Mu Nanzhi suddenly kept his head up and said seriously, “I will spare no efforts to make some wild boar meat for you.”
Lu Zhishan’s mouth twitched and he replied, “...all right. Then I will just wait to eat wild boar meat.”
The midnight of the next day.
Xie Lun entered the study of Marquess Ning.
“Did you just say that Zhao Liren visited Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion just now?” Lu Zhishan knitted his brow.
“Yes, Zhao Liren went to Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion when it was dark and came out half an hour later. I followed him and saw him return his home. Then I quickly came back to report it to you, my highness.”
Lu Zhishan picked up his teacup and was about to drink some tea. But suddenly, he heavily put the teacup on the table and instructed, “Take my token to find Ma Ruilin, the leader of guard troop. Tell him to search every street carefully. Catch those people who looked unusual.”
“Yes. I will go to the guard troop now.” Noticing the expression on Lu Zhishan’s face, Xie Lun knew that there must be something serious that had happened. He quickly took the token, got out of the gate and hurried to the guard troop.
The guard troop was responsible for guarding the capital city. Its master Ma Ruilin was Lu Zhishan’s old friend and had ever worked for him. So he respected Lu Zhishan pretty much. Though it seemed that he had no connection with Marquess Ning, he had visited Lu Zhishan for several times.
The Taoist priest just argued with Marchioness Deng and then she sent her people to kill him. He went to the court of the capital city because he wanted to report a case or he wanted to ask for protection. But the next day, Zhao Liren went to Marquis Zhongyuan’s Mansion. Apparently, Zhao Liren had known all the secrets and got in contact with them on his own initiative. Naturally, they should have made a deal with each other. No matter what happened, it would be hard for the Taoist priest to live a long time.
Lu Zhishan really hoped that it was not too late.
He didn’t go to sleep all night. While the day was breaking, Xie Lun raised the door curtain and came in. Seeing the expression on his face, Lu Zhishan eventually heaved a sigh of relief.
“My highness, you are really amazing. They found the Taoist priest and two officers at three quarters past four. The officers were at the point to kill him. The Taoist priest would be dead if they came a bit later.”
Lu Zhishan rubbed his forehead and said, “How’s it going now?”
“The people of guard troop directly took the two officers and the Taoist priest back. They should be interrogated now.”
“Well, you have been busy for a whole night. Just go back to have a rest.”
“All right. I will go now, my highness.”
As Xie Lun withdrew, Lu Zhishan called over Song Fu and said, “Song Fu, tell someone to go to princess’s mansion and tell princess not to go out these days. Just stay at home and tell others she is scared so she can’t go out.”
“Okay, I will do it soon.” Song Fu took the order and withdrew, though he was still pretty confused.
That afternoon, the senior officer of capital city Zhao Liren, Marquis Zhongyuan and his wife as well as the Taoist priest was brought to emperor. Then the truth was out.
Marchioness Deng was the only daughter of the previous master of Bureau of Astronomy. In this case, he regarded her as the apple of his eye and taught her all his skills. That was why Marchioness Deng knew the rites of the Zhou Dynasty and celestial phenomena well at a young age though she was just a girl.
