Chapter 229: Doubts

Old lady Lin has always been a one-handed straight style, and the young man was obviously stunned when he was asked, and moved his mouth to squeeze out a sentence.

"Concubine Xianchun is my aunt, my name is Xiao Sheng, and the Xiao family's descendants are second in the third room."

Xiao Sheng revealed his identity, but did not answer Old Lady Lin's sentence about how many people there are in the Xiao family.

Xiao family three bedrooms... Old Lady Lin thought slightly, "Your father is a Xiao She from the original Sanpin?" ā€

"Exactly." Although Xiao Sheng had learned in advance that the former prime minister wanted to see him, he was still very worried in his heart.

He was saved by Su Zhaoheng at the expense of his body, and he was very grateful to him, but now that the people he saw asked about the Xiao family, he had to think about it a lot.

He faintly felt that the other party was here for the events of the year.

"It seems that now the Xiao family's descendants are still here? It's no wonder that if your father's official position is higher, I'm afraid that you will not only be punished for confiscating the army. Old Lady Lin pondered for a moment and said the answer that Xiao Sheng did not answer.

Xiao Sheng's eyes sank, and he didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Only then did Old Lady Lin signal him to sit.

"Maybe you've guessed, but I really want to ask about your Xiao family's room being accused of embezzlement in the renovation of the palace."

Xiao Shengcai sat down hesitantly, and was startled by Old Lady Lin to stand up again. This crime was not made public, at that time, their family was only accused of embezzlement, and their three rooms were implicated in the crime of wanting to add to it.

This young man looked calm, how could he still be so shocked, it seems that there is really something inside to the matter.

Old lady Lin had a guess in her heart, but her face was silent. "If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family, who was later the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was charged with this crime, your Xiao family is still a prominent family in Beijing, and Concubine Chun may not be able to lose her fragrance in the favor."

Concubine Chun died violently first, and the Xiao family was greedy for ink. Although the sin refers to other things. The evidence is conclusive, but Mrs. Lin still has the means to find out the doubts in the file back then.

And the files of the Ministry of Industry in those years have obviously been tampered with, as if they want to hide something, especially in the palace repair, some of the content can be erased.

Taken together, it is not difficult to link the two things together.

The matter of the former prince, at that time, under the thunder of the former emperor, there was no matter of the Ministry of Works. But not long after he set up Lee. Concubine Chun died of the poison of the red seeds, said that she died violently, and then purged the powerful Xiao family. These techniques naturally made Old Lady Lin think of Cao Muzhi.

His wife was also poisoned and died in front of Concubine Chun. All kinds of connections are connected, and it is natural to deduce that they all know what secrets are and are eliminated together.

Thinking about it, Old Lady Lin only had one idea. I want the Xiao family to confirm.

Xiao Sheng listened to Old Lady Lin as if he had experienced it himself, and restored the previous events. In addition to his shock, he also had a strong hatred.

"Yes, if it weren't for this unwarranted crime, the Xiao family wouldn't be the only one left. If I hadn't gone to the northwest, I would have blocked an arrow for the vice-general in the northwest. Maybe I'm dying in the Northwest too. ā€

Seeing that the young man's eyes were still red while trying his best to suppress his feelings, Old Lady Lin knew that the two might really be able to talk frankly.

To see if the emperor knows about the events of the year, this matter cannot be rushed.

It was a matter of royal secrets, and he had to arrange his family first, and then calculate further.

His wife's grievances must be avenged, and Cao Muzhi's death must be ruined and spurned by the world, otherwise it will not be enough to vent the hatred in his heart.

Cao Muzhimou wanted nothing more than glory and fame, and he wanted to ruin all of this.

Judging from Su Zhaoheng's experience in his previous life, King Rui wants to be afraid of Shizhi*, and his frequent actions over the years are already signs, which is also a talisman for him to overthrow Cao Muzhi and protect his family and the emperor to be qualified to negotiate.

In any case, protecting the Su family first and then being stronger is the top priority at the moment, this is his only ally.

That is, whether he wants to ask Marquis Wu Su about his previous romantic history......

Will you be flipped and beaten up?

After Mrs. Lin determined the strategy, she became distressed.

Su Zhaoheng's kid gave him the feeling that it was the origin of everything.

Or is he really old and suspicious......

***

The Tatar kingdom invaded again, and the deliberations of the Dayong court were almost inseparable from the war.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Wusu did not disappoint, and in late March, the good news came, and the Marquis of Wusu beheaded the three major generals of the Tartar State, making the Tartar State defeated and retreated and did not dare to send troops again. At the same time, the king of the Tartar kingdom once again wanted to negotiate peace.

After the emperor received this war report, the result of the discussion with the ministers was that it was okay to negotiate peace, and asked the prince of the Tartar kingdom to go in person, otherwise he refused to negotiate peace.

All the ministers agree with this tough attitude, at this time, there should be no matter of the Tatar State making conditions, and they still have a third prince as a hostage in Dayong!

Of course, the king of the Tatar kingdom did not dare to come, and finally mentioned yƬ to the emperor, and the last two adult princes of the Tatar kingdom came together, and sent the princess born to the queen, the sister of the third prince of the Tatar kingdom, to marry, and then pay tribute to a large number of rare treasures.

Such a posture can also be said to be the highest sincerity of the king of the Tartar kingdom.

The three adult princes are all in Dayong, and it can be seen that the king of the Tartar Kingdom is forced to the end.

The emperor readily complied, and gave him a face, so that they could come to his Halloween.

After this matter was finalized, the emperor also issued an edict to summon the Marquis of Wusu back to reward him for his meritorious deeds, and directly stamped it with a big seal, and returned the 50,000 troops in the northwest to the Xiaoyu battalion. The army will temporarily hold the northwest and wait until the end of the peace conference to make a move.

As soon as he made a will, Mrs. Lin was about to call Su Zhaoheng that day, but unexpectedly, the emperor was one step ahead of him and summoned people to the palace. The doubts hidden in the heart of Old Lady Lin before became heavier and heavier.

When Su Zhaoheng received the letter from Mrs. Lin, he thought that after the second watch, after thinking twice, he still went to Shangshu Mansion in the dark.

In addition to the appointment, he also did what he should have prepared, and by the way, he asked Mrs. Lin to let his little girl go out.

His father wanted to return to the court, and it was estimated that he would only stay for seven or eight days, which happened to be the time when he could ask for a marriage, and before that, he had to untie the knot between the two. The timing is perfect.

That night, Su Zhaoheng arrived at Shangshu Mansion and stayed in the courtyard of Old Lady Lin until dawn, and did not go to meet Lin Wanwan in person before leaving, but left with a calm face...... (To be continued.) )
