Lady Wan Guan

Gu Zhouting did not expect that among the murderers of Prince Su He, there was actually a spy from the Great Shu Kingdom.

It seems that this case needs to be retried. Why did the Shu Kingdom want to kill Prince Su He? Did they want to provoke a dispute between Da Qi and Dayuan, or did they have other intentions.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Mr. Jiang Ning, how did you convince Mu Li? Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment had interrogated him many times before, but he never revealed his identity."

Gu Zhouting deliberately provoked this topic. Wan Ning was able to persuade Mu Li, so he must have promised enough benefits to make Mu Li interested. While His Highness was here, he let the Second Highness take over the burden.

Xiao Yan was also curious: "Yes, they say that spies in Shu have the toughest bones and the strictest mouths."

Jiang Wanning looked at Mu Li who was being taken away and said: "Maybe after being in prison for a long time, the spirit of resistance was gone and I became more unwilling. I promised him to let him and Zhu Zhu go after that. Live the life you want.”

"Of course, he still needs to provide more useful information."

Gu Zhouting frowned, wondering: "I can't make the decision in this matter."

Xiao Yan disagreed: "The matter is urgent. If Mu Li hadn't come and interfered with Mu En's determination to die, we wouldn't have been able to capture Mu En alive. Mu Li has also accomplished a meritorious service. Besides, if he says it out, the water will be poured out." , since Jiang Ning has made a promise, there is no reason to go back on it, Mr. Gu, you interrogate him again, if he cooperates, let him go, I have the final say in this matter."

In short, Jiang Wanning cannot be allowed to be a person who breaks his word.

"Since His Highness has spoken, I will obey the orders." Gu Zhou stopped and followed the trend.

Gu Zhouting asked Lu Sen and others to stay and check carefully to see if there was any mystery in the secret room.

After leaving the house, Zheng Guan returned with his people to search the gambling house.

The two made eye contact, and Zheng Guan shook his head. He found nothing unusual, but that didn't mean there was nothing unusual about the gambling house.

"Keep staring here."

"Yes."

Shen Jingshan stood on the porch and fed the pigeon water. The pigeon drank two mouthfuls of water and then fell down and twitched all over. After a while, it stopped moving.

Shen Jingshan showed regret and ordered his men: "Take it and bury it."

Gu Zhouting had noticed this carrier pigeon just now, and he could no longer keep this carrier pigeon.

Once the carrier pigeon falls into Gu Zhouting's hands, Gu Zhouting will be able to follow the carrier pigeon to the intelligence network he has carefully laid.

The subordinate carried the bird cage down, and another one came down to report: "Master Shen, the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, and Mu En... was captured alive."

Shen Jingshan said nothing for a while, his brows furrowed.

The medicinal materials were intercepted and Mu En was arrested. There were various signs that it was no longer safe for him here. There was a risk of exposure at any time, and he must evacuate immediately.

Mu En is trustworthy, but there are no absolutes in anything. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. As a guest, every step you take is like walking on thin ice. You need to be cautious and cautious, and you can't take any chances.

But if he really left, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Mu En didn't call him out. He panicked and ran away. All his previous efforts were in vain, and he was unwilling to suffer such a big loss.

Shen Jingshan was in a dilemma.

"Master Shen, you'd better go out and take shelter." His subordinate advised.

Shen Jingshan shook his head: "This place should have been targeted. Please go down. Everyone is being cautious lately."

He decided to take a gamble.

Bet that Mu En wouldn't betray him, bet that Gu Zhouting couldn't get the evidence, as long as he kept a low profile and made no mistakes, Gu Zhouting couldn't do anything to him.

Let’s wait until the limelight passes.

However, he still needs to let that person know about his situation, otherwise it will be terrible if that person doesn't know the danger and bumps into him. In the interrogation room of Dali Temple, Gu Zhouting and Jiang Wanning interrogated Mu Li together.

"Mr. Jiang has made your promise. I have asked someone to go to the Ministry of Justice to pick up Zhu Zhu. But before that, you still need to answer a few questions. If your answers satisfy me, I can also help you." You can declare to the outside world that you and Zhu Zhu have surrendered to the law, and you can live the lives you want without worrying about being chased by the Wuyi Guards." Gu Zhou stopped.

"My lord, you want to ask, why do we want to kill Prince Su He?"

"Yes, what is your purpose of killing Prince Su He?"

Mu Li hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know the specific reason. I was just following orders. What I can tell you is that Prince Su He received a secret letter before he died, and then went out for a trip. I vaguely heard So he told the coachman to enter the palace, and a woman came to the prince's palace that night, and she seemed to have a dispute with the prince."

"Wait, how did you know they had a dispute? Did you hear it? What was the content of the dispute?"

Mu Li shook his head: "I didn't hear it. After the woman left, the prince asked Zhu Zhu to go in and clean up. A fine blue and white plum vase was smashed. Prince Su He is very cautious. Usually when he meets important people in the study, No one is allowed in the yard.”

"Have you seen that woman's face clearly?"

"No, the woman was wrapped very tightly. She was wearing a cloak and a bonnet. She was tall..."

Mu Li's eyes fell on Jiang Wan Ning: "She is about the same height as Mr. Jiang, and she has a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of plum blossoms."

"What happened next?" Gu Zhouting asked.

"After the woman left, Prince Su He seemed to be in a good mood. He specially summoned some singing and dancing girls from Chunfeng Tower. The next day I received an order to kill him."

Gu Zhouting and Jiang Wanning looked at each other. Could it be that the woman was from the palace?

"Any more?"

Mu Li said: "That's all."

"You should think about it carefully when you go back. If you think of anything, come and see me at any time."

Mu Li was taken down.

Gu Zhouting rubbed his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that there was another mystery behind Prince Su He's death. If I had persisted in interrogating him, I might have had the answer long ago."

But at that time, he only thought about resolving the crisis between Daqi and Dayuan. After finding out that Mu Li and Zhu Zhu were both from Shu, he was satisfied and did not expect to dig deeper.

But there was one thing that he was calculating mentally but not calculating.

The death of Prince Su He was indeed a conspiracy of Shu.

Jiang Wanning comforted him: "At that time, Mu Li was determined. No matter how much you asked, you couldn't get anything out. Some things depend on timing. When the timing comes, the problem will be solved."

"Now our focus should be on the palace. After checking, we found a woman who is about the same height as me and smells like plum blossoms."

Gu Zhouting nodded: "We have to ask His Highness to take action on this matter."

He could not investigate people in the palace without the emperor's authorization.

Besides, the matter is not yet clear, so it is better not to report it to the emperor for the time being.

"By the way, I heard from Zheng Guan that the Song family is causing trouble for you again?"

"Well, he has already been driven out of the capital."

"I'm sorry, I'm too busy these days..."

Jiang Wanning interrupted him: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter, I can handle it myself."

She knew that he and Ji Yunchen went to check for ore those days and were not in the capital. Even if he was in the capital, she couldn't find him for everything.
