Chapter 467: Accidents Happen One After Another
Jingnan's change came unexpectedly.
Even if Mo Linglan led people to suppress it, and even ordered someone to investigate thoroughly as soon as possible, it still couldn't stop the sudden rumors.
Su Xuanmin, the former governor of Jingnan, led the troops to resist the enemy, and the righteous sacrifice was even more fake, he colluded with Xie Yuan, the Marquis of Xuanping, to deceive the world, and the reason why the natural disaster in Jingnan was not alleviated for a long time, and even the imperial court repeatedly died unexpectedly for disaster relief, all of which were man-made disasters.
The Bo family and the second prince did intervene in it, but the real person behind the scenes was the crown prince.
The crown prince is weak, the mother family is incompetent, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is controlled by the Bo family and the Empress Dowager Qian in the court, and he is constrained everywhere.
In order to weigh the power of the court for the crown prince, in addition to the Bo family and the Empress Dowager Qian, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty knew what the prince had done, but he also indulged him to use the Bo family as a disaster, deliberately delayed the Jingnan disaster, causing countless deaths and injuries in Jingnan, making the image of corruption, and afterwards clearing up the crown prince.
The soldiers who knew the inside story of the city in Jingzhou were all killed by Su Xuanmin afterwards, and Su Xuanmin felt remorse after killing those soldiers, and finally had to "commit suicide" outside the city in order to protect his wife and daughter.
Xie Yuan was originally a person relied on by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to cover it up, he even sheltered Su Xuanmin's wife and daughter in the name of being fascinated by beauty, and later learned that Su Xuanmin wanted to make a living for his wife and daughter before he died, leaving evidence of the old case in Jingnan.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty simply took advantage of Su Ruan's complaint to blame the Bo family, pushed the second prince out and took all the faults, not only to collect the power of the court, but also to completely eradicate the troubles, afraid that the living people in Jingnan would make waves again and start murderous.
After these people in Jingnan knew the truth, they were forced to be cornered, and they dragged Su Xuanmin's daughter with their lives, and Emperor Ming Xuan's Emperor sent to Jingnan to assassinate their imperial history in the Qi Wen Mansion, and they all died.
The entire Jingnan was like boiling water falling into a pot of oil, and it exploded violently.
The rumors in the streets and alleys couldn't stop at all, and even knowing that Xuan Longan and Sima Yu had also died, many people began to panic and wanted to flee outside, for fear that the last "disaster" would reappear in Jingnan.
However, in two or three days, the whole Jingnan was in chaos.
……
In the Zhizhou Mansion, Mo Linglan slapped the table and said angrily: "Where did this rumor come from? How could Su Xuanmin have killed those people?! ”
"It's true..."
The eldest brother of the Mo family said in a low voice, "I have checked, in addition to Su Xuanmin, there were many strong men who were temporarily drawn out of the city to defend the city, and they said that when Xie Yuan took over Jingzhou City, there were hundreds of soldiers who came down from the city. ”
"They had seen with their own eyes that those people were injured but they were killed, but then overnight, they were all gone."
"Xie Yuan later only said to the public that they died in battle, and at that time, there was a plague in Jingzhou, and the Southern Wei Dynasty outside the city had not retreated, and the city was in chaos, and they didn't have time to think about it when they only cared about their lives."
The eldest brother of the Mo family said, "Do you still remember the names of those people tortured by the dead soldiers, that Chen Han was Su Xuanmin's cronies at the beginning, and the other two people who died, one was a wealthy merchant in Jingnan at that time, and the other was a person who followed Su Xuanmin out of the city to find food." ”
"Now there is a lot of rumors outside, coupled with the corroboration of those people at the beginning, almost everyone believes it."
Mo Linglan's face was extremely ugly.
He didn't believe that Su Xuanmin would collude with Xie Yuan, and even he was the person of Emperor Ming Xuan and the crown prince early on.
If he was really Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, he would not have died so suddenly, and later he was wronged as a traitor, and his wife and daughter were almost forced to die in Jingzhou, and he was hunted down and killed because of what he left behind.
Su Ruan's experience of what they experienced could not be fake, and there were flaws everywhere in this rumor.
Let's just say that the Bo family and the second prince, how could Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty condone the prince's recklessness and self-destruction in order to calculate the Bo family, not to mention that the prince is benevolent and the prince of Dachen, even if the situation is not good, but he is still a sure future emperor.
Is he crazy to do these things in Jingnan in order to seize power?
