Chapter 49 The Eagle Claw of the Ministry of Punishment
In the gloom of night, a long black shadow stood at the door. It seemed to be a stick growing out of his waist. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a long sword inserted obliquely in his waist, elongated by the shadow.
Apart from the sound of insects in the ruined courtyard, there was only an unnerving silence around.
The long black shadow moved, cupped his hands slightly, and said politely towards the door: "The warden Zuo Luanming of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, under the order of the prime minister and the minister, respectfully invites Yong Jinhou to come and cooperate with the investigation. disturb!"
The light in the room illuminated her upper body, allowing people to see her face clearly, her tight jawline, and a pair of eyes that are small in proportion but extremely restrained and focused, shining like an eagle.
People inside and outside the door could clearly hear how shocked this person was at the house, including the little girl in pink who had just turned into the yard.
The walking steps followed the voice and retreated back, standing in the corner of the wall without moving, but his eyes sneaked in the direction of Zuo Luanming.
"Is there anything I have to go now, can't I deal with it tomorrow? It's getting late, Master Hou should eat and go to bed. Wherever you come from, tell the person who sent you, Master Hou is not going!" Without waiting for Qiu Nanpeng to speak, Liu Yilan propped herself up and sat stiffly, and said irritably, "See off the guests!"
"Mother, please let someone finish the sentence first. Since the Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment jointly invited it, it must be a big deal." Qiu Nanpeng frowned, not giving his mother any face.
Ignoring Liu Yilan's words, Qiu Nanpeng turned around and asked Zuo Luanming in a warm voice: "Lord Zuo, I wonder if I could remind you a little bit, what case did those two adults invite me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice late at night?"
The only thing he could think of was Yi Lian's case, because he was the one who got in by reporting and exposing the person. Once the evidence of the crime was confirmed, the boy's life would definitely be lost.
But he didn't think that this case alone was enough to stir up such a big battle.
After hearing his question, Zuo Luanming looked hesitant, glanced at the people in his yard, and finally said in a business-like tone: "Your Majesty will know when you go, I'm sorry I have a duty, so I won't disclose it." .”
"What's inconvenient to disclose, let me tell you! But what kind of prestige is a mere warden playing in my Yongjin Hou Mansion?" Liu Yilan's brows stood erect, and her face was red and swollen, not knowing whether it was from anger or other reasons. , appearing to have a bigger head.
"Mother, calm down! The doctor said that it is not suitable for you to be angry now." After Qiu Nanpeng comforted him, he quickly turned his head and winked at Zuo Luanming, "Master Zuo, please go ahead, I will leave as soon as I finish changing my clothes."
"Since that's the case, I will wait for Lord Hou at the gate of the waiting mansion." Zuo Luanming's expression did not change, he bowed slightly, and led the few people behind him to retreat.
Under the plum blossom tree at the entrance of the courtyard, the maidservant in pink stared helplessly at Zuo Luanming and his party as they passed by her, and then disappeared from sight.
Seeing Zuo Luanming's legendary koi black official uniform with his own eyes, and the disciplined small team behind him, he seemed to have seen some shocking news, with surprise, curiosity and secret excitement written in his eyes.
Although the masters they serve are also relatives of the emperor, they are unspeakably expensive.But apart from the three-acre land in the Hou's mansion, many of them don't know the world outside the courtyard walls. For some short-lived maids, they may never step out of the Hou's mansion in their entire lives.
The only way to know what's going on outside is to listen to the stories of some older mothers, or occasionally when Xi Yuanzi comes to wait for the mansion to sing operas and talk about storytelling.While serving their master, they can also listen to wonderful things.
The image of the Ministry of Punishment created and circulated in the storybook is comparable to the existence of Hell Yama.In their ears, the word Xingbu was synonymous with mystery, power, blood and terror.And just now, Yan Luo's eagle claws came to their residence and passed by her.
scared her to death.
However, the purpose of Eagle Claw from the Ministry of Punishment was to invite Lord Hou to the Ministry of Punishment.According to the plot in the drama book, people who went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice generally never returned.
The pink-clothed maid stared wide-eyed, and hurried back the same way, forgetting to bring in the things in her hand.
All she could think of was... She had to tell her master the news quickly.
He trotted all the way to the Luoxia Courtyard, and walked through the corridor. As soon as the footsteps stopped at the door of the main building, there was a faint sound of dragging the iron chain and inquiries inside.
"Did the snacks be sent out? Did you make it clear that I made it myself? What kind of reaction did my mother receive... She must have laughed. If she laughed, can she let me go out?"
The door was opened by the people inside, and the sound of the iron chain stopped.
The little girl in pink was stunned by the question, her body stiffened.
The basket in her right hand was extremely heavy. She lowered her head and couldn't see the expression of the person in front of her. She could only see a long black iron chain spreading out of the house and disappearing under the white skirt.
"Miss Three..."
Qiu Lingxiao's gloomy gaze shifted from the basket to the little girl's nervous face: "Why are the things still there? What did you do just now?"
Just before the storm came, the little girl in pink exploded with unprecedented potential, plopped down on her knees and said clearly: "Return to Miss, the servant has arrived at the place and was about to offer snacks, but there is a bigger discovery, it is very likely It is related to the earth-shaking changes in your future, miss. The two sides weigh the pros and cons, so come back and report to you, miss, and it will not be too late to send it after you know."
After a while of silence, Qiu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, let go of the door frame, and walked into the room: "Tell me and listen."
