Chapter 313: Flowers Are Poisonous
Chen Yikang didn't let Kang Yan wait too long, and came over soon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What's going on?" He asked Kang Yan in a hurry.
Today is the first day of the new year, and there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings, Chen San quietly came to look for him, Chen Yikang was startled, thinking that something had happened to Kang Yan's side, so he hurriedly found an excuse to go out.
Kang Yeon briefly explained the matter.
"I don't feel at ease with other people going to this matter, so I can only entrust it to my sixth cousin, please take the time to run," Kang Yan said about his worries, "......... It's really Tongzhou, and the Zhuangzi I bought before is near there, and I'm afraid that if something happens, we will be caught off guard. ”
Chen Yikang's heart was hot, and when he heard Kang Yan's words mean that the person he trusted the most in the capital was himself, his ears couldn't help but be hot, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Kang Yan didn't notice his abnormality, she was full of Tongzhou's affairs.
The Zhuangzi in Tongzhou was purchased for Qi Chenjing before they entered Beijing, but there was nothing in it, mainly because she hid a lot of food somewhere, if it was discovered by someone with a heart, or destroyed, it would be a little troublesome.
"The steward of Tongzhou Zhuangzi is called Song Haizhen, he is cautious and trustworthy, and his cousin can secretly contact him after he passes." Kang Yeon told worriedly.
Speaking of Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, Kang Yan has never been there since he purchased it.
At the beginning, Qi Chenjing left 20,000 taels of silver tickets for her and asked her to secretly buy an industry, Kang Yan gave 10,000 taels to Qiao Danhua, and secretly bought two shops and a house in the capital, and the other 10,000 taels were all given to Song Haizhen, so that he took the whole family to Tongzhou, where he bought a large number of fertile land and grain.
She can trust Song Haizhen, otherwise she would not have entrusted him with such a major matter.
But after all, Lao Song was born as a businessman, and although people who are used to business react very quickly, they have not experienced the battle between the DPRK and China, and there is really something dirty in secret, Kang Yan is afraid that Song Haizhen will not be able to estimate or bear it.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Tongzhou tonight." Seeing Kang Yan frowning, Chen Yikang blurted out.
Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and he will be able to arrive tomorrow morning.
After discussing the situation that might be encountered, Chen Yikang and Lao Wang left in a hurry.
Kang Yeon alone did not have the good mood she had before.
I don't know why, but she always felt in her heart that something was going to happen soon.
Her heart was always a little worried.
Mama Zhang hugged Brother Tan to feed him, this kid is a monster, when she was talking to Lao Wang just now, let Mama Zhang hug him and he didn't cry, now he hugged it back, when he saw Kang Yan, he pouted, as if he had been wronged.
After feeding Brother Tan, Su Yuhuan came back alone, "......... Jiu Ye still has some entertainment outside, so I'll come back to accompany my sister. ”
The two of them were talking with each other.
Su Yuhuan could see that she had something on her mind, but Kang Yan didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask directly, so she picked up something that Kang Yan might be interested in and told her.
"A year ago, the grandmother of the Cheng family also asked the big girl around her to come to me and sent some things, saying that if we sent things to the imperial tomb that day, they would give it to my sister, saying that the uncle of the Cheng family had found an errand to be released, and they were going to go to work after the Midyear Festival." Su Yuhuan remembered the events of the previous year, knew that Jordan Hua and Kang Yan were good friends, and hurriedly said it again.
“……… There have been a lot of things in the past few days, and I forgot about it, and I sent those things to my sister when I went back, and I saw that most of them were things that the Cheng family's grandmother gave to Brother Tan. ”
Thinking of Jordan Hua, since she went to the imperial tomb, the two of them even broke off their letters, and they don't know how she is doing.
"She's doing well, where did Cheng Min go away?"
Su Yuhuan thought for a while and replied: "I heard that the county order of Luquan County was released, and I will go to the post after the fifteenth day of the first month." ”
Luquan County belongs to Jizhou Prefecture, in the southernmost part of Jizhou Prefecture, I heard that there are many mountains, Lingyan Hidden Cave is made from nature, the scenery is beautiful, the folk customs are also good, it is a good place.
Danhua can take office with Cheng Minyuan, and it is a good thing to stay away from the rights and wrongs of the capital.
Kang Yan was sincerely happy for Jordan Hua and missed her a little.
It's a pity that she can't communicate with Jordan Hua now, and she can't meet each other.
"I'll prepare some things when I go back, and you help me give them to her, which is considered as my practice for their couple." Kang Yan told Su Yuhuan.
After half a day of chatting, coupled with Brother Tan by her side, Kang Yan's uneasiness finally dissipated.
Let's wait for the sixth cousin to come back from Tongzhou.
Kang Yan didn't expect that before Chen Yikang came back from Tongzhou, a big event happened in the capital.
