Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 83

In Mingshu's room, there was no sound. She didn't disturb her mother when she came back. Things were messed up enough, there was no need for one more person to worry about it.

Chunxiu looked around the door and said that he heard noises in the front yard, probably someone had come.

Who is the one?Is it Yan Ziqin who is back, or is it someone from the palace who came out to convey the news?
Ming Shu leaned on the pillow and remained motionless, not wanting to take any chances, so she would not be disappointed.Even if he can't come back, so what, she can go to ask for help, to complain, this is the era when the doctor can't be punished, in a month, a year, or a lifetime, he will always come back.

So when she saw Yan Ziqin standing in front of her, tears welled up involuntarily.She had planned for the worst, but the best happened. She instinctively threw herself into his arms. Nothing could be happier than reunion.

Yan Ziqin's embrace was very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her, but he was unwilling to let go.After a long time like this, he helped her to sit down and let her rest comfortably on his lap.

"It's all over?" Mingshu asked.

Yan Ziqin didn't answer.

Mingshu looked up at him suspiciously, and said, "Can we go home?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Wait a minute, don't you feel comfortable living in your mother's house? Are you afraid that your mother will find out? Don't worry, I'll go and tell her in a while, and say that you miss your parents and want to come back to live for a while, okay?" ?”

Mingshu's tears had already stopped, but now they became wet again, "I just want to go back to our own home."

Yan Ziqin stroked her hair and said with a smile: "With you and me, no place is home. Where did Du He go?"

Mingshu said: "As soon as I arrived at Qu's house, he left a word and went to find you. If he can't find you, he will go to Yu Lianhuan."

Yan Ziqin said, "We can't let him find it."

Ming Shu asked, "Why?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Although the queen mother has drawn a clear line with the Yu family, in order to preserve her secrets, she will not sit idly by. This is my trouble, and he cannot be involved."

Mingshu said: "Then you still want to catch him?"

How could Yan Ziqin fail to see her worry, and said: "We must go, without him, Xiao Xi's case would not be closed, nor would the case 13 years ago, and future cases will continue one after another. Only by catching He, Xiao Xi, was convinced that Yu Qing had the ambition to stir up conflicts between Song and Liao, so he made up his mind to return to the Liao Kingdom and use the power of the Xiao family as a foreign relative to solve him—all purpose was to get rid of Yu Qing, this matter I am beyond my reach, so I can only borrow Xiao Xi's hand."

Mingshu said: "But... if the Queen Mother finds out what to do, she will do you a disservice!"

Yan Ziqin said: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager also wants to get rid of the Yu family, but she is worried about others finding out about her past. I will handle this matter well, but you must remember that I do this for the sake of our real peace in the future." , so you must keep yourself safe where I can't see you."

If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have to be so devious, he would no longer be alone, with bonds, armor and weakness at the same time.What's more, the palm of his hand was pressed against her abdomen, not only her, but also a new life that made him throbbing endlessly just thinking about it.

"If it wasn't like this, I really don't want to let you go." Ming Shu hugged his waist.

"If it wasn't like this, who would want to leave?" The hand holding her was released, Yan Ziqin's footsteps were far away, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing, Mingshu was lying alone on the cold bamboo couch covered with hibiscus matting Come on, don't look away.

"My lady..." Chunxiu came in, and said very worriedly.

"It's okay." Mingshu sat up and wiped away the tears, "It's past lunch time, let the kitchen prepare the dishes I used to love. From now on, you have to watch me, eat well, sleep well, Don't let me mess around."

With mixed feelings in her heart, Chunxiu nodded and followed her instructions.

Du He left in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that Qu Mingshu was safe, but Luo Qiyu was still at Yan's house.She has nothing to do with the Yan family, even if they want to arrest someone, they won't do anything to her, it must be like this!

As Du He rode his horse through the busy city, he thought that he could only use such a clumsy reason to convince himself to go to Yan Ziqin first.He couldn't get in the palace, so he could only go to Dali Temple to wait for news. Passing Bianshui Street, Fang Yue's two-story pavilion came into his eyes. Thinking of their departure, Fang Yue would be terrified at such a young age. When she was young, she involuntarily glanced at the gate of her house.

After just a glance, Du He reined in.

It is not surprising that the door of Fang Yue's house is closed tightly. Their mother and daughter depend on each other for life, and the mother is unconscious, so she usually closes the windows and locks the door, so it is appropriate to be more cautious.Although the door in front of him was closed, there was a slight gap between the two door panels, as if it was concealed.

