Spring Water Cold
Fei Ru said: "When Lord Jie was appointed as the Minister of Justice, he was less than 20 years old, making him the youngest Minister of Justice in Dongyuan. He was born in a commoner family, but he has the current position. Guess what he relies on?" Prime Minister He
was silent. Other positions are easy to say, but the position of the Minister of Justice is a position that can only be held by capable people. The Ministry of Justice is of great importance. If there is no capable person in charge, and a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases are made, Dongyuan will lose face, and the people will not accept it. The Minister of Justice in the past dynasties has never been a freeloader. To be promoted at the age of less than 20, it can only mean that this person is extremely capable and is deeply appreciated by the emperor.
He was silent for a while, then said, "Then tell me what you think."
Jie Gui said, "First of all, the first question is why did Miss He go to Changfeng Garden alone. She wrote the letter, she made the appointment, and she went alone. Just as that gentleman said... she just wanted to be pushed into the water!" "
You..." Prime Minister He was furious, "She is afraid of water, why would she want to be pushed into the water?"
"That's the problem. If a person who is afraid of water is pushed into the water, what will be the consequences for the person who pushed her? Will everyone think that this person is vicious?" Jie Gui said seriously, "So Miss He's original plan was to trick Luo Qing to the lake and let her push her into the water... Of course, if she refused to push, she would jump in herself, so that everyone would think that Luo Qing was a vicious person. No, she wanted the Second Prince to think that Luo Qing was vicious and stay away from her, because she wanted to marry the Second Prince."
Prime Minister He's face flushed, and he wanted to get angry but held back.
He thought that his daughter was indeed such a person. If He Wanying did such a thing, he, as a father, would not find it strange at all.
As a father, he still wanted to know the truth about his daughter's death.
Jie Gui continued, "If this logic is followed, then Miss He would definitely find someone to save her. She is afraid of water, and someone must rescue her as soon as she falls into the water. If someone who is afraid of water is willing to jump into the lake, then the person who was agreed upon in advance must be someone she trusts."
"That's why she went there alone yesterday. In fact, she was not alone. The person she trusted was already waiting for her there. But the problem is, Luo Qing didn't receive the letter at all, she wouldn't come, so why did Miss He jump into the water?"
When he said this, Prime Minister He immediately thought of it, his voice trembling, "The person she trusted... pushed her into the water?"
Jie Gui nodded, "Yes, secretly placing the note was the first step, and pushing her into the water was the second step. This person didn't want to help Miss He frame Luo Qing and accuse her of pushing someone into the water. Instead, he planned to kill Miss He and frame Luo Qing and make her bear the crime of murder. Changfeng Garden is so big and there are so few servants, it's not difficult to climb over the wall and sneak in."
"Then the question is, if we do this... who will be the beneficiary?"
"Who will benefit if Miss He dies?"
Prime Minister He shook his head. "No one will benefit. Perhaps my political enemies will be happy... I only have this one daughter, and I didn't compete with her for the family property. If she dies, it's hard to say who will get my family property, and my nephews and nieces won't kill people for this possibility."
Jie Gui said, "Indeed, Miss He is just a girl who knows nothing. Even if she is a little bit unruly, people won't hate her to the point of wanting her dead. Then there is only one possibility left... The murderer killed her simply to frame Luo Qing. The question is, who can benefit from it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jin immediately turned his gaze to Zhu Rui.
Zhu Rui took a step back, "Why are you looking at me?"
Luo Jin's voice was cold, "Why did you catch me in the middle of the night? If you caught me at that time, where did you want to take me? The person in this world who wants me dead the most is that person..."
Zhu Rui subconsciously took another step back, "I don't understand what you are saying. I found the body in the middle of the night, so of course I went to catch you in the middle of the night."
Luo Jin's voice became colder, "Your master wants you to harm me, but did she tell you why she didn't do it herself? Does she not want to... or can't do it?"
Zhu Rui stammered, "She... is not right, what are you talking about? My master is of course His Majesty, are you crazy?"
Luo Jin turned his head to look at He Xiao and winked at him.
He Xiao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Rui's arm. Zhu Rui tried to struggle, but he took advantage of the situation and grabbed his other arm, twisting his hands behind his back.
"How dare you..." Zhu Rui shouted, "Your Majesty, they dared to lynch me in this court! What evidence do you have to dare to attack me?"
Luo Jin walked forward slowly, stretched out a finger, and tapped Zhu Rui's forehead.
The next moment, Zhu Rui suddenly screamed, and the scream was shrill, as if he was in great pain.
The emperor was stunned. "What's going on? What did you do, Luo Qing?"
Luo Jin hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty, please allow me to report this matter in private. People who are not related to the case should not know about it."
The emperor nodded. "You all follow me to the study."
He Xiao then carried Zhu Rui into the study. Luo Jin and Prime Minister He, who had not yet figured out the situation, followed closely behind. Jie Gui and Fei Ru also followed in.
After closing the door, Jie Gui had figured it out, so he said, "There is a kind of insect in this man's body, which was refined by Queen Mother Zhou of Hanyuan. This insect can control people and can also greatly increase people's power. I have seen this insect before during the dwarf slave case. Luo Qing just controlled the insect in his body to make it restless, which is why he is in unbearable pain. Your Majesty, this insect is the evidence. He is a spy of Hanyuan, and he is the murderer of Miss He."
