Chapter 85: The Incident
In the spring of the eleventh year of Tianlong, it officially kicked off in a muffled thunder. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it began to rain lightly. I don't know how many fragments of firecrackers exploded all over the ground, making the ground wet red.
Xiaolou is also very leisurely listening to the wind and rain, even the palace has also passed the will, so that all families do not have to enter the palace to see each other, just in their own homes.
The one who issued the will was the name of the fake queen mother, but in fact, it was just Concubine Xiao of the concubine.
Concubine Xiao was originally a princess under the knee of Emperor Xia at the end of the previous Xia Dynasty. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was loved by the first emperor Yan Jian at that time, so she was included in the harem and made her a concubine, and she was very fond of her.
With the death of the first emperor and the queen mother, although she does not have the name of the queen mother, she actually has the queen mother.
The key is that she and her nominal son Yan Guang have some inexplicable ambiguity.
There is such a master, although there is no queen in the palace now, but Yin Qiang, the imperial concubine, really can't be said to be the real mother of the world.
Although the people are exempted from worship, the masters above always give some gifts to the bottom to show their grace.
Yin Qiang had just given gifts to each family, and Concubine Xiao's gift had also arrived.
These two have been fighting in the palace for ten years, and there is also a shadow of the battle between the two of them in the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
The imperial concubine is the sister-in-law of the third lady Yin Wei, but Concubine Xiao had some friendship with Chu Ling when she was young, and the imperial concubine just gave Lin Qiantan a beautifully crafted female commandment carving on the front foot, and Concubine Xiao rewarded Lin Bixiang and the two palace grandmothers over there, which is called teaching the rules.
Lin Bixiang's ugly thing, but it has been passed into the palace again, otherwise why would Yin Qiang have to ask someone to take Lin Qiantan out of anger? Concubine Xiao also happened to use this as an excuse to slap Yin Qiang's face.
Lin Qiantan couldn't laugh well, looking at the good-looking female commandment, she was not angry at all, but asked someone to put it away carefully.
Lin Bixiang is full of anger.
The rumors that have been quelled down, I don't know who is talking too much, and they talk about her again, saying that she and the second cousin of the Yin family are not clear.
But she can't help but feel weak, she is not clear with her cousin, yes, but not a second cousin, but a big cousin.
She was distracted by rumors and didn't pay attention to her menstrual affairs for a while, and on the other hand, she also gave Lin Qiantan a nice New Year's gift.
With the help of Lin Bixiang's shareholder style, the news of Miss Lin Family's seventh lady and the Dong family's son's private teaching and acceptance also spread. Lin Bixiang is not a vegetarian either, spending a few silver is a matter of asking Lin Qiantan to cover her.
Lin Qiantan first heard this from Wang Yuanzhao's mouth.
With the previous experience, Lin Qiantan was no longer surprised by Wang Yuanzhao's promotion speed.
Wang Yuanzhao said that he was going to join the army, so he acted like the wind, and he really went, and when he saw him again, he was already a general, and Lin Qiantan was not surprised. He said as a joke what Lin Qiantan was saying to people outside: "If you say a word, I'll beat them for you."
This person squatted on the tree and didn't enter the house, Lin Qiantan was also used to him running out from time to time at night and calling her to go out and climb the wall to eat supper, and the two really cultivated some friendship. She smiled when she heard this: "A thousand people have a thousand mouths, can you beat them?"
Wang Yuanzhao was serious, and smiled meaningfully: "You don't have to do it yourself to beat people."
Lin Qiantan thought so, he now just had the identity of "the second son of the Yanguo Mansion", and there were already people rushing to curry favor when he went out.
If he goes to the next level, with his bold nature of making friends, if he frowns, someone will do things for him one after another.
Lin Qiantan didn't take the rumors outside to heart, in her opinion, those were innocuous things, but a bracelet, it was very easy to break the direction of the wind.
Before she could do anything, some people really couldn't see her being said badly, and ran away to bring the wind back.
Lin Qiantan also thought that Lin Bixiang's little means was a trivial matter to add to her time to pass the time, not to mention that Wang Yuanzhao had settled it for her again.
Who knew that after another two days, the big dish prepared by Lin Bixiang was really served.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, another woodcutter who traveled back and forth outside the city on weekdays came out and said that he saw someone who looked like the seventh lady of the Lin family burying someone outside the city.
The woodcutter said it clearly, and even Lin Qiantan's appearance was five points close. When Lin Qiantan heard it, she was in her heart and knew that this time she was really in a little trouble.
Like the woodcutter who stood up and spoke, he walked in the mountains on weekdays, and Lin Qiantan was confident that he buried Dong Yong that day, and no one saw it.
But the forest is thick, and it is not impossible for someone to take a look from afar and find something.
Lord Bai, the official of the capital government, naturally took people out of the city and went according to the position that the woodcutter said - the woodcutter also said that others were soft-spoken, and if they saw it, they should have regarded it as if they didn't see it, but they couldn't stand the torture of conscience.
When I turned around and finished my errand, I took the money from Holly. He turned to leave, and Holly stopped him and warned him of what to say and what not to say.
The woodcutter also had no intention of breaking it, so he made a fortune in vain, and of course he made a fortune in a muffled voice, and promised with all his mouths.
However, before this person walked out of the capital a few steps, he was put in a black cloth bag, and unknowingly disappeared into the world forever with the money in his pocket that he had not had time to spend.
Lin Bixiang laughed at him in the house afterwards: "If you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend it."
Bai Ji had already been led by the woodcutter, so naturally he really dug up a male corpse somewhere outside the city with dense shadows. The corpse had begun to decompose, and it was difficult to make out its face. But after Dong Yin's identification, which came after hearing the voice, it was indeed her son Dong Yong, who died without a trace a year ago.
There was a woodcutter to testify, and the corpse was indeed dug up, Lin Qiantan really frowned, her bracelet was still in Dong Yin's hand, which was a little tricky.
The people from the official mansion politely invited Lin Qiantan to "speak", and the people in the Dongshan Hou Mansion also reacted differently.
Lin Bixiang was woken up by an official messenger in the middle of the night and was also happy: "God is also open, the short-lived ghost woodcutter finally touched our house and wanted to blackmail my seventh sister, who knew that it was just a matter of giving a sum of money to end the matter, who knows, it happened to meet you?"
It is not without reason that holly is more and more than Cai Tong and is reused by Lin Bixiang.
That day, she also happened to go out of the house to do things for Lin Bixiang, and she was lucky enough to meet a woodcutter who was wandering around outside the house.
On the other hand, Lin Qiantan had already gone to the official mansion and was interrogated by the official Bai.
It is said to be an interrogation, but it is very polite. Lin Qiantan naturally couldn't admit that she had killed someone. But helplessly, Dong Yin's human evidence, physical evidence, and corpse evidence are all there, although she has some arrangements, but when Tian Xiaoxiang makes a fuss, it will always take time.
Lin Qiantan frowned, only listening to Dong Yin's bitter crying and testifying against her in the night, she was not in a hurry to refute, and she had already thought of something, only when Dong Yin's words finally fell, she smiled at Bai Ji, but what she said was Dong Yin's: "Aunt has been talking for so long, it's time for me to say it."
