Chapter 342: Ending (9)

Xu Zhilan waited in the dungeon for two days, but not only did she not see the Duke of Ying sending someone to secretly rescue her from the dungeon, but even Tao Xin did not come back.

She began to worry if something happened to Taoxin.

Taoxin was so loyal to her that she absolutely believed that she would not betray her. Will Duke Ying reject her request, and then grabbed Taoxin and asked her where was the remaining evidence?

Over the years, she had a secret selfish intention to trade with the Duke of Ying, fearing that the Duke of Ying would kick herself away after they succeeded. Therefore, she hid the letters they had communicated with each other in the stone forest of the Peony Garden, and did not burn a single letter.

The evidence was enough to make the entire family of Duke Ying's mansion beheaded, and even the King of Jin was inevitably lucky.

Until the evening, the prison guard delivered her food. Seeing that she had not finished her morning meal, he said coldly: "Eat more when you have food now. In two days, you will have to eat the ingots and candles when you are hungry."

Another jailer spitted at her and said, "A woman who has killed so many people shouldn't have given her food. Let her go there and be a starving ghost."

After saying that, he raised his right leg and kicked the rice bowl aside. The food in the bowl immediately fell to the ground.

"How angry are you? After eating this meal, she had to go there to eat the meal."

The jailer said that there was a referring to the underworld.

The prison guards looked at each other and shook their heads and went out. Xu Zhilan suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the iron railing and said, "Stop, do I want to see Duke Ying, I want to see the King of Jin."

As she said that, she took off all the valuable things on her body and stuffed them to the jailer.

"I'll give you all these things, let me meet King Jin! I'll say that I have something very important to meet him, and it's about Chu Xinyu!"

Didn’t King Jin like Chu Xinyu?

If he knew that Chu Xinyu was her wife in her previous life and his queen, would he still watch her marry Lin Chenyao? In order to retake Chu Xinyu, he would definitely think about everything he could do.

If the Duke of Ying did not save her, then if the King of Jin knew that it was Duke of Ying who killed his future queen and let her impersonate her, then his queen would be resurrected from the dead and become Chu Xinyu.

The King of Jin would definitely not let Duke Ying go, because he ruined his chance to become an emperor, and Chu Xinyu would not want to marry Lin Chenyao!

Xu Zhilan thought darkly inside, if she dies, no one can think of a good life!

The jailer grabbed the jade bracelet and a top-quality jade pendant in his hand, stared at Xu Zhilan for a while, and then slowly said: "I have accepted the thing, but we can't convey your words."

"Why?"

"Because King Jin has been imprisoned in the clan's mansion and without the imperial order, he will never be able to get out in his life."

Xu Zhilan was shocked when she heard this!

The highest chief of the clan mansion in the Xu Dynasty was Lin Mingxiao, the eldest princess's son-in-law, and Lin Chenyao's father. Any royal family member who was imprisoned in the clan mansion was committed a serious crime. Once imprisoned, he could hardly get out, which was equivalent to life imprisonment.

How could this be the case?

"The Duke of Ying is fine." Xu Zhilan held a tentative attitude. The King of Jin was convicted, and the Duke of Ying must not be safe.

When the prison guard heard this, he sniffed at her, "It's true that he is in the same group as Duke Ying!"

Then the two of them locked up and left without looking back.

Xu Zhilan's heart suddenly sank, and she had a bad premonition.

It turned out that Shuxiang left the dungeon and immediately returned to Duke Rong's mansion and told Lin Chenyao about the inquiry. Lin Chenyao personally took people to the Peony Garden. In the stone forest, he found the iron box that Xu Zhilan mentioned. When he opened it, he found the letters from her, Duke Ying and King Jin.

They had letters ten years ago. From these letters, they found important information about the case of the Xiang family in Jiangnan. It turned out that after Xu Zhilan established the Shadow Killer Organization, these killers were all very skilled in martial arts and it was difficult to manage them. She thought that in her previous life, she had heard from Fu Yingfu that there was a fragrance book in Jiangnan Xiang family, which contained a fragrance that could control people's minds and make them obey orders in this life.

So she informed Duke Ying of this matter. In the letter, Duke Ying supported her to bring the incense sticks, but because the incense sticks of the Xiang family in Jiangnan was a secret recipe passed down to the clan leader, outsiders could not even take a look.

In order to help Xu Zhilan get Xiang Ku, Duke Ying set up a plan to make the Xiang family run by the court. He was even more afraid that the Xiang family would appear, so he sent someone to kill them all.

Then over the years, they conspired to do a lot of bad things. Because of her prophet, Duke Ying used the shadow to kill the political enemies blocking the road along the way, thus expanding his power in the court step by step, almost running side by side with Duke Rong's mansion.

The reason for killing Fu Shaode's wife and daughter was also mentioned in the letter that first, Duke Ying wanted to seek power from Zhejiang for the King of Jin. Fu Shaode was a hero in the anti-Japanese war and never participated in the affairs of the government. Seeing that he could not win over, he thought of finding his own people to replace him.

Second, I believed in the master's words. Xu Zhilan's birth date and horoscope had a phoenix fate, which helped the king, but he needed a powerful mother's family to be his backer.

So Xu Zhilan mentioned that her mother had a twin sister who married Sanlang of Fu's family and gave birth to a daughter that looked six or seventy percent similar to her. As long as she imitated her clothes and dress, she would not recognize her if she was not the closest person.

Duke Ying did have the idea of ​​killing Fu Shaode, but the other party not only received respect from local people, but was called a hero against the Japanese, but also had a strong background. To kill him, he also had to plan a way to clear the suspicion.

