Chapter 581 Confession(1/2)

Yan Xuehuai thought Mrs. Zhu’s brain circuit was quite interesting.

She said to Dill: "You go and invite Madam Ying and let her go to the reception."

Madam Ying was actually not old, less than forty years old. She was originally a maid in Prince Yu's Mansion. Later, she married a manager in the Prince's Mansion and became a manager. After she went to Beijing with the queen, she stayed in Chaoyang Palace for a while. After Chai Yan opened the mansion, Madam Ying came over and became a manager.

There are more than one nanny in the palace, and two nanny whom the queen sent to him a few days ago. There are now eight nannys, all of whom were from the palace.

There is a reason why Yan Xuehuai invited Madam Ying to come over.

An hour later, the mother of the Zhu family came back.

This woman was Mrs. Zhu's housemate. She was sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed. From the two daughters born by Mr. Zhu's ex-wife to the maids and servants in the mansion, there was no one who was not afraid of the head.

But today, the nanny's eyes were red, like a rabbit. When she saw Mrs. Zhu, she kept kowtowing: "Madam, I almost can't come back to see you..."

After listening to the woman's statement, Mrs. Zhu's face changed.

My mother came to the door to apologize with generous gifts. Not only did she not see the princess, but she also asked a nanny to scold her?

That nanny was not an ordinary reprimanding, it was the Great Wei rule and the palace rules. Even the rules of the royal palace were put forward, and they were both harsh and harsh, scaring the Zhu family's mother to death. Her usual clever tongue disappeared, and her tongue could no longer bend.

"Where is the gift? I've thrown it out?" asked Mrs. Zhu.

"I didn't throw it away, I didn't let it be carried in at all." The old woman was sad and anxious.

Yes, if you accept the gift, it means that Princess Rui has forgiven the Zhu family, and this matter will be overturned. As for the reprimand, it is just a reprimand of an old man, and it is not to be humiliated by others.

But the gift was not allowed to be carried in, and the face was so disgraceful.

Sure enough, there were rumors in the capital the next day that the Zhu family gave a heavy gift to Prince Rui's Mansion to apologize, but Prince Rui's Mansion did not even let the door in.

Now, the whole capital is speculating how the Zhu family will offend Prince Rui’s Mansion?

This guess was answered soon.

Yuweizhai has a good business and many customers. That day, a beautiful girl fell into the water and was rescued by another girl, many people witnessed it with their own eyes.

In fact, someone found out the identities of these two girls at that time, one was Miss Zhu's third lady, and the other was Miss Zhou, the niece of the Duke's wife.

Because both the ones who fell into the water and those who saved people were women, the boss of Yuweizhai did not want to cause trouble, so he asked the people present to show mercy and suppress the matter.

So now, someone has linked these two things.

Miss Zhou is Princess Rui's cousin. It is said that the sisters have a good relationship, and Miss Zhou's younger brother is the companion of the Emperor Changsun.

Immediately afterwards, what Zhou Yun was also present was revealed.

This is interesting. Why did Miss Zhu San fall into the water?

If it was not Miss Zhou, but Young Master Zhou, what would happen to the follow-up of this matter?

For a moment, there was a lot of rumor outside. The queen also heard that Yan Xue was pregnant in the palace. The queen felt sorry for the child in her belly, so she did not call her into the palace and sent Madam Ouyang to ask.

Yan Xuehuai called Madam Ying over and told her all about the day.

The queen was very angry when she heard the truth. No wonder the Zhu family came to the door to apologize. It turned out that Miss Zhu San encountered Princess Rui's head. If it weren't for the person given by Zhou Da's boss beside Princess Rui, then after a collision, my grandson might have been knocked away.

When I heard that Princess Rui was pregnant and was so greedy that she went to the wine shop to satisfy her cravings. The queen was stunned and then made her laugh.

When Madam Ouyang saw the queen laughing, she breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that Princess Rui specifically told her about this before she came back, and it seemed that she wanted to make the queen smile?

"She is really greedy for drinking?" asked the queen.

Madam Ouyang smiled and said, "Princess Rui is a person who doesn't like drinking, but since she is pregnant, her preferences have changed. As long as she thinks of drinking, she will be greedy. I think, Princess Rui's fetus is probably a little princess."

The queen smiled and said, "It is the best to be the emperor's grandson. If it blooms first and then bears fruit, that's fine."

Although the queen happily stopped mentioning this matter, she disliked the women of the Zhu family in her heart.

When Mr. Zhu learned that Mrs. Zhu had just asked an old lady to go to Prince Rui's Mansion, he scolded Mrs. Zhu again.

The daughter hit Princess Rui and asked the woman to apologize. Didn’t she take Princess Rui seriously?

Lord Zhu was very angry. No wonder his daughter did such stupid things. She had the same mother as her daughter. She was not well taught by her mother.

Of course, Mrs. Zhu was not convinced. She had to be in the Zhu family for the past few years, and her husband had never scolded her. Besides, she wanted to discuss marriage with the Zhou family, wasn’t she a husband? If he didn’t say it, how could she and her daughter know that there was a Zhou Yun?

Mrs. Zhu made a big fuss and scratched Mrs. Zhu's face. Her long nails almost reached into Mrs. Zhu's eyes. Mrs. Zhu was furious and beat Mrs. Zhu to the point of bruising and swollen face.

Mrs. Zhu vented her anger on her niece. She felt that what her daughter did was instigated by her niece.

So a few days later, when the cousin went out, he was pulled off his hat in public by a drunkard and touched his face.

