Chapter 335: Let's Settle This Account Together
In the last round of the "parade" of flower boats and painting boats, in the water behind, little lanterns were lit up, which seemed to be placed while sliding. Compared with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of river lanterns is even two or three times larger, and the distance is long enough, and there is no world of lights on both sides of the strait, even because the painting boat gradually extinguished its own lights after putting down the small river lights. The lights, the lights in the river are particularly conspicuous, at that moment, people feel that a galaxy is lit up.
Jing Wan couldn't help leaning forward, lying on the edge of the window, looking at it for a while, "It's beautiful." She said softly.
"Well, it's pretty." Li Hongyuan agreed, wrapping her fingers around the ends of her hair, going round and round.
Afterwards, the wall skirts opened by Wanhuatai were also closed one by one until they returned to their original state and the lights inside were turned off, officially announcing the end of the Baifang Ferry.
Perhaps because of this last galaxy, Jingwan's mood has improved a lot. "My lord, let's go back."
"it is good."
No need to make any more orders, Eunuch Mu hurriedly made arrangements.
The painting boat that Prince Jin was in moved, and he headed back to his house. Naturally, the others also made preparations one after another. They could not move until Prince Jin left them... As for going home, they were hooked by these "little fairies" and lost their souls. It's unknown if you are going to spend the night in the golden cave for dark rubbing.
However, the physical exertion of the top 12 houses tonight is not too big. As long as the old bustard is not crazy, they should not be allowed to continue to accompany the guests.
Speaking of which, even if this Hundred Boat Ferry is over, it still leaves a lot of people unfinished and memorable, and the most mentioned one is of course Dawn, but, in the mouths of these men, it must be difficult to use purely appreciative words. Looking at her, no matter what the surface is, how filthy and filthy the heart is, how filthy and filthy.
"Wait for the exit ceremony, I'm afraid this value will rise again, right?"
"It's still out of the cabinet, let's see, maybe it will be delivered to Prince Jin tonight."
"It makes sense." Many people agreed.
"Speaking of which, the date that Prince Jin chose is quite a coincidence. If there is another day at night, there will be at least one person, hehehe..."
Others laughed weirdly. Although these people were a little regretful, they were nothing more than that. After all, at the beginning of the dawn, they could never buy it.
Suddenly, "Ah, dead man..." But all the silence ended there.
The pole of the painting boat poked something obviously wrong. With a little attention, you can find the abnormality in the water. It is not one or two people who died in this river. There are two people. Naturally, more and more abnormalities are discovered, and then , The water of this river has changed color, and it was undoubtedly discovered by the light. You know, it was fine before night, and all fools know that this is a big deal. You must know that there are more than one corpses that have been found. , the water has become this color, who knows how much there is below.
"Hurry up, hurry up—" "Hurry up, hurry up..." The constant ups and downs of urging voices, just thinking about getting out of this ghost place, as for the romance, it has long been thrown into the clouds, and now I just want to go home and be shocked .
However, the punters who are usually good at punting seem to be out of order now, and they are all in a hurry to leave. Naturally, it becomes more and more chaotic. Whether it is a private boat or a variety of painting boats, they all collide with each other. Naturally It was one after another of curses, and that scene was really...
Even the timid ones will tremble at this time, and if they are timid, they will not be able to stand steady, or even urinate in fright.
Jingwan and the others didn't go far enough. Naturally, they heard the commotion from behind. Although they couldn't hear it clearly, they basically knew what was going on. "How many people?" Jingwan couldn't stop asking, knowing it was best not to ask.
The question was a bit specious. Li Hongyuan still knew what she was asking, and looked at Jingwan for a while, only to see calm in her eyes, "More than one hundred." In order to kill him, this is not a big deal. If it is really just that person on the bright side, the other party will definitely succeed.
Jingwan took a slight breath and said, "What about our people, how about the casualties?"
"Wang...Young Master, rest assured, because there are already arrangements and enough manpower, only a few of our people have suffered minor injuries, and it is not a big problem." An Yi said respectfully.
"That's good, don't be stingy with good wound medicine, let them take care of them as soon as possible." As for the others, more than 100 dead people were deliberately left in the river. What kind of panic will be caused? How anxious the officials will be, Jing Wan did not mention a word.
It was those people who wanted her husband's life. No matter how many people died, she couldn't have the slightest sympathy and pity. As for the officials who escaped her husband's clutches, hehe... those frightened "commoners" behind , hehehe...
