Chapter 417: Suspicion
"It depends on the will of God."
That's the magic of language.
Obviously, Xie Yujiang's words were so uncertain, but in the ears of Shopkeeper Liu, it was City Lord Xie who was working this matter.
In fact, since he received a word from the boy that day, he has been in a mess for the past few days, and he doesn't know anything.
On the one hand, he is tormented by illness, and on the other hand, he is worried about his daughter's future.
He knows too well how vicious the people in the mall are, and once he falls, then his daughter can no longer protect her safety.
By that time, there will not even be bones left to be eaten by complicated interpersonal relationships?
If that's the case, he won't be blind even if he dies.
It was precisely because of this concern in his heart that after a few thoughts and hesitations, he chose the method that the young man gave him at the beginning.
If he can really protect his daughter, he will break off most of the family property, and he has no complaints.
After all, the reason why he did business in the first place was to give his daughter better living conditions.
There is no conflict between the two, anyway, it is for the sake of Yingxue.
Soon, the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion came to Xie Yu's ear and leaned down and whispered to him.
After the man finished speaking, Xie Yu smiled at Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu is really lucky, my friend has agreed, if Shopkeeper Liu is willing, you can take your property and Miss Liu to Lincheng at any time and settle down in Lincheng." ”
It is the base camp of the Junmen's army, and the entire Lincheng is under the control of the Jun family, so it is the best choice to transfer people there.
But these words fell into the ears of the shopkeeper Liu, but it made him hesitate subconsciously, bowed slightly and said, "Lord City, the grass people heard that Lincheng ...... Isn't it a bit inappropriate to send my daughter there? ”
In fact, in the past few years, Lincheng has been the most chaotic place, because it is the most remote domain city in the Great Jin Dynasty, because it is the border, and most of the people who come and go have different identities.
In such a chaotic place, letting his daughter go over is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and he is really not at ease.
Shopkeeper Liu thought that City Lord Xie could understand his worries, but after hearing this, City Lord Xie hooked the corners of his lips with interest and showed a smile: "This is a bad word, instead of worrying about Miss Liu's safety, it is better to think about it carefully, that Lincheng is the hinterland of Junmen, and Junmen has been stationed there for decades, which is no different from being under his nose." ”
"Put people under the nose of the monarch, within reach, who would dare to touch her? In this way, is there a safer place than Lincheng? ”
"Maybe Shopkeeper Liu also wants to send his daughter to Shangjing, after all, the General's Mansion stands in Shangjing, but Shopkeeper Liu should not forget that the General has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the deterrent power has long been not as good as before, so how can he bother for an orphan girl?"
With the patient explanation of the city lord Xie, the shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment and then laughed, and there was a little cramped meaning in his smile: "What the adults said is that the grass people want to be bad, since this is the case, the grass people will arrange food and grass materials as soon as possible, and then arrange the little girl to go to Lincheng." ”
At this point, the shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but pause, and finally knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, and his tone was slightly vicissitudes: "From now on, the grass people are going to leave Tancheng with the Liu family, thank you for the care of the city lord in the past few years." ”
Xie Yu got up and personally helped the person up from the ground.
Then he said: "After the shopkeeper Liu is arranged, someone can come to inform the official, and the official can send a group of people to escort the shopkeeper Liu to Lincheng, as for the other cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Tancheng, the official will send someone to suppress it." ”
When the words fell, Xie Yu sent the guests off: "Shopkeeper Liu, please leave, this official still has official business to do." ”
"The grass people retreated, the great kindness of the adults, and the grass people did not dare to forget when they died."
……
The rest went well.
Because of the intervention of the city lord, the Li family, who has always regarded the Liu family as a fragrant bait and wants to take a bite, even if they know that the Liu shopkeeper is about to withdraw from Tancheng with the entire family business, there is no way to leave it.
After all, whenever they want to send someone to block it and make something happen out of thin air, there will be officials and family members who will come forward to suppress it.
This time, behind the Liu family stood the City Lord's Mansion.
When this fact was understood, no one in the Li family dared to act rashly.
After all, they are not like Shopkeeper Liu, who has the courage to pull the whole family out of Tancheng.
In the next few decades, they will all have to make a living under the hands of this city lord, and naturally no one will risk offending the city lord and make a move against an opponent who is about to retire from the stage.
The shopkeeper also found out.
Everything that followed was really as the city lord said, until he arranged everything and went to Lincheng with his daughter and a large number of supplies, except for dozens of more officers and soldiers to escort him, there was no accident on the way.
……
After the convoy left, the subordinates of Tancheng City Lord Xie Yu looked at the team in the distance, twisted their eyebrows and asked, "Why did your lord suddenly pay attention to a merchant?" ”
"Entrusted by men, loyal to people."
