Beautiful and miserable be aesthetics

Chapter 87

It has been six days since Lian Shenwei improved his wrist, and the crown prince and the other two princes were fighting openly and secretly.

Ying Jing never failed to live up to his expectations. Based on the clues he deliberately left, he found the location of the dirty money that he had moved, but the eldest prince and the third prince had been obstructing it.

Although he had broken through to the Kaiyang state, after all, he didn't devote all his energy to practicing martial arts, and his strength was poor. However, Li Ningfeng accompanied him to handle the case, and Ying Jingjue made a breakthrough very quickly.

Violence is sometimes the key to breaking the situation.

At this time, the two of them hurried to the place where the dirty money was hidden with their people.

"Ning Feng, why do I feel that your internal energy has become a lot more irritable recently?"

"Have it?"

Li Ningfeng raised his eyebrows, "However, I've been a little tired from practicing recently. I asked my master about something I didn't understand, but I haven't received a reply yet."

He has always listened to his master's words, sent the letter to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and then the people there sent it out.

"Your master still doesn't see you?" Ying Jing said with a smile, "Before when they took the initiative to communicate with you for the first time, you still put up defenses in every possible way, but now you want to see your master, and you are beating around the bush. .”

Li Ningfeng took it for granted, "Master didn't see me, of course he has his own reasons. How can an expert who travels all over the world have so much time to care about mundane things."

"I told you and you didn't understand."

Ying Jingjue: "Why don't you understand? I still know a little bit about Jianghu, Mr. Ximian is the master I admire."

"...Your Highness," Li Ningfeng smiled helplessly, "you go to the rivers and lakes and randomly find one or two people of our age. Who among them doesn't know Mr. Ximian? That is the number one immortal figure on the Jianghu Billboard—"

"careful!"

With a sharp voice, he pulled Ying Jingjue away, and the long sword came out of its sheath!

I saw dozens of archers protruding from the surrounding eaves, and arrows flew towards them like rain.

Ying Jing decided to wave, and said coldly: "Take them down!"

"Stay here, I'll catch a living!"

Li Ningfeng estimated the combat strength of both sides, flew up, stepped on the arrow feathers and rushed to the right.

A quarter of an hour later, some of the people they brought were lost, and the assassins who shot at them just now had all fallen to the ground.

He vomited black blood and died.

Ying Jing decided: "There is poison hidden in the mouth, and they are all dead men."

"Who do you think it's from?"

Ying Jingjue stood up slowly and looked at the house in front.

"Don't rush."

He waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately kicked open the door and went in.

This place is where they found the dirty money after so many days of investigation.A house hidden in the outskirts of the city was within the scope of the capital, but they searched in circles for a long time.

It was really dark under the lights.

The guard went in and rummaged for a while, and found dirty money in many places in the house.

"His Royal Highness! Found it!"

"It's here too!"

The boxes were carried out and placed in the center of the courtyard. When they were opened one by one, there were countless real gold, silver, copper plates, antiques and handwriting, all of which were priceless, not to mention the other pieces of jewelry and emeralds.

It ended up being almost full.

Li Ningfeng's eyes widened slightly: "... so many?!"

It's just a Nan'an township examination, so much money can be embezzled. Is it so easy to earn money for scholars? !

Ying Jingjue: "This is still a small amount. The military pay allocated by the imperial court to the frontier every year is even more serious. In fact, things in the army are better. In the year when the Jiangdong flood flooded, the relief food sent by the imperial court , In the bowls of ordinary people, there are only a few sparse grains of rice left.”

He pursed his lips, his eyes gradually became firmer, and his hands in his cuffs slowly tightened.

"If one day, I can..."

You can board the supreme dragon chair and gather power.

Li Ningfeng patted him on the shoulder: "Yes. Your Highness has done a good job now."

Ying Jingjue let out a breath, and answered his question just now: "The one who sneaked up just now is obviously someone who secretly followed our movements, so stupid, except for Brother Sanhuang, I don't think of him."

"Concubine Rou is also involved. This woman is really unscrupulous for her son." Li Ningfeng stretched.

But no matter what, the dirty money has been found, and under torture, many students who cheated were revealed by Nan'an's academics and government officials, who pulled out carrots and brought out mud.

Li Ningfeng glanced at his friend: "It ended smoothly, don't you seem very happy?"

Ying Jing decided to shake his head.

In the process of investigating the whereabouts of the dirty money, he found clues about the relationship with Lian Shenwei many times, but it just stopped after the investigation.

This house is also inextricably linked with him.

But all the collected clues can only point to him, even if all of them are brought out, it is still impossible to convict Lian Shenwei with his father's partiality.

