"Fourth Prince!"

The commander-in-chief appeared immediately, which made Xi Yan feel relieved.

"Madam, miss, the commander is trespassing in the backyard. I just led people to the backyard, and saw the commander leading people out of the lady's room. You are so audacious! Who gave you the right to dare to break into the office without permission?

Young lady's boudoir? When the master comes back, I will ask him to sue you!"

The housekeeper and his people then appeared and angrily complained to Mrs. Xue Mansion.

"Commander, do you have a royal order to search the palace? Otherwise, it will be a frame-up. I will definitely take you to the queen to argue about right and wrong!"

Si Mingguan is a female official in the court. He has more experience than the fourth prince in facing criticism and excuses from female relatives. When Mrs. Xue mentioned her immediate boss, the Empress, the Si Mingguan took his time and said calmly, "Mrs. Xue

I'm afraid I didn't know it when I arrived in Beijing late. We, the Si Ming Mansion, always do things with reason and will not act haphazardly. The Si Ming Mansion is ordered by the royal family to supervise the evil words and deeds in Kyoto. The fourth prince learned about Miss Xue's behavior from Miss Jia.

, even if it is not involved in such a major matter as the assassination of the emperor's relatives, it is natural for the subordinates to come to investigate, not to mention that the results of the Jia family's inquiry are directly directed at Miss Xue. The emperor's life is on my side, and I have offended Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue, please two

Forgive me, if you insist on bringing the matter to the Queen, I will accompany you to the end!"

The words of the female official of Si Ming made Mrs.

Rumors in the world have their own crimes of slander and monstrous talk. Our Majesty has been magnanimous and has abolished the crimes of slander and slander, and only ordered the Commander-in-Chief to monitor public opinion."

Since ancient times, "magic" has not been an adjective, but a serious crime. Before the spread of paper books, "ballad" originally referred to folk songs, and "rumor" refers to the language expression of ballads, mostly in the form of ballads.

The emergence of lyrics and other rhymes is conducive to oral dissemination and expansion of influence. "Rumors" can be regarded as a form of public opinion; in the previous dynasties, they were considered to be able to reflect public opinion, so "rumors" were also called evil words, and evil words deceived the public.

In the previous dynasty, it was also a serious crime that could confiscate homes and exterminate families.

After listening to Xue Zhaofeng's explanation, the mother and daughter became a little weak and stopped talking. Both of them had a tendency to talk nonsense. They thought that no one could hold them accountable after the words were said. Unexpectedly, there was a public opinion monitoring yamen in the court.

Xue Zhaofeng knew that his mother and younger sister were guilty of shortness of breath, so he explained specifically, "Mom, don't worry, Your Majesty is magnanimous. There is no precedent in this dynasty of being convicted for words, and the more supervisory responsibilities of Si Mingjian are not handled by ordinary people."

These two sentences are exaggerated, and His Majesty is generous and does not care about them. How can others still be put on the line?"

Xue Zhaofeng, like the Xue family, had a sharp mouth. After hearing Xue Zhaofeng's words, Mrs. Xue and Xue Mingzhu raised their heads again and looked at Si Mingjian.

"I wonder if the commander found out that there is something wrong with anyone in our Xue Mansion?"

The commander looked at the two of them, "Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue, Jia Wenxin's personal maid said during the interrogation that Miss Xue once seduced Jia Wenxin into going against Miss Su. I wonder if this happened?"

Facing the commander's gaze, Xue Baozhu curled her lips, "So what? But I didn't incite, I just echoed Jia Wenxin's thoughts. Who knew she would take action? Did I casually say who deserves to die? She

If you turn around and kill people, do you have to be blamed on me? I was just complaining casually!"

Xue Baozhu heard what her elder brother Xue Zhaofeng said and knew that the fourth prince and others had already interrogated Jia Wenxin and her maids, so she stopped denying what she said. Anyway, the Ming Supervisor could only supervise and not deal with it, so what could she do if she said something?

She was just following Jia Wenxin in private. Did she go out to spread rumors on a large scale? Can she really be punished with just one sentence? In this case, no one in Kyoto would dare to talk about her in private.

