Chapter 425: False hairpins

It's just that Emperor Duanhua's intention to immediately summon King Liang and Xu Xioan to come and question was stopped by Empress Wei: "Although I suspect these two, even if my speculation is correct, at least one of these two people is innocent!" This kind of thing is supposed to be known to as few people as possible, how can it be understood? ”

Emperor Duanhua was actually very angry to say this, and after calming down, he said, "Is there a way to do it?" ”

"Why doesn't Your Majesty discuss a thing or two with the Imperial Grandmother?" Empress Wei muttered, "Grandmother Huang, she is an old man who is well-informed, so she can't tell us a perfect strategy?" ”

- This kind of difficult person, should it be handed over to the elders to do a good job?

After all, Emperor Duanhua was most suspicious of Jian Xubai at that time, and Jian Xubai was raised by the Queen Mother, even if she was the emperor, she was also the grandson of the Queen Mother, and if she wanted to deal with Jian Xubai, how could she not say hello to the Queen Mother?

This is also fortunate that the Empress Dowager herself saw the flaw halfway, and Jian Xubai proved her innocence again - if Jian Xubai was an adulterer, and the emperor disposed of him in private, even if the Empress Dowager knew what her grandson did afterwards, but the emperor did not beat a child who raised him and killed him, what would the Empress Dowager think?

But even if Emperor Duanhua trusts Empress Wei very much now, if the Empress says these words, the husband and wife will definitely have a part.

So the queen only said, "Whether it is Ah Xu, the third brother or Cousin Xu, they are all the same generation as us." Among these peers, some things are inevitably inconvenient to say and do. But the imperial grandmother is our ancestor, what is there to say, her old man ordered it, even if the younger brothers are confused, or feel wronged, can they still resent the elders? Of course, the emperor's grandmother is willing to help us with this! ”

Of course, the Empress Dowager was willing to help with this, after all, she also wanted to know who had humiliated her son Emperor Xianjia!

What's more, from the bamboo hosta that Emperor Duanhua obtained, it can be seen that this real adulterer made Jian Xubai a scapegoat early on - the empress dowager, for the sake of her favorite grandson, also hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible, so as to eliminate this hidden danger for Jian Xubai.

It's just that the Empress Dowager didn't approve of directly calling her two grandchildren to come and confess her relatives with blood: "It's really hurtful to do this without evidence!" Before the emperor suspected Ah Xu, there was still an imitation hairpin! Now these two children are nothing more than the queen's speculation of empty white teeth! If you ask them to come and test it, how will the queen meet with them in the future? A good family is going to have a share! ”

Emperor Duanhua frowned and said, "What does the imperial grandmother mean?" ”

"At least we need to get some decent credentials, right?" The Empress Dowager said earnestly, "When the time comes, I summoned them to the palace and showed them the credentials, but this is not a deliberate suspicion of them, but a trust in them!" At that time, we don't need to talk about it, if they themselves have a clear conscience, they will try their best to prove their innocence! In this way, it is the best way to preserve your brotherhood! ”

- Speaking of which, although Emperor Duanhua has a tendency to develop to the unfathomable, but it is still easy to be a little rash when encountering things, when he questioned Jian Xubai alone, he didn't even mention the hairpin stolen from the concubine's bedroom, or the day after the blood recognition was completed, the emperor thought about it, called Jian Xubai to the palace, took out the hairpin and asked, only to know that the hairpin was fake.

Jian Xubai pointed out at least five or six flaws very easily, and the craftsmen summoned later also proved this: because Jian Xubai's hairpin is a real antiquity, made by Ye Zhufu, a famous craftsman in the former Wei Dynasty, and has been collected in Jinxiu Hall for hundreds of years. But the one in Emperor Duanhua's hand just looks like it, and the so-called antique is completely fake.

The craftsman who didn't know it told the truth: "This method of forging antiquities has been circulating in the previous dynasties, and after being wrapped in a special medicine, it only needs to be buried in the ground for a few months, and it seems to have experienced many vicissitudes of life." Of course, you can't hide it from an expert, even if it's a layman, as long as you are willing to cut off a small section, and compare it with the real ancient jade, you can see the problem. ”

After that, the craftsman cut off the tail end of the hairpin on the spot, and also cut a centuries-old ancient hosta in the inner library, and presented it to the Duanhua Emperor.

The craftsman's words made Emperor Duanhua swallow several mouthfuls of blood silently: Speaking of which, the emperor was born in this world's top rich township, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he also has the ability to distinguish jade, but his main business is to govern the world, so how could Emperor Xianjia let people teach him this kind of knowledge?

That is, to know the good and the bad.

And the emperor didn't pay attention to Jian Xubai's original hosta, but he saw that the hairpin was similar to the description in the guard's record, so he believed it to be true.

He showed this hairpin to Jian Xubai earlier, why did he need to let this cousin drip blood to recognize his relatives? With a craftsman proving that what Jian Xubai said was true, how could Emperor Duanhua not think that someone was deliberately slandering Jian Xubai?

Now hearing the mention in the Empress Dowager's words, Emperor Duanhua held back his depression and said, "What the imperial grandmother said is, then do it according to your wishes!" ”

When their ancestors and grandsons were worried about King Qing's bloodline, in the Yanguo Mansion, Jian Xubai was also talking secretly with Yuan Xuepei.

Since Jian Xubai had completely proved that he had nothing to do with King Qing, he didn't continue to worry about the follow-up of this matter at the momentβ€”this kind of thing was not his turn.

