"Amu Gulang is a native of the Zhou Kingdom, he was not yet ten years old when the Feng family had a bloody incident at the earliest, if there were no locals associated with him, he would not have noticed the Feng family, to be precise, he participated in the murder of the Ministry of Works." Qingyun frowned.
"What the master said is good." Long Ying said in a deep voice: "The subordinates found Feng Zhongping, Feng Shilang's personal attendant, according to his confession, someone threatened him to spy on Feng Shilang with the safety of his family, and when he learned that Feng Shilang was going to secretly write to the emperor, he reported that those people in the account book were greedy for the silver taels used to repair the river, causing the river embankment to burst and cause floods;
It didn't take long for Feng Shilang to die unexpectedly, Feng Zhongping's conscience was uneasy all day long, and his family eventually died at the hands of those people, fearing that he would also be wiped out, so he fled overnight and fled incognito to survive;
He recognized that the person who wanted to blackmail him back then was Zheng Yuanqing, the Marquis of Xuanyi, and overheard the conversation between Zheng Yuanqing and his subordinates, it seems that there is another person behind Zheng Yuanqing, and Amu Gulang was also found by that person, on the way back to Yamen from Feng Shilang's inspection of the flood, Amu Gulang's people created a false impression that Feng Shilang was accidentally outside, and he does not know who that person is. โ
"What a Feng Zhongping! What a group of traitors who have brought disaster to the country and the people! The eyebrows under Qingyun's eyes contained a clear and murderous aura.
If it weren't for the scum who took bribes and bent the law, the people on both sides of the river would not have been ruined by the floods.
According to historical records, Zheng Yuanqing and his family were all killed in an accidental fire in the third month after Feng Shilang was killed.
It's just that Zheng Yuan Qinggui is the marquis, how can he be willing to obey the orders of the person behind the scenes? Is there a handle in the hands of that person or is that power too powerful?
"What about the Su family?"
"The subordinates found out about the late Lord Su's embezzlement of ink, which is actually related to the splendid picture of rivers and mountains painted by the founding emperor himself."
Splendid rivers and mountains?
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.
Qingyun's hand holding the teacup also slammed suddenly, and the expression on her beautiful and vulgar face was very solemn.
She heard her father say that the founding emperor painted a picture of the Jin Kingdom as a birthday gift to the founding queen when he ascended the throne, and the founding queen wrote the inscription 'splendid rivers and mountains' and cherished it like a treasure, never shown in front of people, but unfortunately after the death of the founding queen, the picture also disappeared inexplicably.
The founding emperor ordered people to secretly search for many years and found nothing, and before his death, he told the successor emperor to find the picture and return it to the mausoleum of the founding queen.
Eleven years ago, my father did find the picture to fulfill the founding emperor's last wish, but he didn't tell her the details, but he didn't expect it to be related to Su Zihan's father.
"You go on."
"Yes." Long Ying continued: "My subordinates learned from an old man of the Cao Gang that since ancient times, the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, which have the most powerful forces in Shangyang County, have been fighting endlessly, and the successive county guards in the past have turned a blind eye to maintain a calm appearance, but the honest and upright and stubborn Lord Su has repeatedly suppressed and suppressed the two forces, so he has formed a grudge with the two gangs;
Shortly before the accident, the two gangs had a fierce fight over the turf and injured innocent people.
The leaders of the two gangs naturally couldn't sit still, so it was rare to sit down calmly to discuss countermeasures, and Mr. Tiemu, who was a guest in the Cao Gang at the time, came up with an idea, saying that Lord Su's only hobby in his life was to collect poems and ancient paintings, so it was better to let Lord Su lose his official position and send his life once and for all;
Although the leaders of the two gangs hated Lord Su, after all, Lord Su was an official, they were the people, and the people did not fight with the officials, plus Lord Su was a good official, they didn't want to do so badly, but they couldn't stand Mr. Tiemu's lobbying and pressure from someone in the court.
The next day, the leaders of the two gangs asked their subordinates to pretend to be ordinary people to go to the Assassin Mansion to accuse Lord Su of corruption and perversion of the law.
The emperor knew Lord Su's temperament very well, and he didn't believe that Lord Su would be corrupt and bend the law at all, and he also planned to praise Lord Su for his efforts to recover the splendid rivers and mountains, but he didn't want the two gang leaders to coerce thousands of people in Shangyang County to jointly write a letter to justifiably accuse Lord Su of corruption and fraud during his tenure;
Seeing that the public was angry, Lord Su couldn't find strong evidence to prove his innocence, and at the same time, he didn't want the emperor to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to admit his guilt;
Grateful for Lord Su's deep understanding of righteousness and sacrifice, the emperor only beheaded him and exiled his family members, and his heirs could still participate in the imperial examination;
Within a month of the incident, the leaders of the two gangs and those involved in the plan died.
