Chapter 906: Flower House Trap
This case is serious, the chain is very widespread, and it is mainly the arrest of generals in the army, which shakes the whole country, but the people dare not discuss it indiscriminately.
This Qingying Discipline Meeting, saying that the Military Department and the Criminal Department will interrogate, and then transfer personnel from the rest of the departments to participate in the trial, in fact, the Criminal Department occupies the lead, and it is Che Chi who has the right to make decisions in the leadership.
Che Chi is a neighbor that Hu Xianxian has known since childhood, and the Hongzhen Kee Restaurant, which once occupied more than half of Hongbin Building at a low price, was opened by the Che family.
Che Chuang, the owner of Hongzhen Kee Restaurant, is Che Chi's own brother, and after the rebellion was quelled, he took the initiative to report that his brother had funded the rebels. The elder brother died, and his position as the Warden was retained.
Che Ang is the elder brother of Che Chi Lian Guozong, when Che Ang asked him for help, he was unwilling to take refuge, Che Ang made mistakes again and again, and was finally killed by Cheng Haofeng.
And his actions of killing relatives were regarded as loyalty to Han Zexi and he was rewarded.
The breakthrough to bring down Lu Huanbang was because he had sat on the dragon chair privately made by Han Zecan and said great rebellious words, and it was Che Chi who took these things as ironclad evidence.
The overthrow of the powerful minister Lu Huanbang was the beginning of Han Zexi's grasp of real power, and it also became the prelude to the reduction of power.
The world is impermanent, Gao Youquan is a small fishmonger, and Che Chi is just a small subordinate of the Warden Division, and now how many influential people are trampled under their feet.
The way to get the fruit is different for everyone. Some work hard to plant trees and wait for them to blossom and bear fruit; Some work hard to make money to buy sweet fruits; Others wait for the fruit to ripen, to cheat, to steal, to rob.
Hu Xianxian tried his best to calm down, but he still couldn't help but be angry, why didn't he see that Gao Youquan and Che Chi had long coveted power and had the heart to snatch?
The reason for the incomprehensible resentment is not only the loss of glory and wealth, but also the feeling of pity for those sacrificial comrades. It does not replace them in the glory of the world, but allows them to die with dirt and shame.
The specific person in charge of the direct interrogation of the people in the prison is Che Chi, the Che family and the Hu family have been grudges for many years, Hu Xianxian is worried that Hu Yonggang will have an accident in prison, so Ge Shumei should not rush to overturn the case first, it is important to use the relationship to protect people, Ge Shumei agreed repeatedly.
Hu Xianxian remembered that her sister-in-law accepted the gin jar in the name of her brother, and even Hu Yonggang himself didn't know, why was Gao Youquan used to make a fuss?
It is estimated that Gao Youquan also asked Master Guo, or got the news from Lu Huanbang, since Gao Youquan has a close relationship with Gan Ruju, I don't know if he can find a breakthrough from Gan Ruju.
Hu Xianxian went to Bixi Palace and asked Qiao Chushi to send someone to inquire about Gan Ruju's situation.
After inquiring clearly, all the arrangements were only conveyed by Qiao Chushi, she was busy checking the case files and interviewing witnesses, and she didn't seem to want to do anything to Gan Ruju.
A few days later, Gan Ruju entered the city and arrived at East Street, which was wide and tidy, with many silk and satin shops and jewelry stores.
On the seventh day of the first month of April, the weather was fine and the cool breeze was slight, Gan Ruju saved money for two months to buy a pair of pearl earrings, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
When she arrived at a jewelry store, she was choosing when she suddenly felt that someone had bumped into her, and when she looked sideways, she was a beautiful young woman.
Because she bought the jewelry she wanted, the young woman was so happy that she danced with her hands, and she almost fell down after a few steps without paying attention, so she bumped into Gan Ruju.
The beautiful young woman apologized repeatedly, and Gan Ruju saw that she was dressed with a remarkable extravagance, and she was also gentle and generous, so she didn't care. After the two said a few words politely, one went out and the other continued to choose earrings.
