A few days have passed, and Wei Yu has been hanging a stone in his heart since he came out of the Qianyuan Hall on that day, and he fell uncomfortably heavily.

However, the collection of evidence against Jiang Pei went quite smoothly.

"The people sent by the Jiang Mansion to spread the rumors in Beijing have been obtained, and the affairs of the Zhou family have been completed, the human and material evidence are all there, and they are waiting for His Highness to be dropped, Meng Shizi said, His Highness can make trouble whenever he wants."

Wei Yu exclaimed in his heart, Meng Che really deserved to be a person who could occupy a high position in Jinyi Wei at a young age, and he did things quickly and safely.

Such a talent is really eye-catching, but it's a pity that Meng Che is different from Xiang Siyuan, he is of noble birth and is the heir that Meng Shangshu has high hopes for, not something she can control.

Jin Yiwei directly obeyed Emperor Cheng's orders, she couldn't get in, otherwise she didn't know how convenient it was to do things, how could she still make such a effort?

Recently, Meng Yingying, under Wei Yu's instructions, continued to incite rumors in the capital, and the spearhead was not only directed at Jiang Pei alone, but even Jiang Mansion was pulled into the water.

Rumors are invisible, low-cost and difficult to stop, and they are not spread in vain.

All in all, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and now it is still necessary to wait for the people's emotions to ferment to the right time, but because she is in the deep palace, it is still a little difficult to grasp.

In the palace, everything is inconvenient, Wei Yu sighed, retracted his thoughts and continued to move forward.

She had just finished discussing the renovation with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, and was planning to take a detour to visit the virtuous concubine who was ill.

Thinking about it, he was passing by the Imperial Garden, it was afternoon, there was silence everywhere, Wei Yu passed by behind the rockery, and suddenly heard a young woman's voice, mourning, sobbing.

"Mama Zhang, the slave maid is not intentional, the matter of the third young master is in an uproar inside and outside the palace, it is a few aunts who are discussing, the slave and maid just passed by and listened to it, and did not say a word."

The voice of the person who was called Mama Zhang was hoarse, and it sounded like at least an old man over half a hundred years old, "Mama knows that you are wronged, but who told you that you just touched the mother's moldy head?" The mother is unhappy, and the mother can't help it, you see, do you end it yourself, or will I help you? ”

This voice is familiar, and at dawn, she heard the eldest grandmother next to Concubine Shu, she secretly looked at Wei Yu's face, and saw that she was just standing with a faint expression, and she didn't mean to ask, so she didn't say much.

The little palace maid who was just sobbing suddenly let go of her throat and cried, mixed with a choked voice and begged for mercy, "Mama spare your life, spare the slave maid!" The slave doesn't dare anymore!! ”

"Don't embarrass my wife, since you don't want to die yourself, then I can only help you, drag it down......"

There was a violent struggle over there, Wei Yu glanced at Dawn, Dawn immediately understood, and shouted, "Who is rapping behind?" Crying and crying don't make people live in peace?! ”

The sound behind the rockery stopped, and the hand of the palace person supported by Wei Yu slowly walked over.

The imperial garden is built near the water, there is a natural small lake in the garden called Mingjin Lake, the waterway is meandering, extending in all directions, after the rockery is just a branch road, the green waves ripple in the spring, the floating is sparkling.

There were a few palace people standing next to the waterway, Wei Yu came out from behind the rockery, showed his true body, looked at the face of the old woman Tie Qing who was the head, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Mama Zhang, which one is this singing again?" ”

The palace people saluted Wei Yu, and Mama Zhang pointed to the little palace maid in pink on the ground, and said righteously, "Back to Your Highness, this cheap slave is not inferior, offending Niangniang, and the slave is about to dispose of her." ”

The palace maid saw the vitality, and crawled over in two steps to grab Wei Yu's skirt and cried out in tears, "The princess spares her life, the slave maid is wronged, please ask the princess to spare her life!" ”

Wei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her immature little face, she looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was delicate.

