Chapter 178: Past Grievances
"Empress Dowager Qi, that doll was taken from this girl's hands, and the slave has already restrained this girl to prevent her from committing suicide......"
Liu Rang pointed to the little girl who was kneeling on the ground in front of him with a frightened face, and explained to the Queen Mother in a low voice.
"Very well done."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and nodded: "Such a cheap maid, if she easily loses her life, wouldn't it be cheaper for her?!" At least until she summons the mastermind behind the scenes, the mourning family wants her to live rather than die! ”
Liu Rang lowered his body and looked at the Queen Mother with a tentative expression: "What does the Queen Mother mean...... Is it to let the girl suffer first, and then let her confess? ”
But the little palace maid only shed tears vigorously, and her eyes were full of resistance, as if she was very afraid.
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and asked Liu Rang on the side: "Which palace is this little slut from?" Who are you close to? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, this little slut is a person from the Shangyi Bureau, her name is Xiu'er, and she is the new palace maid who entered the palace this year......"
Liu Rang said in a low voice: "You also know that this Shangyi Bureau, there are too many people in contact, almost all the female eunuchs of the main palace will come into contact with it, and the servants have already sent people to arrest all the people in the Shangyi Bureau, and the steward of the Shangyi Bureau, Mama Hou, has also brought it, but this matter is very important, and the minions are silent, waiting for the Empress Dowager's decree ......."
At the same time, Mama Hou, who was separated by a few rooms, was looking angrily at the expressionless guard eunuch in front of her at the moment.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"
Although Mama Hou was already a little hoarse, she still scolded loudly: "Mama Ben is also the master of the first game, who are you assigned to dare to imprison Mama Ben Mo here!" There is also our Shangyi Bureau, if there is really a problem, there will naturally be the queen mother and the emperor to punish you, you have no holy decree and no righteous decree, you dare to do such a thing! ”
"Mama has been scolding for so long, let's take a break!"
A little eunuch sneered and looked at Mama Hou with disdain: "Now that Mama has energy, it is better to think about how to save herself!" Since we can do something to your Shangyi Bureau, there is naturally a good reason, Mama, you can save your energy! ”
"You ......"
Mama Hou was stunned for a moment, and then a look of horror surged in her eyes: "Are you ......?"
"Tut-tut, I really didn't expect that after so many years, Mama can still remember the little ......"
The little eunuch sneered, his face full of the joy of revenge: "In that case, then the grandmother naturally remembers my father-in-law?" Mama, you say, will my father-in-law wait for Mama by the Naihe Bridge and go down to meet him? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Mama Hou seemed to think of something, hurriedly shuddered, and retorted loudly: "Your father-in-law did a foolish thing by himself back then, what does it have to do with Mama Ben?" It's been more than ten years, and your father-in-law's dead ghost has already been reincarnated, you, you hurry up and shut up for me! ”
"If Mama has a clear conscience, why is she afraid that the villain will mention my father-in-law?"
The little eunuch sneered: "I swore back then that I would definitely avenge my father-in-law, but now God really has eyes, and I actually let you fall into my hands......"
Speaking of this, the little eunuch paused, glanced up and down at Mama Hou, and said with a smile: "It's just that now that you have grown old like this, I don't know if my father-in-law will dislike you!" ”
Mama Hou has been proud all her life, how can she stand this kind of scornful contempt?
Immediately, his face turned red, and he just wanted to ridicule him, but suddenly he looked at the little eunuch with a suspicious face as if he had thought of something, and said loudly: "I know, you must be playing tricks on you!" You want to avenge your father-in-law, but you blame me for what happened back then! Lu Lu, Lu Lu, if you have hatred for me, just look for me alone, why bother to involve so many people up and down the Shangyi Bureau?! ”
It turned out that this little eunuch's name was Lu Lu, and many years ago, because he was the same villager and surname as the big eunuch in the palace, Lu Gonggong, he recognized his father-in-law and son-in-law.
And back then, Mama Hou was just an ordinary palace maid in the Shangyi Bureau, seeing that she was getting older and had no hope of promotion, but she was unwilling to be released from the palace like this, after all, a twenty-five or six-year-old woman had no dowry, and it was even more difficult to get out of the palace and marry a good family.
But at this time, Mama Hou caught up with the hot eunuch Lu Gonggong in the palace at that time.
In order to allow Mama Hou to continue to stay in the palace, Gong Lu used a lot of means to allow Mama Hou to squeeze out all the competitors, step by step, and gradually became the palace maid of the Shangyi Bureau.
But at this time, a series of changes occurred in the palace, and Gonggong Lu was implicated and involved in a rebellion case.
It's just that because of insufficient evidence, Gonggong Lu was originally released from the ground, but who knew that at this time, someone anonymously sent some "evidence" to the people above, although it had nothing to do with this rebellion case, but after operating in the palace for so many years, there would always be something unclean on his hands, and it was these unclean things that completely pushed Gonggong Lu to the edge of the cliff.
