Chapter 90: Home Travel, Temple Fights, Murder of Husbands......
"It's okay!" Seeing that she was awake, Jiang Yashuang simply leaned down, hugged her, and said in a low voice after a while. []
Qiu Yulan noticed that his voice was a little hoarse, and knew that he must have been in a hurry when he was locked out of the palace gate this night, so he hurriedly gave way to the couch, pulled him to sit down on the edge of the couch, leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry!" β
The husband and wife hugged each other for a while, and their emotions finally calmed down, and Qiu Yulan asked, "What witness did Dai Cong say?" β
"I originally arranged for that witness." Jiang Yashuang sighed tiredly, "I wanted to pit the Queen Mother and clean herself up by the way, but such a big thing happened last night, who can take care of such a little twist and turn?" β
That's right, in front of the fact that the emperor was almost poisoned in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and harem concubines, a Hanlin editor was slandered, which really can't be called a problem.
Qiu Yulan sighed: "Even if others can't take care of it, Dafang and the Dou family will definitely be worried about it-it's good to make it clear, otherwise even if we are not afraid of them, it will be difficult for my grandfather to do it." β
Jiang Yashuang tilted her head and kissed her face and said, "Yes." β
After a while, Qiu Yulan asked in a low voice, "Is there no one outside this meeting?" β
"Huh?" Jiang Yashuang was stunned.
"I have something very important to tell you! It must not be heard by anyone, not even Su He! Seeing that his wife was going to hide it from Su He, Jiang Yashuang knew that the matter must be very important, so she hurriedly went outside the house to send people away, and ordered Su He and others to stay far away, and no one was allowed to approach the inner room!
When a few big girls heard this, they were not nervous, but they hid their mouths and snickered, obviously thinking too much.
Jiang Yashuang didn't bother to care about how they speculated about their order, and after returning to the house, she listened carefully for a while, and confirmed that there was no one around, and then sat back on the side of the couch: "You can say it!" β
"Before the banquet started, I was laughing with Cousin Xin at a railing outside the hall, and I heard the sound of wind and snow someone throwing things under the nearest flower tree to us, and when I looked back, I found that someone left in a hurry behind the corner of the corridor in front of the hall, so I said a word to Cousin Xin, but a small chamberlain came to urge us to enter the hall and prepare to meet ......" Qiu Yulan whispered, Jiang Yashuang's face gradually became solemn: "You mean it happened at the banquet?" β
"I don't know!" Qiu Yulan sighed distressedly, "The middle queen mother and the fourth aunt asked me when Cousin Xin and I came out of the palace and which railing we relied on, and called the palace people to check, and I suddenly thought of such a thing - I was really frightened at that time!" I thought I had fallen into a trap, but the palace people sent by the Queen Mother went to see it, and they didn't say that they found anything, but I definitely heard that sound right! β
Jiang Yashuang frowned and thought for a while, and asked in detail about the sound she heard at the time, the location of the thing falling, and the level of the corner of her clothes...... At the end, he groaned: "This is indeed an important clue, but now I'm afraid that the fourth aunt is still with the queen mother to check the palace people, and then report the news to the evening and let the fourth aunt arrange for people to check it!" β
"But beware! I was thinking if this had something to do with His Majesty's poisoning, and it was the Queen Mother who did it, why didn't she find something last night? Is it because Cousin Xin and I brought a large group of subordinates last night, and when the time comes, we will say that we haven't thrown anything, and we can't be forcibly convicted over there. But if the fourth aunt's people go to quietly find something and get caught, there is no way to say clearly! Qiu Yulan heard from his tone that the emperor's poisoning was not caused by the queen's party, and said fearfully, "Fortunately, Your Majesty saved it this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable - although my brother has not yet arrived in Shazhou City, he has also stepped into the realm of Shazhou!" β
If the emperor dies on this eye bone, there is a chance that the situation will be in a hurry. Jiuhui killed Qiu Jinglan first to ensure the stability of the morale of the Zhenxi Army! After all, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor dies, which means that the prince has to be decided in the shortest possible time. If it is the Seventh Prince who decides, then Shi Han is desperate anyway, what can't he do?!
