Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Dai Quan, the chief eunuch, murmured, "This servant also thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Lord Hou. Lord Hou is an upright person. Lord Hou disdains such indecent methods the most. How can he talk about himself? The servant feels that this time, Lord Hou I'm probably framed by someone."

Dai Quan was very impressed with Wang Jun, a young man with both civil and military skills. How could such a smart person choose to instigate someone to defile him on the night of his wedding?Especially this person whose innocence has been tainted had an old grievance with him before, isn't this intentional to make people doubt himself?

It is absolutely impossible for Wang Jun to do such a stupid thing.

The emperor was thoughtful when he heard the words, "So, Mu Chuan came to see me for this matter?"

He didn't care about Geng Jingxian's life or death, such a shameless woman would make him feel dirty just by looking at her.

But Wang Jun is the minister of the humerus that he has chosen to vigorously cultivate. The people behind him ruined Wang Jun's reputation so much, wouldn't they slap him in the face?

Dai Quan didn't answer, thinking that this matter might not be as simple as planting and framing.

"Please come in, Marquis Zhenwu."

The emperor didn't even want to ask Dai Quan for an answer, he already had an idea in his heart.

After entering the warm pavilion and paying homage to the emperor, Wang Jun expressed his purpose for coming.

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You want to assist Shuntian Mansion to thoroughly investigate this case?"

"Guangji Temple is a royal Buddhist temple. The dignitaries and even ladies will choose Guangji Temple to worship Buddha. Now someone dares to commit such evil deeds in the Royal Buddhist Temple. I think it must not be tolerated. Today is the second girl of the Nan'an Palace. Tomorrow I'm afraid it will endanger nobles with more valuable identities."

The palace is already extremely noble, and the only thing more noble than the palace is the royal family.

The emperor took a deep look at Wang Jun, and pondered, "This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the Shuntian Mansion. Aiqing is now newly married, so there is no need to get involved. I will definitely clear your name on this matter."

"The Qing is self-clearing, and I haven't done it, what are you afraid of?" Wang Jun said calmly, paused, frowned, and added with some hesitation, "I just think this matter is a bit strange, I'm afraid it's not simple. .”

Dai Quan raised his eyes to look at Wang Jun, then lowered his eyelids, as if he didn't hear.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Where did you say that?"

"It's a long story, and it may take a lot of time..." Wang Jun said.

Seeing this, the emperor put the booklet in his hand, and said seriously, "Just talk about it, you don't need to worry about time."

"Yes," Wang Jun bowed slightly, then stood up, and said, "This matter started a few months ago. At that time, I was just in high school, and it was the [-]th birthday of the old prince of Nan'an County. I want to participate, but the emperor also knows that my ancestors had good relations with the Jia family, the Shi family and the Xue family, the late Rong Gong was kind to my grandfather, and my eldest aunt also married the second political master of the Rongguo mansion , so the two families have a good relationship, at that time, the old lady of the Jia family asked my good friend Jia Lian to pass me a message, hoping that I would give her a face to attend the birthday banquet of the old prince of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, so I went."

The emperor knew that Wang Jun attended the birthday banquet of the old prince of Nan'an County, but he didn't know that there was such a secret in it, so he couldn't help but suddenly solved a doubt in his heart.

"Although I went to the birthday banquet, I have always been on guard. Although the Rongguo Mansion has always had a good relationship with the Nan'an Palace, it has no connection with the Chen family. Even if I don't go to the birthday banquet, it makes sense. Friendship, I didn't want to climb into their house, but not long after I arrived at the Nan'an Palace, a servant girl who claimed to be the old lady of the Nan'an Palace came to invite me over, saying that the old princess wanted to see me."

"The servant followed the servant girl, but found that the servant girl took the servant to detour, and walked around to the residence of the girls in Nan'an Palace, but the servant did not follow. This servant girl is not the maid beside the old princess at all, At that time, the minister thought that the girl next to the second girl of Nan'an Palace was shameless, so he shrugged off the girl and went back to the front, drinking with his acquaintances, who would have expected someone to shout overboard."

There was a bit of a smile in the emperor's eyes. He had heard about it. Wasn't it Wang Jun's current wife, Mrs. Zhou, who fell into the water?

"I think the emperor has heard about this for a long time, and the minister didn't mention it much, but does the emperor know that there was a person who jumped into the water to save someone at that time?"

The emperor knew that the important point was coming, and narrowed his eyes, "I heard that someone jumped into the water to save someone, but he didn't have the skill of Ai Qing." Then he was cut off.

Hearing this, Wang Jun smiled, "This person is Xie Jing, the eldest grandson of Xie Xian, Marquis of Dingcheng."

Thank you whale?

The emperor has some impressions of Xie Jing, this person seems to be in the Beijing camp, and...he got married two years ago, right?

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned.

Going into the water to save someone after getting married, is it saving or harming someone?

"You mean, it's this Xie Jing who instigated someone to harm someone behind his back this time?"

Wang Jun shook his head, "I just suspect that this incident has something to do with him, but it's not necessarily that he is behind the scenes."

He and Xie Jing have also met a few times, and feel that this person... Although he is sometimes stupid, he will not be so stupid as to instigate someone to go to the Royal Buddhist Temple to rape the noble lady of the palace. She was not expelled from the clan, and she is still the daughter of Nan'an Palace.

Since the death of the Marquis of Dingcheng, Xie Jin, the eldest son of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, Xie Jin has taken over the title. Although Xie Jin has some abilities, what can he do in this place in the capital?In particular, he was still demoted to the first rank.

