Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 142
[Chapter 107: “Minor Repair” [Two More in One]…]
Lin Chengyou glanced at Wu Qi, “Why did she send gold to Wang Mi?”
Jiao’er: “Because Wang Mi helped to do things, this gold is a reward for her.” “What
have you done?”
Kyauk Er said timidly, “Help arrange the plot—”
“Dean.” Wu Qi interrupted Jiao’er with a loud voice.
Then he hurriedly left the table and bowed his head to Dean Liu: “The student is what you have grown up watching, and what kind of character the student is, you know best.” I have a straight temperament since I was a child, how could I do such a thing? It is not difficult to buy a mane, this is clearly a framing against the samurai. Not long ago my eldest sister had an accident, is this my turn again? He also asked the dean to preside over justice, rather than being thrown dirty water for no reason, Ah Qi was willing to commit suicide to prove his innocence! She was filled
with righteous indignation, and her throat was even more hairy, and she looked aggrieved.
Vice President Liu’s heart softened, and he hurriedly helped Wu Qi up: “Good boy, don’t worry about it first.”
Wu Qi wiped her tears.
Vice President Liu and Lady Wu had a very good personal relationship, and on weekdays in the academy, they did not take much care of the martial sisters, and tonight Lady Wu did not go out of the city in order to take care of the eldest daughter who had lost her soul, and she was also responsible for this incident, so she said to the empress euphemistically: “Niangniang Mingjian.” I know this child, Ah Qi, who has always been upright and honest, and he absolutely cannot do such a despicable act, and I am afraid that it is difficult to be accurate based on the words of a squirrel alone. The
queen thought for a moment and said to the bottom, “You’re in.” Is there any other evidence besides the testimony of this squirrel?
Lin Chengyou looked at Jiao’er at his feet and made this scene, and Jiao’er was obviously much more confused than before, and he knelt on the ground, and he didn’t dare to say a word. He looked up at Wu Qi before taking the empress’s words: “Yes.” The nephew had expected that these two thieves would be extremely cunning tonight, and how dare they not make every preparation. He
said to Jiao’er, “You can rest assured, she will never be able to run.” As long as you tell me everything you know, I’ll keep you unscathed, but if you’re on your side, as soon as she gets out tonight, the first thing to do is to deal with you.
Jiao’er’s scalp was frozen: “The second lady and the second lady asked Wang Mi to send the two poems to Yiningfang, and Wang Mi said that she would find a way to send them to Lu Gongzi.”
Lin Chengyou: “Make it clear, which two poems?” “The
second lady stole the poem from Du Niangzi.”
“As soon as it was stolen that night, it was given to Wang Mi?” Your second wife already recognized Lu Gongzi?
Jiao’er shook her head: “I don’t recognize it.” This was Wang Mi’s idea. “Is
your second wife very familiar with Wang Mi?”
“Very familiar, they met through the Introduction of The Jing Dust Master tai of the Jade True Female Crown Temple.”
The pot exploded during the feast. Jing Chenshi was a key criminal pursued by the imperial court for many years, and only a while ago did he kill himself because of the defeat.
“You!” Wu Qi said, “Shizi, I heard that you have a great ability to judge cases, and you have always been like a fire, how did you get confused tonight to be led by the nose by a?” Jiao’er had already been bribed, and all he said was just——”
Lin Chengyou raised his hand to let the servants separate Wu Qi from the people around him, and then signaled to the palace guards who were highly skilled in martial arts to prevent someone from plotting against Wu Qi, so he said to Jiao’er’s hand: “Continue to talk.”
Jiao’er wiped his sweat and said everything he knew.
About five or six years ago, Wu Qi heard by chance that the Yuzhen Female Crown Guan had made a wish, and since then she has often gone to the Guan Li to burn incense, sometimes catching up with the flowers in the Guan Li, and also inviting her companions to hold poetry parties in the Guan Li.
After coming and going, he became acquainted with Master Jingchen, and at first he just chatted with Master Tai pin tea, and then he began to learn some strange martial arts with Master Tai.
This “porridge seller” Wang Mi was introduced to Wu Qi by Jing Chenshitai at that time, but at that time, Wang Mi did not sell porridge everywhere, but called herself Liu Pozi, who had opened a hu cake shop in xishi for a long time.
Jing Chen Shitai told Wu Qi that he was often not in Chang’an, and if Wu Qi had anything to do, he could go directly to Wang Mi.