Jing Wan's heart didn't make waves, but Aunt Mei couldn't take it easy, her heart was beating wildly, and she even felt that she might die suddenly in the next moment. Even so, she still had to keep her spirits up until she sent Jingwan and her group off the boat. At this point, the entire boat was out of her, and there was no one to wait on the boat, which made the boat look special. It's so big, it's extraordinarily lonely, thinking of the more than 100 dead people, although not at this foot, but the same river, not too far apart, in the darkness, I always feel ghostly, as if the next moment will be able to kill The whole boat was swallowed, how could it not make people panic.
Aunt Mei couldn't hold it any longer, she leaned on the low table softly, "Go back, hurry up..."
Although these punters were also affected, they were not at the center of the incident, at least they could still use their hands.
Aunt Mei returned to Louxiefang for a while
Slowed down a bit, and after a rest, I remembered the assassination in the painting boat, and hurriedly called the people who stayed in the building to ask if someone could come to the building to inquire.
Li Suyan did bring people to investigate. It turned out that two maids in the building were replaced because of the dark lights, and later because of the nobles in front of them, all of them bowed their heads, so they didn't notice that in the building. The two maidservants were not lost, they had already been sent back.
Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief, which was considered a fortune among misfortunes, "Giving the two little girls some silver is considered a shock, and I will rest for two more days."
"Yes."
"You must all know what happened at Wanhuatai. If you spread the word, no one in Louxiefang is allowed to talk about it. Let me know. Be careful of your skin." Aunt Mei said sharply. This matter was obviously the work of Prince Jin's subordinates, and the people who died were clearly the same as the two in the painting boat. To assassinate the prince of the dynasty was simply eating the gall of a bear and a leopard.
However, Baifangdu is the head of her Louxiefang after all. If Prince Jin does not take his anger out, he should keep a low profile and restrain himself.
After dealing with this matter, although Aunt Mei felt tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all. After thinking about it, she decided to visit Dawn.
The girls in Louxiefang were not light, but they were very calm at dawn. They ordered people to prepare warm water, bathe and change clothes, which seemed to be the same as before.
Dawn used to be special in the past, but that kind of special is within the range of people's tolerance. Whoever made her the top card, those special things are hers to enjoy, but now the special things are different. It will inevitably make people feel weird. When she came back, she knew that she might be on the rise, but there were still people walking around her.
The lights in the room were still on, Aunt Mei knocked on the door and waited for a while, but it was Dawn who opened the door herself. Aunt Mei frowned, "Where are the people around you?"
"Frightened, their hands and feet are stiff after pouring a glass of water, so I asked them to go back and rest." Dawn poured tea for Aunt Mei herself, "Aunt Mei is back now, is there anything else?"
"It's okay, just look at you." Aunt Mei looked at her carefully, her brows were as clear and serene as before, and her demeanor was natural. "You don't know what happened in front of Wanhuatai, Dawn?"
Dawn naturally understood what Aunt Mei was talking about, "I know." More than that, she had noticed the abnormality of the river water when she was putting on the lantern. The blood was mixed in the water. Although the taste was diluted a lot, it still did not escape her. His nose, "Blood pools of mud, grief all over the fields, and mountains filled with starvation, I haven't seen anything, I just heard that people died and the rivers are dyed red, so what, I haven't even seen a corpse, what's there to be afraid of. "Dawn's voice was quiet.
Aunt Mei was moved. She knew that Dawn had been rough. In fact, many people in their industry had their own stories, but what Dawn had experienced was still a little shocking, but she had never heard her say this before. I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Aunt Mei doesn't need to worry about me, but Aunt Mei has been busy since yesterday and can't rest for a moment. Today, she has been with the nobles all the time. She must be exhausted. Go back and rest early. There are many things in and out of the building. It all needs Aunt Mei to take care of it, and it's better to take care of it."
Aunt Mei did not leave, "I know my own situation personally. You are showing off the limelight today... I just don't know that everything came from the wishes of Princess Jin. I should have listened to you yesterday, otherwise..."
"It's okay, Aunt Mei is for me, I know it.—Prince Jin is a nobleman of Tianhuang, but he has a deep affection for Princess Jin, who has a straight face and a kind heart, and is also infatuated with Prince Jin. One piece, such a loving couple is invaluable, and it shouldn't be ruined by others."
Dawn rarely has mood swings on weekdays. Even if it needs to be ushered in, it is only a smile on the face, and the inside is always calm. At this moment, Aunt Mei can rarely hear a trace of envy in her tone. But there is no jealousy, and probably will not yearn, because knowing that it is impossible, and even less wanting to be involved in such a husband and wife. For their group, Dawn is definitely an alternative. Maybe some people disdain her and think she is pretending, and maybe some people even scold her for being a poster and setting up a torii. There are not many people who are jealous and hateful. It's completely dirty, and you alone keep the inside clean, making people want to destroy, get dirty, and drag them down together.
