Chapter 1239: When the Truth Comes to Light, Shao Jing Obeys the Law
"What... what?" Shao Jing stammered.
Wen Xichi nodded, and a yamen servant stepped forward, took something down from above, and shook it in front of him. Looking at the jade pendant with a silk ribbon, Shao Jing didn't react for a while.
A piece of jade pendant that looks very ordinary is nothing.
"Is this jade pendant belonged to Marquis Xingguo?" Wen Xichi asked.
Shao Jing subconsciously wanted to say no, but saw a small orchid character on the corner of the jade pendant, and a small clump of orchids. As if he was frozen, he opened his mouth in amazement, but couldn't say a word. Unable to speak, my mind went blank.
orchid? Lan, Lan Niang? That former brothel prostitute Lan Niang?
"This jade pendant bears the name of Lanniang, a famous courtesan in the capital. It was originally given to this courtesan by you. There is a mark of Xingguo Hou Mansion on the back of the jade pendant. It should be custom-made by you who fell in love with this woman at that time. General Ning Yuan He and Qi Zhifu picked up this jade pendant, and guessed it was you based on the hint on the jade pendant, they have never seen you, but they have seen the old man!"
Wen Xichi's voice came down from above slowly, it was not light, but it hit Shao Jing's heart hard, making him flash for a moment, and the memory of that time suddenly flooded up.
At that time, he did have a private relationship with that famous prostitute named Lan Niang, and he was very infatuated with that woman, so he ordered a jade pendant to give to that woman. When he left Beijing, he also left from Lan Niang. The mother was covered, and then returned to Beijing, and came out from there, and then found a businessman to redeem the famous prostitute, and took her away from a distance. This journey lasted for more than ten years.
At that time, he had a relationship with this famous prostitute. Although he kept it from Jiang Shi, a few good friends knew that he lived in Lan Niang's house, and he told these friends privately that this It is also the reason why he firmly believes that someone will testify.
He was dating a famous prostitute and lived there, so he naturally had to keep it a secret from Jiang Shi. In order to prevent Jiang Shi from knowing, it was normal for him not to appear in front of people for a period of time.
But this jade pendant, why is the jade pendant here?
He remembered that it was given to the prostitute? Why was it thrown at the border, and Qin Huaiyong and the others picked it up? Because he didn't remember that he had brought this jade pendant before, and he didn't find that he had lost this jade pendant when he checked himself afterwards.
"The Marquis of Xingguo may not have imagined that this jade pendant was indeed on your body at that time. I heard that it was a betrothal gift for a courtesan from the Marquis of Xingguo. Maybe the courtesan put it on you specially at that time, in case you would forget her outside!" Wen Xi gallop.
A scene suddenly flashed in Shao Jing's mind. After he returned to Beijing, he went to Lan Niang's place first. Lan Niang asked him if he had anything to give her. Leaving back home in a hurry, for fear of being found out, Lan Niang's expression was very disappointed at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it should be about the jade pendant, and she is begging for the jade pendant from him.
Then he got her out of Beijing and never saw this woman again.
By accident, the jade pendant made him fall on the border. Shao Jing's hand trembled twice, and his face turned pale.
"The Marquis of Xingguo probably doesn't know about it yet. In fact, it's not just these things. Your concubine also recruited. It was the letter she sent you at that time to let you go." Wen Xichi said with more force.
E Niang also recruited? E Niang unexpectedly also recruited
?
If it's just a matter of reputation, it's not a big problem, and she won't be punished, but if it's related to something more than ten years ago, and in such a situation, how could she not be punished.
Shao Jing took a step back, sat heavily on the ground, and suddenly laughed, he lost, he really lost, originally thought that his niece used methods from the backyard, even if her reputation was not good, even if she was very noisy, so what, he He's a man, so he doesn't need to care about these things, and he's an elder, so it doesn't matter how noisy his niece is.
But now he finds out that he was wrong. It was clearly his niece who deliberately delayed the time, deliberately made him mistake it for a trivial matter, and deliberately made him not act, so that he lost the opportunity. He thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it seriously. After the other evidence was thrown out, the matter was actually very clear.
The actions are confusing, ruthless, and do not leave any way for people to retreat. Needless to say, this must be the method of the Prince Chen. Shao Jing is very regretful at this time. If he had known this, he would not have married his niece into the Palace of the Prince Chen. Without the support of King Chen, no matter how powerful his niece is, she would not be able to obtain so much evidence, and it would be impossible for Qin Huaiyong to testify.
For so many years, Qin Huaiyong has never mentioned it, and he has always been weak when facing himself, but Shao Jing will not feel that it was accidental to send this handle to the Prince Chen's Mansion.
At that time, the eldest brother took Princess Qinghua away. This was his best chance, so he secretly planned to start. He originally thought that they were going to the Jiangnan area, and it was inconvenient to do it. He didn't expect to go to the border, and he was still anonymous. Concealing the name, this is a great opportunity, taking advantage of the chaos, he brought his guards to assassinate the elder brother.
