Chapter 326 (2nd Watch)

The officials trusted the squire and ordered to send people to find a five-grade official named Qingyun in the south, for Cui Youliang at this time, Lord Li found his own place to send people, but he didn't dare to let go of a fart.

Now that the Xu family is a piece of chicken feathers, he has to shrink back and try not to attract attention.

If you are looking for someone, you will find someone, this person named Qingyun and the few Lang Zhong at the beginning, he remembered that he was thrown into the river to feed the fish. No matter how those people look for them, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a trace of him.

Qingyun has not found it, and the sons and brothers of the Xu family in the prison of the Criminal Department are festering more and more, and a few of them can't stand it and go crazy.

More and more ministers in the court advised the emperor that the matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and some people even said that they had directly burned down the prison of the Criminal Department. Shangshu of the Criminal Department cried with a sad face and said nothing, and when someone asked him about the current situation of the Criminal Department, he cried again.

Yuan Zhiheng took advantage of the night to discuss with several righteous brothers, and it was time for the temple case to be revealed to the world.

The little novice of the Great Xiangguo Temple died of starvation, and behind it was a shocking case of greedy ink. The case was tried by Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History.

Due to the complete evidence, the trial of this case went very smoothly.

Just the day before the case was closed, a carrier pigeon released from Wan'an Palace appeared in the sky above Yuan's mansion, and Du Xiaozhu, who was squatting on the wall and had been prepared, took a slingshot and knocked the carrier pigeon down.

Diancui took the note handed by Du Xiaozhu, unfolded it and looked at it for the first time, only to feel that the blood in his body had coagulated, and all the sounds in the outside world were stagnant.

"Madam, Madam......" Dongxue and Xin'er called in succession, and it took a long time for Diancui to come back to his senses, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and he trembled all over:

"My Brother Yun, my Brother Yun'er......"

Her look like this only made everyone's hearts fall to the bottom, it was the little young master Yun Ge'er who had an accident!

Dongxue didn't care about it, picked up the note that fell on the ground and looked at it, there was only one sentence on it, the young master of the Yuan family and the son of the Xu family suffered from the same disease, the Xu family died, the Xu family lived, and he still had a breath of life.

"Such a crazy woman, how could she be so vicious, the little master is less than a year old, how can she be so vicious......" Dongxue immediately sat on the ground and cried.

Xin'er also hugged her and cried.

"Shut up!" Dian Cui was already bloodless, trembling all over, but his brain was unusually clear.

Emperor Xu's note is clearly what she and Yuan Zhiheng want to see, and now the temple case is about to be closed, if the case is closed, the Xu family will be a felony, even if they are beheaded, they will be exiled according to the law. Miao Zhu is a loyal dog, and he has not confessed to Emperor Xu after so many punishments, but according to Emperor Xu's favor and trust in this temple in the past, if you want to say that Emperor Xu did not participate in this matter, fools don't believe it.

Xu Huanggui is procrastinating, as long as this case is not closed, he will not be able to cure the Xu family's crimes, and the old emperor's energy has been worse every day recently, and the matter of passing on the throne is imminent. So she went to the prison of the Criminal Department, took the clothes of a son of the Xu family, and threw them into the house of the grandmother who hugged Brother Yun'er......

"She can drag it, but Brother Yun can't drag it." Dian Cui is convinced that what Yuan Zhiheng judged is that those sons and daughters of the Xu family are not suffering from smallpox, but cowpox, and Brother Yun is still saved, she must save it at all costs!

"Madam, do you want to come back from your look?" Dongxue wiped away her tears and asked softly.

Dian Cui shook her head, no matter how big or small, she had to rely on Yuan Zhiheng for everything, and this time she wanted to rely on herself once.

In Wan'an Palace, Emperor Xu's face was thin, but a strange and cruel light flashed in her eyes, and at the same time she was very awkward, how majestic her Xu family was, in the end, she wanted to tie her life to a young official who had no foundation.

"Niangniang, the lady of the Yuan family is kneeling under the nine-fold gate, and it has been a day, and people have fainted for two sessions." Mama Ai whispered:

"The people under the Ninefold Sect are coming and going, I'm afraid it has already alarmed the saint."

Emperor Xu sneered, now that the saint can't bear the summer heat, she went to the summer resort in the north, even if she knew, she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of it, so she knelt down.

"Is there a letter over there in the third division?" Emperor Xu asked leisurely, she was waiting for Yuan Zhiheng behind Diancui, waiting for him to compromise.

"I heard that there was an idea on the side of Dali Temple, and the case will have to wait for another day." Mama Ai said.

The smile on the corner of Emperor Xu's mouth was even stronger, it seemed that she had made the right move, and this Yuan Zhiheng really had his hands and eyes open to the sky.

In the evening, the eunuch who went to the Jiuzhong Gate to visit the priest hurriedly came back and reported: "The woman was so bold that she preached under the Jiuzhong Gate that her son had smallpox in the Wan'an Palace, and for the sake of her mother's life, she also asked the mother to send the child back and hand it over to her mother, and then she took the sick child and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and whether she lived or died was completely up to the will of heaven." ”

Diancui shouted over and over again under the nine-fold gate, and the people who only shouted were panicked, and the guards guarding the city gate did not dare to step forward to stop them, only by these words reached the ears of the people under the imperial city, and it spread in the capital in less than a day.

