Chapter 753: Messenger
Minglan's forehead was twisted into Sichuan characters.
Third Young Master Chu's eyes didn't almost pop out, and he rubbed his ears and said, "Did I hear it wrong, someone sent a coffin to my sister-in-law?"
The maid nodded like pounding garlic, "Third Young Master Chu heard it right, it was the coffin that was sent, just in front of the gate of the palace." ”
Third Young Master Chu let out a long laugh, "Then I have to go and see who is so bold and dares to send a coffin to the palace, I respect him as a man!"
The Third Young Master Chu, the Fifth Prince, and the Great Young Master Feng walked forward, and Bizhu helped Minglan to walk behind.
There are a lot of maids and maids in the palace gate, and the outside of the palace is lively and lively.
Minglan stepped up the steps, and saw a man riding on horseback outside the palace, in the sun, he was handsome and his back was straight.
Seeing the man, Minglan was stunned for a moment, isn't this the young master An of An Shengzhai?
She has dealt with him anyway, as for sending her a coffin?
Seeing Minglan, Young Master An turned over and dismounted, and said, "I've seen the princess of Liwang." ”
Minglan looked unhappy, no matter who was alive and well, she couldn't be happy when someone sent a coffin, she glanced at the coffin and said, "You gave me the coffin?"
Young Master An shook his head, "I am entrusted by people to be loyal to people." ”
Third Young Master Chu circled around the coffin, knocking and knocking, "The first-grade Nanmu coffin, who is this coffin for Young Master An, I never thought that you might use this coffin yourself?"
Young Master An smiled at Third Young Master Chu and said, "Third Young Master Chu, don't move, don't disturb the cleanliness of the people in the coffin." ”
Third Young Master Chu's hand touching the coffin suddenly retracted, his face turned green, "It's too much to send a coffin, you are still pretending to be a dead person in the coffin, what do you want to do?"
Young Master An looked at Minglan, "There are a lot of people here, can you go in and leave the palace to talk?"
Minglan glanced at the coffin more, and felt that if Young Master An was not tired of being alive, An Shengzhai would not want to open it anymore, and he would not do such a bold thing, so he said, "Young Master An, please." ”
Young Master An walked into the palace with a jade fan, Minglan invited him to the main hall to speak, and the maids in the house whispered, did the princess take the wrong medicine, Young Master An was so disrespectful to her, and invited him into the house to talk, he should be beaten out directly, as long as he is not killed, a broken arm and leg is not a big deal.
After Young Master An sat down, the maid served tea, and Minglan asked who was in the coffin, Young Master An picked up the tea ceremony, "I haven't found a chance to thank the princess of the princess, today I will replace the wine with tea, thank the princess for saving her life." ”
The third young master Chu's eyes swirled back and forth on Minglan and Young Master An, and the sister-in-law also saved Young Master An, but Young Master An sent a coffin, and Chiguoguo's kindness will be avenged.
Minglan smiled and said, "Young Master An is polite, you and I just made a deal, not to mention the grace of saving lives." ”
When she bought Hanyu in Anshengzhai, Young Master An confiscated the money, and only needed a cold jade bottle with a drop of her blood in it.
He was supposed to have been poisoned, and that drop of blood saved him.
Minglan was not interested in these old things, she seemed to know about the coffin, "Who is in the coffin?"
Young Master An shook his head, "I don't know who it is." ”
Everyone," ....... ”
You don't even know who it is, so you send the coffin and your head is squeezed by the door.
I only heard the young master An say, "When I saw him on the way back to Beijing, he was being chased and killed, covered in blood, I was going to save him, but unfortunately it was too late, before he breathed, let me be sure to send his body to leave the palace and hand it over to the princess, and the next person persuaded me to bury him and let him be buried in the ground, but he was on his deathbed, and it was related to the princess, so I risked the disapproval to send his corpse, and I asked the princess to forgive me for the offense." ”
A dead man, it is not easy for Young Master An to drag him around to find someone to ask him who he is, for fear that others will say that he has a brain disease.
