I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 383 The mistress recognized by the young master

Isn't this the Superintendent Jiao whom I met when he entered the palace last time? I remember that day he was walking in the palace with a group of young eunuchs, and Mr. Mo was among them.

It had only been a while, but he had already been promoted. He couldn't complain that he had heard the conversation outside the door and always felt that it was inexplicably familiar.

But Luo Qianhuai did not dare to draw conclusions based on this. This person and Mr. Mo had known each other before.

There is another possibility. Inspector Jiao did not know Mr. Mo's true identity at the time, but was just used by him.

In addition, the late emperor died that night. Even if the other party guessed it later, he would only keep silent to avoid getting into trouble.

If this was the case, then it was probably because of this consideration that he did not call for people to arrest him immediately.

So although this place seems to be in a desperate situation, maybe she can use her peerless master's vest to scare the timid Jiao Lingjian?
Maybe we can also find out Mr. Mo's whereabouts. Or maybe it's hard to say what his fate will be.

She has had successful experience with this kind of thing before, so she doesn't feel guilty if she repeats the same trick now.

Having made up his mind, Luo Qianhuai looked at Jiao Lingjian resolutely for a moment. He had prepared the words to deceive him in his mind. When he was about to speak, he saw the other party suddenly looked away and quickly turned to Jiao Lingjian. She took two steps, then knelt down with a plop, and bowed to the ground in a decent manner.

"Thank you Madam Luo for your generous help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the young master would probably not be able to survive today."

Jiao Zuo's voice was hoarse and slightly choked.

Luo Qianhuai's hanging heart suddenly fell back to where it was. The fact that Jiao Lingjian is Mr. Mo's subordinate is nothing compared to the other meaning revealed in his words just now.

Luo Qianhuai was stunned for a moment: "Does Inspector Jiao know about me?"

"Of course." Jiao Zuo said respectfully: "Last night after you brought the young master into the palace, I received a message from the leader of the guard camp, ordering me to take care of you."

He also explained the arrangements he had made: "Although the Jinwu Guards are responsible for searching the palaces, I have spies in each palace. I have checked in advance before them, but no trace of you, Madam, has been found. Subordinates I thought you had left the palace, but unexpectedly you came directly to me."

He said these words while still kneeling on the ground. Luo Qianhuai couldn't get used to it, so he directly went to help the person: "Jiao Lingjian, please get up quickly. Is the young master safe? Where is he at this moment?"

Jiaozuo refused to get up. He kowtowed respectfully three times to Luo Qianhuai, then stood up and stood aside. He bowed and told in detail what happened after Luo Qianhuai left last night.

Luo Qianhuai's focus fell on Mr. Mo's injury.

"Is the fever really gone?"

"Yes, I personally confirmed it before leaving." This was the second time Jiaozuo called himself this. Luo Qianhuai raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. Wei Cang had inexplicably claimed to be a subordinate in front of her before. She thought the other party was a slip of the tongue caused by anxiety, but the same thing happened to the person in front of her, which was a bit weird.

If she guessed correctly, this Jiao Lingjian was the eunuch order in the palace, the big leader who commanded all the eunuchs. He would not listen to anyone except the emperor. Even the important officials of the imperial court would not dare to offend this person easily. kind of people.

Wei Cang might have said something wrong, but Jiao Lingjian could not. The people in the palace have long formed the habit of turning every word at least a few times in their minds before speaking, otherwise the corpses would have already filled the well, and they would not be able to reach such a high position.

"The little girl is just a commoner." Luo Qianhuai thought for a moment and said, "I only met the young master by chance. We can barely be considered friends. There is no need for Jiao Lingjian to be polite."

Who is Jiaozuo? I can't tell the meaning of clearing up the relationship in her words. It's just that other people may not be clear about the young master's intentions, but he has already received relevant instructions and knows that this person is the mistress that the young master recognizes.

To say that before, he had some slight remarks about Mrs. Luo getting favored by the young master for nothing, but after last night, he was completely convinced.

Standing at the top of Dayu, you see people and things from a different perspective than others. Courage, martial arts, and extraordinary medical skills are secondary. The more important thing is to know how to calculate people's hearts.

The occasion and timing of Madam Luo's attack were just right, and the thoughts of the Young Emperor and the others were all grasped by her, and her calculations were clear.

Jiaozuo never believed that there was such a thing as luck in the world, so the results before him must have been carefully planned. According to the information he received, after hearing the news, Mrs. Luo had completed the entire plan in just a cup of tea and decided to take action.

There is no shortage of capable people in Weiyang Palace, but it is extremely rare to be able to control people's hearts and turn the situation back to the current situation in such a short period of time.

Even he himself slowly figured it out after seeing the behavior of Young Emperor Yu Jin after the ministers entered the palace.

Yu Jin was still young, and after receiving the large sum of money from the young master, his attitude towards him had obviously changed, but it was also limited.

It happened that at this juncture, someone killed Marquis Ding and put the blame on the young master. In a short period of time, many witnesses came forward, trying their best to suppress the case and make it true. The little emperor's goodwill that had finally risen was inevitably wiped out again. Lose.

If Madam Luo hadn't taken action tonight, they would have had no choice but to concentrate all their forces in Beijing to attack Tingwei Mansion and rob the prisoners. It is hard to say whether the person can be rescued. From then on, the young master has no choice but to leave Xijing and live in exile.

But if he doesn't do this, the young master will definitely not be able to see the sun this morning. At that time, Zhang Shichang will only have to avenge death or commit suicide out of fear of crime and settle the case, and the young emperor will not make it difficult for him.

But when Mrs. Luo took action, everything was completely different.

His Majesty saw with his own eyes the tragic situation of the young master after being tortured. He was so shocked that he was inevitably angry. On the one hand, the young master has the blood of the late emperor flowing in his body. People can die, but they cannot be abused like this; on the other hand, he has spoken so eloquently that no severe punishment is allowed, but some people actually ignored it and even tried to bully him when he inquired about it. Sir, no matter how young the young emperor is, he will never tolerate this kind of thing.

Because of this, Yu Jin also had doubts about the Dinghou case itself: If the evidence chain is really complete and impeccable, then it would be easy to continue the trial and wait for the canon punishment. Why bother to do so and harm Yu Chu so early? life?

Jiaozuo knew Yu Jin, and he almost perfectly inherited the late emperor's character traits of suspicion, jealousy, and overachievement. So when he became suspicious and summoned Tang Zhan to investigate, the real turning point came.
