Chapter 438: Self-Severed Arm
Needless to say, those utensils were taken from the boxes of the Yang family, and the people of the pro-guard team knew it at a glance, and Song Xi couldn't say it clearly, so he could only carry the thorn strip on his back to shout grievances.
"He is really tenacious, he has to run to the front of the palace to cry out for injustice when he is dirty." Qin Niang pulled the corners of her lips, expressing her incomparable convincing.
Gu Chen said it well, even if the emperor was suspicious of him, he would have to struggle a little more and create the image of the idle and wasted King of Cheshire.
"The more he has to get to this time, the more he must stabilize His Majesty, otherwise, how can he find an opportunity?" Gu Chen pursed his lips and showed an unfathomable smile, "However, I gave His Majesty some eye medicine before leaving the palace, I believe that Your Majesty is a smart person, and he will not demolish him at this time." β
Let him live in peace for a few more days.
"I went to the theater today to listen to the play, and I met Miss Wen, she actually negotiated terms with me, and wanted to marry my eldest brother as a side room, just rely on her, and she is also worthy?" As soon as Qin Niang mentioned this, she couldn't help but spew out a breath of cold air from her nostrils.
Wen Jingshu's woman is really as annoying as in her previous life, always thinking about things that don't belong to her.
Her eldest brother is the best big brother in the world, he deserves the best woman in the world, Wen Jingshu is not worthy of lifting his shoes!
"What conditions does she want to negotiate with you?" Gu Chen asked.
She said that she had evidence that Yan Jian had deducted the salaries of border soldiers over the years. Qin Niang said lightly, "However, I didn't pay attention to her, now that Yan Jian is in the hands of the King of Zhenbei, as long as the news is revealed to the King of Zhenbei, I think, with Yan Jian's soft bones and the wind blows on both sides, his crime will be tried clearly and cleanly in three days, where can I use her Wen Jingshu to talk to me about the deal!" β
This Wen Jingshu is really whimsical, does she think that she Yang Qinyan is as brainless as her? Can't even think of that?
"Presumably she also jumped off the wall in a hurry before she remembered to run and threaten you." Gu Chen squinted his eyes and said, "It's just a concubine, it seems that I have to say hello to Rong Guohou, and let them quickly admit people into the door, so as not to run outside all day long and make others unhappy." β
She shouldn't have come to provoke Qin Niang, if she stayed in the mansion well, Rong Guohou didn't really want to let her in immediately, wait for a year or two, and when everyone forgot what she had done before, maybe things would take a turn for the better.
However, since she came to find death, she couldn't blame him.
The next day, Rong Guohou ordered someone to carry a sedan chair and directly carried Wen Jingshu into Rongwei's room.
However, Qin Niang is not very interested in those things, as long as the Rong family detains this person in the backyard in the future and does not come out to jump around, otherwise, she doesn't mind letting her pay for the hardships.
Palace.
As Gu Chen expected, after Song Xi went to the palace to cry with Jing Tiao on his back, the emperor seemed to believe his words: "This Yan Jian is really hateful, I must let the King of Zhenbei interrogate him well to see if he has done anything else besides framing others." β
After Song Xi finished complaining about his grievances with a handful of snot and tears, he glanced at the emperor carefully and said, "Uncle Huang, my nephew doesn't know whether to say something or not. β
The emperor glanced at him and spat out a single word: "Say." β
Song Xi stumbled and said: "Before, my nephew and the Yan family held a hairpin banquet in the mansion, and my nephew accidentally overheard, Yan Jian seems to have been deducting the military salary of the border pass, and the reason why no one has ever gone to Beijing for so many years is because those people are often intercepted and killed halfway before they arrive in the capital." β
When the emperor heard this, he stood up suddenly, and his voice was raised several times: "What did you say? Words? β
Song Xise shrank for a moment, pretending to be frightened and continued: "My nephew also accidentally overheard, at that time, Yan Jian was still the leader of the household department, and all the accounts were controlled by him, he said that black is black, and he said that white is white, so even Cheng Anhou personally went to the southwest border pass, but he couldn't find out why, and at that time, he was still the prince's future father-in-law......"
In the end, Song Xi's voice was completely shortened, but the emperor's face changed and changed, until it was as black as the bottom of a pot at the end.
It turned out that Song Huai had been protecting him, no wonder this matter was so big at the time, and in the end nothing was found out, thinking about it, if it wasn't for Yan Jian to make money for him, where would he get the money to raise so many private soldiers.
Suddenly, the emperor seemed to have figured out a lot of things, it turned out that they had colluded together early in the morning, and even he, the emperor, had been deceived by them.
That's great!
"Uncle Huang, you calm your anger first, and your anger hurts your body, but fortunately, now that Yan Jian has been imprisoned, let Zhenbei Yan interrogate him well, and see what other unseemly things he has done in addition to framing Zhongliang, this person is really too insidious, if you don't check it well, if you don't protect it, he will be hollowed out." Song Xi persuaded with a worried look about the country and the people.
