Chapters 90 - 90

Hearing Shi Jiu's words, Xia Yue bit her red lips lightly, "Could it be that we're really going to let them escape?"

Shi Jiu's heart sank, this was what she was most worried about, outside the Jinling, the sky was wide and the ground was vast, there were plenty of places to hide, even if the Camping went all out, it would still be hard to find.

Mu Qian Xue lowered her head and stared at the deep red liquid in the blue and white porcelain cup, she didn't know what she was thinking about, but a red candle on the table had burned for a long time, so the black candle wick was curled up, causing the light of the flame to become much dimmer. From time to time, sounds of wind could be heard from the outside, it seemed that it would rain again at night.

"How's the situation with the Yi Cui Shu?"

"Yesterday night, the messenger king's men had all left. When I passed by, I saw that they had already started receiving customers."

"Withdraw? "Why?" Mu Qian Xue asked in shock. According to her previous deduction, if they did not find out what happened with the Yi Cui Shu, the Xin Wang and the others would definitely not leave.

Shi Jiu explained everything he heard, then said: "The Duke Xin dug out a white bone and a Tung Ling Blade at Ox-Head Mountain, proving that Jing Yu was not lying. The Yi Cui Shu was plotted against by the oriental, and so they ordered them to leave."

"Wang Liang... Wei Jing Cheng... " Mu Qian Xue slowly said these two names. After muttering those two names a few times, her lips slightly hooked up with an indifferent smile, "I now roughly know who is controlling the Yi Cui Shu behind the scenes. As expected, he used this method to replace them."

"Who?" Under Shi Jiu's surprised gaze, Mu Qian Xue slowly said two words, "Emperor Zhou!"

"Your Majesty?" Shi Jiu and Xia Yue cried out at the same time, they never expected that it would actually be Dong Fang Hui. After Xia Yue recovered from her shock, she shook her head continuously, "Yi Cui Shu is a brothel of brothels, as the ruler of everything, how could Your Majesty be related to it? Although Shi Jiu did not say anything, looking at her expression, it was clear that he had the same thoughts as Xia Yue.

"Forget about Wei Jing Cheng, but Wang Liang is the Tutor from the past three dynasties, do you think that anyone other than the Emperor Zhou would be able to touch him?"

"Wang Liang went to the Yi Cui Shu because he heard Jing Yu talk about what happened two years ago.

Mu Qian Xue smiled slightly, "What status does Wang Liang have? Why would he go to Yi Cui Shu with just a few words? Jing Yu... To put it bluntly, it is merely a chess piece that can make it easy for Wang Liang to meddle in the affairs of the Yi Cui Shu. "

"That's impossible, Jing Yu marrying into the Prince's Mansion was a year ago, unless the Your Majesty was able to predict the future, how would he know a year from now?"

Mu Qian Xue did not answer her, but instead said, "Yi Cui Shu has been in the capital for seven years. In these seven years, I presume that there isn't only a single virtuous woman, Jing Yu, right?"

"Of course, ask …" Halfway through his words, Shi Jiu's face suddenly changed, "Do you think that the women of Yi Cui Shu are premeditated?"

Mu Qian Xue nodded and said: "Just as you have said, the Emperor Zhou is a ruler of the nine or five nations, and must not be connected to the Yi Cui Shu. In this kind of situation, if you want to protect the Yi Cui Shu in the capital, the best way is to marry those women into your concubines and form a hidden force;

Shi Jiu thought for a moment, then said: "That means, Wang Liang and Wei Jing Cheng are both Your Majesty's trusted aides?"

"One is a renowned Imperial Tutor, and the other is the one in control of the capital city and its environs. If we do not enlist the two of them under our command, how could the Emperor Zhou stay peacefully in the Zhaoming Palace? For the same reason, the commander of the Patrol Battalion must also be one of Emperor Zhou's trusted aides."

Shi Jiu remained silent. In the previous investigations, Wang Liang and Wei Jing Cheng were not related to either the Emperor Zhou or the Weiss family, but now it seems that their hands were longer than he had thought.

"So this means that the Tung Ling knows of the relationship between the Emperor Zhou and herself, and wants to borrow the hands of the kings to expose this matter, but what benefits does this have to them? Just to ruin Emperor Zhou's reputation? "

Mu Qian Xue took a sip of the sour plum soup which had already turned warm, and said seriously: "Have you searched every single household in Jinling?"

Shi Jiu said with certainty: "Yes, I searched door to door, even the abandoned houses and old houses." In order to investigate this matter, Dong Fang Su had specially sent twenty The people of the god's camp s to investigate this matter day and night.

"Where are the official palaces?"

"That's true." As she spoke, Shi Jiu guessed her meaning, "Could it be that you suspect that the Tung Ling assassins were hiding in the residence of the Duke in the capital?"

Mu Qian Xue stood up and walked over to the tightly closed window. Other than the howling and fierce wind outside, there was also the rustling of leaves as the rain continued to fall, which was getting louder and louder. It was obvious that there was going to be another heavy rain tonight.

"I told Xia Yue to ask the soldiers guarding the four city gates at that time, they all said that during the time it took to stab the city gates to close, they did not see anyone with suspicious movements out of the city, nor did they see anything similar to this cherry blossom pendant, so I had reason to believe that they were still in the city, and were only hiding in a place that no one could have thought of."

Shi Jiu frowned: "If that's really the case, then aren't there Tung Ling spies in the court?"

"Or... Not a courtier. " This sentence made Shi Jiu's eyelids jump, what he did not search was the Duke Palace, otherwise, it would be the Duke Palace, with the royal family colluding with the Tung Ling, this …. How is this possible?

The moment Shi Jiu's lips moved, Mu Qian Xue had already seen through her thoughts, "I know that the Dazhou and the Tung Ling are enemies for generations, and a war even broke out four years ago. But Shi Jiu, if you carefully think about it, what would the world think if they knew that the Yi Cui Shu is owned by the Emperor Zhou?"

This time, Xia Yue was extremely quick-witted, and immediately continued: "They will definitely think that the Emperor Zhou is hypocritical, to the extreme. Even if they do not say anything, in their hearts, they will think that he is not worthy to be the Dazhou's Sovereign."

Mu Qian Xue nodded her head in approval, "That is the truth, and with Emperor Zhou as a person, there is definitely more than one Yi Cui Shu in the dark in your hand. Once all of them are pulled out, the Emperor Zhou will not be able to sit still."

"Who could it be?"

"Whoever gains the most in this matter will most likely be the person hiding behind the scenes."

Shi Jiu lowered his head to think for a moment, then nodded and said, "I got it, I will go and notify Shi Wu and the others to keep track of the Letter King!" After saying this, she turned around to leave. Just as she was about to walk to the door, his legs suddenly felt weak. He could not help but kneel on the ground.

Seeing her like that, Xia Yue did not care about the unhappiness between them, and immediately went forward to support her, "What happened to you?"

"I suddenly feel dizzy. I'm fine." Shi Jiu replied as he struggled to stand up with Xia Yue's support.