"You are a person in the palace of Concubine Shu, don't you know that this palace is not in harmony with Concubine Shu? How do you come to me? ”

The palace maid tightened on this last straw, where did she care about this?

"Princess, help! Niangniang was angry that the third prince had acted inappropriately, and she was angry with the palace maid, and had killed many sisters, and the princess was merciful and begged the princess to give the slave a way out! The slave is willing to make a horse for the princess! ”

She was clever, and she knew that Wei Yu and Concubine Shu were not in harmony, so she sold Concubine Shu's abuse of lynching and the matter of human life in two sentences to show goodwill.

Mama Zhang's face changed, "This will die if she doesn't obey, what is her mouth full of nonsense?" Don't stain the princess's ears! ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the two inner eunuchs behind her, and was about to come up to escort the palace maid.

Wei Yu raised his head and coldly reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Hongu is asking if she didn't ask you, are there any rules?! ”

The two inner prisoners were caught by her, and their movements stopped, not daring to move.

Mama Zhang stopped in a daze, her old face turned red, and her face became more and more ugly, she was Concubine Shu's dowry, with high seniority and status, and she had not been reprimanded in public like this for a long time.

Dawn took the palace maid to the side and guarded her behind her.

Wei Yu raised her chin slightly and looked at Mama Zhang, "Let me ask you, you said that she was offensive and planned to execute her?" ”

"Is this what the lady mean?"

It is natural for the palace concubine to deal with the mistakes made in the palace by herself, and no one can blame her. Mama Zhang straightened her waist and replied confidently: "Without the meaning of the lady concubine, how dare the old slave be proficient?" ”

Wei Yu raised his willow eyebrows, pointed at her and scolded angrily, "Nonsense! There are rules in the palace, all registered palace people who commit capital crimes must be handed over to the internal official office for investigation and handling, and the internal official office will convict and punish the crime, and the lady concubine Niangniang has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, how can she not even know this?! ”

"You Diao slave, it's just that you abuse lynching and mutilate the palace maids, and you dare to slander your master? What a big dog guts! ”

"This ...... The old slave ......" Mama Zhang didn't expect her to mention this layer, and she was at a loss for a while, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Although there is such a regulation in the palace, it has always been a fictitious one, and who of the palace concubines has not privately executed a palace person? Who would say it, for the sake of a few palace maids to offend the master?

What's more, Chu Xiu Palace has always been rampant and domineering in the palace, as long as she doesn't go out of line, no one will report her, and she has long forgotten about any palace regulations.

Isn't this princess notorious for ignoring her chores? How can you be so clear about the palace rules?

Mama Zhang's brain was moving rapidly, and she felt very troubled, if she confessed to this crime, she would have to be dealt with by Wei Yu, if she did not admit this crime, she would insist that it was the will of the master, and the person who abused the death penalty and had a mustard humanity would become a concubine.

It's really a powerful mouth, and she doesn't recognize it in a few words.

Wei Yu didn't give her a chance to react, sneered, and shouted, "Someone! Escort these lawless and slanderous slaves to the Shen Penal Division for me! ”

Penal Division?

But the place where the people who made mistakes in the palace did hard labor, as soon as they entered, there was no dignity at all, and it was better than directly escorting her to the inner official prison for trial!

Mama Zhang raised her head in disbelief, seeing that there were already palace people walking towards her, obviously not joking, she immediately panicked, knelt down with a soft knee, and kept begging for mercy, "Your Highness forgive me, the old slave knows that he is wrong!" Please forgive Your Highness!! ”

It just so happened that Wei Yu brought a lot of people with him on his trip today, and his two fists were invincible to his four hands, so he escorted them down in two strokes.

Wei Yu turned around, his eyes fell on the little palace maid who had escaped and was trembling, his face softened slightly, "Don't be afraid, your life is saved today." ”

After all, it's just a teenage child, and after walking before the ghost door closes, his courage is almost broken.

