Chapter 340

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Shuyao heard about the farce of the Zhen family in Murong Mansion.

In fact, in Aunt Dong's words, everyone in the capital now knows it. If you stand in the street, you can guarantee that you can hear them vividly describing the fact that the Zhen Mansion and his group carried two coffins into Murong Mansion. Or the second master of the Zhen family was walking by the river alone, and ended up almost hitting and killing by a carriage.

Two coffins? Shu Yao was stunned. Who in Zhen’s house died?

Mother Liu also shook her head and immediately went out for inquiries.

That night, Jin Xida did not return home for dinner. It was not until everyone had almost finished their meals that they saw Jin Xida come back with anger.

Shuwen was sharp-eyed: "Enjoyed Father, who made you angry?" Isn't it a happy thing for my sister to be named Princess Fuxing today?

The old lady, Shujie and others also looked over with concern. On weekdays, no matter what they are busy with or what they encounter, Jin Xida usually won’t bring back bad emotions. What’s wrong today? Was he scolded by the emperor?

Jin Xida did not hide it: "I didn't mess with me, I just had never seen someone who was inferior to animals." Jin Xida asked himself. Even for the father who had wanted to get his blood, he could not do such an inhumane thing.

Today, someone went to the Kyoto Prefectural Office to submit an unsigned lawsuit, suing Murong Ziye for poisoning his father's body, saying that Murong Shangshu had died four months ago, and said that if the yamen did not send the imperial physician to inspect it quickly, Murong Shangshu's body would turn into a pool of blood within three days.

The Kyoto Prefecture Principal had never heard of this poison called "survival", but he still did not dare to neglect it. He quickly reported to the Minister of Justice. If such a horrible thing is concealed without authorization, if anyone reveals it and verifies it, the Kyoto Prefecture Principal will definitely do it. In particular, the secret letter also said that the content of the letter had been copied and scattered on the street.

The Minister of Justice and the Prefecture of Kyoto quickly entered the palace to meet the saint and asked for support from the imperial physician. At the gate of the palace, he also encountered two censors who picked up letters on the street and rushed into the palace to ask for the emperor. The censors have always been more active than anyone else in this kind of matter. The Prefecture of Kyoto secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but fortunately he did not hesitate for too long.

At that time, Jin Xida happened to be talking to the emperor in the Imperial Study room. The emperor directly asked him to take two imperial physicians who were good at identifying poisons and go to Murong Mansion to check with the Kyoto Prefecture.

When Jin Xida and her party arrived at Murong Mansion, Concubine Li and Murong Ziye naturally refused to let the imperial physician "disturb" Murong Shangshu, and only said that the cause of death had been found.

Jin Xida said coldly: "The Emperor said that the Murong family has served as officials for three generations. They have done a lot for the court. In order to commemorate Mr. Murong, they specially gave a pair of glass coffins, which were stopped for three days so that colleagues and officials could take turns to pay tribute. The emperor would personally go to Murong's mansion to worship on the third day. The glass coffin will be delivered tomorrow morning." In other words, three days later, Murong Ziye can carry the coffin back to his hometown. It is still a transparent glass coffin.

Before Mrs. Murong had time to be happy for such great glory, with a "thump", Murong Ziye sat on the ground, his whole body trembling uncontrollably...

When Jin Xida left the palace after her resignation, she saw Concubine Li's carriage returning to the palace.

Nangong Miao exclaimed: "Is this still a human?"

Mrs. Jin also kept chanting "Amitabha".

Shu Yao looked at Liu's mother in surprise, so fast? Didn't Liu's mother just send out the signal and let people spread "good news"? She thought that at the earliest, it would take around noon tomorrow to make some movement.

Mother Liu shook her head gently, she was sure. This was not what hers did. It was obvious that there were still people staring at Murong Mansion.

At this time, in the imperial study room of the palace, the emperor looked at Concubine Li kneeling on the ground and cried, with an irrational "deep meaning" on her face.

When Concubine Li was almost unable to bear it, the emperor sighed: "Since you are back early, just get sick. Don't step out of Jujiu Palace again in the future."

Concubine Li's whimper suddenly stopped, and she opened her mouth. Seeing the emperor's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, she obviously had disgusted eyes and closed again. Thinking of the emperor's "inexplicable" question before leaving the palace today, her heart became more and more weak, but her head became clear.

After thinking everything through, Concubine Li was very glad that the emperor had just forbidden her. She believed that if it weren't for her children, the emperor would have probably let her stay in the cold palace.

Sure enough, the emperor said coldly: "For the sake of Liu Yatou and Xiao Jiu, it is better to stay in Jujiu Palace and recite more scriptures, at least you can feel at ease. From now on, you can see them once every 15th of a month, and you should recite scriptures and reflect at other times." After that, he threw a piece of paper over and said, "Go back and copy it yourself." He really didn't want to see this woman again for a moment.

Li Fei picked it up and saw it, and it was a statement that she had broken off relations with Murong Ziye.

...

When Concubine Li was sent back to Jujiu Palace, the emperor sighed and closed his eyes. In the end, he would decide the ending of this drama. The emperor admired himself very much and had the patience to play with these people until the end.

