Chapter 32 (6)
Shunzhi couldn't bear to argue with her anymore and said, "Don't speculate. At present, the facts have not yet been ascertained, and Xuan Shuang may not have really done anything heinous. In case there is another misunderstanding, wouldn't it be worth it for us to worry about it here in vain first?" finally calmed her down, and said, "There are still some doubts about this matter. Look at this dress, it's like being soaked in blood and washed again, and anyone who has eyes can see it at a glance. If Xuanshuang really did something wrong, how could he hand over this bloody coat to you? By the way, did he say anything at the time?"
Shen Shiyun didn't show any joy at all, and said: "It's all because the concubine has another matter, and she has never said it to the emperor." Xuan Shuang came back to the Snow Palace, not necessarily because he figured it out. But early this morning, Xiao Xuan found ...... in front of the palace gate He was unconscious. So he hurriedly took it back to the room and invited the doctor. The concubine also changed clean clothes for him with her own hands. When I saw that his underwear was stained with blood, I was really shocked. But seeing his face, he was sleeping peacefully, and he couldn't bear to wake him up and ask him. If the bloody clothes were seen by others in the palace, it would cause gossip and inconvenience, so he hurriedly peeled it off and pressed it to the bottom of the box to hide it quietly. After the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the concubine waited until he recovered as before, and then asked Li Qing's family to report to the emperor. And during that time, he didn't say a word, let alone explain a little. It's hard to be convincing to say that there is nothing suspicious. ”
Shunzhi did not take this matter very seriously, in his old concept, on the contrary, the more he killed, the more he could become his mighty name, but the premise was not to oppose the imperial court. If Jiang Yanchen hadn't been like this, he would have regarded him as a talent a long time ago, and he would not have been wanted by the chaotic party.
However, the Manchurian disciples pay attention to their backgrounds, and if Xuanshuang kills people with low status and no interests behind them, it is not a big disaster, at most, he uses the power of the imperial family to settle it secretly on his behalf. If you talk about dealing with it on the face, you still have to pay attention to it, and you can't be said that the emperor has set up a strict punishment law, but his son has taken the lead in violating it.
As the saying goes: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Once such a scandal appears out of thin air, it will be far away if you want to establish your authority in front of the Han people in the Central Plains. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Yun'er, you can relax, I will send someone to the city to inquire when I return to the palace, and investigate in detail what great murders happened last night and this morning." As long as the other party has no background, ordinary rich people in the city, take a few more money, and they will definitely be able to settle down. Judging from the blood stains on his clothes, it is estimated that the whole family has suffered, and the people have seen it, but they are just unhappy. At a time when the world is in turmoil, it is already all right to be able to protect oneself, and few people will come to meddle in their affairs and force them to ask for an explanation. The people have never fought with the officials, so let's take a more relaxed attitude, find someone to fill up the dead ghosts, and then lose money and silver, and do everything we can, and we don't dare to say anything to them. After all, no one saw that it was Xuanshuang who did it, could it be that if any family had a murder case, the imperial court would have to pull an elder brother to pay for his life? Six years ago, Chen Jiagui was the richest man in the city, and his daughter had a short lawsuit.
The old case of the Chen family, from beginning to end, was originally set up by Shen Shiyun to deal with the Shadow Sacrifice Sect. After that, it was in vain, and it has been gradually forgotten in the past six years, and suddenly heard Shunzhi mention it, and was startled when he came back to his senses, worried that he was accusing himself in a roundabout way, and cautiously tested: "According to what the emperor said, if there is such a murder, it is easier to deal with all the punishments?"
Shunzhi said: "There are two sides to the matter, and the pros and cons depend on how you look at it." For example, if you take human favors as an example, you don't want to see such human tragedies, but from the perspective of handling cases, although the court is at the highest level, it is not without pressure. It is best to end it easily, after all, the door is all gone, there is no proof of death, and no one will keep an eye on it. If only the orphans survive, they will fight for their lives and avenge their grievances, and even if they don't file a complaint, they will go off the beaten path alone, which may become a big scourge in the future. That's why we don't want to see this more than the killers......"
She was emotional, but after a while, she noticed that Shen Shiyun's eyes were full of tears, and her expression was as aggrieved as if she had been beaten with a stick. You deliberately eradicate the Demon Cult, not only to avenge your own family, but also to eliminate a great evil for the world, which is understandable......"
Shen Shiyun wiped his tears, sneered secretly in his heart, and said secretly: "It turns out that this group of officials is dignified on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are fighting ordinary dirty thoughts. After destroying the whole door, no one has come to make trouble again, and there are countless unjust cases one after another, but how can we know who is the sad husband of the deceased? No wonder the bloody case of my Shadowless Villa has caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes, but the government has never officially dealt with it. If I don't take the people's money to make a profit, but I refuse to do things for the people, what kind of official is it worthy? Even when I report a case, I have to use money to get through, and turn the people's enthusiasm for seeking justice into a channel for profit, and I am stupid and confused, and I don't think about self-reflection, so it is no wonder that the last one of them is the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species! If I had not personally dealt with it, how could I have expected the way of officialdom to be so dark? Fortunately, I have found another way and held the power myself...... If you keep waiting for that group of beasts to open your mind, I'm afraid that the Demon Sect will be arrogant for a few hundred more years!"
In order to cover up the crime of killing the people's daughters Chen Xiangxiang and Master Chen, she was eager to send people to slaughter the Chen Mansion, and in the end, she would eventually lead the Demon Sect to an army, and what she used was precisely a few obscurities in the officialdom that she despised her.