In other words, as soon as the emperor dies, Shi Han will definitely be desperate and even personally lead a part of the Zhenxi army to kill Qiu Jinglan! At that time, unless Qiu Jinglan can withdraw from Shazhou in time and rush back to Beijing, he will definitely die!
Jiang Yashuang patted his wife's shoulder: "Although Your Majesty's imperial body is not good, it should be fine." Rest assured! I sent someone out of the city last night to inform my brother of this news! This morning, after knowing the reason, I chased another handwritten letter...... Brother has his own measure! β
"It's just that last night everyone in the hall didn't carry poison, and all the utensils in the hall, including the pillars and floor tiles, were inspected inch by inch by the imperial doctor and the Imperial Forest Army in full view...... I really don't know how Your Majesty got poisoned? Qiu Yulan wrapped his fingers around his long hair and said suspiciously, "By the way, what kind of poison is in Your Majesty?" I was thinking about what the man had thrown under the flowering tree, but I didn't pay attention. β
"It's crane top red." Jiang Yashuang groaned, "It's really strange that there is no poison found everywhere......"
As the most well-known poison in ancient times, it has always been used to give death to heroes, eliminate dissidents, fight in the backyard, seek money and kill people, murder of husbands, vendettas in the rivers and lakes, and martial arts suspicions...... A must-have. However, because it is used a lot, it is not difficult to check, and a silver needle can find traces of it.
But when the second queen ordered a thorough investigation of the entire hall and the people in the hall, countless silver needles and grates grate the people and things in the entire hall, and so many pairs of eyes didn't find any of them blackβoh, except for the glass of wine that the emperor drank!
"In short, no matter who did it, since you dare to do such a thing, there must be a plan!" Jiang Yashuang thought for a while, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly, "If Empress Dowager Gu does such a rebellious thing, our family will not be completely helpless!" Looking at his wife, "But just in case of accidents, you don't want to go out these days...... Xihe Palace, Ruan Family, and Li Family, all send their subordinates to leave, forget it! It's a very moment, and it's okay to be rude. β
Autumn Trail Lan responded.
However, the Xihe Palace, the Ruan family, and the Li family can either neglect or explain the situation, and do not go over in person, but the dealer is different - the rule at this time is that the uncle is big, and the year of the Zhuang family has to go to worship the three brothers of Jiang Yadan every year. Especially Qiu Yulan only passed the door at the beginning of this year, which is the first New Year in her husband's house, which is of great significance.
Even if something big happens in the palace, since it hasn't reached the worst, this relative still has to go!
Speaking of which, among the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, the only one who can really stay at home this year is Xiao Tao, and Mrs. Tao blocked all her relatives for her, and only told her to concentrate on the baby.
Therefore, on the third day of the first lunar month, Qiu Yulan and Jiangyashuang, who had barely rested for one night, got up early to dress up, went to the upper room to kowtow to Qin Guogong and Mrs. Tao, and explained where to go, so they rushed to Zhuangfu with Jiangya Dan and Jiangya Zhu and his wife.
Jiang and Zhuang are in the same Beijing, and they usually come and go, and this day is not very solemn, but it is Man's brother Zhuang Rong who led his eldest son Zhuang Nanfeng to greet him outside the gate. Entering the second gate, Zhuang Man and her sister-in-law Feng caught Sheng Shushui and Qiu Xianglan. So they arrived in the hall together, and after the salute, Zhuang Mo and his wife shouted with a smile, and asked people to bring rich red envelopes and distribute them one by one.
Everyone greeted each other, Zhuang Mo's wife Wen gave her daughter-in-law Feng a look, Feng understood, and proposed to take the two cousins and daughters-in-law to sit in their yard: "A few pots of plum blossoms I bought two days ago are now blooming, do you want to take a look?" β
This is obviously to make the ladies flash-Sheng Shushui and Qiu Yulan both know it in their hearts, and they go out on this step with interest.
Wen took Zhuang Man to the kitchen to check the preparations for the luncheon under the pretext of Zhuang Man, and completely let Mingtang speak to his uncles and nephews.
