Chapter 104: Doubt and Anger

The Empress Dowager Meng leaned over slightly, whispering to Miss Meng Shiv, and didn't seem to notice the movement here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at this situation, Sheng Weiwei and Xu Caifu are still ignorant, but Sheng Weiqiao's older juniors will be happy, this girl is only afraid that it was arranged by the Queen Mother - although I don't know why the Queen Mother didn't ask directly, but made such a big turn, but Sheng Weiqiao felt that she had a clear conscience, so she bowed her head: "Please say!"

"My brother and his entourage arrived in Bishui County at the beginning of October, and during this period, Danmo Lou did not go less. The girl looked directly at her and said unhurriedly, "But it's always safe and sound—why did you go to Danmo Tower, and your brother and Meng Bagongzi both went wrong? The most important thing is that you came north to Chang'an in order to send two scholars to take the exam, but it was still early, even now, and it was far from the time of spring." Why do you enter the port at noon and leave in a hurry when it gets dark at night?"

"In this situation, it seems that I have done something weak-hearted in Bishui County, and I can't wait to escape?"

Sheng Weiqiao was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never thought that his side would be suspected of being the real murderer who killed Meng Boheng and Rong Qingdrunk at the same time!

Nan's face couldn't help but change, and he said urgently to the Empress Dowager Meng: "The Empress Dowager, the courtiers guarantee ...... with their lives."

"Don't worry!" Seeing this, Empress Dowager Meng couldn't continue to pretend not to hear, so she had to stop whispering to Meng Shixi, and said in a kind voice, "The mourning family also believes in you, otherwise why would you let those children come to Chang'an safely and undisturbed?"

Concubine Mo is Mo Xiuyi in the time of the first emperor, the biological mother of King Gaomi, and the grandmother of Rong Qingdrunk.

At the beginning, Emperor Xiaozong wanted to establish King Guangling, but was opposed by Huan Guanlan and others in the name of "no grandson", Guangling Wang's biological mother Rou Guifei hated the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Meng, if it were not for Huan Guanlan and others staring, there was a group of old people left by His Majesty Emperor Zhaozong, the grandfather of today's son, I am afraid that the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Meng will not be able to survive the toss of Rou Guifei.

After Empress Dowager Meng came to power, the first thing she did was to force Concubine Rou to be martyred for the first emperor, and the second thing was to order Concubine Rou's maiden family to be copied.

Originally, she would definitely attack King Guangling, but Huan Guanlan and other courtiers disagreed, these people supported the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne because they really believed that in the absence of a concubine, the eldest son should be established in an orderly manner, not because the biological mother who favored the younger son should set up the younger son.

- In short, their choice is to uphold the ancient system, follow the etiquette law, be selfless, and loyal to the community, but not to sympathize with the situation of Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son in the palace and meddle in the housework of Emperor Xiaozong's harem!

Handing over Concubine Rou and Concubine Rou's maiden family to Empress Dowager Meng to be angry is already their bottom line, King Guangling is the son of the first emperor, or the prince who was the first emperor's favorite and never forgot to entrust the important ministers before he died, how could Huan Guanlan let the Empress Dowager Meng move him?

In particular, King Guangling was not yet ten years old at that time!

At this age, even if he knew that his biological mother, Concubine Rou, was quite ruthless to Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son, and almost tried every means to put Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son to death, many courtiers also thought that the child was innocent and should not be angry with him because of what Concubine Rou had done - in the laws of the dynasty, even if it was a major crime of beheading, King Guangling's age would not be enough to be executed!

At that time, the Meng family was not yet prominent, and the new monarch needed the assistance of Huan Guanlan and others very much, and the Empress Dowager Meng did not want to sit on the throne of the Queen Mother and be miserable, so she had to endure it first!

Second, when today's son is not angry, he will soon degenerate from the much-anticipated Ming Jun embryo to a faint monarch, and it is too late for Empress Dowager Meng to help her mother's family seize power, and she is even more afraid that King Gaomi will use this as an excuse to usurp the throne, and she really has no time to specifically target King Guangling.

As a result, under the protection of King Gaomi, King Guangling has survived until now.

Although the life must be cautious, the princess has not been lost, and after hiring Princess Gaomi's maiden niece Zhao Taojiao as her daughter-in-law, she has no fear: as long as King Gaomi does not fall, Empress Dowager Meng can't handle him now.

As for Concubine Mo, she hadn't targeted Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son before-she didn't need to target her, because there was Concubine Rou - although she was not good to Empress Dowager Meng's mother and son, but with Rou Guifei, the target who made Empress Dowager Meng hate her so much that she couldn't wait to eat her alive, Empress Dowager Meng may not like her, but she is not happy not to kill her like she did with Rou Guifei.

In addition, Concubine Mo's biological son King Gaomi was vigorously cultivated by the first emperor before his death, with many hole cards, strong power, and deep scheming.

Concubine Mo's mother is more expensive than her son, but she is more and more at ease in the palace, and the queen mother has to give her some face on the scene, otherwise maybe it will be the turn of King Gaomi not to give the queen mother on the scene.

