Chapter Fifty-Nine: Exposed
After three days of investigation, Lao Zhaohua finally found out the forty-year-old musician who was holding a stuffy lion head and a little red mole on the left side of his eyebrows. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingyue gritted her fine teeth, and after listening to the report of the old Hua, she was so angry that she wanted to lift the table, but looking at the old Zhaohua kneeling on the ground, she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, and only lightly ordered him to go down.
After Lao Zhaohua left, she stood aside and asked her worriedly what to do? In the past three days, although Qingyue has focused on finding people, her mind has not been idle, and she has sorted out everything, and now that the clues have been cut off like this, it is time for her to make a decision.
"You go and do something, report to the officer! Let's just say that your sister-in-law and nephew are missing, and you haven't seen them for a few days, and then tell Jing Zhaoyin the residence of the three servants, and let them testify for you. If someone in the Yingchun Building questions that you suddenly have a sister-in-law and nephew......" Wenxiang interjected: "Don't worry, girl, I know how to answer." It's just that we have been lost for many years and have only recently found it. However, there is one thing for the girl to consider, whether to lead Jing Zhaoyin in the direction of 'immortal jumping' (defrauding and smelling money), or to lead in the direction of human abduction? ”
Seeing that Wenxiang was so clever, Qingyue was relieved, and if she came forward, this matter would definitely be able to fool the past.
"The people are missing, the arresters can't find anyone, and all the clues point to a dead person, so they naturally don't dare to knock on your bamboo pole and ask you for money. But the 'fairy jump' is different, they want you to lose your money, they must be anxious, three days and two ends of the door to find you, the east says a clue, the west says a clue, you ignore it, they will be suspicious, if you have been dealing with them, how can you have the time to deal with those idlers, entangled for too long, but will expose our secrets. ”
Wenxiang nodded, changed his clothes and was about to go out.
"Wait, don't forget Ji Niang, she was born as an official prostitute, and she disappeared for no reason, which is also a matter." Qingyue stopped her again.
Wen Xiang turned around and replied, "Yes, please rest assured, I still have this means." I did the errand, and if I can't do the following things well, I won't have the face to see the girl. ”
After Wenxiang left, Qingyue rushed back to the Cao Gang, told Tong Ling about the current situation, and arranged for him to do two things, one was to send Wang Bai's mother and son out of the capital, and the other was to let him arrange manpower to monitor the Wang family and the Bai family in the northwest. After hearing this, Tong Ling immediately went to arrange manpower, leaving Qingyue alone in the hall. It was still early, Qingyue felt a little thirsty, raised the bowl on the table, took a sip of tea, only one sip, so bitter that she almost vomited.
"Tong Ling likes to drink tea, and he is used to making tea. The gang is also full of rough men, and they don't have the habit of drinking tea, and drinking this seems to quench their thirst. The visitor said with a smile.
Qingyue smiled: "It really quenches my thirst, I was dry just now, but now I don't want to take another sip." ”
As soon as the curtain moved, Toutuo came in, Qingyue saluted him, but he wanted to kneel down to greet her, Qingyue jumped away, "That's it, you and I are the same, I can't afford to give such a big gift." Tou Tuo blinked his eyes and said: "Didn't the girl follow the thirteenth master, although the fourth master did not explicitly state, we should also be clever as subordinates." ”
Hearing him say this, Qingyue was stunned at first, then bitter, then cold, and said with a cold face: "The great monk is laughing, the fourth master treats you as a soldier, and has never treated you as a subordinate." I'm a person on a famous brand who dares to take such a big gift from you. The great monk is angry with me, just say, He Bi teases people like this. ”
Toutuo's face flushed, "The monk sincerely respects the girl, and he also sincerely blesses you and the Thirteenth Master, and has no other meaning." ”
From Toutuo's face, Qingyue saw the embarrassment, knew that he didn't mean it, thought about it, and asked him rhetorically: "We made a private lifelong decision, was the thirteenth master told the fourth master?" She made a private agreement with Thirteen for life, which caused Kangxi to be furious, Yinxiang was imprisoned in the palace and changed to imprisoned in the house, few people know about this matter, except for Thirteen, she can't think of anyone else who will tell Yinzhen the truth.
