Chapter 296: Someone is getting in the way
He was silent for a while, and when he saw Emperor Jiayi motioning for him to continue, he said, "The minister inferred...... The reason why the queen mother kept the Zhao family was not because she thought of the love of blood relatives, but because she ......"
"And what?"
It's because Zhao Jing has her handle hidden in her hand, and she can give the queen a fatal blow. Keeping the Zhao family will have clues to discover where Zhao Jing is hiding.
Zhao Jing's family is now in prison, and no one knows if there will be the queen's eyeliner around......
But if Zhao Jing thought of a way to infiltrate the prison and communicate with anyone, the queen mother might be the first to discover his traces, but quickly erased him.
Lin Hanzhang's eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings: "The day Zhao Jing is erased, it is also the day when Zhao Jing's family dies violently." ”
"Lin Qing's analysis is leaky, I am really ashamed of myself." Emperor Jiayi shook his head and said helplessly: "Then you have interrogated from Zhao Tianlin, why did Zhao Jing want to commit treason?" ”
"Coercion and temptation have been tried, and in the end, Zhao Tianlin only agreed to the requirements as a witness." Lin Hanzhang paused slightly, "After all, Zhao Tianlin is just a helper of Zhao Jing, and he may not know everything about it." ”
"Okay." Emperor Jiayi nodded, and said, "There is another matter that I don't know Lin Qing can find out." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Who killed Shishi?" His face was slightly sad, Lin Hanzhang never thought that a servant would be able to make Emperor Jiayi so attentive.
He pondered for a moment and said in his heart: "Maybe it's because the appearance of the young master and the deceased concubine is too similar......"
Seeing that Emperor Jiayi was still looking at him.
Lin Hanzhang said: "The minister came back this time to report this matter to the emperor. The girl did not hang herself, but someone deliberately sneaked into her house at midnight, strangled her, and then hung herself on a beam to create the illusion of hanging. ”
After that, the ministers went to investigate her house again, but found that it had been cleaned.
Emperor Jiayi also heard the question, "Since it is the place where the incident occurred, how can it be cleaned at will?" There must be something strange in this. ”
"Yes." Lin Hanzhang responded: "Therefore, the minister made a way to lure out the maid who cleaned up, this woman is a person from Miaojiang, and when the minister confronted her, she was also injured, but fortunately, she asked the question." The person behind the scenes is Jingzhao Yin Lin Guifei. ”
Emperor Jiayi was a little incredulous, "Jing Zhaoyin? Why did Lin Guifei do such a thing? ”
Lin Hanzhang's face was a little weird, "I don't know if Your Majesty can know that Lord Jing Zhaoyin is a matter of broken sleeves." ”
Emperor Jiayi said without thinking: "This is something that everyone in Beijing knows. ”
"Okay, now that the emperor already knows about this, he also knows that Jing Zhaoyin once had a personal relationship with Zhang Caichen, the commander of the Beida Battalion."
Emperor Jiayi nodded, "Zhang Caichen looks a little delicate, and it is not strange that Lin Guifei has taken a fancy to him." What does it have to do with the teacher? It's ......"
His expression suddenly became gloomy, "Could it be that because of the matter of passing the letter to me before, there was a separation between Lin Guifei and Zhang Caichen, so Lin Guifei blamed the teacher for this matter?" ”
Lin Hanzhang nodded, "Your Majesty is not wrong with what he thinks, but Lin Guifei is really out of mind this time." Murder is going to be revealed no matter what...... Perhaps Concubine Lin never thought that Prince Gong would pay so much attention to this matter. ”
Emperor Jiayi was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, what does Lin Qing think should be done now?" ”
Lin Hanzhang shook his head, "Let's not move, now is not the most critical moment to alarm Lin Guifei." ”
Suddenly, there was a slight knocking sound from the inside of the wall, and Emperor Jiayi pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Let's stop here today." ”
After Lin Hanzhang respectfully bowed, after leaving the house, he ran in the direction of the prince's mansion.
He pulled down his mask, and his scarlet robe was bright in the night.
And the reason why Emperor Jiayi was able to be idle today must be because Shen Huaijin came back and shared his worries in official business.
Inside the study.
Shen Ruying made tea and brought it into the study, seeing that Shen Huaijin frowned tightly and said nothing, knowing that he must be worried about business again, so he left quietly.
This time, Shen Huaijin quietly returned to the palace, but she didn't tell anyone, so the moment she saw Shen Huaijin in the study, she was surprised and happy in her heart, and it was hard to express her excitement.
After Shen Huaijin saw Shen Ruying leave, he said softly: "Come out." ”
Lin Hanzhang walked out from behind the screen, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
Then he said: "I went to see the emperor just now, and explained everything before to him." ”
"Now in the capital, there are still two things that have not been completed, the first is who is the person who strangled the young girl, and the other is to keep an eye on Zhao Jing's relatives."
Shen Huaijin rubbed his eyebrows, "There is another plague in Yingzhou, and there are countless deaths and injuries right now. The emperor has transferred several imperial doctors in the palace and a batch of herbs to Yingzhou, but I am still a little worried. ”
"What does the prince mean......" Lin Hanzhang stared at him for a while, and then looked away, "What does the prince mean, do you want to go to Yingzhou to have a look?" ”
Shen Huaijin nodded, with a slight sadness between his eyebrows: "Yingzhou is already sparsely populated, if the plague cannot be properly controlled this time, it will be necessary to forcibly relocate some people to Yingzhou in the future." ”
Lin Hanzhang said: "What are the plans of the prince, such as who to bring over?" In addition, does the Beida Battalion have to send some people to rush to support? ”
"It's not a war, just transfer a few men and doctors, and bring some disaster relief materials - such as gauze, herbs, food, etc." Shen Huaijin glanced at Lin Hanzhang with a little curiosity.
Flipping over the map on the table, "Yingzhou is a pure land of splendid mountains and rivers, how can a large-scale plague break out?" ”
Lin Hanzhang glanced at the map and thought for a moment, "Does the prince suspect that this plague is coming from an unknown source?" ”
Shen Huaijin nodded, "But it's not inferred out of thin air," he took out a letter from the desk drawer and put it on the table, "This is the news sent back by Yingzhou." ”
The envelope was doused with fire paint, which is usually used only in emergency military situations, so you can imagine how urgent the matter was.
Lin Hanzhang opened the letter without thinking, glanced at it and said, "Someone must have made an obstacle to this matter." ”
Shen Huaijin's brows widened at this time, and he agreed: "When the emperor told me that the plague broke out in Yingzhou, I already had suspicions, so I sent a few spies to check the situation, and sure enough, I found some clues. ”
But...... The leopard in the tube is too arbitrary, and it needs to be checked.
