Conspiracy

Chapter 116

Song Kun recalled the nonsense he said casually when he met Su Zhen and the others, wishing to smash his crow's mouth to pieces, he really is a good but not a bad spirit!
This time their hands probably won't be able to keep it.
"Most of the people who can enter Jiyuefang are either rich or expensive. I finally slipped in. It would be a pity to leave like this!"

Yueniang glanced at him and asked doubtfully, "So it's you?! Zhu Gusheng, haven't you already gone bankrupt? You even sneaked into Jiyuefang. It seems that you even want to take the only life left. "

Su Zhen had heard about this person before, Zhu Gusheng, the king of gambling, was once rich beyond compare, once he ascended to the top, countless people went forward to please him.But a year ago, he lost his family wealth for no reason, became a beggar, and even separated from his wife and children, sleeping on the street.

The huge contrast made Zhu Gusheng successfully become Zhu Gusheng, not only lonely, but also in hardship.

Sin.
"You go down first." Yueniang ordered in a calm voice.

"Yes!"

The guards clasped their fists and left, and after they entered, they closed the door behind them.

"Yue Niang, my cousin is really miserable now, just let him go, I guarantee that he will never go to Jiyuefang to do such a thing again." Song Kun knelt on the ground and swore to heaven.

Yueniang sat on the top seat, playing with her fingernails, "He has broken my rules in Jiyuefang now, if others follow suit, don't they think we are easy to bully?"

Song Kun waved his hands anxiously, and apologized with a sad face, "No, no! As long as we don't tell, no one will know about it! You are kind and kind, so there is no need to argue with us villains!"

Su Zhen and Yu Ziye played tricks, and the latter instantly understood what she meant, and said to Yueniang with a smile, "Yueniang, don't underestimate beggars, they are of great use."

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

"The imperial army can attack cities and plunder ponds and guard borders. But the strongest ones should be the beggars who survive at the bottom of the civilian population."

"You want them to control the gossip and restore your lost reputation?" Yueniang asked back in cooperation with them.

Yu Ziye sang "Bad Face", Su Zhen naturally sang "Red Face".

She lightly stroked the dagger that Song Kun had seized before, and the sharp cold light made Zhu Gusheng shrank his neck in fright, "More than that, if we can gather all the beggars together, guide the rumors to point all the spears at the captain's mansion, and force It's best for them to show their feet."

Old Zhutou is very shrewd, how could he be tricked by two brats in his eyes.

"You guys think too highly of me, how can I have such a great ability."

"I don't know why you disperse your wealth, but I know the mentality of a gambler, especially if you are the king of gamblers. Whether it is prestige or money, it is absolutely impossible to lose everything."

Zhu Gusheng said with a mean smile, "Once upon a time, all I got was ignorant money, and I only got my life back after retribution. Now I live by begging, and I am indeed penniless."

"Your past has nothing to do with us, but if you agree to do things for the son, not only will your hands be kept, but the benefits in the future will naturally be indispensable."

Zhu Gusheng didn't believe what she said, even the imperial court couldn't do anything about Jiyuefang, how can a mere son of the Marquis Mansion really convince Yueniang?

"Don't you like to gamble? Apart from this life, what else is there to lose? Whether you have hidden your property or not, we will not ask, nor will we force you to hand it over."

"Aren't you afraid that the old man will turn against you?"

Su Zhen frowned, and suddenly stepped in front of Zhu Gusheng, and forcibly opened his hand. Sure enough, a cloud of black air emerged, transformed into a skeleton, and wandered wantonly along his palm lines.

"You should have had an accident in your family for a year. If I'm not mistaken, you were surrounded by bad luck at that time. At this time, someone told you that it was because of your usual actions that caused the disaster. There was no other way but to eliminate the disaster. So you started Putting grain in the warehouse, helping the victims, until the family wealth is exhausted, and then regaining a new life, am I right?"

Zhu Gusheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! How do you know?!"

"I might as well tell you, in fact, your disaster is man-made, someone cast a spell on you."

"What? Are you serious?"

"Of course, but that person may have good intentions and wants you to take the initiative to help the poor and so on!"

When Su Zhen was flicking around, a light suddenly flashed in her mind.

Yu Ziye paused and asked, "A-Ning? What's wrong?"

"Aside from Xu Lin, did another woman die last night?"

"Yes! She was made into a beauty bowl." Thinking of her tragic death, Yu Ziye still had lingering fears.

"Have you found out her identity?"

"It's a widow. She lives in Wanjing Village outside the city. Her husband's family has lived by hunting for generations."

"Which faction does Captain Xu belong to in the court?"

"It's hard to say, he seems to be neutral, but he is more inclined to King Qin's lineage."

Qin Wang?That is Shang Yici, the son of Yu Guifei.

As far as she knew, Zuo Xiang Ji Mengping seemed to strongly support him, and he should belong to the kind who would stand by the side and never look back.

At this moment, Su Zhen finally understood why Su Tingye and Marquis Lin An didn't want them to intervene in this matter.

It seems that they really underestimated that Xu Lin, and the power behind it really cannot be underestimated.

Yu Ziye also understood this point, "A-Ning, do you suspect that Old Zhutou is related to Xu Lin's case?"

Song Kun hurriedly argued, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, my cousin was with me last night, so he is not a murderer!"

"I think that woman's death may really have something to do with Xu Lin. What happened to Zhutou just now reminds me that Xu Lin's murderer should be the same as Tang Yinchen, who is naturally jealous. The difference is that he wants to Break the rules and judge those whom the law cannot judge."

"That's you!" Yu Ziye blurted out pointing at her.

"Don't make trouble." Su Zhen slapped his hands away, "Tang Yinchen can't carry the blame, and neither can he."

"Do you know the clue of the murderer?"

Su Zhen lowered her head and smiled, trying to hide the uneasiness in her heart, "How can you be so godly, God knows where the murderer is hiding. Now I am more concerned about the assassins last night, and I don't know what they are looking for?"

"Could it be Tang Yinchen's fan?"

"How to say?"

"That folding fan is called Zhanshuang, and it is their family heirloom."

"It's hard to say." Su Zhen's eyes were deep, and after a while, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhu Gusheng, "Well, old Zhu, let's make a deal. I will help you dissolve the spell, but you don't have to help us get rid of the stigma, It’s better to make the rumor bigger, so that everyone knows about it.”

Without waiting for Lao Zhutou to reply, Yu Ziye objected without hesitation. "You want to use yourself as bait again? Absolutely not!"

"If the murderer never shows up, Tang Yinchen will be the dead ghost. What's more, this matter has a profound impact on Jiyuefang. If we don't find out, more people will be implicated."

"Have you ever wondered why Tang Yinchen's jade buckle just happened to appear there? And every one of your guesses matches him."

Su Zhen's eyes were firm, "He won't kill people."

"You haven't spent as long with him as I have, and your emotions will blind your eyes."

"I know, but I believe that the young man with pure eyes like you will never ignore the law and treat human life like nothing. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and Xu Lin?"

Yu Ziye sighed, "Forget it, it's up to you. When I met you back then, I took a crooked path, just right, and I don't bother to look back."

Su Zhen hooked his shoulders, and said with an extremely ugly smile, "Then how do you know that your original path is the right path? Maybe it's the right path to meet me?"

I really can't help boasting, as always brazen!
Yueniang looked at them teasing each other, her eyes softened.
