Chapter 148 Seeing Shen Qi Again
This night, after all, there was no peaceful day.

Originally, Kangxi thought that there was something wrong with that plate of cakes, but after Zhao Yuntian inspected it, he said that most of the almond cakes were poisonous!

In this way, it is not a question of which two princes fight each other, it is someone who wants to murder the emperor...

Or trying to cover up.

The magistrate of Yangzhou presented such a thing, and if he couldn't explain it clearly after investigation, he would lose his head because of it.

Maybe he was the one who died the most unjustly?

Afterwards, they searched here and there, and found out that the rebel party in the Ming Dynasty had poisoned them, which was considered ridiculous.

Whether Kangxi believed it or not, no one knew.

Whether Prince Yinfeng believes it or not, no one knows.

It's just that Lin Jia's end seems to have arrived.

"Snapped!"

Yinfeng lashed Lin Jiashi's body with a whip, "Say, what are you thinking about? Don't think that there is a big matter covered up, and the hall will not be able to see the little thought behind you! It's for no reason. What cakes are you going to give your sister? Tell me!"

As he said that, Yinfeng whipped Lin Jiashi again, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared!
It's just spring, and people's clothes have been reduced, and Lin Jiashi doesn't wear much, let alone indoors?The delicate skin on her body was pulled, and the skin was ripped apart.

Lin Jiashi cried out, but quickly held back, and only sobbed: "The concubine dare not! The concubine really doesn't have any thoughts! Please forgive me, His Royal Highness..."

"How dare you say no! I'll let you say no!" Yinfeng snorted coldly, grabbed Lin Jiashi's hair as he went up, and said, "You know that I've taken a fancy to your third sister. With such a beauty, you You didn't remind me for so many years, you let such a flower stick in the cow dung, and you didn't even think about what kind of virtue you are?!"

Lin Jiashi gritted her teeth in hatred, her silver teeth were about to be crushed.

It's a pity that at this time, she has to be more tolerant.

At the beginning when the fourth elder brother helped her, it was nothing more than seeing her unscrupulous and shameless. In order to get the prince's favor, she deliberately pretended to be sick according to the first fourth elder brother's wishes. The prince likes to fuck women between the beds...

Lin Jiashi felt humiliated when she thought of all of this.

But for the sake of glory and wealth, for the sake of trampling Gu Huaishu under his feet, for the sake of trampling the Crown Princess Shi Shi under his feet, and even for the sake of his mother!

She has to endure it!
"Little bitch, my Highness is here to tell you, don't think about it, I still like your sister..."

Yinfeng stepped on the carved lacquer stool, lifted up Lin Jiashi's sick and pale face with a sneer, and seemed to be very happy, "I still like to see your tearful face...you say you sisters , if they were lying on the bed together and were whipped by the master, or the whip below, what would it be like?"

Lin Jia's heart was cold, but she forced a smile and said: "The crown prince is mighty, the concubine has never thought of anything else... I would like to ask the crown prince to allow the concubine to explain: the purpose of sending cakes to the third sister is to ask her to wait till The crown prince is good, we can talk about serving the crown prince together in the future, the concubine never thought that there would be so many twists and turns... I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship with the third sister..."

When the prince heard it, it was true.

This woman has always been obedient, and Gu Huaixiu is her third sister. Even if the sisters had some quarrels, the blood and family ties cannot be broken, and there cannot be any mortal hatred.

Therefore, what Lin Jiashi said is very likely to be the truth.

Thinking about it, Yinfeng whipped her again before taking off her clothes, "Lie down obediently and don't move..."

He made some moves, but wanted to trample Lin Jiashi because of the scars all over her body.

The crown prince is good at this. Other concubines can't bear it, but Lin Jiashi endured it. She is still the crown prince's favorite kind of sick beauty, so the crown prince gave her the title of side Fujin and doted on her for so many years.

Now the prince sighed comfortably, and said: "Go back and win your sister over, and let her lie on the bed obediently. The wind in Yangzhou is tight these days, and Jiangning will stop for a while. Qinhuai is such a beautiful place. There are plenty of opportunities for you, if you accomplish this, the Lord will reward you well. As for your sister, the Lord promises to give her...the mother's favor in the world."

After finishing speaking, the prince laughed out loud, and at the same time entered Lin Jia's family more and more fiercely.

He completely regarded the person under him as her third sister.

Lin Jiashi was in so much pain that all the tears shed seeped into the brocade quilt.

All of this was given by Gu Huaixiu, without her, there would be no Lin Jiashi today, nor would there be all the humiliation and suffering that Lin Jiashi suffered...

Sooner or later, Gu Huaixiu will "get a taste" of it!
The night in Yangzhou is full of charm and prosperity, but here in Gu Huaishu's place, it is dark.

