Chapter Seventy-Three: The Palace Maiden Chunrui
Xin Yi is a Qing official, a straight official, but when he heard his words, he was still a little suspicious: "Oh, she has only been back in Kyoto City for a few days, I'm afraid that no one even knows the names of these two people, so why did she send you to assassinate the killer?"
The man was obviously on the verge of being unable to support it, but he still said: "I won't ask if I take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and I won't ask them if they have any festivals...... I worked for her, but she ruined my cultivation along with others, so how could I not hate it! I fled to the Zhenguo Mansion as she said, but I don't know why she wanted to ...... me like this."
There are no other witnesses at present, and this person's one-sided statement alone cannot determine Ye Luwu's guilt. Xin Yi stroked his beard, but although he couldn't believe what he said, he couldn't believe it. Today, Lin Lingzhu has retrieved the soul of the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he thinks that he will come to his senses in a few days, and there will be witnesses in this case by then.
He thought about it a thousand times, and then instructed the master on the side: "Write down everything he said, and make plans after he examines the storyteller's body." ”
The sky gradually darkened again, and although the snow slowed down a lot, a figure walked in the blurred world, and after looking left and right at no one, he flashed into a remote courtyard.
A man stood tall in the vast snow, and flakes of snow mist fell on the tips of his shoulders, ethereal and unearthly.
The man entered the small courtyard and was stunned for a moment, and then slowly untied the black scarf on his face, revealing an extremely familiar face, which was Jiang Wen.
"Why is Your Highness standing outside, how can it be good if it is cold on this day, I am afraid that the mother will be worried again. ”
Xu Mingchuan turned around, with a rare sneer on the corner of his mouth, "If there is a serious illness in this palace, I am afraid that there will be more happy people." Don't worry about it yet, have you finished what this palace commanded?"
Jiang Wen immediately said: "The assassination of the Holy Lord last time has been found out, and the tourmaline ruyi beads used by His Highness were all made by the palace, and then sent by a special person. I checked the records of the palace people in the half month before that day, and found a name that I had never seen before. ”
"Born people?" Xu Mingchuan frowned, "Where are the palace people?"
"It's strange to say, this little palace maid's name is Chunrui, and she is not from any palace, but has just entered the palace and has not yet been distributed to the palaces. It stands to reason that this kind of person is the cleanest, but when I carefully examined her background, she found that there was only one babbling younger brother in her family, except for her elderly grandmother. According to their neighbors, the two were miserable and had not had enough to eat for years, but just a month earlier, her grandmother had gone out to buy a new dress. ”
"It's developed overnight, and when it's a year, how can a family live a miserable life with money. ”
Jiang Wenying said: "It is precisely this reason, in order not to startle the snake, I just sent a few reliable people to stare at it day and night, and I didn't get too close." This is one of them, and the other is that every time His Royal Highness takes a certain number of wishful beads, someone will count them every time they are sent. Only the person in charge of the inventory half a month ago was sick, thinking that everything had been fine all along, so he stole it once. ”
"The pattern of this bead must have been revealed that time," Xu Mingchuan muttered: "I haven't used the Ruyi bead in this palace during this time, so you can find a reason to count it today." ”
The matter is over, Jiang Wenwen should step back, but as if he has unfinished words, he hesitates in place but does not dare to speak.
Xu Mingchuan felt a little funny when he saw that he was a big man and three rough like a woman, "But is there anything else? ”
With his consent, Jiang Wen whispered: "When I passed by the Taishou Yamen today, I heard someone inside talking about the storyteller, and I thought that His Highness had seen this matter himself, so I stood under the wall and listened. It seems that the murderer caught today can't be punished, so he was recruited. ”
"It turned out to be because of this," Xu Mingchuan sneered. "It's not a good thing to recruit it, so as not to be discussed by everyone in this city, and it is also forbidden for those imperial historians to use the topic to play, saying that the palace can not be matched, and cannot take on the responsibility of the prime minister. ”
Jiang Wen looked at his expression and was fine, and then he spoke again: "It's a recruitment, but he seems to say that he was instructed to kill people, and he was ...... The order of the countryman. ”
Sure enough, as he expected, Xu Mingchuan immediately condensed between his eyebrows when he heard this, "Why did you still get her involved, even if she helped the palace many times, it was also a private matter, and no one ever knew." They can't hold their breath like this, do they want to involve the people around this palace one by one in this sewage!"
Xu Mingchuan was self-controlled, and when he was a little angry after he was ten years old, his anger was now exposed, and it was a little colder than the snowstorm, and the scattered flying snow seemed to be hindered by his momentum, and the speed of falling slowed down, and it fell quietly on the snow, without making the slightest sound.
Although Jiang Wen knew that he was not angry with himself, his heart still kept beating in his belly, "The countryman is simple and kind-hearted, if he is involved in these rights and wrongs, he will inevitably panic, what does His Highness think about this matter?"
"Hmph," Xu Mingchuan snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Do they think that this palace is easy to bully? But they should never involve irrelevant people, she is innocent and alone, how can she let them splash dirty water. Since they have done this, don't blame the palace for not sparing them. ”
Jiang Wen looked at Xu Mingchuan with a gloomy expression, and already regretted it in his heart, if he didn't tell him about it, it would be fine.
His Royal Highness has laid out the dark web for more than ten years, and now it is not yet the time to be in front of everyone, if it is exposed because of his own words, wouldn't it be a little less likely to win than King Rong? The Holy Lord is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, what if he changes his mind in the future......
Jiang Wen didn't dare to think about it anymore, he looked at Xu Mingchuan with a solemn face, and hesitated: "Your Highness, if you want to use our power at this time, is it a little premature......
Xu Mingchuan glanced at him and said coldly: "Hmm, when will it be your turn to discuss the decision of this palace, and you will receive twenty sticks tonight." ”
“...... Be. ”
After sending Jiang Wen away, Xu Mingchuan shook off the snow on his shoulders slightly, reached out and took off the extremely inconspicuous copper coin from his waist, and spread it in his palm to look at it carefully.
This copper coin seems to have been held in the palm of someone's hand for a long time, and the surface has a slight warm luster. He stretched out his thumb and rubbed it gently, and his gaze seemed to fall on the bright and delicate face through the square hole of the copper coin.
After a long time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.
