Chapter 218: Catch them all

Wu Shanghua said angrily: "What other reason is there? Now that human and physical evidence are afraid, Ruan Shuoren and Qu Xiaoguan colluded to steal the royal treasures, and they should be deprived of their titles according to the law and abolished as concubines." ”

I looked directly at Wu Shanghua and said, "Crown Princess Niangniang, you are going to wipe out all the side concubines who have positions in the East Palace!" Then he smiled and said, "This is really a big deal for the crown princess!"

Wu Shanghua was stunned for a moment, and reacted that his words were inappropriate, but he quickly said indifferently: "This palace has always been rigorous and fair. Even if you are clever and sharp-tongued, what can you do?

Wu Shangxian stepped forward and pulled Wu Shanghua's sleeve at this time, signaling her to restrain her temper. He bowed down and said: "The queen's mother, the crown princess's mother, and the maidservants and maidservants who enter and leave the palace gate must be searched." These twenty-one belongings must be taken out of the palace, and the palace gate guards must have internal responses. Weichen has already checked, Ruan Liangdi's clan brother is Ruan Qiren, the general of the Right Prison Mansion. And Yuan Qian has been out of the palace seven times, all of which are the days when General Ruan Shen is on duty!"

Wu Shanghua solemnly bowed to the empress: "The queen mother Mingjian, the Ruan family steals treasures and controls the palace ban, which is really ill-intentioned! At the same time, report to his father and the emperor, arrest Ruan Shilang and Ruan Shen General, investigate their contempt for the royal family, and supervise the crime of self-theft, and correct the dynasty!"

I stood up and said with a smile: "The crown princess is worried about the country and the people, and she cares about the inner palace and the former dynasty, so I really have to high-five and admire!"

My eyes turned cold, and I said: "I want to applaud the crown princess's clever means of eliminating dissidents! This is not only to make no more Ruan Liangdi in the East Palace, but also to uproot the Ruan family! Ruan Shilang was worried that the escort of others was not dedicated enough, so he personally led a team to escort the supply of heavy grain and grass, and went to the front line of counterinsurgency half a month ago. During this war, your brother and sister did not attach importance to state affairs, but they only remembered to frame Zhongliang here! Don't you know that the commander of the front line was none other than your grandfather, General Wu Jianye?

Wu Shangxian's face turned pale suddenly, but Wu Shanghua pulled her brother aside and reprimanded: "The theft in the palace and the grain and grass on the front line are two things! Merit should be rewarded, and guilt should be punished! Do you think they can cancel each other out?"

I bowed my head and said, "What the crown princess said is reasonable. But since it is a crime, there is no reason to listen to only one side, please let me ask for details. If we are guilty, it is not too late to punish us. ”

Wu Shanghua hesitated for a moment, took a few steps back and sat back on the table, and said in a small voice: "Forgive me, you can't make a splash." ”

I smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Qian: "Yuan Qian, how many treasures have you secretly hidden for Ruan Liangdi?"

Yuan Qian said without thinking: "Twenty-one, the maid remembers it clearly." ”

I nodded, "Good, just remember clearly." The palace maids have all been taught by the Inner Palace Shangwen Bureau, and they are rough and ink. You are here, in front of everyone, write down the names of these 21 treasures, and draw their appearance! Go to Nguyen's Mansion and write down who the treasures are to or where they are hidden!"

Wu Shanghua immediately spoke out to stop her: "Nonsense! She is a maidservant, where does she have this ability? You are obviously difficult for a strong man!"

I smiled and said unhurriedly, "You don't need to draw finely, you just need to have an outline." Since she handled a series of things such as private collection, entrainment out of the palace, and handing over to the Ruan Mansion, she was naturally impressed by these treasures! I glanced at the beads of sweat dripping from Yuan Qian's forehead, and suddenly said, "Or is it that she has never done these things at all, so she doesn't know what these treasures are like!"

The queen has sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Yuan Qian knelt there, grabbed a brush and drew on the paper the appearance of the boy holding the Lingzhi riding elephant ornament.

I smiled faintly and said, "Yuan Qian, you don't need to paint this one." And all the people in the temple saw it, and knew what it was like. ”

Yuan Qian froze when she heard this, and her shoulders began to shake again.

Mama Jin said in a low voice at this moment: "Yuan Qian, you have to write out the name of the device well, the altered places on the booklet are clear, there is no possibility for you to get past!"

Yuan Qian's eyes flashed, and she immediately began to write. After half a cup of tea, he said in a low voice: "The maid is done." ”

I got up and took the paper and looked at it: sure enough, I wrote twenty-one rare items with the names of the treasures. I knew in my heart that this was because Mama Jin woke her up with a message. At the moment, he smiled and asked: "Why are all shriveled warehousing names, and they don't paint a single look?" I often go to the Ying Palace, and most of them have been furnished in Ruan Liangdi's inner hall for several months, can't you paint a single one? Aren't you a henchman waiting every day by her side, are you actually a henchman who can't enter the inner hall?"

I handed the piece of paper she wrote to Ye Shanggong and presented it to the queen, and Shi Shiran walked back to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "That's strange, such a secret thing, do you have to order you to do it in a public place? Sister Ruan is not afraid that the wall has ears?"

Wu Shangxian opened his mouth and said: "This servant girl is as timid as a mouse, and she has always had a difficult conscience because she listened to her master's words and stole royal goods, and today she is too frightened in the palace, and she can't draw anything unusual! ”

I looked at Wu Shangxian indifferently, and the look of surprise in his eyes was quickly overshadowed by anger. I smiled and said, "Master Wu, have you picked up twenty-one stolen goods?"

Wu Shangxian's eyes flickered, and he replied forcefully: "For the time being, I only found this one." The others must have been hidden too deeply by the people of the Ruan Mansion, or they may have been sold again. ”

Ruan Liangdi retorted: "My Ruan Mansion has a very strict entrance, and it is not so easy for you to find someone to mix it up and plant it." Naturally, there is only one piece!"

I deliberately spoke: "What Master Wu said also makes some sense, but I don't know which shop in Beijing with a signboard dares to accept treasures from unknown origins and with the fire seal of the inner library?"

Wu Shanghua sneered: "You are really unheard. There is still a black market in Beijing, what do they dare not collect!"

"Which deacon of Ruan Mansion is negotiating with the black market and delivering goods?

Ying Chunchun laughed when he heard this, "There is a time limit for when you return to the palace after leaving the palace. This servant girl is so capable that she can accomplish so many things in a short time. Sister Ruan, my sister dared to ask you for it, but you can't be stingy and refuse to give it. ”

Ruan Liangdi said: "Such a backstabbing and, my sister dares to ask for it? Be careful of being killed by her one day!"
