Chapter 380: Tracing Cause and Effect
Since Yu Wenhao had looked for the steward that day, there were obviously fewer rumors about Lin Jiujiu and Wen Yuandao in the palace.
And Lin Jiujiu here was temporarily separated from Yu Wenhao for seven days because of what he said before. Therefore, on this day, Lin Jiujiu also asked the palace maid at the previous banquet to interrogate.
Lin Jiujiu has a special memory point for people's faces, and most people will not admit mistakes. And it's also very easy to remember what other people look like, so since Lin Jiujiu entered the palace, it was easy to find out where that palace maid was.
When the palace maid saw that Lin Jiujiu wanted to leave Lin Jiujiu, she walked over, stopped the palace maid, and said, "Why are you running away, is there something to hide from me?" ”
Looking at the palace maid's slightly trembling body, Lin Jiujiu tried her best to soften her demeanor so that she would not be so afraid.
But the palace maid obviously didn't want to say anything. She glanced at Lin Jiujiu, then shook her head.
Seeing this palace maid, Lin Jiujiu knew that she wouldn't say anything, but Lin Jiujiu still wouldn't give up.
"If there's something best for you, say it now, and I'll help you if you say it now. If you don't work, I can still ask the general to hug you, and if you leave here, then the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Lin Jiujiu's original intention was to threaten this palace maid, so that the palace maid could tell the truth obediently.
Hearing this, the palace maid thought for a moment. Then he shook his head again, as if he was sure that he wouldn't speak. "Madame General, please go back. The slave and the maid will not speak, and if there is something, the slave and the maid will not be able to bear it. ”
Seeing the palace maid like this, Lin Jiujiu had no choice but to sigh and say, "It's okay if you don't want to say it now, I won't force you." It's just that if you wait for you to speak, you know where to go to me. ”
Lin Jiujiu knew that when he was in the palace, there were many times when he couldn't help but do what he did. But Lin Jiujiu still didn't want to give up the opportunity to know why this happened happened, the palace maid didn't want to say, Lin Jiujiu knew that she couldn't force her, so she could only let her go.
It's just that after Lin Jiujiu left, this palace maid, as well as several palace maids at the banquet where the Queen Mother and daughter of the Lin family were entertained that day, were all killed by the shadow guards dressed in black at the same time. But Lin Jiujiu didn't know about this at all.
Wen Yuandao had asked the doctor to take a look at his leg before, and then found that the leg that was injured by Yu Wenhao was completely crippled and could not be better.
After Wen Yuandao learned the news, he was surprised at first. Then it slowly turned into loss.
Although he knew that this might be the case, Wen Yuandao had no way to control the situation on his lap at all.
He thought about going to Yu Wenhao to confront him, but as soon as he thought that he really had this kind of thought about Lin Jiujiu, he was afraid that Yu Wenhao would have an impulse and blame Lin Jiujiu for everything, and then do something unfavorable to Lin Jiujiu.
Thinking of this, Wen Yuandao didn't dare to go to Yu Wenhao to say something, and as a result, he had to carry everything by himself.
But he was the only one who looked like this, and after the other civil officials in the court learned that Wen Yuandao was injured and his leg was disabled, they all put the blame on Yu Wenhao.
After all, the previous incident was in an uproar, but it was circulated in the palace overnight, and everyone knew about it, but I don't know how many of them are true or false. It's just that the only thing that is certain is that Wen Yuan's leg injury must have been caused by Yu Wenhao.
So after knowing this result, several civil officials have already made a fuss about Yu Wenhao's intimidation of female officials and palace maids, and they want to ask Gong Yichen to call the shots.
It happened that in the early morning of the day, because the table in Gong Yichen's study was already full of twists and turns about various civil officials about this matter, so in this early court, Gong Yichen directly asked Yu Wenhao to come out and say it.
"I have received a lot of compendiums recently, saying that the general has intimidated many female officials and palace maids, I wonder if the general has anything to say about this matter?"
Hearing Gong Yichen's question, Yu Wenhao was obviously very surprised, he looked around, so he looked up and said to Gong Yichen: "Your Majesty, I think it should be those civil officials who made a mistake, and the ministers have always obeyed the law. How could you do such a thing to a palace maid and a female official? It's too much of a loss of face. Your Majesty, think about it, as a great general, if you do such a thing, won't you be buried by others? I don't know which civil official it is, do you dare to come out and let the ministers take a look? ”
Yu Wenhao knew that he did these things by himself, but he also knew that if he didn't come out to make a statement, he would be scolded even more ruthlessly by others.
Although he doesn't care, if he annoys the emperor, I'm afraid that he will punish himself.
And Yu Wenhao deliberately said this to tell those civil officials that he knew what they were doing and how they felt, but he just wanted to do it.
If anyone is not convinced, they can tell themselves directly, and they don't have to hide and stab a knife in the back like this.
Of course, Yu Wenhao also knew that it was impossible for someone to come out and say this to his face, otherwise they wouldn't have to hand over the fold, and just go to the General's Mansion to find him. Thinking of this, the corners of Yu Wenhao's mouth hooked slightly.
"I don't mean to distrust the general." Gong Yichen said again, "All Aiqing have seen it, since the general said so, if anyone is dissatisfied with the general, they can go directly to the general, or go to the general afterwards." ”
Gong Yichen did this, just because he didn't want them to come to him again, after all, it was very annoying to watch piles of twists and turns every day.
The ministers present all looked at each other, and they didn't feel like they wanted to find Yu Wenhao at all.
"How do I feel like business has been a lot lighter lately!" In the Tianxiang Pavilion, the little second-hand man was lying on the counter with a feather duster and said.
Another Xiao Er behind him, who was wiping the cabinet, saw him like this and said, "It seems that there is something in the palace recently, which makes the guests reluctant to come." ”
When it comes to things in the palace, the two juniors know what is going on, but because it is related to the shopkeeper of this store, they are also silent. 15 has already warned before, if anyone dares to say this, there will be no good fruit to eat, so the two little two are more acquainted.
I didn't know what to say, so the little two said, "Recently, it seems that a store similar to ours suddenly appeared not far away, and I heard that business is quite good." The rest of us who didn't come much rushed over there......"
"Do you mean that Ning Xue Pavilion?" Xiao Er stopped wiping the cabinet in his hand. "The background is unknown, the shopkeeper is unknown, the content of the sale is unknown, it is a very mysterious store."
