Chapter 177: Treat others the way they do
Moved to moved, Kang Ling also knows that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, whether it is Su Jingxiang or Pei Yuchen, or An Concubine, it is because their common enemy is Lin Zhimeng.
The Empress Dowager Xiao'an watched the **** war of words, and in the end, she still relieved her niece from the queen's people on weekdays, and her heart was also mixed.
It's not that she doesn't know that her niece Kang Ling is not suitable for life in the palace, Kang Ling's temperament is not qualitative, irritable and irritable, and sometimes even completely unable to hold her breath, compared to Lin Zhimeng, that means are not half a star. But first, she knew that this niece had admired her son since she was a child, secondly, she also needed someone to suppress the girl of the Lin family in the harem, and thirdly, it was also for the glory of the Kang family, which helped Kang Ling all the way to the position of concubine.
"Ling'er, it's you who overstepped the rules." Empress Dowager Xiao'an said coldly.
Of course, although the tone of the Empress Dowager Xiao'an is not good, but the title really expresses to everyone that no matter what Kang Ling is, she is her niece.
Kang Ling was impulsive, but not stupid, and hurriedly knelt down when he heard the words: "My niece knows her mistake." ”
But she didn't mean to apologize to anyone.
Xiao'an would not teach Kang Ling a lesson in front of everyone, and everyone only heard Xiao'an's words from the above: "Get up." ”
So, a war of words with hidden meanings was over.
Of course, because Lin Zhimeng insisted on investigating the source of the rumors, otherwise he would learn from death, and in the end, Yi Xiangxiang and others' obstruction was still useless, and the Holy Lord Zhao Ziqian and the Empress Dowager Xiao'an agreed to investigate the source of the rumors.
Yi Xiangxiang is actually quite puzzled, she and Zhao Ziqian are buried their own people in Chongren Palace, although they can't touch the core because Lin Zhimeng is too cautious, but some news is still very clear.
For example, Yi Xiangxiang knew that the rumors were released by Lin Zhimeng herself, although she didn't know what she was doing to slander herself like this, and then made a thief shouting to catch a thief, but it was obviously a purpose.
Zhao Ziqian must have known that Lin Zhimeng had a purpose, but he still agreed to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors, which was what surprised Yi Xiangxiang.
Don't...... Is it to help Song Yuan delay the time to solve the case? Yi Xiangxiang thought so.
If the people of the Shang Palace Bureau have to cooperate with the rumors outside the palace, then the affairs in the palace are not so able to take care of them. Zhao Ziqian obviously knew that Lin Zhimeng was playing tricks, but he still followed her tricks, and sent the manpower of the Shanggong Bureau, it was hard not to think that he was making excuses for Song Yuan to delay the handling of the case.
Besides, Zhao Ziqian still has his own dark department after all, and his strength is completely equal to or even higher than the ability of Huanxi Pavilion, although now Huanxi Pavilion cannot confirm the specific cause and process of Lin Zhixin's death, but if it is another three or five days, combined with the dynamics and news of each palace, I believe that he can also have a preliminary eyebrow.
If Zhao Ziqian didn't want to help Song Yuan, Yi Xiangxiang didn't believe it.
Song Yuan is very capable, judging from the fact that she has solved many cases, she is also a very righteous person, and she and Zhao Ziqian have also fought side by side, so it is not surprising that they have a long-lasting and deep friendship.
Even Zhao Ziqian still lets her manage the Shanggong Bureau now, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a way for her to understand the harem? Over time, it is good to grasp everyone's minds, and be a mother like a fish in water?
Yi Xiangxiang admits that she is easy to associate.
A woman's sensitivity is so natural, even if Zhao Ziqian may not mean this at all, but in Yi Xiangxiang's heart, once the seed is planted, it will quickly grow into a towering tree.
Well, it doesn't make any sense.
In love, this situation is usually called a manifestation of insecurity, of course, Yi Xiangxiang doesn't know it.
Regardless of what Yi Xiangxiang thinks, with the help of well-intentioned people, the source of rumors that Lin Zhixin's death was Lin Zhimeng's work was found out the next day.
This stunned everyone.
"What does Concubine Kang think? Why would you be stupid enough to release such rumors? In the inner hall of Zhong Cui Palace, Pei Yuchen sat in the circle chair on Su Jingxiang's right side and asked everyone.
After the end of the invitation this morning, they went back to each palace, and then after a pillar of incense, the people of the Shanggong Bureau went to Jinghua Palace to pick up one of Kangling's four palace maids, Luo Shi.
