Chapter 104: Speculation on Intent
Qin Zheng's heart jumped, but his face was still calm, and the fist in his sleeve clenched slightly: "Even ifβeven if Lord Lin is killed as you say, what if you say that Lord Lin is killed, can you know who the murderer is and why?" He didn't mean to pursue it, there were too many things in this palace that had no beginning or end.
Lu Yixuan shook her head, she was not in a hurry: "I don't know who the murderer is behind the scenes, but he must not want people to find out what Lord Lin Zhen also knows." β
"What is it?" Qin Zheng found that he couldn't help but follow her and asked.
Lu Yixuan tilted his head and smiled at Qin Zheng, quite a little delicate: "Lord Lin died in the ice cellar, the ice cellar is not used all year round, few people will go there, there is a path behind the ice cellar that leads to the Fengning Palace, which is the cold palace of the first emperor's period, and the palace ladies who made mistakes were locked in it and thought about it, "This is a well-known thing, there is nothing special and worth investigating in the Fengning Palace," although the East Academy is in the southwest corner, if you pass through the ice cellar from the silver tin bridge of the Fengning Palace, take the south gate to bypass the imperial garden, you can reach another palace where warblers and birds sing. β
Qin Zheng swallowed his saliva slightly, and he could feel that his palms were full of hot sweat.
"If the courtiers remember it well, the ancestral home of Concubine Yuan is-"
"Shut up!" Qin Zheng shouted angrily in vain, and suddenly felt out of shape and hurriedly clenched his back molars.
Lu Yixuan also raised his eyebrows just right and stopped talking, as if he was waiting for Lord Qin to cry out unbearably.
Today's harem pampered Yuan Concubine Niangniang's hometown is Shunning Mansion, the land of the two provinces where thieves are troubled - look, what a coincidence, the remote corner of the country is troubled but can't reach the heavens, the prefects of the two provinces deceive the upper and lower, and the yang and yin dare not report it, and there are bandits from the corner of the East Palace, and the people who work hard for money never tell you anything about loyalty and filial piety, plus Lu Yixuan saw the conspiracy and trickery in the Yuzhang Mountain with his own eyes, Feng Mingxie can solve her confusion in a few words, Rao is no matter how dull she is, she can guess it, There is a great force in Shengjing City, which is deeply rooted in the connivance of the dark Chen Cang.
Qin Zheng obviously knew what Lu Yixuan was referring to, so he had to shout - she was slandering the concubine Niangniang who favored the sixth palace, she was alluding to the collusion between the concubine and the local officials of the feudal territory, no-Qin Zheng saw more than this in the girl's eyes.
"Lord Qin, it seems that you know no less than me," Lu Yixuan looked at Qin Zheng's expression with a cold afterglow, "I have not been with His Royal Highness the King of Jin for a short time, and I can smell a little agarwood mixed with his clothes, "There is incense burning in every palace, this is not surprising, agarwood is an extremely common and common spice, Qin Zheng doesn't know what Lu Yixuan uses to determine what, "But agarwood is always mixed with a little taste of cotton leaves, cotton leaves are mostly used to remove fish, and they will never be mixed with spices, unless- β
Lu Yixuan faced Qin Zheng, spread out her palms, and there were two or three brown hard objects like small jujube cores lying on the scars, with strange triangular tips, which was exactly what she wanted to hide.
Qin Zheng's gaze swirled around her palm and face, and his face suddenly changed: "Do you know what you're talking about?!" β
Lu Yixuan - this young woman in the Duke of Wei State Mansion is really bold and too smart, Qin Zheng suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that she suddenly ran to the division room some time ago not to choose rouge gouache for her third sister, but to deliberately investigate the source of those fragrances, in the trouble in the Yuqing Garden, she deliberately kicked over the incense burner and grabbed the spice residues on her hands just to prove her guess, a guess that even she doesn't know the consequences - Lu Yixuan has always had her own set of small tricks, watching six ways and listening to all directions, Then peeled back the truth step by step, she was clearly insinuating that the King of Jin and Concubine Yuan had already secretly colluded, and even did not hesitate to murder the East Palace, and even hired a killer for her own use.
It's ridiculous, no, it's just horrible, ridiculous!
The officials and powers involved from top to bottom, some are for money, some are for profit, and some are famous, and one wrong step is a disaster.
"This is the deer line, the snow elk will knot with the placenta when producing the fawn, and when it is not cooled, it is immersed in the igneous rock and mixed with cotton leaves to remove the fishy smell and condense into a small nucleus, which is said to make people stay young forever and glamorous, there is no snow moose in the Dayan Dynasty, this is the tribute of the Yu family, and it is more difficult to detect the confusion between the deer and the agarwood." It is not strange that Concubine Yuan's incense is added to the Yu family's tribute, but why does the King of Jin have it, and the man is not interested in the woman's youthful and glamorous statement, which is intriguing.
"Even if the King of Jin is contaminated with Luxingzi, there are so many people who enter and leave the Xia Palace, and even His Majesty often settles, you don't necessarily doubt the Son of Heaven." Qin Zheng pursed his lips.
