The Golden Age Chapter 483: That tragedy

Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Taking poison to kill himself? Han Zhou and the three are dead?"

"If they don't die, how can this case be ended so easily?" Gu Baiyi said indifferently: "Han Zhou is the principal culprit in the Ordnance Case, and he and the other two principals committed suicide in fear of crime, but it makes sense."

Qin Xiao sneered, took out the confession written by Xia Houjie from his arms and handed it to Gu Baiyi.

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "I don't have to look at it. For the court, this plea is useless. For you, it can be regarded as a handle in your hand. Now that Dali Temple has this case. The conclusion is that it has naturally been approved by Zhongshu. If there is no sage nodded, Zhongshu would not dare to let Dali Temple settle the case easily. Now that the sage's permission has been obtained, the case will end here." Looking at Qin Xiao, earnestly Said: "This case was handed over to the Dali Temple from the very beginning, but it was not handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which proves that the saint did not intend to throw the real murderer out of the scenes. Now there is this result, whether it is Zhongshu or Dali Temple. Even on the Criminal Ministry, there will be no more storms."

"So those three have become dead ghosts?" Qin Xiao sighed.

"There are more than three people who can help dead ghosts." Gu Baiyi smiled lightly and said: "The three officials involved in the case committed suicide by poisoning themselves at Dali Temple. The officials of Dali Temple are naturally duty-bound. According to the Chinese book, Dali Temple Shaoqing Secretary Nongfeng was guilty of oversight of the deaths of the three people, so he dismissed the post of Shaoqing of Sinongfeng Dali Temple and sent him to Jingzhou to commit crimes. He heard that Sinongfeng’s official seal had been collected, and he had to take his family away in the past two days. Jing, went to Jingzhou to take up his post."

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, thinking that Dali Temple quickly finalized the case, naturally to avoid long nights and dreams.

"Since the case has been finalized by the court, Brother Qin, please don't mention it outside for the time being." Gu Baiyi pondered slightly before saying: "The Criminal Ministry wants to investigate Jiang Qianxing's death, they What is the attitude?"

"The people from Qingyitang filed a lawsuit with the Criminal Department, claiming that I killed Jiang Qianxing." Qin Xiao said with a light smile: "So they had to investigate and convict me of murder. However, they did not have any conclusive evidence to prove it was true. I personally killed Jiang Qianxing. The Ministry of Criminal Justice wanted to clarify the truth at the time and I needed Huaiyang Hou Xiahou’s outstanding face to testify. Tsing Yi Tang should be trying to fight for Xiahou’s outstanding face. If I don’t have Xiahoujie’s confession. Xia Houjie will definitely kill me with Tsing Yi Tang, but Xia Houjie now has scruples and should not dare to come forward to testify." Putting away the confession, he sneered: "If he really wants to come forward, it will be nothing more than that. If the fish die and the net is broken, I will also make this confession public."

Gu Baiyi shook his head and smiled: "I don't think Tsing Yi Tang will really pursue this matter in the future."

"Oh?" Qin Xiao wondered: "Why is Brother Gu so sure?"

"Are you still not sure who the real backer behind Tsing Yi Tang is?" Gu Baiyi smiled and said, "In fact, in the market, although we all know that there must be noble people behind Tsing Yi Tang, who is it? People are really rare, even if a few people know about it, they don’t dare to spread it."

Qin Xiao whispered: "This time Xiahoujie hated me because of the ordnance case and used Tsing Yi Tang to kill me. Is it Xia Hou's home behind Tsing Yi Tang?

"

"On the contrary, the nobleman behind Tsing Yi Tang is not only from Xiahou's family, but also Princess Musk Moon tit-for-tat to Xiahou's family." Gu Baiyi smiled lightly: "Jiang Qianxing is a running dog under Princess Musk Moon. "

"Princess Musk Moon?" Qin Xiaowei was taken aback.

"Princess Musk Moon married Zhao Tai, the son of Cheng Guo Gong at the age of seventeen. This Cheng Guo Gong is a descendant of the Zhao family, the sixteen **** general of the Lingxiao Pavilion." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "The Zhao family is good at managing wealth. , The Emperor Taizu founded the country, and the logistical and food supplies were all taken care of by the Zhao family. Therefore, the Zhao family has always been in charge of the wealth of the empire. Although there have been ups and downs, the children of the Zhao family have almost always been in the household during the dynasties. That mountain top was mixed. When the first emperor Dezong, Dezong reused Chengguo, and the household department became the backyard of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was also called the God of Wealth by officials inside and outside Kyoto. After the saint took the throne, he cleaned up Li's clan and many officials who opposed the Xiahou family only looked at the Zhao family in a different light."

"The Zhao family participates in supporting the saint?"

"No." Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "The Zhao family was silent at the time. They neither supported nor opposed it. It was just that the wealth of the empire was in the hands of the Zhao family. Everyone felt that the saint could not allow the surname Zhao to always hold the wealth of the empire, and must clean up the Zhao family. However, after the saint ascended the throne, instead of moving the Zhao family, he gave the Princess Musk Moon to the son of Chengguo, Zhao. Tai, Princess Musk Moon was only eleven years old at the time. Although she was not yet at the age of marriage, she knew everything about her relationship."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said: "The saint has just ascended the throne, the local rebellion, and even foreign barbarians take advantage of the disturbance, deploy troops and generals, whether it is to quell the rebellion or defend the enemy, they need money, food and wealth to support, and the Zhao family does not move. , The Ministry of Household will be able to stabilize, even if the saint is really dissatisfied with the Zhao family, he will never start with the Zhao family at that time."

