The imperial troops rode through the long street, heading towards the Wang family.
Zheng Yuanniang put down the car curtain and tightened her cloak. The eldest prince said: "No one will search your house. If you have any old things, please call someone to pick them up. I will send you to Mingcui Mountain outside the city first."
You and Fairy Xiande will live with you for a while."
Fairy Xiande? Zheng Yuanniang was stunned for a moment, then accepted the arrangement. Then she remembered something and said hurriedly: "There is nothing important in my house. What needs to be taken has been brought out."
Once I stepped out of the door, I never thought about going back.
The eldest prince did not ask any more questions, and just said to the outside world, "Go and report the news to the prince. It is a place where the Wang family has no taboos."
"A place without taboos?" Han Siyuan asked the housekeeper at home, "Where does the wife of the Zheng family live?"
The housekeeper hurriedly took him there, and Han Siyuan went in to check it in person. He opened the box and found Wang Yirong huddled inside an almost empty box.
Wang Yirong's face was full of fear, and he looked at Han Siyuan timidly: "...I don't know anything! I really don't know anything! Prince Han, doesn't the court not implicate innocent people?"
"When we are sure that you are really innocent, we will not implicate you." Han Siyuan waved his hand, and two female jailers stepped forward and brought Wang Yirong out.
Han Ye came again and asked, "What should I do about the paralyzed man?"
"Keep it...do you want him to starve to death?" Han Siyuan said, "Take it away!"
As a result, even the second son of the Wang family was taken away.
Either that or the capital is changing very fast today! The news about the royal family is coming one after another. The news is all over the world in the morning. It is said that there are a few things about the future eldest princess. Before breakfast is finished, I heard that Yulang of the Lin family is
Went to play Cuju. Many girls and women said they had eaten, dressed up, and then went to see Yulang of the Lin family. As a result, the carriages had all gone out, and I heard that there was something even more lively, that was the princess of the Lin family.
I ran to file a complaint. Those who hurried slowly could not catch up with the warm one. Those who were far away did not make it to the place. The case was temporarily over. Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. There is still so much in it.
What a big secret!
This gossip spread instantly!
Some people say that the girl from the Zheng family is pitiful, but who knew there was this hidden behind her.
It is said that the daughter of the Zheng family is lucky. After encountering so many unlucky things, she was still selected as the eldest princess. What a blessing!
Others said that it was lucky that she was chosen as the eldest princess by mistake, otherwise, she would never have survived! The old lady of the Wang family was afraid that she had some leverage. If she had to leave, she would most likely die.
These are all things that everyone can discuss, but there are also things that we would never dare to say.
For example, some people say that if this old lady had known that the girl from the Zheng family could be selected as the eldest prince's concubine, she would have taught her well and raised her well. When the time came to marry into the royal family, she would have been a killer.
! Just like Ms. Song, she taught her stepdaughter to protect her at every turn! If she instigated her stepdaughter to commit murder, that silly girl would probably be really brave.
Some people think this way, and others may think: Could it be that the girl from the Zheng family is smarter and the child from the Wu family is too stupid?
Anyway, when something goes wrong, there are all kinds of noises.
Shi Jian heard about it at the Cuju venue. In just a blink of an eye, why did the princess... find trouble again? He hurried over and told the prince, "... He said he is a descendant of Gao Pian...
...intention of revenge..."
Gao Pian’s descendant? Fourth Master thought to himself, it’s a shame how she dug it out.
He raised his eyes and looked at Link Yong who was playing well. Lin Kuan had already stopped and came over to talk. It was obvious that he had received the news. He then stood up and planned to join Link Yong.
Link still had a flamboyant smile on his face, but when he blinked, the smile froze on his face.
Revenge? And it has been hidden in the northwest for so many years.
So I dare to ask, is this old woman the only one who wants revenge?
He stopped smiling and suddenly became serious. He waved his hand towards Fan Liu and said, "I'll play with you another day. I'll leave first."
When the fourth master accompanied Link Yong to leave, who knew that the door was blocked tightly. There was also a woman who boldly shouted: "Yulang!"
Link turned his face and saw that she looked familiar. Wasn't this the girl who followed him wherever he went? Back then, he was too shy to look at her, but now she is so unrestrained and enthusiastic. She combed her hair like a woman.
Her hair was plump in a bun, and with strong makeup on her face, she shouted to him excitedly, holding her purse in her hand, and threw it towards him blankly.
