"Bring me two cups of tea." Chen Dong ordered in a low voice.
Tongtong waved his hand, "No need!" The prison is under your control, and the smell of blood is too strong. Han Siyuan's job of supervising the prison has not been removed. However, Chen Dong is usually in charge.
Chen Dong is Guanshi Chen's adopted son, and he was originally a member of Zhuangzi, but he chose him to become a member of the family.
At this moment, Chen Dong followed closely: "Your Highness, this person has a tight mouth. We really have no choice but to use force to open this person's mouth."
Han Siyuan frowned: "You haven't found any origins?"
"Yes! I insist that it was Empress Song who instigated it. But Empress Song has been under our surveillance, and her son was also brought back and sent to her. There is no way to tell the truth from the false, so naturally we can only take it as true.
Not to mention that someone is watching her twelve hours a day. She is still staying well in Anlehou Mansion. There is absolutely no reason why the Lord should not order someone to assassinate His Majesty..."
Yes! There is no such reason.
As he spoke, he entered the innermost part of the prison.
Tongtong followed Han Siyuan to meet the assassin. At this time, the person was tied to a pillar, and his whole body was covered with whip marks. The person's head was hanging down, as if he was asleep! A circle of torches was placed inside.
The light is very bright.
This is a seven-foot tall man!
Tongtong pointed towards the interrogation room, "Put the person down and take him over. And bring a bowl of hot soup!"
Chen Dong responded and got busy!
She and Han Siyuan entered the interrogation hall first. Once inside, Tongtong whispered: "There are rumors outside that the second prince saved Shengjia, but the second prince only sprained his arm... he was stretching his strength..."
Han Siyuan's mind turned quickly: "Fortunately, the assassination had nothing to do with the palace, but someone took advantage of the assassination and tricked the second prince."
That’s it!
Han Siyuan frowned again, "The second prince will not cheat himself, the fifth princess cannot do this, and the sixth one does not have such a string. The eldest brother and the fourth brother followed us to Daliao..." If you can do this,
And who could be the one whose methods are really not clever? Either the fifth prince or Concubine Xiao.
The fifth prince is not stupid, he can't do this kind of thing! Once he does it, suspicion will be raised on Concubine Xiao and him. Why would he do this? There is no one to take the blame.
It can only be Concubine Xiao... who uses the methods of the concubine, which is childish and stupid.
But the palace must have already known about this. The Second Prince suffered a loss, and the Holy One must compensate for it. Only Concubine Xiao, she has tricked herself quite a lot.
No one needs to tell the eldest brother about this matter. The palace is very well-informed. I am afraid that the eldest brother will already know about it by now. Yes! The only lucky thing is that the assassination has no connection with the palace.
The assassin was brought in, shackled, and his hands tied. He was pressed into a chair and locked in an iron chair, unable to move.
After sitting down, the man opened his eyelids. When he saw the two tender-faced people, he sneered: "Don't waste your time, I won't tell you. You can kill or chop them up if you want!"
Tongtong took the hot soup and handed it over, "Drink it! Neither killing nor beheading. I despise them the most for using their own set of punishments on prisoners..."
"Tsk! Baby girl, your mother was still a baby girl when grandpa was in the world."
"Bragging! You're not that old." Lin Yutong good-temperedly pulled up a stool and sat very close to the other party. "If you don't want to confess, you won't. I won't force you to confess... But don't harm Empress Song! She
Although I don't like that woman. In fact, I don't really mind if I can kill her. But if you want to harm her, you should find a reliable way! Think about it, she is doing her job in Anlehou Mansion.
Mrs. Hou, she wants sons to have sons, daughters to have daughters, and she doesn’t care what happens to her children in the future. Anyway, she has never suffered any panic in her life. Such a life-loving woman, you must say that she is instructing you?
Isn't this a joke? No child three feet away from the street believes this argument! Otherwise, you can make up a reason and ask the interrogator to explain to you. Then how do you want to die?
Isn’t it the end of the world for them to send you to death? Hello, I am good to everyone. If you are released as soon as possible, no one will be afraid of losing their job. Only if you give everyone a way to live can everyone give you a good death, isn’t this the truth?”
The other party was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to check?"
"Hey! You know that the assassination will not succeed. Your target has always been Empress Song. Even a fool can see this." Tongtong stared into his eyes as he spoke, "You or you hate Empress Song.
