Chapter 792: Waves of ups and downs rise again
Chapter 792 One wave of unrest and another wave
Hearing that Chu Nanzhi was going to visit Gu Lei in person, Nie Huai'an immediately expressed deep worry: "Dazhi, you shouldn't stay in this wrong place now, the old man heard that the war in the north is tense right now, the old ancestor and the new emperor's capital I look forward to your return to Beijing for a reunion as soon as possible, according to this old man, you should leave for Beijing as soon as possible, as for the matter of Langzhou, I should leave it to Tan Cishi and Li Sanmu."
"I don't know that the situation in Beijing is difficult, and I want to bring the little treasures to Beijing as soon as possible, but before I find out about Chang Lao's assassination, how can I go to Beijing to meet my ancestors and His Majesty?"
Chu Nanzhi knew very well in her heart that if she stayed in Langzhou for one more day, someone would want to make a fuss about herself and the little treasures. Fortunately, the people of Dongsang were retreating now, so there was no big risk for the time being.
Seeing that her attitude was so firm, Nie Huai'an had no choice but to obey, frowned and nodded, "Since you have made up your mind, let this old man accompany you to fulfill Chang Lao's last wish during his lifetime and facilitate this reform of the official system. Let's see who is so daring to act so disrespectful to the new emperor and empress."
As soon as the words fell, Tang Weiming led Tan Qingxing hurried in.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt uncomfortable, and asked quickly: "Tan Inspector, what happened?"
"Queen, Hu Maoxi, the county magistrate of Anhe County, sent someone to report that Princess Qian and a pair of children were assassinated on the border of Langzhou, and the accompanying guards were all missing. After hearing the sad news, the lower officials dared not do anything special, so they came here to ask the queen for instructions. I also ask the queen to make a decision, but do you want to report it to Beijing immediately?"
Tan Qing frowned tightly, already devastated.
Since taking over as governor of Langzhou, there have been many major events, and he is really exhausted physically and mentally.
"Princess Qian was assassinated?"
Hearing this news, Chu Nanzhi and Nie Huai'an looked at each other in dismay, both of them were surprised.
"The empress dowager and the Tang family have done a lot of evil. They have harmed Zhongliang in recent years. It is not surprising that Princess Qian has such evil retribution."
Nie Huai'an said suspiciously: "I'm afraid someone is using this to vent their anger."
"It's reasonable for my mentor to have such a guess."
Chu Nanzhi sighed and sighed: "It is true that there are people who hate the Queen Mother, Queen Qinghe, and the old party, but Princess Qian has chosen to go to Beijing. This disaster is really unpredictable. It is already extremely miserable, why take the risk again To kill her, if the ancestors and His Majesty hadn't nodded, the crime of assassinating the princess would be unusual, not to mention that the accompanying guards were all officials from Langzhou Prefecture, and murdering officials is not something that can be settled with a few simple questions."
Tan Qing was also puzzled: "I was instructed by the queen, the officials did not dare to be sloppy at all, and the guards selected were all the most clever and agile guards in the state, even if these murderers had a deep hatred for the queen mother and the Tang family, they assassinated a This is not a wise move, poor princess."
"Langzhou border?"
Chu Nanzhi thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea: "Why did you choose to attack Princess Qian's mother and child at the border of Langzhou?"
When she reminded, Nie Huai'an immediately reacted: "The Tang family has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and the old party forces are still all over Yizhou. At present, the situation in Beijing and China is tense. Could it be that someone deliberately provoked civil strife and wanted to provoke His Majesty? Contradictions with Tang's old party?"
"exactly."
Chu Nanzhi's eyebrows flashed, and he immediately looked at Tan Qing: "Master Inspector, where does Tang Yi, the former Inspector of Yizhou, live now?"
"After taking Yizhou, His Majesty has been promoted to Changning County Superintendent Zheng Huan and stayed in Yizhou. Now he has taken over the post of governor of Yizhou. As for Tang Yi, although he is still in the post of governor, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Yizhou is difficult. Governor Zheng is in charge."
Tan Qing reported in detail.
