Chapter 280: One Word
Prince's Mansion
Zhuang Shihua sat on the edge of the bed. looked at the fat white child lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, his eyes were soft.
When he was born, he was still a red and wrinkled furry child. But after only a few days, it grew pink and white. It's amazing how it changes from day to day!
"Mother, go lie down! The old slave here will guard well, little master, don't worry. Mama Qi on the side was afraid of disturbing the little master's sleep, so she lowered her voice.
Zhuang Shihua gently tucked the quilt for the child, got up, and walked out of the inner room lightly, but did not leave, but sat down in the side hall.
"Mother's ......"
"It's okay to sit for a while. I have been lying down, and my whole body is in pain. "During the confinement, I was not allowed to get out of bed at all, Zhuang Shihua lay down for a few days, and I couldn't stand it.
"Niangniang, the most important thing for a woman to be confined is to lie down and raise. In this way, there will be no root cause of the disease. Mama Qi said bitterly.
"I'll just sit there for a while." After speaking, without waiting for Mama to open her mouth to persuade her, she said, "Is there anything interesting in the capital recently?" ”
When it's boring, listening to gossip is the best pastime. Especially for women living in the house, listening to the gossip circulating on the street is already a daily life, and it is also necessary.
I pondered the affairs of the court in my heart, and I didn't dare to say more. If you don't know anything about the streets and alleys. Then, sitting with Mrs. Baiguan, there is really nothing to say.
Moreover, the relationship network in the capital is complex, and from the direction of street topics, sometimes the trend of the court can be detected.
When Mama Qi heard this, she didn't dare to persuade her more, so as not to upset her master
The deep palace is like the sea, and the heart is like a pearl. Then he whispered, "In the last few days, there have been no interesting things. However, there is a happy event. ”
"Happy event? Which one? ”
"The Gu family and the Wu family!"
Zhuang Shihua listened to the words and raised his eyebrows, "Can the two of them still have a happy event?" "I very much suspect that Mama Qi is saying the opposite.
said that they turned against each other and fought, Zhuang Shihua was more able to believe it.
"Gu Tingyu, the second son of the Gu family, is married to Wu Xin'er, the second lady of the Wu family. I heard that we will get married in a few days. So, it's a happy event. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Shihua was speechless for a while.
Seeing that Mama Qi shook her head, her face was also full of incomprehensible expressions......
Zhuang Shihua tugged at the corners of his mouth, it seemed that there was something to do, "These two are enough to toss." ”
Mama Qi nodded, and said, "The most important thing is that as soon as this family matter was decided, Gu Ergongzi got into trouble again." And it's not a small thing......"
Not a small matter? Hearing these words, Zhuang Shihua instantly became interested.
"Tell me!"
"This morning, the Ministry of Punishment found a body in the wilderness. Then, the government posted a notice with the portrait: If you know the deceased, go to the yamen to identify the body. Then, in the middle of the morning, a man in his thirties ran to the front of the criminal department and cried and said, that is his son! ”
"His son was killed by Gu Tingyu?" If so, it's not a big deal. Although Gu Zhen's career was frustrated. But no matter what, he is also an official of Dayuan. With his current official position, it is not a problem to clean up a flat-headed common man.
The man didn't say that, he just shouted to see Gu Ergongzi. said: His son told him before: I want to help Gu Ergongzi deliver something. Now that his son died suddenly, Gu Ergongzi must know something. Then, without waiting for the official to speak, he took out the things. It's just that maybe it's too sad and too excited. One accidentally, the things in his hand were scattered on the ground, and many people looked at them naturally! ”
Mama Qi said, her voice lowered, "And the one that fell to the ground was nothing else." is full of the affection that Gu Ergongzi wrote to Princess Zhan. Every word and sentence is deep and affectionate, and the affection is long! ”
When Zhuang Shihua heard this, he felt that someone was looking for death. And this game is not very good.
First of all, Gu Er has no feelings for Princess Zhan. Thinking about King Zhan, he didn't dare to fart either. How dare you send those written in the letter to Princess Yu Zhan? If you want to die, it's not such a way to find death. No matter how stupid Gu Er is, he is not stupid enough to be on this. And also......
Accidentally dropped on the ground? Isn't it too deliberate to be careless? And then there's ......
"The person who helped Gu Er deliver things, but is it a descendant of the Gu family?"
"It's not!"
