Chapter 303: Killing People and Destroying Mouths
() He didn't believe that she had changed her whole person just by going back to the Yang family, and now the Yang family had nothing to disagree with him, if it was really the Yang family who instigated something between them, then the estrangement should also be eliminated at this time.
However, he always felt that there was something between them.
What exactly?
However, just as he was about to reminisce and ask, Qin Niang had already bypassed the topic by herself and led the conversation elsewhere, so he couldn't ask any more.
He thought that one day he would make her open her heart willingly and be truly honest with him.
β¦β¦
Two people died in Cheng'an Houfu, and I originally thought that I would go to Jingzhao Mansion to report after I picked people back from Zhuangzi, but I didn't expect that before the Mu family could make a move, the rumors spread again.
"Did you hear that? Miss Mu Jiasan, who was sent to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and her mother died mysteriously after living in Zhuangzi for less than two days. β
"The coffin has been brought back, haven't you heard? You say, that's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it? β
"That's right, you say, shouldn't the two of them know something that shouldn't know, that's why they were killed?"
"Hiss~ You be quiet, in case you let the Yang family or the Gu family hear it, beware of killing you all together."
β¦β¦
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and overnight, such discussions filled the streets and alleys of the capital, and even the storytellers in the Yuehua Building told this story all day.
"Miss, now it's spread all over the outside, and they all say that the death of the third miss of the Mu family's mother and daughter is related to you, miss, and even the storyteller in that Yuehualou has changed one after another to talk about this matter." As soon as Qiu Xue came back from outside, she told the truth about the situation outside, "This Mu family just brought the body back, and before they could report it to the official, someone over there spread the word about this matter, and the young lady expected it to be good, and it was indeed someone who was manipulating this matter behind the scenes." β
Qin Niang's eyes stared at the chessboard, she didn't even lift her eyelids, she held a sunspot in her hand, and slowly landed it in one place, then she raised her head and looked at the burning Qiu Xue and said: "It seems that I guessed well, the mother and daughter really didn't die accidentally." β
Even the government never knew about it, and it was impossible for the Mu family to announce to the world that two people had died in their family, and in the final analysis, this matter also involved the Mu family's private interests, if it spread, it would be bad after all.
But before the Mu family took the initiative to report to the official to explain this matter, this matter was spread first.
Moreover, the more it is rumored, the more it is that she Yang Qinyan did something unsightly in the Mu family in Cheng'an, and the Mu family sent Mu Zhiqi's mother and daughter away in order to cover their faces, but Mu Zhiqi's mother and daughter must have known some terrible secrets, so they were killed.
Otherwise, if you are good at your own Zhuangzi, how can accidents be so easy to happen?
No one believed it.
"Miss, now it's crazy outside, especially the students of Guozijian, one by one they went to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to protest, asking for the arraignment of Miss and clarifying this matter, and the slave maid also heard that the killing class originally took the money and left the capital overnight, but there was a team leader who didn't know what was going on and came back again, and kept saying that he had seen the murder class master have a private meeting with a certain official lady, and this time he died suddenly, I am afraid that something will happen, and I asked Jingzhao Yin to interrogate him strictly."
Xue casually went out for a walk, and was shocked by the rumors in the capital.
"Is it really that lively out there?" Qiu Tao asked with a wink.
"It's not just lively, it's about to make a fuss, the slave and maid specially passed by in front of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and saw that the door was full of people, it was the sound of the Son of Heaven, it wouldn't be long before I thought about it, even the one in the palace had to know, that is, Lord Li wanted to fool this matter over, I'm afraid it won't be done." This matter has become a big problem, and it is impossible to hide from it.
After Qin Niang dropped a white child, she glanced at Qiu Xue again, and said with a smile: "Is it still rumored outside, Mrs. Jiang came to Gu Mansion that day and disappeared mysteriously, just because there was a little friction with me, and then, thinking of the incident in Cheng'an Houfu that day, it was said that Mrs. Jiang was also in Cheng'an Houfu at that time, maybe she knew what was going on, and she was also hacked by me?" β
Qiu Xue's eyes widened, nodded busily, and stretched out her thumb: "Miss is really smart, there are really people like this." β
Qin Niang sneered: "This kind of trick is enough to use it once, but some people just like to use it repeatedly, if Mrs. Jiang is not in the Jiang family at this time, I am afraid that someone will be found dead outside if she is not careful, and this account will naturally be counted on my head." β
Then Tang Wan was afraid that she couldn't wait to put all the sins in the world on her head, so that she could die as ugly as she could.
"Miss, you've already calculated it, so how are you going to fight back next?" Qiu Tao asked.
Since getting married, Qiu Tao has found out, and her young lady's brain is suddenly like a light, any difficulties can be easily resolved by her, and no one can let her young lady suffer.
