Chapter 788 Not Like This!
Xiao Xixi grabbed the fried peanut beside him, and said lazily while peeling the shell.
"Aren't you asking Ben Gong for help about Jing Feng's affairs?"
Concubine Jing was stunned and blurted out: "How could the noble concubine know about Jing Feng?"
Xiao Xixi: "When Ben Gong left the palace, I heard people talk about it."
Concubine Jing made her posture more respectful.
"Since the imperial concubine already knows about this, can you help..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Xixi.
"Can't."
Concubine Jing knew that she would not agree to help easily, but she did not expect that she would refuse so quickly.
Concubine Jing pursed her lips and said slowly.
"Although Jing Feng was a little impulsive, in the end it's just a jade pendant, and the jade pendant has already been returned to the King of England.
It's not really a big deal.
It was only because the King of England refused to be private that things got to this point.
The concubine had no choice but to ask the imperial concubine for help.
If Jing Feng can be released successfully, the concubine and the Jing family will remember the kindness of the concubine and the Jing family, and they will definitely repay it in the future if there is a chance. "
When Xiao Xixi heard this, she chuckled unceremoniously as if she had heard a joke.
Concubine Jing was inexplicably laughed at by her.
"What are you laughing at, the concubine?"
Xiao Xixi threw away the peanut shell in her hand and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, Ben Gong just thinks you're very interesting. In the bottom of my heart, I really want Ben Gong to die, but on the face I still want to ask Ben Gong for help. What else do you keep in mind? Are you remembering grace or not? What about hatred?"
Concubine Jing's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said, "My lady has misunderstood. My concubine has always respected you, and has never hated you."
Xiao Xixi was noncommittal about this.
She said to Ziezhi.
"Bring over the small notebook that is on the bedside of Ben Gong."
"Here."
Broken branches soon brought a small notebook.
The black cover is the size of a palm. After opening it, there are dense small characters inside.
This little book was sent by Shang Kui.
Before Xiao Xixi asked Yu Linwei to investigate the details of the Shao family and the Su family, Yu Linwei didn't know what to look for, so he simply recorded all the daily activities of the two families, and then sorted them out by a special person, and wrote them into this small book. in the book.
Xiao Xixi had already read all the contents of this book.
She turned to the page with the folded corner and read according to the content.
"There are three people in the Shao family, and the eldest daughter of the three rooms entered the palace draft and was selected as a good person."
"Shao Liangren's father taught at Guozijian and served as a teaching assistant."
"Assistant Teacher Shao was almost suspended for accepting bribes and helping students cheat.
Having said that, Xiao Xixi lifted her eyelids and glanced at Concubine Jing leisurely.
There is only one person in Guozijian who follows the decree, and that is Concubine Jing's grandfather, who is now the head of the Jing family.
Concubine Jing's face was pale, and her fingers involuntarily grabbed the hem of her clothes, but she forced a smile on her face.
"Where did the noble concubine hear these rumors? They are all rumors, and they should not be taken seriously. Although the concubine's grandfather has a post of decree, he seldom intervenes in the affairs of Guozijian. He usually raises flowers and animals at home. , how is it possible to do such a thing? Impossible."
Xiao Xixi turned to the next page and said lazily.
"Don't worry, there's more here."
"The Shao family often sends gifts to the Jing family, especially Shao Liangren's father, who goes to the Jing family almost every two days to say goodbye to Mr. Jing."
"The relationship between the Shao family and the Jing family seems to be very good, but the strange thing is that since late November last year, the Shao family unilaterally cut off contact with the Jing family."
"Bengong thought about it carefully. Late November is the time when the autumn hunting is over, and Shao Liangren is demoted to the rank of servant and sent to the cold palace."
"Is it a coincidence that the Shao family cut off relations with the Jing family as soon as Shao Xuanshi was put into the cold palace?"
Concubine Jing's lips trembled slightly, and her face became paler.
She grabbed her sleeve tightly, trying to keep herself calm.
"The noble concubine really misunderstood. The Shao family does have some connections with the Jing family, but they are not closely connected. As for why the Shao family suddenly does not want to interact with the Jing family, I don't know about it."
Xiao Xixi smiled vaguely.
"The Shao family is not as good as the Jing family. It stands to reason that since the Shao family took the initiative to cut off contact with the Jing family, the Jing family should not take it to heart, but why did the Jing family order someone to send 100,000 yuan to the Shao family? Where's the two banknotes?"
Concubine Jing stiffened.
Xiao Xixi: "The silver note is still in the hands of Shao Xuanshi's father, and it has the seal of the Jing family on it. You only need to take the silver note to the bank to verify it, and then you can know whether it is from the Jing family."
Concubine Jing was speechless now.
She didn't expect the imperial concubine to even find out about this matter.
Xiao Xixi closed the small book, put it on the table next to it, and said, "The 100,000 taels of silver bills are the sealing fee given by the Jing family, in order to seal the mouth of Shao Xuanshi."
Concubine Jing denied it without thinking: "No! It's not like this!"
Xiao Xixi: "Otherwise, this palace will have people call Shao Xuanshi and the people of the Shao family to confront you and see how they explain the 100,000 taels of silver?"
Concubine Jing was immediately like a rooster stuck in her neck, unable to make a sound anymore.
Xiao Xixi: "When the Japanese Palace was assassinated in Shanglinyuan Palace, someone took advantage of the chaos to smash this palace with a vase, and wanted to kill this palace and kill it, and finally it was found out that Shao Xuanshi did it.
Concubine Li and Min Jieyu won't lie about this matter, and the person who smashed this palace with a vase should be Shao Xuanshi.
How could a mere Shao Xuan servant be so bold to murder Ben Gong?
Even if she was lucky enough to smash Ben Gong to death, what good could she do? "
Concubine Jing said loudly, "She must be favored because she is jealous of you!"
Xiao Xixi: "Shouldn't it be you who is really jealous?"
Concubine Jing's face suddenly turned from white to red, and she wanted to refute, but when she thought of the evidence in the other's hand, she couldn't say anything.
Xiao Xixi asked calmly, "Do you know what the crime of murdering a noble concubine is?"
Concubine Jing twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but she still couldn't laugh.
She put one hand on the table, stood up slowly, and then performed a standard Wanfu ceremony to the imperial concubine.
"The concubine really doesn't know what the concubine is talking about. If the concubine has solid evidence in her hand that can prove the concubine's guilt, then you should go straight to the prudent punishment department to get someone. It's getting late, and the concubine will not. After delaying the imperial concubine's rest, the concubine said goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
Seeing that she was about to leave Yunxiu Palace, Zhezhi couldn't help asking.
"Empress Concubine, shall we just let Concubine Jing go away like this? She instructed Shao Xuanshi to harm you, so there must be an explanation for this matter."
Xiao Xixi: "It's okay, let her go back and think about it."
Zhezhi didn't understand what the imperial concubine's words meant, but looking at the appearance of the imperial concubine, she should know what she said, so she didn't say any more.
