Chapter 640 'The Legend of Red Flame' (5)

Xiao Xi took a few bites of the already cold meal and then gave up. She packed the lunch box and carried the plastic bag to the door. She opened the door and put the garbage outside, then closed the door with a bang.

Kitchen waste smells bad overnight and can easily attract cockroaches and mosquitoes. She throws it outside whenever there is kitchen waste, and then throws it into the community trash can the next day when she goes out. This has been her habit.

She came to the living room and watched TV. Other dramas were playing on the TV. Today's "Legend of Red Flame" had obviously finished.

"There will be a replay tomorrow." She turned off the TV.

As long as she catches up on the online dramas tonight and watches the reruns of today's dramas tomorrow, her drama-watching progress will keep up with the rest.

Xiaoxi thought happily, took out a few bags of potato chips, plums and other snacks from the refrigerator, took two bottles of milk, and returned to the bedroom.

She sat down at the computer desk, opened a bag of potato chips, and moved the mouse to click on the next episode.

The truth of the Red Flame ration case has been revealed, and the innocent and pitiful Gong Yu paid the price with his life. So what will happen to the protagonists next? Where will the plot develop next?

As she watched with concentration, new characters appeared one after another, and plots were revealed one after another. The strange and wonderful plot seemed to be slowly opening the curtain of a conspiracy called power.

Zhuo Qing died in his own home.

Mu Nihuang and the others did not have the power to arrest people, and Zhuo Qing seemed to be a minor player at the lowest level. They also got the truth they wanted from Zhuo Qing, and no matter how much they asked, they couldn't get anything out.

So before finding out that Gong Yu was dead, Mu Nihuang made the decision and let Zhuo Qing go.

Xia Dong, Superintendent of Xuanjing, had supervisory authority, so he sent two of his men to closely monitor outside Zhuo Qing's house, and sent four more men to monitor outside of Jingzhao Mansion in order to find more useful clues.

But no one expected that Zhuo Qing died that night.

"Ah——!" Late at night in Kyoto, as a woman screamed from a house, the camera also revealed the scene of Zhuo Qing's death.

Zhuo Qing committed suicide by inserting a pair of scissors into his heart.

He was kneeling with his head bowed. There was a shrine in front of him, and the tablet of the Red Flame Army was placed there.

"Hey." Xiao Xi sighed.

Zhuo Qing was actually innocent. He had no idea what he was doing transporting grain from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't until the end of the matter that Zhuo Di told him that a grain team from the Beirong forces disguised as Daliang Trading Company had appeared. If the grain was replaced with poisonous grain and these people were transported back to Beirong to help the Red Flame Army fight, it would be a great achievement.

One piece.

Obviously, Zhuo Di was also deceived. Having received a suppressive education since childhood, he very much wanted to be recognized by his father, Zhuo Yanqing. This was taken advantage of by someone who was hiding deeper, and asked Zhuo Di, who happened to own a grain trading company, to do it.

about this.

But it is still unknown who is behind the scenes and why they want to use Zhuo Di.

And when word came back that the Red Flame Army had almost delayed its fighter plane due to lack of food, Zhuo Di and Zhuo Qing were both stunned and frightened.

Zhuo Qing didn't know what happened after that, and nearly ten years passed like this.

And looking at the scene in the camera, whether it is a shrine or a tablet, they are all covered with dust and spider silk, and they look like they have been neglected for many years.

This is very detailed, and it also shows that Zhuo Qing felt guilty at first. He blamed himself for what he did that endangered his country's army, so he placed a memorial tablet of the Red Flame Army at home to pray day and night. However, as time went on,

As days passed without anything happening, I slowly regained my normalcy and chose to forget all of this.

At this point, as Gong Yu, who has a tragic life, makes the audience confused, Zhuo Qing, who seems a bit innocent after all, is also offline.

Two people died one after another. For ordinary people, it takes time to get the news and it depends on whether the official will announce it. But for the powerful people who have spies all over Kyoto, they can get real-time news.

The highly intelligent beauty Qin Banruo is played by Yang Rong.

"Wow, Yang Rong, another beauty." Xiao Xi praised.

In the study room of Prince Yu's Mansion, Qin Banruo poured tea, Prince Yu was reading, and the two started a conversation.

"Prince Jing has been obsessed with investigating the Meiling case over the years, which has annoyed His Majesty every time. After losing power, Prince Jing has no chance to investigate the case. But as soon as Princess Nihuang returned to Beijing, two murder cases occurred.