"Yes, the emperor suddenly increased the punishment of the thirteenth master, and the fourth master was naturally anxious, but there was no result after many inquiries, and then I thought of some ways to contact the thirteenth master and ask the reason, and I found out." The embarrassment on Toutuo's face faded a lot, but it was still a little unnatural.
The tricks are exhausted, but the hard work is in vain! Kangxi was afraid that he would pass on the news to Yinxiang, so he moved him out of the palace, but he didn't expect that there was another Yinzhen outside the palace. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival night Kangxi wants to let himself warn Yinxiang, or maybe it was not only Yinxiang who received the warning that night!
After verifying her guess, Qingyue turned to ask others: "The great monk came to the Cao Gang in person today, is there something wrong with Tong Ling?" ”
Toutuo didn't answer her, but his face became more and more tense. Qingyue said understandingly: "It was the fourth master who ordered me not to let me, right?" Then the great monk doesn't need to answer, and I don't want to know too much. ”
"The girl is too careful, it's not the fourth master's business, it's my own business. When I came to Cao Gang today, I originally wanted to ask Tong Ling to ask you to come out and ask, but I was afraid that the girl would not tell me. After speaking, Tou Tuo stared at Qingyue steadily.
Except for the relationship between the fourth master, she couldn't think of anything she had to do with this great monk. But today, his style of acting is very different from the past, he can make him such a neat and hearty person, twists and turns, then the thing he asked should not be a trivial matter, Qingyue has a bad premonition, but this person is standing opposite, waiting for her to reply, she can only bite the bullet and say: "Since you have met, you don't have to trouble Tong Ling, the great monk, please speak." Toutuo seemed to be waiting for her words, and as soon as her words fell, Toutuo hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the girl, do you know a girl named Dai Minmin?" ”
Suddenly hearing this name, Qingyue felt very familiar, but her brain was sluggish, and then she remembered that Dai Minmin, Su Mo'er, Mei Shuang and Jiang Qing, the small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, the maid who did the laundry, Fei Seyao, and Chang Bao......
Seeing that Qingyue didn't respond for a long time, Tou Tuo was very excited, his blood rushed to his face, and he asked anxiously, "You know her, right?" Where is she now? How are you doing? Can you tell me? I ......" Toutuo asked a series of questions one after another, but Qingyue didn't answer any of them, just stood there with a calm face, he stopped, and made all kinds of contacts, his expression became more and more gloomy, and his heart became more and more anxious, if Qingyue didn't want to tell him the truth, what should he do?
And Qingyue was thinking about it, this matter is related to Han Bing, they have been good and evil before, but now they don't know if she is an enemy or a friend? And the most troublesome thing is that Toutuo has too many secrets of Yinzhen and her? Should he be told the truth or a lie at this time? The two stood face to face, as if they had just known each other.
Fortunately, Tong Ling came back at this time, saw that his uncle was there, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, which ended this rather embarrassing scene.
Qingyue turned around and sat down first, and when Toutuo saw her sit down, he also sat down according to his temperament, and said to Tong Ling, who was kneeling on the ground and asking for peace, "Get up." Tong Ling, Uncle Shi, how did I get to the master, please tell Miss Qingyue again. ”
Although Tong Ling had just entered the door, he saw the scene just now, but he didn't know what happened between the two, but Uncle Shi had an order, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he followed the order and came one by one.
