Chapter 61: Coercion step by step
The queen and Mrs. Jinyang saluted King Tianxuan, looking at King Tianxuan's face was not very good, and thought that it was the Ling family's matter that made the king unhappy, and couldn't help but secretly feel a little happy in her heart, and looked at Ling Qingyu defiantly.
Ling Qingyu got up and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant, he didn't think that it was inconvenient for Ning Yuanhou to come forward, so he sent the queen and Mrs. Jinyang, the so-called people who come are not good, and the good ones don't come, they are in the real situation, it is unpredictable, it just depends on how they deal with it, Ling Qingyu took a sip of tea and suppressed his slightly messy mind, and forced himself to calm down.
Mrs. Rong welcomed the queen to sit down, she stepped down to sit down with Ling Qingyu, and secretly shook her hand to show support, everyone sat down, the king did not speak, and naturally no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little solemn for a while, until King Tianxuan asked lightly: "Why do the queen and the princess want to come to this Ronghuatai today?" “
Ling Qingyu instantly caught the slight dissatisfaction in King Tianxuan's tone, and immediately understood that the king's face was facing the queen and them, and he felt a lot more confident in his heart. Mrs. Jinyang smiled slightly, obviously prepared, "Brother Wang, the makeup named Hua Tian on Mrs. Rong's forehead is rumored inside and outside the palace, if the water is as refreshing and beautiful as a hibiscus, today Wang Mei specially pulled the queen to come to Mrs. Rong to ask for advice, how to get this makeup." ”
King Tianxuan responded lightly, but he thought in his heart that Mrs. Rong's makeup was not a day or two, and it was a coincidence that she came to ask for advice now, but it was not easy to attack, what did they come to do, everyone knew it, since they didn't say it, they wouldn't break it, and directly asked about the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm, and after a slight pause, he slowed down his voice and asked: "Ling's daughter, I heard that there was a horse plague in the eastern suburbs of the horse farm given to the Ling family by the widow, but is there such a thing?" ”
Ling Qingyu got up and replied: "The king, there is indeed such a thing, it is a dereliction of duty of the Ling family to help the king raise the royal horse, and the king is also asked to punish him." ”
King Tianxuan hadn't spoken yet, but listened to Mrs. Jinyang say lukewarmly: "What is not well raised, it is clearly that the sick horse is shoddy, Brother Wang's forbidden army cavalry lacks war horses, which affects the palace guards, but it is a serious crime!" Is it enough to chastise him? ”
Ling Qing said with a straight face: "Mrs. Jinyang is right, this kind of major event is indeed not something that can be punished, after yesterday's investigation, the Ling family has found out that this horse plague is definitely not the Ling family's sacrifice of sick horses, but someone deliberately framed the Ling family!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the queen and Mrs. Jinyang exchanged glances without leaving a trace, I don't know how much this Ling Qingyu dug into, and I couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
And Mrs. Rong didn't expect that it was unconfirmed and lacked evidence, Ling Qingyu said it to the king so grandly, if she couldn't come up with evidence, she was afraid that she would add another crime of bullying the king, so she couldn't help frowning slightly.
When King Xuan heard this, he was angry and said: "Tell me, who has such courage to dare to attack the widow's war horse!" ”
Ling Qing blessed his body and said calmly: "The Ling family just found out that something was wrong, but who did it has not yet been able to investigate, and I ask the king to forgive me." ”
When the queen heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she shouted: "The daughter of the Ling family is so courageous, she dares to face the saint in something that is not determined, and provokes indiscriminately, which is equivalent to bullying the king, and someone will drag her ......out."
"King, I haven't finished my words yet, there are all women here, don't shout and kill, okay?" Madame Yung's soft voice unexpectedly overshadowed the queen's loud voice.
King Tianxuan nodded slightly, and glanced at the queen dissatisfied, meaning don't forget who the main owner here is, the queen was so stupid that the queen was dumbfounded, and then King Tianxuan continued to ask: "Someone actually framed the Ling family, what is the strange thing about this matter?" How many horses have died in the Eastern Suburbs Racecourse, and what is the current situation? Can you elaborate on that? ”
"Returning to the king, yesterday counted the horses, a total of 123 horses died, a total of 58 suspected of being infected with horse plague, the rest of the horses are healthy, have found experienced horse herders and horse doctors to treat and prevent together, this horse plague should be able to be controlled in the near future.
As for someone framing the Ling family, this matter is also obvious, when he took over the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm, his father ordered someone to take stock of all the horses, in addition to the Ling Family's 1,000 high-grade war horses in the Eastern Suburbs Horse Farm, there are also 2,893 royal horses of the king.
And yesterday's inventory was found that there was one more horse, the one hundred and twenty-three horses that died only had the king's imperial horse seal but did not have the Ling family's unique mark, it can be seen that the sick horse is not my Ling family's horse, and yesterday by the horse farm steward carefully identified, there was a horse in the dead horse that was extraordinarily thin and weak in comparison, and could not meet the standard of the royal horse at all, and it should not be a horse in the horse farm.
But it bears the imprint of a royal horse on its thighs, and what is even more strange is that according to the deacon's inspection, the imprint must have been freshly branded, and it would never have lasted more than five days. And if there is no error in the record in the last two months, except for the Ling family's horse, no new royal horse has been selected. Apparently someone had found a sick horse and mixed it with the farm to infect other horses. ”
Mrs. Jinyang sneered, "These are all the words of your Ling family, there is neither conclusive human evidence nor physical evidence, and there is no evidence, who knows if it is your Ling family thief who shouts to catch the thief."
Moreover, even if what you said was true, there were sick horses mixed in the horse farm without knowing it, the head of the Ling family also took it seriously, and he didn't know how the business of these six countries was done. No matter how much Ling Qingyu justifies himself, the Ling family's dereliction of duty cannot be escaped, Ling Qingyu looked at Mrs. Jinyang's hidden sharp eyes, and felt that she was much more difficult to deal with than the queen.
"Back to the king, the dead horse Ling family will make up for it, if the king thinks that my Ling family has evil intentions for Tianxuan, then let's go, we don't have to let people with other intentions slander the Ling family, although the Ling family is a businessman, Jia Ke still has this bit of style, originally my father came here so that I can have a look at the moon shadow, the national treasure of Tianxuan country, since the king cherishes the treasure and is unwilling to take a look, then forget it. Say goodbye, take care, king! Ling Qingyu saw that Mrs. Jinyang was aggressive, if she wanted to take back the initiative, she could only bet on the last bet like this, and King Tianxuan was reluctant to let the Ling family go! As long as King Tianxuan made a statement, no matter how much Ning Yuanhou jumped, it would only be in vain, and he turned around and left when he thought of this.
Before he could cross the threshold, he only heard King Tianxuan say in a hurry: "Wait, now it's just a matter of facts, no one has said anything about the Ling family, and the widow hasn't asked about the horse farm yet, so you can come back and talk back!" Although these words had a commanding tone, everyone could hear the meaning of softening and retaining.
Ling Qingyu hooked his lips and withdrew his feet from the door, King Tianxuan saved face like this, and he had to lay a step for him, so that he could meet later, so he said gratefully: "King Xie is discerning!" If the king still trusts the Ling family, he will give me ten days to thoroughly investigate this matter, and he will give the king an explanation when the time comes. (To be continued.) )
