Chapter 375: Suspicion
How much the emperor wants to find the king of Shunyang, all the officials know it, and the queen mother, that is, he can't find the king of Shunyang, and he can't rehabilitate the former prince, and she can't turn a blind eye.
This piece of jade pendant, the old lady of the Protector's Mansion has eight points of certainty in her heart, which is the piece that the emperor gave to the king of Shunyang, but eight points of certainty is not enough, and it needs to be ten points.
The Duke of Protector looked at the jade pendant, and asked which old minister was suitable in his mind, after all, this jade pendant had disappeared for twelve years with the King of Shunyang, and twelve years was enough to forget most things, not to mention that it was just a jade pendant.
There are several candidates in the heart of the Protector of the Kingdom, but none of them are suitable to ask, can he ask the Protector of the Motherland? He had to find someone from the Yasukuni Gong to do it.
There is also the old prince Jiang, the protector doesn't even want to go to the Hejian Palace, and the rest of the old ministers are close to these two, although the granddaughter of the old prince Jiang has married the prince of Jing'an, but he will never let go of such a good opportunity to atone his guilt.
The Lord Protector pondered and said, "I think it's better to send it to the imperial tomb, so that those old palace maids and eunuchs who have served the emperor can see it more securely." ”
"It's fine," agreed the old lady of the protector.
This jade pendant is very important, and the Protector sent several secret guards to escort him to the imperial tomb.
It has been confirmed again and again that this is the piece that the emperor gave to the king of Shunyang.
The secret guard returned home to tell the protector, the protector was overjoyed, he found the jade pendant of the king of Shunyang, is the king of Shunyang still far away?
"Call the officials of Suizhou into the palace," the Lord Protector commanded.
Besides, Suizhou officials, in the inn is not at ease to stand, sit and sitting, this time he has made a bloody effort to please the protection of the country, so he thinks that he can find a Beijing official, no matter how bad it is, he can transfer him to a state and county with a lot of wind and rain.
This happily went to give gifts, but the old lady of the protector looked at Yu Pei with a serious face, and he didn't dare to ask more, so they sent him away.
Don't give the wrong gift.
The officials paced back and forth, cold sweat stubbling after stubble on their heads.
There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled him, and he only heard the little guy say, "Master, the Protector Mansion has sent someone to invite you to the Protector Mansion." ”
The official left in a heartbeat, and hurriedly went out of the door, "What can you say about looking for me?" ”
"Didn't say that," the little guy shook his head.
The official didn't dare to delay, hurriedly went downstairs, and saw that it was the manager of the Protector's Mansion who came to pass him, so he hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket and said, "I don't know if the grandfather of the country is looking for me?" ”
The steward smiled, "It's not a bad thing. ”
But as for whether it is a good thing, he does not know.
Grandpa Guo wants to find the king of Shunyang, but the eldest girl in the house has a marriage contract with the king of Shunyang, the king of Shunyang has been living abroad all these years, God knows what he looks like, what talent does he have to learn?
In case it is a cockfighting and dog walker, the marriage given by the emperor, the eldest girl will not be able to regret the marriage.
Although the granddaughter of the old prince Jiang divorced, there was no news of King Shunyang at that time, and it was a time and a time.
Sitting in the carriage of the Protector's Mansion, the official was invited to the Protector's Mansion and met the Protector in the study.
After saluting, the official looked up, and the official saw the jade pendant, and the protector asked, "Where did this jade pendant come from?" ”
The official was stunned, a little hesitant.
The Protector frowned, "Tell me the truth." ”
The official's knees weakened in fright, and he knelt down directly, and said tremblingly, "It was a kid from a pawnshop in Suizhou who injured someone and was imprisoned by the lower official, this jade pendant is, it is a ...... bribing the lower official to release and release the person." ”
The law of the imperial court strictly prohibits officials from accepting bribes, and although this is a matter that has been repeatedly prohibited, it cannot be put on the surface.
He really saw that this jade pendant was of good quality, and wanted to find a good errand, otherwise he would be willing to give it to the protector.
Who thought of a piece of jade pendant, scared him half to death.
