All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 108 Grandpa, it's not good!
Because Eunuch Chang confessed to all the crimes in Beiya, the marriage between the eldest princess and Cui Jin happened 14 years ago when old Duke Wei was still alive.

No matter how much the eldest princess hated the original marriage, she could only hate her grandfather, and couldn't blame the current Duke of Wei, Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong originally planned to get through this period by pretending to be crazy and foolish.

Of course, it would be great if he could provoke the emperor grandson and lead him to attack him during this process.

In this way, Zhao Dong can go to the emperor and cry and beg, and win the emperor's mercy by selling miserably.

After all, his sister is a great hero who gave birth to the only prince for the emperor, and their Zhao family is also one of the few forces in the court that can compete with the Dou family.

The emperor will not allow the Dou family to dominate, and he will not easily allow others to attack the Zhao family.

When the Beiya can't find any big evidence, the Zhao family will be able to extract themselves from these things without any risk.

But Zhao Dong never thought of it, and he specially thought of a way to deal with the emperor's grandson, but a little girl stirred up the situation of luring the wolf into the house.

Overnight, Chu Yan not only ordered the embroidered clothes envoy to arrest all the alchemists raised in Duke Wei's mansion and take them to the Beiya for interrogation.

Shen Lingxi was also asked to take the kundaos of the Golden Immortal Temple to perform the highest-standard exorcism in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Zhao Dong has a romantic nature, since the old Duke of Wei passed away, he has successively accepted more than a dozen concubines in these years.

He is a vicious and cunning person, and the Duke's wife is soft and uninitiated, so one can imagine what will happen in the back house.

Shen Lingxi just took the nephews of Jinxianguan, and in the name of doing things, went around the back house of the Duke's mansion, and found several life lawsuits.

So, Zhao Dong wanted to wait for Shen Lingxi to toss about for two days, so he returned Chu Yan's words that the alchemists he raised were "bluffing and deceiving", and humiliated them again.

I didn't expect-
"Grandpa, it's bad! The body of Zheng'er in Aunt Liu's room was dug out of the flower mud by Taoist Master Miao Ling!"

"Grandpa, it's bad! Aunt Xing found red flowers from Aunt Wang's room. Daoist Miaoling said that Aunt Wang killed the fetus in her womb at the beginning of the year."

"Grandpa, it's not good! Daoist Miaoling said that Aunt Cui forced Aunt Zhao to death, and the eldest lady found Aunt Zhao's jade pendant from Aunt Cui's cage..."

"My lord, it's bad! Taoist Master Miaoling asked someone to dig out a skeleton from the well in the outer courtyard. It seems to be Zhao Wu who has been missing for many years..."

Hearing these words, Zhao Dong was startled, wrapped in a quilt on the bed, trembling, and asked one after another:

"really?"

"really?!"

"really!??"

"She...she really has such a spirit?"

"It can't be that those aunts colluded with her to play tricks on purpose!"

Little servant: "Then how can it be, this is a case of life and death, and the embroiderer even directly took people away."

The little servant was afraid that Wei Guogong would not believe him, so he lowered his voice, "This Taoist Master Miaoling of Jinxian Temple is not an ordinary person. You don't know, she is well-known in the capital. She was still in Xuanpinghou before. The mansion has dug up the corpse. She will also bury the corpse for others. The villain heard that the Yuzhu that was smashed to pieces in the ice cellar of the East Palace was sewn by her!"

When Zhao Dong heard the word "Yatzhu", his pupils trembled.

He thought of what Shen Lingxi said that day while pointing at his feet, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

"You...you go to Feige to send a letter to Zhang Xianzhang in Taiyi Mountain, and tell him to come to Beijing quickly, hurry up!" Zhao Dong urged.

*
Heming Tower, private room on the second floor.

Shen Lingxi ordered a table full of dishes, and offered them to King An and Yuzhu with both hands.

As for Chu Yan, because of the evil spirit on his body, he could only lean against the window facing the street on the other side, and his cold eyes fell on Shen Lingxi.

Today, at the request of Chu Yan, Shen Lingxi brought King An and Yuzhu to the Heming Tower to "meet" him.

Under Chu Yan's behest, Shen Lingxi looked at King An, who was full of worries, and asked in a low voice, "That day, you also saw it at Duke Wei's mansion, and the alchemists around Zhao Dong were all swindlers. , would you like to tell us what exactly Zhao Dong told you back then that made you willingly give up your life?"

The young man pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, I can't tell you. Those alchemists are not immortal leaders, so it is understandable that they are not as powerful as yours. But if the immortal leader came in person, the result would be different gone."

Shen Lingxi's brows moved slightly, "The fairy head you are talking about is the so-called fairy head Zhang that Zhao Dong asked people to pick up at Mount Taiyi?"

An Wang hesitated and nodded.

"Don't say that about the elder fairy, he is a man of real ability, very powerful." Mentioning the old man, the young man had a look of awe in his eyes, "Even the father, who never believes in ghosts and gods, will listen to his words, It can be seen how profound his Taoism is. Moreover, Zhang Xianchang can summon ghosts, and it is also because of him that I was able to meet my mother and concubine before I was alive."

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes raised slightly, and a few traces of surprise flashed in her eyes.

These days, she dug up several murder cases in Duke Wei's mansion at one go, and she originally wanted to "pay back the body in the same way".

Since Zhao Dong wants to pretend to be crazy and foolish under the pretense of being "infested with evil spirits".

Then she would convince him that there was something evil haunting her, and then in the name of the dead, she would trick him into making him mess up and confess about Yuzhu and King An.

Things went well at first, but unexpectedly, although Zhao Dong believed that she could understand ghosts and gods, he was frightened, instead of telling the truth, he ordered someone to repair the book and invite an old Taoist to Mount Taiyi.

But at this moment, from Wang An's mouth, I heard the old man's "powerful".

Shen Lingxi felt that the whole thing was getting more and more interesting.

Yu Zhu at the side frowned imperceptibly when she heard Wang An's words.

He suddenly asked: "His Royal Highness An, you said just now that the old way can attract the soul of Concubine Lian, but two years ago, when he was doing the dojo in Duke Wei's mansion?"

"Exactly." Wang An looked at him curiously, "How do you know this?"

Yu Zhu was thoughtful, "That day the concubine learned that he was working as a dojo in Duke Wei's mansion, so she wrote some scriptures and asked me to go out of the palace to take them to the dojo and burn them for her ancestors. The boy suddenly had a stomachache, so I went to the Jinxiu Pavilion where the dojo is, and happened to see the old Taoist talking to you through an embroidered screen."

King An's eyes showed doubts.

"Impossible, did you remember wrongly?" The young man looked puzzled, and asked with a puzzled expression: "The person behind the screen talking to me was clearly the ghost of my mother and concubine, how could it be him?"

Yuzhu suddenly closed her eyes.

As if he suddenly understood something, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"I didn't want to understand why I was in the Jade Sandalwood Palace without contending with the world, but I suffered such an unreasonable disaster."

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Lingxi, "I thought it was Concubine Cui who was jealous of the Eldest Princess and regarded me as Liang Qing, so he would do this to me. I didn't want to pursue it because of the Eldest Princess' kindness. Unexpectedly, There was another reason."

"I think, I finally know why they have to kill me..."
