Chapter 870: The Empress Dowager's Harem Regiment Nineteen
As soon as the court began to report on the flood situation in Balang County, the sky has cleared in the past two days, so that the water has not become more rapid, and the advance team of the Qincha has arrived, and the imperial list is posted everywhere, so that everyone knows what kind of policy this is.
Balang County is quite stable, and there has been no riot and boycott, so Zi Yao is still a little more at ease, although she wants Tan Guijun's two daughters to be quickly demoted, but she doesn't want to sacrifice the people of Balang County and Xijiang Jun.
Just thinking about it, a burly figure stood up and reported in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, it is reported that the Goryeo prince Li Mingxun of the Tainu Mansion hanged himself yesterday, so how can the ministers explain to the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom!"
Zi Yao glanced sideways slightly, the person who spoke was Qiu Yunhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and his shrewd and capable eyes glanced at him twice from time to time.
[Master, this Qiu Yunhan and General Tan are in-laws, and his husband is General Tan Yunqi Tan's brother-in-law, the two have no contact on the surface, but secretly they are extremely close, master be careful!]
The empress also glanced at Zi Yao, since she put forward the proposal to deal with the flood, the empress no longer wanted to be the same as before, she was lukewarm to Zi Yao, and turned to Zi Yao and asked gently.
"What is Yu'er's explanation for this?"
Zi Yao was rude to the empress, "Mother Emperor Mingjian, the son has something to ask Qiu Shilang." ”
The empress didn't speak, nodded kindly, the third and fourth looked at each other, probably because they didn't expect Zi Yao to get such a chance to justify, the two of them instantly became vigilant, and Zi Yao looked sideways at Qiu Yunhan.
"Lord Qiu just said that it was reported, so the main palace wants to know where this report came from, you must know that Lord Yin Fang of Gyeonggi Prefecture is strictly sealing the news, and the East Palace can only enter and exit, so where does Lord Qiu know?
Could it be that I, the Great Yan Kingdom, from the third rank of the mansion, want to report the secrets under my jurisdiction to the servant of the fourth grade?"
Qiu Yunhan never expected Zi Yao to refute from this aspect, and all the rhetoric he prepared was useless, and he was stuck all of a sudden.
"Wechen ~ Wechen learned from listening to others' discussions!"
Zi Yao sneered, "Heh, among the civil and military officials of the current dynasty of my Great Yan Kingdom, there are people who are lawless, openly slander the princess of the dynasty, and distort the facts of the murder case.
Lord Qiu, then tell me who is talking about it! ”
Fang Xiangyuan was originally extremely worried about this imperial lady, but when he saw such a battle, he really sweated for her, you must know that this Lord Qiu is a mad dog, biting people and not spitting, she is General Tan's powerful eagle dog.
Qiu Yunhan heard that he knelt down and fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister's heart can learn from the sun and the moon, and the minister can't answer such a question, if you really want to be punished, you can punish the minister alone."
The minister is just worried that the Great Yan Kingdom will be disgraced by other countries, and the Goryeo Congress will denounce my Great Yan because of this, so that when the border war starts, it is still the people of my Great Yan Kingdom who suffer!
With such an excited speech, Zi Yao applauded her, to retreat as advance to be able to find a step for herself in such a short period of time, and not expose the person behind her, no wonder General Tan wants to find such a younger brother's wife, he is simply looking for the best accomplice.
Zi Yao took a step forward, "Mother Emperor, Lord Qiu's guess makes Erchen dumbfounded, I don't know whether he is instructed by someone or really worried about the country, if he is really worried, how can he come to attack Erchen when he hears such rumors?"
Erchen felt that it would be better for Lord Fang to tell the facts of the case. ”
The empress nodded, no matter what Qiu Yunhan said today, whether it was true or not, she had committed a big taboo.
is to sue the empress in front of the empress, such an act is a slap in the face of the empress, the empress knows that Qiu Yunhan also knows, so Zi Yao picked out this point, it is easy not to hurt people, since it is provocative, it is necessary to kill the chicken and the monkey, and treat it well at one time, so as not to be bitten by her.
Fang Xiangyuan was named by the empress, walked forward quickly to the middle of the civil and military officials, and bowed with a wat board in his hand.
"Emperor Qiqi, yesterday at three o'clock in the afternoon, received a report from the East Palace Lady's Mansion, saying that the prince of Goryeo Li Mingxun was killed and disguised as a hanger.
It was found that the Goryeo prince Lee Myung-hoon had two strangulation marks on his neck, one parallel to the neck, and the other was inserted diagonally from the neck to the back of the ear in a figure-eight shape, and the two marks were basically the same depth, and a shield-shaped mark was found on the hairline edge of the back of his neck.
When the deceased's body was examined, it was found that there were scratches on the deceased's wrists and arms, and fingernail pinching marks, which were not caused by the deceased himself.
At this point, the case has been decided, but the main perpetrator has not been caught, but the characteristics of his body are still known, and the traces in the shape of the shield have been drawn.
Please look at it, so the person is involved in the harem steward, so the investigation of the murderer is deadlocked. ”
Fang Xiangyuan handed over the two pictures hidden in his sleeves to Mr. Pang, who presented them to the emperor, and after looking at them carefully, the emperor asked Mr. Pang in a low voice, and Mr. Pang nodded.
"Fang Aiqing has worked hard, since you have found the harem, let Pang Xiangyu accompany you to investigate, no matter who you find, if any of the servants obstruct it, directly send this person into the cold palace, and Pang Xiangyu will follow this to announce the decree. ”
Hearing the empress's attitude, Fang Xiangyuan bowed and saluted, "The minister obeys the order." ”
That Lord Qiu was instantly stunned, and glanced down at General Tan, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around, this Fang Xiangyuan found the key to the case in such a short time, why didn't General Tan tell himself such details?
The empress glanced at Qiu Yunhan who was standing on the side, "Qiu Aiqing!"
"The minister is here. ”
"I want to know, how did you get the news......"
Qiu Yunhan knelt on the ground with a wat board, "Yesterday afternoon, the minister and his friends met for a drink, and when I returned home, I passed through the north gate of the East Palace, and I happened to see some people carrying a corpse wrapped in white cloth coming out.
A few subordinates hid their noses there, during which someone mentioned the identity of this person, and then two officials from the Gyeonggi Prefecture followed out, and drove the person away in this way, and the minister got out of the car in civilian clothes, and immediately inquired in the crowd.
The subordinates of the East Palace all said that this person did not want to return to Goryeo, so he hanged himself, and the minister immediately became worried, and returned to the palace to quickly send someone to inquire.
I hope the emperor will atone for his sins!"
