Chapter 219: Catching the Assassin
Judge Qin was completely bewildered.
Shocked and terrified.
It feels like there are millions of horses galloping in my heart.
Could it be that King Jing thought it was him who ordered it?
"Lord Qin, you know this man, right? Do you have anything else to say?" The murderous intent in King Jing's eyes was chilling.
"No...no..." Qin Tongpan hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't say the words he didn't recognize.
Wen Yuan has been flaunting herself in public for quite some time, and everyone knows that she is the Qin family's concubine.
King Jing stared at him, Prefect Cui also stared at him, and all the yamen runners and guards stared at him with their swords hilts in hand.
Staring at him very vigilantly.
Qin Tongpan could imagine that if he acted rashly, a sharp sword would soon be stabbed at him.
Stab him like a sieve.
He didn't dare to move an inch and sank to his knees. "Your Highness, this is unjust! This humble official is innocent. Although this woman is my concubine, she was sent here by Concubine Li. She is only staying in my house temporarily. I have no knowledge of what she has done."
"Even if I had a hundred guts, I would never do such a thing, Your Majesty."
That’s right, push it to Concubine Li.
Anyway, Prince Jing can't touch Concubine Li, and even the Queen can't do anything to Concubine Li.
Wen Yuan looked at Qin Tongpan in surprise.
She then glared at him with bloodshot eyes, cursing in her heart: Traitor, fence-sitter, you shall not die a good death!
She is the one who is most wronged.
I originally planned to secretly drug the doorman and then sneak out through the back door of Lu Garden.
As a result, the front and back doors were heavily guarded, with many guards on duty, so it was very difficult to sneak out. I had to find another way.
Then I saw a ladder leaning against the wall.
Judging from the direction, it should be the location of the stable next door, close to the back door, so it would be easier to escape.
They climbed up the ladder, reached the top of the wall and looked down.
It is indeed a stable.
Strangely, the stable was empty, with no horses and no people.
Quiet.
They carried the ladder over again and climbed down. As soon as they landed, they saw a huge monster rushing towards them.
He bit them all.
It's actually a wolf...
Then a number of men in black appeared from nowhere and knocked them unconscious.
As soon as he woke up, he was tied up and brought to him.
Her and her maid's clothes inexplicably turned into night clothes, and there was a bloody dagger beside them.
He inexplicably became an assassin.
The young man standing in front of her was dressed in white, his chest soaked in blood.
It turned out to be King Jing!
It seems that King Jing also recognized her...
She was Concubine Li's personal maid, and also one of the many concubine daughters born to the many concubine sons of the Wang family.
She has some knowledge of medicine and is good at mixing perfumes and using poisons.
That's why Concubine Li summoned her into the palace.
At this moment, her tendons were broken and she could no longer use poison.
It's like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
He just wanted to end his life as soon as possible to avoid the endless suffering, and he didn't want to implicate his mother who stayed in the capital.
Qin Tongpan just wanted to clear himself at this moment. As long as he could leave tonight, he would be able to explain everything clearly to Concubine Li and Prince Su.
They are grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
He holds the biggest leverage over Prince Su.
Madam and Concubine Li are blood relatives and share the same blood. He is confident that they will never turn against him for a little concubine's daughter.
Most importantly, he believed that Wen Yuan would take all the blame for her mother.
"Your Highness, you must believe in me... If anything happens to you in Jiangzhou, I will be to blame. How could I shoot myself in the foot?" Judge Qin knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
He felt that his analysis made sense.
Unexpectedly, King Jing did not follow his wishes and directly ordered Prefect Cui to take him away and put him in prison awaiting trial.
Wen Yuan was taken away by King Jing's men.
He suddenly realized...
King Jing returned to his house and took off his cloak.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he smirked and said, "Shishu, the wound you faked with chicken blood is quite realistic. You deserve a reward!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shi Shu pursed her lips. Actually, she had to thank the girl next door.
The next morning.
When Jiang Miaomiao finished washing up and came out to have breakfast, she found the atmosphere a bit weird and unusually quiet.
All the maids outside the dining room were sent elsewhere.
All those guarding the place were maids and guards brought by the Mu family, and they were all staying in the courtyard.
The hall door was closed.
"Xier, I want to go in and find my mother." No one stopped her from going in.
When I went in, I saw that the hall was full of people.
Almost the whole family was there, chatting while eating breakfast.
King Jing is here.
Even my godfather and uncle, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came.
The originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone looked at her with a smile, "Miaomiao is awake, come, eat something..."
"Miaomiao is amazing."
"Miaomiao is so smart."
Jiang Miaomiao quickly snuggled into her mother's arms, looking at everyone in a daze.
It was early in the morning and the enthusiasm came a little suddenly, and she was a little unable to adapt.
How come she is so awesome?
This time, she really didn't know what earth-shattering and heart-wrenching thing she had done.
Could it be that everyone was talking about her just now, and they were talking behind closed doors?
Could it be...
Could it be that they knew that she made her eldest brother eat insects and her second brother drink chicken blood?
But it’s not a big deal.
Seeing that she was confused, her mother explained to her.
It turned out that Aunt Xiuxiu was afraid that Jiang Xiaobai would scare those noble ladies, so she sent it next door.
Coincidentally, the stable next door was empty, so the little white wolf was put in there.
She was afraid that Xiaobai would be hungry, so she asked Xier to build a ladder and throw food to Xiaobai.
After throwing it away, he forgot to remove the ladder, so it fell into the hands of Qin Tongpan's concubine, which led to the story of King Jing being assassinated.
The assassination of King Jing was a serious crime.
They sent Qin Tongpan to prison without any effort.
Jiang Miaomiao was stunned when she heard this.
It turned out that the young lady did not go anywhere else, but went to the next door, and was caught by Jiang Xiaobai!
Well, it wasn't her who did the credit, it was the ladder.
She has to keep it well, maybe it will be of great use in the future.
Mother looked at Prince Jing with anticipation, "Your Highness, without their leader, the rebels in Jiangzhou are a loose bunch. I'm afraid their replacement won't arrive soon. Why don't we take this opportunity to wipe them out..."
In this way, maybe my parents can still make it back to celebrate the New Year.
Prince Jing nodded. "Madam Lu is right. What do the Duke and the Shaoqing think?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yunji and Yan Huan.
Those who should be arrested have been arrested, and those who should be tried have been tried.
It's time.
Mu Yunji pondered and said, "Then we should close the net as soon as possible, but we can't let the capital know about it for the time being..."
He and his men were not in the capital, fearing that Prince Su would become desperate and do something desperate.
King Jing nodded in agreement. "Then I will take King Liang and his family back to the capital, and I will also bring Judge Qin back to my father for his punishment."
Without these big Buddha statues in Jiangzhou, Prince Su and his party might feel more at ease.
Furthermore, the Crown Prince seemed to be unwell, and the Queen Mother kept urging him to return to the capital without explaining the reason.
The matter of the imperial sister's offspring also needs to be investigated thoroughly.
Although she hesitated in the letter, one thing is certain now.
Cao Jiayue is not the biological daughter of the imperial sister.
