Chapter 128 Chasing the murderer ([-])

Xiao Mingqing blamed herself secretly, and followed Hua Pingle's example of closely watching Su Xianyu's every move.

Although, in her opinion, Su Xianyu didn't move at all!
Finally, Su Xianyu spoke, "Where's the brazier?"

It is summer now, so of course there is no need for a charcoal basin, but most of the study rooms will have a brazier for burning badly written characters and discarded paper.

The maid serving in the study brought the brazier, and the ashes in it had been poured out, but they hadn't been cleaned thoroughly.

Seeing Su Xian staring at the remaining ashes in the brazier, the maid hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Forgive me, my lord, the ashes in the brazier are usually not enough for slaves.

Considering that the brazier is not placed outside, so as not to obstruct His Highness's eyes, it is not necessary to clean it every time it is burned. It is definitely not laziness, sir! "

Xiao Mingqing held back all morning, and couldn't help asking, "What's the use of ash? You don't have enough?"

The maid's face was flushed, she didn't know if she was frightened, and said falteringly, "The princess doesn't know what the servants use."

Su Xianyu got up and approached, her fingers as beautiful as lotus jade slowly slid across the brass brazier bit by bit.

Xiao Mingqing really wanted to ask that stupid thing again, but was intimidated by Su Xianyu's serious and almost solemn appearance for no reason, and stared at his movements, not daring to express himself.

The brazier was not big, and after a while, Su Xianyu curled his fingers as if picking up something, and slowly pulled out a charred black filament from the accumulated dust.

Xiao Mingqing watched his movements, and for some reason remembered the four words "struggling".

When she listens to operas, she often listens to the operas singing about how to solve a case.

She didn't think that the drama-like investigation in the drama was stripping the cocoon. At this moment, seeing Su Xianyu solemnly and carefully pulling out the scorched thread from the ashes, she felt that Su Xianyu was definitely worthy of the four characters of "scraping the cocoon". word!
"Bring a basin of water."

The water basin was quickly brought, and Su Xianyu carefully immersed the scorched silk thread into the water.

After a while, the black ash covering the silk thread dissipated.

Su Xianyu stretched out his hand to take it out, and the almost transparent silk thread in the water basin showed a light red under the sunlight.

Su Xianyu moved his hands slightly, but the silk thread showed a bright red that was almost blood-colored.

Xiao Mingqing snorted, Su Xianyu glanced past the calm Hua Pingle inadvertently, straightened up, "Let's go".

Su Xianyu put the silk thread away carefully, and went to the Department of Punishment to ask the palace servants for questioning.

He sought out all kinds of people, some from the Changchun Palace, some from the East Palace, and some from the Imperial Hospital, and the things he asked were even more unconstrained.

Rao Xiao Mingqing had been following him these days, and she couldn't figure out what he asked had anything to do with finding the murderer.

However, Su Xianyu seemed to have found all the answers, and began to sort out the testimony and evidence that he had found in the past few days.

Xiao Mingqing watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "You already know who the murderer is?"

Su Xianyu raised his eyes to look at Hua Pingle, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened, "Yes, I wasted a lot of time not being familiar with the personnel in the palace.

If it is the palm print of the year, the murderer can be found out in about a day."

Xiao Ming stood up sharply, "Who is it?"

"Later, the emperor will naturally announce to the world."

Xiao Mingqing moved forward excitedly, "Don't you dare to say it? You are afraid that the father will still cover it up for the prince! You are afraid that the news will be leaked!"

Su Xianyu didn't seem to notice Xiao Mingqing's excitement, and he was still so indifferent as usual, "Princess, it is a capital crime to make false assumptions about what you want."

Xiao Mingqing wanted to say more, but Hua Pingle stopped her, "Princess, Su Shangshu is right."

Tears poured out of Xiao Mingqing's red and swollen eyes, "Then, let Brother Zhao die like this? You can't even avenge him!"

Hua Pingle tightened her grip on her hand, "Princess, Su Shangshu is right, don't guess what you want."

Xiao Mingqing's eyes lit up, "Jiujiu, you mean—"

Are you saying that the emperor will not cover up the murderer?
Hua Pingle interrupted her again, "Princess, don't forget to promise me."

Watch carefully and don't say much, so that they can always follow Su Xianyu and watch him handle the case!
Otherwise, even if Su Xianyu didn't dare to drive them away, Zheng Hedi would definitely stop them.

Xiao Mingqing was unwilling to lower her head, Su Xianyu seemed not to have seen this scene, so she sorted out the files and got up.

He is going to return to the government and the emperor.

At this moment, his personal entourage came in a hurry, saw Hua Pingle and the two present, swallowed the words that had reached their lips, and bowed to salute.

"Is it news from Fuzhou? Tell me."

The attendant glanced at Hua Pingle and the two of them, and lowered his voice, "I just got the news that Lian Yanqing was raised in a nunnery since childhood, and then went on a trip, and the only people he met were his own relatives.