He has lived here before, and he knows that many things here have been in disrepair for a long time. In order to make the gate firm, Fang Yue will add an extra latch, otherwise the door will not be able to close tightly.

It wasn't the cautious Fang Yue who closed the door, someone must have come after they left!Du He became alert and peeped tentatively into the door. The courtyard was in a mess, and the food drying in the baskets was scattered all over the floor. It was obvious that there had been struggles and fights.

That assassin has come!Du He only had this idea in his mind. Taking advantage of no one around, he turned over and crossed the courtyard wall as high as one person. The courtyard was silent, only the cicadas on the trees were making noise, but it was this strange silence that made people feel uneasy. end.

If in the past, the slightest movement would have caused Fang Yue's mother to lean out of the window and yell loudly, but now there is no such thing, could it be that she has been held hostage?

Du He walked into the empty main hall almost silently, and one of the chairs was overturned. Du He gradually had doubts in his heart - if Yu Lianhuan really shot, a habitual offender in his prime would have to fight with Fang Yue, who was thirteen and fourteen. Fighting, can't you win with one blow?
Following the traces of the overturned chair, Du He found her body at the end of the corridor.

It was Fang Yue's mother, that crazy woman who was usually disheveled and unkempt, her death was horrible, she was stabbed dozens of times in the chest and left shoulder, bleeding profusely, her tightly clenched hands seemed to be grasping something, in the muddy eyes Full of resentment and hatred.

Breaking away her hand, there was a piece of clothing hidden inside. Du He had already imagined that Yu Lianhuan was holding Fang Yue hostage. Her mother was shocked to see her daughter being held hostage by the murderer who killed her lover. The pain and depression of 13 years erupted in an instant. Even if the sharp knife pierces through the chest, the persistence that refuses to let go, until death.Look at her eyes that are dying, staring at the stairs on the left, the scarlet bloody footprints on the stairs are still fresh.

Upstairs is the mad woman's bedroom. Even Fang Yue rarely enters it. Yu Lianhuan broke into it openly. It must be to find something that has been hidden by her in a corner that no one knows for 13 years. If she hadn't been fighting madly with it Yu Lianhuan definitely wanted to coerce her to identify the hiding place, so he might not kill her.Now that she is dead, in order to achieve his goal, Yu Lianhuan will not hurt Fang Yue's life for the time being.

Du He heard the faint voice of conversation inside the door again, a muffled male voice, and then Fang Yue's shy and soft voice. He was temporarily relieved, but he couldn't push the door open for a long time.

He didn't have a weapon in his hand, and since he lost a stick, he hadn't found a new side weapon.He is like this, until he loses it before he realizes that he is actually an idiot who can only hang himself on a tree.

"Where is the Khitan letter, tell me if you don't want to die!" the man inside the door threatened.

"I don't know, you can kill me, anyway, you have already killed my mother." Fang Yue's trembling but stubborn voice answered him.

A series of crackling sounds, it was a man rummaging through boxes.

His attention was distracted, now would be an excellent time to attack, the mad woman's wound was on her left shoulder, he was probably a right-handed man, controlled his right hand holding the knife, grabbed Fang Yue, stabbed back with his hand, and hit her throat , One hit kills!
Just as Du He was about to break through the door, a hand was placed on his shoulder, making him almost scream.

The people behind are Yan Ziqin, Cheng Dutou and his subordinates who are at war.With a calm and firm expression, Yan Ziqin gestured to Du He not to move rashly, and then heard voices coming from the door.

"The bricks on the wall protrude, are they inside the wall? Are they inside the wall!"

"I have no idea!"

The man in the room was still looking for the Khitan letter, what was written on it?Du He was full of doubts, and Cheng Dutou was the same, and Yan Ziqin was always calm and composed, listening intently to what was going on inside the door.

"It's this, isn't it this!" Accompanied by the man's voice was a series of rustling sounds of paper flipping. At this moment, the moment Yan Ziqin waved his hand, Cheng Dutou and his subordinates rushed into the room and swept the room to the ground. Surrounded by the two of them, Cheng Dutou personally blocked the window to prevent the man from breaking through the window and escaping.

Fang Yue was held hostage by a short and thin man, less than [-] years old, with a sluggish complexion and a Bianliang accent. Judging by his appearance alone, he was indistinguishable from the crowd, but there was a fierceness in his brows, which distinguished him from ordinary people. open.

