Chapter 592: Leaning on the East Wind
Qian said: "With this money, we can eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, and live a happy life in the future!" Such a good deal, only a fool would not want to do it! ”
Zhu Sheng was embarrassed, frowned, and said quietly: "I don't think this is good." If the daughter of the Pingxi Hou Mansion you are talking about is the orphan girl we adopted before, then the two of us are ashamed of the child first, how can we betray the child for money and for this little profit, and ruin the rest of the child's life! We can't kill other people's lives because of selfish greed, and make mistakes again and again! Moreover, if the daughter of the Pingxi Hou Mansion is not the same person as the one we know, then the two of us will venture into the palace and go to the Queen Mother to reveal the evidence, neither slandering and misidentifying others, but will commit the crime of deceiving the king, and if we don't get it, we will be dragged out and beheaded! Not to mention, this matter, whether it succeeds or not, will offend the current saint, even if we are lucky enough to get the reward of the Queen Mother, we may not be able to take the money to spend it! We can't leave our hometown and die because of this, right?! No, no! I strongly disagree with you doing this, it is too risky to do so! ”
Qian Shi glanced at Zhu Sheng fiercely, and said angrily: "Look at your little bit of talent!" Isn't it just to enter the palace and go to the Queen Mother to make a witness, not to send people's heads! With the Queen Mother to protect us, where will anyone dare to touch us easily. Besides, we're telling the truth. It's not that he framed and slandered her. Even if she is rejected by the emperor because of this, she can only blame her own bad life, who let her be a good daughter of the Hou Mansion is not appropriate, but she is left out and becomes an orphan girl in the countryside! Even if the emperor wants to trouble us because of this, the two of us can get the money and fly away, I don't believe it, in the vast sea of people, the emperor will send someone to chase and kill us all the way because of this little thing! Anyway, I don't care if you agree or not, I have already explained it to Feng Yuanwai. Feng Yuanwai has also promised me that tomorrow morning, he will tell Yuanzhi County, who is about to return to the imperial city, and I believe that Yuanzhi County has its own decision. ”
Zhu Sheng heard this and said worriedly: "You mother-in-law, such a big matter, you don't discuss it with me in advance, why don't you just think of it as the master, and tell Feng Yuanwai about it, if it doesn't work out, not to mention that we can't get the reward from the Queen Mother, it is estimated that the hard-won fat difference we got here here in Feng Yuanwai will also be ruined for you." When the time comes, won't the two of us roll up the cover again and drink the northwest wind! ”
"Zhu Sheng, you're skilled, aren't you?! Dare to count me up! Who are you and I trying to do this for? It's not for the two of us to save money to cross the river in the future, and we can have a few days of leisure and prosperity in the future! If you are too timid and afraid to go to the imperial city to meet the Queen Mother, then I will go alone. Save yourself from worrying about here and there! ”
When Qian said this, he was angry, pulled the quilt, and fell asleep.
Zhu Sheng felt that his tone was a little worse, and he also regretted being angry at the Qian family a little in his heart. I wanted to coax the Qian family, but I felt indebted in my heart, and I was in a dilemma, so I couldn't open my mouth. I had to fall on the bed too, thinking left and right.
Maybe because he was too tired, Zhu Sheng, who wanted to seek a countermeasure, fell asleep unconsciously.
When Qian heard Zhu Sheng's thunderous snoring, he was so angry that he kicked Zhu Sheng directly, almost kicking Zhu Sheng to the ground.
Early the next morning, Feng Yuanwai personally sent someone to the post house where the official Yuan Yi of Jiupin County stayed, and relayed what Qian said yesterday to Yuan Yi.
Yuan heard that the servants in Feng Yuanwai's mansion knew Gongliang Zhu'er, and he was likely to be able to prove Gongliang's life experience, so his eyes lit up, and he immediately dispelled the idea of playing in Huaicheng for two days, and took a sedan chair on the same day, and came to Feng Yuanwai's mansion again to witness Qian and Zhu Sheng.
