Chapter 978 Waiting for the Arrival of Prey

Meng Yan suddenly thought of Yin Heng's eyes, raised her hand and slapped her forehead, feeling a little confused for a moment, and murmured: "Chongyi, Jinlin people are born with golden pupils, right?"

Chongyi said solemnly: "The princess cannot be bewitched by him."

Meng Yan took a deep breath and said, "I'm not bewitched, I'm just thinking about what reason Chongli took the risk to show up and drive you and me out of the city."

The amount of information given by Chongli this time is simply too great.

Not only is it about the bloodline, but also about the false surrender of King Wu of Yin. Is it true or not?

She couldn't help thinking, if the two things of blood and surrender were spread, if she really escaped from Beijing at this time, then it would be true that King Yin Wu had a different intention.

At that time, the entire Yinwu Prince's Mansion will be in catastrophe.

Maybe this is the real intention of Chongli's trip.

The more Meng Yan thought about it, the worse she said, "Chongyi, check the carriage and see if there are any clues."

Chongyi immediately jumped into the carriage, removed the coils, and beat the inside and outside of the carriage again, but found no other traces.

So Meng Yan made a decisive decision and said sharply: "Put him into the carriage, and burn the people and the carriage together."

Chongyi summoned two secret guards and carried Chongli into the car.

As soon as Chongli fell into the carriage, the little peace talisman in his arms fell out.

It's just that the hidden guards were busy lighting the fire and dealing with the blood on the ground, so no one paid attention.

After a while, the carriage was on fire in the yard.

***
Here, the confidant reported to the man in Jinyi: "Master, Ah Li has already gone to do it. According to the master's order, the letter from King Wu of Yin and the evidence of adultery with Jin Lin were prepared in the carriage. As long as Ah Li persuades Princess Yin Wu, immediately If you leave the city, you can intercept people at the gate of the city, and everything is under the master's control."

The man in brocade clothes nodded and asked, "Did Ah Li go there in person?"

The confidant said: "He said that this will make Princess Yin Wu more convinced."

The man in brocade groaned and said: "Princess Yin Wu is a smart person, it depends on whether he can be smarter than Princess Yin Wu."

Afterwards, neither the man in Jinyi nor his confidants could wait for Chongli to come back.

The confidant sent someone out to inquire, but his whereabouts were unknown, and Princess Yin Wu did not leave the city immediately as planned.

The man in Jinyi knew that something was wrong, and said without discerning emotions or anger, "Well, Ah Li still has a heart of compassion, and in the end he undoubtedly got himself involved."

The man in brocade sat for a while, and his confidant went out to investigate in person, and finally found out the details.

The confidant found the deserted house under the name of King Yin Wu, and found traces of burns in the courtyard.There is a pile of black charcoal piled under the tree in the yard, including the waste residue of burned wood and the bone residue of burned corpses.

The confidant didn't stay long, and then dug out the deserted house.

During this time, Meng Yan and Chongyi had been standing in the dark place, holding their breath, quietly watching the confidant come in with great care.

At that time, Chongyi couldn't help but wanted to attack him by surprise, but was held down by Meng Yan.

Chongyi knew that she had other ideas, so he didn't act rashly.

Until the man turned over the courtyard wall and left again, Meng Yan let go of Chongyi's hand instantly, and said in a low voice: "Go after him, you don't need to fight him, and don't be discovered by him, I want to see whose house he entered. Door."

It turned out that after Meng Yan and Chongyi burned the carriage, they did not leave in a hurry.She thought that since Chongli had someone behind him, after he was planted here, the person behind him might send someone to investigate the situation.

So she lurks in the dark with great patience, quietly waiting for the arrival of her prey.

As she expected, a clue really came.

The reason why she held down Chongyi and didn't let her do it was thinking that even if he was caught, like Chongli, if he was a tough guy, even if he was severely tortured, he might not be able to pry out any useful information. .

Only by following the direction in which he left could she find the information she wanted.

Chongyi immediately ran towards that person.

On this side, his confidant returned to Jin Yiren's side, and said solemnly: "This subordinate found the place where Ah Li and Princess Yin Wu met, and found that the carriage was burned along with others."

Chongli failed to return in time, and the people in Jinyi already expected that something might have happened.Now when he heard his confidant say it in person, he still closed his eyes, looking a bit lamented.

Jin Yi said humanely: "I raised that child, Ah Li, with my own hands. I thought he was a smart child, but unexpectedly, he was mistaken for his cleverness. This Princess Yin Wu cannot be underestimated."

Then he shook his clothes and stood up, and while going to the inner room to change, he said again: "Have you found all the people you asked to find?"

The confidant said: "I have found it, and I am settling elsewhere. It can be used at any time."

***
Meng Yan has been waiting in the deserted house for nearly an hour before finally waiting for Chongyi to return.

Chongyi was sweating profusely, exhausted enough.

It's just that when she looked up at Meng Yan, her expression was very solemn, and she tried her best to hold herself down to catch her breath.

Meng Yan asked, "Have you caught up?"

Chongyi nodded.

Meng Yan asked, "Where did he go?"

Chongyi said: "I saw him turn into Shouwang Mansion with my own eyes."

Meng Yan was stunned.Then he said, "Let's go back first."

The two of them crossed two streets and went to the place where the carriage of the palace was hidden. After getting on the carriage, Chongyi hurried to the palace.

Meng Yan frowned and said: "Chongyi, when you go back, immediately dismiss the whole palace. Right now, the emperor has not ordered the closure of the palace, and they still have a chance to leave."

Chongyi sank his heart, and replied: "Yes."

King Shou, in Meng Yan's impression, was a respected and kind old prince.He neither interferes in government affairs nor holds any official position. Could he be the one behind Chongli?
Meng Yan confirmed it again to Chongyi: "Are you sure you read it right?"

Chongyi said: "I have repeatedly confirmed that it is the Shouwang Mansion."

Meng Yan really couldn't figure it out, if King Shou was really manipulating it, then what exactly did he want to do?
***
The emperor was exhausted physically and mentally during this period, his hair became grayer, and his spirit was very haggard.

The emperor heard that King Shou had an important meeting with him, so he didn't want to see him, but he heard the news from Eunuch Huang that King Shou seemed to be in a hurry, and he brought a person, so he announced him into the palace.

The old prince was modest and prudent, and he never lost the courtesy he should have after entering the palace.

The emperor said wearily: "The emperor is free of courtesy. What is the matter that the emperor is so tired that he has to go there in person?"

King Shou said: "The old minister has discovered an old matter that has been buried in the dust for a long time. This matter is related to the government and state affairs, so we should not be negligent, so I came to ask the emperor for instructions."

Seeing his serious expression, the emperor couldn't help straightening his face, and asked, "What's the matter?"

King Shou said, "It's about King Wu of Yin."

The emperor has been suffering from headaches and worries about the death of King Yin Wu these days. Now when King Shou mentioned him, he couldn't help but tense up, and said: "Uncle, please tell me."
