The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 134 Bai Zhaozhao's Reasoning

Prince An was so angry that he said, "You're talking nonsense! Zhao Zhao, listen to my explanation!"

Bai Zhaozhao waved his hand: "I don't want to hear it. Do you need to explain such a low-level lie?"

Bai Lin also had a dark face: "Why don't you explain to me, Prince, what does it mean to 'always' covet my sister?"

The middle-aged man saw that there was a play, and immediately said: "Bai Zhuangyuan, you have survived a great disaster, don't be fooled by An Shizi. I know that I have sinned deeply, and I am willing to follow Bai Zhuangyuan to Beijing to testify!"

Bai Lin said expressionlessly, "Come here, take him back to Lu County Jail."

The garrison responded, “Yes!”

Shizi An didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew Bai Lin would not believe the middle-aged man's attempt to sow discord, and it was just a rhetoric.

Bai Zhaozhao took the lead: "Let's go to the back mountain to take a look!"

Bai Lin nodded, walked straight past An Shizi, and said to Bai Zhaozhao, "Stay away from him in the future."

An Shizi: ...

When the group arrived at the back mountain, they were all shocked. It was obvious that this place had been surrounded by a high fence in the past to block the occasional passers-by.

But now it is in tatters and unobstructed.

Walking inside, you can see large and small mines, which are long deserted.

Bai Zhaozhao shook his head and said, "They all ran away, so they must have left no evidence behind!"

Bai Lin and Shizi An also looked around but found nothing, so they had no choice but to return to the county government office of Lu County.

After hearing these things, County Magistrate Wang was extremely shocked and said with a bitter face: "Sir, I'd better resign!"

Bai Lin comforted him, "You will serve as the acting county magistrate first and manage Lu County well. You don't need to interfere with other matters."

County Magistrate Wang was delighted: "Yes, sir!"

After a whole day of hard work, it was finally night. Bai Zhaozhao calmed down and thought carefully, and he always felt that something was wrong.

That middle-aged man walked into a trap and tried to sow discord between Prince An and Bai Lin. What was he trying to achieve?

The more reliable idea at the moment is that the middle-aged man is a member of the Qin Party, and the mine was also discovered by the Qin Party. They then used the Lu County magistrate to massacre the villagers, change the canal, and even framed Prefect Hu. After all these events, the ultimate goal was to open a mine?

When the iron ore is almost mined out, it is natural to end it. In order to avoid being discovered, it is of course most appropriate to find a scapegoat.

The magistrate of Lu County was promoted by Prince An, so Prince An is the best candidate. It would be even better if Bai Lin, a person who is rising in fame, could also be dragged into the matter!

Well, that makes sense. Besides, if Bai Lin dies in the final assassination, Prince An will never be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River. If he doesn't die, it's good for them to suspect each other.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?

But, didn’t you consider that Bai Lin would not be fooled at all and would not doubt Master An?

If we consider this, then if the Qin Party’s plan was exposed, shouldn’t they have taken some remedial measures, such as sending in more assassins?

Overall, Bai Zhaozhao felt that these things were going somewhat... smoothly, as if they were just waiting for Bai Lin to discover the truth and then return to Beijing to expose the Qin Party.

So, it seems that this is a scapegoat? After all, from the beginning to the end, all the evidence points to the Qin Party.

If it’s not the Qin Party, then who else could it be?

Bai Zhaozhao couldn't figure it out, so he could only walk around the yamen from time to time to see if there were any suspicious people.

Until one morning, Bai Lin and An Shizi stared at each other with dark circles under their eyes and returned to the guest room in the backyard of the county government office to rest.

Since Bai Lin brought too many people and there were not enough rooms, Bai Lin and An Shizi had to share a room to rest.

Seeing this, Bai Zhaozhao went up to them and asked, "Where... were you two doing?"

Prince An was stunned: "Sister Zhao got up so early, your brother and I didn't sleep all night! We are so tired!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt a magical CP feeling again, and then she asked guiltily: "You and my brother...didn't sleep all night?"

"Yeah." Bai Lin perked up and said, "We interrogated the middle-aged man for a whole night and found that he was very strong-willed and it was difficult to pry open his mouth. Your insanity powder only made him utter a few words sporadically, and he later committed suicide by taking poison."

"Oh, Zhaozhao." Prince An suddenly took out two pieces of remaining medicine residue from his sleeves and handed them to Bai Zhaozhao, saying, "This is the poison taken out from the mouths of the middle-aged man and the black-clothed beastmaster. Study it!"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Okay."

Then Prince An walked straight into the room, and Bai Lin smiled at her and closed the door.

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

Ah! This weird CP feeling is killing me!

Bai Zhaozhao calmed himself down and studied the two poisons. Well, they were extremely toxic and could kill instantly.

However, these two doses of medicine were different from the poison they got from the woman in white before! So the woman in white was not in the same group with them!

Her purpose was more to seduce and recruit, and she had no martial arts skills. The people behind her did not want to be enemies with Bai Lin because Bai Lin was favored by the goddess, so they used the beauty trap, but it failed.

Of course, this beauty trap is more like a test. If you want to recruit someone, how can you rely solely on the beauty trap?

Bai Zhaozhao felt that the woman in white was more likely a member of the Qin Party. After all, Lord Qin in the original novel was a complicated character, and the most obvious point was that he valued talent.

If this assumption is true, then the mining incident had been planned for a long time and could not have been done by the Qin Party. Otherwise, why would they send a beautiful woman to add fuel to the fire?

What Bai Zhaozhao suspected the most was Cheng Jiayu. It was Cheng Jiayu who planned the plan of Minister Liu to seize power. In the original novel, Cheng Jiayu was appreciated by Qin Ge Lao after planning this plan. It was not until the disaster relief incident that Cheng Jiayu became Qin Ge Lao's confidant. However, no one expected that a few years later he would become the son-in-law of Changxing and betray the Qin Party.

Now that Cheng Jiayu has failed in his attempt to join the Qin Party, he will definitely choose another party, and this party is most likely the Xu family.

Yes, that’s the sense of incongruity!

The core industry of the Xu family is ironware, and the family even has a mine passed down from generation to generation!

What if the Xu family discovered this mine? Wouldn't it be even more necessary to plan this conspiracy?

The middle-aged man was the core figure of this plan. He pretended to be a member of the Qin Party and made the magistrate of Lu County think that he had also defected to the Qin Party. He tempted him to commit these things and could immediately frame him once something happened!

The purpose is also very clear, of course, to make money! Or to accumulate capital, because the Xu family is the maternal family of Concubine Xu, and Concubine Xu has three princes.

He is the only person who can compete with the prince at present.

At the same time, precisely because the Xu family's purpose was very clear and easy for people to associate with, they had to do everything they could to cover it up. I'm afraid that the magistrate of Lu County would never know who he was doing this for until his death.

Although these were all Bai Zhaozhao's guesses, the more she thought about it, the more reliable it seemed to her. If she followed this line of thought, then the Qin Party had not been the one to use the drought to smear Prince An!

Instead, the Xu family took advantage of the drought, successfully framed Prince An, and covered up the mines!
