Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 204
"Old slave, old slave, how can he be able to meet the princess?" Madam Tao wept again, but this time it was not because of sadness, but because of joy.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Yu only knew that Nanny Tao was a blood feud, and that all twenty or so people in her family were killed by traitors 20 years ago. It is not known exactly what happened in the palace at that time.

Generally, the royal family would not keep such a servant with such a complicated background. If someone with a heart takes advantage of her and threatens her to deal with the master, it will be dangerous.

But Nanny Tao is different, because the late Concubine Zhong had the grace to save her life, she wisely saved the life of Concubine Zhong who was unfortunately stung by a bee while going out to offer incense. At that time, Concubine Zhong was seven months pregnant.

Only then did Nanny Tantao finally sign the contract and stay in the palace.

She has never concealed her life experience from the beginning to the end. Concubine Zhong pitied her for being lonely and lost all her relatives, but she was still simple-minded. She once promised that if the murderer was found, she could use the power of Prince Zhong's mansion to help her avenge her.

Although Concubine Zhong is no longer here, Chen Yu learned about it from the old man in the palace when she was young. In addition, Tao Momo had risked her life many times to protect her when she was with her. She also felt that as long as she If you have the ability, you must help one or two.

Therefore, when she heard that Nanny Tao had found her enemy, even Chen Yu was a little excited.

Mother Tao wiped away her tears, and then said: "The old slave passed by the front yard on the day and night of the princess's great joy. Outside the side hall, he heard the voice of the thief! He is now aliased as Yang, and he is called Manager Yang. It is a pity that the old slave If you don't have the guts to go in, stab the thief to death!"

"Are you sure you heard it right?" Princess Xiangyang heard it. In this case, I am afraid that I will hear from my husband and ask him to help check. Among the stewards who came that day, whose family is surnamed Yang, what do I know? She is the bride, and no matter how long her arms are, she cannot reach the outer court.

"The thief harmed my whole family, even if he turned into a gray old slave, he would recognize him, let alone separated by a thin wall." Tao Nanny's eyes flashed with hatred.

Princess Xiangyang didn't ask any more questions, she believed that Nanny Tao would never mention it in front of her if she wasn't very sure about it.She immediately sent someone to invite Jiang Wensheng to come, and simply explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

"Husband, this concubine cannot just sit back and watch the murderer get away with it. I implore my husband to help me, first clarify the identity of this person, and then make a long-term plan."

Jiang Wensheng raised his eyebrows. His newlywed wife is good at everything, but she is too polite. Although he has no feelings for her, the two are married and will be tied together for the rest of their lives. They talk all day long. Are you tired?

He thought for a while, and then said: "Princess, you are welcome. If there is really a grievance, I will take you to find the third brother. He is currently a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is the first time in 20 years that the murderer can be found for such a major family extermination case. There must also be a canonical punishment."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wensheng glanced at Nanny Tao: "Could it be that you still want to take revenge in private?"

"How could this old slave, a helpless old woman, get her revenge? Naturally, she still wants to catch the murderer and have a public trial, so as to comfort the souls of the more than [-] lives of my Tao family."

"It's very good." Jiang Wensheng first sent people to the outer courtyard to find out who was in charge that day.

The people who came to the wedding that day were divided into two groups, one group was relatives and friends of the Jiang family, old colleagues, most of them were Qingliu, their official positions were not obvious, and most of them came in person or sent their nephews to congratulate.

The other group consisted of dignitaries for the face of the Princess Xiangyang, relatives of the emperor, clan dignitaries, even the officials sent eunuchs to support Xiangyang.

Of course, almost none of them came in person, and most of them sent a small steward to give gifts. The Jiang family naturally treated these people well, and they dared not offend any of them. The head of the Jiang family came forward and waited on him carefully.

Coincidentally, there is only one steward surnamed Yang here, and his status is not low, so the steward Jiang's family was very impressed. When the person sent by Jiang Wensheng asked him, he immediately recalled: "Oh, that steward Yang, who is He was sent by the Prince's Mansion of Qingping, I heard that he is a popular person beside the Princess, and she likes him quite a lot."

Those who can be in charge of a government, there are not many people who are not smart, and every household in the capital should know as soon as there is any disturbance.

Princess Qingping is also considered a legend.

She is the elder sister of today, more than ten years old in the official family, and she is forty-two this year. She has not remarried since she lost her son-in-law more than ten years ago, but there are all kinds of handsome young people in the mansion. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how to return However, no one dared to talk about it on the bright side.

Not to mention that the son-in-law has passed away, even if the son-in-law is alive, how can he take the princess?As long as she thinks about it, and with the support of the palace, there is nothing she dare not do, but it is not a big deal to raise a lot of handsome students.

I heard, ahem, I just heard that the eldest princess is getting older, and in recent years, she is no longer purely based on face, and her preferences are more and more inclined to mature people with connotations.

Steward Yang heard that he had recently been favored by the eldest princess, and he was very successful, so he transformed himself into the manager of the external purchases of the eldest princess's mansion, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

I have to say that when I came into contact with him, I felt that he spoke elegantly, treated people kindly, and in addition to his handsome appearance, it was hard to be hated.

Now it's troublesome.

The eldest princess is the elder sister of the official family, and the princess of Xiangyang is just the cousin of the official family. It is needless to say that the relationship is far and wide, and a princess has a natural advantage over the previous princess.

The title of Princess Xiangyang has also been disputed for a long time in the palace, and in the end it was only given the title of princess, not a princess.

After all, the previous generation of emperors did not have many sons, but many daughters. His own daughter still couldn't bear the pain. Naturally, he was farther away from King Zhong's daughter, and King Zhong was a county king according to the ancestral system. There should be only the title of the county master, and the title of the county master is an exception.

Chen Yu knew very well that she definitely had no chance of winning against her cousin who was older than herself.

It is not feasible to directly arrest and torture people. The eldest princess is notorious for protecting her weaknesses.

This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run.The only plan now is to find the third brother to come forward. I want to come to the criminal department to have the most complete records. Twenty years have passed, and what is dusty is not only the memory, but also the bloody evidence, which has become a few understatements in the pile of old papers.

Now that he was sure there was someone there, Jiang Wensheng knew that he was a layman in terms of criminal names, so he didn't make any random decisions. He took his newlywed wife and Nanny Tao to wait for Jiang Wenyuan in the outer study while he was in the office.
