【Forty-five chapters】Murder in the urn starts from the four corners

Ning Zheng glanced at him and said coldly: "Zhaoyuan, now your subordinates are as good as you, and they understand the rules more and more. How dare you talk back to me?"

Lu Xun choked and said.

Ning Nanyou silently supported himself to stand up from the ground, his face turned pale and weak, and said: "Father...Lu Xun has always been stupid and does not enter the elegant hall. He also saw that the child was tortured by a stick and was inconvenient to walk, so he said something more. Father, don't be surprised."

Ning Zheng snorted coldly, glanced at him up and down and said, "Since that's the case, I will ask the manager to prepare a caravan for you."

Ning Nan trembled with thick eyelashes. Although his back hurt severely, he still held back and replied: "Son, thank you for your father's care."

He turned around and instructed Lu Xun: "Chengzhong, you can order the Jingshi to lead the way and the rest of the people to guard the house."

Ning Nanyou wanted to leave the remaining troops of the Jingshu Guard in the command mansion, but Ning Zheng said, "Lu Chengzhong will take all the troops of the Linhe Jingshu Guard to check. There are more people, and it is easier to find some underground in the cliff."

The young man in Xuanyi could have been able to hold on, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill flowing through his body, his heart palpitations, his face became paler, his feet were unsteady and he was shaking.

Lu Xun hesitated: "This..."

He looked at Ning Nanyoutuo, and saw the young man lowering his head, as if he was convinced, so he bowed his fists with his hands and said to Ning Zheng, "I will obey the order."

Ning Zheng raised his eyebrows, turned around and left, and walked a few steps but did not see the young man in the dark clothes following him. Then he turned his head and looked at him with a strange look, "Why are you there?"

Ning Nanyou stood with a little difficulty with Lu Xun's support, bowed to Ning Zheng and said, "I would like to ask my father to allow my child to change his clothes and go with me... Otherwise, the child might not be able to hold on for too long."

There were many thorns on the wooden board, and several scratches were densely packed behind him. The blood oozed quickly wet his inner clothes. Although there was nothing on the mysterious clothes, he could see the wet traces behind him.

After all, Ning Zheng nodded and agreed to his request after all.

The young man in black clothes said hoarsely: "Thank you father to understand."

He leaned on Lu Xun and accelerated his pace towards the North Courtyard.

When the master and servant walked to the fork in front of the study room in the backyard, Lu Xun looked puzzled and said, "You lord is not going to change your clothes, why should you go to the study room?"

"Today, my mother and Dou Taijun went out and went to the Buddha Temple outside Linhe to burn incense. Uncle Ji followed her to protect her. It was inappropriate that there was no one in charge in the mansion. My father just wanted to send you and me out of the commanding mansion, and I was probably going to attack Aluo. Fortunately, my father didn't know that Dou Taijun and Zi said they came to Linhe before the New Year, and they didn't know that Zi said they were in the mansion at this moment. You go, take the order of the Jingshu Guard and tell him that he said, "After we left, go to Ximen and then transfer another team of Jingshu Guards. If Alu returns to the mansion, he must protect her." He instructed.

Lu Xun said reluctantly: "Lord, if this matter is discovered by King Dai, you may be punished again, not to mention that King Dai is already quite afraid of the Jingshu Guard. If he really wants to attack the Queen... Your order to adjust the Jingshu Guard will only anger the Daishu Guard. It will make him doubt you. Don't forget... King Dai had already used the hand of Changshan Hou to lead the battle of Quanling and test you.

What's more, this time, the King of Ming also came with the same King of Dai. He was not as restless and arrogant as the Marquis of Changshan. His Highness, the King of Ming, was meticulous and cunning, and he had been against you since childhood. If he knew about this, he might have been stalking and made a big fuss in front of the King of Dai."

Ning Nanyou looked at him with cold eyes and whispered: "If that weren't true, would you want me to see my wife and children with my own eyes and die at the death of the royal palace?"

Lu Xun was stunned, his expression changed slightly, and he tried to persuade: "Lord! Jiang is just a woman after all. There are countless women like her in this world, why should you be obsessed with her? It would be fine if she was not Jiang Chengyi's sister. But she is not a member of the same lord, you really don't have to..."

Ning Nanyou listened, his face immediately darkened, and he said a little angrily: "Lu Chengzhong, are you teaching me to do things again at this moment? Let me ask you, if it is the person who is about to face danger today, it is black tea, what do you want?"

Lu Xun couldn't speak anymore and was speechless.

He pushed the big man who was as stupid as a wood carving and whispered: "Why don't you go quickly?"

Lu Xun had no choice but to follow his instructions and run towards the study.

After everything was settled, Ning Nanyou, with the help of Lu Xun, got on the carriage from the Huai Palace and headed down the mountain where Chen Xu fell off the cliff.

Not long after they left the command mansion, Jiang Chengjia took Qianshan and Xiao Cui back from the market.

Seeing that the mansion suddenly became very deserted for some reason, she immediately guessed something, so she casually found a servant to ask carefully.

Sure enough, I learned that the car of King Huai and his group of people had stopped at the command office just now.

