Chapter 64: Luo An's Journey Again (4)
What is unexpected is that the Xihexing firm located in Jingnan Road was the first to surrender among the many businesses involved, shaking out the evidence of the Xiangwang Mansion one by one. Judging from the evidence provided by Xi Hexing and the material allocation records, there are at least 100,000 personal soldiers behind the Xiangwang Mansion, and the rebellion intention is clearly revealed!
In order to encourage more businesses involved in the case to expose the rebellion of the Xiangwang Mansion, Emperor Hongyuan issued an edict to those who voluntarily surrender and provide evidence and clues, and those who are verified to be exempted from the death penalty. Rebellion is a great crime of the nine clans, and when everyone heard that they could avoid death, they all rushed forward to expose the rebellion of the Xiangwang Mansion.
The Xiangwang Mansion collapsed almost overnight.
The more shocking news was still to come, the army sent by the imperial court to Xiangzhou to capture the king of Xiangjun had not yet left Changxing, and the news of the suicide of the king of Xiangjun in fear of crime reached the court. Before Liu You, the king of Xiangjun, killed his wives and concubines, and there was no one left. Where Liu You's body was ambushed, there were only two words that were written on blood - "apologize".
In the morning, the servant found the corpse of the master in a room and was half frightened.
It is reported that Emperor Hongyuan personally went to Zongzheng Temple to inspect the body transported back by the case-handling personnel, and confirmed that he was his nephew Liu You, the king of Xiangjun, and issued an edict to bury him as the Marquis of Xiang, and locked himself in the imperial study for three days and three nights, and finally personally went to Yining Palace to report the matter to Concubine Zhu.
Emperor Hongyuan treated the king of Xiangjun so kindly, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and the courtiers were all moved. In fact, in the past ten years, it has been rumored that Prince Xiang died unexpectedly on the way to the seal was the poisonous hand of Emperor Hongyuan, and now looking at Emperor Hongyuan's treatment of Liu You, the widow of King Xiang, it does not seem to have a deep hatred, so this rumor is self-defeating.
After all, if Prince Xiang was really killed by Emperor Hongyuan, he would definitely kill his son again and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots; Second, he will not be so kind to Concubine Zhu; The third watch will not bury his son Liu You with the gift of a marquis after the evidence of his rebellion is conclusive, because retaining the title is tantamount to erasing the rebellion of the Xiangwang Mansion without mentioning it, and only determined that Liu You "has a bad character and is demoted to a knight and punished".
Liu Yi, the lord of Yi'an County, who was involved in the case, moved to Yining Palace to accompany Concubine Zhu, but the grandparents and grandchildren were not allowed to leave the scope of Yining Palace, which was like imprisonment. Ye Cizhun, the former secretary of the Taifu Temple, stripped him of all the mourning after his death, but the court remembered that he was dead and lost the ability to defend, and could not distinguish whether his subjective consciousness was negligent in employing people or intentionally forming a party, so it was no longer investigated.
The case of Xiangwangfu brought Shen Yue, the transfer envoy of Jingnan Province and the former assassin of Binzhou, to the political forefront.
The ministers had a lot of discussions about the case of King Liu An erecting Dali Temple and directly authorizing Shen Yueqing to investigate the case of Jingnan Dao Junjung, but Emperor Hongyuan was a little disheartened after this case, and had no intention of clarifying the shortcomings of these parents, but he could not ignore the criticism of the ministers, so he treated the matter coldly, neither saying that Liu Angong was wrong, nor rewarding Shen Yue for promotion, so the matter was not discussed.
Xue Chunyue was alone in this case, and there is no evidence that he was involved in the case.
After Liu Yi, the lord of Yi'an, was imprisoned in Yining Palace, Xue Chunyue was allowed to go to Yining Palace to meet him, and since then, the relationship between the two has existed in name only, and it is estimated that they will never see each other again in this life.
