Chapter 267: Nerves

It is precisely because of too much self-confidence that it has brought the concubine a lifetime of indelible trauma and remorse.

Ah Jiu bowed his head slightly shyly, is he the one who won the life of the heavens?

Emperor Shenwu heard of it, the concubine said this, the mother said so, and even the letter from his grandfather to him two days ago rarely ridiculed similar words.

Ying Tianyang has already behaved well, can she trust him more?

The concubine patted Ah Jiu's arm with a complicated expression, and sighed faintly: "Now I can't wait to pile all the good things in front of Tianyang and help him remove all obstacles." As far as my mother-in-law is concerned, it is difficult to like you as a daughter-in-law, not that you are not good, nor that you are not close enough to Tianyang, you are always wary and cannot give everything for my son. ”

"Don't be too busy rebutting just yet." The concubine smiled clearly, "You are always inferior to heaven in this regard, and you don't have to feel sorry for your son as a mother-in-law." You are the daughter of my second brother, and as far as your elders are concerned, you are not wrong. You are still young, and there are still decades to go, slowly running in, flowing for a long time, sharing honor and disgrace, not necessarily the most complete, and promising the next life. ”

Ah Jiu followed the concubine into the yamen, she didn't want to tell anyone about the private affairs between her and Tianyang, and she didn't need to prove anything to the concubine.

The yamen of the Criminal Department is in front, and behind it is the prison of the Criminal Department, where the prisoners are held.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the squire, and the officials on duty in the various departments of the Criminal Department have long received a note from King Qi, and they have been carefully preparing to welcome King Qi and his wife these days.

The yamen was exceptionally cleaned, for fear of frightening Princess Qi, and most of the torture instruments used for torture were put away, but they were just sticks. The number plate and other tools that show the majesty of the criminal department are still there.

Among the six ministries, the Criminal Department ranks low, and the real power is not heavy. Once an unjust case occurs, the entire criminal department will be convicted, and it is really a thankless job.

Therefore, from the Shangshu Shilang of the Criminal Department to the petty officials and officials, each of them was trembling and respectful, facing the princess with respect.

Although the failure of King Qi to come in person made them lose the opportunity to perform well and take over King Qi, Princess Qi and the concubine were also worth their efforts.

Let Ah Jiu and the concubine into the study that was cleaned up. Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally accompanied him, he didn't dare to sit, and stood aside stiffly.

This room was supposed to be his resting place. Now it is magnificently furnished and extremely comfortable.

Ah Jiu looked around, "The bookshelves are full of criminal law files?" ”

"The file is separated, and there are several copies of the criminal law." The criminal department Shangshu wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You want to see the dossier?"

Didn't you hear that you came to see Princess Mo Xinlan?

After entering the yamen, the concubine who didn't know a word stared at Ah Jiu suspiciously. Tong Yu didn't understand Ah Jiu, but when he thought of some of the rules and regulations written by Ah Jiu when he was in charge of the palace, there was a relieved smile on his lips.

I have heard that she is most interested in the law, and Tianyang married a daughter-in-law like Ah Jiu with sharp teeth and a hard heart, no wonder she can't completely conquer Ah Jiu's heart now.

"I can't watch it?"

"No, no, the lower official will let people take some files."

King Qi is the invisible crown prince. The glamorous young woman in front of her is the crown princess, how dare the secretary of the criminal department offend the future crown princess. Shousuke's granddaughter.

"There were many files in previous years, and the lower officials selected a few." The secretary of the criminal department respectfully presented stacks of files, and the date and name of the case were written on the white paper in the middle of the military headquarters.

Ah Jiu's desire to read the file was also temporary, not to investigate the wrongful case or anything, but to see with his own eyes what the essential difference between the ancient case file and the extremely detailed cases in his memory.

Picking out one of the files at random, Ah Jiu glanced at the instructions on the white paper, the murder of his wife - "What happened last year? ”

The cases that can be undertaken are those that the Criminal Department thinks they have handled perfectly, and the Criminal Department Shangshu nodded and said: "Husbands and wives occasionally quarrel, the husband kills his wife in anger, the evidence is conclusive, and it has been reported to His Majesty to be executed after the autumn." ”

Ah Jiu removed the seal, evidence, confession, and the interrogation transcript was extremely detailed, and it was perfect from the process of the case, and others could not see that it was boring, but Ah Jiu had a lot of cases with his memory, and he was best at finding loopholes in the evidence confession.

The case attracted her, and she looked at it carefully, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes lightly tapping her index finger at the evidence.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department on the side looked shocked, thinking that Princess Qi was just trying to be fresh, who would have thought that she could really understand?! I was also very patient to look at the autopsy testimony.

To tell the truth, he couldn't eat for three days after watching it, and Princess Qi was a noble lady in the world, so she was not afraid?

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine drank tea leisurely and let Ah Jiu's abnormality go.

After a while, Ah Jiu put down the file and smiled: "I'm fascinated." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department: How can the "......" thing be fascinated?

