The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Second Prince's Mansion, Study Room.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Facing He Lianhuan's gloomy expression, He Lianji's facial features became tangled.

explain?Even he was confused. He had explained everything that happened that night in detail in his letter. What else could he say?

Helianji looked bitter.

"Brother Second Emperor, what is written in the letter is what I know. It was my failure in doing things this time that allowed Lord Helian to take advantage of the situation. As for the rest... I have nothing to say."

He Lianhuan looked calm:

"How can you be sure that it must be Lord Helian who did it? Where is the evidence?"

"Does this still need evidence? Brother Emperor, don't you know how heavy the blood was on his body that night? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was him who did it. Who dares to put all our people to death except him? He usually pretends to be like He is like a quail, but he is secretly more ruthless than anyone else."

Helianji finished speaking matter-of-factly, his teeth itching with hatred.

"Brother Second Emperor, how on earth did he do it? There were 62 people, not a single one was left alive."

62 people?He Lianhuan immediately grasped the key point.

"Didn't we only send 52 people? The extra ten were sent in by you later?"

Helianji shook his head and said doubtfully: "Those ten people are not ours. Is it possible that Lord Helianji deliberately killed ten of his own soldiers to make up for the loss..."

Halfway through his words, He Lianji met He Lianhuan's subtle eyes, which were like looking at a fool. He immediately chose to shut up to avoid being regarded as a fool by the second emperor brother if he said too much or made mistakes.

"I told you not to underestimate Lord Helian, but you turned a deaf ear to me."

He Lianji's expression was shaky, and it was not entirely his fault. It was because He Lian Jue's disguise was too good, and not everyone was as smart as the second emperor brother, who could easily see through He Lian Jue's disguise.

He Lianhuan's eyes were sharp and his expressionless face was cold.

He dipped his pen in ink and wrote the word "ten" on the paper.

Helianjue was scheming but not a vicious person, and would never do anything to kill his own people to avoid being suspected.

Those ten people didn't belong to Helianjue, let alone them, so they could only be from Helianzheng or Concubine Wen.

Helianzheng had always looked down upon Jue Helian, and it was unlikely that he would send ten agents at the same time to monitor Jue Helian's every move. Therefore, these ten people were undoubtedly Concubine Wen's people.

After reasoning to this point, Helianhuan's eyes became colder and colder, and he suddenly realized that this trip to Lingshan might have been planned by Helianjue.

Is the purpose just to get rid of the people surrounding him?

No, He Lianhuan felt that he had missed some important clues.

Think about it, think about it...

For a moment, He Lianhuan's mind flashed to the scene of that sunset.

He asked Helianji to take the initiative to ask Helianjue how to solve the problem of winter clothes. After Helianji asked, Helianji told him: Helianjue wanted to kill the cow and get the skin.

Because of this incident, Helianji also laughed at Helianjue for being stupid and said, "I would rather hunt for animal skins than kill cattle for skins."

At that time, he thought that Helian Jue was smart but was fooled by his cleverness. It turned out that the reason why Helian Jue said that was to deliberately expose flaws to attract his attention, and his purpose was to attract all the details to him.

As a result, he and Concubine Wen fell into the trap and suffered heavy losses.

He Lianhuan's hand holding the pen tightened, and the ink dripped on the paper and smeared, turning the word "ten" he had just written into pitch black.

If it was extremely unwise and unwise to expose oneself just to get rid of Xi Zuo, Helian Jue must have other purposes.

Only by using himself as bait and attracting all the eyes to him, his unknown secret will not be easily discovered.

What happened that made Helianjue not hesitate to expose himself?

He Lianhuan recalled what happened during that time, and suddenly remembered the closure of the cloth shop in Yong'an City.

A lot happened that day.

It was a "very coincidence" that he and He Lianzheng led a team out of Yong'an to promote the crime bank.

It was a "very coincidence" that he caught up with Helian Jue and Helian Ji taking their troops to Lingshan for hunting.

