Chapter 018: Punishment and Grounding

readx;?“ Let's talk about it, what's going on?" Shen Ze felt a trace of vigilance in his heart when he heard the word refugee. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He thought that these people would flee nearby and resettle relatively close to their homeland, but he didn't expect that there were also refugees in the capital.

"Your Majesty, these refugees all came from other places seven days ago, and the number is not very large, but the situation is miserable. Master Sal spoke, and then told the story, "Most of those refugees are old people and children, and although the grass people are a deceitful man, they can't bear to see them wandering, so they took them to live in Qingyunzhuang. The grass people earn money on the street every day, so they buy some steamed buns and go back to let everyone share the ......"

But the good times didn't last long, and Master Sal didn't get much money by cheating, and he couldn't meet the needs of so many people, so he couldn't help it, but at this time, someone came to the door and said that he was willing to give him a large sum of money, just to ask him to help with something.

After listening to the words of the visitor, Master Sal immediately agreed, after all, he is the best at this pit abduction, nothing more than to deceive the ordinary people in the past, and now to deceive the nobles in the palace.

So, there is today's scene.

The road map in the palace was something he had memorized a long time ago, and the portraits of some characters in the palace had also been seen by him, so he would know exactly the official positions of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the grass people who are also forced to be helpless, just spare the grass people, and the grass people don't dare anymore. When Gen-la had finished talking about everything, he kowtowed again and said so.

"Do you recognize the appearance of the person who gave you money and let you enter the palace to cheat?" asked Shen Ze.

"The grass people recognize it. "As long as the grass people see that girl again, the grass people will definitely recognize it." ”

At this point, the truth has been revealed, Chenxi's confession plus Master Sal's confession is enough to testify against Yang Meiren, as long as Master Sal identifies the palace maid next to Yang Meiren, then it can be over.

"Mama Qi, you go to Jiuhua Hall and tell Yang Meiren that the real culprit of witchcraft has been found, and this palace specially rewarded her with a few things to suppress her shock. Rong Ya opened her mouth and said, "By the way, let Ying'er lead a few powerful palace maids around Yang Meiren to come over to receive the reward." ”

"The slave obeys. Mama Qi listened to Rong Ya's words and bowed to leave.

And after Mama Qi left, Rong Ya turned her head to look at Yun Yao and asked, "Sister Yun Yao, did I do this?"

"That's perfect. Yun Yao nodded, affirming Rong Ya's behavior.

Rong Ya is extremely smart, she knows that now she has to identify the maid next to Yang Meiren, and then convict Yang Meiren, but she can't let Yang Meiren know in advance and be prepared, so she can only use this way to call Yang Meiren's maidservant over.

After waiting for a while, Ying'er and Rui'er, the two first-class palace maids, came with a few second-class palace maids from Jiuhua Palace, except for the inferior palace maids who did rough work in Jiuhua Palace, these should be reliable people around Yang Meiren.

When they entered the hall, Ying'er was about to open her mouth to thank Rong Ya for Yang Meiren's last time, but she heard Rong Ya say to Master Sal:

"Mage, come and see, the girl who gave you the money was among them?"

Hearing this, Sal took a few steps closer, his eyes swept over the faces of these palace maids one by one, and then stopped on Rui'er's body, and said: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, she is the one who bought the grass people to enter the palace to cheat. Although she was not wearing this dress or combing her hair that day, the grass people recognized it, and the grass people still remembered that she was wearing a jade bracelet on her hand. ”

"Zhuzhi, you go and take a look. Rong Ya commanded.

Zhuzhi answered, and then walked in front of Rui'er, rolled up her sleeves, and just saw that on her wrist, with a pair of jade bracelets, the color was crystal clear, and at first glance it was not ordinary, nor was it something that a little palace maid like her could afford.

Everyone's rhetoric was also matched one by one, and in the end, it turned out that Yang Meiren wanted to curse Zhou Meiren and designed to frame the queen, and directed and acted in a play.

After finding out the truth, Yun Yao resigned from Rong Ya, left the Hehuan Palace, went to Jianzhang Palace, and reported to the Queen Mother, while Chenxi, Rui'er and Master Sal were also ordered by Rong Ya to be temporarily detained in the dark room and waiting for disposal.

Shen Ze saw that the matter had been resolved, so he didn't have the heart to stay any longer, so he took Lu Yingquan and Gu Qingming, as well as Luo Song, and left the Hehuan Hall and returned to Changming Palace.

The sun gradually set, and the other concubines who watched the excitement all dispersed, only Zhou Meiren refused to leave, she had to stay in the Hehuan Palace, and waited for the Queen Mother's reply to see what kind of punishment Yang Meiren would give.

Yun Yao came to Jianzhang Palace, explained her intentions, and was taken in.

The Queen Mother had just had dinner and was resting on the chair at this time, while Jinxiu and the other two palace maids were waiting beside her, fanning the Queen Mother.

"Slave Yunyao, please say hello to the Queen Mother. Yun Yao knelt on top of the hall and said respectfully.

"Has the matter come to an end?" the Queen Mother asked when she heard Yun Yao's voice.

