Chapter 75 [Surprisingly suspicious]
Chapter 75 [Amazing Doubt]
Trying to adjust her breath, there was a feeling of prompting in her body. After taking a breath, she began to speed up her pace. She wanted to see Grandma Xiang as soon as possible. There seems to be a steady stream of oppression in her body, which makes her arm not very useful. She can only rely on her own consciousness to control it. It seems that she can't get rid of it. What's going on?
In the cell, Xiang's mother-in-law hugged Ru Mo tightly and was very excited. Then she took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Ru Mo, and knelt in front of her solemnly and said, "It's up to you whether the lives of my twelve people in my family can be wronged. It's up to you. My mother-in-law has already seen that you are not an ordinary person. You must You can help your mother-in-law, right?"
Ru Mo picked up Xiang's mother-in-law, and her thoughts were still in chaos. She asked shallowly, "How can I help my mother-in-law?"
Grandma Xiang stared at Rumo quietly with her rare gentle eyes and opened her lips, but her tone was still cold. "Woman, my mother-in-law has a pill here, which is developed with five poisons and broken soul powder. You dissolve it in a teacup and give it to the little marquis..."
"No, it's going to matter. Even if Brother Shen makes a mistake, he can't kill him like this." Rumo was really shocked by Xiang's mother-in-law. If this old woman became sinister, she would be a hundred times more powerful than Shen Yue.
The fragrant mother-in-law smiled, shook her head helplessly and sighed, "What's the matter, the little girl is moved? Think about it, that Shen Yue is extraordinary, handsome and talented, and everyone will be moved. "Brother Shen" is really affectionate.
"No, Grandma Xiang, you misunderstood. The person I like is not Shen Yue. It's just that since I came into contact these days, I have found that Brother Shen is not like a man of human life. There must be some misunderstanding in it. I'll find out..." Ru Mo wiped the blood on the corners of Xiang's mother-in-law's mouth and persuaded her emotionally.
"Enough." Grandma Xiang drank Rumo and said with an angry face, "Woman, you are going to force your mother-in-law to a dead end, and at the same time, you are also forcing yourself to a dead end... Try swallowing saliva. Don't you feel a burning sensation in your stomach?"
Rumo's mind was blank in an instant. With the moment when a saliva slipped into her throat, she only felt that the internal organs were gradually burning, and it became difficult to breathe. There was a random impact of qi and blood in her body, which made her bow her head and couldn't help moaning.
"Wo girl, would you be weird? Do you see the purple blood vessel on your arm? It will continue to grow and spread. Although it can only appear on your wrist line now, it will not be long before it will crawl to the aorta in the center of your arm. If you don't stop it in time, the consequences will be unimaginable and can endanger your life at any time!" Grandma Xiang looked up, fed Rumo a relief pill, and scolded her harshly, "The mother-in-law had expected that one day you would not listen to her mother-in-law, so when she was helping you cure the poison, she buried a 'law vein vine' in your veins. Did your mother-in-law tell you? People who know how to develop incense are generally masters of poison.
Ru Mo rolled up her sleeves in pain and immediately saw a few purple lines looming on her wrist line. She said blankly in her eyes, "Do you know the imperial concubine in the palace? I found out that you really have a fight with her. Ha ha, Brother Shen is right. I was blinded by my mother-in-law's words because I was thinking about my mother-in-law's life-saving kindness. In fact, the stupidest person is still me, but it doesn't matter. If I die, I will die. Even if I die, I have to figure out what's going on. You are all innocent, right?
Grandma Xiang's eyes doubted, like a prophecy; "I'm innocent, I know it, girl, I won't give you a chance to find out from my mother-in-law. I can't wait. I've been waiting for those years. It's time to meet my husband... "
"Mother-in-law, don't..." Ru Mo couldn't stop the poison swallowed by Xiang's mother-in-law. Xiang's mother-in-law finally looked directly at Ru Mo with cold eyes and made the last almost ferocious voice, "Wan, your poison, Xiang's mother-in-law can't solve it. If you want to settle accounts with your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law is waiting for you at any time under the ground!"
In the dark cell, Ru Mo was staring at Xiang's mother-in-law's body in a daze. Only then did she know that Shen Yue approached her and "brushed" twice, and a rope wrapped around her waist. She lifted the rope and pulled it again. She was still relatively relaxed. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
"Girl, when you come to visit the prison, you will kill my important person. Do you think I should shut you off?" Shen Yue's expression was cold and light.
"Did I die?" Ru Mo turned her head and stared at Shen Yue angrily. "Grandma Xiang died by taking poison herself. If the poison was not swallowed by Grandma Xiang, then it is likely that you are dying now?"
"Granny Xiang won't do a loss-making business..." Shen Yue's eyes glanced at Ru Mo, and there was a trace of melancholy in his shrewdness, "Do you know how my father died?"
"How did you die?" Ru Mo was surprised, "Didn't he die of old age and illness?"
Shen Yue suddenly smiled sadly, "He died to save the Shen family..."
"Why did the old marquis protect the Shen clan? Who dares to kill you?" Ru Mo was a little confused and couldn't help asking puzzledly.