The reason for the arrest is also simple and crude, that is, the news about the murder of Lin Jieyu by the noble concubine Lin Zhimeng outside the palace was released by Luo Shi, and he has enough human and physical evidence.
As soon as the incident came out, Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang went to invite Yi Xiangxiang, Pei Yuchen and others to Zhongcui Palace for specific discussions, and after everyone got together, they had the question that Pei Yuchen had just now.
Of course, Yi Xiangxiang is still pretending to be Liu Fangfei.
"It's just a frame-up, although Kang Ling is sometimes reckless, but this time it doesn't seem like her style of acting." Yi Xiangxiang said while drinking tea.
Pei Yuchen disagreed: "Didn't she also want to frame Lin Zhimeng for Li Jieyu's matter?" It's not impossible to repeat the same trick. ”
Pei Yuchen really doesn't like Lin Zhimeng, which is obvious from her title.
Yi Xiangxiang smiled: "How do you know that this is not Lin Zhimeng's way of treating others with his own way?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Su Jingxiang sat at the top, after all, she was the one who held the palace power, and she needed some majesty. So she temporarily changed her habit of wearing plain white, and today she changed into a large peony emerald green smoke veil Bixia Luo, and her low-hanging sideburns were obliquely inserted and inlaid with pearls and jasper, which looked very solemn.
However, Rao was like this, she still asked Yi Xiangxiang very humbly: "Then what should we do?" ”
Yi Xiangxiang smiled: "Wait and see." ”
Lin Zhimeng has always been careful, and she rarely leaves a handle in her work, because Yi Xiangxiang has squatted in the imperial city for so long and has not had a chance to move her. But now that Lin Zhimeng has made a move on Kang Ling, this matter is an opportunity for Yi Xiangxiang!
The crime of letting go of rumors can't do anything to Kang Ling, so Lin Zhimeng must be hiding the trick! Yi Xiangxiang waited for Lin Zhimeng to deliver a fatal blow to Kang Ling, and she wanted to be that yellow sparrow.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came from the Criminal Punishment House of the Shanggong Bureau, and Luo Shi couldn't stand the torture and admitted that she helped Kang Ling create a rumor that framed Lin Zhimeng.
The so-called truth is very simple, and it can even be said that there is no technology at all! That is, Luo Shi took the money and arranged for the release of rumors to a girl named Siyu! And this Siyu is the top brand of Kyoto Baihualou, she and all the dignitaries who ordered her brand spread rumors that Lin Zhimeng killed Lin Zhixin, and also showed that she learned this secret from the mouth of a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and hoped that the guests would keep it a secret.
How could the guests keep secrets, so they came and went, and everyone knew about it.
Of course, this pot is Kang Ling's back when it comes back. First of all, Luo Shi's confession has already confessed that Kang Guifei wanted to slander Lin Guifei and damage her reputation, and said that this method is the same as framing Lin Guifei for Li Jieyu's death. And after the investigation of Dali Temple, they also found that this Baihualou head card called Siyu was her personal maidservant before Kang Ling entered the palace.
In Jinghua Palace, Kang Ling dropped a set of tea sets: "What a personal maidservant, that's just a maid I don't look down on, and I have already been expelled from the house!" It's good now, and you're still rushing to bite me, this! ”
Siyu did serve Kang Ling before, but she was not less punished by Kang Ling, once she was beaten so hard that she returned her mouth, and finally was thrown out of Kang Mansion and sold to traffickers in her last life. After that, she was sold by traffickers several times, and after some twists and turns, she arrived at Baihualou.
On the bright side this time, she thought that Kang Ling was the old owner and helped her spread rumors about Lin Zhimeng, but in fact, she had already been bought by Lin Zhimeng.
"And Luo Shi, he even dared to betray me, all of them are white-eyed wolves who can't be raised!" Kang Ling was still angry and smashed another vase.
The people waiting around lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
Mama Liu walked in from outside the screen, she put down the soup in her hand and ordered someone to clean up the debris on the ground, and then comforted Kang Ling: "Don't worry, Niangniang, it's just a rumor, if you do it, Lin Guifei can't do anything to you!" It's a big deal to bow your head and admit your mistake, as long as the Queen Mother is there, this crime is not enough to see. ”
Mama Liu is the person who serves the Empress Dowager Xiao'an, and has followed Kang Ling since Kang Ling entered the palace. She knows very well, not to mention that Kang Ling can deny it outright, what she says is that she is making her own opinions, even if Kang Ling admits it, it can also be said that she is just a temper and can't get used to Lin Guifei so she impulsively released the rumors, and she can't do anything about Kang Ling at all.