After the Jing Dust Master Taifu Fa a while ago, Liu Pozi was afraid of being tracked down by the imperial court, and from then on she no longer bought hu cakes, but changed her appearance and sold porridge in the streets and alleys all day.
Since then, Wu Qi can only talk to Wang Mi for discussion.
When Wang Mi learned that Wu Qi wanted to deal with Du Tinglan, she wrote back to Wu Qi and asked Wu Qi to steal Du Tinglan’s belongings, saying that the rest was left to her to take care of and tarnish Du Tinglan’s reputation. “So
, you two don’t know that these two poems will eventually be delivered to Lu Zhao’an?”
Jiao’er said, “The Second Lady didn’t know this person before.” That day, Erniang stole Du Niangzi’s poetry manuscript, and ordered the maid to send it to Wang Mi, who quickly wrote back that this side had been arranged, but when the time came, people with many eyes and miscellaneous eyes would inevitably make mistakes, in order to be foolproof, let Erniang make some other preparations, if necessary, you can push this matter to the daughter of the Peng family, remember to do it without showing a trace. Hearing
this, Peng Huayue grabbed Wu Qi at a glance, and Peng Jinxiu’s eyes were also full of annoyance.
“You know the details of these letters so clearly?” Lin Chengyou said with great interest, “Even if your second wife trusts you, Wang Mi can’t be defenseless, you just help pass on a letter, who can know these details, unless… You’ve peeked into their letters.
Kyauk Er twisted her fingers uneasily.
“Why do you want to peek at your master’s letter?” Lin Chengyou asked with great interest, “Did you start to feel scared when you learned that Wu Erniang was plotting to kill your sister?” Yes, although you have long known that your master’s hands and feet are not clean, but she has not murdered her own family before, after this incident, you find that your family owner’s heart and liver have long been rotten, and then when you help them deliver letters, they will look through it beforehand without a trace, the reason why you do this is just that you don’t want to die unclear, a person who can even get his own sister down, it is even more unlikely to be soft on the personal maid.
Jiao’er’s shoulders shook violently, and she trembled and fell to the ground.
“Son-in-law… It’s very scary, but… But not only because of the matter of the eldest bride, but earlier, after learning that the death of Li Ying’er at the Chu Guo Temple was related to them, the slave maid was very afraid. “Li
Ying’er’s death?”
Jiao’er nodded, that time, because of the retirement of Wu Da Niang and Zheng Dagongzi, Wu Qi was sullen all day, Jiao’er originally thought that the second niang was because her sister had been wronged, and only afterwards did she know that the government was discussing letting Wu Da Niang run, and there was no precedent for two sisters to run for the crown princess at the same time, and once Wu Da Niang ran, it would not be Wu Er Niang’s turn.
On a certain day not long before the opening of the academy, Wu Qi suddenly became unusual, did not borrow porridge to send a letter, but disguised herself to find Wang Mi, because the situation was too urgent, and did not wait for Jiao’er to go far and talk to Wang Mi in the door.
“Don’t you want you to take away people’s souls, and why did you cause human lives?”
When Kyauk Er heard this outside the window, she held her breath on the spot.
Wang Mi said: “There was an accident at the time of the incident. There was a well in the temple, and it was said that Li Ying’er would only be unconscious after being stripped of his soul, but on that day, he did not know what was going on, and he walked to the well in confusion and fell down. We didn’t expect this.
Wu Qi: “But I heard that because the girl’s death was not right, Chang’an County sent the corpse to Dali Temple!” They all alarmed the Dali Temple, so they weren’t afraid that they would find out about us? Wang Mi
said: “Dali Temple has long been secretly investigating this matter, why not take the opportunity to make a serial case, the horizontal and vertical top of the sheep has been found, the more sexy to do the whole thing without a trace.” If you are nowIf you don’t do it, this girl will die in vain, don’t you want to be a princess? Why not think about where you are now. Your sister withdrew, Ling Zun had a big fight with the Zheng family for this, and heard that Zheng Niangzi was also running for the crown princess, so Zun Zheng was riveted enough to suppress the Zheng family. Your sister is more talented than you, and according to your grandmother’s love for your sister, the position of this princess will not be your turn-”
Suddenly, as if hearing a slight noise outside, Wang Mi said sharply: “Didn’t you send your son-in-law away?” Raising
his hand, he shot out a silver wire, and the silver wire was as sharp as a knife, and it dangerously rubbed the tip of Jiao’er’s nose, and Jiao’er was startled into a cold sweat and stumbled away.
