Chapter 55 Disaster Fish in the Pond
In the closed palace of Yan Kingdom, two rough palace people would actually know the life and death of a palace concubine in a distant foreign palace. And they know it so timely, so accurately, so in so much detail. Hell if there's no greasy in this.
After Feng Changqing left, Yan Rinfu entered the inner hall again, quietly sat down by Lechang's bed, and quietly guarded her. Lechang's tears dissipated and stained the wet incense pillow, even in a coma, his body still trembled, and he unconsciously called: "Mother! ”
Yan Rin suddenly became a little sad. She, like him, has no relatives in this world.
He has lost his parents since he was a child, and she, if she has a father, if she has no father, and her mother has been killed in vain. She, like him, was an orphan.
He slowly held her cold hand and said softly, "Don't be sad, in the future, you will still have me." ”
He will protect her. It's like a long, long time ago, there was a person, in a posture of absolute care for the guard, holding him who only knew how to cry bitterly.
Although he didn't say anything, he always, always, was protecting him.
Half an hour later, Feng Changqing came to report: "Your Majesty, the person has been found." ”
After all, the palace is closed, and ordinary eunuchs and palace maids, even if they escape, where can they flee.
Originally, it was a matter of nine out of ten, but Feng Changqing broke out in a cold sweat: "The two rough palace maids, one has committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, and the other wants to jump but doesn't dare to jump, and he was delayed before he was caught by the minister." According to her confession, they knew that they were in trouble, and ran to another palace maid to get an idea, and the palace maid told them that she had frightened the queen. It is to punish the nine tribes. Only if they seek death first will they not affect their relatives. ”
Yan Rin's eyes moved slightly: "There is a problem with that palace maid?" ”
"Your Majesty. This news was indeed the place where the palace maid who persuaded them to die to save their family came out in private. ”
Yan Rin said coldly: "It's not a coincidence. ”
Feng Changqing bowed his head and responded: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"Where did you get the news about this palace maid?"
"She is a low-ranking female official in the palace, and she is responsible for managing the rough envoys and palace maids who sprinkle and sweep in Ganquan Palace. His Majesty is benevolent, and the female officials and eunuchs of the palace have the opportunity to meet their relatives several times a year. Two days ago, she had met with her brother, who had told her the news. Her rank is too low, and she is not alert enough, and she happens to be on an errand in front of the queen of Ganquan Palace. When I heard about the queen's family affairs, I just regarded it as an anecdote, and I couldn't help but say it. She told those palace maids that this was a secret, just listen to it, and don't spread it......"
Yan Rin snorted. A woman who doesn't know the weight of the matter. You flaunt yourself with your ears and eyes, and you know what others don't know. How can you expect others to go out and show off like this? Secret. Just say that you want others to be conservative, and everything will be fine?
She also saw the two little palace maids crying in a panic today to ask her for advice, only to know that she had made a big disaster, in order to clear herself, so that the palace could not investigate. deliberately used such a crime as punishing the nine clans. Trick the two little palace maids into committing suicide. ”
"His heart can be punished." Yan Rin's faint four words have simply decided the fate of this palace maid. "So, her brother?"
"The minister did not dare to let His Majesty wait for a long time. Therefore, he first replied to the decree, and sent his right-hand man to arrest and interrogate this person. ”
Yan Rin nodded slightly: "I don't have anything else to send to you now, you go and investigate this matter first." ”
Feng Changqing didn't dare to delay, and immediately took the order and left. Yan Rin, on the other hand, sat beside Le Chang, frowning and pondering.
Who set up this game? This line is simple and ingenious. The people who served closely around Lechang were all Qin people who accompanied the marriage, and only those who were outside were the people of Yanguo Palace.
If the Qin people around Lechang weren't indifferent to her, they just hid under her status as the queen every day to make trouble, and even neglected the most basic duties, and the gossip of those rough palace maids wouldn't reach Lechangdi's ears anyway.
