Chapter 337: Questioning

Yan Yuzhi rode his horse and galloped wildly, heading straight to the mansion of the eldest princess of Kunshan.

He was not idle this afternoon. Zhu Dayou doesn't need to look for it, he can't catch this person in his hands, and the eldest princess who was ordered to be placed under house arrest can't be caught either.

Fortunately, he took some trouble to find the little eunuch who called Xiao Chengzi, and finally got some poisonous incense powder from Concubine Xiao. He called Yan Sibao, who was good at making poison and preventing poison in Leopard Weili, to come over to verify, and Yan Sibao only sniffed twice and concluded that although the poison had been mixed into the incense powder and it was difficult to distinguish the color, he still smelled the special taste in the rich aroma.

It is the smell of poison in An Guogong Yan Qingshan! As soon as this judgment came out, Rao was almost out of shape with Yan Yu's mental and perseverance. No matter how discordant her parents are, why would her mother poison and assassinate her father?! Her heart is so hateful and poisonous?!

And Yan Yuzhi couldn't help but think a little more.

The Duke of An Guo of Yanlin County is a hereditary lord who was enshrined more than 150 years ago.

The first generation of An Guogong stood on the right team in the battle of the prince's succession, not to mention birth and death, and saved the prince's life several times.

Now the family has been inherited to Yan Qingshan's generation, and the descendants are withering, and only Yan Qingshan's father and son are gone. but the side branches are exceedingly prosperous, and there are many descendants. Fortunately, the Yan family has ancestral teachings, and the holy decree of knighthood also states that the title of Duke An Guo is only inherited in the eldest room, and the side branches are never allowed to attack the lord - not succession.

In this way, although the relationship between the branch and the side branch is not completely peaceful, the relationship is quite peaceful. Fortunately, the children of the Yan family are also angry, and they have always earned fame with their military exploits. For more than a hundred years, in addition to the title of Duke Anguo, there was one marquis, two counts, and seven or eight viscounts and barons.

Coupled with the many famous families who married with the Yan family, the Yan family is not only a well-known military wealthy family in Tianxing Country. It is also the hub of the family with many entanglements of interests. Its influence is not only limited to Yanlin County, but also radiates to several surrounding prefectures.

It is conceivable that once something happens to the Anguo Mansion. How many families will be implicated. This kind of accident, whether it refers to the interrogation from the imperial court or the accident of the net worth of An Guogong's father and son.

Yan Yuzhen couldn't imagine what kind of difficult situation he would face in the future if his father really fell in that poisoning crisis. And losing the protection of his father, more wind and frost under the sword. Will he be able to dodge and succeed in keeping the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?

This suspicion is not without reason, as early as the period of the first emperor, the Anguo Mansion has aroused the vigilance of the palace. The prestige of the Yan family, the unity of the Yan family, and the concerted efforts of the Yan family's in-laws are all great hidden dangers.

Therefore, there was the marriage of the princess of Kunshan at that time, and the Anguo Mansion broke the practice of never marrying with the royal family in the past, and had to marry such a noble princess.

Could it be that the mother poisoned the father. Was it from the palace? Yan Yuzhi frowned tightly, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the mansion of the eldest princess of Kunshan. It is reasonable for him to appear in the eldest princess's mansion at this time, and fulfill the filial piety of the son of man.

The general of the Jingwei Battalion, who was guarding the Eldest Princess's Mansion, was not embarrassed by Yan Yuzhi and happily let him in. The Empress Dowager Jade only said that she would not let the eldest princess leave the house, but she did not say that her children were not allowed to come to visit. Princess Taicheng has already come over once, and now it is reasonable for the prince of Anguo to appear.

However, the people that the eldest princess of Kunshan wants to see are not the eldest daughter and the youngest son. Her little heart, Princess Yicheng, actually sneaked away to the Anguo Mansion when she was not in the mansion. She was so angry that she was furious. Even if Yan Yuzhi didn't come, she would send someone to call him.

So as soon as she saw Yan Yuqian, the eldest princess of Kunshan split her face and asked, "Can your second sister be safe in your house?" ”

In my house? Yan Yuzhi raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess of Kunshan calmly. Seeing that Yan Yuzhi did not answer. The eldest princess of Kunshan was flustered for a while, and asked eagerly: "Are you dumb?" What happened to your second sister? Did she run out to meet some random people? ”

"Mother, in your heart, what exactly is the Anguo Mansion?" Yan Yuzhi did not answer the rhetorical question.

The eldest princess of Kunshan squinted slightly, anger flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, she also flashed a little jealous. She didn't expect that. Yan Yuzhi is here to ask for trouble.

"Are you questioning Hongu?" The eldest princess of Kunshan was domineering and sneered, "Why, do you think that this palace poisoned Qing Concubine and ruined the reputation of the Anguo Mansion?" ”

Yan Yuzhi looked around, and directly ordered Yan Yibao beside him: "Take everyone out, and ensure that there is no third person in the entire courtyard except for the eldest princess and me!" ”

Yan Yibao took the order, ignored the angry roar of the eldest princess of Kunshan, and led the rest of the leopard guards to clear the field. Soon he came to report that the matter was done, and he also withdrew from the magnificent palace, all the way beyond the courtyard walls.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The eldest princess of Kunshan frowned, staring at Yan Yuzhi deadly, not hiding her disgust at all. At this time, the swelling on Yan Yuzhi's face has not subsided, not to mention how handsome and handsome he is, his facial features are still distorted, and he looks a little scared.

Yan Yuzhi took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and with a throw of his hand, the silver tickets fell to the ground one after another like snowflakes, and there were dozens of them. He said indifferently: "There are 50,000 taels here, if the mother is short of money, just ask the father and the son for it." Yanlin County has a bad harvest this year, and the grain depot is not abundant, so my mother doesn't have to worry about it. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan sighed in her heart, and a little panicked color flew over her face. But under Yan Yuzhen's forced gaze, she slapped the table and shouted: "You are calling Huazi in the palace, and you ask your father and son for money?" Hongu is rich ......"

"Even if you are called Hanako, it is better than being a spy who sells the intelligence of military aircraft!" Yan Yuzhi stiffly interrupted the roar of the eldest princess of Kunshan, and accused with fire in her eyes, "Mother, you are also the eldest princess, the country is in trouble, can you avoid it?" Don't you know that under the nest, there are no eggs?! ”

After all, the two big granaries in Yanlin County are not only one of the lifeblood of the Anguo Mansion, but also related to the grain reserves of Tianxingguo. If something happens in the granary, not only will the Anguo Mansion be unlucky, but if there is a natural disaster in the coming year, the harvest will be drastically reduced, and the imperial court will not be able to allocate grain and grass to stabilize the people's hearts.

The eldest princess of Kunshan was short of breath for a while, but she still had a hard mouth: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Good! Then the son will tell his mother what you can understand and know. Yan Yuzhi had a cold face, and almost gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know if my mother can tell me, why are the signs of my father's poisoning exactly the same as when Qing Concubine was poisoned?!"
