My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 39

In the courtyard of Lingxuan, wintersweet is proud, the pale yellow plum blossoms are blooming, and the thin snow is pressed on the branches of plum blossoms. Birds occasionally fly by in the blue sky, leaving two or three chirping sounds, which is very clean.

The door of the room was open, and Wan Qixiao sat upright on his knees, patiently boiling tea in the small stove, very devoted.On the side, Yunxia chattered and reported the court's movements that she had inquired about in the past few days.From the downfall of the Zuo family and being ransacked to the empress dowager being forcibly sent to the Huang’en Temple to serve the Buddha and pray for blessings all his life, and finally he talked about how Mr. Aofeng, who is both a dragon and a phoenix, would vigorously investigate the Zuo family as soon as he took office, and how he would cleanse the court of corrupt officials with an iron fist How to reform the national law and rectify the administration of officials... Yunxia said happily, her eyes filled with admiration.

Rao Yunxia spoke in a wild way, but Wan Qixiao just quietly looked at the tea leaves on the fire, not thinking about it at all.Her thoughts had already flown to Yunshang, the child prostitute she met in Yuhuafang a month ago.What she still couldn't figure out was...why did Yunshang target Zuo Qianhong?
At first she thought it was a conflict between the court and the court, but after these days of vicissitudes and the elimination of the Zuo family, the political situation of the entire court is now becoming more and more stable, and there is no unexpected movement at all during the period.In other words, the target of this child molestation Yunshang should not be the court.However, if it wasn't for the imperial court, why did he target Zuo Qianhong, the court order official?Moreover, the criminal evidence must be delivered by the third hand, which is obviously avoiding any serious relationship.What is he trying to avoid?

Wan Qixiao frowned and thought hard, sorting out every detail of this matter from the beginning.

If it is not related to the court, it is mostly because of personal reasons.Personal grievances are nothing more than internal emotional grievances and external property involvement.That is to say, either because Yun Shang and Zuo Qianhong have a deep hatred; or because Zuo Qianhong has some treasure that Yun Shang covets.Judging from Yun Shang's performance that day, the possibility of the former is very small.Excitement flashed across Wan Chengxiao's eyes.Finally caught this little fox's tail!

Zuo Qianhong was probably targeted by Yun Shang because of some treasure.If everyone is innocent and pregnant with jade, Zuo Qianhong must have obtained some rare treasure, which has attracted a group of wolves to covet him.

With that said, everything works!Most likely Zuo Qianhong got some rare treasure, which attracted countless people to covet, and that Yunshang was one of the coveters.Yun Shang only targeted Zuo Qianhong, so he borrowed the third hand to pass on the criminal evidence, and the stake he wanted to avoid should be the Zuo family.That is to say, Zuo Qianhong was the only one he wanted to kill, but he followed the principle of people not fighting officials, considering that if he killed Zuo Qianhong head-on, he would offend Zuo Xiang and attract the Zuo family to hunt him down, so He desperately needed a scapegoat, and he just appeared at that time, so there was the scene where they met.

That's it!

Wan Qixiao sneered, I'm afraid that Yun Shang even pretended to be a child prostitute in order to get close to Zuo Qianhong!If you go to Yuhuafang again now, the news you get must be that Yunshang was recently redeemed by a benefactor!
Wan Chengxiao immediately threw away the tea set and stood up: "Yunxia, ​​I want to go out of the palace privately, and you still stay to support the palace."

Yunxia stopped her chattering mouth, and then realized that the master didn't listen to her words at all, she couldn't help but pouted her mouth, and replied unhappily: "Yes, ma'am."

Wan Chengxiao slapped her on the forehead and made fun of her: "Are you so obsessed with the Prime Minister? See how you praise him. There is nothing in the sky."

Yunxia's face turned red, she stomped her feet, and coquettishly argued, "That's not the case! Your Excellency is really amazing!" She turned around and ran to pack things for Wan Qixiao to leave the palace.Wan Qixiao shook his head and laughed, typical little girl worship.

An hour later.

Wan Qixiao went out of the palace and went straight to Yuhuafang. When he asked, it turned out that Yunshang was redeemed the day after Zuo's accident.I asked where I went, but no one could tell me clearly.

Now Wan Chengxiao confirmed what he thought even more, and didn't say much at the moment, and went to Zuo Xiang's mansion after asking the way all the way.

The Zuo family was being ransacked for the past two days, and a set of jade and antiques was seized. Everyone was amazed to see it.

When Wan Chengxiao arrived, the ransacking of Zuo's house was coming to an end. A fat middle-aged man was gesticulating at the gate, commanding the guards to move things out.

Wan Chengxiao walked over and patted him on the shoulder from behind, but was thrown away by the man, and then the goldfish stared over: "Bold..."

Before he finished speaking, Wan Qixiao stuck a golden token of the imperial palace in front of his face. In order to see the token clearly, the fat man's eyes suddenly became cross-eyed. His angry face turned into a smile, flattering like a flower, hehe said straightly: "It turns out that the lord from the palace came to supervise! Your lord has worked hard! Sit down, sit down!"

The enthusiasm in the words made Wan Chengxiao a little overwhelmed, put on a business face, and said coldly: "How is the search going? Is there any suspicious person mixed in?"

"Hey, look at what your lord said! My lord is doing business, please rest assured! It is impossible to let suspicious people enter and interfere, right? Let alone a human, even a dog, don't even think about getting in!" Fatty The goldfish's eyes were wide open, and the mustache on its mouth was raised up and down when it spoke.

While he was selling his boasting room, he heard laughter from the surrounding people, and saw that the gate of the Zuo Mansion was not closed, and a big yellow dog ran out of it, biting a broken shoe and sprinted away.

Wan Chengxiao looked at the back of the yellow dog running away, then turned to look at the fat official, his eyes were so sinister that people felt chills in his heart.

The fat official shivered in fright, and immediately shrank his neck, his whole body seemed to be much shorter.He murmured: "I didn't have it before..."

"I'll go in and have a look." Wan Qixiao raised his legs and strode into Zuofu.

"Hey... my lord, my lord!" The fat official hurried to catch up.While chasing him, he whispered in his heart: The eunuch who came out of the palace!Sissy!The official is not big but has a big temper!He deserves to have no sons and no grandchildren, hum!

Wan Qixiao entered the Zuo Mansion, and the inside was completely changed. The potted plants of all colors in the front yard were crumbling, as if they had been kicked maliciously, and the delicate and huge flowering plants of anti-season peonies in the inner courtyard were picked off by someone and left behind. The fallen petals on the ground bear witness to the rudeness with which they were picked.The valuable gold and jade in the mansion were confiscated as early as the first day, and now all the relatively valuable items such as screens and cabinets are removed.In the lobby, only nails and broken calligraphy and paintings were left in the places where calligraphy and paintings used to be hung, and sawdust and porcelain slag were scattered everywhere on the floor... The bowls and bowls and other worthless and fragmentary things were usually smashed on the spot.