Even a close friend like the Xu family, very few people have seen him.

Because Xu Mao was on good terms with Lian Yanqing's brother, he only met twice by chance.

The three clans of the Lian family were exterminated, and only Lian Yanqing's aunts, cousins ​​and others were left who had seen Lian Yanqing, and most of them were scattered all over the place.

Jin Yiwei tracked down 12 people, nine of whom were his cousins, all of whom are no longer alive.

The two who are still alive are Lian Yanqing's cousin, and the other is his cousin and grandmother, both of them were so sad that they couldn't see anything, and they couldn't come to recognize people."

Unlike the Huo family, the Lian family has always had prosperous descendants.

Hua Pingle remembered that there were only fifteen sisters in Yan Qing's generation, and the oldest one was not yet 50 years old, but all the ones who could be traced were dead!

Lian Xiqing, the youngest, was left alone because Xu Mao used her as the three-pound nail on the dead boat, and wanted to use her to climb Huo Yanzhi!

And the aunts and great-aunts can live because the people in power in the family are already the children and grandchildren, right?

Children and grandchildren will never be so rebellious as to attack the mothers and grandmothers of the first relatives.

Even if they dare, they have to think about whether the imperial court will use them again after the filial piety period!

When the three clans were exterminated, did Zheng Hedi not only exterminate the three clans of the Lian family?

Now that I think about it, it is good for the Huo family to have no children and grandchildren. There are no children outside the three clans, so they don't have to go through this kind of danger in the world. They didn't die at the hands of the government and the emperor, but at the hands of their close relatives!

Su Xianyu kept looking at Hua Pingle out of the corner of his eye, saw that she was drinking tea with her head down, and didn't overreact, so she asked, "What about the nunnery?"

"The nunnery was originally built by the Lian family specifically for Lian Yanqing and the cousin girl of the Lian family. After the Lian family was exterminated, the nun's nunnery also suffered disasters. The idlers looted all the property in the nunnery.

A young nun was also robbed and sold. Several elderly nuns couldn't help being shocked and died one after another within a month.

Jin Yiwei searched for a long time before finding out that a little nun who was sold into Fengyue was still alive, and now she is on her way to Beijing."

Hua Ping stared intently at the light brown tea shaking in front of him, under the cover of the nest, even the nunnery attached to Lian's family suffered disaster!

One day, one day, she will kill all those vicious and disgusting scum, leaving no one behind!
Xiao Mingqing asked suspiciously, "Fengyue place? What is Fengyue place? Is it specially for nuns? What do they buy nuns for?"

The attendant gave a dry cry, and Su Xianyu looked up at her, "I want to have a few words with Miss Hua Er, can I trouble the princess to go out for a while?"

He has always been cold and cold, but Xiao Mingqing felt that the look he gave her just now was extraordinarily cold for no reason.

Did she say the wrong thing again?
Xiao Mingqing bit her lip and took a look at Hua Pingle. Hua Pingle lowered her head and slapped the powdered tea, her thick bangs almost covered her entire face.

Jiujiu obviously never wore bangs before, but always combed his hair high, exposing his entire forehead, why did he suddenly grow bangs?

Since when did she stay?
Xiao Mingqing was a little confused, and felt that she didn't know what to think about such a fact at this time.

Su Shangshu kept Jiujiu talking, it must be because Jiujiu has already guessed who the real culprit is!
Jiujiu must also know what Fengyue place means!
Only her, she doesn't understand anything, can't do anything!

Brother Zhao died, and Su Shangshu had already found out who the murderer was, but she couldn't even guess it!

Xiao Mingqing lowered her head, forced herself not to cry, and quickly walked out of the room with her followers.

Inside the room, Su Xianyu was silent for a while, and then said, "Miss Hua Er has guessed who the real culprit is?"

His cold voice was very tense, it sounded very much like asking a teacher for a crime, only he knew that he was nervous.

These words have already been rehearsed and tumbling countless times in his heart, but when he actually said them, he was still nervous and even afraid.

I am afraid that Hua Pingle will not answer, and I am even more afraid that Hua Pingle will answer.

Because of nervousness and fear, he didn't wait for Hua Pingle's answer, got up and put a mechanism box on the square table next to Hua Pingle, "If Miss Hua is fine, help Su to unlock this box, don't talk to the princess. walk around".

Su Xianyu put down the box, walked past her, left the room, turned around and closed the door, and said, "Miss Hua Er is inside, don't disturb her without summons."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to Xiao Mingqing, "If the princess is fine, I will go to see the emperor with my ministers."

"Wine wine—"

"Princess take care of herself, just don't bring Miss Hua Er to cause trouble, don't worry about other things."

Xiao Mingqing bit her lip and glanced at the closed door, obediently following Su Xianyu's footsteps.

……

……

Inside the house, Hua Pingle listened to the movement, and after making sure that everyone had left, he gulped down the blood rolling in his throat and poured down a whole cup of tea.

Gray is dead, Xiao Ming is gone, Wang Miaoer is in danger, soon, soon!