Aunt Mei has the kind of thinking behind, but she wants to protect her, and its contradictions. This time, he didn't mock her. "You... rest."
"Well, Aunt Mei also rested early after she went back."
Aunt Mei nodded and left. In the end, what she wanted to say was not this. She wanted to tell her that the ceremony of leaving the cabinet would not be delayed for a few days. As long as she did not send her to Prince Jin within three days, someone would come to the door. She just said that, she will not have any reaction, although she was in a bad mood a few days ago, in fact, she was already prepared.
It's not that Aunt Mei has never seen Tan Ran, but she is very clear that the reason for Dawn Tan Ran is different from other people's, and the reason cannot be asked.
At the same time, all the officials in the Chuanzhou Mansion were also disturbed. The relevant personnel naturally got up from their beds and rushed to the scene without their clothes being properly dressed. The irrelevant people also stayed up all night and hurriedly rushed to the scene. Send to inquire about specific information. Everyone knows that Prince Jin is packing a painting boat today. On the Linchuan River, they didn't have the guts to join in the fun. They were afraid that Prince Jin would be blinded and suffer again, but they still failed to escape.
The officer held a torch and blocked the scene, and Lord Futai also came to the scene in person, watching the people salvage the body tremblingly.
The flow rate of the Linchuan River is very small. After such a time, the bodies are basically still in place, and they are salvaged one by one.
To a certain extent, it is quite dense, one for a while, and one for a while, and it makes people tremble.
The inspection has been carried out since the beginning, and the results are basically the same, that is, the key is injured by the sharp blade, most of which are fatal in one blow, and there are only a handful of people who have more than three wounds on their bodies. At the end of the salvage, I made sure that the river was clean. I counted it down to one hundred and ninety-two. Then I looked at the clothes of these people, and I thought with my toes to know what was going on. It's over, so many people assassinate Prince Jin, even if he escapes first, it is doomed that he will not be guaranteed.
The data here has just been counted, and it didn’t take long for other officials to basically know the result, and it was almost the same two words: It’s over!
And these people really want to finish, not just this thing.
However, even this is not dereliction of duty, do nothing, those who are still huddled at home and hurried out, don't care about any faction at this time, let alone whether it is their responsibility or not. Opponents, discussing the big plan together, and minimizing the serious consequences that may be brought about by this incident is serious.
He hired a dozen painters overnight to draw everyone's faces. It is impossible for so many people to have fresh faces. Usually, only the merchants are more mobile, and the larger caravans come and go. There are records, but it's just a simple face entering the city, one or two is fine, nearly 200 can't be completely unnoticed, you know, those who guard the gate for a long time are not vegetarians. As long as these people don't appear out of nowhere, the whole city can always find people who know them, even if it's only a part of them, and then follow the vines, and how far they can do it in the end will be left to fate.
After Jingwan and the others went back, they asked the back kitchen to prepare a light and simple meal. They were almost 70% full. Then they sat down, took a bath, and had a good night's sleep.
Compared to how many people have sleepless nights, it's not too comfortable.
The next day, when I just got up and finished my breakfast, I heard Eunuch Mu say that the adults outside came to the door for a long time, wanting to see the master.
"Tell them to come back to this king when there is a result. If they can't find the result, let them wash their necks for this king."
With Li Hongyuan's words, there is nothing else to say, hurry up and do things.
Countless copies of the portrait were made. All the people in the patrol room were pulled out, and the city guards were pulled out. These were still not enough. Two thousand government troops were also pulled from the barracks. The city gates that were closed last night were not opened at all. Let everyone take a look one by one, and speed up the efficiency as much as possible without taking too much trouble.
Because they didn't know what happened, the people in the whole city were panicking, and at the same time, they cooperated abnormally. As a result, it didn't take long for news to come out. After finding one person, a lot of people can basically be involved later. . And a small number of these people have family members. There is no doubt that these people will not have good results regardless of whether they know the truth or not. The end is the same for young and old, but if the remnants of the previous dynasty are involved, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. However, when she arrived at Jingwan, she wouldn't say a word.
Prince Jin was assassinated while watching Baifangdu, and Louxiefang was naturally the first one to be severely investigated, and the other eleven families would definitely not be able to settle well. Usually, even if they have nothing to do with them, there are nine out of ten. What to do to get in, but Jingwan thought of this, and sent someone to say hello, so when these officials took the opportunity to play arrogant, they moved out of the name of Prince Jin, and they could only follow the rules and dare not presumptuous.
Things went much better than expected, although half of the people were "visiting relatives and friends" to some extent, staying at a friend's house.