Just when the person who came wanted to continue asking, Xie Yu suddenly smiled faintly and reminded: "There are some things that you shouldn't know, don't ask more, after all, how can we guess the thoughts of the superiors?" ”
The implication is that he doesn't quite understand it either.
Xie Yu rarely spoke to the people below in such a cautious tone.
Therefore, after hearing this, the person who was originally quite interested in this matter almost immediately withdrew his curiosity: "What the Lord said is true. ”
The parade has been going down for three days.
Compared with Qi Changrong's leisurely posture, Shangjing can be described as a rumor.
Jiang Bowen struggled with the risk of scrapping the last few chess pieces buried in the harem, and finally got a message from an old palace man.
There seems to be something wrong with the identity of the prince of the East Palace.
And the problem is not small.
It's a pity that the old palace people don't know much about it, and he passed away after being tortured to extract a confession.
Yes, Jiang Bowen's curiosity was hung high.
Taking advantage of his position, Jiang Bowen set out to investigate what happened 16 years ago.
In the year of the prince's birth, there was a bloody storm in the palace.
For some reason, Emperor Jin An was furious, not only disposed of most of the palace maids around Concubine Qin, but even none of the old ladies who delivered the babies survived.
It is hard to imagine that Emperor Jin'an, who has always been known for his compassion and benevolence, would actually dispose of hundreds of palace people in one day.
Even the Tai Hospital at that time was cleaned.
Damn it's almost dead.
Most of the people who remain today are young faces.
Jiang Bowen's cookie fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.
Sixteen years have passed, and trying to uncover the secrets of the year again and find someone in the know from the palace is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
He wanted to know what happened at the beginning, but he couldn't guess what kind of secret could make Emperor Jin An go on a killing spree.
Barto: "Your Excellency suspects that there is something wrong with the identity of the Prince of the East Palace?" ”
Jiang Bowen flipped through the things in front of him and muttered, "It's not a doubt, but it's certain." ”
Bato asked again with some uncertainty: "Is it because Emperor Jin An killed too many people back then?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Bowen nodded, lowered his eyes and said: "I have been an official in the Great Jin Dynasty for 20 years, and I think I know a little about the emperor here, Emperor Jin An has no ambitions, as the emperor of a country, not only does he not want to open up a vast territory, but he is even too satisfied with the status quo, and there are few things in the world that can make him angry." ”
Barto told the truth that he had found out back then: "But didn't the adults already send someone to investigate? What's more, when this incident happened, the lord was also an official of the imperial court, although the official position was quite small, but he should have heard of it, it seems that because of the dispute in the harem, His Royal Highness the Prince's mother was born prematurely, and he ended up with a weak body, so it caused Emperor Longyan of Jin'an to be furious? ”
"Can you believe it?" Jiang Bowen asked rhetorically.
"If it's true, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." "If it's not true, you need to find evidence to prove it," Barto said. ”
Jiang Bowen took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "In fact, I didn't have any doubts at the beginning. ”
After all, everyone knows that it is not easy for Emperor Jin'an to get a son, and it is not surprising that he will kill the only heir of the royal family.
But today, many years later, he faintly realized that something was wrong.
Even if Qi Changrong was persecuted before he was born, Emperor Jin An would not have killed half of the Tai Hospital.
Can't it be, half of the hospital is involved in the persecution of the little prince?
What's more, there are so many people who have died, isn't Emperor Jin An afraid of retribution on the little prince, nor is he afraid that the courtiers will attack him in groups, saying that he is cruel and careless of human life?
Even at such a big risk, Emperor Jin An had to act in this way, causing the palace to change drastically overnight.
By the time the court officials reacted, the palace was shrouded in blood.
And the little prince who was born not long ago was also made the crown prince.
Such an important event completely suppressed the storm that had not yet had time to rise.
The lake is still calm.
No one can peek into the secrets of the bottom of the lake.
Hearing this, Bato pondered and asked, "My lord has been the prince's teacher for several years, have you ever noticed anything wrong with the prince?" ”
"Over the years, I have been teaching in the East Palace for two hours every day, of course, during this period, in case of sudden accidents, there are always a few palace people around the prince who are close to me, and I have no chance to be alone with him."
Yes, after careful calculation, he really doesn't know much about the prince.
Because once the time is up for the lecture, he will be respectfully asked to leave the East Palace.
He didn't have a chance to look at the East Palace Prince at all.
I only know that this person has been weak since he was a child, but he has grown up safe and sound to this day.
Bato frowned: "Since the adults can go to the East Palace to teach, it means that the Emperor Jin still trusts the adults, according to the trust of the Emperor Jin An in the adults, it should not be possible to guard against this, and not let the prince get close to you......"
Even the class time is scheduled......
There must be reasons for this that outsiders don't know.
I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know what it meant.
