Four Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Tear the Truth
While the courtiers were busy discussing the great court, there was a silent purge in the harem.
Several high-ranking junior supervisors and supervisors were all arrested.
Even Xingqing Palace was not spared.
Zhou Miao hid in the dark cabinet and watched as the Shaofu Prisoner personally led him and captured his godfather, Shangshan Supervisor Hu Jianzheng.
I heard that Hu Jian is one of the leaders behind the kidnappers.
After everyone left, Zhou Miao came out of the dark cabinet.
He's a little guy, and he has nothing to do with kidnapping.
But he is Hu Jianzheng's godson, and he is likely to be implicated.
He has to hurry up, make some connections, and get himself out.
Fortunately, I took tens of thousands of taels of silver from Mrs. Zhao last time.
Zhou Miao was extremely fortunate that he was greedy for money. If it weren't for his greed for money, he wouldn't even be able to get the money for the relationship.
...
Changchun Palace.
Ning Wang was talking with Concubine Xiao Shu.
Concubine Xiao Shu first sighed, "He has served Ben Gong for nearly 30 years. Ben Gong really did not expect that he would be involved with those kidnappers."
King Ning took a bite of the pear, "It's nothing unusual. Those kidnappers have been in business for over a hundred years, and there are no one known in this palace, and they are all traces of them. Thirty years is nothing, the concubine thinks. Open up."
Concubine Xiao Shu's confidant and servant were arrested because they were involved in the kidnapping case.
By this time, Concubine Xiao Shu still couldn't come back to her senses.
An old man of thirty years, not three or five years, but a full thirty years, how can he become a nail that a kidnapper planted in the palace.
Concubine Xiao Shu felt uncomfortable, was betrayed by someone close to her, could it not be uncomfortable?
"Last year, Ben Gong was poisoned, do you think he did it?"
King Ning shook his head, "No. Madam Xue explained that it was done by Fang Shaojian."
Concubine Xiao Shu frowned, "Fang Shaojian is simply a scourge. How could Concubine Xue Gui know so much, but this palace doesn't know anything. Where did she get the news, and are the things she said reliable?"
"It's not reliable,
When you go to jail, you know it all. Mother and concubine, relax, everyone with problems will be cleaned up, and you will be truly clean around you. "
Concubine Xiao Shu shook her head, "I still don't understand, how could Concubine Xue Gui know so much?"
King Ning laughed, and said lightly: "What's so hard to guess. Those kidnappers, who are specifically trying to force the palace to rebel, abolish the emperor's activities, and delusionally want to be the emperor of the underground world.
Xue Guifei was very ambitious and wanted to rebel. The two sides hit it off and began to cooperate. After cooperation, Concubine Xue would naturally send someone to investigate these kidnappers.
Especially the kidnapper left a lot of clues on Concubine Li De. With Concubine Xue Gui's shrewdness, how could she let Concubine Li De be spared. Through the line of Concubine Li, it is only a matter of time before all those who hide the kidnappers behind the scenes are uprooted. "
Concubine Xiao Shu said with emotion: "Ben Gong never imagined that Concubine Li De was actually supported by those kidnappers."
King Ning lowered his voice and whispered, "Even if Concubine Li De was pregnant and gave birth to a little prince, it was the work of those kidnappers."
Concubine Xiao Shu was shocked and immediately scolded King Ning, "You dare to say nonsense like this, be careful that Your Majesty will hammer you to death."
King Ning's words meant that Concubine Li De gave the emperor a green hat.
With the emperor's violent temper, knowing this, it is strange that he can accept it calmly. I am afraid that the palace will be overturned, and a bloody storm will be set off again.
King Ning grinned, without the slightest bit of formality, "I just made a bold guess, but I can't count."
"Don't talk nonsense."
After a pause, Concubine Xiao Shu continued to gossip and asked, "What happened to the child Jiang Shuyi was pregnant with?"
King Ning smiled, "Of course it's not clean."
Concubine Xiao Shu snorted, "Concubine Li De and the little prince are both dead, but it can be said a hundred times. Jiang Shuyi is still alive, and she has made a contribution, but now she is involved in the kidnapping case, she is afraid that her majesty will give her to death."
King Ning said with a smile: "No matter how Concubine Li De and Jiang Shuyi got pregnant, since there are doubts, the royal father will never allow Jiang Shuyi to continue to live. It's just that this matter can't be put on the table, plus Jiang Shuyi deserves credit, and the royal father will execute him. Jiang Shuyi, you have to choose a suitable reason. Otherwise, people will be criticized for being mean and meritorious."
Concubine Xiao Shu smiled coldly, "It's a simple matter. If you order Jiang Shuyi to be buried, you will be able to stop the long speeches."
King Ning said, "But who is willing to be buried? It's a pity to accompany an old man to be buried with you in your youth."
Concubine Xiao Shu gave Ning Wang a stern look, "You can't control your mouth. You dare to say anything."
King Ning laughed, "The son only says this in front of the mother and concubine, and promises not to talk nonsense after going out."
Concubine Xiao Shu sighed, "Isn't the leader behind the kidnapping case caught yet?"
