www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
On December 13, Lu Wenzhao was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to interrogate him.
On December 15, Jin Yiwei discovered a secret cabinet in Lu Wenzhuo's study, and found letters between Lu Wenzhuo and the Crown Prince of Yan.
When these letters were presented to the emperor, he became furious.
Back then, King Yan forced the palace to rebel, and the emperor almost lost his kingdom. King Yan and Prince Yongding fled, and their whereabouts are unknown. They have not been captured to this day. In addition to this, the emperor thought that he had wiped out all the remaining members of King Yan. Unexpectedly, there was still a fish caught in the trap, and he was still his chief minister. Even to this day, Lu Wenzhao is still with the crown prince of Yan. There is collusion.
The emperor could not imagine that if Lu Wenzuo had not been caught this time, whether he and Prince Yan would try to force him into the palace again in the future.
The emperor felt a chill in his heart.
The emperor couldn't help but think about his third prince. Was Han Lingfu just being used by Lu Wenzhao? Or did he also have the same idea as King Yan and want to usurp his father's throne?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became. He ordered Lu Huaining to hand over all the evidence to the Third Division and tasked them with completing the case before the New Year.
A major case involving such a wide range of matters was only given half a month to finalize. It was really a bit rushed, but the Third Division also saw the emperor's attitude from this. No matter what he thought in his heart, as long as It could be to speed up the trial of the case.
The Jinyi Guards led the order and went to the Lu Mansion again, and took all the members of the Lu Mansion who were originally imprisoned in the mansion into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
This is serious!
All the noble officials in the royal capital who were watching this matter were frightened. Starting from Chen Yuanzhou, none of the officials involved in the incident had any family members involved. It was just that the house was under control and strictly prohibited from entering and exiting. Only Lu Wenzhuo...
Jinyiwei is very tight-lipped, and no one knows the reasons why.
But they all speculated whether the sudden imprisonment of the third prince Han Lingfu was related to the Lu Wenzhuo case...
Could it be that the two of them colluded with each other?
What happened to the case of the remnants of the previous dynasty since Chen Yuanzhou... Everyone in the royal capital remained silent for fear of being accidentally implicated. It was obvious that the Chinese New Year was about to come, but the atmosphere in the entire royal capital was unprecedented. The deserted.
Although the noble officials kept silent, the gossip among the people was still spreading wildly. It spread throughout the capital as quickly as if it had grown wings. Within a few days, even Bai Mu, who was sent to Zhuangzi, Xiaodu found out from Bihen's mouth.
Bi Hen said worriedly: "Girl, will your Highness be okay?"
The third prince's palace was sealed off. No matter how you think about it, it makes people think that this matter is definitely not trivial. Although Bai Muxiao kept asking Han Lingfu to give her a wife-releasing letter, in Bihen's heart, her girl was just out of anger.
Bai Muxiao bit her lower lip, her pretty face turning pale slightly. Even though she had planned to leave him, she never thought of cursing him into depression or adding insult to injury. After all, he was the person she loved. If he was down and out, she would not be honored by it.
What should I do?
Bai Muxiao's first reaction was to go to Han Lingfu, but then he thought that now that he had a new love, did he still need to give him advice?
She smiled mockingly...
Bai Muxiao sat there in silence for a long time, a long time... When Bihen almost gave up hope, he saw Bai Muxiao finally stood up, frowned slightly, and said firmly: "I I have to go back to the royal capital!"
She had to see him after all to feel at ease! No matter what his attitude is, she only needs to have a clear conscience!
Back to the capital! Bihen and Biluo looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Naturally, the girl returned to the capital to meet His Highness the Third Prince. Great, the girl finally figured it out!
Bi Hen said hurriedly: "Girl, I'll go pack my things while I'm here."
Bihen and Biluo hurriedly packed up the two bags, and the master and servant left the house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of the courtyard, he saw a fat and white nanny wearing a green persimmon-cut silk trousers blocking the outside of the courtyard with several maids and wives.
"Bai Concubine," the mama blessed her gently. Before Bai Muxiao could say no, she stood up on her own. Her eyes fell on the bundles in Bihen and Biluo's hands, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. , "In this cold weather, Concubine Bai should stay in the room, lest she catch a cold, and the princess will blame the slaves for not serving Concubine Bai well!"
Her tone was respectful, but her words were not respectful at all, but even commanding.
