Chapter 41: Nie Wuzheng in the cell
Jia Qianqian returned home and saw that there was nothing abnormal at home. But Mrs. Jia saw that she looked embarrassed and hurriedly asked her what happened to her. Jia Qianqian only said that after leaving the palace, she encountered thunder, and the horse was frightened and threw her off the carriage, but fortunately she was not injured.
Because she had something on her mind, she liked to take a hot bath the most, so she just hurriedly freshened up and went to the street to inquire about the movement. On the street, Yu Linjun and Zhukuai were searching for suspicious people everywhere, Jia Qianqian asked a catcher, and the catcher only said that he had lost treasures in the palace, and he didn't know what was lost. Jia Qianqian didn't know what happened to Nie Wuzheng now, but she didn't dare to enter the palace now, so she could only be in a hurry.
Jia Qianqian couldn't sleep peacefully all night, and got up early the next day for the first time, which surprised Mrs. Jia to think that her baby daughter had changed sex. When his father returned from the early court, he hurriedly asked him if there was any discussion about the loss of treasures in the palace. Jia's father told her that the ministers and wives who entered the palace yesterday to celebrate Concubine Yagui's birthday were all interrogated, but his baby daughter had a big face, and no one at home came to check it.
In fact, the reason why Emperor Yong'an didn't let people check Jia Qianqian was only because the scepter was originally found with Qianqian's help, and since she gave the scepter to Long Jie and handed it over to the emperor, she naturally wouldn't steal it again. Besides, when the scepter was lost, Jia Qianqian had dinner with him and was always by his side, she really had no motive or opportunity to steal the scepter, so naturally there was no need to doubt her. Emperor Yong'an never dreamed that the scepter was brought out of the palace by Jia Qianqian.
Jia Qianqian pretended to be concerned and asked: "There were a lot of people who entered the palace yesterday, and there was a troupe and more than a dozen jugglers, so aren't they more suspicious?" ”
Father Jia said: "Those people have long been imprisoned in Dali Temple, just waiting for today's detailed trial. I don't know who was so bold that he dared to steal a rare treasure that the emperor had just obtained, which made Long Yan angry, alas! ”
"Those people are all imprisoned in Dali Temple? Has anyone escaped? ”
"Yesterday, except for you and a few ladies who went out of the palace gate first, the rest of the people were all closed in the palace, where can they escape? The Lady of the Decree was not put back until the evening. ”
Jia Qianqian was suddenly anxious, Nie Wuzheng was imprisoned in Dali Temple, if his true identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Dad, do you know the adult in charge of Dali Temple?"
"Why don't you know, the current Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhao, and my father are classmates and friends. But why do you ask this? ”
"Well, it's nothing, didn't I also be in the palace yesterday, so I hope the case can be solved as soon as possible, and I'm so relieved."
Father Jia didn't think too much, anyway, his daughter was much more capable than him, the eldest prince and the third prince rushed to ask for it, and the emperor gave her a gold medal, which made her very majestic, and he also followed the steady progress, staining a lot, so he didn't say discipline to this baby daughter, and now he has to look at her face.
Jia Qianqian thought about it and finally decided to go to Dali Temple. When he arrived at Dali Temple, he secretly stuffed a little silver for the official guarding the door, and asked him to send a message to Lord Zhao, saying that the daughter of Lord Jia, the servant of the ministry, had something to ask to see.
Jia Feiwen is now the official of Zhengsanpin, and he is at the same level as Lord Zhao, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the two are classmates. Therefore, when the official came to report that the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Jia, wanted to see him, although he was surprised, he immediately received her in the side hall.
When he saw Jia Qianqian, who was dressed in men's clothes, he was stunned again. I have long heard that the daughter of his classmate is dissolute and uninhibited, like a man, and now she is favored by the emperor, and even gave her a gold medal, allowing her to enter and leave the palace freely, so that when Jia Feiwen was proud in front of their colleagues, they all had the feeling that it was better to have a boy than a girl.
Jia Qianqian gave Lord Zhao a salute, Lord Zhao smiled and asked her to sit down, and asked: "I have long heard that the daughter-in-law of Lord Jia's family is better than a man, and when I saw it today, I really have the courage to not let me have eyebrows, but I don't know what my niece is doing here today?" ”
Jia Qianqian also smiled and said: "I heard my father say that Lord Zhao, you and my father are classmates and friends, and you passed by here today, so come in and meet you on the way." Hehe. Lord Zhao should be very busy, I'm afraid it's a little disturbing. ”
"There is a little bit of busyness, alas, it was all the case in the palace yesterday. I heard that my niece also entered the palace yesterday, but she was not affected, which is really lucky. ”
Jia Qianqian smiled incomprehensibly: "To tell you the truth, the stolen treasure in the palace was found by me with the third prince, without me, the emperor would not have been able to get this treasure, of course he would not have come to suspect me." I'm here today to see how Lord Zhao's case is going now. There are also some jugglers who entered the palace yesterday, I heard that they are all imprisoned here, has Lord Zhao found any clues? ”
"Those people's whole body, including their belongings, has already been checked ten or eight times, and the people are still in the palace and haven't had time to go out, it shouldn't be what they did, and now they are locked up here, just to be interrogated one by one."