"No. Even Concubine Xue Gui doesn't know who the leader behind the kidnapper is. I hope Jin Wuwei can pry some truth out of the mouths of those young prisoners and inner servants."
King Ning said it lightly, as if he didn't care at all.
Concubine Xiao Shu stared at him, "The courtiers are busy discussing the court, but you can hold your breath."
King Ning laughed, "At this time, doing more is more wrong, doing less is wrong, and not doing it is good. Therefore, the son has time to visit the concubine. At noon, the son will stay in the palace to accompany the concubine for dinner."
Concubine Xiao Shu asked, "What are brothers Liu Zhao and Liu Yi doing recently?"
King Ning said casually, "I have arranged an errand for Liu Yi. Since he is motivated, I can't stop him. As for Liu Zhao, he is busy catching people."
Concubine Xiao Shu looked dissatisfied, "There are Jin Wuwei and Shaofu Prisoners who arrest people. What is he going to mess with? His Majesty asked him to think about writing a review behind closed doors.
King Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry about Liu Zhao, concubine, he is avenging his daughter-in-law. Xiaojiu was kidnapped and imprisoned, and the work of Fang Shaojian is indispensable here.
This eunuch has been making waves in the capital since Empress Cui Ruizhen passed away, relying on the manpower left by Empress Cui in her hands.
Liu Zhao wanted to arrest him, so let him go. As for thinking about writing a review behind closed doors, that's what it means.
Liu Zhao was a meritorious minister. If he hadn't arrived in time with someone and dragged Zhao Wang Xue Guifei, his father would have really died. "
"What's not dead, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty Hong Fu Qitian, how could Zhao Wang Xue Guifei easily kill. Speaking of Xiaojiu, why did Pei suddenly stand up for her and put down the rumors? Pei didn't watch it all the time. Are you not used to Gu Jiu?"
Concubine Xiao Shu is also full of doubts.
It was precisely because she knew that Pei Shi would not let Gu Jiu go, so when the rumors were spreading, she kept silent. I plan to see how Pei Shi handles this matter first.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Pei seemed to be a different person and actually stood up for Gu Jiu.
Speaking of this, King Ning couldn't help laughing.
"It can only be said that Gu Jiu's tactics are very good, and he just used his three-inch tongue to persuade Pei Shi."
King Ning looked triumphant and proud.
Concubine Xiao Shu snorted coldly, "Gu Jiu's reputation has been ruined, so what is she doing to keep her. Not to mention that she is innocent by the death certificate, she should ask herself to go down."
King Ning shook his head again and again, "My son doesn't agree with what the concubine said. Gu Jiu is a lucky boy, how rare it is, how can we divorce her. We don't care about her in Prince Ning's house, and there are many people in the capital who do not care about her. If she is divorced, a matchmaker will be sent tomorrow to propose marriage, do you believe it or not?"
Concubine Xiao Shu sternly said, "She's a woman who shows her face all day, no wonder she has such a thing. When something happened, I didn't see any shame and remorse from her, and the business continued as usual. It's just that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, it's just presumptuous! "
King Ning waved his hand, "She is the daughter-in-law of this king. If this king does not despise her, the mother and concubine should not be picky. Besides, Liu Zhao is too rare for her. Who dares to say that Gu Jiu is not good in person? Liu Zhao I'm going to freak out. If something like that, the mother-in-law will talk about it later."
Concubine Xiao Shu was annoyed, "Dare you, this palace can't control Prince Ning's mansion now, is it?"
Ning Wang smiled, "Mother and concubine cultivate your self-cultivation, don't worry about the affairs of the palace. Some people hate Gu Jiu, but naturally some people like her. You can't expect everyone to like her."
"Ben Gong has to ask what kind of people like her. It's not all men, right?" Concubine Xiao Shu's tone was not good.
King Ning shook his head again and again, "How can it be. The second daughter-in-law likes her very much, and has been helping her talk before."
"You said Ouyang Fu?"
"Exactly."
"Humph! It's ridiculous."
"Absurd or not, this matter has already been turned over. Mother and concubine don't bring it up again in the future. If you have time to care more about the father, I will be angry when I see the father."
"Don't talk nonsense." Concubine Xiao Shu scolded King Ning, "It's not true that Concubine Li De and Jiang Shuyi are pregnant, don't go out and talk nonsense."
King Ning said with a gossip on his face: "How old is the father, and how rare it is to have two young and beautiful concubines pregnant.
In the past, I only thought about my father, the emperor, the dragon and the tiger, and the old age will grow stronger. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that someone has secretly made a trick.
If the father emperor can live another ten or twenty years, the kidnappers are secretly making waves, and maybe the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will really fall into the hands of the little prince. At that time, the surname of Jiangshan in Dazhou is still not Liu, but I can't say for sure. "
Concubine Xiao Shu looked terrified, "These kidnappers are really bold, they dare to manipulate the inheritance of the throne and confuse the blood of the royal family."
"Having been operating in the palace for over a hundred years, you said they were too bold. I hope this time, this group of people can be eradicated, and there will be a bright future."
King Ning said this with sincerity, without the slightest hypocrisy.
