Princess Fuyao

Chapter 76 Murder
In the past few days, the king of Zhenbei wanted to clean up the lotus pond at home. At very late in the evening, coolies in short clothes, all dirty, came in and out of the side door, pushing cart after cart of smelly black mud with a wheelbarrow.The king of Zhenbei also knew that the soil tasted bad, so he specially chose it in the evening when there were few people on the street.

The stinky mud has been sent to the farm of the palace outside the city. This is the best fertilizer. The head of the farm is directing from the ground, followed by a few kids watching the fun.

Everything seems so natural.

Before the gates of the city were closed, the last sludge transporter put his tricycle into the field and asked the farmer to boil hot water and wash it from head to toe before he put on clean clothes and left. Into the twilight.

An old hen belonging to Mrs. Zhuangtou was missing. She croaked and searched for the field outside the small village. Suddenly, she heard a scream and saw a group of coolies surrounded by locust-like arrowheads. , Someone was shot by an arrow, someone waved his clothes, pushed aside the arrowhead, and rushed to a safe place. A figure flashed out of the bushes on one side, chasing and killing the few survivors.

A big knife, flashing a dazzling silver light, slashed at a survivor. The Zhuangtou lady saw the head flying high, and there was a fountain of hot blood gushing out, which seemed to redden half of the sky in the west.

Zhuangtou's wife passed out on the ground.

Zhuangtou and his wife fled here and sold themselves as slaves as a last resort. After decades of hard work, he finally became the Zhuangtou of this small farm. Now he can wear gold and silver to support his son to study, and his life is very good.It's just that the couple's habit of being frugal to the point of being stingy couldn't be easily changed. The wife raises about [-] chickens and collects more than a dozen eggs every day. The sons eat whatever they want, but the couple are reluctant to taste it.

For a chicken, his wife searched all over the village. Zhuangtou suspected that the coolies stole the chicken. He felt sorry for his wife and wanted to call her back. As a result, he also saw the last scene of the killing.

Surrounded by the encirclement, the three men committed suicide in despair and stood back to back in death, refusing to fall.

Zhuangtou bribed the soldiers guarding the gate, and rushed into the Zhenbei Palace in the dark.He intuitively felt that these people were not simple coolies, they should be people related to the prince.

Liang Bingwang was stunned by the news. He thought this trick was ingeniously designed, but in the eyes of his opponent, it was as childish and ridiculous as a child playing house. He not only saw through it, but also made sufficient preparations. .

Zhuangtou was taken out by his followers, and Liang Bingwang angrily smashed a table of exquisite porcelain.

Isn't Guo Chengbo not here?Who is his opponent in the capital?After working hard for more than ten years, is it possible that he is really going to be finished like this?
Do not!Do not!Liang Bingwang screamed in his heart, he must have a way, a way to get out of the current predicament.

Qin's mother was brought here, ever since she heard that Nanny Ye twisted her waist and was taken to Zhuangzi by a man to recuperate, she felt very uncomfortable.

Why did she remind her repeatedly that day, insisting that she listened to what the little eunuch said?At that time, I thought it was nothing, but now, the more Qin Ma thought about it, the more afraid she became.

She had a bit of resentment for a while, because Mrs. Wang has always been in power next to the princess. She finally put a piece of rotten meat in the soup that Mrs. Wang drank, so that this guy had diarrhea and couldn't get up. If so, put yourself on it?
At this moment, Qin's mother didn't have time to think about it at all, and honestly answered the prince according to Ye Momo's words: "I heard it from a little eunuch named San'er. That little eunuch has beautiful features, and he has two dimples when he smiles." , handsome like a girl, he gave us a plate of small snacks, like steamed buns the size of fingernails, tasted fruity, he told me, and told me, his name is San'er , let me remember and don’t make mistakes.”

Because of fear, Qin's mother cried while talking, and when Liang Bingwang saw it, her feeling changed completely, thinking that she felt wronged.

San'er, the emperor will follow, recently there is a little eunuch who is favored, isn't he called San'er?With delicate features and two dimples when she smiles, she is as delicate as a girl.Who is San'er?How could the little eunuch, who couldn't be away from the emperor for a moment, run to the concierge to deliver tea and snacks to a few humble servants?
"lie!"

"I'm not lying, my lord. If you don't believe me, I can confront you. I can recognize the bones of that little eunuch. His mouth is so sweet." Mother Qin began to kowtow, and her forehead soon became red and swollen. Your family and life are guaranteed, and what you say is the truth." Qin's mother fought hard.

Liang Bingwang's face turned pale for a moment, could it be that these were ordered by the emperor?As soon as this idea popped up, he couldn't hold it down no matter what. His heart felt like falling into an abyss, struggling painfully in the dark, but he seemed even more helpless.Seeing that the master's expression was not right, the attendant dragged Qin's mother and went out. The old lady was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Forgive me, my lord, I woo—" His mouth was blocked, and his voice soon fell silent.