Mo Linglan knew more about the inside story than others, and he also knew that the Bo family and the second prince were used as a cover, and there were real people behind them who had not appeared, and it was very likely that he did what happened to Jingnan this time, and even Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan were tempted by him when they went to Jingnan.
But no matter what, this person can never be Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince!
Mo Linglan's mind turned sharply, and he suddenly said: "Big brother, you said that there was a plague in Jingzhou City at that time?" ”
The eldest brother of the Mo family nodded: "That's what those people said, it's quite a lot of trouble, and it infected a lot of people for a while, but later Xie Yuan circled the infected people, and waited for the imperial doctor in Beijing to arrive, so that the epidemic was contained." ”
Mo Linglan said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that those soldiers are also infected with the plague?" ”
The eldest brother of the Mo family was surprised: "You mean, Su Xuanmin killed those soldiers in order to protect the people of this city?" ”
He thought about it, if the soldiers who were guarding the city at that time were really infected with the plague, and there was no medicine in Jingzhou at that time, and there was a Southern Wei army outside the city, and the imperial doctor in Beijing did not have time to arrive.
In order to protect the other people in Jingzhou City, it is not impossible for Su Xuanmin to kill those people.
Brother Mo hurriedly said, "I'll go and let people spread the news......
Who knew that Mo Linglan grabbed him: "It's useless." ”
"Why?"
Mo Linglan's face was ugly, "The rumors outside only used Su Xuanmin's matter to provoke public anger, but the most important thing is that the imperial court is not conducive to disaster relief, and it alludes to the fact that His Majesty and the crown prince are planning the Bo family in order to take charge of the government, and use the people of the entire Jingnan as pawns." ”
"Even if you tell everyone that Su Xuanmin killed people because of the plague, who can testify? What's more, now the people who went to Beijing to sue the emperor are almost dead, and Zirong and Su Ruan's whereabouts are unknown. ”
The body was not found, and Sima Yu died, and he, a person from Beijing, came forward to explain the matter, which would only make everyone think that he was just forcibly covering up.
If Xuan Long is here, with what he has done for Jingnan in the past two years, he can temporarily suppress the rumors in the city.
But Crepe Longan doesn't know life and death.
Who will believe him?
Mo Linglan only felt as if he was in a desperate situation, with no way out, he looked at the eldest brother of the Mo family and asked, "What's going on on the dock, are there Zirong and Crepe Longan's whereabouts?" ”
The eldest brother of the Mo family shook his head: "No, they searched all over the vicinity of the dock and found some corpses, but none of them were Zirong, and the water was turbulent that night, if Zirong ...... Will it be swept into the depths of the South River by the current? ”
Mo Linglan pursed his lips tightly, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and said: "As long as I don't see the corpse for a day, I won't believe that Zirong and they are dead, big brother, add more people to find them along the way!" ”
"The things in the city ......," the eldest brother of the Mo family hesitated.
Mo Linglan's eyes were dark: "I'm afraid that this matter can't be suppressed, so I immediately sent a letter back to Beijing, telling Brother Wenbai and Marquis Xie, and asking them to prepare in advance......
If there is a change, it will not be unguarded.
Just as Mo Linglan was talking to the eldest brother of the Mo family, there was a sudden sound of someone running outside, and in just a moment, someone suddenly broke in outside the door, shouting with joy on his face.
"Master Mo, I've found it, I've found it......"
Mo Linglan's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "What did you find?" ”
"Whoop, whoop......"
The man put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, "I found Lord Crepe, and Xiao Gongzi, they were on a gravel beach in the south, and they happened to be hooked by the weeping willows on it, and someone had already gone to pick them up, and they were on the way back." ”
Mo Linglan was instantly delighted: "Great." ”
He almost had the urge to cry, he and Qi Wenfu and Xiao Mian were all the same close friends, even if he had been reporting hope before, but with the passage of time, no one knew how slim this hope was.
But now that he has found Xiao Mian, and even Crepe Longan, maybe he can also find Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan......
Mo Linglan got up and wanted to walk out, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he bumped into Jinbao who came in a hurry.
After Jinbao learned that something had happened to them in Qiwen Mansion, he had never slept, and his originally round face had lost a lot of weight at this time, and even his eyes were blue and black.
"Campbell......
Mo Linglan was about to tell Jinbao the good news of finding Xiao Mian, but whoever thought that Jinbao opened his mouth with an ugly face, "Master Mo, something happened in Beijing!" ”