It's a pity that things are not as simple as imagined.
On the second day after Luo Shi was taken away, that is, on the third day when the queen ordered Song Yuan to solve the case within three days, the Shang Palace Bureau found the key evidence of Lin Zhixin's case.
That's the murder weapon.
It turned out that Kang Ling flatly denied that Luo Shi was assigned by her, so Luo Shi made a so-called confession regardless of it, she said that Lin Zhixin was killed by Kang Ling, and the murder weapon was an inkstone.
So Song Yuan took Luo Shi to Jinghua Palace in the name of investigating the case.
The harem concubines who got the news also went to Jinghua Palace one after another.
When Yi Xiangxiang arrived with Xiao Dan and others, there was a lively scene at the gate of Jinghua Palace, and Yi Xiangxiang felt that there were not as many people as there were at this time.
With her identity as a favorite concubine, she came to the front to watch the play all the way unimpeded.
I saw that Song Yuan's people pressed Luo Shi to go in to find the so-called murder weapon, but Mama Liu stood at the door and said that Song Yuan should take out the holy decree of searching the palace, and she gave way.
Song Yuan said like a spring breeze: "Mama Liu means to hinder the official's case? ”
Mama Liu stood at the door of the hall with a hard waist and a majestic waist, and laughed loudly when she heard the words: "Lord Song's words are wrong, even if there is no holy will, you have to ask for an edict to let Chief Jiang or a close guard announce it, and you are so arrogant that you want to search the palace of the concubine Niangniang, but you really don't take the concubine Niangniang in your eyes!" ”
Not to mention that Kang Ling is a noble concubine, even an ordinary concubine never said that she was searched if she was searched, but this matter was taken care of by Mama Liu.
But Song Yuan also has her own thoughts, the fact that Luo Shi will confess the murder weapon is completely unexpected by her, if she goes to ask for the will, she is worried that she will startle the snake, so she quickly brought the person.
"Mama Liu, the queen mother ordered the official to find out the truth within three days, you obstruct the official like this, and when the time comes, you can't afford to wait for the queen!" Song Yuan said coldly.
She is already a beautiful woman, even if she speaks coldly like this, she has a heroic beauty, Yi Xiangxiang feels that it is indeed a pity that such a person is only the head of the Shanggong Bureau.
Well, she's thinking a little bit wrong again.
But in her heart, Song Yuan is indeed very smart, no matter how high Concubine Kang's position is, she can't be as high as the queen, right? Song Yuan brought out the queen to suppress Concubine Kang in Mama Liu's mouth, no matter what, it was enough in name.
After all, Mama Liu is a person who has seen a big scene, and she is not afraid at all: "Lord Song, don't button this high hat for the old body, you want to investigate the case, and if you take the will to search the palace, the old body will definitely not stop you." She said and beckoned, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides gathered over, and actually blocked the palace door more tightly: "But if you lead people to rush in without saying a word, then step on the corpses of the old body and others!" ”
Song Yuan was about to get angry, and a loud sentence was sung and heard outside: "Concubine Hui is here, Concubine Ning is here." ”
Uh-huh, the two heads of the palace are here! Yi Xiangxiang continued to watch the play with her arms crossed.
Concubine Hui's Jingyang Palace and Concubine Ning's Su Jingxiang's Zhongcui Palace are not far from Jinghua Palace, but there is a reason why these two are late.
Concubine Hui deliberately delayed the time because of Lin Zhimeng's arrangement, so that Song Yuan and Mama Liu had a stalemate at the gate of Jinghua Palace for a while, so as to ensure that the news that Kang Ling had become a suspect in Lin Zhixin's murder could spread outside the palace. And Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang also received Yi Xiangxiang's order to prepare to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight together, if it weren't for the responsibility of being attached to the palace and having to show her face, she just wanted to stay in the Zhongcui Palace and embroider.
"What's going on?" Liu Yingxue took the lead.
Song Yuan said Luo Shi's identification of Kang Guifei as Lin Zhixin's murderer.
