Chapter 205: Black Cauldron
Jingzhao Yin and Cui Gongyuan feel that the pressure has been quite great recently.
On the surface, of course, it was because of the case made by the county lord of the Pingguo Mansion, but secretly the emperor called him and told him about it.
The little princess is lost.
Cui Gongyuan wanted to scold his mother, you said that there are so many masters and slaves in the palace, why can't you look down on a five-year-old child? Now I still want him to look for it, this capital is vast, where can he find it?
But did he dare to say this to the emperor? I had to comfort the unlucky parent who lost the child for a long time, and then patted my chest to take over this tricky task and hurriedly searched for someone.
Of course, you can't find it openly, you can only secretly release the news and let the servants visit and find a missing girl. The people at the bottom don't know what's going on, and they're still thinking, isn't it the illegitimate daughter of an adult?
I didn't expect us to do it! There's such a tigress at home, and she's making a girl outside. What I didn't say was something that men understood. If you don't pull an adult at this time, when will you stay?
So he exchanged a knowing look up and down, and searched all over the city. Cui Gongyuan knew that everyone had misunderstood, but could he explain?
No. If you want the subjects of the world to know whether the emperor accidentally lost his daughter, or because he didn't have enough to eat, where will the emperor's face go?
So Cui Gongyuan had no choice but to swallow this dumb loss and carry the black pot for the emperor.
But strangely enough, the black cauldron he found right now was a little unusual.
"Is this really the same pot at the time of the crime?"
"That's right, sir. If this pot hadn't been sold early, it would have been sold. The bun seller said that this pot caused such a big trouble. It's too unlucky to hurt so many people, so don't do it. But the subordinates wanted it, and it still cost a little silver......"
"Okay, okay, this money will be counted in the public back." Cui Gongyuan impatiently interrupted the long-winded head catcher and pointed to the fresh scratch on the edge of the iron pot, "When did you get this?" ”
Hearing that there was a reimbursement, the headcatcher came to his senses, and immediately gushed, "This scratch doesn't even know how the vendor got it." But he can be sure. Absolutely not before the accident. His pot is on the stove all the year round, and he never takes it down, and everyone is afraid of getting hot when he walks by, so he will instinctively avoid it. It is also impossible to get bruised.
And depending on the subordinates. This is by no means the pot that was hit when it fell to the ground. Because when the pot fell to the ground. It was hit on one side, but the scratch was on the other side, as if it had been caused by something sharp. But the place where the incident happened was too chaotic. The subordinates have led people back and forth to search for them three times, but they still haven't found any hidden weapons, and no people have seen any special people appear at that time. But this does not mean that there is no master hiding in the shadows and making a move at that critical moment.
My lord, please look at this depression, it was left by the county lord when he was holding a spear and swatting the pot away, with her strength, and this angle, to be honest, the subordinates don't think they should hurt that son. If the adults don't believe it, they can buy another pot and let their subordinates go to the place where the crime occurred and try again. ”
He finished talking in a rambling manner, only to see Cui Gongyuan looking at the scar for a long time, frowning and pondering.
The analysis of the arrest has basically revealed the facts, and there should have been a third person present at the time of the crime, assisting Ryan in seriously injuring Ouyang Kang. But was that person intentional or not? Was it Rui'an's arrangement, or did Ouyang Kang have another enemy?
The case went back to square one.
Why does Ryan want to embarrass Ouyang Kang on the street? What kind of grudge did she have against him?
If you want to figure it out, you just need to go to the Pingguo Mansion and ask, but what kind of selfishness will be hidden in it? The county lord of Ruian is a bastard, after all, he is also the daughter of Ping Guogong, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if something is not good, how can he get out?
So Cui Gongyuan thought about it, and only asked this mouthy subordinate to do a good job of confidentiality, "This matter can't be known to more people anyway, understand?" ”
"Understood! Adults can rest assured, although the villain talks more, he still knows what to say and what not to say. ”
That's for the best.
Cui Gongyuan put the big black pot into the box, wrote a secret fold along with the matter, and asked people to send it to the emperor.
After a busy day, he came home, but he saw his most uneasy second son, Cui Haozheng, sneaking back. Unconsciously frowned, "Where have you been wild this day?" I'm back now! ”
Alas, Cui Gongyuan has a total of three sons, the eldest son is honest and mune, his qualifications are mediocre, the younger son is still breastfeeding, and he has been sick for three days, only this second son is smart and smart, lively and healthy, but he is not doing serious business, he is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and the rest are loose in everything. Repeated teaching is a headache.
Cui Hao saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to step forward to salute, "I didn't go anywhere to go wild, I went to visit Ouyang Kang with my classmates." We were classmates, he was actually a very good person, but this time he was so seriously injured, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan came to invite, and it was not good to go away. ”
"I'm embarrassed to mention that Guan Yaozu, you are a raccoon dog!" Cui Gongyuan was about to open his mouth to scold, but Mrs. Cui greeted him and hurriedly relieved her son, "Then don't wronged people, Guan Yaozu has learned a lot with that kid from the Ouyang family now." Last time, Mrs. Guan saw me, but she praised others. ”
Cui Hao also said busily, "When I went back this time, I saw that their family had adopted a group of children, and I heard that they were all wandering beggars in the city." Mother, do we have more food winter clothes at home? Let's give some to others, too. Brother Ouyang doesn't have a source, and it's really not easy to raise such a big family. ”
Cui Gongyuan listened to the movement in his heart, and then thought about asking, but Mrs. Cui promised her son to push him away, but interrogated him first, "How did I hear that you are also looking for children recently?" Where did it come from? ”
Cui Gongyuan said in his heart that this is a bad thing that is too talkative? Busy explaining quietly to Madame. Turning his head and wanting to ask Cui Hao again, he felt that it was impossible. Since it was an orphan who was taken in, how could there be a princess inside?
