say yet. Since the other party has a guilty conscience, they will eradicate those who may spy on the truth."

Before Chen Yuan finished speaking, Liao Zhizhong understood, "You want to use yourself as a bait to lure fish?"

Chen Yuan rubbed her nose and said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not only mine, but also you. I was brought by you. They will definitely think that you know what I know."

"..."

Promotion always comes with risks, but Liao Zhizhong didn't expect the risks to be so big this time, which made him a little bit overwhelmed.

Lu Huaizhao also reacted, "When you sent people to find me with great fanfare, did you think of this plan?"

"I can't help it. If I don't look for you, they will suspect that I know something, and they will kill me sooner or later. Instead of worrying about it all day long, why don't I set up a trap and wait for them to come?" Chen Yuan still wants to sleep well.

Lu Huaizhao, "How do you know they won't kill me?"

After Chen Yuan was shocked, she exaggeratedly said, "I thought you were very good at kung fu. Your father is the commander of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei who came with you didn't have a brother who was as good as you and wore a pair of trousers? You wouldn't come with you. Jin Yiwei, you don’t even know who can trust and who can’t?”

Excited like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Lu Huaizhao stared angrily, "How could I not know, even though I'm just a captain, it doesn't mean I'm incapable, it's just that my father wants me to practice more outside to lay a good foundation, and Our Lu family already has enough eyeballs, there is no need..., do you understand?"

The provocative method has been tried a hundred times, but do you know that the explanation is just a cover-up, young man.

Chen Yuan didn't reveal her background, "Understood."

Lu Huaizhao grasped the handle of the Xiuchun Knife, quite eager to try it, "For the sake of your understanding of me, let's try according to your plan."

"My contact with you will definitely attract the attention of Concubine Ning's people. At this time, you take me to the archives. I want to check the files from that year, especially the two most important letters. I have to take a good look." In this way, the other party will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

In fact, it would be better to guess wrong, because if it was Concubine Ning's opponent who did the trick, there would be no reason to kill her.

On the contrary, if Concubine Ning was the one doing the tricks, there would be a reason to kill her.

"We Jinyiwei have read those two letters. There is absolutely no problem with the handwriting. It cannot be a copy."

Hmm... Lu Huaizhao knew everything, but this made Chen Yuan more convinced of his guess.

"It doesn't matter, I still have to go to the document library. There are definitely not many things that can be found, mainly to stimulate people." Those two letters appeared in the past, and it would appear guilty to destroy them deliberately, but other clues, rather Concubine will definitely find a way to erase it.

Regarding the trip to the document library, Chen Yuan's purpose was clear from the very beginning.

After the three discussed it, they immediately acted.

And acted very urgently.

Chen Yuan spent the evening in the file library.

The food was eaten only after Jin Yiwei caught mice to test the poison.

Lu Huaizhao despised her excessive caution.

But Liao Zhizhong was very useful, and no one was poisoned to death for no reason without wanting to eat.

At night, Chen Yuan slept in the guest room in the West Wing of the yamen, at the door, Lu Huaizhao left two guards in brocade clothes to guard the door.

With this kind of treatment, anyone with eyes could tell that she was being protected by Lu Huaizhao.

Those with a guilty conscience would guess that she must have discovered something.

How dare Chen Yuan really fall asleep.

Lying in the bed tent, holding a dagger in his hand, he opened his eyes and listened to the movement.

When Shen Shi arrived, there were two bangs at the door.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp knife came in through the crack of the door, and it was stuck on the door bolt and turned a little bit...

A man in black tiptoed into the room silently, turned around and closed the door swiftly.
