As for Tang Jianqiu, there are certain reasons why he became the commander;
His master was none other than Lu Kui, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, who later served as General Anyuan. His father was the commander of the Jinyi Guards when he was alive, and his wife was the fifth daughter of Wu Peng, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Grandfather Lu Bing's status was even more terrifying. He was the son of Lu Song, a fellow governor, and his mother was the wet nurse of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong. He was in charge of the Imperial Guard, Taibao, Young Master, and Governor Zuo. He grew up with the emperor and was his childhood playmate. In the 18th year of Jiajing's reign, he rescued Ming Shizong and gained his majesty's favor from then on.
Lu Bing was the youngest, but the most prudent. He became the commander of the Imperial Guard at the age of only 28. He was respected by both the government and the public. However, he was always undefeated in power struggles!
It is precisely because of such a strong relationship that Tang Jianqiu was promoted by his master and became the governor of the town;
"Mom, come with me to the kitchen later."
Tang Jianqiu naturally understood Gu's character, and he would not be convinced if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Even though she didn't know what Tang Jianqiu was doing, Gu didn't ask any more questions, raised her head and agreed.
After about two cups of tea, the maid named Chu Wu was sneaking around.
She tentatively glanced around, cautiously making sure no one noticed her, and then poured the carefully prepared white powder into the clay pot.
Chuwu seemed to be smiling after seeing the final outcome, but little did he know that this scene had been witnessed by Tang Jianqiu and the others.
How could Butler Huo, who protects the Lord, tolerate Chu Wu being so bold? He pinned her to the ground on the spot and kicked Chu Wu as if she was an enemy.
The fifth day of the lunar month is already fragile, how can it withstand the strength of a man? A wail, then a low sob.
To say that this fifth day of the Lunar New Year is still strong-willed, it is not too panicked and absent-minded. Some of it is just uncomfortable after the plan was exposed.
"I... I don't know why Butler Huo is so impulsive. Why did he alert the fourth young master and the eldest lady?"
"The Tang family treats you well. Now that everyone has gained the stolen goods, how dare you, a cheap servant, deny it?" Butler Huo shouted angrily, his face becoming ferocious due to excessive anger.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, I felt guilty about being a thief. Maybe I was too nervous and my eyes were erratic.
Now that there are all the witnesses and physical evidence of this situation, not to mention being caught with his own eyes, Chu Wu naturally lost the arrogance he had at the beginning, and his delicate body was shaking non-stop.
She knew very well how to treat others as a Jin Yiwei, not to mention Tang Jianqiu, who was also the envoy of Beifu. There were ten thousand ways to make her life worse than death.
Butler Huo was about to raise his hands and mouth, but Tang Jianqiu made a gesture to stop him, "Wait a minute, how can you, a maid, have the courage to murder the eldest lady? Tell me the behind-the-scenes instructions and spare your life!"
Although Tang Jianqiu was smiling, to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he was like the King of Hell demanding his life, which frightened her.
"Slave, slave... slave made a mistake!" Chuwu was very scared and his body couldn't stop trembling.
"If you don't admit it's okay, I will find a way to pry your mouth open!"
Although Beizhen Fusi has the right to arrest people, he must rely on evidence in everything, not to mention that in the eyes of outsiders, Jin Yiwei is a murderous demon. If he does not produce some evidence, there is no way to convince those people.
Tang Jianqiu raised his eyebrows and immediately got angry, "You won't say it, right? Okay! Butler Huo, drag her out and sell her to Tinghua House, and let her be a prostitute forever!"
Is it okay to hear it on the first day of the fifth lunar month? It would be better to let her die than to let her survive in that kind of place!
"No - no, Fourth Young Master, I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all. Yes, it was the groom Awen's instruction. He has feelings for me as a man and a woman. He promised that as long as I help him do this, he will take me far away. ."
"Motive? Could it be that Kai covets my Tang family's property?"
It's not like he hasn't heard of similar things like this. It's unforgivable to do such a dirty thing for the sake of a groom!
"I... my slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die!"
Before Butler Huo could take action, Chu Wu was the first to raise his jade arm and shoot left and right at the soft cheek.
Tang Jianqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, half-smiling but not smiling, as if the God of Death were alive, and his tone was slightly colder:
"I really didn't expect that the Tang family would actually have such worms as you, and that this little maid and groom would have such great authority. Do you really think that I, Tang Jianqiu, am stupid?"