Thinking that the man asked him to hand over his body to Minglan before he died, guessing that Minglan should recognize him, as long as he sent someone, he would live up to his request.
Third Young Master Chu said with great interest, "I've never seen my body given away, it's really interesting...... I'm curious who came up with such a disgusting way to give gifts, and I'm not afraid of being whipped, go, let's see. ”
As soon as he entered the house, the stool was not yet hot, and the third young master of Chu went out again, and Minglan also wanted to see who it was.
The coffin was an unfortunate thing, and no one dared to carry it into the palace, and after the third young master of Chu went out, he ordered, "Quickly lift the lid of the coffin." ”
The person brought by the young master An lifted the coffin lid slightly, only to reveal a gap, and the eyes of the stinking person straightened.
Minglan covered his face with a handkerchief, and the third young master of Chu snatched the handkerchief in Bizhu's hand, covered his nose and jumped into the carriage, and after looking at it twice, he said, "I don't know." ”
Minglan covered his nose and glanced over, "I don't know either." ”
A group of people looked at it all over the place, and none of them recognized it, only Chief Manager Chu frowned and said, "It's very familiar, but I can't remember who it is." ”
Over there, the prince rode over, saw that the water in front of the palace was surrounded by people, and said with a cold face, "What's the matter?"
Chief Chu hurriedly informed the prince about the corpse sent by the eldest young master Tuo'an before the person in the coffin died, and then said, "I look at this person well, but I really can't remember it." ”
The prince rode over, glanced at the coffin, and frowned fiercely, "It's him......." ”
"Father recognizes him?" Minglan said in surprise.
Did this man be confused when he died, he should have given his body to the prince, he must have sent it to the wrong person.
The prince turned over and dismounted, and asked Young Master An, "Does he have anything on him?"
Young Master An shook his head, "No, I've searched it all, but there's nothing." ”
It's much easier to help deliver a letter than to deliver a corpse.
The prince glanced at the coffin a few more times, and after the young master An said that before the person in the coffin died, he said that he would not see the princess of the princess Wang Shi, and he would die without turning a blind eye, the prince stared and said, "Let the secretary of the criminal department take a trip." ”
After speaking, he commanded, "Carry the coffin to the house." ”
Chief Chu was stunned, "Lord Wang, this is unlucky. ”
"There's nothing unlucky about it, just do it. ”
The prince insisted, the head of Chu could only let people carry the coffin into the palace, and a large coffin was blocked in front of the palace, and it was not a matter for people to watch.
Previously, Minglan asked the prince who the person in the coffin was, but the prince didn't say, and after entering the mansion, Chu Li asked again, and the prince said, "He is the elder brother of Princess Jin, the eldest master of the Jiang family." ”
Minglan's heart was shocked.
It's actually the brother of Princess Jin!
No wonder she and the third young master of Chu don't know him anymore, after the death of the first prince, the Jiang family's military power was seized, and the family was released, and they haven't returned to Beijing for a long time.
The eldest lord of the Jiang family was hunted down and killed, and before he died, he sent the body to her by name, could it be that he sent a message to Princess Jin?
No wonder Princess Jin didn't say anything before, she wanted to help the Jiang family make meritorious service and return to Beijing, but Princess Jin probably didn't expect her to let her brother pass the letter, but before the letter arrived, she killed her brother first.
The prince passed the word, and soon the Shangshu of the Criminal Department came with the priest, and Minglan stood from a distance with his nose covered to watch the autopsy.
I saw that Master Jiang was disemboweled, and a small jade cylinder tied with silver thread was taken out from his abdomen.
Originally, this thread was supposed to be tied to the teeth, probably because he was afraid that the killer would find out, so he swallowed the silver thread into his abdomen at the last moment.
Sending a message in this way must be extremely important news.
He threw the jade tube into a copper basin and washed it, and then handed it over to the criminal department.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter inside, and wrote two lines of small characters on the tulle, which stunned Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
