Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 144 Layer by Layer Analysis
"I'm Shao Fujin from Prince Jane's Mansion. It's so strange to know your identity."

Ling Bo tried his best to calm down his emotions.

"Sichuan's corruption case is full of turmoil. The emperor ordered a strict investigation, and the fourth prince Yong is fully responsible for the case. You are the most important witness in this case, but you escaped on the way to Beijing. The imperial court issued a sea arrest document, and you are wanted nationwide , I didn’t expect you to be so bold that you dared to come to the city of Beijing at the foot of the emperor.”

Xu Zhao saw that Lingbo was clear and logical, and he was obviously not an ordinary woman and child with little knowledge, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Even if you know my identity and origin, it doesn't matter. Now you are a fish and I am a knife. If you are sensible, you should keep your mouth shut. You must know that it is wrong to say too much. Knowing too much is not a good thing for you." Good thing."

There is a famous saying that he who dies fastest is the one who knows the most.

Limbo was obviously taking a risk.

"I told you your identity, I didn't mean to threaten you. It's just that you arrested me, you must want to use me in exchange, whether it's your personal safety, or something else. I also know that my life is at stake. It's in your hands, but I have no conflict of interest with you, so I don't necessarily have to be an enemy."

Xu Zhao looked at her steadfastly and didn't speak.

It is of course rude for a man who has nothing to do with him to stare at a woman, but at this time, the nerves of both of them are tense, so there is no need to care about such etiquette.

"You are very smart."

Just when Ling Bo thought Xu Zhao ignored her words, Xu Zhao spoke.

"However, you are being smart."

Xu Zhao casually strangled the cloth on her mouth with such force that she almost thought her mouth was about to be torn apart.Quickly punching the back of her head, Xu Zhao made her shut up easily.

Ling Bo frowned angrily.

In fact, Xu Zhao was already being polite to her. After all, she was a pregnant woman, so she consciously took extra care in her movements.

After confirming that she could not shout or escape, Xu Zhao went out, and there was a clear sound of locking the door.

Apart from the ability to move his eyes, Ling Bo only has his own brain that can function.

She calmed down and thought about it. Although Xu Zhao didn't treat her well at all, he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him.This person does not seem to be a vicious person.

The whole room was empty, she couldn't move or speak, and her hands and feet were tied. After a long time, she felt sore and swollen. Because she kept the same posture for a long time, the blood was not flowing, and she could feel it. His wrist fingers were a little swollen.And because of the swollen wrist, the cloth strips that were originally tied were cut into the flesh, causing pain.

She tried to comfort herself, don't worry, don't be afraid, Bozhe and others will definitely come to rescue her, they must be actively thinking of a way.

I still have a small life in my stomach. I heard that the mood changes of pregnant women will have a bad impact on the fetus. For the sake of the child, I must calm down.

Under this subconscious self-hypnosis, Ling Bo actually fell asleep on the bed.

……

When Ling Bo was in trouble, the atmosphere in Prince Jane's Mansion was also very solemn.

Yaerjiang, Guo Jia, and Delong, who was able to walk slowly with the support of his servants, including Xilin Jueluo and An Zhuxian, were all sitting in the study.

Bo Zhe came in from the outside with a heavy face.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to him.

"What did the fourth elder brother say?" It was Yaerjiang who asked the question.

Bo Zhe rubbed his brows, and said: "Although the fourth elder brother has analyzed some things, but Xu Zhao's real purpose is still unknown."

He just went to Prince Yong's Mansion and discussed with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen all morning, analyzing the Sichuan corruption case layer by layer. The signs showed that it was all related to some bigwigs in Beijing, there were several powerful families, and a certain powerful elder brother.

As an important witness in this case, Xu Zhao has an account book in his hand, which records the time and amount of bribes given and accepted by the prefect of Sichuan. It can also serve as ironclad evidence for the conviction of those involved.

If it is said that Xu Zhao fled before being escorted to Beijing because he was afraid of death, then his sneaking into Beijing clearly does not fit this explanation.

From this, Yinzhen and Bo Zhe deduced that Xu Zhao's escape was not because he was afraid of being punished by the law and died, because according to the current investigation results, the number of bribes Xu Zhao received was not too large. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, at most it was A crime of demolition and exile.

Then, it can only be other reasons that prompt him to escape, and his escape is not purely for survival, but there are more important things waiting for him to do, and he has to go to Beijing to do this , that's why he entered Beijing secretly.

According to Yin Zhi and Bo Zhe's deduction, there are two possibilities, one is that someone wants to kill him, or use him as a scapegoat for others, this news is known by Xu Zhao, which will make him suffer more serious punishment than legal sanctions consequences, so he ran away.

Another possibility is that someone deliberately let him go in order to delay or even prevent the investigation of this case.Then after he escapes, there will definitely be people who will support him, and they will definitely find a way to excuse the Sichuan corruption case, conceal certain facts, and protect certain people.