"Uncle Shi's surname is Fang, Zhicheng, the word Tiexun, originally from Quxian County, Jiangzhou, and born in Xiucai. Just because the local big Gao clan forcibly seized the villagers' land, the villagers were not satisfied, and asked the uncle to sue the state government, and the uncle wrote the righteous speech, how could the Gao family in Qu County be a close branch of Gao Shiqi, and the joint school government framed the uncle for not writing the lack of pen, and removed the uncle's fame. used roller money as a trap, robbed my aunt, and forced my uncle's father-in-law to death, who was also my uncle's enlightenment teacher. Uncle Lian was severely injured, unbearable to be bullied, jumped into the river and committed suicide, but fortunately was rescued by the ancestor and the uncle. Later, Uncle Shi shaved his head, worshipped Shizu as his teacher, and became a closed disciple of Shizu. ”
Before Tong Ling finished speaking, Tou Tuo had burst into tears, and Qing Yue cast a sympathetic look at him. Tou Tuo wiped a handful of tears: "I was completely confused, I never thought of rescuing my wife who was repaid in time, and then I didn't dare to imagine the result, I kept running away, I didn't try to find it, now I say it's really better than a pig and a dog!" ”
Summarizing the whole story, coupled with Toutuo's concern for Han Bing, and thinking of Han Bing's age, Qingyue had roughly guessed why Tou Tuo wanted to inquire about her. But this kind of implication is shocking, and people have to question it, Qingyue asked tentatively: "As far as I know, Han Bing - Dai Minmin's father is Fei Seyao!" ”
"You can't be wrong, I recently found Yun Niang. Back then, I knew that Yun Niang was pregnant before I left home, and although she was sold to that kind of place, for the sake of my child, she had to endure the humiliation and give birth to Minmin. Later, when Min Min grew up, she was afraid that Min Min would also be humiliated there, so she pretended that Min Min was his child and asked him to take Min Min away. After Yun Niang told me, she committed suicide that night. For so many years, I didn't go to them, so that Yun Niang's life was worse than death, she was looking forward to me like that, waiting for me, I was really not a person, not a person! Toutuo slapped himself, and the sound was loud throughout the hall, which made Qingyue and Tong Ling startled, "Before she left, the only thing she was worried about was Minmin, let me go to her, go to her......" Toutuo's whole eyes were red, not because he had cried, he was no longer the chivalrous man with strong martial arts, but like a crazy bull, and then slapped himself again, and his cheeks were immediately covered with bloodstains, so shocked that Qingyue didn't know what to say. Without waiting for him to slap himself a third time, Tong Ling stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and called out twice urgently, "Uncle Shi", Toutuo's temples bulged, and after watching for a long time, he recognized that the person who grabbed him was Tong Ling, and then gave up throwing his third slap.
Qingyue tried to calm herself, and went through it repeatedly, asking with a hint of luck: "Then why is Dai Minmin surnamed Dai instead of Fang?" ”
"Yun Niang didn't know my whereabouts at the time, and she was afraid that the Gao family would harm her again, so she asked Min Min to take her surname, so that the Gao family thought that Min Min was just a child born there 'by accident'." Toutuo's face was full of pain, his face was distorted and deformed in pain, and the blood marks on his face made people think that he was an Infernal Shura. I had never seen such a gaffe uncle, Tong Ling didn't dare to be careless, and secretly accumulated strength, lest my uncle slap him with his true anger again.
It doesn't matter whose daughter Han Bing is, the important thing is that Toutuo firmly believes it, Qingyue gently twists her fingers, and quietly waits for Toutuo to calm down. Toutuo also knew that he was out of shape, swallowed and breathed for a long time, slowly calmed down, and asked Qingyue: "I don't know the girl, can you tell me Minmin's whereabouts now?" ”
"I don't know, it's true." Qingyue looked at him frankly, "She trained with me, and was later assigned to the prince's mansion to take charge, at first she was loyal to Fei Seyao, and later Fei Seyao was executed by the emperor, so she was loyal to the abolished prince, and wanted to borrow the hand of the abolished prince, kill me, the Wei family, and even the emperor, and avenge Fei Seyao." Later, when the deposed prince happened, she faked her death and escaped, cutting off contact with us. But then, for some reason, she took the initiative to appear again and came to see me a few times. Speaking of this, she turned to Tong Ling: "You have also seen her, the woman you followed and later injured me." Tong Ling was afraid after hearing it for a while, he almost killed Uncle Shi's only daughter, "But now, she has hidden her whereabouts again, I really don't know where she is, what she does, and who she is working for." ”
Tou Tuo covered his face with both hands, tears flowed from his fingers, he cried for a long time, Qingyue handed him a handkerchief, he didn't take the handkerchief, wiped it his face with his sleeve. After crying, his mood seemed to be much better, and he reached out and took out a copper cleats from his arms, "It looks like Min Min will come to you again, if she comes, please give this to her, if she is willing to see me, please arrange it." ”
The thin copper sheet in front of her is simply a hot yam, but she can't help but take it, her mood sinks to the bottom, and all the clever things in the matter let her touch, Qinglian found the old servant, Hanbing found the "real father", I don't know what "surprises" are waiting for her next time? Sometimes you think you have mastered something, but there is always an unexpected reminder that you have not mastered anything!