As soon as their mother and daughter left, Zhuang Mo was in no mood to chat, and immediately asked Jiang Yashuang: "After Dai Cong took you out of the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve?" β
"I've explained it clearly to my eldest brother." Jiang Yashuang smiled, "The witness he found was stubborn, and his nephew couldn't justify himself when he asked, and he insisted that it was his grandson who instructed him to hand over the evidence of the Dou family's crimes to Qiu Dian - I don't want to think that although my nephew is not sensitive, there are still a few people around him, and he can make the money buy others to do things, as for being stupid enough to personally hand over the evidence to him a strange beggar by the roadside?" Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and spend the reward, and throw those incriminating evidence into the ditch again! β
The person he arranged, of course, would leave a clear flaw for him to clear himself.
Dai Cong later realized that he had been trapped, but the "beggar witness" was originally a dead soldier arranged by Jiang Yashuang, as Dai Cong said, he couldn't survive that night. On the first day of the first lunar month, the man was decisively angry, and there was no proof of death, Dai Cong had nowhere to go if he wanted to shout injustice, but he also had a good life, just in time for the emperor to be poisoned, who still had the heart to investigate his responsibility for slandering Hanlin? Even if it will be turned over in the future, it is now a temporary escape.
Zhuang Mo was relieved when he heard that he had clearly explained that he had not murdered his eldest uncle's in-laws, and admonished: "The Dou family has relied on your uncle's unusual position in front of your grandfather over the years, and his appearance has become more and more ugly!" It's just that no matter how ugly it is, it's your elder's Yue family after all, no matter how unhappy you are, at most you see others silent, and go by yourself, but you can't do it! Even if they are destroyed, they will also have a reputation for disrespecting their elders! It's not worth it! β
Jiang Yadan and the three of them all nodded yes, but none of them really took this to heart - Jiang Yadan and Jiang Ya Zhu didn't know what reputation was for a long time, and Jiang Yashuang thought: "Giving up the interests that have been planned for a long time for the sake of fame is not worth it!" β
But for the New Year, the three brothers didn't want to ruin Zhuang Mo's interest, so what the uncle said should be, he was very well-behaved - Zhuang Mo saw this situation and knew that the three nephews were all mouthful, and they didn't listen to their words at all!
It's just something that people's grandfather Qin Guogong can't do, Zhuang Mo didn't expect to say anything to coax them into obedience to his words, and secretly sighed and persuaded him, bringing up the hottest topic today: "But I don't know if the person who murdered the holy car has any clues?" β
It is now the period of sealing the government, although it is said that the emperor's poisoning has led to the urgent posting of criminal investigation and military departments. But Zhuang Mo, an official of the education department, still continued to celebrate the New Year, and the news at home was relatively closed when the errands were closed, and the Zhuang family had no connections in the palace, so they could only inquire about the latest news through their nephews.
However, what disappointed him was that the grandchildren of the Jiang family also failed to bring any weighty inside information: "It is said that the palace is still investigating, and many palace people have been killed in the past two days!" But a lot of messy dirt has been found, but there is no clue in serious matters! β
In fact, in the past two days, a lot of filth has been forced out under high pressure, and any one thing that has been put aside before is enough to cause heated discussions among the government and the opposition, but in the face of the terrifying incident that the emperor almost hung up, they all became floating clouds!
Zhuang Mo listened to his nephews and said a few things that had been found out, frowned and thought for a while, before he said worriedly: "So many such private things have been investigated, but the murder of the holy driver has not progressed yet!" I'm worried that if I can't find out, or if it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will bring up these filths again, and in the name of the Queen Mother's lack of governance of the palace, she will attack the Queen Mother! β
β¦β¦ When Empress Jiang married the emperor, the Empress Dowager Gu and the Jiang family were still in the honeymoon period, and the Empress Dowager herself had to manage the government and politics, so she was very generous after the tea was served on the first day of the queen's entry into the palace, and the palace power was completely handed over to her!
After that, Empress Jiang was not satisfied with the power of the six palaces, and also began to meddle in the government affairs, but the palace power was not released, and it was handed over to the confidant Lin female official - so, there was a mess in the palace, and the queen had an unshirkable leadership responsibility for any of them!
Regardless of hatred or position, the Queen Mother Party has no reason to let go of this opportunity to force the queen to step down!
