Chapter 419: Buying the Little Eunuch's Confession
Shen Xincai was "promoted" into the leopard camp by Mo Guhan, and under the unanimous "care" of everyone, life was worse than death.
After Mo Gu Han dispersed, he told the Queen Mother of his good intentions and made the most extravagant promise. Therefore, in the face of Shen Shilang's begging, the Queen Mother not only relented, but also gave a pure warning.
No pain, no gain. If you don't let your heart go through some hardships, how can you take on the big responsibility? How did the emperor block the mouths of the ministers and make people convincing? It's just a formality.
Partial life, Shen Xincai is not the material for hardship. After he entered the leopard camp, he called the heavens and the earth to be unspirited, and experienced the most terrible torture, like the eighteen kinds of torture in the dungeon of the criminal department.
There is no place in the body that does not hurt, but the whole body is intact, not a single skin is broken, and not even a bruise is visible.
Shen Xincai knew that he had received special "preferential treatment" and suffered a dumb loss. In order to escape from the leopard camp, he was desperate, so he jumped from a height and broke his left arm.
Shen Xincai, who finally returned to the Shilang Mansion as he wished, howled and cried, which provoked Concubine Ling to tears, distressed and embarrassed, and the Queen Mother complained to Mo Guhan.
Concubine Ling relied on the protection of the Queen Mother and escaped for the time being, and because of the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, she became more and more arrogant, and no one in the palace dared to provoke her, worried that a sentence would not be appropriate, and she would get into trouble again, so she retreated.
Of course, this does not mean that Yuehua will give up.
Now is different from the past, she Chu Yuehua used to tolerate Concubine Ling to do whatever she wanted, and even plotted against herself several times. But now, I have a pair of lovely children, they are their own responsibility, and no one is allowed to play any insidious ideas behind their backs.
If this matter is over, it will only make the other party more rampant and unscrupulous.
If you can't investigate openly, then secretly search for clues and find evidence that can knock down Concubine Ling in one fell swoop, so that she will never have a chance to turn over.
Only by killing one and setting an example will all the people in the Forbidden City be in awe of themselves and will not think that they are weak and can be bullied.
Originally, Yuehua was indeed suspicious of the origin of the assassin, and she swayed between her and Wynne.
But Concubine Ling's reaction was too intense. She is also a woman from the Shen family, a big family, well-educated, not a shrew in the market, but she self-destructed her image in front of Mo Guhan, and used this method of seeking death and life, which can better show that she is a thief with a weak heart, afraid that Mo Guhan will track down, and she is already poor in donkey skills, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.
Her suspicions were even more aggravated.
She thought that half of the reason why the assassin wanted to kill herself was because of her own existence, which monopolized all of Mo Guhan's favors, so the other party couldn't tolerate herself.
But if Concubine Ling is really the real murderer behind the scenes, everything is as she expected, there is still a possibility, the other party wants to kill people.
The timing is too coincidental.
He and Shen Xincai met at the back door of the Han family, asked themselves, and did not be aggressive towards Shen Xincai, but raised his hand lightly, and the matter passed lightly. Why was he so frightened that he immediately brought people into the palace and plotted to kill him?
and Concubine Ling's weak-hearted reaction in the Ruian Palace that day.
Could it be because of Shi Yunhai's matter?
But Shi Yunhai is dead, and this matter is over, even if Shi Yunhai really did something rebellious and out of line in the palace, and had an affair with Hancui, he is already a hundred dead, and everything will disappear when he dies.
However, why did the Shen family drive Shi Yunhai's widow out of Beijing and not allow her to live in the capital? Could it be that Shi Yunhai's wife is still hiding something from herself?
Also, at the gate of the Han Mansion that day, I happened to meet the buying eunuch in the palace at the beginning, could it be because of this incident that Shen Xin wanted to kill people and kill his mouth, and didn't want to let himself investigate deeply? If it is really because of this, it means that the Shen family knew about the fact that the crane top red was hidden in the embroidery thread.
But Ya Jieyu confessed to Xuanji in front of her, and it was clear that Zhou Yuan deliberately revealed it to Concubine Ling Guifei to know, what is the truth?
There are so many things piled up in one place, it's like a mess, and you can't figure it out. And I don't know where to start.
For the time being, there was no news of the purchase of the eunuch, so Yuehua shifted her attention to Shi Yunhai's wife, Shi Shi, and she wanted to start with her for the time being, to see what made the Shen family so jealous.
Whoever Yuehua wants to see, it is naturally easy, just a word of command. But she was worried that if she passed on the edict to the Shi clan too directly, the Shen family would be wary of it in an instant, and then do something unfavorable to her. Therefore, he secretly sent a message to Ling Xi, asking her to find the Shi clan if she had the opportunity, chatting with her, and secretly investigating and investigating.
The person who brought the message came back and brought good news to Yuehua, the buying eunuch had been found, and Chu Mubai had brought it into the palace.
Because Mo Guhan was in confinement, he didn't want her to worry too much, so he wanted to hide it from her and interrogate her personally. When she got the news, she naturally couldn't sit still, so Mo Guhan interrogated the buying eunuch to the Qingqiu Palace.