Lin Kuan saw that the purse was a little heavy, so he quickly took it. It was really heavy in his hand. It hit his head and it didn't bloom!
When he was looking at what was in the purse, the other women probably felt that Yulang was finally willing to accept the purse, so they took the purse out of their sleeves and threw it away.
Not to mention that Lin Kuan was overwhelmed, even Shi Jian took a lot of them. But the question is, what is this?
So heavy?
The fourth master had no choice but to ask the guards to clear a narrow path outside, so that horses could barely pass through.
But isn’t it true that the more impatient you are, the harder it will be to get through it?
However, in the palace, Emperor Wen Zhao quietly came to the prison with Han Zongdao. Han Zongdao was still wondering why he was standing in this narrow passage, but before he had time to ask, he heard a familiar female voice over there, who was it if it wasn't Tongtong?
He looked at the Holy Emperor in astonishment. Emperor Wen Zhao only said "hiss" and opened the hidden grid.
From this angle, we can clearly see the situation inside. Inside, Tongtong is sitting behind a desk. There are two people dressed as scribes preparing records. The one who is locked in the interrogation chair should be the Wang Ji based on his age.
.
That's right, it's Wang Ji.
Tongtong asked: "Master Wang, do you know why I didn't interrogate your mother first, but you first?"
Wang Ji begged, "Princess, I really don't know...my mother has such thoughts. I know that my mother is guilty of death, but I...is willing to die for my mother...please forgive me, Princess."
.”
"Filial piety is commendable!" Lin Yutong said, "The Holy Lord governs the country with virtue, filial piety, and law. If you have intentions and deeds, it depends on whether it causes bad consequences... Therefore, not everyone in the Wang family must die."
Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, then wiped the tears from his face, "Is what the princess said true?"
really!
Wang Ji then said: "Princess, I dare not deceive you. I really don't know that my mother has this intention."
"Did you know that your maternal grandfather was Gao Pian?"
"I know!" Wang Ji said: "Behind the Buddhist niche at home, the tablets of my grandfather and the others are enshrined."
Tongtong looked at Han Siyuan. Han Siyuan called for someone. The man opened a package and found a pile of tablets inside. These were collected from the Wang family today.
Tongtong said, "Master Wang, are these?"
Yes! That’s it.
Tongtong laughed and said, "You know your maternal grandfather was Gao Pian! And everyone in the world knows that Beiyi Gong killed Gao Pian and destroyed the Gao family? Don't tell me about this, you don't know."
"I know! I know." Wang nodded in confusion, "I have always known."
"You know, then you have been working as an official in the northwest... why?" Lin Yutong looked at him, "This way, it is more thrilling? More exciting? More interesting? You are not afraid of that thing being discovered. In the northwest, you
I don’t know how he died. I thought that since the northwest is close to Daliao, spies must be checked most carefully. The resumes of all officials in the northwest have been strictly screened. Don’t say that you need to be inspected to become an official.
Three generations of resumes are just to take the exam to become a scholar, but don’t you also need to have three generations of innocence?”
Han Siyuan raised his hand and handed Tongtong a resume. Tongtong took it in her hand and said, "This is from the personnel department. I haven't had time to look through it yet." She put the thing in her hand on the table and pressed it on it.
The subordinate then said, "The time since the founding of the country has been too short. There was a period of time in the court where people were allowed to be recruited from various places, and you were raised by the Lin family in the northwest. If you think that your grandfather is
How can I pass Jianba if I write about Gao Pian's affairs?"
"Yes! I... also have to support my family! At that time, it was my mother who took care of this matter..."
"Your mother went to apply for it? You didn't know about it at the time, how could you not know about it later! You just told me how you forged your resume. Is it so difficult to explain clearly? According to the abbreviation procedure, who do you say you are?
This cannot be counted, someone must prove who you are. So, who gave you the proof?"
"The descendants of the Guo family of the Anxi Army!" Wang Ji said hurriedly, "This is the proof given by the descendants of the Guo family of the Anxi Army in the Tang Dynasty."
Lin Yutong sighed in her heart. The Anxi Army was the army stationed in Anxi. After the Tang Dynasty lost contact with the Tang Dynasty, it could still guard the army for fifty years. She asked, "The one stationed in Anxi is Guo Ziyi's nephew."
My son, Guo Xin, before Guo Xin, it was Gao Xianzhi who was stationed in Anxi?"
yes!
