After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

It has been seventeen days since I left the capital.

Chu Chengye and his family dragged their families, boxes and horses, but they only traveled six hundred miles.

It's not that they procrastinate on purpose, it's that they are used to being pampered and pampered in the capital, and once they are exhausted, they will feel a lot of discomfort, and they are not used to eating and lodging.

What's more, Princess Jing Jiang Xintong is still pregnant, which is even more precious.When I felt a little uncomfortable, I stopped to rest. In this way, it would be strange if I could go fast.

Thinking that there are still thousands of miles away from Canghuai County in Jinzhou, even Chu Chengye felt that it would not be possible to arrive in a day or two anyway, so why should Xiaoxing sleep overnight?
Now it is in the territory of Jiazhou, and after another seven or eight days, you will be able to reach the territory of Jinzhou.Jiang Xintong's fetus moved frequently, and Chu Chengye was also a little nervous, so he immediately ordered to rest in place and called the accompanying doctors to get Jiang Xintong's pulse.

Jiang Xintong was agitated, after all, she had never been so tired before, and now she was traveling long distances while pregnant, even if she was sitting in a carriage, how could she be as superior as sitting high and being pampered?

Fortunately, the medicinal materials were fully equipped, and the doctors were all cautious, so they quickly cooked the anti-fetal medicine and waited for Jiang Xintong to drink it.

I can't leave today, this is a small market, and they booked the only inn to stay.

The owner of the inn was both happy and worried about the sudden arrival of such a big customer.

They are just a small place, simple and ordinary, these people are either rich or expensive, can they live well here?
Chu Chengye and the others not only brought doctors, but also cooks, they didn't need the people in this small inn to do anything, what they wanted was just the venue.

Two large ingots of silver were thrown into the hands of the innkeeper, telling him to vacate the place quickly.

With the heavy silver in his hand, the innkeeper was very happy.

In less than half an hour, the entire inn was left to Chu Chengye and the others.The innkeeper also enthusiastically told them where to buy fresh vegetables.

Of course, his kindness was not accepted. Once the door of the entire inn was closed, even if he was the owner of the inn, he was no longer allowed to enter.

Afterwards, Chu Chengye's entourage and maidservants cleaned up and cleaned the entire inn. The original bedding on the bed was thrown away, and expensive brocade was spread on the bed, and soft brocade carpet was spread on the floor.

The entire inn has taken on a new look. Of course, for the nobles in the capital, it is still barely ok to live in.

The innkeeper was shut out, and those who were acquainted with him were both envious and amused, and someone joked: "Wang Laosan, the nobleman hired your inn, and you made a lot of money, right?"

The owner of the inn is happy, he is a small business, and it is an unexpected joy to have three melons and two dates. This time, two ingots of silver are enough to buy his inn.

He said: "Luck, luck!"

Isn't it just luck?In this small place of theirs, it is rare to have any guests at ordinary times, and these guests are simply the God of Wealth.

Under the envious eyes and jokes of the crowd, the innkeeper happily took his family to live in the old house.

No matter how many days these nobles want to stay, he will make money.

After cleaning up irrelevant people, there are only people from King Jing's Mansion in this inn.

The best room is naturally for the master.

Chu Chengye accompanied Jiang Xintong, with a gentle tone: "Let's just stay overnight, and when we get to the place, we can settle down properly!"

Jiang Xintong smiled softly, but there was no smile in her eyes, she knew that Chu Chengye was comforting her.

They hurriedly invited themselves to the feudal domain. The feudal land was temporarily granted by the emperor. There was no king's palace there, and there was no preparation for the king's mansion in advance.

Settlement, easier said than done?
However, when they really got to the place, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. With those [-] food towns, at least for the time being, they would not have to live in fear.

A maidservant came to help Jiang Xintong to sleep, and Chu Chengye went to the next room.

They also need to discuss some related matters after arriving in the feudal land.

For example, the first batch of people from Prince Jing's Mansion had already rushed to Canghuai County, Jinzhou.

Those people will build a temporary palace first, so that when the masters arrive, they will have a place to settle down.

Even the second group of people has already gone there and is about to arrive.

The man who went to the feudal land was a prince, not an ordinary imperial court official, and there must be some pomp and ostentation.At least let the local people know that they are no longer under the control of the court, but are households that respect the king.

