Chapter Seventy-Five: There Are Many People Who Want You to Die
Shen Qianxue's teeth clenched: "I'm going to let him die, Jiang Heng, don't you want me?" When Shen Xiongfei dies, it's when you and I get married. If you can't find me, do you think you think the emperor can still let you ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five?"
Without the Shen family, the daughter will definitely lose the possibility of competing for the throne. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never killed anyone since he was a child, and he doesn't want to kill anyone. But for the sake of his throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally lowered his head: "Don't worry, no matter what, I won't let Shen Xiongfei live." ”
I haven't been back for many years to see this familiar courtyard. There are also familiar flowers and plants in front of the courtyard and the plane trees that have grown in a circle, Situ Lan feels a lot. While walking forward, he touched the railings on both sides of the corridor, and the little maids cleaning around him were curious to see the two people who walked in.
After the Shen family's mansion was taken back by the emperor, many old people did not leave. Because the old lady told them that the new owner of this mansion was the eldest lady who had been seriously injured that year. But now she is no longer a big lady, but a protector of the country.
There are many people who know Her Royal Highness the princess, but there are very few people who know the lady of the protector. When the eldest lady disappeared suddenly, many maids and servants who followed the eldest lady were almost sold by Guo Lanyue. You can count every finger that can survive.
When Wanqing came over, she saw Shen Qianfeng standing with a lady. Madame's already graceful and luxurious dress brought her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. The little girl immediately ran over, wanting to surprise her wife.
But when Wanqing hadn't come behind the two, Shen Qianfeng suddenly turned around and shouted mischievously: "Sister Wanqing, why do you want to scare my mother?"
Wanqing's footsteps paused, and the force of the body's forward rush could no longer stand. The whole person rushed into the arms of the lady who had just turned around. Instantly, a warm sensation swept over the whole body.
"Aunt Lan, you are Aunt Lan!" Wanqing was really a little happy, and she didn't want to get up in Situ Lan's arms. Situ Lan knew that this was the little girl who grew up with Situ Lan in her mother's year, and she had the intention of making up for it. It's a pity that she has already seen that Wanqing is just an ordinary girl. There is no half trace on the body that can be cultivated.
Situ Lan pushed Wanqing away and observed it carefully, and then sent a message to her daughter: "What do you think of letting Wanqing be Qianyue's wife?"
Shen Qianfeng's face changed, and she immediately replied in a voice: "Mother, don't talk nonsense." This matter is not in a hurry and comes slowly. "As long as the mother doesn't find a concubine for her husband, Shen Qianfeng will agree.
Leaving Situ Lan's warm embrace, although he was a little reluctant, he hurriedly told Situ Lan and Shen Qianfeng. said that Chun Ying got the information yesterday, and went out early in the morning in front of the Shen family to sort out the Shen family.
Shen Qianfeng had a lot of questions, and in the two days since he returned to the Imperial Capital City, Jiang Qi disappeared without moving. It turned out that he had been busy with this matter, and the Xun family's affairs back then may have been received by the Shen Pavilion. It's just that the victim's family doesn't tell it, even if the Divine Pavilion has great ability, it can't be strengthened.
With such a good opportunity this time, according to the concept of the Divine Pavilion, how can the criminals who have been at large for more than ten years get away with it. glanced at his mother and asked in a low voice, "Say, is this case planned by Brother Qi behind his back?"
"That's right, just a few tricks for my future son-in-law. Otherwise, how can you think that old fox of Xun Nanjiang could take the ugly things of his own family and move them to the court to discuss. Situ Yue said as she walked: "Back then, Xun Luan of the Xun family was just an unfavored eldest lady, and no one cared about her life or death. If it weren't for Mrs. Xun's kindness, these two children would have been killed when they were born. ”
The three of them came to the living room and saw that there was no one they were looking for. There were only four or five little maids cleaning, and Wanqing directly stepped forward to smell her mother and Sister Chunying. But the little girl didn't pay attention to her work, and she was scared and cried all of a sudden.
"Wanqing, why is the little girl so fierce to people?"