"There are still doubts in this case, let me take a look at it later." After Ah Jiu closed the file, he handed it to the female bodyguard beside him.

The two names next to her are Qiqi and Eleven, Ah Jiu really can't treat them as ordinary maidservants, and their kung fu is so good that there is no problem in beating three men in one piece.

Everyone in the criminal department wants to die, what are they afraid of, once they are found to be unjust, can they have a good time?

Ah Jiu didn't seem to see everyone's pig-liver-like face, raised his voice and asked, "Has Princess Huai arrived?" ”

The waiter holding the concubine's token at the door replied, "The slave is serving Princess Huai to freshen up." ”

The attendants who were sent by the concubine to interrogate Mo Xinlan were all very discerning and knew what to say and what not to say.

"I have a few private words with Princess Huai, I don't dare to delay your lordship's government affairs, you can go and get busy."

Shangshu and the others of the Criminal Department could only stay away from the study after saluting, they were worried in their hearts, how could they still have the heart to deal with official business? got together to study what was suspicious about the murder of his wife.

There were only his own people left in the house, and the chamberlain approached Ah Jiu and replied in a low voice: "The prison officer didn't dare to treat Princess Huai badly, but she was locked up for several months, she was a little dirty, and the slave maid had already let her wait." Princess Huai was also confused, thinking that Her Royal Highness the princess would go to the prison in person, and when the slave maid went to summon her, she was unhappy for a while. ”

It's a joke that Princess Qi went to the prison! Where is the king of Qi willing to let the princess suffer a little.

"But the most surprising thing about the slave was that she was kept aside......"

The chamberlain glanced at the concubine and wondered what to call it. Mo Xinqing's marriage to the eldest princess was known all over the capital, but I am afraid that no one would expect Mo Xinqing to be locked up in a dark prison with an unknown name.

And it is until you don't even have to be arraigned. There will always be a few such people in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the person who should be sealed has already sealed his mouth.

Ying Tianyang planned to deal with Mo Xinlan later. He took Mo Xinqing out of the prison and put him on death row in Fusi, Jinyi Weibei Town.

After all, the prison is not as tight as the death row of Fusi in Beizhen.

"What did she say?" Ah Jiu asked casually, "Is it a plea?" Or do you want to see me? ”

"Naturally, I want to see you, and I have to beg the slave to ask you to come over. When the slave saw that she was not well-hearted, she had her mouth gagged and tied up. ”

The chamberlain took out a pair of pearl earrings from his cuffs and presented them, "These earrings were originally worn on Princess Huai's ears. The grandmother who served Princess Huai found the slave maid, saying that the earrings had another mystery. Originally, it was difficult to hide such a pickled thing from the grandmother in the palace, and the concubine Niangniang specially ordered it. The slaves did not dare not be unsatisfied. ”

Without waiting for Ah Jiu to react, the concubine, who had been quiet, snatched the pearl earrings from the hands of the waiter, glanced at them and threw them on the ground, "Smash." ”

Immediately, the concubine protected Ah Jiu behind her. I saw the waiter smash the pearl. The white powder was scattered on the ground, and Ah Jiu asked in surprise, "Poison?" ”

Concubine De Guifei motioned to the elderly female official who was good at pharmacology to squat down, and some of the people who were protecting Ah Jiu also stepped forward to check with the old palace maid.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the concubine's eyes, "Tianyang is really attentive to you, even she was invited." ”

In the past, Ah Jiu just regarded the woman as an ordinary person, "The concubine knows Mama Yu?" ”

"Changed your surname?" The concubine frowned slightly, "No matter what her last name is." You just have to remember that anything added to it won't escape her eyes. ”

Back then, if there was a capable person like Mama Yu by her side, she would not have been harmed by Lu Jiang.

Yingtianyang thought of all the dangers in advance. Protecting Ah Jiu well, the concubine sighed enviously, "He is not like anyone, the emperor is not so careful, I ...... He's not like me. ”

Mama Yu gently picked up the white powder and put it under her nose, then twisted it again, thought about it for a while, and said happily: "If the old slave is not wrong, this is a poison that melts blood and makes people fester, immortal, but I didn't expect this medicine to be spread in the world." ”

"Mo Xinqing, it's really vicious!" The concubine's face turned pale and waved her hand: "You put this medicine away." ”

Ah Jiu said: "It's better to ruin it, what does the concubine Niangniang do with this medicine?" ”

The concubine replied lightly; "I'm worried that I can't find a better way to use it on the people who should use it, Ah Jiu, I promise that this medicine will never be used on good people."

Mrs. Lu?

Or will it be used on Lu Jiang in the future?

No matter which of them they were, Ah Jiu had no reason to object.

Although it is a bit of a breakthrough to the lower limit, Ah Jiu can pretend not to know, and he will not inquire.

"Mo Xinqing can't be locked up in the prison anymore, so he was sent to Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi with his face covered." Ah Jiu hated Mo Xinqing for being vicious, except for beating her to get angry, the rest of the cruel methods he couldn't do, "She doesn't add a piece of it to her body, when she will figure it out, when will she give her clothes again." ”

"Yes."

