Chapter 797 Reviewable

Now her master wanted her to go find Huang Jing. This was not a problem at first, but it also made her realize that her master was suspecting Huang Jing.

Or rather, the master suspected that the deaths of the two witnesses were related to Lan Zhijin, who was both an enemy and a friend of Huang Jing.

"Whether I can help depends on whether she and Lan Zhijin have any contact in private." What Meng Shisan thought was almost the same as what Chang'an guessed.

Li Heng's wings were frequently broken and cut by Li Shou. Although he fought back, his strength was limited, so that the result of the counterattack was deviated. He was unwilling to admit defeat, at least he could not lose too badly on the center line.

Under this premise, there are three key points.

These two key points were the three fatal points that led to his complete defeat.

One is Zhu Xiye, one is Shi Que, and the other is two good citizens.

As long as he can solve these three fatal points, then even if he is defeated by the East Palace, he still has a trump card that is enough to make a comeback, and his trump card is their father.

My father could not tolerate fratricide, so over the years, even though he knew that what he did was a little inconsiderate, he turned a blind eye and protected him.

In this case, as long as he doesn't make too big a mistake and the mistake is not exposed blatantly, then his father can still help him cover it up, and can continue to be his trump card, becoming his spear and shield.

It is both a spear stabbing the prince and a shield defending against the prince.

There were three fatal points, and he had already eliminated the last one.

The two living witnesses who could point out that he was the mastermind behind the collapse of the lantern mountain at Bixu Manor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which led to the loss of dozens of innocent lives, have now become two corpses that cannot speak.

Now, there are two left.

"Tell Master Lan that I am very satisfied with the result. Go to the inn and give him double the reward." Li Heng instructed Mi Yan, who was in charge of contacting Lan Zhijin, "Then ask him if he has a magic to take someone's life from a distance. If so, and he agrees to help, give him ten times the reward."

Mi Yan agreed.

Shi Mo felt that Lan Zhijin's magic was unreliable: "Last time, Master Lan was unable to find out anything specific about the strange bodies in the private residence. He only said that there was something abnormal, but he couldn't tell what the abnormality was. If Your Highness asks him for help now, I'm afraid he will still be half-hearted."

Although Pei Yan did not agree, he agreed in his heart.

"The fact that we were able to find the hiding place of the two good people using only the tracking technique is enough to prove that Master Lan's technique is useful, but..." Li Heng thought of what Pei Yan had reported earlier. After performing the ritual and examining the bodies, Lan Zhijin saw Huang Jing, a person Lan Zhijin knew well, as well as the carriage of the Meng residence, Meng Shisan's maid, and Li Yaoshen outside his private residence. "We didn't find anything specific last time. It's very likely that something went wrong."

Hearing this, Mi Yan immediately asked, "Your Highness, do you think that Master Lan concealed the abnormality when he examined the corpses last time?"

Shi Mo also reacted: "Your Highness, do you think that Master Lan didn't say anything because of the Taoist Master Huang that he met in the middle? The maid of Miss Meng's house? Or the prince of Jing?"

Li Heng didn't deny or confirm: "Pei Yan, go ask Master Lan if there is still a possibility of a deal, and Shi Mo, go find out the relationship between Master Huang and Miss Meng."

Fei Yan: "Yes." Shi Mo: "Yes."

Cui Yu learned the news that two innocent people had been silenced when Meng Shisan asked Chang'an to go to Quexian Tower in person to inform him.

He was very happy to see Chang'an, so happy that he even ignored the situation in front of him. He wanted to ask Chang'an in person when the person he loved the most would be able to set foot in the capital.

However, seeing Chang'an frowning and looking impatient, he still held back.

Well, wait until the patriarchs of the three major families in Lingnan arrive in Beijing and complete the transaction with Miss Meng. He can also ask Chang'an three questions in person.

At that time, Chang'an would not have such an attitude, and would not refuse to answer his questions about his sweetheart.

"Miss Meng asked you to come and tell me, what does she want me to do?" Cui Yu was very clear-headed. He didn't think that Meng Shisan specially asked Chang'an to come to him just to tell him.

If this is true, normally, since Baozhu is currently recuperating from his injuries, he would only randomly send one of the Four Jades instead of Changan himself.

"The young lady said that we all know who caused the collapse of the lantern mountain, and we all know why." Everyone knows that the mastermind behind the incident is Li Heng, and that he created the incident that caused the tragic deaths of dozens of innocent people in order to force Cui Yu to join the Second Prince's camp. "The two good people who managed to save their lives have been killed in the protection circle. All the living evidence is lost. Although the physical evidence is still there, it is not enough to deter others."

Cui Yu continued, "So your lady wants me to find another living witness?"

Before Changan could answer, he shook his head: "Impossible."

"It is true that none of the people who were under the mountain of lights on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival are alive, but they have families." Chang'an was not in a hurry. She waited for Cui Yu to shake his head and deny it before she slowly told him the key points that Meng Shisan asked her to relay.

"As soon as the incident happened, I had people start looking for the victims' families, all of them." Cui Yu emphasized the families of all the victims at the end, "but without exception, some were alone, some did not live in the capital, and some lived in nearby counties, but they were also deserted. There were a few victims whose families were originally in the city, but they left the capital long before they were killed for various reasons, and their whereabouts are unknown."

What he said had already been explained to Meng Shisan.

"These seven young masters have told my young lady, and she has also told me about it." Chang An did not refute, but went along with it, "To be honest, when the young lady handed this matter over to me for a thorough investigation, I also reviewed it."

When she said recheck, it didn't mean that she didn't believe Cui Yu's earlier results, but that she needed to repeat them again to see if there were any mistakes or omissions. It could also be said that she needed to see if there were any clues to break the deadlock.

After hearing that Chang'an had been re-examined, Cui Yu lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the hot fragrant tea, then raised his eyes and asked directly: "So did you find a fish that slipped through the net during the re-examination?"

"Miss, what you mean is that the victims in such a situation are probably not completely innocent. There may be some who are willing to die for money, or some who only know that there is danger but don't know that a hit will send them to hell." Chang An broke down Meng Shisan's original words to her and told Cui Yu word for word, "Miss said that the Seventh Young Master only needs to find out the family members who are 'or'."

Even so, it is still a difficult problem.

Cui Yu frowned and said, "If we can't find the person, no matter how much we speculate, it's just a bunch of nonsense."

Changan said nothing more, took out a piece of rice paper that was cut in half, and handed it to Cui Yu: "Seventh Master, you can track down this person."
