Chapter 143: Doubts Over the Years (15)

The woman walked to the hall and knelt down, and said respectfully: "Slave Xiaoyi, knock to see the emperor, the queen." ”

Lu Jinxiu's face turned blue and said, "Who are you?" ”

Xiaoyi: "The slave maid is the personal maid of Mrs. Command, and my wife is inconvenient and cannot come to testify, so she has to come to identify her." ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally silent crowd once again burst into flames.

"Lady Fate? Which Lady of Commandment? ”

"If there is any other lady who has an order, I can't be the only one!"

"Mrs. Pingnanhou? Isn't there no life left in the Hou Mansion? ”

"What the hell is going on?"

……

Xiao Yuexi ignored the sound of discussion, and greeted with a smile: "Xiaoyi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Yi said gently: "Yes, Mrs. Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Yuexi's acquaintance with him almost confirmed the identity of this Xiaoyi. Xiao Yuexi continued: "Xiaoyi, if you want to identify something, just say it, think about it and then talk about it, in front of the emperor and queen and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you must not be untruthful. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yi bowed down, and when he straightened up, his face was very peaceful, and his tone was the same: "Your Majesty, on the day the Hou Mansion went to the water, the slave and maid bumped into the arsonist, who was still carrying fire oil in his hand, trying to make the fire more intense. It's a pity that the slave maid is not in good shape, and he is worried about the safety of my wife, so he let him escape in desperation. ”

Xiao Yuexi nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Xiaoyi, can you see the appearance of the arsonist?" ”

Xiaoyi nodded without hesitation and said: "I can see clearly, that person is not very tall, with a Chinese face, and his eyes are very bright, but his nose is flat and his face is pockmarked, which looks a little scary." ”

After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the Taibao Mansion handyman kneeling behind her. Xiaoyi's description is exactly as if he is talking about him. Sensing the strange gaze of the people around him, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look behind him, and then as if he had just discovered the existence of this person, he was surprised: "Ah! Isn't that him? ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced at the handyman, and when she saw that he was still calm, she added a little admiration in her heart, and turned to Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you can't talk nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that this person in the Taibao Mansion is the arsonist?" ”

Xiao Yi said: "Before he escaped, the slave stabbed him in the shoulder with a dagger, the wound was not shallow, and it may be difficult to heal in a few days." ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yuexi looked at His Majesty the Emperor. The latter understood, and said indifferently: "Come on, take it down to test it." ”

"Yes." He Tong answered, and with a wave of his hand, he took a few little eunuchs to detain the handyman. Unexpectedly, a mouthful of black blood suddenly overflowed from the mouth, and it turned out to be a poison sac hidden in the back tooth socket. He Tong probed his snort and said, "Your Majesty, this person is angry." ”

Mu Yun said indifferently: "Drag it down and see if there is any injury on the shoulder." ”

"Yes."

Mu Yun said lightly: "Wait! Drag the civilian down for interrogation. ”

He Tong should be again, but the civilian didn't dare, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and after a while, his forehead was red, and the ghost cried wolf: "Your Majesty...... Emperor! The grass people really don't know anything! Just because the grass people have some kung fu, Lu Taibao entrusted the grass people to keep an eye on Ping Nanhou's every move. ”

Lu Zhiheng was extremely angry and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! ”

The civilian's heart was crossed, and he ignored Lu Taibao and continued: "The grass people also just discovered that the siege of the city was not the Marquis of Pingnan at all, so they were in a hurry to report to Beijing, and the other grass people really don't know anything!" ”

Mu Yun listened to his confession quietly, but he was noncommittal, and snorted coldly: "Drag it down." ”

So, with a ghost crying wolf, the two key witnesses were dragged out. Mu Yun turned his head to look at Lu Zhiheng lightly, he couldn't see any emotional ups and downs on his face, and asked indifferently: "Does Lu Taibao have anything to defend himself?" ”

Lu Zhiheng listened for a long time, his face turned from blue to black and then white, and finally calmed down, as if he had seen it, and seemed to have a clear conscience, he said very calmly: "The piles and piles all point to the ministers, and the ministers can't tell the difference, and I hope the emperor will see it." ”

Mu Yun said lightly: "In this case, then I will temporarily remove the official uniform of Lu Taibao and transfer it to Dali Temple for trial, Zhu Qing has no opinion, right?" ”

Who dares to have an opinion?

Everyone looked at each other, today's Qianqiu banquet is like a farce, and now the farce is coming to an end, but the people are still in the clouds.

Mu Yun saw everyone's doubts lightly, and consciously explained: "Pingnan Hou Mansion went to the water, I didn't know much earlier than others, but I heard that someone deliberately set the fire, so I thought about the next set to let the arsonist get in by himself, and the lady of the Hou Mansion is now safe and sound in a safe place, and the news that the Hou Mansion has not been spared is also released by me." ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and a thought faintly popped up in their hearts - their majesty the emperor is not a person who can't use his brains, this chain is linked one ring after another, and the plan is good!