Bai Muxiao frowned. Before she could speak, Bi Luo said rudely: "Aunt Huang, what do you mean? Is it possible that our concubine wants to go out for a walk in the yard and wants you, Aunt Huang? Do you agree?"
This Aunt Huang dared to treat Bai Muxiao with such an attitude and tone, naturally not only because of adding insult to injury, but also because of the backer behind her - the third prince's concubine Cui Yanyan.
On that day, after Han Lingfu announced that he would send Bai Muxiao to Zhuangzi, Cui Yanyan was "virtuous" and specially sent this Aunt Huang to "serve" Bai Muxiao, and also said that she must take good care of Concubine Bai. You must be honest, don’t be a little negligent...
Having received Cui Yanyan’s instructions, Nanny Huang is naturally confident.
Every morning when the rooster crows for the first time, Aunt Huang comes to greet Bai Muxiao and waits for her to get up. The three meals a day are either simple meals or leftovers, and Aunt Huang also "diligently" serves Bai Muxiao. They had to force her to eat the food; they even took advantage of the lack of manpower in the village to make Bihen Biluo responsible for the cleaning of Bai Muchiao's house - Bihen Biluo was Bai Muchiao's first-class maid. , there is no reason to be a rough messenger, but Aunt Huang plausibly said that because there was a shortage of manpower in Zhuangzi, she even prepared the dishes for Concubine Bai herself...
Bai Muxiao has seen many of these tricks for a long time, but she sneered in her heart that the third prince and concubine only played these tricks!
And this Aunt Huang’s arrogance is getting more and more arrogant day by day.
She glanced at Bi Luo with disdain and didn't bother to talk to Bi Luo. She said to Bai Muxiao with a smile on her face, "Concubine Bai, you'd better not make it difficult for me to wait!"
She signaled with a gesture, and those big-bodied and round-waisted ladies gathered around and said in a rough voice: "I have rough hands. If my hands are careless, please forgive me Concubine Bai!"
Bai Muxiao only has three masters and servants here, but the entire Zhuangzi belongs to Cui Yanyan.
Bai Muxiao smiled coldly: "What you said is true, I won't make things difficult for you." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house. Bihen and Biluo had no choice but to follow.
Nanny Huang from behind deliberately raised her voice and told the slaves: "You have to keep an eye on this place for me. If a fly escapes, you are the only one to ask questions!"
How could a mere white concubine, with no power and no support from her mother-in-law, find the palm of the third prince's concubine?
Nanny Huang sneered. She was about to go back to her room to have a good rest when she saw a little maid running over panting, shouting: "No, it's not good! Nanny Huang, no..."
Nanny Huang glared at her angrily and scolded: "What's all the fuss about?!"
The little maid shrank and muttered from behind Fu: "Aunt Huang, Jin...Jin Yiwei is here!"
What? ! Nanny Huang's eyes widened, and before she had time to react, she saw seven or eight Jinyi guards breaking into the courtyard and rushing over.
Nanny Huang secretly swallowed her saliva, and shouted in a strong and polite tone: "You guys, why did you break into the backyard without permission? This is the Zhuangzi of the Third Prince's Mansion!" As she spoke, she puffed out her chest.
The leading Jin Yiwei said expressionlessly: "The one I'm looking for is Zhuangzi from the Third Prince's Mansion! ...Where is Concubine Bai?" As he spoke, he clasped his fists in the sky and said, "I follow the emperor's order to take Bai Concubine. The concubine will take her back to the Third Prince’s Mansion."
How does this work? ! Nanny Huang thought intuitively, the third prince's concubine had finally hoped that Concubine Bai would be driven to Zhuangzi, how could she be allowed to return home so easily!
Nanny Huang stood there blankly, and the Jin Yiwei was impatient. Who dared to stop them from doing their work?
"The Jin Yiwei is doing something, but you slave still won't get out of the way!" The Jin Yiwei kicked Nanny Huang in the heart, knocking her to the ground and screaming.
The Jinyi guards swarmed into the yard without even looking at Nanny Huang. Just as they were about to search, they saw Bai Muxiao walking out of the house.
The leading Jin Yiwei sneered: "Concubine Bai, I came here on the emperor's order, please don't make it difficult for me!"
Bai Muxiao looked at him without fear, Jin Yiwei was just the emperor's lackey. But this time, they actually helped him out by mistake.
