I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 152
Chang Xinyue strongly denied it, and quickly knelt down and swore to the sky that she had never met her concubine brother Chang Yao, let alone that as a queen, she would never commit any taboos in the palace. If she lied, she would be beaten by the sky boom.

Qi Tianyin sneered, looking at Chang Xinyue who was kneeling on the ground, with a frivolous brow, as if trying to discern the truth from what she said.

Last night, he received a letter from Feige from Jingming. The letter not only mentioned the general ins and outs of the fraud case, but also something that shocked him even more. It involved the forces behind Chang Xinyue. When recruiting soldiers and horses, they recruit soldiers from Bagan and buy horses from Bagan.

King Bagan had just died and passed the throne to his second son, Zhu Duolang. Zhu Duorang was also the son who accompanied the former king to visit Da Jin the most. The first crown prince was not the second son, but the eldest son Zhu Duowang.But Zhu Duowang was not willing to wait. When the king took Zhu Duolang to visit Da Jin, Zhu Duowang joined forces with his mother's mother's family to launch a mutiny, hoping to take the opportunity to seize the throne, but the royal army who had been waiting for a long time came to him. Catch them all.

It turned out that Zhu Duowang's ambitious plan had long been seen through by his second son, Zhu Duolang, who deliberately came to lure the emperor into the urn. Not only did he defeat the crown prince, but he also weakened the military power that the queen's family had held for nearly 50 years.After returning to China, he took the trouble even more, earnestly warning those captured rebels that for the future of the Bagan Dynasty, he could let the past go and treat their relatives equally.

In this way, Zhu Duorang, relying on his own wisdom and strategizing, logically became the new crown prince and now the new king.

And he, who is quite different from Da Jin, also knows how to judge the situation. After years of fighting in Bagan, all kinds of resources are already in jeopardy. What is needed most now is to hide our strength and bide our time, not to open up the frontier with a sharp edge.

Qi Tianyin welcomes this and is willing to be friendly with Bagan. But now...Chang Zhonghu's actions at the border, and the three Bagan people captured when Chen'er was assassinated...he has to re-examine Zhu Duolang .

In his opinion, now is definitely not a good time to bring down the Chang family. Chang Chonghu still has many supporters in the court. There are quite a few people around, I have been trying to get back the military power in the past few years, but I can't find the right time, I am too generous to the Chang family, even if that incident didn't happen back then, I shouldn't have all All the heavy soldiers were handed over to Chang Chonghu.

Although the soldiers in Feng Jun's hands are now strong and well-organized, compared with his Chang's army, they are still far behind. If he really cooperates with Bagan, the Feng's army may be very difficult.

unless…

Qi Tianyin's thoughts drifted to a long time ago, that strange woman, and his brother who is brave and good at fighting, both civil and military, if they are still there... no!Yes, the Xiao family army used to be stationed at the border between Dajin and Dashi all the year round. They have already regarded it as their hometown. Except for Xiao Nanzhu returning to Beijing alone to report on his duties once a year, the Xiao family army quietly stopped hearing about the world and firmly There is nothing else to hold the position at the border of the Great Jin Kingdom.

If Xiao Nanzhu and Feng Jun joined forces, it would be a breeze to attack the Chang family.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianyin felt like a boulder was blocked in his heart. Back then, if it wasn't for the woman in front of him! !How could his Jing An die!

After so many years, the hatred for the Chang family has only increased. Jing'an, just wait a little longer. After I destroy the Chang family, I will go find you.

"Queen, get up, maybe the little eunuch is wrong."

Qi Tianyin picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip.

"I heard from Taifu Xu that Zhang'er made a lot of mistakes in her studies. She must be busy with other things these days."

"Zhang'er did go out for a few days and went to Dongnan Mountain. There was a famous doctor there who was treating my concubine's headache and rheumatism. I heard that the doctor had a strange temper. He made a special trip to invite my concubine to take a look."

Emperor Taihe sneered: "Since the queen's head is stubborn and her body is weak, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the harem. You can just rest in peace and recuperate, and leave everything to Concubine Hui for the time being."

Chang Xinyue lowered her head slightly, suppressing unwillingness and anger. The veins on her head finally stopped dancing under her control. She smiled and praised Concubine Hui: "Ru Xia has also been in charge of palace affairs for many years before. She is careful and considerate. There has never been any mistakes, and with her to share the worries, the ministers and concubines can feel at ease."

Qi Tianyin's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly in his heart, then he stretched his brows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing the joy of the dragon's heart.

Before leaving, he left a sentence coldly: "Jingming has already investigated the corruption case involving the Lu family. I don't need to say more about who is involved in it. But what is strange to me is that the corruption case is really too much. Coincidentally, as for the coincidence, Chang Shangshu knows best." Qi Tianyin flicked his sleeves, "Tell your father, there is a limit to my patience, if you insist on going your own way, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Emperor Taihe left, Kunning Palace seemed to have regained its former tranquility. However, within the tranquility, there was a faintly invisible weird atmosphere.

