Chapter 143: Frame-Up (Monthly Ticket Bonus)

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, just wait and see how Mrs. Wei and Aunt Jiao frame the fault on the third room."

Mrs. Xing frowned and looked at the couple in front of her. One was calm and the other was calm.

It's really a bit confusing.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi explained.

"Mrs. Wei is reluctant to hand over Nanny Jiao to take the blame, so she naturally has to find a scapegoat. The people in Dongyuan have the general, so she can't do anything easily. She just wants to find someone to pour some dirty water on the general."

"But the people in Sanfang are different. They have no power to rely on, and they have enough reasons to pay for murder, such as to stay! Or they want to replace them."

I have to say that Du Jingyi's brain is really easy to use.

Although he was not at the scene, he knew exactly what Grandma Jiao and Mrs. Wei were thinking.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized it.

"So what you said just now is just to let them harm the third room by talking about gods and ghosts?"

"When I got married, I noticed that the people in the third room, especially the third uncle and the third uncle, always had a strong smell of incense. It was obvious that they liked to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they believed in the things of gods and ghosts. of."

"I know, Mrs. Wei must also know."

Mrs. Xing nodded from time to time, and also praised Du Jingyi's careful observation.

"Today my father-in-law was assassinated, and the assassin fell into the hands of the general. Mrs. Wei and Aunt Jiao must be very anxious. The more this happens, the easier it is for them to do cruel things, so the third wife has to skin her even if she doesn't die this time. "

"I guess they will blame this matter on a certain mother in the third room, saying that she got the instructions from the third uncle's grandfather to hire a murderer. Just watch, there will be trouble near the woodshed."

After listening to Du Jingyi's explanation, Mrs. Xing and Xing Zhao finally understood.

Especially Xing Zhao, he said with two clicks of his tongue.

"Sister-in-law, you are so good at learning how to leverage your strength! If you serve in the army, you must be an unparalleled strategist!"

Shang Ji also laughed, obviously he recognized Xing Zhao's words.

Mrs. Xing asked a lot.

"When will the Duke wake up?"

"Only three or two days, my father's injury is not serious."

Although the Grand Duke Shang Yukuan had some hardships when he was young, he grew up in the fields.

But so many years of prosperity have long made him forget the hardships of those years.

I'm afraid that after this assassination, people will change.

But Dongyuan's life over the years has not been much better than this, so Shang Ji feels that this is what he deserves.

Mrs. Xing also said happily.

"You deserve it. For so many years, he has been the only one in this house pretending to be deaf and mute. He really thought that the matter could not be blamed on him and would have nothing to do with him."

Mrs. Xing was completely dissatisfied with this cousin-in-law.

If she hadn't been concerned about the people in Dongyuan, she would have cut off all contact with the Duke's Mansion long ago.

There is no need to watch them outside every day, acting out some good drama about the deep love between husband and wife.

The assassination of the Duke finally alarmed the people in the palace.

The emperor immediately stated that he wanted to investigate thoroughly, so he asked people from the Ministry of Punishment to take over the interrogation of the assassin.

As expected, the efficiency of the Criminal Department has increased this time.

However, the investigation was almost completed in three days, and the target was pointed directly at the Duke's Mansion.

As a result, Emperor Long Yan was furious and began to send people to search the Duke's mansion.

As luck would have it, the person who came was none other than Mrs. Wei's brother, Wei Mingxian, the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Division.

As soon as he arrived, he started searching the yard one by one.

In order to ensure his fairness, he deliberately started from the girl's Yunjinyuan.

"Forgive me, madam. I am conducting a thorough investigation of the Duke's mansion according to your majesty's order, so I will be doing some serious digging today."

Mrs. Wei has been frightened and exhausted these days. Naturally, her face is not very good, but she speaks with great understanding and righteousness.

"My lord, you can just search at will. I also want to know who is so cheating and dares to buy the murder master! If found, he must die!"

Wei Mingxian raised his eyes and glanced at his sister, feeling a little admired in his heart.

If I hadn't known the truth in advance, I might have been tricked by her.

"Okay, let's start searching."

"yes."

Those who came today were all soldiers from the Gyeonggi Division, and they were also Wei Mingxian's confidants.

Although he felt that the girl was using this trick too faintly, he had no choice but to help cover it up for the sake of the Wei family and her status in the Duke's Mansion.

After taking a look at Mrs. Wei, I saw that she looked calm, but more filled with righteous indignation, so I knew that the arrangements must be in place.

Therefore, the men searched even more unscrupulously.

Not only the master's house, but also the servants below were spared.

As the most capable person around Mrs. Wei, Aunt Jiao naturally wanted to search everything in detail.

Grandma Jiao has been "seriously ill" these past few days, so she lies in bed unable to move.

His complexion was sallow, his eyes were weak, and his whole body was severely swollen. He was completely different from before.

The soldiers came in and searched around without showing any fear, but they really didn't find anything.

Seeing that no abnormality was found in Yunjin Courtyard after digging three feet into the ground, the Gyeonggi Division personnel stopped.

"Madam, it's safe here. Let's go to the next place."

"Yes."

After checking Yunjin Courtyard, they checked Xiyuan. Shang Silang's family and Shang Qilang's empty room were living in Xiyuan, so it was not difficult to search.

There was nothing special about Xiyuan, so they went straight to Dongyuan after checking.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion were detained together, and they were all panicked.

But there was nothing they could do, so they could only kneel down and listen to the news.

Because Shang Ji was there, they didn't dare to act rashly.

And in Dongyuan, there was a smell of medicine everywhere, and there was a room full of patients everywhere.

Not to mention the soldiers who were searching, even Wei Mingxian felt very unlucky standing in this area.

He was afraid that he would bring the disease over.

So, after the soldiers hurriedly searched, they said to Shang Ji.

"You've offended the general, let's go!"

The two of them didn't have much in common. If it weren't for the conflict between the Gu family and the Wei family, there might still be some feelings of military generals respecting military generals.

Now, each is doing it for their own relatives.

Du Jingyi calmed down after watching Wei Mingxian lead his men away.

"It looks good, but I guess the third room can't escape this time."

Shang Ji looked coldly in the direction of Beiyuan, not caring about what their ending would be.

To put it bluntly, if they could move out of the Duke's Mansion on their own initiative, they wouldn't have gotten into this kind of thing.

Now if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being greedy and incompetent.