Bai Muxiao continued to walk forward and said calmly: "I won't make it difficult for you, sir. I will just go with you." Bi Luo and Bi Hen naturally followed behind her. Both maids were very pretty. Their faces turned pale. At this time, they didn't know whether returning to the Third Prince's Mansion was a good thing or a bad thing.
The Jinyi guards were a little surprised, but it would be better if the concubine made less noise, which would save them the trouble of knocking her out.
Jin Yiwei finished her errand and left without stopping, leaving Nanny Huang looking at their backs in a daze, thinking with fear: Is this considered a failure on her part? The third prince's concubine shouldn't be angry at herself for this, right? ...probably not?
While Nanny Huang was uneasy, Bai Muxiao, who was in a green carriage at the moment, was actually not much better.
Looking at the good side of today's events, she successfully used this opportunity to return to the Third Prince's Mansion; but looking at the bad side, it shows that the emperor must be serious!
This time, can Han Ling Eneng pass this level smoothly?
Bai Muxiao's heart was heavy... The carriage was quiet, and Bi Luo and Bi Hen did not dare to disturb Bai Muxiao. The whole carriage returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.
Bai Muxiao got off the carriage at the second gate and saw Xiao Lizi waiting there.
Before he could speak, Bai Muxiao said: "Take me to see His Highness."
"Concubine Bai, please come here." Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be nice if Concubine Bai no longer quarreled with His Highness. His Highness would always feel better with Concubine Bai by his side.
Xiao Lizi respectfully led Bai Muxiao to the third prince's study.
The door to the study room was closed tightly. Xiao Lizi said that the third prince had not come out for several days and no one was allowed in.
Bai Muxiao walked away and opened the door, only to see a mess in the study room, while Han Lingfu sat blankly behind the desk, seemingly not paying attention to her at all.
Bai Muxiao walked into the study, the door was closed tightly again, and there was no movement again...
On December 21, Lu Wenzhuo confessed and admitted that he had colluded with King Yan in order to force the palace. He also said that the third prince Han Lingfu had inadvertently obtained information about him, so he had no choice but to cooperate with him. The case of remnants of the previous dynasty disrupted the situation of the dynasty and formed cliques for personal gain.
There are actually many unknowns in Lu Wenzhao's confession, such as why he wanted to frame the Minister of War, An Yihou and others.
But the emperor no longer wants to investigate anymore. If the investigation continues, if it is found that his son has united with Baiyue and collaborated with the enemy and treason, he may not even be able to protect him.
Although the emperor is an emperor, he is also a father. No matter how angry he is with Han Lingfu, he does not want his son to end well.
Now that Lu Wenzhao had confessed, the emperor unceremoniously pinned all the charges on him. With a wave of his imperial pen, it was decided that Lu Wenzhao would be executed, the entire Lu family would be executed, and he would be executed later in the year.
On December 23, the Minister of War and others were acquitted by imperial decree.
The final conclusion is that even though many people still have many questions in their minds, no one raises them without opening their eyes. It would be nice to be able to escape this storm safely.
The dark clouds hanging over the royal capital finally gradually dissipated.
On December 25th, the sky was overcast.
In the Western Hills, a few miles away from the royal capital, there are sparsely populated areas and cemeteries everywhere. At a glance, the shadowy stone tablets and cypress trees all over the mountain make people shudder.
A young man in white, wearing a thick fox fur cloak, was walking in the mountains. Next to him followed a young man who was also dressed in white. However, the young man only wore a thin autumn coat, but he moved freely and his face was rosy, as if it was not a cold twelfth month at this moment.
The two of them walked forward slowly and slowly, both with expressionless faces. Finally, they climbed to the top of the hill and stopped in front of a stone tablet without any inscription. No, it should be said that all the stone tablets in this row were empty. Yes, not a word.
Three years ago, when he buried his father, uncle and Deputy Liu here, he did not engrave the tombstones because the great revenge was not avenged, so why leave a name!
Very few people know that this is the tomb of the famous General Guan Ruyan.
In all these years, Guan Yubai has never been here. The enemy is still at large, and he really has no face to face his relatives underground.
Until today...
Six years!
It has been six years since the official family died unjustly!
Today he can finally stand here upright.
