[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 58 Conspiracy [English]
byLin Wanqing’s eyelids twitched and she said, “Forget it, I’ll just figure it out myself…”
The moonlight was sparse, and at two o’clock in the morning, all the families were asleep.Apart from the occasional drunkard, there was no one in sight on the street.
Liang Weiping was about to send Lin Wanqing back to Dali Temple. The two of them walked along the neighborhood for a while until they heard a few laughs not far away.
Lin Wanqing looked up and saw three figures walking in the dimness of the street lights.
The leader was joking with the two people behind him and eating something packed in his hand.
“Crack!”
When the three of them passed by them, Lin Wanqing suddenly felt something hit her ear and temples.
Taking a closer look, it was the packing paper in the hand of the man I saw just now.
The oil paper fell to the ground and bounced a few times, then rolled to the corner of the wall, leaving behind a trail of greasy soup.
Lin Wanqing was stunned and raised her hand to touch her head, only to feel oil on one hand…
he ate soup dumplings.
“Stop!” Lin Wanqing was furious and stopped several men who had already walked some distance away.
Several people stopped when they heard the sound, turned around nonchalantly, and met her eyes.
Only then did Lin Wanqing see clearly that the person who smashed her was a young man in rich clothes and jade robes.He was born with a clear face and a good look, but his disdain in his eyes and his arrogant attitude made him look like a dandy from an important family in the capital.
“If you throw debris on the street and hurt someone, you will be prosecuted by the government.” Lin Wanqing said, holding back his anger.
The person in front of him gave a cold voice and said nothing. The two followers beside him spoke first.
“Why are you barking? A wild dog dares to block Mr. Chen’s path!”
After the two of them finished speaking, they were about to move forward with their sleeves rolled up, but were stopped by the second young master.
He glanced sideways at Lin Wanqing, his eyes falling on her official uniform, with disgust and contempt between her brows, “What did I think, it turned out to be a ninth-grade official, Jingzhao Mansion? Or from Dali Temple?”
As he spoke, he took two steps closer to Lin Wanqing. When he opened his mouth, there was a smell of alcohol, which made Lin Wanqing turn her head and cover her mouth and nose.
After staying in Shengjing for a year, Lin Wanqing still heard about some famous dandies, and Mr. Chen was one of them.
As the only son of Chen Yan, the commander of the Nanya Imperial Army, and the nephew of Empress Chen, this man usually did evil and was full of evil.
When she was still in Jingzhao Mansion, Li Jingzhao helped him clean up the aftermath.
“Dong dong.”
There were two crunching sounds from his feet, like small, hard stones falling to the ground and bouncing twice.
She looked down and found two broken pieces of silver.
“Take it and wash it. Don’t come out in the middle of the night. Wild dogs will be beaten and eaten.”
Unable to bear it, Lin Wanqing silently clenched her fists.
According to her original temper, she would definitely not be able to swallow this breath today.But now that Su Moyi is so busy, Lin Wanqing really doesn’t want to cause any more trouble to him.
Therefore, the temper that was about to burst was swallowed alive in the end.
However, the next moment, she was startled by two screams from Mr. Chen.
Liang Weiping, who had always been timid, didn’t know what was wrong. When Lin Wanqing was struggling with himself, he tore open the oil paper wrapping the buns in his hand, and then pressed the whole thing on Mr. Chen’s face.
“You should be hiding. You have done so many evil things, and you are not afraid of going out in the middle of the night and meeting your enemies. I will kill you directly!”
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves to a few people and got ready to do it.
“What are you doing?!” Lin Wanqing was confused.
“I have long disliked him, but now that you are backing me up, I want to teach this dandy, who is notorious for his crimes, a lesson!”
As soon as Liang Weiping finished playing, he heard a few rustling sounds in his ears, and dozens of secret guards with swords appeared out of nowhere around the street.
Lin Wanqing: “…”
Liang Weiping: “…”
No wonder Mr. Chen has made many enemies and can still walk around the streets in the middle of the night. It turns out that Mr. Chen had planned it and arranged for secret guards to protect him.
“This…” Liang Weiping paled and poked Lin Wanqing with his elbow, “What should I do…”
Lin Wanqing swallowed and moved her feet back imperceptibly, “You know we can’t defeat you, right?”
“Hmm, um…” Liang Weiping nodded.
“You know it’s not far from Dali Temple, right?”
“Hmm, um…” Liang Weiping’s legs and feet were trembling.
