BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42: Luo Du is over
But no matter what, she has to be prevented from going to the capital right now.
Shen Mingjiao stepped forward to hold Mrs. Zhao\'s hand tentatively, and found that the other\'s hand was very cold. She paused in her heart,
"Let\'s go ashore first, His Highness has already brought Mr. Zhao over."
Mrs. Zhao reacted suddenly when she heard the words, she grabbed Shen Mingjiao\'s wrist: "Don\'t grab him, it\'s me... the murderer is me... cough cough..."
Because I was too excited. She bent over and coughed heart-piercingly.
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly patted her on the back. He tilted his head and gestured towards the iron pillar.
After Mrs. Zhao finally recovered, she hurriedly said, "I..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a numbness in his back, and then his eyes darkened and he fell down slowly.
Tie Zhu withdrew his hand, and Shen Mingjiao hurriedly supported him. Signal the boatman to paddle ashore.
It\'s because Mrs. Zhao has such abilities, and she is not in good health. She is afraid that something will happen if she stays on the boat.
Waiting for the boat to dock, they came to a nearby guest house. Mrs. Zhao woke up leisurely.
She grabbed the mattress and stood up with difficulty: "Princess Su, tell His Highness Su Wang to let him release Zhao Ke. I did all of this..."
Zhao Ke, who was being carried over by Feng Lisheng, suddenly froze when he heard this.
Shen Mingjiao poured her a cup of tea: "Don\'t worry, speak slowly."
Madam Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Shen Mingjiao: "As for hypnotism, I think the princess already has some understanding."
"Hypnotism is a kind of witchcraft, but it also has levels. It is different from other witchcraft, especially high-level hypnotism relies on one\'s own talent. It may be difficult to find a person with such a talent in decades, but There are high and low levels of such talent.
The hypnosis technique learned by picking lotus is only elementary, and can only control some weak-willed people and some animals.
So that night, when I learned about Zhao Ke\'s plan, I quietly followed the two of them to Fang\'s richest man\'s house, and when Cailian\'s hypnosis failed, I was the one who helped them control everyone in the mansion."
Although she had already guessed it, Shen Mingjiao still felt a little unbelievable when she heard it from her own mouth. There really is such a person in this world who has sacrificed so much for love.
She couldn\'t help asking: "Does Zhao Ke know?"
Madam Zhao lowered her eyes: "He doesn\'t know."
"When the families of Jia Tongpan and Xu Tongzhi were killed, they obviously took precautions. With Cailian\'s ability, it was impossible to centrally control those people. In order to avoid Zhao Ke\'s accident, I went to the two families in advance and used hypnosis to control them. The dog killed everyone. When Zhao Ke and Cailian came over, they used hypnotism to tamper with their memories."
"As for the case of Ku Yin\'s disappearance, I was the one who arrived at the scene ahead of time and used the same method to kill the soldiers guarding the treasury. Then I falsified the memories of Zhao Ke and the others."
Shen Mingjiao: "What happened to the half jade pendant that was torn off from the soldier\'s hand?"
Madam Zhao shook her head: "I don\'t know,"
Feng Lisheng, who was separated by a wall, glanced at Zhao Ke who was in disbelief and pain, and directly clicked his dumb acupoint.
After figuring out the whole story, it is easy to understand that the half of the net was deliberately left by Zhao Ke. The purpose is to let the people who came to investigate the case follow the clues to find Cailian.
Because if the case has not progressed. Maybe the emperor\'s brother will directly kill all the officials in Luodu in a fit of anger.
Such a result is obviously not what Zhao Ke wants. He not only wants to use this matter to depose all the officials in Luodu, but also uses Ku Yin to threaten the emperor\'s brother to set up a crime against himself.
Push Cailian out in a timely manner, so as to buy him time to go to the capital.
After listening to her, Shen Mingjiao asked her again: "Is it worth it?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled softly: "There is no value or not, only willingness or not."
"Actually, I knew from the very beginning that he was not the real Zhao Ke, but so what! Knowing that Cailian and the real Zhao Ke had impure intentions, I still agreed to marry him.
I\'m just hoping, hoping that he might come back one day..."
Ms. Zhao covered her lips and coughed lightly, her eyes were hurt: "He really came back later, but...he seems to have forgotten me,"
She sat weakly on the head of the bed, and sighed: "It doesn\'t matter if you forget me, as long as I can look at him from time to time, I will be satisfied..."