The official was scared, "But, but what's wrong with this jade pendant?" ”
The Protector put down the jade pendant and said, "This is the jade pendant of the King of Shunyang." ”
The official's eyes widened, "Shun...... King Shunyang's? ”
"Get up." ”
The good things in the hands of these officials are all people's fat and people's ointment, and the protector doesn't expect him to know where the jade pendant came from, so he can only ask for a rough idea, so that he can follow the vine and touch the melon.
The Protector handed over the jade pendant to the secret guard, "Quickly go to Suizhou to find out." ”
The Dark Guard was ordered to leave.
The protector told the official not to leak a word, otherwise he would be killed, and the official repeatedly promised and retired.
He left with his front foot, and the proprietress of the Splendid Workshop came to the study with his back foot, and the protector saw her and said, "You don't care about your injuries, what are you doing in the study?" ”
The proprietress looked at the protector of justice, "I heard that you have news of King Shunyang?" ”
The Protector frowned.
Although he took in the people of Jinxiufang and let them recuperate in the mansion, he also sent people to watch, and they actually knew about the matter of King Shunyang?
The Protector is a smart person, and his eyes are cold and he said, "It seems that you have already arranged someone in my Protector's Mansion." ”
The proprietress walked to the side of the Protector and poured him tea, "I have a special identity, and I can't afford to take a wrong half a step, I have to know whether Grandpa Guo is worth cooperating, right?" ”
"I just want revenge, and I don't have any intention of the Protector Mansion."
"At this point, the protector can rest assured."
The fact that she did not deny it is enough to prove that she is open.
The proprietress brought the tea to the protector, and the protector was just about to reach out to take it, but the proprietress put down the tea, jumped up, and went to the beam.
The Protector's brows twisted and couldn't be loosened, and at this time, the door creaked open, and the Protector walked in.
The Protector looked at her and said, "Why are you here?" ”
The Duchess of Huguo stepped forward, smelled a faint fragrance, and said, "I'm worried, King Shunyang is out, and he can't even protect the jade pendant he carries with him, once he is recovered, what will Yan'er do?" ”
The Protector only thought of recovering the credit of King Shunyang, but he didn't think so much, he said, "This person hasn't been found yet, you are worried so much, can I still treat Yan'er badly?" ”
The Duchess of Huguo was not at ease, "I think why don't you take advantage of the fact that King Shunyang has not yet recovered and help Yan'er return her relatives first?" ”
If the king of Shunyang is not bad, then Yan'er will marry again, if it is vulgar, this family right should be treated.
The Duchess of the Protector thought very well, but the Duke of the Protector would not listen to her, and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with at hand, you go back first, let me think about this matter slowly." ”
The Duchess of the Protector also knew that this matter was urgent, so she took the maid and retreated.
The front foot of the door was closed, and the back foot proprietress jumped off the beam, and the protector smiled, "You are understanding." ”
The proprietress walked to the side of the Protector and continued to bring the tea to the Protector, "The grandfather of the country respects Mrs. very much, if Mrs. blows the wind on the pillow, my sisters in Jinxiufang will lose their place of refuge, how dare I make Mrs. Zun unhappy?" ”
The proprietress is not very old, and she laughs with a unique charm.
The protector reached out to take the tea, and his hand inadvertently touched the proprietress of the proprietor, the proprietress quickly withdrew her hand, and her cheeks rose with a touch of suspicion.
The protector was about to speak, but the proprietress jumped and jumped out of the study directly.
The Protector felt a little inexplicable, but the door was opened again, and the Protector went and turned back, and the Protector couldn't let go of his brows, "What's wrong?" ”
"The veil has fallen," said the Duchess of the Protector.
She picked up the embroidered handkerchief from the chair, and glanced around the room with her eyes, didn't she say that the proprietress of the splendid workshop was in the study, why didn't she see anyone?
The look of the Duchess Protector was too obvious, and the face of the Duchess Protector was a little heavy.
The proprietress of the splendid workshop followed the rules, and hid in fright when she heard her footsteps, lest she misunderstand, but she was so suspicious.