"Gao Xianzhi followed his father from Goguryeo to Anxi since he was a child! In other words, in your resume, your mother is a descendant of Gao Xianzhi, and her ancestors are from Goguryeo."
yes!
"Beiyi Gong thought of the Anxi army's loyalty, reorganized some and disbanded some. These people have been rooted in Anxi for so many years, counting them several generations. Gao Xianzhi grew up in Anxi and stayed in Anxi for most of his life. It is Guo
After Xin took over, he returned to the Central Plains. After that, no one can tell how many descendants Gao Xianzhi has and what descendants he has, right?"
Yes! Wang Ji said, "It was true that... we were living in a difficult situation at that time, and we couldn't carry it with our shoulders and hands. We really had no choice, so..."
Tongtong laughed, "It sounds reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it! But how big is Anxi? Do you really think I have never been out and seen the world? Huh? Such a place is such a coincidence that you just happen to be able to
You met Zheng Lin'an. Zheng Lin'an's ancestor happened to be related to the Gao family. It happened that Zheng Lin'an was very capable. At the age when your sister should get married, you just happened to meet and married your sister to him! Mang Mangren
Hai, all the coincidences have happened to you? How could it be such a coincidence? These coincidences can only explain one thing, that is, there is a network in the northwest, and you are just one of them. Otherwise, your mother and Zheng Linan are different generations apart.
As for my son, how could she have seen Zheng Linan and recognize him as soon as they met? As a housewife with limited contact with people, how could she know that Zheng Linan has skills and can be used? Someone must have provided the information to you
I think that Zheng Lin'an will not tell anyone who his ancestor is and what his ancestor did. Now that there is no Tang Dynasty, and there is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, wouldn't it be good to make new achievements in a new place?
What else can you put on your forehead?" She leaned back and said, "There must be someone who is directing your every move. Including this time the imperial court recruits officials from all over the country, if you can enter the capital, it's all behind your back.
Someone has arranged it. You dare to keep a girl from the Zheng family. In fact... it has shown that you don't care much about the contract you signed back then. You are not afraid of this contract! Why? First, you don't care too much about a little girl.
, I don’t think she can make a big splash! Secondly, you think you have a backer. Then can I be sure that this person’s status must not be low, and his power must not be small, right?”
Wang Ji slowly raised his head and looked at Tongtong in surprise, "Princess Princess is really..." He sighed and smiled bitterly, "Yes! I have been listening to my mother's arrangements, and I also know that there must be something behind this.
Something is wrong! But I also know that if I don’t ask anything, even if something happens, I can’t bear to be implicated. Therefore, I really don’t ask anything and just pretend that I don’t know anything. What did my mother say?
That's what... this is my way to protect myself! As for my mother, the only thing I know is that in Yinzhou, my mother goes to the Ganlu Temple in the city to pray for blessings every fifteenth day, almost without interruption for so many years."
Lin Yutong then opened the other person's resume and then closed it again. What this guy said was basically true! She asked, "What about after entering the capital, where will she go to worship Buddha?"
"Lingquan Temple in the city."
Han Siyuan threw a sign to the deputy general, "Lead people to seal off Lingquan Temple, and no one is allowed to escape. I want to ask who has been to Lingquan Temple or left Lingquan Temple today."
yes!
Lin Yutong reminded again, "Have someone go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check and see who is responsible for recruiting officials from the northwest!"
Understand! Maybe it was his own ability that made him pass the exam. But... maybe it wasn't!
Han Siyuan went off in a hurry, Tongtong waved, and Wang Ji was taken down.
Tongtong was about to take the next person with him when he suddenly remembered something. That day, the Chrysanthemum Banquet reported: "... there is a girl named Wang, who is said to be the niece of the Lord of Yiyun County, coming from the northwest.
My father is a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, and I would like to pay my respects to the princess."
What did I ask when I saw Wang Yirong? I asked, "I don't know when Mr. Wang was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue."
Qing Ya obviously said that he was a member of the Ministry of Rites, but he asked when he was transferred to the Ministry of Husbandry. How could he have the impression that this person was from the Ministry of Husbandry? Wang Yirong did not refute at that time, which proved that he did not
Misremembered.
She looked through this person's resume and found that he had indeed been admitted to the Ministry of Etiquette at that time. Now his resume is also from the Ministry of Rites, and he was indeed a Yuanwailang.
But why do I think this person is still in the household department?
