Chapter 284 Zongzheng Mansion

It's a pity that several maids also beat dogs with meat buns, and none of them went there until the sun was in the west, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his thirsty throat was smoking, Zhang Yang rushed over again.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, father-in-law." Zhang Yang saluted with a smile, and replied, "Our lady fell asleep after drinking the medicinal soup earlier. The imperial doctor ordered me not to disturb you. No, the lady just woke up , and now I'm ready to go out. Da Zongzheng's transfer order clearly stated that if the empress wants to go today, she must not stick to whether it is morning or evening."

"No, no!" The old eunuch felt that half his life was about to be confessed at this moment, and he didn't dare to make things difficult, he wished he could rush out in one step.As long as he brought people to the Zongzheng Mansion, he would have completed the task. When the time came, he would serve a cup of tea and watch the damn concubine be unlucky, and he would pay back no matter how much hatred he had.

Seeing that his lips were so dry that his skin burst, Zhang Yang also felt relieved, smiled and asked him to sit down for a while, and then went down to order the carriages and horses to be prepared.

Dong Rong rested for another day, and her energy improved a lot. She felt that she could cope with the temptations and fists of the villains, so she changed into the imperial uniform again and got into the carriage.The old eunuch was afraid that there would be another accident, so he refused to sit in his own carriage again. Instead, he sat on the shaft of Dong Rong's carriage.

How could Dong Rong not know and ignore it.To him, it doesn't matter how these little guys are, what matters is Da Zong's upright attitude.According to the current situation, it is difficult to guarantee whether Dazong was also bought and became someone else's pawn.If that's the case, she may have some twists and turns today.

Thinking all the way like this, the carriage arrived at the gate of Zongzheng Mansion, because this time he was summoned to come for questioning, so the carriage did not have the right to enter the gate.Dong Rong climbed up the stone ladder step by step with the help of the maid, and finally reached the two vermilion gates.A young eunuch had already seen this, and hurriedly opened the side door.Just as Dong Rong led the people to go in, the old eunuch ran away somewhere. A black-faced eunuch stopped at the door and said forcefully, "It's fine for the concubine to go in alone, and other idlers are not allowed to enter."

"This father-in-law," Zhang Yang smiled and took two steps forward, putting one hand in his cuff to send some banknotes to open the way.But the eunuch didn't even lift his eyelids, and just threw out another sentence, "The royal palace, no one else is allowed to enter."

Dong Rong made up her mind to be tough to the end this time, otherwise she would just be patient, and I'm afraid both Mao and Gou would think that the Zhongshan Palace is easy to bully.

"Guard Zhang should take someone to wait outside." Dong Rong ordered lightly.

How could Zhang Yang feel at ease, when he wanted to persuade him, Dong Rong turned to the black-faced eunuch.

"Where does this gentleman work on a regular basis? Does he have the emperor's special gold medal?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Zhang Yang immediately understood Dong Rong's intentions, really dumbfounded.I am about to fall into the tiger's mouth. At this time, it is fine not to feed the tiger with cattle and sheep. How can I repay the favor? Should I stroke the tiger's beard?
The eunuch had been fooling around in the Zongzheng Mansion all his life, so he was naturally not a fool, his face instantly turned from pale to pale, which was extremely wonderful.But in the end, he still bowed down unwillingly to salute Dong Rong, "Slave Li Quan greets the princess."

Dong Rong raised her chin high, as if she didn't see his luggage, she still looked calm and refused to respond.

Li Quan was helpless, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, knelt down again and said loudly, "Slave Li Quan pays respects to the concubine, concubine, best wishes."

Only then did Dong Rong smile slightly, and replied, "Oh, it's Mr. Li, get up. It's not easy for you to be slaves. You kneel and kneel all day. I'm afraid your knees are weak. There are some good medicines brought from the south, if you feel uncomfortable in your knees, just come to ask for them.”

"Thank you for your generosity." Li Quan couldn't hear the blatant contempt and warning in Dong Rong's words. He gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still had to kowtow to thank him.

Dong Rong ignored her at all, turned her head and nodded slightly at Zhang Yang and the others, and then walked into the gate.Although Zhang Yang knew that Jiayi and the others were secretly protecting him, seeing the door of the Zongzheng Mansion creaking shut, his heart felt heavier.But thinking of his sister-in-law's many instructions before, he could only clenched his fists tightly.

According to Dong Rong's thinking, the person who framed her was concerned about her identity, so he had to trick her first, and he would tear his face if he knew it would fail.But she obviously underestimated their arrogance. She was led by the little eunuch, and just entered the lobby of the Zongzheng Mansion, when she saw the dark-faced Dazong sitting on the main seat, with an obviously annoyed look on his face.Dong Rong frowned slightly, and bowed to salute, "Lord Zongzheng, I'm being polite."

On normal days, Da Zong would stop her with a smile before she bent down, but today she didn't make a sound when she finished the salute, instead he scolded, "Mr. Dong, you are so brave? , you actually came here at this time? Do you take the Zongzheng Mansion seriously?"

