poisonous woman

Chapter 463
An osmanthus flower petal was blown to Qiushui's shoulder with the breeze. The osmanthus flower was pure and white, but it was not as fair as Qiushui's face.

Rong Zhao squinted at her and said, "Don't make it up to me, what's going on, just finish it all at once."

Qiu Shui pursed his lips, and continued: "Although the little actor is suspected, he has not pleaded guilty at all. Lord Duan does not want to wrong people, and wants to investigate clearly and clearly."

Rong Zhao nodded, Duan Chong is a good investigator, so I feel relieved to entrust this matter to him.Besides, homicide is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be investigated clearly.But this is a matter of the government, so what does it have to do with her?
Rong Zhao looked at Qiushui, waiting for her to continue.

Qiu Shui hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just the Xia family." She raised her eyelids and stared at Rong Zhao, "It's just that the Xia family is fighting for power, and it's a bit of a mess. It's embarrassing to be entangled with Mr. Duan endlessly."

Rong Zhao's face darkened, "Xia's family? Why are you messing around with his family?"

"It's because they are confused, they want to convict that little actor right now."

Rong Zhao shook the handkerchief fiercely, and said sullenly: "Confused, I don't think they are confused, foxes can pretend to be tigers, and they dare to act wild in the official palace relying on the power of the palace. Is it because I gave them the courage?"

Qiu Shui hastily poured a cup of tea for her, "Miss calm down, it's not worth it for that foolish screwdriver."

Rong Zhao picked up the cup and put it down heavily on the table, "I don't care if they do that, but I don't want to rely on them relying on our family. The good reputation I have accumulated over the years must not be made by them. destroyed."

Angry Rong Zhao was furious, waving his handkerchief to fan the wind, "Go, get the Xia family back to me, and say that the government will deal with it yourself, and it's not their turn to act wild there. If you don't listen, you can directly arrest them." Removing your name from the palace will save you from getting involved with our palace."

Qiu Shui responded again and again, "Yes, I will go now, servant girl, don't get angry."

Qiu Shui had just walked a few steps, when Rong Zhao called her back again, "If you ask Yeying to go to Mrs. Duan again, just tell me what you said, you must check it out, and you can't wrong him. If the Xia family If you want to make trouble with him, just go back and forth with me. Also, send me the Xia family couple, they were considered good people in the past, but now they are so arrogant, I don't know."

Later, the Xia family couple came to see Rongzhao. Seeing that they were suffering from the loss of their daughter, Rongzhao couldn't bear it. He didn't say anything deeply, but just reprimanded them and warned them not to go to the government to make trouble.He also gave them 50 taels of silver as compensation for Wen'er's funeral.

The two of the Xia family are honest and honest, this time they are really confused, they were reprimanded by the princess, and they dare not cause trouble again.

Rong Zhao also used this to warn the whole of the Chu Palace that no one should rely on the Chu Palace to act arrogantly and domineeringly outside. Once found out, they will be expelled from the Palace immediately.

Within two days, Duan Chong investigated the matter clearly, the little actor was really wronged, and the real culprit was actually his cousin.If someone hadn't seen his cousin returning to the village that night at the ferry, he would have been fooled by him.They also found flakes of flesh on Wen'er's fingernails, and it was deduced that they were scratched by the murderer while struggling. There was no scar on the actor's body, but there were several long bloodstains on his cousin's arm, which were still new. Then Wen'er's gold and silver were found.After several arguments, it was confirmed that the butcher was the real murderer.

According to the murderer, he originally wanted to come back the next day, but the business talks went well, so he went back that night.When he returned, the actor was already drunk and unconscious, while Wen'er sat in the woodshed and wept sadly.

Seeing that Wen'er is so pitiful, he feels charming in his heart, and wants to get close to her, but Wen'er refuses.And because he drank some wine at night, he was confused for a while, so he forced Wen'er.

When the matter was over, Wen'er cried even more, and wanted to sue him at the government. He was afraid, so he kept doing it, killed her, and stole all the treasures that Wen'er took with him when he left.

The murderer was sentenced to be executed after the fall, which is to comfort Wen'er's spirit in heaven, and to explain a lot to the Xia family couple.

But even if the murderer subdue the law, the pain of losing their daughter could not be healed. The Xia family and his wife regretted it very much. If they had known today, Wen'er and Xizi would have been fulfilled that day, and they would not have fallen into such a tragic situation.

I really knew today, why bother?

Rong Zhao sighed, and Qiu Shui brought her a cup of warm tea, "As the saying goes, a man is afraid of entering the wrong line of work, and a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man. Wen'er is pitiful, but if she sticks to her duty and doesn't get involved with little opera actors, she won't get involved." It will happen."

Although this is said coldly, it is also true.If Wen'er lives in peace, when she grows up, marrying out or having a housekeeper or servant in the mansion is no worse than being an actor.

Apart from being good-looking, the opera singer has no other advantages. After leaving the opera troupe, whether she can support her is even a question.

