A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 105

Taohua pursed her lips, reached out and handed the blood book to him, without saying a word.

Qin Huaiyu's face was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Master, I have been wronged, this debt cannot be attributed to my concubine!"

Shen Zaiye frowned and read the blood book, raised his eyes and said coldly: "If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?"

Eyeballs dangling around, Qin Huaiyu had an idea, pointed at Peach Blossom and said, "The rules are all taught by Mrs. Jiang, I just follow the rules!"

The corner of her mouth twitched, Taohua couldn't hold back, and rolled her eyes towards the sky.

It's really a good job, usually she doesn't listen to what she teaches, and when something happens, it becomes her fault.What is this little girl's name Qin Huaiyu? It's more realistic to call her Baiyanlang!

Shen Zaiye is not stupid, he only glanced at Taohua and then stared at Qin Huaiyu again: "I was forced to death by you, not by Mrs. Jiang. When the autopsy results are out, you have to give the Liu family an explanation." .”

"I'm a concubine..." Qin Huaiyu gritted her teeth, opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, lowered her head, unavoidably aroused her thoughts.

The Jingdu yamen is under the jurisdiction of my father, if I don't write a letter back to let my father tamper with it, causing him to commit suicide, it's not suicide, so I can't blame her!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was good, so Qin Huaiyu didn't argue anymore, and went back to write a letter after resigning.

"The concubine suddenly felt that the reason why madam can be a wife is because of her superiority." Duan Yunxin suddenly sighed: "Once she's not around, a lot of things happened in the mansion."

The implication is that Jiang Taohua is not suitable for managing affairs, not as good as Mei Zhaoxue.

Glancing at her, Taohua smiled and didn't intend to refute, but Shen Zaiye, who was afraid of chaos in the world, looked at her and asked, "Taohua, do you think so too?"

I think you are a beast!

She cursed in her heart, but she said with a smile on her peach blossom face: "Master, if a farmer has two sons, and each of them plows the field for a day, the eldest son will plow the land with the sun shining brightly, and the completion will be very fast. The second son will be plowed repeatedly. Heavy rain, miserable. Can you judge which of the two sons cultivates the land better?"

The reason for the weather has nothing to do with the quality of the land cultivated by people. Just like the things in this mansion, it is not caused by her, so what does it matter to her?All she has to do is to deal with the follow-up, but she can't prevent everything from happening every time.

Shen Zaiye understood, smiled lightly, and took a look at Duan Yunxin.The latter lowered his eyes and said nothing.

People from the yamen came to take Liu Shiyi's body away, and the atmosphere in the mansion was solemn.Duan Yunxin invited herself to the Buddhist hall to read scriptures, and Tao Hua followed Shen Zaiye to Linwuyuan.

"Master, how is Qin Jieyu's matter?" Stepping into the main house, Taohua asked, "Has the sentence been passed?"

Shen Zaiye didn't answer, but said flatly: "You have already done everything you can to help Manager Xu, don't worry about the others, let's deal with Liu's affairs first."

"But." Tao Hua frowned: "Guan Xu is still waiting eagerly, and every day when he greets me, he has to ask about the progress."

Shen Zaiye was silent, and drank the tea next to him with downcast eyes.

Qin Jieyu was still imprisoned in the prison in the Yamen of the capital, but he has not been convicted for so long. Qin Tingwei must have played some tricks behind his back. Even if the final judgment comes out, Qin Jieyu will never pay his life.

"Look at Master's expression, this matter will not have a satisfactory result." Tao Hua looked at him with deep eyes: "I don't intend to give her a good explanation either."

"It has nothing to do with you, Peach Blossom." Shen Zaiye whispered: "You just take care of yourself, why bother to be a good person."

The heart of the superiors has always been so cruel, and they do things that take the overall situation into consideration, but they never seriously feel the pain of the people below, persuade you with a bunch of great principles, and then choose to sacrifice you.

Shen Zaiye is such a qualified superior.

It doesn't make sense to talk about love, Taohua smiled, and simply talked about benefits: "I think Liu Shiyi's death, how should I settle it in the end?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Shen Zaiye said: "Qin Tingwei is also quite experienced in handling murder cases. If one daughter is lost, he will take good care of the second one, and Qin Huaiyu will never be blamed. .”

"Then, do you want to watch Master Tingwei disregard the laws of Wei and do nothing?" Taohua smiled: "I don't mention other cases, just the trouble caused by his daughter, it's just a matter of death." It takes a lot of effort to make up for it. In the process of making up for it, there should be a lot of handles that people can hold on to, right?"