The little palace maid couldn't help crying, and couldn't stop kowtowing to Wei Yu while crying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Royal Highness!" Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Princess for your grace! His Royal Highness is merciful, and the slave will never forget the princess's kindness for the rest of her life! ”

She cried pitifully, Wei Yu asked someone to hand her a silk handkerchief, stood aside and watched her cry, until her crying gradually stopped, looked calmer, and then asked, "What is your name?" ”

"The slave maid Chuntao is the third-class palace maid of Chuxiu Palace, and her godfather is Deng Guan, the chief eunuch of Chuxiu Palace."

Wei Yu nodded, and turned to ask about the matter, "You just said that Concubine Shu has dealt with many palace people recently?" What's going on? ”

Speaking of this, Chun Tao's tears couldn't be held back again, "Recently, the news of Jiang Sangongzi and Jiang Mansion in Beijing has been boiling, and Mrs. often writes to cry with Niangniang, Niangniang is upset, so she is angry with our palace people, and five or six people have been killed." ”

Wei Yu frowned, and said unexpectedly: "Have the rumors outside the palace boiled to this point?" Is it so popular even in the palace? ”

She has been busy discussing the princess's mansion with the queen mother these days, and she really pays little attention to the information in the palace.

Chun Tao said: "Yes! Not only in the palace, but also in the streets of the entire capital, no one is not talking about it. ”

"How do you know?" How can a small palace person who lives in a secluded palace know about things outside the palace?

Speaking of this, Chun Tao lowered her head and her face became sad.

"The slave maid has a sister who specializes in buying things for the lady concubine, and often goes in and out of the palace, and the slave and maid listen to her."

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, tears poured out uncontrollably, and her voice choked, "A few days ago, my sister was talking to the palace people in private about the third son, who was heard by the mother, and was filled in the dry well outside the Chuxiu Palace, and now there are no people. ”

Wei Yu listened, and his heart was rarely filled with a little pity, although he had known that Concubine Shu was domineering, but he didn't expect the means to be so cruel, he simply didn't take human life seriously.

She lowered her eyes and asked, "You can't go back to Chuxiu Palace now, what are your plans for in the future?" ”

Chun Tao took two steps back on her knees, and kowtowed firmly, "I beg the princess for mercy, the slave and maid are willing to be a cow and a horse for the princess, sprinkling and washing the pulp, miscellaneous and rough work, and the slave and maid are willing to do it!" ”

Hearing this, the palace people who followed Wei Yu had a slightly strange expression.

Hanzhang Hall and Chuxiu Palace are in the same situation, although her words are sincere, and she has made a feud with Concubine Shu, but after all, she is a person from Chuxiu Palace, which inevitably makes people feel guilty......

Wei Yu knew that if she didn't take her in today, it would be a waste of work, and Concubine Shu would not let her go if the matter came to this point, but she had no intention of embarrassing her, so it was better to simply send Buddha to the west.

"It's not a big deal to take you in, it's just that you also know that the people on errand in Hanzhang Palace can't be involved with Chuxiu Palace anymore."

Saving her life, Chun Tao was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of the princess!" The slave and maid must be on an errand in the future, and they will never have any entanglement with the people in Chuxiu Palace! ”

"In that case, let's take her back to the palace and settle her." Wei Yu said, took Dawn's hand and turned around, and continued to walk towards the palace of Concubine Xian.

After walking a distance, Wei Yu turned around and said to Dawn, who wanted to talk all the way: "Go and check, whether what she said is true." ”

After all, she is not really a fifteen-year-old child, and after a lot of things, people will inevitably be more cautious.

Dawn breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes!" ”

She has always been cautious, and she is also worried that the master Bodhisattva will leave a disaster in his heart, and the master is the master, and she thinks more fully than her.

"And things outside the palace...... You send a message to Yingying, you can do it. ”

The people's attention is limited, and one thing is not followed up for a long time, and it will soon be forgotten.

Public opinion has been exaggerated to this point, and it is time to ignite this powder keg to be exploded.