If he is in the household department, why is it not on his resume?
Lin Yutong shouted: "Bring Wang Ji back!"
Emperor Wen Zhao, who was about to leave on the other side, stopped again and looked through the small hole.
Seeing that Tongtong didn't wait for the escort to sit down again, he asked, "Are you seconded to the Ministry of Household Affairs? Or are you helping someone in the Ministry of Household Affairs in private?"
Wang Ji hesitated for a moment and then said: "I am... planning the position of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Lin Yutong's face suddenly turned ugly. She remembered what she said that day: Qian'er went to see the county boss, but she didn't hear her say that someone from her family had come to the capital. When was Mr. Wang transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs?
I don't know, it's really rude.
How did Wang Yirong come back? She said: My father was transferred to the capital last spring... My aunt likes peace and quiet, so she rarely disturbs her.
When I said this at the time, I just wanted to say not to use the name of Yiyun County Lord to build relationships outside. The County Lord has never mentioned you in front of me.
But now I think about it, Wang Ji is just planning to go to Hu Bu, why would I connect Wang Ji and Hu Bu together?
Wang Yirong's answer was when her father was transferred to the capital, but she did not say whether it was from the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Household Affairs.
There is something that I have neglected. The county owner... my aunt...
The county lord has always been miserable. After Link recovered, the county lord chose to make peace with him. The county lord has worked hard in the Lin family these years without any merit. The county lord...has always been honest and responsible, and never caused trouble for others.
. Even the county lord is surrounded by members of the Lin family.
Therefore, the county head... has always been a member of the Lin family, but they have forgotten that her surname is actually Wang, and she is also from the northwest!
Tongtong closed her eyes hard and said, "Bring Wang Ji down and bring Wang Yirong over."
yes!
Wang Yirong was brought in tremblingly. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and said, "Princess, I really don't know anything..."
Lin Yutong knelt down and held her chin, "I asked you that day when your father was transferred back to the Ministry of Revenue. Why did you avoid answering and only said when your father was transferred back to the capital..."
"My father is not in the household department..."
"It's best to be honest! I don't have the patience right now. I said it wrong when I said the Ministry of Accounts. You didn't correct it, but you avoided the topic. If you insist on clinging to it, you can't even make me forget the official position.
Isn't it strange? What's more, you are officials in the northwest, and you just sent a message to ask for help, but my father is nowhere to be seen, wouldn't you pay attention to the old department? From this point of view, you deliberately avoid it, it must not be without reason. "
Wang Yirong swallowed hard, "I said... I said... That day, I wanted to steal my grandmother's chrysanthemum hairpin. I happened to hear my grandmother and father talking in the Buddhist hall. Grandma said... Grandma said...
…It’s an errand for the Ministry of Household Affairs, so it should be soon... I thought the princess knew about my father’s plan to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.”
Lin Yutong suddenly gave up and waved his hand to ask someone to take Wang Yirong down.
As soon as they left, the clerk took the record and was about to hand it over to the princess for her signature. When she turned around, she saw a very scary expression on her face. When she was about to ask, she saw the princess knocking the teacup on the table fiercely.
Throw it to the ground, then turn around and walk away!
Han Zongdao, who was hiding behind his back, looked at Emperor Wen Zhao, "Who is she thinking of?" Who is she thinking of?
Tongtong jumped on the horse and rode away.
With such an expression, Qingya didn't dare to ask, she just looked at Liu Yun and followed closely behind.
When they stopped, they realized that the princess had stopped in front of the Yiyun County Lord's Mansion.
Why did you suddenly come to the County Lord's Mansion?
The two of them dismounted before asking, but the princess had already knocked on the door herself.
The gatekeepers were all servants of the Lin family. When they saw the princess, they quickly got out of the way and said, "You're here!"
Lin Yutong went inside, and there were greetings all the way. Tongtong went straight into the courtyard. Aunt Yun was talking to the girl in the courtyard. When she saw Tongtong, she smiled: "Princess, you are saying that you have gone to solve the case again! It's still the Wang family.
case."
Tongtong asked, "Where is aunt?"
Aunt Yun pointed inside, "I'm taking a nap, I'll go report it!"
Need not!
Lin Yutong bypassed Grandma Yun and pushed the door directly in. Yiyun County Lord did not take a nap. There was a charcoal basin in the main hall with a lot of burning ashes of paper. She stood up and smiled at Tongtong: "Here you go.
