"I'm young, Daddy's business, and my eldest brother's, I don't know, but in the past few years, I've often seen Daddy frowning, sighing, and so is my eldest brother.

After the accident in the family, after Daddy and eldest brother were sued, Daddy said to me, let me remember, Daddy said that he married his eldest sister into the Jiang family, he thought that he was a backer for the Feng family, and Daddy said that it was because he wanted to take advantage of himself, and he was a bastard, which was Daddy's words. ”

I don't know which sentence touched Feng Jie, Feng Jie's voice choked violently, and after a moment, he continued: "Daddy said that in the seventeenth year of Zhiping, he received Jiang Niangniang's secret order, asking him to work with Shao Da Stick to rob and kill Bai Shuai's family ......from that time."

There was a gasping sound in the hall, but they were all trained in etiquette, and they were stunned like this, and no one dared to make a sound, and the emperor lost his manners.

The crown prince didn't make a sound, he wasn't worried about the loss of honor in front of the emperor, he was stunned and dumbfounded.

"Daddy said that at that time, he knew that the Feng family was afraid that they would not be able to escape the tragic death of the whole family,......

"What's the matter with robbing and killing the Bai family? Tell me about it! The emperor sharply interrupted Feng Jie's words.

"Yes, Daddy said, no, this is what the eldest brother said, the eldest brother said, the Bai family and the Su family got married, the eldest brother said that Jiang Niangniang was very angry, Daddy said that Bai Shuai was the pillar of the country, the eldest brother said that the Bai family had a very high prestige in the army, the Bai family and the Su family got married, Bai Shuai must help the Su family, Jiang Niangniang was unhappy because of this.

His father said that he went to the secret decree, no, it was an oracle, saying that he and his eldest brother couldn't sleep for a few nights, Daddy said that Jiang Niangniang was violent, and the messenger ordered by Niangniang, if it was done differently, even if it was only a little bit, Niangniang would kill people, this oracle, if Daddy dared not to obey, the Feng family would be destroyed immediately, but if he listened to Niangniang's orders, his father said that Bai Shuai could not die.

Later, the eldest brother said that he and Daddy still gritted their teeth and delayed for a few days, when Shao Da Bangzi robbed and killed Bai Shuai's family, Daddy did not move, and waited until Bai Shuai's family escaped from Shao Da Bangzi's hands, and Hangzhou, Daddy said that it was General Guan, and General Guan sent some people to protect Bai Shuai's family, knowing that he would definitely not be able to rob and kill Bai Shuai, Daddy and his eldest brother together, with people chasing for a few days, Daddy said that the Jiangyin army was far inferior to the Hangzhou army. ”

"Is this true?" The emperor's face turned blue, he raised his hand to stop Feng Jie, and looked at Bai Jingning, his voice was full of anger.

"Yes, on the way to Fujian, the minister was indeed robbed and killed by the pirates, but the minister thought at the time that the bandits robbed and killed the minister's family because he was afraid that after the minister led the coastal armies, he would clear the bandits and cut off their financial and livelihood routes, so he made the first move."

Bai Jingning took a step forward and replied unhurriedly.

"Then you say, what's the matter?" The emperor glanced at the prince coldly.

The prince only felt that his back was cold as if he was exposed in the ice and snow, and he and his aunt were afraid that this trip would be difficult to escape.

"Daddy was sued in the hands of the Xian Division, and the eldest brother said that it was not Daddy's doing, it was the benefits that Jiang Niangniang promised to Shao Da Stick, Shao Da Stick grabbed and killed well, and Jiang Niangniang asked Daddy to clear the tail for Shao Da Stick and take the blame.

The eldest brother said that the Jiang family's so-called maritime businessman started as a bandit, Shao Da Stick was originally the Jiang family's guard, and the Jiang family let him out to be a bandit, Shao Da Stick himself said, I heard it with my own ears, Shao Da Bangzi said to the eldest brother, let the eldest brother not blame him, he is a dog of the Jiang family, Shao Da Stick said, he received the order, to kill the Feng family. ”

Feng Jie cried, "It's the third sister and the fourth sister, and the sixth sister, the sixth sister hasn't been able to meet yet, so she recommended a pillow and begged me to stay...... One Life......"

Feng Jie thought about his sisters, his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, crying hoarsely.

There was silence in the hall, and only Feng Jie's heart-rending cry resounded.

The prince's leader, Sen Sen, is like ice water.

……………………

In the Qin Palace, in the warm pavilion next to the outer study, Li Xia sat on the kang, Guo Sheng stood near the door with his hands down, Han Shanggong stood opposite Guo Sheng, and the three of them were listening intently to what Eunuch Huang said about this morning.

Eunuch Huang said in great detail, what was the emperor's expression, how was the prince, what was Bai Jingning's attitude, and what was the Jiang family's people, as if he was standing on the scene.