Shen Yue smiled sadly and pondered for a long time before saying, "The reason why my Shen family can stand in this Jianchang City is that it comes from a shop, which is the 'tangling incense building' opened by Xiang's mother-in-law. At the peak of the Tangxiang Building, there was a continuous flow of customers and a lot of money every day. As the store grew, it began to promote the supply of goods unscrupulously, and soon the goods spread to the capital and even the palace. Everyone knows that our little emperor likes incense, and the Tangxiang Building sends a batch of incense to the palace every three months for our emperor to develop and play. With the increasing demand in the palace, the supply of the incense building alone is far from enough, so the incense building began to monopolize the shops that buy and sell incense, which has a unique momentum. At this time, my father, who is also the old marquis, found out the incense sold in the incense building. It is not only their ancestral good unique spices, but also some strange spices, which contain slight toxins. My father was afraid that the incense with toxins would be sent into the palace. The consequences were unimaginable. He contacted several ministers in the capital overnight and began to make a joint memorial to the emperor, but unfortunately the memorial was deducted.
"Why was the memorial deducted? Who has that much courage?" Ru Mo was shocked. She didn't expect that Shen Yue had such an unspeakable story. The little marquis of Jianchang, who had always been gentle, had also stayed on the blade?
Shen Yue sighed and continued, "Who dares to be so bold? The emperor was high, and except for those ministers, of course, there were only those who were not men and women who surged under his eyes. Such a large amount of incense was sent to the palace. It is only for the emperor and the concubines' daily use. How can they be used? That's exactly what happened to be the opportunity for those eunuchs to get money. They took out the incense outside the palace, found a shop to sell, exchanged a lot of silver, and put it into their own pockets.
"So are those eunuchs headed by the eunuch?" Ru Mo frowned and looked angry.
"Uh-huh!" Shen Yue nodded and said, "But after a long time, there is no impenetrable wall, and the emperor does not always close his eyes. Later, when the emperor figured out one or two of them, he not only did not stop it, but became more and more intense. The battle ahead requires food and salary, and the expansion of the city also requires a large amount of construction silver. In addition, there is also a new dynasty uniform for the ministers, and the rouge gouache of the women in the harem, which requires money. The money in the treasury is getting less and less, so..."
"So the money for buying and selling poison incense has been charged to the treasury and ran into the emperor's pocket?" Ru Mo wanted to tighten her lips and asked with a lingering heart.
Shen Yue calmed down at this moment and said lightly, "Private trade is a death penalty. It should never be used to recharge the treasury with the money of buying and selling poisonous incense, but since he has done it, no one dares to say that today's emperor knows the law and violates the law, right? So we must find a scapegoat. What's the matter? Unfortunately, this scapegoat is my father 'Jianchanghou'.
"In order to protect the title of the Shen family and the marquis, the old marquis pleaded guilty?" Ru Mo was really shocked. She didn't expect that there was such an entanglement between the marquis of Jianchang and the palace, which was too tortuous.
Shen Yue cleared his throat, "It's not just to keep the title of the Shen family and the marquis. My father is more for the soldiers in front of him."
"The warrior in front of you?" Ru Mo rolled her eyes and felt a little puzzled. What does the warrior in front of him have to do with incense?
Shen Yue smiled bitterly, "My father's greatest wish is that he can't fight on the battlefield, so he wants me to always care about the war ahead. Now there are Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei and Xiao Baorong of Nankang, which can be said to be internal and external troubles. They are always ready to attack together. Therefore, as ministers, what we can do is to share the worries of the court and ensure that the treasury is sufficient, so as to supply the front army's rates.
"Knowing the law and breaking the law... Brother Shen... Are you letting Qin Xiangzhai take the old way of the Xianglou? What's the difference between you and Grandma Xiang?" Ru Mo looked at it for a moment and widened her eyes in surprise.
Shen Yue shook his head and smiled, "Sister, you have raised your Brother Shen. I don't have the second son of Grandma Xiang. Even if she dies, she will pull a car cushion. That shrewd old woman dies and doesn't forget to count..."
"I don't understand what you're saying, Brother Shen. Do you think Grandma Xiang is calculating?" Ru Mo looked stunned. If Grandma Xiang tricked people, wouldn't she trick her? Oh, it won't be long!
Shen Yue looked at the iron pillar of the cell and pointed casually, "Do you see the jailers guarding the cell? They will be executed immediately."
"Why?" Ru Mo couldn't help but be shocked. They really took human life as a joke. Even if he was a humble jailer, he had a family, a wife and children. How could he be executed casually? Besides, what crime did they commit?
"Dang sister, do you really think that Grandma Xiang looks down on everything and dies in fear of sin? Ha ha, the old lady did it on purpose, because only when the famous fragrant mother-in-law died tragically in prison can it cause shock. If this matter is spread out, the lives of the twelve people in her family will be dug out again. In short, I will show my loyalty to the court, avoid a salary, and in other words, it will kill me. Shen Yue said as he thought about it.
Ru Mo smiled dryly unexpectedly, "Ha ha, Brother Shen, no, who dares to meddle in other people's business so fast? Don't worry, no one dares to say it, and I don't have that spare time."
"There is no impermeable wall in the world. If you don't say it, I won't say it. Naturally, some people want to say that even if I pardon these jailers today, they will not live. Naturally, someone will kill them. Today's conversation between you and me is important, and it is also a taboo of the imperial court. We must not spread out. The only way is to make those jailers become mute or die more completely, right?" Shen Yue leaned slightly and looked at Ru Mo.
Ru Mo looked at herself tremblingly in her heart, and the rope was added to her body. I'm afraid it was she who wanted to kill first, right?" That... Brother Shen... This is what Xiang's mother-in-law did more thoroughly... You don't have to kill me... Because I'm not long gone!"
