[One hundred and thirty eight] Border Town Secret Order
What happened back then is probably impossible to hide. If it was made public in the palace at this moment... everything he has worked hard for many years will be ruined.
So, Deng Qing began to hysterically obstruct Jiang Chengyi and told the truth: "Who is surnamed Jiang, what's going on? On this southern palace, it's about the case of Su Ren being robbed, and it's about the incident of the explosion that year. What are you talking about in the past here?"
"What's wrong with General Deng? He is so depressed and angry?" Jiang Chengyi saw that he roared with him completely regardless of his image, and then said sarcastically, "The case I mentioned below involves your uncle Deng Ling... Don't you want to know who harmed him back then?"
"The case that year has been settled, and the murderer has long been arrested and beheaded. Are you here now? Are you going to reverse what is right and wrong? " Deng Qing was so afraid that he would tell the truth, his heart became more and more panicked and his words became more and more intense.
"I have already said below that the person who was caught in this case was just a scapegoat for the master behind the scenes. Did General Deng not hear what he said clearly? Or... you don't want to know who killed your uncle?" Jiang Chengyi forced him little by little, causing him to be in chaos.
Just as Deng Qing wanted to continue refuting, Deng Guozhong, who was kneeling beside him, suddenly said, "Jiang Zhusi. The government has already concluded the case of my son being poisoned in Lanxin Tower, and it is definitely not as complicated and difficult to distinguish as you said. What is the purpose of mentioning this case when Your Majesty was deciding? Are you trying to divert everyone's attention and cover up something?"
While Deng Guozhong spoke, he held a gun and a stick, and protected Deng Qing with a tough attitude.
Jiang Chengyi asked: "Is the old lieutenant not planning to know the real murderer of the Lan Xinlou case back then?"
"What's the use of knowing it or not? My son has passed away and has returned to the underworld. It's meaningless to investigate and investigate this matter."
Deng Guozhong refuted his question coldly and decided to say: "I hope that Master Jiang will use my son's affairs as a guise to divert everyone's attention. If you do something wrong, Your Majesty will be wise and can always check it out clearly."
When Emperor Wei heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Jiang Chengyi, with some doubt in his eyes.
Deng Guozhong's words were extremely sharp. His few words made him feel worried in the emperor's heart and turned his attention to Jiang Chengyi.
However, Jiang Chengyi was not a man who could mercy and laughed coldly: "The old lieutenant said exactly... It's just that His Majesty asked me why he laughed. I have to solve his doubts for him, right? I hope the old lieutenant would be more patient. You and General Deng don't want to listen to what happened back then, but it doesn't mean that His Majesty doesn't want to know."
He turned his eyes to the young emperor on the stairs, with dark and deep eyes.
Emperor Wei looked at him for a moment, supported his head with interest, and snorted coldly: "You are the one who is the best at provoking trouble. Not bad. The case was settled too hasty, and I have always been doubtful. I always feel that the person sentenced is not the real murderer. Now, since you have mentioned this old thing again, you must make it clear to me."
Seeing that Emperor Wei gave him a step, Jiang Chengyi immediately went downstairs and bowed and said, "In this way, I will continue to discuss this case on your order."
Deng Guozhong frowned, his knees quickly moved forward two steps, shouting to the Emperor of Wei: "Your Majesty... It is the most important thing to calm the rebellion in the capital. I am willing to resolve the current predicament for Your Majesty and redeem your sins... I hope Your Majesty will convict me earlier to comfort the hearts of the subjects!"
He was anxious to stop Jiang Chengyi from continuing to talk.
Emperor Wei reached out to stop him and said, "Taiwei Deng. This case is at least related to Taichangqing. Even if you don't want to pursue it, I don't want to let go of the real murderer behind the scenes."
Deng Guozhong's words were blocked like this, so he had to let Jiang Chengyi control the current situation and lowered his head helplessly.
Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Qing, please continue to talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Chengyi bent over and bowed, then curled his lips slightly and continued, "If you want to talk about this poisoning case back then... it is just inseparable from Chen Wu, who is involved in the prison robbery case today."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wei immediately frowned his eyebrows and held his breath to continue listening to him.
"I also discovered by chance. Chen Wu has a special business line, which specializes in the poison that erodes the lungs and kills people and kills people and kills people. This medicine powder is only circulated in the black market, and has been secretly managed by Chen Wu. Even this poison was made by Chen Wu's subordinates.
You said it was a coincidence that when I followed this line to investigate, I happened to find that the poison he secretly sold was the gravel slags recorded in the Lanxinlou poisoning document back then. This medicine is a strange poison, and it is rarely circulated in the world and the people, and it is difficult to buy. Back then, when the gravel slags appeared in the world, Shuige spent a lot of effort to investigate the people behind the scenes, mobilized many connections in the world, and bought a small piece of paper from the black market.