Although she was not killed by Wang Mi on the spot, Jiao’er knew that sooner or later she would be killed, only because the second lady would not find a trusted maid for a while and leave her for a while.
That night, Kyauk Er had nightmares.
Fear turned to fear, but after all, she only heard a few words during the day, and she didn’t realize that this matter was just the beginning.
It wasn’t until Wu Miao’s accident that she understood what the “serial case” That Wang Mi said that day meant.
If wu zhen is directly assassinated, Dali Temple will soon understand the motives of the murderer, then the focus of the next investigation will also be on the person close to Wu Daniang’ mother, so that the second lady will easily be exposed.
However, if before this case, there was a Li Ying’er who was snatched of his soul, it would be different, Li Ying’er and Wu Jisu did not know each other, and they were murdered in the same way, anyone would think that this was the murderer’s motive was to collect the soul, and Wu Ying’er was only unlucky to be selected by the murderer.
After thinking about the whole thing, the son-in-law was not only afraid, but also very unwilling in his conscience. When the eldest lady was in the house, she was very kind to those of us, and if the maid had reminded the eldest lady earlier, perhaps the eldest lady would not have had such a difficulty. These days, seeing the big lady’s stupid and stupid appearance, the son of a is very uneasy. “If
you had such a conscience, you should have told your family master about this matter a long time ago, so why did you continue to help your family lady harm Du Niangzi?”
“Because—” Jiao’er looked up suddenly, “because the second lady threatened the slave maid, saying that if I told the slave about this matter, Wang Mi would immediately use the same method to mutilate the maid’s grandmother and brother, and said to the maid that in the future she still had many things to take care of with the maid, except for the maid, she could not believe anyone, so last time she knew that the maid was eavesdropping outside, and did not let the queen hurt me half a point.” As long as the maid helps her become a princess, the maid will have countless benefits in the future. Of course, the son-in-law does not want this, but the son-in-law is afraid that his family will be involved.
Lin Chengyou smiled, if you really want to tell the truth, Wang Mi’s side may not be able to get the wind in time. Speaking of which, or the glory and wealth is the most important, the princess is only one step away from the empress, what does that mean, this’s heart is very clear, coupled with Wu Qi’s soft language coaxing, it is inevitable to do some daydreaming, really worthy of being Wu Erniang’s loyal servant, knowing that he has a conscience, and does not forget to use words to whitewash.
“You bloody mouth!” Wu Qi laughed angrily, “Is this how Dali Temple decided the case?” Can crazy talk be used as testimony?
Lin Chengyou waved his head back, and the servants carried the cage next to Wang Mi over.
“Wang Mi was caught by us on the spot this morning, and she was unable to rush back to the room to destroy the evidence, so this search made us find a lot of interesting things.” It was a letter box, a dark compartment hidden in the room, with no one else’s letters, all of your handwritten letters to her.
Lin Chengyou took out a letter box from the cage, took out one of the letters in front of Wu Qi, and then slowly unfolded it.
Wu Qi fixed his eyes on it, and his face changed in an instant.
Lin Chengyou looked at her, “I know that Master JingChen must have taught you some kind of way to make the ink disappear, as long as you do some tricks and feet in the ink, the handwriting on the letter will disappear within half a day, and you are sure that the letter you handed over will not leave a handle, so you have no fear.” But you can’t imagine that although Jing Chenshitai and Wang Mi seduce you and use you, they are also guarding against you. She did something else for your Murray, only to hide for a moment, and it will reappear in a day, all of which is to leave deadly evidence for threatening you in the future. The handwriting on this is clear, and when you check it, you will know that you wrote it yourself. “Can’t
the handwriting be forged?” Wu Qi gritted his teeth and said, “That person bribed Jiao’er, and he could easily forge my handwriting——”
Lin Chengyou: “Good hard mouth, fortunately, Wang Mi is smarter than I thought, she also knows what kind of person you are, and knows that once the incident occurs, you are bound to get rid of it all, so once she gave you a piece of chamois cloth, on the pretext of taking the soul, let you draw the birthmark on Sister A’s body and the moles everywhere on that piece of chamois cloth.” There is a black mole the size of a green bean in the seam of your sister’s toe, which is not only unknown to your sister, but also the big man next to your sister, but you asked from your sister’s mouth, and then you dipped in that special ink and drew in detail on the cloth the shape and location of the eleven large and small birthmarks and moles on your sister’s body, including the one with the toe slit. These
words were like a boulder, which suddenly stirred up an uproar, and the handwriting could be imitated, but only the closest people could know these secrets on the other party.