Zhuang Shihua listened to it and said meaningfully, "Really? Could it be that Gu Er doesn't even have a credible and usable person around him? To do this kind of thing, can you also order a person to do it at will? ”
"Listen to the man who said: His son has a good hand at putting things anywhere without even noticing. Maybe it's because of this that Gu Er Gongzi uses him! ”
After all, to send this kind of thing to Princess Zhan, what you want is to be silent and unaware.
Zhuang Shihua smiled.
There is always no shortage of reasons for everything.
However, it doesn't matter what the reason is. Importantly......
What will Prince Zhan think of this? That's the key.
King Zhan is not in a good mood, and Gu Er's life is worrying
Five forces break the sky!
As for Princess Zhan......
Wait for the follow-up!
Penal Department
looked at the man kneeling in front of the criminal department, with a scab figure and crying bitterly. Look at the crowd of people outside. Rong Tian stood in the hidden corner of the yamen and watched, his expression was faint, "He looks sad." ”
A handful of snot, a handful of tears, the white-haired man sends the black-haired man. It's like smelling sadness and seeing tears. That look is very sympathetic.
Rin Wu said in a deep voice, "It's just that it looks sad!" ”
Rong listened and tugged at the corners of his mouth. Yes! It's just a look. Tears passed through the eyes, but I don't know if it was too much?
If it's really sad. The first reaction should be to rush to see your child!
And this father's first reaction before coming to the yamen was to mention other things first.
In his eyes, finding out everything seems to be more important than seeing the child again.
"Princess, my subordinates will send you back to the palace first." Rin Goo spoke.
Rong tilted his head.
It's about her. However, in front of the yamen of the Criminal Ministry Mansion, it was not her turn to ask. Even asking is a passover!
Moreover, this is not something to be happy about, and it is better not to show your head and cause more criticism.
Especially now in the eyes of these onlookers, those who have lost their children are pitiful. And she, Princess Zhan, who is full of love letters, is restless.
Although he was hindered by the prestige of King Zhan, he did not dare to say anything blatantly. However, the balance in my heart is completely unbalanced. Her appearance was not conducive to Liu Zheng's case.
"Lord Liu, I'll bother you here."
"Don't worry, the princess, the lower officials know what to do." Liu Zheng said respectfully.
Rong Tian turned around and walked out of the back hall. Liu Zheng walked out of the mansion hall, walked outside, looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground, wiping away tears sadly, and said in a deep voice, "This official has sent someone to invite the second son of Gu." You should also go back to the yamen with this official for the time being! This matter will definitely be investigated by the officials. ”
"Thank you, little people." trembling, he bowed respectfully, but the man didn't move, only said, "My lord, the little one wants to take my son back for burial first, and let him be buried first." After that, I will go back to the yamen and listen to the questions of the adults. He wept lowly, and his face was full of sorrow.
This appearance makes everyone who sees it feel bad in their hearts.
Liu Zheng nodded, "Ling Lang is in the yamen now, you can go with the yamen!" ”
"Adult, the little one is now weak in his legs, and he really can't walk. Can you bother the adults, and the eldest brother of the servant, and help the younger one carry my son out......"
Take someone back for burial!
My legs are weak and I can't walk!
The above two sentences reveal one meaning, he doesn't want to enter the yamen, and he doesn't want to get out of the sight of the people. This is worried that the people of the government will attack him!
If you are so afraid of death, why do you want to do this? He didn't worry about being scraped alive by King Zhan?
Liu Zheng snorted coldly in his heart, his eyes were heavy, and his face was solemn, "Yang Hu!" ”
"The little ones are here!"
"Help him back to the yamen." As he spoke, without giving the man a chance to speak, he said, "Then send someone to bring back the bodies of him and his son."
Stand out, Cinderella. ”
"Yes!"
Yang Hu stepped forward, but stretched out his hand but was refused.
"Adults, just wait outside! Don't bother the big brother......"
"Nothing to worry about. Since I am your father and mother, I should do my best to arrange everything for you. "Playing official, cousin to the people, Liu Zheng can be said to be at his fingertips.
"Adult ......"
"What's going on?"
A voice interjected. Looking at the person who appeared in front of him, Liu Zheng's skin tightened, and he stepped forward quickly, kneeling on the ground, "Xiaguan knocks on the prince." ”
With Liu Zheng, after the people were stunned, they hurriedly knelt down, "Xiaomin knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Hmmm! Get up! The prince said gently.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
Liu Zheng got up, and the prince's voice came again, "Lord Liu, what's going on?" ”
With so many people gathered in front of the criminal department, it was normal for the prince to ask a question.