The queen mother stopped for seven days, and on the fourth day of the new year, she was buried with the queen's etiquette.
The ministers and women of the fourth rank and above in the capital all gave the funeral to the queen, but after the funeral, many people fainted on the way back to the city.
There were men, women, and children who fainted.
The emperor even vomited a mouthful of blood.
All the doctors in the hospital were dispatched to diagnose the patient, but they came to the conclusion that they had been poisoned.
The emperor was furious and ordered the imperial physicians to trace the source of the poison," ...... Such a large-scale poisoning is simply condemnable, and using such despicable means to deal with the important ministers and women in the capital, and even me, is obviously a rebellion against medicine. ”
"Find out the mastermind behind the scenes, I will not spare it!"
All the imperial physicians spent half a day checking the ministers who had entered the palace and wept spirits, and all the items that the women had touched were found nothing, and finally, the imperial physician Wang pointed out that the aroma of the crane orchid placed around the queen's mourning hall and the coffin was different.
The emperor ordered all the imperial doctors to investigate strictly, and came to the conclusion that the crane wanglan at the queen's funeral was all raised with a peculiar medicine, which could exude a more fragrant aroma than usual, and after a long time, it could make people dizzy, delirious, and even killed if it was serious.
The whole court is in an uproar!
He Wanglan won the Oiran ranking at the Flower Fighting Festival four years ago, and won the Oiran again at the Flower Fighting Festival a year ago.
As the leader of the flowers, the crane wanglan naturally has to be used as a tribute to the masters in the palace.
Naturally, this kind of flower is indispensable in the queen's mourning hall.
After finding out that Hewanglan was the culprit, and I didn't know that the minister had a heartfelt reminder, many important ministers of the court thought of another kind of flower they placed at home: a pinguan.
Yipinguan is the second place in the Douhua Club a year ago, and as the flower of the Douhua Club, it has always been a commonly used flower in the homes of the adults above the third rank in the court.
Some doctors have found that the fragrance of the crown placed in the homes of many ministers is also poisonous.
For a while, everyone in the court and China had a feeling of talking about the change of color.
As the Oiran and Flower Zun of the Douhua Society, Hewanglan and Yipinguan are carefully cultivated by the Kang family, so basically more than sixty percent of the beams are from the Kang family.
As for the crane wanglan in the palace, all of them were paid tribute by the Kang family.
Now that the flowers are poisonous, the Kang family, who pays tribute to flowers and plants, has naturally become ill-intentioned and pointed out by everyone.
The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered Kang Shaofan, the steward of the Kang family who paid tribute to Hewanglan, to be arrested and imprisoned, and ordered the Kang family's Tianxiangyuan and Bibo Hutong mansions in the capital to be sealed.
Then he sent the Praetorian Guards to surround the Ningguo Mansion.
It is said that after Kang Shaofan was imprisoned, some subordinates and housekeepers of the Kang family accused Kang Shaofan of conspiring with the Ningguo Mansion and had been secretly feeding flowers with poison, waiting for the opportunity to poison the emperor and the ministers of the court, in order to clear the way for King An.
As soon as such a confession came out, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers of the DPRK and China.
Daliang people are still flowers, flowers and plants are a must-have decoration in the home, feeding flowers and plants with poison, using the fragrance of flowers and plants to poison the important ministers of the court, this kind of ruthlessness is simply outrageous.
The ministers knelt outside the palace gate and begged the emperor to dispose of King An.
The emperor then sent the Praetorian Guards to the imperial tomb overnight, and ordered King An to be arrested and returned to Beijing to await trial.
It all happened half a day after the queen's funeral.
It was so fast that even the Chen family of the Ningguo Mansion didn't react.
When Kang Yan learned the news, she and Su Yuhuan were hugging Brother Tan and teasing, but Chen San was in a hurry, and rushed in with a pale face.
Knowing what happened, Kang Yan and Su Yuhuan's faces turned pale.
Su Yuhuan's first reaction was to jump up and rush out.
"Where are you going?" Kang Yeon reacted very quickly and grabbed her.
Su Yuhuan's eyes were blank, and he replied unconsciously: "I want to go back to see the Ninth Master, I want to go home." ”
Yes, she wants to go back to her and Jiu Ye's home.
"Didn't you hear that? Where has Bibo Hutong been sealed, where can you go back, as soon as you appear on the street now, I guarantee that you will soon go to prison to accompany the ninth brother. ”
Because of Su Yuhuan's abnormality, Kang Yan quickly calmed down.
Although his face was still a little pale, his eyebrows and eyes were firm, "Don't say that you will go to the prison to accompany the ninth brother!" ”
Commanding Mama Zhang to hug Brother Tan down, Kang Yan interrupted her eyes with a cold voice, and almost blurted out Su Yuhuan who was going to accompany Kang Shaofan.
"Yu Huan, I need your help, if you also go in, how can you save the ninth brother out." She held Su Yuhuan's shoulder, pressed her to the chair, and said solemnly.
