Aunt Zheng looked at the lotus pond out of the corner of her eye, and happened to see Fang Huaquan, who had a big swollen bump on his forehead and was trying hard to shake off the turtle.
After a while, Aunt Zheng turned her head to the other side: She is too old to see such a thing hurting her eyes.
Just as the three of them were making a fuss, someone suddenly came over from outside and said, "Princess, your Majesty, Prince Li is here."
Hearing Prince Li coming over, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "The scenery of the lotus pond is just right. Invite people here quickly."
Prince Li came in from outside in a hurry.
His grandson's illness has always been on his mind. For this reason, he, who has not been to court for many years, specially attended the court meeting today, intending to find someone who could speak in front of Princess Jinyang.
As soon as he returned home after holding a discussion in the teahouse, he learned that the turtle he had raised for many years had been taken away by his grandson.
The first reason why he came here in such a hurry is because the turtle has developed feelings after being raised for many years, and the other reason is that the thing he raised is really not suitable for outsiders to know...
Seeing Prince Li coming over, Yu Guang smiled at him in a slightly older voice: "Your bastard fell into the water, they will help you fish it out."
King Li: "..." This sounds a bit strange.
Since King Li came in from outside, Fang Haoqing and the other three happened to have their backs to him.
From the perspective of King Li, he could not see the actual situation of these three people at all. He only knew that the three of them were shivering like cramps in the lotus pond.
Looking away from the three people in the pond with a look of disgust, King Li suddenly thought of what he had just said from the corner of his eye: "My turtle is in the pond."
It's over, it's over, it's completely irretrievable unless all the water in the pond is washed out.
Seeing the expression of King Li who dared not speak out, Yu Guang felt that he had to help these three grandsons clear their names: "They are very powerful and they have already caught them."
Prince Li was not a good-tempered person. Hearing Yu Guang's words, he immediately retorted: "How can this be..."
King Li's voice stopped suddenly, because as his angle changed, he could clearly see the turtle hanging on Fang Huaquan's hand.
Looking at Fang Huaquan's tragic image, King Li stood still and held back his words for a while: "Very good!"
It's really good to bite like this without crying.
Fang Huaquan: "..." Doesn't this thing belong to your old man? Please let him go!
Seeing that the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence again, the concierge hurried over again to report: "Madam, Mr. Liu from the Punishment Department has come over and said he wants to speak to the eldest son of the Marquis of Guannei."
When the concierge mentioned Capt. Liu, Fang Huaquan's body stiffened, and then he began to tremble violently.
Prince Li glanced at Fang Huaquan first, and then set his sights on Yu Guang.
He pursed his lips, but didn't say anything. He just straightened his chest and raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and looked in the direction of the arch with full vigor.
Smiling out of the corner of his eye, he walked slowly to his side and reminded softly: "You're going in the wrong direction."
Prince Li is a king with an iron hat. When he comes to the Prince's Mansion, he naturally has to go through the main entrance.
As for Capt. Liu, although he was working for the Provincial Government Office, he still had no face in the Prince's Mansion.
As the princess of Jinyang, she was willing to see the other party, not for the sake of arresting Liu, but to give face to the punishment department's Yamen.
Liu Captou led a group of people into the courtyard quickly. When he saw the two people standing in the courtyard, his body froze slightly and he had the urge to turn around and leave.
It is difficult to be an official in the capital. If you want to make a living in the capital, you must know the situation of the major families.
The situation of every aristocratic family is different. Although Princess Jinyang has a good temper, no one knows that she is a person who protects her shortcomings.
She was already very difficult to deal with on her own, but now she had the overbearing and unreasonable Prince Li.
Their case today may be a bit difficult to handle!
Bracing himself to pay homage to the two giant Buddhas one by one, Capt. Liu licked his face and smiled apologetically at the two of them: "I'm here today because I have something to say to the eldest son, the Marquis of Guannei. I don't know if it's convenient."
Out of the corner of his eye he looked at Mr. Liu with a smile: "Since
It is convenient, but this is the first time that this princess has seen someone interrogate a case since she has grown so big. I wonder if she can watch from the side. "
There was hesitation in Captain Liu's voice: "This..."
Princess Jinyang even revealed her identity. Naturally, she didn't just want to watch, she clearly wanted to protect the eldest son of Guannei Hou.
It's sad to say that what happened today is really disgusting.
This morning, the doctor from the Neihou Mansion secretly came out to report, claiming that Mrs. Hou's warehouse had been stolen and she was beating the servant at home.
In the imperial dynasty, there was no rule that people could not sue officials, let alone such a serious crime as theft, and the doctor of the government did not sign a death contract.
It's okay if they don't know about this kind of thing. Now that someone has reported it, they will definitely take care of it.
When I came to ask, I found out that it turned out that the eldest son of the Marquis of Guan Nei had a quarrel with the Marquis of Guan Nei last night over money.
Mrs. Hou kindly called people over to comfort her, and after persuading him for a long time, she allowed the eldest young master to rest his mind.
She thought that things would just go away, but early this morning, Mrs. Hou discovered that her small warehouse was stolen, and one hundred thousand taels of silver notes were lost in it.
No more, no less, just the amount that the eldest son asked from the Marquis.
She didn't dare to make the matter public for fear of ruining the eldest son's reputation.
Seeing Mr. Liu coming over, Mrs. Hou was very resistant and just wanted to send him away quickly.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis was extremely angry and wished he could slap his son to death.
After listening to Liu Captou's inquiry, the Marquis of Guannei immediately killed his relatives out of justice. No matter how much Mrs. Hou pleaded, he still asked Liu Captou to pursue the matter to the end, and kept saying that he would get rid of this traitor who insulted the reputation of the Hou family.
Mrs. Hou persuaded her, while vaguely revealing that the banknotes she had lost were all marked.
When they first got married, Mrs. Hou's natal family gave Mrs. Hou a small piece of moonstone as a dowry.
That is a rare treasure. Even though it is so small, it can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
But the day before the dowry was to be displayed, the stone was accidentally broken by Mrs. Hou's dowry girl.
Mrs. Hou was afraid that others would think the matter was ominous, so she did not tell anyone about it.
But after getting married, people grind the moonstone into powder and sprinkle it on their valuables.
Whenever someone touches her things, they will be stained with this powder.
Moonstone powder does not show up during the day, but it will emit a little bit of fluorescence in places where there is no light. Unless the other person cleans his body from top to bottom, it will definitely show up.
But washing the whole body for no reason is originally a very strange thing.
Therefore, this bank note is relatively easy to find.
Mrs. Hou's words made Captain Liu feel a little tired. He had handled many cases over the years, and he had seen a lot of secrets in the mansion.
It’s clear who is human and who is ghost.
But he knew it was useless. Looking at the appearance of the couple, it was clear that they wanted to get rid of the eldest son.
Liu Captou sighed in his heart: The eldest son of the Marquis of Guan Nei is pitiful to have such a thoughtful stepmother and a cruel father.
