545 Causes
"I have collected all this money and used it to buy the maids around the Guogong Mansion to inquire about his whereabouts, so that I can guess the place where he placed these things, so as to wait for the opportunity to steal them. But while doing these things, I accidentally let the son of the world bump into ......"
"The prince bumped into you?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and said.
"That's right. But now it seems that he has forgotten about it. ”
Mama Ning nodded, "It's not easy for me to deal with these things, he was only five years old at that time, and I finally found out that night that Grandpa Guo's inner study was secretly located, and I thought that things must be hidden there." So I sneaked around in the middle of the night, but before I could enter, the prince jumped out of nowhere and blocked my way!
"Fortunately, he was not very old at that time, and no matter how smart he was, it would have been extremely easy for me to deal with him with my preparation. Afterwards, I got out, but he complained to his wife, saying that I had sneaked into the inner study in the middle of the night. I was scared half to death, Grandpa Guo's inner study is never allowed to outsiders to enter, I had to argue that I found evidence that Grandpa Guo secretly missed Princess Chen, and I wanted to find out.
My wife was suspicious, and only reprimanded me a few words, but did not punish me. But when the prince saw that I was not punished, he turned his head and told the old lady about it, and the old lady told the grandfather of the country, who rewarded me with a meal, and if it had not been for the wife's intercession, he would have almost removed me.
"So what I'm really afraid of is not the accidental killing of the young master, but because I know that the Fire Phoenix Order is in the hands of Grandpa Guo, and I don't know whether the importance of this order rumored outside is true or false, but I know. With this, the true identity of the son can be proved. This can involve the lives of hundreds of people in the Han family, if the news leaks, the Han family is afraid that even the nine clans will be extinct!
"Grandpa Guo must attach more importance to this matter than his own dead heir!
"From this moment on, I hated Shizi, but I didn't want him to die, because no matter how bold I was, I was not sure that I could kill him. What's more, I already have a human life tied to me.
"I just hope it would be best if he could die. And his mind has gradually become extraordinary over the years, and I am even more afraid that he will remember this incident when he was a child, and he will become suspicious of me again. If these things are something he catches and turns it over. Then if I don't die for killing the young master by mistake, I will definitely be killed by Grandpa Guo!
"Especially after he quietly got the title of Viscount, this courage and ability scared me even more, if he really remembered the events of the year or had doubts, then I think it would be many years later. He's sure he'll find out about it! So I can only continue to provoke the conflict between my wife and the son. borrowed his wife's hand to deal with the son. ”
She gasped violently as she spoke. It seems that even the mention of this still makes her unable to hold herself.
Shen Yan didn't have any excitement at this time, this old woman was carrying so many secrets, it was an outlier. Not only is she poisonous, but she is also not small, and she stirred up such a big misunderstanding between the masters with the power of one person, and she almost retreated!
It is true that the more inconspicuous the person, the more difficult it is to guard, and it is no wonder that the hierarchy between masters and servants has become more and more strict from generation to generation, even if people's hearts are not evil, at certain times, when they encounter certain things, they will become careless.
She said, "Since you are so scared, why don't you just report Grandpa Guo?" If you report these things, isn't there nothing left? ”
"It's not like I haven't thought about it."
Mama Ning smiled bitterly, "As long as I tell this, then I will become a great hero of the imperial court!" But I'm just a minion, how many levels do I have to go through if I want to get these straight to the sky? The Han family is one of the most powerful ministers in the court, I want to report the master? I was afraid that the front foot would step into the yamen, and the back foot would let the grandfather of the country kill him.
"Besides, even if I tell this, who will believe me? Before going to Jinling, Grandpa Guo had made all the preparations, so that no one had ever known that he had been to Jinling for so many years, let alone that he would have something to do with Chen Wangfu! It's because I'm afraid of death that I don't dare to do it. ”
Shen Yan pondered for a long time, and then said: "In this way, what really scares you is the prince, you confessed these things to your wife that day, because you were afraid that the prince would pull out this incident back then, and then arouse the vigilance of the grandfather of the country?" ”
"I can only do this, so that they will not remember that I have other plans for Grandpa Guo, that is, the prince remembers that I was once caught by him, and I can also explain that I am trying to find out these secrets for my wife." Mama Ning said.
"But then you'll die, too." Shen Yan said. "He doesn't doubt you, you can't change the fate of death."
"Nope." She raised her head and said with blazing eyes: "Grandma really thinks that I just went home and waited to die?"
"I've been preparing for so many years, people have been killed, and the truth has been explained, do I have anything to scruple about? You're afraid to think that Xu Donghai was just an outsider, so you didn't make it difficult for him at that time.
