Chapter 49: List of the Kou Family
Mama Meng stepped forward and looked at the tray carefully. It's all ordinary silk fabrics, and although the patterns are fresh, they are nothing special. It's just that Mama Meng felt that something was wrong, and if she looked closely, today's patterns and silk arrangements were different from those in the past, this is ......
Mama Meng turned around, looked at the Queen Mother, and nodded inexplicably.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and waved her hand: "Just do it according to the vision of Shangyi Palace, don't be picky." Then he withdrew everyone and said to Mama Meng: "Mama Meng, you have been following me for many years, if I remember correctly, the way to put it ...... me."
When Mama Meng heard this, she nodded, and said, "Queen Mother, that's right, that is the standard arrangement method requested by Concubine Li's mother back then, which was used to transmit information. β
The clothes and patterns sent by the ordinary Shangyi Palace are all clothes in front and patterns in the back, and the masters first choose the cloth and clothing they like, and then find suitable patterns.
And the white pear is ingenious, I think that the quality of the clothes, the most important thing is the color and texture, so when the white pear was alive, the system sent by the Shangyi Palace was all in the front and the clothes in the back.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but the Queen Mother had inadvertently discovered that this was a code, and the patterns and arrangements of the clothes received by Bai Pear were very particular.
Mama Meng hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "Queen Mother, this Pear Concubine has been dead for almost twenty years, and it stands to reason that no one should follow her example anymore." β
The Queen Mother sighed: "Yes, Concubine Li has been dead for so long, it stands to reason, how can anyone still know her secrets back then?" β
"Could it be a coincidence?" Mama Meng was puzzled.
"There are so many coincidences in this world?" The Queen Mother didn't believe it: "This matter is clearly that someone is telling the mourning family that Concubine Li still has the remaining forces in the palace." The intelligence network has not been abolished. β
"Queen Mother, the old slave is puzzled, who could it be?" Mama Meng was confused.
"No matter who it is, the demon concubine's things, there is nothing left in the palace!" There was a faint anger in the Queen Mother's voice.
When the emperor was three months, he always passed his palace without entering, resting in the palace of the demon concubine every day, completely ignoring his identity as the queen. And the demon concubine was even more arrogant, covering the sky with one hand, and creating an extremely detailed information network in the palace with one hand, eating herself to death. That intelligence network is pervasive, and when I think about it, I still make myself afraid, such a terrifying thing, I must not tolerate it to appear in the palace again.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's face turned a little colder: "Mama Meng, pass on my will, just say that I am now recovering from a serious illness, thank you for the grace of heaven, amnesty in the palace, all the palace people who have been in the palace for 10 years, and those who do not hold important positions in the palace, have received silver taels and returned to their hometowns." If they are appointed to important positions, they must take turns to serve in other palaces, and the monthly silver will be doubled. β
The Empress Dowager's move is to wash away most of the senior palace people in the palace. The rest of the old palace people used the method of rotation to replace them in the unfamiliar palace, and then suppressed.
Mama Meng nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, the old slave will do it." β
The news of the Queen Mother's amnesty in the palace soon spread, and naturally it also spread to Changle Palace.
"Niangniang-" The mandarin duck gave Kou Shu a haircut, and her words were a little worried: "The Queen Mother's move is strange, I'm afraid it's aimed at us." β
Kou Shu nodded, and then asked, "Has anyone been looking for the Queen Mother recently?" β
The mandarin duck was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Concubine Lan went to the Queen Mother yesterday, and the two stayed in the garden for a while. β
Kou Shu smiled slightly, most likely it was the stumbling block that this junior sister had given herself.
However, Bai Pear's intelligence network is well set up, after Bai Pear's death, although the Bai family is in decline, it still keeps a hand for itself, and strives to maintain the operation of this intelligence network, so now, in addition to some senior old people who support the intelligence network, there are also many new palace maids and eunuchs, and this time the suppression of themselves has not had a big impact.
Kou Shu's gaze shifted to a dossier on the desk not far away, compared to this matter, there was something more important for her to do now.
Since the appointment in the imperial study that day, Song Jinyan has spoken and counted, and he has been closed for only three days, and he has received news from Dali Temple. The investigation has just begun, and the news sent is only a few words, only saying that the marble investigation has begun, except for Kou Yunwu and Mrs. Kou are dead, most of the Kou family are still in custody and will be interrogated one by one. A long list of detainees was attached.
However, in the past few days, Kou Shuzai carefully checked the long list of detainees, but found a strange phenomenon.
"Mandarin duck, are you going out of the palace to visit relatives today?" Kou Shu came back to her senses, looked at the mandarin duck that was concentrating on herself, and spoke.
Unlike Ripple who grew up in the palace, Mandarin Duck was originally the maid of the Bai family, and Bai Tingran specially sent herself into the palace to take care of the intelligence network for Kou Shu, and Mandarin Duck's parents are now serving in the Bai family.
The mandarin duck nodded: "Yes, the slave has already reported to the palace department, and she will leave the palace today." β
Kou Shu nodded, took out a bag from the dressing room and said, "There are twenty taels of silver in it, you can take it back to your parents, so that the second elder can feel relieved." β
The mandarin duck's eyes were hot, and he was just about to kneel, but he was helped up by Kou Shu: "Don't be busy, this time you go out of the palace, there is one more thing I want to tell you to do." β
When the mandarin duck heard this, she hurriedly put away her tears, and said, "What is the matter with the mother, just tell the slave maid." β
Kou Shu nodded, motioned for the mandarin duck to come over, and whispered a few words.
The mandarin duck couldn't help nodding when he heard it, a hint of different color flashed in his eyes from time to time, and after listening, he said: "Don't worry, the mandarin duck will definitely handle this matter properly." β
Kou Shu nodded and smiled, "Go aheadβ"
On the second day, the mandarin duck came back in a hurry, and Kou Shu saw it and said with a smile: "Why did you come back so soon?" β
The mandarin duck didn't introduce much: "Niangniang has something to order, and the slave doesn't dare to delay," after that, he took a step forward and saw that there were no outsiders around, and then said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the news you ordered has been spread, and if those people really see it, they should find a way to spread the news in." β
Sure enough, two days later, someone came to look for Kou Shu.
There is a man and a woman, the man's eyebrows are clear, his eyes are clear, he is a pure person at heart, the woman is exquisite, the water is extremely smart, but the palm is a thin layer of cocoons, and it is a practitioner at a glance.
Seeing Kou Shu, both of them knelt down and said in unison, "Meet the master." β