Jia Qianqian's eyes rolled, "Lord Zhao, can I go to the cell to see them?" See if there is anyone suspicious among them. ”
Lord Zhao was a little embarrassed, "Although these people are not felons in the prison, they can't meet outsiders casually." ”
Jia Qianqian took out the gold medal and raised her head, "Lord Zhao should recognize this gold medal, right?" In fact, I also want to help Lord Zhao share his worries and solve the case earlier. ”
This gold medal was taken out, where did Lord Zhao dare to stop her, and he had to accompany her to the cell in person, Jia Qianqian hurriedly excused himself, only saying that it was easier for him to approach them alone, and asked him to send her to the prison.
When the head of the jailer saw that Lord Zhao was personally accompanying her, he immediately understood that the girl in front of him must be an extraordinary person, and hurriedly brought her inside. The people involved in the loss of the palace last night were all held in solitary confinement with ankle bracelets. Jia Qianqian searched one by one, and finally saw Nie Wuzheng wearing a prison uniform and an anklet bracelet. Thinking that he had taken the scepter that he was going to steal with his life, and was hidden by himself again, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
Jia Qianqian took out the gold medal and shook it at the jailer, lying that she was the person sent by the emperor to cooperate with Lord Zhao to solve the case, and asked him to open the prison door, and she wanted to go in and interrogate the prisoner alone.
The jailer opened the cell door and left, and Jia Qianqian walked in with a look of guilt on his face. When Nie Wuzheng saw her come in, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he watched the jailer walk away before he smiled and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, you have hidden the scepter, be careful, don't be discovered." ”
Jia Qianqian lowered her head and said guiltily: "Nie Wuzheng, I'm sorry!" I lost my scepter. ”
"What?" Nie Wuzheng's face suddenly changed greatly, "Qianqian, are you kidding?" ”
"Not kidding, it's true. After leaving the palace yesterday, the horse was frightened by lightning and ran wildly, throwing me and the eunuch who was driving the car off the horse. Because I had to inspect it when I left the palace gate, I put the scepter in the brocade given by the emperor, and the horse dragged the carriage away without a trace. It rained so hard yesterday that I couldn't look for it. Now the entire capital is full of Yulin Army and Catcher, and they dare not search for it. ”
Nie Wuzheng's body shook a little, and he had to hold on to the wall to stand firmly.
Jia Qianqian stretched out his hand to help him, and Nie Wuzheng roared fiercely, "Don't touch me!" After a lot of effort and risk, he finally got the jade medal and the scepter, but he couldn't wait for him to try its magic, and they were all lost in the blink of an eye. How can he bear this kind of great joy and sorrow of gaining and losing?
The jade medal and scepter are gone, and others are still locked up here, and their identities may be exposed at any time, is it that the heavens are going to kill him, and they want to completely destroy the descendants of Dayue?
Fiercely pressed Jia Qianqian's shoulders, "Qianqian, these are not true, you just don't want to give me the scepter, so you make it up, right?" Qianqian, haven't you all recovered your memory? Have you forgotten that I have a deep affection for you, and my heart is biased towards Long Jie and them, so you have to be so cruel to me? ”
Jia Qianqian closed her eyes slightly, "Nie Wuzheng, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" But I didn't lie to you, the scepter is really lost now, and if you want to vent your hatred, kill me. ”
Nie Wuzheng slammed his fist against the wall, and blood suddenly flowed out of the joints. All his dreams were once again gone! If it was someone else who lost the scepter, he would have strangled him with his own hands. But this person is Jia Qianqian, don't say that you love her deeply, even if you don't love her, you also handed over the scepter to her by yourself, how can you blame her at this time?
"Nie Wuzheng, you don't want to be like this, it's just lost, not destroyed, as long as it's still in the world, you still have a chance." Jia Qianqian said with a weak heart, alas! Why did you get caught up in this whirlpool and couldn't get out?
"Opportunity? After working hard for so long, everything has to start from scratch, and if it were you, can you be willing? Besides, now that I'm in prison, where will I have the opportunity to start all over again? ”
"Nie Wuzheng, I will save you out, I promise you, I will definitely rescue you."
"Okay, as long as you rescue me, even if the Jade Seal Scepter falls into the palace again, I will definitely steal them out again." Leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, to this point, it can only be like this.
"I heard that you will be interrogated one by one alone, and I am really afraid that your identity will be revealed before I have time to come up with a solution." Jia Qianqian's words came from the heart, she was really worried that something would happen to him.
Nie Wuzheng obviously sensed her sincerity, so he took off a tail ring from his little finger and handed it to her, "You take this ring to Rong Bao Zhai, who sells antiques at the intersection of Xiangyang Road near the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, find the shopkeeper Liu, hand him this to him, and then ask him to find the person I replaced in the troupe, and then you can find a way to bring him in and replace me." ”
Jia Qianqian felt that this plan was feasible, so he carefully put the tail ring away, and took out a handkerchief to bandage his injured hand. Watching Qianqian concentrate on bandaging him, Nie Wuzheng suddenly flashed a thought, if Jia Qianqian was lying to him and swallowed the scepter by himself, should he forgive her? But he immediately rejected the idea, if Qianqian was lying to him, then she really had no reason to come here to save him, so let him fend for himself.
Jia Qianqian got out of Dali Temple, rented a carriage, and ran to the antique shop.
Everything went smoothly, I met the shopkeeper Liu smoothly, and I met the person in the troupe. It was only after she took the person into the carriage that she began to worry, how could she take him into the cell to replace Nie Wuzheng, who was wrapped in bracelets and anklets?
