Chapter Ninety-Seven: One More Move
Kang Lu was really ruthless, and on the second day of the birthday banquet, he took Kang Lianlei to see the official, Kang Lianlei refused, and cried non-stop along the way, which attracted the attention of many people.
Although Dali Siqing and the Protector Commander are at the same level, it stands to reason that the case involves the same level and has no right to try it, and it should be reported to the Criminal Department, but Dali Siqing is a civil official, and the Protector Commander is a military attaché.
Ma Lian naturally did not admit his guilt, and the case had no result, but the matter at the birthday banquet was well known, and in the afternoon of the day Kang Lu reported to the official, the matter spread, and Kang Lianlei looked for death and life as soon as she returned home, and Mrs. Kang was even more anxious and fainted directly.
Shen Luo knew about it every other day, and after listening to Fran tell the good show of Dali Temple in a colorful way, her face did not show any special look, but as if she hadn't heard it, she was still squatting on the ground and fiddling with the small daisy newly planted in the yard.
The last time she visited Ma's Mansion, although Ma Lian was very sluggish, Mrs. Ma was very eager, for fear of offending the Regent's Mansion, so she specially sent two small packets of daisy seeds when Shen Luo left.
After returning to the palace, Shen Luo casually sprinkled those seeds in the courtyard, but he didn't expect that after only a few days, they had already emerged.
"We haven't taken care of this kind of thing, and the maids in the house haven't played with it, who knows that it actually bloomed on its own......" said about the Dali Temple, Shen Luo didn't react, Fran felt bored, so he shifted his attention, looking at the little flowers under his feet and feeling very novel.
Shen Luo just smiled and didn't speak, and Fran said again: "This flower is easy to feed, why is Mrs. Ma still talking so complicated, as if it is such a delicate work." ”
"That's right..."Shen Luo responded, looking at the daisy's gaze a little fluttering, and she didn't know whether she was talking about raising flowers or insinuating on the side, she said: "Some thoughts, but it's just a waste of effort, it's just a little more." ”
……
Dali Temple tried Kang's case for two consecutive days, but in the end it still failed to convict Ma Lian. It stands to reason that the things at the birthday banquet are clear and clear, and it won't take so long, but Dali Temple has been examined for so long and still can't reach a conclusion, and Kang Lu realized that something was wrong.
Originally, Kang Lu went to report to the official, thinking that the literature was heavy and the martial arts were light, and he first passed through Fan Jing, which was considered to be a special elevation of Fan Jing's identity, rather than directly crossing the Dali Temple to the criminal department to complain. Fan Jing has always been cautious and cautious, he thought that the case was at the same level, and he would definitely not take this case, but who knew that he did.
It wasn't until the end that there was no result, and Kang Lu realized that maybe Ma Lian had greeted him in Dali Temple in advance and wanted to delay some time in Dali Temple, so that he could think of ways to dredge up the relationship and reduce his guilt.
However, Kang Lu naturally didn't know that Ma Lian didn't fight for this time, not to reduce his guilt, he was more greedy, and he wanted to completely clear his sins and exonerate him directly, because he was not walking around looking for people, but looking around to find places where Shen Luo might do something.
Things have developed to this point, and it is naturally a calculation of Shen Luo. Ma Lian is not a person who is stunned, and wanting him to commit such a crime is definitely not something that can be facilitated by a few words, how can it be possible without medicine?
Fortunately, although it was drugged, Shen Luo was extremely cautious, she first deliberately argued with Kang Lianlei in Shuyizhai, took the opportunity to sprinkle some kind of incense powder on the satin, and asked Fran to use words to provoke her, ensuring that Kang Lianlei would wear the satin dress at the birthday banquet, and then, Shen Luo went to Ma Fu and asked Fran and Hua Yi to cooperate and put another medicine in Ma Lian's tea.
In fact, the incense powder and the medicine alone will not have any effect, but Ma Lian, who drank the medicine, will be extremely sensitive to the taste of the incense powder on Kang Lianlei's body, and after smelling the incense powder, he will be delirious and make a shocking act of lust.
But what if Ma Lian knew about these things? He has already drunk the tea, and there is no trace of it, and the remaining medicinal properties in his body have long since disappeared after being beaten by Hua Yi, and the incense powder on Kang Lianlei's dress is not a poison, even if the imperial doctor comes to investigate, he will only think that it is some kind of uncommon spice.
No matter how Ma Lian checked, the tea had already gone down his stomach, and the tea cup had been cleaned by the maid, Kang Lianlei's clothes, the Kang family wouldn't let him look at them, where did he go to check?
As Shen Luo said, Ma Lian's actions were just in vain, and they were just too much.
After all, it only dragged on for two days, and as soon as Kang Lu found out that something was wrong, he even crossed the criminal department directly, and stabbed the matter directly in front of the emperor. Su Jingyou was furious, but he didn't believe that Ma Lian was so bold, so according to what Kang Lu said, he passed Shen Luo into the palace on the tenth day of the fifth month, wanting to verify the matter.
Going around and around, this step was originally set by Shen Luo. Even if Kang Lu did not cross the Criminal Department, he had resigned for many years, and he had no connections in the Criminal Department, as long as Ma Lian personally talked to Chen Peiyuan about it, there was only no opponent in the officialdom, and this bit of face always had to be given, and it was not impossible to delay it for another three or five days.
When the holy decree in the palace was transmitted to the Regent's Mansion, it was a little abrupt, except for the people present at the birthday banquet that day, outsiders naturally would not know the role of Shen Luo, except for Fran and Hua Yi in the Regent's Palace, the rest of the people naturally did not know. Traditionally, the emperor would not summon his courtiers and wives, and asking about something was just to let his concubines knock on the side, but Su Jingyou had to ask about this matter in person.
First, there is no queen in the palace, and the four concubines are also empty, and the only one with a high rank is Wan Peier. But Su Jingyou also knew that Wan Peier had always been close to Shen Luo, and she didn't have any scheming, so she asked her to ask, but she was afraid that she would be biased in favor of Shen Luo a little, so no matter what Shen Luo said, she couldn't tell the truth from the false. Second, Ma Lian, as a leader of the guards, although he is a military general, he is also an official of the third grade of the imperial court, and what he committed is still forcibly contemptuous of the noble concubine in public, and even a circle of guards can't stop him. It is the emperor who must inquire in person.
Shen Luo didn't have any worries after receiving the order, but when the other people in the mansion saw that the emperor had summoned him personally, they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts, and some of them were quick to talk about it, but they had already told Xi Zhu about it.
Xi Zhu has been recuperating in the West Courtyard since he was beaten by Su Zhi's board, and Su Zhi was also ruthless when he thought about it, Shen Luo originally thought that Su Zhi kept Xi Zhu to monitor himself, until he went to the West Courtyard to see it, and saw that Xi Zhu even had some difficulty turning over, so he was relieved.
