What he didn't expect was that the government would be so quick to cast suspicious eyes on him.
Wu Chunsheng explained clearly the affairs of the Zhang family.
Wu Yu then sent Li Duanyuan to find the maid who had been bribed by Wu Chunsheng and identify Wu Chunsheng.
The time soon passed.
Wang Han, who salvaged Zhong's head, returned to the court with his half-rotten head.
The taste is absolutely amazing.
People outside the court looked at the excitement and ran away.
It was so fucking scary.
Soon, Li Duanyuan came back with the personal maid who served Yuan during his lifetime.
The maid identified Wu Chunsheng and gave her five taels of silver that day to take away Yuan's amulet.
At that time, she just felt that the inconspicuous sachet was not valuable. The lady carried it all day long. It might have been given to her by her important person, but it was not valuable. She was obsessed with money for a while, so she agreed.
At this point, the serial murder case was solved.
Wu Chunsheng was sentenced to be executed immediately, and Qiuhou asked to be executed. The Jin family knew clearly that the Zhang family bought Xiaofang in order to arrange a secret marriage for the dead Zhang Qingle, but they still contributed to the flames. The circumstances were serious, and he was sentenced to exile on Salmon Island.
After sorting out the details of the case, Wu Yu, as the presiding judge, immediately went to the palace to report on the case.
Zhao Zhen looked at the file and was very satisfied with the outcome of the case.
"This case was handled very beautifully, and I deserve a reward."
Wu Yu said quickly: "Your Majesty, as the governor of Kaifeng, this is my responsibility, but it is Mr. Gu. If he had reminded me these days, I would not have been able to catch the murderer so quickly."
"Master Wu is so humble. Even without Zi Yuan, Master Wu can catch the real culprit very quickly with his ability to see fire."
Zhao Zhen smiled: "You two, please stop praising each other, both of you will be rewarded!"
After talking about the case, Zhao Zhen looked at Gu Qingjue with interest: "Gu Qing, I remember I gave you the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, but why haven't you moved in yet, instead living in the Su Mansion?"
"Gu Qing, don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you, I'm just curious."
After Wu Yu heard this, he also looked at Gu Qingjue with interest.
Want to hear what this young talent has to say.
Gu Qingjue: "..."
He felt that the officials and Mr. Wu were just watching a good show, and they must have known the rumors about him during this period.
"Your Majesty, I lost my father when I was eleven and my mother when I was twelve. The family actually doesn't have much savings. If my wife hadn't left me and my two younger siblings, it would have been difficult for Ziyuan to support my younger siblings, let alone study."
"To be honest with you, your Majesty, my current family property is all earned by my wife. It can be said that everything I have is given by her. We have been through hardships together over the years. I have long said to myself in my heart, no matter where I can go in the future. , I am only good to her, everything I own belongs to her."
"The mansion given by Your Majesty, I want to use it as the wedding room for our couple on the wedding day. Before that, it needs to be properly arranged. Please also ask Your Majesty and Mr. Wu to keep it a secret for me."
Zhao Zhen was still smiling, but not as relaxed as before. Gu Qingjue's words reminded him of himself.
He is an emperor and has countless women. If he had the same background as Gu Qingjue, would anyone follow him?
This is a fruitless question.
Wu Yu also looked thoughtful.
After coming out of the palace, the reward for Wu Yu came quickly, but the reward for Gu Qingjue was delayed.
Suddenly, rumors spread.
But the owner of the rumor was not affected at all. He went to court when he needed to go to the office and went to work when he needed to, and his daily routine was very regular.
On August 2, the eldest princess turns fifty-eight.
Even though the eldest princess said that just celebrating casually, she still couldn't stop everyone from coming to congratulate her.
The eldest princess's mansion is close to the Su's mansion. After breakfast in the morning, Su Yixin went to the eldest princess's mansion first, just in time to check the eldest princess's pulse in advance.
"Yixin is here, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Princess. I'll take your pulse."
The eldest princess has an imperial doctor to take care of her body, so it won't be bad, but this is a disease caused by Feng Shui, and she needs to confirm it.
The eldest princess looked at Su Yixin kindly. The recent murder case had made a lot of noise. Gong Jin was working as an errand in Kaifeng Mansion. Because of this case, he had been working hard for many days, but there was still no progress.
I heard from Gongjin that thanks to Yixin, they were able to catch the real culprit quickly.
She liked Su Yixin even more.
Such a woman should not be trapped in the inner house. She has abided by etiquette all her life, but she sincerely hopes that someone can live a different and wonderful life.
"The eldest princess is in good health, but she still shouldn't work too hard."
The eldest princess nodded: "The imperial doctor said the same thing. I originally said that today's birthday does not need to be too grand, but His Majesty is coming, and the people in the palace dare not slack off, so the commotion has become so big."
"This is the eldest princess of the official family."
"By the way, you and I will go out together later, okay?"
Su Yixin looked at the eldest princess in surprise, but the eldest princess had clear eyes and a full smile.
"good."
The status and age of the eldest princess were all there. When women from various mansions came, they were all arranged at the banquet by the lake. No one accompanied them and they did not dare to say that the eldest princess was rude.
Mrs. Kong and Mrs. Zhang were sitting together, whispering.
"The eldest princess has not come yet. Is it possible that her health is not fully recovered?"
Mrs. Zhang was quite old. She had not lost her life in the back house before, but this time she accidentally injured the eldest princess.
The main reason is that the eldest princess has not recovered from her illness. If someone notices it and the officials get angry, it will be over.
"Mrs. Zhang, why are you so nervous!"
Mrs. Kong looked around and whispered: "We didn't do anything, we just mentioned it casually. Besides, what we said is the truth. How can we influence what the eldest princess thinks..."
Seeing a maid coming to refill the tea, Mrs. Kong stopped talking.
After the people walked away, he continued: "In the past, the imperial doctors changed one after another, but these days, only the imperial doctor Fang is the only one who diagnoses the eldest princess's pulse regularly. I think it's not a big deal."
"you are right."
As people get older, they are not as cruel as when they were young.
It really becomes less useful as you get older.
The two of them were about to continue talking when they saw someone coming from the corner of their eyes. They saw it was Mrs. Cui, Vice President Han's wife, and his sister Han.
Then shut up immediately.
"Hey, Mrs. Han is here. As soon as Mr. Han was promoted, Mrs. Han became more and more assertive. Mrs. Zhang Xiang and I have been here for a long time, but you and Mr. Gu's wife came late. It would be too disrespectful to the eldest princess. Respectfully."
Cui Shengrong took her aunt's hand and Shi Shiran sat down at the table next to her.
He said unhurriedly: "The post from the eldest princess to us started at noon. I was afraid of delaying the eldest princess's birthday party. My family had lunch in advance. Mrs. Kong came so early. Could it be that she wanted to let the eldest princess Prepare lunch for you alone?"
Qu Shuyuan gritted her teeth and looked at Cui Shengrong: "Mrs. Han, what are you talking about?"