Therefore, when Qiuxue hurriedly came back and said that the rumors outside had changed, she was really not worried at all.
On the contrary, she also wants to see the excitement, and wants to see how those who come to find death want to die.
"This matter is first and foremost related to the reputation of Cheng'an Houfu, so Cheng'an Hou will stand up first to settle this matter, and I don't have to worry about it for the time being." As she spoke, Qin Niang pinched another sunspot and put it on the chessboard.
It looks like the sky can't stop her from playing chess.
"But, Miss, there are also many people gathered in front of our house, one by one shouting at the door to let Miss go out and make it clear, otherwise, they will sit quietly at the door." Qiu Xue bit her lip, looked at her and said, "When the slaves and maids came back, they all came in over the wall, and they didn't dare to go out of the door at all, not only the gate was surrounded, but even the side door was full of people." β
As soon as this was mentioned, Qiu Xue was so angry.
Even if her young lady is really guilty, it will be up to the government to convict her, these students think they are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven with their lively voices, so their brains are hot, and they play the drama of forcing the palace.
Who is this threatening?
Who to scare?
"Steward Liu just opened the door to go out, but was surrounded by people outside, if it weren't for the fast movement of those palace guards in the house, those individuals would be eager to rush in, it's just too unreasonable, they are still literati who read books and know etiquette, how can they be so unreasonable?" Qiu Xue crossed her waist and said with a look of indignation.
While a few people were talking, they heard the doorman outside come in and report: "Young lady, someone is in the palace." β
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, Qiu Xue instantly bounced, and said nervously: "Miss, the movements in this palace are really fast."
It was only a long time before someone was sent.
Qin Niang threw down the chess pieces in her hand and instructed Qiu Tao: "Put away the chessboard for me, don't mess with the chess pieces on me, and wait for me to come back and continue playing." β
Qiu Tao answered and brought the chessboard back to the small study.
Qiu Xue took out Qin Niang's cloak and put it on for her.
Qin Niang leaned together and said to the porter, "Invite someone in." β
After a short time, the eunuch from the palace came in.
It was a little eunuch with a round face, and his slender eyes were full of essence, and as soon as he saw Qin Niang, he said in a sharp voice: "Young Madam Gu, Your Majesty specially ordered our family to pass the word, saying that it was to let Young Madam Gu enter the palace." β
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty let me enter the palace?" β
The little eunuch couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he just nodded and said, "Yes, Cheng Anhou is also here, so it's better for Mrs. Gu to hurry up." β
As soon as Qin Niang heard that Cheng Anhou was also there, she instantly understood.
Presumably Cheng Anhou hurriedly entered the palace and told His Majesty about the matter alone as soon as the matter came out, and since the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, naturally no one took her directly to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to open a trial.
"Father-in-law Lao is coming to pick me up." Qin Niang gathered the cloak on her body, "Then let's go." β
The little eunuch saw that she looked calm and calm, and it seemed that she had already been ready to go with him, and even the cloak had been put on in advance, and he was surprised, but his face was not obvious, he just led her out of the courtyard gate and got on the horse he rode out of the palace.
The Gu family's carriage had already been set up, and as soon as Qin Niang came out, she sat in it directly, and followed the little eunuch all the way out of the corner gate and drove towards the palace gate.
The students who were surrounding the Gu family saw that the door of the mansion was open and the carriage drove out, and at first there were people who surrounded them and wanted to stop them, but the little eunuch screamed at the top of his throat: "Our family has come to invite Young Lady Gu into the palace to talk on the order of the saint, and the idle people retreat!" β
As soon as those individuals heard that there was a holy order, they immediately stopped halfway in their steps, and could only get out of the way one by one, watching the carriage disappear at the end of their sight.
"You say, why did the Holy Lord want to announce that the young lady Gu entered the palace?"
"This matter is so big and has such a bad impact, it seems that Your Majesty can't sit back and ignore it, and will personally interrogate this matter."
"In this way, then I will wait at the gate of the palace, and see how the Holy Lord will deal with such a water-based Yang Hua and vicious woman."
"That's right, I'll wait over there, if Your Majesty wants to protect this woman, I will sit and die in front of the gate of that palace, I don't believe that the Holy One will ignore the protests of so many people."
"Let's go, hurry up and call the classmates next to you to go to the palace gate together, there are more people to be cautious."
β¦β¦
With a commotion in the crowd, those students one by one called for their friends and ran towards the palace gate.
When the crowd in front of Gu's house finally dispersed, a luxurious carriage appeared around the corner.
"Your Highness, those students are rushing in the direction of the palace gate." The coachman craned his neck to look at the vanishing crowd and called out to the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing a well-maintained face: "After watching the play here, let's go to the palace to see another play." β
The coachman answered, "Yes." β