Zhang Tingyu and the others went out that night to see the scenery of Yangzhou. He went out in a low-clothes, so naturally he couldn't just do things with Kangxi, and he did everything that should be done along the way.

Yangzhou is a place where countless big salt merchants are entrenched, most of them are wealthy merchants, but this time they came, they didn't see many at all.

Zhang Tingyu said that Shen Qi and Luo Xuanwen moved places long before the emperor's royal driver arrived, and now there are only well-behaved salt merchants who do official salt business, and those who do private salt business now transport all the private salt to the opposite side of the river, which is far away from Jiangning. Not far from Dantu Town.

Shen Chao was doing private salt, and Luo Xuanwen was also making huge profits, so the private salt business did not run away.

These two masters are capable people who walk on the tip of their knives and dance. This kind of business is already dangerous, and now they have to fight each other with wits and courage, which is quite capable.

Gu Huaishu was sitting on the recliner, and she also went out to take a look, but since the almond cake incident, she took Fat Brother with her every day.

The plate of almond cakes that day was naturally in the number of ten, and there was no missing piece at all.

The court ladies have strict rules and generally dare not steal food.

That day in front of the emperor, Gu Huaishu was just talking nonsense, and Concubine Yi would naturally cooperate with her in saying the most suitable amount.In this way, the two maids were poisoned to death by the almond cake, and the problem was instantly transferred to the poisonous almond cake.

Without this incident, even if the almond cake is really poisonous, it may not be discovered by people, needless to say, it is not poisonous at all.

As for the subsequent drug test on the residue, why is the almond cake poisonous again...

After such a long time interval, what hands and feet can't be done?

It's just that how the two palace ladies died is a mystery.

Or, those two court ladies are Yifei's people at all.

Later, it was originally to find out who sent the almond cake to the prince, and it was said that a eunuch stopped halfway to talk to the eunuch next to Brother Thirteen.It's a pity that this didn't work out after all...

Concubine Yi will never know what went wrong this time.

She wanted to take advantage of these things to attack the thirteenth elder brother in a roundabout way. Now the thirteenth elder brother is particularly favored, and the limelight is too strong...

It's a pity that Zhao Yuntian from Tai Hospital went to check all the almond cakes, and most of them had problems. In this way, there would be no more problems with Elder Brother Thirteen.

The thirteenth elder brother should have a headache or continue to have a headache. There is no wind blowing. It took about five days before he came out.

As for the magistrate of Yangzhou who offered things, he died in vain, just a scapegoat; as for the rebellious party and rebels who will come out later, it is even more nonsense, and even an unwarranted disaster.

An internal strife in the royal family has been so deeply involved...

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Zhang Tingyu said, "I've been thinking about a question. If Concubine Yi didn't make an appointment with you, or you didn't understand the meaning of Concubine Yi's words, and you got involved in this matter, what should you do?" How to get out?"

Gu Huaishu pressed the center of his brows, but the corners of his eyes slightly raised upwards, looking up at him like this.

"I will ask the imperial physician to cut open the stomachs of the two maids and collect food residues."

Word by word, word by word.

Gu Huaixiu made it very clear.

Zhang Tingyu heard the words, but said: "Fortunately you didn't do that."

If that's the case, it's hard to say what can be detected in the palace maid's stomach.

In the end, who was unlucky at that time, I don't know.

Fortunately, Gu Huaishu was not completely out of ideas, and was led by the nose by Concubine Yi.

At any rate, in the end, Concubine Yi was placed in reverse.

Then the reason why Zhao Yuntian was able to detect the poison in other cakes was because Gu Huaishu secretly mentioned it when he came out?
Zhao Yuntian is Sun Zhiding's disciple, and Sun Zhiding has complied with the letter Sun Lianqiao sent back, and he is going to join the fourth elder brother. Now helping the thirteenth elder brother who belongs to the fourth master's party, couldn't be easier and more natural.

It looks like everything is falling into place.

Only Gu Huaixiu, she sighed: "I am the Eighth Master's Party who helped Concubine Yi. I became an accomplice in plotting against the Prince. Lord Thirteen... what do you think I'm doing?"

"It's about being in the mud, it's about not standing in line, it's about walking on the abyss, it's about stepping on the tip of a knife."

Zhang Tingyu played the flute softly, stopped to say this, and then continued to play.

This turmoil finally calmed down gradually, and no one came to get close to Gu Huaishu, the wife of a fourth-rank official, and now she has nothing to do.

On a boring day, the emperor's fleet suddenly set off. They got on the boat again, continued southward along the canal, crossed the Yangtze River within a day, and arrived at Dantu, a small town at the junction of the canal and the Yangtze River.

At that time, she was still worried about those private salt lords.

Unexpectedly, just after arriving in Dantu, I found that this originally bustling town was actually deserted.

