[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

Chapter 8 The Murder Case 1

The emperor at that time was only about twenty people, his face was white and beardless, gorgeous and dignified, he looked less majestic and more benevolent, he was worthy of being Renzong.

When Pang Yu and his son met, Zhao Zhen was reviewing the memorial.

As soon as the father and son's greetings fell, Zhao Zhen immediately said, "Excuse me, Tai Shi and An Lehou, get up!" He put the memorial aside first, and looked at his brother-in-law who hadn't seen him for a long time with a smile.

That smile is similar to Master Bao's mysterious smile.

No matter how you look at it, how scary.

Pang Yu hurriedly buried his head lower, and heard his emperor's brother-in-law say: "Marquis An Le raised his head, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to have lost weight?" .

Taishi Pang is used to speculating about the holy will, so he immediately wiped his tears with his sleeve and cried: "Your Majesty! You have to make decisions for the old minister and his son! Yu'er has suffered a catastrophe in Chenzhou this time, and I don't know what kind of villain has set his mind on Yu'er!" If it wasn't for that Bao Hei... Master Bao, he would have almost died unjustly!!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly comforted him: "Grand Master, don't be sad, I have ordered Bao Qing to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will definitely pay Grand Master and An Lehou justice in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The father and son saluted and thanked each other.

The three monarchs and ministers all knew very well that the case of Chen Zhou was over, and the rest was about Zhao Zhen and Bao Zheng, without the Pangs and his sons.

Bao Zheng once analyzed the motives of the people behind the scenes for Zhao Zhen. There are three situations: one is to have a death feud with An Lehou, and he will never die; There is no hatred, but he wants to attack Grand Master Pang, forcing Bao Zheng to kill Pang Yu, making Zhao Zhen's two officials turn against each other, and creating a gap between the emperor and the grand master.

As a not-so-stupid emperor, Zhao Zhen knew the analysis of the letter as soon as he heard it.

Moreover, the people behind the scenes were clever, they only used a squire, and almost caused Pang Yu to die under the guillotine. Can ordinary revenge seekers have such a scheming plan?

So this matter has clearly come to an end, but Bao Zheng is still investigating secretly, but since it was handed over to Bao Zheng, there is no need to let the Pang family father and son get involved again. Everyone knows that Bao Zheng and Pang Taishi are at odds in the court. Yes, if they investigate the case together, it will attract unnecessary attention, and it is easy to scare the snake away.

However, only Zhao Zhen and Grand Master Pang thought of all this in a single thought, but Pang Yu was not that smart. He just felt that the atmosphere was not right and it was not appropriate to talk about the case, so he followed his father and kept silent.

The three monarchs and ministers chatted for a while, and Zhao Zhen spoke, asking An Lehou to take this opportunity of entering the palace to meet his sister Concubine Pang, and then left Grand Master Pang to chat alone in the imperial study.

Is this spreading yourself?Could it be that the emperor and father have something important to discuss?

Walking on the road, Pang Yu wondered while recalling the expressions of Zhao Zhen and Grand Master Pang in the imperial study.At this time in his previous life, Pang Yu was already in the underworld, and he couldn't see what happened at this time even in the Nie Jingtai, so he could only secretly worry in his heart, his father must not mess up what his brother-in-law told him ah……

If Grand Master Pang hears his son's heartfelt voice, no matter how much he spoils his son, his beard will explode in anger——Even if Grand Master Pang becomes fat like a dumpling, he is not a mascot!

Pang Yu was led to Concubine Pang's palace by the maid, and before he entered, he heard a series of silver bell-like laughter from inside.

A court lady came out of it, and she was Concubine Pang's confidant Jian Jia.She quickly whispered in Pang Yu's ear, "Princess Huanyu is inside", then smiled slightly at the palace maid next to the emperor, and told her to go back first.

After Jian Jia took Pang Yu in, the laughter of the two young women stopped and they looked at Pang Yu together.