."

"Nihuang and Lin Shu were more affectionate than Jin back then. Originally, Lin Mansion and Mu Mansion were planning to get married to Chi Yan after they retreated from the enemy Beirong. Little did they know that Chi Yan was destroyed. Ni Huang must have felt very painful in the past ten years.

Well, this time when I returned to Beijing from the pacification of southern Xinjiang, I wanted to investigate the case from that year, and Nihuang also wanted to put this matter to rest."

"Your Highness, you still don't understand what I mean."

"Oh? If you have something to say, just say it."

Qin Banruo slowly served King Yu a cup of tea and put his hands on his kneeling thighs very elegantly.

"Princess Nihuang returned to Beijing to investigate the case without her armor, but she had the power to pacify southern Xinjiang. As long as she did not make too serious mistakes, the court could not do anything to her. After all, Princess Nihuang could not do anything to her if she was touched.

All the people in the world cannot answer to the army of Liang."

"This is also the reason why Princess Nihuang dares to investigate the Meiling case. As long as His Majesty's bottom line is not touched, Your Majesty will only turn a blind eye."

"However, Princess Nihuang is Princess Nihuang, and Prince Jing is Prince Jing."

"Prince Jing relies on Princess Nihuang's power and is on good terms with Princess Nihuang. Both of them want to investigate the Meiling case. So, is today's matter related to Prince Jing?"

"The two lives, regardless of whether they have anything to do with the Meiling case or not, whether they are deserved or harmed, but as long as Your Majesty knows that Prince Jing is involved, His Majesty will be furious, and Your Majesty's momentum will further increase."

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and pondered: "You mean, you want me to read Prince Jing's book tomorrow morning? But what if Prince Jing doesn't admit it?"

Qin Banruo smiled and said: "Princess Nihuang has been investigating the case unabashedly these days. Now two lives have been lost. If we don't talk about it in the court, that's fine. But if we talk about it, some people will think that Nihuang is...

It is inappropriate for the princess to act like this."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Prince Jing is inside, and Princess Nihuang is outside. Prince Jing relies on Princess Nihuang's power to have hope of investigating the Meiling case. He never wants to

I saw something happen to Princess Nihuang, even if it was just a dispute in the court."

"In order to ensure the smoothness of the investigation, Prince Jing must protect Princess Nihuang in the court, so as long as His Highness raises the issue that this matter is related to Princess Nihuang, he will definitely admit that he did it all."

Prince Jing slowly drank a cup of tea and spit out one word: "Wonderful."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xi opened her eyes and finally understood a comment she had read: [Yang Rong, please be kinder!]

"The most poisonous woman has a heart, this Qin Prajna is so insidious." She was indignant in her heart.

The plot came to the morning court of the next day. Sure enough, someone brought up the matter of two lives that happened yesterday in the court hall, and intentionally or unintentionally said that it was related to Princess Nihuang.

This person is not King Yu, but he must be King Yu's man. Seeing King Yu's insidious look, Xiao Xi feels uncomfortable in her heart.

The development of the plot was exactly as Qin Banruo said. Prince Jing stood up and admitted proactively: "Father, all this was done by my son..."

Emperor Liang was also furious because of this: "You can just check some files. Who gave you the authority to investigate civil cases? Have you asked the minister of Dali Temple for his opinion? Have you asked the minister of Xuanjing for his consent?"

The Dali Temple Qing Yanhou and the Xuanjing Secretary Xia Jiang were played by Mr. Wang Jinsong and Mr. Guo Dongwen. They each glanced at Prince Jing, then lowered their heads and said nothing.

Teachers Guo Dongwen and Wang Qingxiang played their roles in "The Ming Dynasty" to perfection. They are both national-level veterans, so the audience can't tell whether they are good or bad in this drama.

In the process of Emperor Liang reprimanding King Jing, the performance of three people was thought-provoking.

Mr. Liu Yijun, who plays the role of Mr. Xie Yu, the Prime Minister of Zuo, Ning Guogong, has a thoughtful expression, and I don’t know what he is thinking.

Right Prime Minister Wang Song, Duke of Qingguo, is played by Mr. Huang Zhizhong, who looks like an old god is here and it has nothing to do with him.

Only Zhuo Yanqing, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Mr. Wang Qingxiang, who plays the role, showed some anxiety and hesitation.

Xiao Xi couldn't understand the performance of the first two people for the time being, but she could understand a little bit of Zhuo Yanqing's performance of the latter.

