Chapter 187: Follow-up
The wonderful Chinese New Year's Eve is also too lively, and the first day of the morning is particularly deserted.
Such a big thing as the assassination has long been spread in Qingyang. At the same time, officials who were supposed to be on annual leave rushed to report to work.
The whole city is under martial law, and to arrest the murderer, it is not necessary to arrest all the mastermind accomplices before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nor do you have to wait for the autumn to be pulled, and all the culprits will be cut down at the entrance of the vegetable market in the first month.
Not only Yanwang Mansion, but in the entire Qingyang City, there is no one who has a good year. Martial law, search for suspects, shocked the upper and lower people.
"I heard that the front and rear guard stations have been dispatched, and now there is a lot of noise in the city." Mr. Wang whispered.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, news flew all over the house, but it was only one night, and no one dared to say anything about it.
King Yan was furious and beat his own daughter to death. Those who talk a lot will also be killed.
There was a river of dead blood on the corner gate, and piles of corpses lay there, and how long the tongue was.
"What about the house, is there anything special?" Shen Xiu asked.
Mr. Wang: "The guard arrested people and tortured them, but they don't know life and death." ”
Although it is said that the time of the sacrifice is fixed, there are usually internal ghosts in this kind of assassination.
King Yan gave an order to solve the case within 15 days, and the officials were in a hurry, and it was inevitable that someone would die unjustly.
"Are any of the people in the house's family room arrested?" Shen Xiu asked.
There are too many people in King Yan's mansion, if you catch the ghosts, you should go to the front yard and the backyard. The women in the backyard know very little, and the people in the lower world know even less.
"Yes." Manager Wang said, "A little eunuch in the princess's house, and a little maid in the princess's house. ”
"Huh?" Shen Xiu was a little surprised.
Cheng Yuanniang will choke her breath at any time, but whether she lives or dies, she is Princess Cheng's maiden niece. If her subordinates are related to the assassination case, wouldn't this be directly aimed at Princess Cheng.
As for the Wu family, it is estimated that it is inappropriate to arrest only Cheng Yuanniang, and it is fair to arrest one of the princesses of the county without discrimination.
"It is said that it is because the Wu family is a merchant, and the people under their hands are miscellaneous, which may give thieves an opportunity." Mr. Wang said truthfully.
Shen Xiu was even more speechless when he heard it, and he also took a look at the Wu family's background, which was no one.
"In addition to these two places, the back garden is also stable." Manager Wang said, and said, "It is also the female official Su who manages it well." ”
Generally speaking, if the master at the top is messy, the person at the bottom will be even more messy.
Especially after someone is arrested, it is possible to make a mess into a pot of porridge. But in the back garden, there are a few rooms of female dependents, hundreds of subordinates, and there is no movement at all, this must be managed by Su Huaiyu.
"Yes, Lady Su is very capable." Shen Xiu said.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, when Han Xiao stayed overnight, she wanted to ask Han Xiao who Su Huaiyu was.
But for some reason, the words came to her lips, and she couldn't ask anymore.
If it was arranged by Han Xiao, why didn't Han Xiao tell her. He didn't say it, maybe he had his own reason, maybe it wasn't Han Xiao's arrangement at all.
Brother Shen Yue has hidden too many things, and she doesn't want to say things that shouldn't be said because of her too much mouth.
Let's do it first, she can understand Han Xiao's heart for her. She will also try her best to accept it, but this kind of calculating feelings, what will happen, she has no bottom in her heart.
I always wanted to live and live decently. It's the same with my wishes now, feelings or something, let's think about it later.
"One more thing......" said the chief manager, who wanted to speak and stopped.
Shen Xiu said: "Mr. Wang, please speak." ”
Now that the house is in the limelight, it is inconvenient for her to summon Yu Yongzhao, and all the sources of information are only Manager Wang.
Mr. Wang was counting on her to turn over, but he was very attentive. And when it comes to treacherous and slippery, Yu Yongzhao is also too treacherous and slippery, not as reliable as Mr. Wang.
"It's some rumors from Izumo Pavilion." Chief Manager Wang said carefully, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the county master passed on the doctor, and the county lord of Anning had a miscarriage. ”
My sister was ordered to be killed by my father, and the county lord of Anning stimulated too much and had a small birth, although it was sad, but it was also expected.
Shen Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It's just a rumor?" Didn't the county lord of Anning and the county master announce it? ”
The small production of the county lord of Anning is not a big deal in Yanwang's Mansion, and it doesn't matter if you say it or not.
Chief Manager Wang shook his head and said, "No, the county lord of Anning is closed, and the county master is by his side day and night." ”
The mouth of the subordinate, the county master didn't care, and there was some rumor in the house.
But he and the county lord of Anning himself didn't mention a word, the county lord of Anning may have been sad that his sister had passed away, and he didn't bother to mention it, but Xu Changqing was very deliberate.
"Since you didn't say it, then you don't know." Shen Xiu said, "We don't have to worry about the county lord's housework. ”
She understood what Chief Wang meant, the county lord of Anning was weak, but Xu Changqing was a powerful person.
King Yan is angry, if he says it publicly, the lord of Anning County has a miscarriage, it will be even more mean that King Yan is mean, and it will be a little bit more meaningful.
But this kind of thing, it's not interesting to hide it, if it reaches the ears of King Yan through the mouth of others, it may make King Yan feel a little guilty and have some pity for this little daughter.
