Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 256

Hua Xiaoqiao frowned and didn't understand what Zhu Qilin meant by saying this: "But what do you say has anything to do with the matter in front of you?"

She didn't understand that she had met Prime Minister Pang before and knew that Prime Minister Pang was still a very good person, how she was involved in such a matter now, and she felt that Prime Minister Pang didn't seem like a person who could do anything bad.

Zhu Qilin stopped suddenly, and they had already reached the middle of the garden, and there was no one around and it was very quiet.

He lowered his voice and said: "It's a bit strange to say this matter. Many flowers and plants in the palace are actually taken from various flower gardens. After all, the masters in the palace can't grow any flowers and plants. Most of them are paid tribute by us. , but something went wrong here, and I don’t know what happened. This time, all the flowers and plants that paid tribute died suddenly. Prime Minister Pang was investigating this matter and heard that the emperor was very angry, so he arrested everyone Xiao Qiao, what should you do about this matter? I heard that you did something with Prime Minister Pang before, can you go and find out some news for us? My father has been there for a few days and there is no news yet. I'm really worried that something will happen to my father."

Hua Xiaoqiao said comforting words: "Don't worry, you can rest assured that nothing will happen. I will help you ask this time when I go back."

Now that Zhu Qilin has already said that no matter it is for anyone, he must ask what is going on with this matter. The shopkeeper Zhu is good and treats her very well. She doesn't want to see things happen to the shopkeeper Zhu. The shopkeeper is very nice, she still hopes that everyone can come out safe and sound.

She didn't stay in Zhu's house for a long time, but left Zhu's house early and returned to the city.

She was hesitating how to find Prime Minister Pang. You must know that the prime minister's official position is really great. Even if she wanted to find it, she couldn't act rashly. Pang Peng found her when she was hesitating.

Pang Peng found her in the store with a worried face. Today, Pang Peng is wearing a white robe, the white jade crown on his head is a little crooked and there is dust on the clothes. She has never seen Pang Peng like this before, so she can't help but feel worried.

She invited Pang Peng to the store and asked Pang Peng to sit down. Before he had time to make tea, Pang Peng said, "Xiao Qiao, you must help me this time. My father doesn't know what's going on. It's not normal, I'm worried about my father..."

Thinking of the shopkeeper Zhu being arrested and that Prime Minister Pang is not normal now, she also became worried: "What's going on? I also heard that something happened to the weighing recently. You also know that I went home a few days ago and I just came back. I just feel that the business in my store is not good, I didn’t expect it to become like this now, tell me what’s going on.”

She was very anxious, but with a steady mind, she thought of another result, that she might be able to know what happened to the shopkeeper without going to the prime minister's mansion.

Pang Peng swallowed his saliva, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao seriously, and said, "How should I tell you about the matter? It's a long story to tell, but fortunately, I understand the whole story."

Hua Xiaoqiao patiently listened to Pang Peng's narration. Pang Peng didn't look like a playboy at all, but he became a filial son who worried about his father. Time can actually be cultivated.

Pang Peng glanced at Huang Lingxi, Huang Lingxi immediately understood what Pang Peng meant and said, "I still have something to do and you may have to wait a while before coming back."

After Huang Lingxi left, Pang Peng took a deep breath: "The matter started half a month ago. The specific matter is that the emperor was very angry when he saw the disastrous failure of the flowers in the imperial garden. You also know that the recent border wars are not going well. Even Many defeats are due to the fact that the emperor has always been in a bad mood. He originally wanted to go to the imperial garden to relax, but he did not expect to see the ruined flowers and plants in the middle of the imperial garden. How could the emperor feel better under such a situation, so the emperor When I got angry, it happened that my father was on the sidelines. I was worried that many innocent people would be hurt, so I asked myself to help thoroughly investigate this matter. Fortunately, the emperor handed this matter over to my father. My father started to investigate and found that I don't know where the ultimate source of these flowers and plants is. After all, you must know that the flower garden outside is also sending flowers and plants to the palace, so if you can't trace the source, my father can only temporarily invite a few bosses from outside the city. The few masters I have learned, the more I investigate and learn, the more I can feel the unusualness of this incident. My father said that someone deliberately sabotaged it, but my father didn't understand who actually wanted to do something to these insignificant flowers and plants. Joe, you know these things better, can you help my dad look it up."

