Chapter 536: bullying
Chapter 536 Bullying others with power
Tens of thousands of fish fry in the fish pond were poisoned to death. Although Lin Jinxiao knew that it was Chu Nanzhi's painstaking effort, but now that he was crowned king and had an official title, he would not be very distressed. Fishermen and fishermen in Haikang County bought some to make up for it, so they didn't make any noise.
But the assassination of the imperial envoy was undoubtedly aimed at the couple. It is not a big problem to provoke the relationship between himself and the Tang family, but it is another matter to frame his wife.
He stared at Lin Jinqian coldly, his eyes were full of sullenness: "Princess Qian should show evidence if she wants to frame her, and if she is most dissatisfied with this marriage, it should be this prince, isn't the princess? Do you still suspect that the king ordered someone to assassinate the imperial envoy?"
"I"
Lin Jinqian only felt that this matter had nothing to do with the couple, but it was not enough to suspect Lin Jinxiao.
He is no longer willing to accept this marriage, nor will he do this rebellious thing.
Tang Ru has been deliberating over what Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao said just now.
Indeed, if Princess Pingning is dissatisfied with this marriage, the most sensible thing to do is to go to Beijing to ask His Majesty, rather than assassinate an imperial emissary.
It's just that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring down Princess Pingning and win the position for his younger sister. He also began to complain: "Your Highness, this matter is related to the reputation of my Tang family and Your Highness, and it is even more related to the majesty of the court. Although there is no evidence to point out that it was the princess who did it, but the marriage between your two families is prevented, and the princess is indeed the one who benefits the most."
"Absurd."
Chang Yanjue was simply unreasonable to the couple: "If it is to provoke the relationship between the Tang family and King Pingning, it is hard to say who will benefit from it. Princess Pingning is the wife that King Pingning is currently marrying. How could she not know this stake, Tang Dadu Dudu, you are the leader of the Duwei Mansion, and supervise the three armies of the state capital, so what is your intention to slander your boss's wife and instigate civil strife?"
"Chang Lao, I don't dare to be an official."
Being refuted by Chang Lao's alarmist words made Tang Ru look bitter.
He just wanted to bring down Princess Pingning, and he even spoke out about inciting civil strife, which makes people dare not speak out.
Concubine Yue Gui also saw that it was time for her to shed her shame. As long as Princess Pingning was removed, then Zhao Guangyuan, an old man, would have to obediently return to her side and be at his mercy.
Correcting her posture, she also said in a solemn voice: "Chang Lao wants to protect his students, which is understandable, but this matter is unusual, and His Majesty must give an explanation to the court, otherwise, this palace and all the princes will be together. In Luyan Port, things like imperial envoys were killed, and it would be difficult to give an explanation to His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty after returning to the palace."
Chang Yanjue naturally understands the reason. If the person behind the scenes cannot be found out, then it is not Chu Nanzhi who will be implicated, and even Lin Jinxiao will be punished accordingly.
After all, the imperial envoy was killed in the state, which is also his dereliction of duty.
Staring deeply at the melancholy Chu Nanzhi, Chang Yanjue asked solemnly: "Nan Zhi, are you confident in finding out who is behind this?"
Just like Paul Lin Jinxiao in the tax and bank case back then, for the current plan, he can only take a chance and buy some time to come here first, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Chu Nanzhi's heart was also extremely disturbed, she actually had no idea at all.
So far, she still doesn't know the specific situation, and everyone has already started to attack themselves.
Obviously, this time it was aimed at her.
If the truth is reported, it will not only encourage the arrogance of the people behind the scenes, but also make those who worry about themselves more worried.
In the end, he was going to blame himself and Lin Jinxiao, so it's better to pretend to be calm and confident, and maybe let the people behind the scenes who want to frame him show their feet.
She looked around everyone with determination in her eyes, and said with a calm smile: "Actually, an interesting thing also happened before this. It was a coincidence that the ten thousand fish fry I raised in the pond of my natal family were poisoned to death. At this time, the imperial envoy who came to pass the imperial edict was assassinated again, and it was only because of the marriage, it couldn't be clearer, someone wanted to deliberately disadvantage me, not to provoke the relationship between the poor husband and the Tang family."
"Could it be that the niece and daughter-in-law think that the people who framed you are the same people?"
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan saw that everyone wanted to embarrass Chu Nanzhi, but right now he didn't want her to be thrown into trouble like this.
And from her gaze, he seemed to see something hidden in this woman's eyes, and he probably had already reached a conclusion.
He wanted to be on her side at this time.
Chu Nanzhi still doesn't know what the person behind this is trying to figure out.
If it was really to frame him, the assassination of the imperial envoy would have been enough for people to direct their anger at him, but he had to go so far to poison his own fry.
If it is really the same group of people, it looks more like venting personal anger than any deep plan.
But if they weren't from the same group, it might not be easy to clear the suspicion for himself and Lin Jinxiao, and it would take some effort.
At that time, in order to protect Lin Jinxiao's future, he had to let himself take the blame.
"I don't want to suffer from being dumb."
Chu Nanzhi murmured to herself, and suddenly had an idea: Even if the two groups of people were not instructed by one person, the old lady had to be forced into a group by him.
There is no kindness in any way, as long as the murderer of an incident is found out, it can be linked together.
Looking at the crowd with a calm smile, Chu Nanzhi said in a slow tone: "These days investigating cases for the county has indeed made a lot of enemies. It's not surprising that someone wants to frame me. If the fish I raise are planted on me and instigated to assassinate the imperial envoys, they may have to attack my restaurant in the future, and my Liu and Chu families will be completely ruined, and my intentions are really vicious."
Although these words were not convincing, they really angered the members of the Liu and Chu families.
Liu Chengming, the villager in Tong'an, immediately became furious and said, "It's unreasonable. Someone dared to attack your niece's fish pond in broad daylight, and even assassinated the imperial envoy. It's simply not leaving a way for people from my two clans to survive."
Chu Luoqian, the head of the Chu family, didn't care about the presence of so many dignitaries. He slammed his cane on the ground and said angrily, "The people of the Chu family immediately went back to the village to ask if there were any suspicious people who have been to Nanzhi in the past two days. fish pond, and check to see if any unfamiliar faces have entered the village."
Liu Chengming was also worried that his niece would be framed, so he echoed: "The young and strong members of the Liu family also went back and searched from house to house to find out who had arsenic hidden."
"No need not."
Chu Nanzhi was overjoyed. It was not easy for her to find out who assassinated the imperial court, and it was not easy to find out, but it was not difficult to find out who poisoned her fry.
Seeing that the canonization ceremony is coming, there is not much time to thoroughly investigate the assassination case. We must first find someone to take the blame, and then slowly find the people behind the scenes.
Smiling indifferently at Chen Chuan, Chu Nanzhi immediately asked: "Lieutenant Chen, you should immediately send someone to search the medical clinics in the city to see which medical clinics have sold large quantities of arsenic in the past few days. Someone who dares to cover up will be punished as a serious crime of treason."
"The poisoning of fish fry and the assassination of imperial envoys can also be associated with it?"
Concubine Yue Gui could only complain secretly in her heart.
This woman's tricks are really powerful, and she directly connected the two things together. Such a serious crime, even if someone had sold arsenic, she would not dare to cover it up.
Isn't this just blatant bullying, easily transferring everyone's resentment towards her to other places, it is simply hateful.