The person in charge of investigating the case saw that Father-in-law Lu had done so many things that hurt heaven and reason, so he directly executed Father-in-law Lu.
The most coincidental thing is that as soon as Grandpa Lu died, Mama Hou directly became the housekeeper of the Shangyi Bureau, so that even if Mama Hou didn't do it, everyone would think that Mama Hou did it, and the father-in-law Lu Lu in front of her was naturally the same.
"Mama must not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, although I want to avenge my father-in-law, I will not implicate the innocent, you can have this catastrophe today, or Mama should think about it, did you do something wrong!"
Lu Lu sneered, and no longer cared about the unpredictable look on Mama Hou's face, he left with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and humming a little song.
But these words made Mama Hou's heart like frying in hot oil, doubting and panicking, regretting and fearing, all kinds of negative emotions were mixed together, and she couldn't wait to know what was going on immediately, even if she died, she could die happily.
But whether it is Lu Lu who made a push from it, he arrested people so strangely, but he didn't give a reason, and it was really difficult to justify, besides, his status in the palace was not low, how could he be the master of a game......
Just when Mama Hou was thinking nonsense, suddenly the door in front of her was opened again.
Mama Hou's heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly raised her eyes, only to see that it was the great eunuch Liu Rang Liu Gonggong in the Queen Mother's palace.
Hurriedly squeezed out a smile from her face, Mama Hou greeted her, respectfully gave Liu Rang a salute, and then asked with a look of surprise: "Father-in-law Liu, for no reason, the slave and maid, the Shangyi Bureau, and the upper and lower people were all imprisoned, I don't know what the Shangyi Bureau did to make the upper authorities so angry?" ”
But Liu Rang's face was expressionless, and he did not have a moment of relaxation for Mama Hou's flattering attitude.
"You are the head of the Shangyi Bureau, what do you not know about the Shangyi Bureau?"
Liu Rang snorted coldly and squinted at Mama Hou: "Whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, as long as you are involved, it will be difficult to turn over!" Mama Hou, you are also an old man in the palace, you shouldn't know the rules of the palace......"
After saying this, Mama Hou's heart suddenly became cold.
After thinking about it, he begged again: "Father-in-law Liu, this is headless and brainless, the slave and maid don't even know what happened, this, this really makes the slave and maid unable to justify!" Isn't it the clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau that don't fit the Queen Mother's wishes? If this is the case, although Gonggong Liu taught the slave and maid a lesson, the slave and maid must serve the queen mother more dedicatedly, but now this battle is ......"
Mama Hou smiled bitterly: "Let's say it's a big deal, the slave didn't hear any wind at all; It's a trivial matter, but it implicates all the people in the Shangyi Bureau...... The slave really can't guess in her heart! ”
"So you don't know what's going on."
Liu Rang nodded, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "I'll just say, if you know, if you think about it, you are only scared at this moment, how can you not stop talking for a moment?" ”
After speaking, Liu Rang leaned down and whispered in Mama Hou's ear: "You people from the Shangyi Bureau have done witchcraft and murdered the Son of Heaven, and the evidence is conclusive!" Mama Hou, you said that in this way, you have lost your lives in the Shangyi Bureau, I'm afraid it won't be wronged! ”
Before she finished speaking, Mama Hou only heard the word "witch Gu", and she felt a thunderclap resounding in her ears, and the whole person was stunned, unable to react to anything, and subconsciously defecate, her hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cave.
I thought about it a lot, but I never thought about it, and I didn't dare to think that it was actually related to "witch Gu"!
Although Mama Hou has never read a book, she has lived in the palace for so many years, and naturally she has heard the older generation talk about a lot of palace secrets, and she has heard some about this witch incident.
It's just that anyone who gets involved with these two words will definitely bleed like a river, so if this person who is a witch Gu is really from the Shangyi Bureau, then he really can't wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River!
What's more, it was the Son of Heaven who murdered the emperor, so it was even more unforgivable!
After being stunned for a while, Mama Hou came back to her senses and found that the clothes on her back had been soaked with cold sweat.
"Liu, Liu's father-in-law......"
Mama Hou's upper and lower teeth began to tremble, but she had to hold on and say to Liu Gonggong: "My father-in-law just said that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but I don't know what the evidence is?" Well, who are the ones who do the great perverse things? Maybe someone deliberately murdered us, just to drag our Shangyi Bureau into the water......"
Thinking of this, Mama Hou suddenly trembled in her heart.
Regardless of whether this matter was deliberately arranged by Lu Lu, now it can only bite him!
If not, it is not only your own future that you will lose, but also the lives of everyone in the Shangyi Bureau!