After listening attentively, Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief gently, and smiled at Eunuch Huang: "Huang Daban has worked hard. ”

"Although Feng Jie didn't say everything, it seems to be better than expected." Guo Sheng looked at Li Xia with a happy face.

"Well," Li Xia replied casually, looked at Han Shanggong and said, "Tell the Yao family, if you order her to be in charge of the harem, you must hurry up." ”

"Yes." Han Shanggong responded first, looked at Li Xia, and hesitated a little.

"What Feng Jie said, whether it is true or not, has no real evidence, there is no real evidence, relying on what Feng Jie said alone will not hurt the Jiang family." Li Xia was silent for a moment, "We have a chance, but it's just a little gap for the emperor to let people investigate this matter, and there are many smart people in the Jiang family, especially Jiang Yanshi." ”

"Yes." Although Han Shanggong was still very puzzled, but this time he answered, he answered extremely simply, and after following Li Xia until now, her belief in Li Xia was no less than that of Empress Dowager Jin.

Han Shanggong withdrew with his hand down, and hurriedly went to arrange a message.

Guo Sheng looked at Li Xia and said, "Do you want to arrange for some real evidence to come out?" ”

"No, I don't. This is the end of the matter. Li Xia rejected Guo Sheng's suggestion, and was a little stunned.

The emperor's trust in the Jiang family is one of the things that she has not been able to fully understand from the past to the present, the emperor does not like the Jiang family, and even dislikes the Jiang family, but he trusts her, once upon a time, ......

Thinking of the past, Li Xia was in a trance, she hadn't remembered the past for a long time, and the past was not the past.

In the past, which was no longer there, until the end, the Jiang family died in the position of the queen, and until she died, she was the one in charge of the harem, although in the end, she was no longer able to control it.

As for Concubine Yao Xian, until his death, the emperor felt that the most loyal person in the entire harem was Concubine Yao Xian.

Thinking of this, Li Xia picked out a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she was surprised at first by the emperor's eyes, then with disdain, and then, even with disdain.

"You go to greet the prince, tell the prince, don't rush back, don't be in a hurry to come back, don't be in a hurry for two days on this day." Li Xia came out of his mind for a while and ordered Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng hurriedly agreed, and withdrew with his hands down.

Watching Guo Sheng go out, Li Xia looked at Eunuch Huang, "It's okay for a while, spread the word, for a while, everyone in the palace is not allowed to move, take good care of yourself." Jiang is an extremely shrewd person, sometimes, crises are also opportunities, and the opportunity to look at people cannot be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"Yes, don't worry, princess." Eunuch Huang bowed down and agreed, took a step back and stopped, looked up at Li Xia, and had a faint smile on his face, "If Niangniang has a spirit in the sky, she must be very relieved." ”

Li Xia was stunned, and there was an irrepressible sadness in his heart.

Niangniang is not in the spirit of the sky, Niangniang is the soul is scattered. She really knows that people have souls, and because she knows, she can't help but be sad.

In the evening of the same day, a decree came out in the palace, and Empress Jiang was detained in the palace to be investigated, and Concubine Yao Xian and the crown princess worked together to temporarily act as the affairs of the harem.

In the court, led by Yan Kuan, seven or eight people were selected from the six ministries and the Yushitai to inquire about the Feng family's case, in fact, it was the incident that Feng Jie accused Empress Jiang of robbing and killing Bai Jingning's family.

In the courtyard of Jiang Yanshi's study, which was in the corner of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yanshi and Mo Taojiang were standing under the corridor, their faces were very bad.

"Step by step." Jiang Yanshi sneered.

"The Bai family was indeed robbed and killed halfway? Is it really the mother's order? Mo Taojiang's brows tightened, with a trace of anger on his face.

"I found out afterwards, it's not Niangniang, it's a branch of Mingzhou." Jiang Yanshi replied very quickly, "Mr. also knows that the Jiang family's ideas overseas are all held in one hand in Mingzhou, and this trip to take the Feng family to the sea is also the Feng family's own opinion, if I can command and mobilize the gang of bandits at sea, how can I let go of the Feng family, and let them enter the capital safely, nonsense." ”

Mo Taojiang's face softened a lot, "Alas, the Jiang family is torn apart, this is not a sign of prosperity. ”

"I told Weng Weng about this, Weng Weng can't help it, this is the rule set by the ancestors of the Jiang family, Xu descendants go their own way, in the early years, there was even a rule in the clan that challenged killing."

"You killed your brother in the first place, that's the rule?" Mo Taojiang frowned.

"Well, the people of Mingzhou say that the Jiang family is a bandit, this is not wrong, the Jiang family did start with bandits, and ruled the family with bandits, in just seventy or eighty years, it was the first in Mingzhou, and it was a family that is as important as today, if the prince Shunshun took the throne immediately, the Jiang family may be able to become the second in the world, at least Weng Weng thinks that there is nothing bad about this ruling the family with bandits, or rather, there are pros and cons, but the pros outweigh the disadvantages."

