Chapter 913: The temptation in the Shun Palace

Views:

Yuan Qingling and Yu Wenhao glanced at each other. The King of Southern Xinjiang, as expected, entered the palace for the King of Southern Xinjiang. It was not necessarily an assassination. It is possible that the two of them knew what was inside, but they couldn't trust others, so they could only find a way to enter the palace. Report to the emperor.

It is a pity that these two people were killed, even if they knew who killed the King of Southern Xinjiang, there would be no way to know.

"Then during the time they entered the palace, apart from breaking into the palace of the Supreme Emperor, did they do anything else?" Yu Wenhao asked.

General Luo racked his brains and thought for a while, "There is really no other clue, oh, yes, their bodies were thrown out of the palace at that time, and they were thrown on the mass graves in Nanshan. I looked for clues on the corpse, but found that the corpse had been taken away."

"Take it away? Was it chewed by a wild dog?" Yu Wenhao said.

"No, the Weichen went to the mass grave the next day. Even if the corpse was gnawed by wild dogs, the clothes and footwear would remain, but they were not found. It can almost be confirmed that they were taken away."

"In other words, someone collected their bodies for burial?" Yuan Qingling thought for a while, "If this is the case, there must be people from them in Beijing. Didn't you continue to investigate them afterwards?"

General Luo said: "I searched for a circle nearby, and found traces of piles of rocks and burning on the mountain about three miles away. The customs of Nanjiang people were cremated after their death. Unfortunately, no one was found to bury them at the time. However, Judging from this incineration specification, the identities of these two people should not be ordinary people."

"Incineration specifications?" Yuan Qing was startled.

Yu Wenhao explained: "Yes, the identity can be seen from the pile of stones. If it is an ordinary citizen, pile a layer of stones to form a circle, and the corpse is placed in the circle and burned. If it is a noble official or a local elder, pile two layers. From the fifth floor, there is a stone step to show their dignity, General Luo, what floor did you say you saw?"

General Luo said: "Three floors!"

"On the third floor, that must be the subject of the Southern Xinjiang King."

Yuan Qing Ling looked at him blankly. The third floor must be someone of a very high position, but he would rather go into the palace and meet the emperor. It can be seen that what they have to say is by no means simple. I believe that the death of the King of Southern Xinjiang is very big. relationship.

After sending General Luo away, Yu Wenhao was very puzzled, "If you say there were people from them in Beijing at that time, why didn't you continue to think of a solution? Isn't it just the two people who couldn't help but sacrifice?"

Yuan Qing Ling thoughtfully said, "Perhaps, there is something more important than avenging the King of Southern Xinjiang."

"You mean Man'er? However, Man'er has drifted very far over the years and suffered a lot. It can be seen that there is no Southern Xinjiang from Jingzhong who knows her identity. Otherwise, how could she not come out to protect her? And let her be a slave everywhere. ."

"Man'er said that she was accompanied by two mothers-in-law to Beijing, but those two mothers-in-law died, do you think it was Man'er's mother-in-law who buried the two? Then they died after a short while So I left Man'er and struggled to survive in Beijing alone."

Yu Wenhao thought for a while, "There is a possibility."

Yuan Qingling told him Aunt Qing's unusual reaction after seeing Man'er. The two analyzed it and felt that another meeting should be arranged.

At the moment, we can't just guess, we must grasp as much truth as possible, at least, the relationship between Aunt Qing and Man'er must be known.

Now that the news is released, it can attract an Aunt Qing and more people. This is just the beginning.

King Shun’s mansion was finally ready to enter the house. The palaces and the emperor and ministers all gave gifts. For a while, the gifts were piled up like a mountain, but they were not demolished in time, so they were piled up in the warehouse for people to slowly organize records.

But at this moment, the imperial palace storehouse lost a batch of gold, as much as four thousand taels. Because the imperial concubine was in charge of the harem, the people in the inner palace first reported it to the imperial concubine.

Although the queen is no matter what happened now, her status is still there, so the imperial concubine still reported the matter to the queen. After listening, the queen didn't say anything, just asked the imperial concubine to investigate.

However, the people in the Queen’s Palace spread the news that Prince Shun gave the Eighth Prince two thousand taels of gold.

When Prince Shun came back from the expedition, the emperor gave a reward of one thousand taels of gold. If he gave them all to the eighth prince, it would be only one thousand taels at most. Why would there be two thousand taels

In order to avoid suspicion, the queen called the emperor's concubine to check it out, and it turned out that the eighth prince's gold had a thousand taels printed with the seal of Neiku.

The eighth prince was very nervous, not allowing anyone in the palace to touch his gold, saying that it was given to him by his younger brother, and rushing people away frantically, looking very scary.

The queen had to say: "Well, whether the gold is from the inner palace or not, please fill it back from this palace. The palace has not been peaceful recently. Don't say that the inner library is lost. Even the palace has lost a lot of things. Even a lot of things were lost in the eighth emperor's womb. Why don't you know what the thief was doing? It's nothing more than stealing gold and silver jewelry. Isn't it addictive to steal even things?"

The imperial concubine had no choice but to send someone out of the palace to Shun Palace. After all, the annual silver in the palace was fixed. Four thousand taels of gold could be exchanged for forty thousand taels of silver. The Mid-Autumn Festival expenses were all in it.

If the gold is not recovered, the imperial concubine will be suspected of inadequate management of the accounts, and will have to advance the expenditure to meet the Mid-Autumn Festival expenses.

The Shun Palace was still messy. Yuan Qingling brought Man'er, Ah Si, Qi Luo, Lu Ya and others to help. Rong Yue also brought a lot of people. After all, this Shun Palace didn’t even have a mistress, old man. Nine is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand this.

The people in the palace helped to check, even the queen sent someone out, and Aunt Qing also directed the people to work, and when he turned around, he saw Ah Si coming in with Man'er and the others.

Aunt Qing's eyes were erratic for a moment, and after a moment of stagnation, she turned around and continued to give orders, but her voice changed obviously.

"Man'er, your pig's head is not good at work, so go to the corner and arrange with Qiluo, small snacks, don't touch anything broken, otherwise you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it." A Si said to Man'er. The tone suddenly became very bad, arrogantly.

Man'er was startled, and chuckled, "Oh, good."

A Si pushed her back with one hand, stumbling her and bumping her behind Aunt Qing, "Hurry up, otherwise I don't want to eat tonight."

Man'er was a little aggrieved. She didn't know why Ah Si was angry with her, but the number of people was hard to ask, so she only said sorry to Aunt Qing.

Aunt Qing looked at her, her face visibly softened, "It's okay, you can go to the corner."

"Good!" Man'er and Lu Ya walked over.

Aunt Qing looked at Ah Si with no expression on her face, but there was a strange look in her eyes, which seemed to be angry.

A four can't see it, strode past.

Before long, she heard her acrimonious voice again, "You are still not convinced that you are a pig brain. These are all porcelain. Can you put it on the ground? Can you afford it if you trip over your head? Go away, take a broom and go out to clean. You are worthy of some rough work if you have a rough background."

Aunt Qing bent down and looked over. Seeing Ah Si pointing her finger at Man'er's head, Man'er's face was full of grievance and consternation, tears rolling in his eyes.

She paused, dropped what was in her hand and walked over quickly.
