Chapter 232: The sudden premeditated plan
Su Jiao's heart was all on Yang Ruopei, so she didn't notice anything wrong with Xiaolian's expression, and Mu Rong waited for the smiling face to put down the teacup and pulled her to the door and asked in a whisper.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't Mrs. Su wake up, and my family respects the elders so much, it is impossible to treat them so harshly, and they are not allowed to pass it on, could it be that something happened to Yang Hou? ”
The previous words, Xiao Lian only pursed his mouth when he heard it, and when he heard the last sentence, he was really big, his eyes grabbed Murong's hand in a hurry, Murong saw her reaction like this, and his heart guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
"Sister Mu Rong, don't ask again, Lord Xiao told us not to mention this matter, so as not to make Mrs. sad again. It's just that I didn't expect Miss to come over so soon, it's really inconvenient for us to disclose these things, so let's wait for Mrs. to wake up, please don't ask again. ”
Mu Rong startled Xiaolian, but it was not good to see her so sad and pleading, so she continued to persevere, and only nodded slightly.
Su Jiao frowned slightly, looking at Yang Ruopei distressedly, thinking that she would be reunited with another family after leaving. You can sit back and relax, but you really can't escape the ending set in the original book?
When Su Jiao was distracted, Yang Ruopei suddenly moved, her head kept shaking, and there were words in her mouth, "Big brother-"
"Mother, mother, it's me when you wake up, what's wrong with them, uncle?"
Su Jiao startled her, for fear that she would be in a nightmare, so she quickly shook her shoulder gently, Yang Ruopei slowly opened her eyes, but before she could see who the person in front of her was, a few bean-sized tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Thinking that when she was forced to be forced because of her marriage, Yang Ruopei's intersection and resentment, and when she broke up with Master Su later, she never shed a single tear, if she was not sad to the bottom of her heart today, how could she show such a fragile side.
Su Jiao looked at the feeling that her heart was getting more and more uncomfortable, and she roughly guessed what the situation was, but she couldn't be sure what happened, Mu Rong also noticed Yang Ruopei's tears, and rushed up to support Su Jiao's arm.
"Madam, since Mrs. Su has woken up, there are still some things on our side, so let's go back first and let Mrs. Su recuperate."
Su Jiao was puzzled for a while, and turned her head to meet Mu Rong's eyes, but Mu Rong shook her head gently. She had a clear idea, so she had to let go of her hand in agreement, and while Yang Ruopei was not fully awake, she told Xiaolian a few words and asked her to take care of her, so she returned to her room with a heart full of worries.
After their master and servant returned, Mu Hibiscus, who was sent out to investigate the situation, also used his previous friendship with Xiao Huai'an's subordinates to inquire about something.
Mu Hibiscus ran into the house excitedly, poured herself a big sip of tea, and looked excited as if there were many words hidden in her stomach, but a pair of Shang Su Jiao's eyebrows were full of sorrow, and those words instantly choked in her throat, making her a little embarrassed to say it.
"Okay, don't sell it, I can't hold anything up, just say it."
"Then I really said, Madame, don't be too excited."
"Say it."
Su Jiao was full of anxiety for her, and hurriedly patted the pillow under her hand to urge, and Mu Hibiscus clapped her hands over, sat on the small low stool opposite her, and said slowly.
"Well, I don't know who reported to Your Majesty that Yang Hou colluded with the people of Nankang and intended treason, and then Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of Yang's Mansion, and as a result, a large number of messy letters were found."
"It is also said that the plague that spread into the city from the outskirts of the city was also caused by the fact that the person who died of illness in the Yang Mansion was buried in a mass grave on the outskirts of the city. Therefore, His Majesty concluded that Yang Hou had ill intentions and intended to rebel, and had already detained Yang Hou and Yang Gongzi. ”
"What?!" Su Jiao was taken aback, Mu Hibiscus said this very quickly, the original intention was to make Su Jiao not understand for a while, so she explained slowly, but she didn't expect her to hear clearly in an instant.
The method of framing Houfu this time is not exactly the same as the one in the original book, but it is also very similar, such as this method of framing the court officials for colluding with foreign parties to plot rebellion, I am afraid that all dynasties and dynasties will use it badly, and it is such a hundred trials and tricks, and it is impossible for people to parry.
Su Jiao gasped, couldn't help but hold the cube pillow embroidered with gold thread with one hand, he had already prepared in his heart, so he didn't feel too shocked, but he could imagine how devastating Yang Ruopei would be when he heard the news, and it had always been Xiao Huai'an who had spent a lot of effort to save Yang Ruopei from the risk of being detained.
"In that case, I have to thank him a lot."