Chu Chengye was not satisfied with the current situation, but when he thought of Chu Yuncheng, he was not unwilling.

After all, he is the cook of King Jing's Mansion, the food he cooks is delicious even across the room.

The surrounding residents smelled the aroma of the food and imagined the life of the nobles, both curious and envious.Some people wanted to poke their heads to have a look, but they were chased away by the guards guarding the door.

That day, people in the market were talking about the nobles from the capital.

The small market is much more lively because of this.

The next day, no one came out from the inn.

Is it possible that these noble people think this small market is also good, and want to stay for a few more days?
But even the buyers didn't come out, don't they need to eat?

On the third day, no one came out from the inn.

Now, the surrounding residents feel that something is wrong.

The nobles wouldn't leave at night, would they?There is no curfew in a small place, and no one will stop people coming and going.

Someone called the innkeeper: "Your inn, why don't you go and see it?"

The innkeeper thought of the two ingots of silver, and said, "What are you looking at? The nobleman has booked the inn, not to mention three days, but it doesn't matter if you stay for ten or eight days."

"That being said, aren't they from other places? If there is something you want to know, why don't you ask?"

When the innkeeper heard it, it was true, maybe he had asked here, and the nobleman was happy, and rewarded him with some money.

That is a nobleman in the capital, just leave a little between his fingers, it will be enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

Instigated by the neighbors, the innkeeper went to push the door.

The door opened slightly.

Under the gaze of many eyes, the innkeeper said cautiously: "Guest? Guest?"

Waiting for him to walk in, there was no movement inside.

The neighbors looked at each other in blank dismay, the nobles were quite talkative, they were expelled when they approached, but the innkeeper was unimpeded when he approached.

This time, the innkeeper will definitely get a lot of rewards again.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the inn.Then, there was the figure of the innkeeper rolling and crawling, with a pale face.

His pupils were constricted, and his whole body seemed to have been greatly frightened. He screamed shrill and terrified, and spoke incoherently: "There are dead people, dead people, dead people, many dead people..."

All the neighbors were shocked, the information revealed by these few words was too shocking.

You boldly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dead, dead, all dead..." the innkeeper murmured with straightened eyes, his eyes were out of focus, obviously frightened.

The neighbors looked at each other, how could this be?
There are quite a few of those nobles. I am afraid that if there are not three or forty people, will so many people die?How did you die?How can a good person die?
That is a nobleman in the capital.

Those who are daring go in together to see.

In the courtyard, there were people lying all over the place, and they recognized that they were the nobleman's guards.

There were also maids and women, some fell on the ground, some by the door, and some inside the house.

They didn't dare to look any more, so they ran out quickly, and someone shouted: "Report to the officer, report to the officer!"

If so many people died, it must be reported to the government, and the government will decide.

Such a big event happened in the small bazaar, and the whole bazaar exploded.

People from the government came very quickly. They were shocked when they heard that the nobleman from the capital, Tu Jing, died in a small market.

The county magistrate came in person and brought a full class of yamen servants.

When he learned that the nobleman from the capital was the emperor's eldest son, His Highness King Jing, and his family, the county magistrate was almost paralyzed with fright.

If something like this happened under his rule, the prince died here, and his life was in danger!

Wu Zuo conducted an autopsy and found that everyone died of poisoning.In the kitchen, there was still food to be found. In those foods, the silver needles went in, and when they were pulled out, they were all black.

Who poisoned it?

Everyone died of poisoning symptoms, which seemed to be clear at a glance, but it was unusual.

The neighbors and innkeepers were all arrested together.

If the murderer cannot be found, they are the closest to the murderer, because they are close.

The innkeeper probably never dreamed that he would get rich, and two ingots of silver would allow him to double the size of the inn.

But in a blink of an eye, he became a prisoner.

It is true that success is also noble, and failure is also noble.

Those neighbors were even more wronged. They just lived close, and neither received money nor benefits. But now, they were arrested together as murderers.

The county magistrate actually knew that these people were probably innocent, but what could he do?
The prince died here, and if he didn't catch more scapegoats, the head on his neck would be lost.

Even if you catch it, you may not be able to keep it.

The situation here is even more quickly sent back to the capital by flying horses.

In the capital, the Ministry of Rituals is preparing for the ceremony for the canonization of the prince, and it is very busy. At this time, the news that the King Jing and his family members who went to the domain all died on the road, shocked the government and the public.

