Chapter 210: Murder
Seeing that Zhou Shijiu didn't speak, the person in charge said again: "I only said it when you found out about me, in fact, many people in the Kangjun Mansion know about it." "In a few days, this matter will be spread all over the capital. When the eldest lady gave the order, there was smugness in her eyes, the fire in the Kangjun Palace's mansion was already lit, and it could burn more vigorously by filling in some firewood. The prince of the county returned to Beijing halfway, and probably heard the rumors, which man can stand such a thing. As long as the housewife has disgraceful rumors, she can only be used as a decoration at home if she is not divorced, and she has no face to participate in the banquet, not to mention, even the people in the family can't control it, and the mother's family is also ashamed to ignore it. Even if the crime cannot be determined, they will be interrogated by their elders......
Feng Ziying looked and waited outside.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Steward Shen is commonly used by Zhou Yuanjing and Mrs. Zhou, who has been working in the old mansion for many years, and knows more or less about the temperament of King Kangjun. King Kangjun can call him here, and if he does not tell the truth, he will not return unharmed.
Lin Yi didn't say it, but she would definitely feel aggrieved in her heart. Zhou Shijiu stood up and said with a smile: "This is the original words that Zhen asked you to go out and diverge?" ”
Steward Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a weight in his abdomen, and the whole person fell out, his face fell to the ground, and his nose was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Zhou Shijiu put away the usual smile on his face, his eyes were cold, "I don't care about you in the past." As he spoke, he pinched his whip and turned to go out.
Although Steward Shen felt pain in his abdomen, his heart finally fell, as long as his life could be saved in such a situation...... The thought just crossed my head. Feng Ziying at the door walked in.
Steward Shen hurriedly kowtowed, "Master Feng." Please speak in front of the prince of the county for the little one. ”
Feng Ziying sneered, "I don't want to think about what you want to do, slander the princess of the county, and you still want to live?" ”
Steward Shen's eyes widened. The prince of the county clearly said that he didn't care about the past affairs. In the past, Steward Shen repeated this sentence, and finally understood what King Kangjun meant, he didn't care about the past things, but this time he couldn't spare him.
In a few moments, two or three family members came in.
Steward Shen finally figured it out, but he felt a chill in his neck. It was as cold as the snowflakes of the cold winter moon, and then a scorching heat splashed out.
The family members next to him stuffed a few bills into Steward Shen's arms. Then he dragged his bloody gourd-like body up and threw it in the corner.
Feng Ziying followed behind Zhou Shijiu, and the two of them prepared to go to Tianjin Mansion as soon as the curfew was opened.
There are no people on the street, Zhou Yuanche in order not to let people know that he is coming back to Beijing, and he is not going to go to another courtyard or stay, but he has to avoid so many people going back to the house, you must know that Zhou Yuanche always has a smile on his appearance, but his temperament is cold enough to make the head card on the painting boat cry loudly, he once concluded that those weak women will eventually cry back as long as they want to get close to Zhou Yuanche.
Feng Ziying endured it in the wind for a while and felt cold. Tell your family to fetch wine. Drinking some wine to drive away the chill on his body, Feng Ziying raised his head and looked at the sky, "The prince of the county can sleep in the mansion for a while." "Obviously I came back for the princess of the county. But it came and went in a hurry.
The sky was faint, Zhou Shijiu turned over and got on the horse, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he can only calculate, as Lin Yi said, as long as he can achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes. Calculating the decline of the enemy is so, and calculating that a person approaching him is the same, although he entered the mansion last night was arranged, but if he stayed a little longer, he might be discovered, although he calculated to let Lin Yi trust him more, but also to ensure Lin Yi's safety.
……
When Lin Yi woke up, it was not yet dawn, and she felt that there was no one around her. She thought about getting up early, but she didn't expect Zhou Shijiu to leave so early.
The futon was cold on one side, and Zhou Shijiu had been gone for a while. If it weren't for the clarity of last night's events, she would still be dreaming.
Linyi rattled the bell to let Orange Red in.
Orange and red neatly did not bring anyone else.
"When did the prince leave?"
Orange Hong said in a low voice: "The princess of the county has only fallen asleep for a while, and the princess of the county has left the mansion." ”
It wasn't easy to wake up when she first fell asleep, so no wonder she didn't hear the sound. couldn't help but think of Zhou Shijiu's words of persuasion, Lin Yi felt warm in her heart, if it weren't for Zhou Langhuan's matter, Zhou Jiujiu would not have ventured back to Kangjun Palace, otherwise she wouldn't have waited for her to fall asleep and left in a hurry.
Lin Yi asked while putting on her clothes, "Who knows when the prince of the county returns to his house?" ”
Orange Hong said: "There are only the mother-in-law on the door of our courtyard, as well as the steward of the outer courtyard, Tong Ning, Chen Han and a few slaves." "It's all trustworthy.
Lin Yi bowed her jaw, and the orange red let the little maid bring water into the house to serve.
The breakfast kitchen made snacks and sent them to Mrs. Zhou in a lotus gold lacquer box, and Lin Yi accompanied Mrs. Zhou back to her room after dinner.