Aren’t these ladies in Kyoto who love to whisper in private less fun by half?

Xue Baozhu was confident, and a smile appeared on the face of the female supervisor, "Miss Xue just admits it. Since Miss Xue is so upright, she must be familiar with this thing."

The commander took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and opened it. There was some red powder wrapped inside.

Seeing this, Xue Baozhu's eyes narrowed, but then he said calmly, "This is the spice in my room. It has a light and pleasant smell. I have always liked it."

Si Mingguan shook his head, "Does Miss Xue think that this was brought from Shu County and no one in Kyoto knows this thing?" Si Mingguan said, carefully handed the thing to the Xi Inkstone aside, and presented it to Qin Jing.

Check, "Fourth Prince, this thing is called Nux Vomica. Adding a little bit of it to the spices will make people upset after being lit. People who smell it for the first time will feel in a trance. Miss Jia Wenxin lost her temper today. She must have been affected by it.

This thing is confusing, and it is caused by subconscious irritability and disorder."

When Xue Baozhu heard what Si Mingguan said, she was not stupid enough to argue with Si Mingguan. Instead, she looked careless and indifferent and said, "My lord, you are serious. This thing has been popular in Shu County for a long time. Only among big families, there is even the slightest trace of it."

Added the spice of Nux Vomica, and it is not cheap. Before I left Shu County, I got a little bit of it as a gift from a local family. Miss Jia rarely came to see me, so I ordered this spice. It was like Si

It's so miraculous as the official said. If there really is that kind of magic medicine that can make people obey your words, I won't be willing to use it on Jia Wenxin. Wouldn't it be better to use it directly on the fourth prince?"

The commander shook his head and said, "Nux vomica is just a catalyst. It can make people who are mentally weak and upset subconsciously obey. It is like invisible hypnosis. This kind of thing is also useful for dealing with boudoir ladies like Jia Wenxin.

It is useless against a man with a strong mind and a strong body like the fourth prince. The dose is large and easy to detect. Miss Xue, this kind of thing is not a specialty of Shu County, but something that has been circulated in the previous dynasty.

Banned drugs. No one mentions it now. It’s not that no one else understands it, but there are very few people in Kyoto who use such methods. Miss Xue, you are so brave."

After the commander's words fell, Xue Mingzhu's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't buy this spice. I was kept in the dark and used a little bit. Moreover, when I used this spice, I

We are both in the house like Miss Jia. If she is poisoned, won’t I also be in danger?"

Mrs. Xue patted her daughter's hand and said, "We still need more commanding officers, otherwise Baozhu will be harmed by this spice. Fourth prince, what happened today was Baozhu's unintentional act. If he was poisoned, Baozhu himself would suffer even more.

You won't involve Baozhu in the assassination of Su Zijin because of this, right? Miss Jia is also the apple of Duke Jia's eye. Can His Majesty still hold Miss Jia accountable for her temporary fault? As for my Baozhu,

It's even more far-fetched. She was just showing off the spices brought by Shu County to the noble ladies of Kyoto, and the amount of the spices was used immediately, and the most she suffered was dizziness. The idea that the little girl used poison is too far-fetched. When I came to Kyoto

Soon, however, the spices in each mansion have complex proportions and different effects. If the fourth prince investigates, will each family be required to hand over their own incense-making methods to the place where they can buy incense? If I had known, people in Kyoto, incense is the best

It is a common thing that if a family is a little wealthy, they will burn incense. Each big family has its own exclusive spice formula with different effects. If the little girl is convicted of this, I am afraid that everyone in Kyoto will think that it is...

The prince is making a fuss out of a molehill, but Baozhu will not do that."

Qin Jing listened to Mrs. Xue's words, smiled, and stood up straight, "Mrs. Xue, don't worry, rush to talk to everyone. I came to the house today just to find out the truth. Su Zijin is my fiancée, she took the lead

I am under the emperor's command, and I was targeted for no reason at school. I want to get to the bottom of it. Xue Butang must be returning to his hometown soon, so I won't bother you any more. Please tell Xue Butang what happened today.

I'm Meng Lang. When we meet in court someday, I will explain it clearly to Xue Butang in person. Xi Yan, Commander, let's go."
