The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade
Chapter 398 Calculation
The master of Qiqing County arrived with a smile. Accompanied by the sunshine behind him, the whole person was like a person in a painting, slowly walking into the world of fireworks from the light and shadow. The afterglow was bright all the way, and he walked into Chen Zhuoxin's side little by little, forever and ever. Entered Chen Zhuoxin's heart from afar!
Yin Hong saw County Master Qiqing walking into the study and was about to leave.
The head of Qiqing County called out to him,
"Manager Yin, stay!"
Yin Hong looked at Chen Zhuoxin with some surprise. Although he was the general manager of the mansion before, the head of Qiqing County rarely interfered with the affairs of the mansion.
The head of Qiqing County, the mistress of the family, is really not the head of the family at all.
Quite a bit, if you are undecided about foreign affairs, you should go to the old lady, and if you are undecided about domestic affairs, you should go to the eldest lady!
Therefore, after Yin Hong came to Chen Zhuoxin's side, he could count almost two slaps when he asked the head of Qiqing County alone for instructions.
Now, the head of Qiqing County actually asked him to stay. What is going on?
The question is, what's going on if he stays? They are husband and wife. Can he listen to the private conversations between husband and wife?
If these two couples got into a fight, how could he still start a fight?
A trace of confusion flashed in Chen Zhuoxin's eyes, but he still nodded.
Yin Hong hurriedly bowed deeply to the Lord of Qiqing County and said,
"County Lord, what are your orders?"
No one said "no need to be polite", so Yin Hong kept the saluting posture. Then, Yin Hong saw the hem of County Master Qiqing's skirt slowly moving towards him.
As the hem of the skirt and the embroidered shoes that occasionally exposed the hem of the skirt came closer, Yin Hong felt a trace of panic in his heart for no reason.
Then, County Master Qiqing stopped about two feet away from Yin Hong, and remembered in a soft and polite voice,
"Mr. Yin, more than ten years ago, my brother injured Concubine Jiao Xian's brother. Did Mr. Yin see it with his own eyes?"
Although the Lord of Qiqing County did not speak harshly, it was like summer thunder in Yin Hong's ears!
How did Qiqing County Master know about this?
At that time, Chen Jia, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, disappeared. The head of Qiqing County had a deep relationship with Chen Jia and was determined to wait for Chen Jia's return.
However, at that time, Zhou Yuan, the elder brother of the Lord of Qiqing County and the crown prince of Long'an County, and Jiao Liang, the younger brother of Concubine Jiao Xian, had a conflict in the street.
It is said that the carriages of two people met and no one was allowed to let the other go, so the boys from the two families started to fight first.
Then, Zhou Yuan and Jiao Liang had a disagreement for some reason and started fighting.
At that time, Concubine Jiao Xian was already Xiu Yi and was the concubine who had been promoted the fastest in the palace. Therefore, Jiao Liang was very arrogant.
Although Zhou Yuan is the prince of the county, he is not the prince after all. Moreover, the prince of Long'an is still a prince without real power. Jiao Liang will not take the prince of Long'an seriously.
Compared with Zhou Yuan, Jiao Liang was inferior in kung fu. Jiao Liang was furious for a moment and remembered some of the unscrupulous tricks he had learned from playing in brothels and casinos. So he took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and asked Zhou Yuan regardless. Go away!
The medicinal powder contained chili powder and things that could hurt the eyes. When Zhou Yuan saw Jiao Liang's actions, he was on guard. However, not only did he choke with tears and runny nose, but at the same time, the medicinal powder got into one of his eyes. The pain was excruciating.
Zhou Yuan was anxious and angry, and the moves on his hands suddenly became more severe. Finally, he kicked Jiao Liang until he vomited blood!
Both of them were relatives of the emperor, and many people saw them fighting like this on the street.
At the same time, the two refused to reconcile.
So, the lawsuit went to Dali Temple!
In the end, the verdict turned out to be that the Long'an County Prince's Palace should apologize, and that Zhou Yuan should be deprived of his position as heir apparent!
The reason is: committing murder in the street will bring shame to the royal family!
Moreover, Zhou Yuan has a problem with his eyes. Once he loses his sight, he will not be able to become the heir apparent.
The most critical witness is Yin Hong. Yin Hong said that he saw Prince Zhou kicking Mr. Jiao Liang until he vomited blood.
Jiao Liang sprayed medicine on Zhou Yuan?
Sorry, didn't see it!
In fact, Yin Hong was not at the scene at all.
