Chapter 228 Dirty Night Rain, Sleepy
A long talk with Dou Haowei made Zeng Yanliang finally understand the cause and effect of the whole thing and the people involved. Zeng Yanliang sat in front of the bed and looked at Leng Xuanrong and began to sort out his thoughts in his mind. He wanted to find the person who poisoned Leng Xuanrong as soon as possible, but he also knew that Dou Haowei's words were right. At this critical moment, he should not act without authorization, let alone he did not understand the situation in the imperial city at all.
Before that, Zeng Yanliang followed Wang Jiawei's acquaintances in the imperial city for a whole day. Although he just looked around, Zeng Yanliang was also able to understand that the method of doing things in the imperial city must be different from his previous methods.
The more you think about this, the more irritable Zeng Yan will be in her conscience. He held Leng Xuanrong's cold hand and whispered, "There must be a way... Xuanrong, Brother Yan Liang must find a way to poison you..."
As time went by, ideas emerged in Zeng Yanliang's mind, but they were rejected by himself one by one. He wants to find a foolproof and safe way, but the so-called foolproof is almost impossible.
In the end, Zeng Yanliang gave up the idea of going out to do this. Since he doesn't know how to do things in the imperial city and the imperial city, he might as well find someone else to discuss it.
Thinking of this, Zeng Yanliang stood up and stepped out to go out, but as soon as he took two steps, he couldn't help looking back at Leng Xuanrong. Zeng Yanliang came back and sorted out the very flat quilt that had been made by him, and then turned around and left the room.
On the round table not far away, only half of the candles were burning quietly in the bronze candlestick. The candlelight spread and gradually became dim, and most of the room was still immersed in darkness. The cold light outside the window seemed to be covered by the thick window paper. There was no moonlight tonight, and the warm night wind brushed the treetops and leaves, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Every time before it rains, there will always be a period of stuffy times. Summer is good and bad for humble people. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about thin clothes and shivering every day. As for the disadvantages... In addition to the sultry heat before the rain, there are also food that is easy to rot is also a big question. Question. Almost all the leftovers you eat every day. If the weather is cooler, even the leftovers will be fine, but in this sultry time, most of the leftovers are gone and broken. However, you should try to eat such things as much as possible, otherwise there is only one way to starve to death.
If you can simply starve to death, it would be a blessing, but it's really uncomfortable to be beaten and scolded to work until you are half-dead.
But even if you eat something, you may still feel uncomfortable after all. For example, if you eat that bad meal, your stomach will also feel uncomfortable. No matter what, it will be uncomfortable. This is the life of a humble person.
Leng Xuanrong subconsciously wanted to curl up, but with a slight movement, her body hurt as if she had been cut by a knife.
During the day, when I did needlework, because I couldn't hold the embroidery needle in my hand, I sewed a piece of plain cloth carefully selected by Miss He. Miss He lost her temper, so she was severely beaten with a wicker.
Although there are many grievances in my heart when I was beaten, I think about it carefully, maybe this matter is really my fault. After all, the lady's thing was sewn, and that thing was used when the young lady got married... Miss He regarded her marriage with the eldest son more than anything else, and it was no wonder that she was soussy. Unfortunately, after entering the Prime Minister's mansion for so long, not only did the eldest son not come to see her several times, but also the rest of the Prime Minister's mansion seemed to stay away from Miss He. Needless to say, Master An didn't expect that even his wife and aunts in the back house did not come to see Miss He. The gossip I heard these days is probably true. The people in the Prime Minister's mansion are much more rigorous than the people in the county governor's mansion in Wuming County.
Although they still live with the dowry of the county magistrate, it is said that these people will also be redistributed after Miss He gets married. Maybe I can be divided into other people's hands, and maybe life will be better at that time...
Leng Xuanrong took a breath with her eyes closed, but after exhaling this breath, her body seemed to be even more uncomfortable.
Don't get sick. Leng Xuanrong thought to herself that once a person like her gets sick, it must be a dead end. The stomach is very uncomfortable and empty. This feeling of burning seems to have not passed for a long time, so it suddenly becomes more uncomfortable. Alas... I can't even complain. In the middle of the night, in case someone wakes up, he may be secretly bullied again. Today, I was beaten and went to dinner late, so they left the leftovers for themselves. If someone could save some food for themselves, it would probably not be so uncomfortable now.
But how can someone help themselves? She is so helpless that she is of no use to others.