With a slight movement in his mind, Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a light smile and said, "What bad idea are you thinking?"

"What kind of bad idea is this?" Taohua sneered: "You have always advertised that you are upright and unselfish. Although it is fair, it is a little less human. If Mr. Ting Wei did something wrong this time, if you persuade him in private, he will not be corrected. Praise you for being strong and soft, and then become more loyal to you?"

The words are very beautiful, but the basic meaning is that if Qin Tingwei wants to protect his daughter, he will definitely do something that violates the law. If Shen Zaiye can grasp these handles and threaten them in private, then why not worry about Qin Tingwei? Surrender to him?

Taking a deep look at her, Shen Zaiye suddenly sighed: "It's such a pity that you were born into a daughter's family."

"How could it be a pity?" Tao Hua smiled and winked at him coquettishly: "It would be a pity if the concubine was a man."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Shen Zaiye said in disgust: "Okay, I will give Qin Tingwei two choices about Qin Jieyu. If he thinks his daughter's life is more important than his future, he can only let Qin Jieyu go. If he thinks the future is more important...then after breaking Qin Jieyu, there will be Qin Huaiyu."

Look, she also said that she was in a bad mood!Shen Zaiye is really bad!No matter how Qin Tingwei chooses, there is no good fruit to eat.

Tao Hua felt relieved, so she obediently added some tea to him, and said with a smile: "Master has been working hard lately, you should also pay attention to your health. If you want to go to Zhengchun Pavilion tonight, I will give you a shoulder press." ?”

"That's all for tonight." Shen Zaiye pursed his lips: "The emperor wants me to enter the palace in the evening, and accompany him to discuss state affairs at night by candlelight. I can't come back."

That's it, Tao Hua didn't think much about it, she just nodded her head in response.

Once Liu Shiyi died, there were fewer people hanging out in the mansion.The servants and maids made eye contact as soon as they met each other, and then hurriedly separated.No one dared to speak ill of Qin Huaiyu, but no one would think that Qin Huaiyu was a good person anymore.

After writing the family letter and returning home, Qin Huaiyu was still shivering a little wrapped in the quilt, so she ordered all the servant girls to stay by her bedside, and no one was allowed to leave.

"Master, don't be afraid." The servant girl comforted her: "With so many of us here, we can watch the night for you tonight."

"Yes, Liu Shiyi committed suicide, and you didn't kill him yourself. You don't have to worry about it."

Qin Huaiyu said stiffly, "I'm not worried, it's just a little cold."

It's almost summer, the weather is very warm, where can it be cold?As soon as she said this, an ignorant little girl murmured softly: "Could it be that our room is too cloudy, so it's cold?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huaiyu screamed in fright, and immediately buried herself in the quilt, not daring to come out.

In such a state, they couldn't even eat. The maids had no choice but to invite Jiang Taohua to find a way.

"Madam, do you really believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Sitting beside Qin Huaiyu's bed, Tao Hua had a complicated look on her face. She really didn't know what to say, so she simply waved her hand and let Qingmo hug a bodhisattva over: "Since you are afraid, then give this one to you." You, it has been lit in the most spiritual temple in the Great Wei Dynasty, and placed in the house, no ghosts and ghosts dare to approach."

When Qin Huaiyu heard this, she immediately hugged the Bodhisattva in her arms, and finally felt at ease: "Thank you, Mrs. Jiang."

"You don't need to thank me. An Anxin waits for the results of the autopsy. Don't do anything and let me thank God." Taohua sighed helplessly: "If the Liu family really committed suicide, you should also go to the Liu family to admit your mistakes and be punished by others." Prepare for the punishment."

With a slight trembling, Qin Huaiyu hugged the Bodhisattva and whispered, "Got it."

Since she has to admit her mistakes and be punished, how could she do nothing?

Liu Shiyi's body was actually not unusual, it looked like a normal hanging suicide, but the strangle marks on his neck were a bit strange, it seemed that he must have struggled before he died.

Qin Tingwei received a letter asking for help from his daughter, scolded them for causing trouble, and at the same time hurriedly asked someone to clear up the relationship with the Kyoto Yamen, and rewarded Wu Zuo with a lot of silver, so that he was convicted of murder, not suicide.

Wu Zuo saw that Qian's eyes were wide open, and he planned to do so, but another force came to give him money, saying that it must be suicide.