Inside the Imperial City Sunshine Palace.
On this day, the Queen Mother He Lanyan was talking to the fourth princess Helian Furou, who took care of herself, in the Bright Sun Palace.
Suddenly, I heard a report from the secret agent, saying that it was Yuan Yi, the magistrate of Zerong County, the imperial city, who had found a witness in Huaicheng City who could prove the identity of Gongliang Zhu'er, and now the two witnesses had come to the county government of Zerong County, the imperial city, and listened to the summons of the Empress Dowager He Lanyan.
When the Empress Dowager He Lanyan heard about it, she hurriedly sent someone to bring the two witnesses into the palace.
Helian Furou heard clearly beside the Queen Mother He Lanyan. Helian Furou also didn't know whether the arrival of these two witnesses, who claimed to be able to prove the identity of Gongliang'er, was happy or worried.
However, it was rare for Queen Mother He Lanyan to smile on her face.
It didn't take long for the messenger to bring the two witnesses from Huaicheng and Yuan Yi, the magistrate of Zerong County, into the Sunny Palace.
Qian and Zhu Sheng entered the palace for the first time, and deliberately dressed themselves up decently, and had the courage to follow the messenger into the palace.
As soon as I walked into the palace gate, I was amazed by the magnificent Dragon Tower and Phoenix Pavilion in front of me, and the Champs Yuyu. Not to mention, when I entered the Jiaoyang Palace, I met the Iron Lady Queen Mother He Lanyan in the folk legend of Dayan.
Zhu Sheng and Qian followed the eunuch to the front of the palace, but they didn't dare to raise their eyes. Even the Qian family, who is usually high-flying and domineering, when he arrived in front of the Queen Mother He Lanyan, he couldn't help but be frightened by the Queen Mother's momentum without anger, grovelling, bowing his head, and not daring to gasp.
Yuan Yi, the magistrate of Zerong County, who came with Zhu Sheng and the Qian family, bowed down and bowed, "Yuan Yi, the magistrate of Zerong County, greets the Queen Mother!" ”
Yuan Yi said, and glanced at Zhu Sheng and Qian who were stunned.
Only then did Zhu Sheng and Qian react, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The grass people meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”
The Queen Mother He Lanyan raised her eyes and saw that the three people in front of the meeting, one was Yuan Yi, the magistrate of Zerong County, and the other two people who looked like peasant women and farmers should be the two people who took the initiative to enter the palace to testify.
"The two of them are what Yuan Zhixian said, and they took the initiative to see the mourning family, those two witnesses?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth faintly.
Yuan Yi replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, these two are the people who Weichen found in Huaicheng and can prove the identity of Miss Gongliang - Zhu Sheng and his daughter-in-law Qian. They are farmers in the border fields, and they have heard that they have adopted Miss Gongliang before. ”
The Queen Mother stared at the country couple who were kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to raise their heads, and asked, "You two said that you can confirm that Gongliang'er's identity is false, but is there such a thing?" ”
Qian raised his head slowly and replied in a hurry: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the grass people can confirm that the current daughter of the Hou Mansion, Gongliang Er, used to live in the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion and lived in Fireworks Lane, as the rumors said. The grass people also know some unknown things that Gongliang has done. Therefore, when I heard that the Queen Mother was looking for witnesses, she deliberately took the initiative to report to Yuanzhi County, and got rid of Yuanzhi County and truthfully reported the matter to the Queen Mother. ”
The fourth princess Helian Furou, who served beside the Empress Dowager He Lanyan, listened to the words of the Qian family, and called the name of the daughter of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, Gongliang Zhu'er, which was very disrespectful, so she sharply accused: "Bold! Dare to call Pingxi Hou's daughter's name! ”
Helian Fu said softly, so that Qian and Zhu Sheng were stunned.
He Lanyan waved her hand, relieved Zhu Sheng and Qian's siege, and said, "This little thing, don't worry about it like this. ”