Although Prime Minister He had guessed it just now, he was shocked to hear this with his own ears. The conclusion was still hard to believe. He pointed at Zhu Rui with a trembling hand, "Really... it's you? She has always respected you and believed in you. How could you..."
Zhu Rui struggled, "I didn't! It was Lord Luo who tortured me with his inner strength, so I felt so much pain. I'm not a snake at all! She's talking nonsense!"
Luo Jin snorted coldly, "Empress Dowager Zhou asked you to hurt me. Didn't she tell you the reason?"
She suddenly swung a knife and cut a wound on the back of Zhu Rui's head, and then put her hand on his neck. Not long after, a bug crawled out of the wound and fell to the ground without moving.
Prime Minister He's pupils shrank, and he immediately rushed towards Zhu Rui like a madman, "You beast! I have always supported you and treated you so well... She also respected you so much, how could you do
that to her! Why!" Zhu Rui had no strength left in his body, and he fell to the ground after being thrown by him. Prime Minister He swung his fists and hit him like raindrops.
He Xiao watched from the side and did not stop him. He did not move until the emperor spoke. It was not until a long time later that the emperor said, "Okay, Prime Minister, go back and rest first, don't get angry and hurt yourself."
He Xiao then pulled Prime Minister He up.
Although Prime Minister He was old, he was really fierce in his punches. Zhu Rui was beaten black and blue and lay on the ground unable to get up.
The emperor sighed and said, "Jie Gui, take Zhu Rui back to the Ministry of Justice and interrogate him carefully to see if you can get anything useful out of him."
Jie Gui said, "Yes."
Then he took Zhu Rui away.
The emperor said, "Lord Luo, I'm sorry for what happened today. Fortunately, Minister Jie is a master at solving cases. I never thought that the people around me could be controlled by Han Yuan. Recently, Han Yuan soldiers are ready to make a move. I'm afraid that the days of peace will not last long."
Luo Jin said, "Dong Yuan has General He, so we are not afraid of Han Yuan."
She remembered that the main plot would begin next. He Xiao was going to fight Han Yuan, and Feng Lingruo would also join in. The male and female protagonists met officially, and their feelings grew stronger in the joint battle. Finally, after a great victory, the two confirmed their relationship, and then there was a happy and happy ending.
As long as you enter the main plot, things will go according to the plot, and there is nothing to worry about. With the halo of the protagonist, the male and female protagonists are invincible, and the two of them together are even more BUG-level existence, killing gods and Buddhas.
The emperor glanced at Fei Ru, "Did this old guy tell you something about the great astrologer? Astrology is useless, but the great astrologer is useful?"
Luo Jin smiled, "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor snorted, "He has always thought that the astrologers in Dongyuan are all garbage, and the astrologers in the whole mainland are all garbage, only the great astrologer is a god. Even if it is a great astrologer, doesn't he also observe the stars to predict the future? What's the difference?"
Luo Jin thought that he is the author, so he doesn't need to observe the stars.
"Okay," the emperor said, "If you want to help him investigate, then go ahead, but your job cannot be delayed."
Luo Jin said, "Yes."
The emperor looked reluctant, and it was obvious that he and Fei Ru had different opinions on this.
A few days later, Prime Minister He proposed to retire and return to his hometown, no longer continuing to serve as prime minister. The emperor did not say much, rewarded him with some money, and allowed him to return to his hometown to retire.
He seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days, and his originally gray hair turned into gray hair. The loss of his only daughter was a big blow to him. He had worked hard in the officialdom all his life, but now he felt that it was meaningless.
Luo Jin went back and ordered his men to find all the information about Luo Xin, but the sea of books was so vast that he had no idea for a while.
A month later, Han Yuan attacked Donglin City, the garrison in the north of Dong Yuan, and the two countries finally fought. After resting for a while, He Xiao was finally sent to the battlefield again.
The day before He Xiao went to the battlefield, he came to Moyuan to find Luo Jin.
In fact, even if he didn't come to find her, she would also want to find him.
She remembered that He Xiao's army would encounter some troubles during the expedition, and wanted to remind him.
He Xiao handed a big gold chain to Luo Jin, "It was given by the emperor. It's too heavy and a waste... I'll give it to you."
Luo Jin was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes, "I like this kind of waste!"
She thought for a while, "As the saying goes, food and grass are good before the troops move. If there is a problem with this food and grass, it will not be good... The general must be careful."
He Xiao said "hmm".
[I don't know if he understood. ]
[His food transport officer was a corrupt official who fed the soldiers moldy rice. They were collectively poisoned by food and missed the opportunity to fight. ]
[Because of him, He Xiao fell into passivity for a long time. Fortunately, the heroine came to the rescue. ]
[If this corrupt official had been eliminated earlier, a lot of trouble would have been saved. ]
[It would be good if he understood. If he doesn't understand... I will hint to the prince again? 】
He Xiao smiled faintly, "Take care, Luo Qing, I'm leaving."
Luo Jin also smiled back, "I wish the general a successful start!"
