The Criminal Department reluctantly accepted the case.

The dispute between the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven involved the Yu family, which had deep roots. Who wants to wade into such obvious muddy waters? However, the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree, this hot potato, if you don't take it, you have to take it.

Tong Shangshu was so worried that he didn't sleep all night, and a ring of hair fell off the top of his head.

When Emperor Jian'an was still alive, he, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had tried several cases against his will. The Yu family must investigate, but in the end, which step to find out, and how to handle the proportion during the period, is a profound knowledge.

Tong Shangshu and Fang Ge Lao had a good personal relationship, and went to Fang Mansion privately.

Elder Fang Ge asked meaningfully: "How many birthdays is the Queen Mother this year?" ”

Fifty-two.

A number suddenly flashed in Tong Shangshu's mind. At this age, it's really not small.

Elder Fang Ge said slowly: "How old is the emperor this year?" ”

Twenty-one! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a young man!

One is dying, and the other is in full swing. One is the Queen Mother, who should not interfere in politics. The other is the Ninety-Five, the Son of Heaven.

How to stand in line, do you need to think about it?

Tong Shangshu suddenly brightened up, and thanked him: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Elder Fang Ge smiled and said meaningfully, "If what I expected is right, next, the Criminal Department will still be busy." You have to be prepared. ”

……

As an old fox in the officialdom, Fang Ge Lao has already glimpsed the first turmoil after the new emperor ascended the throne, as well as the next court shock.

The Yu family is not a mud ball to be rubbed, and the Empress Dowager Yu is not a good stubble.

The emperor and queen made a move, did Empress Dowager Yu and Yu Jiayan have a reason not to fight back?

Sure enough, the Criminal Department sent people to investigate the Yu family, but before they could find out important evidence, they only arrested a few distant clansmen. Rumors about Empress Xie spread all over the world.

The rumors came from nowhere, and they were extremely ferocious, spreading throughout the capital in a very short period of time.

Queen Xie was disobedient and unfilial when she was young, and treated her biological mother and brother harshly. The biological mother is still locked up in the Xie family's house, and the elder brother has his right leg broken and is locked up in the old house in Lin'an.

Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ruthlessly ignored the concubine and the eldest son for his glorious future. Speaking of which, the fake marriage between Xie Shangshu and the county lord of Yongning has to be mentioned.

In order to cling to the ruined Huainan Palace, Lord Xie was willing to use it as a pretense to be a fake couple with the late Yongning County Lord. With the help of his father-in-law, he became a Honglu Temple.

How can this kind of mental character be worthy of being the most noble of the six books of the Ministry of Rites?

Going back further, Mrs. Xie is just a poor and sour talent, and after dying in the main room, she actually married a good secret prostitute in order to make a living. Eh, that secret prostitute has now turned into a second-grade lady of fate!

The Yu family hides dirt and dirt, and the Xie family is not much better!

The ugliness of the Xie family, which cannot be publicized, is like boiling snow, floating everywhere.

Empress Xie's painstaking reputation is crumbling and about to be ruined.

Empress Dowager Yu was very angry when she heard the rumors, and issued an edict to summon all the female relatives of the Xie family into the palace. Summoned Xie Yuanting and his wife back to Beijing again, to thoroughly investigate the matter, and return Queen Xie a "clean house".

It will take some time for Feng Zhi to go to Lin'an, and the ladies of the Xie family who are in the capital accept Feng Zhi with trepidation.

……

The serious female dependents of the Xie family are only the Xu family and the Que family.

As a concubine, Aunt Ding has been living in deep recuperation and has not been exposed. Xie Jun also has two concubines with children, namely Chun Tao and Qiu Ju. The concubine is not allowed to be on the stage, and she is not qualified to be called a female dependent.

However, Yu Qiao, the female official who came to Xie Jiaxuan's message, said very clearly: "The Queen Mother wants to see the biological mother of the Queen Mother and let Aunt Ding enter the palace together." ”

Xu Shi said boldly: "Aunt Ding has been seriously ill for a long time, and she has long lost her mind, if she enters the palace and collides with the Queen Mother, what should I do?" Or ......"

"Old Madam Xu doesn't have to worry." The corners of Yu Qiao's mouth pulled a sarcastic smile: "As long as you follow the will of the Queen Mother." ”

That old lady Xu was full of disdain and mockery.

The fact that the Xu family was a secret prostitute has been spread. Yu Qiao, who used to look at the Xu family very unpleasantly, now has more disdain.

Such filthy and filthy people are not worthy of being Mrs. Decree!

No matter how old and thick Xu's face is, it is also hot at this time. After thinking about it, the news of this matter has spread, and I can't cover it up if I want to. If you can't even stop the contemptuous gaze of a palace maid, how can you go out of the house to see people in the future?

People are shameless, invincible in the world!

Xu Shi took out the face and courage of the past in the market, straightened his chest and said, "You said this. If Aunt Ding speaks carelessly in the palace and angers the Queen Mother, I can't blame me. ”

Then he said: "You wait here, I will personally go to Lanxiang Courtyard and ask Aunt Ding to come out." ”

I want to go and "mention" Aunt Ding in person!

Yu Qiao resisted the urge to snort coldly and responded lightly.

As long as Aunt Ding appears in front of people and completely tears off Queen Xie's hypocritical mask, the trip will be successful. Xu's little bit of careful thinking and scheming is not worth taking to heart at all.

……

The situation was urgent, and the Xu family could no longer care about the demeanor of being a second-grade lady, so he hurried to the Lanxiang Courtyard and opened the lock himself.

This orchid courtyard, like a cage, imprisoned Aunt Ding in it, and completely isolated Aunt Ding's ears and eyes.

Aunt Ding, who looked blank, neither asked for peace nor saluted after seeing Xu, and did not react.

Xu stared at Aunt Ding: "The Queen Mother sent someone to let us enter the palace together for questioning." ”

Aunt Ding's pupils contracted suddenly, and her numb face suddenly had an expression.

Entering the palace?

The Queen Mother?

Could it be that she finally survived to the end of her life?

Xu said coldly: "Ding Hanxiang, let me tell you, when you enter the palace today, you can't make a mistake by half a word." If half a word involves the queen's mother, Ah Jun will be the first to spare you. The Xie family can't tolerate you anymore. ”

"Xie Yuanting and his wife will soon be taken to the capital."

"If you dare to bite the queen's mother, I will take Xie Yuanting's life!"

The last sentence is extremely ruthless!

Aunt Ding's whole body trembled, her eyes flashed with fear, and her voice was hoarse: "Yuan Ting has suffered a lot over the years. How can it offset the mistakes of the past. ”

"If you dare to do something to Yuanting, I will risk this life, and I will also make the Xie family uneasy!"

Xu sneered: "You really dare to risk your life, I want to look down on you." ”

Aunt Ding: "......"

"In short, you keep this in mind, no matter how the Queen Mother asks you, you can't say that the Queen Mother is not at all." Xu Shi said ruthlessly: "Otherwise, you will 'die' in the Lanxiang Courtyard at any time." happened to go to the underground of Huangquan to reunite with Xie Yuanting's mother and son. ”
