Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 40 The Death of Zhou Yingyu

When the news of Yunxi's rescue reached Zhou Yingyu, she was so startled that she dropped the bowl in her hand and became restless.Another three days passed, and seeing that no one had found her, she was relieved a lot.

Xue Rui has been watching all this calmly.Since Xue Zhilan's death, Zhou Yingyu has held him in her hands, and he also knows that Zhou Yingyu regards herself as a life-saving straw, but he is unwilling.

Seeing Zhou Yingyu committing suicide by using the gold she had accumulated over the years to buy and murder the Princess Jiahui, he did not stop him.

Now Princess Jiahui has been rescued, and what awaits her is even more violent revenge from Jingbianhou.He believed that with Jing Bianhou's ability, it would be a matter of time to find Zhou Yingyu's place, but he kept watching with cold eyes, seeing the panicked Zhou Yingyu every day, and he felt bursts of pleasure in his heart.

Jing Bianhou went back to the mansion as usual, when he was hit by a little eunuch just as he left the palace gate, the little eunuch panicked and kowtowed to beg for mercy.Jingbianhou felt that there was something extra in his arms, so he let the little eunuch go quietly.After returning to the mansion, he went straight to the study and took out the things in his arms.

A very delicate square box with many patterns he didn't recognize on it. When he opened the box, there was a token with the word Xue written on it, and there was a letter inside. When he opened it, there was a letter asking for murder. Letter, Mrs. Xue killed Yunxi with 3 taels of gold.

Jing Bianhou thought about it for a while, it should be sent by Xiao Muyun, the thing sent at the gate of the palace, could it be that he is going to take this thing to the palace to report to the emperor, he thought for a while, this Xiao Muyun is not simple, such things can be obtained intact, he should have a second hand, after thinking about it, he went to the palace.

When he walked to the door of the imperial study, he hadn't figured out how to tell the emperor about the origin of this thing. He thought about several excuses, but he was not satisfied.

Just as he was still hesitating, the emperor hurriedly called him in.

Seeing Marquis Jingbian coming in, the emperor's ugly expression relaxed a little, and he said: "Aiqing came just in time, take a look at this memorial."

Jingbianhou picked up the memorial on the ground and opened it, and it turned out that it was a memorial from Huzhou.

The magistrate of Huzhou discovered a killer organization specialized in assassinating officials. The local garrison sent troops to encircle and destroy their lair, and found evidence that some officials paid for murder. The local officials were afraid of taking responsibility, so they sent people to the capital overnight. Has been hunted down.

The messenger happened to meet Vice General Guo of Jingbian Hou's mansion on the way, and asked him to bring things to Jingbian Hou. The man only brought a memorial to Beijing.

At this moment, Marquis Jingbian knew Xiao Muyun's plan, and he didn't dare to say more, he quickly took out the box from his arms and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the small box, saw the pattern on it, his eyes suddenly sharpened, looked at Jing Bianhou and said: "Is this the box?"

Jing Bianhou nodded hurriedly.

At this time, the emperor's tone changed, and he said lightly: "Do you know what is painted on this box?"

Jing Bianhou glanced at the box again and shook his head blankly. Seeing Jing Bianhou's expression that did not seem to be fake, the emperor dispelled his doubts.

"Come on, tell me that Deputy General Guo next to Jingbianhou will see me!" Jingbianhou was startled, and scolded Xiao Muyun bloody.

The emperor opened the box to look at the contents, narrowed his eyes, and didn't say much.Hou Jingbian was guilty and didn't dare to say more, just stood there.

A quarter of an hour later, Deputy Guo came, "Where did you meet the Huzhou messenger?"

Deputy General Guo hurriedly said: "At the foot of Daqing Mountain, Lord Hou ordered us to go there to check for a group of bandits. I waited there for more than half a month until I met the messenger from Huzhou who was hunted down. I originally planned to send him to Beijing, but he said that the matter was urgent, and the purpose of bringing him was too obvious, so he insisted on refusing, so he gave me a box and told me to send it to Jingbianhou and forward it to the emperor. I had to send I sent five brothers to protect him, and I took another slightly longer road back to Beijing."

The emperor was relieved when he saw that he said that the score was not bad, and let him back down.

The pattern on the box is a special pattern for the royal family of the previous dynasty. The emperor only saw it in the library when he was a child. Fu said that where this pattern appears, there must be people from the former royal family. This is their belief, and they firmly believe that it is specially given to them by God.

When he was young, he thought it was very interesting, so he looked at it a few more times, and wrote it down. Unexpectedly, after many years, this pattern appeared again, and it was still related to the left minister of the dynasty. The Marquis of Jingbian probably didn't know him. He Wenzhong, the magistrate of Huzhou He was his companion when he was young, so he should have seen it.

If the queen mother hadn't insisted on letting him go to that remote place back then, she would be able to help him a lot now.

Jing Bianhou looked at the emperor who looked much better, and he was relieved, this test was finally passed.

The two chatted for a while about the content of the letter, and studied how to deal with Xue Qing.

What they didn't know was that when the two were still discussing whether to go directly to the door or Xuan went into the palace to arrest people, a young eunuch sneaked out.

In Shoukang Palace, an old nun whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear.The queen mother slammed the cup in her hand, her eyes became vicious, she thought for a while, whispered a few words in the old mother's ear, and then walked to the Buddhist hall.

In Zuo Xiang's mansion, Xue Qing received the news from the palace, his expression was inexplicable.He stepped up and walked to Zhou Yingyu's yard.

Zhou Yingyu shuddered when she saw Xue Qing coming, and said, "Master, what's the matter here?".

Xue Qing ignored him, waved his hand, and two people came out from behind, holding a rope and walking towards Zhou Yingyu, "Don't, don't," Zhou Yingyu backed away in panic.

The two men quickly tied the rope around Zhou Yingyu's neck. Zhou Yingyu struggled desperately, trying to grab Xue Qing with both hands, wanting Xue Qing to save his life. Xue Qing took a step back and said coldly: "Only you Only when I die can I be at peace!" Zhou Yingyu looked at the man in front of her in despair, at that moment she seemed to see Su Yunxi's sneer at her before he died, and it really was retribution.

It wasn't until Zhou Yingyu died that the two let go of the rope, then hung the rope on the beam of the house, hung Zhou Yingyu on it, and overturned another table before Xue Qing left satisfied.

He didn't know that after he left, Xue Rui went in quietly. Looking at his mother who was hanging on the beam, he smiled, but wept.

Xue Qing has a large sphere of influence in the court, and the emperor can't deal with it easily, so after discussing with Marquis Jingbian for a long time, the emperor finally made up his mind to use a method that everyone can accept to deal with Xue Qing slowly. Come and report to Xue Qing, Prime Minister of the Left, to see him.
