(third update)

When Nalanjing came out again, it was already half an hour later.

Gu Bai was sitting in the Xing Punishment Chamber of the Prison. He had just dragged out a person who was covered in blood. When he saw her walking in without changing her expression, there was an unfathomable and mysterious wave in her eyes.

When the others saw Gu Bai's expression, they left with a wink and stood guard outside the door.

Nalanjing pulled up a chair, wiped the blood on it, and sat across from him.

Gu Bai glanced coldly.

Nalanjing was used to his unusual squinting at people. She put her hands on the table and said seriously: "According to Fang Xuelin, Fang Wenjing was indeed pregnant when she left the Li family. After becoming Liu Xiang's concubine,

Another son was born, but she has only seen the Liu family's child, not the other one."

The Liu family can accept a prostitute as a concubine, but they may not be able to accept a prostitute with a child. The child is most likely hidden by her.

"Fang Xuelin also said that the son Fang Wenjing gave birth to in the Liu family suffered from congenital insufficiency and was a sick child. Is that child still in the Liu family now?" Nalanjing asked him.

Gu Bai nodded: "Mrs. Liu Si does have a son under her knees. He is the fourth son of the Liu family. He is raised in the name of the eldest lady. He is about thirteen years old."

Gu Bai had met that child that day.

"Then the other child may have been hidden by her." After exchanging information, Nalanjing said seriously: "Now we need to find out what is going on in that village and make sure everything is safe before we can arrest Fang Wenjing."

"Well, I will send someone to check." Gu Bai nodded casually.

"No." Nalanjing shook his head and said seriously: "I don't trust others. We must go there in person, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain if we alert the enemy."

Two of us?

Gu Bai narrowed his eyes, with danger in his eyes: "Mrs. Rong, are you teaching me how to do something?"

"No..." Nalan Jing raised his brows with a serious expression: "I'm inviting you to go on an outing together."

"..."

Before sunset, Nalanjing and Gu Bai had already explored the surroundings of the village.

The village is called Jiulong Village because there is a steep mountain peak at the back that looks like two long dragons. It is said that the mountain peak is not very high, but the terrain is winding and winding, so it is easy to get lost.

Also due to geographical reasons, there are many natural poisonous miasmas around Kowloon Village. Many people who went up the mountain in the past fainted and died on the mountain for no apparent reason. Gradually, Kowloon Village has become deserted.

About ten years ago, there was a severe flood in Jeju. There were refugees all over the Southern Chu Kingdom, including many in Beijing. Those refugees somehow got to Jiulong Village and began to settle here.

At first there were only a few dozen people, but later they grew more and more. The deserted Kowloon Village had obviously become a gathering place for refugees.

Thousands of refugees began to take root in Kowloon Village and lived there for a long time.

They have also adapted to the life in Kowloon Village. Now the people in this village live a pretty good life. They all make a living by blacksmithing.

As we all know, blacksmithing is a craft job that can earn you a living, but it is also very tiring. Every household in Jiulong Village learns blacksmithing. There are many blacksmith shops in Beijing, and many of them are doing very well. If they take orders that are too busy, they will always find them.

Of course, the cheaper the blacksmith makes it, the better. Kowloon Village is the cheapest labor force.

When the surrounding villagers mention Jiulong Village, they all look down upon them, probably because they look down on the refugees from other places. Because of this, the people in Jiulong Village are also very united. They usually go in and out together, and they don’t offend anyone, let alone the surrounding people.

Deep friendship with the villagers.

After asking about it, Nalanjing and Gu Bai looked a little solemn.

Last night, what they saw was obviously a well-disciplined civilian organization.

A disciplined mass organization, every household makes a living by blacksmithing...

Nalan Jing, who was once the Crown Princess of Da Chen, has a keen intuition engraved in her bones. This matter is definitely not simple.

After Nalanjing and Gu Bai returned, Rong Xuan was already at Gu Bai's house, with several guards in royal robes staring at him eagerly. This man was silent, but his aura was so high that it made people feel fearful.

After Gu Bai dismounted, a Jin Yiwei immediately came forward to report Rong Xuan's visit.

Gu Bai glanced at Nalanjing who was standing aside. She swung her riding whip and walked quickly inside.

Gu Bai coldly hummed, threw the whip to Jin Yiwei, and followed him in.

His clothes were flying, and he was covered with chills. He faced the man in the courtyard through the air, and there seemed to be sparks flying and crackling in the air.

Nalanjing was a little surprised to see Rong Xuan, but she was very happy: "I was just about to go back, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Rong Xuan retracted his gaze, looked at Nalanjing, reached out and naturally took the whip from her hand, and placed it on the table.

Gu Bai crossed his arms and sat on a chair nearby, listening to Nalanjing and Rong Xuan talking about the situation in Jiulong Village.

Finally, she said: "I suspect that the people in Kowloon Village are not refugees at all. They are most likely Liu Xiang's people, but they took advantage of the floods that occurred more than ten years ago to live in Kowloon Village. As for why they are in Kowloon Village, there must be another reason."

.”

The floods more than ten years ago, the refugees, the blacksmiths...

After Rong Xuan pondered, he spoke in a low and magnetic voice: "In the evening, I will go with you to explore the truth."

Nalan Jing nodded, that was exactly what she meant. Rong Xuan was once a prodigy in solving crimes in Shangjing. He was familiar with the crime files in Shangjing, and he knew some things better.

Gu Bai's narrowed eyes flashed with surprise. Rong Xuan suffered from a mouth disease after that serious injury and was unable to speak, but he was cured?

In the evening, the servants served a table of food, with Rong Xuan and Gu Bai on the left and right, and Nalan Jing sitting in the middle.

The atmosphere was very strange, and Jin Yiwei in the dark felt cold.

But the people involved felt fine, and everyone ate in different places, and no one said anything.

After dinner, Nalanjing told Rong Xuan that the imitation confession had been presented to the palace, the Fang family was imprisoned, and Fang Xuelin confessed some of Fang Wenjing's secrets.

Now Liu Xiang doesn't know that they are eyeing Jiulong Village, thinking that it was Jin Yiwei Qu who tricked him into getting Fang Xuelin's confession.

Of course, it's not surprising that Fang Xuelin didn't confess to the Liu family. After all, it was Fang Xuelin who came into contact with Fang Wenjing in the whole matter. She had never met anyone in the Liu family. Fang Xuelin didn't know much about it. How could she confess to the Liu family?

It is no longer a secret that Fang Wenjing is the fourth wife of the Liu family, but the Liu family insists that they were deceived by Fang Wenjing and have no idea of ​​her true identity.

Of course, Mrs. Fang met Liu Xiang in Jiulong Village, but Mrs. Fang and the other Fang family members went into the Prison Department Prison.

The Ministry of Punishment is not the Jinyiwei imperial prison, but many members of the Liu Xiang Party. If Mrs. Fang dares to say anything that involves the Liu family, she may not even have the chance to speak.

Now they want to solve the mystery of Jiulong Village while Liu Xiang is still staring at the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Otherwise, Prime Minister Liu will make his next move soon, catching them off guard.
