As soon as they finished speaking, they heard the delicate voice that belonged to Han Yan. When they looked up, they saw Wen Ruyan holding Han Yan and walking towards them; just as Guarjia said, that girl
As soon as she saw the grapes, her eyes lit up and she stared at them without blinking. Her greedy look made Ling Ruo laugh. She signed a peeled grape and put it to her mouth. This girl was not polite at all and was busy.
open
He opened his mouth that already had seven or eight small teeth and bit down hard, biting off half of the grape at once. Then he started to purse his small mouth with satisfaction. After crushing the half of the grape and swallowing it, he opened his mouth again to ask for more.
, if the feeding was late, he would drag people around with his little hands open, and the anxious look was really cute. It wasn't until after eating four or five grapes that he let out a small burp.
After Wen Ruyan handed her over to the wet nurse to play with, she sat down to talk to Ling Ruo and the others. Naturally, the topic couldn't be separated from what happened last night. Not long after, Li Wei came in and saluted everyone one by one.
Later he said: "Master, I want to inquire about the previous few
On that day, a man who called himself Wang Twelve came to seek refuge with Tong Fujin. He said he was Tong Fujin's cousin and wanted to find a job in Beijing. The day he entered the palace was exactly the day we found Xiao Er next to Tong Fujin in Dongling Pavilion.
The days when I stared at Dongling Pavilion with Liu'er."
What a coincidence? Ling Ruo paused and said, "Where are the Twelve Kings?"
Li Wei replied: "After leaving the palace, Wang Twelve never showed up again. The strangest thing is that Tong Fujin did not indicate where he was working."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo and the others didn't understand why Wang Twelve was most likely the Eighth Prince's person who came under the alias, otherwise he would have come all the way to join the Tong Jia family, and Ken might have left without any work.
!
"Master, do you want the Mao brothers to continue to find Wang Twelve outside?" Li Wei asked in a low voice. After the Mao brothers returned to Beijing, although Ling Ruo had never met them in person, he communicated with them through Li Wei
They provided various financial support, especially in terms of money, which allowed them to establish several connections in the capital in a short period of time. Although they were all just ordinary people, they were also quite useful.
Ling Ruo thought about it and said: "Since he used a pseudonym, he just doesn't want us to find him. Besides, it's so late, so don't bother. Instead of doing this, it would be better to keep an eye on Tong Jia. If the eighth prince
If you really hold her hand, you will never let it go. Sooner or later there will be a second time, just wait."
Wen Ruyan's eyes flashed and she nodded: "It's good to wait and see, but with Tong Jia's cunningness, she may not be fooled. In fact, whether she is wrong or not does not depend on us or what she did, but on Fourth Master
No matter what her attitude is, that face is always her biggest talisman."
Hearing this, Tong Jia didn't say anything. Indeed, that face that looked exactly like Nalan Meier not only made Tong Jia stand out, but also gave her an unparalleled amulet.
"Maybe." Ling Ruo flicked her nails like green onions and said, "But I also know a little bit about the prince's temperament. He is too suspicious to tolerate a grain of sand. What's more, it is such a big matter of colluding with Eighth Prince.
Once the doubts are resolved, it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened, let’s just watch.”
Ling Ruo was right. After what happened last night, Yinzhen did have doubts about Tong Jia. After all, those were Yinxiang's words. There was no one whom Yinzhen trusted the most in his life.
What Ling Ruo could find out, Yinzhen could also find out, and with the huge connections in his hands, he could find out more thoroughly than Ling Ruo. He even found out Wang Mo's true identity, and only Yin Zhen could find out.
The reason that Xu used to threaten the Tong Jia family is not yet clear, but it was all done in secret. Except for a few people closest to Yinzhen, everyone else was kept in the dark, including Ling Ruo.
As for the Tong Jia family, Mingshou secretly left the mansion and went to Yinzhen's mansion. He learned everything that happened outside the mansion at that time, and even knew that Yinzhen shot Zheng Chunhua with his own hands.
After knowing all this, she had been uneasy, fearing that Yinzhen would ask her about the Zheng family. However, after waiting for a long time, Yinzhen did not ask, and his love for her remained the same as before, and he did not treat her poorly.
In addition, when Kangxi learned about what happened that night, Long Yan was furious. He scolded Yinzhen and Yinxiang, fined them half a year's salary, and ordered them to go to the clan's mansion to receive ten canes each.
As for the cause of the conflict, both of them were sensible and did not mention Zheng Chunhua. They only speculated that it was due to the accumulation of previous quarrels and that they did such ridiculous things in the spur of the moment.
Although Shuntian Prefecture Yin saw the scene at that time, he was far away, and he did not know Zheng Chunhua. Although he knew that there was a woman among them, he did not know her identity at all, so he was able to let Yinzhen and the others get away with it.
But whether it was a matter of muddle through, or whether Kangxi deliberately let them off the hook, it is unclear. In short, Zheng Chunhua has completely become a dead man, while Yinreng is still the prince of the prison country, living in Yuqing Palace.
More than a month has passed like this, and summer has come to an end. The leaves have begun to turn yellow, and green or yellow leaves can often be seen falling from the trees, reminding everyone that autumn has begun unknowingly.
One day in early August, Tong Jia was talking to Chen Gege, who had been introduced to her house during the last draft. Xiaoer came in with a letter, but said it was a letter from outside. Tong Jia took it casually, but did not
Take it apart, a pair of beautiful eyes
The child swiped at Chen Gege's face. Chen Gege is also a smart man. When he saw this scene, he immediately stood up and bowed and said softly: "I have been harassing Fujin for so long. It's time for me to resign. I will change tomorrow."
Come and say hello to Fujin again."
Tong Jia didn't hold back, and politely ordered Huamei to send her out. After Huamei turned around, Tong Jia just opened the letter that she had been holding for a while, and her face changed slightly at just one glance. After reading it all,
Mrs. Tong Jia slapped the letter on the table with anger on her face.
Huamei and Xiaoer looked at each other, wondering why their master was so angry, until they saw the flying ink characters on the letter, which was a family letter, and the signature below was clearly the eighth prince Yinsu. As for the content of the letter,
That is to say, the Ministry of Punishment received an anonymous report a few days ago about a case in which someone secretly replaced officials who were sentenced to death or had committed serious crimes, or were corrupt and perverted the law, with civilians who were imprisoned for minor crimes and had no money and power to die.
Because before the execution of a death row prisoner, there will be a special person to verify the identity to avoid mistakes. How can he die on behalf of others? Moreover, if there is such a thing, the person who was killed for no reason should also cry out for injustice in public. How can he wait quietly for death?
.
I thought this was just nonsense, until Kangxi left the palace incognito, and happened to be executing at Caishikou, and he met a man whom Kangxi had met before. Kangxi had an excellent memory, and he still remembered his last name even after some time.
Zhang, but the wooden sign stuck behind his neck had another word written on it, which was obviously not the right name.
