Chapter 84 The Unexpected Truth
Although the Sun Mengwu case left some suspense, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing did not agree to close the case at first, but in the end the case came to an end. The death of Sun Mengwu, the origin of Tianmoluo, and that song
The inexplicable poem caused the two of them to form a conflict with Princess Taiping's power. Without this incident, there would not have been the subsequent battle with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and Zhuge Xianyu would not have left the scene lonely.
Now that Li Baniang mentioned that poem again, what is her intention?
Fan Xiaodao had already given the manuscript of that poem to Yi Zhihua in Room No. 1, Tianzi, and he had promised to unlock the secret. However, after visiting Yi Zhihua several times, Fan Xiaodao found that he had given up on the poem.
When Fan Xiaodao asked about the deciphering of the poem, Yi Zhihua either avoided answering or laughed coldly, leaving him confused.
Fan Xiaodao still remembered the girl dressed in white he met late at night, the girl he called Bai Wuchang. However, before he had any chance to have any interaction with her, the woman had disappeared into the vast sea of people, and more than two people
She has not appeared again for months. That girl, like a flash in the pan, caused ripples in Fan Xiaodao's life.
Life is inherently impermanent.
When I thought I might write a new story, I couldn't resist being caught off guard and it ended without any problem.
However, Fan Xiaodao believes that one day, that girl will appear in front of him, just like the "impermanence" in her "name".
Seeing Fan Xiaodao deep in thought, Li Baniang thought he had something on his mind and continued to add: "There is another secret that I originally wanted to take into the coffin, but now that I have a chance to live, I want to hand it over.
"
Fan Xiaodao said: "I may not need the secret of that poem."
Li Baniang was stunned, "Don't you want to know?"
"I would even dream of it, but I never make deals with people in a threatening way, especially those who are under prison. Besides, I don't have the ability to get you out of prison."
Li Baniang smiled and said: "Yes, it's just that you don't know. Now that you have been ordered to investigate the murder of the Northern Zhou envoy, the palace has given you the authority to handle the case. It's just a matter of your words to get me out of prison. What's more,
, you and I have a common enemy."
"Common enemy?"
Li Baniang said: "It's not a pleasant feeling to be treated as an outcast."
Fan Xiaodao understood what she was talking about. The original case of Sun Mengwu could have been pursued and even had a chance to bring down the consort Qian. However, the pressure from above and the timely intervention of Li Baniang made this case "enough is enough."
, if she hadn’t still had some connections in the capital, she might have become a dead soul outside the Meridian Gate.
Li Baniang is an abandoned son who was abandoned by the wealthy consort.
"Since I was imprisoned, I have been reflecting on my actions all the time. Sun Mengwu's death was related to me, but the real murderer was the group of people behind the scenes. I am not willing to..." Li Baniang's eyes
There was a hint of determination in her voice, "I, Li Banniang, repay kindness and revenge. I must avenge Master Yu and Consort Qian. I think our goals are the same. At least, you are the arrester.
Come on, I can help you with a lot of inconvenient things."
Fan Xiaodao listened to her words quietly and said: "I don't need you. Also, given your current situation, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. At least, you have not shown a certain degree of sincerity."
Li Baniang was stunned when she heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
She took a few steps forward, came to Fan Xiaodao, and knelt in front of him with a thump, "As long as Fan Baotou can save my life, I, Li Baniang, am willing to serve as an ox or a horse for the young master to drive. If anyone violates this, I will teach you."
I was struck by five thunders and my orifices bled to death!"
"Get up!" Fan Xiaodao said calmly: "We are not friends, nor are we masters and servants. If your information is useful, maybe I will consider it."
Li Baniang leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Actually, Sun Mengwu's true identity is a spy planted in Ming Dynasty by the shadow organization of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"What?" Fan Xiaodao's body shook when he heard this. Li Baniang's words had such a great impact on him that he lost his composure for a moment. Li Baniang continued: "More than that, the person she connected with in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the one from Jiangnan.
Master Lan."
"evidence?"
Li Baniang continued: "When she was sold to Baihualou, I felt strange. With her talent and ability, she was enough to charm countless people. As long as she was willing, countless wealthy businessmen in the capital were vying to redeem her, but she
But she was unmoved. Later, after she was stationed in the building, some 'rich businessmen' would often come here to spend a lot of money to cheer her up. You know, in the capital, in the brothel business, there are many talented, beautiful, and educated women.
Yes, to truly become a hit, you need someone to support you, and to get to know such people, you often need opportunities, insight, and good manners. Sun Mengwu is a newbie who just arrived.
Countless people came to support her, which was a bit abnormal. Those who supported her spent thousands of taels of silver on her in one night, but they often only came once or twice and never saw her again. Until Mr. Lan appeared,
All the others disappeared. At first, I thought she and Lan Zhili were in love, but one time I accidentally entered their room and saw the two of them holding a book, seeming to be studying something.
When she arrived, she was extremely dissatisfied, and she and I quarreled for several days over this."
At this point, Li Baniang stopped and secretly looked at Fan Xiaodao's reaction. Fan Xiaodao was unmoved, "Continue, I'm listening."
