Chapter 162: It's all at a price
The man froze down, and then turned over his palm from his sleeve, and there was a strand of shiny hair falling from the palm of his palm, which Qin Zheng had just discovered from the bloody face of the corpse and secretly hid it.
When the sharp knife and dagger stabbed down towards Lu Yixuan, it was not Qin Zheng who saved her, but the silent thing in the darkness that almost grabbed the human eyeballs out of the sockets, visible under the moonlight, the long fur of the animal was black and soft, Qin Zheng frowned, and suddenly rolled down his sleeves and held his hands behind him.
Jingle jingle bells.
In the middle of the night, there was a hairpin carriage with gold ears and silver bells slowly coming from the darkness, the window jade * beads were swaying, and the curtain of dark brocade was lifted, and Qin Zheng knew who was coming.
"Your Highness the Princess." He bowed, respectfully, there was no surprise in his tone, and it was a matter of course that the Dali Temple had become the most lively place in Shengjing City, whether it was a powerful person or an assassin, everyone was eager to intervene.
Mingyue's carriage was not galloping, and it was obvious that he had been waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time.
"Lord Qin, don't you ask, why is this palace here late at night?" Mingyue tilted her head and was delicate, her gold silk embroidered shoes lightly trampled on a layer of dust, the pride of the sky was jade, her gaze crossed a serious Qin Zheng and fell in the brightly lit Dali Temple, but she didn't have any intention of stepping forward, "She has offended a lot of people, some people are envious and jealous, some people hold grudges, in their eyes, the Lu family is an outlier." The little princess's words were three points of stupid casualness, she knew very well the situation of the Wei State Mansion and also knew how the powerful people in the court and the royal relatives of the Lu family were viewed in the rumors of the entire Shengjing City.
Who has not made a mistake in this world and bribed, what is gold and silver, gold and silver are human favors.
But what about Lu Yixuan, with the self-righteousness of doing her own thing, she rejected all of Shengjing's flattery, she thought this was done by a righteous gentleman? No, it's just a stubborn little fanatic, and look at now, except for falling into the well, who can help you when you can't reach it.
Mingyue is a delicate woman in the deep palace and inner garden, and she understands the "big truths" of officialdom, and she is biased to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the little princess in confusion, Mingyue was very calm, as if to say, Lord Qin, this palace is not just the unreasonable little girl in your heart who is only jealous and jealous.
"What does the princess have to teach you?" Mingyue's words are targeted.
"Don't dare," the little princess chuckled, the peony on her bun was particularly enchanting and amorous, and it was a little dazzling, "Lord Qin is extremely smart, why is he so stupid and dull at this moment, why is Lu Zhongsi imprisoned?" β
"Dagong Maiden Meijia," Qin Zheng said when he saw Mingyue raise his eyebrows, he suddenly paused, "No, it's He Jin." β
Lu Zhongsi was not convicted because Mei Jia left a suicide note and committed suicide in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but because He Jinhe presented the so-called conclusive evidence.
"Then, who is He Jin?" The little princess blinked as if she liked this kind of "you ask me answer" game, every sentence seemed to be induced step by step, she saw Qin Zheng stunned, shrugged her shoulders and said without hesitation, "He Jin has been full of officials, he is also a rich and wealthy man, but he likes to drink and have fun, from time to time he always asks people to grab the handle and impeach two sentences, and over time it is not strange to see it, he is a native of Boyi, and his ancestors moved to Shengjing to settle down," the little princess talked eloquently while her fingertips around the beads falling from her hair bun, pacing gently, Just like the little gentleman who is teaching in the school, "Ming Mian occupies the position of a Yingwu Palace, and has a lot of relationships with the big business houses in Shengjing behind his back, and his third uncle He Chain is a famous local rich armor in Boyi, well, when there was a plague in Shengjing City, He Lian collected all the medicinal materials in Boyi and the surrounding mansions and transferred them to Shengjing's business house at a low price for emergency relief, which made him fall a lot of good stories in the business road of the royal capital, and now this hand is deep into Shengjing There are also many ways. β
Merchants have merchants' doorways.
Qin Zheng was completely stunned this time, the little princess who had never been able to play with her temper actually checked the inconspicuous He Xiaolang overnight.
Mingyue raised her head a little arrogantly, she liked Qin Zheng's admiration for herself, and liked the focused gaze that suddenly flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, compared to his mind always sticking to the girl surnamed Lu, the little princess was very greedy for this feeling of being noticed.
"Although Lu Zhongsi has been convicted, isn't this even before he is executed, and some people want to be alone," Her Royal Highness the princess took a deep breath and turned her head, "If you want to investigate Lu Zhonghe, you have to drag He Jin into the water first." She made up her mind, who was the first to oppose the water, who was the first to confess, then, he didn't want to escape, Mingyue clapped her hands, her palms fell out of the sound, and the little maid beside the carriage, Bizhen, had already stepped forward with two blue seals, "This is a trivial record of He entering and exiting the palace gate and Sheng Jing and the palace maid Meijia in the inner court in the past two years. "Even if there is no personal affection between those two people, there must be an inextricable connection.
