Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth twists and turns
"Lu Sheng's knife... is really useful!" Yun Ze Hou's Mansion, Yun Xiao gently put it down after reading the news handed over by his subordinates.
"I thought I could have a few days of leisure, but I didn't expect that the dust would be settled in just ten days. The emperor's determination was very firm, and Lu Sheng's knife was also very sharp."
"But not everyone can hold Lu Sheng's knife. It is best to have this strategy of killing people with a knife only once." Zhang Shaoqiu closed his eyes and shook his head silently, "I feel that Lu Sheng has realized it."
"If he doesn't realize that he is not Lu Sheng." Yun Zehou's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he was playing with his fingertips in his hand, as if he was thinking about some decision.
"Uncle, can I really protect my safety by taking me to Sheji Academy?"
"Sheji Academy is a holy place after all, and even if Lu Sheng is arrogant, he will not dare to do anything. You finally recognize the reality. I am really afraid that you will still be so disobedient."
"There's no way... The more I know about Lu Sheng, the more I feel that this person is terrible. It's all because I'm too careless. I thought that all the villagers had died back then, but I didn't expect that there were still more than a dozen fish that had missed the net. When I noticed it, they had already contacted Guo Ru.
If Guo Ru was asked to impeach in the morning court, even if I left the emperor, the emperor would definitely order a thorough investigation. In a hurry, there was only time to make such a bad decision.
I originally expected to hide this from the truth, but I didn't expect Lu Sheng to be so alert. Not only did I not fool this matter, but he was caught in his hands. I had no choice but to fight with him.
I need to make up for one flaw with two flaws. The more I do, the bigger the flaw. Although I successfully bear all the charges on Ma Jinjue, after all, it involves the Huns and the old cases of that year, and Lu Sheng will definitely follow the truth.
Lu Sheng didn't give up on investigation for a day, and I was always stared at by him. I could fight back against others, but I couldn't even fight back against him. Now that he freed up his hands, he would definitely do airtight investigation around me.
How can a man compare to the heaven's calculations... There must be a miscellaneous secret."
"Your biggest mistake is not that you didn't get rid of the roots back then, your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't have done that thing back then."
"What's the use of this now? I've done it." Yun Zehou said a little unhappy.
"Get off as soon as possible, it's best to leave today."
"Today? No!" Yun Zehou shook his head quickly, "I have to deal with the industries under my command. Even at the fastest speed, it will take seven days. Lu Sheng will find out at least one month above me, and we have enough time."
On the other side, in Lu Sheng's office, seven dusty Xuantian Guards knelt down in front of Lu Sheng.
"The Nightingale Team failed to complete the mission, please punish me."
“Not found?”
"We searched all over Liangzhou, and we searched all over Liangzhou Xuantian Mansion and couldn't find them."
"Is it possible that they will come out of seclusion?"
"Impossible. The guards of Liangzhou border were led by the Fengbo Palace. Three thousand people are not a small number. General Feng Wuhen is sure that no one has left in the past half month."
"Three thousand people...there is no reason to disappear like this..."
"but……"
"But what?"
"But we found Ma Jinjue's body, and two bodies were found under a cliff. It seemed that we were going to take a small path and leave Jingzhou, and rolled down from the mountain when we walked to the edge of the cliff."
"Silence again! How long have you been dead?"
"It has been ten days since the degree of decay of the corpse. It should be that the master of the imperial examination found that the Sancun in Liangzhou was silenced when he was impersonating it."
"Silence... It's really silence... Marquis Yunze, I underestimated you. You can do things so well... Wait!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in Lu Sheng's mind.
"Who is the other person?"
"I wonder, sir, will it be the killer who came to kill Ma Jinjue? In the end, Ma Jinjue became fierce and died with his murderer in his arms?"
Lu Sheng hesitated for a long time and slowly shook his head.
"It should not be difficult for a noble family like Yunzehou to execute his housekeeper silently, right? Why do you want Ma Jinjue to leave and then attack and kill halfway?"
"This... may be more realistic for the sake of acting. After all, Yun Zehou pushed all the charges to Ma Jinjue and said that Ma Jinjue had escaped."
"Wouldn't it be better if you don't see people in your life and die without seeing corpses?"
"This...is indeed."
"Ma Jinjue has learned so many secrets in Yunzehou, and even the dirty work is done by Ma Jinjue. If you can help Yunzehou do things, your mind will definitely not be stupid. Then, he will definitely think about what will happen if the truth is revealed one day.
Therefore, it was not that Yun Zehou did not want to silence him silently, but that there must be something in Ma Jinjue's hands, so Ma Jinjue had the chance to run away. Where was Ma Jinjue's place?"
The Nightingale team stood up and came to the map on the wall. They searched for a long time before pointing in a deserted ridge on the map.
“Here!”
"In the mountains and forests...how did you find it?"
"We didn't find it first. The local people found the body first and reported it to the government. The government thought that the people were under their rule and fell off the cliff, so they posted a claim notice.
When we were resting in the county, we saw the notice and then we confirmed that it was Ma Jinjue. Then we took the body, and now the body is on the side of the brothers in the autopsy group."
"Sir!" At this moment, Xiaoyuan knocked on the door and walked in, "Sir, there is progress on the autopsy team. They found a peace talisman in Ma Jinjue's esophagus."
"In the esophagus rather than the stomach?" Lu Sheng asked in fear.