Qingdai, the palace maid of Kunning Palace, hurried back to the palace: "I would like to report to your majesty, when the maidservant went to Yongfu Palace to deliver the oral order, Concubine Hui was talking to Marquis Yunxiang, please wait patiently."

Chang Xinyue looked slightly cool, and said lightly: "It's okay, I will just wait."

Qingdai: "..."

Qing Dai touched a soft nail, and felt quite resentful, but, in front of all the palace people, she couldn't say much, so she had to endure the sulking, and retreated to the side, why is the empress so patient today?

This wait is more than an hour.

Chang Xinyue was surprisingly patient today, and she didn't take a nap, just sitting in front of the window, looking at the crabapple tree outside the window, as if she had been looking at it for a lifetime, and never got tired of it.

Qingdai was upset and looked at Tianqing frequently, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, the grand maid Tianqing was calm on the surface, but she was also restless and restless in her heart.In the past, everything was under control, but since the assassination of King Jing, the situation has changed subtly. It is rumored in other palaces that the assassination of King Jing is related to the crown prince. It is fine if the empress does not know. Once she finds out, there will be twists and turns …

"Report to Empress Empress, Concubine Hui has entered the palace gate." A court lady came to report respectfully.

Chang Xinyue glanced at her: "Tian Qing, go and meet her."

Tian Qing immediately cheered up and responded.

Arriving at the palace gate, Tian Qing saluted Concubine Hui, and said in a low voice: "The Empress is in a bad mood today, Empress Hui should be more careful in her words, so as not to annoy the Empress."

Wei Ruxia glanced sideways at Tian Qing, sneered in her heart, and didn't answer.

Early this morning, I learned that the emperor had temporarily entrusted her with the affairs of the harem, so Chang Xinyue came to Xingshi to question her.

Fortunately, she already had a countermeasure.

"My concubine has met the empress." Wei Ruxia looked as usual, and saluted with a smile.

Chang Xinyue, who was staring out the window, neither turned her head nor made a sound.

Wei Ruxia couldn't get up, so he could only continue to maintain the posture of saluting.

A spark flashed in the eyes of Concubine Hui's eldest court lady Wan'er, this Chang Xinyue was just a puppet of the Chang family, who dared to humiliate Concubine Hui!
Concubine Hui restrained Wan'er's movement with stern eyes, still nodding her head and bowing her eyebrows, performing etiquette.

Tianqing watched the new incense burn for half a column, and then reminded softly: "Concubine Hui is presenting to the empress."

Chang Xinyue then turned her head and said in a flat voice, "Pingshen, give me a seat."

Wei Ruxia thanked her with a smile, and sat down.

Tian Qing winked at all the maids, and the maids retreated out of the door one by one, closed the door tightly when they exited, and stood a few meters away from the door, only herself and Qingdai stayed behind.

In the hall, Chang Xinyue and Wei Ruxia met each other's eyes.

"I would like to congratulate you." Chang Xinyue smiled.

Wei Ruxia came prepared, facing the yin and yang aura in the palace, she didn't panic at all, and returned with a smile: "The emperor said that my sister is not in good health and needs to rest in peace, the emperor is so considerate, this is something that concubines and others can't envy." What's the matter, although Ru Xia was the first to enter the palace, she is not half as talented as her sister, these days, it's just learning."

"Besides, the rumors in the palace are getting more and more serious now. The emperor may have been annoyed by the posts of the ministers, so he made such a bad plan. The emperor has an order, and Ru Xia has no choice but to obey. Please forgive me, empress."

Tianqing and Qingdai's expressions tightened, their fingers almost sank into their flesh, but there was no room for them to intervene.

"Rumor? What rumor?" Chang Xinyue asked.

Wei Ruxia pretended to be taken aback, "Your Majesty doesn't know yet?" As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Tianqing and Qingdai twice.

Chang Xinyue was shocked, knowing that it was not easy, her tone was filled with anger and anxiety.

"Say."

Wei Ruxia suddenly knelt on the ground, "It's all my fault for my concubine's talkativeness, my empress calm down."

Chang Xinyue stood up abruptly, pointed at Wei Ruxia fiercely with a finger guard, "Say! What rumors?"

The people on the ground seemed to be frightened, and they collapsed on the ground. They were forced to say that there were rumors in the palace that His Royal Highness sent someone to assassinate King Jing because he was unwilling that Jingzhou was allocated to him.

What? ?The prince sent someone to assassinate?
And the word Jingzhou was like a sharp thorn, piercing deeply into Chang Xinyue's heart. Her black eyes flashed with pain, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Concubine Hui saw it in her eyes, and she felt a strong pleasure in her heart: "Don't worry, empress, those are all rumors. I also punished several eunuchs and maids. The difference between the birthdays of His Royal Highness and Heng'er is only a few hours. Son, the two of them have always been as close as brothers, with us, no one will make the crown prince feel wronged."

Chang Xinyue looked fierce, "Whoever dares to touch the person I care about the most, even if I risk my life, I will definitely not spare her!"

