Jing Kui expected that with his status, even if these three people were together, they would not dare to actually search the house and could only go through the motions. The fact was exactly as Jing Kui expected. The soldiers who searched the house only looked around in various courtyards.
Never even entered the house.
Jing Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that nothing would happen. The beautiful concubine who had just been admitted to the house was still waiting on the bed, so he ordered Jing Wenlan, who was standing aside with his body a little stiff, and said, "Look here.
Come on, if nothing happens, wait until they finish searching earlier..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice shouting from a distance, "Sir, something has been discovered here." The direction of the voice was from the courtyard where Jing Wenlan lived.
Jing Kui was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his son, only to see that his face was a little pale, and there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead. He was startled and hurriedly walked towards Jing Wenlan's yard.
There was a faint smell wafting in the night wind. Jing Kui looked a little ugly and walked over quickly. When he reached the door of the yard, he saw a soldier knocking against the wall with the back of an ax. Jing Kui frowned.
He did remember the wall. A few days ago, Jing Wenlan said that the color on the wall was a little faded and a few pieces fell off, and he wanted to repaint it. He agreed, but didn't know about it later.
"What's wrong with this wall?" Jing Kui calmed down, walked over, and asked in a deep voice.
It was Imperial City Fu Yi who turned around and saluted him before saying softly, "There is a smell in this wall, and the color is different from other places."
"So what, the assassin won't hide in the wall! I never allowed it..." Before he could finish speaking, several pieces of plaster suddenly fell from the wall, and the rancid smell suddenly became stronger.
When they got up, everyone looked at the wall and saw that a large piece of the wall had been hollowed out. There was a woman standing inside, with a blue complexion and some spots on her neck. Maybe it was because it was sealed and cut off the air.
, the rot is not very serious, only a faint smell comes out.
The imperial commander frowned and turned to look at Jing Kui, "Isn't this Meng Jieyu in the palace? She hanged herself to death some time ago, and then the body suddenly disappeared. I have been checking for several days, but I didn't expect that the body was actually there.
Hidden here."
Jing Kui turned pale, turned his eyes, but did not see Jing Wenlan, stamped his feet, and then said, "I don't know what happened, I'm afraid someone deliberately framed it, and I don't know how this corpse appeared here.
of."
However, the imperial commander did not seem to listen to what he said, and just said calmly, "How does Prime Minister Jing want to explain it? Let's go to the palace later and talk to the emperor. I just heard that this courtyard belongs to Mr. Jing? Please come in with Mr. Jing."
Let's go to the palace." After saying that, he turned to the Imperial City Mansion Yi and the Imperial City Guards Commander and said, "Everyone in this mansion is watching closely. Now that the truth is unknown, don't let anyone leave the mansion."
The other two people responded, and then the imperial commander turned to Jing Kui and said calmly, "Will Prime Minister Jing leave on his own, or will he be escorted by someone?"
Seeing the arrogance of the imperial commander, Jing Kui grinded his teeth and snorted, "I have to change into official uniform before entering the palace."
The imperial commander did not refuse, nodded lightly, and just followed Jing Kui to his yard. When Jing Kui returned to the house, he saw the beautiful girl who had just entered the house still lying on the bed, with a charming look on his face, "Your Excellency is back?"
However, he suddenly saw the cold-faced man coming in from behind. He quickly screamed and pulled up the quilt to cover his body. Jing Kui snorted and asked someone to help him change into official uniform before entering the palace. Jing Wenlan
He also got into the carriage, looking pale.
Since there were people outside, Jing Kui couldn't have an attack, so he had to stare at Jing Wenlan for a long time, then snorted coldly and turned away.
After entering the palace, Jing Kui and his son were invited into the Qinzheng Palace. However, as soon as they entered, they saw a woman wearing lotus-colored clothes playing chess with Emperor Ning. Manager Zheng stood aside and made a gesture of silence.
Jing Kui's hand quietly clenched into a fist in his sleeve, and his eyes fell lightly on the woman.
After about a cup of tea, the woman smiled softly, her voice was soft and sweet, and she threw the chess pieces in her hand into the chess jar, "No more playing." Chang'er was still thinking about it when she entered the palace just now.
, Father met the assassin, he must have been distracted, but it turned out that Father was much calmer than Chang'er, it was so late, Chang'er came into the palace in the middle of the night to express condolences to Father, and Father didn't give any reward? "
The voice is delicate and pretty.
Emperor Ning laughed loudly when he heard this, "You are a scoundrel, you are cheating when you see that you are about to lose, and you still want to ask for a reward from me? It's more like asking for a beating, that's all. I paid tribute to some big red robes a few days ago. Prince Jing
I really like drinking. I'll take some back to the palace for you."
"It's my father who is accompanied by Chang'er, not the prince. My father is partial and only rewards him but not me." Yun Chang sighed and said quietly, as if with endless grievances.
Emperor Ning laughed again, "Okay, okay, thank you. I haven't rewarded you enough. You are about to move the palace to your palace, and there is nothing to reward you now. I owe it first, and wait until you have it."