"I...servant don't dare, please spare my life, Master!"
Seemingly realizing that this was of little use, Chu Wu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to ask for forgiveness.
Tang Jianqiu's expression did not change, and he immediately ordered Butler Huo to stand up.
"Go! Put this wretched maid and the groom into the woodshed and lock it. No one can open the door for them without my order!"
"yes!"
"Young Master, please spare your life, Fourth Young Master, please spare your life!"
On the fifth day of the lunar month, he was forcibly taken away like a dog to death, and then his voice gradually faded away.
Mrs. Gu was extremely worried and seemed to be worried. She frowned and said uneasily, "Qiu'er, is this really done on the fifth day of the lunar month?"
Chu Wu has been with her for several years. Not to mention he has great trust in her, but at least he treats her well. That's why he placed her next to the young master. He never thought that he would just lure a wolf into the house.
"Mother, please rest assured that there are doubts about this matter, and please give me some time. He must have caught the mastermind behind it."
After all, Tang Jianqiu was also an envoy of the Northern Government, and the number of people arrested was probably in the thousands, so how could he trust the words of a little maid?
He thought there must be something fishy about this matter!
The first and most important thing is to collect evidence. Since there are still residues on the medicine, combined with the previous prescription prescribed by the doctor, some clues will be found by combining the two.
After collecting the criminal evidence, Tang Jianqiu picked up the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and then set off quickly to the place where Li Shuchu, the grandson of the famous doctor Li Shizhen, was.
I originally planned to go to Qizhou, but I didn't expect to bump into Li Shuchu halfway. It was just right.
When he saw the visitor, Tang Jianqiu, he didn't panic, put on his most respectful side, and clasped his hands protectively in front of his chest.
"Doctor Li, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet you here. You also know my temper. I never like beating around the bush. Could you please take a look at the prescription and see if there is anything wrong with it."
The two have similar grades, but one is a junior fourth grade and the other is a positive fourth grade;
Li Shuchu quickly returned the gift and then took the prescription from Tang Jianqiu's hand.
"It's easy to say, hiss...is this medicine prescribed by a doctor?"
Li Shuchu frowned, seeming a little uneasy. It was this inadvertent change in his expression that Tang Jianqiu caught, which made him feel a little bad.
"May I ask if there is something wrong with this medicine?"
Li Shuchu picked up the prescription and looked at it again and again before giving the explanation:
"Mr. Tang didn't know something. One of the medicines prescribed by this doctor was called Houttuynia cordata. Houttuynia cordata has a pungent taste and cold nature. It returns to the lung meridian and can clear away heat and detoxify. However, white peony root conflicts with hellebore. ,
Houttuynia cordata is slightly poisonous and should not be consumed in excess. If a person with colds takes this medicine, he or she may not get better. In this case, the patient will die in a weak state. No one will doubt it. "
"That's it, Doctor Li, thank you very much!"
Now Tang Jianqiu finally understood why his mother died of illness in his dream;
Fortunately, stop the loss in time, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"What's the big deal about trivial matters? Mr. Tang, I have important matters to attend to, and I hope you can help me."
"Doctor Li, it's Tang who is disturbing me, please."
The two went in opposite directions, and Tang Jianqiu returned to his original indifferent face, replaced by a look of killing the enemy.
He probably knew who was behind it.
Tang Jianqiu borrowed a horse and headed to Tang's house as quickly as he could. After about three cups of tea, Tang Jianqiu arrived successfully and summoned all the servants to go to the inner hall.
There are more than thirty servants in the Tang family, including maids, servants, and grooms.
The servants were whispering to each other, completely unaware of what was going on. It was not until Tang Jianqiu appeared that they interrupted the discussion.
Also here are Gu and his family. He said he wanted to take them to watch a play, but he didn't know what it was about.
"Are you all here? I think you should already know about being locked up in the firewood shed on the fifth day of the lunar month. Even if they don't tell me, I know who the mastermind behind this is. If he admits it frankly now, maybe I will give him a chance."
Seeing that no one acknowledged it, Tang Jianqiu was not surprised at all. He scanned the crowd and found nothing suspicious.
"Since no one admits it, I will tell you the truth. Just now I went to see Dr. Li Shuchu and told him the prescription. Only then did I learn that there is a medicinal material in the prescription that is in conflict with white peony root.
