The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 226 Grand Festival
When Yu Qiansi reappeared in plain clothes and with her hair draped over her shoulders, Su Niang bowed slightly and said, "I have been here with Master Yu the whole time. Master Yu has just woken up. This is really a cause for celebration."

She originally planned to knock Su Niang unconscious before taking any action, but Su Niang said that with her testimony, Yu Qiansi would be more easily trusted.

Yu Qiansi tilted his head and thought for a long time, then finally smiled and nodded.

To convict Dasheng, two or more witnesses and physical evidence are needed to corroborate the crime. In today's situation, the physical evidence is the treasures from the imperial tombs during the reign of Emperor Tian, ​​and the witnesses are the ministers in the court. She is already invincible.

Therefore, she was not worried that Su Niang would turn against her. A woman with no background and questionable identity would have half her life held in the hands of the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

She just thought it was interesting that one had to keep going to see which way a person wanted to go and what they wanted.

She had just seen clearly that Lan Shu always had some ambiguous expressions when he looked at Su Niang.

It seemed that what made him angry was not that he was angry at himself for ruining his plan, but why Su Niang helped him.

"You're welcome, Lord Yu." His voice trembled slightly, as if he had not yet recovered from the lie he had just told.

Yu Qiansi simply put it bluntly: "From the first day I arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum and went to look for you to go up the mountain together, you should have known that I wanted to use you as a witness."

But later something unexpected happened. She was injured and pretended to be unconscious, and Su Niang was also found fainted in the garden. She gave up the idea of ​​using Su Niang.

Unexpectedly, Su Niang came here by herself today.

She turned around, pushed open the gate, walked into the yard, sat down at the stone table, watched Su Niang follow in, turned around to close the door, and suddenly asked.

"Why help me?"

Su Niang's back shook, and as if she had made up her mind, she turned around and knelt on the ground.

"I heard that Lord Yu would never let go of a grudge, and I personally thought that you would definitely repay a favor. After I learned that I might be useful to Lord Yu, I wanted to take a gamble. Lord Yu used me once, and I also want to ask Lord Yu to help me once."

How to help?
Whether it was solving cases and tracking down murderers in the past or learning about the messy things in the court now, as long as you know the purpose of those people, you will naturally know their actions and intentions.

But she really couldn't see through Su Niang, because all along, she had no idea what Su Niang wanted.

"I want to ask Master Yu, if one day I am held hostage by someone, please save me, Lord Yu, and get me away!"

"Who is holding you hostage? Leaving? Where do you want to go?"

But no matter how Yu Qiansi asked, Su Niang just had a pale face, shook her head, and kept begging her to agree to her.

Yu Qiansi sighed secretly: "Forget it, I promise you, if there comes such a day, I will do my best to help you."

Until Su Niang left, Yu Qiansi still sat in the yard, facing the sun, thinking about the world in his mind.

When Su Niang first heard about Jiang Jiqing's identity, she was afraid, but for some reason she stayed when she could have chosen to leave.

But now, she asked me to save her and leave?

Who is she, and why is she so sure that someone would hold her hostage?
It seems that I need to find an opportunity to ask the young master about the Ministry of Revenue's investigation.

"Why are you sitting here? Your head is full of sweat."

Bo Yi came into the yard at some point, shielded her from the sunlight, and handed her a new handkerchief.

Only then did she feel a little dizzy.

Bo Yi quickly helped her up and returned to the house.

"It's very lively up ahead, right?" Yu Qiansi took the tea that Boyi handed to her, took a sip, and couldn't help laughing: "This local scholar you found is really capable. Those fragments of ritual vessels, copper coins, pearls and jade are really intimidating." She found it funny when she thought of the stupid and stunned look of the Lan family.

Bo Yi couldn't help laughing out loud. Today he finally understood why Suifeng liked to watch the fun so much. It was indeed quite interesting.

"This is all thanks to your good idea of ​​asking him to go to Longyuan to look for old items from the time of the previous emperor. He got the idea right away and only picked out the damaged pieces of ritual vessels. It didn't take him long to find a lot."

Longyuan is close to the imperial mausoleum of the Holy Mountain, and an antique trading market has gradually formed over the years. Although they all claim that the artifacts came from the imperial mausoleum, most of the items related to this dynasty are just folk goods collected by various parties. However, there are also many remnants of ritual objects from previous dynasties.

Although these things are genuine, they are not worth much money due to their damage. On the contrary, they are the best items to collect in the antique market.

Based on what he had seen on the holy mountain before, Yu Qiansi drew a rough map of the canyon, marking a small formation and a safe entry route, which was then handed over to the tomb robber outside the mountain by Boyi.

That person was indeed capable and smart. Most importantly, he understood orders and knew when to advance and when to retreat. He didn't touch things he shouldn't touch. In her eyes, that was a test he had passed.

Yu Qiansi held the teacup and bowed to the distance: "Today's events went so smoothly, thanks to the acting patriarch of the Lan family, who dug a trap for him in advance."

Everyone saw the hole dug in the imperial mausoleum with their own eyes, and heard the noises outside the valley and the fragments of ritual vessels. It was clear that the Lan family had failed to protect the imperial mausoleum properly, allowing the tomb robbers to take advantage.

I'm afraid that the person in the Daming Palace who cooperated with the Lan family did not tell the Lan family which emperor's tomb he wanted to dig in order to avoid giving them an excuse.

In order to ensure that he could be caught in the act, Lan Shu was smart enough to dig up the nearest tomb of the previous emperor, waiting to pin the blame on himself when he came down the mountain.

"Your Majesty originally wanted to punish the Lan family with caning, but Lan Shu took it all on his own." Thinking of Lan Shu's bloody and miserable state, Bo Yi sighed and touched the hidden scar at the end of his eyebrow: "But I heard that Your Majesty also rewarded Lan Shu with many rare medicinal herbs."

It seems that the royal family has a close relationship with the Lan family. Jiang Jiqing is telling everyone that he can suppress the Lan family, but he also values ​​them.

"Don't worry, I'm no longer that stupid Jade Rakshasa. If they stop blocking our way, I won't cause any trouble."

What's more, the roadblocks have now been removed.

To the outside world, some tomb robbers broke into the imperial mausoleum and looted some treasures, but when they left, they were killed by the formation in the canyon and all the treasures were destroyed.

As for the Yu Lan family, they would definitely think that they had succeeded, so they deliberately created noise outside the canyon to divert attention.

After this incident, they will no longer waste time on Yu Qiansi and his group.

In this way, they can proceed slowly.

On the day of Yi Si hour, the god of joy is in the northwest, the god of conflict is in the pig, and the god of evil is in the east.

It is suitable for thanking gods and offering sacrifices.

Yu Qiansi covered her face with her sleeves and yawned quietly.

At the time of Yin, Jiang Jiqing bathed, changed clothes, burned incense and worshipped, and began to climb the mountain. After worshipping at each mausoleum, it was already past the time of Si when he reached the sacrificial hall on the top of the mountain.

The sacrificial hall is set up on the crater, and the crater is covered with a house using the Mohist technique of using no pillars and mortise and tenon joints.

The entire hall has no windows, only nine huge candles standing in nine directions. Countless brackets are connected by mortise and tenon joints, stretching upwards and painted with gold powder.

In the light of the giant candle, the colorfully painted immortals are seen riding on the clouds between the beams, smiling and welcoming everyone.

The clothes are fluttering, as if they are about to fly in the wind.

Thanks to Foqianchenpianpian2015 for the recommendation vote, and thank you all for your reading.

Ah Si (starry eyes, fist clenched): I'm finally getting back to my old job, autopsies! Chasing the murderer!
