Chapter 526: Entrusting each other with important matters
Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly and replied: "Students have indeed not thought about this issue deeply. In the tax money case, the students always thought that Liu County Lieutenant wanted to frame Lin Dalang to embezzle the tax money. As for the assassin in Duanlong Mountain, the students thought it was Haikang County.
The profit gang wants to kill my wife and I in revenge."
"You just like to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand."
Chang Yanjue shook his head angrily: "The tax money case and the assassins at Duanlong Mountain were obviously committed by military personnel. You already know this. Where did the military generals come from from far away from Emperor Shangao in Haikang County?
They are county government officials."
His eyes paused slightly, and Chang Yanjue continued: "As for Wu Enrong, you know that he is the confidant of King Nandu and Yang Runchen's son-in-law, but you still want to take the risk of offending the two of them and pull him down.
Isn’t it to cut off King Nandu’s arm?”
"Students really didn't think it was so complicated at the time."
Chu Nanzhi did not expect that these two people could associate this matter with their suspicion of him.
It seems that these two old men have already realized that they know something about Lin Jinxiao's life experience.
I'm afraid they already know what I told Yin Erlang to buy horses and find out the details of Beijing.
Why does this traitor report everything to his second elder? He is so loyal and still wants to marry his own sister, but there is no way out.
But then I thought about it, Yin Liuxuan was originally on the same camp as the two elders, so he would naturally turn towards them.
Thinking of this, Chu Nanzhi felt much less resentful and said calmly: "To be honest, when I went to Haikang County to handle the case, the student did hear some rumors about the palace coup more than twenty years ago.
I heard that the late prince left his posthumous son living among the people. From the several murders of Zhuo Fu and his rapid promotion, the students even suspected that Zhuo Fu was the posthumous son."
"Your suspicion is correct."
After receiving Chang Yanjue's permission, Nie Huai'an no longer hid it and said bluntly: "Jin Xiao is indeed the posthumous son of Prince Ting'an."
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel shocked after receiving the confirmation from the two elders. He sighed and said: "Why didn't the two elders tell Lin Dalang about this in person, but let the students know?"
"What happened back then was so bloody that there were not many people left alive in the entire East Palace. If Jin Xiao learns about it now, he will inevitably get angry and ruin the overall situation that the Empress Dowager has worked so hard to manage."
Nie Huai'an frowned and explained uneasily: "A while ago, he was able to have a military encounter with his close uncle, King Nandu, because of the Qi family. If he learned that his biological father was killed by his group of imperial uncles, he would wait until he was granted the title.
After the ceremony, I am afraid that the first thing I will do is to lead the army to the capital to investigate the crime, which will just meet the intentions of those people with ulterior motives."
"When Lin Tingshu came to the capital to renew his post, he prayed for the people of Luyan Port. He happened to encounter the changes in the East Palace. He admired the virtuous name of his brother, Prince Ting'an, and did not want to see the only bloodline of Prince Ting'an being slaughtered.
, so he replaced Jin Xiao with his newly born child, so that Jin Xiao survived, but Ting Shu's child was executed instead. His wife could not bear the excitement and died of illness within two years of returning to Luyan Port.
."
Having said this, Chang Yanjue felt extremely ashamed: "If I hadn't acquiesced to this matter back then, their child would be as old as Jin Xiao now."
Staring deeply at Chu Nanzhi, he said with hatred: "This is why the Chen family, Jinhong mother and son have brought trouble to the village for so many years, and I have to do my best to ask the successive county magistrates to forgive them, mother and son, you Mr. Nie
He has never disciplined this family. It is all Lao Cai's fault. He owes Ting Shu and his family a lot.
Tingshu devoted his life to his career and guarded the secrets before he died of illness while in office. Jinhong was his only bloodline, and the old man really couldn't bear to let him die again."
"Mr. Chang, please don't blame yourself. Tingshu understands justice well, and he never regretted his decision that day until his death."
Nie Huaian also said with some pain and relief: "Fortunately, Erlang of the Lin family is not so hopeless that his crime is unforgivable. When the overall situation is settled in the future, if we give him a shield and give him more guidance, he will not be able to return to his sins."
He will be as naughty as he is now."
When the two elders mentioned Lin Jinhong's matter, Chu Nan Zhimo remained silent.
She had already guessed the plot, so she did not jail and convict this bitch again.
"Ms. Chen and her son are just scheming for some money. In a few days, I will ask someone to send some money over to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. As long as they, mother and son, don't come out to make trouble again, the student also told me that he will not do it again."
Make things difficult for them.”
Chu Nanzhi is too lazy to argue with this mindless mother and son now. After all, she is not her mother-in-law, and she has no sworn hatred, so there is no point in venting her anger on them.
Instead of looking at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face.
The two elders are already so old, but to let them worry about such trivial things is really not good enough for students.
Since the second elder told him such a confidential matter, he must not have said it casually. Recalling that they just said they had something to entrust to each other, Chu Nanzhi asked: "The second elder let the students know Lin Dalang's life experience. What do you want the students to know?"
Whatever you want to do, you might as well speak up."
The two elders looked at each other and signaled, and then Nie Huaian said: "We originally thought that the people who wanted to harm Jin Xiao might be King Qinghe and the Tang family, but now that Tang Yao is willing to send his precious daughter to the palace to be a concubine, I'm afraid
It's more or less an attempt to win over, maybe this matter has nothing to do with the Tang family and the Queen Mother."
After a moment of silence, Nie Huaian said in a very deep tone: "Mr. Chang and I suspect that Jin Xiao's life experience has been leaked, which is why there have been these successive assassinations, and the Empress Dowager is also anxious to crown Jin Xiao as the king."
"Could it be that the second elder wants the students to help thoroughly investigate the murderer behind the murder of the stupid husband?"
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
She had actually always cared about this matter, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the moment.
Moreover, she still has no idea who instigated Lin Jinhong to assassinate her.
"Could it be the third uncle of Nandu King?"
Chu Nanzhi boldly guessed.
When he went to Puluo'an that day, Lin Tingyan, the uncle of the Six Emperors, warned him not to embarrass King Nandu too much and wanted him to let Wu Enrong go.
"Not too possible."
Chang Yanjue shook his head sadly: "The King of Nandu and the King of Beibin were both raised by the Queen Mother since they were young. They respected the former Crown Prince very much. When the East Palace incident happened, these two highnesses prayed for the former Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
They were in love, and then they were reprimanded. It was only after the new emperor ascended the throne that he brought them back from the north. For this reason, your uncle, the Third Emperor, won the support of the old ministers of Jinling."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi sneered and said, "But the student sees that the Third Emperor's uncle is not very close to me."
"You are worrying too much about this. The powerful people in the capital have always looked down on the princes of foreign vassals, especially the unpopular clan of Luyanggang, which has been neglected for hundreds of years, not to mention that Jin Xiao was favored by the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty.
If someone is promoted rashly, he will naturally feel resentful."