The little girl in pink breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Xinglan, if Miss Ben finds out that you are lying, you know what the consequences will be." Qiu Lingxiao sat back on the beauty bed, retracted her feet, hugged a gray doll and stared at her quietly, as if hibernating the beast.
Xinglan just stood up, and after hearing this, cold sweat broke out again.
"I know, of course I know. How dare a servant lie to you, miss." Xinglan showed a sincere smile, stepped into the room, and whispered something secretly in Qiu Lingxiao's ear as if she had made a major discovery.
Qiu Lingxiao's pupils shrank: "Is this true?"
"Of course! The servant saw it with his own eyes, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment passed in front of the servant, and the distance was only three feet away."
"But it was Qiu Nanpeng who was taken away, not my mother." Qiu Lingxiao unconsciously grabbed the puppet in her hand, and she didn't notice that the thin threads connecting her arms showed signs of being unraveled.
Qiu Lingxiao's eyes were gloomy: "What does this have to do with my earth-shattering future, and I can't let me untie this damn chain and go out through the door."
"Last time, it was just a prank that went a little too far. My mother is so angry that she won't let me go out to cause trouble for her, and even tie me with a dog chain. It's really troublesome. It's okay to be angry for so long."
After hearing her muttering, Xinglan's first reaction was that it made sense.But after thinking about those stupid things that Miss San did, it would be better if she was locked up.
And... She still hasn't realized what Hou Ye's being taken away means to her.
Xinglan was hesitating whether to tell Miss San about her discovery and judgment, so she met Shangqiu Lingxiao's cold eyes, "So, what kind of important discovery is this? Mademoiselle?"
Back stiffened, Xinglan waved her hands again and again: "Of course not, Miss, please think about it carefully, think deeply."
"What do people from the Ministry of Punishment do? They investigate cases, and it's a major case. This time, the Prime Minister and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment jointly invited people. At this hour, it must be a big deal. Lord Hou must be in big trouble."
"...So?" Qiu Lingxiao frowned, thinking about something, "Even if Qiu Nanpeng gets into a case, nothing will happen. Anyway, my mother will go to the palace to intercede for him."
"But this time it's different."
"What's the difference?"
"Madam is bedridden now. I heard that she was attacked by an assassin in her yard in the afternoon. She was very frightened. The people in the yard were injured, but luckily no one died."
"Is there such a thing?" Qiu Lingxiao's eyes flashed, with an incomprehensible emotion.
"Yes." Xinglan nodded again and again, "That's why I said that Master Hou really got into trouble this time."
As Xinglan spoke, she looked around, leaned closer and whispered in Qiu Lingxiao's ear: "If Lord Marquis dies, the next candidate to attack the noble is Miss San, isn't it?"
The pupils shrank violently and dilated again with excitement. Qiu Lingxiao stared at Xinglan in shock, as if he knew her for the first time: "Yes, Miss Ben didn't expect that."
If she were to inherit the title, she would become Marquis of Yongjin!
Who can stop her from going out through the door?
Not even a mother can...
"Third Miss just needs to understand." Xinglan was completely relieved, and at the same time secretly happy in her heart.
She was assigned to serve the third lady less than half a year, and she was promoted from a sweeping maid to an errand maid, and now it is because of this credit.In the future, Miss San's feet will be released. If she really inherits the title, she will naturally rise with the tide. If she becomes a personal maid, she can follow the master to wait outside the mansion.
Different from the strict and lifeless house, you can see the bustle and prosperity outside the high courtyard wall.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the third lady can become the Marquis of Yongjin, so she will devote all her efforts to this goal.
As soon as Xinglan finished swearing secretly in her heart, Xinglan heard a voice above her head: "Very good, Xinglan, the news you sent today is very useful. I want you to be my personal maid, so I will only listen to you." The command."
"Miss Xie San thinks highly of you, this servant will definitely not disappoint you." Xinglan was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Subservant, go down now, and then I will ask you for Miss."
Qiu Lingxiao nodded in satisfaction: "Go ahead."
……
Early the next morning, Qiu Lingxiao just woke up.Xinglan came to report the latest news: "Master Hou went last night, and he never returned. I heard that the evidence is convincing, and all the adults went to witness at the same time. The prime minister is present to uphold justice, and we must not resort to deceit."
"It is also said that the Tai Tuo will sue the imperial court in the early court today, begging the emperor to enforce the law impartially, and ask the Marquis to return his life. Madam spit blood on the spot after hearing this, and she fainted from anger after scolding the old man .”
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"Go on and keep an eye on your mother's movements." Qiu Lingxiao yawned, and immediately cheered up when he heard the news.When he stood up, he was annoyed by the rattling sound of dragging the iron chain, "By the way, find an ax for Miss Ben."
Xinglan knew what she wanted the ax to do, but she didn't dare to agree: "It's fine to keep an eye on it, but with so many sisters and mothers watching outside, it's too difficult for slaves to secretly bring in the axe."
"That's your business, no matter how you get it in."
Xinglan gritted her teeth, "Yes, this servant must complete the task."
A quarter of an hour later, Xinglan was arrested and the ax was confiscated.
Qiu Lingxiao was so angry that she threw away all the things in the room. She was very mad after being locked up for a long time, and now she reached a critical point.
Outside, there were mostly mothers and maids who obeyed Liu Yilan, as if they had long been used to listening to Qiu Lingxiao going crazy inside.But after waiting for a while, there was no sound inside, and they panicked instead.
When he opened the door, he saw Qiu Lingxiao lying on the ground, life and death unknown.
Everyone's complexion changed.
"Quick, go and inform Madam!"