After this change, Liu Yi has long lost his former domineering, but his arrogance as the county lord is still retained, "I only want to ask you, did you do it secretly?" ”
"I also ask you, is Ye Ci's difficulty in the Yujiang River caused by the Xiangwang Mansion?"
Liu Yi sneered, "Ye Cizhun is also worthy of dirtying the hands of the Xiangwang Mansion?" ”
Xue Chunyue didn't laugh angrily, "That is the case, I will also reply to you, the overturning of the Xiangwang Mansion is completely due to his own eagerness for quick success, and he is to blame!" ”
Xue Chunyue turned around to leave, Liu Yi finally relented, her eyes were red, and she hugged him behind her back, "Chunyue, let's go back to the island...... The few days I spent away from the state were the happiest times of my life......"
Xue Chunyue closed his eyes, if he was a victim, then Liu Yi was not......
"When I have the chance, I will beg Your Majesty to let you out...... At that time, I will send you wherever you want. ”
"I don't understand your political disputes, and I don't want to understand them! Please...... Don't leave me, okay? ”
Xue Chunyue broke her hand and turned to look at her fixedly, "The Xiangwang Mansion is gone, the only thing you can do now is to be a clan orphan girl quietly." You still have the title of county lord on your head, and no one dares to kill you. Since then...... The child was born safely, and there will be a chance to reunite as a family in the future. ”
"You still don't recognize him......"
Xue Chunyue shook his head helplessly, "Yi'an, that night in Xiangzhou, I was sorry for you, but you should know that this child really has nothing to do with me." ”
Xue Chunyue didn't want to argue with her anymore, and turned around to leave without hesitation.
"Xue Chunyue! Do you really have any real feelings for me?! ”
Xue Chunyue paused, and continued to leave without looking back.
"One day, you'll regret it!"
Liu Yi's mournful shouts were still echoing in Yining Palace, and as soon as Xue Chunyue walked out of the palace gate, he was already blocked by the inner courtiers and taken away from Yining Palace.
Xi Hexing was involved in the rebellion of King Xiang's mansion, and the entire family business was copied from the bottom, but fortunately, Emperor Hongyuan kept his promise and did not embarrass Su Qi's father and son, and released them back to his hometown.
When the news of Changxing came, Ye Qinyu was startled, and was about to urge Xuecheng to rush back to Changxing to pick up Xue Chunyue, but he didn't want to be taken out of his residence by Xuecheng and came to a small town on the outskirts of Luo'an.
In front of him was a small mansion with three entrances and three exits, Xuecheng opened the door with ease, and after welcoming Ye Qinyu and Xinyan in, he quickly closed the door vigilantly.
"Xuecheng, this is ......"
"Madam, please come with Xuecheng." As he spoke, he took the master and servant to a room in the backyard, and there were a few boxes in the house, and Xue Cheng opened them one by one, and they were full of gold, silver and jewelry!
Ye Qinyu was puzzled, "This is ......"
"This is Xi Hexing's last family background, the young master and Master Su have been busy for many years, and they have been tossed so much that there is only this money left."
Ye Qinyu suddenly became scared, "So...... Why didn't Chunyue come and tell me himself, where did he go? ”
Xue Cheng pursed his lips and continued, "Young Master confessed, this money should be divided into three parts, one to Master Ye, one to Master Su, and the last one to himself. I thought that Lord Ye was no longer alive, but the young master specially sealed it and was going to hand it over to Miss Su, since Lord Ye was still alive and had arrived in Luo'an, I asked you to transfer it to him......"
"Xuecheng! I'm not trying to hear that...... What happened to Chunyue?! Such a big thing happened in Xiangwang's Mansion, why didn't His Majesty blame Chunyue too much? What are you hiding from me, and you still don't want to tell me?! ”
Xue Cheng hurriedly knelt down and said with a sad expression, "Madam, the young master can't help himself, don't blame him...... Xuecheng doesn't know much about the young master's affairs, but the young master never does anything unreasonable...... However, things related to Xiangwangfu, now Xuecheng has something to say to you, and he doesn't dare to hide it. ”
Ye Qinyu looked at Xuecheng's sad appearance, and suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and his whole body was half cold......
