Chapter 144: First Sight of Chen Zhuoxin
Ji Jun looked at the wall of the well where the sunlight reflected, which her arms couldn't reach because it was some distance above her head.
If you look around and don't find the right thing, you can put it under your feet.
So, Ji Jun held the night pearl high and tried his best to tiptoe close to the wall of the well, but suddenly found that the masonry of the wall of the well here was different from the surrounding ones, and it seemed to be a little worn out.
The rest of the masonry is angular, but here there are no edges and corners, as if one or several layers have been worn away.
This range, Ji Jun estimated, is about 60 to 70 centimeters in diameter, and the size is about the same as the manhole cover of the sewer well seen in his previous life.
Although Ji Yun's hand couldn't touch the center of the place, he could barely reach the edge, and when his hand touched it, he stayed for a while, and he felt a different coolness!
It's the coolness coming out of the walls!
Ji Jun used his hands to test the masonry in other places, and the temperature was really different!
There's a mystery behind the wall of the well in that place!
"What are you doing?" A man's broken drink came from the well, full of energy, and Ji Yun could hear it clearly below!
Inoue, Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin hurriedly came with Yin Hong and a few other servants.
Chen Guogong was dressed in a gray-brown brocade robe, with luxurious fabrics and hidden silver threads, shining in the sun, stealing low-key luxury.
His face sank like water, his eyes were deep, although he couldn't see his emotions, but as Chen Zhuoxin approached step by step, the aura of displeasure exuded from his body, forcing many nobles around him to be silent.
Mei Lin has recently been shortlisted for the screening of the princess, so she has come into contact with many female officials and nobles in the palace, and because she successfully passed the test, she was able to get to know many nobles in Beijing, and many of them are concubines of the family, these people would not even give her a straight eye before.
Merlin thinks that she has seen big people, and she has seen the world.
However, for some reason, Chen Guogong and Chen Zhuoxin approached step by step, which made her more and more panicked.
This idea was made by her, will it anger Chen Guogong?
Mei Lin, who originally felt a little hot, was cold on the soles of her feet at this moment.
Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin's eyes that are not big or small but are still good-looking directly ignore everyone and look straight at the dry well.
Surrounded by Ji Chen, Guan Jingqiu and a few people, at this moment, straightened up and blessed Chen Guogong slightly.
Yang Xu saw that Chen Guogong's face was gloomy, but he was not worried, and she didn't provoke the matter.
But seeing my brother-in-law's expression at the moment, I was a little worried that I couldn't suppress the situation, and I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to my sister, so I hated Guan Jingqiu even more in my heart.
Yang Xu hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at Guan Jingqiu,
"That is Miss Guan, she somehow fell into this well, and then after she came up from the bottom of the well, she insisted that it was the little lady of the Ji family who pushed her down. The little lady of the Ji family said that there was no such thing at all. And no one in front of me saw the little lady of the Ji family pushing Miss Guan down, but Miss Meilin of the Hou Mansion of Huai'an wanted me to return the innocence of the little lady of the Ji family, and Miss Guan did not give me any reluctance, so she had to let me dispose of Miss Ji, saying that if she didn't deal with it, she would jump back into the well if she didn't give her an explanation. Then the eldest lady of the Ji family said that today is the big day of the Guogong Mansion and the Huai'an Hou Mansion, in such a day, don't have unpleasant things, in order to make Miss Guan angry, the eldest lady of the Ji family jumped into the well by herself, saying that she would also stay in the well for a while, so that she hoped that Miss Guan could calm her anger. ”
Ji Xi listened to what the county lord of Yangxu said, and secretly said in his heart that this county lord of Yangxu really doesn't suffer a loss, no wonder the county lord of Yangli used to always be unpleasant to her here, so looking at it, the verbal effort must be that the county lord of Yangxu can't take advantage of it.
In just a few sentences, the county lord of Yangxu has already explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly. And it is basically more fair and impartial, even if she is dissatisfied with Guan Jingqiu, but she does not obviously show a particularly strong preference or hatred.
No wonder it is said that most of the daughters of wealthy families are mostly not given in vain, which is indeed reasonable.
Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin's eyes swept sharply over the faces of several people, and when a cold light shot at Guan Jingqiu, Guan Jingqiu shrank for a moment.
Guan Jingqiu had never seen Chen Guogong, but she had already heard that Chen Guogong was cunning and vicious on weekdays, and at this moment, seeing Chen Guogong's eyes shooting at her like a sharp blade, she suddenly felt that her heart sank!
At this time, when she was holding a happy event in Chen Guogong's mansion, she caused chaos to others, wouldn't Chen Guogong hold a grudge because of this?
After studying it carefully, it was she who provoked the dispute first, and after provoking the dispute and not taking advantage of it, she didn't stop there, and let the situation expand again.
Didn't it touch Chen Guogong's moldy head?
Ji Chen lowered her head slightly, lowered her eyes slightly, she could feel that there was a sharp gaze looking at her.
She knew that this was Chen Guogong's gaze.
In her previous life and in this life, she has never seen Chen Guogong.
It's just that when I was in the Imperial Garden in my previous life, I saw the back of Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin from afar, and I only remember that it was a middle-aged man with a long body, and nothing else is known.
However, after the second prince succeeded in seizing the throne, it suddenly broke out that Chen Guogong collaborated with the enemy Beiliao.
At that time, the second prince, who had already ascended the throne, ordered Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin to be beheaded.
