Chapter 38 Asking the Cause
The entanglement between Fang Mojiao and Du Wuyan made Du Miaoyi very curious, she didn't know that the person who was rescued by the palace guards was Fang Mojiao's sweetheart. She invited Fang Moyu over and asked a few words about the two of them.
Few people knew about this matter, at that time, Fang Mojiao was seriously ill because of Jian Yan's death, and in addition to her and Zheng Yu, the only people who knew the truth were Fang Shilang, Jane's and Fang Mojiao's two personal maids.
Du Miaoyi asked about this, Fang Mo couldn't hide it, so she told her a rough story. Du Miaoyi was a little puzzled, how did this Jian Yan become Du Wuyan, didn't Gonggong Qin arrange people to Xuanyi Hall after the investigation was clear?
Like her, Fang Mojiao was also suspicious, Jian Yan refused to admit her identity, but she had to say that the jade ring was her own. Although she hadn't seen the real Du Wuyan, maybe there were two people in this world who looked very similar, but it was impossible for both of them to have an identical jade ring at the same time.
She heard that Du Wuyan was rescued by the secret guards of the palace at the beginning, and Gonggong Qin arranged people to Xuanyi Hall, and she planned to go to Gonggong Qin to ask for clarification.
Gonggong Qin also received the news that Du Wuyan's background was suspicious, and after Fang Mojiao came over, he called the guards who had been sent to Jiangnan to inquire about Du Wuyan's background. After the guard heard that Du Wuyan might not be the younger brother of the daughter-in-law of the Bozhou County Shou, but Jian Yan of the Jiangnan Jian family, he said several impossibilities.
It turned out that Du Wuyan forgot who he was after being rescued, and only knew that he was from Jiangnan, and the purpose of coming to the capital was to seek revenge on King Yunyang. Other than that, he doesn't remember anything.
Gonggong Qin was afraid that he was a nail sent to the palace by someone with ulterior motives, so he let his henchmen go to Jiangnan to inquire about the news, and at the same time sent others to inquire in Beijing.
After the guards went to Jiangnan, they inquired for several days to learn about the crimes committed by King Yunyang in Bozhou. In order to avenge his sister and brother-in-law, the younger brother of the daughter-in-law of Bozhou County followed King Yunyang back to the capital along the way, and was stabbed by the guards next to King Yunyang when he was assassinated, and accidentally fell into the Qinjing River when he escaped.
And the one who told him the news was Du Wuyan's Changsui, who learned that his master was dead and rushed back to Bozhou from the capital to report the news. Unexpectedly, the Du family in Bozhou was burned down by fire overnight, and more than 100 members of the Du family died in the fire.
That Changsui was also injured by the fire, but he narrowly escaped death, and when he was killed by the murderer guarding outside the Du house, he happened to be rescued by the guards. The guards listened and asked about Du Wuyan's appearance and characteristics, and the long follower described it was not much different from the person they rescued.
After the guards found out about this news, they did not leave Jiangnan immediately. He wandered around Jiangnan for a few days, except for the tragedy of the Du family's destruction and Du Wuyan's disappearance, he did not find any other useful news.
After making sure that there was no doubt about Du Wuyan's life experience, Gonggong Qin consulted Du Miaoyi and arranged him into Xuanyi Hall. Du Wuyan is very smart, and after entering the Xuanyi Hall, he soon found that the Xuanyi Hall was boring.
In order to repay the palace for saving his life, he took the initiative to propose to Gonggong Qin to clear the nails in the Xuanyi Hall, so that the Xuanyi Hall could really be used by the palace.
Du Miaoyi and Father-in-law Qin naturally would not refuse.
It took Du Wuyan three years to reorganize the Xuanyi Hall into a guard team that only served Du Miaoyi and Queen Mother Cheng, and although he himself was mediocre in martial arts, he became the leader of the Xuanyi Hall.
Fang Mojiao quietly listened to Gong Qin's explanation of the cause of the incident, she still didn't believe that Du Wuyan was the Du family, there must have been something wrong, and it became the current situation.
She wondered, should she wait for her injuries to heal and go to Jiangnan to figure out these things in person?
Now that her injuries are slowly improving, she resigned to Du Miaoyi and planned to go home to recuperate. And Du Miaoyi was busy finding out the murderer who assassinated them, and after listening to her words, she ordered someone to prepare a large bag of medicinal materials to replenish her body and let her take it back with her.
