Chapter 52: The Death of Qian Wenwen
Father-in-law Liu naturally didn't dare to slack off, after all, this was Concubine Li's words, but he naturally didn't dare to ignore the prince of his family, so he looked at King Gui with a sad face, and when he saw King Gui nodding, Gonggong Liu turned around and ran out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was slightly awkward, and King Gui had a gloomy face, feeling that his face had been swept away.
Wang Chengen was better, chatting with Concubine Li without a match, and focused on the matter of Queen Zhou. Tian Ergeng on the side was like sitting on pins and needles, so he had to sit there and drink tea, this wait did not last long, but the result that Tian Ergeng wanted did not appear.
"The prince is not good!" Gonggong Liu ran in from the outside, his face changed greatly, and his mouth was screaming, and after coming in, he knelt directly on the ground and said loudly: "Lord, Lord, Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian, he, he, he is dead!" ”
"What did you say?" The faces of all the people present changed drastically, and at the same time they stood up and exclaimed.
Gonggong Liu was about to cry, and said with a crying voice: "The slave went to Mr. Qian and told him about the matter, he said that he was going to go back to prepare and change his clothes, and then he went back." But the slave and maid didn't see Lord Qian on the left and the right didn't see Lord Qian, so the slave and maid had to go in and take a look. ”
"When the slave went in, she found that Master Qian was dead, sitting on a chair behind the desk, dead. A suicide note was left on the table, and the slave brought it over! Father-in-law Liu trembled his hands and held up Qian Wenwen's suicide note.
Wang Chengen didn't care much at this time, so he stepped forward and took the suicide note directly, and read it himself.
Although this kind of behavior is too rude, Wang Chengen can't care about it, it is related to the assassination of Emperor Chongzhen, and King Gui has not been involved yet!
After reading the suicide note, Wang Chengen's face was dark and uncertain, and it was written very clearly, taking all the assassinations of Guozijian and Gongmen on his body, all of which were Qian Wenwen's own ideas and ideas. The purpose is naturally for King Gui, and he hopes that King Gui can become unified.
Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of uncles, but there are only King Hui and King Gui in the capital, once Emperor Chongzhen has an accident, he will inevitably choose one of the two, and will not let the vassal kings from all over the country enter Beijing, otherwise the world will be in chaos, so the above reasons are also credible.
But Wang Chengen didn't believe a word, but he didn't know what to say, he glanced at King Gui, then at Concubine Li, sighed and said: "Concubine, His Royal Highness King Gui, the slave maid is anxious for a while, please take a look!" As he spoke, he respectfully handed the suicide note to Concubine Li's hand.
After reading the suicide note, Concubine Li's face changed greatly, her body trembled, and she pointed at King Gui and said, "Look, see who you use?" ”
King Gui was a little unclear, so he took the suicide note and looked at it, and King Gui suddenly scolded Qian Wen in his heart, are you loyal to me? You're fucking pit me! What is this like? It's like abandoning the car to protect the handsome, and killing Qian Wen by himself.
Turning his head to look at his mother, and then at Wang Chengen and Tian Ergeng, King Gui felt that the way they looked at him was wrong. But King Gui also knew that he couldn't explain it, because the explanation was not clear, and the more he described it, the darker it became!
"Come here!" Concubine Li is very experienced, pulled her son, and said to Gonggong Liu on the side: "Let people prepare the car and enter the palace!" ”
"Mother, let's enter the palace?" King Gui didn't calm down for a while, what are you doing in the palace now?
Glancing at her son, Concubine Li found that her son was really lacking in political wisdom, but Wang Chengen and Tian Ergeng were here again, and she couldn't say it too clearly, so she had to reprimand angrily: "Of course you enter the palace, if something like this happens, why don't you hurry up and ask the emperor for guilt!" ”
"Yes, yes, enter the palace!" Father-in-law Liu on the side reacted, turned around and ran outside, beckoning people to prepare the carriage.
Concubine Li turned her gaze to Wang Chengen and Tian Ergeng, and said in a deep voice: "I will teach you the things here, Qian Wenwen's corpse is there, you can go to see it if you want to, take it away if you want to, whatever you want!" ”
Looking at the backs of Concubine Li and King Gui, Wang Chengen had a gloomy face and said to Tian Ergeng on the side: "Concubine Li and King Gui have entered the palace, our family can't stay here longer, our family has to go back to the palace to tell the emperor, Lord Tian, this place will be handed over to you!" ”
"Rest assured, investigating cases is our Jinyiwei's strength!" Tian Ergeng nodded, and prepared to take someone to see Qian Wenwen's body.