So, when the little chubby girl looked at the hibiscus pool, which was too far away and too wide for her, day and night, she was saddened by the messengers all over the city to find out her whereabouts.
So, empiricism kills people!
Jin Wangfu.
A servant hurried to the room. Xu Ziqian saw him come in and immediately closed the door, "Say, what's wrong?" ”
The little guy looked embarrassed, "The little one was a step late, so he went there to buy a pot, and the official came." I was afraid that I would show my traces, so I had to leave, I thought that if the official didn't care, I would buy the pot back, but I didn't expect to let the official buy it. ”
What the? Xu Ziqian's body shook for a while, and his face was a little white. It's a cold day. I felt sweat on my forehead.
Just thinking about what to do, suddenly the door was kicked open. King Jin came in with a gloomy face, "What are you doing with the house closed in broad daylight?" ”
Xu Ziqian wanted to step forward to explain, but King Jin pushed him away. A wary look swirled across his face and that of the rough little guy. "I've heard. You recently sent you a piece of jade pei that I gave you. What are you doing to use so much money? ”
Xu Ziqian's body trembled violently, and the cold sweat on his head came down. King Jin grabbed his hair, pulled him with a splitting headache, and begged for mercy again and again.
"You'd better tell me the truth! I don't mind how much money you spend, but if I let you know that you raise a little white face behind my back, do you know what will happen to you? ”
"I say! The money, the money I used to buy medicine! ”
"Buying medicine?"
"Yes...... It's me, I heard that there is a medicine that can make people obsessed with a person after taking it, and there is no room for others in their eyes. I, I was confused for a while, and I wanted the prince to always have only me in his eyes, so I believed this kind of nonsense. Unexpectedly, people coaxed me. I gave five hundred taels of silver and asked him to buy medicine, but then I thought that it was inappropriate, the prince was noble, how could he use medicine indiscriminately? I wanted him to get the money back, but people, people ran away! ”
King Jin put Xu Ziqian out suspiciously, "Is this really the case?" ”
Xu Ziqian nodded like pounding garlic, "Don't dare to deceive the prince!" ”
King Jin's eyes were slightly misty, "It's better to be like this, otherwise, you should know what the fate of the Dao is!" But only this once, if you dare to do this kind of thing in the future, this king will never allow you! ”
He snorted coldly and left, Xu Ziqian only felt like he was paralyzed on the ground, and the little guy came over to help him up, "Childe, what should I do now?" ”
What else can I do? Xu Ziqian froze, "Even if there are traces on the pot, there will be no name, in short, don't admit it if you kill it." ”
The little servant responded, but when he saw that the attendant of the palace was coming, he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, at the behest of the prince, I want to make an inventory and register all the valuables here of the prince." In the future, if the son wants to use any money, please report it first, so as not to be deceived again. ”
If you have to take care of everything, what's the point of giving it to yourself? Xu Ziqian gritted his teeth and endured his anger and let someone register. But the resentment towards Ouyang Kang in his heart has added to the layer, if he hadn't had such a face, would he have made himself commit such a wrong thing? Now that he is burned, he still has the imperial doctor to treat him, but what will happen to him?
In the palace.
Gao Xian, who received the black pot and the secret fold, did not speak for a long time, and Wang Cang accompanied the attendants, trembling more and more. Everyone knows that the Emperor of the Dao Dynasty has not been in a good mood recently, and no one is willing to touch that dragon beard.
Who knew that Gao Xian was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Wang Sheren, what kind of person do you say Ouyang Kang is?" ”
Wang Cang was stunned, why did the emperor suddenly ask about this? Afraid that Ouyang Kang would offend people, he replied carefully, "If you want to say that Brother Kang's knowledge is not too outstanding." But for the simplicity ......"
"No, I don't want to listen to this, just ask him what kind of person he is on the surface."
Wang Cang was stunned for a moment, and then replied hesitantly, "If you meet for the first time, I'm afraid you will notice his appearance at first sight." ”
"Looks?"
"Yes. Kang Di was born very well, and he lived so much, and he had never seen anyone who was born better than him. ”
Gao Xian smiled suddenly, and there was a little more relief in his eyes, "Strange way, strange way." ”
Wang Cang was confused, but Gao Xian had already figured it out.
Since it is stunning, it is the gentleman's innocence and guilt. No wonder the little uncle didn't want to say much about the reason why Ruian was entangled with Ouyang Kang, he only said that Ruian was confused, and all the blame should be borne by her.
Do you want to check? Not necessarily.
Mixed with Gao Xian's part, he can estimate that some things move his toes, and he can find out one, two, three, if he really wants to find out, I'm afraid that no one's face will look good. In that case, let's close the case.
But how to tie it up?
It's such a big fuss, someone has to carry the black cauldron. Gao Xian sighed and shook his head.
Wang Cang didn't dare to ask, but prayed in his heart, don't let Ouyang Kang leave a bad impression on the emperor because of this matter.
(There will be three watches today!) (To be continued......)