"Yes, let the king of Zhenbei investigate." King Zhenbei is a character born and died on the battlefield, he best understands the feelings of those soldiers at the border pass who are desperate on the battlefield, if he knows that they are fighting at the border pass, there are moths like Yan Jian in the court who are pulling their hind legs, he is afraid that he will be eager to scratch him.
"Gonggong Pei, bring Guo Zheng into the palace." The emperor turned his head to look at Pei Gong on the side.
Grandpa Pei answered and trotted out. Love Me eBook
Song Xi saw that the goal of transferring the target was achieved, and he quickly said goodbye and left.
After leaving the door of the imperial study, where did he still have the pitiful appearance of being half timid and cowardly in front of the emperor on his face?
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, anyway, Yan Jian didn't really want to take refuge in him, he pushed him out first, so that the emperor's attention would not always be on him.
Thinking like this, Song Xi strode towards the palace gate in a happy mood.
In the next half month, Song Xi was the same as before, except for eating, drinking, and having fun, there was no other action, if Gu Chen hadn't been sending people to keep an eye on his progress in building firearms, I am afraid that he would have to believe that he was really just a waste Cheshire King.
Fang Yuanyuan finally came back from outside the city, she held a small banquet in the mansion, invited a few sisters who knew each other on weekdays to gather in the mansion together, and shared the new tea she brought back from other villages with the sisters by the way.
It's just that she didn't expect that it was obviously a small banquet for their little sisters, and Song Ru, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, came uninvited.
After seeing each other, Fang Yuanyuan said: "The fourth princess is really well-informed, my post has just been sent, and you will know about it." β
Song Ru didn't mind her ridicule, and said generously: "I'm bored in the palace, and I want to come out to play with you, I heard that my imperial brother fought with the Xishu army led by King Ling at the border pass, my mother ordered me to go out of the palace to the temple to ask for peace for him, and I came back early, so I came over, Miss Fang, don't blame me for not being invited." β
Where does Fang Yuanyuan dare? Don't have a head?
It's just that a princess seems to have no friends, and she always likes to mix with their gang, which makes them very sad.
After all, they are princesses, and they don't dare to make some excessive jokes with princesses even if they eat leopard guts.
"The fourth princess doesn't think we're boring." Fang Yanyan was bold, she held Qin Niang and said, "Sister Qin, I haven't been there for you to come to the house several times, and today I finally asked my master for leave in advance, otherwise, I won't be able to see you again." β
"It's as if you really go to the master every day to report honestly." Mu Zhixin disdainfully debunked her, "Doesn't Ah Hao always sneak out with you to play?" β
Speaking of the Fang family's sisters and brothers, those masters all had a headache to death, they didn't like to work hard, they also liked to skip class, they didn't learn a few serious things, but they were very proficient in crooked ways.
"Ah Yuan, did your aunt come back to the house to persuade your father to find a good family for you?" Qin Niang suddenly gossiped about the follow-up of this incident.
Fang Yuanyuan's face was unnatural and said: "I haven't been in the capital for half a month, and I don't know very well, it's just that she didn't come today, I heard that my uncle is busy reviewing the affairs of the family these days, so I guess my aunt can't take care of me." β
In this way, she can delay for a few days, otherwise she will have to find an excuse to go out of the city to take refuge.
It's hard to be a human being!
She has been married once, why can't she go back to her parents' house to be an old aunt?
"I heard that the Li family is also looking for a girl from a good family, and wants to marry Li Yifan to take care of the inner house." Song Ru also followed the gossip, "Originally, the palace didn't know, but Lord Li should be afraid that the previous incident with the Fang family would make those noble families in Beijing have thoughts about their Li family, and they refused to marry their daughter into the Li family, so they went to their father to ask for marriage." β
"What? Giving and marrying? Fang Yuanyuan's mouth opened wide in surprise.
The rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
This Li Mu is really a character, he actually dared to enter the palace to find the emperor to give him a marriage, what a big face he has!
If you can get the emperor's marriage in this world, you have to make a lot of contribution to the imperial court!
This Li Mu is just a three-grade parent official in the capital, and he didn't do any earth-shaking cases or make any earth-shattering contributions, he actually dared to go to the palace to ask for marriage.
Really, dare to do it!
"Heβwhose daughter did he fall in love with?" Fang Yuanyuan panicked in his heart, for fear that Li Mu's brain would twitch, and he went to tell the emperor that his daughter-in-law was still the original match, and asked to give her and Li Yifan a new marriage.
When the time comes, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opens, will she refuse to marry? Or is it a refusal to marry?
"I just listened to it, and my father didn't seem to agree immediately, Lord Li seems to have expressed a certain determination with my father, it depends on what my father thinks." Song Ru said, took a sip of hot tea, and smacked his tongue, "However, I guess my father is not so nosy, even if he has to agree to this matter, it will not be so refreshing." β
"In other words, Li Mu put forward conditions that were quite exciting to His Majesty, so His Majesty did not refuse him at all." Qin Niang said.
