Chapter 254 Suzhou Incident
But when Lin Shuran returned to the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, she found Han Ying and Mei waiting for her in the room. The two told Lin Shuran that the pair of assassins who assassinated Princess Qingyang last night had been rescued by them, and they were at Beiqiao Ya at the moment.
OK.
"Are they Fifth Uncle and Hong Gu?" Old Tao said a few days ago that the two of them were in good health. Could it be that they went to take revenge because Princess Qingyang was not dead?
Han Ying replied: "No, those who entered the princess's mansion last night to assassinate were Cao Su and his wife Yu Qianjiao, who are known as Huamian Taisui in the world. Yu Qianjiao also had white hair, and their martial arts skills were also outstanding in the world.
One of the best, but there were too many hidden masters in the Princess Mansion last night. If my subordinates and Mei hadn't rescued them, they would have been caught by now."
"Is it safe to travel to Beiqiao? Can I ask why these two people wanted to kill Princess Qingyang? Do they know your identities?" Lin Shuran asked.
Mei told Lin Shuran that he and Han Ying both wore black clothes and covered their faces when rescuing people. The reason why they were sent to Beiqiao Dental Shop was also requested by Cao Su and his wife, because they had been friends with the shopkeeper of Beiqiao Dental Shop for many years, and
The reason why the two of them were able to rush to rescue the couple in time was because the shop owner of the Beiqiao dental shop sent them a message and said that saving them would protect the safety of Uncle Wu and Aunt Hong.
Because the matter was urgent, they did not have time to ask Lin Shuran for instructions, and they encountered some troubles when rescuing people, so they only told Lin Shuran the truth now.
Lin Shuran didn't blame them. Beiqiao Yaxing and Fifth Uncle were inextricably linked. She was wondering if in order to protect the safety of Fifth Uncle and Hong Gu, the shopkeeper of Beiqiao Yaxing deliberately let people enter the princess's mansion again to assassinate her.
And he also showed his true face.
Soon, wanted notices were posted everywhere in the capital. The wanted portraits were of a man and a woman. They were the legendary Cao Su and his wife Yu Qianjiao. As for why these two assassinated Princess Qingyang, the notice stated
It was not stated clearly, but Lin Shuran soon discovered that people from the Criminal Department no longer monitored the fireworks chef, and no one appeared from time to time near the General's Mansion, Xu's Liquor Shop and the Southern Suburb Farm.
What's even more bizarre is that on the third day after another assassination in the princess's palace, a piece of paper and a letter written in blood appeared on the emperor's dragon case, accusing Princess Qingyang of secretly mining in Suzhou, not only killing workers but also killing innocent people.
They also arbitrarily forced young men into the mines, causing local people to complain and make their lives miserable.
The petition also stated that the heroes of the world couldn't stand the idea that people from the royal family would bully others and harm the people for their own gain. If the emperor did not thoroughly investigate the matter of Princess Qingyang's mine, there would be knights in the world who would make her pay the price and must eradicate this evil.
Women uphold justice for the people and eliminate violence and bring peace to the people.
Emperor Zhao You was very angry after reading the petition and Wanmin's blood letter. First, he was angry that Princess Qingyang, his aunt, was becoming more and more lawless. Second, he was angry that the people in the world did not take him as the emperor in their eyes and went in and out of the palace at will.
I was even more angry that those who were guarding the palace did not discover when and who sent the paper and blood letter. How could he, the emperor, be safe while living in the palace?
So, in the morning court, the emperor presented the petition and the blood letter to all the ministers, asking them if they knew what happened in Suzhou, but all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and kept silent, and no one stood up to say anything.
Zhao You glanced at the officials in the hall with cold eyes. He did not believe that no one knew what happened in Suzhou. This matter must be investigated clearly.
Therefore, Emperor Zhao You issued an imperial edict on the spot, allowing Prince Qing and Fang Lao Yushi's son, who had been reinstated, to go to Suzhou as an imperial envoy to investigate the matter. At the same time, he asked the Ministry of Punishment to make every effort to capture Huamian Taisui Cao Su and his wife.
, the emperor suspected that they were the ones who entered the palace to deliver the writs and blood letters.
Lin Shuran has been waiting at the mansion for Xu Junze to come back. Some news came out after the court this morning, and the Longjia Guards also went to the princess mansion. However, Princess Qingyang was seriously injured and could not enter the palace, and did not recognize the private mine in Qingzhou.
The field belongs to her, but it is said that someone deliberately framed her and asked the emperor to make the decision for her.
It is hard to tell what is right and what is wrong. After receiving the imperial edict, Prince Qing and Yushi Fang hurriedly left Beijing to go to Suzhou to find out the truth. The Ministry of Punishment actually also found out about the Beiqiao Dental Shop, but Xiao Chen did not discover it at the dental shop.
As for the traces of Cao Su and his wife, the Ministry of Punishment also posted their portraits everywhere in the Jin Dynasty, so they must be found.
"Why haven't you gone to bed to rest yet?" Xu Junze came back late and saw Lin Shuran waiting for him, so he asked aloud.
"Can't sleep!" Lin Shuran took the initiative to undress him, and then asked pretending to be curious, "Is the assassination case in the Princess Mansion really related to the incident in Suzhou? I have heard people say before that although Suzhou is poor, it is
There are many mountains, but I’ve never heard of mines!”
Seeing that she was curious about this matter, Xu Junze replied: "Although there is no official mine in Suzhou, there is a private mine there. It is a copper mine with mining rights licensed by the imperial court. Its original owner is
After the Ren family's accident, the imperial court took back the mine, and then signed a document with others to transfer the management rights of the mine."
In the Jin Dynasty, only private individuals could mine mines with the permission of the imperial court, and usually those mines were less valuable minerals, such as copper mines. Most of the gold, silver ore and iron mines were controlled by the imperial court and could easily be mined.
Private large-scale mining is not allowed.
"From the Ren family?" Lin Shuran became even more confused when she heard what Xu Junze said. Is the owner behind this mine actually Princess Qingyang? It is impossible for those Jianghu people to target Princess Qingyang for no reason.
Are family matters also related to Princess Qingyang?
Unexpectedly, Xu Junze then told Lin Shuran a shocking secret: "Ren Yong said that the Ren family had a copper mine in Qingzhou, but when they were mining a few years ago, experienced craftsmen discovered a copper mine in that mine.
Minerals containing more gold, there may be gold mines hidden in this copper mine, but very few people know about it, and before the head of the Ren family reported the matter to the court, something happened to the Ren family. Knowing this
Almost all the people involved in this incident died accidentally, and now the owner behind this mine is Princess Qingyang."
Seeing Xu Junze's affirmative tone and the seriousness in his expression, Lin Shuran suddenly understood and looked at him and said: "You had known that Princess Qingyang was the owner of the Suzhou Mine. Did she do anything about the Ren family?
Do you also have a share?"
Xu Junze did not explain this question clearly, but looking at the determined look in his eyes, Lin Shuran already knew the answer. So could King Ling's death also be related to Princess Qingyang?