At this meeting, Empress Dowager Meng mentioned Concubine Mo, and the implication was nothing more than that the Meng family had reached a certain agreement with the Gaomi Palace, and this question was going to be carried out today.

Nan's heart was both annoyed and worried, but she was just a marquise in the end, the queen mother and concubine pressed it down, and then she wanted to protect Sheng Weiqiao and them, but she really couldn't protect them, so she could only smile and say to the girl: "Please also ask the county lord of Deping to raise his noble hand, after all, these children are going out for the first time in their lives, they have never seen anything in the world, and there is anything rude and ignorant, please don't be surprised!"

The girl said with no expression: "I just want to find out who killed my second brother, and I don't mean to make things difficult for you." ”

After giving Nan a soft nail, she raised her chin towards Sheng Weiqiao, "You also heard the words of the Queen Mother, say it! If it really has nothing to do with you, I can't trouble you." ”

Sheng Weiqiao was angry, and when Empress Dowager Meng was watching from above, he could only hold it and said: "The county lord only said that on the night we went to Danmo Tower, Meng Bagongzi had a problem with the little prince of Gaomi Palace, but he didn't say that in the evening of the same day, a few of our sisters got into the carriage, and at the gate of Danmo Tower, a sudden sharp arrow was directly shot through the neck of the horse pulling the cart! If it weren't for the timely rescue of the left and right, our sisters were afraid that they would all fall out of the car!"

"Dare to ask the county lord, if the county lord is a girl from a small family like us, and it is the first time in his life that he goes out of the house, and there is such a thing, the shopkeeper of Dan Mo Lou said that it may be the bandits...... What would you do?"

Without waiting for Lord Deping to answer, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "You may have the courage to continue to stay in Bishui County and investigate the matter thoroughly before leaving, but we don't have such courage, after we finally returned to the ship, we just want to leave Bishui County immediately and hide away to be at ease!"

"After all, as the county lord said, the most important thing for us to come to Chang'an this time is the admission of my brother and Brother Xu next year!"

"Since Bishui County can't make us feel safe, how can we still let the two brothers continue to stay there?

Empress Dowager Meng exchanged glances with the left and right, and muttered to analyze the truth of what Sheng Weiqiao said.

This answer makes sense, and Sheng Weiqiao thinks that his group has nothing to do with this matter, and even a little suspects that the current interrogation is a conspiracy against the Ningwei Hou Mansion and the Sheng family, which will be written from head to toe "wronged" and "This is a naked, naked frame-up" - Empress Dowager Meng thought for a while, and nodded her chin imperceptibly to the county lord of Deping.

Lord Deping asked knowingly: "Although what you said is reasonable, it is only possible, and there is no substantial evidence. In fact, not to mention my brother's injury, just talk about the missing Meng Bagongzi, in order to find him, during this time, the entire Bishui County was turned over. Not only that, but on the day of his disappearance, all the carriages, horses, and ships that entered and left Bishui County within three days before and after were all intercepted and searched!

She looked at Sheng Weiqiao, "The only thing that passed through Bishui County during that time and was not searched was your ship!"

"We had already left Bishui County at the time, and we didn't know about it. Sheng Weiqiao looked at her without flinching, "However, according to the county lord, when the search began, it was not difficult to catch up with us, and we never deviated from the main route, and we docked a few times in the middle, and received several letters from Uncle Xu Shi and Aunt Nan, and it was not that there was nowhere to find them! Why didn't the government, the Gaomi Palace, or the envoys from the Zheng Guogong Mansion try to inform us? If we knew about this, we could stop the ship at any time for inspection!"

"Even now, the sea ship we took to the north is docked near the mouth of the sea, and the building ship is outside Chang'an City—it can be searched at any time!"

The county lord of Deping said lightly: "It's been so long, what kind of clues and traces can't be destroyed? Especially when the ship is sailing on the sea, why throw it into the ocean, but where can you find it?"

"The county lord's words are really ridiculous!" Sheng Weiqiao originally reminded himself that this is Xinshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lives, and the Queen Mother is watching from above, so she can't be too presumptuous, but the more she listens to this Deping County Lord, the more she doesn't like it, the more her heart is on fire—it is also because Sheng Lanci and his wife spoil their daughter too much, Sheng Weiqiao doesn't have much experience in lowering his eyebrows and forbearance in front of the superiors - his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he sneered, "According to what the county lord said, aren't all the boats, carriages and horses that didn't catch up that day suspicious?"

"The former is a vast sea, and evidence can be thrown into the sea! The latter is vast, and who knows if it was burned and buried under some inconspicuous flowers and plants?"

"Isn't this the county lord saying that whoever is the murderer is the murderer?!"

The county lord of Deping glanced at her in surprise, obviously she didn't expect this girl to be so excited, just a daughter of Shi Hanlin, in front of the queen mother, dared to turn her face and cross-examine herself, the county lord who came forward to interrogate in the face of the queen mother's concubine?