"You're right, the courtiers are curious, Concubine Yuan Niangniang is now the leader of the Six Palaces, in the final analysis, she is just a woman who can't interfere in politics, why does anyone want to put her to death," Fang Cai's arrow is aimed at, and the sinister intentions are well known, "Niangniang also has children under her knees, just ask the women in the harem who don't expect their children to be the prince of Longsun who will one day ascend to the throne, but the concubine is different." β
It's not the same.
She was like smiling at a game of chess that had already been laid out, and she didn't plan for her two young children every move, and she was tolerant and generous as if she were a perfect person in the world.
In this world, there is no perfect person, which can only show that her abacus is in another person.
All the dots are not connected, but if you string them together and just click on them, you will find a canopy that you have never seen before.
"Lu Yixin is not stupid." She snorted.
She's not stupid, she's too cunning.
Qin Zheng choked in his heart: "You are not stupid, you are afraid that you will die, which party can tolerate half a point of suspicion." "Who is Concubine Yuan, what kind of person is King Jin, once they find out that Lu Yixuan's careful thinking is not as soon as he kills, or is it that the girl of your Lu family wants to run to the Holy Lord to make a righteous and awe-inspiring generous statement, saying that the tens of millions of concubines and the King of Jin are not, who will believe it-no, it is that you can't come up with direct evidence at all, everything she has is just speculation, speculation, and it is a statement that cannot be said in front of the Ninety-Five.
In this deep palace, Dali Temple did not manage, Ren An did not manage, the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not manage, and even the Son of Heaven did not put his beak, but you stood in the middle of the six palaces and pointed to the court and trained hundreds of officials to turn over the dirty blood to see the skin and bones.
The truth?
Bullshit truth.
Some people beg to be alone, some people are willing to go with the flow, the hedgehog of the Lu family likes to go against the current, the king of Jin has regarded her as a thorn in his side, and if she can't win over, she will be removed, so why should she get into trouble.
Qin Zheng didn't know whether the anxiety in his heart was because of her words or the consequences that were about to be caused, and the worry and eagerness he admitted were related to Lu Yixin's life.
"I, Lu Yixuan, am just a third-class guard, how can I offend His Royal Highness the King of Jin," she lazily walked across the scenery, but Qin Zheng felt a chill behind her, "In less than three or five days, there should be no wind and waves in this court." "Lu Yixuan's words are conclusive and confident, Lord Qin, you can take a good look.
Qin Zheng's forehead slowly oozed cold sweat, and he didn't feel hot at all under the banquet on a sunny day, and the little girl could give you a flat thunder without being silent and silent.
It's that he underestimated Lu Yixuan, no, Xu is everyone looked away, you think she is easy to handle, coercion and temptation are no different from others, she can turn her head and backhand the sword, rather than break the jade than the tile.
Qin Zheng didn't know what the so-called windless waves were, until five days later, he heard a few adults talking outside the Golden Hall of the Imperial Court, and Cheng You rarely chatted with people about mushrooms, so he patted Zhou Jiming's shoulder stupidly.
"It was Zhang Kan and Liu Shu who privately seized the Tang newspaper excerpts from the two provinces, and they couldn't complain about Lord Ren, who knew that His Majesty Long Yan was angry at this court meeting, this is not an obvious excuse." Zhou Jiming frowned, obviously no one had eaten good fruit in the dispute.
Qin Zheng stepped forward to inquire and found out that someone secretly played the Son of Heaven and said that it was the six parts that seized the excerpts of Mo He's officials, and the Son of Heaven spent two hours in front of all the courtiers to turn the entire six parts upside down.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the whole court did not dare to make a sound, check - check for me, which dog thing with no eyes dares to detain it privately, just on this golden palace, no one will fall one level at a time, I wait!
No, the six departments rushed into a group of Shenwu guards, and they didn't catch it, but there were three more corpses that committed suicide in fear of crime, and the panicked petty officials left a suicide note saying that they were careless and negligent at that time and did not report it, and the crime deserved death, so they had to commit suicide by hanging the beam to calm the anger of the public.
Oh, wonderful, I don't know who I'm trying to help with the disaster.
Now, Lord Ren is also sweating, Lao Zaifu has never made any major mistakes in power for so many years, and now he has lost all his old face in front of the Son of Heaven, and there are some useless wastes under his hands to deceive and conceal the subordinates, you-Ren Zaifu, are you the one who knows or the one who is deceited?
The court trembled and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, begging for mercy, watching from the wall, proving his innocence - that was really varied, to put it mildly, I haven't seen such a lively court meeting for many years.
Qin Zheng chuckled in his heart, as if he had missed a good show, looking at the panicked faces of these people, he also knew how terrifying Fang Cai's situation was: "How many adults can know-" Who is on the secret fold, there must be a head in this matter.
Cheng You smacked his lips and shrugged: "Don't say, don't ask." The old man shook his head and paced away.
Zhou Jiming looked at the back of the shriveled old man, he bumped his elbow against Qin Zheng, and his eyes finally glanced at the gate of the Golden Palace, if you look carefully, he is not looking at the Golden Gate but at the few little eunuchs standing by the gate, Zhou Jiming sighed and walked forward without speaking, but Qin Zheng understood.
Hundred cheeses.
