Chapter 120 The Real Murderer (Continued)
Jiankang, the main entrance of Jian'an Marquis Mansion, was parked in a row, and a woman got out of a ox cart and entered the Marquis Mansion.
In the distance, in the attic in a private house, next to the window, Zhao Liulang put away his Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said to his subordinates on the terrace next to him: "Remember the time."
"Okay." The man responded, picked up his pen and wrote down the scale on the corona on the paper.
Then he turned into the room: "I'm afraid it won't take two hours to come out."
"Don't worry about when she comes out, just pay attention to it." Zhao Liulang finished speaking and made arrangements, "Old rules, I'll keep an eye on it for an hour first, you go and rest first."
"Okay." After saying that, his subordinate lay on the couch aside and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhao Liulang sat in front of the window, faced the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion in the distance, and began routine surveillance.
He had been ordered to observe the Marquis Mansion of Jian'an for a while, but the boring observations gained a lot. Sure enough, he found that someone was in the frequent visitor of the Marquis Mansion had suspicious whereabouts.
One of them is Xiahou, the princess of Luling.
The sister of Princess Luling is the wife of Xiao Ben, the Marquis of Jian'an. It is normal for the sisters to walk around each other.
But what is abnormal is that Princess Xiahou often goes to Jian'an Hou's Mansion to find her sister, and her sister rarely goes to Luling Prince's Mansion to find her sister.
The Concubine Luling is kind and good to her children and wives. Princess Xiahou is in the royal palace and is considered half a family member, so there is no situation where her sister is unpopular in the royal palace.
According to various signs, Zhao Liulang can infer that Princess Xiahou had an affair with her brother-in-law and Jian'an Hou Xiao Ben based on the reason to visit her sister.
This is just a speculation. Even if Manager Hu has further confirmed it, there is no evidence in the end.
Therefore, Zhao Liulang spent 200 yuan to bribe a servant in the Marquis of Jian'an. From him, he learned that the Princess Xiahou of Luling came to Marquis of Jian'an, he really took the opportunity to have an affair with Marquis of Jian'an.
Not only that, Mrs. Xiahou also used as a cover to hide from most people in the mansion.
In other words, Mrs. Xiahou knew that Jian'anhou had an affair with his sister and provided convenience.
Such a secret is just a gift for chatting after dinner for others, but for Zhao Liulang and the "superior", this news is very valuable.
Zhao Liulang turned his gaze elsewhere, looked at the rows of houses in front of him, and remembered the past.
Nine years ago, his family lived a dull life in Jiankang, while Zhao Liulang worked in Dongye and used his meager income to support his family.
But as Hou Jing invaded Jiankang and the rebels attacked Jiankang, the fate of Zhao Liulang's family changed.
Zhao Liulang survived the chaos, but he was the only one left in the family. Zhao Liulang remembered the pain of his relatives' murder in his heart.
There were many Jiankang people who had the same experience as him, so under the organization of Dongye's "Li Jianzuo", they united and cooperated like hunting dogs, searching for the rebels and remnants.
Among them, it includes his enemy, Xiahou Xun, a son of the Xiahou clan who was accused of rebellion.
Xiahou Xiang, the founding minister of the country, and his sons Xiahou Dan and Xiahou Kui, were in charge of Hefei and Shouyang in Huainan for many years. Therefore, the children of the Xiahou family in Qiao County lived in Shouyang, with a large amount of land and even raised thousands of horses.
Later, Hou Jing occupied Shouyang, Yuzhou. Xiahou Huan, the son of Xiahou Kui, was appointed as the chief of Yuzhou at that time. He actually brought the Xiahou family's children as Hou Jing's front pawn.
After the rebels entered Jiankang, they did whatever they wanted. Xiahou Xun, a son of the Xiahou family, was the murderer who killed Zhao Liulang's family.
Later, Xiahou Huan fought with "Li Jianzuo" and was defeated and died. Not long after, Hou Jing was also defeated and died. The rebels were liquidated by the court, but Xiahou Xun and others disappeared.
Zhao Liulang and many victims of the family being killed by the thieves joined a 'revenge organization' formed by Li Jianzuo, secretly tracing the remnants of the thieves who were hiding.
The others avenged one after another, but Xiahou Xun had not seen any trace for a long time.
