While Qiao Yuyan was busy investigating the origins of the servants in the house, a storm arose in the court to attack Sui Xibo.
The first ones to launch an attack were several young censors from the Yushitai, accusing Sui Xibo of using his power to bully others, abducting girls from good families at will, and even causing death.
Then came some young officials in the court, and then the ministers at the top.
As more and more people complained, Sui Xibo was accused of more and more crimes. Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple produced relevant evidence, and eventually more than 50 pieces of evidence were compiled.
Stealing palace property, using inferior goods to defy the power of Heaven, accepting bribes, bullying men and dominating women, violating rules and overstepping authority, are getting more and more involved, and we are just waiting for the higher-ups to express their stance.
This did not happen in the previous life. Until Qiao Yuyan was imprisoned in that small yard, she had never heard of Zhang Lun being punished. After all, something was different in this life.
However, she felt relieved when she heard that this person was impeached. Such a cancer should be eradicated as soon as possible.
She was not worried that this guy could still escape. After all, this time he had offended Princess Jinghe. If it was okay to offend the princess, then it was not something that she, a young lady from the uncle's house, could do.
After checking everyone, Qiao Yuyan also breathed a long sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what the big deal was that the old lady of the Song family and her grandmother hid, there was nothing like the Song family in her family. After all,
Still a good thing.
So she sent the results to Ninghetang early the next morning. Like Qiao Yuyan, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to the Song family to deliver the letter.
After returning from Ninghetang, she took Shi Ye to Senior Brother Long. The junior brother who picked up the leaves was named Tang. Now he has been sent here. Most of his injuries have healed, and he was taught a lesson by Senior Brother Long.
However, Junior Brother Tang has a cheerful temperament. Although he was punished by his own senior brother, he didn't take it seriously. When he saw them coming, he was still laughing and joking, "Zhang Lun was sentenced to death yesterday and his family property was confiscated."
He was injured because of Zhang Lun, and it was also because he knew that the man was doing evil that he did what he did in the past. He was obviously very excited when he heard such news, and there was a sense of excitement in his words.
"Behave yourself, Miss Qiao is our young lady, who is like a hairy monkey like you!" Senior Brother Long came over after hearing the news and slapped his junior brother on the back until he grinned, but he didn't dare
Make a sound.
Qiao Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled, then followed them inside.
Senior Brother Long then talked about the things that Qiao Yuyan asked him to investigate the past two days, "Both things have some clues. Although the Yuan family that the girl was talking about has been in the capital for many years, it is not the same as Sui Xibo."
There is no contact. It is not difficult to find out. As long as the Zhang family was originally a poor settlement in a foreign country, Concubine Xian's natal family was just a small local squire with no connection with the capital. Concubine Xian herself also accidentally entered.
Come to the palace."
Then what happened when she met Zhang Lun that day was not something Yuan Xueqing did intentionally.
Qiao Yuyan nodded slightly, "The other thing..."
"Although Concubine Xian has been very favored in the palace over the years, her power is very limited. She is the adoptive mother of the fifth prince, and the fifth prince married the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, so she has a firm foothold. However,
There are not many families in Beijing who associate with Concubine Xian, and now there are only one or two families who are related to Concubine Xian. It has been relatively quiet recently, but Zhang Lun's downfall still caused some commotion. Concubine Xian's relationship with these families
Zhang Lun may not have contributed to the dealings. Although this person has a bad moral character, he is good at making money. He has done a lot for Concubine Xian and the fifth prince in recent years. This time Zhang Lun's accident has caused great losses to the fifth prince's faction.
Not small."
In her previous life, Qiao Yuyan had no sensitivity to this kind of thing. She couldn't even remember which prince was the one who ascended the throne, let alone the twists and turns of the relationship here.
Although she has tried her best to figure out the relationship between these forces in this life, the ones she can contact are limited, and it has only been less than half a year since she was reborn. She really doesn't know what Senior Brother Long said.
"What about the Shadow Guard?"
"No one knows," Senior Brother Long lowered his voice and replied, "This is a taboo. Although I have figured out all the doors in the capital over the years, there are still many things that I dare not touch. This Shadow Guard is one
pile."
Seeing Qiao Yuyan frowning, Senior Brother Long reminded: "Who above me didn't know that such a big thing happened in Xinglong Street that day? But look at this time, has anyone mentioned it? I want to come to your house to talk about it.
You said it quietly in private, right?"
Qiao Yuyan nodded lightly. It was indeed true. Qiao Weisheng also specifically asked her not to reveal a word to anyone, which showed that the matter was of great importance.
There was a hint of relief in Senior Brother Long's tone, "You don't have to worry, there will naturally be someone with higher authority to take care of the matters above. Although your residence is an Earl's residence, things there are still relatively far away. The girl is older."
Don’t worry too much.”
This was a veiled reference to the fight for the heirloom. After just a few words, he immediately changed the topic, "But speaking of the news, the Shen family is a bit unusual."
"Shen family?" Qiao Yuyan thought of Shen Jing. This proud daughter of the General's Mansion had always been hostile to her because of Prince An. Qiao Yuyan had also specifically learned that the Shen family was very close to the royal family, and it was not
In the past two years, it has always been like this.
That's why Princess Jiahe and Princess Jinghe called her cousin, which was not wrong.
Princess Yuhe married into the Shen family, but she passed away many years ago. Her Shen family can be considered related to the royal family.
"This is not just to inquire about the girl." Senior Brother Long took out his treasured tea and personally ordered a bowl of tea soup for Qiao Yuyan. "It was the Shen family who found me here for the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
"
Qiao Yuyan was shocked when she heard this, "Miss Shen is getting married?"
Wasn't this because he was looking at me like a black eye two days ago because of Prince An? Why is it that he is getting married in just a few days?
"Which family do you want to marry?"
Senior Brother Long shook his head, "I don't know. In fact, I didn't say that I wanted to find a companion for the eldest daughter of the Shen family. But now that I'm in this industry, I'm old. When people ask, they clearly want to find a companion for the girl.
There is only one eldest girl in the Shen family. If not her, who else could it be? So I had such a guess in my mind, but there was no news about this in the Shen family.
That’s what I call unusual.” This chapter has been completed!