Seeing Qingyue took the lock piece with a solemn face, Toutuo's head suddenly sobered up a lot, he knew what Qingyue was worried about, although he was a monk, he had been immersed in the capital for many years, and he didn't necessarily know all the Zhuang things that his brothers did, but he also knew that these golden branches and jade leaves were heavier than ordinary people's mortal hearts, because behind them was the nine-fold dragon chair, once it won the title, it could be worshiped by tens of thousands of people, and once it failed, it was worse than ants. He, Qingyue and Dai Minmin are all people who do secret things, and there can only be one master, if in the future, Minmin asks him to do things for that person...... Thinking of this, Tou Tuo shook his head, no, he didn't help their mother and daughter before, so now he wants to plan for Min Min and find a better way out for her, Tou Tuo smacked his lips and said, "I don't know who she is now, I am this identity now." But I believe that as long as she is willing to recognize me, she will be able to listen to me, and when the time comes, I will take her to Boyun Mountain, worship Tang San's mother-in-law as a teacher, escape from the court, and settle in the rivers and lakes. After Toutuo finished his thoughts, he lifted the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured it in.
And Qingyue's mood has not changed at all, although Toutuo has made it clear that he will not give up following the fourth master for the sake of his long-lost daughter. But when the time comes, after he has seen a flesh-and-blood daughter, can he still be so determined? Especially this daughter has been floating for many years and has suffered a lot, can he still be as confident as he is now? Today, Toutuo has lost his temper greatly, what should he do in the future? Qing Yue didn't dare to imagine what it would be like after they met. She glanced at Tong Ling, Tong Ling looked away from her, Qingyue knew that it was impossible to expect Tong Ling to tell Yinzhen. For him, even if Toutuo was not his division commander, it was impossible for him to make a move to tell the truth behind his back.
"I didn't hide the matter of Yun Niang from the fourth master. Being able to find Yun Niang this time is also the help of the fourth master, what the girl told me today, I don't plan to hide it from the fourth master. Tou Tuo saw what Qingyue meant by looking at Tong Ling, and took the initiative to say.
"I don't doubt that the great monk wants to hide something from the fourth master, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, your words won't make Han Bing let go, and I know a little more about her than the big monk. In addition, you are ashamed of her, and you are disappointed by Yun Niang...... The great monk can think about it, Han Bing is not a little girl who can be easily fooled, she is the same as you and me. "Toutuo doesn't deceive her, and she doesn't deceive her heart.
After Qingyue finished speaking, Toutuo had lowered his eyelids, fiddled with the beads in his hand, and was speechless for a long time.
It's time to go back to the palace again, the sunset stretches out the silhouette of people, Qingyue stretches out her hand and blocks the not strong sunlight, it's almost winter, the sun is warm, put her hand away, Qingyue pulled up her cloak and got into the carriage. The carriage staggered along the official road, and the pedestrians came and went in a hurry, all trying to rush home before dark. Qingyue closed her eyes and remembered the city she lived in before, the neon was shining, and the men and women who ate color made the night colorful. The carriage suddenly stopped, Qingyue opened her eyes, and after a while, the driver raised the curtain and announced, and a person named Hanako stopped the carriage.
This is the first time that Lao Zhaohua has taken the initiative to find herself, Qingyue smiled lightly, sorted out her cloak, held the handlebar, and got out of the car. In front of the car stood a dirty little beggar, although he was thin, but his face was smart, but his whole body exuded an unpleasant sour smell. The little beggar smiled and said, "Miss, give two rewards." Qingyue threw ten eldest sons in his palm, and the little beggar put away the copper coins and said: "Miss is really kind-hearted, grandpa invites Miss Dongxiang Liu's shoe shop to see it." Qingyue nodded, abandoned the carriage, and went to the East Lane alone.
