Mu Huagui

Chapter 70 The Will
"Later, after spending a few coppers, I asked the little dolls in the village to go around the area. They said that there was no sound at all, and the gate was closed. The little one thought something must have happened. He was afraid that someone would guard him, so he didn't dare to go in."

Chen Desheng let go of the butler, thought about it calmly, and said, "Don't go to that Zhuangzi again. Whoever owns the house deed will deal with it. Open the warehouse and find a safe place to hide the contents of that box."

"Yes." The butler obviously knew which box the master was referring to, and hurriedly responded.

Zhou Mingyuan checked Lin Da's statement again and again, and went to the palace alone to face the saint.

"According to what you said, Chen Desheng was indeed responsible for the murder." In addition to being angry, Emperor Tianqi was more puzzled. A side fortune.

"Of course it can't be for money. According to Lin Da and Li Dafeng's confessions, although they don't know what Chen Desheng is looking for, my younger brother thinks that it must be something related to the royal family. Your Majesty might as well think about it."

"Why do you say that?" Emperor Tianqi had just heard about the case, so he was naturally not as familiar with it as Zhou Mingyuan. Seeing what he said, he asked strangely.

"Under Chen Desheng's order, Li Dafeng took the letter to find Lin Da, killed the prostitute daughter of the Lin family, and handed over all the money and property to him. Cannot be destroyed."

"These calligraphy and paintings are not particularly rare things. They may be worth a sigh in the eyes of ordinary people, but I believe that they are nothing to Chen Desheng. Chen Junyu used to be a candidate for a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, mainly engaged in writing. Literature and history, I heard that the knowledge is very good, and I was summoned by the late emperor."

"So what." The emperor was even more baffled when he heard that, there was nothing to do with it.

"The three members of the Chen family, Ding Youhou, all passed away one by one due to accidents. The only child was sent to the capital instead of being raised by his relatives. This made me feel that there must be some necessary connection between them, so I made a bold guess. Could it be that Chen Desheng was instigated by someone to look for something."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Mingyuan didn't speak anymore, he had finished what he needed to say, and if it wasn't for the emperor's own words, he wouldn't have dared to speculate like this.

Emperor Tianqi stood up with a "huh", with a pleasant surprise on his face, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is a good job. Check, we must investigate deeply and find that thing."

When the first emperor passed away, he was just a child. His biological mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him. After his brothers all died of illness, he was taken into the Queen's Palace to be raised for a short year.

During this year, the empress was worried about the late emperor's illness and sad about the death of her own son, so she didn't have the energy to take care of the only prince.Only at the last moment of his life, it was revealed that the late emperor deliberately left a will in order to fear that his ministers would become powerful.It is said that when the emperor grows old, someone will naturally send it to him with a will.

It's a pity that after so many years, there is no shadow of Yizhao.Emperor Tianqi has been secretly investigating for many years, but there is still no result.If King Xianjun really had an insider buried in the palace and found out about this matter, he would definitely try his best to find this will in advance and destroy it.

Zhou Mingyuan thought of this matter early in the morning, but suffered from lack of evidence.After getting Lin Da's confession and comparing it again, I feel that there are many doubts.

With the emperor's oral order to act cheaply, Zhou Mingyuan's steps became much lighter.

The next step is to find a breakthrough from Chen Desheng. The secret guards are watching every move of the Chen residence closely day and night.In the Chen Mansion, the old man was losing his temper, "I said that the things in this box cannot be moved. You are deaf. If you don't give away so many things in the house, you have to pick out the things in this box. Send them back and send them away." , without even saying hello, do you still take me, the head of the family, seriously?"

"It's just a painting, and it was sent to the palace for the empress. To bless the empress to give birth to a prince is no better than what you did there. If it wasn't because of you, my daughter would have been promoted to the concubine by now." Willing to show weakness.

Since her daughter entered the palace, she has put all her thoughts into it, and all kinds of supplements and folk remedies have been sent into the palace like flowing water.I only hope that my daughter will give birth to a prince soon and be promoted to the rank of concubine.The queen's candidate has been decided and she will be married in a few days. Only by giving birth to a prince before the queen enters the palace can the position be stabilized.

This picture of Avalokitesvara delivering a child is vividly drawn, with a gentle expression and rain dew spreading all over the world, which is very suitable for the scene.When the lady was renovating the warehouse, she thought of sending this picture to her daughter. As long as the daughter could give birth to the emperor, let alone a painting, she would not even blink if she sold the Chen family.

"You, you..." Chen Desheng resented a few times, and counted the things in the box one by one. Except for a painting, everything else was there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring Madam's hysteria, I handed the box to the butler, and asked him to send it to a private house in the city for safekeeping.

The things inside, the books and picture scrolls were all read by him several times.I also specially invited a framer to look at it, and I know that these paintings do not have interlayers.

The housekeeper put the things away and sealed them, and personally delivered them to the private house where the twin sisters Hua lived.