Dean Liu seemed to be shaken, and his face was full of shock.
“As everyone knows, the article was already made on that piece of chamois cloth, and when you drew your sister’s birthmark, you left a lot of palm prints on the cloth, which could not be seen at the time, and then it would appear one by one.” Whether you drew it yourself or not, just compare the palm prints.
Wu Qi looked at the chamois cloth sadly.
Lin Chengyou sneered, “Can’t imagine? In order to deal with you, the Quiet Dust Master let his men leave a hand too early. In fact, this is not surprising, from the moment you decide to deal with the ‘evil demon’, you should be prepared to be asked for remuneration by the ‘demon’. They worked hard to help you become a princess in order to get benefits from it, not to be bitten back by you in the future, and only by taking out ironclad evidence that you could not deny could they hold your Wu Erniang to death in their hands. If you do everything in your power, you will not be able to count the devil after all. Saying
that, he took the chamois cloth and began to compare the palm prints of Wu Qi one by one.
Wu Qi’s face changed several times, and he suddenly stopped drinking: “Don’t come here!”
“If you still refuse to admit it, there is more evidence here, do you need me to show it one by one?”
The banquet was silent, everyone looked at Wu Qi with bated breath, compared to the shocked eyes of Vice President Liu and others, the eyes of the fellow windows were more complicated, there was disgust, there was shock, and more was regret.
Wu Qi’s chest rose and fell violently, and he lowered his eyes in annoyance: “There is no need for this.” I admit it, I did it. Before the
words fell, a jade-faced prince suddenly came out from behind the pavilion on the west side, I don’t know if it was extremely sad, or disappointed to the point of sadness, originally it was a very decent appearance, but at the moment it was like being punched hard, with a toe on his feet, his face was miserable, and he had to get close to the front, but he forgot to bow down with the emperor.
It was Wu Yuanluo, he had already come, but he always believed that it was just a misunderstanding, until he heard Wu Qi confess his guilt.
“What do you do?” Wu Yuanluo stared at Wu Qi deadly, “Why?! The eldest lady is your own sister! “Why
?” Wu Qi suddenly raised his voice, “It’s not forced by you!” Do you know why I ran to the Yuzhen Female Crown Temple when I was ten years old to make a wish for incense? Because you all have a grudge against your sister, I wish you would like me a little more, and not only your sister in your eyes. If not, how could Master Jing Dust use this to lure me down a crooked path?!
Wu Yuanluo seemed to be choked in the throat and suddenly muted.
“How eccentric are you and your grandmother, don’t you count in your own hearts?” Wu Qi sneered, “I said that I would run for the crown princess, and as a result, as soon as Sister Ah was dismissed,You are about to choose a better family affair for her, Grandpa said that my appearance and learning are not as good as Sister A, directly to the imperial front to ask sister to change the candidacy! Do you know how many years I have been preparing for this moment? If you don’t ask me, you ruin it all. You have no shame in this, and even Sister Ah feels that she should take it for granted. What the hell am I in this home? Do you have a heart and liver?
“But you never said you wanted to run for crown princess.” Wu Yuanluo’s voice seemed to have been polished by sandpaper, “You have said more than once that you want to pick your own husband, when Grandpa said that he wanted you to run for election, I only did not want you to, I have strongly opposed it.” “That’s
not because I’m used to hiding my true thoughts.” Wu Qi’s eyes were full of sarcasm, “When Grandpa was still serving as a little waiter in the bureaucracy, Zheng Shuhui was already an important official in the DPRK, he appreciated Grandpa’s talent, and intended to marry the Wu family, the Zheng family was one of the most famous people in Chang’an, and there were not many officials who wanted to marry the Zheng family.” My sister and I are obviously only one year apart, but my grandfather doesn’t want my sister to marry. Even if Sister Ah and Zheng Dalang have been in conflict for the first few years, even if they can only wait until this year to officially make a relationship, Grandpa is not spared. From that moment on, I understood that the best things had to be left to the eldest daughter who loved me the most, and my second daughter could only pick up what my sister had left.
