Chapter 273: Rumors
Lu Xuan raised his glass, replaced the wine with tea and said with a smile: "Whether you can find out the murderer of Jingxin depends on Brother Lin." β
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the tea was a little bitter.
Lu Xuan will arrange it.
"I do my best." Although he was slanderous, Lin Xiao said it sincerely.
It is his duty to seek political action in his position and find out the truth.
"Brother Lu wants to drag Concubine Su into this pool of troubled waters?" Thinking of what Lu Xuan said just now, Lin Xiao held the teacup and asked.
Lu Xuan sneered: "How can you call her in, isn't she the one who stirred up this troubled water?" β
Lin Xiao was silent and put the teacup on the table: "I'll take someone to the Shuntian Mansion to ask." β
When it was time to disperse the dynasty, Dou Shangshu walked out unhurriedly, looked at the obvious more people on the street than in the past, and smiled at Feng Shangshu: "There must be a lively scene again, these people are very active as soon as they are lively." β
Feng Shangshu smiled and said, "Dou Shangshu is quite experienced. β
Dou Shangshu sighed: "No way, there are not many others in the capital, but there are many more lively." β
The last two bustles were from the Shuntian Mansion, and he looked at the Shuntian Mansion Yin Ke a lot haggard.
"Dou Shangshu will see you back." One of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites and the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment is in the east and the other is in the west, Feng Shangshu arched his hand and walked quickly to the east.
Hurry up and ask what's going on.
Dou Shangshu also thought so, and hurried to the yamen of the criminal department.
When he arrived near the yamen, he found that the people were lingering not far away, and Dou Shangshu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Your Excellency!" As soon as he saw Dou Shangshu, the tone of the gatekeeper was extremely excited.
Dou Shangshu settled down and snorted.
If he doesn't ask, and the officials don't say anything, it shouldn't be a big deal.
It's rare to be confused, Dou Shangshu decided not to find trouble for himself.
Seeing Dou Shangshu walking in with his feet raised, the guard couldn't help but say, "My lord, something happened." β
Dou Shangshu stopped in mid-air with one foot, and wanted to kick it over.
"What's the matter?"
"Before dawn, I found a corpse at the door of our yamen."
Dou Shangshu shook his beard, and his face was quite calm: "Can you report to Lin Langzhong?" β
He remembered that Lin Xiao worked overtime and stayed in the yamen yesterday.
The official hurriedly said: "Lord Lin has taken someone to the Shuntian Mansion." β
Dou Shangshu was stunned: "Why did you go to Shuntian Mansion?" β
"It is said that the deceased placed at the door of our yamen is a nun who was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion to meditate, so Lord Lin went to Shuntian Mansion."
"What?" Dou Shangshu couldn't maintain his composure anymore.
Now up and down the capital, there is nothing you don't know when it comes to nuns meditating, and his criminal department is naturally no exception.
The nun who was locked up in Shuntian Mansion died quietly, and the body was put at the door of the Ministry of Punishment, and Lin Xiao also ran away to Shuntian Mansion with people!
When Dou Shangshu thought about it like this, the whole person was not good.
Looking back at the people who were probing their brains, Dou Shangshu reprimanded the officials with a dark face: "Why is it known to everyone?" Don't know how to carry the body away first? β
The official was full of grievances: "The corpse was found by the husband, and the husband struck the gong loudly, and many people ran out to see the excitement at that time......
Dou Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the officials: "Go and call Lin Langzhong back for me!" β
He shouldn't have sympathized with Shuntian Mansion Yin, he knew that this was the case, so let Shuntian Mansion Yin continue to be haggard.
Just when the news of the appearance of the corpse of a nun at the entrance of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs spread, the rumors changed and changed.
"Do you know, that little nun was murdered, I heard that the death was very terrifying, and the guards of the yamen were so frightened that they peed their pants!"
"Aren't all people arrested, according to the law, what are you doing to murder a little nun?"
"Extinguish the mouth, definitely extinguish the mouth!"
"If you will extinguish your mouth, then it means that there is a secret......"
"I know, Jingxin didn't have an affair with King Wu at all, so he was killed after the nun reported the plum blossom hermitage."
"Does it matter?"
"It makes so much of a difference! What do you think, what did the little nun tell the Plum Blossom Nunnery? β
"Said that the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery took the blood of the little nun to make medicine, it seems to be for the sake of rejuvenation?"
"That's right, think about what King Wu entered the Plum Blossom Nunnery at night for, he really fell in love with a bald little nun?"
The listener was asked.
That's right, the dignified prince can't get any beauties, so why go to the nunnery to steal fish.
The man pointed in the direction of the imperial city and whispered, "Think about King Wu's mother againβ"
"Ahh The listener covered his mouth in shock, and his eyes widened and widened.
Thought of it!
Soon after.
"Do you know, the little nun's meditation was extinguished, and she didn't have an affair with King Wu."
"Then what did King Wu do on the night of the Zhongyuan Festival?"
At this time, the voice of the person who spoke lowered: "Get medicine for the concubine Niangniang......"
The person who heard this rumor turned his head to the human: "Do you know, the concubine Niangniang is taking the medicine made by the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery......
The rumors spread more and more, and Feng Tao knew about it, and trotted to the late autumn residence.
"Eldest sister, have you heard, that noble concubine is dressed in medicine mixed with human blood!"
Looking at her younger sister, Feng Cheng was unhurried to help Fu Shunmao: "Where did the third sister hear this, you can't talk nonsense." β
Feng Tao sat down and waved his hand: "It's okay, everyone says so now." β
"Yes." Feng Cheng rubbed Laifu's head, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Eldest sister, did you say that Concubine Su really took that kind of medicine?" Feng Tao came to Feng Cheng's side and squeezed Laifu away.
The increasingly mellow flower cat glanced at Feng Tao, raised her head slightly and paced, looking too lazy to care.
"What does the third sister think?" Feng Cheng asked rhetorically.
Feng Tao showed a disgusted expression: "I must have eaten it, otherwise how could it be so good-looking all the time, King Wu often goes to the Plum Blossom Nunnery." β
"But there's no evidence."
Feng Tao pouted: "What evidence do you want, everyone just knows the true face of King Wu's mother and son." β
Feng Cheng curled his lips and smiled.
Yes, it's good that everyone knows about it, but as for the evidence, if it is really held in front of the official, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in a hurry.
In the palace of King Wu, where the air pressure was low, a rush of footsteps broke the dullness: "Lord Wang, something happened!" β
After listening to the report, King Wu leaned back in his chair, his face colorless.
The commander of the Jinliang Guard made Liu Ning hurry to the palace.
Emperor Qingchun was in a bad mood recently because of King Wu's affairs, and was enjoying the song and dance at Su Guifei's place, listening to the inner servant report to Governor Liu Dadu asking to see him, and went to the imperial study with a calm face.
"What's the matter?" After Liu Dadu came in, Emperor Qingchun asked.
Governor Liu Dadu was mentally prepared enough for the small half hour he was waiting, listened to the emperor's inquiry, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, a rumor suddenly broke off in Beijing, and ...... The concubine is related to ......"
At first, it was a rumor, but Emperor Qingchun didn't care.
No matter how strict the law is, it can't control people's mouths, and there is too much gossip.
Hearing that it was related to Concubine Su, he couldn't help frowning: "What rumors?" β