Kangxi sent Zhang Tingyu down to inquire. Zhang Tingyu came back and said that it was a flood in this place, and the people were unbearable and ran away.

When I asked the county magistrate, the county magistrate said that there was no other way, they couldn't hold back the people.

River governance was originally regarded as a top priority by Kangxi, and now when he heard these words, he was furious: "What is the governor of Jiangsu doing for food! I didn't call him Song Luo to come to eat, drink and have fun! The people were displaced. , He actually supervised it one step at a time, in the final analysis, it is the problem of the above! If the river is cured, if the river is cured, why are the people running away!"

Zhang Tingyu easily concealed the matter of the salt owl and private salt.

As for why the people here disappeared, Gu Huaishu also asked Zhang Tingyu when he went ashore in Jiangning, Zhang Tingyu smiled and shook his head, waved his hands, but followed Kangxi in front.

At this time, it was nightfall, and the Jiangning Weaving Mansion was responsible for picking him up.

The team pulled for a long time, but suddenly stopped.

Gu Huaishu was puzzled, and asked the maid beside him, "What's the matter?"

How did the maid know, she just shook her head.

After a while, someone came to pass, saying that everyone should get out of the car and rest in the teahouses on both sides.

Gu Huaishu did not go with Lin Jiashi and the others, but found a remote private room on the second floor by himself, and asked someone to lower the curtain when he came in.

How familiar is Gu Huaishu of Jiangning City?
At a glance, there are countless ships walking on the inland waterway, with beautiful lanterns hanging, and the sound of oars coming and going, and the lights and shadows, still look like the old days.

No matter how people change, the Qinhuai River is still the same, rippling, rippling...

This teahouse is very close to a place where Yingying and Yanyan are in, and the signboard in front of it can be seen from a distance. It is called "Niancuilou".

Gu Huaixiu frowned, and said, "Why did the emperor stop here?"

Because there were a lot of people talking when I got off the car, it was inevitable that some news would come out.

Qing Dai only said in a low voice: "When passing by Dantu ahead, Lord Long Live said that he wanted to punish Mr. Song Luo, governor of Jiangsu Province. He heard that Mr. Song Luo was drinking flower wine over there now, and the emperor wanted to arrest him, so he immediately After going, the people behind did not dare to act without authorization, so they all stopped."

It turned out to be the case.

But Gu Huaixiu just sighed secretly.

I heard that Song Luo is an upright and capable official, and Zhang Tingyu probably only knows what happened in Dantu Town.

Was Song Luo wronged...

Forget it, what does it have to do with yourself?
Gu Huaixiu was thinking, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ai Ziqing who looked familiar. He thought that someone had passed by on the street just now, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

"Let's sit down first."

Now there are only Qingdai and Huamei beside her, and the maids are outside, she asked Huamei to go out to urge people to serve tea, and then pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she was a little sleepy.

But I don't know when the matter here will be finished, Zhang Tingyu should also follow the emperor to arrest people.

What kind of calculation is this?
Just as Gu Huaishu was thinking about it, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, but there were officers and soldiers searching for people on the street. They started their search with Niancuilou as the center, and soon arrived at their teahouse.

"Dong dong dong..."

The footsteps were hurried.

Gu Huaixiu said with a smile: "Could it be that Mr. Song Luo ran away?"

As soon as the words fell, the green cloth curtain moved.

"Thrush, how did you come back—"

The man in Ai Ziqing's long robe stepped in, stood on the left side of the green cloth curtain, glanced obliquely at Gu Huaishou, and only slightly raised his fingers, naturally, even as if he was at himself Just like in my garden, I made a hissing gesture...

Shen Yang!

Gu Huaishu almost dropped his jaw in shock!
Before she could cry out, someone was already outside.

The officers and soldiers went upstairs, just as they were about to search for them, when the maid standing outside heard such a loud noise, she quickly turned her head: "What are you doing?!"

"Searching an important person may be a crime." The officer and soldier said loudly.

The maid took out the card, but said: "The one in it is the wife of Master Zhang, who is on the southern tour of the Lord Long Live, and who is walking in the South Study Room. Don't make mistakes."

The officers and soldiers at the back looked at the waist badge, and then they understood, and they repeatedly apologized and left.

The maids had obviously dealt with such things many times, and they were so calm that they came back to ask Gu Huaishu if he was surprised.

Gu Huaishu took a look at Shen Qi, and said bravely, "It's nothing, you guys just watch over."

Shen Chi's side is safe, the tense feeling on his body disappeared immediately, and he flicked the dust on the non-existent high-quality silk long sleeves before turning around.

This face already had a bit of wind and frost, and the ups and downs of the business world made him even more unpredictable.

But at this moment, he turned his face away and looked at Gu Huaishu with amusement in his eyes.

Master Zhang's wife walking in the south study...