Ning Nanyou could not be found everywhere in the mansion, so she knew that he should have gone out with Ning Zheng.

Just as she was about to return to the North Courtyard to rest for a while, she saw a young man in a reddish-brown robe leaning against the screen wall of the North Courtyard, as if waiting for her to return.

"Zhizi said? Why are you waiting here?" Jiang Chengjia asked.

Dou Yueshan remembered Ning Nanyou's solemn expression just now, and said uneasy: "My sister-in-law returns to the north yard, can she still be discharged from the yard?"

Jiang Chengjia asked in confusion: "Why do you ask like this?"

Dou Yueshan shook her head, and then stopped saying, "My sister-in-law went out early this morning, and I will have a good rest later. Seeing that my sister-in-law returns, I feel at ease and I have taken a leave here."

Jiang Chengjia looked at his hesitant look and felt suspicious, so he asked, "But what's wrong with your brother? Is the King of Dai coming today, and he is embarrassed by him?"

Dou Yueshan sighed helplessly and said, "It's true that when the King of Huai Dynasty came to the command house, I was reading ancient books in my brother's study. I didn't intend to pay attention to this matter, and I didn't see my brother afterwards. I don't know what the situation in the front hall is, but I only know that my brother asked me to greet my sister-in-law."

Jiang Chengjia saw that he seemed to be hiding something, but refused to say it, and felt even more strange in his heart.

"My sister-in-law is still having a good rest, so I will leave now." He bowed to her and turned around and left the North Courtyard.

Dou Yueshan's words and behaviors that could not see any slander made Jiang Chengjia feel confused. But she couldn't know what was going on, so she could only wait to work in the North Courtyard.

As Ning Zheng was indeed as Ning Nanyou expected, when he went to Chen Xu's place to fall off the cliff to investigate, he blatantly summoned the dead soldiers who followed him secretly, and instructed them to sneak into the command house and assassinate Jiang Chengjia.

At that time, when the killer carefully touched the command house from the broken door of the low wall in the backyard, Jiang Chengjia was leaning on the couch to rest.

As the danger approached quietly, she closed her eyes and thought about the specific relationship between Dou Taijun, Mrs. Cao and Dou Yueshan.

In the past two days, Zhuying and Fufeng returned to Linhe from Kuaiji Water Tower, and wrote down all the things she wanted to investigate, handed them to Qianshan, and quietly handed them into the mansion.

The volume book says: When Zhuying went to investigate the file case book when Dou Yueshan was born, she found out that Dou Yueshan's mother, Chen, died of dysfunction, and Dou Taijun immediately changed all the maids around Chen, including the wet nurse who served Chen, and personally took Dou Yueshan, who was born to her concubine, to Mu Cizhai to raise him, and named him Ziyu.

Zhuying followed this clue and found the Stable Woman who gave birth to Chen back then. She asked her from her mouth that the baby born to Chen was a stillbirth. But Dou Taijun ordered her to declare to the public that Chen was a healthy and normal boy.

Wenpo received the hush money from Dou Taijun, and immediately moved out of the capital area from Chang'an and returned to his hometown to wash his feet. Who had expected that more than a month ago, the Dou family sent another person, saying that the Dou family had something to ask her. If she could tell her about the situation on the day of Chen's birth, she would have received twenty hu of money. At that time, her youngest son had a serious illness and needed expensive medicinal materials to be maintained. Due to the situation at that time, Wenpo had to break the agreement made with Dou Taijun at that time and told the youngest son of Dou's that year. He knew nothing about the rest.

This is enough to prove that Dou Yueshan is indeed not the biological son of Chen and Dou Xunfen. He is just a baby brought from where Dou Taijun was unknown.

Fu Feng, who went to the Shui Tower to investigate, got another piece of news. According to the case file recorded in the Shui Pavilion, Mrs. Cao had gone very similar to Dou Xunen before she married into the Huai Palace. The two families were almost at the point of discussing marriage, but later, for some reason, Cao and Dou Xunen parted ways and married into Huai Kingdom as their concubine's wife.

Dou Xunen, whose courtesy name was Cen Sheng. When Mrs. Cao was crazy, she often called him his name. Jiang Chengjia later learned that Cen Sheng was Dou Xunen's small name.

These news seemed to have made her grasp the truth, and gradually got to know the truth of the past, and she became more and more nervous.

The step-by-step confirmation of the news made her increasingly believe that her bold speculations might have all happened, and they hit the trick.

Just as she was concentrating on what happened back then, a slight cool breeze suddenly blew outside, and two black shadows were deleted against the edge of the paper window.

Jiang Chengjia, who has always been used to being alert, was instantly attracted by the movements outside.

She slowly tensed her loose face and showed a nervous look, and she always had a bad premonition in her heart.

As expected, the movement outside the house became increasingly louder, as if someone was about to break into the house.

Jiang Chengjia stood up, moved silently to the window, poked a hole in the paper yarn, and looked outside.

But I saw a group of masked men wearing white shirts and green armors rushing over from behind the screen wall and surrounding the entire North Courtyard.
