Great Lawyer

Chapter 718 Behind the Murderer ([-])

"Have you found it?" King Jiujiang looked sad, "Where is this child from, why did he want to harm King Ning?"

King Gui replied: "Huairou man, his mother passed away in early August, and he bought his own money to bury her."

"After a few days after entering, it was bought back by King Ning." King Gui said.

The King of Jiujiang frowned, stood in front of Bai Jun, and said, "Such a young child has no grievances or enmity with King Ning, so there is no reason to harm King Ning."

"If he wasn't instigated by others, then...would he also be a victim?"

King Gui shook his head, "Who will make King Ning take the poison pill willingly? Although there are not many people in Prince Ning's mansion, people will always find out if they come in and out of the room."

"It makes sense," King Jiujiang looked at Bai Jun's body, "The imperial doctor said Taoist Mao went to make alchemy, can he be saved?"

King Gui didn't know either, and said uncertainly: "Take the medicine first, I don't know if it will be good."

The King of Jiujiang sighed, and said, "I will go to the palace with Eunuch Xue, and I will answer the Holy Spirit."

He said, and left with Xue Yin.

Du Jiuyan called the cripple and King Gui, and the three found an empty room. The cripple asked, "Is there something wrong with the clothes?"

"Look," she took out Bai Jun's old clothes, found scissors, and cut off the collar. The three of them saw a piece of paper falling out of the collar. Du Jiuyan opened the paper, glanced at it and said, " It's a letter."

"Let Bai Jun sell himself into the Hechun Pavilion, and King Ning will come in three days. Let him find an opportunity to get close and be bought back by King Ning."

"King Ning likes children who are gentle and well-behaved, but they should be naughty and cute when getting along."

After reading it, Du Jiuyan handed it to King Gui, "Look, what's so special about this letter."

King Gui looked around, his face darkened, and said, "I don't recognize the handwriting, but the letter paper of this letter looks familiar."

Paper and ink are the same, although the shape and function are the same, but the things produced by each master can be recognized by an expert at a glance.In particular, the big families in the capital, in order to show their differences, order paper separately, and those masters will do some work on the dark lines of the paper to distinguish the different styles of each family.

"Whose paper?" The lame man took it and flipped through it, then asked King Gui, "It's from the Jingning Marquis?"

King Gui nodded, "It's from the Jingning Marquis Mansion. The dark lines on the paper are slanted lines with ripples, and there is no center point."

The lame man checked it according to his description, nodded and said, "That's true."

"So, the matter of King Ning is indeed the work of the Marquis of Jingning." The lame man asked, "What is your plan? Do you want to find out about King Ning's matter before you talk about it, or choose to trust them and confront them first?" ?”

King Gui said sullenly: "Investigate first! We will go to Huairou in the afternoon."

The lame man said nothing.

At noon, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite King Gui to the palace. King Gui returned and said that he was not free. The five of them went to Huairou with Du Jiuyan, the cripple, Heizi and Pei Ying.

The Empress Dowager called Xie Hua into the palace and asked, "Did you find Qingyan Sanren?"

"Yes, the servant heard something when he went in to deliver tea. The prince was very angry when he came back." Xie Hua explained in detail what he knew, "...when the servant came back in the morning, the servant didn't know What happened, but later I heard that something happened there, and only then did I know that Qingyan Sanren was silenced last night."

The queen mother frowned slightly, "Didn't the Ai family hear that Pan Youliang's lost son was found?"

"Is it related to this matter?"

Xie Hua nodded, and recounted Yin Shou's life experience: "...it was Qingyan Loose Practitioner who took him out of the palace, knocked him unconscious and threw him into the water."

"There is such a thing!" The Empress Dowager leaned back on the chair with deep thoughts in her eyes, while Qian Momo's expression changed slightly.

Huairou, Heizi stood under a mountain, pointing to the foot of the mountain to the north, "Just go around here, it's easy to find."

"Did he get the coffin up by himself?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Heizi nodded, "This kid is very tenacious. No one invited him, so he tied the coffin with a rope. One person dragged it up, and the other dug the hole."

Several people went up the mountain, and Heizi found Bai Jun's mother's tomb without a hitch, and when they dug it up, everyone was taken aback.

Because the coffin was empty, there was nothing in it at all.

"No way," Heizi couldn't believe it, "it must be here, I won't remember it wrong."

He was afraid that King Gui and the others would think he was lying, so he couldn't help walking around twice, and he didn't give up on jumping down to continue digging.

"No need," Du Jiuyan said, "There was no one in the coffin from the beginning."

They also had long thought that since it was fake for Bai Jun to sell himself, it was also fake to go back with Prince Ning, so of course his mother's death couldn't be true.

