Chapter 22: Where to Find the Source of Immortals (3)
Chu Yunxi didn't dare to touch the things in this again, so he had to endure the dizziness and tightness in his chest, speed up, and leave this corridor quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The road stretched forward crookedly, and Chu Yunxi ran as he walked, and finally rushed to the end before the fire was extinguished. Standing in front of her at this moment were two heavy stone doors, and she could only pull them open a crack with great effort, but fortunately she was tall and thin enough to squeeze in sideways.
Sure enough, there was a secret room behind the stone door, and the secret room was brightly lit and the fire was shining. She blew out the fire fold and pinned it into her belt.
However, when she was really in it, she was a little stunned, she thought that there should be a huge amount of property obtained by the prime minister and a ledger of silver and silver, but she didn't expect that this was a hall dedicated to Taoist gods.
The lights in the stone chamber come from two rows of long-burning lanterns, a table dedicated to the statue of the god, on which are placed shriveled sacrificial fruits and a cinnabar peony bottle with a few decayed yellow thorn roses. A gilded incense burner of the dragon has thick soot and a lot of broken incense, two apricot yellow futons on the ground for worship, and a brazier for burning paper to commemorate the dead.
Chu Yunxi walked into the incense case, and faintly smelled a bit of blood under the cover of the strong sandalwood fragrance. She walked around the room with her feet up, and reached out and knocked on the walls of the room, which were dull and had no mezzanine. She noticed that she had breathed much easier since she entered the house, so she guessed that there must be something like a vent in the room, and when she looked up, she saw that there were three round holes in the roof. Then he turned back to the incense case and returned his gaze to the idol offered on the table.
The statue on the case is wearing an apricot yellow robe, wearing a crown of five mountains, and the back seems to expose half of the hilt of the sword, and the hilt of the sword has no ears. The face has three strands of beautiful hair, the pinna is narrow, the eyebrows are starry, and the description is elegant, fairy wind bones. There is a poem hanging on both sides of the statue: "Born in Confucianism and met peace, the hanging tassels are heavy and the cloth is light." Who can compete for fame and fortune in the world, and want to serve the emperor and Yuqing".
She sighed, the power-hungry prime minister actually served a pure yang real person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and only liked to fight in the sword rivers and lakes in the secret room, which was really ridiculous.
But to her surprise, this idol was very different from the pure Yangzi she had seen in the Taoist temple, and she felt more and more strange, so she bowed respectfully to the idol with her hands folded, and muttered, "Offended." In order to prevent touching the incense burner vase and fruit bowl, she detoured to the right side of the idol, but saw a green light in the gap between the back of the idol and the wall, she curiously put the two fingers of her left hand in and stroked it, according to the feeling between the fingers, the green light should be a green gem. She pressed hard, and a futon on the right side of the ground suddenly protruded upward. She jumped off the desk in surprise and crouched down in front of the futon to check.
She removed the futon, and protruding from the bottom was a rectangular stone box, which was locked, and she opened it, and inside was a dagger with a gold-studded leather handle and a thick stack of letters pressed underneath.
She took out the dagger and held it in her hand, it was heavy and weighty. She unfastened the hidden clasp on the rhinoceros holster, and the dagger quickly slid out of the holster, shining silver, cold and gloomy, and when she raised her hand to see the shape of the blade in the light of the ever-bright lamp, she was shocked, the tip of this dagger was actually triangular!
She grabbed the corner of the hem of her clothes, held the dagger and poked it hard, and opened the opening to take a look, as expected, it was triangular, similar to the shape of the wound on the white bone she found in the burned old Chu Mansion, which means that the person who died under the pear blossom tree was probably killed by the prime minister!
She felt a chill in her heart, and then thought that even if it was not killed by the prime minister himself, it was also instigated by the prime minister, this dagger was hidden in such a secret room, except for him, only his cronies could touch it, in short, the death of that person was inseparable from the prime minister.
She scrambled as she put the dagger on, and then hurriedly pulled out a stack of letters underneath, about a dozen of them, all of them open, apparently having been seen. She didn't have time to open the letter one by one, so she had to start with the payment on the envelope and roughly judge whether the letter was important or not.
Most of the senders of the first few letters were envoys from various places, and when she turned to the cover of the seventh letter, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately decided to read this letter first, because the signature on this letter was actually Wang Shen, who was Sima of Jiangzhou!