“Then why are you still standing there? Run!” Lin Wanqing roared and rubbed oil on the soles of her feet.
Liang Weiping was startled, then realized what he was doing. He flipped up his robe and ran quickly.
The two people’s eyes were darkened, and they ran around with their heads in their hands. The secret guards chased them, and they jumped over the walls.He couldn’t fight or run, and Lin Wanqing felt angry.
There was a slight sound in his ears, it was the sound of cold iron tools brushing against the night wind. It was extremely thin and unrecognizable.
When she looked back, she saw that a secret guard had been chasing her. The long sword in his hand was glowing with cold light, and he stabbed straight at her arm.
Do you want it to be so exciting?!
A ninth-rank official in the imperial court will be killed whenever he says?!
However, the next moment, she saw a white light coming from the corner of her eye, like the floating moonlight.
“Keng——”
The metal scraped against each other and made a harsh sound. With a crisp sound, the sword in the secret guard’s hand broke into two pieces.
The leading secret guard suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal the people behind him, and everyone slowed down their pursuit.
Lin Wanqing, who was running for his life, did not see this scene and just followed Liang Weiping into an alley at the end of the street.
I really can’t run anymore.
She originally wanted to escape back to Dali Temple, but those people chased her too hard, so she could only panic and choose the way out.
Lin Wanqing supported her legs with one hand and patted her chest with the other. She looked up at the stars to identify which neighborhood in Shengjing City we were currently in.
A cold hand suddenly covered her lips.
Lin Wanqing was shocked and was about to struggle when she heard a timid voice from a woman in her ear.
“Don’t be afraid, come with me.” She said, then came to Lin Wanqing, “It’s me, you saved me.”
Under the street lights, a woman wearing coarse rags and a scarf appeared in front of Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was stunned and didn’t recognize who she was.Until she takes off her turban and takes off her veil.
Blond hair, blue eyes, and a high nose—this is the Hu Ji she saved in Hongzhou.

The lights in Zichen Palace stayed on all night, and under the twelve bronze lamps, Emperor Yonghui handed a secret letter to Su Moyi.
“There is already news about the whereabouts of the black mines in Hongzhou.”
Su Moyi was stunned, then took the secret letter and read it at a glance.
The letter stated that the marked batch of black ore was hung by Zhang Ren on the bottom of the boat and transported out by water.The person doing the work followed the order without saying anything and followed the shipment from Hongzhou to Huainan.
The hand holding the secret letter tightened, and Su Moyi’s pupils trembled slightly.
Huainan was the fiefdom of King Liang during the reign of the late Emperor.
Emperor Yonghui saw his expression change slightly and said in a deep voice: “Everyone only knows that the late emperor once ‘released his power over a glass of wine’ and took back fiefdoms and military power from the hands of vassal kings. However, they don’t know that when this was accomplished, he secretly reached an agreement with the King of Liang.”
Su Moyi raised his head and looked at Emperor Yonghui, waiting for he to finish speaking.
“At that time, the late emperor had difficulties in having heirs. For seven years after taking the throne, no good news came from the palace. It also happened that the previous dynasty had been fighting for three years and put down the chaos of King Wu. The late emperor had plans to win over King Liang, who was the most powerful at that time.”
As for how to win over, Su Moyi immediately guessed one or two.
When the King of Wu rebelled, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it. The powerful ones fought against each other, and both sides suffered losses.
The late emperor intended to cut down the feudal vassalage to permanently eliminate future troubles, and he also had few heirs.In order not to let the imperial power fall by the wayside, he promised his brother Liang Wang the throne and let him take the lead to show his loyalty to the court.
The King of Liang was a weak man at that time and was not very involved in court affairs. Under the temptation of power and family affection, he agreed to the late emperor’s proposal and took the lead in handing over all the fiefdoms and military power in his hands.
But a few years later, when the imperial power was stabilized, with the birth of Princess Anyang, good news from the harem spread frequently, and the late emperor’s descendants gradually became prosperous.
Only then did King Liang realize that he was afraid that he had been deceived by the late emperor.
But at that time, he was already a prince who had lost his real power. It was tantamount to dreaming to compete with the late emperor.
Thinking about it this way, he has sufficient motives to secretly support private soldiers and amass wealth to seize the throne.
It is easy to lose power but difficult to maintain it. Things that were thrown away overnight in the past can now be picked up again after more than ten years of planning.