So, he sent Xu Zhilan to Fu Shaode and his wife, asked her to be an insider, and then found an opportunity to start.

What he and Xu Zhilan are best at doing is to find someone to take the blame. In the retrial case of the Xiang family, they pushed Liu Hong out. Unfortunately, after Liu Hong entered the dungeon of Dali Temple, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Ji Lin blocked the matter so that no news was spread. Because Liu Hong died, Dingyuan Hou's crime was confirmed, and the Xie family did draw out two or three bad bamboo shoots because of the investigation.

Xu Zhilan's letter was really timely, and it just cleared the suspicion of Dingyuan Hou, but the matter of Prince Zhao was not that easy to deal with. He was involved in it himself, and he did not report it, so he took the blame for others, and the crime was even higher.

Xu Zhilan pretended to be the second girl of the Fu family, and it turned out that she had no connection with Duke Ying. Duke Ying was even in the same group as her. The two colluded with each other, plotting to murder the generals of the court, killing dozens of officials in the court, and killing countless people.

The letters Xu Zhilan and Duke Ying also involved the King of Jin. Over the years, the King of Jin has formed cliques outside on the grounds of traveling, accumulated grain, and secretly plundered people's wealth and paste. He also used these people's wealth and paste to donate grain and clothes to the people and bribe the people's hearts.

The assassination of the prince of Hongzhou was also related to the King of Jin, which was planned by him and Xu Zhilan.

At the same time, Zhao Donglai, who returned from Hongzhou, brought the results of his investigation to Hongzhou to the emperor. It turned out that the collapse of the Hongzhou embankment was related to the King of Jin.

When King Jin was traveling, he had been to Hongzhou. The governor of Hongzhou was Tan Shaoning. It turned out that he was a cousin of the Qi family. The embankment would collapse because he was greedy for the imperial court to pull out the silver from the embankment. Because the silver from the embankment was not enough, he could not complete the work and hand over the work within the specified time, so he had to cut corners. As a result, in less than half a year, the embankment collapsed, flooding several counties, leaving countless people homeless.

Tan Shaoning handed over all the money he had greedy to King Jin, but King Jin used the silver to make friends with heroes from all walks of life to make weapons. He had a weapon manufacturing base in Xuzhou.

These were all supported by some local officials secretly offerings when Tan Shaoning traveled with him.

The King of Jin did these things, which was undoubtedly a rebellion. For a moment, the entire Jin capital was shocked. The emperor personally ordered Tan Shaoning and some Jin kings to be executed, while the King of Jin was imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and he would never come out without the emperor's order.

As for the Duke of Ying State

Duke Ying and his crown prince Jiang Haoheng were executed and their titles were removed. The men of the Jiang family were exiled for three thousand miles without being summoned and would never step into the capital. The descendants would never enter the court as officials and women would sell them as slaves.

There is also the Qi family, where men are exiled as soldiers and women are sold as slaves, and Concubine Qi is sent to the cold palace.

For a moment, everyone in Jinjing was in danger, and the Duke of Ying, which was almost on par with Duke Rong's Mansion, fell overnight.

Some officials from aristocratic families who had close contact with the Duke of Ying's Mansion were searched, those who were demoted, and even some resigned and returned home in disgrace.

These things are only a few days old, and after the end of the matter, a new festive celebration is ushered in.

The King of Qin woke up from his coma and was protected by the secret guards sent by Lin Chenyao.

He was sent back to the Qin Palace in the capital to recuperate and investigate the collapse of the Hongzhou embankment. He made the greatest contribution. Even for the sake of the prince's serious injury, the queen was naturally very grateful. The emperor asked him to rest well. After he recovered, he went to the palace to receive the gift.

The prince of the Eastern Palace was frightened and fell into a coma, but he was lucky in disguise. A goddess doctor happened to come to the capital. Everyone praised her for her great medical skills. Even the harem in the imperial city heard her name.

The queen and the princess were trying to get the mentality of trying it out and called the goddess doctor to the palace to treat the prince. However, they did not expect that not only did the prince wake up from his coma, but it also took three months to cure the prince's old illness.

Of course, these are all later stories.

When he learned that Xu Zhilan was going to be executed the day after tomorrow, he was a cousin of two lives yesterday. Chu Xinyu thought that she should go and send her a good trip.

Just because tomorrow is her wedding, there is no time, and the day after tomorrow is her first day of marriage, and there is no time, so she chose to bring Mo Xiang and Shu Xiang to the cell of Dali Temple that night.

She first let Shuxiang, who was disguised as a peach-hearted person, stand in the dark corner and wait for her orders.

Xu Zhilan has been learning something about the outside from the prison guards in the past two days. The Duke of Ying was gone, the King of Jin was imprisoned, and Concubine Qi was sent to the cold palace. All her former support had lost power.

There are also brothers Xu Mingxuan and Tao Xin, who don’t know what is now? If the brother is alive, he will definitely come to save him, but she knows that she is not having much time and can’t wait for him to come.

Thinking that tomorrow would be Chu Xinyu and Lin Chenyao's wedding, and she would be executed the day after tomorrow, she couldn't bear it and lost control. She shouted in the direction of Zhongyi's mansion: "Chu Xinyu, Fu Yinghua, so many people are dead, why are you not dead? Why?"

"Do you know why?"

A relaxed and lazy voice sounded behind the iron railing, and Xu Zhilan immediately heard that this was Chu Xinyu's voice.