Dong Rong felt angry when she heard this, she straightened her waist slowly, and asked coldly, "Master Zongzheng, is this blaming me? I never knew when Zongzheng's mansion represented the whole royal family? Send people into the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and ask her to judge and judge. This palace is for the first rank of the dynasty. The princess of Zhongshan, because of being falsely accused for no reason, even if she is seriously ill in bed, she has to support herself. Da Zongzheng not only Instead of being considerate, he reprimanded. Could it be that Da Zongzheng treated Bengong as a prisoner before the case was tried? Is Dazong being rude or Bengong being rude?"

"You," Dazong's beard that was being blocked was raised, and he said angrily, "Don't scare the old man with the empress dowager, since the old man is sitting in this position, he has the right to order any royal family to defend himself .”

"Da Zongzheng also knows that Zongzheng's mansion only has the right to inquire. I thought you would torture me and torture me." Dong Rong smiled contemptuously, and she couldn't see the slightest fear, "In that case, Da Zongzheng should hurry up and start asking, I may not be able to persist for a few quarters of an hour as the wind and cold in my palace have not healed."

Da Zongzheng also felt that if he continued to say this, his goal would not be achieved, and he would roll his eyes, so he quickly winked at Li Quan, who was waiting by his side.Li Quan bowed his head and hurried to the back hall.

Dong Rong didn't care what they were doing, just found a chair at random and Shi Shiran sat down, and finally asked, "Is there no tea in the Zongzheng Mansion? Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have no tea to share?"

These words are a bit vicious, if they spread, it may become Zongzheng's government complaining about corruption and embezzlement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Although in fact, the Zongzheng Mansion was indeed made things difficult before, but since the nobleman in the palace said hello, it has never happened again.However, it is still not easy to offend those villains in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Thinking of this, Da Zongzheng could only hold back his breath, and signaled the little eunuch at the door to make tea and serve some snacks.

Soon, four dishes of snacks and a pot of tea were served. Dong Rong played with the teacup slowly, not even a drop of water touched her lips.She asked for tea just to hurt Da Zongzheng, plant a tough impression in his heart, and save him from thinking that he is too easy to bully.As for the tea, in the enemy camp, if something was mixed with it, wouldn't it be a big disadvantage for her, she would definitely not be able to drink half a mouthful.

Seeing this, Dazong snorted coldly, and stopped provoking.After a while, Li Quan made arrangements, and led two officials in fourth-rank official mansions to come in from the door.Dazong was getting up to greet the two, and finally said to Dong Rong, "These two are assistant officials of Dali Temple. They are usually in charge of files and files. Shading the sky, wronged her."

Dong Rong ignored the thorns in Da Zong's righteous words, smiled and nodded to the two assistant officials, and said lightly, "I'll trouble you to record today."

The two assistant officials didn't know what happened before, and they were summoned by the Zong Zhengfu to make records before, and they followed Li Quan when they saw Li Quan's door today.Unexpectedly, they were going to wade into muddy water, both of them suffered from severe headaches, but they were already standing in the Zongzheng Mansion, so it was hard to find an excuse to slip away.So he hurriedly saluted Dong Rong and made up his mind that today he would just start writing and not speak.

Da Zong knew what was going on in his heart, so he naturally ignored the little thoughts of the two of them.

Da Zongzheng cleared his throat and asked, "Mr. Dong, some people sued you that when you returned to the capital that day, you stayed in a small house fifteen miles away from the city the night before." Town, at that time the shopkeeper and the clerk of the inn were insulted by you for not serving them well, and when you left the next day, you even ordered your subordinates to kill the innkeeper and the clerk. Are you guilty?"

Dong Rong's eyes flashed sharply, and she slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and said, "Master Zongzheng, do you usually order the servant to take his life because he didn't serve him well?"

"Of course not!" Dazong retorted immediately, then frowned and scolded, "Dong, don't confuse the question, answer quickly."

"Since Mr. Zongzheng can't, then I can't." Dong Rong sneered, "Although the prince and I don't live in the capital for a long time, you can ask the people in the capital, how many people have not received the care of our palace? Not to mention donating cotton clothes and quilts in winter, and applying medicine in summer, even in the Xiaoyi Garden outside the city, there are still more than [-] orphans and widows living. Let me ask, if the prince and I don’t have kind thoughts in our hearts, how can we care about the people life or death?"

After saying this, without mentioning anyone else, the two recording assistants nodded their heads first, but then quickly bowed their heads when they remembered their previous plan.

Dong Rong ignored Da Zongzheng, who had a bad face, and continued, "So, Master Zongzheng said that I ordered the murder because the innkeeper and the waiter were not good enough. , Is it instigated by others to frame me is the business."

Da Zong was picking up the herbal tea in his hand, and drank it in one gulp. His mind turned and persuaded countless times, and then he said again, "The duty of the Zongzheng Mansion is to restrain and punish the royal family so as not to oppress the common people. Don't take chances, Mrs. Dong. Just confess your crimes. Zhongshan Wanggui is the first-rank prince of Daqi, so you don’t have much guilt if you order the killing of two people, just pay more money to compensate. Otherwise, once this case is reported to the palace, the emperor will With His Majesty's disposition of jealousy and enmity, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