"No, no, no." Liang Bingwang tried his best to convince himself, "It's definitely not the emperor's intention. I was able to bribe Liang Guang back then. Could it be that San'er was not an ambush by his opponent?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was so, and finally he smiled smugly: "Fight with me, you are still young." Thinking of the bigger crisis he encountered more than ten years ago, he not only avoided the danger, but also took advantage of it. Turning over and fulfilling the long-cherished wish that was difficult to achieve, Liang Bingwang clenched his fists fiercely, as if the enemy's life was being held inside.

"This is also a chance." He murmured, "God, bless me with everything, I want to turn things around again."

Liang Bingwang asked someone to prepare a sedan chair. He wanted to enter the palace overnight, but he was stopped outside the palace wall: "The emperor is a little sick today, and has already rested."

He still has a lot of actions, holding candles until late at night, writing eloquent memorials, and then recommending himself to manage the security of the capital.

Guo Chengbo's subordinates were assassinated, and the coolies working in his house also suffered misfortune. This must be someone deliberately destroying the stability of the court.

Although the Great Yong Dynasty looks calm on the surface, there are many crises in the dark. In northern Xinjiang, because the grasslands and deserts have been dry since last winter, those barbarians are facing the threat of starvation. Those bloodshot eyes are staring at my beautiful rivers and mountains.In southern Xinjiang, ever since the appearance of a Tibetan named Yagu, he has gradually unified the tribes as small as villages. Now a town with tens of thousands of people has formed. Giving them titles, and speaking in an attitude of being equal, without the respect that should be given to the upper kingdom, is simply tolerable and unbearable.

Xijiang has never been a place of peace. Fortunately, there is a Taojiang River that roars unruly in summer. The Xiyi people dare not fight over the Taojiang River in winter when the Taojiang River is frozen for three feet, lest they will not be able to retreat in summer and be completely destroyed. It will be reimbursed, but in the past few winters, they have come in to loot wantonly. Now, the wealthy east bank of the Tao River has become an uninhabited no-man's land.

These external unfavorable factors have caused some people in the country to move around. They want to confuse people's hearts and fish in troubled waters.

Emperor Jiaming listened to Liang Bingwang's eloquent talk in the court hall, and was a little stunned for a moment. In the morning, Lord Mao Guo and Guo Chenghai said, was it the killers who were killed a while ago?Why was the short-term worker of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion killed?

Those who went to the capital to do part-time jobs lived in the outer cities and suburbs. So many people were killed, why did no one complain?

However, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment said that these people had rough hands and were coolies, and they were definitely not killers who drew bows and shot arrows. Their thumbs did not have calluses that are unique to archers.

Liang Bingwang and Guo Chenghai confronted each other, each saying their own reasons, and even Emperor Jiaming didn't know what to do for a while.

"This matter must be investigated to find out the truth." The emperor gave a decree to the Minister of Dali Temple, Hong Minghua looked solemn, the responsibility of this case was too great, and his heart was heavy.

Although Fuyao was sure that the dead must be those killers, but a lot can be changed in a month, first of all, the calluses on these people's thumbs.If the hard skin is cut off, one month is enough to get rid of the calluses. Besides, seeing that their thumbs are obviously more delicate than other places, they must have used some ointment. My lord brings such trouble, I feel uneasy.

"Miss Ji, I believe what you said is the truth, don't be so depressed, now you want to grab the fox by the tail and beat them hard, so that they will die completely, instead of worrying about gain and loss with a sad face, what's the trouble for me? I There are already enough troubles, so much that I don't even know what it is, and it doesn't matter if I add another one."

Fuyao saw Guo Xiangye, who was completely different from General Guo, full of elegance and wisdom, and was very grateful for his support.

Ever since that morning when Zhenbei Palace started to clean up the pond, Fuyao knew that his plan had been launched. Duke Mao Guo had no idea, but he didn't know how to attract Guo Chenghai. After hearing Fuyao's statement, Mr. Guo immediately Take it all.

Fuyao was not so naive as to hunt down this group of killers and bring down Liang Bingwang. Guo Chenghai saw that the little girl was quite mature in thinking, had a rigorous plan and enough reasons, so he made up his mind for her: "Just do it, put the lid on!" If it is uncovered, perhaps the evidence of Liang Bingwang defecting to the enemy and traitorous country will be discovered sooner. Your existence is no longer a secret."

He pondered for a while: "Do you want me to help?" After all, the plan involved nobles in the palace. Does Fuyao have such connections?
Of course Liang Mingrui helped to complete that part, but Fuyao didn't dare to say it at this time, so he could only shake his head: "The manpower has been arranged."