There are too many people in the world, who talk about reason and the Tao, but when it comes to themselves, they completely subvert that set of benevolent faces. With a false smile, he said, "No, how dare the concubines blame the emperor?" It's just that when I think of the past experience, I can't help but feel some feelings. The emperor rules the whole world, and with the heart of one man and the heart of tens of millions, how can he satisfy the people of the world at the same time? As your concubine, your concubines should be considerate of your difficulties and do their best to help each other, and it is not appropriate to complain again and make the emperor feel cold. ”
Shunzhi was overjoyed when he saw her magnanimity, and said: "This time it is for our son, we can't push him into the fire pit, only sacrifice a few people, and the left and right people can't be resurrected after death, there is no other way." I promise you that if there are similar cases in the future, they will be dealt with impartially, and that this kind of unjust case will not be allowed to disturb the people again. Shen Shiyun said in his heart: "If you can have one or two times, you can have more times." If this is the nature, it cannot be changed. ”
Shunzhi then said: "Don't talk to anyone about this matter first, and don't ask Xuanshuang." This kid has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, but don't be careless. The bloody clothes had to be destroyed in secret, and when dealing with people in the palace, there must be no truth in the slightest. This is also for the sake of you and Xuanshuang, don't scold me for being too selfish. Shen Shiyun replied in a low voice: "The concubine will take care of it." ”
—————
Xuan Shuang laughed all the way, pulled Prince Fu's sleeve, and shook it vigorously. As soon as he got out of the palace gate, he immediately shook off his hand, and his attitude changed surprisingly quickly. Just like a docile little lamb a moment ago, he is now more alert than a cheetah. With his arms wrapped around his chest, he sneered slightly, and said, "Prince Fu, speaking of which, the little nephew is really sympathetic to you. ”
Prince Fu frowned and said, "Why, I don't know what this king deserves the sympathy of Lord Belle?"
Xuan Shuang said: "Hey, isn't it right? Lord Wang, you are a lot older, and your beard is also long, you should be idle at home and enjoy Qingfu." But you still refuse to give up, and all you think about every day is calculation, and you have exhausted your mental strength. Hey, I've heard that calculating people age the fastest. To come up with a conspiracy, ten wrinkles will grow on your face. No kidding. ”
Prince Fu looked at Xuanshuang, only knowing that he still had use value, and he didn't want to break his face easily. Putting on a cautious and innocent face, he said, "Where did you start with this? Have you forgotten that this king is on the same front as you." If I count you, isn't that the same as counting myself?"
Xuan Shuang said: "Prince Fu really deserves to be a model for everyone! Others are selfish for profit, only you know how to calculate yourself from time to time, so that your credit is not so great, and the emperor does not appreciate you so much." Act outside the box. Okay! Courage!" he gave a thumbs up as he spoke, and his face was full of sincerity. When people suddenly see it, they will inevitably be deceived by his disguise.
Prince Fu is a figure who has been crawling on this road for many years, and his vigilance is a hundred times better than that of others, waiting for him to follow. Xuan Shuang really followed up and said: "Being able to make trade-offs is a prudent talent." Not everyone can do it. I don't blame you, on the contrary, I appreciate your shrewdness. If you don't have excellent concentration and perseverance, you can't persevere. He raised his head and smiled sweetly, indicating that he could understand.
Prince Fu didn't know what he suspected and how much evidence he had, so he walked to the palace gate, bent down and lifted the sedan curtain, and made a "please" gesture. When he got into the sedan chair and sat down, he followed him. Then he ordered loudly: "Get up the sedan chair and go home!" The sedan chair was lifted up in a swaying manner, and Xuan Shuang had not yet woken up, and said: "Lord, you are not confused, are you?
Prince Fu smiled and said: "This king and Ling Belle are allies, so it is even more affectionate, is Belle Ye willing to reward this face?"
Xuan Shuang smiled: "The prince is polite, and now the wood is complete, whether you want it or not." It's like slashing off a prisoner's head and asking him, 'I'm going to kill you, okay?' but it's okay, you don't have to do anything on the other sedan chair. If you calculate it once, you can live for ten or eight more years. ”
Although Prince Fu was calculating everywhere, he really didn't want to play tricks on the sedan chair, so he smiled confidently: "How can that be?"
In fact, Xuan Shuang planned to go to the palace with him, but it was just a matter of time, how could he have the spare time, prepare it in advance? I don't know why, seeing him with a clear smile in his chest, he always felt that it was not a taste, and said: "Ling Beile's intelligence work is really complete, and this king admires it." What did you just say in front of the emperor...... How much do you know?"
Xuan Shuang said: "Oh, do you mean that you are greedy for pleasure? Don't worry, everyone has their own good, you just like to drink a sip of wine, and you don't plan to usurp the position of my emperor Amma, he won't do anything to you." As for His Royal Highness King Cheng, don't blame him, in fact, he didn't say anything to me, he was just worried about your body, father-in-law......" Prince Fu snorted coldly: "Yaohua, this kid, is really too unspeakable. How can you help outsiders and your father...... Ahem...... You don't have to pretend to say these nice things. ”
Xuan Shuang straightened his expression, but there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "If you don't want to hear this, then let's talk about something unpleasant." In front of the emperor Ama, the prince slandered me and persuaded him to change the new edict and make another crown prince, with good intentions. You didn't recruit me, you didn't mess with me, I still can't help but admire you. ”