This time, it was Ah Jiu's people who received the order.

As if she hadn't heard it, the concubine just rolled her eyes a little where Ah Jiu couldn't see, and carefully put the packed white powder away:

"If you talk about Mo Xinlan, I have never seen someone who is easier to be used than her, and she specializes in doing things that harm others and herself. At the beginning, she set fire to your father's study, almost buried you in the fire, provoked the ambition of the king, pit the abolished prince, and pit the queen, she still dares to find you, saying that there is a secret, and you are still willing to talk to her. ”

"Thanks to your grandfather's care for the princess early, she started as soon as there was a movement, otherwise she might be able to make a fuss, she tossed left and right, I didn't see her get a little benefit, and the situation has been getting worse and worse recently."

Not only can't the concubine figure it out, but Ah Jiu can't figure it out either, what the hell is Mo Xinlan trying to do, those group of stepsons and stepdaughters are not enough for her to be busy? Or is it easy to deal with the princess and nurse who is pregnant with Wang Xinna?

There was no news outside the Saiwai, so she jumped up and down to build momentum for the abolished prince, and as a result, King Huai, who had always been mediocre and honest, was implicated.

Ah Jiu said softly: "I am not satisfied, I always think that I should live better than anyone else, I just see wealth, but I don't know if I have the ability to control it." ”

Mo Xinlan, who was brought to the door, heard this conversation, tears rolled down, unwilling for herself, and heartache for being insulted.

She had been checked several times from top to bottom, inside and out, even her most intimate places had been checked.

has been a human being for two lives, and Mo Xinlan has never suffered such humiliation.

"Ninth sister, you have the ability to drive slaves and become rich? It's not me, you're just marrying a mediocre man, although you live a rich life, but being a princess and a mother of a country is a dream! ”

In my memory, Ah Jiu has always had a very good life with her cousin of the Jiang family, with the prestige of Jiang Shoufu, Ah Jiu is also a famous noblewoman in the imperial capital, but compared with today, it is far behind.

After all, Jiang Shoufu's final knighthood is just the emperor's grace, how can it be compared with the title of King Qi?

Her husband didn't see much success, just a three-grade Beijing official.

Mo Xinlan also has to admit that Ying Tianyang dumped Ah Jiu's husband in his previous life for more than ten streets in every aspect.

Ah Jiu sneered and laughed, Mo Xinlan really dared to say anything, "Let her in, I have to listen to how my benefactor has favored me so that I can have today." ”

The slave at the door flashed away, Mo Xinlan walked in proudly, although Ah Jiu did not wear Princess Qi's makeup, but she was wearing a well-fitting vermilion brocade dress, and there were not many jewels on her head, but she couldn't stand up to all the noble and delicate, Mo Xinlan squinted her eyes, Ah Jiu's brightness, dignifiedness, and wealth were really difficult to balance.

Obviously, he has the memories of his previous life, and he has become a prisoner, Ah Jiu has unlimited scenery, how can there be such injustices in the world?

It's not that Ah Jiuhe should be rich, but she is too stupid and gave up a great opportunity, she is the benefactor who saved the heavens!

She is also her father's eldest daughter, and her grandfather is a first-class noble auxiliary prince, and she should have married to win the sky and raise someone who should have been her own.

Mo Xinqing reminded Mo Xinlan of these words recently, and the more Mo Xinlan, who was already resentful, thought about it, the more she felt that she had fallen for Ah Jiu's tricks, and Ah Jiu, who was born in the steproom, had seized the marriage of her original concubine.

Mo Xinlan only remembered Ah Jiu's current wealth and honor, and she had long forgotten that she had never been optimistic about Ying Tianyang at the beginning, and said several times that Ying Tianyang was ruthless and could not die well.

Of course, even if she thinks about it, she will make excuses for herself, the reason why she mislooks at Ying Tianyang is because Ah Jiu deliberately said bad things about him in front of her, let herself misunderstand, and took the initiative to give up this excellent marriage, and at the same time, Ah Jiu played right and wrong in front of Ying Tianyang and said all his bad things.

"I'm really stupid, I wanted to treat you well, don't fight with you, go to rob, round our sisters' rare affection, and don't let us fall to the point of being laughed at and sisters fighting for husbands."

Mo Xinlan pointed at Ah Jiu, "I have the heart to be good to you, you have been calculating me, it is impossible for the original concubine and stepdaughter to have one heart, I was deceived by you and your hypocritical mother." Your mother and daughter are not greedy for the dowry left to me by my mother, but they have tried their best in my marriage, forcing me to be a step-room, even if I have a rich dowry, I can't buy happiness. ”

ps The person who brushed the copy twice in the night text didn't have a good result, haha, Mo Xinlan was taken crookedly, but think about falling to her point, it's not crooked, it's not neurological, hey, the normal that was said to be good at the beginning was just a little annoying The female supporting role was ruined by the night again. (To be continued......)
