Chapter 952: The night the emperor died
Chapter 952 The night the late emperor died
Jiang Liu understood the anger and fear of the governor of Jingzhao. She saluted and said sincerely, "Jiang Liuniang slept peacefully at home tonight. She didn't leave the house, and she didn't come to Jingzhao Mansion. The adults rushed to write the closing documents in Jingzhao Mansion, and I didn't see anyone."
A little girl can be so calm, making Zhang Wenjiang even more uneasy, "Jiang Liuniang, who asked you to come?"
Jiang Liu raised his three fingers and swore, "Jiang Liuniang has not been instructed by anyone. If there is a lie, I will teach Jiang Liuniang to pierce her heart and die without a place to be buried. My lord, I am here to seek a way of life for myself. You and My father is in the same boat, how could Jiang Liuniang harm you?"
Zhang Wenjiang clutched his beard tightly and asked, "If no one teaches you, how could you say such a thing as a child?"
If there are people, who would they be? No one in the Jiang family has such courage. If it weren't for the Jiang family... Zhang Wenjiang repeatedly weighed it, except for the Jiang family, there was only Bai Quanhai's wife beside Jiang Liuniang. She is absolutely incapable of doing this, so is there really no one behind this little girl?
Little baby Jiang Liu reminded, "Sir, Jiang Liuniang is thirteen years old this year."
… Do you think thirteen is very big? ! Zhang Wenjiang looked at Jiang Liu and thought of Jiang Feng. The father and daughter are the same in appearance and temperament, no, this girl is bolder than her father, so big!
Seeing that Zhang Wenjiang was silent, Jiang Liu continued, "Seven years ago, the Ren family was destroyed by Jiang Jinzong. After Uncle Qiu took my brother into Kang'an, he regarded Jiang Jinzong and the Qin family as the biggest threat to my brother, and secretly collected this information. I know all the news that Uncle Qiu investigated. When he left Beijing, he left all the people who stayed in Kang'an to me. In the past year, I have also investigated a lot of news, so I have a Bold speculation, this is also the main reason why Jiang Liu came to see the adults tonight."
After Qiu Jing left Beijing, he actually left all the manpower he had deployed in Kang'an for several years to this little girl? Thinking of Qiu Jing's protection of Jiang Feng's death soon after leaving the capital, Zhang Wenjiang sighed silently, "Let's talk about what you have investigated."
"Yes." Jiang Liu began to list, "Do you still remember Kong Neng?"
Zhang Wenjiang nodded.
Jiang Liu continued, "Kong Neng was convicted for arresting my uncle and two older brothers in prison. The adults removed Kong Neng's leather, 30 sticks, fined 3,000 silver, and imprisoned him for six years. The adults know what his father was like. Got three thousand taels of silver together?"
"Find it with the eldest son-in-law of the Qin family, Liu Cheng and Kong Neng." Zhang Wenjiang fined Kong Neng 3,000 taels just to know who the Kong family is related to. It was precisely because it was found that Kong Neng's father was able to get the silver from the Qin family that Zhang Wenjiang cast his arms against the rat and did not pursue it any further.
Could it be that Qiu Jing found something along this line?
Jiang Liu continued, "Your memory is really good. Kong Neng's father, Kong Quanwu, first went to my uncle Wang Fangyu, but failed to get the money, so he went to Liu Cheng, and Liu gave him one hundred and fifty taels. Then Kong Quanwu went to Meng Xunli, the second son of Meng Huizhou, and the two parted ways. Thousand taels of silver. Uncle Qiu found out after investigation that Qin Xiang asked the steward to give Kong Quanwu the thousand taels."
His—Zhang Wenjiang gasped, he really didn't know about this. Uncle Qiu's eyeliner has already been placed in the Qin Mansion?
"Uncle Qiu has no eyeliner in the Qin Mansion. This is what Kong Quanwu said." Jiang Liu continued, "Until Kong Quanwu was dying, Uncle Qiu learned from him why Qin Xiang gave him a thousand taels of silver. Because... "
Jiang Liu paused for a while, and Zhang Wenjiang's heart lifted.
"Because, on the night of the late emperor's death, the Empress Dowager Qin sent someone out of the palace to invite Prime Minister Qin to enter the palace secretly. The Empress Dowager Qin's people were chased and killed, and one of them met Kong Quanwu, who was patrolling the streets before he died, and Kong Quanwu took the token of the Empress Dowager Qin. Go to Prime Minister Qin. Your Excellency, do you know where Prime Minister Qin was that night?"
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "Jingyu Temple."
The court officials, sure enough, none of them are stupid. Jiang Liu continued, "Sir, do you know what Qin Xiang was doing at Jingyu Temple that night?"