The people who should go are gone, Tian Ergeng led people to the east cross courtyard of the palace and directly found Qian Wenwen's room. The room was not chaotic, there were no obvious traces, and Qian Wenwen's body was behind the desk, with his back against a chair.
The lips were blue, there were blood stains on the nose and the corners of the eyes, and there was blood oozing from the corners of the mouth, and at a glance it was known that it was poisoning, and it was arsenic poisoning. Tian Ergeng took advantage of the autopsy to instruct the Jinyi guards on the side: "Let people check this money text, I need to know about his eight-generation ancestors and find his family as soon as possible, understand?" ”
"Yes, sir!" The subordinate nodded, and walked outside.
Tian Ergeng surrounded the scene of the crime, but his mind was not on it, Qian Wenwen was undoubtedly a suicide, but what was behind Qian Wenwen's suicide was very important, which side this Qian Wenwen was on.
King Gui's people? Dying in King Gui's mansion at this time doesn't look like it, but more like planting King Gui.
With King Gui's power and prestige, it is not a big problem to keep a money text, even if he wants to die, he does not have to die in King Gui's mansion. If a sentence of money text is not there, what can I do with Wang Chengen? Search the Prince's Mansion, no kidding.
But Qian Wenwen is dead, if he wants to frame King Gui and provoke the relationship between the prince and the emperor, it makes sense. Whose person is that money text? Why did he assassinate the emperor? Although he found the money text, Tian Ergeng felt that the case was even more foggy.
However, Tian Ergeng was very excited, because this proved that he was not far from the truth, and the last fog was the heaviest, and if he cleared the last fog, he would be able to see the sunny sky.
In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was eating kebabs, yes, kebabs, good lamb skewers, and of course, beef, as well as all kinds of skewers. The imperial kitchen on one side was busy roasting Emperor Chongzhen, a pure charcoal barbecue.
Emperor Chongzhen sat at the table, ready to try his beer, which was a way for Emperor Chongzhen to come up with to make money.
Barbecue is not, beer is, at this time, brewing must be allowed by the imperial court, and private brewing is not allowed. Emperor Chongzhen is going to launch a skewer with beer, and I believe he can make a lot of money. The main thing is how monotonous life must be without skewers and beer!
Seeing Wang Chengen coming, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and beckoned to him: "Come, old king, come and have a drink together!" ”
Wang Chengen looked confused, looked at Emperor Chongzhen's appearance, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, the emperor drank too much, right? Watching Emperor Chongzhen drink a large cup of yellow, bird-like things, Wang Chengen suddenly felt that his stomach was turned upside down.
His face was pale for a while, Wang Chengen forcibly suppressed the tumbling in his stomach, came to Emperor Chongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, something happened, Qian Wenwen is dead!" ”
"Who died?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled, glanced at Wang Chengen and said suspiciously: "Who is Qian Wenwen?" What does it have to do with me when he dies? I am the son of tomorrow, I am rich all over the world, whoever I let die, he will have to die, this has not let him die, why did he die? ”
Wang Chengen just wanted to say something, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen shake, he was about to fall down.
Hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Emperor Chongzhen: "What are you all doing to eat?" How did you make the emperor drink so much? A bunch of useless things, why don't you hurry up and help the emperor to the palace! After scolding the people around him, Wang Chengen led people to send Emperor Chongzhen back to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and waited for Emperor Chongzhen to lie down.
After finishing his work, Wang Chengen hurried to the harem again, and the emperor was now like this, so he could only go to the queen.
There is also a concubine and an imperial uncle in front of him pleading guilty, except for the queen, it is not appropriate for others to come forward!
After Queen Zhou got the news, she didn't sort out the situation for a while, and under Wang Chengen's repeated explanations, she figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was drunk at this time, Empress Zhou was also a little crying and laughing.
personally took Concubine Li to the harem, Queen Zhou accompanied Concubine Li to speak, and as for King Gui, she directly asked him to go back to the palace. As for worrying about King Gui's rebellion, Queen Zhou didn't take it to heart, and no one took it to heart, because rebellion requires military power.
