Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 313 The Shadow of Overlapping Cases

Speaking of this, Cao De settled down for a while, looked at the two people who were lying or sitting behind their heads through the curtain, and said hesitantly: "The lower official originally wanted him to recognize people, but after the liquidation, the officials from all over the country returned and stayed behind. Not many people came down."

He can't take the driver with him and go around the southern border to identify them.

It's not practical.

Su Rao glanced at Yan Yun, Yan Yun was leaning against the bedside with a scroll in his hand to flip through it, noticing her gaze, raised his eyes lightly, and said in a warm voice, "It's up to you to decide."

"I think so too."

Su Rao pursed her lips and smiled, turned her head to Cao De'an and said, "Master Cao, please hand him over to Yin Xuewei later, and don't worry about the rest."

Cao De'an was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized, he cupped his hands and said, "The next official takes orders."

After finishing what he needed to say, he knew that Yan Yun was still cultivating, so he couldn't disturb him any more, so he found an excuse to leave.

Marquis Yinxuewei was outside the house, he had heard Su Rao's words earlier, so he didn't need to say anything about Cao De'an, he just followed him to pick someone up.

The room was completely quiet, and Zhu Yan walked in with a smile.

Peeling a tangerine very doggy, and handing it to Su Rao, "Girl, is it time for your subordinate to speak?"

Su Rao's eyes were almost blurred by his flattering smile, "What are you thinking, if you don't make it clear, I won't eat these oranges."

"Look at what you said, how can a subordinate have evil intentions."

With a guilty conscience, Zhu Yan gave Yan Yun a look, "It took so long to find out some clues, and I feel ashamed and shameless."

"is it?"

Su Rao looked at him suspiciously, and the latter smiled brighter, "Of course."

Su Rao, who didn't see anything, looked away, took the orange and held it in her hand, thought for a while, then turned around and handed it to Shi Ziye.

"This tangerine is full and juicy, sweet and refreshing, try it?"

Yan Yun looked away from the scroll again, glanced at her hand, then at Zhuyan, "Just say anything."

He took the tangerine and slowly peeled off the white silk on it.

Zhu Yan hurriedly handed over a small plate and put it on the bed beside the bed, and smiled at the two of them, "It's still the girl who has a unique eye, and the person behind the assassin has been found."

"Qi Xiang?"

Su Rao raised her eyebrows and asked, Zhu Yan folded her hands together and bowed: "It's Qi Xiang. According to investigations, he took someone to Liji Pastry Shop not long ago and bought a lot of refreshments and fruits, but he doesn't like these sweets. Feeling strange, I started around those assassins and found that they also went to the pastry shop before the assassination."

"The shopkeeper denied it at first, but later he couldn't stand the punishment, so he recruited him, saying that he only followed orders and didn't know who gave them orders."

"The Shadow Assassins have gone through several rounds of interrogation, so this statement should be true."

The fake Mu Tianfeng was also very vague about the identity of the operator, saying that they had a one-way connection. It seems that the master behind these things is really cautious.

But Qixiang, a majestic state shepherd, actually colluded with foreigners, which is really unimaginable.

Su Rao thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, "How do you know that Qi Xiang doesn't like sweets?"

Zhu Yan smiled triumphantly: "Didn't they be detained for work in the prostitution hall a few days ago? The back kitchen prepared a lot of refreshments and fruits, and the rest of the people would make cushions at night, but how did Qi Xiang get in and how to get the things at hand?" come out."

"You still have the mind to pay attention to these things?"

"It's not me. Someone told the kitchen specifically to flatter him, asking the cook to prepare other suppers for Qi Xiang. During the meal, the cook complained, saying that our envoys and girls are not like you. It’s difficult to serve, and I have to cook a small stove alone.”

"People from the Falcon Department later told me about this incident as a joke. I didn't take it seriously at the time, and I didn't feel something was wrong until I found out about the pastry shop."

Fortunately, these trifles were heard by the people of the Falcon Department. If it were the shadow thorns and the boring gourds, the news would have been completely buried, and it would take a few more detours to find out.

Su Rao has seen Zhu Yan's popularity before, he has never put on airs in front of his subordinates, and even the shadow thorns would occasionally joke with him.

At this moment, she and Zhu Yan thought of something.

Can't help but smile.

"Young master, you chose him to be in charge of the Falcon Department, did you value his temperament?"

Su Rao asked Yan Yun, and Zhu Yan also looked at his young master at the same time.

Yan Yun happened to peel off the last trace of white thread on the tangerine, and handed it to Su Rao again: "Take it and eat it."

"Ok?"

Su Rao looked at the tangerine, a little dumbfounded, why did it go back and forth and returned to her hand?
"Don't you dislike these tangerines? I peeled them off."

As Yan Yun said, he handed the oranges forward again, and signaled her to take them with his eyes, Su Rao was slightly startled, looking at the freshly peeled oranges in the small plate at his hand, so that's why he took them for this?
She took it by accident, looking at the golden tangerine, her heart suddenly softened, who said that the son of the world is a dull and boring ice lump?
He doesn't like to talk too much.

That's because he put everything into action.

Su Rao folded her palms together to hold the tangerine, and slowly burst into a smile. Yan Yun took the handkerchief to wipe her hands, and said slowly, "Let him be in charge of the Falcon Department..."

Zhu Yan's eyes were shining brightly, looking at him eagerly, waiting for his next words.

Yan Yun squinted at him, and said to Su Rao seriously: "That's because he's really noisy, and the Falcon Department is in charge of intelligence and is busier than other departments..."

The implication is that he wants to keep his ears clean.

The smile on Zhu Yan's face suddenly split.

Su Rao clenched her fist against the tip of her nose, rubbed it lightly, tried her best to press down the corners of her slightly raised lips, and seeing Zhu Yan's collapsed appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yan Yun's eyes were soft.

A smile flashed across his eyes.

Zhu Yan covered her heart and pouted her mouth, she was about to cry: "My lord, you have changed, you didn't say that before..."

"Don't be talkative, speak well."

Yan Yun glanced at him warningly.

The latter immediately stood upright and bowed to the two of them, "Dare to ask the two ancestors, what should we do now? Arrest Qi Xiang directly?"

Colluding with foreign countries and assassinating imperial envoys, this alone is enough for him to never recover.

Yan Yun said: "Didn't Mr. Cao find a witness? When Yinxuewei brings someone back, take him to Qi Xiang and let him identify him."

Yan Yun paid a lot of attention to the progress of this case, so he naturally knew the connection between these people and things. Foreigners entered the city and were involved in the Cheng family case. After a round of screening, there were very few such people left.

And Qi Xiang took the risk of instigating a hidden stake to assassinate the imperial envoy.

The timing was right after they used that letter to investigate the Ninglan Gorge Dam breach case and visit old people.

When all the coincidences come together, it cannot be regarded as a coincidence.

Su Rao echoed: "That's right, if nothing unexpected happens, here in Qi Xiang, the two cases can overlap."

Those disappearing mineral deposits are the hidden piles of Xianyi lurking in Yunzhou.

There is also the Ninglan Gorge's embankment breach, the blood of the Cheng family, the hunger and cold of the people, and the alternation of cause and effect. Perhaps the answer can be found in him!