He told Yuan Xuepei what happened to Jian Yiyou's family: "Yesterday, my father sent someone to send a letter, saying that Zheng Keji, the assassin of Liaozhou, had found out the murderer of Jian Yiyou, but although there were no flaws in the whole process, I always felt that he was just a scapegoat." ”

Yuan Xuepei asked: "But I don't know who this murderer is?" ”

"It is said that it is a county town called Huangxian near Liaozhou, named Zhu Qigui, who was in the army in his early years because he led the sheep by hand, and learned the method of punishment with others in the middle. Later, the emperor's uncle ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and only then did he return to his hometown. Jian Xubai took out the letter written by Jian Limiao from the desk and handed it over, "This person has always had some problems with his conduct, two years ago, he had a record of plundering the good family in the countryside and selling it to Goolan Land, and later because the parents of the good family were greedy for money, they received benefits privately and did not sue the government. This time, the reason why he killed Jian Yiyu was that although Jian Yiyou was in filial piety, he behaved and talked well, and wanted to tie him up and blackmail money! ”

"I didn't think that Jian Yiyu would reveal his identity after being kidnapped, he knew that he had provoked the son of the eldest princess, and in a panic, he didn't dare to ask for money from the Jian family anymore, let alone let him go, so he had murderous intentions!"

As for why he tortured Jian Yi before he died, Jian sighed in vain, "According to Zhu Qigui's own confession, this is because he himself was born poor and his situation is embarrassing, so he is particularly jealous of the children of rich and noble families!" Since he didn't plan to let Jian Yiyou go, he simply vented all kinds of dissatisfaction in his life on him! ”

As he spoke, Yuan Xuepei also roughly swept the letter, put down the letter at this moment, and muttered: "This murderer is indeed too child's play, Jian Yiyu is considered a noble person in the imperial capital, how can no one follow him when he goes in and out?" Even if there is no one on the surface, there will be someone to protect it secretly. How can an old pimp be tied up? What's more, this old pimpy is old, and he is no longer in his prime, no matter how much Jian Yiyu can't write a martial arts, not to mention teaching the old pimpy a lesson, he won't even have the ability to escape, right? ”

Even if they are noble children like them, even if they learn badly when they grow up, there is a limit to how bad their upbringing is. Literature and martial arts are all to be learned, and the level of the people who teach them will not be too bad. So the foundation is placed there, just in the prime of life, Jian Yiyu may not be able to deal with the master, but an ordinary ruffian, in the case of facing each other, he will definitely not have a problem playing three or four alone!

"Look at the letter again." Jian Xubai pulled out the seal again and pushed it over, "On the night that Jian Yi's house in Liaozhou City was destroyed, the guards in the courtyard had no power to fight back!" The medicine used by the group of ruffians, my father personally asked for a copy for Aunt Yun to see, Aunt Yun said that it was used to deal with ordinary people so-so, and it was definitely not enough to deal with a few guards in the house! The most important thing is that the burly man wearing the hat that the ruffians saw has not been heard from until now! ”

"I don't think this thing is going to your third room." Yuan Xuepei read the letter again, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "I don't know the details of Third Uncle Jian, but just with the good hand you brought back from Wuhuan, there is no problem at all to quietly solve Jian Yiyu in private - why make such a big fuss?" Now not only is everyone sympathetic to the plight of Jian Yiyu's family, but His Majesty has sent two of them alone! What's in it for your three rooms? Even if you want to plant a false accusation, this is too obvious! ”

- Even if the third room wants to make the second room completely extinct, there is no need to be shocked to play anything to destroy the door.

As Jian Limiao had planned before, it would be good to kill Jian Yiyu.

Shen Qimo's mother and son are left, one is a woman and the other is swaddling, how can you handle it? Are there still fewer children who die in infancy these years? After the death of the husband and the only son. The concubine is even more deserved! Why do you want to get into trouble all over the city?

When Yuan Xuepei said this, he said as if he was joking, "Say something unpleasant: it's a simple horse, I mean the death of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, it's more like the handiwork of your three rooms!" ”

"You think that's what you think?" Jian Xubai also said casually as if he didn't care, "This matter was investigated by the elders of the clan together, but Jian Yiyu was still suspicious of our three rooms - if it weren't for this, he might not be angry and have to go to Liaozhou City to live!" ”

"It's also a matter of life." Yuan Xuepei nodded and said, "When we fell into the hands of Wuhuan earlier, didn't we think it was over?" As a result, it was Wuhuan who went around and around, but it was Wuhuan who was destroyed, and we are still good now! When he said this, the hand on his lap subconsciously tightened, but then let go as if nothing happened, "By the way, Concubine Nuan, who has been in a lot of uproar in the palace for the past two days, is almost alive, what's going on?" Can you tell me about it? ”

"Listening to the palace people in front of the emperor's grandmother, it seems that Concubine Fu is jealous of Concubine Nuan for having a son, and she has a lifelong dependence!" Jian Xubai knocked on a few cases casually, thoughtfully, "I'm more concerned, the two Qin sent to Liaozhou, I don't know what the results will be?" ”

Although Zheng Keji, the assassin of Liaozhou, has already found out a result, since the imperial court has already sent Qin Cha, of course, the conclusion of Qin Cha shall prevail.

What Zheng Keji found out can only be used as a reference for Qin Cha - not to mention that Zhu Qigui, the murderer, whether Zheng Keji or Jian Limiao, is not very convinced.