"Yes. Yun Yao replied, then briefly explained what happened, and finally spoke: "All the human and physical evidence points to Yang Meiren, and I ask the Queen Mother to show it." ”

"Leave it to the Queen. The Queen Mother said, "Since the mourning family has given her the right to take care of the six palaces, she has the right to dispose of anyone in the harem." With the phoenix seal in hand, you have to learn to use it. ”

Yun Yao was stunned for a while when she heard this, she didn't expect such a big matter, the Queen Mother actually let Rong Ya deal with it, after all, if this witchcraft is only in the harem, it will be counted, and now it involves the floods in the south, it is already a big matter involving people's livelihood and stability.

It's just that although Yun Yao was unexpected, she didn't show it too obviously, after all, if the Queen Mother didn't intervene, it would be beneficial to her plan and harmless.

"The slave obeys. Yun Yao answered, and then retreated.

Back at the Hehuan Palace, Zhou Meiren hurriedly surrounded her and asked, "Young Envoy Yun, what did the Queen Mother say?"

"The Queen Mother handed over this matter to the Queen Mother. Yun Yao said, turned to look at Rong Ya, and spoke again, "Queen Mother, how to deal with Yang Meiren, please show Niangniang." ”

"Do you want to deal with it in this palace?" Rong Ya listened, she was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was now the person in charge of the phoenix seal, and she had this qualification, so she said, "Yun Yao, pass on the will of the palace, Yang Meiren believes in witchcraft, harms people in the palace, and the crime is not shallow, but she is a first-time offender, and she has worked hard to serve the emperor, so she demoted her position, demoted to a good person, and was confined to Jiuhua Hall for three months, and was not allowed to go out." ”

As Rong Ya's words fell, Yun Yao had already finished writing on the silk, then put down the pen, took out the phoenix seal from the brocade box on the side, and stamped it on the edict of demotion.

Under the phoenix seal, there is no possibility of changing, Yun Yao sighed in her heart.

Actually, she didn't want to do this, but Yang Meiren moved the idea of killing her first, and still used such a vicious trick, if the purse was really searched from her house, I'm afraid she couldn't tell even if she had a hundred mouths.

"Niangniang, what should we do with those few people locked up in the dark room?" Yun Yao asked again.

"Rui'er aided in the abuse, the crime is unforgivable, it is better to send her to Yongxiang. Rong Ya said, "Although Chenxi had a reason for the incident, after all, she participated in this matter and demoted her to Langyue Pavilion as a rough palace maid, so as to save her life." As for that Sal mage, he had to hand it over to the emperor, because the refugees in Qingyunzhuang still needed to think twice before they could be disposed of. ”

"Yes. Yun Yao nodded, admiring Rong Ya for her young age, but she did things properly.

He is kind-hearted, knows how to perceive cause and effect, does not careless about human life, and knows that he takes into account the overall situation and knows that refugees cannot be dealt with hastily. It seems that Rong Ya has really grown up.

"Queen Mother, Yang Meiren is practicing witchcraft, since ancient times, such strange and chaotic things have been to raid the family and exterminate the clan, why did you get to Yang Ting, but she only lowered her position and was grounded for three months?" Zhou Meiren listened to Rong Ya's words, and her face was not convinced.

"Zhou Meiren, if you are not convinced by the disposition of this palace, you can go to Jianzhang Palace to find the Queen Mother. Rong Ya didn't answer Zhou Meiren's words, but only said so, "Zhou Meiren is still injured, so she should go back to rest early." Yun Yao, when you go to Jiuhua Hall to announce the decree, send Zhou Meiren by the way. ”

After listening to Rong Ya's words, even if she was not convinced, she could only endure it, and then with the support of Lianxin, she walked towards the outside of the Hehuan Hall with a weak step.

Yun Yao was by Zhou Meiren's side, and looking at Zhou Meiren's resentful appearance, she opened her mouth to persuade:

"Zhou Meiren, don't blame the queen for not being heavy-handed. The slaves and maids heard that the flood in the south was widely implicated, and if it could not be dealt with as soon as possible, it might cause a mutiny among the people. And Lord Yushi is also highly respected in the court, and he has experience in controlling floods during the first emperor's period, so it is very likely that Yang Yushi will go on an errand this time. At this time, the inner palace can't have an accident. ”

Seeing that Zhou Meiren and Lianxin were listening carefully to their words, Yun Yao sighed and continued:

"Yang Meiren is the only daughter of Yang Yushi, and she is the pearl that Yang Yushi grew up in the palm of her hand, if Yang Yushi went out on an errand, Yang Meiren was involved in witchcraft and was convicted, and received a very heavy punishment, Yang Yushi was inevitably unwilling, and he would not do a good job for the court. ”

Zhou Meiren listened to Yun Yao's words, and a different color flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show the landscape, and only said to Yun Yao:

"Thank you Young Envoy Yun for mentioning it, even if this matter is revealed, as long as Yang Meiren doesn't cause trouble again, I won't mention it again. There is a fork in the road ahead, I will go back to the Mingluan Hall first, and Yun Shao will make it easy to walk all the way. ”

After saying this, Zhou Meiren left with Lotus Heart, while Yun Yao was alone, heading towards Jiuhua Palace.