After returning to the Fang family, when Jane's came to see her, Fang Mojiao asked how the Jian family handled this matter after Jian Yan's disappearance.
Jane sighed and said, "Brother Yan'er's child has never been taken seriously, after he disappeared, your grandfather sent someone to search for him for a few days, and when he didn't find anyone, he said that he was seriously ill. Later, after Brother Yan left, I wrote to tell your grandfather, and your grandfather let him 'die of illness'. ”
Hearing this, Fang Mojiao was a little difficult to accept, "Cousin Yan is also a descendant of the Jian family, how can my grandfather do this." If Cousin Yan hadn't died, wouldn't he even have an identity? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, it's only reasonable for your grandfather to do this. If it was known that he died because of the assassination of the royal family, wouldn't it affect the Jian family. Jian looked at her daughter seriously, "Brother Yan is not the only one in the Jian family, but also your maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts, do you want them to put their lives on the line for what Brother Yan did?" ”
Fang Mojiao also understood this truth, but when she thought that Jian Yan was obviously alive, but she could only exist as someone else, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Jane's saw that her daughter committed leftism whenever she encountered something related to Jian Yan, except for sighing or only sighing. Jian Yan has been dead for three years, but her daughter still hasn't come out. She couldn't figure it out, obviously the time the two really got along was only in the three months in Jiangnan, why her daughter looked like she was deeply rooted.
Jane didn't understand, and Fang Mojiao didn't understand either. But she still decided to listen to her grandmother Mrs. Fang and follow her own heart.
At the end of April, Du Miaoyi finally found out who had assassinated them.
From the beginning, she focused her investigation on the new emperor and the regent, and of course Duhou Mansion did not let go. And the news detected by the palace guards also pointed directly at these three forces, among which the suspicion of the new emperor was the most obvious. But her instincts told her that it wasn't one of the three forces that assassinated them.
In order to find out the real murderer, she used the palace's hole cards - a detective who can only be used in a critical moment. Sure enough, as she expected, it was Shangguan Hongyue who assassinated them and then blamed the new emperor.
The first emperor had four sons and one daughter, the eldest son was the deceased Prince Duanhui, the second son was the new emperor Shangguan Heyue, the third son was King Qi Shangguan Xiyue, and the youngest son was King Jianwang Shangguan Hongyue.
When the first emperor was alive, he valued the eldest son Duanhui the most, but the most favored was Shangguan Xiyue, the king of prayer from the noble concubine. On the contrary, he was most disgusted with King Jian, who was the youngest and his biological mother was a concubine of the cold palace, and Shangguan Hongyue did not come out of the cold palace until he was ten years old.
Prince Duanhui is good to several younger brothers, especially the younger brother Shangguan Hongyue. When he was a child, Shangguan Hongyue was bullied by the palace people, and Prince Duanhui took him to the East Palace after knowing about it, and ate and lived together for a while. Later, he pleaded with the first emperor to change Shangguan Hongyue's group of palace people who served him, and asked him to study with his other two younger brothers.
He did not have a strong maternal family, nor did he have the favor of the emperor, and in the eyes of the ministers of the court and others, Shangguan Hongyue was just an existence attached to Prince Duanhui. So after the accidental death of the first emperor and Prince Duanhui, no one thought of him, and they all supported the new emperor and King Qi.
Later, the new emperor ascended to the throne under the manipulation of the regent and the Empress Dowager Wen, and King Qi retreated in his palace and no longer fought with the new emperor. Shangguan Hongyue, who was ignored by everyone, lived even more simply, if it weren't for the fact that he occasionally attended festivals and royal banquets, I am afraid that no one would remember that there was such a person.
Who would have thought that such a neglected person would raise a group of dead soldiers in private, and he would also take revenge on the orphan who wanted to kill Prince Duanhui.
After learning the truth of the matter, Du Miaoyi's face became very ugly, "It turns out that His Royal Highness actually raised a poisonous snake by his side, if he knew about it, he would definitely regret his good deeds back then." ”
Gonggong Qin is an old man who is serving Prince Duanhui, and when the new emperor wanted to drive him to the palace, it was Du Miaoyi who came forward to ask him over. He was the most loyal to Prince Duanhui, but Prince Duanhui had passed away, and the objects of his allegiance became Du Miaoyi and King Cheng.
"Niangniang, we already know who the real murderer is, should we retaliate with a tooth for a tooth?"
Du Miaoyi shook her head, "From now on, there will be another Jianwang on our guard. Let's not move him for now, and wait for the results of the investigation by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. ”