Bizhen lowered her head and handed the book forward, this is a palace record, only this one volume, whoever gets it has the so-called "initiative".
Qin Zheng's eyes shook a little hesitantly, tonight's little princess was not at all like the unruly and delicate girl he had known for several years in his impression, her unusually thoughtful and responsive answers, and even, even her thoughts were no longer aimed at Lu Yixuan - Mingyue's words and deeds made Qin Zheng extremely confused.
The little princess was not annoyed when she saw him stunned, and waved her hand with a smile: "Bizhen, burned." "Since Lord Qin "turns a blind eye", let's not stick a hot face on people's cold farts * stocks, she is no longer stalking, but quickly cuts through the mess.
Qin Zheng was stunned, and when he saw the moment the fire fold burned, he subconsciously couldn't wait to stop: "Slow!" β
"Smack", Mingyue's hand pressed on the blue seal first, and the little princess's beautiful eyes were like a jade-faced little fox under the moon, and her mouth sighed with "tsk": "Lu Yixin has a saying that is right, the good of Shengjing City has a price." "Her Royal Highness the princess condescended to help you, Lord Qin, to save the "fiancΓ©e", could it be that she suddenly showed great compassion.
No way.
The corners of Qin Zheng's lips tightened, he was speculating about Mingyue's intentions.
The little princess held her head high, her eyes hit his pupils impartially, and she didn't dodge back down at all, as if she suddenly caught a way to deal with this man: "This palace has no grievances and no enmity with Lu Yixuan, and there is no reason to put her to death." β
The little princess has learned to be obedient, coercing and seducing instead of messing around, and she hits the bull's-eye.
The fire in Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, his Adam's apple moved up and down, he took out the bronze sparrow gold bead from his sleeve, and threw it hard in front of Princess Mingyue, the gold bead broke through the air and drew a wonderful arc, and the next moment it disappeared into the grass - the little princess didn't like Qin Zheng to use so many excuses to welcome and refuse, let alone the meaning of this gold bead and the man's "self-deception".
Mingyue's willow eyebrows stretched and finally smiled brightly, snapping her fingers on her hand, Bizhen had obediently stuffed the scroll into Lord Qin's arms, she straightened her back refreshed, and was carried by Bizhen into the carriage, jingling bells, silver bells sounded crisp and gradually disappeared in the alley.
Qin Zheng's face was not half happy, he didn't rush to look through it, he just grabbed the book and didn't know what he was thinking, and it took half a cup of tea to ease his thoughts: "Someone." He whispered, and the old servant who had been waiting in the side path bowed his back.
"Young Master."
Qin Zheng threw the scroll into his arms, whispered a few words in his ear, and finally advised: "Personally, be fast." β
Although the old servant of the Qin Mansion didn't understand his young master's intentions, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded his head and drove the carriage behind him.
Run counter to.
This night looks no different from the past, the trouble in the Dali Temple did not set off a moment of waves in the court and Shengjing City, but the Cheng family will never give up, even the Yuan Concubine Niangniang has been crying in the Xia Palace for the past few days, and she is talking about it, Miss Cheng and herself are like sisters, and when she first entered the palace, she also visited the garden with her to enjoy the flowers gave herself a lot of comfort, and now the head of the husband who is deeply righteous and righteous was cut off by a girl's family, Lu Yixuan, that little fanatic is simply despising the royal law and ignoring the emperor's authority, and he must not be spared.
The court was not at peace, and the harem was also in dire straits, so the saint stroked his forehead and said: Then Lu Yixuan, what do you have to say?!
After reaching this step in the field, still refusing to bow your head and admit your mistakes?
The people of Dali Temple knelt on the ground, yes, yes, there was only one sentence for the girl of the Lu family.
Murder pays for life, and it is justified.
The fist of the Son of Heaven smashed on the case, shocking the people below in a cold sweat and a chill down their backs - the backbone of the Lu family's body is simply pampered and arrogant! What's the matter, after saving the prince, saving Shengjing, and saving the people of the two provinces, I thought that I could act arbitrarily, when Lu Zhongji was imprisoned, it was already extraordinarily gracious that he did not implicate the entire Wei Mansion, but now, there is no remorse and stubbornness!
Thinking about this period of time, there are many officials in the court who ask for leniency in the criminal law, but what about her, she doesn't know what it means to endure the calm for a while, and she has to rely on that useless pure and arrogant bone to force herself to death!
The Ninety-Five Emperor was tired of being annoyed, and the original mercy and tolerance had turned into contempt and anger, not to mention that the wind blowing on the pillow of Concubine Yuan Niangniang added fuel to the fire.
The cold wind permeated the Golden Temple, and the candles were not extinguished.
The old eunuch Wang Defu also had a sad face, His Majesty was not showing his face, the Duke of Wei and the Cheng family were full of sketches, you live and die, Lu Zhongqi's case was tried without intention, and Lu Yixuan's murder crime was really full of human and material evidence.
The servant brought the hot tea to the table: "Your Majesty, don't hurt your mind anymore......"
The Son of Heaven is working hard, and Grandpa Wang also adds a lot of worries and distress.