At the same time as Qingyue went to Dongxiang, thousands of miles away, Li Gao of Northwest Ji County was being interrogated by the two, the leader was a mustache, thin and short, full of gorgeous hair, and a short dress in green shirts and cloths. The other is also an old man, just tall and slender, with big hands and feet, a long shirt and a horse coat, and a piece of green jade pinned to his waist, like a scholar, but when he walks, he is also windy on both feet.
"Master Li still knows how to perform an autopsy?" The tall old man asked unceremoniously.
Although Li Gao was a little unhappy, these two people were holding gold medals, and they came for the case of the widow of the Marquis, so he had to deal with it carefully, "Yes, Li Bingmei, the inspector of the imperial history, is the grandfather of the official." The short old man's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master Li is the descendant of Mr. Li Bingmei, Jia Yun, you are too abrupt!" The tall old man apologized to Li Gao and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" Who in the court didn't know that Mr. Li Bingmei was the first master of case solving in the Qing Dynasty, and Jia was rude. ”
Li Gao smiled bitterly, sure enough, it was still his grandfather's banner, lying under this fame, how much his efforts were in smoke, "Don't dare, Lord Jia is polite." Li had no other intentions, and if the two wanted to open the coffin again for an autopsy, Li would not stop him. The short old man laughed, "Jia Yun, this is a person with real talent and real learning, remember one sentence, real gold is not afraid of fire!" ”
Jia Yun lowered his head, and the hatred in his heart became more layered, it was really not easy to survive this time, but the family didn't know where they were sent by the nine-headed bird. He wants to take advantage of this trip to the northwest to find Qingyue's death hole, so that she can also taste the taste of life that is worse than death.
was escorted back to the capital by Qingyue, he was on the road, in the dungeon, thinking about how to return to Mrs. Wei, he imagined every question that Mrs. Wei would ask, scrutinized every answer, imagined Qingyue's countless indications, and thought of every excuse. He has inquired for news for everyone and bought every news at a good price, but he has never harmed anyone except those who threaten his life. He shouldn't have this calamity, he needs to fight for a way out through his tongue, for his family, for himself. But the strange thing is that for two months since he returned to Beijing, no one has come to see him, except for the mute eunuch who brought him food every day. Living in a dark dungeon all day without anyone to keep you company, plus fear, anxiety, and the unknown...... This is another form of torture. He was frightened, or rather hopeless, and a month later, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was struggling with whether to kill himself or not, until he thought of falling asleep tired, and then he was entangled again.
When the nine-headed bird came to take him out of the prison, he couldn't believe it at all, and even thought that he was crazy to have such an apparition. When he saw the sun again, he was blind for a long time, and his eyes were all black. Although he could not see it, his heart rejoiced, because it represented hope, and he would not hesitate if the nine-headed bird let him swallow his dung.
On the way to the northwest, he asked the nine-headed bird, why? The nine-headed bird replied expressionlessly, because the emperor wants you to live, and you, don't speculate about the Sacred Heart, just do your own thing. Jia Yun remembered that he had been operating in the northwest for many years, and he would give him wholeheartedly what the nine-headed bird wanted, so it didn't take long for him to know from Liu Zhukuai that there was another autopsy, and this autopsy was personally examined by the prefect Li Gao.
"In that case, why didn't Lord Li's post-mortem be transferred to the Criminal Department along with the case file?" The short old man asked again.
Li Gao was stunned when he heard this, and replied, "Why do you ask like this? Li's autopsy was sealed in the case file, and it was only after the fourth elder brother saw me seal it that he stamped his big seal and private seal. ”
The two old men looked at each other for a moment, then turned to Li Gao, "Are you sure?" ”
Li Gao replied in affirmation, and then said: "There were also two of my masters present at that time, and they could testify for me. ”
"Then please trouble the adults to find the two masters." Jia Yun spoke.