The door was pushed open abruptly, and her words stopped abruptly. Staring blankly at Zhao Ke who rushed in with red eyes.
Zhao Ke looked at her pale and weak face, and recalled that year in a trance, under the burning peony flowers, the girl\'s light and bright smile, she said her name was Jiang Susu, and said that he would be her husband when they met again in the future.
I didn\'t know her identity at the time, it was just a bold show of love from a little girl.
He blushed, and his heart was beating like a thunderous drum. He secretly made up his mind to follow His Highness the Crown Prince and find a future. If he could marry that girl, at least he would keep her safe for the rest of her life.
It was only later... When we met again, she was already Zhao Ke\'s wife, and at that time he crawled out of the mud with a blood feud on his back.
Occasionally when he sees her secretly looking at him, his heart will also flash with reluctance and distress,
But loyalty and righteousness are difficult to balance. Since he chose to avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is doomed to a road of no return. He can\'t hurt her selfishly.
At this time, the woman on the couch suddenly asked softly:
"Zhao Ke, have you... have you ever... liked me a little..."
After she finished speaking, a pair of beautiful obsidian eyes stared at him stubbornly.
Zhao Ke turned his face away, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said lightly: "No, I have never liked you, not before, and not in the future."
After speaking, she lowered her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, and suppressed the soreness in her eyes.
A person who is doomed to die, how qualified is he to talk about liking?
When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, although it was the expected answer, deep disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Wouldn\'t he even want to lie to himself?
She raised her head suddenly, glanced at Zhao Ke for the last time, then got out of bed with difficulty, and knelt down slowly in front of Feng Lisheng:
"His Royal Highness Su, the woman is willing to plead guilty, and everything is done by the woman alone. I beg Your Highness to take Zhao Ke lightly."
Feng Lisheng glanced at her, and ordered in a soft voice: "Press her down."
Zhao Ke rushed over fiercely, and shouted anxiously: "Are you crazy?"
Seeing Mrs. Zhao being carried out, he glared at Feng Lisheng fiercely: "What evidence do you have to arrest her?"
Feng Lisheng glanced at him: "She has admitted it herself, and this is the best evidence. Besides, neither you nor him can escape."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to walk out the door, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"Let her go, I will tell you the whereabouts of Ku Yin."
Feng Lisheng\'s eyes moved slightly, and he waved his hand at Tie Zhu.
Madam Zhao turned her head. Looking at him lightly, "No need..."
After speaking, it seemed that he could no longer hold on, and slowly fell down.
Zhao Ke completely panicked seeing this.
Shen Mingjiao had an ominous premonition in her heart, and hurriedly urged Tie Zhu to invite a doctor.
Fortunately, there is a medical clinic nearby. Not long after, an old man with gray hair came in with a medicine box on his back. Glancing at Mrs. Zhao\'s face, she raised her hand to feel her pulse, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, she withdrew her hand after a while, sighed and said:
"You guys prepare for the funeral! This lady\'s heart veins have been severely damaged, and she is already running out of fuel!"
Zhao Ke felt like a bolt from the blue, looking at Mrs. Zhao who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, vaguely seemed to see the scene where His Highness the Crown Prince was covered in blood and fell silently:
"How could this be... She is obviously in good health..."
Shen Mingjiao was also a little uncomfortable, although she knew it. After doing these things, Mrs. Zhao will definitely die in the end, but after all, they met each other once.
She asked the doctor: "Is there no other way?"
The doctor shook his head, turned and left.
Shen Mingjiao passed by Zhao Ke, and said lightly:
"If I had known today, why bother. The reason why she did this should be because she had overdrawn too much ability and suffered backlash. That is to say, he lost his life to help you."
Not long after, Mrs. Zhao woke up slowly. Regarding her physical condition, she was very calm: "I killed so many innocent people, so I will naturally suffer backlash. This is the punishment I deserve."
She turned her head to look at Zhao Ke with red eyes, and said with a light smile, "It\'s worth it to see you cry for me once in this lifetime."
She coughed lightly and vomited a mouthful of blood: "You have done what you should do for your highness, can you promise me that if you can, live a good life for yourself."
Zhao Ke smiled wryly, he had already taken poison before, and his life was less than three days left, so why talk about the future!
