256. It is to keep the Wang family
Lin Xi was surprised: "How can it be in the hands of the imperial court?" They don't take care of it! The poisoning of the old lady was committed by Yi Hong, who was an important minister of the court. It can be said that in the eyes of the old Chu relics, Yi Hong represents the imperial court. ”
Shen Chen only said two words: "Wang." ”
Lin Xi was shocked, and suddenly brightened, and said incredulously: "Could it be that the imperial court wants to put all the fault on the Wang family later?" ”
Shen Chen said: "Not bad. ”
Lin Xi couldn't help but gasp.
Whether the murderer is Yi Hong or Wang, there is a huge difference between the two.
If it is Yi Hong, it is the life of the imperial court as the old lady of the old Chu remnant clan.
But if it's the Wang family, it's just that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, the daughter-in-law is ruthless, and the big rebellion is a family matter that can be solved behind closed doors.
In this way, if the old Chu relics use this as a reason to start a rebellion, it will be unjustifiable, and the imperial court can take it for granted to exterminate them.
After the deed was accomplished, the imperial court was not at fault. All the faults are borne by the Wang family, and the sinner who committed a huge mistake in the eyes of the world and provoked the war is the Wang family, and it is the Wang family who is not filial to his mother-in-law and does not do a good job as a daughter-in-law, so there are many chaos.
In this way, the infamy will not fall on the imperial court.
Lin Xi got goosebumps all over his body and muttered, "It's too ruthless." It turned out that the Wang family was sent to the temple outside the city, not to take the opportunity to find evidence, but to take the opportunity to transfer the Wang family, so that the people of the old Chu relics would not catch her as a testimony because the court forced her to do it, and it was also convenient to keep the Wang family, and wait for the Wang family to turn the tables in the end. ”
Maybe in the end, Wang wouldn't know that he was being used by the people around him, let alone that he would become such a sinner.
"What's even more ruthless is Yi Hong, the old lady is his mother! How could he bear to hurt his mother! ”
Lin Xi can barely understand what the Wang family did, after all, if he wants to harm his own mother, it is normal to make the other party pay the price. But Lin Xi couldn't understand the latter at all.
How could Yi Hong do something that harmed his mother, and used his mother as that kind of reason?!
Shen Chen's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's the imperial court, not Yi Hong." ”
Lin Xi shook his head and said, "Even if I can't help myself, I can't understand it." What could be more important in this world than family? If you harm your family for the sake of your future, how can such a person be worthy of a bright future? Can the imperial court use people who can even be abandoned by their families at critical moments? Aren't you afraid that one day such a person will also abandon the imperial court in front of the greater good?? ”
Lin Xigang finished speaking indignantly, looked at Shen Chen's calm face, and suddenly remembered the four words he said about the East Window incident just now.
Lin Xi frowned, realizing that something was wrong.
"Shen Chen, what did you just say...... The secret is out? ”
Shen Chen saw that she reacted and nodded.
Lin Xi secretly said that it was not good, grabbed Shen Chen's hand, and asked nervously: "You mean, Yi Hong will take the initiative to spread the news of the murder of the old lady?" ”
Shen Chen said: "Even if Yi Hong doesn't do this, the people behind Yi Hong will force him to do it, or spread the news for him." ”
Lin Xi became even more nervous, "Then you decided to leave today, is it because the news came out quickly?" ”
Shen Chen was silent for a few moments, and said, "Originally, I wasn't sure, but the old lady advised you to leave as soon as possible, I guess it should be soon." So, if you can go as soon as possible, go as soon as possible. ”
Lin Xi was stunned.
She said why did the old lady suddenly persuade her to leave and ask her to take Yi Huaijin away!
It turned out that it was kindness that allowed her to save her life!
Lin Xi swallowed his saliva and asked the last question: "That...... Are there many old Chu relics in Jinling? ”
Shen Chen hesitated, and finally decided to tell Lin Xi the truth. He said: "In the past few years, the old lady of Yifu has been living in Jinling. As a descendant of the old Chu royal family, she secretly took care of the remaining Chu people. The Chu people, who still exist, have moved to Jinling one after another in the past few years. ”
Even if the imperial court claimed that the Chu people and the Qin people were like a family, the prejudice of the Qin people against the Chu people was not so easy to eliminate, and the situation of the Chu people was not very good so far, and no Chu people could enter the business and change their family background.
Therefore, many Chu people hugged each other to warm and protect each other, and gradually developed into an organized existence.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court can no longer ignore some small actions of the Chu people, and they have found a lot of them.
When Lin Xi heard this, he immediately said, "Go!" Let's leave today, I won't participate in tomorrow's lantern festival, it's important to go home! ”
Thinking about it this way, sure enough, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.
At least Pingxian is a peaceful and prosperous era, and such a thrilling thing will not happen.
Lin Xi didn't eat anymore, and hurriedly packed up his baggage.
Shen Chen looked at her, turned his head and looked at the door again, as if he could see the people secretly guarding outside. He frowned.
……
The other side.
Yi Hong didn't stay in the High Crane Tower for too long, and after leaving the High Crane Tower, he returned to Yi Mansion.
But Yi Hong came back very low-key, and almost no one knew about it. When he arrived at the door, the housekeeper who guarded the door even recognized him, and was just about to salute in shock, but Yi Hong was exempted, and said as he walked inside: "Close the door, don't leak the news of my return." ”
The family was stunned when they saw that Yi Hong was actually wearing a hat.
And the people brought by Yi Hong directly dragged the family in with good training, and then quickly closed the door of the mansion and sealed the small doors everywhere.
Yi Hong went straight to the old lady's residence in the backyard.
When he arrived, Mama Chang was persuading Yi Huaijin to have lunch, but Yi Huaijin insisted on cooking medicine for the old lady first.
"I'm not too young, I don't know if you should take care of your body first and don't worry your elders?"
Yi Hong went in and scared Yi Huaijin and Chang Mama when he made a sound.
The people in the courtyard were also stunned, and after Yi Huaijin called his father in surprise and joy, he came back to his senses and knelt down to salute.
Yi Huaijin saw Yi Hong, took off the steadiness he pretended, his eyes were red, and he said in a panic: "Dad, you are finally back!" The child is not filial, he did not take good care of his grandmother, and her grandmother ......"
Yi Hong's expression softened, and when he took off the hat, his expression was as calm and calm as usual, and he said, "My father knows, your grandmother has told me in the letter. Huai Jin, you've done a good job. Manly man, don't cry your nose. ”
Yi Huaijin wiped his face, looked up at his admired father, and said, "The child is provincial." Dad, that woman from the Wang family is still in the temple outside the city, you must clean her up and take this breath for your grandmother! ”
Yi Hong hummed lightly and said, "You go back to the room for dinner first, there is a father here." ”
"But I still want to make medicine for my grandmother......"
"With Mama Chang here, she knows your grandmother better than you and will take care of it carefully." Yi Hong touched Yi Huaijin's head and said non-negotiably: "Be obedient, go back." ”
