Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rumors
"Do you know what I want to tell you when I called you here today?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Moxi, there was no gentle smile in his eyes at all.
He knew the rumors earlier than Jiang Moxi.
Now that Jiang Moxi is married to the royal family, he is still his younger brother's princess, how can he not care about this kind of ugly thing.
Not to mention that if this matter is really like the rumors, then it is absolutely impossible for him to show mercy to Jiang Moxi's subordinates.
"The concubine doesn't know."
Jiang Moxi honestly knelt there and didn't say much.
"Today, I have received a number of memorabs, all of which say that you colluded with the cult."
If it weren't for Jiang Moxi's identity, he would definitely detain Jiang Moxi first, and then interrogate this matter carefully.
Naturally, cult affairs cannot be forgiven and covered up.
"Your Majesty, this matter was deliberately framed by someone, don't worry, I will catch the real culprit in a few days, and I will definitely be able to deal with this matter."
Jiang Moxi lowered his head and promised.
"It's better that you find someone to spread rumors within seven days."
After hearing her say this, the emperor also relaxed a little, he naturally didn't want Jiang Moxi to be a person who colluded with the cult, so it would be difficult to do it.
First of all, Mo Guli is over there, he must be able to see that his imperial brother has a deep affection for Jiang Moxi, and then there is Jiang Mu, after Jiang Nan died, Jiang Mu will only have this one child left, if Jiang Moxi is corrected again, then Jiang Mu will not be disappointed in the royal family.
After the important things were said, he let her go.
Jiang Moxi returned to the regent palace indignantly, this matter was obviously a situation made by Jiangnan in order to fake his death, how could it become that she had an affair with Jiangnan.
This kind of thing naturally can't be delayed, Jiang Moxi said hello and walked towards the street, since she couldn't catch people's heads, then she saw one by one, she didn't believe that she would arrest them all and report them to the official, and she couldn't interrogate who spread the message.
Since the murderer behind the scenes wants to spread rumors, it will definitely make people go around publicizing these things, Jiang Moxi only needs to disguise a little, and he can naturally catch people by mixing in them.
It just so happened that there were a group of people in front of him, as if they were chatting about something, Jiang Moxi smiled coldly in his heart, heh, it was just right.
Lowered the veil on his face and quietly blended in.
"Have you heard? The princess of the Regent's Mansion was in collusion with the cult, and her brother died because of this. ”
"That's right, I saw that her brother seemed to have been beaten to death in the street by some cult person yesterday."
"I thought they kidnapped the little boy of the General's Mansion and wanted to extort the ransom but couldn't do it, so they were angry and beat people to death."
"You don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the collusion with the cult and didn't dare to speak out, how could someone like the princess of the regent palace not be able to catch those people who killed his brother, he must not dare."
The more the propagandist said, the more evil he became, and finally everyone seemed to believe it, after all, what he said was completely consistent with yesterday's scene, Jiang Moxi did not pursue it afterwards, but just cremated Jiangnan silently, which is also a fact in the eyes of everyone.
At this moment, Jiang Moxi really couldn't bear it anymore. Pushing aside the crowd and rushing in, looking at the person who was spreading rumors just now, grabbed his wrist, pulled him out of the crowd with a tug.
"Hey, what are you going to do?!"
The man who was pulled didn't expect Jiang Moxi and a woman to have so much strength, and he screamed in surprise for a while, and the people who echoed him just now just gave way one after another, and none of them stepped forward.
This kind of thing is not easy to provoke at first glance, so don't get into trouble when you step forward.
In the end, because no one stopped him, Jiang Moxi knocked people out unhindered and pulled them into the yamen.
The people in the yamen naturally knew Jiang Moxi, and it was because the people from the Jiang Mansion came to make trouble before that they reported to the officials twice, but now the officials who arrested people are not familiar with Jiang Moxi, and they are even more respectful for a while.
"I wonder what the princess regent has to do when she comes?"
As she spoke, the official looked at the man who was thrown there next to her.
"He is spreading my rumors everywhere in the capital, and the emperor has ordered me to deal with this matter, so you can watch and do it."
As soon as some words are taken out and the emperor is famous, it will be different.
The eyes of the officers and soldiers immediately became solemn, this matter was explained by the emperor, then he could not delay, he had heard the rumors in the capital recently.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely ask you a question about this matter."