After a while, Gan Ruju saw the crystal flickering at her feet in a trance, and when she looked at it, it was a piece of exquisite jade pendant that fell to the ground.
She picked up the jade pendant and took a look, the jade was of high quality, the carving was fine, and it looked like it should be expensive, it was estimated that it fell when the beautiful young woman stumbled for a while.
She hurriedly ran out of the door, and when she saw that the beautiful young woman was about to get into the carriage, she shouted several times and ran towards the carriage with her jade pendant.
After the beautiful young woman saw the jade pendant, she patted her forehead and complained about her carelessness, and sincerely thanked Gan Ruju.
After a few polite sentences, the beautiful young woman said that since Gan Ruju refused to accept the thank you silver, and she was choosing jewelry, it was better for her to take a fancy to something and help her buy it as a thank you gift.
Although Gan Ruju repeatedly refused, it was difficult to refuse, and she returned to the jewelry store to buy the pearl earrings for her.
Because of this matter, the two talked very happily, and under careful questioning, it turned out that this beautiful young woman was Zhang Ruijuan, the eldest lady of Zhang's manor, and his husband was Gu Sizhe, the only son of the Gu family and an official in the Ministry of Rites.
Gan Ruju was embarrassed to say her former identity, only said that she had been a concubine in the house of an official eunuch, and after the head of the family died, she used the silver she had saved to buy a small courtyard in the suburbs and barely survive.
Zhang Ruijuan didn't ask much, the two gradually got acquainted, often went shopping together, and gave her some trinkets from time to time.
I also went to the small courtyard where Gan Ruju lived twice, and said that a big beauty like Gan Ruju lived in this shabby courtyard, which was too aggrieved.
Gan Ruju was also invited to Zhang's Manor, and after seeing Zhang Dun by chance, she quickly hid her face and didn't dare to look at her, but Zhang Dun took the initiative to greet her.
This Zhang Dun is even considered to be a good old friend, and she can't pretend that she doesn't know her.
After knowing that she was the singer of the Jade Building, Gan Ruju thought that she would be estranged from Zhang Ruijuan from now on, but Zhang Ruijuan still came to chat with her.
He also said that she knew that she was not a money-greedy woman based on her good work in collecting money, and there must be a reason why she fell into the dust before.
also said that Aunt Skirt died, and her mother was divorced by her father again, far away in Wanzhou, and her father intended to continue the string, but there was no suitable candidate.
As she spoke, Zhang Ruijuan swept her eyes on Gan Ruju's face, and laughed twice, although she didn't say it explicitly, she seemed to mean to make her her her stepmother.
Because the Zhang family is also a big family in the capital, although Gao Youquan knows about their relationship with Gan Ruju, he does not suspect that there is fraud.
Hu Xianxian is just good friends with Du Wanlan, and now that Du Wanlan is no longer in the Zhang family, Zhang Dun still resents Hu Xianxian, and it is expected that there should be nothing involved.
What's more, Hu Xianxian was busy with his brother's affairs, and he was thinking about the power struggle for power, while Zhang Ruijuan and Gan Ruju talked about the trivial matters that women like about fat powder jewelry, and they couldn't see any connection.
On April 28, Zhang Ruijuan said that she would give Gan Ruju a house, closer to Zhang's house, so that the two could meet, Gan Ruju smiled and agreed, but she didn't take it seriously. How can there be a good thing to give away to someone's house casually?
On the third day of the fifth month, Zhang Ruijuan suddenly wanted to live in Gan Ruju's new house, and asked her to bring her underwear and some gold and silver soft clothes.
Gan Ruju was pleasantly surprised, Zhang Ruijuan only said that it was to make her happier during the Dragon Boat Festival and better celebrate the festival with Zhang Dun's family, and at the housewarming banquet, Zhang Dun also showed the intention of marrying Gan Ruju.
It's just that Gan Ruju excused herself that the two sons of the Lu family would not agree to her remarry, and politely refused Zhang Dun.