The old man was the elder of the gang and naturally participated in that secret conversation, and he was also assassinated by unknown people, but fortunately, he pretended to be dead and escaped, but he was left with a lifelong disability, but he didn't know who the person in the court who put pressure on the leaders of the two gangs was;
According to the old man's description of Mr. Tiemu's appearance, the subordinates remembered that Princess Wuyun had said that Amu Gulang's nickname was Timur, and they suspected that Mr. Temu was Amu Gulang, so they rushed to Zhou. โ
After listening to the dragon shadow's return, everyone was upset for a while.
It is not difficult to understand that Feng Shilang touched the interests of some people and was killed, but Lord Su's case sounds incredible, what is the matter?
And Amu Gulang, who colluded with his own people to murder his own court officials before he was ten years old, what benefit could he get from it?
Qingyun knew the reason why those people murdered Lord Su, Shangyang County ranked third in the economic powerhouse of the Jin Kingdom, and the depth of the power and depth of the water contained in it can be imagined, but Lord Su was loyal to his father and upright, and he didn't know how to be smooth and flexible, so he naturally became a thorn in the side of many people, and it was normal for him to end up like that.
"Where are those two now?"
"The subordinates placed the two of them in a secret place, just waiting for the master to summon them."
Putting down the teacup, Qingyun said in a deep voice: "First settle the two of them properly, and then make a decision after I discuss it with my father." โ
"Subordinates obey!"
"You should also go down and rest, you must recuperate for a while after being so seriously injured."
"Master Xie cares, and his subordinates have nothing to do."
Waving his hand to signal everyone to stand back, Qingyun leaned back slightly, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, with an unconcealable tiredness and gloom in his eyes.
"Things have gradually become clear, and I believe that the truth will soon come out." Mo Xuan got up and walked behind Qingyun, his hands relaxing her shoulders with moderate strength.
"Although there are witnesses and physical evidence in Feng Shilang's case, Zheng Yuanqing is dead, and the people behind the scenes are so cunning, even those officials in the account book don't know the true identity of the person in the ledger, so they can only try to see if they can find out the clues, as for Master Su, even his father couldn't clarify Lord Su's innocence at that time, and now the case can't be overturned just by the old man's words.
It's a pity that the things we got from the southern courtyard of Amugulang are only related to the Chu State and the Liang State, and there are some small surrounding countries, and the things related to our own country are only afraid that they will either be taken away or destroyed. โ
"Su Jingru?"
Qingyun shook his head: "Su Jingru is the prime minister's person on the surface, but in fact she is Liang Sicong's person, if it is really her, it is impossible to just take or destroy the evidence about her country and leave Liang Guo." โ
"You suspect it's the prime minister's person?" Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Qingyun closed his eyes slightly: "I can't say it, but I always feel that it is inseparable from the prime minister, he has won the trust and respect of the emperor, and he is also an auxiliary minister, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, and he wants to ......"
The white fingertips suddenly pressed against Qingyun's cherry lips, and seeing that Qingyun's open eyes flashed with doubt, Mo Xuan lowered his voice and said, "There are people outside." After speaking, he walked quickly to the window, opened the window suddenly, and saw a figure quickly disappear into the bushes in the distance, and the dancing shadow immediately chased after him quietly, and after a while, he returned and said respectfully: "Master, it's Mama Yuan." โ
"Mama Yuan?!" Qingyun's face suddenly became as quiet as frost: "I remember that Mama Yuan doesn't know martial arts, how can it be that no one notices when she enters the main courtyard?" โ
Mo Xuan was also thoughtful: "She shouldn't have heard anything when she just entered the main courtyard." โ
"Subordinates and other derelictions of duty, please punish the master!" Wuying and the secret guards on duty knelt heavily on the ground with shame, but as the secret guards, they let Yuan Mama approach the main courtyard under their noses, if the master made any mistakes because of this, they would not be able to atone for their deaths.
Waving his hand to signal everyone to get up, a grim sneer rose at the corner of Qingyun's lips: "I didn't expect Mama Yuan to hide it deeply, I have always underestimated her." โ
In the midsummer evening, the brilliant sunset renders the blue sky, and in the imperial garden, where flowers bloom, everyone gathers in twos and threes and whispers to talk, and the atmosphere seems very peaceful.
looked at the young and unfamiliar faces among the ministers, and then looked at the father who couldn't see clearly with his head down, and the son who usually everyone stammered but now no one cares, especially Zhilan's stinky girl who was sitting next to Princess Xian, and the beautiful face of the concubine couldn't help but be gloomy as if she could wring out water.
"The emperor has arrivedโthe ninth princess has arrivedโ"
As a high-pitched voice sounded, Emperor Huiwen took Qingyun's hand and slowly walked to the main seat, and his starry eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground and said majestically: "Flat." โ
"Emperor Xie!" Everyone thanked and sat down.
Emperor Huiwen opened his mouth and said: "Tonight is to wash the dust for the heroes who have quelled the civil strife, you don't have to be restrained, you can drink heartily." โ
Having said that, there are few people who really dare to drink heartily, but Sima Yue keeps pushing cups and changing lamps with the third brother and the fifth brother.
Seeing that everyone was sitting upright, Qingyun smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard these days, and this palace should reward everyone for bringing back a special food from Jiuyuan County." โ
