Chapter 349: Assassin
Mrs. Lin is the son of Mrs. Tai's mother's family in Weibei Houfu, and she has served Mrs. Tai since she was a child, and later Mrs. Tai married into Weibei Hou Mansion and brought her over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, Mrs. Lin found an inconspicuous little maid in the Hou Mansion of Weibei to marry, and was able to stay in the inner courtyard, becoming Mrs. Tai's confidant, and faithfully following Mrs. Tai for a lifetime, which was highly valued by Mrs. Tai.
When Mrs. Tai was dying, she repeatedly told Mrs. Weibei Hou that she must treat Mrs. Lin well and provide for her in old age.
Mrs. Weibei Hou thanked her for marrying into the Hou Mansion, and her mother-in-law had always been quite kind to her, so she was full of answers.
When Mrs. Weibei Hou's matter was over, Mrs. Weibei Hou originally planned to give this Mrs. Lin a large amount of silver, a few Zhuangzi, and then release their family's slave status, which was also worthy of Mrs. Tai's entrustment.
But Mrs. Lin only said that she was reluctant to let her master and didn't want to leave the Weibei Hou Mansion, so she just wanted to release her son's family's slave status.
Mrs. Weibei Hou thought about it at the time and knew that there was such a thing as reluctance to leave the country, so she agreed.
After all, the dignified servants of the Weibei Hou Mansion went out, and their faces were a little more decent than those of ordinary ordinary people.
Besides, this Mrs. Lin has served Mrs. Tai all her life, and she is very dignified in the Hou Mansion, even the juniors of the Hou Mansion have to respect her a little when they see her.
And her biological daughter followed Xu Shuning into the palace, if she continued to stay in the Hou Mansion, the rest of her life would be no different from a peaceful and honorable old feudal monarch.
So Mrs. Hou of Weibei specially allocated a good Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion for her to be raised, and her son's family also ordered someone to take care of her, and the reward was also according to the time when Mrs. Tai was there.
It's just that over the years, Mrs. Lin's health has gradually weakened, and she has been staying in Zhuangzi as she should, only letting her children and grandchildren come to the Hou Mansion to ask for peace during the New Year's holidays.
When I understand it, I can't help but feel angry!
"In the years since Mrs. Tai left, I have never treated her badly, but she has made waves so much!"
Mrs. Weibei Hou ordered someone to immediately go to Zhuangzi to pick up someone and come over for interrogation.
She only thought about her mother-in-law's affection, but she didn't expect others to miss her at all!
As for the people kneeling in front of them, the mother-in-law who stirred up trouble and the maid who passed the word were directly ordered to be sold by Mrs. Weibei Hou, and the family members were all assigned to hard labor.
When people go to high places, they want to get money and a good marriage, which is not a bad thing, but they can't tolerate it if they betray the lord like this and make trouble in the Hou Mansion!
As for Mrs. Geng, Mrs. Weibeihou ordered someone to find the bookkeeper Lao Geng, and handed them over to Weibeihou to deal with.
"I've been doing things in the Hou Mansion for so many years, but I still can't even learn the word 'cautious', let's see how the Hou Ye handles it, lest I say that I have a seizure of his henchmen. ”
Bai Chenghuan has been quietly watching Mrs. Weibeihou clean up the affairs of the family as vigorously as before, admiring it, but listening to this, she is a little worried.
My mother and my father have finally had a harmonious relationship these days, but in the end, it was because of Aunt Zhu's trouble today that she returned to the original point.
And the luck of the mother in Yuzhou is not something that every woman can have.
The Hou Mansion was not very far from the Zhuangzi where Mrs. Lin was, and at noon, the henchmen and servants sent by her came back.
It's just that she couldn't bring back Mrs. Lin, and her expression was very uneasy: "Madam, Mrs. Lin suddenly had a serious illness a few days ago, and now, she is unconscious, can't get up, can't ask questions, looks like she hasn't been alive for a few days, and her family is about to report to the Hou Mansion......
Mrs. Weibeihou's face was gloomy: "The maid who betrayed the lord said that this matter was when she went to visit her blind lady in that Zhuangzi half a month ago, and Mrs. Lin personally explained to her, and it has only been a few days, and she can't get up?"
The slave also felt that it was wrong, afraid that she would have no more bumps on the road, so she couldn't ask anything, and she didn't force her back, but she also found another doctor to see her, but the doctor said that this was a chronic poison, and if it wasn't saved well, in another ten days and half a month, the person should be quietly gone. ”
"Poisoned?" Bai Chenghuan immediately felt strange: "Who would poison an inconsequential mother-in-law in a good manner?" Could it be that there was someone behind Mrs. Lin, who was afraid that things would show traces, so she did something to Mrs. Lin?"