Wei Ruxia knew that Qi Yuzhang was Chang Xinyue's lifeblood, and Jingzhou was a scar she couldn't touch. Normally, she wouldn't mention it, but today, she was also angered by the master and maid of Kunning Palace. If it's too hard, then poke the scar.

Sure enough, Chang Xinyue was in unbearable pain as if she had been pierced in the chest by a sharp thorn. That beautiful face suddenly turned pale and lost all color.

Wei Ruxia took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Yes, the Empress naturally has this ability."

Yuan Yanxi immediately sent an express message to the emperor with the confessions of Jia Yun, Lu Jinzhi, and Wei Qianzhou. That night, they packed up and set off back to Beijing with three witnesses.

"Jingming, are Heisha's words credible?"

Yuan Yanxi wrapped her cloak for her, and put her hands in her arms, "This person is trustworthy, but he is loyal and filial. I will explain to you later. Now, we must cheer up, the road may not be smooth. "

Handed her a new short dagger: "Although you told me that there were grappling and fighting in your era, the people here have been trained in extremely cruel violence. They are killers. I hope you don't fight with them." Head-to-head, you just need to stay with Lu Jinzhi and the others, Jia Yun has a self-defense maze, and you, look for the right time, and give a fatal blow. Don't fight blindly."

"Understood, you have said it several times." Lu Xizhi tapped his chest reproachfully.

"You have to be careful in everything. The target of the coming person must be the witness. I will protect them together with my brothers."

They rushed back to the capital on the last day of the time limit. During this period, they really went through many obstacles. Group after group of killers came forward to launch surprise attacks, but fortunately there was a kid like Jia Yun. Trouble, he also blocked a deadly sword for Lu Xizhi, which caused his shoulder to be pierced by the long sword. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his vitals. In Jia Yun's words, this is a life for a life, and the two are settled.

Lu Xizhi looked at him angrily, and said that he still owed her a matchmaker's debt, if it wasn't for her, he and Lu Jinzhi would still be shameless bastards now.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yanxi and Lu Xizhi arrived at Qianqing Palace as scheduled, and explained in detail the whole process of solving the case, as well as the testimonies of the three witnesses.

Lu Xizhi originally thought that his father would be taken back to the Lu family in a glorious manner, and he would be reinstated immediately, but the emperor just nodded lightly, praising them for their speedy handling of the case, and the result was very good, just like that, quietly informed Dali Temple released people, and let Lu Zhonglian rest at home, waiting for the announcement.

Until leaving the palace, Lu Xizhi was still a little dizzy, why is it completely different from what he thought?
Has the mastermind behind the scenes been checked?Just let Chang Yao go?There are more than 30 people who died in Jia's house, so forget it?
"Jingming, what does the emperor mean?" Lu Xizhi couldn't help being full of doubts and indignation.

"Xixi, I know what you are thinking in your heart, but the emperor also has difficulties. The twists and turns are really complicated. Let's go pick up Master Lu first."

Lu Xizhi didn't want to argue with him here now, suppressed his boredom, and followed him to Dali Temple.

On the third day, Dongchang and Dali Temple received clear instructions at the same time that the case of Lu Zhonglian's corruption and fraud, according to the general wrong case, was quickly closed, and the emperor personally sent two ministers to take over the case and directly contacted the three witnesses , and the rest are not allowed to follow up on the case.

Also from this day on, in the entire capital, the fact that the Lu family was taken away by investigation has become the most sensitive word, no matter what kind of news it is, it is not allowed to spread.

For the past few days, Lu Xizhi has been avoiding Yuan Yanxi's overt and secret invitations. She doesn't want to see him.

Why can't an unjust, false and wrongly decided case be announced to the world? Lu Zhonglian was wronged, including those slanderous documents, land deeds, house deeds, and rumors that his father raised his wife, murdered and silenced, all of which were rumors.

The common people should know that the Lu family is open-minded, well-known and upright, and Lu Zhonglian is honest and upright, instead of just returning to the house in silence and suffering such a big loss of being dumb.

She can't act like nothing happened!You know, this beautiful big family was almost destroyed.

"Miss, Director Yuan is here, and he is talking to the master in the main courtyard." Chunxiang ran in.

"Just talk, don't bother me." Lu Xizhi turned over and turned his back to her.

"The master asked me to invite the lady over."

"If you don't want to go, just say I'm not feeling well." She was impatient.

Waited for a long time.

Um?No sound?Stop shouting now?
Either way, she just didn't want to see that annoying and missed man.

There was a rush of footsteps coming this way again, thinking it was Chunxiang who had gone and returned, she was just about to jump up from the bed to drive people out.

"Ouch... ouch..."

"You girl!!! I want to see how the strange woman who just ate six fried buns and a big bowl of mung bean soup is feeling uncomfortable."

Lu Zhonglian quickly and accurately grabbed his daughter's ear, and pulled him up.

Just as Lu Xizhi was about to retort, he caught a glimpse of a tall man standing next to him from the corner of his eye, and heard him burst out laughing.

"Miss Lu has a really good appetite."
