Chapter 37: Door-to-door questioning
"You still have the face to come back?!" Before Qiu Yulan stepped into the door, a tea bowl smashed on the threshold, and broken porcelain splashed everywhere!
Princess Yang, who still had a wound on her head, shouted sharply, "You wolf-hearted thing! The house raised you for nothing! I just raise a dog, and after so many years of delicious food and drink, there is absolutely no reason to bite back! She knew that it was impossible to buy Qiu Yulan, so she simply stopped caring about her face and vented it directly!
"I just said that I wanted to see my uncle and aunt, but my aunt was the only one who came out to see me." But Qiu Lulan also came to turn his face today, and said, "And as soon as my aunt met, she smashed the tea bowl and compared me to a dog!" Sure enough, my uncle and aunt are weak-hearted? One hid and didn't dare to come out, and the other picked his nose and eyes to divert the topic?! β
Without waiting for Princess Yang to speak, Qiu Yulan said in a loud voice, "Su He! Get me the stuff out! β
When Su He, Chun Ran and others heard this, they took out those tattered boxes and medicines from their sleeves without saying a word, and threw them in front of the hall!
Princess Yang smelled a burst of medicine and instinctively covered her nose, but immediately thought that Qiu Yulan would not be stupid enough to openly poison - she was shocked and asked, "What are you doing?!" β
"Everyone knows that my maternal grandfather, General Ruan, has been unable to take medicine for the past two years, because the General's Mansion is in disrepair and the treasury is not easy to use at all, so the medicine can only be stored in the Ruan family's pharmacy 'Renqing Hall'." Qiu Yulan sneered, "As a result, Qu Shan's family was hunted down and killed two days ago, but after fortunately being rescued by General Jiang Xiao, 'Renqingtang' was smashed again just now!" Not only was it smashed, but even the few flavors of medicine used by my grandfather were destroyed! β
Her voice was already bitter, "So I'm here to ask my uncle and aunt, even if the concubine made you wronged back then, when did my grandfather offend the two?!" As for doing such a poisonous act to an old man in his last years?!! β
Princess Yang was stunned when she heard this: "You are spewing blood!" What 'Ninkeitang'?! We've never heard of it! β
"The people who went to smash the 'Renqingtang' family have been handed over to Jing Zhaoyin, and the truth will be tried in a few days! If my aunt still wants to be lucky and pretend to be this fool, it is a wrong idea! Qiu Yulan said coldly, "It's already a big mistake for you to disrespect the concubine, and now you don't even let go of the elders of my last ancestor?!" β
She suddenly howled and threw herself on those boxes and medicinal herbs, and let out a sad voice, "I lost my father and concubine when I was a child!" No brother-in-law! Last year, I didn't have a mother again! If you don't like your uncle and aunt, you only have one elder grandfather! Why didn't you let him go!? Why?! If you say that I am disobedient and say that I don't respect you, now you don't give me an explanation, and you don't give my grandfather a way to liveβI risked my life to die at the gate of the Xihe Palace, and I have to speak for my grandfather!! β
Su He, Chun Ran, and Xia Ran followed her to their knees, and shouted in unison: "County Lord, think twice!" β
Haruran sobbed and said, "Don't be like this, county lord! General Jiang Xiao saw the smashing of 'Renqingtang', and His Royal Highness King Yan also said that it would be handed over to Lord Jingzhao Yin Feng, who was recommended by the Duke of Qin, to interrogate the case, and it was necessary to return the innocence of 'Renqingtang' and give justice to our Ruan family! β
Xia Ran cried and took over: "County Lord, let's go into the palace and ask the queen to be the master!" General Jiang Xiao said just now, the old general has been fighting for the country all his life, and he has been insulted like this, if he is not strictly investigated, how can he be worthy of the many soldiers who are still on the border at this moment? ! The current abbot Qin Guogong is also a horse all his life, and the queen mother can best understand the suffering of our old general, and she will definitely not sit idly by and watch the old general be murdered by traitors! β
Both of them are members of the Ruan family, and now they are complaining about their masters, so there is no need to be a head shorter in front of Princess Yang.
And Su He choked up and said: "The servant is a subordinate of the Xihe Palace, so it is said that the master should not be discussed in vain!" But the maid couldn't help it today, and she risked her life to tell the truth: the prince's disrespect for the concubine is now known to everyone in the capital. County Lord, why do you have to come back to ask the prince and Princess Yang for clarification? You treat the prince and Princess Yang as uncles and aunts, but the prince and Princess Yang ......"
First, Princess Yang's face was pale! Cold hands and feet!
"Go! Please, Lord! Princess Yang gritted her teeth and ordered left and right - everyone in the palace knew that it would definitely be good for Qiu Yulan to come to the door! Helplessly, this vicious niece entered the eyes of Queen Jiang at this moment, and it was difficult to move, and she might not be able to quarrel, but she was afraid that she would fall into her handle, so Qiu Mengmin and Mrs. Lu pushed Princess Yang out as a shield.
It's not all about the mother and son joining forces to bully the daughter-in-law, but Princess Yang was injured on the head, and if she didn't speculate, she could use the injury to send off the guests.
But now the development of things does not allow her to send off guests according to the original plan-
Murder of Old General Ruan - Even if Mrs. Lu had already used the Sleeping Incense, it was secret, and because of the special origin and experience of the Sleeping Incense, even if Qiu Yulan's mother and daughter knew about it, they didn't dare to speak up easily!
But Mingli Xihe Wangfu didn't dare to take the charge of murdering General Ruan!
