Xue Chongjian was puzzled: "What do you mean?" How many dancing girls are still worth checking out? โ
Cui Gengdao: "Three months ago, a group of dancing girls entered the house. It didn't take long for Wu Guogong to fall ill and die, shouldn't this be investigated? โ
Wu You died of a violent illness, and no one felt that there was anything abnormal, except for Cui Geng. He clearly remembered that in historical records, Wu Youji should have died four years later.
Is there anything hidden in this?
Now, knowing that Li Longji sent a batch of dancing girls to Wu Youji for no reason, he was of course very suspicious.
But Xue Chongjian was quite unimpressed, and said: "Look at what you said, could it be that the King of Linzi still wants to kill his father?" What's in it for him? โ
"Of course it'......"
Cui Geng wanted to say, Wu Youji is not dead, how can he force Princess Taiping and pro-Tubo? However, when he thought about it, he felt that this reason was not sufficient.
The reason is very simple, Li Longji wants to ascend the throne, there are too many people to deal with, and Princess Taiping is far from the top three.
If you want to say that Li Longji fell into the trap of Princess Taiping, it is very possible. But to say that he deliberately made such a play, it is really unlikely. With that mental strength and resources, is it not good for him to use it to deal with Empress Wei or himself?
Xue Chongjian saw that Cui Geng didn't speak, and asked, "How is it?" Cui Xiang himself also thinks that King Linzi will not murder his father, right? โ
Cui Geng frowned and said: "It's too coincidental that those dancing girls appeared at the time, I always feel a little unreliable, you'd better send someone to check." โ
Xue Chongjian only thought that Cui Geng was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he didn't want to poke it, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, the disciple will check." โ
After gossiping for a while, Cui Geng said goodbye and left.
Obviously, he didn't persuade Xue Chongjian to stay away from Li Longji, but only made Xue Chongjian's opinion of himself and even Princess Taiping change slightly.
thought that this matter was over, but at noon the next day, Princess Taiping invited him into the house for a while.
Lu Ruolan was so angry that her liver trembled, and said, "This shameless woman, do you know what her identity is?" I'll just let you go for a day, why do you still kick your nose in the face? โ
Cui Geng was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, okay, where do you want to go?" The princess and I are innocent. โ
"Huh, innocent? Then explain and explain, what did she tell you to do this time? โ
"Uh...... How do I know? โ
In fact, Cui Geng also felt quite strange, didn't they just meet yesterday? What's so important today?
With suspicion, Cui Geng entered Princess Taiping's mansion again.
When I asked, I realized that this time it was really serious. Just last night, after the feast, the jade leaf cup disappeared.
In such a major case, Princess Taiping was not worried about Jing Zhaoyin, so she asked Cui Geng to help.
Cui Gengdao: "Who is in charge of this treasure?" But what suspicions are not? โ
"It should be stolen by a cheap ~ person named Suyu."
"How so?"
"Today I checked my subordinates, but she was missing. And this cheap~ person just seduced ~ the guards in the treasury to drink last night. โ
"What is the origin of Suyu?"
"Three months ago, Chongjian found a group of dancing girls out of nowhere and gave them to Wu Guogong, and this Suyu is his favorite one."
Cui Geng said thoughtfully; "On the night of Wu Guogong's death, was it the element jade servant?"
"How do you know...... Yes! Princess Taiping's eyes widened suddenly, and she said, "You...... You mean, Wu Guogong was killed by Su Yu? โ
Cui Geng said: "It's just a guess. Wu Guogong died of a violent illness, what kind of disease is this violent disease? โ
"The doctor said that it was a wind, so he never publicized it to the public. Thinking about it carefully, Su Yu is quite suspicious. โ
"More than that......"
Then, Cui Geng simply told Xue Chongjian and himself the conversation last night.