The emperor raised a sneer on his lips. Why did the Secretary Murong plan for his whole life? A fight between the king and the ministers. Perhaps the Secretary Murong should thank him, the monarch, for punishing his unfilial and unrighteous children for him.

Since the last time that King Ning (the eldest prince) brought the ninth prince to ask Shujie for a "magic medicine" from the emperor, "Eye Ming" has set his sights on the Murong Mansion. Murong Ziye was busy making various preparations all day long, but he didn't know that there were eyes staring behind him.

When the emperor saw the report from Youming and knew that King Ning had brought "Go Huan" to Murong Ziye, he sneered repeatedly. This was his son, his minister, for the sake of his interests, he ignored the moral principles and left behind his loyalty and filial piety.

The emperor said at that time: "For his ambition, if he has the chance, he will probably be very happy to use 'living' on me, right?"

The only "listener" Da Fuzi was so scared that he knelt down quickly: "The emperor is blessed by gods..."

In the past few months, the emperor has been watching the "big show" coldly, waiting to see how Murong's mansion sings the ending. Therefore, when Concubine Li got the palace card from the queen, her eyes were red and swollen, and she appeared in front of him with infinite sadness to say goodbye, it did not arouse his pity at all.

At that time, he just asked quietly: "Are you going now? Will it be a little late?"

How could Concubine Li think of the "deep meaning" in the emperor's words? She could only answer in a daze: "After all, I am a concubine in the harem. The doctor confirmed that my father could not be saved, so she notified me, hoping that I could leave the palace to see my father again."

...

Early the next morning, people gathered around the gate of Shangshu Murong's mansion to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves to welcome the eunuchs who were sent to the palace.

The eunuch who sent the order first read a loud statement written by Concubine Li's personal handwriting, and clarified the relationship between Concubine Li and the "Living" incident: Concubine Li was surprised to hear the truth about her father's death, and could not tolerate her brother Murong Ziye's evil deeds, and declared in public that she had severed relations with the Murong Mansion.

Then came the emperor's imperial edict, which ordered the Murong Mansion to quickly bury the Secretary of Murong. Murong Ziye was unfilial and unrighteous, had a corrupt character, and was deprived of his official position and would never be appointed. The Murong Mansion's branch was forbidden to be an official within three generations and could not take the imperial examination.

Because Murong Ziye poisoned Murong Shangshu after his death, and it was not considered a murder. There was no charge to be applied, and it could only be a moral punishment.

Mrs. Murong screamed, her eyes rolled back and fainted.

Murong Ziye knelt quietly, without expression, and no one could tell what he was thinking? Last night, he had already thought of such an ending, what else could he be surprised?

Murong Ziye's younger brother and two gangsters were dissatisfied and shouted that they did not know about "living". The people from the palace sneered contemptuously: "The Murong Mansion has not split up. As sons, for several months, you don't even know whether your father has died or not? Are you still worthy of being an official? Are you worthy of being an official?"

The eunuchs and his party ordered to take off the sign of the "Shangshu Mansion" and stepped a few steps before leaving.

The onlookers shouted that the emperor was wise and wise. How could such unfilial and unrighteous people be superior to officials? A bastard like Murong Ziye, who is inferior to livestock, should be punished and confessed to his father's spirit of heaven.

People who were full of righteous indignation and those who were once "bullied" by the Murong Mansion rushed up and trampled on the door sign of the "Shangshu Mansion". The Murong Mansion is now a commoner in the market just like them. No, as long as their children work hard, they still have the opportunity to be admitted to the imperial examination, the Murong Mansion is inferior to them.

Outside the crowd, a simple carriage was quietly parked in the corner. Jia Qiaoniang, who had just rushed back from the village to attend the funeral in the morning, looked shocked and surprised. How could this happen? Apart from Lifei and Murong Ziye, the only thing she knew about "living" was that she knew how it was leaked?

Jia Qiaoniang just learned last night that she had avenged some revenge and was so happy that she didn't sleep all night. She was just sorry that she did not bring the restaurant in Zhen's house as she wished. In addition, the evil in Zhu's belly escaped.

Jia Qiaoniang secretly scolded Qiuju (Murong Zhi's personal maid) for being too fast, destroying her original plan. Now Murong Zhi's chess piece is abandoned, and the relationship between Murong Mansion and Zhen Mansion has also been cut off. She has to find another way to bury poison stakes in Zhen Mansion.

In any case, she must let the Zhen family be doomed. Only in this way can the hatred in her heart be calmed.

She was excitedly planning how to continue last night, but she didn't expect that while she was excited, such a big thing happened in Murong's mansion.

"Small people in the city"? The words in the crowd came from outside the carriage, and Jia Qiaoniang murmured, "Are she going to return to a life without power? How can she take revenge? How can her two sons become superior in the future?

Jia Qiaoniang was still stunned, and a noisy voice came from outside the carriage again: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Murong Ziye, you are a bastard who is inferior to a beast. We will marry your sister to you because our Yu family is blind. We quickly signed this book with the Book of Li. From now on, our Yu family has no relationship with you anymore." (To be continued.
