Mu Huagui

Chapter 180
The inscription on the stone tablet reads, "The sun rises from the sky, evil spirits disrupt the country, ears come out of the east, and its color is pure white." The three characters Chen Jiao'er are almost engraved on the stone tablet.

At that time, there were quite a few people who saw this stele, and there were many literate people among the victims.The next day Zhou Mingyuan brought this stele into the palace, and reported the whole incident one by one.

"Is there anyone who doubts?" The emperor pondered for a moment and asked directly.

"Lin Zhicong in the case of the servant killing the master may be in the capital." Zhou Mingyuan regretted in his heart. He knew that this person still had some skills. Let people die in secret.

Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Secret investigation, all relevant people will be investigated together."

"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan was not in the mood to stay in the palace any longer, and turned back to Dali Temple.Most of these big guys are street gangsters, very slippery.They were still thinking, thinking that if they showed the previous set of stubborn denials, they could get away with it.

Unexpectedly, the yamen servants were serious, and someone dragged them to a place and ordered, "Beat, beat hard, if you can't say anything useful, just beat them to death."

"My lord, I already recruited everyone we know last night. We dare not do it again. We promise to change our minds and be good people." An idler wanted to escape because of his friendship with the clerk in the yamen. this time.The little official glanced at him, as if looking at a dead person, then turned his head away.

"Be a good person, okay, let's go to the next life."

All kinds of screams and wailing were accompanied by the sound of skin and flesh splitting, and blood quickly flowed all over the ground.Many people rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth, and they were about to die.There was a small man with his head tilted, and the executioner grabbed it and looked at it, and shouted, "Boss, one died."

"Slow down." The person who issued the order rolled his eyelids, tried his breath again, waved his hand, and very easily called for people to drag down.

The people next to them saw that they really wanted to beat them to death. They panicked and shouted, "My lord, the little ones need to be recruited, please be recruited."

"Didn't it mean that everyone who should be recruited has been recruited. You can think clearly, tease me, and let you beg to die later."

Looking at the gloomy gaze of the little official, the big man was heartbroken, "Don't dare to lie to your lord, the one who killed a thousand swords said that our crimes are trivial, and the law does not punish the public. At most, we will be released after a beating. Let us go." , can you give us another 100 taels of silver, my lord."

There was one leader, and the remaining few were unwilling to let others go, and they all shouted.

The little official nodded in satisfaction, took the pen and paper, and began to record the statement.As soon as a prisoner asked if they could be given medicine first, the clerk gave them a wink, and then someone waved a stick and "cracked" several times.Scared everyone to silence, and didn't dare to make any demands.

When Zhou Mingyuan received the statement from his subordinate, Chang Zaixian and Lu Huo'er immediately squeezed to the left and right, and leaned over to read it.Chang Zaixian yelled before he finished watching, "It really is Lin Zhicong. He was sentenced to exile, and he can engrave words on his face. Presumably it was to burn the words, so he left a scar on his face."

When a prisoner was dealing with him, he accidentally saw deep burn marks on his skin through the corner of the mask.

"With such an obvious feature, why can't anyone be found? It's so strange." Lu Huo'er had been helping to find Lin Zhicong's whereabouts early in the morning. According to his thinking, a person with engraved face, as long as he showed his face in front of others, should be extremely rare. easy to find.As a result, he searched for more than two months, but couldn't find it, and he caused such a big incident.

"There must be someone behind. Only by hiding in the official's house can we not be discovered." Zhou Mingyuan already had a calculation in his heart.It's just that I can't believe it, I dare to jump out and challenge the emperor at this time.What is the basis for, you know, whether it is Beijing-China defense or military power, they are all firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Don't look at Chang Zaixian leading the Jingwei Commander, it was only on the surface, secretly, the emperor sent a deputy to Chang Zaixian's side directly.For important decisions, two people must appear at the same time to be effective.

Hitting a pebble against a rock, causing trouble with this kind of determination, is not something that Zhou Minghua, the king of Pingjun who is greedy for life and afraid of death, can do.Zhou Mingyuan murmured in his heart, is there anyone else?

While thinking about it, Lu Huo'er said, "I'll find Xiaoyuexian first, and let her check it out."

"She can still help us." This woman was loved by Zhou Minghua and had already given birth to a son.Afterwards, Lu Huo'er also refused to take her away, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to use him anymore.

"Hmph, she can't help being unwilling." Lu Huo'er snorted coldly, how dare a little actor defy him?
"That's good. Let's split into two groups. I'll send someone to check in his mansion." Let the clan mansion find any reason, just go to his mansion to search.

"Hey, why are the soldiers divided into two groups? What about me? What am I doing?" Chang Zaixian cried out in dissatisfaction. After watching the excitement for a long time, he didn't have anything to do. It was simply unreasonable.

Zhou Mingyuan patted him on the shoulder, "Stop making trouble, go back and be with your wife."

Lu Huo'er simply said to the servants of the Chang Mansion, "Take your young master back quickly."