Now the military power of Beijing City is firmly in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, and no one can move without the approval of Emperor Chongzhen.
In the city of Beijing, Guangyuan Park is also a homeland, with a hotel and casino in front and an inn in the back.
In the pavilion by the pond that entered the courtyard at the end, the White Lotus Holy Maiden was gently stroking the qin, without the slightest expression on her face. His mission to enter Beijing this time has almost been completed, although the assassination of Emperor Chongzhen is not satisfactory, but the matter of Fushou paste has been almost done.
"Holy Maiden, there's news!" A maid came over, bowed down and said, "It's about the case of the palace gate assassination, and the tail has been swept over there!" ”
The White Lotus Holy Maiden stood up, took the information from the maid's hand, glanced at it, and said with a sneer: "They really have a way, they died a money text, blamed King Gui for the matter, and watched the emperor and his uncle eat dog." ”
"Sister, is there any good news?" Ling'er jumped to the pavilion and said with a smile: "Is it possible for us to leave the capital, the capital is not fun at all, and I can be suffocated these days." Uncle Liang's side is also dangerous, let's hurry up! ”
Looking at Ling'er's cute appearance with a pout, the White Lotus Holy Maiden smiled slightly, and reached out to pinch Ling'er's face.
"If things go well, we will be able to leave Beijing City soon!" The White Lotus Holy Maiden said and handed the information in her hand to Ling'er, and said with a smile: "Take a look for yourself, this is good news, those people are not useless all the time!" ”
Ling'er glanced at it a few times, pouted and said, "A group of despicable villains, I really don't know why the Holy Sect wants to cooperate with them, bully men and women, and be rich and unkind, so they should all be killed!" ”
The White Lotus Holy Maiden smiled, didn't pay attention to what Ling'er said, and looked at the rippling blue pond, in a very good mood.
"Holy Maiden, something is wrong!" It's just that this good belief didn't last long, and was soon interrupted by a person's voice.
Ling'er and the White Lotus Holy Maiden turned their heads at the same time, and saw a woman in her thirties standing not far away, although she had a black veil on her face, she could still see that this was a very beautiful woman. It's just that she was a little out of breath at this time, obviously walking in a hurry.
"Aunt Zhou?" The White Lotus Holy Maiden was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Drink saliva and speak slowly!" As he spoke, he picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Aunt Zhou.
After taking a sip of the water cup, Aunt Zhou said: "Our warehouse was served by the government, it was the hand of Jinyi Wei, all the stores selling Fushou paste were sealed, the whereabouts of the shopkeeper and the guy are unknown, and they may have been arrested!" ”
"What?" The White Lotus Holy Maiden was shocked and said in disbelief: "How could this be, why didn't there be any news beforehand?" ”
"I don't know what the situation is for the time being, Hall Master Wu has also been arrested!" Aunt Zhou said in a heavy voice: "Some brothers saw it, although the arrester was not wearing an official uniform, he could also see that it was a person in an official uniform, and they moved quickly." ”
Sitting on the stool in despair, the White Lotus Holy Maiden's expression was a little trance, how could this be? Why is it like this?
I came to the capital with two missions, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Chongzhen and open up the sales channel of Fushou ointment.
Although the assassination of the emperor failed, it was reasonable, after all, how could the emperor be so easy to assassinate? My Fushou paste has been doing well, and the market has also opened, but how could he suffer such a big blow at this time?
"Why were you caught? Could it be that Jinyiwei found out about us? Ling'er on the side bit her lip and whispered.
Aunt Zhou shook her head and sighed a little helplessly: "It's not clear for the time being, the news is too tightly blocked, and our internal line hasn't sent the news out, the only thing we can do now is to wait and see what is going on!" ”
"Wait?" The White Lotus Holy Goddess was gloomy, and there was really no good way for the time being, so she thought about it and said, "Send them a letter and let them help check it!" ”
"Them?" Aunt Zhou smiled mockingly: "They have coveted our Fushou paste for too long, this time I'm afraid they will fall into the well and help us, I'm afraid it's no fun!" ”
The White Lotus Holy Goddess was gloomy, he knew that what Aunt Zhou said was right, he thought about it and said: "Since this is the case, then let's change the place, it's not safe here, tell all the brothers in the capital, immediately change the hiding place, and hide first!"