Because it was on the street and many people saw it, Mrs. Zhu gave her advice to her sister and married her niece from Beijing and married a small family.

Of course, this is a later story.

Regarding Miss Zhu San, the capital was discussed fiercely for a few days, but Yan Xuehuai ignored it. First, she was unscathed, and second, her goal had been achieved.

No matter how thick the Zhu family is, they will never provoke the Zhou family again.

In this matter, she would not add fuel to the fire. She just wanted to let the Zhu family know that it would be best to hide away when they see her and the people from the Zhou family in the future.

Soon, no one mentioned Miss Zhu San's affairs because there was even greater news in the capital.

Feiyuwei searched three official residences overnight, one of which was a fourth-rank and two of them were from the fourth-rank.

People in the capital were panic and talked a lot. No one knew what these three officials had done. This was the first time since the emperor ascended the throne.

The person who searched the official's house was Han Feng and his Feiyuwei. Chai Yan did not show up, but in fact, this was all found out by him.

Liulang has no friends and rarely interacts with his colleagues. He lives in a separate courtyard left by his adoptive parents, and is surrounded by old neighbors who have been with many years. The neighbors all say that he is a good-tempered but taciturn person.

This person's life circle is too simple and too clean, but Chai Yan believes that a person who lives in the capital cannot completely avoid contact with others. As long as he is still alive, he will contact others.

Liulang had to pay half of his salary to his cousin, so even if he pretended, he would make people feel that he was living a difficult life, so he cooked all three meals a day and brought meals from home when he was on duty.

If you want to cook rice, you have to buy rice, noodles, and vegetables.

There is a grocery store outside the alley where Liulang lives, but according to the owner of the grocery store, Liulang never buys things from him.

After five days, Feiyuwei finally found the rice shop where Liulang bought rice noodles, the vegetable stall where he often bought vegetables, and the grocery store where he bought salt and oil.

Among the three officials captured by Feiyuwei this time, one of the officials' house managers was the owner of the rice shop; another official's tits brother was the brother-in-law of the vegetable dealer; and the owner of the grocery store was the uncle of the servant next to another official.

The emperor and the prince attached great importance to this case, and the prince personally went to the imperial prison to hear the case.

Han Feng is a master of torture, and he is cruel enough that the torture that the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple cannot use can be used at any time.

In just three days, the official in charge of the family, who was the owner of Mipu, could not hold on anymore. He was a civil servant and entered the imperial examination. He was just a weak and weak person who could not resist the torture of the imperial prison.

He was the first to confess, and Han Feng even praised him severely for this.

It turned out that this fourth-rank official once had an concubine who was given to him by King Fu.

At that time, he was still a prefect of the country. Later, he was in a correct position. After the emperor ascended the throne, his official career was smooth and he was promoted to two levels in a row. Now he is a well-known figure in the six ministries. As long as he does not make any mistakes, he will probably enter the cabinet in a few years.

The aunt was very favored by him and gave birth to two sons for him, one of whom was seven and the other five.

There is no son in the main room, and the other concubines give birth to daughters. He only has these two sons under his knees. He has long been remembered in the name of the main room and was raised as a legitimate son.

As early as after Chai Hui's accident, he sent the concubine away from afar, and only he and his wife knew the origin of the concubine.

But two years ago, the aunt who was far away in the country suddenly asked someone to send him a letter. When he opened the letter, he realized that the content was not written by the aunt, but a man named Jin Wu.

Jin Wu said that if he wanted his relationship with King Fu to be unknown, he would have to do a few things.

As for what happened, Jin Wu did not say it in the letter.

But a few days later, his eldest son became ill and the child had abdominal pain. He asked the doctor to see it. It stopped the pain after taking the medicine, but after two hours, the pain was unbearable again.

At this moment, a customer came to the rice shop he opened in the name of the manager, and the man was Liulang.

Liulang brought him medicine.

Since then, Liulang has come to deliver medicine every month. If there is no medicine, his eldest son will be in great pain.

Every time Jin Wu sent him a letter, he was sent in the name of the concubine. The words on the letter were written by the aunt, but the signature was Jin Wu.

He also secretly asked someone to go and see that his aunt was no longer in the village.

He did three things for Jinwu. He was in the Ministry of Revenue. Although he was not a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he also held the power.

He approved a sum of 50,000 yuan in silver in accordance with the instructions of Jinwu; he used his relationship to arrange two officials into six ministries;

In addition to these two things, Jin Wu also sent a woman to Beijing and ordered him to find a way to give the woman to King Duan.

Unfortunately, he has never been able to accomplish this matter.

It was not that he had not seized the opportunity, but Princess Duan was too powerful and was very strict. Before the woman could get close, she was driven away by Princess Duan's men.

Feiyuwei acted overnight and arrested all the officials involved in the confession. Unfortunately, he was still one step late, and the woman had already escaped.

Chai Yan heard a cold sweat. Without deep thought, he could guess what Jin Wu wanted to send a beauty to Duan Wang.

That beauty must have received special training like the egret.

Her mission is definitely not to spy on the intelligence in Prince Duan’s Mansion, but to provoke the relationship between Prince Duan and the prince!

If King Duan had the intention to fight for the throne, Chai Yan would have a cold back as long as he thought about it.

The reason why King Duan was chosen instead of King Zhuang or himself is very simple. Among their brothers, except for the prince, King Duan is the only one who is familiar with military books and can lead troops to fight.

Chai Yan's heart sank. He didn't know what his father and the prince would think about it after they knew about this. Will the elder brother be wary of the third brother from now on.