What's happening here?Wu Zuo was dumbfounded, holding two bank notes and a note of instructions, neither of them dared to offend, he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Prime Minister Shen actually came in person!
Seeing the gentle smile on Xiangye's face, Wu Zuo confessed without saying anything, and begged the prime minister to save him.

"Leave everything to me, and you will be my witness in the future." Shen Zaiye whispered: "As for the autopsy results, what you find out is what it is."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Wu Zuo kowtowed repeatedly, but when he raised his head, he took the third share of money from the attendant next to him: "This is your reward."

I have never met any corpse that can give him such treatment!Wu Zuo took the money tremblingly, and promised again and again that he would try his best to test it.

"This is really an unexpected harvest." On the way to pick up Xu Yan and come out, Shen Zaiye looked at the note in his hand with a smile and said: "In addition to Qin Tingwei, there are other people who care about this matter. It seems that Liu's death It's really not easy."

Xu Yangui said angrily: "You are in trouble again, so you just thought of saving me? Why did you go so early?"

"You committed the serious crime of stealing King Yu's treasure." Shen Zaiye didn't even look at him, and said indifferently: "You have already been sentenced to death, so just hide it and don't speak so loudly."

"I don't agree!" Xu Yangui frowned, "Why do you have to die if you steal a jade pendant? I even bit Qin Jieyu, and they didn't do anything to Qin Jieyu!"

"Is it your first day hanging around outside?" Shen Zaye sneered: "There is Mr. Ting Wei behind Qin Jieyu. You are just a doorman who was kicked out of the house by me on the surface. Can you receive the same punishment?"

Xu Yangui frowned, and said after a while: "The laws of the Great Wei are indeed only used to punish civilians."

"It's good to know." Putting away the things, Shen Zaiye said: "Your vacation is over, go back and continue working in the dark. Now go find out which two people are trying to bribe you, and send a bottle of medicine to the palace by the way." .”

"What medicine?" Xu Yangui wrinkled his nose curiously looking at the thing handed in front of him: "The medicine I want to send to the palace must not be a good medicine."

"Then you still ask?" Glancing at him, Shen Zaiye waved his sleeves and walked out: "If King Jing wants to enter the East Palace, you have to move quickly."

"understood."

Everyone entering the palace has to be searched, so this thing can only be returned by Xu Yan.Shen Zaiye swaggered into the palace in a carriage and waited for the emperor to come out at the gate of Zhilan Palace.

"Master Xiang." The chief eunuch came out and cupped his hands at him: "The emperor and Concubine Lan Gui are having a good chat, why don't you go in and say hello?"

"Okay." Shen Zaiye nodded, followed his father-in-law in, and saluted in a proper manner: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine."

"Aiqing came just in time." The emperor said with a smile: "You come to judge, Lan Er insisted that she won this game, look at the chess board, it is obvious that I won."

Shen Zaye looked down and saw that the two were playing Go.

"The prime minister naturally wants to say good things about His Majesty." Concubine Lan Gui said with a smile, "How could he be reasonable?"

"The Prime Minister is also your elder brother after all, so I don't know who to help." The emperor laughed loudly: "Is my concubine guilty?"

"Hmph." Concubine Lan Gui turned around and looked at Shen Zaye with deep eyes: "Then brother, tell me, who won?"

The word "brother" has an accent, which sounds quite uncomfortable, but Shen Zaiye seemed to have never heard of it, looked at the chess board and said: "The emperor won."

The emperor laughed, but Concubine Lan Gui pouted her mouth in displeasure: "My brother hasn't talked to me properly for a long time, I'm afraid he won't recognize me as a younger sister, look, you're talking nonsense when you open your eyes."

Shen Zaiye smiled and said nothing.

Emperor Mingde laughed enough, but he saw that the two brothers and sisters seemed to have some suspicions. After thinking for a while, he said: "I suddenly remembered that something was left in the imperial study room. Let's leave for a while. You two should have a good talk." .”

With an emperor who loves her so much, Concubine Lan Gui should be quite content.However, there was still no joy in her eyes, she just stood up and saluted symbolically, and watched Emperor Mingde leave.

The door of the palace was not closed, but all the palace people retreated.When the two entered the inner room, it was Concubine Lan Gui who spoke first: "The Prime Minister's heart is really cruel."

"Have you received the item?" Shen Zaiye asked with downcast eyes.

"Got it, it looks like a vicious thing." With a sneer, Concubine Lan Gui took two steps closer to him and said in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that my deeds will be exposed and you will be involved?"

Shen Zaiye said expressionlessly: "He won't doubt you, and even if he doubts, he won't blame you."
