Master of Rebirth

"Okay." Thinking of her future life, Wang Qi couldn't hide a smile on her face.But before that, everything here must be sorted out, otherwise Zhao Jing will definitely not be able to leave with peace of mind.

One thing Wang Qi still couldn't figure out was that since Wu Zhu had come prepared, Zhao Jing and Zhao Rui would be fine. The emperor and the crown prince had been trapped in the palace for so long, and they were their number one targets. How could they be unscathed?

"Can I ask you something?" Wang Qi said, "Since Wuzhu is determined to rebel, he must be fully prepared. Although Zhou Ying helped a lot by secretly defecting, Shen Yingjie has Habayashi guards in his hands. How could those guards in the bedroom be opponents?"

Zhao Jing smiled and explained to Wang Qi, "Although Wuzhu has decided to rebel, he is not ready to do it so quickly. The accident happened on the portrait of Wuzhu you painted. Although we didn't see the clue at the time, Wuzhu Zhu did not know where he got the news, and he was very afraid of the portrait. When he heard that the prince had someone bring the painting into the palace, he knew something was wrong. Later, the emperor urgently called a group of people into the palace in the middle of the night, and Wuzhu and his son knew that the matter would definitely be revealed They had no choice but to act in advance in a haste."

"It seems that the emperor, like Mr. Zhang, has seen the clue from that portrait." Wang Qi laughed.

Zhao Jing said: "That's right, but the emperor was just skeptical at the time, and didn't think that Shen Rongchang was Wu Zhu. He just wanted to recruit him to test him out. The crown prince was worried that Shen Yingjie's holding the Habayashi Guard would be bad for the emperor, so he suggested that the Eastern Palace's The guards were called in just in case. Unexpectedly, Shen Yingjie was guilty of being a thief, so he used this as an excuse to lie that the prince had rebelled against him, and led people to surround the palace, forcing the emperor to write the imperial edict. Fortunately, the guards of the East Palace had arrived at that time. Coupled with Zhou Ying's secret dealings, there is no danger."

"So that's the case. It seems that the emperor and the crown prince are also working with secret agents." Wang Qi asked, "Is there any news about the spies in our mansion?"

Zhao Jing shook his head and said: "Not yet. After Wu Zhu was captured, all the eyeliners he had planted everywhere were pulled out, but the Zhengxihou Mansion had no clues. Yan Wu had already doubted whether this traitor really existed, Without conclusive evidence, we don't want to investigate with great fanfare, so as not to chill the hearts of all the brothers."

Understanding Zhao Jing's difficulty, Wang Qi said in relief: "Of course it's best not to. Anyway, Wu Zhu has already been captured, and you can investigate the matter later."

……

The palace change caused an uproar in the capital. Although it happened in the palace in the middle of the night, except for those who participated in the scene, most of the ministers who were sleeping at home did not know the inside story.But with the Seventh Prince and Concubine Shen being placed under house arrest, Ning An Bo's mansion was sealed off, and all the people in the mansion were detained, these old foxes in the court could still figure out a lot.

Today, the Forbidden Army has fully taken over Beijing Central Defense, and officials are taken away almost every day.All of a sudden, everyone in the capital was in a state of panic, especially those who had been close to the Seventh Prince in the past, were even more restless, for fear that bad luck would happen to them one day.

"Several cronies under Shen Yingjie admitted to colluding with Hall to murder Moji Khan and blaming us for conquering the Xihou Mansion. But they only admitted that they made the old lady of the Wang family critically ill and sent the Hou Mansion to Yunnan. The specific itinerary of Nan sending the letter to Mr. Wang was disclosed to Huoer Khan, and he did not admit that the person pretending to be Brother Xu went to persuade Granny Ma to poison the prince." Xiuwen said while looking at Zhao Jing's face, "It is the Seventh Prince's. Some of the steward's subordinates confessed that they had been ordered to contact Granny Ma and sent poison."

Hearing this, Zhao Jing was not surprised, "If Wu Zhu took action himself, Brother Xu would definitely not have found so many flaws to prove his innocence. The method of acting is so rough, I think the Seventh Prince probably did it without telling Wu Zhu .”

"This subordinate also thinks so." Xiuwen continued: "Right now, the Seventh Prince and Ning Anbo's house are being pushed against the wall by everyone, and those who have been ambiguous with them are busy drawing the line, and those who are involved are scrambling to go in front of the prince. As for meritorious service, as for those who went to prison, they are not strong bones, they confessed a lot of things before they were sentenced, and tried to be guilty and meritorious. Brother Xu's father's case has also been found out, and his redress is just around the corner."

Xu Baichuan's father was originally the head of the Habayashi guards in the palace. Because he was framed by Wuzhu, he was charged with a major crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The whole family died in prison, and only Xu Baichuan escaped from birth.For so many years, what Xu Baichuan has been thinking of is to find Wuzhu, find out what happened back then, and avenge his father.

