Yuan Jingli was completely relaxed at this time, and said with a smile: "What zongzi did Weitong bring today?" Is there a fourth uncle I love to eat Jiangmi date dumplings? ”

"Naturally, there are chicken dumplings, eight-treasure dumplings, and bean paste dumplings, all of which are loved by the fourth uncle."

The jailer next to him saw Yuan Weitong handing the basket in, estimated that the time was about the same, and said loudly: "Hey, it's time, let's go!" ”

Yuan Weitong didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly left a sentence of "The fourth uncle is waiting, and my grandfather will naturally take care of it", and left in a hurry.

When he walked out of the prison, he had just gotten used to his eyes in the dark, and he couldn't get used to it for a while. Raise your hand to block out the sun, and then get into your own carriage.

There was also someone in the carriage, it was her sister Yuan Yunwen.

"Big brother, is the matter done?"

Yuan Weitong narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and then said, "Wenwen, you'd better tell me the truth of the matter." ”

"Big brother laughed, where is the truth? The fourth uncle's imprisonment is corruption and dereliction of duty, and there is an outer room, what does it matter to me? ”

Yuan Yunwen had a smile on her face, but her words were cold.

Yuan Weitong was a little irritated and said: "If it has nothing to do with you, why do you want me to hide it from the fourth uncle, he is likely to be exiled?" ”

"That's what my grandmother meant, and besides, the road to exile is long and requires a lot of silver. Grandmother still wants to work hard, can she be dismissed from her post and not exiled. ”

Yuan Yunwen pushed it all away, and Yuan Weitong couldn't do anything about her.

"Wenwen, if the disaster of the fourth uncle is really caused by you, you better stop it. I don't want the whole Bofu to be buried for your ambition. ”

Yuan Yunwen said coldly: "Big brother, I didn't ask you to do anything, don't worry about me." Now that Cousin Jinse has said that she will help me, my grandmother is confident, and you, the eldest brother, are still here to pull back? ”

"I don't know why the young lady of the Wang family would help you. But Wenwen, if something happens to someone in the family, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone. You must know that Bofu is our root, something happened to Bofu, the tree fell and scattered, and everyone did not end well! ”

Yuan Yunwen just looked at the eldest brother coldly and didn't reply.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Yuan Jingli's verdict came down, because of corruption and dereliction of duty, as well as violations of the law of etiquette, so he was dismissed from his official position, removed from his reputation as a jinshi, and exiled to the northwest.

As soon as the decree came out, it was immediately executed, and on the same day, Yuan Jingli was taken out of the edict, directly shackled, and escorted to the northwest by two officials.

The news was sent to Cining Palace, and Empress Dowager Zhong said lightly: "Get the confession, and kill the person on the spot." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Therefore, Yuan Jingli was just in Shili Pavilion and said goodbye to his family. With his mother's promise and the dream that someone would take care of him in the northwest, he was blocked in the grove by two men in black.

Seeing the appearance of the man in black, the two officials fled in a hurry, and were hit in the back vest by two sleeve arrows, and fell to the ground and died.

Yuan Jingli is a scholar, where has he seen such a scene, he was immediately frightened and incontinent, fell to the ground softly, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you and what are you going to do?" ”

"You don't care who I am, just tell me, is it your idea to add vajra seeds to the lotus seeds?"

The man in black asked directly, which made Yuan Jingli realize that there were already people who doubted it, so this time the flying disaster really originated from the lotus seed.

He trembled, "It's not me, it's not me. ”

A man in black took notes and asked, "Who is that?" Is your sister or your mother? ”

"Neither, neither. I didn't add adamantium seeds. ”

Yuan Jingli's trembling voice did not stop the other man in black from approaching. He was half-lying on the ground, his hands kept back, and the man in black watched him make his last struggle as if he were a dead man.

Seeing that the man in black was about to step forward and grab him, Yuan Jingli, who was retreating, suddenly "pounced" backwards and fell into a trap dug by an unknown hunter.

This change was unexpected by the man in black, and when he went down to the trap to scoop up Yuan Jingli, he found that his neck was crooked to the side and he had fallen to his death.

The two men in black glanced at each other, then simply threw him back into the trap and turned to leave.

When they had gone for about a while, a man came out of the depths of the grove, frowned at all this, and turned to leave, he wanted to hurry back to report to his master.

When Wang Lang saw his subordinates half-kneeling in front of him, telling him what happened in the grove, he was shocked that this matter was tricky.

Originally, Wang Lang just thought that Yuan Jingli was unlucky, and when Emperor Hong Zheng was angry, he made a punching bag. So when Yuan Yunwen came to beg, she made a favor and arranged for them to visit prison.

I didn't expect that there was another hidden story in this matter, if it wasn't for another fine worker who returned to Beijing, he happened to enter the grove first, and was concealed by Yuan Yunwen.

Wang Lang is not a stupid person, and he is familiar with the situation in the palace, and after a little thought, he knows that the man in black is afraid that he is the person of the Empress Dowager Zhong. Because he was suspicious of lotus seeds, he came to Yuan Jingli to ask the truth.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jingli died unexpectedly, so I have to find someone else to ask the truth about this matter.

Wang Lang knew that Empress Dowager Zhong was not a soft-hearted person, so the next step would definitely be an accident between Mrs. An Ning Bo and Yuan Yunwen. This matter should be reported to the prince to see how the prince decides.

In the Yinghua Palace, Yan Rongling frowned: "It's the people of the Yuan family who replaced the lotus seeds?" ”

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, Empress Dowager Zhong is already suspicious, so she chased and killed Yuan Jingli to take a confession."

Yan Rongling combed through the matter back and forth, but still felt that something was wrong: "But the Yuan family is afraid that they are incapable, and they sent nails into the palace thirty or forty years ago." ”

"Maybe Zhao Xian is indeed not the Yuan family, but the Yuan family is indeed involved in this matter. I have already checked that the lotus seeds in the imperial dining room, from Jiangnan to the imperial dining room, there are five people who handle them, and one of them is Yuan Jingli. ”

Wang Lang reported truthfully, Yan Rongling pondered for a moment, and said, "The Yuan family knows, who is the person who wants to kill Mingzhu?" ”

"I don't think the entire Yuan family knows. An Ningbo is timid and afraid, not like someone who dares to assassinate Princess Mingzhu. On the contrary, it is more like that Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Yunwen knew the mastermind behind the scenes, and then helped add fuel to the fire. ”

Wang Lang has already made up his mind to let Bai Jinse stay away from Yuan Yunwen when he goes back, this woman seems to be weak, bold and poisonous, it is better to have less contact.

Yan Rongling was a little contradictory, it was said that she knew that Yuan Yunwen was related to someone who wanted to kill Mingzhu, so she should be allowed to die immediately.

But his own plan, just a few days later, Yuan Yunwen's existence is an important part. If she dies now, then Xiao Yao will have less fiancée, and Mingzhu will not be disappointed in Xiao Yao.

Yan Rongling thought about it, and finally said: "Hold your troops for the time being, and wait for the Queen Mother's birthday to pass." In the next few days, you go to the women's prison and find someone who is similar in size and appearance to her, and keep it for later use. If she is really related to the person who conspired with Mingzhu, Lone must personally entertain her. ”

"Yes, Prince. Then Sima Yushi, will he be the queen mother? ”
