Chapter 62:-for-tat
As soon as King Tianxuan heard that there were a thousand taels of gold to collect, his complexion eased, knowing that this gold was not harvested in vain, and he hurriedly said, "The loyal widow of the Ling family knows it, since the horse plague has been controlled, the dead imperial horse can also be replenished, and the widow actually does not want to pursue it, but since you keep saying that someone has framed you, then the king will allow you to find out about this matter in ten days, if the people in the Xuan capital dare to be so bold, the widow will be the master of your Ling family, and the punishment will be severe!" ”
That's what you're waiting for! Ling Qingyu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, raised his head, and intentionally or unintentionally raised a little smugness in the queen's fire-breathing eyes.
At this time, I saw Mrs. Jinyang get up, Ying Ying bowed down and said: "Brother Wang, this is naturally good for people to avenge their grievances, but this heart of defense is indispensable, that day Dugu Yu is the brother-in-law of Ling Yixuan, the head of the Ling family, this is an indisputable fact, Tianshu Tianxuan has been friends for many years, who knows what they have in mind?"
It would be good if the Ling family could find out the truth and return their innocence, but if it could not be proved that the matter of the Eastern Suburbs Racecourse had nothing to do with the Ling family, then Brother Wang would inevitably be severely punished, and not let the Six Kingdoms think that my Tianxuan was so weak that he could be bullied by a businessman, frame my Tianxuan people at will, wantonly destroy my Tianxuan War Horse, and finally be left by Fengruo as a guest, making Brother Wang a laughing stock of the Six Kingdoms! ”
"Presumptuous!" King Tianxuan shouted angrily, but Mrs. Jinyang was fearless, staring at Ling Qingyu deadly, and the smug calculation in her eyes was clear.
Ling Qingyu immediately broke into a cold sweat, this Mrs. Jinyang's poisonous mouth, such sharp words, aggressive words, but she couldn't blame her for not, from Tianxuan's point of view, she was loyal and patriotic, her words were reasonable, and their Ling family really came to Tianxuan Country this time for Tianshu Country, and they had ulterior motives.
"Brother Wang, Sister Wang's heart for Tianxuan can be seen from the sun and the moon, don't forget, before my husband set out on the expedition, I stood in front and let his horse step on me! Now, Brother Wang still doesn't believe me? Mrs. Jinyang said, she was choked up, tears rained down, and when she mentioned the events of the year, it really caused the deepest guilt in King Tianxuan's heart.
Back then, he didn't listen to Wang Mei's advice, and insisted on letting Jin Yangjun lead the troops to tire his own Wang Mei and hurt Tianxuan's foundation, thinking about this, he had to say: "Ling's daughter, what Mrs. Jinyang said is not completely unreasonable, this matter in the eastern suburbs of the racecourse always has to be taken out to take responsibility and give an explanation, if you can't find out the ugly Yinmao, it is easy for your Ling family to enter Tianxuan, but it is not so easy to get out of Tianxuan, my Tianxuan is also a big country, and I can't tolerate the people who can be punished." In this case, the widow will give you five more days, and you will be granted fifteen days to investigate the matter thoroughly, and you will be given the royal tablet, and the court lieutenant (the official in charge of the judicial trial in the Nine Secretaries) will cooperate with you with full authority. Fifteen days later, the widow is waiting for you to give an explanation! "King Tianxuan's words show that if the Ling family can't prove their innocence, they are afraid that they will be punished.
Ling Qingyu's heart was cold, he only felt that he had been calculated, originally it was just a simple inquiry and an explanation of the situation, but now he was forced to make a military order, which put the Ling family in danger, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is useless to be annoyed, so he has to force himself to calm down and calm down.
Ling Qingyu restrained her expression, got up and took the token, fortunately, there is still room for this matter, if Lord Tingwei remembers well, it should be Wang Yizhi, the second master of the Wang family, the people of this Wang family are all long-sleeved and good at dancing, neither belonging to Tang Xiang nor Ning Yuanhou, but they can be at ease on both sides, so some good errand positions often fall on them.