Those rough palace people have a very low status, and the corresponding range of activities in the palace is also the narrowest. They don't have any sensitive minds, and their lives are monotonous, so it's impossible not to tell each other about this news. Their range of activities is small, and they are concentrated around Lechang, since those Qin people did not do their best to isolate them from Lechang, then, the possibility of letting Lechang hear this news before the palace steward finds out, is already very great. The difference is just one day earlier and one night
Already.
He thought about it again and again, to spread the news to Lechang, there is indeed no more convenient and safer place than to use this female official brother. But to be able to think of these and adopt such a strategy, the person with this layout must be extremely meticulous, or it is ...... I have an extraordinary understanding of the Yan Imperial Palace.
Yan Rin's face turned cold. Lechang is just a child. Her mother is just a concubine with no background. How can they be, what forces have they provoked, so careless about blood?
Although he took the opportunity to punish all the Qin people to the Shangyi Bureau, and in the future, he would no longer be able to worry about Lechang's deaf eyes and ears, which could be regarded as a hidden danger in his heart, but he did not have the slightest gratitude. The person who did this, this Liangzi, he wrote it down.
As soon as Feng Changqing came out of the palace, he saw An Wuji smiling and greeted him, and he was stunned: "You didn't go back to my mansion?" ”
"Knowing that there is excitement to watch, where can I still be idle." An Wuji smiled: "If there is anyone I can help with, just command." Of course, if it's inconvenient for me to know, it doesn't matter, just say it. ”
They are old friends, and naturally there is no need to be polite and tentative around the corner. Feng Changqing said with a smile: "It's okay, something happened in the palace, I guess, I'm afraid that I can't get rid of the conspiracies and tricks of other countries." It just so happens that being a spy is your old job, so you can come and help me. I've already sent someone to arrest and interrogate me, so let's go over now and talk as we go. ”
Out of the palace gate, the two let go of their horses and whipped their horses, Feng Changqing led An Wuji, and while going to the mansion, he explained the cause and effect to him.
An Wuji shook his head and said: "If there is really a ghost among them, you send the inner guards to catch people, won't you startle the snake." ”
"Don't worry, I've already confessed, and asked them to pretend to be errand officials directly, only saying that someone sued the official, and first arrested the person to the yamen to fight a lawsuit, and then waited until he entered the cell, cleared the scene, and then interrogated carefully."
While they were talking, two subordinates in front of him galloped over. As soon as he saw Feng Changqing from afar, he immediately got off the horse and gave a salute.
Feng Changqing immediately asked, "How?" ”
The man was very useless, only arrested and frightened a few times, and then confessed everything. He also listened to the mercy of others and accepted the money from others, so he stabbed the news to the sister of the queen mother in the palace. The man claimed to be from the Qin State, with a Qin accent, saying that he felt that Concubine Lan had died unjustly and hoped that her only daughter would know, but with a few silver tickets, he bought the guy who didn't know the severity. He revealed the news to his sister in a casual conversation according to what the man taught, and then he originally wanted to take the silver and run away, but in the past two years he has been addicted to gambling, and he has been stuck in the casino for the past two days, forgetting everything, and the silver is almost lost, and only these two silver tickets remain......"
The Praetorian lowered his voice so that only the few people they had gathered could hear it, and presented it with a silver ticket from his bosom. Feng Changqing took it in his hand, put it in his sleeve without looking closely, and asked indifferently: "Do you know where the so-called Qin people are now?" ”
He didn't know the whereabouts of the Qin people, and when he confessed, he only said that when he was drinking tea in a teahouse on the outskirts of Beijing, the Qin people suddenly appeared and chatted with him about it slowly. The chief guard was afraid that the teahouse was a haunt for the Qin people, so he didn't dare to slack off, so let's come back and report to the commander, he had to rush to catch the people in the teahouse first. ”
Feng Changqing and An Wuji were startled at the same time, and asked in unison: "Beijing suburb teahouse?!" ”
asked a word, and at the same time was surprised by the strange appearance of the person next to him, and he was not stunned, and then turned his head at the same time and looked at the other party's surprised face.