After a while, the steward of the house replied, "Go to those people according to what Gong Er said, the house is still there, but I refuse to admit that I sold ginseng to Gong Er." ”
As expected, Lin Yi said, "Do you see the clues?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head, "The family is full of old people, women and children, and no one can go to the mountains to collect herbs." ”
Digging ginseng has to run in the deep mountains, and some herbs still grow on the edge of the cliff, which can only be picked by strong strength, Lin Yi said: "Have you gone around to ask?" ”
The housekeeper said: "I went, and they all said that there was indeed no strong labor." ”
It's all the same caliber, either it's really like this, or everyone is lying, Lin Yi thought slowly. At this time, it is impossible for Gong Er to lie, only those people may have problems.
The steward asked tentatively, "Otherwise, the little one will inquire again, and people will also keep an eye on it." ”
Lin Yi shook her head, "You go down first, and I'll pass you on if there's something." ”
The steward retreated.
Lin Yi remembered what Zhou Shijiu said last night about the human tax, as long as she thought about going to Shuntian Mansion to check Ding's forehead, she could know if those people didn't have strong labor. If there is no record of strong laborers in the household register, they will not collect Ding tax, and if they want to evade taxes, those strong laborers must be hidden and not let outsiders know, so they can only sell the herbs to Gong Er, instead of taking them to the pharmacy themselves.
You can follow this vine to check.
Lin Yi was thinking about it, and Mother Gong walked into the house with a smile, "Princess Jun, Mr. In-law is here." ”
The old lady took the "Law Shu" of the marriage Fengzhu into Beijing, Mr. Yuqiu was afraid of any mistakes, and has been by the side of the old lady, and now "Law Shu" has all been handed over to the court, and the old lady is not in good health and settled in Beijing, and Mr. Yuqiu also lived with him.
Lin Yi got up to greet Yu Qiu, Yu Qiu looked dusty, and when she saw Lin Yi's eyebrows lit up, she suddenly smiled, "I wanted to come over tomorrow, but I couldn't sit still in the house, so I just came to see you." ”
Mr. Yuqiu was in a hurry to come over after hearing from Fengzhu about the recent events of the Marquis of Guangping Mansion and the Kangjun Palace.
Lin Yi pulled Mr. Yuqiu to sit down, "How is it?" Is there a embarrassment for the old lady? ”
Mr. Yuqiu shook his head, "No, the emperor probably saw that his father was old, but he just summoned him to ask questions." ”
The insistence of the in-laws for many years came to naught in this summons. Although the old lady must have been preserved, the old lady must have felt ashamed of the ancestors, "The old lady is okay?" ”
Mr. Yuqiu shook his head, his eyes gloomy, "Just wait for the situation to get better before hiring a car back to Funing." ”
Lin Yi was stunned, it seemed more serious than she thought, "What medicine do you need, just tell me, I have to put it together." ”
Marriage Yuqiu said: "The hospital has come to see it...... My father was already seriously ill, and he had traveled a long distance to move at all, and it was not effective in a day or two. ”
In the case of the good pulse of the in-law, Mr. Yuqiu said that others have no way. Falling leaves return to the roots, it is difficult to get married, and the old lady can't even go home. Lin Yi felt sour when she thought of this.
Mr. Yuqiu has changed the topic, "I heard about the matter of Guangping Hou, is it related to my family?" ”
Lin Yi shook her head and relieved Mr. Qiu, "The political situation is changing rapidly, it's not something we can see through, now that the prince of the county is going to Tianjin Mansion, the emperor at least doesn't believe in the family's words, we always have a chance," Lin Yi said with a smile, "There is something I want to discuss with someone, since Mr. is here, I don't have to bother others." ”
Marriage Yuqiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's hear it, many people have multiple ideas." ”
Lin Yi told Gong Er about it, but she didn't mention how Zhou Langhuan was, and briefly said her thoughts, "I want to buy land to plant some herbs." In this way, it is easier to investigate Gong Er's collection of medicine, and she can also show her strengths.
Mr. Yuqiu listened to the meaning of Lin Yi's words, and thought of Zhou Langhuan, the second grandmother of Qi, and frowned, but saw that Lin Yi didn't mean to mention it, so he avoided mentioning it, "I heard that now the nobles in Jingli are going to Fengtai Town to buy land to plant flowers and beekeeping, but you are not the same to plant medicine," he said and put away his smile, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to ask the queen mother for a pulse, you have to think about it, if there is anything you want me to bring in." ”
Mr. In-law is thinking about her, so he is in a hurry to enter the palace. Now there are two ways in front of Lin Yi, aiming at the Queen Mother and the Fifth Prince to relieve the siege of the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Guangping, or find another way. I'm afraid that before she finishes arranging, rumors have already spread outside.
Mr. Yuqiu said: "Otherwise, I will discuss it with my brother, and while I haven't gone to sea yet, I will also think of a compromise." ”
The in-laws finally got out, and it was not good to fall into it again, "Sir, don't worry, I think it won't take three days for the prince of the county to have news back, and now we are connected to make the emperor suspicious." ”
Mr. Yuqiu picked up the tea and thought about it slightly, "It's better for me to try it out first when I enter the palace." ”
Lin Yi was talking to Mr. Yuqiu here, and Gong's mother was stunned when she heard the news.
