A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 246 What is so mysterious?
As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.
Hiding something disrespectful is a capital offense, and a concubine of the Li family was actually involved.
Emperor Xuande's face also darkened a bit, "What a disrespectful thing? Do you know what it is? What is the identity of the person Li Yunzhou is protecting?"
Su Chengyan knelt down and replied, "I don't know what's in the carriage. That person is Lin Wanyin, the current owner of Lin's Trading Company in Northern Zhili. She used to be the wife of Marquis Pingning."
It was surprising enough that this matter involved Li Yunzhou, but it also involved the people from Pingning Marquis' Mansion who had already divorced.
The important thing is that she is also Mr. Shen Ge's mother-in-law.
At this time, not only the civil and military officials, but also the emperor gave Shen Zhixiu a meaningful look.
Shen Zhixiu still stood there without raising his eyelids.
The matter was so important that Emperor Xuande asked Su Chengyan to explain in detail what was going on.
Su Chengyan came prepared and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I inspected the city gate as usual yesterday. Lin Wanyin arrived at the city gate with a dozen followers and five carts of goods. As soon as she arrived, someone quietly reported to me that there was something disrespectful in her cart. ."
"I was shocked at the time and prepared to check. If she didn't find it, I would naturally let her go. But she tried to evade it in every possible way and just didn't want to let me check. Seeing her panic, I knew that this was probably true."
"Just when I was about to conduct a forced inspection, Li Yunzhou, the fourth young master of the Li family, came and pushed me to the ground. I fell backwards and fainted."
"I don't know why Young Master Li Si didn't let me investigate. But I can see one thing clearly: these two people look panicked."
After Su Chengyan finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and waited for the emperor to resign.
Emperor Xuande remained silent for a long time with a sullen face.
The so-called disrespectful things are unlucky things that harm the emperor or the royal family. Starting from Emperor Taizu, it was a capital offense to hide something disrespectful.
The last time this happened was when the late emperor was on the throne. Because of a dragon robe stained with chicken blood, the emperor was furious and buried countless corpses.
Therefore, all the courtiers did not dare to say anything at this time, and even the officials in Liu Ke Lang who usually talked the most had the wisdom to shut their mouths at this time.
Emperor Xuande looked at Chen Zheng, "What did Chen Aiqing say?"
Chen Zheng walked to the middle of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, it's difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter yet. To catch thieves and seize stolen goods, we have to find out the things first."
Emperor Xuande asked Shen Zhixiu again, "Shen Qing, please tell me."
Shen Zhixiu also walked to the middle of the hall and stood half a step behind Chen Zheng.
"Replying to the emperor, what Mr. Chen said makes sense. You have to see things first. If there is anything really disrespectful, let the Ministry of Punishment investigate it carefully."
Emperor Xuande thought for a while and said, "The order was sent to Fu Yi, the commander of the Long Imperial Guard, to personally lead people to search Lin Wanyin's residence."
"Everything brought back to Beijing yesterday will be carefully searched, and anything suspicious will be brought into the palace."
"Announcement of Li Jingchuan, Yongjia, Li Yunzhou, and Lin Wanyin entering the palace."
Shen Zhixiu, who was standing aside, lowered his head and looked solemnly. If it was a frame-up, his people would probably find out. It's just... I don't know if I can handle it properly.
At this time, the Zhongyihou Mansion on Zhuque Street in Xicheng was welcoming two uninvited guests.
Su Qingyu and her mother Lin Wanyin were sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Jade behind them was holding a box over two feet high in her hands.
Lin Wanyin looked around and thought that the Loyalty Marquis Mansion was indeed the top family in the capital. Just by looking at the layout of the hall for entertaining guests, one could tell the family's heritage.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Song from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion walked in surrounded by her maids and wives. There is also a beautiful woman beside him, Mrs. Wang, the wife of Marquis Zhongyi.
The old lady of the Song family wore a red turban with a blessing and longevity pattern, a forehead mop, and a transparent mutton-fat warm jade hairpin in her hair.
Among the old ladies from big families in the capital, Mrs. Song was the first in line. After all, she is the emperor's mother-in-law, and everyone who sees her must respect her.
Su Qingyu and Lin Wanyin stood up and saluted Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhongyihou.
Shen Zhixiu and Marquis Zhongyi were considered brothers, so Su Qingyu called Mrs. Song aunt.
"Niece-in-law, sit down quickly, you are a rare visitor." Mrs. Song said with a smile, and then looked at Lin Wanyin, "How are Mrs. Lin's days these days? We have met before at the funeral of the old man of the Su family."
Mrs. Song was surprised. The mother and daughter suddenly came to visit. There must be something wrong, right?
Lin Wanyin leaned forward and said, "Yes, the old lady has a really good memory."
Mrs. Song smiled and sighed, "As I get older, I still remember things in the past clearly, but I forget much about recent things."
Su Qingyu smiled and joked, "You are always joking. I see that your hair has not even turned gray, so you are getting old."
The old lady is in her sixties, and her hair is still black and shiny, with only a few white hairs here and there. She doesn't look old.
After a few more pleasantries, Su Qingyu found the right moment and said, "Auntie, I'm here to give you something."
This thing was a hot potato to her, but to the Song family, it was something they cared about deeply.
The old lady didn't know why, "What makes it so mysterious?"
Su Qingyu signaled Jade to come forward, and she stood up and opened the big agarwood box. Inside was a statue of Guanyin.
Su Qingyu carefully took out the Guanyin statue and placed it on the nanmu square table next to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wang were both shocked, especially Mrs. Song, who burst into tears as she stared at the Guanyin statue.
"Zi Ning...my son..."
The former empress' maiden name was Song Zining. She accompanied the emperor on a southern tour that year, and Luoyang was hit by a flood. The former empress was kind and had been running around to provide disaster relief.
Later, the people of Luoyang asked people to build this statue of Guanyin and enshrined it in the White Horse Temple.
The appearance of the Guanyin statue is the same as that of the former empress.
Su Qingyu felt a little unbearable when she looked at Mrs. Song who was holding the Guanyin statue and crying bitterly. But she could only bring this thing to the Song family.
As soon as Shen Zhixiu went to court this morning, Jiang Qi, who was guarding Yushu Hutong, went back to report that someone had put something into the carriage that returned to Beijing yesterday.
Lin Wanyin hadn't packed up those carriages yet, and the goods were all packed intact.
Su Qingyu immediately felt that this was unusual, and quietly went to Yushu Hutong in a carriage.
When she saw clearly that there was a Buddha statue full of stains inside, she was so frightened that her whole body shivered.
She had seen this Buddha statue in her previous life. Zhao Ziyi, the censor of the right capital of the Ducha Yuan, had all the people in his family beheaded because of this Buddha statue. As for Zhao Ziyi's daughter, she has been the crown prince's concubine in her past and present lives.
After much thought, she decided to clean the statue and send it to the Song family. As for the original location of the carriage, she had already made arrangements.
Mrs. Song, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law cried a lot, then held back their grief and shed their tears. Another maid came forward to help the two of them freshen up.
The old lady calmed down and looked at Su Qingyu and her daughter.
"I'll make you laugh. A few years ago, people from White Horse Temple told me that the late Queen's Buddha body was suddenly lost. My family searched for it for several years, but no trace was found."
"Where did you find it?"