"Lord Ye and Young Master Ye were in distress in the Lizhou Strait and were rescued by the King of Xiangjun, and then they reached an agreement with the King of Xiangjun. The king of Xiangjun helped him return to the dynasty, but Lord Ye and the young master had to help the Xiangwang Mansion cultivate power in the equalization and equalization of the institution and obtain financial resources to fund his rebellion. Lord Ye and Young Master didn't want to agree, but thinking that you and Miss Su were still suffering in Changxing, and they themselves were threatened by King Xu, and they were in danger of dying at any time, so it was okay if they died, but what should you do with Miss Su......
"So, they agreed......" Ye Qinyu suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
Xue Cheng nodded, "With the talents of Lord Ye and Young Master, it is not a problem to control and lose evenly, they originally wanted to withdraw as soon as possible after satisfying the desires of Xiangwangfu, and they didn't want Xiangwangfu to be so eager for quick success, so they just had some results and wanted to take advantage of the rebel forces in Jianzhou to raise the first banner of rebellion, and finally were caught by King Xu...... You also know what happened later, Xuecheng didn't know what other tasks the young master had on him, but he was alone, even if he had the ability, he couldn't retreat in the court! ”
"I must find Uncle Jung...... Only Uncle Junn can save him......"
Ye Qinyu settled down, turned to Xuecheng and said, "Uncle Xiao Zhun and Chunyue are both involved in the rebellion case of Xiangwangfu, and the enemy is secret, and we must not make a big show...... Since Sister Yu Ming hid her identity and left us a password, it means that she also knows that Uncle Xiao Zhun is in danger and must live in seclusion...... The small is hidden in the village, the big is hidden in the city, we go to the place where the most people in Luo'an are looking! ”
"What do you mean...... Luo'an Night Market? ”
The Luo'an Night Market is still full of lights and lights, just like when Ye Qinyu first arrived five years ago. Sure enough, mortals are like grasshoppers, no matter how ups and downs they have, they can't shake the red dust and flowers in this world.
When Ye Qinyu was in a trance, Xinyan pulled up her sleeves, pointed to the embroidery stall not far away and said in surprise, "Madam, look, isn't that a place that specializes in selling embroidery!" That's a lot......"
Ye Qinyu nodded and walked over with Xinyan Xuecheng.
Su Yuming and Ye Cizhun both need to take medicine on time, especially Ye Cizhun, the pills needed for heart and lung damage contain a lot of precious medicinal materials, and the cost is not much, Su Yuming herself does not have much savings, and the trip from Shuzhou to Luo'an should have almost exhausted her savings, otherwise she would not need to stay in the cottage inn on the outskirts of Changxing, so what she needs most at the moment is to find a means of livelihood and make a living.
The Su family started in Haizhou with embroidery and satin village, Su Yuming's embroidery workers are well-known in Haizhou, so to speak, embroidery in exchange for life needs should be her first choice in Luo'an, who is not familiar with her life, Ye Qinyu and others went to the embroidery market of Luo'an Night Market to find out if there are any clues.
After some investigation, everyone was very disappointed, the embroidery styles in the bazaar were varied, and the craftsmanship was gathered, but there was no sign of Su Yuming's embroidery, Ye Qinyu couldn't believe it, and asked, "Xinyan, are you sure you have found so many homes, but there are none?" ”
Xinyan was also a little discouraged and depressed, "Mrs. Hui, Xinyan has been doing chores with her father in the pawnshop Ding Taixin since she was a child, and she still has a little ability to see things, Mrs. Da Shao...... Ahem, I mean Miss Su, I have not only seen her embroidery in Haizhou Xue Mansion, but also learned from her, and I will never forget it, but I have found it, and there is really no one that is similar to her technique......"