In the evening, the officials cheered up and asked to see the Prince of Jin together.
Li Hongyuan didn't bother them, because he generally knew and didn't embarrass them. "Okay, this king will not pursue this matter..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a feeling of being alive. Since Prince Jin was intact and he was not held accountable, and the special status of an assassin, the Sage should not punish him too harshly. However, this breath has not been completely relieved, and Prince Jin began to release thunder again...
"...Let's calculate another matter. The people who were transferred after the earthquake in Minshan County three years ago can get out."
Those who don't know why, naturally looked left and right, and then withdrew respectfully, but those who knew, no matter how good their attitude was, they couldn't help but change their faces.
What is falling from the cloud to the dust, this is it!
Li Hongyuan picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and then looked at them with a sloppy expression, his eyes were not so sharp, but they couldn't bear it.
When the heat was almost over, Li Hongyuan spoke again, "I said that your family members are the most exiled, if the situation is better, the left is only without the family property, but people can return to their original places with all their tails, and there is still a chance to recover after three generations; wait for this king. For the light ones, women were demoted to slaves and filled into the Jiaofang Division, and all men were cleansed and served as the lowest servants. For the heavy ones, they would be executed. Don't complain to this king, let alone tell this king that you don't know. Of course , If you are lucky enough to try to see if this king has any evidence in his hands, don’t hesitate to say anything. ——Come here, invite all the lords down and let them think clearly, this king doesn’t mind waiting an extra night.”
Don't give them a chance to speak at all, take them all down, one room per person, they only have one night.
When Jing Wan learned about this, she couldn't admire it. This psychological warfare was really not an ordinary game.
In fact, there is not much evidence for this incident. The people who participated in this incident knew the seriousness of the incident and swept their tails very cleanly. Of course, it is not impossible to investigate, such as checking the tens of thousands of people The whereabouts of , but it is too troublesome, Li Hongyuan has no spare time. Even if he suspects that he is cheating,
But he didn't dare to gamble.
This night, some people lived countless times more pain than the night before.
In the morning, Li Hongyuan was in a good mood for the morning exercise. Watching his wife's morning exercise, she only wore a apron and trousers. She was deceiving Sai Xue's lustrous skin, and she was sweating again. In addition, Jing Wan had grown so fast during this period of time, don't mention her appearance. It's so attractive, but Jingwan is ignorant, but she concentrates on practicing yoga, and stretches her figure to the extreme. Li Hongyuan's eyes are getting deeper and deeper, and she doesn't even hide the changes in her body, but she doesn't go. Instead of disturbing Jing Wan, she kept waiting.
When the practice was over, Jingwan got up, adjusted her breathing, then raised her smile and looked at Li Hongyuan, the next moment, her smile was a little stiff, this bastard was sitting with a golden knife, it was not too obvious there, but also that look, a few I mean, it's like eating people. Jing Wan glanced left and right, when did the waiter go out? There is no master-servant friendship. "Uh, that, A Yuan, sit down for a while, I'll go wash, and then have breakfast together." Apply oil on the soles of your feet and prepare to leave.
It's a pity who is Li Hongyuan, the wolf whose eyes are starving and green can let the plump and tender sheep with his mouth run away?
As if she knew the route of Jing Wan's escape, she intercepted it halfway, not a gentle princess hug, but rather rudely resisted.
Jing Wan exclaimed, "Bastard."
What I got in exchange were two slaps on the buttocks, neither light nor heavy. They didn't hurt, but they were dyed with a very strong color, and they were rubbed twice badly.
Jingwan gritted her teeth and wanted to bite someone, but she was sure that when she took this bite, someone's arrogance would definitely rise. It's not like this has never happened before. "A Yuan, A Yuan, I'm sweating..."
Li Hongyuan put Jingwan on the bed and leaned over, "Why is it stinky sweat, my liver is the most fragrant when I'm careful."
"I, I'm hungry."
"Okay, I'll feed you right away for my husband." Li Hongyuan opened his mouth rudely.
So, the adults who were locked up and reflect on themselves clenched their fists and made a decision. However, the left and right did not see the shadow of Prince Jin, which made him feel more and more uneasy. With three poles in the sun, Prince Jin finally arraigned. Their eyes, one by one, were all bloodshot.
Li Hongyuan was arraigned one by one, and without his questioning, he had already collapsed cleanly.
The people in the back didn't dare to hide it, they didn't dare to gamble, let alone, who knows if the people in front had already shaken themselves out.
Although Jingwan had heard Li Hongyuan mention it before, but seeing those confessions still made people angry. These people are simply insane, don't they just eat less, wear less clothes, and do such a thing? Aren't you afraid that thunder will cut off your descendants?