"What?" Mu Hibiscus didn't understand what she said for a while, and after asking, she pulled Su Jiao back from her memories.
Su Jiao calmed down and tried to pose calmly, but her brows were still tangled in one place for a moment. "You can tell me everything that happened today."
The corpse that was salvaged from the carp pond in Yangfu that day, judging by Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong, did detect that this person seemed to be sick, but looking at the symptoms of the corpse, it was not similar to the epidemic that broke out this time, and now they insisted on linking the two, which was too unwarranted.
Hibiscus nodded, cleared his throat, and spoke while holding a cup of tea in one hand.
It turned out that this morning, when the court was in power, in the past two days, because of the epidemic, the people of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked, not because of how the epidemic was difficult to treat, but mainly because of the fear that the emperor would be angry.
I never thought that I was in the early court today, but I saw the emperor's solemn and deep thoughts, it seemed that it was not only for this epidemic, but also for the things next to me.
Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but notice something strange, and looked at the Manchu Dynasty again, but found that everyone else was also confused, and Yang Fujian and Yang Huairen were not there.
He raised his eyebrows and asked the nearby military department Shangshu Margo. "Why don't you see Yang Hou and Yang Gongzi today?"
Hearing this, Ma Ge also glanced back and then suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "Ah, I remember, it seems that His Majesty issued an order last night to ask Yang Hou to be responsible for counting the number of soldiers in the capital, and how to train in the future, as for Yang Gongzi, first, he has no position, and second, he can go to Yang Hou as a helper, so they don't have to come over this morning." ”
"I see."
After hearing this, Xiao Huai'an still had some doubts in his heart, the emperor had always been suspicious of the Yang family, how could he entrust such an important matter to them.
Moreover, he looked around again, and found that Jinshan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was not here.
He felt more and more confused in his heart, and it was easy to wait for the emperor to end the early dynasty, symbolically called several ministers to discuss the control of the epidemic, and he took a break and left the palace early.
Outside the White Tiger Gate, after waiting for the ministers to leave one after another, Liang Xin had already led two horses and waited there for a long time. Xiao Huai'an rolled his eyes, walked a few steps outside, and suddenly stopped Liang Xin.
"I have a premonition of uneasiness in my heart, you don't have to go with me for a while, just go to the Houfu first to see what is going on, but if there is a little trouble, come and report to me quickly."
"Yes." Liang Xin has never disobeyed his orders, and he never asks more questions, so he turned the horse's head around and quietly walked down the path to the backyard of the Yang Mansion on the street without anyone noticing.
And Xiao Huai'an returned to his post first, instructed the people below, and acted according to the original plan and requirements, so he also found an empty hand and rushed to the front door of Yang's mansion.
At this time, as Xiao Huai'an guessed, Jin Shan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, did not come to the court because he received an order from the emperor to send someone to search the Yang Mansion.
At this moment, his search had just ended, and he looked at his subordinates with a solemn face, and took out a small wooden box from Yang Fu Jian's study in the Yang Mansion, which was full of all kinds of letters and transactions.
Yang Fujian frowned, grabbed Yang Huairen, who was about to step forward to reason with Jinshan for a while, and bowed his hand politely, although the situation was a little embarrassing, but the aura around him was not affected by half a point.
"The records of trade transactions here were collected by Ben Jiang from others, and as for the letters exchanged between Ben and Ben Jiang, please check them out."
"What Yang Hou said, the official will naturally investigate it clearly, but the law of the court is here, and the official has to act according to the law, come and take down Yang Hou and Yang Gongzi."
Jin Shan put his hands behind his back, although he looked young, he acted decisively, and he was better than the previous generations of soldiers.
He has always admired the Yang family's rebirth in adversity, such an indomitable spirit, but after all, he also has a position, and it is impossible to indulge easily for his own personal feelings. So even if he couldn't bear it, he had to order someone to take down his father and son.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of approaching horses' hooves from behind, and Jin Shan heard the sound and saw Xiao Huai'an sitting on the horse, and drank before he reached the front.
"Wait."
Jin Shan saw that it was Xiao Huai'an, but he hoped that he could have a way to clear up the grievances for the Yang Mansion, so he waited quietly for him to come to him.
Xiao Huai'an turned over and dismounted, and after only a glance, he knew what was happening, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and exchanged polite hands with Jin Shan.
"Lord Jin, what is this doing, didn't Yang Hou just received an order from His Majesty last night to prepare and plan the training of soldiers in the capital, if there are many soldiers in the palace, it is reasonable to think about it."
As soon as he heard this, Jin Shan knew that in fact, he didn't know anything, so he pursed his mouth in embarrassment, lowered his voice, and explained a little closer to him.