"Let Steward Xia and his mother-in-law not have to wait in the mansion for a few days, and it won't be too late to come after the cooking is done."

Qiu Shui glanced at Rong Zhao, smiled and said, "Miss is really kind."

Rong Zhao took a few sips of tea, held it in his hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Kindhearted? You're flattering me." She raised her eyebrows, and changed the subject, "Have you found all the people I asked you to find?"

Qiu Shui avoided the left and right and asked them to retreat, Fang whispered: "It's all done, do you want to see Miss?"

With a deep smile on Rong Zhao's face, he picked up a tamarind and put it in his mouth, "How can someone who honors the Queen Mother be blind? If it's not good, I dare not give it to her." Glance, "Tomorrow you arrange a hidden place, I'll take a look."

The tamarind is sour with sweetness, and it has an endless aftertaste in the mouth.The smile on the corner of Rong Zhao's mouth slowly twitched, and cracked ice appeared on his face.

Through the heavy curtain, Rong Zhao opened a gap, and his eyes swept over the faces and bodies of the ten men standing behind the curtain.

"How about Miss, are you satisfied?"

Rong Zhao put down the curtain, looked at Qiushui, "You have done a good job this time, I will definitely reward you well."

This just feels good, Qiu Shui smiled, "How can I do something for the young lady? I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the young lady's eyes."

"It doesn't matter if you can get into my eyes or not, as long as you can get into the Queen Mother's eyes." Rong Zhao took another look and took a closer look.These ten men are of different types, some are tall and tall, some have a jade-like face, some are delicate and handsome, and some are frivolous and flirtatious.

"Have you made it clear to them? I am going to serve the Queen Mother in the palace." Rong Zhao asked.

Qiu Shui nodded, "To be clear, they all want to enter the palace. They will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth after entering the palace. They can't wait to sharpen their heads and go in to serve them. It's better than serving those disgusting things in the barn .”

These ten people are young men who Qiu Shui spent half a year searching for in Goulan in various parts of Bashu.

Qiu Shui saw that Rong Zhao was not interested in watching again, so she asked the ten men to be led down, and she helped Rong Zhao out of the hall, "Miss, is it reliable to buy that eunuch, will you tell us that we sent him to the palace?" people?"

Rong Zhao looked at her, smiled, and said: "People are unreliable, but it is because he is unreliable that I bought him. In the eyes of this kind of people, everything else is empty, only money and power are the most important Yes. I gave him money, he got benefits, and he gave people to Liu Fuxin. If he got her favor, he would definitely get benefits too. He was running so hard that he wanted to take it all. Besides, I didn't bribe him in the name of Princess Chu, who he would confess to."

The eunuch that Rong Zhao bought was the one who provided her male pet in the previous life, and it would be most appropriate to use him to give Liu Fuxin a male pet.

Since in her previous life, she was only able to raise male pets and was not tolerated by the world, then Liu Fuxin in this life is even worse than her. She wanted to see what would happen to a queen mother who kept male pets in captivity and allowed her natal family to do evil. Arouse the anger of the people?
It was only in the fifth year when she became empress dowager that Xiao Junjue started to rebel, and it took another three years to break into the palace.This adds up to eight years, but now eight years is too long for her, she doesn't want to just wait here indefinitely, at least she has to do something to speed up the demise of Xiao Yuheng and Liu Fuxin.

Rong Zhao told Qiu Shui, "Don't let the prince know about this."

She knew that Xiao Junjue didn't like her mixing in these things.

Qiu Shui was worried, "What if the prince finds out one day?" Because of this matter, she also hid it from Yeying.

Rong Zhaoxuan raised his eyebrows and didn't take it seriously, "So what if I know? What else can he do to me?" Just keep it from him if you can.

Qiu Shui held up the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Of course not, how could the prince have the guts? Every day, thousands of pets and pets can't be hurt."

Rong Zhao pretended to slap her, "Speak up. It's a serious matter to finish the job I gave you. Don't just play tricks here. I'll send them there today. If I wait another day, I feel uneasy and don't care about it." I know how many people can stay out of ten."

She knew that Liu Fuxin was favored by men in private, and she heard that the most favored one now is a commander of the imperial army named Sang.It's just that she really can't tell what kind of man she likes to raise.

"These are all carefully selected by the slaves one after another. The top ten people will definitely be liked by the Queen Mother." Qiu Shui was very active. , can also like another.

With Qiu Shui's words, Rong Zhao's heart was relieved, and he helped the hairpin on his sideburns, "It's hard to be free today, why don't you go shopping with me on the street, my lord yesterday Let someone send a message first, saying that I will be back tomorrow, I will go to Zui Qingfeng to book a table, and let them deliver it to the mansion tomorrow, so that the prince can meet the wind."

Qiu Shui nodded, helped Rong Zhao out of the small courtyard, and rushed to the market. When he was about to leave the door, he looked around and checked that no one got into the carriage.
