Cuiyang glanced around and saw that there was no ear on the partition wall, and Xuan'er, who was in the same room as Yue'er, hadn't come back yet, so she said: "At the beginning, Concubine Yigui wanted to marry our Liu family, and the one she met was the second lady...provided but What is Concubine Yigui doing? We people can’t say but it doesn’t mean we don’t know. The Seventh Prince is fighting to the death with the Crown Prince in the court. Isn’t it for the monstrous position? Our prime minister has always been loyal to the Crown Prince, so Concubine Yigui clearly has Suspicion of courting, the so-called loyal ministers do not matter to the second master, how dare the prime minister send our family's concubine to the Seven Kings, and in the end it will be evenly distributed, so we have to send the eldest lady to make up for it."
Cuiyang continued to sigh: "Miss is good, just leave like that, I'm not saying too much, the prime minister offended the seven kings, although the crown prince has a little more trust in our Liu family because of this, but in the palace, madam and old madam But it can't be wiped away. Our prime minister's mansion is put on the bright side, and it is very inconvenient to do things. I heard the old lady often say that it is all the fault of the young lady. If the young lady is not ignorant, how could the prime minister do it overnight? He has made countless enemies in the court, and he is completely incompatible with the Seven Kings' Party. Although the crown prince takes care of us, he doesn't just protect us. The prime minister has a hard time walking in the court, even with the eldest and second young masters. "
Yue'er listened and broke out in a sweat: "Miss, is it so important?"
"Important?" Cuiyang snorted contemptuously: "She is not important, but she has offended important people. Who would have thought that a concubine would dare to be so restless! She escaped marriage, thanks to her! The lady from the official family, who didn’t leave the door, ran away alone. The wolves, tigers and leopards outside may have died somewhere. Thousands of pillows with jade arms, and red lips tasted by thousands of people, it is better to marry the Seventh Prince and be a side concubine."
Yue'er was upset when she heard it, but she didn't dare to refute.
Cuiyang glanced at her sister again, and said, "So from now on, don't mention Missy anymore."
Yue'er replied vaguely: "I just thought of it suddenly."
"They're all from the past, what's there to think about?"
Yue'er stopped talking, but the image of the graceful and handsome young master in his heart was still vivid in front of his eyes, like a thorn stuck in his heart, which couldn't be pulled out, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Three days later, as soon as Yue'er was able to get out of bed, she immediately ran to the first-grade building to guard, but after waiting for a day, seeing that it was almost dusk, she did not see Mr. Qingjun again, so she had to return in vain.
When Yue'er returned to the mansion, he saw that the mansion had become a mess.
Seeing her come back, Mother Qin immediately sent someone up to catch her, Yue'er was at a loss: "Mother Qin, what are you doing?"
"You little bastard, what did you go out for a whole day today?"
Yue'er was a little flustered, could it be that he went to inquire about the eldest lady and was found out
Thinking of the cousin's exhortations before, the eldest lady is already a sinner in Liu's mansion, and any contamination has touched the scales of the masters and wives, Yue'er suddenly dared not admit it, so she could only stammer: "I, I just went out for a stroll. Let's go, Mother Qin, today's servants rest and take a bath, it's okay."
"Go shopping?" Mother Qin grinned grimly with her old face, "I think you won't shed tears when you see the coffin, so where did you abduct Fifth Young Master?"
"What?" Yue'er was startled suddenly, not knowing why: "Five, fifth young master? Slave, this servant has never seen the fifth young master."
"Haven't you seen it? Someone, bring her to me in front of Mrs. Madam, and I'll see if she admits it or not when the board fell on her!"
When Yue'er heard that he was going to hit the board again, he was even more confused: "Mother Qin, Mother Qin, you are wronged, this servant is really just going out for a stroll, and I don't know what happened to the fifth young master, Mother Qin, Mother Qin, The slaves really don’t know.”
The voice of begging for mercy gradually faded away, until Nanny Qin led someone to escort Yue'er into the inner courtyard, and the maids in the outer courtyard began to discuss.
"Yue'er is really unlucky. Today, Xiu Mu was able to go out of the mansion to play, but because she was not in the mansion, Fifth Young Master disappeared, and she was to blame."
"What can I do? The fifth young master is my wife's mistress. My wife gave birth to the fifth young master when she was over 40 years old. She has been doting on the fifth young master all the time. Now he just disappeared in the yard like this. It's okay. , just suspected, like her, I heard that there are a few more, and they may not all lose their lives, but the nurses and maids who took care of the Fifth Young Master, I heard that three have been killed, and the others are still alive. punishment."
"It's terrible, you say, was the fifth young master really abducted by people in the house? Why do I feel like it?"
"Shhh." The other person blocked the man's mouth and warned: "Don't talk nonsense. At this time, the master and wife would rather believe that it was done by the inner thief. If they were taken away by 'that', I am afraid that the fifth young master will really die"
A few maidservants were sweating all over their bodies and their backs felt cold, they felt a shiver, and hurriedly left, not daring to make any more arrangements.
At this time, inside Jingzhao Yin's yamen, Liu Wei was holding a whole stack of appendices in his hands, looking at them seriously.
These appendices are the main things she will do when she comes to Beijing this time. Looking at the lines of words above, Liu Wei's brows became more and more tightly frowned.
In the past three years, there have been children missing one after another in the palace of the imperial court in Beijing, and in the aristocratic mansion of the sect. The emperor was furious when he found out about it. the bodies of these children. Because people were killed, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Military Affairs also got involved, but after three years, many suspects were found, but none of them were the real culprits. In the last year, some children began to disappear, and
Seeing a certain line, Liu Wei raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shocked: "The sixteenth prince is also lost?"
Rong Leng on the side put down the teacup in his hand and nodded lightly: "The Sixteenth Brother was captured when he returned to his natal home with his mother and concubine during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year."
Liu Wei continued to read the appendix, and saw that on the page of population details, the column of identity did say "Sixteen Princes, Rong Yun", while the column of age said one year old.
The one-year-old child was lost just like that, and a year has passed, and his life and death are still uncertain.
She sighed and asked, "What's the result of Jing Zhaoyin's investigation?"
Rong Leng glanced at Master Jing Zhao Yinlin who was waiting for the case.
Lin Sheng took a step forward and bowed his head in shame: "My lord, I have found nothing so far, but my subordinates have sent out all the people who can be sent out, but those thieves are like ghosts and ghosts, leaving no clues. Not only our Kyoto Yamen, but also the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War have not made any progress."
This is bringing the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War into the water.
Liu Wei put down the appendix and asked, "Are there any corpses now?"
Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, those are the sons of important ministers, and they were immediately taken back by various families as soon as they were discovered. The most recent corpse was taken away half a month ago. , was buried ten days ago."
Liu Wei looked at Rong Leng: "Without a corpse, I can't investigate."