No matter how much he loses power, he is still a general!
General Ruan's fiasco back then really deserves to be punished, but his lifelong exploits for the country cannot be erased!
The most terrible thing is that the Jiang family started with military exploits, and the younger brother of Qin Guogong, Jibei Hou, is still sitting in the north in person, and he has to personally carry a knife to fight with the Northern Barbarians every year!
Even if Qin Guogong didn't have much of a relationship with General Ruan in the past, but General Ruan was murdered, Qin Guogong would definitely not sit idly by - because this represents the dignity of a veteran who has dedicated his life to the battlefield! Da Rui's hundreds of thousands of troops will not agree! Old General Ruan still has the rank of general, and more people have sacrificed their lives for the country and have never been a general - even generals can be murdered casually, what about them?!
In this kind of matter, the soldiers of the whole country must be the same enemy-not to mention the Xihe Palace, even the Empress Dowager Gu now does not dare to take the old general Ruan who only has his last breath left without evidence! This is the least of the love of a monarch and a minister!
So this matter, Xihe Wangfu must be clear!
In this way, what other guests does Princess Yang send? Now that Qiu Yulan takes the initiative to leave, she has to stop her!
"What the hell is going on?!" A moment later, Qiu Mengmin, who was wearing regular clothes and had the same wounds on his face, strode in, his face extremely ugly!
He looked at the master servants holding a bunch of tattered crying and shouting in the hall, exchanged glances with Princess Yang, and said in a deep voice, "Drag!" Did you come back crying for us to see, or did something really happen?! If it's the former, then the princess doesn't have to get in the way here, let's go! After speaking, he was about to brush his sleeves away.
Qiu Yulan saw that he wanted to beat off his arrogance, so he naturally refused to be fooled and said to keep him, but said excitedly: "How about my uncle, I only ask my uncle and aunt to let my grandfather go now, what do my uncle and aunt want me to do, I dare to be disobedient?!" β
Qiu Meng was sensitive to the churning of qi and blood in his chest, he suppressed his mania, went to the upper hall with a blue face, and sat on the seat given by Princess Yang, before he said coldly: "Very good!" If you say so, then I won't leave! Tell me how we murdered your grandfather?! β
"Two days ago, when General Jiang Xiao rescued the Qu Shan family who had served the concubine in the past from the hands of thieves, those thieves said that they were instructed by their uncle and aunt!" Qiu Yulan choked up and said, "Today, 'Renqingtang' was slandered and smashed the signboard......"
"You say it's a thief, can they believe their words?!" Qiu Mengmin said expressionlessly, "It's not that you said to the queen mother that I disrespected the concubine before!" Everyone knows about it, and even the thieves pretend to be me to get away with it! β
Qiu Yulan said angrily: "Uncle is so eloquent! But what about 'Ninkeitang'?! What do you want to say? These, these, and these, but these are all the medicines that my grandfather used to save his life! β
Qiu Mengmin glanced at the sparse medicinal herbs in front of her, and said coldly: "'Renqingtang'? I've never heard of this place! What do we know? How can there be a niece like you, who is suspicious of everything in her own home?! β
"If there was no evidence, I would be so confused?!" Qiu Yulan said loudly, "I never thought of it! I beg you to allow me to serve in the General's Mansion for a few days, because my grandfather is too sick to get up, and I beg you to bring this calamity to my grandfather! I knew this, how dare I mention it?! β
"What about the evidence?!" Qiu Mengmin's face was not obvious, but his heart was slightly awe-inspiring, he knew that Qiu Yulan was not the kind of person who started but couldn't finish - she dared to make such a fuss now, she must have something to rely on!
Sure enough, Qiu Yulan said word for word: "The family who went to smash the 'Renqing Hall' said it personally!" Uncle asked for evidence, I thought I would send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to get a copy! β
Jingzhao Mansion!
How did Qiu Mengmin not know the origin of Feng Rugui and the Jiang family? This Jingzhao is an official who relies on currying favor with the Jiang family! He was able to sit firmly on this Jingzhao because of the support of the Jiang family, especially Empress Jiang! Therefore, in Feng Rugui's eyes, the laws of Darui are all floating clouds, and he only recognizes the meaning of the Jiang family - the Jiang family says that black is black, white is white, and the Jiang family says that the sun is square, that is, people throughout the ages have not had eyes!
So Qiu Mengmin didn't even ask about it, this case was in the hands of Feng Rugui, and he would definitely not be able to get out of the relationship-Qiu Mengmin took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and said: "What is Feng Rugui!" You also deserve to slander my Xihe Palace?! Since you have to blame me and your aunt for the crime of murdering General Ruan, then let's go into the palace and talk!" β
Qiu Yulan has the support of Queen Jiang, and the Xihe Mansion is also protected by Queen Mother Gu! Avoiding her before was nothing more than feeling that as an elder, she couldn't have the upper hand, so it was better not to see her. It's really pinched, Qiu Mengmin doesn't feel that she needs to be afraid of her niece!
"If you enter the palace, you will enter the palace!" Qiu Yulan was also not afraid at all, and said with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Regarding the matter of the Qushan family, I also want to make it clear in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!" Shout out to them! β
She glanced at Qiu Mengmin coldly, "Presumably my uncle still remembers that Qu Shan's mother, Mother Li, was an old man who had served the concubine for decades!" Her old man witnessed the Lu clan breaking the rules and being kicked out by the concubine! Their family has been safe and secure since they were sold, but someone killed them a few days ago - are they really fools in the Manchu Dynasty?! β