The little eunuch was dressed in rags, and it was obvious that he was quite embarrassed after leaving the palace, otherwise, he would not have appeared in the crowd of soup kitcheners.
He was brought in by Chu Mubai like a little chicken and slammed into the ground.
The little eunuch trembled like chaff, trembling and prostrating, mourning and begging.
Yuehua and Mo Guhan sat on the couch and looked at him condescendingly and coldly.
"What's the name?"
"The villain Qian Jin, it turns out that everyone in the palace calls me Little Gold."
"Tell me, you should know what we brought you into the palace for." Mo Guhan said coldly.
The little eunuch's body shook, lowered his head, and stumbled: "I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" Mo Guhan snorted coldly: "I don't know why you are in such a hurry to leave the palace?" ”
The little eunuch was so nervous that he was incoherent, but he was still flamboyant: "Slave...... The minion is convicted. The slave took advantage of the purchase in the palace to get some oil and water, and his heart was quite empty, for fear that the incident would happen and his life would be lost. Therefore, I had to invite myself out of the palace. ”
A school of prevarication.
Mo Guhan didn't want to talk nonsense, and glanced at Chu Mubai, Chu Mubai immediately understood, stepped forward and clamped his shoulder blades, and his subordinates suddenly exerted force, and the little eunuch screamed, and suddenly sweated like rain.
"One more lie, immediately dismantle your bones first." Chu Mubai snorted coldly.
The little eunuch hugged his arms so painfully that his whole face began to twitch and deform: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Say!"
"Slave, slave is actually not clean when he was clean, and now he has convex flesh. Soon, this will be a five-year inspection, if there is a clean body in the palace, they will be brushed with a knife again, and the taste of life is better than death has only been tasted, and I really don't want to taste it a second time.
It just so happened that the slave had a little savings in his hands, so he thought that he would invite himself out of the palace and live happily outside the palace, and he could also enjoy personal happiness. Therefore, the slave took advantage of his position in advance to buy land outside the palace and transfer the fine soft. ”
"That's why you asked to leave the palace?"
Mo Guhan asked casually.
The little eunuch nodded hurriedly: "The slave has already asked the chief manager for instructions, and everything is true." ”
Mo Gu didn't raise his head, just snorted coldly, and Chu Mubai stepped forward to do it again.
The little eunuch was frightened, and said in a panic: "There is, there is." ”
"Say it!" Mo Gu said lazily: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry." ”
The little eunuch had a bitter face: "What the slave said is true, and it was really for this reason that he invited himself out of the palace." As a result, this matter somehow went out of the news, a few days before the slave left the palace, someone found the slave, threatened each other with this matter, handed over some embroidery thread to the slave, and asked me to come forward to offer it to the queen. ”
Finally getting to the point, Mo Guhan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and asked sharply, "Who is it?" ”
The little eunuch shook his head: "The minions don't know either." ”
"You don't know who she is, so you dare to be coerced by her to act as a tiger?"
The little eunuch burst into tears in an instant: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, it's not that the slave is confused, but that person is blackmailing the slave with this matter, saying that if I don't listen to her orders, I will report this matter back to you, saying that I intend to defile the court and hide it." At that time, it will not be such a simple thing as re-brushing the stubble, it will be a loss of head.
The minions had already paved the way for the future, and a better day was just around the corner, when such a thing suddenly appeared coldly, the minions really hesitated for two days, and were forced to respond helplessly.
The man was haunted, and he talked about her identity, and even her appearance was unknown. She wanted the life of a minion, and it was as easy as a snap. The slave thought, but it was just some embroidery thread, and there would never be anything greasy, so he had no choice but to do it. ”
"Is that man a man or a woman?"
"Female, female!" The little eunuch replied hurriedly.
"Tall, short, fat and thin, old? Are there any distinguishing features? ”
"It's a young man, not tall, a little petite, a figure, wrapped in a black dress, it doesn't seem to be fat."
"Looks?"
"She has a black scarf on her face, and she is tight, and most of the time she stands with her back to her, and the minions are not seen."
Petite, not tall, and elusive, kung fu is not bad, it turned out to be a practitioner. Yuehua was suspicious for a while, isn't it Concubine Ling? Concubine Ling has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and she should not have such skills.
"And did she look for you again?" Yuehua asked suspiciously: "Since you don't know that the embroidery thread is poisonous, why do you have to trick the golden cicada into shedding its shell?" ”
The little eunuch shook his head firmly: "She is true to her word, after I gave the embroidery thread to the mother, she never came to me again." A few days later, under my repeated urging, the chief administrator approved the slave to leave the palace. At that time, the servant was afraid that the embroidery thread would really cause some trouble, and the man had his hands and eyes to the sky, and if he found the door again, there would be nowhere to escape, so he kept an eye on it.
After the slave returned to the township, he cheated to death, and then returned to the capital incognito to enjoy happiness. Who knew that when he bought the land, he was deceived by someone, and when he came to the capital, he found that he had nothing, and he did not dare to report to the official, for fear of revealing his identity, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.
Later, the silver was spent, and there was nowhere to go, so he begged on the street and met the queen's mother. ”