"It's true that things are stuck in the esophagus. It's very uncomfortable to get stuck in the esophagus. Either they will be spit out or they will be swallowed directly. If they are not swallowed or spit out, there is only one explanation. He will die before he can take the next step."
"Ping An Talisman? Why did Ma Jinjue eat the Ping An Talisman?" Lu Sheng instantly realized that the Ping An Talisman might be a key clue.
"The autopsy team has confirmed that this peace talisman is the peace talisman that was obtained from the Jingrong Temple. If Ma Jinjue wanted to leave any clues... would it be related to the Jingrong Temple?"
"Enrong Temple is an important place in Buddhism, and it is also a Buddhist sect that is directly under the Dari Buddhist sect. Even the Hou of Yunze is not qualified to collude with it, let alone Ma Jinjue... But Ma Jinjue cannot swallow the peace talisman for no reason.
Moreover, the Ping An Talisman is stuck in the esophagus, which means that Ma Jinjue swallowed it when he was dying and fell to death before he could swallow it. The person who swallowed the Ping An Talisman should have fallen off the cliff.
Then, he still has to swallow the peace talisman when he falls. This clue is very critical. Nightingale team, let’s go to the Xiangrong Temple. Bring the portrait of Ma Jinjue…and wait, even the portrait of the person who fell to death with Ma Jinjue.”
Lu Sheng and his group rushed to Xiangrong Temple. Because Lu Sheng and his team were all wearing Xuantian Mansion's official uniforms, the guest monk from Xiangrong Temple quickly notified the manager of the temple.
"Amitabha... Why did the lord from Xuantian Mansion suddenly visit Xiangrong Temple? But what happened?"
Although the monks in Xiangrong Temple are monks, even if they see Xuantianwei, they will be timid. When they react subconsciously, they have done something, and they will not have committed any crime.
"The master is the host of Xiangrong Temple?"
"Amitabha, I am just a guest today. Do you want to see us host the host?"
Lu Sheng thought about it and found that the scale of the jingyun Temple was so large, and Lu Sheng only guessed in his heart that Ma Jinjue left the peace talisman because he hoped to leave the jingyun Temple. But Lu Sheng really didn't know where to ask.
Could you just ask, what is Ma Jinjue’s transaction or something in Xiangrong Temple? Is it sure to finish the game?
In an instant, Lu Sheng took out two portraits from his arms, "Master, have you seen these two people? These two people are fugitives who are about to be arrested by Xuantian Mansion. I heard from the masses that they had appeared in the Xiangrong Temple."
The public reports, well, that's a good reason.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Qin?" The monk was not interested in Ma Jinjue's portrait, but he recognized the appearance of another young man at a glance.
"Young Master Qin? Master knows this person?"
"My dear officials, do you think Mr. Qin is a fugitive? You must have made a mistake. Mr. Qin is a sincere and trustworthy person, and a famous filial son nearby."
"Master, do you know this person?"
"I met Mr. Qin for the first time five years ago. I was also moved by Mr. Qin's filial piety. Mr. Qin's mother worshipped the Buddha with integrity, but she was ill in bed.
In order to comfort his mother, Mr. Qin came to the temple to copy scriptures every day, and then went home to read it to his mother. After a while, all the monks in the temple knew Mr. Qin.
But unfortunately, less than a year later, Mr. Qin's mother died of illness. Later, Mr. Qin cremated his mother according to the method of my Buddhist cremation and sent the ashes to the worship pavilion to inherit the Buddhist incense.
Every year on the 15th day of the lunar month, Master Qin would come to burn incense and chant scriptures to his mother, and he never stopped it in four years. Such a sincere and filial person would not believe that he was a traitor and a poor monk. Amitabha…”
"Where is Mr. Qin's house?"
"I am five miles away from the foot of this mountain. I have never been there and I don't know, but I think the people at the foot of the mountain will know it as soon as I ask."
After Lu Sheng said goodbye, he hurriedly went to search and found Mr. Qin's home very smoothly.
Of course, there were no one from Mr. Qin at home, and although the traces were professionally erased, they still could not escape the professional investigation of Xuantian Mansion.
Mr. Qin's home was searched. Soon, Lu Sheng also discovered a secret latitude of Mr. Qin's home, and all the things in the secret latitude had been cleared. Obviously, this was a waste, and the murderer was one step faster than Lu Sheng.
"Damn it!" Nightingale cursed with some resentment.
"So, this young master Qin was not sent to kill Ma Jinjue, but he was pushed off the cliff and fell to death with Ma Jinjue. Then... he must have something to do with Ma Jinjue." Lu Sheng said lightly with his hands in his arms.
"Sir, maybe he is the backup plan left by Ma Jinjue. But unfortunately, Ma Jinjue can't play with Yunze Marquis after all. Ma Jinjue must have handed over the key evidence to Mr. Qin. If something happened to Ma Jinjue, Mr. Qin would hand over the evidence to Xuantian Mansion. Therefore, Mr. Yunze Marquis had to arrange for Ma Jinjue to run away.
But Yunze Hou never gave up on finding evidence, so unfortunately, Mr. Qin was found and the evidence was taken away. So Ma Jinjue had no choice but to stop. Ma Jinjue was killed together with Mr. Qin, so Mr. Yunze Hou could rest assured."
This side speculates that it is reasonable why Ma Jinjue was arranged to run away and killed and silenced.