Su Jingxiang expressed surprise: "How is it possible, how can you frame Concubine Kang Guifei at will?" She bowed her head and said to Luo Shi, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Concubine Ning, the testimony confessed by the slave maid in the Shanggong Bureau is true, if there is half a falsehood, it will not be good to die when the sky thunders!" Luo Shi gritted his teeth and swore fiercely.
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and this heavy oath of Luo Shi instantly made Mama Liu's eyebrows deeper.
Yi Xiangxiang walked out: "In that case, you can tell me how Concubine Kang killed Lin Jieyu?" ”
Luo Shi looked up at Yi Xiangxiang, she was the palace maid beside Kang Ling, and naturally she knew the favorite concubine An Concubine. But I don't know why, she always feels that Concubine An is different from the people in this harem, especially her eyes, which always seem to have insight into the world.
She steadied herself.
"The master of the slave family has never been a bully, not to mention this slave and maid, and all the ladies also know it. Before the master entered the palace, he didn't like Lin Guifei Niangniang, they were all noble daughters of the family at that time, but the master was always short of the Lin family's girl, and the resentment was buried at that time. ”
What Luo Shi said is not bad, Kang Ling did not like Lin Zhimeng since she was a child, but it was not because she was jealous of her gentleness and purity, but because she had seen the opposite of Lin Zhimeng.
Lin Zhimeng looked gentle and gentle, but behind her back, she would throw the hairpin ring jewelry that the ladies gave her into the gutter, and when she turned around, she still looked like "I like it very much and will treasure it".
This is a scene that Kang Ling accidentally bumped into, although she never saw the other side of Lin Zhimeng again, but Lin Zhimeng, who was gentle like water in front of people, had already laid a hypocritical brand in her heart, especially after she covered it up more perfectly, after many people secretly compared the daughter of the Kang family with the daughter of the Lin family, she hated Lin Zhimeng more and more.
Pei Yuchen laughed out loud after hearing Luo Shi's words: "You maid is really funny, not to mention that you may have deviated from your master's mind, just say resentment, being shorter than Concubine Lin will give birth to resentment?" Lin Guifei is the first beauty in Kyoto City, and she is also the first talented girl, according to what do you mean to say that the girls in the entire Kyoto City resent Lin Guifei? ”
In front of so many people, Pei Yuchen didn't directly call Lin Zhimeng's name like he did in Zhong Cui Palace before.
Her words made the people around her nod frequently.
There is indeed no shortage of people in and outside the palace who envy Lin Zhimeng, but when it comes to resentment, it is indeed a little too much.
Luo Shi was choked as soon as she opened her mouth, but she didn't panic at all, she just heard her look up at Pei Yuchen and said: "With Concubine Niangniang, people have a thousand faces and a thousand personalities." Just as the virtuous concubine worships Lin Guifei Niangniang, not everyone resents Lin Guifei for stealing her beauty. Not all of the girls in Kyoto City have the capital of resentment. ”
Tian Yao was caught off guard and was a little embarrassed for a while, but she didn't say anything.
And Luo Shi said this very cleverly.
Not everyone has the capital to resent, because there is too much difference in level, and many people can only look up to Lin Zhimeng's existence. But Kang Ling is different, she is the daughter of the Kang family, and she is also the niece of the concubine back then, and she has the capital to resent Lin Zhimeng.
Even action.
Her words are also very offensive, because she said it very bluntly, not everyone has that qualification.
But now, she is not afraid of offending anyone.
Yi Xiangxiang shook her head: "Don't talk about these things, resentment can't be a motive, you must know that I don't like Lin Zhimeng either." Besides, everyone in the palace wants to be the queen, so can the queen be assassinated or not everyone's fault? ”
Her words are much more straightforward than Luo Shi's saying that everyone is not qualified, everyone in the palace really wants to be the queen, but who would say it so aggressively.
The crowd was speechless.
Pei Yuchen laughed: "That's it, when the queen's mother had an accident, I heard some rumors that the saint wanted to make Lin Guifei Niangniang the queen!" Speaking of which, if something really happens to the queen, isn't the biggest beneficiary Lin Guifei Niangniang? ”
Although Pei Yuchen is not a big beauty, she is also a bright and delicate woman, and her unbridled smile at this time is even more hearty and moving.
Yi Xiangxiang pretended to be surprised and agreed: "So the assassination of the queen mother will not really have anything to do with Lin Guifei Niangniang, right?" ”
Well, these two people are completely closed to talk.
Seeing this, Liu Yingxue scolded loudly: "What nonsense is it!" Then he yelled at Luo Shi: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”