But... I don't know if it's his illusion, but Ying Jingjue always feels that although the investigation of Nan'an has encountered many obstacles, it can be called smooth on the whole.

Many clues are small, but come in time.

It was as if someone was secretly manipulating and controlling all this, which made him feel like being led to investigate the case.

Ying Jing decided to press this inexplicable idea.

Even the things that Shenwei did, he remembered every single stroke, and he would just return them together in the future.The most important thing right now is the matter of Nan'an, and his two stupid emperor brothers.

"Take these things and go."

at the same time.

suburban border.

The chirping of insects is especially noticeable at night.

Ye Mingqin was not transferred to the Criminal Ministry, but went to Dali Temple.

Because of Lian Shenwei's relationship, she has resources, but she was often excluded. During the period of being an official, she gradually accumulated a group of her own team based on her ability.

But when she entered Dali Temple, she was assigned a meaningless job——

Check whether Luan Qingan has any personal acquaintances.

People in the capital knew that Luan Qingan's accusation of collaborating with the enemy and treason was laid down by Lian Shenwei, and it was a lie.Ye Mingqin was sent this job, and it was obvious that someone deliberately made things difficult.

Ye Mingqin wanted to be a good official. His brother-in-law once told her that she was her, and Lian Shenwei was Lian Shenwei. She was an individual first, and his righteous sister second.

In this sentence, she realized what a righteous brother tried to teach her:

Axioms are axioms, morality is morality, and human feelings are human feelings.

This is what she has figured out so far.

Law and emotion are distinct, and it is best not to contaminate each other.

Most of the people who worked with Ye Mingqin in the imperial prison had a unified evaluation of her: flexible and changeable, kind-hearted and cold-hearted.

Ye Mingqin can care about a person very gently, and can also handle the relationship with colleagues around her very well, but if someone among these people commits a crime, it happens to be within her jurisdiction.

She will provide relatively better cells, then lock people in without mercy and deal with them according to the law.

People who are not cold-hearted and ruthless cannot go up.

She has been following Wei Li's matter for a few days, and she is indeed innocent. If brother-in-law killed him, he broke the law. In fact, it is far more than Wei Li's matter...

This is contrary to what she has always insisted on in her heart.

The righteous brother is different from others. Without the righteous brother, there would be no Ye Mingqin today.I don't know if there will be a day when she finally chooses to stand on the opposite side of her brother-in-law.

Deep down in her heart, she didn't want to believe that her brother-in-law was as unbearable as those people said, so when dealing with matters related to Lian Shenwei, Ye Mingqin always put up 12 points of energy.

Even though Dali Temple sent her a hastily concluded collaborating with the Earl's Mansion of Shunchang, she still carried out the remaining investigation tasks very seriously.

Unexpectedly, this investigation really made her find out some clues.

Someone once saw a blind man named Ade who was blindfolded and haunted the Earl's Mansion many times. Because he was able to avoid road obstacles every time, some people still remembered it.

Ye Mingqin tracked down and found that the blind Ade had died on an outskirts road leading to nowhere. She opened the man's eyes to see——

He is indeed blind, with no eyes.

Broken leg, no healing, no medicine.But the fatal wound was only on the side of the neck, and it was murdered professionally.

Who would specifically kill a blind man?

Unless the blind man knows something he shouldn't.

Where she is now is an alley on the outskirts of the city.

It was dim and dull, and there were a few sporadic houses with dim kerosene lamps on.

From time to time, men with their trousers surreptitiously came out of these houses with the lights on.

This is a place for prostitutes to pick up customers. Some poor women or rabbit masters will rent a small house here. Every night, if they plan to pick up customers, they open the door and light the lights. Naturally, there will be people who steal Come here for the smell.

Sometimes the lights in the room stay on all night.

Of course, there are also some people who keep outhouses of humble origins here.

Prostitution/prostitution has been banned repeatedly, there is obviously someone behind, Ye Mingqin does not intend to directly confront the people here, she is here to find someone.

Turning into the alley with a few brothers, the sound of women and children screaming and arguing came from the innermost courtyard.

She stretched out her hand to push the door, and found that it was locked inside. Ye Mingqin stared blankly, took a few steps back, used her strength to fly up to the edge of the wall, and looked down.

A strong man was lying on top of the woman, speaking vulgar words.

"I just said that there is a big beauty hidden here, and no man comes to see you every day. Do you want you? Huh? You are raising a son for others, why don't you give me one?"

"Let me take good care of you!"

A little boy who was only four or five years old cried and beat the man, and was kicked away.

Ye Mingqin pulled out the scimitar from his waist, threw it with a cold face, nailed it precisely next to the strong man's right foot, and shouted: "Come on, kick the door!"

boom!

The door was kicked open, and the strong man was restrained. When he saw so many people, his fierce expression changed instantly, and he knelt down, trembling.

