Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 469
However, he did not expect that amidst the fire at the Fafo Temple and the chaos in the capital, the queen would investigate the matter thoroughly and take people out.

Her wife did it very secretly, and she counted the opportunity, but unfortunately, the queen who was recuperating in the palace was the only one left out.

Now that the queen has captured the dowry girl, she has seized the evidence behind the Yongkang Hou Mansion inciting the people to slander Xie Fanghua.

Although the emperor was not in the capital, the woman was arrested and taken into the palace, which was next to the emperor's couch, and whoever said that she could go in and ask for someone would be able to get her back.

Yongkang Hou was anxious to walk around the room.

Several counselors sat together to discuss and felt that this matter was extremely difficult.

After all, the fire at the Fafo Temple is a major event. Although heavy rain has extinguished the spreading fire, no one was injured or injured.But according to the news from the spies, Princess Ying, the second son Zheng, and Miss Fanghua were all assassinated by dead men.Just at this time, the Yongkang Hou Mansion spread rumors about Xie Fanghua's filth, and the woman was captured by the queen and brought into the palace.

The dignified concubine, the second son Zheng, and the young lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion encountered assassins. This matter must be thoroughly investigated by the emperor to find out.At that time, the Yongkang Hou Mansion must be implicated and blamed.

Being blamed is still a trivial matter, I'm afraid this matter will become a big one.

If there is a big trouble, then the Yongkang Hou Mansion's move will be trivial.

"Sure enough, women can't be allowed to make trouble!" Yongkang Houfu walked in the study for a while, and said something angrily.

The counselors glanced at each other, and they all knew that the Yongkang Hou Mansion had always been run by women.Since the generation of the old Hou Ye married a powerful wife, who is now the mother of the Yongkang Hou, many things in the Yongkang Hou Mansion have been decided by women.Especially the old lady married Yongkanghou a powerful daughter-in-law.Since then, the Marquis of Yongkang has had both yin and yang declines.

Yongkang Hou is very old, and now the old lady in the mansion still takes care of him occasionally, and he has been unhappy for many years.

Especially after Yan Ting ran away from home, Yan Ting was the only son and only root of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion.He was forced to run away from home.Although the entire Yongkang Hou Mansion blamed the Zhongyong Hou Mansion on the responsibility, but behind the scenes, the servants also murmured to themselves that everything was due to the old lady and his wife's strict control and forced the young master to leave.Xie Fanghua was just a reason for him to leave in despair.

"Have you been discussing for a long time? Did you come up with a good idea?" Yongkang Hou looked at the counselors with a sullen face.

Several counselors lowered their heads in unison, and one of them said, "Master Hou, although you are spreading rumors to pollute the young lady of the Zhongyonghou's Mansion, but if you bring this matter up, it is nothing more than being reprimanded by the emperor." After a pause, He said, "I just don't know, did Madam do other things behind her back?"

Marquis Yongkang was taken aback, "What else has she done?"

"My subordinates are just guessing. The Fafo Temple is on fire now. The fire spread through the wind and burned down the fasting courtyard where Princess Ying, the old concubine and others lived. Someone took advantage of the fire to assassinate the concubine, the second son Zheng, and the lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion. If it is said that a big fire falls from the sky, although it is rare, it is not impossible. After all, the sky is dry in spring, but it happens to be assassinated when the fire happens. If such a thing happens, we must investigate it carefully. Did someone set the fire? Did someone What are you planning to do with the fire?" said a counselor.

Yongkanghou's complexion changed slightly, "You mean, Madam did it on her own initiative without my knowledge?"

"The subordinates are just guessing, why don't Lord Hou ask Madam, if there is no such thing, if Madam just uses the fire of the Fafo Temple to spread remarks to tarnish the reputation of Miss Zhongyonghou's Mansion, even if the empress takes advantage of it, she will not be afraid. After all, everyone in Beijing now knows that Yongkanghou's Mansion and Zhongyonghou's Mansion have completely turned against each other because of Young Lord Yan's departure from the capital. Because of their estrangement, the two mansions sometimes resort to small means of revenge, but it's not a big deal. The emperor has always maintained and trusted you, Lord Marquis, and has always supported and supported the Marquis of Yongkang. Presumably, even if the emperor came back and found out about this matter, he would not be too censure."

The Marquis of Yongkang nodded when he heard the words, and shouted to the outside, "Come here!"

"Master Hou!" The chief manager of the Yongkang Hou Mansion has been guarding outside the study room, and immediately responded.

"Has Madam entered the palace and returned to the mansion?" Yongkang Hou Mansion asked.

The chief executive of the Yongkang Hou Mansion hesitated for a moment, and reported the news, "Back to the Marquis, someone just came to report. The gate of the palace was closed, and the empress made an order. No one will be seen today. Madam was blocked at the door. outside."

"Since she is blocked outside the palace gate, let her come back quickly." Yongkanghou ordered.

"Madam seems to have gone to Xie's eldest house." The chief of the Yongkang Hou Mansion said.

Zhongyonghou's complexion changed, and he said angrily, "The spies just sent back the news that Xie's eldest house bought a fake monk to attack Xie Fanghua, and he was caught. The emperor ordered five thousand imperial soldiers to besiege Xie's eldest house, why did she go to Xie Fanghua?" The chief's house?"

The chief executive of the Yongkang Hou Mansion turned pale when he heard the words, "Madam just sent back the news that she is going to Xie's long house, and she will not go back to the mansion for the time being. I don't know if people have arrived at Xie's long house now!"

"Now, hurry up, you immediately send someone to ride the fastest horse to Xie's eldest house, and take a shortcut to stop my wife." Yongkang Hou heard this and was anxious.The madam who secretly scolded her has lost her mind since her son left, and at what time, she ran to Xie's long house to get involved with Xie's long house.

The chief housekeeper of Yongkanghou's mansion quickly responded, and immediately ran away from the study, ordering someone to ride a fast horse to intercept Mrs. Yongkanghou.

After Yongkanghou ordered the housekeeper, he sat down on the chair, "It's a woman, a woman knows a lot!"

None of the counselors said a word. For so many years, people outside could see clearly that the old lady of Yongkang Hou Mansion and his wife were in charge of the house, and some things were decided in private without going through Yongkang Hou.However, there has never been such a major event, so it has been peaceful.But now this involves the assassination of Princess Ying and Second Young Master Zheng, it is not a trivial matter, but a major event.

Just as Marquis Yongkang was jumping anxiously in the study, Xie's eldest room was in a panic.

Those who lived in the Southern Qin capital, especially those from the Xie Clan's Changfang branch, had always wanted to replace the Zhongyonghou's Mansion, so naturally, they secretly cultivated many forces and spies.

When the false monk of Fafo Temple made a confession, the spies reported the news back to Mrs. Xie's eldest room.

Xie Chuan, the head of the Xie family's eldest house, and his wife, Mrs. Min, suddenly turned pale, feeling lost.Originally, this matter was thought to be seamless, but whoever imagined that the murderer was caught and brought before the emperor.Well, although Xie's eldest family's intention to harm Zhongyonghou has been concealed all the time, it can be said to be clearly revealed today.Then, whether it is handled by the emperor or by the Xie clan, I am afraid it will not be good.
