The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 369 behind the scenes black hand appeared
Hearing this, Kong Yijing kowtowed gratefully, then stood up and knelt down to the old lady.

"Mother, please stop being stubborn. The third prince has rebellious intentions. I didn't expect that you were poisoned so deeply. He has now committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Why do you still think of defending him? His Royal Highness is the prince personally chosen by the emperor. He is capable. It is obvious to all that the third prince is just a idiot who just wants to be in power."

The old lady didn't speak, her eyes were slightly closed, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Upon seeing this, Kong Yijing kowtowed and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Mother! My son is begging you."

The old lady still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi said softly: "Master Kong, please stand up. Now that the matter is up to now, we should first investigate the case."

Kong Yijing stood up and responded respectfully: "I obey your orders."

The middle and upper hall of the old lady's courtyard was used as the trial hall, the prince presided over the trial, Shen Changyan and Bai Zhi were on the jury.

Li Gousheng was interrogated first.

He stepped up and entertained everything.

It turns out that this Li Gou Sheng is indeed not the Li Gou Sheng who came down the mountain before, but the old lady's person. He also explained that the Li Gou Sheng who came down the mountain before did not complete the task due to unfavorable affairs at Qingcheng Taoist Temple, so he was taken away by the young man in white. up.

Bai Zhi raised her lips and sneered: "Li Gou Sheng, who came down from the mountain earlier, was replaced later. The middle-aged man in his true form has been killed by the man in white. This role has been changed three times, which can be said to be a lot of painstaking effort. Who is the man in white?"

Li Gou Sheng shook his head: "I am from the old lady. I really don't know who the young man in white is."

Bai Zhiwang asked the old lady aloud: "Tell me, there is no need to hide the matter anymore. Is he Linglong?"

Hearing this, the old lady asked softly, "Do you know Linglong?"

Bai Zhi nodded and responded: "My defeated general would have been executed long ago if he hadn't told the story about the Third Prince and Taoist Ni Tian."

The old lady's face suddenly turned ugly and she spat: "Boneless thing."

"Old madam, please tell me. Maybe you can be merciful outside the law. The prince is here too. Speaking of which, he should call you Grandma Gu."

Bai Zhi looked at the old lady and tried to persuade her.

The old lady closed her eyes again and refused to answer.

Bai Zhi had no choice but to have Tao Zi brought over and give her the truth-telling trick.

Then came the middle-aged woman and other people who knew about it.

Everyone was entertained, and even though the old lady didn't say anything, Bai Zhi also figured out the context of the recent events at Qingcheng Taoist Temple.

It turns out that Taozi and the middle-aged woman did not know that the old lady and the young man in white had a secret relationship.

They only knew that the young man in white was an old friend of the Confucius family who came to the capital to seek refuge.

Taozi falls in love with the young master in white and wants to marry him as his wife.

Therefore, the young man in white took advantage of her and asked her to steal the demon-killing sword and the golden body of Qingchengzi hidden in the quiet room of Qingcheng Taoist Temple.

Taozi naturally complied, and in order to ensure success, she even asked her mother to help. This led to a scene where mother and daughter went up the mountain for the first time and had to enter a quiet room.

Before going up the mountain, the young man in white handed her two packs of gunpowder, and told her to put them in the lantern at the door if she couldn't enter the quiet room.

The mother and daughter failed and went down the mountain. In order to win the favor of the young master in white, they persuaded the old lady to go to Qingcheng Taoist Temple to offer incense together.

The identity of the old lady is so well hidden that no one knows her details except the old housekeeper and her personal servant.

Therefore, Taozi's mother and daughter didn't know that the old lady knew about the transaction between them and the young man in white.

The young man in white only told the old lady his purpose of coming here, that is to get the golden body of Qingchengzi and his demon-eliminating sword.

He also recounted the failure of his arrangements along the way, and how although the few people who had infiltrated Bai Zhi and the others were trusted, it was difficult to rely on them due to lack of ability. At most, they could only use them.

Li Gou and Zuishan also suggested a substitution.

The old lady replaced her with the confidant she had cultivated for many years, now Li Gou Sheng.

It's just that Li Gousheng followed down the mountain today, originally thinking of playing by ear, but unexpectedly, he was completely conquered by Bai Zhi, Shen Changyan, and even the sudden arrival of the prince.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "You don't know yet, in fact, the middle-aged man who went up the mountain earlier had betrayed us with two people, the tall and the short, on the night of the surprise attack on us. And when he went to meet the young man in white, I and I The prince was watching the whole process, so he knew that he had been beaten to death and replaced by Li Gou Sheng."

Hearing this, although the old lady did not open her eyes, her face darkened a bit.

"The Li dog that was replaced is left with Mr. Bai. How can I contact Mr. Bai?" Bai Zhi continued to ask.

Li Goucheng thought for a while and replied: "He agreed with me to send a signal, but if he sends the signal now, he will definitely not come, and he will also know that he has been exposed. Otherwise, I would not be here now."

Bai Zhi nodded, she agreed with this.

So she turned her head and looked at the old housekeeper: "How did you say you contacted the young man in white?"

The old housekeeper replied: "It's also a signal."

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube from his pocket.

"You send him one now, I was just thinking about meeting this old friend." Bai Zhi ordered.

The old housekeeper nodded and said, "Okay."

"How dare you!" The old lady suddenly opened her eyes, shouted sternly, and used the cracking technique on him.

The old butler acted as if he hadn't heard it, and went to the courtyard to issue a signal with a bamboo tube.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and said to the old lady: "It's useless for you to use any spells now, so don't waste your time."

When the old lady heard this, she looked sullen and asked: "Why are you so great at such a young age that you can suppress me?"

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and replied: "Nothing else, just because I learned my skills from Grandpa Bai, and he is the top disciple of Qingchengzi."

The old lady was speechless. She naturally knew what Qingchengzi was capable of.

Not long after the signal was sent, the young man in white entered the house.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to run away.

Bai Zhi has set up a barrier around the entire mansion. As long as it enters the barrier, any spell will be ineffective.

Immediately, Young Master Baizhi was captured by the people arranged by Shen Changyan.

Bai Zhi saw the young man in white come in, and she knew it was Linglong even though he was disguised.

"Linglong, you've finally appeared. It must have been hard to follow along the way."

But the young man in white pretended to be stupid, and replied with an accent: "Who are you, why are you arresting me, I'm here as a guest..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Zhi pinched her fingers and recited a formula.

The young man in white couldn't help but pull off his face, revealing his exquisite true face.

"Linglong, what else do you have to say now?" Bai Zhi stared at him and asked casually.

"Young madam, how do you know it's me?" Linglong asked in puzzlement with a look of resignation.

Bai Zhi curled her lips and hummed proudly: "How can I not be sure of your pulse when I was once a defeated general? We have been waiting for you to show up and go to Penglai together."
