Chapter 156 Far away in the horizon, yet so close in front of you
"Wait a minute!" the old lady said angrily, with an expression that would make you look good if you dare to move.
Tao Qiqi didn't take it seriously and gave an order, "Do it and tie them up. I will bear all the consequences."
"You bear it, can you bear it? Do you know who I am?" The old lady thought she could save the situation, and looked at Tao Qiqi with a self-righteous look.
Tao Qiqi twitched the corner of her mouth, looked at Mrs. Tu, and only uttered one word: "Tie!!"
"Lixia, take action!"
This time Tao Qiqi didn't let the housekeeper take action. This person was afraid of tigers and wolves. It was a waste of time.
If they delay any longer, they won't have time to evacuate.
After Lixia received Tao Qiqi's order, he immediately stepped forward and tied the county magistrate's wife and Mrs. Tu to the pillars in front of the government office.
Mrs. Tu saw that Tao Qiqi was serious and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I served the eldest princess back then. Even though the late emperor has passed away now, the eldest princess back then was the late emperor's most beloved sister."
"If you touch me, you are disrespecting the eldest princess."
"Disrespect to the eldest princess is a serious crime of beheading."
"If you want to survive, I advise you to let us go."
"Wait a minute."
Hearing this, Tao Qiqi suddenly raised her hand to signal Li Xia to stop.
When Li Xia stopped, Mrs. Tu thought it was what she said that made Tao Qiqi scared.
He immediately said proudly: "Now that I know I'm scared, why not hurry up and let go. Before I get really angry, hurry up."
Tao Qiqi looked at Mrs. Tu and was not in a hurry to untie her. Instead, she asked: "Eldest princess? Which eldest princess is she? But the one who married her daughter to General Han who was old enough to be her father.
Bit?
Is her daughter called Zhao Xi'er or Zhao Yu'er? And the eldest princess you mentioned is called Nangong Delan, Princess Delan?"
Mrs. Tu replied proudly: "Yes, it's her."
Hearing the other party's answer, Tao Qiqi suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha... I have searched countless times for him, and it took no effort at all to find him."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Tu looked confused.
Mrs. Tu was the maid of Princess Delan back then. Master Tu came to Beijing to take the exam, and she fell in love with him. She didn't know what trick she used, but she ended up marrying Master Tu, who already had a wife.
And with the support of Princess Delan, although she was a concubine after marriage, she lived a more prosperous life than the main wife.
First, he caused an accident and killed the principal wife's son. Finally, the principal wife died in depression because she lost her son and could not get the understanding and care of her husband.
And this concubine suddenly became the main wife.
However, Master Tu also passed away due to physical illness a few years ago.
After Master Tu passed away, the Tu family was no longer in a good mood, and the family situation deteriorated even further.
Later, Mrs. Tu took her whole family and left the north.
Tao Qiqi originally didn't know about this. After all, she was just a commoner before, and she didn't have time to listen to the gossip because of the people in the Tao family.
However, ever since Zhao Xi'er learned that the mother of the second prince, King Jinyang, was related to what happened to her mother, she began to send people to investigate what happened that year.
The mother of King Jinyang and Princess Delan, the mother of Zhao Xier, are good sisters.
It was Princess Delan's help that allowed King Jinyang's mother to marry the late emperor.
Just starting the investigation from the Queen Mother of Jinyang, Tao Qiqi did not get any useful information.
The only person who might have any useful information is now dead.
So Tao Qiqi set her sights on Princess Delan.
Originally, she simply thought that since they were good sisters, she would definitely know a lot about some things.
Otherwise, Zhao Xi'er would not have known that King Jinyang's mother was related to her mother's accident.
No, I won’t know if I don’t investigate. I’ll be shocked if I investigate.
It turns out that Princess Delan also liked General Gu Bei back then.
It's just that in the eyes of General Gu Bei, there is only Qi Mei.
General Gu Bei was unwilling to marry Qi Mei even after losing her. He even resigned and took Qi Mei's parents back to the countryside.
Directly cut off Princess Teresa's thoughts.
Later, Princess Delan was married to a minister named Zhao at the discretion of the late emperor.
From now on, no one is allowed to talk about this matter.
Based on this clue, Tao Qiqi began to suspect that what happened that year was definitely not a coincidence, and perhaps Princess Delan was the real mastermind.
However, after investigation, it was discovered that there were no clues pointing to her doing it.
Of course, General Gu Bei also suspected her back then, and then secretly investigated her, and the results obtained were the same as those investigated by Tao Qiqi.
Later, General Gu Bei accepted the fact of the accident and took Qi Mei's parents to retire and return home.
But Tao Qiqi was unwilling to accept this unexpected fact.
Her sixth sense told her that the easier it was, the bigger problem it was.
So she asked her people to continue investigating further.
From the family situation of the two of them to the maids around them and the servants in the family, they all were carefully investigated.
I can't believe the clues that are useless even if I turn them upside down.
No, after careful investigation, all the problems came out.
King Jinyang’s mother also had an older brother that no one knew about.
And her brother was the second in command of the gang of bandits who killed her mother.
Of course, these cannot mean that it was done by Princess Delan, let alone the Queen Mother of Jinyang.
In order to obtain evidence, Tao Qiqi continued to investigate. A few days ago, she received news that the second boss had met a woman before taking action.
And that woman was Princess Teresa's former maid, but she had already married away.
When they investigated the eldest maid, they found that she and her whole family had left the north, and no one knew where they had gone.
The clue ends here again.
However, Tao Qiqi has not given up, and her people are still patrolling around to find out the whereabouts of this maid.
She even thought that even if the maid could not be found or the maid was already dead, Tao Qiqi would kill herself in front of Princess Delan after her mother returned to Jiangdu to meet her bride.
I just didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
Unexpectedly, the person they were looking for was now far away and right in front of them.
After Tao Qiqi confirmed Mrs. Tu's identity, she felt indescribably happy.
Looking at Mrs. Tu, he did not answer her doubts, but said slowly: "Tie up this woman and her son, and take the old woman and Magistrate Tu away. I still have use for these two people."
"What do you want to do? Let me go. Let me go." Mrs. Tu saw that although Tao Qiqi did not intend to tie her up, she was not afraid because of her identity, and she was not ready to let herself go.
Even in response to her roar, Tao Qiqi ignored her.
After Tao Qiqi ordered people to tie up her daughter-in-law and grandson, she and her son left the county government office.