Guan Yubai stared unblinkingly at the square tombstone in front of him. The surroundings were desolate and gloomy, overgrown with weeds. Even the tombstone was almost submerged by the wildly growing weeds. Who knew that such a simple tomb could be so beautiful? It is the tomb of the general Guan Da...
After death, people will turn into bones. It doesn’t matter where they are buried!
This was the emotion that his father often expressed to Guan Yubai when he was alive. He only asked Guan Yubai to bury his body together with Guan Yubai's mother after his death. My father only had this request.
There was a bitterness in Guan Yubai's eyes, but there were no tears at all. The tears had been shed a few years ago!
Xiaosi did not dare to disturb Guan Yubai, but silently took out a dagger and neatly cleared away the weeds around the cemetery, so that the bare stone tablets could reappear in the world.
Guan Yubai took a deep breath, took out a handkerchief, carefully and carefully wiped the tombstones clean, then took two steps back and knelt heavily in front of his parents' graves. Xiao Si also knelt down behind him, with a solemn expression.
"Father, mother, uncle...I finally avenge you!"
Guan Yubai bowed respectfully three times, sprinkled a glass of sake on the grave soil, and then remained motionless.
At that time, he only knew that besides King Yan, there were others who framed the official army. Because King Yan alone could not shake the emperor's suspicion of the officials and soldiers guarding the border, and even ordered everyone to be executed. Especially in the past few years, Guan Yubai has stayed in the royal capital for a long time, and he knows that the emperor is not a ruthless king. Back then, the emperor ordered people to take the father and son back to the royal capital for interrogation by the three divisions, but his father died on the road. When their father died, Guan Yubai guessed that it was not an accident, but that someone did not want them to return to the royal capital.
In addition, he himself was poisoned, and his life and death were unpredictable. But he got through it, struggling through **** for a blood feud.
That year, when the envoy of Xirong returned with his princess, he ordered an ambush and secretly captured Chamuhan, but Chamuhan strongly testified that it was Chen Yuanzhou... Guan Yubai was not sure at the time that Chamuhan was What Muhan said was true or false, so he used the Qibi Samana who deliberately let go to test the situation in the morning court, and finally found the real culprit.
Lu Wenzhuo, the first assistant of the dynasty.
He clearly knew who his enemy was, but he kept enduring, suppressing, and waiting...
After lying dormant for many years, he finally saw his deeply hated enemy Lu Wenzuo being brought to justice. Guan Yubai did not feel the pleasure of revenge, and he only felt lonely and desolate in his heart.
It doesn’t matter if a great revenge is avenged, it doesn’t matter if the grievances are cleared, it doesn’t matter if you are ranked in the famous ministers’ cabinet...
His official family is full of heroes and tens of thousands of official soldiers will never come back!
The world is so vast, but Guan Yubai feels as if he is the only one left in this world. His body is still alive, but he seems to have no goal of continuing to survive.
Guan Yu knelt there blankly.
"...Your life in this royal capital is like being in jail. Why don't you come with me to the southern border, where you have your own battlefield to gallop on. ...The sea and sky are vast, and we can do whatever we want..."
Guan Yubai's dull eyes gradually became focused, and he didn't know how long it took. Xiaosi couldn't help but persuade: "Master, you are not in good health, and the ground is cold..."
Guan Yubai lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: "There are still business matters."
Xiao Si immediately took out everything from the bag and spread a thick wolf fur blanket on the ground.
Guan Yubai knelt down on the blanket, gently touched the stone tablet, and said silently to his relatives underground: "Father, uncle, Vice General Liu, Colonel Yang... I'm here to inscribe your names!"
"Boom!"
Guan Yubai held the chisel in one hand and the hammer in the other, and he chiseled the tombstone for the first time, one after another, each one seemed to hit his heart, making him feel pain.
Xiaosi could only watch from the sidelines, but did not dare to step forward to help.
"Boom! Boom!..."
One after another, the first is the word "Xian", the second is the word "father", and the third is the word "官"...
Unconsciously, Xiaosi's eyes were filled with tears, and they couldn't help but slowly overflow. Xiaosi didn't dare to let Guan Yubai see it, so she secretly wiped away her tears with her sleeves, and said to herself: Finally, the great revenge was avenged, so I should laugh! There is nothing to cry about! That's what girls do...
Thinking about it, Xiaosi's eyes were already red again.