At this time, if you can hear the sound of the eldest son's piano, you will probably feel better. The sound of the eldest son's piano is always so beautiful. If you can listen to him play a long and wonderful song in front of him...
"How about playing a song of night for Xuanrong girl?"
In the dark night, that song is like a cold night breeze, like a bright moon in the sky, which really doesn't match the dull night like today...
What's more, when can the eldest son call me "Miss Xuanrong"? I'm just...
A burst of pain surged into my mind, and several pictures flashed quickly from Leng Xuanrong's eyes, as if there was something wrong...
The thunder rumbled, and it seemed that... it was really going to rain...
It has been raining endlessly, and it is even more disturbing to watch such weather. It seems that nothing can be done, and nothing seems to make progress.
It should be the time of three poles in the sun, but the sky is gray, as if the sun has fallen. Everyone looked dead, as if there was no way to solve the current situation at all.
"Lord Wei, please say something!"
The person who said this was Si Hu Qizhang, the chief of torture, who was sitting in the hall with an anxious face. Sitting opposite him was Wei Yulin, the chief of military affairs.
Wei Yulin and Hu Qizhang are about the same age, but he is fat, and his round face looks without any folds. Coupled with a little oil and sweat, he seems to be younger than Hu Qizhang's spirit.
Like Hu Qizhang, Wei Yulin wore official uniforms. After the early morning, the two returned directly to Wei Yulin's house to discuss the matter.
"Lord Hu, this matter is so difficult, you have to let me think about it!" Wei Yulin's face also showed a little anger. He felt that Hu Qizhang would never dare to talk to himself in the tone just now.
Since Wei Yulin's daughter was awarded the title of Empress Yan Ling by the emperor, the attitude of the courtiers towards Wei Yulin has also changed a lot. This is actually obvious. Although the emperor has no real power in his hands now, it is also the emperor after all. The young emperor has not been canonized as the queen, so the most favored Empress Yanling is likely to climb all the way and become the mother of a country. What's more, Wei Yulin still has a chance to become the eldest prince's grandfather. For this, regardless of his wife and concubine, Wei Yulin's family will run to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, begging to send her son Guanyin to conceive the dragon seed as soon as possible.
At such a good time, I didn't expect such a disaster to fall from the sky.
He holds a Guidelou in his hand, which can be said to be a hen that lays golden eggs. Usually, Wei Yulin also attaches great importance to that place. The shopkeeper of Guidelou is a confidant cultivated by Wei Yulin for many years, and his work is also very trustworthy. But under this person's eyes, the guests invited by An's parents were actually poisoned. And this guest was not only involved in the Dou family of the imperial palace, but also involved in King Xiaohan, but also the daughter of the escaped official Leng Chengqi!
How can things be so coincidental!
After learning the news, Wei Yulin asked someone to check the details of Leng Xuanrong overnight. As soon as it came out, Wei Yulin was dumbfounded.
It is no secret that Leng Xuanrong was ordered by King Xiaohan to run the Raven Green Ink Pavilion as the young master of the Dou family in Wuming County. Wei Yulin really didn't expect the relationship between such a little girl and the two. In fact, Wei Yulin understands that there can really be all kinds of complicated and confusing relationships between a young girl and two vigorous young people!
What should I do if there is such a thing? Wei Yulin stabilized his mind, turned his head and looked at Hu Qizhang, and asked, "Lord Hu came to me specially today. Is there any way?"
"No! There is nothing I can do!" Hu Qizhang said everything. What he, the criminal department, originally did was to offend people. He knew that if he wanted to finish the matter in the end, he could not mind being offended on the way.
Wei Yulin knew how many means Hu Qizhang, an old slipper, could only suppress his anger. In fact, he had to ask the old slipper to stand on his side.
"Since the matter happened in my Guide Building, I can't shirk my responsibility... Alas... Lord Hu, what do you think of this? You have also arrested all the relevant people in the Guide Building. I will do other things in person.
Hearing this, Hu Qizhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "In this case, Lord Wei still insists on not letting me handle this case?"
"How can Lord Hu say that!" Wei Yulin squeaked his lips, with an impatient look on his face.
Wei Yulin understands the meaning of Hu Qizhang, and Wei Yulin understands the meaning of Wei Yulin. There are many officials and nobles in the Guide Building, and many unknown secrets were born there. Nine out of ten people working there know something that should not be known, but now they are protected by Wei Yulin, so nothing can happen. But in case Hu Qizhang's arrest of the case spread, Wei Yulin is afraid that even if he can't find anything, he will be in disaster.