To testify, I naturally went under Chen Zhuoxin’s order!
In order to keep Zhou Yuan's position as the eldest son, Chen Zhuoxin took the initiative to propose to the king of Long'an County to continue the marriage between the two houses.
Moreover, Chen Zhuoxin took the initiative to invite a "miracle doctor" to help Zhou Yuan's eyes return to normal. In this way, the head of Qiqing County became the wife of Chen Zhuoxin, the new crown prince.
The head of Qiqing County always thought that Yin Hong was at the scene at the time, and that Jiao Liang did not see clearly when he applied the medicine. Moreover, even after seeing Jiao Liang's gestures, it was hard to say whether it was medicine powder, and it was even less sure what the medicine powder was. It was not the cause of Zhou Yuan's eye injury.
Yin Hong's heart sank when he heard County Master Qiqing ask this question, knowing that County Master Qiqing probably already knew about it!
I just heard County Master Qiqing sigh slightly,
"That medicine was given to you by Hong Peiju, the Marquis of Huai'an, right? And the miracle doctor the Duke of Guo was looking for was Dr. Cheng who was kicked out of the palace by the late emperor, right?"
Yin Hong didn't dare to raise his head, but if he didn't raise his head, he wouldn't be able to see Chen Zhuoxin's instructions. Yin Hong could only maintain his original posture and hold on.
Yin Hong didn't understand why County Master Qiqing wanted to mention this matter after so long.
Is there any inside story that Yin Hong doesn't know?
While Yin Hong was thinking about it, the head of Qiqing County suddenly said coldly,
"You go out, the Duke and I have something to say."
Yin Hong bowed and exited the study, and gently closed the door.
County Master Qiqing turned around and looked at Chen Zhuoxin, who had been sitting there quietly without saying a word.
She knew that in order to marry her, the man in front of her had plotted against her and the Long'an County Prince's Palace.
However, she thought it was just a coincidence.
Coincidentally, the elder brother was young and energetic, and had a conflict with Jiao Xianfei's younger brother.
Coincidentally, Yin Hong only saw Concubine Jiao Xian's younger brother being kicked by his elder brother!
Coincidentally, Concubine Jiao Xian was in great favor at that time. The emperor, Dali Temple, and the clan's mansion all favored Concubine Jiao Xian. The family had no strong support in the court, so they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Therefore, she knew that Chen Zhuoxin was taking advantage of others' danger. No matter whether it was the Long'an County Prince or the Qiqing County Lord himself, he could not watch his brother become disabled and lose his position as the heir apparent.
However, now, she knows that all this is Chen Zhuoxin's plan!
And all this calculation actually started with a poison that Hong Peiju had just made!
Concubine Jiao Xian and Jiao Liang are just cooperating with Chen Zhuoxin in acting!
And she herself, with a grateful heart, had slept with the devil who almost killed her brother for so many years!
In fact, there may be even more shocking things waiting for you!
County Master Qiqing took a deep breath and lowered his eyes.
"My lord, please make peace!"
In the back room of "Good Neighbor", Shaoyao reported to Ji Jun the news heard by Brother Wen Chuhui and the group of beggars.
There is also the vegetable market where the maids, wives and young men of Chen Guogong's palace often go to buy vegetables. Li Mi, Zhou Huan, and Zhou Biao also sent people to inquire about the gossip about Chen Guogong's palace from the vegetable and meat vendors, seemingly unintentionally.
It can basically be concluded that someone was digging a tunnel from outside the mansion into Duke Chen's mansion, but they gave up halfway.
Ji Jun thought there was nothing strange about this, or maybe something happened to the tunnel digger who temporarily distracted him.
Or, when I dug to this place, I discovered that I dug in the wrong place.
"There is another possibility!" A steady voice sounded from behind.
Ji Jun knew it was Li Mi, but with the map of Duke Chen's Mansion in front of her, she couldn't bear to look away.
Li Mi sat across from him.
"Tell me, is it possible that the other party just wants to dig there."
Ji Jun raised his head, thought about it, then lowered his head and looked at the map. Suddenly, it seemed that a ray of light shone into the window, and the whole place was illuminated!
"You mean, someone intentionally caused the Chen Guogong Mansion to collapse?"
But what's so special here?
In the past, when I visited Chen Guogong's mansion at night, there were quite a lot of traps in that forest, but Ji Jun, at least so far, had not been able to connect with the collapse.
Li Mi pondered for a moment and said,
"I don't know if my guess is right or not. This points to the Long'an County Prince's Palace!"