When she read the content of the letter from the beginning, she couldn't help but feel sad and angry. Through the key information in this letter and combined with the situation she knew, she roughly restored the truth of the "Jiangzhou Embezzlement of Disaster Relief Silver Two Cases" that year: this is Wang Shenyuan is a hard-working background, his hometown is surrounded by walls, and he has no relatives in the court, and his palace examination results that year are not bad, but because he has no money to work on, and he can't find someone to rely on, he can't stay in Chang'an, and can only be assigned to remote Jiangzhou.
He worked hard for three years but only rose to Jiangzhou Sima, seeing that those who were born with him on the same list back then and even did not get as good as him in the exam, all took advantage of their family connections or wealth to rise to the top, and made a fortune, he was not angry in his heart, he wanted to get ahead, but there was no way to be promoted, and he started to think crookedly under the eagerness for quick success. It happened that at that time the flood in Jiangzhou, a large amount of disaster relief silver was allocated, and he deliberately befriended Yang Miao on weekdays, so he used Yang Miao to be busy, sent him to hand over, intercepted the disaster relief vehicle from the middle of the way to his home, and then used one of the money to catch the chief examiner of his exam that year, when he was in Chang'an as an official, he found Shen Zhong through his tossing and turning, and after several twists and turns, he finally climbed the high branch of the prime minister, just to speed up the speed of promotion.
And Yang Miao's side has not seen the arrival of the disaster relief silver for a long time, so he can only temporarily disperse his own money to solve the urgent needs of the people. Wang Shen naturally knew that paper could not contain fire, and sooner or later Yang Miao would learn the truth, and with his understanding of Yang Miao, he was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he would definitely not be in the same stream with himself. So he came up with a trick to find a scapegoat and get rid of Yang Miao, a thorn in his side.
Yang Miao was born in Jiangzhou, his father is quite famous in Jiangzhou, and the industry is quite rich and rich, and his wife Liu Yingwei was born in a scholarly family, beautiful and beautiful, and his father is a famous Confucian in the Lianghu generation. Yang Miao is a hundred times stronger than him in terms of intelligence and background, which makes him feel depressed and hateful. Although he usually introduces Yang Miao as a close friend on the surface, he has long had bad intentions in his heart.
Gu Hong, who joined the army in Jiangzhou, became eccentric because he was too upright and resolute, and he became old, his brain was not clear, he often spoke bluntly about political affairs, and scolded at every turn, which made everyone disgusted and notorious. Wang Shen was also deeply troubled, and just took this opportunity to eradicate them together. Therefore, he deliberately created false evidence that Gu Hong bribed the prime minister, and quietly revealed it to Yang Miao through outsiders. Yang Miao came to him to discuss when he got the news, and he deliberately pretended to be upright and angry, and asked him to write a letter with him to impeach the prime minister.
Yang Miao has always been arrogant and dry, vowing to kill to serve the country, but he was fanned by him, and he didn't check for a while, and fell into his trap. After the two dispersed, Wang Shen not only did not write an impeachment letter, but instead wrote a letter of denunciation, exposing Yang Miao's bad intentions to the prime minister.
When Yang Miao's letter was sent, he instructed his subordinates to intercept the letter, and then sent the letter of denunciation and the letter of impeachment to the prime minister, who was furious. Taking advantage of this occasion, Wang Shen offered another plan, he gave one of his concubines to Liu Yingwei as a maid as a maid. Liu Yingwei is a boudoir showgirl, simple-minded, how can she know that officialdom is deceitful and intriguing. He screamed as a sister-in-law, she naturally regarded him as her own brother, and treated the maid who sent her with courtesy, never thinking that there was a vicious conspiracy hidden in it.
The prime minister secretly made his henchmen expose the corruption of the two people in the Jiangzhou disaster relief silver in front of the emperor, and the emperor sent the Qin to investigate, and on the day of the visit, Wang Shen set up a banquet at home to wash the dust of the Qin mission, and invited Yang Miao and his wife and a large and small official in Jiangzhou to accompany him. When the banquet was drinking, Wang Shen's subordinates quietly came to the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion with four carts of silver, and his concubine had already drunk the guards in the Assassin's Mansion according to his instructions, she opened the back door, and a few people sent the official silver into Yang Miao's study without telling the world.
When someone informed Wang Shen that it was done, he dressed up, killed his relatives in righteousness, and exposed his friend's corruption in front of the Qincha and Jiangzhou officials. Then the assassin's mansion was searched, the maid testified, and all parties worked together to play a good show of thieves shouting to catch thieves.
Although Yang Miao escaped, Liu Yingwei was killed, Wang Shen forced the second elder of the Yang family to death, occupied the ancestral house of the Yang family, and bribed everywhere with the property of the Yang family, and finally got what he wanted to replace Yang Miao, becoming the new Jiangzhou assassin history!
