The old woman was so frightened that she peed her pants. She stared at the official with her eyes as big as copper gongs, shaking like a sieve. After being pushed, she shook her head anxiously: "I... I..."
She was frightened by the gleaming knife in the officer's hand. When she saw the officer holding up a lantern to shine on her face, she screamed in fear: "It's not me! It's not me! It's the people inside who want to kill people! They want to kill people!"
The dozen or so officers who came in noisily were stunned. They stared at her suspiciously, and the leader waved his hand and said, "Go search!"
They originally came to check it out after receiving a report that a group of people were gathering here to gamble.
Nowadays, if you want to gamble, you have to go to the gambling house. Setting up a gambling house privately is not a small crime. They have caught people in the past, but they are usually those who cheat people and cheat people. They always make a lot of money. I thought it would be the same this time, but no one gambled, but someone said that they killed someone, which is a bigger matter.
The officers rushed into the house and searched it, but didn't see anyone. However, they did find many bows and arrows, swords and guns, etc. These things must not be possessed privately, they are all prohibited, and it was obvious at a glance that something serious was going on.
The person could not be found, and the old woman who appeared here late at night must be put into jail. For a while, one problem after another arose, and the Qiao family welcomed people from Shuntian Prefecture the next day.
This time, not only Qiao Danning was sent to the Dali Temple prison, but Master Qiao was also sent to the Shuntian Prefecture prison. The Qiao family had not been so prosperous for three generations since the Duke of Liang, and suddenly they became a big shot in the capital.
Everyone knew that what Qiao Danning had boasted about in the major restaurants in Beijing was all fabricated by him. After the news spread, no one criticized Wang Yuerong anymore.
After all, Qiao Danning has been sent to prison now. If this matter is brought up again, it will not be ordinary gossip, but deliberate damage to someone's reputation. Wouldn't he be hated to death by the Wang family
Not to mention the Wang family, even the Guangping Marquisate and the Yongding Earlateate will not be let off easily.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the affairs of the Qiao family.
The Qiao family, which had never been prominent before, had almost disappeared from the circle of nobles in the capital in recent years. No one remembered much of this family, and only when such an incident suddenly occurred did everyone react.
Yes, Mrs. Qiao said that it was not going to work. It had been so many years, how come it was still okay? After checking, they found out that he had used five thousand taels of century-old ginseng to keep him alive. It was said that before the accident, the Qiao family was still asking around and wanted to buy another one.
Oh my God! When did the Qiao family become so rich
People who are interested discovered that the Qiao family became prosperous after the death of King Fenyang.
It just so happened that when Prince Fenyang died, Qiao Danning was still on duty at the clan office.
The rumor became more and more intense, and finally, even Princess Fenyang, who had stayed indoors since Prince Fenyang had died, heard the news. Later, people from the Ministry of Justice officially came to visit.
To ask her if she knew Qiao Danning and whether she had any conflicts with Qiao Danning.
Princess Fenyang shook her head tiredly to deny it, and said with a pale face: "It's just that the prince treats me kindly, and sometimes when he sees that the people below are short of money, he will help them. Other than that, there is nothing else."
In a short period of time, Princess Fenyang seemed to have aged ten years and she also fell seriously ill. The palace felt a little sorry for this and specially bestowed many rewards on her to reassure her.
Seeing that they could not get any information from him, the people from the Ministry of Justice did not dare to urge him any further and left without any further delay.
As soon as the people left, Princess Fenyang was so angry that her hands and feet were cold. She threw the cup in her hand and shouted angrily with uneven breathing: "Waste! Waste!"
She smashed some things around for a while before she calmed down. She supported herself on the table and stood up: "Go..."
Before he could finish his words, someone came from outside saying that Mr. Cui had arrived.
Princess Fenyang frowned, but she sat down first and asked someone to invite Mr. Cui in. After calming down, she asked him, "Sir, you are here because you have heard the news from the front, right?"
Mr. Cui did not deny it. He sat down at the signal of Princess Fenyang and said softly, "Princess, Qiao Danning insisted that it was He Zhizhou who instructed him to frame Wang Yuerong. He also insisted that He Zhizhou wanted to kill him to silence him. But the Qiao family has messed up again. The master of the Qiao family is a person who can't stand it. How can he stand the shock when he was put in Shuntian Prefecture Jail? When they tricked him and said that those who hid weapons must be in collusion with him, he immediately confessed that they were the people his son made friends with, and that their family could become prosperous because of working for that group of people. He went to find them this time purely because Song Xiangyu came to their house and made a scene, which scared them so much that they planned to find someone to find a way..."
As a result, everything was exposed.
Mr. Cui explained the whole process in a leisurely manner, and Princess Fenyang was so angry that she smashed another cup: "Idiot! Idiot!"
It was obvious that they were trying to get more information out of the Qiao family because Qiao Danning didn't reveal enough. But who knew that the Qiao family was so stupid that they really did what others wanted. Now, look what has happened. When you pull out a carrot, some dirt will inevitably come out.
After all this twist and turn, King Fenyang's death turned out to be meaningless.
They said it was to prevent people from digging up more things, but weren't they dug out right after
In order to put the blame on Chen Dong, isn’t this also a problem
Princess Fenyang's eyebrows flew up in anger. After a while, she looked at the flying debris fiercely and sneered: "Let them come to see me! I want an explanation!"
It's really ridiculous. After all the scheming, in the end not only did the person being schemed not get hurt, but he also got married.
They had worked so hard to set up a scheme, so what? Did they go there specifically to be matchmakers
While Princess Fenyang was furious, Xu Chong was also complaining to his father: "Father, that bunch of idiots! They've revealed their whereabouts. Should we intervene or not? If we intervene, how can we get away with it? If we ignore it, there are too many hidden dangers. In the end, they are really not clean..."
Xu Shun was calm and composed. He stroked his gray beard and raised his eyebrows at his son: "Why are you so anxious? Can you trace it back to us?"
For an official who has reached this level, even without any instructions, there will be many people vying to help him do his work. Governors-general from other places have to line up if they want to have a relationship with him. He only has a few people under him. Even if he can implicate some people, so what
How many obstacles are there in between? If you get impatient for this, then you're done.