The King of Liang was also really forbearing and dormant and calculated.
“Now, what is the emperor’s plan?” Su Moyi asked.
Emperor Yonghui was silent and speechless for a moment.
Just a few boxes of black mines transported to Huainan were not enough to prove King Liang’s rebellious intentions.
If you use this to attack him, you will get the bad reputation of harming the royal family and disrespecting your elders.
Moreover, since he was able to hide himself carefully for so long, the former dynasty’s accomplices may have already been entangled with each other. In addition, he is related by marriage to the queen’s mother’s family. If the prince is involved again.I’m afraid that the King of Liang will take the opportunity to attack him again.
It’s really difficult.
If you want to win this game quietly, there is really no other way except long-term planning.
But King Liang may not necessarily give them so much time.
Since he has already begun to think about weapons, if he delays it any longer, he may only end up with long nights and dreams.
His thoughts reached an impasse, and the hall was so silent for a moment that you could hear a pin drop.
“Your Majesty,” Dahuangmen Fugui walked over from a distance, holding a food box in his hand. He looked at Emperor Yonghui and then at Su Moyi and said, “This is the soup that the Queen Mother asked her servants to bring. She said it is because of the hard work of the government, so don’t exhaust yourself.”
“Yes,” Emperor Yonghui responded casually, waving his hand to indicate that he should put the things down.
When Fugui passed by Su Moyi, he glanced at he and said meaningfully: “The Queen Mother also asked her servant to bring a message to the Emperor.”
Emperor Yonghui paused, raised his head and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Fugui opened the food box in his hand and said: “The Queen Mother said that she raised this goose in the palace last year. Seeing how smart it was, she chose it as the first goose. But it didn’t know what to do and escaped from the pen several times. It also led other geese to openly chase and bite the palace people who raised it. The Queen Mother was so angry that she ordered it to be killed when it escaped from the pen.”
He paused, observed the expressions of Su Moyi and Emperor Yonghui, and then said: “Since then, He’s goose has become much more peaceful. So the Queen Mother specially asked her servant to bring it over so that the Emperor and the Crown Prince can have a taste.”
Su Moyi understood, and her heart trembled. She turned to look at Emperor Yonghui, who also looked enlightened.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. If there is no evidence, then dig a hole and let him jump by himself.The person with evil intentions and other agendas is the King of Liang. If there is desire, there will be chaos. The people who should be panic should be he.
After Fugui finished speaking, he bowed his head and retreated.
In the brightly lit Zichen Hall, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled.
Su Moyi opened up the investigation about Song Zhengxing in the imperial case and asked, “Does the emperor know that this Song Zhengxing has been a disciple of King Liang since he was the governor of Hongzhou?”
Emperor Yonghui nodded without comment.
“The previous counterfeit bank case, plus the Song Mansion murder case and the Jingzhao Mansion massacre case that Dali Temple is now involved in, are all insinuating Song Zhengxing. Is it true that Prince Liang was not aware of it?” Su Moyi asked.
Emperor Yonghui was thoughtful and silent.
“I think,” Su Mo recalled, “The Liang King’s party is very thoughtful and cautious. No matter how well they conceal the things that the emperor knows, they will definitely not know anything about it. Otherwise, Zhang Ren wouldn’t have tried many times when I was in Hongzhou.”
“Ai Qing means…” Emperor Yong Hui looked at Su Moyi and frowned slightly.
“Well,” Su Moyi nodded, “The reason why King Liang kept Song Zhengxing without touching him until now is not because he didn’t notice, but because he didn’t dare.”
he paused, his brows and eyes under the candlelight filled with a clear look, “Because Song Zhengxing has something to do with he. If I guessed correctly…”
Su Moyi pressed down the file with one hand and said firmly: “Once Song Zhengxing is killed, these evidences will be presented to the emperor. Therefore, as long as the court finds an excuse to arrest Song Zhengxing, the King of Liang will be in chaos.”
“But what if he raises troops to rebel?” Emperor Yonghui asked.
“For what reason?” Su Moyi asked, “As long as our reason for apprehending Song Zhengxing is legitimate, he who dares to raise troops will be a traitor reviled by the world. Therefore, he dare not act openly and only dare to act secretly.”
“But what we have to wait for is he’s secret actions.”
Emperor Yonghui understood and said with a smile: “The third son of the Song Dynasty will get married in three days. At that time, I will definitely come to the Song Dynasty to congratulate you.”