Jiang Moxi naturally believed in the yamen's methods, nodded with satisfaction and continued, "There may be more than this, I'll go to the street to see it later, if there are still people spreading rumors, then I'll send it to you again in a while, and interrogate it together." ”
Jiang Moxi waved her hand, and went back to the street to catch the people who spread rumors, she went to those small alleys that were not noticeable, and went to catch them wherever she saw the excitement, and suddenly caught three more people.
They all dragged people into the yamen in the same way as just now, handed them over to the official, and the four people who propagated the rumors looked at each other.
"It should be these four people, you can interrogate them."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Moxi sat in the prison, next to a chair that the official had moved for her, and sat on it leisurely looking at the four people who had been tied to the pillar.
And those four people are just ordinary people, where they have been so frightened, the officials have already begged for mercy without any punishment.
"The official spares his life, spares his life, someone instructed us to do this matter!"
Looking at the red-hot soldering iron in the hands of the officers and soldiers, one of the men cried bitterly, he was the happiest one at the beginning.
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers did not make a statement, but just looked back at Jiang Moxi's face, Jiang Moxi motioned for him to stop, and stood up and walked in front of the man.
"Oh, then who do you say instructed you to do?"
Jiang Moxi forbade standing in front of that person, waiting for him to tell the real culprit behind the scenes.
“… I, I don't know. ”
After saying this, Jianjiang Moxi seemed to be impatient again, and hurriedly said, "I really don't know, that person only gave me two silver taels, and the whole body was covered tightly, I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and even the voice was indistinguishable." ”
The man was crying, he wasn't lying, it was.
Jiang Moxi carefully looked at his eyes, and there was indeed no sign of lying.
The other three were also frightened and said the same thing as him, not knowing whether they had confessed in advance or if they really didn't know.
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Jiang Huailin's doing, but Jiang Huailin learned the lesson of the last time, so naturally she didn't dare to be so arrogant, she knew the seriousness of this matter after it was discovered, and she didn't come forward in person.
Just let Ah Berry disguise the past, give them silver taels and let them spread rumors, at least it can ruin Jiang Moxi's reputation, and even better if the emperor really believes it, it can also make the emperor suspicious of her.
Jiang Moxi still didn't believe that they didn't know the mastermind behind the scenes, and the four of them said the same thing one after another. It's hard to keep her suspicious.
However, after interrogating for a long time, the four people still confessed the same, and even when the officials wanted to torture them again, Jiang Moxi believed a little.
Maybe the person behind it is better disguised.
But thinking about it, there don't seem to be many people in the capital who have enmity with them.
It is even said that there should only be people from Jiang Mansion, Jiang Tong was driven out of the capital, and Old Man Jiang has been seriously injured recently, so he can't come out to toss. There should be only Jianghuai Forest left.
However, even if she thought that it was Jiang Huailin's problem, she had no evidence, and went out of the yamen in a hurry.
And Jiang Huailin asked Ah Berry to keep an eye on the movements of the capital, and naturally he also knew about today's events, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
She has suffered losses on Jiang Moxi's side for so long, and this time she finally moved back a game.
And after Jiang Moxi understood the ins and outs of the matter. This matter is to go to the palace and explain it to the emperor.
People who are emperors always have to be a little suspicious, and if Jiang Moxi doesn't explain this matter, he will always take root in his heart, and maybe it will break out one day.
"That's the way it is."
The emperor didn't expect that this had passed, and Jiang Moxi sorted things out in less than a day, and he also appreciated Jiang Moxi a little more for a while, and she was worthy of being Jiang Mu's daughter.
"It's just a rumor, and it's just a clear explanation."
After the emperor finished speaking, he had nothing else to say to Jiang Moxi, and let him out of the palace.
As for why Jiang Moxi didn't sue the emperor, saying that Jiang Huailin did this matter, she had no evidence in her hands, and if there was no evidence, Jiang Huailin would easily be able to complete this matter, and it would be a waste of time instead of making too much splash.
When she thought of Jiang Huailin's smug face, she felt uncomfortable.
As for today's account, she will naturally recover today's loss.
And after Jiang Moxi left, the emperor stood in the imperial study. I also let go of the big stone in my heart.
He said that he was with Mo Guli every day, how could Jiang Moxi collude with the cult, if it was collusion, then Mo Guli would definitely be the first to notice, and if he was aware, he would definitely tell him that he was a brother.
I have to say that the emperor's ability to comfort himself is not inferior to Jiang Moxi.
"Coming back?"
Mo Guli had been waiting for Jiang Moxi to go back for a long time, and he knew about the rumors these days. It was Jiang Moxi who said that he could handle it, so he didn't care about it, but if Jiang Moxi couldn't handle it, he would never stand idly by.