Guan Yubai is still carving words slowly. Although his body has improved a lot over the years, it is still far from ordinary people, and the strength of his wrists is even more incomparable than before.
When he was young, although he could not be said to be unparalleled in power, he could still draw a three-stone bow and shoot three arrows in a row. But now that he had just chiseled out these three words, he already felt his arms were sore and swollen... He was now nothing more than a powerless scholar.
Guan Yubai waved his hand and continued to carve slowly, chiseling, hammering, stroke by stroke... watching the lines of words taking shape under his hands, engraved in his heart forever...
The tinkling sound was drowned in the mountain wind, and no one else knew...
Early the next morning, a scream sounded like a ghost, and soon a young man in a blue robe fled. Within half an hour, he brought back a group of young people. The young master.
As he walked away, he emphasized: "I really saw it right, that must be the tomb of General Guan Ruyan!"
"How could the tomb of a high-ranking general be in a place like this in this barren mountain?!" Another young man in brown clothes looked around and didn't believe it at all.
Speaking of the officers and generals, the young masters felt a little emotional.
A generation of famous generals did not die on the battlefield, but died in humiliation because they were framed by traitors and accused of treason. Even after six years, it is still embarrassing to think about it now.
"I still remember that when An Yihou Fuling returned to the capital three years ago, I went to the city gate to greet him," the young master in a white robe said nostalgically, "At that time, thousands of people greeted him at the city gate. The scene is so spectacular, I heard that the owner of a small wine shop took out dozens of jars of twenty-year-old wine and smashed it to pieces, just for the heroic soul of the general... It was really full of wine!" This young man is obviously a good drinker, and he has a greedy look on his face when he talks about it.
In fact, several young masters present went to the city gate to greet Fuling, the Marquis of An Yi. Therefore, when the young master in brown came to talk, everyone sighed.
"So," the fat young man took the opportunity to interject, "if the tomb of General Guan Da is here, how come no one knows about it?!" There are many passionate people in this country who respect General Guan Da. I am afraid that people came to the tomb in droves, and even the weeds in front of the tomb were trampled.
"That's right!" The young man in brown clothes echoed repeatedly, casually stopping a farmer who was coming down from the mountain and passing by with a **** and asked, "Brother, do you know if there is the tomb of General Guan Ruyan nearby? ?"
Although the farmer was illiterate, he still knew about the general. He sneered: "Here, the tomb of the general without an official is just a pile of graves of lonely ghosts!" He pointed to the west hill. , "There is a row of unmarked tombstones there. After the tombs were made, no one came to pay homage. It must be that they did too many bad things during their lifetimes and were too embarrassed to leave their names!"
The blue-robed young man seemed to have thought of something, and asked hurriedly as if struck by lightning: "Brother, the wordless tombstone you are talking about is the top row of graves on the west hill?"
The farmer was stunned, nodded and said: "That's right! Have you seen this young master before?"
Unexpectedly, the blue-robed young master shook his head and said excitedly: "The tomb of the general I mentioned is in the top row on the west hill." As he said that, he couldn't wait to head towards the west hill. Run. Just now, everyone's repeated denials almost made him doubt himself. Until now, he was finally convinced!
That is the tomb of General Guan Da!
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly chased after them. Even the farmer hesitated and followed to watch the fun, and kept chattering: "I tell you, there is a row of wordless tombstones..."
A group of people swarmed up the mountain. By the time they climbed to the top of the west hill, these young men who rarely climbed mountains were already out of breath.
The young man in blue robe who was running at the front ran to one of the stone tablets with familiarity. The others hurriedly gathered around. Their eyes widened when they saw this. This is really...
The farmer said strangely from behind: "Huh? When did the tombstones here have inscriptions on them?"
Before he finished speaking, those young men had become shorter one by one, and they all knelt down. The fat young man murmured: "Is this really the tomb of a high-ranking general?!"
On this day, a piece of news spread by word of mouth among the literati. Within half a day, many literati in the royal capital knew that the tomb of General Guan Da was on the west hill.
Those enthusiastic literati all rushed to Xishan Mountain to worship. For a time, the formerly cold Xishan Mountain was flooded with people, cigarette smoke curled up on the hill, and the white paper money filled the sky. The entire hill was dyed the same color as snow...
The heroic spirit is immortal!
The famous generals who used their lives and blood to defend their homeland will never be forgotten by the passage of time!
