Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cihang Jingzhai
Shangyuan Palace.
Yingying Yanyan, a group of beautiful little palace maids walked around, looking much more comfortable than a group of eunuchs around Wang Mang, and even Wang Mang saw the "native product" that Meng Yijin dedicated to him last time, the sister paper with exotic colors, and cast a resentful look at him.
Although Wang Mang felt that it was a pity that he had not used this "native product", Wang Mang was very conscious, he knew that Shangyuan Palace would not pull these beautiful girl papers away from him for no reason, which was not good for Shangyuan Palace.
Wang Mang compares his heart to his heart and empathizes, if he is the queen mother, there is no doubt that an emperor who is obsessed with beauty is more in line with the interests of the queen mother.
But the queen mother did not let the emperor indulge in beauty, but returned to the court and kept the emperor away from beauty, which is a bit unpredictable, it is simply a "mother" behavior.
Of course, Wang Mang will not thank Shangguan Wan'er, who doesn't like to live in a beautiful environment.
Re-entering Shangyuan Palace, Wang Mang did not receive any obstacles, almost when Wang Mang arrived at Shangyuan Palace, Bao Xi appeared quietly at the door, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
Lin Guodong had already seen Bao Xi in Taipingguan, and when he saw Bao Xi coming to pick him up in person, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er was still the same as the last time she saw Wang Mang, sitting on the couch, her expression seemed to be smiling, her face seemed to be expressionless but seemed to have expressions, and the whole person was like a quiet picture of a landscape beauty.
Although I have seen Shangguan Wan'er for a long time, and even Shangguan Wan'er's face has long been deeply engraved in Wang Mang's mind, but goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er, Wang Mang is still amazed by the miracle of God's creation, such a beautiful woman is like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world, what kind of family and what kind of means can give birth to such a woman.
"The son has seen the queen mother. ”
"The minister has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"
Wang Mang and Lin Guodong saluted Shangguan Wan'er successively, Shangguan Wan'er waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, Wang Mang sat down in front of the Queen Mother with a big grin, Lin Guodong was much more restrained, but he knew the means of the woman in front of him who didn't seem to eat fireworks in the world.
"Today, the sons came to find the queen mother because they wanted to ask the queen mother for something. After Wang Mang sat down, he said directly, in Wang Mang's opinion, there is no need to beat around the bush to talk to someone like Shangguan Wan'er, first, it is not necessary, and second, it is not necessary to turn around.
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wang Mang, there was no surprise on her face, as if she had already known Wang Mang's intentions.
"Lin Guodong, tell the Queen Mother about the situation. Wang Mang looked at Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong hurriedly stood up, bowed to Shangguan Wan'er and said: "The Empress Dowager Qiqi, the minister's Jing Zhaoyin, is a female corpse found by the Chang'an County Ya some time ago, this female corpse has not been claimed so far, and I don't know the name and surname, Chang'an is the place where the Son of Heaven and the nobles live, such a bad case occurred, the minister was deeply shocked, and reported to His Majesty overnight for a thorough investigation, and the minister found ...... during the investigation."
Then, Lin Guodong reported the details of the case of the nameless female corpse of the Taiping Temple one by one, and described the relevant information seized one by one, especially the point that this female corpse is related to the Taiping Temple, and even related to the palace, mainly the Shangyuan Palace.
Under normal circumstances, when local officials investigate and handle cases, once they involve the palace, most of the time they will settle the matter and deal with it as soon as possible with the attitude of turning the big matter into a small one and turning the small one into a small matter.
Lin Guodong originally had plans in this regard, but he didn't expect that after he reported to the emperor, the emperor didn't hesitate to let him investigate thoroughly, and even followed the Yuan Palace to find out, and the Shangyuan Palace also looked like a thorough investigation.
Although Lin Guodong knew that it was not good for him to report the case like this, he could only grit his teeth and tell the case in detail in front of the two supreme masters of the Great Qin State.
"Is that all?" Shangguan Wan'er waited for Lin Guodong to finish speaking, and opened her mouth lightly, but if she looked closely, a trace of surprise flashed in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes.
"That's all. Lin Guodong looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said: "Queen Mother, according to the experience of the ministers, there are eight layers of possibility that this matter is related to the Taiping Temple. ”
"Well, you're right, the mourners know about this. Shangguan Wan'er suddenly chuckled, and then suddenly the atmosphere in the entire room seemed to change from depressed to joyful in an instant.
Shangguan Wan'er's words made Wang Mang and Lin Guodong's expressions change, and they both looked at Shangguan Wan'er with shocked faces, Wang Mang didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to play cards according to common sense at all, and directly admitted the matter.
What does it mean for the mourners to know?
This shows that Shangguan Wan'er had known about this matter for a long time and knew who the female corpse was, otherwise she would never have said that.
Seeing Wang Mang looking at him in surprise, Shangguan Wan'er groaned for a while, looked at Wang Mang and Lin Guodong and said: "The mourning family knows what the emperor wants to say when he comes to the mourning family today, and the mourning family knows about the nameless female corpse, this matter, the emperor should not investigate it anymore, but Lin Guodong, you can find this, your ability is really good." ”
Wang Mang stood up at that time, frowned, and said, "Queen Mother, that's a human life, is it just that?"
Wang Mang hates the powerful to oppress the people the most in his life, in Wang Mang's opinion, as a powerful person, he has occupied the top power and wealth in the world, and then to bully the ordinary people, it is simply better than a pig and a dog.
So seeing that Shangguan Wan'er gave up such an understatement to a human life, Wang Mang was angry at that time, he didn't care who Shangguan Wan'er was and how beautiful she looked.
Lin Guodong stood aside, looking embarrassed, he didn't dare to open his mouth to involve the affairs of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and even gave Lin Guodong another choice, Lin Guodong would not even follow Wang Mang to Shangyuan Palace at all.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wang Mang, who was a little angry, and didn't care about Wang Mang's attitude, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, do you know the identity of that nameless woman?"
"I don't know, I just know it's a human life. Wang Mang said loudly: "I only know that I am the emperor of Qin, and I will never allow my people to be killed for no reason!"
"But that's not the people of Great Qin. Bao Xi suddenly spoke coldly.
"Then you can't kill people casually in the capital. Wang Mang looked at Bao Xi coldly, according to Lin Guodong's inference, the murderer took Bao Xi as the first suspect.
Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her hand to stop Bao Xi, and did not answer Wang Mang's question, but suddenly asked, "Does Your Majesty know about Cihang Jingzhai?"
Cihang Jingzhai?
Lin Guodong gasped, while Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a puzzled expression.
Cihang Jingzhai Wang Mang has the impression that this is a school that often appears in some martial arts fantasy film and television dramas in later generations, but now it suddenly comes out of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth, Wang Mang feels very disobedient, because in Wang Mang's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er and Wanwan are very similar, and Wanwan is Cihang Jingzhai's rival.
"I have vaguely heard of Cihang Jingzhai, I don't know what the Queen Mother is doing when she suddenly mentions this?" Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er and raised his eyebrows.
"The real name of the nameless female corpse is Fan Qingming, and she is a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai. Shangguan Wan'er said lightly.