"I heard that there are also many Yizhou troops who accompanied them to Beijing this time. At present, the Qinghe Three Prefectures have not been pacified. If Princess Qian's death cannot be found out as soon as possible, it may affect the morale of the army."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help showing deep anxiety: "Although Your Majesty and I have never thought of holding these old parties accountable, there are still people who deliberately want to stir up disputes in the court and put the empire's safety at risk. .”
"Could it be the Beibin King who is far away in the land of Qinghe is instigating it?"
Tan Qing noticed it immediately, and asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid I can't get rid of him."
Chu Nanzhi hesitated and nodded: "Lord Inspector, immediately send Li Sanmu to go to Yizhou to thoroughly investigate the case, and by the way convey the will of the Palace and His Majesty, I and Your Majesty are very sorry for the death of Princess Qian, and will definitely resolve it as soon as possible." Thoroughly investigate this case and return justice to their mother and son."
Tan Qing's eyes paused slightly: "Do you want to report what happened in Langzhou to the imperial court?"
The old matriarch Fu was assassinated, and the new emperor's son and daughter couldn't even invite a wet nurse. If such a strange thing was hidden from His Majesty, he would be deeply terrified.
Chu Nanzhi stood up slowly, carefully recalling the several major events that had happened in the city since the national funeral, and then nodded after pondering for a long time: "Let's play it as it is."
"Yes."
Obtaining the will, Tan Qing left with fists in his hands.
Nie Huai'an also had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, apart from being angry, he was more distressed towards the students.
Jin Xiao had just ascended the throne, and the girl Nan Zhi had just given birth, yet someone kept causing trouble at this juncture, it was really resentful.
Secretly clenched his fists, he warned in a loud voice: "Da Zhi, you should go back to the house earlier and rest, the matter of paying homage to Mr. Gu is for the teacher to send someone to deliver the letter first, and then go out of the city after everything is settled, you often Mr. was assassinated just now, so don't be careless about your safety."
"Well, Mr. Nie should be more careful, and don't make any more trouble."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Nie Huaian anxiously.
Now the most worrying thing is his safety.
"Don't worry, I know what I know as a teacher."
Nie Huai'an nodded while pursing his lips.
Chang Lao's death has caused this girl to be in turmoil, and now even if it is for the two lovers, he still wants to live well.
Obtaining Lao Nie's promise, Chu Nanzhi felt much more at ease, and led the little treasures away with peace of mind.
Back to the house, in the bedroom, the little treasures surrounded little Ruiji and little Ruisi and refused to leave for a moment.
Looking at the two cute little babies and the mother who looked disturbed, the little treasures all comforted them sensiblely: "Mother, don't worry, we will definitely protect our younger brothers and sisters."
"With the few of you here, I believe that Ruiji and Ruisi will not be bullied in the future."
Receiving the comfort from the little ones, Chu Nanzhi felt much warmer in her heart.
Coaxed the quadruplets until very late, and had dinner together in the inner hall before Jinhui and sisters from the Chu family picked them up.
In the quiet inner room, looking at the two baby babies who were already sound asleep, thinking that starting tomorrow she would no longer have to suffer from the pain of not having breast milk, she immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
It was rare to sleep soundly. The next day, she was woken up by the cries of little Reggie and Reith. She dragged her tired body to sit up, and fed the two little ones with some milk, spreading the rain and dew as much as possible.
Although the brother and sister were not fed enough, at least they coaxed the little ones.
When she had time to stay, she rushed to ask Abi and Achun who were serving in the room: "Has the wet nurse arrived at the house?"
"The servants went to the kitchen to fetch water just now, and I heard from the old mother that the old Hou Ye had already sent someone to pick it up early in the morning, and it must be here soon."
Ah Chun just finished replying, when he heard Chu Wenbi's cursing voice came in: "God **** thief, my Chu family has never offended the officials, gentry and common people in Langzhou, who is so utterly devoid of conscience?"
Chu Nanzhi frowned and looked up, seeing Tang Weiming walking in with a melancholy expression, knelt down sullenly, lowered his head and said: "Queen Qi, the wet nurse and her family of six were killed last night. mouth, all died tragically at home."