Miscarriage is certainly not intentional, but it is also a common means to pay attention to and sympathize with miscarriage.
The county lord of Anning has no sense of existence, and Xu Changqing brushes it like this, which may improve the status of their husband and wife.
In common sense, it seems a little colder. But the palace is not a place to talk about common feelings, and Xu Changqing's character will make him live a better life.
"Yes, the minion understood." Manager Wang said, the master doesn't care about idle things, and the subordinates naturally won't talk much.
Shen Xiu's character is also very good, she likes trouble, and it is easier to get into trouble.
"The county master is so powerful, I believe it will give the county lord of Anning such a breath." Shen Xiuyi said.
Manager Wang said with a smile: "The Jing family has been imprisoned because they were involved in the assassination case. As for Jing Hao, he was even accused of being the mastermind, tortured in prison, and died a miserable death. ”
I really don't know who gave Jing Hao and the Jing family courage, thinking that if they treated An He like this, they would be peaceful.
Now that Jing Hao has died tragically, the whole clan has suffered, which can be regarded as a bad breath.
As for An He, who also died tragically, he really couldn't sympathize, he could only say that such a masterpiece is also difficult to find in the world.
"Alas, a dignified county lord ......" Shen Xiu sighed lightly, but did not say any more.
If it's really bad fate, you can also sigh a few words. But in the face of An He, even his feelings will turn into complaints.
What is good, I can only say that the final death is surprising.
Mr. Wang: "The county master ordered someone to ...... The bodies of the mother and son were collected and buried in the backyard of Qingyun Temple. He also did the rituals, and it was considered a proper burial. ”
"I hope that the county lord of Anning will live well and stop being stupid." Shen Xiu said to himself a little.
As the master and servant were talking, they heard the little girl outside say, "The prince is here......
Manager Wang hurriedly retreated, and Shen Xiu got up to greet the door.
"I've seen the prince." Shen Xiu said politely.
Han Xiao helped her up with a smile and said, "It's cold, it's warmer in the house, why bother coming out." ”
"On such a cold day, the prince is here, and the concubine should greet him." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
The cold weather is not the point, but when the key is that when she is so busy, Han Xiao will often come to see her.
Regarding the assassination, King Yan was a little suspicious that Han Xiao did it, and Han Xiao did have a reason to do so. On the contrary, it is Princess Cheng who most wishes that King Yan will live a long life.
Only if King Yan is alive, she, the princess, can control everything in the palace in the name of the prince. If King Yan dies and Han Xiao becomes the new king, she can only go to the backyard to retire.
"I want to see you." Han Xiao said.
The two entered the inner room, and Shen Xiu stepped forward to wait for Han Xiao to change his clothes, and said, "Has the prince eaten, do you want to prepare the kitchen?" ”
"Get ready, I'm a little hungry too." Han Xiao said.
Without Shen Xiu's instructions, Manager Wang personally went to the kitchen to arrange it to ensure that Han Xiao could eat comfortably.
"Let's have a cup of tea first." Shen Xiu came up with tea and saw that although Han Xiao had a smile on his face, there was a bit of hesitation in his eyes. With a thought, he said, "Lord Shizi, but you have something to say to me?" ”
Han Xiao looked at Shen Xiu, with a little approval, Shen Xiu is really good at observing the eyes, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the HSBC shipping company to meet my brother, do you want to go along?" ”
The bride will return to her parents' house in the first year of the first year of junior high school.
But this year's situation is special, all the activities in the house have stopped, not to mention the side concubines, and even the Wu family has not returned.
Shen Xiu has also been in the mansion for a while, and it is the New Year, so he should miss Shen Yue. It is really inconvenient to go alone, but I am afraid that Shen Xiu himself does not want to be so troublesome.
He was just about to go, so it was better to take her with him and let them see each other.
"The prince wants to see my brother?" Shen Xiu said, his expression was very subtle.
At this juncture, Han Xiao was not busy catching assassins, but went to see Shen Yue. She couldn't believe that he had gone to visit his relatives.
Could it be that Shen Yue had something to do with the assassins?
This, how is that possible. There's no reason for it, even if the assassin didn't intend to hurt people, he just deliberately gave people heads.
What is the purpose of provoking such a big incident?
"Hmm." Han Xiao nodded.
Shen Xiu waved her hand to let the girl in the house retreat, and then asked, "Is the prince suspicious of my brother?" ”
"No, it's just something I need to ask him." Han Xiao said, "HSBC is the first ship in the Great Zhou, with countless ships under its command and more people coming and going. Not only HSBC Shipping, but even Wujia Shipping was also investigated. ”
Shen Xiu understood a little, and said: "The assassin can enter Qingyang City, it is nothing more than two roads: sea and land, is the prince planning to start from the waterway?" ”
"Yes." Han Xiao said, "I know my brother's temper, if it is ...... It's not good to have a conflict, so I can save a lot of trouble by asking in person. ”
Shen Xiu pursed her lips and was silent, Han Xiao's reasons were impeccable, and he seemed to value his brother and himself even more.
But is it really that simple?
Just because his brother has a bad personality and others go to provoke Shen Yue, he kisses himself.
Han Xiao is really such a considerate person, why doesn't she believe it.
"I may not have seen my brother for a long time, but I am also very happy to be able to walk with the prince." Shen Xiu said.