Based on these two possibilities, it can be deduced that in the former case, he entered Beijing secretly, and he must have wanted to find the mastermind who wanted to kill him, maybe it was revenge, maybe he was struggling to survive, maybe he had a reason to be pinched In the hands of the other party, he had to come and get it.

In the latter case, he must have come to Beijing because he wanted to meet with someone in Beijing for further discussions.

If it was the latter case, there was no need for him to sneak into Fucha's house, because it would not do any good except increase his chances of being exposed.

After such an analysis, using the method of elimination, coupled with the various signs of the current investigation, Yinzhen and Bozhe can almost confirm that Xu Zhao's escape is a personal act, because he is the person who can influence the investigation results of this major corruption case. Wanted to kill him, so he ran away.

However, at this level of analysis, Yinzhen and Bo Zhe still couldn't understand why he sneaked into Fucha's house secretly after he entered Beijing.

The Fu Cha family had nothing to do with this case, so it could only be that among the guests who came to congratulate him that day, some had something to do with the Sichuan corruption case and Xu Zhao.

But who was it that caught Xu Zhao's attention and made him risk his life to sneak into Fucha's house to find this person?

And after he captured Ling Bo, what kind of deal did he want to use her for?
Yaerjiang said angrily: "After analyzing and analyzing, I still haven't analyzed anything. The admiral's office is also full of waste, and no one has been found so far."

Guo Jiashi wiped her tears and said: "Ling Bo is still pregnant, with such a big belly, what if something goes wrong!"

She sobbed and cried, making Bozhe even more restless while worrying.

Yaerjiang was even more upset when he heard that, he slammed the table and cursed: "Why are you crying, you know how to cry all day long, it's not too bad luck!"

Being scolded by him, Guo Jiashi was too frightened to cry anymore, but couldn't stop the tears for a while, so she could only twitch, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

Delong comforted her in a low voice, and then said to Yaerjiang: "When something like this happens to my brother and sister, I, a cripple, can't help much. I can only rely on my father and brother. Here, Er Niang, let me comfort you." , so as not to add trouble to you."

He took Guo Jiashi's hand, and the mother and son left the study together.

Xilin Jueluo and An Zhuxian couldn't help if they stayed, so they followed out together, and only Yaerjiang'a, Bozhe and his son were left in the room.

Yaerjiang walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, frowning deeply, and said: "Xu Zhao is taking a pregnant woman with him. The goal is too big. If he wants to leave the city, his whereabouts will definitely be exposed. In my opinion, they must still be there." In the city. It’s just that the nine admirals are all idiots. Beijing is a small city. I checked it three or four times, but I didn’t find a fart. Grandma’s, I told the emperor when I turned around, I couldn’t catch a thief How dare you guard the safety of Gyeonggi? Take off his top hat and let him go home to feed the pigs!"

He cursed and cursed, but Bozhe wanted to laugh, but he couldn't make a sound, as if thousands of claws were scratching his heart, he couldn't be calm for a moment.

He couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and said, "Ama, I'll go outside to find out the news. If they find someone, they can rescue Ling Bo as soon as possible."

Yarjan had no choice but to nod.

"If there is any news, report back as soon as possible."

Bo Zhe agreed and walked away.

Acton, who was clean and quick, was on standby at any time, and when he saw that he was going out, he immediately followed him closely.

The two of them went out of the gate of the palace, raised their whips, mounted their horses, and trotted away. As soon as they left the main street, they turned two streets and ran into Ma Wu who happened to be leading the team passing by.

Bo Zhe was a little surprised, went up to greet Ma Wu, and asked directly.

"Third brother, you just got married yesterday, why don't you stay at home with your sister-in-law."

Ma Wu controlled the mount under his crotch, and said: "Lingbo has an accident, how can I stay at home, Wuzhu and Lingbo are also very close, she is also very worried, and instead urges me to come out to find out the news."

While they were talking, they saw another pair of officers and soldiers rushing past a distant street.

The entire capital was searching for prisoners, and every pair of officers and soldiers held Xu Zhao's image of the prisoner in their hands, searching and comparing them door to door.

Xu Zhao was originally a fugitive fugitive. He was searched back and forth for N times because of the arrest documents, pictures and pictures. At this time, it is estimated that everyone in the capital knew him.

However, both Bo Zhe and Ma Wu were worried that since Xu Zhao was able to abduct Ling Bo from Fucha's house, it can be seen that this person has scheming, courage and means, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. able to find him.

The two of them were preparing to patrol separately when a small group of officers and soldiers rushed towards them.

One of the leading squad leaders hugged his arms and saluted, and quickly said: "Forehead, Lord Belle, there is news about Xu Zhao!"

"What?! Where is he?!"

Bo Zhe and Ma Wu were pleasantly surprised and spoke in unison.
