Chapter 161 I came here just to tell you that I am going to die!
The capital city is still as bustling as ever.
Although Tongzhi County was not far away, the flood did not affect it, and the soldiers at the city gates were guarding them strictly and did not allow any refugees to enter.
Some wealthy businessmen and officials sent people to distribute porridge at the city gates to provide relief, and refugees could choose to live outside the city. As long as you don't cause any trouble, it's no problem to eat half full every day.
A fast horse galloped across the road.
The people gave way.
"That's General Jin!"
Everyone showed admiration.
"General Jin is young and promising, and he is truly a rare talent."
"It would be great if I could find a husband like General Jin in the future."
"You're dreaming. Our Darong country only has such a General Jin."
…
Jin Zhi turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him.
He rode at full speed all the way and arrived at a mansion on Daxing Street.
This is one of the properties of his Jin family, and he is the only one who would come here occasionally on weekdays.
Jin Zhi entered the gate and saw only an old servant of the Jin family.
Seeing the young master, he smiled and said, "Young master, why did you come here suddenly?"
"I'll come and see that person."
The old servant followed him closely, "That old woman is quite obedient. She eats and drinks as she should, and doesn't treat herself badly. Young Master, who is this person..."
Jin Zhi didn't say anything, but came to the door of a room.
When I opened the door, I saw the nanny sitting on the couch, looking bored.
Seeing someone coming, and it was the famous general Jin Zhi, her face suddenly changed, and she immediately knelt on the ground, "Your servant greets General Jin."
She never knew who was holding her captive, but she never expected it to be the Jin family.
Could it be that Jin Weige did it?
While she was thinking, Jin Zhi took out a somewhat worn rattle from his sleeve and threw it on the table. One of them was damaged, so it was sewn up with a piece of cloth of similar color and the word "Jun" was embroidered on it.
Mammy's pupils constricted. This... this was her grandson's thing!
"Master Jin, where did you get this thing?"
"I got this from your home. Your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all in my hands now."
The nanny's legs went limp and she fell to the ground. "General Jin, you can't do anything to them! Don't let the harm to your family members come to you. You are such a kind person, you will definitely not do anything to them, right?"
"Tell me everything you know about the Queen. If you behave yourself, I won't do anything to your relatives."
The nanny dared not hide anything and quickly told everything she knew.
Jin Zhi was not in the harem and the queen was relatively low-key, so he had no idea that this queen, who seemed to be indifferent to the affairs of the harem, was actually so vicious.
Not only did Gao Jingwan die at her hands, but even Wen Chuyun's disfigurement and miscarriage were related to her!
"Next, you will do as I say, and I will ensure that your family is safe. When you chose to help the evildoers, you should have thought about the consequences today."
Nanny was disheartened, but for the sake of her grandson, she had no choice but to agree, "I will definitely listen to Master Jin's words..."
Around noon.
The capital city is bustling with activity.
The nanny came to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace, took a deep breath, picked up the drumstick, and hit the Dengwen drum hard.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound was very loud and could be heard from far away, immediately attracting countless people.
"What's going on? Someone's beating a drum?"
"It seems to be true..."
A man in the crowd looked around, ran to where the crowds were, and shouted, "Hurry up, someone is beating the drum to complain! That's the Drum for Reporting, a major case that the Emperor will personally try!"
"I just came over from there. They said they were going to sue the Queen! You may not come across a case this big once in your lifetime!"
Instigated by the man, more and more people gathered nearby.
They didn't dare to get close to the Meridian Gate and could only watch from a distance.
The nanny had a solemn expression. She waved her arms and hammered continuously, shouting with almost all her strength, "I want to protest my injustice! I want to sue the current queen for harming the concubines and the royal heir. This is a heinous crime and she deserves death!"
When they heard the name of the queen, the onlookers were shocked.
"I didn't expect that they would sue the queen. This is going to be a good show to watch."
The guards guarding the Meridian Gate came out in full force and surrounded the nanny.
"Do you know that this is the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace? Are you hitting the Dengwen Drum?"
The maid knelt on the ground and said, "I know. I have always been a maid in the palace and I know these things very well."
Hearing that she was originally from the palace, several guards looked at each other and realized that the matter was not simple.
"You come in with us first."
"No, I won't go in!" The nanny stood up quickly and backed away. "If I go in, no one will know about the queen's affairs. She will definitely try her best to kill me!"
She raised her voice and shouted, "Concubine Wen in the palace was originally pregnant with the emperor's heir, but because of the koi holding a pearl that the queen created, Concubine Wen's appearance was ruined, resulting in the loss of the heir in her belly! Concubine Gao in the palace was also killed by someone she hired!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.
If what this nanny said is true, then what the queen did was extremely vicious and beyond description!
Everyone in the world knows that the current emperor has a hard time having children. It took him seven years to have two princes.
Anyone who dares to attack the royal heir will definitely be committing a serious crime.
The nanny continued, "I have evidence that proves it was the Queen who did it! I was the one who found the poison, and I know what it is!"
The guard was a little anxious, "How can you make up stories about the queen at will!"
"I have the guts to beat the drum to report the incident, how can I make up something at random! I am an old servant in the palace, and I know the consequences of beating the drum. To sue an official is to report the incident with the intention of dying!"
When the nanny thought about what Jin Zhi said, the last bit of fear disappeared.
Anyway, she is already old and has spent her whole life in the palace. She has seen all kinds of rich and luxurious life, so it can be said that she has not lived her life in vain.
Before dying, if you can make up for your past mistakes and accumulate virtue for your grandchildren, your death will not be in vain.
What's more, Lord Jin also promised to give her a sum of money if the task was accomplished, enough to make her son's family rich for the rest of their lives.
The nanny's tone became even more excited. "Listen carefully, folks. The queen is a vicious person with a heart of a snake and a scorpion! Concubine Gao had just entered the palace for a month, and she was only favored by the emperor twice, but the queen killed her and used this to slander Concubine Jin of the Jin family! That was a life, and it was gone just like that."
"Lady Gao's father is the Left Prime Minister. She is a true noble lady in the capital. She can die at any time. The maids who serve the queen are all terrified, afraid that they might upset her. The reason why I jumped out to sue the queen is because she wants to kill me to silence me! Anyway, I am going to die, why should I help the tyrant!"
The nanny became more and more angry as she spoke, and her tone made people believe her. "I am willing to swear on my life that everything I said is true! The queen killed the royal heir and the concubines, and she is not worthy of being the master of the harem!"
