48 Life is inherently impermanent
Peony took a gap and slipped out of the garment pavilion to share information with Chu Qingluo. She lowered her voice: "Did you hear that?" Today, the Holy One made a big fire in the Qingming Temple! Master Ji is probably going to plant it this time. ”
"Well...... This is also self-defeating. "Chu Qingluo is in Guangrentang, and the news of Ji Jie's involvement is naturally faster than Peony.
"It's just ......" Chu Qingluo couldn't say anything weird, he always felt that the incident happened suddenly.
Peony: "Just what?" ”
"The medical officer who committed the crime is named Yan Xi, and I happened to bump into her on the day she entered the palace, that is, the day I went to you to help Master Ji do private service, and it has only been more than ten days now......
Although the empress has not yet decided how to sentence in the end, the good days are finally over.
Ji Jie probably never expected today's situation. The sexy new clothes she specially prepared to invite Ji Qili to invite the door have not yet come in handy......
Life is impermanent, especially in such an era and such a position, it is better to warn yourself not to make mistakes.
"That's what they did on their own!" Peony has a righteous and awe-inspiring face, thinking that buying and selling officials is a heinous crime. "Master Ji is now in prison, who is in charge of Guangrentang?" She asked again.
"......," Chu Qingluo pointed with his chin to Li Yan, who was pointing at the male entourage not far away. She has been with Master Ji for some years, and she is very handy in managing things. ”
Peony pursed her lips, unimpressed.
……
In the Flying Immortal Hall where the eight princesses lived.
"Ji Jie really doesn't know whether to live or die! She dares to accept people who don't have some basic pharmacology! Let the fourth sister take advantage of the loophole in vain! The eighth princess twisted her beautiful eyebrows and slapped her face on the arm of the stool. What a bastard! ”
Nightshade didn't think so, she shook her head, and pondered, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as they seem......"
"Oh? What do you mean by this? Pan Yin on the side asked.
Nightshade is thoughtful and observant, and he is deeply used by the empress. Now that Nightshade and Pan Yin are assisting the Eighth Princess, Pan Yin naturally looks forward to her. If she thinks something is wrong, then eighty percent of them are really wrong.
"In my opinion, although Ji Jie is greedy, she has always been very cautious. This time it was so careless, it didn't look like her style. Maybe someone deliberately designed it......" A hint of sharpness flashed in Nightshade's eyes, judging that there must be something strange about this matter.
When the eighth princess heard this, her face became even more ugly. "Last night, Ji Jie asked the jailer to secretly pass the word...... He said he wanted to see me. ”
Long Kui didn't approve of her meeting with Ji Jie in private again, so she directly objected: "It's better for the princess to avoid suspicion at this time." ”
"Xia Guan thinks so." Pan Yin nodded in agreement.
The eighth princess was puzzled: "But didn't you also say that Ji Jie was designed?" Could it be that we just watched the fourth sister sharpen her knives on top of my head? ”
"Ji Jie's design is true, but it is also true that she sells officials, if the princess helps at this time, she will definitely be implicated in the official sale case."
If you lose your heart, you are truly defeated.
“…… What a fourth sister! She made me lose my soldiers, and I won't give up! The eighth princess had to swallow this evil breath for the time being, but the desire for revenge was already burning.
Seeing that the eighth princess was no longer swaying, Long Kui turned to Pan Yin and said, "This time, the saint asked you to track down the case of selling officials, do you know what to do?" ”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Pan Yin's eyes, and he said resolutely: "Xia Guan knows." ”
……
On the other side, inside the Changxuan Palace.
"First, when the Yan family entered the palace, he immediately committed an accident, second, Qin Mei jumped out and said that it happened that someone reported Ji Jie for selling officials with an anonymous letter at this time, and third, what is even more coincidental is that the Yan family also personally confessed that he entered the palace through guò to buy officials...... This chain of events is too much of a coincidence, right? After listening to the sixth princess explain what happened in the early dynasty, Ji Qiran had many doubts.
When the incident first happened, he first suspected that someone wanted to harm the saint with bad intentions, and then suspected that Ryan intended to compete for favor, and in the end, he found that the spearhead of this incident was directly aimed at Guangrentang, and he was running towards Ji Jie from beginning to end.
