Zhu Youjian screamed bitterly in his heart. This incident still made Juhua Niang aware of it, but fortunately, Juhua Niang didn't make a big fuss about it.
He found Chrysanthemum Girl.
Juhua Niang and Zhu Youjian walked aside, while Wang Chengen did not approach from a distance.
"Village Chief, this matter should not be publicized. I am not in a position to explain the specific reasons. I hope the Village Chief can understand."
Juhua Niang smiled faintly: "There is no need to worry, King Xin. The village chief knows what happened tonight. King Xin left in a hurry. He must have entered the palace, right? But you kept silent and didn't tell me the reason. I knew it involved confidentiality." So, in the name of an exercise, I summoned the people of the village to do it quietly."
Zhu Youjian immediately looked at the peasant woman with admiration.
He praised and said: "The village chief is so wise! Women are not inferior to men, you have learned a lesson!"
The chrysanthemum girl smiled proudly.
"King Xin thanked you, but I only realized it later. After you left, I wanted to tell Aunt Liu immediately. I thought that Aunt Liu was called to the Huichun Hall by the young master. On the way back, I remembered it."
"I met Manager Liu Mei and reported this matter to her."
Zhu Youjian said: "That's amazing! Did you find anything? Someone broke into my house today and put some things in."
Ju Hua Niang looked around and said, "I have some clues. This evening, before all the villagers of Nongwu Village returned to the village, someone slipped in."
Zhu Youjian perked up and asked, "Can you find it?"
Ju Hua Niang shook her head and said, "I saw it accidentally when Old Man Liu was tending sheep. He said that when he came back from driving the sheep, he saw a young young man walking out of the village quickly and bumped into him. , and said a few words.”
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed, and then frowned: "Didn't this person do something bad to Old Man Liu?"
Juhua Niang smiled and said: "The thief is not so brave. Behind Old Man Liu is Uncle Wang, the cattle herder, and several other old men. He cannot kill so many people quickly."
Zhu Youjian asked: "Then we can let Old Man Liu identify him!"
Juhua Niang sighed, "This is easier said than done. However, we still have to look back and see if Manager Liu has made any progress on this matter. We alone are powerless. King Xin, it's just the right time for you to come back. I want to hear your opinion."
Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment.
He raised his head and said: "The village chief did the right thing! This matter must indeed be repaid! But the reason must be concealed, and the outside world should say that a thief stole the things in the village."
Juhua Niang smiled, "That's what I did!"
Zhu Youjian was stunned, "I admire it! I admire it!"
The chrysanthemum girl smiled cheerfully.
Zhu Youjian also smiled.
At this moment, he really didn't dare to look down on anyone anymore. Even a village woman like Juhua Niang had such intelligence, which really made Zhu Youjian deeply moved.
…
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the stack of confessions in his hand with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground with a pale face.
Zhu Youxiao put down his confession, sat down, and said calmly: "This is a malicious accusation made by the remnants of the Hakka family! It's all a matter of catching wind and shadow! But these traitors have terrible intentions! They are trying to provoke a fight between me and the wise king. Conflict, but also want to take the opportunity to discredit me, the wise king and the queen! How disgusting!"
Wei Zhongxian was speechless.
Zhu Youxiao asked: "Daban, what do you think of these confessions?"
Wei Zhongxian couldn't bear the shame and anger: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves death! I deceived you and neglected my superiors. I gave the opportunity to traitors behind me. Please grant me death!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "I don't blame you. My eldest companion had to hide something from me because of my face and the good reputation of the wise king and queen. I think the wise king and queen also had difficulty in defending their words, so they acquiesced in your actions. "
Wei Zhongxian shed tears, feeling moved and inexplicably sad.
He choked up and cried.
"Get up!"
Wei Zhongxian kowtowed heavily, stood up, and spoke softly.
"At that time, the emperor's life and death were unknown, the Hakka family and Zhu Chunchen controlled the government and the public, and the queen and the empress came to the capital to quell the chaos. At this time, for the sake of the overall situation, any remarks that are not conducive to the king and the empress are intolerable! This servant is now I tried my best to cover it up, but I didn’t know it was still exposed!”
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "The government and the public were shocked at that time. You were right to do this. There are too many people who know that the queen was drugged. Unless you can kill everyone, there will always be something wrong."
Wei Zhongxian said: "Later, the old slave killed a group of people who spread rumors and caused trouble, and after these people involved were executed, the situation settled down, and His Majesty also woke up. The wise king said at that time that he would make this clear to Your Majesty. However, Yang Yushi, Zuo Yushi, and the servants all tried to persuade the wise king not to do this!"
"And the empress also intends to die to apologize. If this is the case, wouldn't it be like fulfilling the wish of this humble servant of the Hakka family! Considering that your majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, it is not appropriate to get angry. In addition, in order to prevent this matter from causing injustice to the wise king and the empress, in Under my hard persuasion, the wise king and the empress had no choice but to approve the slave’s memorial to His Majesty.”
"Your Majesty, although the Hakkas drugged the empress at that time, they also wanted to take the opportunity to slander the King Xian. The King Xian was concerned and confused, and entered the Kunning Palace without checking for a while. However, the servant has great confidence in the character of the King Xian! And afterwards, the servant repeatedly questioned the guards and Hou Guoxing at that time, and they all confirmed that they went in immediately after the wise king entered, mainly because Hou Guoxing, the traitor, had the intention to be rebellious!"
Zhu Youxiao's face was ashen. Hou Guoxing, a traitor, actually wants to get his hands on my queen. Who do you think you are? Do you deserve it?
"Every word of my servant is true! I dare to guarantee with my head that the wise king never did anything like what was said in the whistleblower letter. These thieves had malicious intentions and mixed some untrue words into it. I have kept the interrogation record at that time." Your Majesty will know the original copy by comparing it."
Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "I am not a fool. How could I fall into the trap of the traitors with such despicable methods! Besides, at that time, after the wise brother took the queen away, he immediately returned to Qianqing Palace After saving me, my dear brother didn’t have this time!”
Wei Zhongxian perked up and nodded: "That's right! Your Majesty is right! If the wise king really has bad intentions, how could he try his best to save His Majesty? These thieves are really vicious!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "There is no need to argue further about this section, I don't believe it!"
Wei Zhongxian said: "The ministers also don't believe the rumors spread by the Hakka family. Regarding the fact that the empress was drugged by the Hakka family, only one slave knew about it before."
Zhu Youxiao sighed, "But once these are widely circulated, everyone will talk about them. Now that the traitors have taken action, they will definitely not stop. This matter will make me very embarrassed, and it will definitely make the wise king and queen The reputation has been damaged, as for me and the Hakka family...since I have done such things, I deserve to bear these infamy, and I cannot blame others!"
Wei Zhongxian gasped with anger.
"Your Majesty, this news is not something that ordinary people can know. The traitors are quite powerful! I am worried that they have other evil plans, so we must be on guard!"