Want to get rid of her! Then why do you hate Empress Song? First, she killed the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Second, she brought shame to the Tang royal family; third, she betrayed the Tang Dynasty. These three points,
Isn’t that enough for you to hate her? Based on this, it can be concluded that you must be loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty..."
The other party's pupils shrank obviously!
Tongtong smiled and said, "Loyal ministers are rare and should be respected. They should not be tortured. Let me guess who you might be."
The other person leaned back and even closed his eyes.
Lin Yutong looked at the opponent's palm and said, "There are calluses in your hands. They are not sharpened by holding a sword. Your hands are a pair of hands holding a hoe. You have been doing farm work all your life... Even if the world is in chaos, you don't have it.
Put down your hoe. Why? Because you have your mission. In the Tang Dynasty... which yamen came out like this?" She approached the other party, "You remind me of the prosecutor's office..."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of the other party's mouth tightened together.
Han Siyuan stood up straight, "What is the prosecutor's office?"
Yes! Many people don't know about this yamen. Taizu's humble background, coupled with the inherent understanding of later generations, seem to think that the spies of the Tang Dynasty did not have a spy agency except for the famous ruthless officials during the Emperor Wu period.
Actually no! The Tang Dynasty had an agency that specialized in inquiring and collecting information, called the Chashi, also known as the Chashi Hall.
"There are countless inspectors in the Office of the Inspectorate. They hide among the people, helping the court to inspect the people's situation and civil affairs, and also monitor the disaster situation in various places, as well as the governance situation of officials at all levels... They may be farmers in the fields, they may be street traders.
The old woman drinking wine may be a charlatan wandering around in the dental shop, or she may be a girl who relies on the door to show off her smile... They spent their whole lives performing their duties to protect the Tang Dynasty..." said
Then he looked at the other person, "You are investigating, right?"
The other party opened his eyes: "There are still people who know how to investigate things now?"
"From the time when the feudal vassal towns were separated in the late Tang Dynasty to now, decades have passed..."
So what, "As long as we don't die, the Tang Dynasty will still be around!"
Yes! As long as those loyal to the Tang Dynasty are still there, the Tang Dynasty will be there.
Tongtong took a few steps back and saluted solemnly, "A strong man is a loyal man. Don't worry, no one will interrogate you again, no one will question you again... Just stay in this prison."
After saying that, he told Chen Dong: "Give him preferential treatment, stop asking questions, and don't allow anyone to interrogate him. How to report it is my business."
yes!
After coming out of it, Tongtong whispered to Han Siyuan: "It's useless! Their reporting methods are all sent directly to the court, and there is no one who leads whom. He just delivers his news according to the route, and whoever receives it on the other end can
It’s not for him to know.”
Han Siyuan understood, "You mean, first, even Empress Song didn't know there were such people; second, there was one person who controlled these people, but the other party couldn't possibly know who this person was; third, these people
The industry is too complicated and there are many people who can do anything, so they are not used to kill people. If you want to use these people to achieve the purpose of murder, you will not be able to achieve it."
Tongtong nodded, then shook his head, "It's true that Queen Song doesn't know about these people, and these people are indeed not very good at killing people, so they can't cause direct harm to us. But it is indeed possible that there is such a person, holding a bunch of
The threads on the thread are quietly being pulled. But this time, the porter was obviously not instigated! Let’s assume that there really is such a person, and he has been pulling the thread. Even if he wanted to move, it would have to be a big move.
Yeah, I risked being exposed, how could I fail? I just want to get rid of Empress Song, but if she is such a patient person, how could she not get rid of her!"
Got it, "Unless this porter was not ordered by someone, it was just a coincidence that he encountered the Holy Lord inspecting the river embankment. He was not prepared at all and decided to act at the last moment."
Yes! That's it. After saying that, he called Chen Dong, "Let all those people working with him go! What they told is the truth. In their eyes, he has indeed been a farmer for thirty years.
Just a farmer."
Chen Dong asked in a low voice: "Then just ignore this case?"
"You still have to pay attention!" Lin Yutong sighed, "These people can't kill, but they are hidden in all walks of life. If someone really activates them... they can only guide public opinion, and they can cause trouble. Tell Manager Chen,
When it comes time to sink people, we must learn from the Tang Dynasty in this regard, and the governance of public sentiment and disaster officials in various places should be within the scope of supervision."