Yes, what's the difference between my identity and this little girl? Wanqing hurriedly apologized to the little girl: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little sister, I shouldn't have spoken so fiercely to you." ”
The little girl cried even more fiercely, Shen Qianfeng frowned, reached out and touched her forehead, and jumped. Hurriedly ordered: "Fetch a bowl of water!"
Before she finished speaking, the little maid's body weakened and she fainted. Wanqing hurriedly hugged the little maid and shouted twice, but there was no response.
Shen Qianfeng untied the little girl's robe neatly, and saw that the little girl's white and tender arms and shoulders were all red marks that had been beaten by the side.
"You all go down!"
When the maid and the maid heard the order, they all retreated outside, and at this time the little maid with a bowl of water walked in. Seeing the unconscious young ladies, they also jumped, and almost spilled the prepared bowl of water.
Shen Qianfeng's eyes were quick and she stabilized the little maid's tray. Then take out a small bottle from the storage bag and pour the pink powder from the bottle. After entering the water, the powder instantly dissolves in the water. The water in the bowl soon became clearer and clearer.
Retracting the medicine bottle, Shen Qianfeng grabbed the void in the direction of the water bowl. A bowl of water was compressed by spiritual power and twisted into a huge translucent ball. Under the control of Shen Qianfeng's mind, the little girl in Wanqing's arms was wrapped up and slowly floated into the air.
Mingyue and Chunying walked into the living room at this time, and as soon as Mingyue came in, they saw Situ Lan sitting on the main seat with a frosty face. Mingyue glanced at the little girl floating in the air opposite, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "Master, you can come back!"
"Get up!" Situ Lan ordered towards Wanqing: "Go, let Lord Liu Kun get old!"
The matter of the little girl is very serious, how serious is it? To put it simply, the laws of the empire stipulate that the teeth of the slave traders must be filed with the government. There are two main channels for the slaves to be traded, the first channel is the children of the family who have rebelled against the sin, or the maid who once served the official residence. The second is that there is an official certificate for orphans. The third is the person who voluntarily sells himself into slavery and signs a contract, and once the contract time is up, the person can regain his freedom. Xiaohua and Xiaomei belong to this point, and they were sold into the Three Kings' Mansion as maids.
But this limits the development of this industry, so it is absolutely wishful thinking to make a fortune in this area.
Therefore, there are many gangs that secretly abduct children under the age of 15 and buy and sell them as orphans. Crimes in this area have been investigated as the primary case by the government for more than 300 years since the law was in force. There has never been a large-scale trafficking gang, and if it appears, it will be eliminated by the government and the Divine Pavilion as quickly as possible.
This time, there will be a little maid who has been abducted and trafficked to buy the mansion of Mrs. Protector, isn't this a slap in the face of the entire court?
Chunying also jumped: "Madam, how can you be sure that this child was abducted." And then sold here through human teeth?"
Shen Qianfeng, who was sitting on a chair and playing with her fingers, raised her head: "It's very simple, this little girl has traces of whipping and abuse on her body. And he was poisoned, and this poison is the soul is scattered. This dispersion has the effect of suppressing the victim's original memories. Although the effect is not very large, long-term use is still very harmful to the human body. ”
Chunying was also sold like a royal mansion by someone's teeth, and she couldn't remember her mother's appearance in her mind. Since the time when the eldest girl who was promoted to the palace five years ago has often dealt with these things. The matter is out of his own place, and he can't let Mingyue take the blame.
She took the initiative to take responsibility: "Madam, I'll go to the princess this matter." Wanqing is still young after all, and there are some things that the slave and maid are afraid that she will not understand. ”
"Let Wanqing go with you!" Mingyue's face was indulgent, was she still young? she had already gone to the battlefield with her wife when she was so old. Just because she is my Mingyue's daughter, can she be a big lady without experiencing anything?
In the end, Wanqing was forced to go to the yamen of the imperial capital city with Chunying and took a trip.
This morning, he received such a big case, and he was so busy that he didn't have time to go back to eat lunch. I just sent someone to the restaurant to sell what I had eaten, and sent it to the yamen. simply filled his stomach, and was about to tell the official to put away the dishes and chopsticks. The official guarding the door rushed out in a hurry, and was about to speak when he heard the rumbling drums.