"Hit the nail on the head." Gu Baiyi smiled faintly, and said slowly: "If you want the Zhao family to be faithful to handle the errands, naturally you should let the Zhao family have no worries. Give Princess Musk Moon to Zhao Tai, and the Zhao family will become the Xiahou family. In-laws, telling the world about marriages, the Zhao family will naturally not worry that the saint will take his life back."

Qin Xiao knew from Han Yunong before that Princess Mok Yue had married the Zhao family, but it was not clear that there was such a connection between them. Now it seems that Mok Yue married the Zhao family as the country’s father, but she is a saint. The method used to win over the Zhao family, the princess of the Great Tang, who was all over the country, was just a tool in the hands of the saint at that time.

"With this marriage, the Zhao family naturally went all out. Under the situation of internal and external troubles at the time, the Zhao family firmly loyal to the saint and tried their best to raise money and food." Gu Baiyi sighed, "Zhao The family came from the south of the Yangtze River. The two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou were rich in the world. When the Zhao family was in charge of imperial taxation, they had always taken care of the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Supporting the Zhao family, it now appears that if it were not for the Zhao family to maintain the imperial treasury at the time, no one in the Manchu civil war could hold the situation."

Qin Xiao sighed: "At the time of crisis, the Zhao family responded in the empire’s richest and most prosperous area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although it solved the empire’s urgent needs, it also planted great disasters. The Zhao family was able to have this in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Prestige, how can you keep the saints from being jealous."

A smile appeared between Gu Baiyi's eyebrows and said: "Brother Qin though

Although he is not very young, he saw the problem hit the nail on the head. What you said was really good. At that time, the Zhao Jiadang really grabbed the empire's money bag. The two prefectures of Suzhou and Hangzhou are strong in merchants and gentry. The sages enthroned and demanded money and grain to rebel against the enemy, but the treasury was empty. To maintain the military expenditures of the frontline officers, they could only turn their attention to the south of the Yangtze River. If anyone in the dynasty went to the court, the gentry of Suzhou and Hangzhou would not take care of it. Only the Zhao family in the south of the Yangtze River had the strength to raise a large amount of money from the south of the Yangtze River. "

At this time, the rooster Sichen's voice has been heard from the alley, and the window is also bright.

However, the two talked about Xing Zhengnong and didn't care that it was early morning.

"After the war is over, on the merits and rewards, Cheng Guo Gong Zhao family is naturally outstanding." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "After a few years, the Zhao family still controls the household, and the saint will often reward. Everyone thinks that even if the Zhao family did not support the saint at first, they helped the saint to solve problems during the internal and external troubles, and the saint also gave Princess Musk Moon to Zhao Tai, and the Zhao clan was one of the sixteen gods in the Lingxiao Pavilion. Therefore, the position of the Zhao family must be as stable as Mount Tai. When Princess Musk Moon was seventeen years old, she married to the Zhao family. As far as I know, Zhao Tai has both civil and military skills and outstanding appearance. He is a well-known genius in Kyoto. Musk Moon is a few years younger than Zhao Tai. After passing the door, the two have a very good relationship and respect each other as guests. This husband and wife is extremely fond of Princess Musk Moon, and no one would have thought that a catastrophe would follow."

Qin Xiao knew that the Zhao family of Cheng Guogong was later destroyed on charges of treason, but the specific circumstances are not clear.

"Princess Musk Moon became the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Of course, it is impossible for the Zhao family to think that the saint would attack them." Gu Baiyi sighed: "So Cheng Guogong was suddenly imprisoned by the Criminal Ministry. The arrest shocked the world. It took less than half a month for the Criminal Ministry to convict Cheng Guogong of conspiracy. The Zhao clan was destroyed, Cheng Guogong was beheaded, and Zhao Tai was desperately protected by Princess Musk. No one dared to move, but Zhao Tai saw an extinction in his sight, and finally committed suicide. Princess Musk Moon was also taken back to the palace by the saint. After that, the saint gave Jinchengfang to Princess Musk Moon, which is also regarded as making up for Musk Moon. The pain of the princess’s widowed husband."

Qin Xiao's face turned gloomy.

The Zhao family was eventually killed. Perhaps it was already doomed when the saint enthroned. Since then, when the empire is in a critical situation, it will show amazing influence in Jiangnan, and it will not end well.

Princess Musk Moon married the Zhao family. Of course, it was a tool used by the saint to confuse the Zhao family. Because of this marriage, the Zhao family would never have thought that the saint would have a heart to destroy them, and finally caught off guard. Prepared, was swept away by the saint.

Musk Yue certainly didn't know that she would eventually become an important tool for the Zhao family to destroy the door.

Her marriage is a conspiracy, but it is gratifying that the princess and Zhao Tai can fall in love with each other, and this is the greatest misfortune. Seeing that she gets along day and night after her loving husband and wife are killed in Manmen Caught before his eyes, Qin Xiao could feel the heart-piercing pain in Princess Sheyue's heart at that time.

A marriage that is destined to end in tragedy, but Musk is betting her true feelings in it. The more sincere and deeper the feelings she puts in, the more harm she will eventually suffer.
