Chapter Eighty-Five: The Fate of the Singer
The moonlight dissolved, but Lin Qingzhi didn't feel sleepy at all, since she made a few clothes for the little boy in her belly, she began to fiddle with some medicinal herbs and powders again, and she often saw it late when she read a medical book.
Lily and turnip were not unreminded, but Lin Qingzhi only deduced that they could be used in the future and be prepared.
Lin Qingzhi suddenly felt a slight movement on her stomach, and the feeling of being as shallow as a fish swimming in the water came for a while, and her impetuous heart gradually quieted down, and a comfortable smile appeared on her face.
Thinking that a life is slowly growing in her belly, Lin Qingzhi feels extremely happy and at ease.
Lin Qingji hadn't been here since Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one knew where he was, except Lin Qingzhi.
Lin Qingzhi rarely goes out again, only occasionally Lily and Wuzhi will go out to buy some supplies at hand, as for food, it is not something they need to worry about at all, because there are special supply vendors in this house who will send them to the door.
Murong Qing still comes to the small courtyard every day to sit for a while, but most of the time it is the divine dragon who sees the beginning and the end, after all, he is taking care of the affairs of the entire Murong family now, and he must be busy.
This day is the Lantern Festival, in the evening, Wulu and Lily went out to see the Lantern Festival, Lin Qingzhi was leaning alone on the couch with a book to read, sleepy under the dim candlelight, squeak, the door opened with a gust of cold wind, a black shadow flashed into the house, and called softly "A Zhi".
Lin Qingzhi raised her head and met Lin Qingji's clear eyes, took off her black cloak, Lin Qingji walked to the small stool and sat down, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all, and said: "After lurking for so many days, I finally found a clue, in the afternoon, the palm lamp was ten minutes, the back door of the prince's mansion, carried out a corpse, the little guys carried the body to the mass grave and buried it, I followed them all the way, guess what I found?" ”
"Is it a young female corpse?" Lin Qingzhi's eyes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth pursed and asked.
"Sure enough, it's still a little sister, you are like a god, what you said is true, it is a female corpse, it has not been cooled yet, but the whole body is bruised, and many places are traces of abuse, and the eyes are still wide open after death, and the death is miserable, alas, it is a pity that such a woman of flower age went like this." Lin Qingji shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of unbearable color.
"This is not the only one who has died tragically, in their eyes, human life is like a mustard, and women are like playthings." Lin Qingzhi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said coldly.
"The people have already been arranged, they are absolutely reliable, I have already ordered that person to claim the body, and go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion early tomorrow morning to beat the drum and voice the grievances." Lin Qingji's pupils shrank, and there was a shining light in his eyes.
"Big brother, you have the talent to help the world, but now you can only hide in the dark and do these things, I'm sorry!" Lin Qingzhi lowered her eyes and covered the sadness and apology under her eyes.
"Ah Zhi, in the eyes of the eldest brother, nothing is as important as you now, my father is no longer there, the eldest brother is the only one of your relatives left, you must be good, as for what kind of talent to help the world, it also depends on which one is sitting on the dragon chair, if it is the current one, it is equivalent to useless if this talent is available."
"There will be a day when it will be used!" Lin Qingzhi looked up at the resolute face in front of him and said definitely.
"Ah Zhi, there is one thing I still want to remind you, I always feel that your master, he is not so simple. The two people next to you, you also have to be more careful. Lin Qingji looked around, and said in Lin Qingzhi's ear when he was sure that there was no one.
Lin Qingzhi took Lin Qingji's hand, quickly wrote three words in his palm, and then said loudly: "Big brother, don't worry, Master, Wuyu, and Lily are very good to me, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid that today's Azhi would not stand in front of you." Then he quickly glanced at Lin Qingji.
On the second day, Jingzhao Yin's Mansion ushered in an elderly couple early in the morning, the drums shook the sky, and only after Jingzhao Yin Sun Zhimin asked the reason clearly, it turned out that their daughter was sent to the Prince's Mansion by the imperial historian Wang Jifeng as a singer half a month ago, I thought that I could have no worries about food and clothing and no longer have to suffer from hardship and poverty, but I didn't expect that someone in their village passed by the mass grave yesterday and saw a female corpse, and the old couple thought of seeing their daughter a few days ago, and the daughter also had scars on her body and kept crying. I didn't expect to go to the mass grave and see that the female corpse was their daughter, so they ran to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to beat the drum and voice their grievances, why was the good daughter sent to the Prince's Mansion, and when she came out, it was a corpse covered in bruises.
After Jingzhao Yin Sun Zhimin understood the situation, he just said that he wanted to investigate the facts, and actually sent the old couple away, and secretly went to the prince's mansion, after all, although the emperor was not very satisfied with the prince, but after all, he did not abolish his crown prince's throne.
After the prince knew about this, he beat and scolded the little guy who was responsible for transporting the corpse that day, and thought that he would also solve the problem, but now that his mother Wang has been deposed, he can't visit him at will, and he can't give him advice.
Therefore, the prince ordered Jingzhao Yin Sun Zhimin to appease the two old couples with silver, saying that no matter how much silver it was, as long as it could be settled.
But they never expected that the old couple who could be willing to let their daughter be sent to the prince's mansion as a singer were not moved by the silver at all, and only insisted on seeking justice for their tragic daughter.
And somehow, overnight, the whole Luoyang City knew that the Prince's Mansion had killed a singer, and there were rumors that the bodies of women were often carried out in the Prince's Mansion, and they were all miserable, and even countless people were ravaged to death, and even at night there were often female ghosts in the Prince's Mansion crying.
The matter was unexpected by the prince and Jing Zhaoyin, the prince ordered someone to arrest the old couple, and under torture, the old couple refused to confess, only saying that it had nothing to do with the rumors and themselves, and they didn't know who spread it.
Until after the last dynasty, Zuo An of the Yushitai participated in a book, which made the emperor angry, and under the questioning, the prince only said that he didn't know, and kicked the matter to the little guy in the house, how could the emperor not know how his son was, but if the prince admitted it, it would be equivalent to slapping the face of the heavenly family, so he reprimanded the prince and only ordered the prince to strictly control the people in the house.
But Zuo An Zuo Yushi took out a roster, which was a list of singers and dancers sent to the prince's mansion by various courtiers in the past six months, which clearly wrote this woman named Yun Ji, and even pointed out that on the night of Yun Ji's death, the prince invited the prince's grandson and brother to have a banquet in the prince's mansion, and a child of the family witnessed the prince bring Yun Ji into the inner room.
There was an uproar in the court for a while, the emperor originally intended to suppress the matter, but he didn't expect Zuo An to give the emperor face at all, although this Zuo Yushi has always been famous for being upright, but this time Geng was a little bit unlikely, the emperor looked at him with eyes like a knife, but he couldn't see it, just knelt on the ground and didn't look up or back down.
In the end, there was really no way, and the emperor ordered Jingzhao Yin Sun Zhimin to thoroughly investigate the matter and give an explanation.