"Brother Xu has endured humiliation for so many years and worked hard. It can be said that he has narrowly escaped death. Now that he can get what he wants, if he wants to come to Uncle Xu's spring, he will be able to grow old in peace." Zhao Jing's tone was full of relief: at the same time, it was mixed with A little disappointed.

Knowing that he thought of his mother's grievances, Xiuwen quickly said: "Don't worry, young master. Thanks to the prince's blessing, since we found Cuiyun, the things that happened back then have basically become clear, but there is no opportunity to attack. Right now The Ning Anbo Mansion collapsed, and Shen Yutang lost her protective umbrella, so she can't help but continue to confuse right and wrong."

After finding Cuiyun, Zhao Jing was too busy dealing with the affairs of the palace to care about other things, so he handed over the matter to Xiuwen for investigation.

What happened back then, Shen Yutang did not directly come forward, it was a nun beside her who instigated Cuiyun to betray Shen Yuwei.Now that nanny is getting old, she went to her son's house to enjoy her old age a few years ago.Fortunately, her family is all in the capital, and her son has found a good job in Ning'anbo Mansion.

It's a pity that Concubine Shen Gui and the Seventh Prince were still staying safely in the palace at that time, and Ning Anbo's mansion was also full of beauty.If he moved that nanny rashly, Shen Yutang would definitely be alarmed.After getting the news, Xiuwen didn't dare to act rashly, but lay dormant and waited for the opportunity.Sure enough, the right time has come...

"The Holy Majesty would rather be in vain than indulge. All masters and slaves in Uncle Ning'an's mansion were taken into custody for interrogation, and the nanny's son was among them." Xiuwen said with a smile: "The old lady has recruited all of them to save her son's life. It is Shen Yutang. Jealous of Madam's status as the main wife, and jealous of her giving birth to the eldest son. For his own future, Shen Yutang ordered that woman to bribe Cuiyun to frame the old lady..."

In fact, things are not complicated.

Shen Yutang was used to being arrogant and self-willed, and never took Shen Yuwei, a concubine, seriously.After all, since she entered the mansion, Zhou Ying has been doting on her alone and has never paid attention to Shen Yuwei. Even if she is pregnant with a child, she only cares about Quan Quan's superficial decency.Unexpectedly, after Zhao Jing was born, things changed a bit.As a father, Zhou Yingchu inevitably went to Shen Yutang's place several times because of his son.Although not many times, it still makes Shen Yutang, who is eager to be the first and selfish in everything, feel unhappy, and it is even more unpleasant to see Shen Yuwei and Zhao Jing.

Not long after, Shen Yutang was also happy, and felt that the opportunity had come.As long as she can win a man in one fell swoop, even if she can't persuade Zhou Ying to find a way to abolish Shen Yuwei's mother and son for a while, it can kill her spirit.For this reason, Shen Yutang has been searching for the secret recipe for finding a child in many ways, and even asked Zhou Ying to help her find it.It's a pity that Zhou Ying didn't believe in these heretical ways at all, not only did not look for them, but also sternly warned Shen Yutang not to look for them, and bluntly said that he would like boys and girls.

Since Shen Yutang entered the mansion, Zhou Ying has always been gentle and considerate, and has never turned dark.Facing his warning, Shen Yutang was really frightened for a moment, and almost gave up the idea.But she has always been so used to being strong, how could she tolerate that the concubine who has always looked down upon her is a little bit stronger than herself?So, being obsessed with ghosts, she actually begged for some folk remedies behind Zhou Ying's back.

As the saying goes, if you don't work, you won't die.Those folk remedies really made Shen Yutang sick, and Zhou Ying's warning was vivid in her memory. She didn't dare to let the doctor in the mansion make a diagnosis, let alone let Zhou Ying know, so she could only go to her mother's house for help.After Qin knew about it, she sent a doctor over, euphemistically claiming to help her daughter raise her health.Since it was sent by her mother-in-law, Zhou Ying had no doubts, so she happily invited him in.

"The doctor diagnosed that the folk prescription Shen Yutang took contained a lot of poison, which was harmful to the fetus. If this fetus is not removed in time, it will threaten the mother itself. If it is serious, she may not be able to conceive again in the future." There was a hint of it in Xiuwen's tone. He took pleasure in other's misfortune, and then said in a deep voice: "Shen Yutang originally wanted to use this child to show off in front of the old lady, but who knew that it was counterproductive and shot her own foot with a stone, so she was naturally annoyed. But if this child disappears inexplicably, Zhou Ying will definitely investigate thoroughly. Therefore, Shen Yutang and the Qin family came up with a poisonous plan."

They all knew what happened next, so Xiuwen didn't say anything more.

