Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

The news from Linzhou had not yet reached Yudu, and the powerful people in Yudu were still unaware of it.

Regarding the tragic extermination of the Meng family, what the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice found out was just a so-called gangster feud, and what they arrested were just some insignificant minions. Emperor Xuanhe probably knew that this was the result of the two sides' officials not being able to find anything and just trying to appease the people of the world.

Su Changxun's wife Meng Yaling could not accept this result at all. At this time, Jiang Jin's people guided Jingzhao Yin Feng Gui to reveal the news of using southern Xinjiang poisonous insects to train assassins to Meng, and secretly guided Su Changxun's people to find Nanny Qing and Concubine Xian.

Just today, Meng Yaling struck the Dengwen Drum. Since ancient times, once the Dengwen Drum was struck, the person who struck the drum would have to endure thirty beatings before he could see the emperor.

When Emperor Xuanhe heard that the person who struck the drum to report the incident was Meng Yaling, the only surviving member of the Meng family, in order to highlight her hypocritical benevolence, he pardoned her sentence of thirty lashes.

In the magnificent and splendid Golden Throne Hall.

"Meng, why are you beating the Dengwen drum?"

Emperor Xuanhe was dressed in a black robe with five-clawed golden dragon, a crown and court beads on his head. He was full of majesty and aura as he looked at the prince who was wearing a simple black robe with only a white Meng Yaling on his head.

"I, your humble servant Meng, am beating the drum to report this to the emperor today because I recently discovered that my entire Meng family was brutally murdered, and the murderer is still at large. One hundred and twenty members of my family have been murdered, and Chang'an Street has been stained red with blood overnight. Now, your humble servant requests that the current emperor reopen the case of my Meng family to comfort the souls of my family members in heaven!"

Meng Yaling knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes and a mournful tone as she spoke. After that, she knelt and kowtowed, begging Emperor Xuanhe to clear the name of the Meng family.

"Ms. Meng, who are you suing? Do you have any evidence?"

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Meng Yaling who was crying sincerely. Although he felt a little impatient in his heart, he considered that the Meng family was the home of veteran ministers in the court after all, and he didn't want to disappoint the ministers, so he asked.

In fact, there was another point. He also wanted to know who the evidence Meng Yaling found pointed to, and who the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice could not find out.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Meng immediately told him all the information she had secretly gathered over the past few days. Although she was a lady, her tone was powerful and resonant.

"I, your humble servant, am suing the current virtuous concubine, Tang Yurou, and the current prince, Jiang Yi, for secretly protecting a sorcerer from southern Xinjiang and using poisonous insects to raise assassins. They are violating the law, privately killing the families of ministers, disregarding human life, and deceiving the emperor."

After saying this, he took out a written testimony document from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe, who had been sitting firmly at the top, did not change his expression when he heard that the people who were suing were his always-favored Concubine Xian and his most favored Prince Yi, Jiang Yi. However, his eyes were filled with coldness.

Seeing this, Wei Quanfu, who was waiting beside Emperor Xuanhe, stepped forward tactfully, took the petition from Meng's hand, and held it in front of Emperor Xuanhe. He was very cautious and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of getting into trouble.

Emperor Xuan He took the statement, opened it and read it quickly. The more he read, the worse his expression became, and the atmosphere around him became frighteningly gloomy.

After reading this, Emperor Xuanhe, with his suspicious nature, was already 50% convinced in his heart that there was indeed a Nanny Qing who was proficient in pharmacology and looked very much like someone from southern Xinjiang by Concubine Xian's side.

He had asked Concubine Xian about this before, and Concubine Xian made the excuse that it was because Nanny Qing was from Linzhou and her ancestors might have some southern Xinjiang blood.

After being reminded like this today, he actually felt that this Aunt Qing was a wizard from Southern Xinjiang, who was good at cultivating poisonous insects. If she used poisonous insects to raise assassins, wouldn't it be possible to threaten the safety of him, the emperor, at any time?

Then the people in the hall heard a "bang", and the statement and evidence in their hands were slammed onto the table. He did not expect that the virtuous concubine who appeared dignified and beautiful in front of him actually had such a side!

Then he gave an order to Wei Quanfu, asking him to look into the matter that Feng Gui, mentioned in the statement, had found out that the assassin's death was strange and was caused by a poisonous insect.

"Announce the return of Jingzhao Yin Feng."

Upon hearing this, Wei Quanfu immediately went out and ordered his eunuchs to convey the imperial edict. He also reminded the eunuchs to be careful and not to offend the emperor at this juncture.

About a quarter of an hour later, Feng Gui was hurriedly summoned to the Golden Palace. He knelt in the palace and recounted everything he had found out.

Basically, he found out that these assassins were indeed trained by the method used by the wizards in southern Xinjiang to raise assassins. As for the whereabouts of the wizards, although he didn't know it for the time being, he knew that it must be the work of some powerful person whom he couldn't afford to offend.

In fact, he had found out about this matter privately, and originally did not want to expose it, after all, preserving his life was the most important thing. Who would have thought that the news would leak out at some point and be known to Su Changxun. Now, he, Feng Gui, has become a witness in Meng's lawsuit against Concubine Xian.

With all the evidence, witnesses and evidence available, Emperor Xuanhe knew that even if Concubine Xian was not the mastermind behind the incident, she and her son were probably involved.

Thinking of this, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart, and he already had murderous intentions towards the person beside him who had ulterior motives.

At this moment, Xuan Hedi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if something was about to burst out of his body. A few drops of blood suddenly flowed out from the corner of his mouth. With a "bang", Xuan Hedi's body fell on the table.

This voice made the people kneeling in the hall tremble, and they bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to move.

"His Majesty!"

"Come here, Doctor Xuan!"

However, this startled Wei Quanfu, who was serving beside him. He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, shouted immediately, and then shouted outside, "Call the imperial physician."

The two people kneeling in the hall raised their heads amid the noise, looked at the bright red blood at the corners of Xuan and Di's mouths, and their hearts skipped a beat.

As soon as the incident happened, Wei Quanfu, who had served the emperor for decades, quickly calmed down, maintained order in an orderly manner, and immediately asked the empress dowager to come out to take charge of the situation, block the news, and seal the palace gates.

As for what happened in the Golden Palace, it was under the control of Wei Quanfu. No one dared to speak rashly. Before Emperor Xuanhe woke up, Wei Quanfu ordered his men to collect and guard all the evidence and statements.

Meng Yaling and Feng Gui were both detained in the palace. This matter was of great importance and everything had to be decided by Emperor Xuanhe.

When the news came, Jiang Jin was in the yard watching Mu Jiaojiao directing Wushuang to bring firewood from the kitchen. They placed the potatoes that Wang Zhong had just dug from the farm this morning under the firewood one by one, and then burned the firewood together as if it were a bonfire.