Zhang Wenjiang wanted to see how much Jiang Liu knew, so he asked back, "What did you find?"
"That night, King An invited several adults from the court to admire the moon at Jingyu Temple. Qin Xiang personally brought hundreds of killers and ambushed them in Jingyu Temple. The Queen Mother Qin also knew about Qin Xiang's actions that night." Jiang Liu met Zhang Wen Jiang's expression changed again, and he took the initiative to explain, "Uncle Qiu investigated this. Kong Quanwu sent the news to Qin Xiang with a token, and Qin Xiang immediately left Jingyu Temple and rushed to the palace."
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, that was true that night, but he didn't know it was a letter from Kong Quanwu to Qin Xiang. It seems that in the future investigation of the case, one should be cautious and never let any clues go.
Jiang Liu continued, "My lord must remember what happened next. When the late emperor died, there were only the empress dowager and Princess Leyang by his side, and then the empress dowager passed on the emperor's oral decree: to pass the throne to today's long live, and ordered Taifu Yin Qian and Shen Guogong Qin. Long live the assistance of Amano and the protector of the country, Yasuo Zhong."
Zhang Wenjiang felt like he was overwhelmed at this time, he suppressed all kinds of thoughts and said, "Liu'er continue."
"Yes." Jiang Liu continued, "The late emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the six eunuchs and thirteen palace maids who were released from the palace, all died within three months of leaving the palace. Uncle, who killed these people? "
"...Who is it?" Zhang Wenjiang asked rhetorically.
Jiang's message was eloquent, "Liu Cheng personally said that Qin Xiang sent someone to kill these palace maids and eunuchs."
Zhang Wenjiang was startled, "What did Liu Cheng say to Uncle Qiu?"
"No, Liu Cheng told his savior." Jiang Liu explained, "This spring, Liu Cheng was kicked out of Kang'an by the Hou Yijiang and moved to a barren village. His niece set him up with many hardships, and when Liu Cheng was dying, he was taken by him. He can be saved. He now depends entirely on this savior to turn himself around, so he knows everything about the savior and can't stop talking about it."
Zhang Wenjiang was puzzled, "Liu Cheng is not an ordinary person. It is not easy to deceive him. Who is the savior arranged by Liu'er?"
With a smile on his face, Jiang Liu replied, "Liu Cheng's savior is called Tang Zhen, he is from Liangzhou, he is a close friend of King An's uncle, Liangzhou governor Dong Fei, and the guard beside Tang Zhen is my person. Tang Zhen entered Beijing, On the surface, it is to send something to the concubine Dong in the palace, but in fact, it is to inquire about the situation of King An."
The guard was Huyantu's dead friend, so he was considered Jiangliu's. Because of this, Jiang Liucai designed Tang Zhen to rescue Liu Cheng, and obtained a lot of useful information from Liu Cheng's mouth.
Zhang Wenjiang knew about the fact that Dong Felt, the governor of Liangzhou, sent people into the capital to deliver things to his daughter in the palace, but he didn't know that one of them was named Tang Zhen, so he hooked up with Liu Cheng. Zhang Wenjiang retrieved his tongue after a long while, "Go on."
"Yes." Jiang Liu continued, "Qin Xiang killed the maids and eunuchs of Zhengyang Palace because King An sent people to look for these people and wanted to know what happened in the palace the night the late emperor died, so these people were arrested by Qin Xiang. Killed. Qin Xiangding thought that Wei Bin must know something, so after Wei Bin died, he sent people to the Wei house in Tongjifang to look for things. It just so happened that a butcher in Tongjifang went over the wall and entered Wei's house to steal things that night. , was frightened to death by life and life. The death of the butcher was handled by the Nancheng Bingma Secretary, does your uncle still have an impression?"
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "What happened that night?"
"Liu Cheng said that that night, Qin Xiang sent warlocks to summon Wei Bin's soul in Wei's house."
Zhang Wenjiang…
…
…
He is now convinced that Jiang Liu knows more than he does, because the murder of the butcher is still one of the unsolved cases of Nancheng Bingma Si.
Jiang Liu continued, "In addition to conjuring Wei Bin's soul, the people of the Qin family also searched for Wei Bin's disappearing adopted son, Wei Cong. Meng Huizhou is also a confidant of Qin Prime Minister and works in the Ministry of Punishment. He should also know something. That's why the four numbers '1384' were left on the ledger, pointing directly to Wei's house. Based on this, the niece speculated that Wei Bin should have brought something with him when he left the palace. And this thing, Qin Xiang is bound to get, or It must be destroyed."
Zhang Wenjiang swallowed his saliva and asked in a panic, "What is it?"
