Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info knew a little bit about the inside story, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Regardless of whether Geng Xiwu is alive or dead, Queen Jia and the Jia family behind her at this time have made a low-key detachment posture of staying out of the matter, and they have not fallen into the ground.
When the news came back to the Lan Mansion, Mrs. Lan San was so shocked that she almost fainted, and when she woke up, she rushed to the Pearl Jade Pavilion, but when she arrived, she was invited to eat a gentle slap in the door.
Lan Xi knew that Geng Xiwu was fine for the time being, although he didn't know why he was hiding now and refused to show up, but since he was looking for Zhao Yingluo even to give her a letter, he was afraid that it was for safety, then he must have his intentions. Lan Xi can't show the slightest flaw and let people with a heart notice it. But if she wanted to pretend to be worried and worried in front of her mother because she heard the news, she really couldn't do it. In the end, he could only close the door and disappear, and how others wanted to guess it, they just had to guess.
Sure enough, Mrs. Lan San didn't dare to force it, so she went back to the upper room with a white face, and held on when she was in the Pearl Jade Pavilion, and as soon as she returned to her room, she began to cry secretly, sighing why her daughter was so miserable.
On June 23, Geng Xiwu's guards returned to the capital with a wound, and at the same time brought back a gilded flame pattern token from the assassin. However, there is a Wang Zonglun Wang Yushi who is famous for Geng Jie's outspokenness and is not afraid of death, and he jumped out at the moment, pointing directly at the Marquis of Zhu Guo and scolding him in front of the door, accusing him of killing Zhongliang for his own selfishness, how to say that Geng Wei's command is also from a double marquis, the Geng Mansion of the House of Loyal Martyrs, and he has killed the enemy in the northwest in the past and made meritorious contributions, and now he is recalled by His Majesty's holy decree.
Everyone knows that Geng Jiashiro was ordered to serve in Jiaxing, Jiaxing is located in the south of the Yangtze River, what is that place in the south of the Yangtze River? That is the territory of the Jia family, and when he was recalled to Beijing, he had an accident, and the assassin found the Jia family's dead token, and now this ulterior thing in Wang Yushi's mouth is a little intriguing.
Zhu Guohou knelt down and shouted at the moment that he was wronged, if he really wanted to kill someone, he would not be stupid to leave evidence.
Wang Yushi said that the sky net is magnificent but not leaky.
The Marquis of Zhu replied that he wanted to add to the crime, and there was no excuse.
Just when the argument was endless, the old lady of the Geng family held the head staff of the first emperor to beat the emperor and beat the corrupt officials outside the palace to see His Majesty.
The emperor gave permission to go to the temple.
Mrs. Geng is old, full of sorrow, kneeling and begging for the saint to see that the Geng family is a loyal martyr, and the old marquis died for the country, and there is no merit and hard work, and she must seek justice for her hard-working grandson.
Wang Yushi claimed that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he must give an explanation to the Marquis of Zhu.
The Marquis of Zhu darkened his face and claimed that he had no explanation to give.
There are help on both sides, each with their own opinions, you say a word to me, for a while, the court quarreled into a pot of porridge, the emperor had a headache, waved his hand, let the courtiers shut up, let the king, participate in the court several adult princes talk about their thoughts.
King An naturally helped his uncle and asked his father to investigate the matter thoroughly, and not to frame Zhongliang.
Han Wang's biological mother has a low position, and she has always followed King An's ass to turn around, so she naturally seconded it.
King Ning is a carefree prince who doesn't care about everything, and his ministers are frightened, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
King Qi rarely has the same heart as King An's brothers, and some people will not be satisfied in the future, so he also asked his father to allow King An to intervene in the case with Dali Temple, and the Geng family guards were taken into custody first, and a special person was sent to take care of them until they were interrogated.
The emperor waved one hand, and Chrysostom ordered a word, accurate.
On this day, the capital, which had been silent for a long time, was suddenly shaken.
Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the two princes intervened together, and the case was naturally pushed to the forefront. The whole capital is watching the progress.
But just when the investigation was in full swing, things took another turn.
It is said that he has been missing for more than half a month, and Geng Shiro, who thought he was already more than lucky, actually came back. was injured and fainted in embarrassment in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi.
Mrs. Zhenxi Hou moved her nephew into the house and asked people to invite the imperial doctor, and at the same time, the useful general took the sign of entering the palace and hurriedly reported to the palace.
At the end of the day, the emperor actually went out of the palace in person and went to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion to explore.
It is said that the emperor stayed until late at night before Geng Shiro came to his senses. The emperor and he talked secretly for a while behind closed doors, and no one knew what they had talked about, but when they came out of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and returned to the palace, it was already dark. The emperor locked himself in the Qingyun Hall and thought for a long time, and ordered the early dynasty to be delayed for two hours. When the courtiers were waiting in the Zichen Palace, whispering, and the people were panicking, Emperor Xu finally figured it out.
Three whips sounded, the mountain shouted long live, early dawn.
The emperor sat high in the temple and listened to the words of the ministers, but never said a word. It wasn't until the emperor was about to disperse that the emperor finally opened his mouth and said that the case of Geng Jiashilang did not need to be investigated.
After the ministers were stunned, when the frying pan was urgent, he said that Geng Jiashiro had returned to Beijing, and although he was seriously injured, he had no worries about his life.
There was silence in the court, and the eyes of the ministers couldn't help but look at a few of them. But they are all people who have cultivated to perfection, no matter what they think in their hearts, where can they see anything on their faces?
The emperor didn't care about the different thoughts of the ministers below, and waved his hand to disperse the court.
Who knows, the ministers just dispersed outside the hall, and before they could go far, they heard a "stay", but it was the emperor's personal manager Chang Gonggong who came quickly. smiled and said hello, and then passed the word with a smile, but he invited King An, King Qi, Marquis of Zhu and Wang Yushi to the imperial study together.
Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all surprised.
In the capital, how the turmoil in the court was uneventful, but Mrs. Lan didn't care at all, she only heard that Geng Xiwu was back, which was enough for her to sweep away the clouds for a few days, smile with a smile, and rush to the Jewel Jade Pavilion with a smile.
This time, she was not invited to eat behind closed doors, the weather was fine, and Lan Xi was leading a group of maids of all sizes to take out the books in her study and spread them out one by one to dry.
This is a very laborious thing, Mrs. Lan San saw it and felt that Lan Xi had the leisure to do this, she must have also heard the news of Geng Xiwu's return, and sighed at the moment, "I am still busy with my mother to relieve your heart, I don't want you to be well-informed, but I have already heard about it?" ”
Although Lan Xi didn't know what her mother was talking about, it was not difficult to guess when she saw the joy and thought of what she was worried about in the past few days. Although he knew it in his heart, he only smiled on his face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lan San only thought that her daughter was shy and reserved, and smiled even more happily at the moment, "You're right, and you can finally feel at ease as a mother." ”