This is someone beating the drum of grievances, and someone is coming to sue as the parent official of the imperial capital. Of course, you must sort out your official uniform as soon as possible and prepare for promotion. The official guarding the door stopped his lord and said, "Chun Ying of the Three Princes' Mansion said that she wants you to go to the mansion of the Lady of the Protector." ”
Now in the end, what I want is not to meet any court dignitaries, but my own duty Liu Kun was stiff for the first time, and said back and forth: "Invite Miss Chunying to the living room for tea, and say that I will come after dealing with the complaint." ”
The little servant was also shocked when he heard his adult's words, but he was too soft-spoken. In the end, I obediently went to the living room to explain the situation in the front yard one by one. The official felt that this aunt was definitely going to be mad, but she didn't expect the good-looking girl to say, "It's okay, can you take us to the front to see the ascension?"
Of course, the official nodded, and led the two girls towards the lobby of the yamen.
The halls of the yamen at all levels of the Qingyuan Empire are the most solemn places, whether they are ministers of the imperial court or relatives of the emperor. When you come to the lobby, you have to salute the mirror hanging above the public hall. Respect for the place of the Imperial Law has been demonstrated, so after three drums. Liu Kun walked out of the back hall step by step in the official mansion, and his every move was so serious.
When I was a child, Wanqing also saw the appearance of the county lord ascending to the court. I've never been so excited as I was today, if it weren't for Chunying next to her pulling her, I guess she would have screamed a long time ago.
Chun Ying said in the voice of only two people: "Be quiet, you will be beaten if you affect the trial!"
Wanqing took a leap and closed her mouth directly, and then turned her gaze to the court. The yamen of the imperial capital city rarely opens a court to try cases, and even this drum of injustice will not be sounded once in three and five years.
After Liu Kun sat down, he knocked on the shocking wooden road: "Bring the people who beat the drum and cry out for grievances to the hall!"
Soon, an old man and a young man from the Yamen were brought to court, and the eldest looked at least many years old. When I walked, my body shook and shaky, and it looked like I had some problems with my body a few years ago. When the official saw him like this, he only had to help the old man go to court together. The young one was a woman of twenty or thirty with a woman's headdress, who seemed to have just cried.
After the two knelt down and saluted the adults, Liu Kun really couldn't bear to let the old man kneel and talk, so he ordered: "Come on, move a chair to let the old man sit and talk!"
The officials below immediately complied, and the old man heard that the old man wanted to give him a chair to sit on. knew that this old man must be a clean official, so he knelt down again to thank him. But he was stopped by the servant: "Old man, if you have any grievances, tell us adults!"
After the servant quickly brought a chair, the old man sat down and glanced at his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law who was kneeling on the ground told something that made people angry.
The place where this incident happened was a county town under the imperial capital, called Rongcheng. Rongcheng is a large county in the northernmost part of the imperial capital, with a population of at least more than 500,000 people, and an area the size of two Taoyuan counties. The people here are simple and simple, and the relationship between the county town and the villages and towns is also very friendly. There have been no criminal cases in the past ten years, and such a good place will certainly attract a lot of businessmen.
But just three months ago, I don't know why almost every month there was a loss of Wei Jilu's children for no reason. At first, the people of the yamen dutifully searched for a period of time, but then they were lost in the sea and there was no news. More and more people are reporting the loss of children, and the magistrate of Rongcheng County knows that if this matter is known by the above. The sin of dereliction of duty will definitely be denied his official position.
So I made a guarantee in front of the villagers that I must find the children back as soon as possible. But the next day, the magistrate said that he was sick, and he didn't show up for more than ten days. After asking around, the victim's family learned that the county magistrate was not sick at all. Directly trotted with his old child.
Liu Kun's shocked wood was slammed on the table, and he shouted: "How can this be reasonable! I remember that the magistrate of Rongcheng seems to be Lord Ji Ping." Isn't he the one to run away from things?"
The master, who had already recorded the case on the side, immediately stood up and replied: "The county order of Rongcheng County was changed to a person a year ago. Lord Ji Ping made great achievements in governing Rongcheng County, and was transferred back to the imperial court and became a member of Wenhua Pavilion. ”
"Then who is the magistrate of Rongcheng County now?"
How could the master know the news, Liu Kun was also a little confused. When something so big happens, it's no longer up to you to decide.
