Chapter 282: The Guilty Scapegoat
"You dare to quibble!" Leng Yi began to put her in half of the Tiger Mountain again. Originally, the front arm had been almost eaten by the tiger. The tiger could no longer eat the meat above his arm, and he was all looking down. This went down, and it went down a little more. The tiger immediately went up, and bit off another piece of Xue'e's arm, which had been bitten off half of it!
Xue'e didn't scream immediately, the bloodshed had already made her appear to be prostrate, and she knew that if she continued like this, she would definitely die here. She said with all her might: "The slave is recruited, the slave is recruited!" ”
Leng Yi stopped putting her body down: "Say it!" Tell me how you used the method of feeding the tiger to domesticate the wild surname of the tiger, so as to achieve the purpose of murdering the flower stamen, in detail! ”
"Yes......" Xue'e said in a weak voice: "It's Niangniang's idea, she knows that Hua Rui Niangniang will come to Tiger Mountain, and only Hua Rui Niangniang will enter Tiger Mountain to play with the tiger." So let me call the palace maid, and the two of us will throw the palace maid into the tiger mountain and let the tiger eat it. Use this method to motivate the wild surname of the tiger. When the flower lady enters the tiger mountain, the tiger will eat her ......, and that's the way it is. ”
"Why did you kill Blossom Niangniang? What kind of hatred does she have with the flower lady? ”
She ...... She ......"
Leng Yi snorted and said, "Don't expect to shirk responsibility to help you!" You must be jealous of Lady Hua Rui's exclusive favor of Emperor Taizu, and she has always held a grudge against her, wanting to kill Hua Rui Niangniang to take revenge, so you have set this poisonous plan, right? ”
"Yes, yes...... our mother is jealous that Hua Rui Niangniang was favored by Emperor Taizu alone, so she holds a grudge. That's why he did this. - Big man, spare your life! This is also the mother's idea, and it has nothing to do with the slave maid......"
"Good! Wait a minute, the official will ask the scribe to come, and you will repeat all the things you just confessed and write them down, and this will be regarded as your meritorious service. Do you understand? ”
"I understand...... thank you for the grace of the eldest lord for sparing his life...... the slave maid will tie the grass ring in the next life to repay the kindness of the eldest master......"
When she heard that there was hope for her life, she was very grateful in her heart, so she chattered and kept talking, thanking Leng Yi for her life. After talking for a long time, I didn't hear Leng Yi answer, and then I knew that Leng Yi Kenneng had left.
Her hands had been bitten off by the tiger, and the blood was flowing non-stop. Fortunately, the blood vessels in her arm are a little thinner, and the blood flow is relatively slow, Rao is so, she already feels cold all over her body, drowsy, but she knows that this sleep, I am afraid that she will never wake up again. She tried her best to sober herself, but she felt that her eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. In order not to let herself fall asleep, she forced herself to look at the tigers that were staring at her with their heads up. Looking at the tiger's blood-clinging fangs, the bloody mouth, and the greedy little round eyes, Xue'e couldn't help but tremble.
I don't know how long it took, Xue'e finally heard Leng Yi's voice from above again: "Xue'e! You tell you the truth about what you confessed before! You must confess truthfully! ”
"Yes...... The slave and maid are willing to confess. Xue'e knew that her life was hopeful, and her voice trembled with excitement.
"First tell your name and who the lady you are serving, and then tell the truth about what you just confessed!"
"Yes......," Xue'e said intermittently with difficulty, "The slave maid is the palace maid who waits for Da Ji's mother, named Xue E. Our Niang Niang Da Ji was jealous of Hua Rui Guifei Niangniang who used to enjoy the favor of Emperor Taizu alone, and knew that Hua Rui Niangniang liked these tigers and would enter Tiger Mountain to ride tigers to play, so she asked the slaves and maids to put a total of thirteen palace maids into Tiger Mountain to feed the tigers. In order to intensify their wild surnames, when the flower lady comes in to ride the tiger, she can be eaten, and the hatred in Xue's heart can be eaten. These are all Da Ji Niangniang's ideas, and they have nothing to do with the slave maid, ......, please spare your life...... Ahh ”
As soon as she said this, she felt a lightness on her body, and the whole person hit the tiger with a bloody mouth on the ground in the Tiger Mountain, and she couldn't help screaming.
Seeing her fall, the tiger below who had been waiting with his head up jumped high, took a volley, and bit half of her head!
Xue'e's gaze peeked through the gap between the tiger's teeth, and she saw several people standing at the guardrail. In addition to Leng Yi, there is also the flower stamen concubine Niangniang, one of them, holding a steel knife, with an angry face, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, is the current emperor Zhao Guangyi!
Her gaze was fixed on this, for her head had been crushed by the tiger, and half of her head had been torn off and taken away. The other tiger bit and tore off most of her neck, and the blood that had been flowing so much used up its last strength and fled away from her body.
Looking at this terrifying scene, Madame Blossom turned her head to the side and chanted the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Zhao Guangyi cut the rope that bound Xue'e's feet with a knife, and after feeding her to the tiger, he threw the single knife to Long Zhen, the leader of the guards with the knife behind him.
Long Zhen took the single knife, hurriedly retreated, and withdrew from the distance, only then did he return the knife to the sheath, guarding from afar.
