Chapter 368 Check
"Madam, what the first lady meant is that this may not be done by someone in our house. When everyone impeached the Third Master before, the Emperor suppressed it. It is hard to guarantee that someone will not be convinced. Moreover, there is a big commotion in the harem now. Our queen is favored and has a prince, so it is inevitable that people will be jealous. Besides, the Marquis has returned to the capital now, and those who disliked our Marquis in the past are inevitable. Who doesn't want revenge?"
"Yes, old lady, the most important thing right now is to bring Qingyun back. He lost his mother suddenly, which is the most pitiful thing. And as for that little girl, take her to my place first. My sister-in-law can't take care of her now, so don't let someone hurt her, otherwise it will be hard to explain. As for other things, let's go through them in the mansion." Song said calmly.
Seeing her like this, Qu gradually calmed down: "You are right. But I am afraid that boy will not come back now. Who will go to find him?"
"Call Qinghe. Since things have gotten so bad, we can just ask people from the Imperial City Government to investigate. Of course, we have to be quick. Don't let others plot against us." Song said.
"What the elder sister-in-law said is true." Liang wiped her tears and said, "Let's start with me."
"Madam, my daughter-in-law has overstepped her authority, but this time, I'm afraid the whole mansion will have to go through this." Song said.
Qu frowned: "Okay."
Of course she was unwilling, but she had no choice but to do so because it was for the Shen family.
"A man of integrity has nothing to fear from his own shadow. Sister-in-law, you just need to be good. It's just that we are bound to be embarrassed this time. As long as we get to the bottom of this matter, we will be able to clear our name in the end." Song said.
Liang agreed with great gratitude, and then hurriedly wrote to the Liang family to tell them about this.
Immediately, Shen Qinghe went to the Imperial City Government Office to pick up Shen Qingyun.
Naturally, Shen Qingyun refused to go back, so Shen Qinghe sighed and explained for a long time, and finally half-pulled, half-tricked him into settling him in his father-in-law's house.
"You stay here for a few days. Don't worry. Your sister has been taken away by my mother. You are just impulsive. You made such a big fuss and you don't care about your sister?"
Speaking of his sister, Shen Qingyun's face turned pale: "What are you going to do to her! She is only that old!"
"Okay, I'm not threatening you, I'm just telling you. Think about it carefully. Although Third Aunt doesn't like your mother, how can she harm others so blatantly? Our family has been plotted against." After saying that, Shen Qinghe left.
The Lan family is a simple family with gentle people from top to bottom. They are quite nice to the illegitimate young master of the Shen family.
After pacifying the young master, the Shen family began to screen the entire mansion overnight.
When the cock crowed, I really found some mistakes.
All those who returned from Northern Frontier with the Shang family had been sent directly to the Ministry of Justice. After returning, all those who had contact with the Shang family were locked up in the mansion and interrogated one by one.
When the imperial government officials came to the door, the Shen family handed over two people, one was a maid in the backyard, and the other was a servant in the front yard.
These are the biological mother and son.
Liang was a noble lady, so the Imperial City government gave her face and did not take her away.
However, the interrogation had to be carried out at the Shen family.
Liang was very cooperative.
However, the mother and son confessed after being taken back and tortured three times.
It turned out that it was the servant who took the silver, and it was also the servant who bought the arsenic and gave it to the old woman.
The old woman put a packet of arsenic into Shang's bowl under the pretext of delivering food.
It was not difficult to check at all. The servant collected the money. All I knew was that he was a man, about 30 years old, wearing a green robe, but I couldn't tell anything else.
He only took two hundred taels of silver, but he killed a person and almost lost the Shen family.
When Jing'an Hou went to the Imperial City Government Office, he urged them to investigate the case as soon as possible.
Now the Shen family has become the victim. Having lost face, the Shen family has no scruples anymore.
Naturally, this news has reached Shen Chuliu's ears.
I really have nothing to say: "Who did this?"
She also believed in Liang. Although Liang was not as smart and capable as Song, she was not stupid either. She would never do such a thing.
Even if it was poison, it would have to be a fine poison that people couldn't tell. How could it be something like arsenic?
"It's really worrying." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"It is said that the eldest lady has already investigated the family in time and handed the person over. I just don't know if she can find him." Zi Rui said.
"My grandfather has gone to take charge, so it's impossible for him to find out. The Shen family is different after all. Now let's see what the emperor says." Shen Chuliu said.
"Could it be the Feng family?" Zi Rui asked.
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "If it is confirmed that Liang was responsible for this, can it kill the Shen family?"
"No way, at most Liang will be divorced, or something will happen to the third house, right?" Zi Rui said.
"Yeah, so I don't think it's the Feng family. Who is this person who has such long hands?" Shen Chuliu sighed.
This is because he saw that the Shen family and the Feng family were not on good terms, and even saw that she, the Zhaoyi, and Concubine Feng Shufei were incompatible, so he took action.
If the truth is uncovered, I'm afraid the Feng family will be blamed.
Marquis Jing'an was not just waiting there, he had been busy these past few days.
Therefore, when the emperor's edict just arrived at the imperial city, stating that a thorough investigation would be conducted, the impeachment letter of the official Feng family was placed before the emperor.
At this time, the emperor had just returned to Qingliang Mountain from the north.
"Feng Rongxing was corrupt?" Qi Yixiu looked at the memorial and smiled: "These things are old, and they have been dug up?"
This was what Feng Rongxing did when he was still in the local government. The amount of corruption was not that much, but corruption is corruption.
The direct branch of the Feng family is considered clean, but the side branches are not.
After a while, countless things were brought up.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Did this anger the old marquis?"
"Have you found out who did it?" The emperor also felt that the Feng family could not be so stupid.
"Your Majesty, this matter...is most likely that person." Chusi said.
"Well, what's the reason?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"I'm thinking, maybe it's because of their daughter? When the Second Prince lost power, the son of the Jiang family made all kinds of excuses and didn't want to enter the palace. Now... I'm afraid that the daughter of that family doesn't want to marry the Second Prince either. According to the intention at that time, they would have gotten married in a year or two."
"My cousin is really good at planning. But her daughter is already grown up. If she doesn't marry the second prince, is there any other prince who can marry her?" Qi Yixiu smiled faintly, and he didn't show much anger.
Chusi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, but I have recently heard that the youngest daughter of the Jiang family is also very good-looking. She is about the same age as our fourth, fifth, and sixth princes."
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Qi Yixiu smiled.
"Okay. Since the impeachment letter has been sent to me, let's take it to Duke Feng for his review." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
The Feng family was not extremely evil, so he never killed them all.
It should be free this time tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken.