"I have seen the imperial concubine, Your Royal Highness." Pang Yu quickly knelt down.

"Well, get up." Before the noble concubine could speak, the princess spoke first, with an attitude of condescension and grace.The princess put down the teacup and put the lid on the cup—an ancient custom, serving the teacup is to see off guests, and covering the cup is to say goodbye. Princess Shi Shiran stood up and said to Concubine Pang: "Your siblings must have something to say , I will go back first.”

After speaking, he glanced at Pang Yu, passed him by, and gave Pang Yu a face full of fragrance.

"Ah!" Pang Yu rubbed his nose until the princess left. Before he could ask, Concubine Pang quickly pulled his wrist and told him to sit down, "Yu'er, tell my sister quickly, you What happened in Chenzhou!"

"Sister... Why don't you tell me first, why is that princess who never goes to the Three Treasures Palace free to visit you today?" Pang Yu still glanced at the door with lingering fear.

That Princess Huanyu was none other than the concubine (Chen Shimei) who was killed by Bao Zheng. Now that the concubine is dead, she has moved back to the palace. She just gave birth to the posthumous son of the former concubine a few months ago, and she rarely stepped on her. out of the palace.

Seeing that they are all her own people here, Concubine Pang no longer put on her noble and dignified appearance, and rolled her eyes at her younger brother, "That's a trouble-maker, after a few days of rest, he wants to make trouble again!"

Concubine Pang snorted coldly, and whispered to Pang Yu: "When the son-in-law was still there, he would push the son-in-law all day long to dig out trees, dig birds and fish in the water. If she hadn't pushed too hard, the son-in-law would not have killed the original wife. You know, I I heard that Qin Xianglian didn't intend to sue Chen Shimei at first, and was planning to take the two children back to the countryside, but the princess insisted on snatching the two children. Let them do handyman's work, clean the floor and wash clothes, and starve if they feel dissatisfied! Later, she became pregnant with the son-in-law's flesh and blood, and urged the son-in-law to send the two children to the palace. The girl became a maid, and the boy Be a eunuch!"

Pang Yu let out an "Ah", his face was full of horror, "Princess--is she so vicious?!"

"Hmph, isn't it? If she hadn't been the emperor's own sister—oh, now the truth about the case of the civet cat being exchanged for the prince has come to light, the Holy Mother's mother is the Queen Mother Li! I just said, how could there be such a character as the emperor? Sister, it turned out that the root cause of the problem!"

Empress Dowager Liu had always disliked Concubine Pang before, fearing that she would threaten her status as empress dowager because of her good background, she refused to let the emperor make her queen, and even promoted the daughters of those rank six or seven rank officials, which forced her to be like Pang Concubine. Concubine Pang was on an equal footing, and Concubine Pang was secretly gnashing her teeth with anger, but due to her status and filial piety, she couldn't do anything.

Now it is the sage Empress Dowager Li who is in charge of the harem, and this has raised Concubine Pang's rank as a noble concubine, allowing Concubine Pang to have a bright future.

Correspondingly, Princess Huanyu, the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Liu, had a difficult time in the palace.

"Even if the Empress Dowager Liu entered the cold palace, the princess never stopped." Concubine Pang sneered again, "Eunuch Liu next to her, I don't know what his identity is, and he planned the 'safflower case' by giving the princess a chance to vent his anger." '."

"I've heard of this!" Pang Yu hurriedly continued, "The father-in-law next to the princess bought a martial arts master, deliberately left a flower made of red silk after the murder, and then took the opportunity to plant it on Zhan's guard, which almost killed him. Zhan Zhao died in Huangquan!"

Concubine Pang nodded: "That's right, that's the case. It's a pity that the princess didn't know the true face of Eunuch Liu until the end. If he just vented his anger for the princess, it would be the same to kill anyone. Why didn't he let the killer wipe out those corrupt officials? They are all outspoken, loyal ministers and well-known arresters in the capital?! This person has ulterior motives, and his plans are not small! The hateful thing finally happened, Mr. Liu committed suicide in fear of crime, drank a glass of poisoned wine, and couldn't ask anything..."