Yes! Chen Dong responded and asked further: "Princess Princess, where can I find relevant records about this investigation?"
Tongtong pondered for a moment: "I have a copy of the miscellaneous notes written by scholars after the Wu Dynasty. I will ask someone to send it to your adoptive father later! During the Kaiyuan period, many scholars recorded various ills of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and some mentioned
The prosecutor's office... shouldn't be hard to find!"
OK! Remember that.
After this delay, it was already too early to come out. The two of them hurried home. Han Siyuan sent Tongtong to the door. When he saw Tongtong entering the door, he took the people back to the house.
Link finished washing up before receiving the report that his daughter was back.
He put on his clothes and came out to wait, "...I left the palace early, why are you back now? Where have you been?"
It's blocked! Tongtong raised his hand and yawned: "I went out to play with my second brother."
It's late at night, where are you going?
"It's late at night, where can we go to play?" Tongtong yawned one after another, "Dad, I'm sleepy, I have to go to sleep first! Don't wake me up tomorrow morning, I want to sleep until I wake up naturally."
Then he ran away with the people.
I couldn't even ask the carriage driver. I used my own carriage when I went out today, but Tongtong must have taken the Han family's carriage when he left the palace.
He was worried, so he sent someone: "Ask Lin Gao to go to the Han family and ask where the prince has gone."
Where can I go?
Han Siyuan replied, "I'm going to see Tongtong off."
"Did you send Tongtong off? Then tell me when your third uncle got home."
Then how do I know?
Han Zongdao was angry: "You kid, there is no truth in your mouth! Tell me, where did you go so late at night?"
"Where can we go? Of course we can go wherever the fun is."
"It's late at night, where else can there be fun?"
"There are only fun places at night!" Han Siyuan walked around the verandah to go back to the courtyard. This made Han Zongdao very angry. Where can there be fun at night? Apart from a place like that, where else can there be?
He called to people: "Take the family law!"
Han Siyuan ran away immediately. Whoever wants to accept the family law will be punished, but I won't! He ran back to the house, took off his clothes, went to bed, and went to sleep.
Han Zongdao called the groom, "Tell me! Where has the prince gone?"
The groom said directly, "I went to the theater."
Yes! The carriage can't stop directly at the prison gate! The theater is opened by Chen Liu, a stronghold in the capital. There is a side door that leads directly to the next door. Go out through the back door of the next door, go through the alley, and arrive at the prison gate.
Therefore, the groom could only tell Han Zongdao that he was going to Qulou.
"Only going to listen to music?"
How did the groom know? "I am going to listen to music with the princess."
And taking Tongtong with me!
What kind of good place can this music building be? It’s not that listening to music is not good, nor that singing and dancing is not good, but it depends on where the music is, and where the singing and dancing are. The ones in the palace are naturally elegant, and the ones played by aristocratic family members in the past
They are all elegant. But in the market, if you want to make business easier, you can't do without those vulgar jokes among the people. How can you take the girl to such a place?
Han Zongdao scolded outside the window: "Why do you take Tongtong with you everywhere? Is this what a brother does? That vulgarity is so vulgar that it is a good thing to ask the girl to learn it..."
Han Siyuan turned his face and continued to sleep. It was unclear who led whom.
Han Zongdao asked outside, "What about you? Did you hear it?"
It annoyed people so much, "I heard it! I heard it! I'll raise a kabuki troupe later and select a few handsome and down-to-earth family members to play elegant music for my sister. It'll be done!"
A white-bearded old piano player is enough to play elegant music, why do you need a handsome husband?
This thing that is not a son of man can make people angry to death.
Han Zongdao thought about it all night and ran to the queen the next day: "Sister-in-law, the children are not young anymore, we can't just be a bachelor!" Seeing that the children's one-year filial piety period has been completed, it is time to consider it.
.
Isn't this what the Queen is worried about now?
She said, "As soon as the filial piety period is over, I will say hello to my sister-in-law and ask her to hold more banquets in a courtyard outside the city and invite many guests. Then I will sneak over and take a look at these children.
It’s time for everyone to go out and socialize with people, and if they meet more often, maybe they’ll meet the right person.”
Han Zongdao was not very optimistic about his son finding a wife by himself, "What does he know about it? My sister-in-law helped me look at this matter. Firstly, I need to understand Dali; secondly, I need to be more powerful and be able to control this kid. As for his appearance,
That doesn’t matter at all.”