Mrs. Weibei Hou sneered and nodded: "Not bad...... Since that's the case, then I still have to save this Lin Pozi, and ask me well, which one is black-hearted and wants to make a ghost under my nose!"
"Go, get the post, invite Dr. Zhang, the most commonly used doctor in the Hou Mansion, go to Zhuangzi, be sure to save the life of this Lin Pozi!
Mrs. Weibeihou frowned, but the servant woman who received this errand breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out to work everywhere.
Mrs. Weibei Hou took her daughter's hand again and taught her: "Cheng Huan, you see, this director of the house, he can't be slack, as soon as you go that day, your mother seems to have been plucked by someone, and she has no spirit, and she is sick, so there are so many holes in this Hou Mansion." If you are in charge of your own house in the future, you must also remember that no matter when, you must firmly control the back house in your own hands!"
Although her daughter came back from the dead and went through a catastrophe, Mrs. Wei Beihou didn't think that her daughter, who was at a prime age, was left to settle accounts with Xiao Shaoyun in her life.
This account is calculated slowly, and my daughter's future still has to be planned.
Bai Chenghuan lowered his head and smiled, nesting around the neck of Mrs. Weibei Hou.
"Mother, I will never leave the Hou Mansion again, I am not afraid of my mother's presence in the future!"
Mrs. Weibei Hou really wanted to take the opportunity to persuade her daughter to think about it, but after thinking about it, she changed her words:
"That's it, my mother is in one day, I plan for you for a day, and with my mother protecting you, you don't have to be afraid of anything anymore......"
"Then the mother will hurt her daughter less in the future. ”
Bai Chenghuan raised his head and smiled half-truthfully.
"What do you mean by that?" Lady Weibei Hou was very surprised.
Bai Chenghuan sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "Mother, no matter who the person behind this Lin Pozi is, there are people who want to be unfavorable to the Hou Mansion now." If there is really someone staring at our Hou Mansion, but my mother treats me like before, then sooner or later someone will see the strangeness of this. ”
Mrs. Weibeihou's expression was gloomy, and she was silent for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean. ”
As for how to do it, she didn't say at all.
It's her daughter, but she can't even treat her a little better......
The news that Mrs. Lin was seriously ill was not only known to the Marquis of Weibei, but also to Xiurong, who was in the palace, soon to know.
She begged for Concubine Shu.
"Concubine, the slave's mother is sick, and the slave wants to go back and see. ”
Concubine Shu was a little unconvinced: "When you went out of the palace to see your mother a few days ago, wasn't she okay?"
Xiu tolerated and endured, and didn't cry out in the palace regardless of decency, but the sadness in his heart still couldn't stop: "The slave's mother is old, and it is common for her to be weak and sick, and the slave and maid are only worried about whether the lady found something and poisoned her......"
Concubine Shu's eyes suddenly shone coldly.
"It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention the person who was entrusted to her by her mother back then, if Shi Yuzhen really dares to do it, this palace will definitely treat her for a crime of unfilial piety!"
"Concubine, for the sake of the slave's mother, it's not worth getting involved in your affairs anymore, it's better for the slave to go home first and take a look, and then make a decision. ”
Xiurong was anxious, and just wanted to go back as soon as possible, but she was afraid that if the old lady really had a case, she wouldn't even be able to see her for the last time.
Concubine Shu also calmed down and agreed.
Now it is obvious that Shi Yuzhen is in control of the Hou Mansion, and she has no arms in this deep palace, and there is no emperor behind her, if she is hard, she will not be able to ask for any benefits, so it is better for Xiurong to go back and investigate first.
Xu Chenglin made an appointment with Xiao Shaotang, and the two first found a quiet restaurant to eat, drank, and ran around the city, strolling around, until the sun was in the west, and then they dispersed and went home.
Xiao Shaotang looked at Xu Chenglin's back with envy, and really wanted to go back to the Weibei Hou Mansion with him.
Now that Bai Chenghuan has returned to the Hou Mansion, it is becoming more and more difficult to see each other.
But this matter is really not in a hurry at this time.
Xu Chenglin and Xiao Shaotang separated, and as soon as they turned the corner, they met Lin Dian, the son of Yongchang Boshi.
Lin Dian is looking for Xu Chenglin everywhere.
"Cheng Lin, the assassin who assassinated Empress Xiaoyuan has been caught!"
As soon as he got the news from the palace, he thought about hurrying to tell Xu Chenglin.
Xu Chenglin is not treated by the emperor now, and he is still idle at home, and all kinds of news in the court come from these old friends.
At this time, he suddenly heard Lin Dian say this, and he was immediately stunned.