Zhuo Di is the son of Zhuo Yanqing. Zhuo Qing was found out and is dead. Is his son okay?

Although the previous plot said that the father and son of the Zhuo family were not on good terms, in the end they were still virulent and would not eat their children. In this case, the father must be very worried about whether something will happen to his son, right?

Perhaps, there may be something more hidden in the relationship between father and son.

Xiao Xi looked at it. After the court was over, the camera was dominated by Zhuo Yanqing. After leaving the palace, she saw him anxiously saying: "Go to Jingzhao Mansion and ask him to come see me."

As he finished speaking, the camera turned to Jingzhao Mansion.

However, something seems to have happened in Jingzhao Mansion. Teams of people from the Xuanjing Division wearing black uniforms are looking for something.

Through the conversation, we learned that Zhuo Di was missing.

"He actually ran away." Xiao Xi muttered.

"But something is wrong." She thought.

Xia Dong, Superintendent of Xuanjing, said that confession alone cannot lead to conviction. Even if Zhuo Di is detained based on Zhuo Qing's confession, Zhuo Di will eventually be acquitted if he denies everything.

Moreover, Zhuo Di's father, Zhuo Yanqing, was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and was especially friendly with Xie Yu, the prime minister of Zuo.

Xie Yu's power is overwhelming, which shows that the Zhuo family's network is very strong.

So, as long as Zhuo Di doesn't admit it and his family has this network of contacts, Dali Temple and Xuanjing Division can't do anything to him.

So, why did Zhuo Di run away? Mu Nihuang and the others had no concrete evidence to prove that Zhuo Di was guilty.

It is very strange to give up the official position of Jingzhao Yin, give up the prominent family background and just run away.

"Supervisor, I found an account book in the study room and placed it on the table. It seems that it was left on purpose." The subordinate handed an account book to Xia Dong.

I'm surprised. Did Zhuo Di deliberately leave a clue? What's going on?

"I don't understand." Xiao Xi took a sip of milk.

Xia Dong took the account book and looked at it. It seemed that the contents in the account book contained some big clues, which made her frown.

Xia Dong pondered for a while, handed the account book to his subordinate and opened his mouth to say something but stopped. After a while, he said: "Let Si Qing decide."

Seeing this look in Xiao Xi's eyes, Xia Dong seemed to be hesitating whether to give the account book to Secretary Xuanjing, that is, Xia Jiang, for review.

Xiao Xi couldn't help but wonder, is Xia Jiang bad?

Since Xia Dong thinks Xia Jiang is bad, why should he give this clue to Xia Jiang?

As the plot progressed, she found the answer from the conversations between a group of people with explosive IQs, and also received a surprising turn of events.

At a ferry outside the city, Mu Nihuang and his guard Qinghong were admiring the scenery under the trees by the river.

"Princess, Zhuo Di is also a dignified fourth-rank Jingzhao Yin, why did he run away?" Qinghong asked.

Before he could speak, Mei Changsu's voice came from behind: "This is a good question."

Qinghong turned around and frowned: "Smelly Qilin, you're pretending again."

Mu Nihuang, played by Liu Yifei, has been hard to smile in so many episodes. Listening to Qinghong teasing Mei Changsu, the corners of her mouth formed small pear dimples.

Facing Qinghong's joke, Mei Changsu shook his head: "He ran because he knew that he would definitely die if he stayed in Kyoto."

"How is that possible?" Qinghong didn't believe it: "His father, Zhuo Yanqing, is a third-rank official. The Zhuo family has good relations with Zuo Prime Minister Xie Yu. With such overwhelming power, who dares to kill him?"

"Of course the person who wants to kill him will kill him." Mei Changsu is well versed in nonsense literature.

"You..." Qinghong glared.

At this moment, Xia Dong slowly walked over.

The difference is that Xia Dong's usual black clothes are gone, and she is wearing silver and white clothes that are eye-catching.

Xiao Xi suddenly remembered some comments. The black server represents Xia Dong's depressed state and has no hope for the Meiling case. The white server represents that Xia Dong has come out and found his life goal and chose to join Mu Nihuang's team.

, become a member of the protagonist group.

"Great." Xiao Xi cheered, someone as powerful as Xia Dong finally woke up.

In the screen, Xia Dong was heard saying: "Are you sure you don't want my help?"

Mei Changsu smiled slightly: "Everyone in our Jiangzuo League is a master of martial arts. Although they are not as good as the Xuanjing Division of the Supervisor, they can still follow a person."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiaoxi is curious, what does it mean to follow a person?

