Chapter 740: Clues
As soon as half an hour arrived, the maid came in to tell that the time had come, and that it was time for Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang to leave.
Princess Jin was furious, "Father and brother finally came to see me, can't I leave them for a light meal?!"
The maid said in fear, "The concubine is angry, this is the anger of the queen mother, and the slave and maid are just doing things according to orders." ”
Obey orders?
This is the Jin Palace!
In order to avoid the Queen Mother, she is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and she has to be controlled by the Queen Mother?!
Princess Jin has had enough.
Master Jiang persuaded her not to be angry, and said, "The Queen Mother can loosen her mouth, and our brothers and sisters can be reunited once, and we can be reunited twice, and the future will be long." ”
Princess Jin was teary-eyed, she had been looking forward to this day in Kyoto for more than ten years, and she had been looking forward to it for just half an hour, who knows when the next time she will meet?
Master Jiang thought that he could just swallow his anger, but in exchange for the humiliation, it became even worse.
He and Mrs. Jiang went out of the house, and the little servants in the house invited them to bathe and change their clothes, saying that the Jin Wangfu had prepared a new set of clothes for them.
It was prepared by the Jin Palace, not the Jin Princess.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to check carefully, from hair to feet, so as not to leak any news to Princess Jin to them.
Not long after the prince's violent death, the Jiang family was seized by the queen mother by thunder and blasted out of Kyoto, they sensed that something was wrong, the queen mother was afraid that they would contact the princess of Jin, and now they came to such a hand, obviously the princess of Jin was caught by the queen mother.
Back then, the gentle ladies were forced to be like this by the Queen Mother, and in order to spread the news, they all came up with the matter of stuffing the jade tube into the mung bean cake, and the news inside must not be simple.
Isn't it just a bath?!
Just soak it!
Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang took a hot bath in the outer courtyard for two quarters of an hour, and the little maid diligently helped rub their backs, wearing a well-tailored brocade robe, which was a first-class cloud brocade, and it fit very well.
Over the years, Mrs. Jiang has lost weight, Mr. Jiang has become blessed, but the clothes he makes fit so well are to tell them that the Jiang family has been living under the nose of the Queen Mother.
Is this still a family? The enemy is nothing more than that.
Princess Jin knew about this and lost her temper in the inner courtyard, but her mother-in-law blocked the second gate and did not allow her to see the Jiang family again.
Out of the Jin Palace, the old lady Jiang looked at the gilded plaque of the Jin Palace's mansion shining in the sun, and remembered that the queen mother, who was still the queen more than ten years ago, smiled and praised the princess of Jin, who was graceful and graceful, dignified and generous, and the old lady Jiang had blurred tears, if life could be done again......
Fuck the princess, go to her grandmother's power!
It's better to go home and farm, so that the family can be reunited.
After staying in Hongzhou for one night, the next day Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang set off to go back, and after walking for two days, it was determined that the person who was following him had left, and Mr. Jiang rode straight to Kyoto.
This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
The next day, the weather was clear and the sky was clear.
Chu Li was training at the training ground as before, Minglan had nothing to do, he walked around with Bizhu to take a look, and after watching for a quarter of an hour, Chu Li was tired and sweaty, so he took a hot bath in the training ground, changed into a brocade robe, and then came out with Minglan.
Over there, Chief Manager Chu led the Shangshu of the Criminal Department over in a hurry, his steps were eager, and Minglan who was watching said worriedly, "What kind of murder happened here?"
The Criminal Department is in charge of major cases of human life, and the Criminal Department is calm and introverted, which is not a big deal, he will not be so anxious.
Chu Li went to the study with Minglan, just in time to hear the prince ask, "What's going on, Li Shangshu is sweating profusely?"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department smiled bitterly and said, "The murder of the county lord of the eldest princess's mansion has been investigated for so long, and there is finally a clue. ”
This is strange, the palace is not concerned about the killing of the county lord of Changle, the death of the county lord of Changle is obviously a dog eats a dog, the handful of hair that was bitten off, why didn't the Shangshu of the Criminal Department have a clue and not tell the eldest princess and the queen mother first, but come to the prince first?
Minglan felt strange, and the prince was also puzzled, "Could it be that this clue is related to my departure from the palace?"
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department shook his head, if it was really related to leaving the palace, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department handed the jade buckle sent to him by the eldest princess to the prince and looked at it, and said, "Today, the dog went to Zheguilou for a banquet in the morning, and met the king of Beiliang Li County head-on, the dog loves to investigate cases, and usually helps me sort out the file, he has seen this jade buckle, and it is exactly the same as the one on the king of Li County." ”
Wang Ye's eyes tightened, "Do you suspect that it was King Li County who killed the county lord of Changle?"
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department smiled bitterly, not to mention that King Li Jun is the most beloved grandson of Emperor Beiliang, and he is the King of Great Zhou County, and he is not something that can be doubted casually.
But he sent someone to check this jade button, no one has seen it in the major shops in Kyoto, the pattern is simple and unique, and now he sees the exact same thing on King Lijun, so it is reasonable for him to pass King Lijun to the Criminal Department to ask about the case.
But he is from Beiliang and is here to celebrate his birthday, so rashly suspecting that he has something to do with the death of the county lord of Changle is afraid that it will provoke war.
If he left it alone, he would not be able to explain to the eldest princess and the queen mother.
The criminal department is in a dilemma, he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't dare to tell the emperor casually, the imperial study has many eyes and ears, it is safer to leave the palace, and it is almost the same as the emperor to take the idea, after all, for so many years, the emperor has almost no objection to the things that the king insisted.
Chu Li twisted his eyebrows and said, "King Li has no reason to kill the county lord of Changle, right?"
At the beginning, the county lord of Changle was killed because someone didn't want her to marry the third prince, and the power of the queen mother was drawn into the camp of the three princes.
King Lijun is a native of Beiliang, and what he does in the Great Zhou has only one purpose, which is to provoke war.
If he did this to help Empress Zhao and let her continue to fight against Concubine Li, it was completely unnecessary, the Zhao family was cornered, and the resistance would only be more severe.
Chu Li was thinking about the war, Gu Yinlan flashed in Minglan's mind, and he didn't blame her for being the first thing that came to mind when something bad happened.
Gu Yinlan is pregnant with the child of the Beiliang assassin in her belly, the prince's position is stable, and the child in her womb can become the next prince, killing the county lord of Changle, there is half a certainty that the Great Zhou can be subverted without spending a single soldier, and the assassin is definitely willing to take this risk.
But this assassin should not be the king of Beiliangli County.
The assassin came to steal Yuque, and when he kidnapped the county lord of Qingrou and left the palace, he asked her for a drop of blood, he should be the person of the Beiliang National Teacher.
And the county lord of Beiliang Li has a noble status, such a noble county king, it is not so easy to come to Da Zhou secretly, and as far as she knows, the king of Li County is respectful to the national teacher of Beiliang on his face, and he sneers behind his back.
King Li Jun has a very good relationship with Princess Beiliang, that is, his aunt, Princess Beiliang has Gu poison in her body, and his eyes reveal the killing intent of Beiliang National Teacher.
A national teacher who pretends to be a ghost is above the imperial power, and the emperor will meet half a month in advance, but all the backbone princes can't wait to get rid of it soon.
Minglan was distracted, the prince put down the jade buckle, and said, "This matter is temporarily suppressed, and after the queen mother's birthday banquet, I will discuss it with the emperor, and it will not be too late to investigate." ”
The secretary of the criminal department said, "There is Lord Lao." ”
