Chapter 188: We, Arnold, have the softest heart
"Zheng Hongan has no children, and it is not surprising that the illegitimate son is cherished by the Chengguo Mansion, and when the time comes, it will be said that this is Zheng Hongan's willingness to take the blame, and no one will doubt the condition of the Zheng family."
"I also arranged a group of people, secretly pretending that the three princes and the queen could not tolerate the stigma of the Chengguo Mansion, and wanted to get rid of the illegitimate son, and then the clues would point directly to the Middle Palace, and Zheng Hongan would also be assassinated after leaving Beijing, and he would be rescued and sent back to the capital, so as to provoke the relationship between the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes."
She didn't hide her original plan, and she also told Qiu Changqing what she was telling him to do.
Xue Nuo left a lot of hands on Zheng Hongan's affairs, and her ultimate goal was to provoke the relationship between the queen, the three princes and the Chengguo Mansion, so that they could take advantage of the situation.
Shen listened to her words and was shocked, but he couldn't help but say, "The matter of the Criminal Department is really not done by you. ”
He knew that Arnold was not the little Chitose in his dreams.
Xue Nuo listened to his words, and couldn't help but curse a stupid sentence in his eyes that suddenly lit up, but when he turned his head, the indifference on his face faded, and his eyes couldn't help but bend slightly.
The corners of his mouth curled up for a moment before being suppressed, Xue Nuo said to Qiu Changqing, "Do you know who is secretly making ghosts?" ”
Qiu Changqing shook his head: "The person who poisoned was arrested by the Criminal Department, and he kept saying that he was instructed by the Chengguo Mansion, and several people died in the Criminal Department, and the security near the prison was strengthened, and our people couldn't get in. ”
No matter who the person who did it today dares to blatantly poison the criminal department and cause such a big mess, it is impossible to leave such an obvious handle for others.
The details of the person who poisoned either can't be found, and if it can be found out, I'm afraid that people are willing to let it be found, and it will not be of much use in the end.
Xue Nuo also knew what Qiu Changqing meant, and when he crossed his hands, he held his chin with a pestle on his cheek: "What can do this is nothing more than two purposes, either to blame the Chengguo Mansion and want to use this matter to kill the Chengguo Gonggong, or to come to the Criminal Department." ”
Shen remembered what happened in the East Palace before, and said to her: "The probability of framing the Chengguo Mansion is not very high, Your Majesty will not believe such an obvious thing, the Chengguo Mansion has just been punished when the turtle shrinks, and Your Majesty will not easily ask for the crime again, but it is Lord Wu's side, I am afraid that someone will want to harm him." ”
Xue Nuo looked at him angrily: "Aren't you quite shrewd?" ”
Shen paused for a moment, knowing what she was talking about, and couldn't help but say, "It's different." ”
Xue Nuo sighed, but he didn't say anything more about Shen Ke, just thinking about the matter of the Criminal Department.
Planting this thing, the emperor is willing to believe that no matter how obvious someone is doing the game, he can be convicted, if he doesn't believe it, the evidence is conclusive, and he will not move the Zheng family.
Those who dare to act in the Criminal Department at this time will not fail to see that the palace does not want to liquidate Chengguo Gong, and it is estimated that they should also know the "balance" between Chengguo Mansion and Emperor Tianqing, so this bureau should not be against Cheng Guogong.
Xue Nuo also knew that it was impossible for Emperor Tianqing to move Chengguo Gong at the moment, so she never thought of the trick of killing the son of the Peng family to blame Chengguo Mansion from the beginning, because it didn't work at all, she just wanted to drive a wedge between the three princes and Chengguo Mansion, so that they would be suspicious of each other and no longer trust, and plan for the future.
She rubbed her fingertips and rubbed her lips: "If you want to calculate Wu Jinliang, it is not enough to kill people in the Criminal Department, since you can see through it, you will not let Wu Jinliang entangle with Cheng Guogong, and Wu Jinliang will not use this strategy if he doesn't take the lead...... But will those people make such a scene in vain?"
Xue Nuo squinted slightly, but Shen also frowned.
After a few moments, both looked up at the same time.
"Prince."
Shen suddenly got up: "Their purpose is the crown prince." ”
Xue Nuo also put down his hand and said: "The crown prince and the third prince have been competing for a long time, and they have suffered countless losses, seeing that although the Chengguo Mansion has lost power, His Majesty has not severely punished him, and he is unwilling to pull people down because of the affairs of the household department, so he instructed Wu Jinliang to make today's intention to blame the Chengguo Mansion......"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned,
"No, such a simple word is too easy to be recognized, and even if the person who is arrested bites back, it may not be able to convict the prince."
The crown prince is the prince, even if he is at odds with Emperor Tianqing, but with the support of Shen Zhongkang and other old ministers, it is not so easy to be dragged down by people casually, and just a human testimony cannot convict the prince, and if you want to crucify the prince completely, unless there is a greater crime.
She took two steps in place, her eyes falling on the rabbit lantern hanging by the window.
The wick in the lamp had long been extinguished, and the dew in the night soaked the surface of the lantern, and the paper was softly pasted on the lamp frame, and the bamboo strips inside were exposed.
Xue Nuo remembered the two lotus cups that suddenly appeared in Hengyun Pavilion last night, and his expression suddenly became cold.
"Qiu Changqing, you let people go to Yunxiang Mansion to check whether the person arrested in the Criminal Department has been in and out of Yunxiang Mansion or the Mansion of the Four Princes, and immediately send someone to tell Fourth Uncle Zhan, let him enter the palace to see His Majesty now, and impeach Wu Jinliang, the secretary of the Criminal Department...... said that he did not manage the Criminal Department well, and let the thieves and thieves mess with the Yatang of the Criminal Department. ”
"And the Chengguo Mansion didn't let it go, just said that the Chengguo Gong never restrained his son, did not cultivate his private morality, and connived at the illegitimate son to stay in the criminal department and cause a big disaster, remember how ugly it sounded."
Qiu Changqing saw that she was speaking quickly and urgently, and he didn't dare to delay at all, and turned around and left after receiving the words.
Only then did Xue Nuo look at Shen Ke: "Is there any person or thing left by Princess Yongzhao around the prince?" ”
Shen hesitated: "Yes." ”
Xue Nuo's face changed slightly: "You go to the East Palace immediately, and let the prince deal with all these people and things, quickly." ”
Shen had already sensed that something was wrong, and vaguely guessed something, looking at the solemnity on Xue Nuo's face, even if there was still something incomprehensible, he didn't ask more, and he didn't even ask why she wanted Zhan Changdong to impeach Wu Jinliang, but got up directly and said, "I'll go now." ”
Xue Nuo was stunned when he saw him so decisive, and couldn't help but stop him: "You just believe me like this, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" ”
Shen looked back at Xue Nuo, who was still barefoot and had no image, and said with a serious expression: "I said it, since I brought you back, you are my responsibility, we have been together for so long, I believe in you as I believe in myself." ”
"Xue Chen's light and moon, Princess Yongzhao is also a bright and upright person, although I don't know what your relationship with them is, but I believe that if you don't have a choice, you will never take the most decisive road."
"We, Arnold, have the softest heart."
He smiled at Xue Nuo, then turned around and hurried away.
Xue Nuo stood in place and watched his back get farther and farther away, pinching his palm for a long time before he couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Stupid or not, if you believe me wrong, you will really be able to see the grave grass in the next year......"