Gao Youquan doesn't have much jealousy about Zhang Dun and Gan Ruju's ambiguous attitude, even if he really marries Zhang Dun, it is not bad for him to be able to get a lot of money from the Zhang family.
Although the new house is in the suburbs, it is indeed surrounded by flowers, the environment is very quiet and beautiful, and the pavilions and pavilions are very luxurious and exquisite.
Gan Ruju was very satisfied, and after living for half a month, Gao Youquan went a few times, and there was nothing unusual.
On May 18, Hu Yonggang's case had been decided, and Hu Yonggang and his others were to be beheaded and exiled.
On this day, Gao Youquan was very happy in his heart, thinking that Hu Xianxian had also united with Cheng Haofeng and their old friends, and jointly wrote to the emperor to request a change of sentence, but the book only said some words of pleading without pain, no one dared to analyze the case in detail, and Han Zexi also vaguely agreed to order a retrial.
What can be found in the trial? Most of the detainees were severely tortured, and they only wanted to die happily, and the few who were left without recruitment could not bear it, and it was expected that the matter would be a foregone conclusion, and it would be difficult for Hu Xianxian to overturn the case.
Tonight, taking advantage of the moonlight, I went to find the sweet chrysanthemum party, and I was particularly excited.
The Zhang family originally made a fortune by planting flowers and trees, so although it was not spring, the new house of Nagan Ruju was still full of flowers, and the Zhang family sent a lot of jasmine, yueji, pomegranate and other seasonal flowers.
The lush foliage and swaying shadows of the trees add a cool touch to the hot weather and make people feel refreshed.
Gao Youquan couldn't help but feel that the fragrance of flowers hit people, and his muscles and bones were like crisps, maybe it was because he drank wine to feel like this, or maybe it was because his body was recovering better and better, and he was more and more happy about men and women.
With a pounding heart, Gao Youquan drove straight outside Gan Ruju's bedroom, and gently pushed the door open, only to see Gan Ruju lying on the bed, sighing.
The pink cheeks have lost their rouge color, the apricot eyes are full of tears, and the longing for the lover makes people toss and turn and it is difficult to sleep.
Seeing Gao You's full-body shadow, Gan Ruju's eyes suddenly became bright.
And her hairpins and sideburns are messy, smiling and tearful, which also makes Gao Youquan a little emotional.
"The jade man locks the empty room, I don't know when Tan Lang will come? Lonely and desolate! Gao Youquan asked her with a chic smile, "I don't know if the little lady is willing to be accepted as a guest of the curtain and comfort her loneliness?" β
Gan Ruju's expression was slightly stiff and shyly turned her head, Gao Youquan put Conglong Jinfu on the table next to him, blew out half of the residual lamp, and walked towards Gan Ruju.
Just as he was about to reach out to uncover the brocade quilt, about to embrace the warm fragrant nephrite, a strong wind struck, enveloping him in a cold murderous aura.
He popped out the aura light shield in time, and in an instant, he summoned Long Jin in his hand, sparks flew everywhere, and a loud roar sounded, blocking the attack!
"Hu Xianxian, are you stupid to me? I had already noticed an abnormal aura when I entered the house, but I just wanted to find out who wanted to assassinate me, so I would make a plan! β
The person who hid under Gan Ruju's nest and attacked was Hu Xianxian, who failed to succeed in one blow, and she was not angry, after receiving the Huixin jade sword, she said to Gao Youquan in a cold voice: "Give me a retrial, change the sentence, and spare you from dying!" β
"You are so naΓ―ve! Hmph......" Gao Youquan sneered coldly, "If I die, not only will I not achieve your goal, but they will also increase the sin and implicate you!" β
Gao Youquan is the informant behind the scenes, but Che Chi is not a puppet, and the decided case is difficult to change, no matter whether Gao Youquan lives or dies, he can't save Hu Yonggang and them.
"I didn't say I was going to kill you with a sword." Hu Xianxian tilted his head, flashed his big eyes and said, "I want you to be tortured and die slowly, and when it comes to the pain of life, you will naturally be at my mercy!" β
