Tens of thousands of fry in the fish pond were poisoned to death. Although Lin Jinxiao knew that this was Chu Nanzhi's hard work, but now that he was crowned king and had an official title, he didn't feel very distressed. At worst, he would return from the Donghua River in a while.
Fishermen and fishermen from Haikang County just bought some and replenished it, so they didn't make any announcement.
However, it was rumored that the imperial envoy was assassinated. This was undoubtedly aimed at the couple. It was not a big deal to sow discord between himself and the Tang family, but it was another matter to frame his wife.
Staring at Lin Jinqian coldly, his eyes were full of anger: "Princess Qian should provide evidence if she wants to frame her up. The one who is most dissatisfied with this marriage should be me. Princess, right?"
Do you still suspect that the king ordered someone to assassinate the imperial envoy?"
"I"
Lin Jinqian only felt that this matter was closely related to the couple, but he did not doubt Lin Jinxiao.
No matter how unwilling he was to accept this marriage, he would not commit such a disobedient act.
Tang Ru has been considering what Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao said just now.
Indeed, if Princess Pingning was dissatisfied with the marriage, the wisest thing to do would be to go to the capital to seek help from His Majesty, rather than assassinating an envoy.
It was just that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to overthrow Princess Pingning and fight for the throne for his sister. He also began to complain: "Your Highness, this matter is related to the reputation of our Tang family and Your Highness. It is also related to the majesty of the imperial court. I am an official."
Although there is no evidence to identify the princess as the perpetrator, the princess is indeed the most benefited from preventing the marriage between your two families."
"absurd."
Chang Yanjue was simply unreasonable to the couple: "If it is to sow discord between the Tang family and Prince Pingning, it is hard to say who will be the beneficiary. Princess Pingning is the wife of Prince Pingning, who is currently married.
How could she not know the stakes? You, the Governor of the Tang Dynasty, are the leader of the Duwei Mansion and supervise the three armies of the state. What is your motive for making such baseless accusations against your superior's wife and inciting civil strife?"
"Old Chang, I don't dare to lower my rank."
Tang Ru looked bitter after being refuted by Chang Lao's alarmist words.
He just wanted to bring down Princess Pingning, and he even spoke out about inciting civil strife. This was simply too much for people to be angry and afraid to speak out.
Concubine Yue also saw that it was time to avenge her past humiliation. As long as Princess Pingning was removed, the old man Zhao Guangyuan would not have to return to her side and be at her mercy.
Correcting her posture, she also said solemnly: "It is understandable that Mr. Chang wants to protect his students. However, this matter is extraordinary. Your Majesty must give an explanation to the court. Otherwise, I and all the princes are here
In Luyan Port, there are still rumors that the Imperial Envoy was killed, and it is difficult to give an explanation to His Majesty and the Manchu civil and military officials when we return to the palace."
Chang Yanjue naturally understood the truth. If the person behind the scenes could not be found out, it would not be Chu Nanzhi who would be implicated, but Lin Jinxiao would also be punished.
After all, the imperial envoy was killed in the state, which was also his dereliction of duty.
Staring at the melancholy Chu Nanzhi with deep eyes, Chang Yanjue asked solemnly: "Nan Zhi, are you confident in finding out the person behind this?"
Just like Paul Lin Jinxiao during the tax-bank case, for the current plan, he can only take a chance and buy some time to deal with it, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Chu Nanzhi was also extremely confused. She actually had no idea at all.
So far, she doesn't know the specific situation, and everyone has already started to attack her.
Obviously, this time it was for her.
If the truth is told, it will not only embolden the people behind the scenes, but also make those who are worried about themselves even more worried.
Anyway, in the end, he and Lin Jinxiao were accused, so it would be better to pretend to be calm and confident, and maybe the person behind the scenes who wants to frame him would be exposed.
She looked around at everyone with determination and said with a calm smile: "Actually, an interesting thing happened before this. The ten thousand fish fry I kept in my family's pond were poisoned to death. It was a coincidence.
At this time, the imperial envoy who came to convey the imperial edict was assassinated again, and it was only because of the marriage grant. This is very clear. Someone wanted to deliberately harm me, and it was not to sow discord between me and the Tang family."
"Could it be that my niece-in-law thinks that the people who framed you are the same people?"
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan saw that everyone wanted to embarrass Chu Nanzhi, but he didn't want the woman to be tricked like this right now.
And from her gaze, he seemed to see something hidden in this woman's eyes, and he might have already come to a conclusion.
At this time he wanted to be on her side.
Chu Nanzhi still has no idea what the person behind this is planning.
If it was really to frame him, assassinating the imperial envoy would be enough to make people direct their anger at him, but he would have to go through the trouble of poisoning his own fry.
If they are really the same group of people, it looks more like a vent of personal anger than any deep plan.
But if they are not the same group of people, then it may not be easy to clear the suspicion for himself and Lin Jinxiao, and it will take some effort.
At that time, in order to preserve Lin Jinxiao's future, he would have to take the blame himself.
"I don't want to suffer the loss of being dumb."
Chu Nanzhi muttered to herself, and suddenly an idea occurred to her: Even if these two groups of people were not ordered by one person, I would still have to force them together for him.
No matter how good it is, as long as the murderer of an incident is found, it can be linked together.
Looking at everyone with a calm smile, Chu Nanzhi said in a slow tone: "I have made many enemies while investigating cases for the county these days. It's not surprising that someone wants to frame me. I'll poison him to death."
The fish I raised, if you frame me for instigating the assassination of the imperial envoy, you may have to attack my restaurant next, to make our Liu and Chu families completely fall, your intentions are really cruel."
Although these words were not very convincing, they really angered the Liu and Chu clan members.
Zheng Liu Chengming from Tong'an Village immediately became furious and said: "It's unreasonable that someone dares to attack your niece's fish pond in broad daylight and even assassinate the imperial envoy. It simply doesn't leave a way for people from our two tribes to survive."
The head of the Chu family, Chu Laoqian, couldn't care less about the presence of so many dignitaries. He directly hit the ground with the cane in his hand and said angrily: "People from the Chu family immediately went back to the village to ask whether any suspicious people had been to Nanzhi in the past two days.
fish pond, and then check to see if any new faces have entered the village."
Liu Chengming was also worried that his niece had been framed, so he echoed: "The young men of the Liu family also went back and searched every house to see who had arsenic hidden in them."
"No need to."
Chu Nanzhi was overjoyed. She had no idea who assassinated the imperial court. It was not easy to find out, but it was not difficult to find out who poisoned her fry.
Seeing that the canonization ceremony is coming soon, there is not much time to thoroughly investigate the assassination case. We must first find someone to blame, and then slowly find the person behind the scenes.
Smiling indifferently at Chen Chuan, Chu Nanzhi immediately asked: "Captain Chen, you immediately send people to search various medical clinics in the city to see which medical clinic has sold large quantities of arsenic in the past few days. If
Anyone who dares to cover up will be punished with the serious crime of treason."
"Can you think of the poisoning of the fish fry and the assassination of the imperial envoy?"
Concubine Yue only complained secretly in her heart.
This woman's methods are really powerful. She forcibly connected two things into one thing. Such a serious crime, even if someone really sold arsenic, she would not dare to cover it up.
Isn't this just blatant bullying, easily transferring everyone's resentment towards her elsewhere, it's simply hateful.
