Chapter 162
Xie Fu took another step forward, and two rows of hands appeared behind him and the man in black.
"Take it."
The man in black flew up and shot out a few cold lights from his hands.
Several guards raised their shields and jumped to Xie Fu. A water column suddenly fell from the man in black. He flashed again and was covered by a large net bag.
Several chains then put on his body, the constable rushed forward, tightened the iron chain, quickly pulled down the black scarf on his face and plugged his mouth, dragging it out of the hole.
The man came up and bowed to Xie Fu: "Master, this thief has fallen into the trap." The laborers stood aside from a distance, leaned forward and looked here, all of whom were confused. The constables helped out two yamen runners who pretended to be laborers and were stunned, stopping the blood on their bodies, and causing them to wake up.
Xie Fu glanced at the man in black with his eyes closed and his face calm: "The one who made a brilliant plan was Lord Zhang. He expected that this thief was greedy and just ordered you to do this. But in order to confuse this thief, he went to the top of Shounian Mountain, so I waited here. I invited this thief to Fengle back then, and now I will take him back. I will have a reward later on this hard work."
The man rushed to the laborers to thank him.
A group of people rushed over from afar, and Zhang Ping was the one who led the county magistrate to be disgraceful.
The horse ran close, Zhang Ping dismounted, everyone greeted him, Xie Fu stepped forward and bowed: "I'm lucky that I have not been humiliated by the emperor."
Zhang Ping nodded and walked towards Jingqing, who was tied up in all kinds of flowers.
Jingqing opened her eyes, as if she wanted to speak. Zhang Ping ordered someone to take off the cloth towel from his mouth, and Jingqing opened her dry lips.
"Take people to the top of the mountain to attract me, this is a good move."
Zhang Ping said: "There are not many roads coming from Shounian Mountain to this side. You will think we must walk on the small path, and you will walk there too. So I also walked on the small path."
Jingqing blew in his throat: "I would think you must walk the path?"
Zhang Ping nodded.
Jingqing stared at him and laughed again: "Yes, I do think you will walk the path later. You have been guessing my thoughts and then inferring how to act. But it also happened."
Zhang Ping said: "No, it's you who have been speculating on our thoughts, let us follow your arrangements and help you find the tomb of Hewang."
Jingqing narrowed her eyes.
Zhang Ping continued: "You ask your subordinates to ask Yao Lu to tell him about his life experience and all the things he did later, and even earlier, you suggested that Lord Xie build Hewang related historical sites in order to let the government help you find Hewang's tomb."
Jingqing said um: "It turned out that County Magistrate Xie said what I advised him. You started to speculate after you wait, not Yao Lu's confession. So this arrangement will be before you wait for the trial last night."
Zhang Ping nodded: "Yes."
The real prince of Dongzhen is Jingqing, who was confirmed a few days ago.
The only purpose of the people from Dongzhen Kingdom was to obtain the treasures in the tomb of Hewang. Jingqing placed an order in Shanghua Temple, which was born in Zhunzhen and Xuzhen, and was praised by Xie Fu and became the abbot of Cishou Temple. It is related to the two key places in the Pu Lili case.
In addition, he once advised Xie Fu to dig up the remains related to the king, so he could easily guess the identity of the Dongzhen native.
"You and your subordinates have always led people to conclude that the Yao brothers are descendants of the Dongzhen royal family. For example, if you lure Yao Lu out, release him and tell him about his life experience, they all want to expose his whereabouts and let the Yao family bear the blame. But it is obvious that Yao Lu is not the one who issued the order, and Yao Yuanwai was brutally killed."
The fake grain dealer was cheated by Wang Yan and said that their leader was the prince.
From their actions, it can be concluded that the prince must be in the capital or Fengle.
Fengle has what the survivors of Dongzhen Kingdom want the most, so the prince is in Fengle.
"If you contact all the various things in Cishou Temple, you will be able to confirm your identity. As a surviving clan of Dongzhen Kingdom, you have never touched the sarcophagus of His Highness after Cishou Temple."
Gong Yang Xun, Xu Zhen and others who killed Pu Lili have been dead for many years. Tong Shan was involved in this matter because of pure madness. Yao Lianzhu did not find out that he was the key to killing his daughter, making him a fish that missed the net. But he was in his 80s and stayed on the top of the mountain, only for Pu Lili's body under the willow tree.
Jingqing, a survivor of Dongzhen Kingdom, pretended to be the abbot of Cishou Temple. Logically speaking, the first thing he should do was to dig open the back hall, open the sarcophagus, and find out what was going on. No one could stop him from doing this. Xie Fu even gave him a perfect opportunity to practice Cishou Temple.
But he didn't do this, and the floor room where the sarcophagus in the apse was sealed unmovably as in previous decades.
"In the past, the statues and portraits in Cishou Temple were also preserved by you, and you also specially opened a temple to worship them. Because Pu Lili is your grandmother."
The people of Dongzhen have the barbaric customs of different races and pursue some Confucian morality. In Jingqing's eyes, Yao Yuanwai and his three sons are ominous demons, which will threaten his throne. However, he must abide by filial piety and worship respectfully, and will never disturb him.
