The quadruplets followed Liu Yun out of the inner courtyard. When they heard that another person had died, they all looked at Chu Nanzhi with some worry and asked weakly: "Auntie, are you going out to investigate the case again?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao, whose face was gloomy and uncertain. She did not rush to answer the little treasures, but turned to look at Chen Chuan and asked solemnly: "How did Xiao Dingfang die?"
"According to the Beibu Gulf Naval Staff General's report overnight, yesterday he and the Supervisory Army planned to lead the deployed sergeants to carry out patrol duties at Luyan Port today. They specifically asked Xiao Dingfang to stay and garrison in the Beibu Gulf before calling for summons. When they arrived at the camp, they found out
Xiao Dingfang died in the camp."
Chen Chuan carefully looked at Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao, and reported suspiciously: "According to General Liu's inspection, Xiao Dingfang committed suicide."
Worried that the two of them would be worried, Chen Chuan immediately added: "The county lieutenant, Zheng Haichuan, has personally brought people over for review."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi thought about it and nodded immediately.
Yesterday I was still thinking about how to solve this disaster, but I never expected to hear the news of Xiao Dingfang's death so early in the morning.
This is both good news and not good news for Chu Nanzhi.
Xing Huan was imprisoned just yesterday, and Xiao Dingfang committed suicide. Obviously, this guy knew that Xing Huan would tell the truth about the death of the late prince, so he kept this secret to his death.
This made her think of Luyan Port Dianshi Han Zhang and Princess Luo Chu who also committed suicide.
Nandu King Lin Tingkai has lost power. What kind of magic power does Yang Runchen have that makes so many people risk their lives to protect his reputation? It is really puzzling.
It's just that this will make the pretty boy suspicious again.
Lin Jinxiao dismissed Chen Chuan, ordered the little ones to follow Liu Yun to wash up, and led Chu Nanzhi back to the inner room.
After closing the door, Lin Jinxiao sat directly next to the bookcase, his gloomy face suddenly turned, he looked at her with a deep smile, and asked unhurriedly: "I would like to hear what my wife says, why is this Xiao Dingfang?"
Will you commit suicide suddenly?"
"I'm afraid he committed suicide out of fear of crime."
Chu Nanzhi made a calm and suspicious statement, and smiled calmly: "I can now conclude that he must have participated in the tax bank case and the assassination of Duanlongshan."
"Then why did he choose to kill himself when Xing Huan was imprisoned?"
Lin Jinxiao's smile gradually turned cold, and the look in his eyes became particularly strange: "Did Madam see Xing Huan in the state prison yesterday?"
"I have indeed seen it."
Chu Nanzhi smiled faintly again and replied with a normal expression: "It's just a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry and trying his best to protect himself."
In order to dispel the doubts in his mind, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to evade the most important matter and report it to him: "Prefect Xing was generous. He took a piece of private property in Tianhe County and asked me to intercede with you on his behalf. It cost him three thousand yuan."
A war horse."
"Three thousand war horses?"
Lin Jinxiao's thick sword-stained eyebrows suddenly trembled, and he looked at her particularly deeply: "So the lady accepted it?"
"Of course, this is God helping me. How can I not comply with God's will? As for the matter of begging for mercy, I will leave it to the people of Funing County."
Chu Nanzhi is now determined to take possession of that private property, even if she takes some risks.
Then he put on an air of fighting with others and replied resolutely: "I will leave this matter to the Zhao family and the Shen family to transport the horses to the foot of Nanhua Mountain one after another. I will ensure that there is no danger. If anyone dares to attack these horses
I will definitely deal with the horse’s ideas to the end.”
Seeing her so arrogant and unreasonable for the first time, Lin Jinxiao's resolute eyes couldn't help but be startled. He pulled her in front of him and said in a warm voice: "I know your hard work. If you want to go north in the future, you can't do it without an unstoppable team." Cavalry, it's just that you shouldn't hide everything from me. I told you a few days ago that we, husband and wife, must advance and retreat together."
After thinking for a while, he continued with deliberation: "This matter can only be handled by the Zhao and Shen families, so I might as well leave it to Erlang of the Yin family. He has always been a shrewd person."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "But a mere county guard raised 3,000 war horses on a private property in Tianhe County. This shows how corrupt the officialdom of Funing County has become. , this time we will definitely punish the county and intimidate and intimidate the county officials."
"I was extremely shocked when I learned about this yesterday, but I asked Prefect Xing carefully and he didn't tell me why he secretly raised so many war horses?"
Recalling this incident, Chu Nanzhi still felt puzzled.
Lin Jinxiao's tall nose trembled slightly, drawing out cold lines, and said with a disapproving smile: "You should ask Prince Xie about this?"
"Thank you, Prince?"
Chu Nanzhi was even more confused.
Lin Jinxiao pulled her to sit next to him and explained patiently: "The Baiyu tribe has a small area, but the cavalry is fierce and powerful. The passes to buy horses from the north are all in the hands of our Dahe Empire, but they still have channels to obtain them." Plenty of horses, of course, would be inseparable from the help of profit-seeking people like Xing Huan."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi sighed and took a long breath: This guy was really unjustly killed in my hands this time. The magistrate of a county dared to commit such an act of treason.
"Since the bloody battle between our country and the ten tribes of Baiyu more than ten years ago, although the armistice agreement was signed, the two countries have still been in a tense situation. His Majesty specially issued a decree to strictly restrict the trade of horses."
Mentioning this matter, Lin Jinxiao shook his head helplessly: "But even so, many people still try their best to sell horses to the ten tribes of Baiyu every year in order to obtain high remuneration from the Baiyu people. Xing Huan can he It is simply a harmless thing for him to allow Haikang County officials to harbor the Dongsang bandits and sell some horses to Shita City."
After explaining the horse matter, Lin Jinxiao still felt something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her again, and said suspiciously: "It's just that the horse matter is not related to Xiao Dingfang's death. Did Xing Huan mention other things to the lady?"
"What else could there be?"
Seeing that he kept asking questions, Chu Nanzhi scolded: "Lin Dalang, why are you always so suspicious now? I am your wife, can I still hide anything from you?"
Lin Jinxiao was startled by her sudden roar.
After thinking about it, this is indeed what happened.
If my wife can have any bad intentions, she will always plan for herself, and she will never plot against herself.
Chu Nanzhi expected that he would not interrogate Xing Huan personally in order to avoid suspicion, so he continued to complain while the iron was hot, pretending to be aggrieved: "If my husband is worried, you can go to the prison to interrogate Xing Huan yourself."
"Madam, you are worrying too much."
Lin Jinxiao held her hand in his palm, looked at each other with warm eyes and said, "You have worked hard for our family. What can I have to worry about? I'm just afraid that you will be wronged again."
"With you here, how can I suffer any injustice?"
Seeing that he was finally relieved, Chu Nanzhi leaned in his arms and sighed secretly:
Grandma has such a long leg, making green tea is really tiring.
