Chapter 207 Meeting a nobleman
Hearing that the parents of the Ding brothers were beaten to death, Yang Yun did not find it strange. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although it is a bit unreasonable, it would be surprising if the two of them were alive and well now, or if only Ding's father was beaten to death by a debt collector. Yang Yun didn't interject, and quietly waited for Duan Liangyuan to finish speaking.
Duan Liangyuan said dryly, took a sip of tea, and then continued:
"At this point, I thought that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and I couldn't find anything anymore, and the people who went to investigate also returned to Linshui to return to my father. But when my father heard the report, he was suspicious.
"The concubine's father thought that if it was really a person from the gambling house who was collecting debts, he would only beat Ding's father first, and he would definitely save the old woman's life and let her find a way to raise money. What's more, twenty years ago, the three brothers of the Ding family were all in the palace, although Ding Xin and Ding Miao did not have a foothold, then Ding Sen had already come out, there was a grade, although the grade was not high, but there were a lot of rewards and rewards.
"How can anyone in a gambling house kill people who don't want money? My father hurriedly asked people to visit the gambling house, and sure enough, he found out some clues - more than a month after the death of the Ding family and his wife, the owner of the gambling house also fell off his horse and died.
As soon as my father saw this, he knew that there must be a master behind him. I wanted to continue to investigate, but I found that the Qian family also sent someone to check the details of Ding's family, and the person we sent was also clever, afraid of colliding with the Qian family's people, so he hurriedly came back to report and stopped in time.
"The concubine's father immediately became suspicious, and put the three brothers of the Ding family into the palace, and Ding Da into the imperial pharmacy, and the time when the Ding couple were beaten to death was so close to each other, and sure enough, he found something strange."
Duan Liangyuan said, looked out the door, and then said in a low voice:
"Naturally, the three brothers of the Ding family entered the palace first, and Ding's father died violently, but this Ding's father was not a good gambler at the beginning, but only began to enter and leave the gambling house a year or two before Ding Sen entered the imperial pharmacy.
Yang Yun's face was heavy, and he asked in a low voice: "This 'nobleman', I'm afraid it's a raw face?" ”
Duan Liangyuan shook his head helplessly and continued:
"It is indeed a fresh face, it is said that no one in the gambling house knows him, but someone is familiar with Ding's father, at that time they also asked Ding's father what kind of noble person he was, Ding's father was quite proud, saying that Ding Da was appreciated in the palace, and he had a grade, and the man heard the rumors and came to scold him, which meant that he himself was a 'noble'.
Everyone listened to it as a joke, and they didn't care, and after many years, they remembered it when they saw someone to investigate. Speaking of which, since Ding Xin entered the palace, the 'nobleman' has never appeared, as if he came suddenly, and disappeared so suddenly. ”
Yang Yun smiled bitterly:
"What should be difficult for this 'nobleman' to find out?"
Duan Liangyuan pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment before speaking, and said:
"The concubine's father thought it would not be difficult to find out, but the Ding family was not in Gyeonggi, so my father could only send someone to make an unannounced visit, and it was inconvenient to act, so he had no clue about many things."
"It doesn't hurt to do that." Yang Yun smiled and said, "Just now you said that the time before and after the Ding family brothers entered the palace seems to be a little inappropriate, what kind of speculation does Lord Lingzun have?" ”
"Don't dare!" Hearing Yang Yun call her father "adult", Duan Liangyuan got up and was about to salute, she had to humble herself before she could continue to speak.
"Say it!" Yang Yun said helplessly, "It's just you and me, and it's Ling Zun and you who work hard for me, can't you afford two sentences?" ”
Duan Liangyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, then sat down again, and continued:
"Two years after Ding Xin entered the palace, Ding's father sent Ding Miao into the palace, and used the money from selling his son to pay off the gambling debts.
The guy in the gambling house said that since Ding Miao entered the palace, Ding's father stopped gambling, and insisted that the person was not killed by their owner.
"Then Ding Da has risen all the way, and now he has achieved the position of deputy capital, Ding Xin trembled, and also got to the position of the steward of Chongming Palace, only that Ding Miao, although he is not bad, is much lower than the two brothers.
"My father carefully looked at the before and after Ding Da's development, and after a careful deduction, he knew that what Niangniang entrusted this time was unusual."
Duan Liangyuan said, took a few Ruyao cups buckled on the Hu table, buckled them on the table one by one, pushed the cups one by one, and analyzed them carefully for Yangyun.
"First of all, this Ding Da entered the palace, suffered for a few years, and became the head of the palace for the late Feng Zhaorong." Duan Liangyuan said, pushing one of the cups towards Yangyun's side.
Yang Yun nodded, signaling that she already knew.
"Two months before Feng Zhaorong's death, Ding Da went to the Imperial Medicine Hospital," Duan Liangyuan took a deep breath and pushed the second, then the third, "At this time, that 'nobleman' almost appeared, and Ding's father began to gamble money. ”
Yang Yun watched quietly and did not speak. What she was worried about was really different from what Duan Liangyuan had found, and she didn't know if Duan Liangyuan didn't dare to mention it, pretending not to know, or if she really didn't think of it.
Duan Liangyuan pushed the fourth cup again: "Ding Xin was sent to the palace, and the nobleman disappeared, but Ding's father still refused to stop, and the more he lost, the more he lost, until a year later, Ding Miao was also sent in." ”
As he spoke, Duan Liangyuan pushed the fifth one towards Yangyun's side.
Yang Yun asked her with a smile: "This sixth, is that after Ding Xin entered the palace, the Ding family died?" ”
Duan Liangyuan nodded and said:
"The concubine's father can only investigate, the father can't know about the things in the palace, and the 'nobleman' is not easy to trace, but he doesn't know that. It's just that Ding Sen is by no means simple, even the queen mother sent someone to investigate, Feng Zhaorong died suddenly, and he must have something to do with it, but I don't know what the queen mother is doing to check these old things. ”
Yang Yun stared at a few cups for a few moments, and then thanked Duan Liangyuan and instructed her:
"Since there are people in the palace who have investigated, you must tell Ling Zun to stop it in time, and you can't continue to track it down. I'll inquire about the news in the palace, don't let me bother you. ”
Duan Liangyuan agreed, saying that he would be careful, but before leaving, he persuaded Yang Yun in turn:
"In the matter of peony cakes, it should be good to check Ding Da and Ding Er, but Ding Da himself will never do such a big thing, and the person behind him is the mother who should be careful."
Yang Yun nodded in agreement, and sent her out with a smile, when Zhu'er and Shen'er came in.
Seeing that the cups on the table were messy, Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to collect them, but was stopped by Yang Yun. When Zhu'er heard this, she stood aside, not understanding why Yangyun didn't teach her to accept the cup.
Yang Yun looked straight at the row of teacups, slowly walked to the table, sat down gently, and sat down in front of the row of cups, tapping the bottom of several cups back and forth with his fingers.
After a moment, she smiled softly and pushed the first cup forward. (To be continued.) )