If you accidentally touch this person, you will be deeply poisoned. The palm of the person who first touches the powder will have a slight blackening phenomenon, and then it will be introduced from the blood vessels to the top of the head.
From Jingyintang to Shenting and then to Baihui, the stasis could not be released, and then there was bleeding from all the seven orifices until the heart stopped and died. "
Tang Jianqiu's cold eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he glanced at the villain with a guilty conscience.
Just now he noticed that one of them put his hands behind his back, as if he was afraid of exposing any flaws. Even though he looked calm on the outside, he couldn't hide the guilt inside.
Tang Jianqiu pretended not to know, and said: "If I remember correctly, an hour has passed, and the toxicity has already taken effect, and then extended to the neck."
Hearing this, the little man felt guilty and stretched out his hand to touch his neck, fearing that there would be signs of blackening. Little did he know that Tang Jianqiu noticed such a small movement.
"And the real mastermind behind this is you! Butler Huo, were the Tang family ever harsh on you? Why did you kill the eldest lady!"
Tang Jianqiu was a little surprised when he learned that the murderer behind the scenes was Butler Huo, but he didn't want to show it too obviously, so he could only suppress this emotion out of habit.
Only then did Butler Huo realize that he had been tricked. He wanted to speak out but didn't know where to start, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it.
"Since the fourth young master has found out that Huo has nothing to say and is willing to be punished, Huo will be responsible for this matter."
Tang Jianqiu was silent. He had a close relationship with Butler Huo, and he didn't do anything to cause huge waves in the dream. Could it be said that he was an accomplice who harmed the Tang family?
At present, it is just a suspicion, and there is no complete evidence. The first priority now is to convict him.
"That's not up to you! According to our Ming Dynasty's criminal law, if Housekeeper Huo and the following offenders were guilty, they almost killed Mrs. Tang. She did not die due to her injuries. The principal offender should be hanged, and the accomplices should be hanged together on the fifth day of the lunar month. Although Awen did not take any action, he participated in the conspiracy. Policy, should be punished with a hundred rods, three years of apprenticeship!
The three of you are supposed to be escorted to Beizhen Fusi, so let’s just send you to the Criminal Department first.
Come on, take these three people down and escort them to the Criminal Department! "
"yes!"
"No... don't! Don't! Fourth Young Master, I have an elder and a younger one, you must not do this to me!
The younger one has been in the Tang family for so many years. He must have worked hard even if he has no merit! Just think that I am giving away my merits! "
Butler Huo was desperate and wanted to kneel down to beg for mercy, but Tang Jianqiu gave him a cold look.
It was okay if he didn't mention this sentence, but Tang Jianqiu got angry when he mentioned it.
It was precisely because of his loyalty to the Tang family that he did not suspect him at the beginning, but now it is really disappointing to do such a thing.
Tang Jianqiu's expression did not change, and he ordered:
"take away!"
Tang Jianqiu had no need to be merciful towards such people.
If you step back one foot in the future, you will have to step back a hundred feet in the future, not to mention this person is not worthy of forgiveness!
Tang Yin and even the second lady were very angry when they found out about this. All their plans were ruined by Tang Jianqiu!
Tang Yin was so angry that he wanted to crush the cup in his hand;
"Damn it! Tang Jianqiu, do you think being a military attache is a big deal? Do you think I can't touch you because your master is Lu Kui? Ha, what a joke! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, so I don't believe that your hand can be stretched so long!"
Of course, he knew that the real mastermind behind this must be someone else. Maybe it was Tang Yin who colluded with Butler Huo and gave him some benefits to make the loyal Butler Huo obsessed.
It's a pity that there is no evidence. If you kill them directly, you will be relieved of your hatred, but you will have to bear the infamy of killing your brother and brother, and you will have to suffer jail time for it. There is no way to kill Wei Zhongxian!
What's more important is that this situation may not be enough to convict him!
Being able to get rid of the bastard’s confidant is not entirely a bad thing, at least the harm is eliminated!
Tang Jianqiu was filled with murderous intent, and the flames of hatred rolled back and forth in his eyes. He thought to himself: "Tang Yin, this is just the beginning. I, Tang Jianqiu, will pay back a hundredfold for everything you and Wei Zhongxian committed!"
