Chapter 139: The Wuzhou Incident
"Nonsense. You're just arguing with words. At that time, all the people present were women, and there were few people who knew martial arts. And there is only one concubine who has a dispute with my sister, how can other people hurt my sister for no reason! He Qianqian retorted loudly.
"Lord Fu Yin, may I ask if the cause of Miss He's death has been ascertained?" Shen Yafei was also reluctant to act with He Qianqian anymore, and didn't want to waste time in these boring disputes. It's this time, she hasn't eaten lunch yet, and she's hungry. She just wanted to get things done now so she could go home for lunch.
"This······ Have you found the cause of Miss He's death? Fu Yin looked at the man who was checking the cause of He Miaomiao's death.
"Lord Hui, the preliminary judgment is that he died of drowning." He knelt on the ground and replied, "However, there is a very strange thing, that is, there is not a drop of water in Miss He's body. This does not match the characteristics of drowning. ”
After listening to the words, the people present were surprised and discussed one after another. Fu Yin and General He also felt surprised, because after listening to He Qianqian's description, they had already determined that He Miaomiao had drowned. Now he said that He Miaomiao's body did not show signs of stagnant water. This is impossible, ordinary people who drown have stagnant water in their bodies.
He Qianqian's eyes turned in her sockets, and she had a flash of inspiration: "At that time, when my sister was just rescued, a mother-in-law in the Lin Mansion cleaned up the stagnant water in my sister's body. ”
"Yes, yes, I saw it at the time." The ladies and ladies of each family remembered the situation when He Miaomiao was first rescued.
I see! Everyone suddenly realized.
"But there's another strange thing." He didn't know if he was sure, so he didn't know whether to talk about it, but after thinking about it, he still expressed his doubts, "Actually, the symptoms shown by Miss He seem to have drowned. But again, but ······"
In fact, no one knows what kind of symptoms this is, he has seen many people killed first and then thrown into the lake, but He Miaomiao's situation seems to be more complicated. He felt that He Miaomiao's death was not so simple, and he was really worried that he would be silenced if he had spoken out his suspicions. After all, the lady of the daughter present, the person who dared to calculate the concubine of General He and the princess of the Liwang Mansion must not be simple, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he was worried that he would be hated, and this little life would be difficult to protect. That's why he speaks.
"What?" Fu Yin knew that things were not so simple when he saw the expression, so he asked.
"Miss Ho's symptoms don't look like she's struggled in the water, but like she can't move as soon as she enters the water. And her body seems to be abnormally weak, which is why it will lead to rude struggles. He secretly shed tears and broke out in a cold sweat, and replied honestly.
Hearing this, He Qianqian's eyes that were hidden under her eyes rolled in a panic.
"How is it possible, although my daughter is not a martial artist
learns geniuses, but she has also learned martial arts from generals since she was a child, and her body is even more incomparable to that of ordinary young women. She is usually rarely sick, and she seems to be able to generate wind when she walks. How can it be that the body is weak? A few days ago, I asked the imperial doctor to ask the people in the house for a safe pulse. The doctors all said that the little girl's body was very good, how could it be weak? Mrs. He retorted anxiously.
"What could that be? Can you see any clues? Fu Yin looked at Qi Zuo and asked.
"There is a mark on Miss He's ankle that has been injured by something, and the mark is new, and it will not take more than half a day to form. The position is exactly on the degree of the ankle, maybe because of the ankle hit? "He is also a little confused, because he did not see any symptoms of poisoning in Miss He, so the possibility of poisoning can be directly ruled out. Then the biggest possibility left is that it was controlled by someone with an acupoint.
"The acupuncture points on the ankles are unlikely to weaken the body. At most, it will make people's body weak and weak at that time, but it will not affect people's physical health. Yan Lijun felt that the statement was wrong, and couldn't help but stand up.
"Yes, what Yan Gongzi said is right." I also remembered it.
"Can you please help the little girl take a look, what is going on with her?" When General He saw the expression of the man, he knew that he couldn't see what was going on with his daughter, so he wanted to ask Yan Lijun to help take a look, and he also wanted to find out the culprit who killed his daughter.
"No problem." Yan Lijun readily agreed.
Yan Lijun was saluting Fu Yin, Fu Yin nodded at him, and Yan Lijun walked towards He Miaomiao. took it down beside her, first checked He Miaomiao's face, cavities, and eyeballs, and then checked the pulse. Then, he took out a thin and long silver needle and pricked it at several acupuncture points on He Miaomiao's body. That silver needle was the longest and thinnest one that Shen Yafei used when she took Gu for the prince.
Princess Lang and several women of the Lin family exchanged glances with each other.
Yan Lijun pricked He Miaomiao's body a few times, and the silver needle he took out did not react at all. Yan Lijun was reluctant to give up, and his intuition told him that He Miaomiao was probably drugged. When he saw He Qianqian's feet move a few times in a panic, Yan Lijun was even more convinced of the conjecture in his heart. So Yan Lijun very calmly lifted the long needle again and pierced it into He Miaomiao's heart. The movements were fast and accurate, and when the slender silver needle was taken out of He Miaomiao's body, I saw that a small part of the tip of the needle had turned black.
