Chapter 273: The Poison of Acacia
Xie Yaohui resigned, Jian Fan was ordered to be in danger, and immediately fell into a complicated political matter, mainly to raise grain, grass and armaments. Emperor Jiaxing made people cut off the grain and grass armaments of Zhongyi Gong and King Xuanwu, but the imperial court could not help but prepare to deal with the war that would face Anguo after killing people with a knife. It is also necessary to select suitable officials, or promote or transfer, which will lead to a series of personnel changes in the ministry.
Although Xie Yaohui resigned, Emperor Jiaxing was not relieved, and ordered two Long Yin guards to secretly monitor him, and immediately returned when he found an abnormality.
Xie Yaohui returned home, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took the treasured wine, took a carriage, and braved the snowstorm to go to his mentor Su Xiche to drink.
Su Xiche is close to old age, and he was also an official to Zaifu before he said goodbye, and his eldest daughter is Sumilion Princess Su Molin, and his eldest son Su Qingsong married Liang Xinming's adopted daughter Liang Chaoyun. Although he was old at home, he was very concerned about the situation in the court.
At that moment, when he heard his disciple say that he had resigned, he was taken aback, and couldn't help but blame: "Since you are not at odds with the person surnamed Lu, you should not resign." It's time to spend it with him! You are the prime minister, and your means are not bad, are you afraid of him? β
Xie Yaohui took a sip of wine and said, "What's the benefit of consuming it?" No matter how many means the disciple has, he can't compare to Liang Qingyun. She has worked hard all these years, openly and secretly, except for how many traitors? In addition to one after another, the surname Zhang was punished, and the surname Lu came again. The emperor wants to use them, so what! β
Su Xiche knocked on the table and said, "If you persist to the end, you will be better than her!" β
Xie Yaohui poured another glass of wine, and did not respect Su Xiche, he picked it up himself, raised his head and drank it all, his eyes were red, and there were tears flashing, "If you continue to fight, it will be useless for the country, there must be a decision......
Su Xiche asked, "What decision?" β
Xie Yaohui will tell him about the palace.
At the end, he said: "If Lu Chang can help the emperor rejuvenate the country, the disciple will only be pleased, and this resignation will be right; If the country is ruined because of thisβ" He paused at this point, and then said sadlyβ"The disciple has done his best! β
Su Xiche couldn't help but be stunned.
Is Dajing really a disaster to destroy the country?
Xie Yaohui can resign, his son-in-law Zhao Yin is the King of Vermilion Birds, and he can't avoid this dispute, what should I do? His heart burned.
Su Xiche was stunned for a while before asking, "The emperor promoted Jian Fan?" β
Xie Yaohui nodded: "Yes." β
Su Xiche said: "I'm afraid his promotion doesn't taste good." β
It's not just bad, it's just annoying.
On this day, Jane was busy until dark before she came out of the palace, and when she returned to the mansion, she ordered Huo Huangying to go to the study to serve the pen and ink.
Originally, he planned to return to Beijing and then received Huohuangying, but who knew that he would enter Beijing, and the news of Li Hanyao's rebellion was also transmitted to the capital. He was reprimanded by the emperor, how could he have the leisure to take a concubine; Moreover, Huo Huangying was born in the dust, he brought it from Jiangnan, he is on the cusp, if he is known by the imperial history, I am afraid that he will be impeached. So he gave the fire maiden to his wife, who taught her the rules and said it later.
He was promoted and promoted with a belly of worries, he had to sort it out well, he didn't want to be disturbed, these days, from Jiangnan to the capital, Huo Huang Ying accompanied him, this woman was very much in line with him, so he still ordered Huo Huang Ying to come.
Who knows, Huo Huangying is sick.
The government has just invited a doctor to come for treatment.
Diagnosis and treatment result: poisoning!
Jian Fan didn't expect that the court was full of murderous machines, and there was a fire in the backyard of his house, and he was immediately furious: only a few days after returning home, there was a fatality!
He fought at night and tracked down the murderer.