Looking at the backs of the two, Chang Zaixian jumped and cursed angrily.Tired of scolding, he rolled his eyes, suddenly laughed, and said to himself, "If you don't give me an errand, can I still follow?"

Seeing Xiao Yuexian with an angry face, Lu Huo'er put her hands behind her back and said, "Don't look at me like this. If you cooperate, I won't attack your son."

After receiving Lu Huo'er's message, she, who didn't want to come out at first, received her son's close-fitting clothes.She was so scared that she found an excuse and ran out alone.

"He has become like this. He will never dare to fight against you again. Why can't he let us go?" Xiao Yuexian is the daughter of a poor family. I feel very satisfied.

After all, if it weren't for this, she might not be able to give birth to a son.No rich family would want a son born to an actor, but now Zhou Minghua gave up on herself, and the princess of the county locked herself in her room every day, leaving her to give birth to a son.No matter what, she was naturally satisfied with having someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

Lu Huo'er asked her to think about it, whether anyone in the family has come into contact with a man with a scar on his face recently, or something strange.

Xiaoyuexian muttered, "You are still a man, who dares to come to our house. If you go out to have a guest, you need someone to send you a post. It's just... oh, I saw the maid Zhen'er in the princess' room, I often go out of the house and don't know what to do. Because of this, the princess and the prince had a quarrel, and the quarrel was fierce."

"Do you know what she went out to do?"

"I don't know, but there is one more thing I know. I don't know if it will be useful to you..."

"Really, Qin Yiyi's son isn't his own, could it be that he stole it?" As soon as Xiao Yuexian left, Chang Zaixian came out of the cubicle with a curious expression on his face.

"I don't know, whether it's true or not has nothing to do with the current situation." Lu Huo'er knew that the people from the clan's mansion had already gone on the other side, and wondered if they could find anything.

The emperor looked at the prince who was already able to walk, and asked with a smile, "I can't speak yet. The Empress Dowager said that when Lian was young, she could speak very early."

Since the queen gave birth to her son, she has gone through a catastrophe, and her son was crowned prince again, and her mood has become much more peaceful.Wen Yan said softly, "It's not bad for a one-year-old child to be able to walk. I'm afraid it will take a few more months to speak. Today, Concubine Ming vomited again, and her pregnancy image is extremely bad. Remember to visit my sister when the emperor is free. .”

"Hehe, I'll be there in a while. The new year is coming soon, and many descendants of the royal family are blooming. Take them all into the palace and give them to the emperor."

"Yes." The queen replied, the authentic descendants of the royal family surnamed Zhou, apart from the prince, are Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua.Could it be that he wanted Brother Shun to come into the palace to be rewarded, and then Zhou Minghua's son should be called over together.The son-in-law is here, what about the son-in-law.

Empress Youmo turned over the emperor's thoughts, and ordered Chen Jiaohe and Qin Yiyi to carry the child into the palace, firstly to give the empress dowager a head, and secondly to recognize the prince.

Such a young child can't even say a word, but the queen made an order, so Qin Yiyi had no choice but to prepare his wife's court clothes and face.

"Princess, the powder you asked for is back." The servant girl held up the newly purchased powder and couldn't help muttering in her heart. The princess's face is very haggard recently, but there is no need to be so nervous.I can't brush it several times a day, but I don't think it's white enough.

Qin Yiyi and Chen Jiao'er each held their children to greet the queen. The queen watched and sat down with a smile, and asked someone to carry the child to her for a closer look.They stuffed each child with a piece of jade ruyi, and then let the nanny hold it down and said, "Sure enough, they are the descendants of the Zhou family, and the two children are very lucky to see the red phoenix eyes."

The concubines responded, "Being born in the royal family is naturally extremely blessed. If you say it, our crown prince is the most blessed. He was carved out of the same mold as the emperor."

Everyone laughed for a while, and then went to offer incense to the Empress Dowager.Chen Jiao'er specially observed Qin Yiyi, her face was covered with extremely thick powder and fragrance.When I heard everyone talking about the child's appearance, my face was stiff, and I refused to say a word.Could it be that the letter that Lu Huo'er brought was real, and the child was not her own?
The queen spoke to the empress dowager's spirit card for a long time. The concubine in the palace was pregnant, and another concubine was promoted, of course, including Emperor Zhou who was specially brought here to give grandma a head today. Sun.

After returning to the palace, the prince also woke up, the queen specially pointed out the two little ones to the prince, and asked him to come forward to recognize his younger brother.Unexpectedly, the crown prince developed a strong interest in Qin Yiyi's son.Picking up his clothes, wanting to play with him, but ignoring the other youngest brother Shun.

Brother Shun, on the other hand, stared at the two elder brothers with wide eyes, his mouth was puckered, and he seemed to be saying, "Why don't you play with me, I'm very fun."

The queen laughed, "There is only one child in the palace, Brother Wen, which is too stupid. If Princess Pingjun is relieved, why don't you let Brother Ning stay in the palace to accompany Brother Wen?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