It is said that Chen Guogong shouted "wronged" in the court, Chen Guogong said,
"Now the minister is a national prince, and he is also the secretary of the military department, with power and prestige, glory and wealth, even if he collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, what can he give to the minister in the bitter cold land over there? The minister did have some corrupt behavior in ordinary times, and the minister was not stupid enough to collude with Beiliao! ”
At that time, when Ji Chen knew about this, he was already imprisoned by Meilin. She said it when she was listening to the guards' chat.
It's just that Chen Guogong has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't care too much.
Now that he thinks about it, Ji Xi feels that Chen Guogong's words have some credibility.
As the saying goes, when a man is about to die, his words are also good.
And according to Chen Guogong's mind, he should also think that the second prince was trying to execute him, and Chen Guogong's defense of himself was to no avail.
It's not that Chen Guogong must have made a big mistake, maybe the second prince at that time was just trying to get rid of a few princes.
However, it is understandable to get rid of the Duke of Qin and the Duke of Liguo, who are holding heavy troops.
It seems that it is somewhat unnecessary to get rid of Chen Guogong, although Chen Guogong is the secretary of the military department, but the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in his hands are very limited.
Even if he was guarding the capital, he couldn't mobilize it.
And the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace is said to be directly under the orders of the emperor, and the queen and Concubine Lu also have some deployment rights.
The other part of the allocation power is in the hands of Princess Herui.
The East Factory and the West Factory also did not listen to Chen Guogong.
It can be said that whether it is Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin bullying men and women, or corrupting the law, it is more convincing than "collaborating with the enemy and treason".
Therefore, it is reasonable that Chen Guogong is unwilling to bear the infamy of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Because to say that he collaborated with the enemy is actually a bit of a high opinion of him.
In addition, if the second prince wants to execute Chen Guogong, there can be many arguments and methods, so why do you have to be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason?
Just like at that time, the crime charged by his second prince was "rebellion" and murder of the saint.
That's because his second prince killed his father and seized the throne, and he needs a scapegoat, and this crime is the most suitable for Ji Chen!
Ji Xi is a palace concubine, her grandfather and father have heavy soldiers, and they have the strength to rebel!
Therefore, after Chen Guogong Chen Shuxin was beheaded for "collaborating with the enemy", many people had such confusion and felt that Chen Guogong would not be stupid.
What's even more bizarre is that after Chen Guogong was beheaded, Chen Guogong's mansion was not raided.
Chen Guogong's wife and several old women in the house were also not affected.
Even Chen Guogong's mansion is still preserved, but Chen Yi inherited the position of Chen Guogong.
"Chen Yi." Ji Chen chewed these words slowly, and suddenly it was as if something was about to break out of the window, but he couldn't find an exit.
It's just that Ji Tao suddenly thought that his cousin didn't discuss it with him in a hurry, so he insisted on going to the well, it must be that his cousin found something!
Well, she has to cooperate with her cousin, since her cousin didn't call someone to drag her up, she will go around on it first to buy time for her cousin!
Chen Guogong and Chen Zhuoxin looked at Guan Jingqiu, Ji Xi and Meilin carefully, swept the expressions of several people, and had a rough conclusion in their hearts.
He had already learned that Guan Jingqiu was the one who harmed people, but was countered by Ji Chen, and then pushed into the well.
It's just that at that time, he felt that the well would not kill people if it fell down.
Moreover, if such a young lady falls, she will definitely shout.
Then, someone will rush over, and those who suffer will be in a hurry to freshen up, and those who take advantage will take it when they see it, and they will leave here quickly.
But I didn't expect that these people sang a big show in front of this well!
Chen Guogong despised Guan Jingqiu very much, since you want to harm people, you have the ability to harm people, and since you are not harmful, you must admit bad luck.
At the same time, she is also very dissatisfied, doing such an outrageous thing in Chen Guogong's Mansion, what is her own Guogong Mansion? Drama garden?
The most annoying thing is that Guan Jingqiu chose such a place?
It's off the beaten track, so who brought this idiot here?
What did she have in mind? It doesn't look like it.
Ji Jun went down to the well, just to appease Guan Jingqiu's anger? Could it be such a coincidence?
However, according to the news he received, before, the sisters of the Ji family were indeed coerced by Guan Jingqiu.
After Guan Jingqiu fell into the well, they quickly left again!
Chen Zhuoxin glanced at Guan Jingqiu coldly, and asked lightly,
"Miss Guan, where is she injured?"
Yangxu County Lord Xianxian Tunnel,
"Brother-in-law, you see that she can point at Miss Ji and yell here, even if she is injured, she can't hurt anywhere!"
Guan Jingqiu didn't dare to get angry when she heard this, her tone lowered unconsciously, and she said bitterly,
"What does the county lord think I have to be badly injured? I fell from such a high place, I am now in pain all over my body, my head hurts, although you look at me and I don't break, but I feel uncomfortable all over my body. Besides, whoever falls down from here, and there is no kung fu, and it doesn't mean that a man with rough skin and thick flesh must be a little hurt, right? ”
The county lord of Yangxu snorted lightly, and his eyes did not look at Guan Jingqiu, but he looked at Chen Guogong and said,
"That's a human saying."
Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin did not respond to the county lord of Yangxu, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips, his voice was cold, and he said softly to Ji Chen,
"Miss Ji, you still don't let your sister come up? If I don't come up again, I'm going to have this well filled. Don't cry and shout for me! ”
