At that time, Su Ruan was holding spices in his hands and followed Mrs. Xie to learn how to make incense.

After Xie Qingheng's words fell, the room suddenly became quiet.

Mrs. Xie looked up at Mother Liu, who quickly got up and retreated with the things on the table, and then dismissed the maid ring outside the door and stayed outside the warm curtain by herself.

Only then did Old Madam Xie ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Qingheng said: "The youngest son of Bo Xi, the second eldest of the Bo family, got drunk and killed Uncle Guiyuan. ”

"Uncle Gui Yuan had handled the disaster relief in Jingnan two years ago, and there was a dispute with the Bo family at that time, and this time after Bo Xi's youngest son accidentally killed him, the Bo family protected Bo Xi's youngest son, and Uncle Guiyuan's family quarreled with the Bo family."

"Gui Yuanbo's son resented his father's death, and directly sued Bo Xi to Dali Temple, saying that Bo Xi had sent people south two years ago when the official ship for disaster relief and grain transportation sank the Nanhe River, and that the official ship was also made by Bo Xi's shipbuilding department."

"Uncle Gui's son said that Uncle Gui had privately told him two years ago that the official ships that were heading south at that time were not loaded with grain and disaster silver at all, but sand and gravel, and the grain and disaster silver that should have been transported to the south had already been secretly replaced by Bo Xiren, and were not transported to Jingnan at all."

"That ship must be sunk, otherwise when you arrive in Jingnan, what you will see is a boatload of stones, without half a grain of grain or half a tael of silver."

Old Madam Xie suddenly felt a chill when she heard this.

Even if she didn't care about the affairs of the government, when she heard that the Bo family was actually doing something on the disaster relief food, it was not an ordinary shoddy thing, but directly used sand and gravel to pass off as food, and she immediately couldn't help but scold:

"These brutes!"

Su Ruan had already guessed the answer, but his face was very calm: "So the hundreds of escorts on the official ship at that time were also killed?" ”

Xie Qingheng nodded with a cold face: "They were already dead before the boat sank, but when the body was fished out of the river, the person who came out to conduct the autopsy was also bought by Bo Xi's people, so it was said that those people drowned in the river." ”

"At that time, the Bo family was in a high position, with Bo Xi in the back, and Bo Chong, those people were hastily buried, if it wasn't for the people who returned to Yuanbofu to poke it out this time, I'm afraid that no one would ever know the truth about the sinking of the official ship."

"Heh......"

Su Ruan couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "They did a really thorough job. ”

Xie Qingheng knew that in the matter of Jingnan at the beginning, Su Xuanmin died in vain, and the matter of the household department two years ago was not so simple.

But he never thought that the people of the Bo family would have such a bottom line, you must know that in the natural disaster in Jingnan at that time, there were thousands of people who died?

If they use their hands and feet in the disaster silver and disaster relief food to make profits, will they not be afraid of the thunder and thunder of the sky, and will be claimed for their lives by the unjust souls of the people and soldiers who died in vain?!

Old Madam Xie was the most jealous and hateful, and slammed the table and scolded "brute" several times, while Su Ruan was even more expressionless.

Therefore, once the human heart becomes evil, it is really inferior to animals.

Xie Qingheng waited until Mrs. Xie finished venting before continuing to say in a deep voice:

"Uncle Guiyuan's son is bent on avenging his father, and he directly made a big deal about it, and among the witnesses sent by King Rui from the Criminal Department were the shipbuilders and the post-mortem worker."

"The criminal department sent people directly to the saint, and the emperor was furious, not only put Bo Xi's family into the prison, but also angrily reprimanded Bo Chong in the court."

"Although Bo Chong's position as a scholar is still there, as long as he catches Bo Xi and makes him speak, the entire Bo family will not be able to escape."

Su Ruan frowned tightly: "Where is Bo Xi locked up now?" ”

Xie Qingheng said: "The prison of the Criminal Department ......"

Su Ruan asked again: "Then who is the criminal department who poked out the witnesses this time?" ”

Xie Qingheng pursed his lips when he heard this: "It's not the Criminal Department, it's my uncle." ”

"Shen Xiang?!"

Su Ruan raised his head violently, his face shocked.

Those people are in the prison of the Criminal Department, how could Shen Xiang know?

Xie Qingheng frowned and said: "I don't know the specifics of this matter, but I just heard Gu Min say that my uncle had been investigating an old case before, and this time the person who testified against Bo Xi was the one that his uncle wanted to investigate, and when my uncle went to the Criminal Department to identify the other person, he directly recognized it." ”

"Uncle asked a few words, but the thief was weak-hearted, thinking that my uncle was asking about the post-mortem examination of the officers and soldiers who rhymed with disaster relief money and food two years ago, and later sank the Nanhe, and he was directly frightened."

谢青heng says:

"After you gave me the news before, the prince was originally pressing this matter, afraid that the eldest prince would use this matter to pull him into the water, so he wanted to let Shi He come out, but who knew that his uncle would poke the matter out so coincidentally."

"Gu Mincai was at the scene at the time, and this matter couldn't be concealed at all, plus the matter on Bo Xi's side broke out, Gu Mincai couldn't wait for Shi He to come out, otherwise he was afraid that he would be accused of not reporting it, so he could only send people to the Holy Front."

Su Ruan raised his head and said, "In other words, in the end, it was Gu Mincai and the prince who came out?" ”

Xie Qingheng nodded: "Yes." ”

Su Ruan's eyebrows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts.

She heard Qi Wenfu say that the witness would be sent to the Criminal Department, and after mentioning Gu Mincai, Su Ruan gave Xie Qingheng the news, and specially sent a letter to him to remind him that this matter should not be mixed in, let alone be used by Shi He, so that the prince could be the first bird.

At this time, the eldest prince was unlucky, and the second prince would not end well, and the prince rashly mixed in, not only making enemies with the second prince, but also attracting attention from the eldest prince.

At that time, Emperor Xuan's eyes will inevitably fall on the prince, thinking that he is involved in the affairs of the household, and he will feel that the prince is taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

Su Ruan just wanted Xie Qingheng to remind the prince to avoid it, but she didn't expect that things would have been going well, but Shen Fengnian suddenly got involved.

In the last life, was Shen Fengnian investigating any old cases?

And how could things be so coincidental?

Seeing Su Ruan's appearance, Xie Qingheng couldn't help but say, "Ruan Ruan, what are you thinking?" ”

Su Ruan shook his head: "It's nothing. ”

Xie Qingheng followed the prince, the Shen and Xie families had a close relationship, how could Shen Fengnian deliberately harm the prince, it is estimated that it is really just a coincidence.

Su Ruan brushed aside the doubts in his heart and said to Xie Qingheng: "Then what is the situation on the second prince's side now?" ”

Xie Qingheng pursed his lips: "The Bo family is trying to find a way to deal with the troubles, and the second prince has not been implicated for the time being." ”

Su Ruan looked at it slightly, thought for a while and said, "Since the crown prince is involved, he has to guard against the second prince's counterattack." ”

"Big brother, you have to be careful lately."