"Decades ago, your grandfather came to Fengle to look for the tomb of the king, but fell in love with the tombkeeper Pu Lili. Pu Lili gave birth to a pair of twins, and your grandfather took away the second son, which is your father. The eldest son followed Pu Lili. After Pu Lili died, he was taken away by Yao Lianzhu and raised him. Later, he married and gave birth to a son, Yao Yuanwai. You and Yao Yuanwai are cousins."
Jingqing's face remained motionless.
Zhang Ping continued: "Ling's grandfather learned that Pu Lili was killed and came back alone to avenge him. Instead, he fell into the trap set by Xu Zhen and others and died in Shou Nian Mountain. He did not dare to let your tribe members know that he had a twin son, nor did he tell them where they were. Only Ling Zun, who was only six years old at the time, knew that he had a twin brother in the Central Plains, and his father went to find his mother and never returned."
After all, the memory of a six-year-old child is limited. People in Dongzhen Kingdom may have always thought that the prince died because he was discovered by the court, so he only hid and silently raised the little prince.
"After growing up, Ling Zun has been guarding the secret of having a twin brother, and has never come to the Central Plains to search for treasure again. But he told you this secret. When you pretended to be a Taoist and lurked to Shanghua Temple, Ling Zun was dead?"
Jingqing's expression still remained unchanged.
Zhang Ping continued: "Your thoughts are different from those of Ling Zun. Ling Zun told you that the matter is limited, so you can find it yourself."
The remnants of Dongzhen Kingdom had a detailed work on Shanghua Temple, that is, the nameless Taoist who searched for treasure with Zhunzhen and died at the hands of Yao Cunshan. Jingqing followed this line and first lies dormant on Shanghua Temple.
"You have been entrusted with a guest in Shanghua Temple. You deceived Lord Xie, who came to ask for someone, and became the abbot of Cishou Temple. The various obvious clues in Fengle County, plus the clues left by Ling Zun, you have guessed the truth about the murder of Grandfather Ling and Grandmother Ling that year."
And the sarcophagus dug out of the well back then was not a fairy body, but his grandmother Pu Lili.
"You don't move the sarcophagus secretly worship you, but you don't know that your grandmother's body was dug up by Xu Zhen Tong Shan and others decades ago, and buried under the willow tree. There is nothing in the sarcophagus in the dark room."
A gloomy finally flashed across Jingqing's face.
"What Magistrate Zhang said is very interesting. But I have been in this county for several years. And all the things you said I did happened in recent months. It seems that there is no need for any preparation to do these things, so why didn't I do it long ago?"
Zhang Ping said: "You originally wanted to investigate slowly, and it would take three years to make your grandmother mourn. You also instigated Lord Xie to dig out Hewang's tomb. But suddenly, the situation changed."
Jingqing said, "I would like to ask Lord Zhang to answer the questions. What happened suddenly, how did it change?"
Zhang Ping replied briefly: "Ta Chi Kingdom."
Jingqing raised her eyebrows: "Fanbang? The little magistrate, even this is said. And with so many people right now, I am really straightforward and straightforward."
The constables quickly wrapped Jingqing into a straight stick with chains and bowed to leave. Zhang Pingxiang, who also bowed and retreated, said, "Sir Xie, please stay."
Jingqing smiled slightly: "Save a testimony? Haha, okay."
Xie Fu silently stood back to his original place. In fact, except for Yao Lu's confession, there is no other evidence to prove that Jingqing is the so-called prince of the Dongzhen clan. Jingqing was captured here, and he could tell that he learned the secret of the treasure from the Shanghua Temple and was greedy.
But after Zhang Ping said it for a long time, Jingqing never took it seriously, and her attitude was even equivalent to her default.
Such frankness made Xie Fu wonder too much. Could it be that Zhang Ping was wrong? Jingqing is still not the so-called Prince Dongzhen?
But, looking at Jingqing's face, Xie Fu hesitated again.
Jingqing had three long beards and fairy-like bones. At this moment, she had shaved into a short moustache, revealing her lips and jaw, which was actually similar to the face of the Yao brothers.
He isn't he?
Xie Fu was guessing that he was impressed, but Zhang Ping's words followed him shocked him.
"You suddenly became so urgent because of the domestic fight in Tachi and the demotion of King Dai. You feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Xie Fu secretly wiped his sweat in his heart.
The fact that King Dai peeked at Prince Tachi's bathing was a joke in the world, but officials in the court, such as the father of the Minister Wang, did not dare to speak out about this matter.
As a local official, you cannot easily talk about diplomatic relations and state affairs.
Lord Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Both two taboos are violated." If someone knows, I'm afraid that this prince will be dragged to Caishikou before he is convicted.
Xie Fu's liver trembled here, and Zhang Ping continued to see life and death as nothing.
"Tachi Kingdom is one of the foreign countries that destroyed Dongzhen Kingdom. It also occupied your territory after the destruction of your Dongzhen Kingdom. It has a deep hatred for you."
Lord Lan also said that Tachi Kingdom is fighting in an internal battle.
Because of King Dai, Tachi Kingdom offended the court.
"The current situation is an extremely rare and good time for you."
If the two princes of Tachi Kingdom fight to seize the throne and the court sends troops to attack him during the chaos, Tachi Kingdom may destroy the country.
This is the opportunity for restoration of the country that the remnants of Dongzhen Kingdom have longed for.