Liu Zheng raised his head, wondering in his heart how to say, "This ......" just opened his mouth, and when he saw the person standing behind the prince, his eyebrows jumped. I was irritable and scolded my mother! Damn it.
Look at...... Gu Tingyu!
Yang Hu saw Gu Tingyusi standing behind the prince, and his face couldn't help but change.
The last person who should have appeared, appeared!
Obviously, he had sent someone to Gu Mansion to greet Gu Zhen, asking him to watch Gu Tingyu and not show up in the capital for the next two days before the matter calmed down. How......
"Gu Er Gongzi ......"
Looking at the man who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were shining with tears, and he was extremely excited to see him. Gu Tingyu's brows furrowed unconsciously, and his expression was uncertain.
"Since the second son of Gu has also arrived, then go into the yamen and say......" Liu Zheng was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Second Master Gu, my son is dead, you must know what's going on? You must know who killed him, right? Zhou Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, reached out and grabbed the hem of Gu Tingyu's clothes, and said eagerly.
Gu Tingyu listened to this, his eyebrows were condensed, and he was in the clouds, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Second son Gu, my son Zhou Fei! You asked him to deliver things for you......" he said, taking the pamphlets out of his bosom and handing them over, "That's it." You asked him to send it. But now...... He's dead...... Woowoo woo ......"
Gu Tingyun listened in the clouds.
The prince looked at the booklet, picked it up casually, and opened it at will. Seeing the above content clearly, his face sank, "Ridiculous! Liu Zheng. ”
"The lower official is here!"
"Take him down and interrogate him properly. Where did such smearing of Princess Cham come from! ”
"Yes!"
"Be sure to find out."
"Yes!" Liu Zheng received the order and raised his hand.
Yang Hu led two officials to step forward and wanted to lead people, but they were resisted.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaomin doesn't know what is written on it. However, these are all the things that Gu Er Gongzi gave my son to send to a person! Struggling, whimpering, loud.
Liu Zheng looked at it, and his heart sank!
Toughness is very detrimental to the development of things.
Let the people trust the government. Then, the answer he gives can convince them. Princess Zhan's matter can be calmed down. Can ...... now
If the criminal department forcibly leads people, it will become oppressive with power in the eyes of the world. In this way, any conclusions will become meaningless. Princess Zhan's reputation must have been damaged.
What could have been mastered, but now because of the arrival of the prince, he has become passive.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Liu, please be aware of it! The small ones are really ......."
In Zhou Tong's whimpering, in Liu Zheng's sullen anger, a voice came......
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soft voice entered his ears, and the prince's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head. Seeing Rong Tian, a gentle smile naturally appeared on his face, "Aunt Huang! ”
Rong smiled back. As he bent down, he picked up the pamphlet on the ground that had fallen to the ground under the anger of the prince.
When Gu Tingyu saw Rong Tian, his heart tightened, and his eyes drooped.
When the people saw Rong Lean, their expressions were uncertain.
Liu Zheng stepped forward, "Xiaguan has seen the princess. ”
"Lord Liu, please get up."
Liu Zheng got up, and said lightly, "Passing by, I heard some voices, which seemed to be related to me, so I came and took a look." ”
"Yes!"
Rong Tian looked at the booklet in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Zhou Tong, "Is this what Gu Ergongzi asked your son to give?" ”
"Yes!"
"When did he give it to you?" Rong Tian said casually.
"He didn't give it to me. This one was accidentally dropped by him. I saw it, and I wanted to wait for him to come back to him, but I didn't expect ...... to be choked up and sad.
"That's it!" Rong Tian looked at it and asked casually, "When was the last time you saw your son?" ”
"Three days ago!" Regarding the question of tolerance, Zhou Tong can also be said to have answered all questions. This attitude is very much in line with the sincere fear of the common people when they see the powerful.
Rong listened, squatted down casually, looked at him at eye level, looked peaceful, as if chatting, "How old is your son?" ”
"Just turned fourteen."
"It's still very small! Have you read a book? ”
"No, Xiaomin was incompetent and failed to let him study......" confessed.
"I didn't study, did I follow you to do work on weekdays?"
"Yes, my father and son work as handymen on weekdays to make ends meet. It's my father who is incompetent......"
Hearing this, Rong leaned up and didn't ask any more.
Liu Zheng raised his hand, "Go and carry Zhou Fei's body out." ”
"Yes!" Yang Hu received the order and executed it immediately.