Xiao Shaoyun, has he finally found a scapegoat?
Bai Chenghuan was painting patterns in the house, preparing to embroider a handkerchief for Mrs. Weibei Hou.
Xu Chenglin suddenly broke in, causing Shao Hui and Ah Hua to be dissatisfied.
Even if they are brothers and sisters, when they grow up, they should know that there is a difference between men and women, and they have scruples, not to mention this righteous brother.
Bai Chenghuan didn't say anything, she knew in her heart that if there was no urgency, her brother would not be so rude.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Bai Chenghuan let go of the tricks in his hand, looked up at his panting brother, who was obviously running all the way back.
When the words came to his lips, he was a little difficult to speak.
Xu Chenglin was angry and heartbroken: "The emperor has announced to the courtiers that the assassin who assassinated you has been caught, according to his wishes, this assassin was sent by King Ning." ”
"King Ning?"
Bai Chenghuan was also stunned for a moment, but she didn't have Xu Chenglin's fluctuating emotions, she just lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered all the hatred and unwillingness under her eyes.
Yes, since it has been told to everyone in the world that the queen was assassinated and died, if you don't catch an assassin in the end, it will be difficult to explain to the people of the world.
"Since he said so, the Hou Mansion should be regarded as an assassin sent by King Ning. After all, he can't tell the world that he killed his queen with his own hands, right?"
Bai Chenghuan was as calm as water, which made Xu Chenglin's heart even more sad.
"Cheng Huan, one day, my brother will get justice for you. ”
Bai Chenghuan smiled, but there seemed to be infinite sadness in his smile: "Brother, I believe in you, sooner or later, I believe we will do it." It's just that King Ning is really innocent in this matter...... If the day when he is beheaded, we will send him off, and it will not be in vain that he bears this reputation. ”
Xu Chenglin went out quietly, he really didn't know what else to say to comfort his heartbroken sister.
Bai Chenghuan had no intention of painting anymore.
The lake water is in waves, sending the breeze to the window of Huanyi Pavilion, and I don't know if this flowing water is still the flowing water of that year, and this breeze is still not the fresh breeze of those years.
Everything was completely ruined by Xiao Shaoyun.
Xiao Shaoyun, why you? Why did you kill me with your own hands!
If he had sent someone else and didn't do it to her personally, maybe at this moment, he said that it was someone sent by King Ning, and she would not hesitate to believe it.
But in this world, where are the ifs?
Since he was told by Bai Chenghuan last time, King Jin has been very well-behaved these days, and he rarely set foot in the Hou Mansion, but when he heard the news about the assassin, he couldn't help but come to the Hou Mansion.
"Sister Cheng Huan, the imperial brother has caught the assassin, now, your revenge has been avenged!"
In this way, Sister Cheng Huan's heart knot for the imperial brother is probably gone, right?
"Do you think it really will be King Ning?"
"Since the imperial brother said that it was him, it must be him, hasn't he always been jealous that Sister Cheng Huan is good to me, and jealous that the Hou Ye supports the imperial brother instead of supporting him?
The head of King Jin's analysis is Dao, and Bai Chenghuan is noncommittal. I'm afraid that most of the courtiers also think so, so Xiao Shaoyun dared to let King Ning carry this black cauldron like this.
"Well, then even if what you say makes sense, don't mention this matter again in the future, and that's the end of it. ”
King Jin was very sad. Sister Cheng Huan still doesn't plan to return to the imperial brother.
But in the face of Bai Chenghuan's calm expression, he, like Xu Chenglin, couldn't say anything.
Sister Cheng Huan, wouldn't she be soft-hearted to King Ning?
Xiurong went out of the palace to the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion, but Concubine Shu smiled at An Zhulin, who came to ask for peace: "Look, today's Hou Mansion is a little more stringent than before, do you really dare to go to the Hou Mansion?"
An Zhulin stood in place, without a trace of panic, raised his head and said proudly: "What do I dare not go, concubine, didn't you say it, Xu Chenghuan is not afraid of anyone." In that case, what am I afraid of?"
Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this has a little bit of Xu Chenghuan's charm." ”
"The concubine is wrong, it's not that I have a little bit of Xu Chenghuan's charm, but that I was originally Xu Chenghuan. ”
An Zhulin's eyes were deep, and he was like two people in the past.
Concubine Shu paused and burst out laughing.
At night, Xiao Shaoyun walked alone in the palace, and in the bright lights, he saw a person standing under the flowers and trees on the shore of Taiming Lake from a distance, his clothes dancing in the wind.
"Cheng Huan?"
In an instant, Xiao Shaoyun only felt that his heart was about to jump out!