"How so?" General He and Mrs. He were surprised when they saw the silver needle turn black.
Shen Yafei looked at the black part of the silver needle in Yan Lijun's hand, her eyes narrowed, she thought that if she flicked the acupoint on He Miaomiao's body a few times, the poison in He Miaomiao's body would not disappear so quickly, but she didn't expect that the poison left in He Miaomiao's body was only so little. This poisoned person is really not simple!
Now, the court is also full of wow.
"How can it be poisoning?"
"That's right, wasn't Miss He drowned?"
"So Miss He didn't drown."
Yan Lijun put the silver needle in front of his nose and sniffed, stood up and said to General He: "The most important part of Miss He's death is this poison, as well as the injury on her ankle. The injury to her ankle hastened the onset of toxicity in her body. So the real cause of Miss Ho's death was not drowning. ”
"And what kind of poison is in her? Could it be poison at the flower-viewing banquet? General He felt uncomfortable for a while, and asked in an unsteady tone.
"It's impossible, it happened today, and the poison on Miss He should have been around for a while. As for what kind of poison it is, it is not clear. Yan Lijun replied, "But the ingredients in this poison can be distinguished." The medicine contained in the ingredients is a kind of grass, which is not found in our Celestial Empire, and is only available in a small country on the edge of the western border. ”
"So this matter has nothing to do with the princess of this world. Then the prince of the world will not bother Lord Yin to handle the case, and the prince and the princess will go back to the house first. Xu Shizi got up from the chair when he heard this, he didn't care what kind of poison He Miao Miao had, anyway, it had nothing to do with Xiao Ya. He didn't want to waste his time on that.
Xu Shizi pulled Shen Yafei to stand up, nodded to Fu Yin and was about to leave.
Seeing that Shen Yafei was about to leave, He Qianqian immediately stopped in a hurry: "No!" You can't go yet! ”
Xu Shizi didn't even look at He Qianqian, but just looked at General He: "General He, just now Yan Gongzi and Qi Zuo both said that there was a place on Miss He's ankle that was injured by something, which made Miss He's body weak. This Shizi thinks that this is the reason why Miss He fell into the water. The princess of this world is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and she doesn't even know the internal strength, so how can she order people's acupoints. Therefore, this matter can easily prove that this matter has nothing to do with the princess of this world. ”
Xu Shizi continued: "And this maid beside the princess only has brute strength, and she can't do this kind of fine work. Also, the princess of this world has never had a deep relationship with Miss He, and it is impossible to poison Miss He early, not to mention this poison, is it possible for the princess to get it. All these show that the princess of this world has nothing to do with this matter. If you have to say that the princess has a dispute with Miss He, if she wants to take someone's life just because of this little thing, the princess of this world is not so idle. General Ho, what do you think? ”
"The prince said that the princess doesn't know martial arts, so won't she?" It was disrespectful for Xu Shizi to leave on the spot like this, and General He was not happy.
"If General He doesn't believe it, I'll trouble you to ask someone to find out." Xu Shizi said frankly and generously.
General He remembered that Mrs. He had said that the people in the palace had given it before
Shen Yafei has seen it with the maids around her, they don't know martial arts, in fact, it is only because she grew up in the mountains and mountains that she is so agile. However, at this time, General He was not willing to give in, so he asked He Yinyin behind him to go up and show Shen Yafei and Dabao, and He Yinyin shook his head at General He. General He no longer stopped Xu Shizi from leaving.
After Mrs. He's people in the Liwang Mansion left, she also sorted things out. She understood that in fact, this matter was aimed at He Miaomiao, and Shen Yafei was just the scapegoat for killing her daughter. Mrs. He had been thinking about the poison in He Miaomiao's body for a while, and she thought of the maid who was waiting by He Miaomiao's side. Mrs. He got up and kicked over, still unrelieved of her hatred, and Mrs. He grabbed the maid's hair and pulled her up from the ground, and slapped her hard with her other hand.
"Little slut, how do you take care of your young lady?" Mrs. Ho was furious.
When General He saw Mrs. He spilling regardless of her image, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately let people stop her. What a shame on him! The wife of a dignified general, in the public court, in front of so many ladies and ladies, is actually a "little slut", which seems too uneducated! General He's face was already so dark that he couldn't see it, and Mrs. He was also worried when she saw it at this time, so she quickly quieted down and stood obediently beside General He.
General He is not just a rough man, he can be invincible on the battlefield, and there must be a plan. So after Yan Lijun diagnosed the cause of He Miaomiao's death, he knew what was wrong.
In the end, He Miaomiao's personal maid made a scapegoat and was beheaded. Of course, she is not necessarily innocent.
After returning home, General He also made a judgment and investigation based on the people who targeted Shen Yafei on the spot, and soon he knew who was the enemy and who was the friend.