He once served as a man in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, and then went to the local prefect to serve as a procurator for criminal punishment, and then served as a secretary in the Ministry of Households.
Huo Huangying was poisoned only after eating almond tea. At that time, she took a small bite of almond tea, and because she was talking to the little maid Jin'er, she asked Jin'er to prepare needlework and embroidery bandages, and she finished eating good embroidery. - In the past two days, she began to learn needlework. After a few words, I felt abdominal pain and difficulty breathing. Jin'er hurriedly went back to Mrs. Jane. Mrs. Jane hurriedly called the doctor to come and treat him.
Jian Fan was shocked - he fell unconscious after taking a small bite, and if he had eaten all the bowls, he would only be able to see a corpse when he came back.
After torturing the kitchen staff, I learned that this almond tea was not only eaten by Huo Huangying, but also given to every room, and even Mrs. Jane ate a bowl. Jian Fan understood that someone targeted Huo Huangying and put it in her bowl alone.
The doctor checked the bowl of leftover almond tea, and it was indeed highly poisonous, because if the almond was not concocted properly, it would be poisoned if eaten, so he thought that the almond poison in the fire phoenix was poisonous, but Jian Fan saw that the fire phoenix was blue, and said categorically: "This is acacia!" β
Acacia seeds, also known as red beans, are highly poisonous in their seeds.
In the almond tea of Huohuangying, there is ground acacia seed powder. Thankfully, she only took a small sip; When the doctor came, he saw that it was poisoned, and although he didn't know what poison it was, he tried to induce her to vomit first, which saved her life.
Jian Fan tortured the kitchen man and the maid's daughter-in-law who left the kitchen before the incident, and everyone said it conclusively and didn't know. However, Jian Fan's eyes were so sharp, he had already seen that Aunt Jiang's maid's red sleeves looked unnatural, so he ordered to search all rooms, even the lady's house, but secretly instructed the housekeeper to carefully search Aunt Jiang's house, and found a small bag of acacia seeds.
Jian Fan interrogated the red sleeves.
Red Sleeves came in and knelt down in the hall.
Jian Fan stared at her, but did not speak.
Red Sleeves waited for him to ask, but he never waited for the question, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and he couldn't stand it for a while, trembling.
Jian Fan said softly: "This official is aware of everything, and he will never wronged a good person, nor will he use a slave to replace the master in order to cover up the ugliness of the family." What do you know, just say it, the lord is in charge for you; If you don't say it, the lord finds out, then it won't be your business alone, and your family will be implicated. - Even if they are in the Jiang family, they don't want to escape from the hands of their own officials. β
Red Sleeves trembled and said, "Ming, understand!" β
Jian Fan said: "Raise your head." β
Red Sleeves raised his head to look at him, only to see that his face was as white as jade, and his chin had three beautiful beards, which did not show that he was old, but made him elegant and a little majestic; With deep eyes and insight into people's hearts, he is more charming than those young sons, and he has been impressed early.
Jian Fan asked: "Where did my aunt's acacia come from?" β
Redsleeves replied dumbfounded, "From a merchant on the south side of the street." β
Jian Fan asked, "Does she know that this thing is poisonous?" β
Red Sleeves said, "The merchant said." But my aunt liked it very much, saying that lovesickness is like blood, and when I saw it, I remembered my lord, and I could solve lovesickness. β
Jian Fan was silent after hearing this, and then said after a while: "It's really chilling to think about using the lovesickness for me to kill people. When the Fire Maiden first arrived, why did she become murderous, and how did she poison the Fire Maiden? β
Red Sleeves was shocked and frightened, her face was already full of tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "The self-fire girl is here, and my wife personally brings her by her side to teach the rules." Aunt Jiang saw that she didn't like her, and privately ridiculed her for being cheap. The fire girl's mouth is also unforgiving. Aunt Jiang was very angry, and when she came back, she fell east and west, and said that the fire girl was ...... It's a fox...... Seduce the lord. He also said that the fire girl did not know how to be inferior and offended. said that the court is not peaceful, if it is known that she is from a dusty background, the master will be unlucky......"
