Chapter 144
"Brother Li, you're finally back, by the way, the concubines" Xiao Yuan saw him, but he was a teenager and was very affectionate to him.
"They only arrived at noon today." Li Chen returned lightly, and sat down beside him, and the servant had already brought the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table in front of him.
The food is silent, the sleep is silent, and the three of them eat silently.
In this Qiuzhou City, even the biggest official and prefect here has to look at the prince's face, so Mu Zhiyang didn't dare to slack off, and in the morning, he took the initiative to come to the palace to report the case to the prince.
The mastermind behind the scenes was found out by him, but this mastermind behind the scenes was just wronging a random person, and there was no substance. The real mastermind behind the scenes, he Mu Zhiyang didn't dare to shake it out, so he could only pull someone to explain the task.
Beautify the matter a little and make it round, and the crime of this "mastermind behind the scenes" will be convicted, and he will be beheaded in a few days.
On the bright side, this case is truly over.
At noon, two carriages stopped at the gate of the palace, and several people with considerable status walked down from the carriages, and the little man guarding the door naturally recognized these people. They are the people who went to Quanzhou to worship their ancestors and only came back today.
Li Chen came back first, they only came back today, as for why Li Chen came out first, except for his mother Gu Yijing, no one knows.
Why should the prince's private affairs be known all over the city Besides, this prince is not the kind of person who likes to be public.
Concubine Gu Yijing only briefly mentioned it to everyone, but no one dared to ask too much, anyway, now that the case in the restaurant is over, it is useless to mention more.
See you a few times. Greetings, Luo Yijie's family is going home, and the popularity of the palace doesn't seem to be much. Very few, except for the concubine, the prince, that is, Su Yue, Xiao Mo sister and brother. These five people can sit in the dining room and eat in a grand manner.
Su Yue was a little angry, and finally seized the opportunity to take advantage of the prince's going out to worship her ancestors. I went to the restaurant to make some small moves, but it ended like this.
In the royal palace, in a courtyard room.
"Slut. I didn't do my job well, and my hard work was in vain. Su Yue angrily slapped the beautiful woman in front of her, and the slap was vicious, straight to the woman's white and tender face. Print five pale red finger prints.
"Miss Su is angry. Xiao Mo knew that he was wrong. The woman who was slapped in the face by Su Yue was Xiao Mo, she covered her face and said painfully.
"Hmph, I finally waited until the royal family went out to worship the ancestors, and then I had a chance to rectify Yuan Qing's slut, didn't you say that this matter was foolproof" Su Yue became more and more angry the more she spoke, her eyes widened, and she was ready to slap her again. But he didn't fight any more.
"How do I know how Yuan Qing is so lucky, she has a jade pendant passed down by the prince on her body. This jade pendant, even if the prefect sees it, he has to respect her for three points. Xiao Mo said. It's really unpredictable.
Xiao Mo is an orphan girl who took her younger brother to the palace, she has no power or power, but she is unwilling, she always expects her younger brother to go to high school, and for her brother's good future, the only thing she can do is to find a good brother-in-law for his brother.
So how can this good brother-in-law be so easy to find Xiao Mo does have the intention of marrying Li Chen, but alas, Li Chen has no feelings for her, it seems that she wants to marry into the palace, and it is difficult to go to the sky. Since this doesn't work, let's change it, but this is Qiuzhou, not the capital.
The capital is a place where power is relatively concentrated, and it is also a place where it is easy for a person to make a career, and the person who can help Xiao Mo find a good man in the capital, in this palace, Li Chen needless to say, he will not care about these idle things, Concubine Gu Yijing, she just hopes that Xiao Mo can marry a good person and live a good life for the husband and wife.
And how could Xiao Mo be willing to find an ordinary person in this Qiuzhou At this time, Su Yue revealed it. How did Su Yue say that she was a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital, and besides, her relatives were either big officials or royal people.
It seems that Xiao Mo has no reason not to scold her.
That's right, the poisoning of the restaurant was planned by Su Yue and Xiao Mo.
Su Yue didn't have such a good mind, and she didn't mean to frame her so much. Xiao Mo is the daughter of a military advisor, even if she is not a man, her mind is not garbage, this drama of buying murderers and poisoning and killing people was arranged by her.
As for the backstage, Su Yue's random relatives are all Mu Zhiyang can't afford to offend, how can this case not go smoothly
"I don't know, if you frame her again for shooting an arrow and killing someone, she will be executed, why do you still arrange for Zhou Jin to throw himself into the net" Su Yue said angrily that the person who shot Yang Musheng was Zhou Jin, yes, but according to the plan, he was hidden, and he would frame Yuan Qing for archery if he died, how could he throw himself into the net
If Zhou Jin didn't stand up and confess, the restaurant would not only be poisoned, but also have one more charge of shooting Yang Musheng by the shopkeeper, then Yuan Qing would definitely die.