She laughed in disgust.
“And you—” Wu Qi gritted her teeth, “you remember all of Sister A’s preferences, even when you helped her buy candy people, you didn’t forget to dip the flax, as for my second sister, when did you ever pay attention to it?” That year I was lost in the labyrinth of the Yuzhen Female Crown Temple, the master was too temporary to go out, there were only a few female crowns who did not understand the organs in the temple, they were afraid that I would have an accident, and hurried to the martial family to deliver the letter, I only hoped that Brother Ah you would come to save me quickly, because there was no mystery that Brother Ah could not break, the sky was getting darker, I was very scared, but I could not wait for my brother, and in the end, it was the prince who passed by and heard that someone in the temple was trapped and led me out.
Speaking of this, Wu Qi couldn’t help but look at the prince on the table, the prince was a little surprised, but also a little confused, obviously this experience in the early years had long been forgotten by him.
Although Wu Qi’s gaze only stayed on the prince for a moment, it faintly burst out a soft complex emotion.
Teng Yuyi looked at Wu Qi coldly, and his heart gradually seemed to freeze.
I see.
She had speculated countless times about the motives of the Black Dragon people in her previous life for murdering her, and although she had recently finally guessed that it was because the prince wanted to marry her, she did not expect that there were other complicated feelings mixed in.
Obviously, the reason why Wu Qi regarded marrying the prince as an obsession, in addition to overcoming his own sister, there was also a desire for exclusivity.
I remember that in a previous life, when she and Deng Wu were ordered to go to the Daming Palace for a visit, the empress only rewarded Deng Weili and Wu Qi with eight silks each, but she was rewarded with karma incense, known as the “Crown of Hundred Medicines”.
Wu Qi’s intention to kill her must have been buried at that moment. After that, the prince not only frequently inquired about her recent situation, but also claimed that she would marry her after she was filial, and these news reached Wu Qi’s ears, and the murderous intention buried in his heart brewed into a real action.
Remembering that there were no such big demons in his previous life, Xiao Ya once said that this may be related to the disaster caused by changing his life against the sky, at that time, Shi Tai had not yet been exposed, and Wu Qi had already colluded with Shi Tai, so it was very likely that the Black Qi people that night were sent by Wu Qi to let Shi Tai come.
Each of them was pregnant with a ghost child, but their purpose was obviously the same: to help Wu Qi become a princess.
As for Deng Weili, Grandpa had said that the saint intended to raise up the courtiers who supported Pingfan, but Deng Shizhong strongly opposed the saint Pingfan, and in order to suppress the forces opposing Pingfan in the DPRK, Deng Weili’s hope of choosing a princess was very slim.
This meant that as long as she was removed, the only remaining candidates for the crown princess would be Wu Qi.
So they had a clear goal, and as soon as they entered the house, they set out to kill her.
Whether in a past life or in this life, this Wu Qi was extremely vicious.
Killed her in a past life, murdered her own sister in this life.
Teng Yuyi subconsciously clenched her palms, she hated, she was eager to tear the devil in front of her into pieces.
She was sad, sad that she had died at the hands of such a person. In the past life, she was just an orphan girl, Ah Niang died early, and Ah Ye also left, because of such a conspiracy, even the qualification to live alone was deprived.
Wu Yuanluo obviously understood the emotion in his sister’s eyes and gritted his teeth, “Why didn’t you tell Brother Ah earlier?!” “You’ll
help me when I say it?” Wu Qi sneered, “No, you will still give the best to Sister Ah.” No one in this world can help me, I can only rely on myself!
Lin Chengyou snorted coldly: “So everything that may hinder you from becoming a princess, you have to eliminate them one by one in advance?” So you murdered your sister, framed Lady Deng, plotted against Lady Du, and even calculated Lady Teng on Mount Li?
Speaking of this, he subconsciously looked at Teng Yuyi, and unexpectedly found that she was looking at Wu Qi with hatred, this hatred was so deep, as if the enemy who had been looking for many years had accidentally appeared in front of him, but there was also some sadness, like an unquenchable melancholy in his heart, Lin Chengyou froze, such a strong emotion, not only because Sister Ah was almost secretly calculated by the person in front of him——