But listening to the next dialogue in the play completely shocked her.

Did Mu Nihuang, Mei Changsu, Xia Dong and others let Zhuo Di escape on purpose?

Xiao Xi suddenly thought of a previous plot. When Mei Changsu was testing Jing'an Trading Company, he saw someone delivering a letter to Jingzhao Mansion.

In fact, from that moment on, Yin Zhuodi of Jingzhao Mansion had already known that someone was investigating him.

Listening to their conversation, Mei Changsu had sent people from the Jiangzuo Alliance to keep watch around the Jingzhao Mansion from that day on, which was one step faster than Xia Dong's Xuanjing Division.

People from the Jiangzuo League watched Zhuo Di's every move, including Zhuo Di's escape from the city through a secret passage.

Zhuo Di, with such a family background and official position, fled, which also proved that once he was found, Zhuo Di knew that he would definitely die, and even his father could not save him.

This is the speculation of Mu Nihuang and others.

Then, the person who wants to kill Zhuo Di must be extremely powerful, and may be the real driving force behind the Chiyan tragedy.

Mu Nihuang currently has no power, Mei Changsu is just a commoner, Prince Jing is weak, Meng Zhi, the commander of the imperial army, lives in the palace, and Xia Dong is in the mixed-race Xuanjing Division. None of them has a complete strategy and corresponding power.

Come and protect Zhuo Di.

They believe that it is difficult for a criminal who is certain to die to tell the truth.

If you can't save Zhuo Di, then don't even try to get news from Zhuo Di.

The only way is to let Zhuo Di escape and escape from the capital to avoid being assassinated by the people behind the scenes.

Mei Changsu sent people from the Jiangzuo Alliance to follow him and wait until the time is right before making plans.

"Is this a conspiracy?" Xiao Xi sighed. She had also watched many historical dramas. This was the first time she had seen a group of highly intelligent characters and plots with high IQs that strategized and then acted. She had considered it too comprehensively.

However, Xia Dong's subsequent conversation not only solved another doubt in her mind, but also added some mysteries, making the plot even more confusing.

The account book found in the study room of Zhuo Di's house recorded the sales of three hundred carts of grain ten years ago.

These three hundred carts of food are the military rations transferred from the Red Flame Army's food transport team.

In the account book, it is clearly recorded to which merchants the military rations were sold.

As long as you verify it with these merchants one by one, this will be ironclad evidence of the Chiyan military ration case!

But this raises some questions: Why did Zhuo Di do this? Why did he blow himself up? Why did he take the initiative to take out the evidence? After taking it out, he ran away again.

Xiao Xi's head was numb and she wished she could transform into Sherlock Holmes and immediately solve these suspense.

However, these suspense questions may only be answered from Zhuo Di. Unfortunately, Zhuo Di has run away now, and it is estimated that the mystery will not be solved in a short time.

What Xia Dong said next shocked Xiao Xi again.

"I gave the account book to Secretary Qing and told you people from the Jiangzuo Alliance that if anyone from the Xuanjing Division is after Zhuo Di, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Mu Nihuang and Mei Changsu were startled at the same time.

What do you mean by this? Why did the Xuanjing Division pursue Zhuo Di?

What if the Xuanjing Secretary pursues Zhuo Di? That means Xia Jiang, the Xuanjing Secretary, is bad!

"So smart!" Xiao Xi was amazed. This Xia Dong's IQ was simply explosive. Following Zhuo Di's escape route, he added another ring to it and used a ledger to test whether there was something wrong with the Shangguan of the Xuanjing Division.

, this was something she didn’t expect at all.

Xia Dong's hesitant expression before holding the account book revealed the corresponding answer at this moment.

Xia Jiang is Xia Dong's adoptive father, but Xia Jiang may be bad and the murderer of Xia Dong's husband, so Xia Dong seemed a little hesitant when taking the account book to make a decision.

But Xia Dong came wearing a silver dress, explaining her choice from the details of her makeup.

In front of her adoptive father and husband, in the face of darkness and justice, she chose the latter.

From Xia Dong's words, Mu Nihuang also knew Xia Dong's choice, and she looked at each other for a few seconds, and then the two of them smiled, as if they had found the relationship they had as sisters in the past, and also expressed a common position.

"I feel comfortable." Xiao Xi felt very happy. The combination of Mu Nihuang, Mei Changsu, Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan, and Xia Dong was officially established.
