Chapter 60 Night Break into the Fourth Prince's Mansion (2)

Li Cheng said in a low voice: "After finding it out, why did they come to me instead of giving it to the Liang family?"

"They asked us not to release the person who detoxified to detoxify, saying that if this is not done, the letter will be made public."

"It's for the public, not for the Liang family?" Li Cheng finally raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's interesting."

"Indeed. It's a little unreasonable for them to find the letter and not hand it over to the Liang family, but come here to act wildly. What's more, with the elm heads of Zhou Yong and his wife, it is impossible to know from the letter that the poison was cast by us, and I never mentioned it in the letter. It's more than half a sentence. I'm afraid they are, and some experts will guide them." Zhang Ke was able to serve as an aide in the Fourth Prince's Mansion for many years because of his sharp thinking and ability to see the details.

"Lord Xiong went to the Duke's Mansion to investigate today, and the matter is quite beneficial to us. Even if Zhou Yong handed over the letter to the Liang family, and the Liang family made the letter public, others would only think that the Liang family and the fifth emissary were trying to slander me. If this letter is published by Zhou Yong himself, it will indeed be a little troublesome."

"The person who advised Zhou Yong was very tricky. He only forced us not to release the detoxifier. On the surface, he was helping the Zhou family. He was afraid that we would blame Zhou Dakun for all the crimes. In fact, he might have other plans. .”

Li Cheng stood up and rubbed his shoulders, "The Liang family's fire was ingeniously timed today, and the Liang family may still suspect that we and Mr. Xiong conspired to set the fire at that time. In fact, it was just It's just a coincidence. Today I, Li Cheng, will be blamed."

Zhang Ke also laughed, "Too many coincidences is a conspiracy. I heard that the little concubine of the Yun family was invited by Mrs. Huo to detoxify Zhou Liang, but Mrs. Huo not only asked the little concubine of the Yun family to write the detoxification formula , and asked someone to give her medicine for her grandson Liang Qilang Huo Huo.

Coincidentally, Mr. Xiong came to visit, all the members of the Liang family came out, and Liang Qilang did not Huo Huocheng.Then the mansion caught fire.Then Mrs Zhou Liang went home, and visited the door at night. "

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Sir, I'm paying special attention to this matter."

"I just thought that the little concubine of the Yun family dared to sell Liang Qilang for money, she was a very interesting person, so I paid more attention."

"As soon as the master said it, I also felt the same. Then tell me, did the little concubine of the Yun family write down the antidote?"

Zhang Kedao: "It is said that it was not written. Mrs. Huo thinks that the stolen goods have been found, and the people from the Beizhi Chamber of Commerce have achieved their goal. Their people should immediately detoxify everyone. Maybe she thinks it is unnecessary when there are many high-ranking officials in Liang. When I was in the mansion, I would go to do that shameless thing with a face. I let the little girl go. But..."

Li Cheng asked, "But what?"

Zhang Ke replied: "But Liang Ziyuan didn't intend to let her go. The stolen goods were found in Liang's house, and he knew it would be troublesome. He thought that the Beizhi Chamber of Commerce might meet with the little girl because of the detoxification, but he led someone to follow him. The little girl did go to the Moon Tower after receiving a letter, but Liang Ziyuan was in vain."

Li Cheng said with emotion, "This Liang Ziyuan is really doing anything for profit. In order to find a scapegoat for the stolen goods, he actually set his mind on the so-called little concubine of the Yun family who he said was in love with each other. If he was really caught at that time At the scene where the concubine of the Yun family met with the Beizhi Chamber of Commerce or people from the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is estimated that he will fabricate all kinds of facts and put the blame on the Beizhi Chamber of Commerce and the little girl. Who said that the little girl can just detoxify?"

Zhang Ke nodded, "That's right. By doing this, he can at least minimize the negative impact on the Liang family. He is indeed a ruthless person."

Li Cheng guessed, "So speaking of which, the little girl let Liang Ziyuan fail repeatedly in front of her, which means that she is a very smart person. Is it possible that she is the one who instructed Zhou Liang to come to the door tonight?"

"If it is her, what benefits can she get?"

"The benefits are conceivable."

After finishing speaking, the two smiled tacitly.

Li Cheng finally said: "Forget it. The antidote should let him disappear. The little concubine of the Yun family's reminder is correct. Letting him out may become a gap for Li Congyu and the Liang family to attack me. Let this case become a case that has no As for the unsolved case at the end, it is enough to settle the responsibility of the Liang family. It can be regarded as our reward for accepting the favor of the little girl."

"Yes. Tonight, the detoxifier will lay his body outside the gate of the Liang Mansion."

The Dechanghou's mansion was still brightly lit at this moment.

Marquis Song Mengxian of Dechang and his wife Jiang Shi were both sitting in the lobby, accompanied by the lights and accompanied by their eldest son Song Zhu, they were waiting for Song Yanning to come back.

On the ground on one side of the lobby, there are twenty or thirty boxes of nanmu boxes, large and small, all in an open state, and various objects are placed inside the boxes:

There are gold silk belts, pure white brocade robes, purses, jade shoes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, white jade, pearls, rare orchid grass, precious leather, swords and so on.

From clothing to appreciation, from literature to martial arts, it is almost all-encompassing, dazzling the viewers.

Facing the objects in this place, Jiang's face was full of anger, while Marquis Dechang and Song Zhu were full of sadness.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the housekeeper came to report that the second young master had returned.

Jiang's expression was unkind and he said, "Tell him to come in!"

When the butler went out to invite him, he saw Song Yanning entered the room with great reluctance.

"My lord, my lord, I don't know why you didn't go to rest at such a late hour, why are you waiting for the child here?"

Today, he followed Mr. Xiong and the others to handle the case all day, and he has not changed his official robes yet.Although he appeared exhausted, he still couldn't hide his clear and gentle face.

Song Zhu winked at him again and again, and Marquis Dechang also said: "A'Ning, Mr. He sent a letter today, saying that your performance in Muma State is not bad, and it is decided that after the case in the capital is concluded, you will be promoted to..."

"Master Hou, you are stuck here in the middle of the night to let you discuss business with him?"

Mrs. Hou's Mrs. Jiang cut off Dechanghou's words mercilessly, "Don't you think that Lord Hou is not worried when he sees the boxes in this room?"

Marquis Dechang coughed in embarrassment, "Ma'am, I was also very pleased to see that Aning was busy with business until midnight, and as soon as I couldn't hold back, I told him the good news that he was about to be promoted..."

"Gaosheng? Master He said he was promoted, so he got promoted? Let's see why he can't do it. It's the right way to flirt with a girl. I'm afraid Master He wants to keep him as his son-in-law." Mrs. Hou sneered.

Marquis Dechang was surprised and said: "No way. It's not that He Qiu has no sons, there's no reason to find a son-in-law..."

"Shut up! Is this the time to discuss whether other people have a son? The problem is that this kid has only been back to Beijing for a few days, so He Shishi is going to send boxes and letters to the Hou's mansion every day. There is also a special person in the mansion to pick him up." That's all, but those long-talking wives spread rumors that the second son of the Song Dynasty deliberately won the girl's heart in Muma Prefecture, and then abandoned him, and now the girl doesn't agree to send people to the door every day to propose marriage..."