The emperor's complexion was extremely bad. Since he let Chu Chengye go to the imperial court, he naturally didn't plan to do anything else, but they still died.

Chu Chengye's concubine was still pregnant with the emperor's grandson, and she also died twice.

He said: "call Lao Jiu into the palace."

Eunuch Liu immediately sent someone to go.

After giving his orders, he returned to the emperor.

The emperor's face was heavy, and he said abruptly: "Da Zhu, who do you think attacked King Jing's family?"

Eunuch Liu was taken aback, he didn't dare to say that nonsense, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Jing is precious, maybe it's because the climate is not acclimated..."

"He is dissatisfied, his princess and side concubine are dissatisfied, but what about those maids? What about the guards? Are they also dissatisfied?"

Eunuch Liu dared not say anything.

Even a fool knows it's abnormal, but does he dare to say it?

There was endless coldness in the emperor's cloudy old eyes.

The corpses of King Jing's family will be transported to Beijing.The suspected murderers in the market will be escorted to Beijing, but the emperor is very clear that those people will not be the real murderers.

The real behind-the-scenes people are not in the small market at all, but in the capital.

King Jing has already gone to the feudal clan, and it doesn't matter to anyone, he was still driven out. Even though from the beginning, the emperor only regarded King Jing and King Ding as pawns, they were still father and son after all.

Chu Chaoyang entered the palace soon.

He said: "Father, do you have an order to summon your son and minister?"

The emperor looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

With Chu Chaoyang's bored and apprehensive eyes, he said slowly: "Your elder brother's family died of poisoning on the way to Fan!"

"What?" Chu Chaoyang turned pale with shock, he was stunned, and then shook his head: "No, it's impossible, brother and his party have followers, and someone is testing poison, how could he be poisoned and die?"

The youngest son's reaction made the emperor calm down a little.

He originally thought it was Chu Chaoyang who did it.

He was also worried that the youngest son he intended to train would do anything to achieve his goal, but judging by his performance, it was obvious that he didn't know it either.

He sighed, and gave Chu Chaoyang the booklet handed over by the county magistrate, and said in a tired and weak voice, "When your elder brother was in the capital, he had an interest with you, and I don't care what the fight between you brothers is like." But he has already left Beijing, even if he withdrew from the struggle of interests, something like this happened. My son, as a prince, died in a foreign land!"

Chu Chaoyang said categorically: "Royal father, there is no conflict of interest between my son and elder brother. My son has always respected the elder brother in my heart. The elder brother is a vassal, and my son even went to see him off. Our brothers The two chatted very happily. The minister also made an appointment with the big emperor brother. When he returns to the capital in response to the imperial edict next time, we brothers will have a drink. But who knows, the big emperor brother will suffer such a disaster. This matter must be thoroughly investigated , Brother Da Huang’s family can’t die in vain!”

The emperor looked a little tired again, and the whole person looked a little old. Looking at him, his eyes were heavy: "Who do you think did it?"

Chu Chaoyang looked sad, and said firmly, "I don't know, but no matter who it is, I will investigate to the end!"

The emperor said: "Then I will leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, Father!"

Chu Chaoyang bid farewell and left.

The emperor looked at his back, stood up, and put his hands behind his back.

Except for Chu Chengyou, his son was lost for the first time.

Even for Chu Chengyu and Chu Yuncheng, they either went to guard the imperial tomb or were imprisoned.

He has many sons, but he doesn't want his son to die with his own blood.

However, Chu Chengye died in a foreign land.

If I had known this, it would be better not to let him go to Fan. Although he would become a stumbling block for Yang Er if he stayed, if he stayed in the capital, he might not die!

The current emperor is a poor old man who lost his son, and an ordinary father who sends a white-haired man to a black-haired man.

He said: "Dazhu!"

Eunuch Liu has always kept himself as a transparent person, and now he hastily responded, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Chaoyang is young, and the incident happened outside the capital. Tomorrow he will investigate, but I want the truth, so you can find out the real truth for me!"

Eunuch Liu said: "Yes!"

The emperor sent him out not only for the truth, but also to find out who was behind the scenes.

Eunuch Liu, the real confidant who has been by the emperor's side when he hid in the residence, is the one who understands the emperor's thoughts best.

He decided to take a trip himself.
