Chapter 122: The Truth (2)

Pei Rongbai looked at Hong Ji with a surprised face on the opposite side, and twitched his lips: "I don't know where your gold came from, but I know that you must have smuggled it in a flower boat at the port, and then transported it to the pagoda temple in the city.Here, there is a project in the Pagoda Temple, which is to cast a bronze Buddha and transport it to the capital. You take this opportunity to cast a Buddha statue with gold, then disguise it as a bronze Buddha, smuggle it to the capital, and then let the people of the capital take care of it.Gods can't know, ghosts can't see changed the Buddha statues, this plan is in absolute secrecy, no one will doubt... As for the money obtained from plundering passing ships at sea, it will be deposited in Baocheng Bank, and then let the Xie family over at the capital take it out and make fake accounts, am I right?"

The more Hong Ji heard it, the more frightened she became - who is this person in front of her, and how did he know about their overall plan?This matter can't be more secretive, and it will never be leaked out. How did he know it?

Pei Rongbai seemed to have seen through her mind, and took the initiative to say: "I guessed this matter based on the clues I found, but I still don't know exactly what roles Meng Jiushen and Fang Lun played in this.Who is behind the scenes?"

Seeing that he had already seen through the mechanism, Hong Ji stopped concealing it even more, and said, "My adoptive father... is also Meng Jiushen, he is responsible for protecting us, and when someone goes to him to file a complaint, he pretends to investigate the case, but in reality it is all delays.As for the smuggling of gold, he and Fang Lun jointly discussed and colluded with Fanshang, and asked my men to smuggle it with the monks of the Pagoda Temple. I was just running errands, and he was making the connection between the two parties."

"Where's the mastermind behind the scenes?" Pei Rongbai asked.

But Hong Ji suddenly looked straight at him, her eyes were so stubborn that it wasn't normal, Pei Rongbai's pupils suddenly dilated, and just as she was about to say something bad, Hong Ji suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow", and thenBright red blood flowed from the ears, nose, and eyes of Swift, his head tilted, his eyes widened, and he died.

Pei Rongbai got up awkwardly, turned around and walked out, and said to Ling Fengqi who was pacing outside: "Fengqi is not good, Hong Ji was silenced! Who gave her what she ate today, go find it quickly!"

Ling Fengqi was shocked, the blood on his face faded, and he said: "Okay!"

Pei Rongbai looked at Ling Fengqi leaving with an unfriendly expression, feeling annoyed in his heart - he was silenced by someone!He hasn't even asked for any evidence against Meng Jiushen and Fang Lun!

This time not only lost the breakthrough point, but also might scare the snake away, giving the other party time to destroy the evidence!

He was feeling annoyed when suddenly a familiar voice said with a smile:

"Mr. Bai is worried that Hong Ji died and there is no evidence?"

Pei Rongbai looked around and saw Mei Zihe appearing in the yard, he was wearing a blue satin cloak, his handsome face always had a smile on his face, and this moment was no exception, Pei Rongbai chuckled lightly, and said: "Mr. Mei...Ah, no, I should call you Mr. Jiang."

Mei Zihe was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, rubbing his chin with admiration in his eyes: "As expected of a Lord Prime Minister, he really observes every detail and knows everything. I admire you."

"That's also thanks to Master Jiang's reminder." Pei Rongbai walked down the steps, looked at him with a tacit smile, "that day Jiang Qing led my wife and I to the flower boat to meet Miss Xing'er, Miss Xing'er told usI was reminded of a big case that happened in the capital two years ago... I think, Mr. Mei, you are a good accountant, and I am afraid that it is not something that can be trained by the people - only a member of the household department, Wailang, can do it.Counting so many silver taels clearly, not to mention Jiang Xueren fled abroad, so far there is no news, I speculate that you are probably that Jiang Xueren in disguise. You came to Ninghai Prefecture to investigate the missing one thousand taelssilver?"

Jiang Xueren nodded, his smile turned into a sigh, and was about to say something when Ling Fengqi came back in a hurry, saw Pei Rongbai and said:

"Early this morning, the kitchen sent a bowl of porridge. Hong Ji hadn't drunk it, but the tea on the table was delivered yesterday. I asked the boy who brought the tea, and he said that he was called out while the tea was boiling., so I don’t know who went there.”

Pei Rongbai frowned - it seemed that the other party knew about Hong Ji's capture a long time ago, and had planned to kill someone to silence her last night!

"It doesn't matter, Lord Prime Minister." Jiang Xueren said to him, "I have evidence, even if Hong Ji is silenced, it doesn't matter."

Pei Rongbai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to say something when suddenly a black-clothed dark guard flew down in front of him, and said anxiously:

"Master, Madam has been taken away! Jiang Shang, Xia Xuan and the other two chased her out together! Mr. Qiao happened to see it, and chased her out too."

"What?!" Pei Rongbai couldn't care about anything now, and immediately turned back.

Before a stick of incense.

After Pei Rongbai went out, Qiao Songyu couldn't sleep anymore, mainly because he was hungry and bored, so he got up to wash and change clothes.

He changed his clothes, opened the door and said to Jiang Shang: "Jiang Shang, ask someone to bring over some hot water and a bowl of noodles, I'm so hungry!"

Jiang Shang smiled and said respectfully, "Yes!"

Qiao Songyu was in a good mood. After all, Pei Rongbai had talked sweetly to him for a long time in the morning, and the weather was particularly good today. When he opened the door just now, he saw the blue sky and the sun shining brightly. Therefore, he turned around and opened the window of the room.The gardenia is blooming, and it is blooming fragrantly at this time!

As soon as he opened the window, a very fragrant fragrance came to his nostrils. He sniffed it intoxicated, but he smelled a very strange fragrance. It was not the smell of gardenias... He was trying to distinguish what it wasSuddenly, a human face hangs from the window!

"Ah——" he screamed, took a big step back, and was about to call Jiang Shang, but felt that his whole body was limp, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to shout, and he felt that he was falling to the ground bit by bit——

The man in black at the window hurried into the room, grabbed him and carried him on his shoulder.

He watched helplessly, but couldn't yell out. He was extremely anxious, and only the sound of "Hehe" came out of his throat.At this moment, I heard Jiang Shang's stern shout:

"Put me down, madam!"

Qiao Songyu looked at him anxiously, but felt that his body was getting farther and farther away from Jiangshang. He saw Jiangshang at the door of the room chasing him with a fierce face, and shouted:

"There are assassins! Xia Xuan has assassins!"

Qiao Songyu was carried on the shoulder of the other party, and he could no longer see the river. He only felt that he was lying on the horse., as if it was someone’s roof—all this made him extremely uncomfortable, nauseated and frightened—he was afraid that the assassin would take him away, and he was also afraid that the assassin would throw him down halfway, and he only prayed in his heartWatching Pei Rongbai and his brother quickly catch up.
