Chapter 285: The Daughter of a Sinner 32
The master's father, what happened to Gu Tingrui? Hienin's eyebrows jumped.
Xu Mian roughly described what happened in the morning.
The emperor rose up last night, and when he was visiting the back garden, he bumped into the prince and Feng Cairen having a private meeting. In a fit of rage, he killed Feng Cairen and imprisoned the prince in the Zongren Mansion.
This morning, the court wanted to abolish the crown prince for this reason, and a cadre of ministers naturally questioned it, and it was possible that the prince was framed. But Feng Cairen was dead, and the emperor angrily killed Feng Cairen and the palace people around the prince, and it became a headless case.
Gu Tingrui is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Gu in the end, and at the critical moment, Geng was once again in a fearless state, and he was about to hit the dragon pillar in the main hall.
Fortunately, the emperor had already taken precautions and asked someone to stop him. But he angered Tianwei and punished him with eighty court rods.
The emperor ordered, the celebrant sealed the eunuch's seal, and the criminal department reviewed it. Gu Tingrui was pulled out of the noon gate, stripped off his pants, and beaten eighty strokes!
Xu Mian comforted: "Don't worry, I have been sent back to the house now, I have sent the best gold sore medicine, and the emperor has also called the imperial doctor to go over for treatment." ”
Xining listened stunned, and after thinking about it, she laughed out loud.
Xu Mian looked at her: "Not in a hurry? ”
"No hurry!" She shook her head first, and then smiled: "The captain of the Jinyi Guard must not dare to be heavy-handed, and the emperor is just going to show humiliation." Now my father should only open his skin and flesh, and not hurt his muscles and bones. ”
The corners of Xu Mian's mouth were slightly hooked, and he was really an understanding person.
If the eunuch's feet are spread outward, the tortured person can still leave a life; If the eunuch's toes are close together, the person being tortured will be killed by the rod.
Those who executed were all veterans, and even if it was a hundred strokes, it would be a broken skin. If you look at it as if you are beating to the death, you will basically be seriously injured with three sticks, lose your breath with twenty or thirty sticks, and die cold after beating with eighty sticks.
The emperor was angry, but he didn't want Gu Tingrui's life, after all, the old lady Gu touched the pillar for him twenty years ago, and now his son wants to touch the pillar and die, so he has to save some face. If you are killed or hit a pillar, you have to be recorded. I don't want Qingshi to leave the infamy of a faint monarch, and Gu Tingrui can't die.
Gu Tingrui is just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and those unwanted officials haven't moved yet.
Xining tried to hold back a smile, otherwise her father would be unlucky, how could she be so happy as a daughter: "My father is pedantic, for the country and the people, and he was beaten for the sake of the country." There is also the emperor's concern, the imperial doctor was invited, and the gold sore medicine of the foreign family is not allowed to lie on the bed and be happy! ”
The beaten minister enjoys a very high reputation in the temple, and he is a loyal minister who is a dead admonition, and he must be loyal to him when he is beaten by the dragon stick.
Xining took a reading book and shook it as a fan: "You will be cured after a few months in bed, so it's okay, this reason can make my father have a good rest, think about it behind closed doors, and don't dislike the emperor again." I guess adults want that to be the same......"
Looking at Xining talking and looking over, Xu Mian understood what he meant.
The emperor has a strange temper at the moment, so it's better to hide. During this time, you can also give it a go. The first emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince and died in less than a year, although it may be caused by the poison of Jindan, but who can know what happened in the palace?
Xu Mian let out a long breath.
Xining asked tentatively, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”
Xu Mian was silent for a while and responded: "Live well and stay with me." ”
It seems that she doesn't want to take risks, and there are some things that she can't help with. At present, the emperor has no time to want to kill her, and the emperor wants to kill the prince even more. His son cuckolded himself, not much better than when he was framed for rebellion before.
Xining asked curiously: "My lord thinks that the prince is really lustful-he wants to be consumed, and he has forgotten the number of proportions and etiquette?" ”
Xu Mian suddenly smiled at her, Xining was stunned for a while, this cold face was quite beautiful when she smiled.
Xu Mian stretched out his hand, took her hand, and said with a smile: "I just check, and the results of the investigation are given to the emperor, and what the emperor says is what it is." Rest well and wait for me to come back in the evening for dinner. ”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Xining sat there stunned for a while, in fact, Xu Mian is really good, think about it. If she could swap places and let her stay in this world, she would be very happy to marry Xu Mian.
Mo Ming: "I also feel good, and if he can replace you, I'm very happy." ”
Xining: "Is it possible?" ”
Mo Ming: "Impossible, so don't dream!" ”
Well, let's continue the mission obediently.
In the case of the prince's back garden private meeting with the concubine, if Xu Mian can find out the result, the emperor should let her go, and the task will be completed.
Xiaohong walked in: "Does Miss need to take a nap?" ”
Xining shook her head: "No. "Now that I sleep, I can't sleep at night.
"Then the slave will continue what she said yesterday." After Xiaohong got the agreement, she stood at the table and talked about the fifth return.
Xu Mian took Jinyiwei into the palace and began to investigate the case. The means are actually average, Feng Cai's family has no power and power, and he has not been favored after entering the palace for two years. The perpetrator took advantage of this to make the emperor angry and give all of them death, so that no one could check the case.
Zhang Zhong muttered beside him: "How can I check this?" "Everyone was killed.
Xu Mian stood at the place of the private meeting and picked up a golden step.
The eunuch in charge next to him replied, "This is Feng Cairen." ”
"How did you fall off?" Xu Mian asked, looking carefully.
The eunuch in charge looked to the side, and the little eunuch next to him immediately replied: "This slave recognizes that Feng Cairen was rewarded when he first entered the palace and was named a talented person, and he may have fallen when he was kidnapped last night." ”
The eunuch in charge smiled: "Everything here is sealed, just to prevent someone from shouting injustice." ”
Xu Mian nodded and looked around: "But everything, there will be clues." Zhang Zhong, draw all the footprints here. ”
In the past few days, the weather has been hot and dry, and the palace has swept water everywhere to drive away the heat. There are some footprints of different shades on the dirt floor here.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Zhong beckoned to his subordinates and began to reverse the footprints, draw the outlines with white powder, and mark them on paper.
"Since that's all there is to it, let's go to the Zongren Mansion to see the prince. Here's where everything comes first. After Xu Mian watched from the side, he took people to the Zongren Mansion.