And Zhou Jin threw himself into the net, this matter, Su Yue is not in Qiuzhou, so only Xiao Mo is the one who is in command behind the scenes, why should she let Zhou Jin come out and confess
"If Zhou Jin doesn't come out to confess, I'm afraid that this case will never be closed, after all, the prefect is not a fool, there are so many people there, and they are not fools." Xiao Mo sighed and said quietly, "Besides, I was also present that day, if I blindly accused Yuan Qing of shooting arrows and killing people, I wouldn't be able to get out of it, if I was also arrested, this case would not be able to be handled." ”
"It's none of my business whether you die or not, I just want Yuan Qing's slut to die, besides, I have asked my uncle to say hello to Mu Zhifu, even if he is smart, what can he do, doesn't he have to turn a blind eye I see that you are clearly afraid of death." As she spoke, Su Yue threw the teacup on the table in her hand to the ground.
A piercing sound of porcelain shattering pierced the air and pierced into the eardrums.
"Miss Su spared her life, Xiao Mo asked Zhou Jin to come out and confess his guilt, it was a helpless move, and it was a great luck in misfortune that she didn't shake us out." As he spoke, Xiao Mo knelt on the ground.
"Hmph, if you want to marry my second brother, you have to do something for me." Su Yue snorted coldly and said lightly.
Su Yue's second brother is a general, an official worshippers, and a dream hero for many women, and so far, he has not married a wife. He's only in his early twenties.
If Xiao Mo can marry him, it will be a step to the sky.
"Xiao Mo understands." Xiao Mo lowered her head and returned lightly.
"Let's get out." Su Yue seemed to be tired, waved her hand, and motioned for her to leave.
Xiao Mo did not hesitate, got up and retreated.
This time, it will not be possible, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to frame next time.
"It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose." The more Su Yue thought about it, the more angry she became, biting her lip, and taking a sip of tea, she threw the teacup away, and on the ground, plus just now, she had thrown two teacups.
Needless to say, this case is against Yuan Qing, it seems that Yuan Qing wants to leave Qiuzhou, and he is not confused and willful. Instead, she was obviously aware that she continued to stay in Qiuzhou, only afraid of more evil and less luck
Yuan Qing is a businessman, and she doesn't have any backstage, if she is repeatedly plotted by someone like Su Yue who is jealous and has a strong backstage, her good life will come to an end.
Helpless.
It was already in the afternoon, Yuehu Restaurant, Yuan Bao returned from school, came to the third floor, Yuan Qing sat in her office to settle accounts, after all, she is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the account book of the restaurant still has to be checked regularly.
The green fruit shop still continues to sell pastries, after all, fruits are not sold all year round, and the coal mine is even more calm, and she, the boss of the hand-off, doesn't need to worry too much, the orange weekly newspaper is still being published, and it seems that everything is normal at present.
The poisoning incident has been made public to the world, the restaurant did not poison people, and the business of the restaurant is slowly improving.
Seriously, Yuan Qing is also reluctant, the wealth she has worked hard to build up in Qiuzhou, you must know that except for this place in Qiuzhou, there is no newspaper in other places, after all, the newspaper is a thing that broadens people's knowledge, and it is also a sales product with the mission of Datong thought, and its appearance can bring everyone's ideological understanding closer, and it is a good product of ideological exchange.
You must know that in a court that attaches importance to civil officials, military attaches live very hard, and vice versa. In the final analysis, it is the difference in thinking, which leads to the difference. If you want the world to be the same, you must first have the same thoughts.
It's hard to describe.
After four or five days like this, Yuan Qing changed into men's clothes, carried a burden on his back, rode the wind, and went straight out of the city.
It was morning, everyone was still having breakfast, and the streets were loose. No one paid attention to Yuan Qing's trip.
Actually, she is like going out to see the place, if she really leaves Qiuzhou, she should always have a bottom in her heart, where she wants to go.
Just her, one ride. Ride out of the city without stopping for a moment.
As if tired of riding, she stopped beside a fruit grove and tethered her horse to a fruit tree, while she leaned against a fruit tree and closed her eyes to rest.
She fell asleep, a dream, it was the middle of the night, she rode to the edge of Qiuzhou, it was a day of horseback riding, the bonfire beside her had been extinguished, her sleeping face was as quiet as a child, and the horses not far away were also asleep.
Everything was quiet and peaceful. It's June now, and the fruit trees are growing branches and leaves, and they are slowly going to bear fruit, and the breeze is blowing next to this fruit grove, and the fragrance is intoxicating.
There is no post house nearby, and she can only eat and sleep in the open.
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Qing moved her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand to rub it, opened her eyes, and didn't want to have someone next to her, she was shocked all of a sudden, what's the matter, last night, I was the only one here, why did someone come out for no reason this morning.
This person was facing her sideways, leaning against a fruit tree with her, sleeping, Yuan Qing turned his head slightly, this person was still asleep, his breathing sound was still very even, when he saw his appearance, Yuan Qing's heart was another sledgehammer falling, how did he follow
Yuan Qing realized that she came on horseback all the way, and no one deliberately followed behind her.
Could it be that I was dazzled Yuan Qing rubbed his eyes vigorously in disbelief, and opened his eyes again to see that he was already awake at this time. To be continued
