Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

Chapter 416 The Death of Concubine Shu
Jiang Baoyu was stunned for a while, and said to himself: "It turns out that the chief manager of Tianyi discovered Guo Heng's bad habits that day, so he dealt with him so cruelly. There is one more thing that I have never understood."

As she spoke, she looked at Shui Hanzhou and asked, "The Queen's poisoning was clearly caused by Mrs. Zhao. That Concubine Shu——no, it should be Mrs. Webster now. Mrs. Zhao discovered Mrs. Webster's possession of manjusri in private at the time." , so that he was accused of poisoning the empress, why didn't she refute it?"

"That's because she really asked someone to poison the empress."

Jiang Baoyu was taken aback when he heard the words, feeling a little unbelievable.

I heard Shui Hanzhou continue to say: "When the empress fainted, the emperor ordered me to assist in the investigation of the poisoning of the empress. Mr. Lin had already told me in private that it was not the only person who poisoned the empress, and a group of people were also in the empress's clothes I made an article on it, and coincidentally, it also uses Manjusri."

Jiang Baoyu was even more amazed, subconsciously blurted out: "Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

"Of course not, because the manjusri in Webster's hand was given by Zhao."

Shui Hanzhou then told Jiang Baoyu the news Anzhu got when he interrogated Wei Shi that day.

After Jiang Baoyu was taken away by Shui Hanzhou that day, An Zhu stayed behind to interrogate Wei Shi, at first Wei Shi killed him and said nothing, but it was An Zhu who used Wei Shi to achieve his goal, and Wei Shi was sold. He also told Webster about the counting of money.

Webster was filled with grief and indignation, so he told the whole truth.

One day, Mrs. Zhao invited her to enjoy the flowers, and she went as scheduled, and accidentally saw some unknown flowers and plants. When she was about to take a closer look, Mrs. Zhao was very annoyed, and immediately called someone to shovel them down.

Webster was surprised and asked why, but Zhao was vague and said that this flower is not very serious, it likes to hook up with men, it makes people dream about it, and I don't know which wild bird brought the seeds to take root in Xihua Palace up.

After hearing this, Webster was very moved. He said that he liked the appearance of the flower and wanted to take it back to appreciate, so he stopped the palace servants and asked Zhao for it.

Mrs. Zhao was not willing at first, but it was because Webster was really difficult to deal with, so she reluctantly agreed, and when she came to the end, she also reminded her thousands of times, saying that the whole plant of this flower is not serious, and it must not be inhaled or smelled. Otherwise it will kill people.

Within two days, she got the news that the emperor wanted to make Shui Lige his queen, and out of jealousy, she poisoned Shui Lige.

Later, Shui Lige was found to have been poisoned by Manjusri, and she was worried for several days, for fear that Zhao Yunmo would come forward and expose her.

I didn't expect that people would hold back the expression, so that every time she saw Zhao Yunmo, she felt as if her tail was being pulled by someone, and she was shortened. Even in front of Shui Lige, she had never been so humble.

Who knew that all of this was done intentionally by Zhao Yunmo...

"What did you say? You didn't get rid of Webster?"

There was too much information in a short period of time, and Jiang Baoyu felt a little uncomfortable accepting it for a while.

Shui Hanzhou smiled lightly, and said: "The crimes of the whole Wei family are in my hands, the emperor will never let her go, why should I do it so many times? She just looks like she died because of the knife I stabbed her." dead."

"Looks like?"

Jiang Baoyu suddenly realized, "You mean, someone made a fuss about her wound, killed her, and tried to frame you?"

"You can put it that way." Shui Hanzhou didn't deny it.

Jiang Baoyu gritted his teeth, "Is it Zhao?"

Shui Hanzhou shook his head, "It's not her this time."

"That is?"

"Wei Shi is impatient and arrogant, bullying and fearing hard, and his mind is not very clear, but after all, she is the head of the three concubines Shu, De, and Xian. In her position, she will be exposed to many secrets, so there are actually many people who want her dead. .”

"You mean—" Jiang Baoyu was shocked. She thought that not long after Wei Shi's sudden death, Wei's house was ransacked, and she was even more shocked. "Among the people who killed her, would there be her family?"

Shui Hanzhou didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.

Jiang Baoyu understood everything.

She still clearly remembered that in Yunmen Temple at the beginning of the year, Zheng Guogong was planning to plot against him.

At that time, because the emperor cared about his old brother's face, he didn't make it public, and even Zheng Guogong's family members handled it secretly.

In addition, those who apparently wanted to follow Zheng Guogong to seek rebellion were beaten up. As for those who were eager to move in private, and even started to move around, although they were not beaten by the emperor, they were also shivering. Trembling, every day I don't worry about being discovered by others.

As Zheng Guogong's direct subordinate, Webster's elder brother presumably also participated in it, and might even have important information, for example, a roster.

At this time, Wei Shi was imprisoned for murdering the queen, which had already implicated the Wei family and caused the Wei family to hate it to the bone. How could they know that the Wei family would not kill their relatives righteously and cut off their own arms?

At the same time, how do those people on the roster know that the Wei family will not betray them to commit crimes and meritorious deeds?

The matter here is too complicated, and the stakes involved are beyond the resistance of mere family affection.

What's more, it is the most ruthless emperor's family. After the family sent Webster into the palace and regarded her as the bond to maintain the relationship with the emperor, she is no longer a person of flesh and blood, but a kite that can be cut off and given up at any time. , is to drain the last drop of oil from the meat.

Not only Concubine Shu, but among the women in the palace, even Shui Lige, who is not so confused?
But Jiang Baoyu didn't intend to sympathize with them, the road was blazed by themselves, they didn't need sympathy, on the contrary, they yearned for admiration, it was the fighting spirit to advance bravely in order to achieve their goals, and if they didn't advance, they would retreat.

Jiang Baoyu felt that this kind of thinking should not be sympathized with, let alone blamed, but respected.

"Since you didn't do it, why did you admit it?"

Shui Hanzhou chuckled, and suddenly there was a bit of maturity on his face that he shouldn't have at his age.

"Everything in the officialdom is nothing more than you coming and going and intrigues. If I want to stay here for a long time, I need someone to accept my favor."

Jiang Baoyu understood what Shui Hanzhou meant.

What kind of person Shui Hanzhou is, she believes that those old foxes in the officialdom know better than she does.

He will not admit for no reason what he has not done.

If he makes a big fuss and shouts out his grievances, those who want to frame him may be able to unite and corroborate the evidence, and drag the Shui family and even the queen into the water by the way.

But he didn't yell or yell, and he confessed the crime directly, and everyone had to weigh it up, did he have any evidence and grasped their handles, so they didn't dare to act rashly, maybe when they saw him in the future, They still have to make a detour.

Especially not long after, the Wei family collapsed. Knowing that Wei Dalang, the key witness of Zheng Guogong's treason, was beheaded in the street, those foolish hearts were completely put in their stomachs, and I was afraid that I should thank Shui Hanzhou for saving it They have heads on their necks.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baoyu couldn't help chuckling, and said: "The officialdom is really a big mouthful, even a jade-faced young man like you has become so philistine."