I heard that after General He's family returned home, He Qianqian was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall that night. The next morning, he suddenly fell ill and was bedridden. To the outside world, he said that he missed his sister, missed his illness, and soon died, and was buried in front of He Miaomiao's first seven days.
He Fu has experienced this series of events, and General He has aged a lot all of a sudden.
However, these are all rumors outside, and Shen Yafei has not seen them with her own eyes. That's because Shen Yafei came back from the Beijing Yamen at that time and never went out again. First, she was worried about being calculated and didn't want to deal with trouble, and second, she didn't like those who cheated in the capital. Therefore, after Xu Shizi strictly forbade her to go out, she obediently stayed in the house.
After a few days, the matter of Wuzhou reached the heavens, and the emperor was furious when he saw the information on the secret report.
"Peng!" A teacup was thrown down by the emperor.
The bodies of the ministers below trembled, and they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on? It's been more than half a year since this incident in Wuzhou, why is the information sent to the palace now? How did you become an official?
Target? What are you eating? If you can't do it well, go home and farm for me! The emperor slapped the table and shouted.
"Now that the matter in Wuzhou is very serious, what good ideas do you have?" After the emperor's anger was over, his tone eased.
"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that it was best to send someone who was enough to represent the court to rectify before the outbreak of public anger! And also brought a team of experienced doctors to follow. In this way, he can appease the people, and secondly, there is a certain authority, and the government there does not dare to touch him. Lord Lin stood up and admonished.
"Lord Lin has a recommended candidate?" The emperor asked.
"There are many noble and capable people in our capital, so it would be good for the emperor to consider it. The old minister was at the mercy of the emperor's arrangement. "Lord Lin is an old fox, he came up with his own ideas, and finally handed over the decision-making power and offending things to others, and he was always reluctant to interfere.
"What is Zhong Aiqing's opinion?" The emperor threw the question back to the main hall.
"Well, King Lang and King Yuan have been sitting on things recently, and the prince is not in good health. It's really hard to choose! A pavilion elder of the Langwang party said.
What are these words······ No matter how it sounds, it seems that there is only one choice for King Ning.
"Minister, I don't agree." Lord Zheng stood up against it, "The minister thinks that these princes are the most noble people, and their identities are so noble. The evil disease in Wuzhou came strangely, how could they let the prince go? Therefore, the minister thinks that the proposal of the elder is inappropriate! ”
"It's not right for Lord Zheng to say that, the princes are all covered by the heavenly family, where is that kind of evil qi that can be corroded? Besides, if the most honorable masters are not sent, how can the officials there be obedient, and if they are not obedient, it will be even more difficult to rectify them. Doesn't this chill the hearts of the people? The elder said with a sad face.
"We can send men of majesty. For example, you are Ge Lao, your identity is also very noble, and you used to be the teacher of the prince of my dynasty! Besides, you are going with the emperor's order, who dares to be disobedient, how can the emperor's majesty be there! What can their mountain farmers be disobedient to! Master Zheng said solemnly.
"But it will take time to clean up the officials. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the lives of the people there are. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to send a noble person over, so that the people there would not dare to disobey, and it would be much easier for him to do things! The elder said steadily.
"The minister thinks ······" Lord Zheng still wanted to refute.
"I think Elder Ge's words are reasonable." The emperor directly interrupted Lord Zheng's words, "Do you have anyone you can recommend?" ”
There was silence in the court again, and people began to shrink their heads again.
"Do you have any suggestions?" The emperor directly named him.
"Minister, minister, there is no suitable candidate." In words. He knew that the emperor and the elder of the pavilion meant that they wanted them to recommend Ning
The king or the prince went. Although this is a meritorious thing, it is also a life-saving errand. If the usual work was good, he might have supported the crown prince and King Ning to win people's hearts, but now this is a fatal thing, and he definitely doesn't support it.
"King Ning's recent errand has also been completed. He did a great job in the suburbs of Beijing before. If there is such an outstanding person as King Ning to handle the affairs of Wuzhou, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Lord Ren said with an appreciative face.
As soon as Lord Ren said this, even a small number of officials of the princeling party nodded silently, and the emperor also agreed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers do not approve. King Ning had just completed a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Now I must be very tired physically and mentally, and I am afraid that I don't have the energy to deal with the affairs of Wuzhou. "Yan Xiang still came out to object.
What do you mean by this? Things in the suburbs of Beijing have been going on for a long time, and even if King Ning is tired, it is time to rest now. Now that the country is in trouble, King Ning, as a courtier of the Celestial Empire, should make a contribution. Now that the court needs him, King Ning is undoubtedly the best candidate, how can he use physical exhaustion as an excuse? The elder said with a righteous face.
"Listening to the elder of the pavilion, it means that there is no one else in the Celestial Empire except for King Ning who is a capable courtier, right? A few days ago, the elder of the pavilion praised King Lang's talent in the court, which is unique, and he is a rare political talent in the world. Now that there is something, how can it be said that there is no capable person except King Ning? Could it be that a few days ago, the elder praised King Lang for being hypocritical? Yan Xiang snorted coldly.
