047 Picked up a bargain
Chen Biyue showed a disgusting look. She was familiar with this. In her previous life, Hou Wu often spoke. It was clearly what her old naughty grandfather said casually while pretending to behave. Only Hou Wu, the loyal servant, believed it foolishly, and regarded it as a family motto at all times.
"Then please come and put your account book in the large wardrobe in Zhulan's room. It is hidden and remember to be careful of the guards of King Yu. They are very powerful. If you are discovered, don't bother them too much."
"Have you fought with them?"
Chen Biyue was silent for a moment and said perfunctorily: "King Yu is in charge of the Jinwu Guards. There are countless masters around you. If you are caught, you will have to bother your grandfather to take you off, so that you will lose face to the Meng family." After that, he waved his hand at him and looked down at the file.
Hou Wu went there, and it had been three hours when he came back.
"Why have you been there for so long?" Chen Biyue got up and just finished her last bite of rice. She planned to serve a bowl of soup and drink it slowly. The woman who was working on the coffin shop was really skillful. She put some fragrant herbs in the soup. The aroma was light and heavy, making people feel a lot of appetite.
"My little master, Zheng Jing has been arrested."
A mouthful of soup suddenly choked in her throat. She couldn't help but cough violently. Her face turned red and her watery eyes were full. She coughed for a long time before she gradually calmed down.
"Why is it so fast?" It is logical that the case of bribery by officials should be reported to the state governor, and then submitted to the censorate. The supervisory censor will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for trial, and finally handed over to the Dali Temple for judgment. After this process, it will take at least dozens of days. How can the case be decided within three hours?
Hou Wu's face was a little serious, "It was King Yu who sent someone to take him down."
She tightened her face slightly, "Have you seen King Yu?"
"The villain is in the dark, King Yu has never seen me, and many people gathered on the fourth floor at that time..."
"Outside the fourth floor?" She was a little sensitive to this word and subconsciously spoke. She felt it was inappropriate and stopped her mouth a little embarrassedly.
Hou Wu was a little surprised, "How do you know, the little master?"
Chen Biyue coughed a few moments, "I guess, you continue."
"When the villain put things in, Zheng Jing had just arrived. Seeing King Yu and him going to the backyard to check, the villain hid in the dark and saw him pulling out the account book, but refused to admit it. At this time, a guard of the royal palace came over. I don't know what he said, King Yu escorted Zheng to pass by. It turned out that Zi E who died outside the fourth floor was Zheng Jing's spy placed in Chaoxian Pavilion, responsible for collecting private information from various powerful and wealthy businessmen for him so that he could do better. At that time, several yamen runners were escorted by the royal palace guards. The letters scattered all over the ground should be ironclad evidence of the two people coming down privately. The evidence was conclusive. King Yu was immediately furious and asked someone to take him down and send a message directly to the Censorate."
Chen Biyue pursed her lips slightly and suddenly figured out everything.
If it was just a coincidence that she dealt with the Deng family, then what happened to Zi'e later, including her escape from Chaoxian Pavilion, was Shao Yan deliberately designed her in order to kill Zheng Jing today.
She had been recalling since last night that it was obviously difficult for her to escape, but it was going well, especially when she toasted Shao Yan, she was not sure that he would drink it. At that time, she attributed all this to her luck, so that she could meet Wu Zheng smoothly.
Now that I think about it, it is really wrong. Shao Yan deliberately let her escape. She could not leave Donghui Township. She would definitely deal with the Deng family's son in the Ma Mansion murder case. Although he held Zi'e's letters in his hand, it was impossible to convict Zheng Jing based on the letters alone. The evidence that she asked Hou Wu to release, plus Zi'e's letters, could make this crime worse.
All he wanted was to force her to deal with Zheng Jing.
As for Zi E's letter, it should have been taken away when he sent someone to kill Zi E. So he did not send it, and even asked Tian Feng to pretend to be a fake show of something. The purpose was to make it for outsiders. I think that Zi E was Zheng Jing's eyeliner, and maybe that outsider was Zheng Jing.
But why did he fight Zheng Jing? On the surface, Zheng Jing is also a member of the Zhang family, and he is the grandson of the Zhang family, so there is no reason to be unable to get along with his grandfather's family.
In addition to this, there is also how Shao Yan guessed that she would definitely deal with Zheng Jing if she escaped. With his means, since Zi E could be found, Zheng Jing's corruption and bribery must be under control. Why didn't he do it himself and instead went around such a big circle and let her do it?
"Do you think something is wrong?" Chen Biyue was silent for too long, which made Hou Wu feel a little strange.
Chen Biyue instantly came back to her senses and snorted gently, "I've picked him up a big advantage!"
Hou Wu was puzzled, "Who is he?"
"Of course, it's the one who receives the credit." Chen Biyue breathed a sigh of relief and said again, "As soon as this matter came out, whether it was the murder case of Ma's mansion or Zi'e's death, it should have ended with Zheng Jing's arrest, and even Deng's mansion could be resolved soon."
"Zheng Jing is very close to the Deng family after all..." Hou Wu suddenly seemed to think of something and sighed, "I hope the Deng family can take over their bully style."
Chen Biyue rarely saw Hou Wu sighing, and she felt a little funny for a moment, "There are so many dandy and domineering nobles in Yong'an City that they can't count even ten fingers. Besides, the emperor's feet, let alone such a small place. But can a mere wealthy businessman make you feel so emotional?"
"It made the master laugh. It was the villain who had just passed by Deng's mansion and saw a woman pulling with the servant in the mansion. Seeing that the woman was pale and thin, she couldn't help but be pushed to the ground and pulled the servant's trousers' legs desperately. Many people around him watched, and no one dared to come forward to stop him. Perhaps it was because the Deng's mansion was too rampant in daily life that made them afraid..."
"A woman with a pale face and thin skin?" Chen Biyue's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but lean forward, "Who is she?"
"Listen to the content of their dispute, the woman's husband seemed to be imprisoned by the people of the Deng family, so she went to the Deng family to ask for someone, but the Deng family refused to hand him out."
Chen Biyue's face gradually became ugly. Before Hou Wu finished speaking, she suddenly stood up from the couch and rushed to an inner room next door.
The underground secret room is very large. In addition to the one she often stays in is the largest, there are dozens of large and small inner rooms, some for storing grain, placing debris, handling intelligence, and developing rare items.
Hou Wu is good at studying some strange things on weekdays, including developing human skin masks for disguise. Her true face was wanted by Shao Yan, and she could only disguise her appearance if she wanted to walk outside. In addition to Xiwu's method of covering it with makeup powder, the most suitable one is disguise.
