Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 265
Lin Shuqi hurried out of the General Administration Department, looked left and right, saw the second brother's carriage parked by the road, Lin Shuqi frowned, and walked towards the carriage.

Now when Lin Shuqi heard that his family was looking for him, he couldn't help being frightened, afraid that something bad would happen.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Shuqi asked, "Second Brother, what do you want from me?"

Lin Zhongkun asked the coachman to get off the car and go a little further, before he said, "Third Brother, Second Brother would like to ask you for a favor."

In the past, Lin Shuqi would definitely say...just say what you want.But now he had to figure out what it was.

Lin Zhongkun dragged out a box from under the seat.

"Here are some furnishings in my room. Now I'm short of money and want to sell it."

Lin Shuqi breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't ask him to borrow money.

He really has no money.

He didn't dare to ask the second brother why he was so tight, the less he knew about the second room, the better.

"Second brother, then you can just sell it and don't need to discuss it with me." Anyway, it's not his stuff.

"Third brother, I would like to ask you to help me sell them. First, you are good at antiques, so you won't be fooled; second, you know that I have just been demoted. I was demoted because of corruption." Lin Zhongkun said with a bitter face.

Lin Shuqi was right when he thought about it, the second brother really shouldn't show his face now.

"Okay, I'll sell it for you, but I can't guarantee the price."

"It's okay, try to sell as much as you can, and sell as soon as possible. If you can't, there is nothing you can do." Lin Zhongkun is thankful as long as he can sell.

"Save the money for me first, and I'll ask you to get it when I need it."

"Aren't you short of money?" Why let him save it first?

Lin Zhongkun said: "I want to leave the Ministry of Rites and ask someone to pay attention to where there are vacancies. I will use the money when there is news over there. The news may come at any time. I have to prepare first, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the money if I put it in my hand." go elsewhere."

This explanation is very reasonable. The second brother had hoped to be promoted to Shangshu, but because of a wrong step, he was not promoted but resigned. I am afraid that everyone in the Ministry of Rites is watching the second brother's jokes. The second brother can't stay in the Ministry of Rites any longer.

So Lin Shuqi agreed.

Lin Shuqi went to several antique stores, Yushizhai, and sold his things smoothly, and got 10,000+ taels of silver, all of which were deposited in Xinlong Yinzhuang.

What Lin Shuqi didn't know was that as soon as he got rid of the things with his front feet, someone took them all away with his back feet.

Xiao Qian and Lu Zhaonan were discussing matters in the government office.

There is news about what was asked by King Pingnan earlier.Only the saintesses in Miaojiang can know the heart-eating gu, and they have to feed the poisonous insects with the blood of the saints for three years before they can develop a heart-eating gu.The Miaojiang Saintess had been in seclusion in Tianbao's second year, and it was said that she was studying a more powerful Gu, and she did not leave the seclusion until the end of Tianbao's third year.

"That's right, the one who gave Lu Yongqing the heart-eating Gu must be the saint." Xiao Qian said firmly, Tianbao came to the capital for retreat in the middle of two years, and then Tianbao returned to Miaojiang to leave the customs at the end of three years, and the time was right.

Lu Zhaonan said: "I still can't figure it out, why did they choose to attack the queen?"

The queen did not invite them to provoke them, and the death of the queen has no effect on the situation in Miao Jiang, so it is better to directly attack the emperor. Of course, he dare not say this.

Xiao Qian pondered and said: "The saintess of Miao Jiang came to Beijing, she was able to find Lu Yongqing so quickly, she came up with such a thorough plan, and she was able to escape afterwards, but Doctor Tao became a scapegoat instead. It can be seen that she did not rely on her alone. It can be done with strength. There is someone to help her in the capital, and the person who helps her must be familiar with the situation of the various ministries in the palace and have the ability to overthrow the cloud. It is even possible that the whole plan was designed by this person, and the saint is just him. Or a pawn in her hand."

Lu Zhaonan was deeply convinced: "What you said makes sense, who could this person be?"

Xiao Qian frowned and looked at the tall and straight cypress tree outside the window, yes, who could this person be?
Suddenly, both of them seemed to think of something and looked at each other.

Lu Zhaonan excitedly said: "Don't talk about it, you and I will write it out separately and see if we think of going together."

Lu Zhaonan took a pen and paper and wrote his name.

Xiao Qian also wrote down his name before returning to the case.

The two unfolded at the same time, and then smiled knowingly.

Xiao Qian asked curiously, "Why do you think it's her?"

Lu Zhaonan said: "A while ago, didn't you ask me how the son-in-law of Princess Xinyang, General Yan Huayan, died? I wrote to ask my father, and my father said in his reply that General Yan got into a valley by mistake. To say that Dasheng was capable of plotting to murder the empress, and the only person who could have such a relationship with Miao Jiang, is Princess Xinyang. Of course, my inference is a bit far-fetched, why do you think it is her?"

Xiao Qian hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a wry smile: "Your inference is really far-fetched. In fact, Yan Hua was going to participate in a conspiracy, so the emperor transferred him away from Beijing, and went to Miaojiang with Dingbeihou to cooperate. Your father and king conquered Miao territory together, but Yan Hua died in battle."

"The treason case? Are you referring to the matter of Uncle Seven?" Lu Zhaonan was surprised.

Xiao Qian nodded: "Seventh Emperor Uncle claimed to have the last decree given to him by my imperial grandfather. This matter has passed, so I won't talk about it. Do you still remember what she looked like when we first met Yan Yan? "

Lu Zhaonan scratched his head: "Of course I remember, if I hadn't seen Tan Yun, I wouldn't have believed it was Lin Yanyan."

"In fact, she was poisoned. It is a colorless and odorless chronic poison that will make people gain weight continuously, erode the internal organs, and eventually lead to heart failure and death."

Lu Zhaonan stared in shock.

It turned out that the strange disease that everyone said was poisonous.

"You also know the cause of Liushangge Bihan's death. It is another strange poison, and this poison was also found in Lin Yanyan's second aunt Yao."

He knew about Bihan's poisoning, but Lin Yanyan's second aunt also died of poisoning, Lu Zhaonan didn't know about it, and Lu Zhaonan was shocked again.

Xiao Qian continued: "After Yao's funeral, Yanyan went back to Tongyuan Building, and a beggar came to her. This beggar is now Lin Yanyan's brother-in-law, Meng Ziyi. Mencius was entrusted by others, and he It was Mrs. Yao who brought the message to Yan Yan. Mrs. Yao said that she had gone to Princess Xinyang's mansion. If she didn't come back to him after three days, she would ask him to bring the message to Yan Yan. Mrs. Yao also told Meng Ziyi that Yan Yan used to be a fat man .”

Lu Zhaonan said: "I see, Yao Shi wanted to tell Lin Yanyan that the poison Lin Yanyan was poisoned was also caused by Princess Xinyang. So... Yao Shi was also killed by Princess Xinyang?"

Xiao Qian nodded.

"Then why do you say Yao died of illness?"

"Because there is no evidence, ask a beggar to testify that Mrs. Yao has been to Princess Xinyang's mansion? Who would believe it? What can we do if Princess Xinyang doesn't admit it? Besides, the Lin family doesn't want to cause a murder case, so this matter will be over." Of."