Master Shang Zhen and Xiang Shan entered the door, and before they could ask Li Gao for peace, the short old man asked: "In the case of the widow of Shun Minghou, what are the sealed case files?" ”
The two of them didn't know who this abrupt old man was, and looked at Li Gao together, Li Gao was a little helpless, "You can just tell the truth, don't look at me." ”
The two nodded together and replied yes, because Shang Zhen was in charge of the criminal name, he cleared his throat and said: "There are ten copies of the on-site interrogation records, one confession from each of the Lizheng, Wang, and Bai families, one for the post-mortem examination, one for the post-mortem examination of Lord Li, and one copy for the case record......"
"Alright, that's it." The short old man interrupted him.
Shang and Xiang have been masters for more than ten years, and with experience, they feel that this backwater in Ji County is about to set off big waves, and they don't know where they and Li Gao will be swept away. At that time, the widow of Shun Ming Hou was burned to death, and they had this feeling, but at that time, a fourth elder brother suddenly came, and their small boat was lucky to hide behind the big ship, and it was fortunate that it was not overturned by the huge waves, and it was even more fortunate that there was no reprimand, let alone a trace of punishment. Now, the ship has traveled to a wide place and survived the crisis, but three months later, the wind and clouds have changed abruptly, the old things have been brought up, and everyone's hearts have risen to their throats.
The short old man pondered for a while, and then asked, "Can the local post-mortem grid be the same as Lord Li's?" ”
"Inconsistency, due to the severity of the burning, the local work did not identify men and women, only the length, shape, and the fact that all people were burned after death."
The two old men looked at each other again. Jia Yun asked Li Gao: "Master Li, how did you test men and women?" Li Gao said: "All the corpses have been maliciously burned, especially the pelvis of the two adult corpses, but the most obvious thing is that the man is taller than the woman, and the upper and lower limbs of the two corpses are too long, I have asked the tailor in this county, Wang Bai's is only four feet eight, Qinglian is five feet, and these two corpses are still five feet after burning, I personally think that it cannot be theirs." Also, although the pelvic bones of the corpses were burned, the heads were better, and their lower forehead angles were smaller, and the corpses should have been two men based on the above two points. ”
After hearing this, the short old man nodded frequently and said, "I believe that Master Li is very knowledgeable and will never be mistaken." But can Master Li still recover the autopsy card at that time? ”
Li Gao said yes, turned to a hanging bag in front of the table, set out the autopsy grid and pen and ink, thinking that there was pen and ink on the table, he stuffed the pen and ink into the bag again. The short old man unceremoniously picked up his bag and flipped it up at will. Li Gao's face flushed, but he didn't object. In addition to a stack of autopsy grids, pen and ink, there is also a bottle of liquor, a bottle of old vinegar, plus a bamboo tube, open the bamboo tube and there are bamboo sticks, silver needles, rulers, etc., all the things for the autopsy.
After reading it, the short old man sighed: "Lord Li is really wronged by being in this domain. Li Gao said that he didn't dare, so he lowered his head and filled in the autopsy form.
On the third day, the matter of the autopsy was transmitted to the capital through the flying pigeon, and Wei was relieved to receive the news, and then burned the news privately. And Qingyue received this news a little later than her. After getting the news, she immediately entered the palace to report to Kangxi that someone in the northwest was secretly investigating the widow of the Marquis of Shunming, and it seemed that the person who was burned to death was not the widow of the Marquis of Shunming. Kangxi drank porridge and said lightly, it was time to send someone to go. Li Dequan, go and see, who is on duty in the study today, let him find someone from the Criminal Department to go to the northwest to investigate the case of the widow of the Marquis of Shun, there is nothing to do, there is no need to return to the court, and the case file will be filed directly. Do you understand? Li Dequan snorted and went to receive the order. Qingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, had a ghost in her heart, seeing that Kangxi was not salty or light, she held back all the words she had prepared, and Kangxi had no orders, so she could only honestly kneel on the ground and wait for Kangxi to finish eating. After half an hour passed, the palace withdrew the dining table, Kangxi got up to clean his hands, rinsed his mouth, and sat down again, before he confessed again: "If the future is related to the descendants of Ru Jin, you don't have to come to report to me, just tell Aunt Wei." Go down. When he said it, Kangxi's expression was cloudy, and his tone was not kind, as if he was blocking his breath with someone. Qingyue realized that she wanted to do it, it seemed that Kangxi didn't take this matter to heart, and quietly withdrew from the palace. As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Wei Shi head-on, Qingyue told her about the report to Kangxi just now, Wei Shi glanced at the palace door, and replied coldly that he knew, and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace. Qingyue touched two nails in a row, and she couldn't do what she wanted to do, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, this Ru Jin, in addition to being rebellious, is he still so unpopular?
