In the teahouse opposite Zuihuayin, in the private room on the second floor, Meilin and County Lord Jili were sitting by the window.
They saw Li Fanling and the Ji sisters walking into the restaurant with their own eyes.
Later, it was Guan Jingqiu's master and servant.
Then, less than half an hour later, I saw a tall and powerful man walking out of the restaurant.
Qi Li looked at Mei Lin contentedly and confidently and asked,
"This man is the Liao Rong Regent you mentioned? He looks very ordinary!"
Mei Lin shook her head, slowly put down the tea cup and said,
"He is not the regent of Liao Rong. How could the regent come to such a place to do such a thing? This is the prince of Liao Rong, and now the younger brother of King Liao Rong Khan is Die Ci Yuan Guang."
Hearing this, the Lord of Qili County stood up with an awkward look on his face, his eyebrows raised and an angry look on his face.
"Hong Meilin! You lied to me! Didn't you say that you wanted to bring Dieci Cangshu and Ji Min together? What's going on with this Dieci Yuangguang who's here now? What's the use of letting him come? He's just an idiot What a prince! Does he still want to take advantage of our noble lady? Bah! He deserves it too!"
Mei Lin saw the puzzled and extremely angry look on the face of County Lord Qili, and felt very contemptuous in her heart.
I thought to myself, it’s really a miracle that a brain like Master Qili’s can grow in a human body!
If it weren't for your reincarnation, and if it weren't for your father and brother, including your mother, who protected you all the way, you, an idiot like you, would have already been in the Huai'an Marquis Mansion, let alone in the harem. He has died several times, and he is even worse than Yu Jue and Yu Yan!
But the identity of the head of Qili County was there after all, so Meilin could only suppress her displeasure and anger, and patiently explained with a smile,
"County Master, don't worry! Listen to me and explain to you!"
The mayor of Jili County was helpless when he saw that Mei Lin was smiling but not smiling. She was like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. After all, this plan depended on Mei Lin to complete. She also knew that she would fall out with Mei Lin at this time. Not suitable.
The Lord of Jili County asked with a cold face,
"I heard that Die Ci Yuanguang and his brother are already married. Why are they here to cause trouble?"
Dieci Yuanguang, his brother Wang, and the Liao Rong Khan King Dieci Lijian were all married to women of their own clan.
The regent Dieci Cangshu has never married a wife.
Mei Lin refilled the cup of tea for the Lord of Qili County and said,
"County Lord, the regent wants to be on good terms with Da Zhou. So we are worried that the regent may not fully agree with our plan, and in order not to offend the Holy Emperor, he may not help but just sit back and enjoy the results. Because, if it succeeds, There is no loss. If the matter fails, he can still marry you, the county lord. Therefore, the regent may not actively cooperate with us! So, we chose their prince named Die Ci Yuanguang to start with."
Qi Li also tried his best to follow Mei Lin's thinking.
"You mean, Dieci Yuanguang will cooperate with us?"
Mei Lin smiled and said,
"That's natural! The last thing Dieci Yuanguang wants is for the regent to have close contact with Dazhou! His brother is actually an adult already, and the reason why he has not yet taken charge is entirely because his brother is weak and suffers from illness all year round. Sick, so the regent Duici Cangshu can take over the power! If the regent of Liaorong marries you, the county lord, then his position in Liaorong will be more stable. In that case, when will his brother be able to take charge? He When will this prince be able to show off his talents?"
The Lord of Jili County seemed to understand somewhat, nodded and said,
"Oh, that is to say, they are at odds with each other and are trying to undermine each other! Is it just like Ji Jun did so much for the Li family army a while ago, but Chen Guogong and the others suppressed him and refused to reward him?"
Mei Lin was disdainful in her heart. She just understood such a simple truth!
However, he praised it greatly,
"The County Lord is so wise! I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out! The County Lord understands it in one click! No wonder you are the County Lord! Indeed, as the County Lord said, in Liaorong, some ministers who oppose the regent are ready to take action. They Some of them want to support Duici Yuangguang to succeed him. But we, the Zhou Dynasty, do not want Duici Yuangguang to succeed him, because Duici Yuanguang is unruly and powerful, and is definitely not as good as his sick king. Brother is easy to control."
The Lord of Qili County said anxiously,
"I know this, I understand this! You see, those powerful ministers in ancient times did not want the emperor to be too powerful."
Meilin no longer cared about her disdain and continued to explain,
"Therefore, Die Ci Yuanguang also knows that he is now weak and weak, and he does not dare to fall out with Da Zhou. Now that Liao Rong's situation is also very serious, the regent must marry Da Zhou to gain Da Zhou's support. In this way, In order not to anger the Great Zhou and not to add help to the regent Dieci Cangshu, what Dieci Yuangguang wants to see most is to make it impossible for Dieci Cangshu to marry a powerful noblewoman of the Great Zhou!"