Kang Yan's hand was so tight that Su Yuhuan felt a little pain in her shoulder.
The pain brought her to her senses a little.
Yes, she can't be impulsive, Kang Shaofan is still in prison waiting for her to save her.
She raised her head, her eyes looked directly at Kang Yan, and her eyes slowly became firm, "Well, I know, I listen to my sister." ”
Kang Yeon let go of her and began to ponder what was in front of her.
It happened suddenly, and she was a little flustered when she heard the news.
"Your Majesty, this is a preemptive strike, and he caught us off guard." Kang Yan sat down slowly, her hands clenched into fists, and she couldn't help but slam it the table.
Su Yuhuan sat up straight, "Sister means that this matter is the emperor's ......."
Kang Yan sneered, "There shouldn't be anyone else besides him, it's a self-written and self-acted play!" ”
The whole incident went from the discovery that someone was poisoned, to the fact that a doctor pointed out that Hewanglan was poisonous, and then someone proposed to check the crown of a product in his home, and it was also found to be poisonous, which naturally involved the Kang family.
After arresting the ninth brother again, there will be the so-called steward of the Kang family, and the Chen family and Qi Chenjing of the Ningguo Mansion will be involved, and the emperor will have a legitimate reason to arrest Qi Chenjing and return to Beijing.
This whole process couldn't be smoother, all the spearheads were pointed at Qi Chenjing, if it wasn't arranged by someone, Kang Yan would not have believed it.
"I had long guessed that they would make a move, but I didn't expect that they would start with our Kang family." Kang Yeon muttered to herself with some sneer.
Since they arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum, in fact, the capital has secretly moved their hands and feet twice, once when Qi Chenjing was injured in a fall, and again when she gave birth, she was drugged.
It was probably because of the drug this time, so that both of them knew that they could no longer tolerate each other, so Qi Chenjing secretly sent their mother and son away first, so that he would have no worries.
The couple had guessed a lot of plans, thinking that the palace might deal with them, assassination, poisoning, planting, etc., but they all put these targets on Qi Chenjing, or Brother Tan, after all, their father and son are the ones who threaten the emperor and the throne.
However, they did not expect that they would choose to start with the Kang family and start with the flowers that the Kang family paid tribute to.
This really caught Kang Yeon by surprise.
Her mind was quickly calculating what to do with the situation in front of her.
"Poisoning the families of so many ministers, this is clearly making us speechless." Su Yuhuan's eyes were red with hatred.
Most of the Kang family's business is now managed by her and Kang Shaofan, and she has also learned a lot of skills in raising flowers.
"Since ancient times, flowers and plants have not exuded fragrance, and now it is said that the fragrance of the flowers and plants we pay tribute is poisonous, and the fragrance is illusory, where can we prove that it is non-toxic."
That's why I said that the emperor's move is really ruthless.
Kang Yan sighed in her heart, and had an idea in her heart.
"Yu Huan, I'll find someone to escort you to the Pingbei Hou Mansion quietly, you go and ask the Hou Ye to let him find a way to dredge the people in the prison first, and don't let the ninth brother be tortured and suffer."
The current Pingbei Hou is Su Yuhuan's father, and being a father-in-law will not arouse too many suspicions for his son-in-law.
"Let Master Hou only concentrate on the ninth brother, don't suffer hardships, and don't say anything else about the wrongs of our Kang family."
Su Yuhuan wiped her eyes and nodded, understanding what Kang Yan meant.
Catching Kang Shaofan is just an introduction, what those people really want to deal with is Qi Chenjing, so it is useless to say that the Kang family is wronged now, it is better to only fight Kang Shaofan himself.
"Chen San, find a way to use the fastest way to pass the news of the capital to the prince, and ask the prince not to follow the Praetorian Guards into Beijing." Kang Yan told Chen San.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to find a way to inform Qi Chenjing first.
The emperor asked the Praetorian Guards to arrest him, it was by no means as simple as just arresting him, there must be a back move, as for what the back move was, Kang Yan didn't have time to think about it now.
However, with Qi Chenjing's intelligence, he must be able to realize the problem.
"Also, go find Ren Shinian and ask him to take two good men to find a way to sneak into the Ningguo Mansion and find a way to meet his grandmother."
The Chen family is surrounded, she needs to know whether her grandmother, uncles, and aunts are okay, and some ideas need to be communicated with her grandmother.
The Ningguo Mansion is now surrounded by water, and the most likely person to enter is Ren Shinian.
"Let Ren Shinian see me later." Kang Yan told Chen San.
In my heart, I thought of Chen Yikang, fortunately, he was not in Chen's house when the Praetorian Guards besieged the mansion, but Tongzhou was only a day's distance from the capital, and it stands to reason that the sixth cousin should have come back yesterday.
But so far, Chen Yikang has not returned. (To be continued.) )