Passing by Xian'an Palace, there was a burst of hysterical roars from inside, and a burst of light flashed in Qingyue's heart: Whether it is Kangxi or Wei, they are not indifferent to Qinglian's affairs, but attach importance to it, and they attach importance to it to hide their emotions. Just like the one in the Xian'an Palace. Thinking of Lao Zhaohua's words, Qingyue's heart was in turmoil, if Lao Zhaohua not only told her alone, but also told Wei, or rather, it was Wei who asked Lao Zhaohua to test her ....... Qingyue returned to the house, drank a glass of cold water first, then lit benzoin, and said to herself, you need to be quiet......
Things are always unsatisfactory, Yinxi pushed down the flower pot, and the broken Junzi Orchid shed crystal teardrops. Hearing the voice, Yin Yu and the others all ran in, Yin Yu gasped and sat on the chair decadently. After drinking back from everyone, Yin Yu poured a glass of water for Yinxi, and said firmly, Master, we still have a chance! Yinyu took the water and didn't drink it, but put the water on the coffee table casually and told Yin Yu to let Xu Jing come quickly.
Since the head of the crown prince's maid and the fourth elder brother had dealings, Xu Jing's identity in the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion has been different, and he can often enter the council hall without reporting. But recently, the eighth elder brother is not in good health, he is directly looking for the ninth elder brother for anything, and today he suddenly said that the eighth elder brother wanted to see him, and he hurried over.
"Say hello to the eighth master!" Xu Jing asked Yinxi for peace.
"Hurry up, my legs are inconvenient, and it is inconvenient to help you."
Xu Jing got up and raised his head, although the eighth elder brother's complexion was not good, his temperament was still as warm as jade, so that his subordinates were like a spring breeze when they saw it.
"Don't be inhibited, sit down and talk." Yinxi's laughter has been honed for many years, even if he doesn't want to laugh now, it has become a habit.
Xu Jing sat down with peace of mind, the maid served tea, and the fragrance of tea filled the whole room, although he didn't understand tea, but the intoxicating aroma of this tea made him take a sip.
"Your business, the ninth master told me, it's just an errand, it's not a big deal. You know what I'm like now. It's not good for me to come forward, so I have to have Brother Lao's fourteenth brother, what about the supplement, it's already been made up," Speaking of this, Yinxi deliberately paused for a moment, although Xu Jing held back the joy in his heart, but the corners of his mouth still went up twice, "But unfortunately, the supplement was seen by Yu Shi Weiheng, and he stabbed this matter to the fourth master,......" Before Yinxi finished speaking, Xu Jing knew what was going on, and said angrily: "The position of the slave is earned with the current Long Live Western Expedition, and the fourth master will peel it off when he says a word!" Anyone has a share in borrowing! He just grabbed Lao Tzu and didn't let go! ”
"Presumptuous!" Yin Yu reprimanded Xu Jing, and said: "Fourth brother, he also has his difficulties, let you come today, is to tell you to live in peace, the family's food and clothing, don't worry, I will make up for you." ”
Xu Jing quieted down, drooped his mouth, said thank you, and stopped talking. Yinyu pulled him and said something about his parents' shortcomings, and then served tea to the guests.