Nonsense! You don't care about looks, why did you marry your younger brother and sister in the first place? If it weren't for the beauty of your younger brother and sister, you think Siyuan would have looked like a dog. It can be seen that appearance is the most important thing.
The queen is also worried. Among the princes and princesses, she has no plans for the children born to Concubine Xiao and Concubine Gao. It depends on how the children choose and how their mothers and concubines choose. She is mainly worried about what Ji Shi left behind.
These three.
Shiro and Tongtong... this can be done! The third child doesn't agree? If you don't agree, just grind slowly, don't be in a hurry.
But the marriage between Prince Ping and Shengrong can be very sad.
There are also three children in the eldest princess's family. They are all observing filial piety now, but how can they not worry about their marriage?
Then there is Siyuan, the second child is just a single child, how can this wife not be careful? They really are all together, but where can I find a good girl and a good husband?
With this in mind, he asked Guo Daosheng: "Where is Shiro? Aren't you getting up?"
"I got up and left the palace to see the Fairy Girl."
Well! Just go.
The fourth master had to go outside the city to see his mother, but he temporarily changed his route and came to the Lin family.
Link Yong is at home today, and Tongtong hasn't gotten up yet, so someone from below reported that King Yong is here.
What are you doing here? Link thought of this boy's father, but he really couldn't do anything to turn him away, so he had to say: "Bring him in! What are you doing here so early?"
So, the fourth master was invited in! The decoration of the mansion was quite elegant, and the chrysanthemums were about to bloom. The fourth master walked in leisurely and said, "Third uncle, my nephew is here."
Link took a critical look and found out that his looks were five points, his voice was five points, his lack of vision was ten points, his shamelessness was ten points, his black heart was ten points, and his bad intentions were ten points. The good parts were seriously below the standard, and the bad parts were seriously over the limit.
Jishi is so good, how could such a thing come into being?
He casually pointed to a seat: "Sit!"
Then the fourth master sat down and confessed the purpose of coming here with a sincere face, "I was afraid that my mother would miss her after I left the house. Therefore, my nephew planned to go out of the city to visit Mingcui Mountain."
Link Yong thought of the widow who helped save the world, and his heart softened a little, "That's right! Now that I'm back, I'm free, so I have to visit more often."
Yes! Fourth Master said again, "It was spring when I left. There was a lot of spring rain. I said my joints were a little painful. I don't know if the decoction given by the imperial doctor was effective. It's autumn and the cold has come up again. If it hasn't healed yet
, I’m afraid it will be difficult even in the mountains.”
Ouch! This young man. Link couldn't bear it any longer, "I'll ask Mr. Qingniu to go and have a look with you. If that doesn't work, let's go to the hot spring palace and stay temporarily."
"My nephew thinks so too." The Fourth Master paused as he spoke, "It's just that my mother has a stubborn personality. Nowadays, apart from using the Taoist ugly aunt to help see the doctor, the imperial doctor no longer uses it. I'm afraid that the plum blossoms in the melon field will be exposed! I'm afraid that she will take it with her.
Even if Mr. Qingniu goes, she won't use it."
What kind of old Taoism is there? Who dares to criticize anything? Link Yong thought this, and felt that Liu Nande was really sincere towards Ji Shi, and he inevitably softened a little bit, "How can I do it for those who don't have it?"
Yes, you endure the pain and don’t look at the disease.”
Yes! That's not it! The worry on the fourth master's face can be turned into reality, and then his face shows three parts of sincerity, three parts of surprise, three parts of apology, and one part of anxiety, "So my nephew came to the door because he wanted to
I beg Third Uncle to allow me to take the princess with me! Mr. Qingniu has repeatedly approved of the princess’s medical skills, and I can trust her. My mother will have no worries in taking her there. Even with acupuncture and cupping, my mother has nothing to avoid. Three
Uncle, look, can my nephew take the princess with him?"
Can Lin Keyong say no? Liu Nande is Ji Shi's widow and a former empress. With such a status, Tongtong is asked to see a doctor, and King Yong comes to visit in person. How can he refuse? How can he endure it when he makes her uncomfortable?
You can't do this!
Link Yong could only say dryly: "If you trust her, just take her to show your mother."
Then I watched this boy leave with his daughter: "You can just leave, you two are always secretly hooking your fingers, this is too much..."
