Chapter 128 The Building Tilts (6)

Fu Guan saw the food box being pushed to the table, reached out to touch it, and the bowl of bird's nest inside was already completely cold.

He stirred with a porcelain white spoon for half a week, and answered irrelevant questions: "If you want to pretend to be a virtuous princess, you should at least bring a bowl of hot soup. Who can't see that you are perfunctory when you bring this bowl of cold food?"

This is just a superficial effort, Lou Xiyue doesn't care if outsiders see it as perfunctory.

"So what? They don't know whether the soup is hot or cold—does it matter?"

It's just an excuse to meet Fu Guan alone, Lou Xiyue doesn't care whether the bird's nest is edible or not.

Fu Guan glanced at her unhurriedly, and said, "It's not important. Anyway, it's my supper tonight. I can't eat it when it's cold. Let someone reheat it before bringing it."

Lou Xiyue: "..." She scolded the other party secretly in her heart, and then said: "I'm asking you something important, so don't bother to talk about him. The accident that happened at the princess mansion today, is it an accident?"

She looked at him questioningly: "Could it be that you and Yin Wang Xiang Feng worked together?"

If this is the case, then Fu Guan has Xiang Feng as an ally, so does she need to coordinate and assist in it?If this is the case, then Fu Guan still needs to cooperate with her?
Lou Xiyue didn't think that compared with Xiang Feng, she would be more valuable to cooperate with.

After all, Xiang Feng is the man who can speak in court.In all fairness, if she were to change places, she would choose Xiang Feng instead of another quack girl who had no roots in the capital.

Facing Lou Xiyue's questioning, Fu Guan did not show any abnormal reaction.He just raised his eyes indifferently, and then said: "I didn't join hands with him, and I was also very surprised by what happened in the princess mansion today."

Lou Xiyue sat facing him across a table.She looked at the other person's expression, and replied with a raised word sound in an unclear way: "Oh?"

Fu Guan: "Today, Dali Temple was ordered to raid Yan's mansion, and I was among the officials appointed. When the birthday banquet at the princess' mansion began, we searched for key documents in Mr. Yan's study and General Yan's living courtyard. exhibit.

"Those evidences are the details of the stolen money and the accounts between the major officials in the corruption case of the prefect of Pingjiang."

Lou Xiyue said: "So according to this ledger, we found out Princess An Ning and the son-in-law?"

"That's right." Fu Guan said, "I reported this matter to the Holy Majesty, and then the palace issued an order to capture the princess and the son-in-law for interrogation."

And when he was going to the princess mansion, he heard about the mob rebellion.

"King Yin was the first to get the news, cut it first and played it later, and sent someone to the palace to ask the emperor to make a ruling, and I brought another imperial decree to the Princess Mansion to meet King Yin." Fu Guan said:

"Your Majesty intentionally prevents me from getting in touch with the princess and the son-in-law, and entrusts King Yin to arrest them. As for me, I will cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment and the people from Dali Temple to loot the princess' mansion together."

After finishing speaking, Fu Guan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said: "This is what I know. What about you? You went to the princess's mansion for a banquet, and you expected to know everything that happened at the birthday banquet very well. During the banquet Did you find anything?"

Lou Xiyue nodded: "There are indeed some clues, but not many."

Then, she told the people and things she met at the birthday banquet one by one, including the conversation between Mrs. Chu and her, and what she said to the princess and son-in-law alone after Prince Yin appeared.

Lou Xiyue: "It's a pity that the timing was wrong, I didn't listen to their complete conversation. I think, after the guests were all gone, the truth about the mob rebellion must have been discussed between King Yin, the princess, and the son-in-law."

After listening to Lou Xiyue's words, Fu Guan bowed his head and pondered for a long time.After a while, he took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

Lou Xiyue saw that he wrote ink on the white paper, it was the names of Xiang Feng, Mrs. Chu, and Princess Anning and others.

He said: "According to what you said so far, it can be confirmed that the accident at the birthday banquet was a 'trap' planned by someone with a heart. This is a 'killing game' against Princess Anning and her son-in-law."

Lou Xiyue analyzed: "Princess An Ning was led away by servants for the first time because the adultery between the concubine and the maid was exposed. But the appearance of the second servant deliberately led us to the scene of the adultery."

She then picked up another pen and drew a circle next to the consort's name: "Even the timing of that maid's appearance is very suspicious——

"Even if she was caught and raped on the bed, why did she run out without any clothes on? And she ran towards the gate in the east. Isn't this intentional to attract attention? Besides——"

Lou Xiyue tapped on Mrs. Chu's name with her fingertips: "Mrs. Chu didn't even see the person clearly, so she arrested the maidservant, and after a long interrogation, the cooking was clear, as if she had expected it long ago.

"These piles are connected together, which is a series of tricks."

Fu Guan went on to infer: "According to this, it can be inferred that the adultery between the maidservant and the concubine was also in the planner's plan. The planner used the complicated relationship between the princess, the concubine and the maidservant to lure everyone to the lotus pond.

"And the lotus pond is the place with the heaviest humidity in the princess mansion, surrounded by water, the stage and pavilions are all built with solid stone, and the outer wall is a thick stone wall that is difficult to burn in a fire.

"If there is running water, then the lotus pond is the best place to resist the fire." Fu Guan said: "If everyone is led here, the greatest casualties will naturally be avoided."

Lou Xiyue: "In this way, we can not implicate the wives and young ladies in the court, but also expose the scandal of the princess and the son-in-law. It really kills two birds with one stone."

It's just that she couldn't figure it out: "With the investigation of Yan's mansion, Princess An Ning will fall from her horse sooner or later. Is it necessary for the designer to make another move and let the mob make trouble at the princess' birthday banquet?"

Not to mention whether the princess and son-in-law can be thoroughly investigated by the emperor, but the risks brought by this move are too high.If there is a little carelessness, it will cause casualties.

Those who attended the banquet were all famous nobles in the capital, and it would be hard to explain if anyone was injured.

"What you think is also my doubt." Fu Guan said: "But regarding this doubt, I have asked Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi to investigate. I believe there will be clues soon."

Lou Xiyue said: "You don't need to look for clues elsewhere, you just need to attack King Yin."

She had an intuition that today's matter probably has something to do with Mrs. Chu and King Yin.

Fu Guan: "I know that." As soon as he finished speaking, two hurried footsteps came from the courtyard outside the study, and then Xuan Yi's voice came in:

"Grandpa, we're back!"

Fu Guan let them in, and afterward, Xuan Yi and Xuan Miao pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing Lou Xiyue in the room, the two brothers were no longer surprised, and they didn't even shy away from it. Xuan Miao said in front of her:
"My lord, you're right. Lord Yin does have contacts with those gamblers."

Xuan Miao quickly said: "That's right. We specifically asked the people around, and I heard that a young man next to Prince Yin often went to those gamblers and their families recently, and gave a lot of money as subsidies. "

Lou Xiyue looked confused: "Gambler? What gambler?"