Jiang Yanshi's voice was indifferent, as if he was not talking about the Jiang family, but a certain story in the pile of old papers.

"Ugh." After a while, Mo Taojiang sighed helplessly, "What are the plans of the child?" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Jiang Yanshi asked rhetorically.

"Niangniang can't have anything, whether it's Niangniang or not, this stigma can't fall on Niangniang's head, strict leadership, fairness, at least not too bad, ...... among the other eight people" Mo Taojiang curled his fingers, one by one and Jiang Yanshi said that the eight people who were drawn from the six departments and the Yushitai.

Jiang Yanshi listened attentively and listened very attentively.

“…… I thought that there was no real evidence for this matter, not even Bai Shumi," After a pause, Mo Taojiang looked at Jiang Yanshi and said: "The prince has to go to find Bai Shumi, to make him believe that the robbery and killing of him has nothing to do with Niangniang, has nothing to do with the prince, and the best, it has nothing to do with the Jiang family." ”

"The Jiang family can't completely tear it out, this is the work of the Mingzhou branch, Bai Shumi is a person who understands, I think it's better to tell the truth, in the future, I will definitely destroy the Mingzhou branch and give him an explanation." Jiang Yonsei's eyelids drooped slightly.

Mo Taojiang snorted, sighed again, and continued: "There is no real evidence, and if you can convince Bai Shumi, this matter is not a big deal, it's just that the emperor is there ......."

"This, we can only wait until the matter in front of us is solved." Jiang Yanshi's eyebrows were overflowing with trouble, "The emperor ordered the crown princess to take charge of the harem......"

"And Concubine Yao Xian." Mo Taojiang looked at Jiang Yanshi and reminded him.

Jiang Yanshi stayed for a while, looked at Mo Taojiang, and suddenly said, "This is her handiwork." ”

"Who?" Mo Taojiang asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, King Qin will be in the capital in the next few days." Jiang Yanshi immediately changed the subject.

"Yes, it's just a good time for him to come back." Mo Taojiang looked at Jiang Yanshi with a little suspicion.

"Sometimes, when one or two people die, the world is too peaceful." Jiang Yanshi was stunned for a while, looked at Mo Taojiang, and said suddenly.

"What? Who? Which one? King Qin? Mo Taojiang went from inexplicable to epiphany to stunned.

"Hmm." Jiang Yanshi looked at Mo Taojiang and hummed with great certainty.

"Ridiculous!" Mo Taojiang showed a little anger, "What's the difference between you and your Jiang family Mingzhou?" If you can rule the country and level the world by killing people, then it's good, you killed the King of Qin, what about the Changsha Palace? What about the Lu family? And the Ruan family, all killed? Kill one, to lead three families less, how many can you kill? ”

"I'm a little impatient, and my husband knows that I'm also a quick temper, but let's talk about it. Don't mind, sir. Jiang Yanshi rushed to Mo Tao and Jiang Chang to the end.

Mo Taojiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Speaking from the heart, Qin Wangye's trip to Jianghuai, everything he did was for the country and the people, when he was acting in charge of the military department before, he cleaned up the local garrison and helped Bai Shumi to suppress bandits, this is all for the country and the people, Gongzi has to learn to take a step back, and take a look at what the Qin Wangfu family has done without selfishness, instead of being like now, first set the Qin prince to the position of a rebel and thief who usurped power and seize the throne, and then look at what he did, the so-called suspect steals the axe, how can this work?" ”

"There is some truth in what you say, sir, I have written it down." Jiang Yanshi was silent for a moment and arched his hand.

At the beginning, he took a fancy to Mo Taojiang, partly because he took a fancy to his Zhongzheng, and Zhongzheng was like now, he always had to hit the south wall to know the evil of people's hearts.

In March, in the spring breeze, the people sent by King Qin, Lu Yi, and Guo Sheng, after a while, reported to Li Xia five or six times, and tomorrow afternoon, King Qin will be able to enter the city from Nanxun Gate, and after entering the palace to pay the decree, he will return to the house immediately.

Li Xia calculated the itinerary of King Qin, and before dawn the next day, he took a few girls who could ride horses and a group of guards to go out from Chenzhou Gate, along the post road, all the way out.

Li Xia's riding skills have long been practiced quite well, the post road from the capital to the outside is very wide, Li Xia is surrounded by all the girls and guards, facing the cold willow wind, riding like flying.

After running for more than half an hour in one breath, he bumped into the guards who were rushing to the palace of the capital to deliver the letter, and the guards hurriedly turned their horses' heads, mixed with the galloping team, and then welcomed back.

After a break or two, more than an hour later, Li Xia saw the Qincha flag raised high in the distance, as well as the winding convoy and the guards scattered on both sides of the convoy.

Li Xia stopped his horse, and the guard who reported the news whipped violently, and rushed over to report the news to the team, and the princess came to pick up the prince.
