Chapter 233: Crime
When Xiao Lingjiang returned to Chizhou City, the original chaos had calmed down.
After Wen Deliang knew that she was back, he hurriedly greeted her out of the house: "Princess, the things you ordered have been done." ”
After receiving the news of Xiao Lingjiang, he immediately summoned a doctor, collected medicinal materials, food and things that were convenient for accommodation and sent people to the outside of the city, striving to settle the affected people as soon as possible.
Xiao Lingjiang in the car heard this and said "um" softly.
Wen Deliang saw that she didn't show up in the car, and couldn't help but look at He Zheng with some doubts.
He Zheng glanced at him and explained in a low voice: "The princess met an assassin outside the city and was injured......
Wen De's conscience was shocked: "Is there a big problem with the princess?" ”
He Zheng was about to speak, but he heard Xiao Lingjiang cough lightly, and said softly: "It's not good to say much in front of the mansion right now, I still have some things to ask Thorn Shi, so Wen Thorn Shi will come to my courtyard." ”
Wen Deliang understood, and immediately turned sideways to make a way, allowing the carriage to enter the mansion directly.
When he arrived at the Thorn Mansion, he waved away the others, and then saw Xiao Lingjiang carrying someone on his back and getting out of the carriage.
Seeing her pale as paper, Wen Deliang couldn't help but be startled.
Ho! It didn't look like it was just a flesh wound.
Good princess, if something goes wrong in his Chizhou, his assassin will inevitably be implicated.
Wen De's conscience was worried, and he followed Xiao Lingjiang into her courtyard worriedly, and watched the people waiting beside her first put her on the soft floor and reclined, and then busily went to boil medicine.
There was also a yellow-clothed man with a stinky face standing beside her, who seemed to be the person who followed her, but Wen Deliang had no impression before.
The yellow-clothed Langjun rolled his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, you are injured like this, and you don't forget to worry about your." ”
He didn't know whether to admire Xiao Lingjiang for being able to endure it, or to scold her for not dying.
After that, he stared at Wen Deliang impatiently, as if he was disgusted with him.
Wen Deliang couldn't help but stiffen, he looked at Xiao Lingjiang, who was bloodless, and asked worriedly, "Princess, ...... you?"
Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand and said in a low voice: "If you can't get in the way, Wen Tingshi doesn't have to worry too much." ”
"I came to you to ask you what happened to the Mei clan during the Gu Rebellion?"
As soon as she knew about the affairs outside the city, she guessed that the Mei family and the Divine Palace had done it, so before leaving the city, she secretly instructed Wen Deliang to send someone to keep an eye on the Mei family with several people under her command.
Once the Mei family makes a move, they will immediately take action to trap the Mei family first.
She has been busy with affairs outside the city, and there are not many people in the city, so the Mei family in the city still has to look at Wen Deliang.
Wen Deliang nodded and replied: "The matter arranged by the princess before she went out of the Shi Mansion has already been sent by the lower officials to keep an eye on it. Just ......"
He frowned and said, "There is no movement in the Mei family. ”
At first, he was worried that those people in the Mei family would take advantage of the chaos, thinking that if they made a move, his manpower would be able to immediately take action to trap the Mei Mansion first.
But the Mei family is very stable, obviously they have been targeted by Princess Yong'an, but they still look like nothing happened, and when the outside of the city is in chaos because of the Gu withering, they are also like the big clan next to them, and they don't go out.
"Oh?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows.
Did they calculate that she would not come back from nowhere, and others would have no time to take care of the Mei family's affairs, or did they feel that the evidence in her hand was nothing, so they had nothing to fear?
After all, that Cen Niang is no longer there, she is a person from the Divine Palace, and there is no way to confirm the name of the Mei family's collusion with the Divine Palace.
Xiao Lingjiang sneered coldly: "Since this Mei family sits like this, then there is a history of Lao Wen's assassination to invite Mei Qu, the head of the Mei family, and his son Mei Qing to go to the Chizhou prison for a while." ”
Anyway, she had planned to do so. It's just that the withering thing has disturbed her previous plan.
"This ......" Wen Deliang couldn't help but hesitate, "I don't know what charge the subordinate should take down the person?" ”
After all, the Mei clan is a family member, and during the Gu Withering Rebellion, he thought that it was also a matter of urgency to besiege the mansion, but now that it has calmed down, he is going to detain the two principals of the family at once, and there must be a reason, right?
Xiao Lingjiang stroked his chest and coughed lightly: "The woman who was left in the mansion before was Mei Quyan's eldest son's friend. She and the Mei family's eldest Langjun once gave birth to a daughter, called Cen Niang. It's just that the Mei family refused to admit it, so they sent their mother and daughter away. ”
Then, Mei Qu's grandson was sick and weak, and he had to exchange blood for evil magic to save his life, so Cen Niang was taken back by the Mei family, only for the purpose of taking blood for blood, and he was sleepy for more than ten years, and then he was used by the Divine Palace. The one who performed spells on her and led her into the Divine Palace was the Taoist of the Divine Palace. And so the woman can testify. ”
These days, she left the woman down and was not idle.
Although the incident of Cen Niang's mother and daughter is a past incident twenty or thirty years ago, it is not completely unheard.
At the beginning, the affair between her and the Mei family's eldest Langjun spread to the ears of the neighbors, and later the house that trapped Cen Niang, she also inquired about the neighborhood.
Although others have never seen Cen Niang's appearance, they have happened to meet people who come and go.
These two images are a pair, which is a human witness.
"The Mei family still has a daughter?" Wen Deliang was surprised, he had been in Chizhou for many years, but he had never heard of such a thing.
He frowned slightly, and said, "But regardless of whether this matter is true or not, just relying on this Cen Niang of the Mei family and the Taoist people who come and go, I'm afraid it can't be confirmed that the Mei family has colluded with the Divine Palace......"
"Yes...... Xiao Lingjiang narrowed his eyes and said, "But Wen Tingshi knows who is the woman I am looking for recently?" And why are you looking for her? ”
Wen Deliang's eyes suddenly realized, and he suddenly understood: "She is the Cen Niang that the princess said, the daughter of the Mei family?" ”
Xiao Lingjiang nodded: "That's right." I sought her because she had colluded with the Divine Palace to stir up a rebellion in the north. ”
"How do you think that portrait in my hand came from? At the beginning, she haunted the northern border, even if she was careful, it was inevitable that she would go to the northern army of Shangzhen, and there were naturally no people who had seen her appearance. There are people in the army who are good at painting, and this portrait is from the Zhenbei army. ”
"Since someone has seen her haunt the northern realm with the people of the Divine Palace, and now that her own mother can prove her identity as the daughter of the Mei family, how can this Mei family get out of the relationship with the Divine Palace?"
Wen Deliang's eyes lit up: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be easy to do." "As for the evidence that can confirm the Mei family's crimes, as long as the person can be detained first, it will naturally be tried slowly.
He bowed his hand and saluted: "Princess, don't worry, the lower official will go and get people." ”
Xiao Lingjiang bowed slightly, and then advised: "Remember to separate Mei Qing and Mei Qu." ”
Mei Qu is a scheming person, but Mei Qing's place, according to her observation and exploration in recent days, may not be without opportunities.