A few casual inquiries. Because of Liu Zheng's change of attitude, the prince instantly became a little more interested in wait-and-see.
I have always heard that Princess Zhan is very different. Today, we may be able to see it.
The people on one side looked at Rong Tian, puzzled and unaware of the marriage. saw what was written in the booklet, plus Gu Tingyu on the side. How can Rong Tian still be so indifferent? I also have the leisure to ask those who have it. It's hard to figure out!
While everyone was confused, several officials walked out carrying Zhou Fei's body.
"Fei'er, Fei'er, my son......" Zhou Tong staggered over and threw himself on Zhou Fei, crying bitterly, sad and sad.
Liu Zheng looked at Gu Tingyu, "Does Second Prince Gu know this person?" ”
Gu Tingyu shook his head, "I've never seen it." ”
When Gu Tingyu spoke, Zhou Tong, who was crying bitterly, instantly became excited, "Second son Gu, my son died just because he was doing things for you." How can you say that now. ”
"I really don't know him!" Gu Tingyu frowned.
"Why are you ......" Zhou Tong's words were interrupted by Liu Zheng before he finished speaking.
"Zhou Tong, are you sure this is your son?"
"My lord, my own son, how could I not recognize ......"
Liu Zheng didn't speak, raised his feet and walked to the corpse, stretched out his hand, and took off the headscarf on Zhou Fei's head. In an instant, a slippery head appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Tong, pointed to the two incense scars on Zhou Fei's head, and said expressionlessly, "Your son follows you around to do work on weekdays." But this little monk is afraid that he can't! ”
Liu Zheng's words came out, and everyone looked uncertain.
And Zhou Tong stared at the slippery head, stunned for a while. Regarding Liu Zheng's words, he failed to react for a while.
In Zhou Tong's stunned, Liu Zheng asked coldly, "Pretending to be a corpse, spreading rumors, and slandering the princess." Say, "What is your heart?" Who told you to do this? ”
The cold question came into his ears, Zhou Tong was excited, instantly came back to his senses, and said loudly, "I didn't, he is really my son......"
"You didn't say your son was a monk."
He ...... He had just been shaved, and I was so sad that I forgot about it......" This explanation is too far-fetched.
"Nonsense! Looking at the incense scar on the head of this little monk, he has been classified as a Buddhist for at least a year. How could it have just been? ”
"No, he's my son, really my son......"
"Really? In that case, let's talk about it. You don't know that your son is a monk. What else do you know? Do you know what characteristics he has? ”
"Yes, I know! He had a birthmark on his calf. Zhou Tong said urgently.
"That leg? What color is the birthmark? ”
"Left leg, green!"
"Yang Hu, lift his clothes."
"Yes......"
Receiving the order, hands, the hem of the clothes is lifted, the left leg is exposed, gray and white. Birthmark? Not seen......
"This ...... How is this possible? Zhou Tong completely changed his face.
And the onlookers frowned when they saw this. Some have begun to whisper. I have a feeling in my heart that I was teased! The sympathy just now has become a joke.
The prince watched, and the corners of his mouth raised a almost invisible arc.
Gu Tingyu was still confused. Listen, it's about him, and the sky is roaring. But I still haven't figured out what it's about.
"Don't bother Lord Liu to handle the case!"
Rong Tian opened his mouth, breaking the silence.
Liu Zheng arched his hand, "Xiaguan will definitely find out the truth!" ”
Rong Tian nodded, and when he crossed the prince, his footsteps stopped. "The Prince's Palace is busy, I'll leave first."
"Aunt Huang ...... slowly" The prince did not finish speaking, and after seeing the tall figure walking slowly, he paused, "Uncle Huang! ”
Uncle Huang!
The two words entered his ears, Rong tilted his head, and King Zhan had walked in front of him.
"Master!"
"Lord Wang!"
"Xiaomin knocks to see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!"
"The lower official knocks on the prince."
The crowd of people kneeling on the ground were directly ignored by King Zhan.
"It's so fun out there, can't you miss it?" Raise your hand and naturally stroke the strands of hair that Rong has fallen on her shoulders. The faint voice reveals an unconcealable pampering.
The corners of Rong Tian's mouth lifted slightly, "I just happened to encounter something." ”
"Really?"
Rong Tian nodded, King Zhan reached out and took the booklet in Rong Tian's hand, glanced at it, and then threw it in front of Gu Tingyu, "Check it out." Look at the person who wants to die, and then go to the palace to report to the king. After speaking, he took Rong Tian's little hand and walked away.