This matter is of great importance, Hua Xiaoqiao naturally did not dare to agree casually, frowned and looked at Pang Peng worriedly and said: "Why didn't your father come to me about this matter? He knows that I have researched on these things."

"My father doesn't want to involve you. After all, you have to know that the emperor is very angry now because it's easy to relate to the emperor... I don't know how to tell you about some things. I came to you because I was afraid of what happened to my father. I know that I may be a little selfish in doing this, you have to believe that I am not forced to and I will not think of coming to you."

He was very worried that Hua Xiaoqiao was thinking wildly because there was no turning point in this matter and he would not look for Hua Xiaoqiao, and he knew that his father cared about this matter very much.

Hua Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and didn't take it to heart, but it was very heavy: "I don't know how to promise you, can you take me to see your father?"

She had to hear it from Prime Minister Pang before she could fully believe it, not because she didn't believe Pang Peng, but because Pang Peng was concerned about it and she was worried that she would miss something important.

Seeing that Hua Xiaoqiao agreed and didn't get angry, Pang Peng didn't know how happy he was: "Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter, and I will take you to see my father now."

Hua Xiaoqiao hurriedly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion after Huang Lingxi came back. She has been busy running from morning to now, and because she was thinking about this matter in her heart, she seemed a little heavy. Pang Peng tried his best to ease each other. atmosphere in between.

Hua Xiaoqiao was thinking about things in her heart and always didn't know how to speak: "Don't worry too much. If I can help, I will definitely help. In fact, if you don't come to me, I will go to your father. You know me too. Most of the store's business is from flower gardens outside the city. Now that several bosses have been arrested, I don't have any business now. Besides, Zhu Qilin, the son of the storekeeper, also begged me to inquire about the news. I think about the flowers and plants, maybe I can Help, but there's nothing I can do if something else is really involved."

The stream she has space can help the flowers and plants grow again, so she wants to do her best.

When we arrived at the prime minister's mansion, we had Pang Peng leading the way. Things went a lot smoother, and we met the prime minister very smoothly. As Pang Peng said, the prime minister is now very worried that the whole person is frowning. The time of the early court has passed. Qiao's arrival surprised Prime Minister Pang.

Pang Peng walked in front and led the way and was very excited when he entered the house: "Father, I brought Miss Hua."

As soon as Prime Minister Pang looked up, he saw Hua Xiaoqiao saluting, and he immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "Miss Hua, if you come here, you won't want to give up the ceremony. You have to sit down quickly. I have something to ask you. Come and take care of the palace." Bring in two pots of flowers and plants from the garden for Miss Hua to check, Miss Hua, it's really great that you can come, maybe only you can help me with this matter."

He also happened to think that Hua Xiaoqiao could help, but he didn't expect that when he thought of Hua Xiaoqiao, Hua Xiaoqiao would appear in front of him. This feeling was like picking up money suddenly, and he was pleasantly surprised.

He glanced at Pang Peng and praised with satisfaction: "At least you did a good deed."

Pang Peng smiled foolishly. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had not been praised by his father, so he looked at Prime Minister Pang with a foolish smile.

Hua Xiaoqiao can be regarded as someone who has experienced everything.

Prime Minister Pang personally poured Hua Xiaoqiao a cup of tea: "How much do you know about Miss Hua?"

Hua Xiaoqiao was honest and dared not be negligent: "I don't know much about this matter, probably Pang Peng has already told me."

Prime Minister Pang looked at the door just in time to see a servant girl coming with two pots of flowers. Hua Xiaoqiao frowned when she saw the withered flowers in the pots: "The peonies and peonies should have a good growth rate before, but all of a sudden It should have taken a few days for it to become like this?"

She herself was not very sure that Pang Peng said that the incident happened half a month ago, and if these peonies were going to wither in half a month, they might all have withered.

