"This slave is really unjust!"
Seeing Prince Dai looking at her expressionlessly and saying nothing, Grandma Jia hurriedly asked for help and looked at Princess Dai.
Ye Buhui looked around, a little hesitant. Normally, Aunt Jia's husband's family was considered an old relative of the prince. Aunt Jia had been with her for a long time, so she was considered an old man in the palace. She should trust her.
But people are close and distant, and compared to Aunt Jia, Ye Buhui certainly trusts her husband more.
She looked at Su Ziji and saw her husband's indifferent expression, so she had an idea. She frowned and asked, "Is the Yin House mentioned in the investigation just now true?"
"Princess, believe me, I didn't! I didn't. I was wronged. I am loyal to you. How could I accept these bribes behind my master's back? You should understand that I am loyal!" Grandma Jia said hurriedly.
The phrase "back to the master" was caught by Bo Yan, and he immediately smiled evilly: "Back to the master to accept these bribes? Aunt Jia, I only said that I found out that you suddenly had more money and fertile land under your name, but I didn't say You rebelled against the Lord."
This is not self-inflicted.
Aunt Jia choked: "I, I'm just afraid that the prince and princess will misunderstand..."
"If you don't want the prince and princess to misunderstand, let's make it clear now."
Bo Yan stared at her, seeing her panic and incoherence, but he didn't sympathize with her. He wanted to gain the trust of the acting king, and he had to run the errand this time without making any mistakes. If he found out about Grandma Jia, if he let Grandma Jia The face of the contemporary royal princess has been turned upside down, and her face is also tarnished.
Then he pressed harder: "You said you didn't betray your master, then tell me, your Jia family had difficulty even eating, and you yourself only made a living by washing clothes. You have only been in the house for a year, how can you get a thousand taels of silver and One hundred acres of fertile land?”
"Is it possible that the prince and princess rewarded you?"
"I..." Grandma Jia was stuck, unable to speak for a moment, her face turned pale, and she managed to say: "It was given to me by a relative!"
"This is one thousand taels of silver and one hundred acres of fertile land."
"Uncle Anxiang's family's farmland is only 27 hectares and 94 acres. Whose relative is so nice as to give you 10 hectares of farmland? Whose name is it? Where does he live? When did he give it to you? Why did he give it to you? Aunt Jia, I'm here You must speak clearly before the prince!" Bo Yan sneered.
Aunt Jia couldn't tell, this was her betrayal of Princess Dai to gain benefits, but she never expected that even though she was well hidden, Bo Yan found out!
This person is too hateful, why do you have to fight with her?
Knowing that she was afraid that today would be the end, she looked at Bo Yan with resentment in her eyes.
Bo Yan has seen similar looks many times over the years and doesn't care at all.
Seeing that Aunt Jia was speechless, he raised his hands to the king and said, "Your Majesty, the facts are obvious. Aunt Jia betrayed her master and did things that were harmful to the palace, so she got the money and land."
As for who he was in contact with and who he was benefiting from, Bo Yan vaguely found out one thing and stopped. It must have been some powerful family in the capital who bribed Grandma Jia.
With the speed of Dai Wang's promotion in the past two years, he is probably a thorn in the eyes of all the kings, and any one of them may attack Dai Wang's palace and bribe one or two people.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Standing on behalf of the king, when he heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, and his eyes towards Aunt Jia were even more murderous: "The princess treats you well, but you actually betrayed me? Come on, take it down!"
"Yes!" Two soldiers from the outside came in. No matter whether they were men or women, or whether she was the princess's favorite, they directly held her down. Not only did they hold her down, they also searched her body.
"Your Majesty, we found three hundred taels of silver and this unknown silverware." After a soldier finished searching, he put the things on a plate and raised them above his head to show Su Ziji.
The wild Taoist came over at this time, first picked up the banknote and glanced at it. This was Hongsheng's largest 100-tael leading banknote. Hongsheng Bank was one of the six major banks in the capital. The banknotes issued by Hongsheng Bank had strong credit and were fully accepted. , couldn't help but laugh: "It's so bold to take action!"
Putting down the banknote and picking up the silverware, he was careless at first, but as soon as he looked at it, his color changed: "This is... the punch line!"
"Chong Xuwen?"
Su Ziji was unfamiliar with this name and asked, "What's the use of it?"
He could see that what the barbarians were afraid of was the pattern on the thumb-sized silverware, not the silverware itself.
The wild Taoist's eyes showed a cold light, he bowed and said gloomily: "My lord, these lines are like formations but not formations. They are engraved on silverware and soaked in the blood of mothers and children born in the yin moon and yin day. In nine days, with the addition of several materials and refining, you can create a magic weapon."
"The magical weapons made according to this method have a false reputation. This weapon has no other great use. It is only harmful to pregnant women and can hurt babies."
As soon as he said this, Su Ziji was furious.
This anger, even if it was a show, was still 70% real. If he had known that Aunt Jia had done such a betrayal, Su Ziji, who had already been angry for a long time, listened to the explanation of the wild Taoist and still killed her. A sudden idea!
"Hard to a pregnant mother and child? Very good!"
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and looked at Aunt Jia who was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't pull herself up, and sneered: "It only takes a thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of land to make you do such a cruel thing... pull it down." !”
"My lord, spare your life!" Aunt Jia was so frightened that she was trembling all over. There was even a smell of urine in the air, which made people nauseous.
Su Ziji shouted coldly: "I have always been generous to my servants. I don't want to be bitten by a poisonous snake today, Jiang Yi!"
"The villain is here!"
Jiang Yi's face turned pale when he saw all this. Although this matter had nothing to do with him directly, if nothing else was said, just the steward of the palace and the nun in the palace had done such a bold thing. To be serious, he The person in charge was also guilty of negligence!
This is different from the Imperial City Secretary. The Imperial City Secretary made it clear that he was following the holy will and was only supervising, not harming the acting king, let alone allowing anyone to harm Longsun.
Jiang Yi, who had been silent until he heard the roar of King Dai, heard it now and hurriedly stood up to respond.
Just listen to the instructions of King Dai: "Leave this matter to you and Manager Zhou for review. Who was bribed by her? How did she contact the outside world? You have to find out if there is anyone in the mansion who betrayed her!"
"Also, if you do something like this, the Jia family and her mother's family will be strictly scrutinized to see who is behind it?"
Jiang Yi also knew that the matter was serious and that it was a major matter for the royal family's heirs, so he immediately responded: "Please rest assured, prince and princess, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly!"
"Okay, step back first and go investigate immediately! If you can't find out this matter, you don't have to see me again!" Su Ziji said coldly to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly excused himself. As soon as he left the door, he heard Nanny Jia wake up and turn around, shouting desperately: "Princess, help me, I'm confused, I'm not a human being, spare me..."
He called again: "Manager Jiang, my family and your colleagues."
Jiang Yi sighed: "If I had known this, why would I bother my family in the first place? Someone, come here, drag this wretched maid down and interrogate her."
Seemingly seeing despair, she suddenly hissed: "I colluded with outsiders, and you are not much better. I saw you secretly meeting people from outside..."
When he said this, his mouth was blocked, and Jiang Yi could only be heard shouting: "You are about to die, do you still dare to bite randomly?"
