The Golden Bough and the Dog vs 84
As for the maid of Qiao Guifei, she was sent out of the imperial mausoleum from the cliff by Yanxia as early as last night.
Liu Tao sighed in a low voice: "I shouldn't have promised Concubine Qiao...... White-eyed wolf! ”
"She is already dying, and if she doesn't agree to her, is she really allowed to poke out the things that Niang Niang has left?"
Rue Xiang said, "Don't you know how much the old eunuch wants to humiliate the mother?" If he knew about it, with or without evidence, he would report it to the palace. ”
A few members of the Tang family will regain the attention of the imperial court, so they only need to investigate in Beijing with great fanfare, and there will always be people who remember Tang Xian's appearance and confirm that she has indeed gone out.
Plus the twins are now in the capital......
Disobeyed the emperor's order and entered Beijing privately, a few members of the Tang family, two maids and Tang Xian could die together cleanly.
Luck was almost exposed, and Meng Siqing was not to be charged with rebellion, and he had to add a few members of his Meng family.
No matter how serious it is, I am afraid that Qiao Guifei will talk nonsense and identify all the innocent people in the imperial tomb as Tang Xian's comrades.
"Then knock her out and lock her up." Liu Tao came up with an idea with hatred.
"Locked up?" Rue Xiang still disagrees with this point of view, "Only the old eunuch Kang has the right to detain others in the imperial tomb, and if the Qiao Guifei disappears, he will order people to search for it, and sooner or later he will be able to find it." ”
"Isn't it?" Yanxia echoed, "If you want me to say, it's better to kill people directly." ”
She has at least five means to create the illusion that the overseas Chinese concubine died of suicide, such as stabbing her throat with a hairpin, hanging herself, drowning in the lake, and so on, as well as being stoned to death by a falling stone, being scared to death by the haunting of the imperial tomb, and other accidents.
Qiao Guifei's threat made Tang Xian miss a good opportunity to get out, and several people were indignant, and you whispered one by one.
Tang Xian participated, "Don't kill her, just let her never speak." ”
"It's as simple as cutting out your tongue." Yanxia patted her chest and promised, "I'm good at this, and I will go down with a knife to ensure that she can become completely dumb." But she still has hands, she can write, and she can still betray us. ”
Tang Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "Then cut off her hands together!" ”
"Yes, anyway, when she made a mistake in dancing in the tomb, she should have been executed by the old eunuch Kang. We saved her life, and she should be grateful to us. ”
The two of them gave the best solution, but neither of the two maids spoke.
Like the overseas Chinese concubines, they were bound to the imperial mausoleum for many years, and their fates were similar, and everyone could become the next overseas Chinese concubines.
No one wants to lose their hands and become dumb.
The bunch of methods that came up with to deal with Qiao Guifei not only did not make people feel refreshed, but they felt even more sad.
In the midst of depression, Tang Xian smiled and said softly: "Look, there are many ways to solve it, but we can't do it...... Otherwise, wouldn't we all be crazy? ”
The maid was still sullen.
Tang Xian thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, from another angle, things are not that bad. At the beginning, I advised the overseas Chinese concubine to wait, and someone would intercede to let her leave the imperial mausoleum. She didn't believe me. Now that I'm her, I believe in myself. ”
"'Tang Xian' is dead, and now that the imperial tomb is full of innocent people, it is easier for the emperor to pardon him, and as long as someone in the court opens his mouth to intercede, the 'Qiao Guifei' can regain her freedom."
"The result is the same, I can still go out, but a little later than planned, and I have to worry about my little brother and sister for a while."
In Liu Tao's memory, the twins were still children about the same age as Yun Yuan, and she muttered, "They should blame you to death!" ”
"Then complain, it's better to be blamed than to die with dozens of people."
Unable to seal the mouth of Qiao Guifei, he couldn't kill her ruthlessly, so he could only send her out of the imperial mausoleum first.
Pretending to be Tang Xian's identity to deceive the monarch is a capital crime.
Concubine Qiao has been freed, and she does not want the Qiao family and the Tang family to be destroyed, so she has to keep this matter to heart.
But Tang Xian was indeed worried about the twins, her eyes were lowered, she was comforting herself, and she was also talking to the maid, "They are clever, they may not be able to react for a while, but they will be able to think clearly later." ”
After these few words were spoken, the atmosphere was a little lighter.
Liu Tao looked forward a few times, saw that the guards were already arranging for people to get into the carriage, and muttered: "Let's deal with this situation in the palace first, I don't know what I have to do when I return to the palace." ”
"Maybe it's going back to confess your relatives." Tang Xian said, "My current identity is not as good as the queen mother, but I am also an imperial concubine, and there is no charge of rebellion on my body, and the emperor must not respect me?" ”
She was just funny, and several people couldn't help laughing, and Yanxia laughed exceptionally happily.
Seeing that several people were looking at her, she held back a smile, coughed twice, and said, "You master and servant three can really see it." ”
"Look at what you said, can you not see it?" Rue Xiang said, "I really can't see it, in the years before I met you, we didn't know anything about the outside, and we should have all gone crazy like Qiao Guifei a long time ago!" ”
"That's right." Yanxia nodded.
"What about you?" Tang Xian was also very curious about her, "Why do you have to take the risk of accompanying me into the palace?" The palace is no better than the imperial mausoleum, and it is difficult to get out after entering. ”
"I ......," Yanxia smiled, "I'm playful." ”
.
Half a month later, Yun stopped and returned to Beijing.