The tip of the knife was pressed against Fang Yue's throat, and he held an envelope in his other hand, and a wall brick under his feet showed that the letter came from the wall.

"Just come here and see if I dare to kill her!" The man sneered, although he had no way out, he showed no sign of fear.

"Just give me the letter in your hand, whatever you want, you can do whatever you want." Yan Ziqin's voice was calm and restrained, but Du He was shocked—what did he mean, did he let him wantonly kill people just because of this letter?

The man approached the lampstand on the table, the room was dim, and the lamp had to be lit even during the daytime, "Hehe, I knew you wanted it too, why don't you come and be my hostage, or I'll burn it, and I'll die!"

Yan Ziqin opened his defenseless arms almost immediately, indicating that he was not a threat and was willing to be a hostage, and walked towards him step by step, full of flaws, a direct stab would kill him.

Du He was stunned, and the man on the opposite side took a few steps back in surprise, worried that it was another ambush.

As Yan Ziqin got closer and closer, he suddenly turned around, picked up the lampstand, and threw it to the ground. The blazing flame was extremely bright for a moment, and then went out.He shouted: "Do it!" There was a scuffle in the darkness, until the sound disappeared, and when the lights came back on, the man had already killed himself, Fang Yue was also stabbed, bleeding profusely, and his mind was blurred. Swallowed it into the stomach, leaving only a few fragments in Yan Ziqin's hands, which should have been left during the struggle.

Cheng Dutou and his subordinates also lost their lottery, he slumped on the ground and said discouragedly: "Come on, the person is dead, the letter is gone, it's useless!"

Fang Yue's home was sealed off, and when Yan Ziqin and Du He left, Du He changed his old temperament and said nothing, "Are you remembering me?"

Ever since he found out that Yan Ziqin had come back safe and sound, Du He suddenly realized that Yan Ziqin hadn't revealed the truth. The upright person took a long time to speak: "You shouldn't use Fang Yue as a bait—you waited outside the door for so long just to let Yu Lianhuan find that letter, so you can reap the benefits, right?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Yes."

Du He sneered and said: "It's a pity that the letter has been destroyed! I've known you for so many years, I know you are a selfish and vicious person, and you trample on other people's lives for meritorious service! Let me take Fang Yue away, I'm afraid you will harm her. "

Yan Ziqin said: "She is a witness, she must go back with me."

Du He was too righteous and impulsive, and Yan Ziqin knew that if he was with him like this, he would only be dragged into the quagmire from which he could not get out.He regards Du He as a friend, and he can't be implicated any longer. At this point, he would rather let him hate himself.

Facing Cheng Dutou's covetous subordinates, Du He was too angry to speak, and was about to leave after leading the horse, but was stopped by Yan Ziqin.

"This horse belongs to my family. I can recognize you wherever you go."

No wonder Yan Ziqin also came to Fang Yue's house, because he saw the horse parked outside the door.Du He got angry for a while, threw off the rein, and left on foot angrily.

He doesn't care about this muddy water anymore!He wanted to take Luo Qiyu back, so that she would not have anything to do with this changed hypocrite Yan Ziqin. If possible, he even wanted to tell Mingshu to stay in the Qu family and not to live with this ungrateful person.

When they arrived at Yan Ziqin's house, Nanny Chen cross-examined her carefully and made sure that Du He was not threatening before letting her go, but when she arrived at Luo Qiyu's door, the door was locked tightly.

"Ms. Luo was picked up this morning." Nanny Chen explained.

This news was no less than a bolt from the blue to Du He, who suddenly remembered what she had said about her brother going to Beijing to pick her up and return to his hometown, but he still chose to avoid her because he doubted her.She is so decisive, and he is so dark and cowardly.The successive blows made him feel in a trance that everything today was a continuous nightmare, but just now when he hugged Fang Yue, the blood stains on his sleeves were still wet, reminding him that this is reality.

After knocking open the door, Luo Qiyu's room was already empty, except for a familiar object on the table.

Nanny Chen asked strangely, "Why did Mrs. Luo leave a clothes drying pole?" She wanted to pick it up to have a look, but it was too heavy to lift her hands. "Yaoshou, a wooden stick is so heavy, it looks like it's made of iron!"