Whatever you want, just come to me and ask for it."
"That's good." Yun Shang squinted his eyes, smiled, turned around and saw Jing Kui standing in the hall, with a handsome young man standing next to him. The man was also stunned when he saw Yun Shang, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
There was a hint of surprise, but he quickly put it away.
"Prime Minister Jing is afraid that he knows that your father has met an assassin, so he came to the palace to say hello." Yun Shang said with a chuckle, but had no intention of leaving.
Seeing that Emperor Ning had no intention of blaming him, the imperial commander pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the general found...Meng Jieyu's body in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Emperor Ning paused slightly while holding the chess pieces, without saying anything. He slowly separated the chess pieces on the chess board and slowly put them into the chess jar.
Yun Shang seemed to be surprised, "Meng Jieyu's body? Didn't Meng Jieyu hang herself in the palace? How did the body appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Where was it found?"
The imperial commander carefully glanced at Emperor Ning before responding, "I found it within the wall of Mr. Jing's courtyard."
Emperor Ning nodded lightly, "Have you called someone to do an autopsy? Are you sure it's Meng Jieyu's body?"
The imperial commander hurriedly said, "The general is in a hurry to return to the palace, so he asked Mr. Fu Yi to keep an eye on the corpse and conduct an autopsy. I think it won't take long for the results to be available."
Emperor Ning nodded, "Then just wait." But he didn't ask anyone to give Jing Kui a seat. Jing Kui turned a little pale and said softly, "Your Majesty, someone is wronging me.
I also don’t know how Meng Jieyu’s body appeared in the Prime Minister’s residence.”
Emperor Ning had already put away all the chess pieces, and calmly took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Manager Zheng. He wiped his hands before raising his eyes and said, "Is it unfair or something? There will be a result soon."
After waiting for about half an hour, the commander of the Imperial City Guards walked in and reported softly, "Your Majesty, I have confirmed my identity. The woman was indeed Meng Jieyu, and the attendant who died was pregnant."
I've had it with me for about two months."
Emperor Ning nodded and turned to look at Jing Kui. After looking at Jing Kui for a long time, he said, "After Meng Jieyu died a few days ago, I asked people to clean up the palace where she lived, and some things were found. Manager Zheng,
Bring it over and show it to Prime Minister Jing and Young Master Jing."
Manager Zheng responded quickly, took a plate from the side, and walked to Jing Kui. Jing Kui frowned and flipped through it casually. He saw that there was a letter, a brocade handkerchief, a purse, and actually a letter on the plate.
An unfinished little doll's dress.
Jing Kui said softly, "Why did the emperor show these things to the ministers?"
Emperor Ning chuckled lightly, but his eyes were full of coldness, "Then let Mr. Jing have a look."
Jing Wenlan's body was trembling a little, his eyes fell on the things on the tray, his face turned pale, and his lips were trembling.
Emperor Ning suddenly stopped smiling and said in a cold voice, "Young master Jing is so brave. You dare to write a letter to my Jieyu, saying that you will definitely live up to your love. These things are exquisitely embroidered, but
Everything on it is embroidered with Mr. Jing’s name, so I’m afraid Mr. Jing doesn’t know it.”
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Jing Wenlan's sachet, and she said softly, "Looking at the embroidery skills of this sachet on Mr. Jing's body, it looks a bit like Meng Jieyu's craftsmanship."
Hearing what Yun Shang said, Emperor Ning winked at the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief rushed forward, snatched the sachet and presented it to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning did not accept it, so Yun Shang took it.
He came over, poured out the dried osmanthus inside, turned the sachet over, and saw the word Qinmeng embroidered at the bottom of the sachet.
Jing Wenlan seemed to have lost his footing and took two steps back. His eyes fell on the sachet with a hint of fear.
At this point, Jing Kui gradually came to his senses. He was just afraid that there was an assassin in the palace. This was just an excuse from beginning to end. Today's search was clearly aimed at his Prime Minister's Mansion and at him.
The son comes.
But the person sitting on it was the emperor. Even though Jing Kui was now the prime minister, he did not dare to defend his son at this time.
"Mr. Jing, do you have anything else you want to say?" Emperor Ning frowned and looked at Jing Wenlan with a majestic look.
Cold sweat dripped down Jing Wenlan's face. When his legs went weak, he knelt down and said, "The common people have nothing to say."
The look of condensation on Emperor Ning's face became even more intense, and he raised his voice and said, "Someone, please take Jing Wenlan down and deal with it."
A bit of pain flashed across Jing Kui's face. He was just such a single seedling. If it were to die like this, wouldn't it mean that he would have no descendants? With this in mind, he could no longer care about anything else and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty is doing something this time."
It’s unfair. There are both human and material evidence for Prince Jing’s murder of Prince Yelang. Why didn’t the Emperor punish Prince Jing? Meng Jieyu’s matter is still full of doubts. The Emperor seems to have been too hasty.” (To be continued)