Later, when the Xingguo government found out the news about the elder brother, the elder brother was dead, and Princess Qinghua was brought back because she was mentally ill. No one cared about other things, even if he knew that the elder brother had a leftover daughter. , It was just a little girl. When E Niang left, she stayed with her elder brother, and then disappeared. During the war, even an adult was killed. How could a little girl survive.
A small omission, but in the end it was a catastrophe...
"What, Marquis Xingguo was arrested, maybe because of the matter of the former son of Xingguo, the death of the former son of Xingguo was related to him?" Chu Qing was shocked.
There was also a woman in pink clothes sitting in the room. If Shao Wanru was there, he would definitely recognize the woman in front of him as Mo Qiuyi who was in Yuhui Nunnery back then.
When she was in Yuhui Temple, Mo Qiuyi was just a poor orphan girl, but her current aura is different from before. She is fanning the round fan in her hand leisurely, and her face is lightly smeared with makeup, which is much better than when she was in Yuhui Temple. , looked much more refined, the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised, bringing a touch of charm.
"That's what uncle said, that Xingguohou's mansion is over, let the prince be careful!" Mo Qiuyi came to the door specifically for this matter!
"Why is it so sudden? Didn't it mean that his personal virtue was at a loss before?" Chu Qing said, he was also annoyed that Shao Jing was involved in the previous incident, and now that something happened to Shao Jing, he was afraid that he would be involved again. Well, Shao Jie'er shouldn't have been allowed to enter the palace of Prince Qing County in the first place.
"But it's not true, Prince Chen has made a move!" Mo Qiuyi reminded him.
Chu Qing lowered her head and took a deep breath: "Do you all think that this king is inferior to him?
Remind me again and again. "
"My lord, of course it's not like this, we have to be careful with him!" Mo Qiuyi hurriedly explained.
"Be careful of him, be careful of him, don't always tell me to be careful of him, I don't want to hear about him." Chu Qing was very annoyed, stood up and walked around Yuanxuan a few times before calming down the anger in her heart, "This king knows Now, this king will not interfere with the affairs of the Marquis of Xingguo's Mansion, isn't he related to Cheng Wang's Mansion, let Cheng Wang's Mansion intervene!"
Speaking of Prince Cheng's Mansion, his stomach is full of anger now, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he may be in the way of Prince Cheng's Mansion.
"It's best for the lord to think this way. Shao Jie'er is just a concubine, and Shao Jing won't take him seriously. The lord will not have any kind of beauty in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about a little concubine. It won't be good for the Xingguohou's mansion to get involved!" Mo Qiuyi laughed, covering the corner of her mouth with her round fan.
She is indeed in a good mood, she would rather hear about Shao Jie'er's accident than Xingguohou's mansion, this woman is actually taking advantage of the fact that she has not yet married into Qingjun's mansion, and entangled the king of the county, she is the prince's wife, She is just a concubine, but she rushed into the mansion in front of her, not relying on the support of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, if this support is gone, it's up to me to torture her in the future.
"Okay, you go to see the concubine mother and go back. You have to be more careful at this time!" Although Mo Qiuyi's pride was hidden, it still fell into Chu Qing's eyes, and she couldn't help showing a trace of displeasure. With this appearance, he still wants to be jealous at this time, he really is not a person who will make a big deal.
"Then I'll go back first!" Mo Qiuyi also knew that it was inconvenient to stay longer at this time, so she stood up and said with a smile. She couldn't calm down when she learned that something happened to the Xingguohou's mansion, but she just felt happy, very happy.
Chu Qing waved his hand and waited for Mo Qiuyi to leave before returning to the chair and sitting down again. After thinking for a while, his brows furrowed suddenly. This might be an opportunity for him, an opportunity to push the matter to King Cheng. He is not completely innocent about the matter, since King Cheng got involved, let him get involved even more.
After making up such an idea, he picked up the pen, brushed it full, thought about it, and immediately wrote it, and then he put it down, let it dry for a while, put it in an envelope, and asked the boy to send it out. For the matter of Xingguohou's mansion, the fire was set on the Chengwang's mansion.
King Cheng also got the news at this time. He got the news of the letter written by Shao Jing before. Looking at the envelope in which Shao Jing asked for help, King Cheng frowned tightly. For a big event, all you need to do is to say hello, but the meaning of it made King Cheng feel a little uncomfortable.
"Something happened to Shao Jing!" King Cheng handed the letter to Master Jieyan. Master Jieyan took it and looked at it at a glance. The more he saw it, the more dignified his expression became. After reading it, he put the letter paper away After putting it on the table, his expression was deep: "My lord, you can't get involved in this matter, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
"How to say?" King Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. Things haven't gone well recently, and his head hurts.
"The Marquis of Xingguo might make a small mistake." Ji Yan said, he had just read Shao Jing's letter, and it seemed that it was not a big deal, let alone the prince, even if Shao Jing said it himself, it would be fine, but It's really not a good sign to ask the prince's side.