The Lord of Jili County looked relaxed. Although what Mei Lin said was still a bit nerve-wracking for her, she understood the general meaning.
The Lord of Jili County has experienced some things, and he is no longer as aggressive as before.
As long as she doesn't marry and goes to Liao Rong, she can say anything!
As for whether Mei Lin and the others were looking for Die Ci Cangshu or Die Ci Yuan Guang, Kai Li didn't really care too much.
However, the head of Qili County suddenly became worried again.
"If the matter is exposed, do you think the Holy Emperor and my father will be angry?"
No matter how stupid the county leader is, she grew up in the royal family after all, and she also knows that it is a major military matter, and it is also a serious crime for her to destroy it in such a childish way.
If it were placed in the homes of ordinary people, it would not be an exaggeration to punish the nine tribes!
If she really got into a big trouble, she would be afraid if her father and brother could not protect her.
The third prince’s mother and concubine, as well as the fifth prince’s mother and concubine, didn’t all die inexplicably!
When the time comes, will it be...
Thinking of this, Qi Li suddenly felt extremely frightened!
Mei Lin saw this and smiled,
"Don't worry, County Master. During these days, County Master, have you seen Regent Dieci Cangshu?"
Qi Li shook his head.
Mei Lin asked again,
"So, County Master, have you met this Prince Yuan Guang?"
Qi Li still shook his head.
Mei Lin spread her hands and said,
"So, County Lord, what do you have to be afraid of? There was back and forth, provocations, and the one who tipped off the news was Guan Jingqiu! It has nothing to do with the informant at all, does it?"
After Meilin finished speaking, Shi Shiran left.
Qi Li sat there stunned for a long time, then he came to his senses and asked the maid next to him blankly,
"This County Lord doesn't know Dieci this or Dieci that at all, so why should I be afraid?"
The maid looked at her nose with her eyes, and her nose at her mouth, and dared not speak.
Hard work paid off, and a little beggar saw the murderer.
In Dali Temple, Ji Min drew a relatively clear facial outline based on the description of the little beggar.
However, when I took this portrait to ask the neighbors of the shop, even the shop assistants and the son of the shop owner and his wife, that is, Shaodongjia, no one knew this person.
But Ji Jun found that when he asked Xiang Shaodong's aunt, the aunt's hand was clenching the handkerchief tightly involuntarily, and her eyes were a little evasive.
Not only that, there was a trace of sweat on my aunt's forehead!
When answering their questions, my eyelashes trembled slightly and my breathing quickened!
Although her expression could be explained by the fact that she had never seen an official before, and had never been involved in a murder or interrogation, based on the criminal investigation films Jijun had watched before and some detective books, she could conclude that this aunt must have seen You might even know this suspect!
When she saw the suspect's portrait, the aunt just glanced at it hastily and did not look at it carefully at all, which shows that she had the answer in her heart.
However, Ji Jun remained silent and returned to Dali Temple to tell Zhou Huan his doubts.
Zhou Huan ordered people to pay close attention to this aunt. Ji Min felt a little hesitant, not sure whether he should tell the truth about his aunt.
It seems that things are still progressing as in the previous life, but I didn't expect that in this life, it is my cousin who is pushing it.
Let’s take a look again!
Ji Jun came to the autopsy room and re-examined the bodies of the shop owner and his wife. As he approached the shop owner and his wife, Ji Jun could clearly feel the poisonous insects on his body moving!
And the message this action conveyed to her was a kind of "gu". Of course, this "gu" was not very "overbearing", but it was not very comfortable.
Then, Ji Jun leaned over to look at the body, only to find something special about the clothes of the shop owner and his wife:
The silk texture of the fabric close to the chest and abdomen of the inner garment is similar to the silk of the Sogu people. In other words, the texture of this part of the fabric is similar to the texture of the handkerchief Jijun embroidered for his mother. !
Moreover, when Ji Jun carefully observed the wound, he discovered that some white liquid was flowing out of the wound.
All in all, the shop owner and his wife had been dead for two days. It was autumn and the indoor temperature was not low at noon, so the bodies were kept in ice.
The stab wound should show blood coagulating, ice cubes melting, and blood flowing out at this moment. There can be no white liquid!
Ji Jun picked some secretions and brought them to the sun, and then dropped some of his own blood into them. He found that the white secretions turned into bright red blood in an instant!
This is undoubtedly a kind of gu!
Ruiting saw this and spoke hesitantly,
"Miss, is that aunt the murderer?"
Ji Jun frowned. She only initially found out the cause of the death of the shop owner and his wife: this kind of poison attached to the small wound, causing the wound to not clot for a long time, and the blood continued to drain, eventually causing the shop owner and his wife to bleed to death.
But there are still many unexplained situations.
Zhou Huan said,
"Then how do you explain the suspect who escaped from the store? The wound didn't heal for a long time and the guy didn't notice it at all? Or is the guy an accomplice?"
Ji Min spoke out,
"How about we ask that aunt quietly first?"