Take a closer look, it is really made of iron, with a layer of wooden lacquer, which makes Chen Momo even more confused, not knowing what Luo Niangzi is for.

Only Du and Dai stood there, not knowing what to say, especially when he saw a letter under the pressure:

"Dulang is on the right.

This thing was lost in a humble place, and my heart was uneasy. After running for more than a month, I was able to return it.In the past, I was so infatuated that I didn't remonstrate with my concubine. The poem said: "My son thinks of me, and I wear clothes and wear Qin."If you don't think about yourself, don't you have others? "Lang is not a mad boy, and concubines are also ordinary people. They will never be apart, let alone remember each other. I just pray, and everyone will be happy."

Luo's woman Kai. "

The letter in the hand seems to weigh a thousand catties, every gain and loss, after all, the loss is heavier.

Yan Ziqin and Cheng Du headed back to Dali Temple to report to Dali Temple Minister Ren Zheng.It was gratifying that Yu Lianhuan was captured, but Cheng Du said with a headache that he could not be captured alive. There was also an important letter, which was said to be written in Khitan language, but Yu Lianhuan swallowed it and asked Wu Zuo to cut open his abdomen, but the ink stains were found in his stomach. The acid was soaked in a blur, and the content was already unrecognizable.

Ren Zheng said with a smile, if there is a gain, there must be a loss, and he wrote a letter to the emperor and the queen mother that day.It is said that it was not Ren Zheng who was summoned by the Empress Dowager in private, but Yan Ziqin, his subordinate. They had a secret conversation for half a day, which made Mingshu feel anxious again. She used to be extremely envious of the Jiuzhong Palace, but now she even heard the word "enter the palace" He would feel palpitations, and when he was hesitating whether to ask his father or even his uncle Yan Shu for news, Yan Ziqin came back and still worked in Dali Temple. As before, he sorted out the execution of the death row prisoner after Qiu Hou, and ignored other affairs.

It's just that the official residence that Yan Ziqin rented has been vacant, and they haven't been back.Yan Ziqin didn't mention it, and Ming Shu didn't ask. Although Mrs. Qu was puzzled, it was always good to have her daughter and son-in-law by her side.That day, Mingshu watched her younger brother picking up fallen leaves on the steps, and asked about Wang Anshi's situation after returning home.

The assassination case of the envoy of the Liao Kingdom can finally be closed, because the content of the letter involves the Khitan language, which may be related to the factional struggles in the Liao Kingdom. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom did not intend to pursue it any further, and determined that Yu Lianhuan had nothing to do with the Song court , let it be nothing more than that.Although Xiao Xi was stabbed in the body, the end result was to preserve the peace that had lasted for more than [-] years after the Chanyuan Alliance, so he often laughed at himself that the knife was worth it. It is not difficult to get them back hundreds of times, and with the power of the Xiao family, as long as you make up your mind, it is not difficult to squeeze these people out.

But what was written in the letter that was swallowed?The government and the public were silent, and Mingshu kept silent on the surface, and speculated again and again in private.The stomach became more and more obvious day by day, and he guessed more than a dozen kinds of inferences. After racking his brains, Yan Ziqin only shook his head again and again.

"You keep shaking your head, as if you know what's in the letter!" Three months later, Mingshu finally couldn't help complaining to him.

Yan Ziqin didn't speak, and Ming Shu, who turned his head away, suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked at him in surprise, only to see that his expression was calm, but there were complicated emotions in his eyes - he always did this when he was upset, he could deceive others, but he couldn't. She is with her day and night.

"You don't really know!"

Yan Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel that the time had come. Looking into Ming Shu's surprised eyes, he asked, "Do you still remember Wang Er?"

Wang Er?Isn't it the Shuzhou student who died tragically in the well after taking the exam in the capital?Although only a few years have passed, Mingshu feels that it is already a matter of her previous life, "What does it have to do with him?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Du He was present at that time, and Yu Qing was also present. It is normal for you not to know."

Mentioning Du He, Ming Shu couldn't help sighing again.When he found out that Luo Qiyu had left Bianliang, he left a message and hurriedly followed her away. Three months have passed, and there is no news.In that message, Mingshu was told to take a good rest, and there will be a period later, but there was nothing about Yan Ziqin, which made Mingshu worry about some misunderstanding between them.

Yan Ziqin continued: "The real Wang Er has already died in the inn in Shuzhou. The Wang Er in the capital was sent by Yu Qing. into the court."