This pair of sisters, the elder sister is called Lian Xing, and the younger sister is called Lian Yue, they are very delicate and lovely.When they saw the butler, they thought the master was behind them, so they stretched their necks one by one.

Knowing that the master didn't come, the younger sister pouted and went back to the house, while the older sister blessed the housekeeper and accepted the monthly payment from the housekeeper.The butler hid the things, said a few words and left quickly.

The sisters turned off the lights early, and the dark guard sneaked in to find the box and carried it out.Holding the box in his hands, Zhou Mingyuan thought that Chen Desheng should be on guard against the king of Xianjun, otherwise it would be difficult for the hidden guards to go in and search for things once the box was sent to the mansion of the king of Xianjun.

Comparing with Lin Da's confession one by one, except for some jewelry and books and picture scrolls, other house deeds are missing, which should have been secretly disposed of by Chen Desheng.One painting was missing. Zhou Mingyuan tapped on the desk with one finger. Lin Da obviously didn't know much. How could he pry Chen Desheng's mouth open.

After Chen Desheng waited for the butler to report back, he rested in peace.

Zhou Mingyuan originally planned to directly interrogate Chen Desheng, but because of the possible will, he was afraid of making trouble, so he delayed the case.

Chen Jiao'er waited for a few days before Zhou Mingyuan took the time to rush over.

"My son goes to the palace every day recently, does he have more important things to do?" Chen Jiao'er couldn't help worrying, no one knew what would happen if he changed people at this time.

She thought that if Li Dafeng brought the evidence to sue the government, Lin Da would definitely be punished due to the presence of personal and material evidence.If it goes well, if Chen Desheng is caught, it will be a surprise to ruin his official reputation even at once.

But in the past few days, when Mr. Huang came to visit, she hesitated to speak, and she realized how naive she was.Even an outsider would have guessed that he did it himself, let alone the Chen family.When this matter is over, who knows what will happen to me, a girl who hits a stone with a pebble.

"Why, don't worry, don't worry, I will never break my promise." Zhou Mingyuan looked at her reddish face, lowered his head as if he had done something wrong, and his pink lips were plump. The mouth is slightly tilted, so that people can't help but want to take a bite.

"No, that's not what it means. Jiao'er thinks, if it hurts you, I'll feel very sorry."

"Lianli, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to ask you a few words." Zhou Mingyuan looked at her, as if he couldn't get enough of her.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jiao'er was a little flustered, but also a little expectant.

"What are you thinking about? It's about the case." Looking at the shy and timid face of the other party, Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but want to tease her.

"You..." Chen Jiao'er bit her lower lip, and glared at him resentfully, but she didn't know that her winking eyes were as silky as silk, and had no lethal power at all.

"Cough cough" Zhou Mingyuan coughed to hide his little pride, and asked, "I want to know what kind of relationship you have with that Miss Chen. It stands to reason that you have never met, and the two families have no friendship at all." Why did you stand up for her and intervene in this matter?"

When Chen Jiao'er asked Li Dafeng to report to the official, she thought about asking this question, and of course she couldn't use the dreaming to fool the official.Standing up and going to his dressing table, he took out a letter, "I found this together with the prescription when I was looking for it. My son might as well read it."

Zhou Mingyuan took it in doubt. What he asked was the dead Miss Chen, why did he have something to do with his family.Unfolding the letter paper, what caught the eye was bright red.

"Blood book." Zhou Mingyuan frowned, looked at it, his face turned bluer and greener, and finally he slapped the table and stood up and said angrily, "It's unreasonable, it's too deceitful."

The whirlwind took the blood book and returned to the yamen, his livid face made Zhu Sheng, who was waiting on the side, tremble with fear.

Turning back and forth in the study like a trapped animal, Zhusheng started to feel dizzy after only a few glances.I thought to myself what's the matter, it's not that I have been getting along with Ms. Chen recently, so it's no wonder they're having trouble again.

"Do you still remember Chunye?" Zhou Mingyuan asked suddenly.

"Of course I remember." Zhu Sheng was stunned for a moment, maybe he had an awkward fight with Ms. Chen, but he thought of Chun Ye.But today is neither her birthday nor her death.How could the prince be so furious, Zhu Sheng didn't want to understand.

Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath, "She is the Miss Chen family who we thought was dead."

Zhusheng's brain went blank, and it took a long time for it to start functioning. After a long time, he said, "Sister Chunye jumped into the well because, because..."

"Yes, I blamed her wrongly." Back then, Lin Zhicong came to him with Chunye's hairpin to propose marriage, and he felt unhappy when he thought of the maids around him who were giving and receiving privately.While agreeing to come down, he also drove her out of his yard and never saw her again.

Unexpectedly, Chunye jumped into the well and died. After her death, Zhou Mingyuan felt blocked.I also thought about whether there was something hidden, but the girl didn't leave anything, not a word.This matter was left alone, and Chunye became a taboo name in the Shiziyuan.
