Chapter 51: The Wind Rises
"It makes no sense."
In Dongchang Hutong on the north side of Dong'anmen, in the magnificent Wei Mansion, Wei Zhongxian, who had just been furious that Liu Qiao dared not to come to see him immediately, suddenly broke out again.
It turned out that after Wang Tiqian couldn't see the apocalypse in the palace, he hurriedly went out of the palace to find Wei Zhongxian and told him everything that happened in the palace.
Compared with his wife's Xian'an Palace being copied, Liu Qiao's dare to disobey himself is nothing at all.
Wei Zhongxian's uncontrollable body trembled a little, and his breathing became heavy, which showed that he was not lightly angry.
But after the outburst, he quickly sobered up a lot, this matter is not simple, it is not simple.
Zhaotai Palace, who has not asked about the world for so many years, suddenly intervened in the affairs of the harem, and went straight to Xian'an Palace as soon as he made a move, which is simply incredible.
If you connect this incident with the disappearance of your wife, it will have to make people think that these two things must be related.
"This is someone who wants to deal with Mrs. and our family, it seems that they have been plotting for a long time."
Moreover, Wei Zhongxian also knew that this was a combination of two forces inside and outside the palace.
The forces in the palace have basically become clear, led by Concubine Zhao and the queen, and the forces outside the palace are now known only King Xin.
But King Shin has no real power, and he can't arrange the kidnapping of his wife at all.
Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian frowned and spit out a name: "Liu Qiao." ”
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and he suddenly shouted: "Quick, at all costs, find Liu Qiao for our family as soon as possible." ”
"Also, send all his family members to our family to the East Factory."
Wang Tiqian on the side was startled, and he instantly figured out a lot of things.
Wei Zhongxian instructed Li Chaoqin again: "You quickly go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen and help our family ask Luo Sigong, his son is so bold that he dares to collude with Liu Qiao to kidnap Mrs. Fengsheng privately, should he Luo Sigong give our family an explanation?" ”
Li Chaoqin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded to the order.
Dongchang Fanzi immediately divided into three roads, and the largest number of people went straight to the outer city to find Liu Qiao and Luo Yangxing.
went all the way to Liu Qiao's home, preparing to control his family first.
The last route was personally led by the great eunuch Li Chaoqin and went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to question Luo Sigong.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian was not sure whether Luo Sigong was involved, so he did not send someone to his house to arrest his family.
The distance between Dongchang and Jinyiwei Yamen is the closest, so Li Chaoqin was the first to arrive this way.
Seeing the people from Dongchang coming violently, the famous Jinyi Wei didn't dare to stop him at his own house, and let the other party break in directly.
The movement was so loud, Luo Sigong was naturally quickly alarmed.
"Father-in-law Li is here, and Luo is far away." Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Chaoqin's intrusion into his Jinyi guard so strongly, Luo Sigong still endured it.
Li Chaoqin came with an urgent mission, so he didn't say so much politeness, and said directly: "Lord Luo, let's take a step to speak." ”
Luo Sigong knew that the comer was not good, so he made a gesture of please.
Li Chaoqin took two henchmen and eunuchs to follow Luo Sigong into a side room, and after the two brocade guards served tea and closed the door and exited, Luo Sigong said directly: "Gonggong Li came this time, why did he come here?" ”
Li Chaoqin said lightly: "Lord Luo, where is Liu Commander Liu Qiao?" ”
"Lord Liu is out on business."
"Away on business? Where to go out? ”
"The whole city is looking for Mrs. Fengsheng, and my Jinyi Guard has also dispatched a lot of capable people, so naturally I am looking for someone."
Hearing this, Li Chaoqin said with a smile: "Looking for someone? Didn't Lord Luo know that it was he, Liu Qiao, who kidnapped Mrs. Fengsheng? ”
Luo Sigong was taken aback, was it really Liu Qiao's doing?
However, his expression did not show it, and he also said: "Gonggong Li, there are some things that can't be said nonsense, where did Liu Qiao have the courage to kidnap Mrs. Fengsheng?" ”
Li Chaoqin snorted lightly: "It's not just Liu Qiao, but the noble son Luo Yangxing is also among them, how can Lord Luo explain to Master Chitose?" Is the mastermind behind this also related to adults? ”
Luo Sigong was shocked again, but he had served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard for decades, so he naturally would not be frightened by Li Chaoqin's words.
Moreover, if Li Chaoqin has definite evidence, does he still need to question like this?
So, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Gonggong Li, do you know when and where Liu Qiao kidnapped Mrs. Fengsheng?" Where are they tied now? ”
"If it is really him who did it, the official will not spare it, and if my son is also involved in it, the official is even more duty-bound, immediately take someone to arrest him in person, and give an explanation to the Chitose Lord in person."
Hearing that Luo Sigong's words were flawless, Li Chaoqin said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as this matter has nothing to do with Lord Luo, Lord Chitose will naturally not have trouble with Jinyiwei." ”
"But Liu Qiao and Luo Gongzi are both seriously suspicious, and Chitose Lord hopes that Lord Luo can find them out as soon as possible and confront them face to face."
Luo Sigong said: "There is no need for Gonggong Li to say much about this matter, the official will order it later." ”
After the meaning of the Chitose Lord had been conveyed, Li Chaoqin didn't stay here for long, and quickly led people out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
"Send someone to keep an eye on here, and as soon as you find Liu Qiao and Luo Yangxing, report it immediately."
As soon as he came out of the back street of Jinyiwei, Li Chaoqin commanded like this.
More than a dozen Dongchang fans who changed into casual clothes were quickly arranged around.
At this time, the other way also arrived at Liu Qiao's house and forcibly rushed in, but except for a few servants, the master's house had already disappeared.
According to the servant's confession, they went back to the countryside for the New Year, and Wei Zhongxian, who learned the news, became more and more sure that Liu Qiao did it.
As for the search for Liu Qiao, because there is no specific target location, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Without a piece of good news, Wei Zhongxian's expression became more and more gloomy, because he knew that the longer the time was delayed, the more unfavorable it would only be to himself, and the opponent would not wait for him.
……
In Cining Palace, Concubine Zhao and the empress who had returned, immediately interrogated the eight palace maids who had been found.
The eight people were separated, and they were not tortured yet, but they simply said the consequences, and their fragile psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, and they told all their origins and the inside story they knew like beans.
Sure enough, they were all Hakka's maidservants in the courtyard outside the palace, and they were blatantly sent into the palace by the Hakka family to pretend to be palace maids.
Now there are five people who are pregnant, among which Chen Baozhu and Liu Sanmei have been pregnant for nearly seven months, so they were put in Xian'an Palace by the Hakka family, and their purpose is self-evident.
Although the long-lived dragon body has been healed, the Hakka still did not give up the bold plan, and prepared to prepare a few baby boys in case of emergency.
But paper can't contain the fire after all, and the whole truth is revealed at this moment.
Almost without exception, the eight palace maids all put the blame on Ke Baba's head, because such a big crime is not something that one of their little palace maids can bear.
Concubine Zhao and Empress Zhang Yan glanced at each other and smiled.