For the Huo family's hatred, the Lian family's hatred, and those who were implicated innocently, she will definitely kill the enemies and pay homage to their spirits in heaven!

Hua Pingle forced back the tears in his eyes, and looked down at the mechanism box in his hand.

Su Xianyu would never give her a box to play with for no reason, now is not the time for her to let herself be sad, at this moment, all she has to do is to open this box as soon as possible...

……

……

In the imperial study room, regardless of Xiao Mingqing's crying, Zheng Hedi shouted her away, supported his head exhaustedly, "Let's talk".

Su Xianyu said unhurriedly, "I hired the most experienced assistant, and found out that the second prince and the eunuch named Xiao Linzi had shallow marks on the sleeping point, but the eunuch named Xiaolanzi did not.

Based on their posthumous appearances, it can be concluded that Xiaolanzi touched the sleeping points of the Second Prince and Xiao Linzi first, pushed Xiao Linzi into the Taiye Pool, and then threw the Second Prince into the lake."

Su Xianyu's voice was cold and sweet, like the ding-dong sound left by the winter wind blowing through the Taiye Pond, Zheng Hedi heard it in his ears, and almost felt the icy cold of Xiao Mingzhao when he sank to the bottom of the pool.

He felt his head ache again, quickly gathered his mind, and pressed his throbbing temple.

"I have already asked the imperial concubine, Xiaolanzi and Xiaolinzi were selected by His Majesty personally, and he asked a martial arts master to teach him martial arts. He has served the second prince since he was a child, and has never made a mistake.

Xiao Lanzi has always been calm and reticent, and apart from being close to Xiao Linzi, he seldom interacts with others, I searched for a long time and found this."

Su Xianyu said as he took out an extremely thin silk thread, "I found this in the brazier in the Second Prince's study.

I asked the maid serving in the study room that the brazier was only used to burn waste paper, and there was no way that there would be silk threads.

Chen guessed that the little basket was afraid that the things made of silk thread would attract people's eyes, so he deliberately found an opportunity to burn them before he struck.

Unexpectedly, this silk thread is extremely strong, although he was careful, he still left this small piece, and this silk thread—"

Su Xianyu's voice was erratic, "It's A Yu's birthday, A Jie searched through ancient books to please her, and found an ancient method of spinning thread.

The spun thread will show different shades of red in the sun without dyeing. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers it? "

Emperor Zhenghe's eyes flickered slightly, and he certainly remembered that although many of the Huo family's children were weak and sick, they were all stunningly talented.

On the day of Huo Ying's birthday, the wide-sleeved fairy dress with changing colors under the sun made Huo Ying, who was already beautiful, look like a flower fairy.

Not to mention Su Xianyu and Xiao Mingshi's juniors, even he was also fascinated by it.

Everyone who met at that time praised Huo Yinghui as the second Empress Dowager Huo, and the Empress Dowager Huo back then was also extremely beautiful, just like Huo Ying, like Huo Jie, like everyone in the Huo family...

"The silk thread is expensive and hard to find, and it's very troublesome to make, so I only got one thread in total, and there are still some leftovers after making the skirt for A Yu.

Ah Yu made three purses, one for Ah Jie, one for King Fuguang, and one for the Crown Princess."

Not long after that, Huo Ying and Huo Jie died, and the Huo family was wiped out.

When the house was ransacked, all the belongings of the Huo family were taken to the treasury, and all the belongings of the masters were burned, including the wide-sleeved fairy dress, the ancient prescription, and Huo Jie's purse, of course.

Now, there are only two people in the world who can have such a thread——

Emperor Zhenghe's eyes were heavy, "Princess Princess, King Fuguang".

However, Huo Yanzhi arrived faster than Wang Miaoer. Hearing Su Xianyu's question about the purse, he loosened his collar, untied the purse from his neck and handed it to Su Xianyu.

Su Xianyu held the purse that was still warm, and said indifferently, "My lord cherishes this purse very much."

Huo Yanzhi replied calmly, "This is the last purse that Ah Yu made for me."

He naturally cherishes it.

Su Xianyu presented the purse to Emperor Zhenghe. After 16 years, the purse looked like new, not to mention damaged, not even a bit of wire drawing.

Emperor Zhenghe looked at it for a while, then handed the purse to Su Xianyu, and Su Xianyu handed it back to Huo Yanzhi.

Huo Yanzhi put the purse on as it was, and looked at Emperor Zhenghe with a frown, "Have the emperor's family affairs been settled? Can I take the wine out of the palace?"

Zheng Hedi immediately understood how he arrived faster than Wang Miaoer, it turned out that he came to the palace to pick up Hua Pingle.

"Wine and wine are also worrying about the whole city. If she wants to leave the palace, she can naturally do so at any time."

Huo Yanzhi stopped talking and bowed to leave.

Not long after, Wang Miaoer also came, and when Su Xianyu asked about the purse, she sneered, "Why would I keep the things of the rebels?"