However, they can be more sure if they come to check.

"I'll go to the village to ask." After the lame man finished speaking, Pei Ying said, "I'll accompany you."

The cripple looked back at her, and the two went to the village.

Heizi restored the tomb.

Du Jiuyan was walking around with King Gui, she squatted down and picked up the soil and looked at it, King Gui asked, "What's wrong with the soil?"

"I haven't thought of it yet." Du Jiuyan pointed to the mountainside, "Is it full of tombs?"

King Gui nodded, "There are many ancestral graves in Beijing here. It is said that this mountain has good geomantic omen, so I chose this place."

Du Jiuyan nodded and turned to look at him.

The autumn wind was already in a bleak state, and the fallen leaves fluttered and fell around. King Gui didn't sleep all night, and his complexion was not good at the moment, his eyes were dark and lost the expression of the past. Did it confirm your idea?"

King Gui didn't come back, just looked at her, sighed, and said, "Yanyan, if one day you and I become enemies, will you...will you hate me?"

Du Jiuyan is so smart, when he said it, she asked, "Your uncle and queen mother killed my parents?"

"No," King Gui hugged her, put his head on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "When I was young, I read gossip, and it was always said that siblings fight each other, and brothers fight against each other, which is the fate of royal children. I just don't believe it, I am alone Go to Long'en Temple, kneel and kowtow in front of the Buddha, and beg him to bless our brothers not to kill each other, and bless everyone in our family to keep their duties, unlike the previous dynasty, where brothers fought to the death for the throne. "

"So, I played with every brother, laughed with them, and never divided them into children. I kept organizing everyone to make trouble together."

"Emotions come out of getting along. Those brothers who fight with each other must have never gotten along well."

King Gui sighed, "I tried my best to win over my brothers, but I couldn't make the people behind them live in harmony."

"Yanyan, am I being too naive?"

Du Jiuyan's heart is so soft that it can be broken at the touch. She hugged him back and said in a low voice, "No, you are the kindest and gentle person in the world. They betrayed you."

King Gui's purity and kindness can only be felt after getting along with him.

She believed that no matter who was with him, they would not be willing to hurt him, would not be willing to make him sad, and would not be willing to let him down.

So beautiful, like a shining sun, projecting the light in his heart, illuminating everyone he loves and cares about.

"My lord, you are the best lord in the whole world, there is no one like this before!"

The hem of the clothes is floating, and the wind is cool, passing through the dense forest, the fallen leaves are rolled up and danced, and then slowly fall, the fallen leaves are mixed together, it is difficult to tell who used to be who.

In the distance, the cripple looked over and landed on the two people embracing each other. His footsteps paused, and he walked towards them again.

Pei Ying followed behind, picked up a dead leaf, and lit it against the setting sun. The leaf was dyed red in the evening glow. She smiled and said, "Tomorrow will be a fine day!"

"Inquired." The cripple walked over and stood in front of the two of them. King Gui calmed down his emotions, let go of Du Jiuyan, looked at him, and asked, "What do you say?"

The cripple replied: "People in the village say that Bai Jun is indeed from their village, and his mother has been sick all the time, but she died a few days ago, and Bai Jun refused to let everyone help. After the mother was buried, she disappeared."

"No one knows that the coffin is empty." Du Jiuyan said, "Have you visited his house?"

The lame man shook his head, "Would you like to take a look? I've inquired. It's at the head of the village."

"Go!" Du Jiuyan said.

The four of them went down the mountain, and Heizi stood guard at the intersection. They entered Bai Jun's house. The sky was still bright, but the house was dark.

There are three earth houses, with bedrooms on the east and west sides and the main room in the middle.The three rooms were empty, without even a decent piece of furniture.

"His father died of illness when he was born, and his mother took him to live alone. A few years ago, he had his mother, and they had a good life. In the past two years, his mother has also fallen ill, and his family's life has come to an end. Day." Pei Ying said, "I asked, his mother's illness is actually not very serious, but a chronic cough that doesn't heal, it should be due to overwork and hurt her vitality, if you have money, take medicine for two years to recuperate."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "There is something very strange."

Everyone looked at him.

"Bai Jun sold himself for ten taels to save his mother, and Ru Ning's mansion killed someone. Would the other party give him money, and where did the money from selling his body go?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"It was taken away by his mother." King Gui said, "If he wants to save his mother, he has to sacrifice his life."

Taking medicine for two years, ten taels is not enough.

"Yes." Du Jiuyan said, "His mother is so seriously ill, and she can't be found out, so she must not be far away."

The lame man nodded and said, "Search."

The four dispersed and began to search three rooms. Pei Ying was pushing aside the pile of firewood and shouted, "Master Lame, come and see."