The prince looked at the back of the man who was leaving together and touched his nose. It seems that his idle management made King Zhan very dissatisfied.
Gu Tingyu took the pamphlet thrown by King Zhan for some reason. When he saw the above content, his face changed drastically, and his mouth pursed into a straight line. Then look up......
looked at the big hand holding Rong Tian's small hand. My heart is full of complexity.
King Zhan swept away the wind and rain for her; King Zhan said a word, repel all for her!
Liu Zheng slowly exhaled!
Prince Zhan handed over the matter to Gu Tingyu to investigate, which proved a fact.
There was nothing between Gu Tingyu and Rong Tian. King Cham was convinced. In this way, who dares to doubt, who should dare to talk more!
King Zhan, Rong Tian left and walked away. Around the corner, in the carriage......
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
"Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, ahem...... Ahem...... "The cough can't be suppressed," what's going on in front? Can we pass the carriage? ”
"Yes! The people have dispersed. ”
"That's it! But find out? Cough...... Ahem......"
"I don't get it all yet. However, there must be something wrong with that Zhoutong. ”
"Really?"
"Hmmm! Because the one who died was not his son at all, he wanted to admit it. And I don't know where to get some pamphlets, which write some foul language to ruin the reputation of Princess Zhan. I don't know what to say, full of nonsense. I don't know what kind of heart I have. Lord Liu has already brought people back to the Yamen, and Prince Zhan has also handed over the matter to Gu Er Gongzi and asked him to investigate......"
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
"Miss is supreme in the kingdom of God!"
"Medicine, cough cough ......"
"Uh, good!"
***
"Xianggong, why are you here?"
"This king is superfluous?"
"No, no! Hey...... It's superfluous for me to ask. Rong Tian took King Zhan's hand and looked up at him, unable to take his eyes off.
That look is greasy and seductive. If you are not careful, your heart will be fluttering.
King Zhan glanced at her coldly, and said indifferently, "What have you found?" ”
"Well...... I thought someone would come and claim the body, and we would get another clue. Unfortunately, the truth is not as rosy as we thought. I didn't wait for the clue, but waited for a dog that could bite people. However, such a fuss can be determined. This thing really wasn't done by Gu Tingyu. ”
When King Zhan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Listening to what you mean, you still doubt him?" How? I still think that he has not ...... the rest of his feelings."
"Am I the only one who doubts? The prince should be the same! ”
King Zhan didn't speak, it was an admission!
As soon as Gu Er came back, he made such an accident. In particular, not all the things in the pamphlet are unfounded. There are some words that Gu Tingyu once said to Rong Tian. In this way, it is difficult not to think of him.
In addition, the Gu family's current defeat is directly related to King Zhan. And it is normal for Gu Tingyu to hold a grudge because of this.
But now, seeing Gu Tingyu face the whole thing, he had a confused expression from beginning to end. It has been established that the matter has nothing to do with him.
"I just saw the prince appear, and I was really worried for a while."
"Worried about what?"
"I'm worried that the prince will make trouble for Gu Tingyu!"
Hearing this, King Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm worried about him!" "The voice is long.
Rong Tian smiled lightly, and said, "I'm thinking, if the prince is in trouble." With the prince's appreciation for Gu Tingyu. Then, the prince will definitely stand up and speak for Gu Tingyu! And, what would the Gu family think in their hearts when they saw the prince defending Gu Tingyu so much? ”
When the Gu family knew that King Zhan was completely displeased with the Gu family.
When the Gu family saw clearly, the prince really wanted to win over the Gu family.
So, in order to keep the broken career of the Gu family. With no other choice, Gu Zhen is very likely to move closer to the crown prince.
In this way, King Zhan's anger is very likely to become the crown prince. So, I couldn't help but worry at the time. But now it seems......
King Zhan knows the mysteries better than she does.
King Zhan looked at Rong Tian and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her head. If only the body was as good as the brain!
Rong Tian didn't know what King Zhan was thinking. I just think that King Zhan's move should be a compliment!
Hehe smiled, and as he thought of something, "By the way, I also found this on Zhou Fei's body." As he spoke, he took out a purse from his sleeve pocket.
Looking at the delicate embroidery on the purse, he said to King Zhan, "And the pattern, I seem to have seen it somewhere." But I just can't remember it for a while! ”
King Zhan listened, took his purse and looked at it. The purse used by a woman has no impression at all.