Pang Yu couldn't help admiring in his heart, his father was right, his sister is a female Zhuge!She never stepped out of the palace, but she was able to connect all the affairs of the harem and previous courts together, which can be said to have unique insight and exquisite thoughts.

Taishi Pang sighed more than once, it would be great if the genders of the son and daughter could be swapped, the son has such a beautiful head but is an idiot, and the daughter is very intelligent but not a man, if the daughter is a son, with her in the court, It will not be a problem for the Pang family to prosper for three generations!

"By the way, sister, what's wrong with the princess looking for you today?" Pang Yu felt uncomfortable when he thought of the princess who looked like an incense burner.

"Yu'er, you've just returned to Beijing, so I'm afraid you haven't heard about the Taiwei's family." Concubine Pang suddenly laughed.

"About the matter of the Taiwei's family?" Pang Yu asked in confusion, "What does the matter of the Taiwei's family have to do with the princess?"

"Hehe, do you know that the son-in-law of the Taiwei, the number one scholar, Liu Tao, also has an ex-wife in his hometown?" Concubine Pang took a sip of tea unhurriedly, moistened her throat, and then continued, "Then Liu Tao Two years ago, he was kidnapped by bandits on his way to Beijing for the exam. He was forced to work as an accountant in the cottage for two years due to the bandit's power. Later, the Taiwei led the army to suppress the bandits. Seeing Liu Tao's writing was well written and appreciating his talent, he decided to let him go. He even helped him come to Beijing to take the exam, and he really won the first prize. The Taiwei intends to marry his daughter to him and ask the emperor to marry him. Liu Tao never told him that he has a family background, so he just married the Taiwei. Daughter. Not long ago, Liu Tao’s original spouse came to Beijing to find a husband, and everyone knew about the trouble, and there will be no peace in the Taiwei’s family!"

"What does this have to do with the princess?" Pang Yu was still confused.

"Don't you think Liu Tao is in the same situation as Chen Shimei?" Concubine Pang asked with a smile.

"But... Liu Tao didn't kill his wife and son, right? The princess can't ask Bao Zheng to kill him!" Pang Yu said.

Concubine Pang shook her head and smiled, "Liu Tao wanted to take his widowed mother and his wife into the Taiwei's mansion. The Taiwei didn't want to, but he couldn't hold back his daughter's plea. He originally wanted to agree, but..."

"Just what?" Pang Yu said anxiously, "Sister, don't be tricky!"

"What are you in a hurry for?" Concubine Pang looked at her impetuous younger brother with a funny face, "It's just that the princess stepped in and said to the Taifu, 'Since you saved his life, Liu Tao should kill himself in return for your life-saving. kindness'!"

Afterwards, the emperor learned of these words, and the princess was naturally "educated" by Zhao Zhen.

Concubine Pang also said as a joke that she didn't take the princess's plea to heart at all, and she was not going to go to Zhao Zhen to say good things to the princess. She hated the Empress Dowager Liu and her daughter for being too late, so how could she plead for her?

The princess is also a muddleheaded person, she can't recognize the true colors of the people around her, she is being played around, and she can't read other people's minds, thinking that the princess should be superior and everyone will support her.

Pang Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Then she came here today... to ask my sister to blow a pillow and say something nice for her? But I don't think she is asking you for something, but it seems like my sister is asking her for something, princess I don't like answering."

"She's just like that, just get used to it, and take it for fun." Concubine Pang said indifferently.

Pang Yu shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what kind of curse the number one scholar of this dynasty has received, and each of them has a terrible fate-the son-in-law was killed; ;Now the son-in-law of the Taifu is almost forced to commit suicide..."

"Pfft——" Concubine Pang almost spit out a sip of tea, and quickly patted her chest to comfort herself, "Brother, it's rare for you to hit the nail on the head!"