Zhao Guangyi said to Mrs. Hua Rui with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect it to be like this." Da Ji is also really vicious, and she actually uses such a means to deal with Niangniang, it is really hateful! I will definitely deal with her well and give her mother justice. ”
Mrs. Hua Rui just bowed and said, "The concubine retired." Then, still bowing his head and reciting the scriptures, he turned and walked out.
Zhao Guangyi exchanged glances with Leng Yi, and then said: "Leng Aiqing, you accompany Niangniang back to Nanke Temple, and you must not let Niangniang be frightened again!"
"Wechen obeys!" Leng Yi walked a few steps, turned back, and said to Zhao Guangyi in a low voice: "Official, Hua Rui Niangniang said that she was very stuffy in the palace and wanted to go out for a walk. ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "Okay, she can accompany her wherever she wants!" As long as it is to convince her, Aiqing can act cheaply! ”
"Wechen understands!"
Leng Yi took his leave, turned around and caught up with Mrs. Hua Rui.
Seeing Leng Yi and Mrs. Hua Rui leave, the smile on Zhao Guangyi's face gradually disappeared.
At the guardrail of Hushan, there are only two people, Zhao Guangyi and Wang Jien. The accompanying eunuchs and palace maids were waiting in the distance.
Wang Jien came up and said in a low voice: "The scapegoat that Lord Leng is looking for is not bad, and Mrs. Hua Rui seems to be very satisfied." ”
"As long as there is no punishment for the mastermind behind the scenes, Hua Rui Niang will not be satisfied!"
"That's right, how will the official family punish Daji?"
"You can't touch her yet! Wait until the time is right to take care of her! Zhao Guangyi sneered: "I discovered the conspiracy behind them by mistake, hehe, Leng Yi did a good job, what he found this time was not a scapegoat, but a truly guilty sheep!" ”
"Yes, yes, hehe, I can't imagine that Da Ji is so vicious, that she has held a grudge for so long, and she wants to kill Hua Rui Niang. Damn it! ”
Zhao Guangyi put his hands behind his back, looked at the tiger below and bit Xue'e's corpse, snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said, "Da Ji's intentions, I'm afraid it's not just for Hua Rui Niangniang." ”
Wang Jien sighed: "What does the official family mean......?" ”
"Da Ji knows that in the past, I used to accompany the first emperor to accompany Hua Rui Niangniang to play in Tiger Mountain, and entered Tiger Mountain to protect Niangniang to ride a tiger. And after the death of the first emperor, Hua Rui Niangniang never came to Hushan again. She must also know that I am interested in the flower lady. Once the Lady of the Stamen falls in love with me, I will inevitably accompany her to Tiger Mountain. Just take the opportunity to murder me, and at the same time kill the flower lady, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Wang Jien nodded frequently, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "It's just that why did she want to murder the official family?" As soon as he asked this question, Wang Jien found the answer by himself, "Yes!" It's for the prince of Qi! - Her brother Zheng En, who has a close relationship with Qi Zhao Tingmei, can be described as a brother, no less than the love with the first emperor. When the first emperor killed Zheng En, the prince of Qi almost fell out with the first emperor because of this. This Daji is Zheng En's younger sister, and the prince of Qi is the successor to the throne designated by the Jinkui Covenant to succeed the official family in the future. Could it be that Prince Qi secretly instructed her to use this method to try to murder the official family? ”
Zhao Guangyi turned his head to stare at Wang Jien, and kept looking at the hairs on his head before he said slowly: "Even you think so!" I'm afraid it's ......"
Wang Jien hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the Jinkui Covenant is lost now, and all the clues are broken, as long as the Jinkui Covenant cannot be recovered, the throne of the official family will not be passed on to outsiders, and in the future, when the official family has a solid foundation, you can ignore the Jinkui Covenant, at that time, he Qi Wang Ye can't help it!" ”
Zhao Guangyi closed his eyes for a long time before he said: "The Golden Covenant, the jade seal of the country, and the treasure that the queen mother said about maintaining the society of the country were lost together, and I have always suspected that it was arranged by the emperor in advance. He was worried that I would usurp the throne in advance, so he made this arrangement. If so, then the Golden Covenant will surely appear in my most difficult time. You can't wait to perish......"
Wang Jien nodded and said, "Of course, it's best to start first!" Otherwise, arrest Da Ji secretly for interrogation, and after finding out their collusion, take the opportunity to eradicate Prince Qi! ”
Zhao Guangyi shook his head: "Not good!" I have only been on the throne for less than two years, and my foundation is far from solid. Up and down the government and the opposition, there are not many people who follow me with an iron heart. Especially those old ministers, they will definitely help the descendants of the first emperor and will not help me when the time comes. Therefore, now is not the time to do it, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step. When the time comes, I'll take care of this Daji. ”
"The old slave understood." Wang Jien said: "It's just that Zhao Tingmei has been actively looking for this Jinkui Covenant, if he finds it in advance and makes it public, what should I do?" ”
"That's why I did my best to prevent him from finding the Golden Covenant before my foundation was firmly established."
"The official family is strategic, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away. Hehe, the official family recruited a master of solving cases like Leng Yi to his side, and didn't let him go to find the Jinkui Covenant, which was really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, this Leng Yi is good at realistic painting, and at the same time, he can also help the official family persuade Hua Rui Niangniang, on the other hand, there is no way to make Zhao Tingmei anxious, his people are not strong, and there is no way to find the golden covenant. Hey. ”