Ji Qiran was very sure: "Feng Yixiang is just a gimmick, confusing everyone, and selling officials is their purpose." ”
The sixth princess smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and blew it twice: "Looking at the fourth sister's posture today, she is very confident, and most of them have been planning for a long time in advance." ”
Ji Qiran pondered for a moment, his expression a little solemn: "After so many years, these two people can't sit still after all, and they are going to make a move." I'm afraid that this time the attack will be menacing, and it won't stop anymore. ”
…… It's just that the target of the four princesses this time is Ji Jie, who will it be next time?
Hearing Ji Qiran's analysis, the sixth princess still looked calm, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "It's just a fight between the two of them to make another move, I don't pose a threat to them, so it's naturally safe." ”
"But the sixth sister is not completely non-threatening after all, with Yao Man's support, the fourth sister and the eighth sister will never be indifferent to this. I speculate that the fourth sister must have been in a hurry to make a move when she saw that you were also given a title, and there was one more person who took the throne. Sixth sister, it's better to be vigilant. ”
The sixth princess still looked relaxed and said with a smile: "I know." ”
……
After a period of investigation, coupled with the anonymous letter handed over by Qin Mei, Pan Yin investigated the case of selling officials in Guangrentang.
There have been a lot of female medical officers who have bought official positions from Ji Jie over the years, and Pan Yin has truthfully submitted the list one by one, without any cover-up.
Under the construction of nightshade, Ji Jie is already the eighth princess's abandoned chess. In this case, Pan Yin doesn't need to do anything risky for her.
Looking at the list of more than twenty female medical officers involved in the case, the empress was furious! This is undoubtedly not taking her as the empress in her eyes! The court announced the verdict: all the female medical officers on this list were dismissed, and they were all burned on their bodies, and each of them was punished with thirty rods and expelled from the palace, and they were not allowed to be doctors for eternity; Ji Jie and Wu Lian were dismissed from their posts and confiscated their homes, relegated to sinners with a cane, and exiled to Bingshan.
There are very few women in Ji Kingdom, and the empress still shows mercy to their subordinates in the end.
But Yan Xi didn't have such a good life, and was sentenced to hanging, which can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys.
……
On the day of the execution, the empress ordered all the executors and medical officers to go to the execution site to observe the execution. The execution of female officials is also a big deal in Yancheng, and the people surrounded the execution ground.
The sun was raining in the sky, and big raindrops were falling on people. Chu Qingluo and Peony held an umbrella together, crowded into the crowd, and looked intently at Yan Xi's expression on the torture platform.
Her hands were tied behind her with ropes, the rain washed her face, and her hair was all at the side of her face. Through the sunlight and rain, Chu Qingluo saw clearly that it was a plain little face.
Very...... Odd. She didn't cry or laugh, she didn't have the slightest fear, she just stared straight at a little girl in a cloth dress in the crowd in the audience, and her eyes showed infinite love.
And the little girl kept crying, crying all the time. The rain slapped mercilessly in the little girl's eyes, and then mixed with tears flowing into her slightly open mouth.
Pan Yin's subordinates were sent to prison, and she looked at the sky impatiently: "This is strange weather!" Then he said to the strong man who was executing: "When the auspicious time comes, let's do it." ”
A hemp rope was rudely put around Yan Xi's neck and bolted tightly. The strong man held the other end of the rope and tugged hard......
The people were in an uproar.
Chu Qingluo subconsciously closed his eyes at this moment, his hand clenched into fists...... She could feel the peony beside her, and she couldn't help but tremble!
When I opened it again, I saw Yan Xi being hoisted high, and her body was swinging unconsciously...... The leg struggled hard a few times, and then it didn't move anymore. The little girl who had been crying saw this scene and fainted directly in the rain!
Chu Qingluo was startled and wanted to get through the crowd to help the little girl up, but found that an aunt had already taken a step ahead of her and took the little girl away.
…… Then turned his head to look at Yan Xi, who was hanging high, eighteen or nineteen-year-old in the mood for love, walked around the palace for such a circle, and then died.
At this moment, it was as if a big stone was weighing heavily on Chu Qingluo's heart, making her feel difficult to breathe, and she was so depressed that she couldn't speak......