After hearing this, Princess Taiping slowly shook her head and said, "This palace thinks that Li Longji will not deal with this palace. Besides, if he really intends to take the throne, he should kill Su Yu and kill him, instead of letting Su Yu lurk for a while afterwards and steal some jade leaf crown. โ
Cui Geng also felt that this was too petty to be a little angry, and said: "However, this matter is always inextricably linked to Li Longji. Okay, let's not talk about this, as long as you find Suyu, everything can be revealed. โ
Then, Cui Geng asked the group of dancing girls sent by Xue Chongjian one by one, but did not find any useful clues.
It turned out that including Su Yu, they were all dancing girls bought by Li Dan two years ago.
checked Su Yu's deed of sale and learned that she was a master of Qinzhou, and her parents died, so there were no other useful clues.
What can I do?
Chang'an has a population of hundreds of thousands, and if you hide anywhere, and then try to find it, it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack!
"Suyu...... Suyu ...... Yusu ...... Yusu ...... Where the hell are you...... Huh! Pregnant! โ
Cui Geng muttered the name "Suyu" over and over again, and suddenly found some inspiration from "Yusu".
It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Zhengyi, a member of the Zhongshu House, once bought a Goryeo maid called "Yusu". This jade is very beautiful, and Guo Zhengyi asked her to be in charge of the property warehouse. Guo Zhengyi has to eat a bowl of porridge every night before going to bed, and he doesn't eat it if it's not cooked by Yusu.
One day, Yusu put poison in the porridge and gave it to him.
Guo Zhengyi noticed it after drinking the porridge and shouted: "This maid is harming me." Fortunately, the toxicity of this drug is not great, and Guo Zhengyi was rescued.
At this time, the maidservant Yusu was gone, and more than a dozen gold and silver artifacts were lost.
Wei Chang, the big leader of the bad guys, was ordered to investigate the case and found a few people to ask: In the past ten days, who has inquired about Guo Zhengyi's home.
It is said that a Korean who had returned to the country had approached him and left a letter for a groom.
When he came to Namafu's house, he sent someone to search out the letter, only to see that it read: "There is an empty house in Jincheng Hutong. โ
Sure enough, the bad guys found the maidservant Yusu and Namafu in the empty mansion and beheaded them together.
Although the jade leaf crown is different from that case, the idea is the same. If the mastermind behind the scenes wants Su Yu to do it, he must give her an instruction.
Princess Taiping's family rules are strict, and Su Yu came up with it herself, and there is no legitimate reason at all. Then, whether she is asked to steal something, or to kill Wu Youji, you must take the initiative to contact him, and even, help her arrange the back road.
In this case, it is enough to check which outsider has contacted Princess Taiping's domestic servant. It doesn't have to be Suyu, as long as you can contact Suyu.
Thinking of this, Cui Geng changed his mind and asked who had recently delivered a letter to the house, or passed a message or something.
This investigation really found some clues, some people said that Su Yu has been in a lot of contacts with a medicine woman named Li Erniang recently, and maybe she has passed on some messages.
The so-called medicine woman is the mother-in-law who uses medicine to treat people, and is one of the "three aunts and six women".
Although the status of women in the Tang Dynasty was not as low as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, some gynecological diseases could not be seen by male doctors, which gave the medicine woman a living space, and even the mansion of Princess Taiping could not be eliminated.
Cui Geng was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to interrogate Li Erniang.
When the mother-in-law heard that the world-famous Cui Qingtian was going to interrogate herself, she was frightened like chaff, and said: "Master Cui Mingjian, the old woman doesn't know anything, I'm just ...... It's just ......"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I brought a message to Su Yu: Jade Leaf Crown Jade Qingguan, the past kindness is repaid."
"Who told you to bring the message?"
"I don't know, people took the initiative to find me and give me money to do things."
"Then three months ago, that is, before Wu Guogong died, did anyone ask you to send a message to Su Yu?"
Li Erniang shook her head again and again and said, "No, absolutely not." The old woman sent a message to Su Yu this time. But there is a half-nonsense, five thunders in the sky, and it is not good to die. โ
"That's ......" Cui Geng pondered for a long time, and said: "Come here, pass on the order of the official, and surround Yuqingguan." โ