Among the three princes and nine kings of the Tianxuan court, they are basically the people of the four nobles, Tang Yueting, the head of the Tang family, is the prime minister, Jin Ke, the head of the Jin family, is the captain, and Wang Yuanzhi, the head of the Wang family, is the imperial doctor. In Jiuqing, the eldest uncle of the clan Zhongsun Yu was appointed as Fengchang, the third master of the Wang family was appointed as Lang Zhongling, the eldest young master of the Jin family was appointed as the lieutenant, the director of the Chen family was the servant, the second master of the Wang family was appointed as the court captain, the eldest young master of the Wang family was appointed as the pawn, the third uncle of the clan Zhongsun Mu was appointed as the Zongzheng, and the eldest young master of the Chen family was appointed as the internal history of Su, and the second young master of the Chen family was killed by the prince as a result, and the third young master of the Tang family was on top (the specific official duties of the three princes and nine qings are referred to in the relevant works, so I will not repeat them here). Among these important ministers of the court, the Wang family occupies the most positions, which shows their old ways.
This matter is so decided, Ling Qingyu has recovered from the initial shock and overwhelmed, although she has fallen into the trap and is temporarily at a disadvantage, but who is she afraid of!
Raising his eyes to Mrs. Jinyang's beautiful eyes that were deeply witty, I couldn't help but admire this woman's superb and ruthless methods, but it was a pity that her mother was too capable to raise such a waste wood as Shaoyangjun.
Ling Qingyu felt that this Mrs. Jinyang must be the existence of Ning Yuanhou's group of people, and she underestimated the enemy, but it didn't matter, this chess match was interesting to the opponent, she liked to challenge the difficulty the most, and the madness in her bones made her raise her chin proudly, and fully conveyed the disdain and ridicule in her eyes to Mrs. Jinyang, and the two competed against each other, and sparks splashed everywhere.
Mrs. Rong came out at the right time to make a round, arranged lunch, and everyone left one after another after eating with their own thoughts.
After leaving the palace, Ling Qingyu first went to the racecourse in the eastern suburbs to see how the horse plague was controlled, and by the way, he told his parents what happened in the palace, Ling Qichen and Murong Ye knew, and everyone had a few thoughts in their hearts about what to do with it, and then they would gather to discuss it after the horses in the racecourse were completely controlled.
King Tianxuan didn't give much time. Ling Qingyu couldn't help in the racecourse, so he rushed back to the Ling Mansion in the east of the city, and personally coerced and lured the fifteen people who had been screened out in order to get some useful information.
In the end, it was basically determined that Cheng Da was the culprit who brought the sick horse into the racecourse, and the sick horse entered the racecourse about 3 days ago, because Chengda was the deputy deacon of the racecourse, and 6 of the 15 people knew about it but did not dare to speak out, 5 people were Chengda's accomplices, and he was asked to do it, and the other 4 people were purely nervous.
Ling Qingyu pondered for a long time, and decided to detain everyone for the time being, but asked the family to entertain those fifteen people, and not to be rude. Then summoned the night charm and told the good students to interrogate Cheng Da, be sure to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, and there must be no more crimes of prisoners committing suicide.
After everything was handed over, it was already nightfall, Ling Qingyu was supporting his forehead, and Qingtan came to pass the word to Qian Yi, the head of the Treasure Pavilion, to ask for a meeting.
Ling Qing cheered up, knowing that Uncle Qian must have something important, otherwise he would not have come in person, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle Qian, why are you here?" Is there something Daddy has to explain to me? ”
"No, this time the treasure pavilion has entered some rare gems, I sent a set of jewelry for my wife and the seven palace masters, and the most important thing is to tell the palace master, the palace master asked me to find out that the person who often goes to worship the Yun family's tomb has been confirmed, and the palace master also knows that person, and he is very familiar with it." Qian Yi handed the jewelry box to Qing Tan, entered the room and sat down to talk to Ling Qing about the news he had discovered.
"Oh? Who is it, Uncle Qian said quickly! Ling Qingyu was very curious, and poured a cup of tea for Qian Yi and couldn't help urging.
"It's that son, our people have been following him for nearly two months, and they have confirmed it again and again, and there is no doubt that it is this person." Qian Yi didn't sell it, and told his palace master directly. (To be continued.) )
