Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 87 Remnants
Li Taiwei's exclamation shocked many people in Qiutang Court.

Everyone looked at each other but didn't dare to delay, when they rushed to the firewood room where Nanny Qin was imprisoned, they were one step too late.

Nanny Qin asked a white silk to be hung on the roof beam, her brows were ferocious, her body swayed slightly.

The maids screamed.
Mama Tian came over on her heels, she didn't know what happened, but when she looked up, she saw Qin Nanny's body hanging in the air, her face was dark and purple, her eyeballs were bulging, and her tongue was sticking out long ago, as if she had breathed out a long time ago.

Mother Tian screamed in shock, and trembling hurriedly stepped forward to cover Li Taiwei's eyes, but told Li Taiwei to turn her face away.

She stared intently at Nanny Qin's body, and said angrily:

"Come here! Go to the whole mansion to search for Hongzhu's whereabouts!"

"Report this matter to my father and second uncle. No one is allowed to come in until the government comes!"

In the panic, someone responded, turned around and bumped into Li Pu who was following him. The young man made a hasty confession with a pale face, and ran outside with his feet up.

Li Pu frowned and said nothing, when he stepped into the door and saw such a scene, he was so startled that he suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"How could this be?"

Li Taiwei turned around, glanced at Li Pu lightly, and said firmly:
"I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Hong Zhu, even your mother's death is probably also related to this person..."

Li Pu was so startled that he couldn't speak, and couldn't help his belly churning anymore, he ran out the door quickly, and retched while holding the porch pillar.

Li Taiwei walked up to him, handed him the handkerchief, and comforted him in a low voice, and saw Li Sheng and Li Qin rushing over.

The two of them entered the room and took a look. When they came out, their expressions were not very good, especially Li Qin, who was trembling violently.

Li Sheng saw Li Taiwei and Li Pu standing in the corridor, walked over quickly, put one hand on Li Taiwei's forehead, and said with concern:

"Is Ah Luan scared? How is Brother Pu?"

Li Pushang's legs were weak, he leaned against the pillar and panted heavily, and nodded towards Li Sheng with a pale face.

Li Taiwei shook his head, squeezed Li Sheng's hand, and said anxiously:
"Father! This matter is probably related to Hongzhu. I have ordered people to search for him in the mansion. If I can't find this person, maybe my father will mobilize the Imperial Army and the Gyeonggi Battalion?"

Li Sheng was surprised when he heard this:
"How do you know it's about her?"

"It's really the hand of Red Vermillion, why did it alarm the imperial army and the Jingji camp? Does Ah Luan know what he's talking about?"

Li Taiwei could only patiently explain:

"Father told me last night that although the third master Bai pleaded guilty, he didn't know about the past life pearl! His subordinates also confessed that they didn't handle this thing, so where did Bai's past life pearl come from?" ?”

"That day, I heard from Imperial Physician Lin that this Pearl of Rebirth was originally developed by a court pharmacist in the former dynasty. It can cause pregnant women to abort through the scent. Because of its strong medicinal properties, it was later listed as a banned drug. Since the fall of the previous dynasty, this formula has long been lost. , is a rare thing that cannot be bought with silver.”

"The Bai family is a woman who lives in the mansion all the year round, and has maids and maids by her side to serve her. If there is no help from the third master Bai, she may not even be able to get the Mixiang quietly, let alone the Pearl of Rebirth... "

"I just asked the people in my grandmother's room. When Mrs. Xue went to Hua'an Hall to plead guilty, it was Hong Zhu who suggested to invite her mother to discuss the matter. Last night, Hong Zhu personally accompanied her second brother and fourth sister to visit Bai in prison. Shi."

Li Taiwei paused, then continued:
"I once heard my grandmother mention that Hongzhu entered the mansion five years ago. Does my father still remember what happened in the capital five years ago?"

Li Sheng listened carefully, his eyes turned cold.

"In the tenth year of Jingsheng, the former prince of Chong'an brought the Shinto to rebellion, and was later wiped out by the forbidden army"

Mrs. Li nodded slightly.

Shengjing was in great chaos that year, but it was the people who caused chaos in the Shinto. If Lu Hou hadn't led his troops back to the court in time, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been overthrown by the Shinto.