"How dare she!" Emperor Xu slapped the table and said coldly: "But it's useless for her to do this, go and tell her that the child has smallpox in my palace, and it will inevitably infect others, and I am thinking of finding a proper way to deal with it." The matter is in a hurry, and His Majesty will not blame if he knows about it. ”

The eunuch passed the words in his half-yin and non-yang tone, and pointed to Diancui who was kneeling on the ground as if he was half disgusted and half admonished: "You, wearing a sinful body, our mother can see you, and you will die of this heart." ”62

"This father-in-law, there is no need to disturb the mother, our lady just wants to see the little young master, the little young master is sick, and it is inconvenient for others to take care of him, so why don't we take it back......" Dongxue begged, and stuffed a heavy gold coin into the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch weighed the gold in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, you go back first, and then we will ask for instructions on the meaning of the imperial concubine when we go back, and go back and wait for news." ”

Even though he knew that what the eunuch said was just a lie, Diancui and Dongxue supported each other until it was completely dark.

Yuan Zhiheng sat in Dali Temple for a day, no one dared to come forward to say more, and finally got up and said I will go to find her back.

"Brother-in-law, don't go, my sister said that I won't let you get involved in this matter." Gui Bonian stopped him, and everyone knew that Emperor Xu's intention was to wait for Yuan Zhiheng to bow his head and retreat.

Yuan Zhiheng stood stunned for a moment, finally stood up and took his big coat, and said softly, It's cold at night, I'll go and send her a piece of clothing.

Gui Bonian watched his brother-in-law's figure disappear into the night in a hurry, sighed several times, and slammed his fist on the table, which shattered two bone china teacups as thin as cicada wings.

Let's say that Yuan Zhiheng smeared under the gate of the Nine-Fold Palace, but he didn't see anyone who was Diancui, so he asked a guard, and the wife and the maid beside her went back before the defendant was half-burnt incense.

Yuan Zhiheng sighed slightly, and now even he couldn't figure out whether he had sent a sigh or was very sad.

"Stop, the prison of the Criminal Department will not allow others to set foot in it! You, you, stand still, there's someone in there...... Sick people should not come near ......"

At the door of the prison of the Criminal Department at night, the guards looked at the two "people" who were dressed tightly and wrapped their heads, faces and even hands around like madmen.

These two people should have come in over the wall, and the guards surrounded them and were about to arrest them, when Shangshu of the Criminal Department ran over with a smoke: "Don't move, don't move, don't move!" ”

These two are the master and servant of Diancui who have knelt down from the nine-fold gate for a day and begged for a day.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department cried with a sad face, turned his head to Diancui and said: "Mrs. Yuan, you said that you want to come to my Criminal Department, just let someone notify you, how can you survive...... Let's go back quickly, it's ominous, ominous. ”

"My lord, we are not here to make trouble," Dian Cui took off his hat and said politely: "There is a prisoner in the prison of the Criminal Department who is a relative of my maid, I heard that he is sick, and the two of us are here today to see the patient, and I will leave after saying a few words." ”

This kind of nonsense, Diancui doesn't make drafts, novices make it up, and the criminal department is not a fool, these two people came in over the wall in the middle of the night, just to see a maid's relative, who believes it?

But this is Lord Yuan's wife, and now he is thinking about surrendering to King Gong, and he naturally would rather be able to make friends and please the Yuan family than be easily offended.

was blocked at the door of the prison, Dian Cui was not annoyed, took out a page of accounts from his sleeve, and the criminal department Shangshu took it and looked at it, and the old face immediately turned red and white for a while.

I remember that it was the loser's mother-in-law and a few daughters in his family, and the accounts that bought the head in the Angelica Pavilion were all on credit. The few uneasy ones in his family approached the arrogant mothers-in-law of the Xu family. Su Rili didn't learn, and what he learned was some tricks that couldn't be put on the table, and now he was found at the door.

It's so embarrassing, how embarrassing.

Dian Cui didn't seem to see his embarrassed face, and whispered: "The reason why the maid and I didn't come to the main gate today is really for the sake of adults, and we won't stay long, just a stick of incense, and the two of us have prepared enough, to ensure that we won't be contaminated with anything bad." ”

Lord Shangshu's face finally relaxed, he raised his hand, the guards stepped aside, and Dian Cui and Dong Xuefu were dressed tightly again and stepped in.

"You, you two follow...... Lord Shangshu pointed at two guards at random, and these two had to think that they were unlucky and followed carefully behind them.

After entering the prison, Diancui and Dongxue went straight inside, and before the two guards could stop, they went to the cell where the sick sons of the Xu family lived. The guards did not dare to approach, but watched from a distance, and their hearts beat drums.

The current scene made them even more dumbfounded, only to see one of them take out a meat bun from the cloth bag and put it at the door of the cell, and sure enough, the son of the Xu family inside slowly crawled over.

They had such a terrible disease, and the people who brought them food every day were also forced to come once every two days, and they threw some rancid steamed buns from head to toe, and ran out.

Now a meat bun makes the invincible son of the Xu family crawl over like a dog.

The guards couldn't help but be amazed, and it could be seen that the two people outside took the bun back and made a strange gesture and gestured......

I saw that the son of the Xu family began to undress, and the brocade robe that was dirty and unclear on the outside took off, and he was wearing only a middle coat.

A man outside took out a hook, hooked out the clothes that looked dirty but were actually terrifying, carefully put them in an oilcloth bag, and tightened the opening. And the son of the Xu family got the bun as he wished, and he ate it in a big gulp.

The two of them carried the long rope of the oilcloth bag and walked out leisurely.

Passing by two stunned guards, he threw a bag of silver over, and walked away regardless of whether the guards dared to ask for it or not.