Although he already knew the truth in his heart, Zhao Jing still couldn't help but feel sad when he learned the truth of the year.

"Little Marquis, are you alright?" Xiuwen asked worriedly while supporting Zhao Jing who was a little unstable.

"I'm fine." Waving his hand, Zhao Jing said in a deep voice.

In fact, when Zhao Jing asked Xiuwen to come here today, he intended to let him take the opportunity to investigate what happened back then.I didn't expect Xiuwen to move so fast, and he had already found out.

Conquering all the emotions in his heart, Zhao Jing patted Xiuwen on the shoulder, and praised: "Brother Lao, don't worry. There are so many things these days, and I have been so busy that I have been so busy. I didn't expect you to remember this."

"Young Lord is serious, and my subordinates don't dare to take credit." Xiuwen said a little embarrassedly: "In the end, I would like to thank you, Mr. Wang, for your suggestion. If it weren't for him, my subordinates would not have thought that this is a good opportunity for investigation. "

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi greeted Xiuwen before reminding him. Zhao Jing just felt a warm flow into his heart, filling his whole heart with warmth.

Hiding his gratitude and love for Wang Qi, Zhao Jing patted Xiuwen's shoulder heavily, and said, "Brother, what are you talking about, you have worked hard these few days, and I will definitely thank you in the next day."

"Young Lord, don't worry, now the old lady and Uncle Xu's grievances have progressed. After they are rehabilitated, the subordinates will definitely congratulate the young Lord and Brother Xu." Xiuwen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Jing was very happy. He returned to his seat and sat down, and then said: "Although that nanny has already admitted everything, I am afraid that things will change. Although Ning'anbo's mansion has collapsed, it will definitely Beihou's Mansion and Zhou Ying are still there. What if the old woman backtracks in court, saying that we are avenging our private revenge, threatening her with my son's life to slander Shen Yutang, and torture her. At that time, we will not be able to tell. Only she and Cuiyun can’t do it, we have to get more solid evidence.”

"Young Lord, don't worry." Xiuwen smiled slyly, "When the people below went to see the nanny, they lied that they were from the old lady's grandfather's family. Now that they are officials, they come back to seek justice for my cousin. The old lady I was already guilty, and with Ning An Bo's mansion collapsed, Shen Yutang couldn't protect herself, and her son's life and death were unknown. After being threatened with a few words, she was all recruited. Even if she retorted in the future, she would not be able to bite the head of our Zhengxihou mansion. superior."

Zhao Jing nodded in satisfaction, "Good job."

"In addition to that nanny, my subordinates also found the doctor who was sent by Ning Anbo's mansion to give Shen Yutang an abortion." Xiuwen continued: "After Shen Yutang's miscarriage was raised, the doctor left Zhengxihou's mansion and went to Opened a medical center in the capital. I heard from the neighbors that people in Ning'anbo's mansion went to him to see any ailments. Taking advantage of the momentum of Ning'anbo's mansion, the business in the store was quite prosperous. Now the emperor ordered a strict investigation In Ning'an Bo's house, anyone who is involved will inevitably go in and take a look around. This subordinate inadvertently raised a few words with a few adults, and they invited the doctor in for questioning."

Seeing Xiuwen's expression, Zhao Jing knew that he must have gained something, and quickly asked, "But what did you find out?"

"I have gained a lot." Xiuwen said with a smile: "The doctor is a habitual offender. Over the years, he has helped some 'big families' to 'solve problems' and done all kinds of dirty things. At the beginning, he insisted that he was just a Those who cure diseases and save lives have nothing to do with the officialdom. They were all recruited not long after the sentence was executed. He also knew that he was helping others and doing too many bad things. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would become the scapegoat of those big shots, so he secretly saved his life."

After saying this, Xiuwen handed something to Zhao Jing, "Young Master, please take a look, this is Shen Yutang's pulse case recorded by the doctor at that time."

Zhao Jing didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly took it and read it. It recorded Shen Yutang's physical condition and medication in detail, and the date and month were clearly marked.

"After coming up with a poisonous plan, Shen Yutang originally wanted to kill the child on the day Granny Ma delivered the soup. It's a pity that although the old lady's servants are not many, they are all loyal. The safflower is hidden in the old lady's room." Xiuwen explained: "Shen Yutang has endured for a few more days, and I really can't delay any longer, so I can only secretly beat the child first."

While speaking, Zhao Jing had finished reading the pulse case, and said directly: "In other words, Shen Yutang had already had a miscarriage. But she concealed it and did not report it. After getting rid of the maid next to her mother, she acted out a scene of a fake miscarriage." .”