Li Sheng's eyes were deep:

"You suspect that Hongzhu is a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

Li Taiwei nodded slightly, looking at Li Sheng with clear eyes:

"If it wasn't so, where did the Bai family get the long-lost Pearl of Rebirth?"

"Although Mrs. Bai's crimes are serious, if my Li Bai family cares about reputation and face, she doesn't have to die. However, after seeing Hong Zhu yesterday, she cut off her wrists, and Mother Qin must be an insider. Hit her hard."

"I just saw Mother Qin's dead body. The clothes are smooth and there are no signs of struggle, and there is no trace of fighting in the room. It seems that she died voluntarily. It is enough to force Bai and Mother Qin to give up their lives, which is enough to show the behind of this person. Power. Regardless of whether this matter is related to the previous court or not, father should be cautious and not underestimate it!"

Li Sheng took a deep look at Li Taiwei and was shocked.

Everything she said made sense, but every word surprised him.

"Princess, Master Xiang!"

The boy came to report:

"The servants have searched the entire Prime Minister's mansion, but there is no trace of Miss Hongzhu! Just now I asked the porter, and he said that he saw Miss Hongzhu leaving the mansion in a hurry, but she has not returned yet."

Li Sheng and Li Taiwei looked at each other, and said in a deep voice:
"Come here! In accordance with the official's instructions, order the Jingzhao Mansion and the Bing Ma Si to immediately seal the city gates and search for the fugitive slave Hongzhu with all their strength!"

"Prepare the horse! The truth is going to the palace to face the saint!"

In the Changping Marquis Mansion, Lu Qing was practicing swordsmanship. He heard that Li Xiangqian ordered Jingzhao Mansion and Bing Ma Si to man the capital to search for a fugitive slave in the mansion. He remembered the news from Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, so he knew that something was wrong. , put on some clothes and rode to the palace.

Lu Xiao just came back from the Jinwu Guard on duty at noon, and when he was having lunch, Lu Hou was not seen, so he asked Luo Shi:

"Xiu Mu today, my father is not in the mansion?"

Luo Shi was standing at the side serving vegetables, he paused when he heard the sound, and then said something about Marquis Lu's entry into the palace.

Lu Xiao remembered that he had indeed met a lot of soldiers and horses on the road just now. After thinking about it for a while, he got up and went outside without caring about the meal.

Luo Shi didn't even see Lu Xiao turning back after calling twice. He vaguely sensed what happened in his heart, so he whispered a few words to the maid beside him, asking her to quietly tell Mr. Sheng about it.

Lu Xiao rode his horse all the way and came straight to the prime minister's mansion.

The prime minister closed its doors today to thank the guests. Lu Xiao received the news that Mrs. Bai committed suicide early in the morning, and knew that it was not good to stay any longer, so she reported her name and concierge, saying that she came to thank the Li family for sending a medical girl to save Lu Yuan that night.

The porter glanced at Lu Xiao, who was empty-handed, in surprise, and then turned to Gu Yu who was standing behind him.

Gu Yu could only turn around with a blushing face, feeling so embarrassed by her master's lie that she didn't have the ability to beat the abdomen, she was so embarrassed that she plucked the ground with her toes.

The doorman exchanged sloppy words with Lu Xiao, but when he was about to close the door, he was stopped by a small white hand.

Lu Xiao watched helplessly as Dafu only stretched out two fingers to stop the porter boy's forceful push of the door with both hands, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Dafu brushed off his sleeves and walked out, took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Lu Xiao, and said solemnly:
"My son, my princess said that the matter is urgent and told me to wait here for my son."

Lu Xiao nodded, looked down at the signature on the envelope, paused and asked:
"Is your master okay?"

Dafu nodded, then quickly frowned and shook his head.

"It's okay, ma'am, the princess can feel at ease, but just now the old madam ordered that only the second lady's body be allowed to enter the mansion..."

"The fourth girl rushed into the princess's room, crying and begging the princess to come forward, but the princess didn't respond, so the fourth girl had a big fight with the princess, and even pushed down the screen in the princess's room... she didn't get hurt at all. Man, I just asked the Second Young Master to take it back."

Lu Xiao opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, and paused with his fingertips. Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth:
"Li Yao? She dares!"