The legitimate daughter of the Gu family, who never left the house, also "very coincidentally" went out on this day and even went to the cloth shop.

All the coincidences put together are definitely not coincidences.

Therefore, distribution is the key to the problem.

Is it the cloth line that Helianjue's actions are trying to cover up?

Gu Wangshu went to the funeral to... deliver the news?

He Lianhuan's guess is getting closer and closer to the truth, and his reverse reasoning ability is top-notch.

It was not easy for Gu Wangshu and Helianjue to find a way to solve the problem, but it was even more difficult to reason out their solution.

Just like police officers solving cases with counter-investigation capabilities, the difficulties faced by the police are far more difficult than when the suspect committed the crime.

He Lianhuan could use his unique reasoning ability to unravel the true purpose of Gu Wangshu and He Lianjue and reveal it bit by bit.

Seeing that He Lianhuan was in a daze, Helianji swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the second emperor's brother's thinking.

After about half a cup of tea.

With a "click", the pen in his hand fell on the table. He Lianhuan covered his face with his hands, and his deep laughter seemed to be self-deprecating, more like the excitement after meeting a strong opponent.

Helianji nervously asked, "Brother Second Emperor, are you okay?"

"Haha... He Lianjue's trick of building a plank road to infiltrate Chen Cang secretly actually deceived me."

"Ah?" He Lianji looked confused: "Why build the plank road openly and covertly visit Chen Cang?"

He Lianhuan slowly put away his smile, his eyes were terrifyingly calm.

"If I'm not wrong, all the cloth shops in Yong'an City are closed because they are transporting winter clothes to the border."

Helianji was greatly frightened and stood up suddenly.

"Impossible, how is this possible? There is cloth in the cloth shop but no cotton. How can we make winter clothes? Even if we make winter clothes, these profit-seeking businessmen cannot send them to the border in vain. It is impossible, impossible, Brother Second Emperor, you This speculation is so ridiculous."

"Is it ridiculous? Haha -" He Lianhuan sneered.

It is because it is too ridiculous, too unbelievable, and too unreasonable that it is deceived by others.

"The more people ignore something, the less likely it is to attract attention. This is the essence of concealing the truth."

"But... Helian no longer has enough cotton to make [-] soldiers. How are those merchants going to make winter clothes?" Helianji still thought it was impossible.

But He Lianhuan became more and more firm in his conjecture.

He thought about this problem the moment he ordered Zifeng to follow Bu Xing.

"Businessmen traveling all over the world will only have more knowledge than us. Maybe there is a winter coat that can replace cotton and have the same thermal insulation effect."

Helianji's whole face was wrinkled.

"Helianjue is from the royal family, how could he cooperate with a lowly businessman?"

"Why not? If it were me who knew that merchants can solve the problem of winter clothes, I would definitely put down my dignity and choose to leave the matter of raising winter clothes to merchants. Only when there is a country, there is a family. If the country is gone, the royal family is nothing."

"..." Helianji was silent. Even after thinking about it, Helianji felt it was unreasonable.

"Since Lord Helian has a solution for winter clothes, why should he let a businessman do it? If he succeeds in this matter, he will definitely be rewarded by his father."

"Award? Are you sure?"

When He Lianhuan asked him this question, He Lianji lost half of his confidence.

"Indeed... sure, this is the achievement of rescuing [-] soldiers at the border."

He Lianhuan knocked on the table.

"It's a good thing for Helian, but it's a bad thing that Concubine Wen doesn't want to see. Can she allow this to happen?"

He Lianji's eyes widened, and when He Lianhuan pointed it out, he suddenly understood.

"What the Second Emperor Brother means is that Helian Jue has already understood that Concubine Wen will not allow such a thing to happen, so he went to Lingshan to hunt openly. In fact, it was to attract Concubine Wen's attention, and he really wanted to raise winter clothes. But it’s those businessmen from Buhang?”