Knowing that he had no way out, he turned his head and knelt down in front of Feng Lisheng,
"Can the prince tell me the truth, whether the death of His Highness the Crown Prince is related to the emperor, so I can explain to His Highness when I go underground."
Feng Lisheng shook his head firmly without hesitation: "Even though Brother Huang doesn\'t like Qi You\'s decisiveness, he will never kill his own son. As for the murderer who killed Qi You, I promise you that he will be killed in his lifetime." , who will be apprehended and brought to justice.”
Even if there is no such thing, he has been tracking down the murderer who killed Qi You, and he has an intuition that Qi You\'s death is likely to be related to the palace change in the past 25 years, that is, King Yu who is far away in Jingzhou. .
Zhao Ke leaned against Mrs. Zhao\'s couch, and said softly: "Okay, I believe you, if you can\'t do it, I will curse you for never being liked by the one you love."
Shen Mingjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself that your curse is quite effective.
Feng Lisheng likes Su Qing, and Su Qing only likes someone who can be an emperor, so it\'s true that he will never be liked by his beloved.
Feng Lisheng subconsciously glanced at Shen Mingjiao when he heard the words, feeling a little unhappy.
But I heard Zhao Ke continue: "As for where is Ku Yinzang?"
He straightened up, and said seriously: "I want you to swear that every tael of these silvers must be used for practical purposes, otherwise, even if it is death, I will not say anything."
Hearing this, Feng Lisheng couldn\'t help but feel a little moved. Although Zhao Ke acted extreme, it almost caused a catastrophe. But there is no doubt about his sincerity towards Qi You.
He nodded: "Okay, I swear!"
Zhao Ke raised his hand to stop him, glanced at Shen Mingjiao, and said coldly: "I want you to swear on the safety of Princess Su?"
Feng Lisheng didn\'t want to refuse flatly: "No."
Although he doesn\'t believe in fate, he will never make fun of Shen Mingjiao\'s safety.
After speaking, he raised his hand and swore a poisonous oath with his own life.
Shen Mingjiao doesn\'t care, it\'s not that she doesn\'t believe in the promise, she just has confidence in Feng Lisheng, since he agreed. Will definitely do my best.
Zhao Ke glanced at the two of them, but didn\'t say anything, and simply said where to put the money.
"I buried the silver under the mine in the south of the city."
Feng Lisheng immediately ordered someone to look for it, and half an hour later, the person he sent came back. It is true that a box of official silver was dug in a mine.
Zhao Ke asked Feng Lisheng: "I don\'t have much time. In the end, I want to stay with Susu well. If you are worried, you can send someone to lock us up together."
Feng Lisheng glanced at the two of them: "Whatever."
After speaking, he directly led the people out. Now that the case has been clarified, he still has to deal with some follow-up matters, especially the batch of official bankers.
However, since this case involves Qi You and Brother Huang, it will not be published in a dossier. It is still said that Jiangyang Bandits imitated monsters to commit crimes.
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand why Brother Huang sent him to investigate this case alone, maybe Brother Huang already knew something.
In the room, Shen Mingjiao summoned the maid from the inn, telling Mrs. Zhao to order anything.
After all, she got to know each other once, and that\'s all she can do.
Mrs. Zhao thanked her softly, and finally said to her:
"You must read the book I gave you after you go back. Your talent is even higher than mine. But remember, don\'t use it to harm others, otherwise you will see my fate."
Shen Mingjiao nodded her thanks.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to get up, Zhao Ke directly picked her up.
In these few days, he wants to do his best to treat Susu well. If there is a next life, he will definitely find Susu early and treat her well for the rest of his life.
Ms. Zhao looked up at the man\'s gentle and handsome profile. Slowly laughing, a paranoid light flashed in his eyes.
Finally... this man can only pretend to be her!
Shen Mingjiao accidentally caught a glimpse, and in a flash, she seemed to understand everything. She just felt a chill. Hastily left the guest house.
On the way, she suddenly thought that in her previous life, she seemed to have heard that there was a woman from Luodu beating the Dengwen drum.
It’s just that before knocking on the Dengwen drum, you have to bear fifty boards. Later, I heard that the woman Lian didn’t survive ten boards and was beaten to death. Her husband hurried over, looked at her body, and then laughed and went crazy up.