The prime minister heard what Hua Xiaoqiao said and explained: "This is not the first batch of withered flowers and plants. The previous flowers and plants have already died. These are all withered in the past day or two, and they were all sent from outside the palace. Of course those who came in were also from the palace."

The prime minister paused for a moment, frowned, and continued: "I'm a little unclear about this matter. This is completely different from the situation I encountered before. Recently, I have been busy with official duties and investigated this matter when I have free time. But Because the emperor personally knew about this matter, I didn't dare to neglect it. Naturally, I was very anxious to deal with it as soon as possible, but you can see that it is impossible to deal with it in a hurry. Hey, I don't know what happened to the palace. Why did it happen? It’s really worrying for something like this to happen.”

He sighed deeply, not knowing what to say next.

Hua Xiaoqiao stepped forward to caress the petals of the flowerpot on the table, but the petals fell off as soon as her fingertips touched them. The pain in her heart seemed to feel the pain of the petals. She was surprised to see Not far away, Prime Minister Pang and his son.

"The flower is poisoned."

She didn't know why she blurted out such words, it was just because she had such a feeling in her heart, as if she knew everything without saying anything.

"Poisoning? What's going on here, Xiao Qiao, please explain clearly why I don't understand?"

However, Prime Minister Pang was very careful about anything related to poison, not to mention that this matter happened in the palace, so he was even more cautious, and he was afraid of making a little mistake.

Hua Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and stroked another pot of peonies very seriously. The same feeling made her body tremble.As if she could see smiling particles floating in the air, she saw a faint mist slowly drifting out from the flowers.

"This flower is definitely poisoned. The water used to water the flower is poisonous. You can see that the leaves of this flower, especially the lower ones, haven't fallen off at all, but the upper flowers and the few leaves on the upper part have gradually withered. It should be watered. There is a problem with the water for the flowers, and since it is a large area of ​​death, I believe in my guess even more, the most important thing now is to find out where the water is taken from."

She is very scared now and doesn't know why she just has a feeling of lingering fear. She hasn't felt this way for a long, long time. Now such an impulse is hitting her little by little, making her unable to calm down.

Prime Minister Pang never thought of the water for watering the flowers, so he called someone who knew about it. Now the three people in the room are very nervous. Everyone is thinking about things with their heads down. Hua Xiaoqiao keeps watching Looking at the flowers in front of me, I feel distressed when I look at such a gorgeous flower. Such a beautiful flower should have withered naturally, but I didn't expect it to become like this. It is really a pity.

After a long silence, Prime Minister Pang asked with some uncertainty: "Miss Hua, if the flower is caused by a problem with the water used to water the flower, then who would do such a thing?"

He didn't know why he asked Hua Xiaoqiao, but he instinctively wanted to hear what Hua Xiaoqiao meant.

Naturally, she dare not talk about such things casually, even if Hua Xiaoqiao has something in her mind, she dare not say it: "This matter is really uncertain, how can I guess casually if I haven't seen the situation at the scene?" , Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter during the investigation?"

The prime minister felt that he still underestimated Hua Xiaoqiao. From the first day he knew Hua Xiaoqiao, he felt that Hua Xiaoqiao was not simple, but now that he saw Hua Xiaoqiao, he felt that Hua Xiaoqiao was not what he saw in front of him.

He frowned and thought deeply: "I don't know how to deal with this matter. There are too many twists and turns in the matter. If it is true, I think this matter should be done deliberately. I still need to investigate the specifics. Just wait for a while, I have already asked someone to find someone who knows about this matter, if you have anything to say later, just ask and don’t worry.”

Hua Xiaoqiao knew that she had fallen in and it was impossible to get out, so she sighed slightly in her heart and could only bite the bullet.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the servant girl came in with a father-in-law wearing a palace uniform, and the father-in-law saluted the prime minister. The prime minister did not tell the father-in-law to sit down, but said to him: "Lady Huihua will ask you some questions later, you will know about it Tell them all, you know?"

The father-in-law lowered his head and lowered his hands in respectful agreement.