Mu Yunqing continued: "Immediately after that, I sent a secret letter to Pingnanhou to be careful, and soon, someone approached Pingnanhou and told him about the tragedy in the Hou Mansion. So there was a saying that the Marquis of Pingnan led his troops to besiege the city, which was the excerpt I had just read. Mu Yun lightly unfolded the fold that he had just finished reading and put in his hand to show everyone, but it was empty. He added: "The Marquis of Ping Nan has never left the southern border at all, everything is just a ploy to lure the arsonist to take the bait." ”

That's too wise! not only successfully caught the arsonist, but also implicated Lu Taibao, which is simply ......

Mu Yun let out a long breath, as if he had just remembered, looked at Father Zhao and said, "Lord Zhao, you have not made much achievements in the Criminal Department for so many years, and today I will allow you to say goodbye to old age in advance." ”

“…… Emperor?! Father Zhao was so frightened that his tone changed.

Mu Yunqing ignored him, what he said just now was just a notice, and he was not asking for his opinion, so naturally he didn't have to pay attention to anyone. He turned his gaze to Zhao Ronghua's body again, and said with a smile: "As for the Ronghua Zhao family, he is flying and domineering, has no respect for the etiquette and law, and dares to shout in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of other countries, and there is no female virtue at all." There are no such characters in the palace, so let's go out of the palace with your father. ”

Zhao Ronghua woke up easily, and when he heard such bad news, he couldn't wait to faint again, but he was top-heavy, his brain was extremely clear, he knew where he was, and he knew what he was going to face, and suddenly he was sad, and his eyes at Xiao Yuexi became even more jealous.

Mu Yun raised his hand lightly, and immediately several guards stepped forward and lifted the father and daughter who had become commoners in the blink of an eye and dragged them out. He looked around at everyone and said lightly: "You must be tired after watching the excitement for so long. Today's palace banquet is really not interesting, let's disperse it early! ”

"Wait for the resignation!" The ministers bowed in an orderly manner and withdrew.

Mu Yunqing's gaze finally fell on the envoy sitting in the banquet, and said kindly: "If Prince Tortoiseshell is free, why don't you stay in the palace and have a cup of tea?" ”

Yu Jinze said: "I am more interested in patients than tea. His gaze fell on Mu Yanyu, who had no intention of leaving, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if His Royal Highness has thought about it properly?" Do you want to use Jinze's medicine? ”

It is not easy for Mu Yanyu to persist until now, at this time, his face is even paler, his breathing is a little heavier, and he is not breathing: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good intention, how can this king not appreciate it, I don't know how to use this medicine?" ”

Yu Jinze didn't answer, but said lightly to Mu Yun: "Since His Royal Highness also agrees to use medicine, then please ask Emperor Yelan to provide a dormitory, Jin Ze wants to treat His Royal Highness immediately." Shen Zhen's stubborn disease can be cured, but the side effect of being harmed by the poison pit in his early years, Jin Ze can't think of a way for the time being. ”

Xiao Yuexi was a little dazed, wasn't the side effect of the poison falling just that she was weak and sickly? What else? Suspicious, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help but glance at Mu Yun, only to find out at a glance that Lu Jinxiu hadn't left yet, and was staring at Xiao Yuexi.

Xiao Yuexi looked inexplicable, and when she saw that everyone was almost gone, she walked up to Mu Yunqing and asked with a full face. Mu Yun only glanced at it, and knew what she wanted to ask, her expression was a little complicated, and it took a while to lower her voice and say in her ear: "I'll tell you later." ”

"Oh......"

After a while, the eyeless Lu Jinxiu was sent away mercilessly by His Majesty the Emperor, and he didn't care what day it was. When Lu Jinxiu left, Xiao Yuexi could see clearly, her face was iron blue, and her eyes were red, but unfortunately no one cared about her. Xiao Yuexi noticed her, or because she knew that she was bound to tell the Queen Mother about today's events, and there was something missing, Xiao Yuexi still secretly sent Fengshuangxue out.

The dormitory prepared by Mu Yunqing was in the back pavilion of Weiyang Palace, and Yu Jinze said very solemnly before treatment: "Jin Ze knows that the two of them are very worried about His Royal Highness, but Jin Ze also has his own rules for diagnosing and treating patients, and he doesn't like anyone to disturb him." ”

Mu Yunqing seemed to be indifferent, but Xiao Yuexi understood that he still didn't trust most of the people in his heart. After thinking about it, Xiao Yuexi said abruptly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have a friend who is now working as a doctor in the Tai Hospital, and His Royal Highness King Xian was responsible for the previous diagnosis and treatment, I don't know if you have anything to ask him before the diagnosis and treatment, do you need me to send someone to call him?" ”

Mu Yun glanced at her approvingly and didn't make a sound, but Yu Jinze smiled: "Mrs. Xiao, can't you believe Jinze?" ”

"Where!" The sincerity on Xiao Yuexi's face is enough to confuse the real with the fake. "I'm just worried that if you really have any problems in a while, it will be too late to call someone now!"

"That's it!" Yu Jinze said with a smile. "Since Mrs. Xiao's friend is also a healer, it won't be helpful to put it around, go and please, anyway, His Royal Highness the prince's illness is not in a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to wait for a while."