Li Baniang knew that he was interested in this, and continued: "Later, she took the initiative to ask me to give in. We made a three-part agreement. She made money for the building and asked me not to mind her business. After the Northern Zhou embassy came to Beijing, almost every day
Someone from the embassy would come to Sun Mengwu's place, and they would drink until midnight every time, but never stay overnight. And early the next morning, Lan Zhili would show up at Baihua Tower without hesitation. From this, I concluded that Sun Mengwu had something to do with that person.
There should be some connection between Lan Zhili and people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"This is just your guess."
Li Baniang said: "The next thing happened that convinced me of her identity. On the fourth day of August, Lan Zhili came to see Sun Mengwu early in the morning, and the two had a big fight in the other courtyard. I was nearby at the time
, so after hearing a few words, Lan Zhili called Sun Mengwu a stinky bitch. If it weren't for him, she would have become a 10,000 rider in a brothel. Sun Mengwu was not to be outdone, saying that she was no different from a 10,000 rider now.
She lived on tenterhooks every day, scolding Lan Zhili for being treacherous, and kept putting off the things she promised. Finally, Lan Zhili showed weakness and said that after accomplishing this task, he would redeem her life and take her to live in seclusion in the mountains. Later, Mr. Huang's housekeeper
Come to Baihualou and invite Sun Mengwu to a birthday banquet, and I will go and socialize, but I can confirm Sun Mengwu’s identity without a doubt."
Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing you didn't explain."
"What's up?"
"Why did you kill Sun Mengwu?"
Li Baniang's face darkened and she said: "Killing her was not my original intention. That old pervert Qian Prince Consort took a fancy to Sun Mengwu and asked her to accompany him by name many times. You also know that Baihua Building is Qian Prince Consort's property. We
As a servant, you can only obey orders. Sun Mengwu has a fierce temper and is capable of making mistakes, but she is reluctant to let him serve that big fat man. Later, Prince Consort Qian drugged her wine and forcibly gave her to him.
She was raped, and the results came back and forth, but I didn’t expect Sun Mengwu to be pregnant.”
Fan Xiaodao suddenly understood. No wonder Sun Wuzuo said one corpse and two lives during the autopsy. He and Zhao Xing also had doubts about who the man who got her pregnant was. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the archenemy Qian Huimao. Unfortunately,
Sun Mengwu has been buried, and there is no evidence that the fetus in his belly is dead. Otherwise, this incident alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.
Li Baniang said: "You also know that although Qian's consort is doing mischief outside, he is still Princess Taiping's consort and the emperor's son-in-law. He is looking for flowers and willows, and the royal family can just turn a blind eye. But if someone is killed, if
After word spread, it was something that brought shame to the royal family, and Princess Taiping was a jealous person. After some discussion, Prince Consort Qian decided to ask Sun Mengwu to abort the child. He got a medicine from somewhere and said it was
One dose can cause a miscarriage, and this happened to me."
Fan Xiaodao said: "Tianmoluo?"
Li Baniang said: "At first, I didn't know that it was a poison that could kill people by sealing their throats with blood. I just thought it was an ordinary abortion pill, so I gave it to Sun Mengwu. I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so she deliberately gave it to someone else.
I chatted with her in the hospital for a long time... that was after Lan Zhili left. After learning about my purpose, Sun Mengwu didn't say anything. Her behavior that day was a little abnormal, and she even talked to me about her most recent
She liked the book "Huizhen Ji". She talked about Yingying's fate and told me that if anything happened to her, she would have this book "Huizhen Ji" as her funeral gift after she died. I even comforted her at that time.
, it’s just a dose of abortion pill, it can’t kill her, who would have thought that it was this dose of pill that killed her.”
Fan Xiaodao clapped his hands, "The story is very good, but there is a loophole. You never mentioned the piece of paper and the poem in her belly."
Li Baniang said: "This is another matter. That piece of paper was originally a letter written by someone from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to Qian's consort. It was always on Qian's consort. However, after having a romantic night with Sun Mengwu, the letter disappeared.
, Qian’s consort looked particularly panicked, and once locked up Sun Mengwu and interrogated her all night long, but she still found no whereabouts.”
Fan Xiaodao thought to himself that Bai Wuchang said that the letter was stolen from Tuoba Ye's house by her senior sister after he assassinated him. Because of this, her senior sister was hunted down and her whereabouts are still unknown.
, but when it came to Li Baniang's mouth, it became a different version, but he did not tell the truth.
"What does it say?"
Li Baniang said: "I don't know about this either, but I heard from Master Yu that this kind of letter information should be Yin and Yang information, sent separately, and it was the Yin text in it that fell into Sun Mengwu's hands."
Yin and Yang intelligence is a type of encrypted intelligence. In order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, they specially wrote the intelligence content in an encrypted way and sent it in two batches. Only one part was obtained, not the other half, and this intelligence was not available either.
Of any value, this is also a technical method adopted to prevent intelligence leaks. Get the Yangwen intelligence, and then use the intelligence that Sun Mengwu stole to decrypt it in a special way to get a complete content, otherwise
, looking at the two pieces of information separately, they are just insignificant love poems.
Li Baniang said: "As long as I get those two pieces of information, I am absolutely sure that I can bring down Qian's consort! Sun Mengwu got that piece of information, but for some reason he didn't give it to Lan Zhili, but he agreed to meet Lan Zhili at night.