"Li Jianzuo" became the Marquis of Xinping, Duke of Xinping, and Zhao Liulang finally discovered the traces of Xiahou Xun: this person seemed to be hiding in the Marquis of Jian'an.
Because the wife of Marquis Jian'an, she was born in the Xiahou clan of Qiao County and was a girl from the Xiahou Xun clan.
But Xiahou Xun defected to Jian'an Hou, not just this distant relative.
Based on the information obtained by the "organization" for many years of investigation into Hou Jing's remaining party, it was found that when the rebels entered Jiankang, Hou Xiao Ben of Jian'an secretly colluded with Xiahou Huan through his wife's relationship.
Therefore, Xiao Ben himself is also a remnant of the traitors.
However, the "organization" cannot collect direct evidence and cannot report it to the government. Considering the other party's identity as a royal clan, even if it is reported, Xiao Ben will probably not be subject to substantial punishment.
Therefore, Xinping Gong allowed the "organization" to impose "sanctions" on Xiao Ben and his hiding Xiahou Xun, as well as the rebels of the Xiahou family.
But during the planning process, Zhao Liulang discovered that Xiao Ben secretly hoarded soldiers and bribed dead soldiers. All kinds of signs showed what the person was planning.
Just as they continued to observe secretly, the emperor was assassinated on the Double Ninth Festival last year.
Zhao Liulang judged based on the situation at hand that Xiao Ben, the Marquis of Jian'an, might be the mastermind of the matter.
It is of great importance and you must master the evidence before you can draw a final conclusion. So Zhao Liulang and his companions continued to secretly follow the Marquis of Jian'an and Marquis' Mansion to find more evidence.
Manager Hu Wei and Mr. Hu, who managed the industry for Xinping Gong, were also helping. After investigation, he found more secrets of Jian'an Hou.
The secret of his affair with Princess Luling was found out by the way.
Then he found that the Princess Luling used various names to transfer part of the money in the royal palace to Xiao Ben's hands, so Xiao Ben did not lack the financial resources to buy the dead soldiers and assassins.
In addition, Zhao Liulang and his companions also discovered that Xiao Ben took advantage of Hou Jing to make trouble and absorbed some of the money and old subordinates of the Linhe Palace.
At that time, King Linhe was Xiao Zhengde, who died suddenly before Hou Jing's rebellion, and Xiao Ben's father Xiao Zhengli was Xiao Zhengde's younger brother.
Xiao Zhengde was a vassal king with ulterior motives. Before his death, he secretly hoarded military wars with ill intentions.
Later, when Hou Jing made a rebellion and intended to surrender to the enemy, Xiao Ben took the opportunity to win over the old subordinates of King Linhe and took the opportunity to obtain money from the Prince Linhe Mansion.
As the investigation deepened, Zhao Liulang became more and more sure that Jian'an Hou Xiao Ben was the mastermind behind the regicide.
This man had a bad intention nine years ago, but before he could cause trouble, he encountered Hou Jing's defeat and death, so he absorbed Xiahou Xun and other remnants and lurked down.
But he continued to secretly plot, so he killed the emperor and wanted to seize the throne again.
Zhao Liulang knew that back then, Xiao Ben's grandfather, King Xiao Hong of Linchuan, had planned a palace transformation with the intention of seizing the throne. Emperor Gaozu (Xiao Yan) forgave this younger brother and did not go into it in depth.
Xiao Hong's son, King Linhe Xiao Zhengde, was once the son of Emperor Gaozu, because Emperor Gaozu had no son at the time. However, after Emperor Gaozu had a son, Xiao Zhengde returned to his sect and felt resentful.
He defected to the northern country and was unpopular. He did not repent after returning and still did evil.
Now, it is the third generation's turn, and Xiao Ben, the Marquis of Jian'an, plotting to rebel, Zhao Liulang despised this in his heart: Xiao Hong was a group of three generations, and each generation had the intention of rebeling traitors.
Such a traitor, if it is assassinated, the other party will be too cheap. He will definitely tell the world his crimes to let the world know his ugly face.
After long-term preparation, Zhao Liulang and his companions have cast a big net. When the evidence is conclusive, they will catch Xiao Ben, his minions, Xiahou Xun and others in one go, so that they deserve their crimes.