On the second day, in the teahouse in the capital, it was spread all over the fourth elder brother's private palace for concubines, secretly giving birth to children, and raising them in Chengde for unknown reasons, contrary to the etiquette system, private morality, and the more the husband and the children of the Eight Banners spread the more and more evil, what deer blood, palace maids, and field battles...... How fragrant and glamorous.
Qingyue didn't care when she heard the report of the old man, she knew about Yinzhen and Meixiang from beginning to end, and Yinzhen was a prince, what about one more concubine? Counting, among all the princes, he and Yinzhen have the fewest concubines.
Rumors stop at the wise, but how many wise people are there in the world? Coupled with the palace secrets and fragrant descriptions, this rumor became more and more evil, and the final version was beyond Qingyue's imagination, and she suspected that that person was still not Yinzhen, it was simply a beast in human skin.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Kangxi took good care of him, gave him a house, a villa, and a field, and called him to accompany him from time to time, which made him feel relaxed and happy like never before.
"You've done a great job! Do you also want to learn from the abolished prince? Kangxi threw a piece of paper in front of Yinzhen. Yinzhen knelt and picked up the piece of paper, looking at it, his face was red, although he already had a wife and concubine, but what was written on this paper was too ...... It's unbearable.
"Father, I don't know who planted the blame on my son."
Kangxi said angrily: "Do you think I haven't investigated? I sent someone to check, Hongshi was indeed born in Chengde, and the woman you hid in Chengde, named Mei Shuang, I also know! When you asked me to give Hongshi Jade Butterfly, did you ever think that this was a bully! ”
Yin Zhen's face turned white, no one knew about this matter, which he thought he was doing secretly, but now it was naked in front of Kangxi.
"Also, who is the woman who is hiding in your mansion now?" Kangxi asked again.
Yin Zhen was afraid, and two words "traitor" quickly flashed in his mind, and he replied with a strong spirit: "Emperor Ama Mingjian, Erchen is not this kind of person," he held up the piece of paper, kowtowed, and said: "Hongshi was indeed born in Chengde, his mother is not a palace person, the palace people are all registered, and the father will know it when he checks it." The sons still know the law, and the palace people can't ...... without the gift of their fathers Hongshi's biological mother is a Han girl, and the son knows that he is wrong and violates the law of the ancestors, but he is the biological flesh and blood of the son, and the son can't bear to float outside, so he made this decision...... The sons are willing to be punished...... Now the woman in the house is the widow of the obedient Marquis Wang Yi, and the sons just want to find out and report to their father and the emperor......"
When he was a child, Yinzhen was shy and irritable, he grew up with a cold face and a cold heart, and often did things according to the word law.
"It's not like what you did, but it was really you who did it, I thought that you were the purest of the brothers, but I didn't expect to be so filthy in private! Do you want to learn from Yang Guangzhi and others? ”
When Yinzhen heard this, he stayed where he was, and then shed two lines of tears.
The first time he saw Yinzhen crying, Kangxi was quite surprised, and suddenly reacted, his words were heavy, and it was inappropriate to use Yang Guang to describe Yinzhen, the implication of the words was not Xu Yi's position as the prince? Kangxi hurriedly turned the words back: "Okay, it's rare that you have moved your true feelings, I am also a father, you bring that woman in and show it to Concubine De, if it is a pleasing person, I will personally raise her status." ”
"Dead, she's dead."
Yin Zhen raised his head and knelt on the ground straight, tears hanging on his cold face, a look of disdain...... These suddenly made Kangxi a little scared, he re-examined this son, and after looking at it for a long time, Kangxi closed his eyes and waved his hand to let Yinzhen go down. Yin Zhen knocked his head, straightened up, and strode out the door.
"Wait." When Yinzhen was about to go out, Kangxi stopped him, Yinzhen didn't turn around, knelt down on the spot, and asked forcefully: "What else does Huang Ama have to order?" "Although he is rude, such a Yinzhen is a real child, a child who needs his protection." Send Wang Yi's widow to the palace. Kangxi commanded weakly.
Yin Zhen kowtowed, which was an answer.
His back stretched longer and longer, until he disappeared, looking at Yinzhen in the distance, Kangxi really wanted to see the woman who made Yinzhen change his temperament.
