Chapter 280: Nine Deaths and One Life
Chu Hua hurriedly saluted: "The emperor has a good reputation, and the ministers are ashamed of it." ”
Emperor Jinghong said with a smile: "Chu Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble, the Chu family has been wronged and should be compensated, and she should be rewarded for protecting the military field to help the imperial court thoroughly investigate this case, so I stabbed her with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred horses of silk to show her reward." ”
"Chen Chuhua, on behalf of the little girl, Xie Huangshang Longen." Chu Hua knelt down and bowed.
Emperor Jinghong waved his hand to signal that Chu Hua did not need to be polite, and then said: "Fu Zhiheng has made meritorious contributions to exposing Ge Yichuan's evil deeds, rewarding 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 100 horses of silk. ”
"Yes." The great eunuch Li Defang immediately responded and arranged instead.
The emperor's decree was immediately executed, and the document commending Fu Zhiheng's merits was immediately posted, and the people gathered in one place, and the literate read aloud to everyone.
"Fu Gongzi is acquitted!"
"Hey, Fu is really a pillar of the country, and the emperor boasted about it himself!"
"Fu Gongzi was acquitted, let's go and see."
"Let's go, together."
……
The news spread very quickly, and many women and ladies who stayed at home hurriedly went out with veils and rushed out in the direction of the prison. Those Fengchen women who usually have a close relationship with Fu Zhiheng got the news, and they didn't sleep anymore, and rushed over in groups.
As soon as Fu Zhiheng came out of the prison, his eyes were drowned out by bursts of cheers before he could adjust to the bright skylight.
Someone praised: "Fu Dacai is a real hero to eliminate harm for the people!" ”
Some people cheered: "The emperor is wise, Fu Gongzi is not guilty!" ”
There are even those women who have admired Fu Zhiheng for a long time, and they all cheered and screamed excitedly when they saw Fu Zhiheng come out.
Fu Zhiheng brushed his messy hair, straightened his dirty clothes, and had a smile on his stubble face, even if he was sloppy, with his chic and dignified temperament, he was not depressed at all, but even more out of his temperament, perfectly combining the pride of the rivers and lakes with the popularity of the literati.
"Thank you for your solidarity and concern over the past few days. Thanks a lot! Thanks a lot! Fu Zhiheng saluted, and along the way, there were women throwing champas, flowers and other objects at him along the way.
The scene was as grand as the last time he was paraded in a prison car.
At the same time, in the Maoguo Mansion, the emperor's reward was also ceremoniously sent by the lieutenant.
The real money was sent, and the Xu family thanked the Duchess of Maoguo in person, and finally was able to completely put his mind at ease.
Earlier, Chu Hua said that Chu Junlan was fine, but she couldn't believe it.
"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless!"
"Yes, our Sister Lan is edified," the old lady smiled, "Now the big guy can be relieved, this time is just a false alarm, I was worried that Sister Lan's matter would cause disaster to the family, but now it seems to be a good thing." ”
The third wife, Ren, also nodded and said: "Sister Lan is the lucky star of our family, not to mention anything else, the uncle's illness was cured by Sister Lan'er's clothes, and now I still see that the uncle will not delay the practice of martial arts!" ”
The eldest lady also nodded: "Yes, there is also the second brother who was framed in the court, and the relationship between the jade concubine is not also because of Sister Lan." ”
The children and dependents of the family all nodded in unison.
Xu Shi smiled even more. The family is kind, Chu Junlan has such a big thing, and no one talks nonsense in front of her, and no one complains about it, but it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, she knows that everyone is concerned, for fear that Chu Junlan's affairs will affect the entire Maoguo Gong lineage.
She was also worried and complained, but she was more worried about Chu Junlan's safety, and she was complaining about the Ge family, who had nothing to do, and she didn't expect that her daughter had the ability to take Fu Zhiheng hostage all the way to Huaijing, not only solved her own case, but also brought down the entire Ge family.
The Xu family is now full of Chu Junlan's love and admiration, and she just hopes that Chu Junlan will go home soon, she hasn't seen her for a long time, she really misses it tightly.
Chu Junlan, who could be missed by the Xu family, still stayed in the palace at this time.
Li Defang, the chief eunuch, said to Chu Junlan with a smile: "Miss Chu, you don't have to be nervous when you meet the saint later, you can act completely according to what our family says, you can be courteous and thorough, and you will answer whatever the emperor asks." ”
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
Li Defang is a powerful person around Jing Hongdi, even the first-class officials have to give three points of courtesy when they see him, and Chu Junlan is polite and thoughtful.
Chu Junlan followed behind Li Defang, all the way along the path paved with stones, through the imperial garden, and continued to walk forward with a full cup of tea, Rao is Chu Junlan remembered her way to come from, and habitually formed a topographic map in her mind, and her heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
Because she found that Li Defang led her into the deep palace, judging from past experience, if something happened here and the two sides moved, she would probably not be able to escape at all.
After a short time, Li Defang led her to a remote courtyard.
The environment here is quiet, with green trees and red flowers, birds singing and flowers. But Chu Junlan was not easy in his heart.
When Li Defang went in to pass the message, Chu Junlan looked at the surrounding environment and began to guess the emperor's intention to summon him.
She originally thought that when the emperor saw her, he would ask about Gege's hometown, so it was convenient to just go to a random place, so why deliberately lead her to such a secluded place in the deep palace?
But after a moment, Li Deyi came out with a smile on his face and said in a low voice: "Miss Chu, the emperor summoned you." ”
"Yes." Chu Junlan cheered up, responded with a smile, and stepped into the half-open Linghua gate.
As soon as I stepped on the bright marble floor tiles, the rhombic door behind me "creaked" shut.
There were only two people in the empty room. Just after the middle of the imperial case, a tall and straight man in bright yellow stood with his back to her, thinking that it was Emperor Jinghong. The person next to him, Chu Junlan, is also very familiar, it is the great eunuch Cao Qin!
Chu Junlan's gaze met Cao Qin's, and he saw Cao Qin nodding to her with a smile, but his eyes were very cold and resentful.
Thinking that since she protected Nuo Min and Bai Yin, she has indirectly opposed Cao Qin, and later she deceived Cao Qin to get the "Qi Family's Secret Record" and escaped from the Jinyi Wei and the master arranged by Cao Qin, Cao Qin already hated her teeth, right?
After thinking for a long time, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Junlan knelt down and saluted: "Courtier Chu Junlan, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live the emperor." ”
Emperor Jinghong turned around, sat down on the black lacquered imperial chair, slowly picked up the tea bowl, and didn't let her get up, and asked slowly:
"I came to you for one thing. How did you find the clue to go to Huaijing? ”
Chu Junlan's heart sank.
Just when Emperor Jinghong's words fell, the atmosphere in this room suddenly changed!
Cao Qinnai is a master of the inner family, and he is already tense.
In addition, although she didn't see anyone else in the house with her naked eyes, she clearly felt that there were no less than ten other masters in this room, and everyone was ready to go!