"Gag him, you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, boss, we will pull him out so that your eyes won't be dirty!"

The strong man was dragged out by force, with tears and snot running down his face.

Ye Mingqin dressed the woman, "Are you all right?"

The woman shook her head, and I felt pity: "My family is fine."

She glanced at Ye Mingqin timidly, pulled up the crying child on the ground, and shielded her behind her, "Excuse me, you..."

Ye Mingqin looked at her carefully, and didn't intend to use the oblique words she had prepared in her heart. She asked directly: "Are you the blind man Ade's wife?"

The woman froze for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head again.

"He... He actually bought me and hid me here, saying that I am the woman he bought, that is, his wife, but we are not married, so it shouldn't be counted."

"Is this your and Ade's child?"

The woman nods.

Ye Mingqin squatted down and glanced at the child behind the woman. Suddenly, her eyes froze.

The child's eyeballs are extremely light in color, obviously different from those of the Central Plains people, but more like...

Beiyi.

A child of the Northern Yi people.

This woman and Ade gave birth to a Beiyi species.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Mingqin remembered Ade's blind eyes, those eyes without eyeballs... A chill suddenly appeared on her back.

If she surmises correctly.

Naad is also from Beiyi.

Why do people from Beiyi appear around the Earl's Mansion of Shunchang, which is known for its integrity and integrity?

Ye Mingqin's heart was full of turmoil, but his face remained calm. He ordered his brothers to take the strong man away, and then smiled at the woman: "I'm Ade's friend. He has something to do recently, so he asked me to come over and take a look." , by the way, please come and live in my house."

The woman didn't have any deep thoughts, she complained for a moment, then packed her things and left with them.

Ye Mingqin personally watched her pack up her things, and after she left, she asked someone to search through the place, packed up all suspicious things, and went back to study.

She is now working, and it is inconvenient to live in the Prince Regent's Mansion. She has her own house outside, and it is convenient for her to arrange the woman in her residence.

The case at the Earl's Mansion of Shunchang has been closed to avoid complications. Before she finds out the truth of the matter, the mother and son cannot be known by others.

Brother...

Lian Shenwei's warm and smiling face when he killed people, and the curse words he heard every day when he went out to the street flashed in his mind.

Ye Mingqin lifted his foot and stepped over the threshold, with deep and sharp eyes, he walked forward quickly.

She wants to go through the case files of Dali Temple again.

late at night.

Regent House.

"Has the person who killed Ade found his whereabouts?"

Mingzhu: "Not yet."

Lian Shenwei wrote a letter back to Li Ning tonight, and Tiannan sent it to Zhuangzi, but he hasn't come back yet.

He took the medicine and felt sleepy. He leaned over the table and looked at the hand-painted map of the capital and its surroundings, "... There are people from Beiyi in the capital. After I killed Shunchang Earl's Mansion, Ade escaped in panic. The destination is the place where the person is hiding."

Li Ningfeng returned to the capital, the people from Beiyi in the capital will definitely do something, once they do, they will show their feet, and they must be found out as soon as possible.

The last place Ade fled to was the outer suburbs.

Could it be that his guess was wrong, that person was not hiding in the capital, but outside the imperial city?

Lian Shenwei found the approximate location of Ade's death on the map, tapped his fingertip lightly, and the fingertip was facing the place. There was a place on the edge of the map marked Foquan Temple.

Foquan Temple.

The sense of presence is very low, not as prosperous as other temples.

Something flashed through my mind for an instant.

Lian Shenwei missed it all at once, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress the drowsiness, he couldn't help propping his forehead with his fingers, and sighed: "What did Feng Ke add to the pill I took this time. "

Mingzhu: "It is said that you can take the medicine that will make you sleep soundly."

"...Okay, I'll go to bed."

Seeing the young man lying on the bed covered with a quilt, Mingzhu retreated respectfully, closed the door lightly, and guarded outside.

Know the sea.

After Gongdu's performance was broken, Xiao Guangtuan shouldered the task of pinching the plot points.

At this moment, it said worriedly: "Protagonist No. [-] is about to enter the sharpening period, you have to be prepared, lest the plot collapse, and he will be killed directly."

Hei Tuanzi didn't move, "..."

Xiao Guangtuan thought he was talking, and listened closely. After listening for a while, he realized that this guy had slept well, and made a slight snoring sound that is exclusive to Tuanzi.

Xiao Guangtuan: "..."

Loyalty Marquis Mansion.

When Li Ningfeng returned to the mansion, Uncle Liu still brought him porridge for several days in a row.

He checked and drank as usual, rinsed his mouth and rested.

The night is getting darker.

Cold sweat suddenly oozes from Li Ning's forehead.