He has been out for so long, first solved the turmoil in Qingzhou, saw the people struggling in the disaster with his own eyes, and dealt with several local officials.
After Lu Qin and others brought the disaster under control, Yun stopped patrolling all the way back to the capital along the state capital that had been hit by the torrential rain.
He went straight to the palace and learned in detail about the situation in central Beijing and the disasters in various places during his absence, and then changed the local officials who should be replaced and degraded.
After two days of such busyness, he went to Dongfushan to personally inspect Tang Xian's grave before returning to Fuzhong.
Zhuang Lian, Ming Li, and Lin Beishu pleaded guilty together.
"Not necessarily." Yun Zhu said lightly, "Her identity is there, if you don't do everything possible to return to the Imperial Mausoleum, the whole family will die, and you can't stop it." ”
Only after learning Tang Xian's true identity did he understand what Tang Xian meant when she said, "If you were me, maybe you would be more cautious than me."
Indeed, if he were Tang Xian, he would only be more rigorous.
Yun Zhu's calm attitude caused several people below to look at each other.
In recent times, Zhuang Lian has suspected several times that his father-in-law will leave everything behind and return to Beijing to look for him after receiving the news of Tang Xian's fake death and disappearance.
Not only did he not return, but he also personally inspected the disaster situation and rectified the magistrates along the way, and even after returning to Beijing, the first thing he cared about was the affairs of his family and country.
This made Zhuang Lian relieved and sad.
I couldn't help but wonder if my father-in-law was dizzy.
Zhuang Lian himself was so angry that he said that he didn't care, but in fact he sent people to secretly search the capital for a few days.
It's a pity that I don't know where Tang Xian hid.
Zhuang Lian also truthfully reported the matter, and said: "It was Meng Siqing who was in charge of the funeral, and it is said that he was accompanied by other officials throughout the whole process...... But that's such a coincidence...... Son, will you take him and Bai Xiangxiang for interrogation? ”
"I can't ask." Cloud stop road.
Tang Xian faked her death to get out, and someone must have assisted her, the biggest suspects are Meng Siqing, who is in charge of the funeral, and Bai Xiangxiang.
Among them, Meng Siqing has an innocent background, there are good reasons to explain his behavior, and there are enough witnesses to prove his innocence.
As for Bai Xiangxiang......
Looking back now, Lou Qianhe and Bai Xiangxiang were undoubtedly the first to recognize Tang Xian, the former is still unconscious and does not mention it, and the latter knows that Yun Zhu is a member of the royal family, but still chooses to help Tang Xian conceal it, which shows that the friendship is extraordinary.
Zhuang Lian asked Bai Xiangxiang, and she firmly said that she didn't know where "Shuang'er" had gone.
Bringing her in for torture may reveal something.
But after doing so, how did Yun Zhu face Tang Xian?
"You don't have to meddle in this." The cloud stops itself with an idea.
Tang Xian fled from the palace in order to return to the imperial mausoleum, and returned to the imperial mausoleum in order to fake his death and escape, and the fundamental purpose was to restore his freedom.
After regaining freedom, there is no doubt that he will go to find his parents and relatives.
On the day Yun stopped learning Tang Xian's identity, he ordered someone to check her entire family clearly.
The third order he issued that day was to find out where Tang Xian's parents and siblings were, and to bring them to Beijing.
I don't know if it's an excuse, Tang's mother is seriously ill and has been delayed for several days, and she has not yet arrived.
Nanling has never seen Tang Xian's figure.
The person who dug Tang Xian out of the coffin must be her most trusted person, Yanxia?
Why didn't you take her back to Southridge?
Where can you hide her?
Yun stopped pondering, and after letting everyone retreat, he gathered what he had heard from a few people, and after thinking about it, he found a breakthrough.
In the middle of Lanqin Zhai, Yun Yuan has been thinking about his brother during the day and Tang Xian at night, and he has been bored in the house alone, unhappy all day long.
Seeing Yun Zhu, he said a few words with tears in his eyes, and urged him to find Tang Xian.
Yun stopped and said: "Tell me first, when you went to Maomao's house that day, you passed by a tea shed and knocked Lin Beishu out. ”
"It's a little sister." Yun Yuan remembered this incident vividly, and repeated, "It's Maomao's little sister, and there is a little brother, and they are together." ”
Yun Zhu: "Did you hear it with your own ears?" ”
Yun Yuan nodded heavily, "I heard it, they called Sister Maomao, and Maomao still hugged them and wiped the mud on their faces!" Ignore me! ”
Yun stopped and said, this is interesting.
The guards he sent to Nanling to ask for people said that the Tang family's mother was seriously ill and it was inconvenient to travel far away, and a pair of children were waiting for the sick in front of the sickbed.
Yun Yuan saw the twins of the Tang family with his own eyes in the capital.
Yun Yuan won't lie to him, that is, the parents of the Tang family in Nanling are cheating.
Thinking back to Tang Xian's fake death, she was able to succeed, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and there must be a master behind her.
…… The Tang couple are really not to be underestimated.
On the other hand, since the twins are in the capital, then, Tang Xian is very likely to be with them.
How did they quickly find the exact location of Tang Xian's grave?
Again, the problem lies with the person in charge of the funeral.
The twins have an internal response in the capital.
Chapter 69: Cats
"Brother, go pick up Maomao and come back!" Yun Yuan was urging again, she remembered the things that should be remembered very clearly, and pulled Yun to stop, "I want to avenge Mao Mao!" Those people bullied Maomao! ”