"That's right." Xiuwen said: "The doctor kept Shen Yutang's handle as a guarantee. Unexpectedly, the Ning'an House gave him a lot of benefits afterwards, and he carefully hid this evidence until I just showed up today. Dali Temple also has a record of this matter. However, it has no direct relationship with the Ning'anbo Mansion, and no one cares about it for the time being. Young Lord, there are all witnesses and evidences. When Shen Yutang is exposed, I will wait for you It was an order."

Zhao Jing shook his head and said, "I am now the eldest son of Zhengxi, and I have nothing to do with the Shen family of the Zhou family. It is inappropriate for us to come forward in this matter. It is a pity that there are no people in my mother's grandparents' house, so I just let grandma accompany Cuiyun. Dali Temple surrendered itself and brought this matter out first. Grandma has nothing to do with Zhengxihou Mansion on the surface, and she is also mother’s nanny, so it’s only natural for her to seek justice for the old master.”

"This plan is very good. I believe Granny Ma is also willing to be the sufferer and avenge the old lady herself." Xiuwen said.

"Yes, grandma has been looking forward to this day for a long time. When Dali Temple is free, let them go." After arranging this matter, Zhao Jing's heart was also slightly relieved.He then asked: "How is the investigation by the spies in our house?"

"There is no news yet." Xiuwen shook his head and said, "According to the Imperial Army who was with Shen Yingjie at the time, Shen Yingjie decided to trick Lord Hou into the palace after receiving a letter. As for who sent the letter?" Yes, no one knows. Now that Wuzhu and Shen Yingjie are dead, we haven't found that letter, and it may have been destroyed by Shen Yingjie long ago. Young Master, why didn't Big Brother Xu ask Shen Yingjie?"

Zhao Jing sighed and said, "You've been busy outside these few days, so you don't know what's going on in the palace."

It turned out that after Shen Yingjie and his son were captured, they were secretly imprisoned in the inner punishment court in the palace.The emperor ordered his cronies to interrogate him strictly, and he was bound to wipe out the roots.Maybe you also know that the general situation is gone and there is no way to recover, so it is better to die early to save suffering.They didn't know what method they used, they were suddenly poisoned and died, and even the officials and guards who interrogated them were poisoned.

The imperial doctor speculated that Shen Yingjie and his son may have taken a special poison in advance, which is extremely poisonous, and can turn the poisoned person into a strong poison, harming those who are close.As for what kind of poison it was, the imperial doctor couldn't say for sure.Fortunately, the emperor and prince were not present at that time, otherwise they would suffer.

Wuzhu has always been scheming and vicious, and it's not impossible for him to do vicious things after death.Hearing this, everyone immediately changed their faces, wishing to throw their corpses out of the palace immediately, the farther the better.It's a pity that the emperor was deceived by Wuzhu time and time again, and he was already frightened.He was worried that this was just a cover-up method for Wuzhu Jinchan to get rid of its shell, and he refused to transport the corpse out of the palace for disposal.

Besides, the emperor hated Wu Zhu to the bone, wished to have him skinned and cramped, and his body cut into ten thousand pieces, naturally he didn't want him to die so easily.Although the five-horse body split after death is not enough to relieve anger, at least it can vent anger and ensure that people will die thoroughly.However, when Wuzhu was about to die, he wanted to disgust the emperor. After death, he turned into a big poison, which would be affected even if he got close to it.

Since he couldn't use a knife, the prince suggested that he should just set it on fire.But the poison was really strange, and the imperial doctor couldn't guarantee whether there was any residual poison in the ashes.If it is poisonous, when the wind blows, the fine ashes will float with the wind, and no one can control it.

The prince had no choice but to seal the cell, remove all the detainees around him, and send people to guard him outside the cell just in case.

"Maybe the emperor was scared because he was afraid that the father and son would come back to life, so he had to watch the corpse being dismembered before his own eyes to feel at ease. But now that the emperor is in such a body, how could he let him take risks!" Mentioning this matter, Zhao Jing was also very embarrassed.

Knowing Wuzhu's death, Xiuwen was shocked, and then asked in disbelief, "Is his father and son really dead?"

"You are so suspicious too! Everyone including the emperor has this suspicion." Looking up at Xiuwen, Zhao Jing smiled helplessly, "Wu Zhu is full of tricks, it is not surprising that he does anything. What's more, the dead body is so poisonous that even the imperial physician has fallen down several times. No one can get close to check it. It is understandable that the emperor has concerns. But thinking about it from another angle, he should be dead after being poisoned by such a powerful poison. ?”

Xiuwen couldn't answer this question, so he nodded vaguely, and then asked worriedly: "Who is guarding the corpses of Wu Zhu and his son?"

Zhao Jing said: "The emperor sent the imperial guards to guard, and His Royal Highness asked us to send people there too. Brother Xu let Jinli go. Don't worry, the emperor is more nervous than us. Wu Zhu must be guarded perfectly, not a single fly can fly out. "

"What the young master said is true." Xiuwen said with a smile.