If Chen Wu had not died in front of me, I would not have known that the gravel stone sank was created by such an ordinary man.
I have mentioned before that Chen Wu bought private houses in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty. Among these residential residences, several underground darkrooms were opened with hidden residences. The darkrooms were stored in gravel scattered stones that had never been opened before. The number was astonishing, which shocked me."
"Your Majesty... Chen Wu, who died in the prison robbery case, turned out to be the black market medicine head that had been hiding under layers of fog for many years. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Jiang Chengyi's eyes were bright, and his eyes looked at Emperor Wei revealed his cleverness. His explanation shocked everyone present.
Deng Guozhong gradually gave up the idea of stopping him from continuing, his brows getting deeper and deeper, and his eyes gradually became colder.
Jiang Chengyi continued: "I became suspicious, so I sent a letter to the Shui Pavilion, asking the assistant minister of the Pavilion to investigate Chen Wu's relationship network in Kyoto over the years. This investigation... made me frightened. Chen Wu, who was also reselling other black goods on the black market, was mainly responsible for selling gravel scattered stones and doing some killing jobs.
But the money obtained alone was not enough to allow him to buy so many private houses in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty and possess an astonishing amount of private property.
Chen Wu's background is very simple, but he did everything he wanted to do, but he was able to escape the heavy investigations of the government. It was very concealed, so that people could not find any clues to punish him for his extreme punishment. Obviously, behind him, there must be a prominent figure who is supporting him.
Therefore, after Chen mixed Chen Wu into the black market, he checked all the tasks he received and everything he did.
Chen Wu is a man who is clean and neat. Once he is hired, the target he is targeting will undoubtedly die, and almost all the tasks he takes over are done very well. In his life, there is only one thing that has not been done. That is the Lan Xinlou poisoning case.
Back then, he was ordered to poison and kill people when Taichangqing went to Lanxin Tower to meet with friends. However, a tea customer broke his behavior, which reduced the amount of gravel scattered by half, which allowed Taichangqing to save his life. The tea customer who broke his poison was framed as the murderer and pushed to the government.
Interestingly, Chen Wu was extremely cautious in handling matters, but he showed traces of this matter, leading the Tingwei Supervisor who supervised the case at the time to the black market. In order to conceal Chen Wu's whereabouts, the prominent figure standing behind him took pressure and used the assassination of the custodian to force the Tingwei Mansion to close the case.
At that time, His Majesty, Old Taiwei Deng and the Deng clan members were very concerned about the case. However, the clues reached the black market and were completely wiped out by the person behind Chen Wu. In desperation, another court magistrate who investigated the case could only end the case with the final judgment of the tea customer poisoning."
"Who is the person behind Chen Wu? You have been talking for so long... I only talked about Chen Wu. Who is behind him?" Emperor Wei couldn't wait to know the answer.
Jiang Chengyi said slowly, "Your Majesty... Let me tell you slowly. This matter is not urgent."
Emperor Wei was speechless, and he glanced at him coldly, then closed his mouth and listened intently.
"I found out that since Chen Wu entered the black market, he has been in the lead position. He has been controlling the black market in Luoyang, Kyoto for many years and has the lifeline of the black market in the Gyeonggi area. Your Majesty should know that controlling the black market in the Gyeonggi area is to seize all the black market channels of the Great Wei.
The black goods he handled were quite a few, so he operated many illegal trade routes. One of them was the most special, and it led to the capital of the North... and led to the territory of the Great Wei."
Jiang Chengyi finally mentioned the North.
Deng Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, her hair stood up, her heart was almost about to pop out of her throat, her eyes widened, and cold sweat continued to seep out from her forehead.
When Emperor Wei heard this, he noticed something and subconsciously looked at Deng Qing, who was lying on the ground. He originally expected him to remain indifferent, but he saw his shoulders trembling and his whole body tense up. His heart couldn't help but sink, and his disappointment became more and more.
"Your Majesty... I will find out that the secret order that Chen Wu poisoned him in Lanxin Tower was transmitted to the capital through this commercial road in the capital of the north. The person who sent the message was Deng Qing, the general who guarded the border city far away in the north."
Having said this, Deng Qing could no longer hold back his breath and immediately shouted at him: "Jiang Chengyi! You are slandering people! I have never done such a thing! Why do you want to frame me like this? Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't listen to him nonsense... I have not done such a thing..."
Deng Qing trembled, her whole body trembled, and her teeth were trembling.
Deng Guozhong heard such words from Jiang Chengyi's mouth, and his whole body collapsed. He stared at Deng Qing in a daze, his eyes full of disappointment.
Deng Qing felt this gaze and his heart trembled...