"What do you mean, there is someone behind him?" The former virtuous king still had enough brains, and he immediately understood what Wang Jun meant.

Wang Jun raised his forehead, "Your majesty doesn't know, this minister Xie Jing has dealt with him several times, about two or three years ago, Xie Jing fell in love with the girl of the Zhang family, and because I had a close relationship with Master Zhang's nephew at that time, he became hostile. Chen, I believe that his feelings for the girl of the Zhang family cannot be faked. Maybe his heart is not pure enough, but he really loves the girl of the Zhang family. Two years ago, the girl of the Zhang family married Mrs. Chen, the Minister of Dali Temple. The only son, Xie Jing also married a wife soon."

"Although I don't like Xie Jing's narrow-mindedness, I can't say anything bad about him. His character has no major flaws. Everyone has shortcomings. What Xie Jing cares most about is his own future and reputation, but this This time he went into the water to save people. Knowing that he was married, he went into the water to save people like this. In the eyes of outsiders, he was taking advantage of others' danger, and he would not lose a good reputation. How could he not hesitate to destroy his own reputation? Save people? Unless..."

Unless someone promises a huge profit!

The emperor frowned, "Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

"What does the emperor think is wrong?"

Did he not speak clearly enough?

The emperor glanced at Wang Jun, and said, "If someone promised Xie Jing to go into the water to save people, then Zhou's falling into the water is not an accident, it is very likely that he was plotted against."

"The emperor is wise!" Wang Jun bowed and praised, "The minister's wife, Mrs. Zhou, was conspired to fall into the water, and the instigator behind the scenes is Geng Jingxian."

emperor:"……"

and many more!

Geng Jingxian designed Zhou's family to fall into the water, and then promised a lot of money to let Xie Jing go into the water to save people, plus the Buddhist temple was polluted and innocent, the successive methods were exactly the same.

but!

Can Geng Jingxian be so cruel?To slander and frame Wang Jun at the expense of his own innocence?

See the emperor's expression.Hesitating to speak, Wang Jun realized that the emperor had misunderstood him as soon as he thought about it.

Helplessly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the rape of the Buddhist temple was not instigated by Geng Jingxian."

"Didn't you say that there is something else wrong with this matter?" The emperor frowned, and his mind was a little lost. "You said that the rape of Geng Jingxian was related to Xie Jing, and Xie Jing had someone behind him. It’s Geng Jingxian, so the Buddhist temple was made by Geng Jingxian herself?”

"The emperor misunderstood," Wang Jun laughed, "I just said that it was Geng Jingxian who framed my wife Zhou Shi into the water, but I didn't say that it was Geng Jingxian who promised a lot of money to let Xie Jing go into the water to save her."

This……

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "Wait a minute, let me think about it."

"Your Majesty, although Geng Jingxian is vicious, she has never been vicious towards herself. It can even be said that all the vicious things she did were for her own sake. A selfish woman like her is not cruel at all. Might be willing to make such a big sacrifice to frame me."

The emperor frowned and thought, he and Geng Jingxian are actually old acquaintances, but Geng Jingxian always likes to support the ninth younger brother, and also likes to praise the ninth younger brother and trample others, so naturally he will not have a good impression.

After thinking about it, he realized that what Wang Jun said was absolutely correct.

This woman, Geng Jingxian, is indeed quite selfish. She does everything from her own point of view without considering others.

"Who do you think did it?"

Wang Jun smiled wryly, "If I knew about it, I would have gone directly to the prefect of Shuntian Mansion to arrest him. Why would I come here to ask the emperor, please let me participate in the investigation of this case?"

emperor:"……"

You are right, but I am speechless.

"However, I suspect that the person behind the scenes has something to do with the Nan'an County Palace. Geng Jingxian's plan to frame the minister's wife was just a moment of anger, and she didn't think about the consequences. He made a marriage. The people behind the scenes must be very familiar with Geng Jingxian's way of doing things, and they deliberately stared at Geng Jingxian, and after Geng Jingxian made a move to plot against the minister's wife, they resolutely used their interests to lure Xie Jing into the water to save her."

The emperor listened and felt that something was wrong, "According to what you said, this person should be targeting Geng Jingxian. How could he promise a lot of money to let Xie Jing go to save her? Isn't this targeting your wife who has already married?"

"So, I still suspect that this person also has old grievances with the Zhou family, but who it is still needs to be investigated."

The emperor rubbed his forehead and felt a pain in his forehead. After hearing so much from Wang Jun, his head grew a little bigger, "Forget it, since you insist, I will accept you," he said, looking at Dai Quan, "Dai Quan, You take Mu Chuan to Shuntian Mansion, and say that I asked Mu Chuan to assist him in handling the case."

"The slave obeys the order!"

"I thank the emperor for your kindness!"

Coming out of the Nuan Pavilion, Dai Quan led Wang Jun out of the palace without saying a word on the way.

Dai Quan dutifully brought Wang Jun to Shuntian Mansion, found the magistrate, took the emperor's words with him, and left.

The magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, surnamed Jiang, has passed his forties now, and has grown a beard. He doesn't look like a middle-aged man in his early forties, but an old man in his early fifties.

"Does Hou Ye know what's going on?" Zhifu Jiang's hair was turning gray. Nan'an Palace put pressure on him to catch the murderer as soon as possible. The corpses of people were broken into pieces.