"To tell the truth, if Mrs. Tai didn't let me come out at that time, I would tell Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo that as long as I die, Xu Donghai will spread the news of the Fire Phoenix Order in the hands of the Han family! Now that the emperor has regarded the Han family as a thorn in his side, do you think this news is true or false for the emperor? ”
"Xu Donghai?!" Shen Yan squinted and stood up.
On the second day after Mama Ning was detained, Xu Donghai had little to do with the government, and the Han family did not have a tradition of careless disregard for people's lives, so they only accepted his shop's property, and then let him get a board and let him out. She really didn't expect Mama Ning to be waiting for her here!
She walked up to Mama Ning, kicked her over, stepped on her chest and said, "So, now that you are not dead, then Xu Donghai hasn't had time to spread the word?" ”
Mama Ning gasped: "Even if he didn't let him out, don't you want to find him!" If you let me out, no one will know this secret! ”
Shen Yan pursed her lips and bared her teeth: "It seems that Mrs. has really fattened your guts over the years, and you still dare to threaten me?" - Someone, please come and talk! ”
Han Ji was reading the news handed over by Xin Yi in the study, and when he heard that Shen Yan let him enter the main courtyard, he didn't know what was going on, so he got up and went to where Shen Yan was.
When he entered the door and saw Shen Yan, who was majestically stepping on the ground, he was also startled and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Yan waved everyone down and sneered: "I'm not afraid to scare you to death if I say it!" After speaking, he told him everything that Fang Cai Ning had explained, and then said: "Not only did the Huo Feng Ling, who we have been looking for for so long without a clue, be known to this old slave about her whereabouts, but now she is still threatening me not to give her some color, she really thinks that our brains are not as good as her!" ”
Han Ji was shocked when he heard that the Fire Phoenix Order was in the hands of Wei Guogong, he was also shocked to the ground, after so many years of telling Mama Ning, if he didn't mention it, he really didn't remember it! Although Mama Ning wanted to kill him not necessarily because of his complaint, but at least because he was afraid of him, and he didn't expect that the Fire Phoenix Order was in the hands of Wei Guogong, but they had never heard him talk about it!
But now is not the time to talk about that. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Mama Ning on the ground, raised his voice to call Tao Xing, and said: "Immediately take someone to guard the city gates on all sides, and then find a person who is born in the face to go to Shuntian Mansion, and report that the woman in the family was raped, and it was a man in his sixties who had come to Beijing from Hejian for several years, named Xu Donghai." If there is a person who reports the whereabouts, a reward of 100 taels of silver! ”
Tao Xing turned and left.
Mama Ning's face turned gray immediately! She never expected Han Ji to make such a precise move in such a short time! Since Xu Donghai has to wait to spread the news, he must still stay in Jingshi, and Shuntianfu will inevitably arrest Xu Donghai for the crime of rape (yin) when he receives the report, and Xu Donghai doesn't know that she has already explained the matter, how could he think that he was arrested because the Han family was taking him?
At this moment, she really convulsed. "Didn't grandma promise me to spare my life if I confessed?! How did you backtrack again?! She got up to hug Shen Yan's feet, but was stepped on by Han Ji halfway, and a pair of arms were suddenly broken clean!
Shen Yan took a half step back and said, "Which ear did you hear me say that I promised to spare you from dying?" She just stated a few possibilities, she thought too much, how could she blame her? Besides, with these things she did, even if she died ten times, she still wanted to save her life? When she's as innocent as she is!
"Drag it down, wait until Xu Donghai is caught, and kill the two of them together!"
Mama Ning was dragged out, but the room was still immersed in silence.
Xu Donghai couldn't escape, and within three days he had to be escorted back to the Wei Mansion to meet. Mama Ning basically doesn't have any doubts here, but the question left is whether this Fire Phoenix Order is in the hands of Wei Guogong?
"Let's go and ask Grandpa Guo directly, shall we?" Shen Yan said.
Han Ji pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Since Wei Guogong discussed these matters with Han Ji and them, he also took the errand to confess Han Ji's identity to Gu Zhicheng and others.
Just when Shen Yan was judging Mama Ning, he was here to make an appointment with Gu Zhicheng, Dong Keli, and Xue Zhu's father, Xue Dunyi, to drink in the courtyard.
Rong Guogong and several other grandfathers went to the camp because they were on duty, so they were not here.
Everyone heard that something had happened to the Han family in the past few days, and they were all seriously injured and in a coma, so they secretly wondered when they saw him and found them out to drink. However, when he heard what he said, they were so surprised that their jaws almost fell to the ground!
They never thought that King Chen still had blood in the world, let alone that Han Ji, who they watched grow up, was actually King Chen's orphan!
But in addition to the shock, this is undoubtedly good news, originally everyone just knew that they had to rehabilitate King Chen in order to earn a good future, but now Han Ji is the orphan of King Chen, so naturally this step has become an inevitable move. And with Han Ji here, this struggle is even more justified and full of confidence. (To be continued......)
