NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 248 Disaster of the Yuan Family
When she saw Yuan Mochen asking about her physical condition at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, she quickly changed the subject and asked Yuan Mochen about the situation of movable type printing. As soon as he heard her ask about this, Yuan Mochen's eyes immediately lit up and he said excitedly: "Sister, the movable type printing you mentioned is really feasible. I have already carved all the characters of the Three-Character Sutra. King Yu will give it to me." I introduced a bookseller, and we have already agreed on cooperation, and we will start printing when the place is ready!"
When Yuan Chuyi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded happily. It seemed that this boy was very pragmatic.
"If you don't go to our prince when you have something to do, why are you going to trouble King Yu?" This made Yuan Chuyi puzzled. He was also worried that if Yuan Mochen got close to King Yu, King Yu would make a mistake at some point. She told him about her poisoning.
"Sister, I misunderstood. I was looking for a bookseller on the street with Qingyun that day, and then I happened to meet King Yu. He happened to know a bookseller, so he introduced me to it." Yuan Mochen thought that Yuan Chuyi was worried about him. Go and cause trouble to King Yu.
It's better that the two of them don't meet often.
Yuan Chuyi felt relieved and told Yuan Mochen some things, and asked him to go back with Shiliu and Shitou.
Let’s talk about Xiao Jing and Nanzhong Yu. They took Jin and Yuan Xiuyu back to the Yamen and immediately interrogated them. Jin and Yuan Xiuyu didn't expect that the matter would be revealed so quickly, but they soon insisted that Bai Lan had framed the incident. They had no idea that Bai Lan ordered someone to poison Yuan Chuyi.
Bai Lan could not have imagined that the mother and daughter would put all the blame on themselves. What a serious crime it was to murder the princess. In addition to losing her own head, she was afraid that other members of the family would also be killed.
"Your Highness Mingjian, this servant was really coerced and instigated by the Jin family and Miss Yuan to let Xiaoling poison the princess. I know that the miss has other poisons hidden in the secret room of her room. I don't believe it. You can search!" Bai Ban said eagerly.
"Take us to search immediately!"
Nangong Yu immediately asked Bai Lan to be taken to the Yuan family and went to Yuan Xiuyu's residence to conduct a search. In order to prevent Bai Lan from being silenced, Xiao Jing also asked Lou Xingyun and Xuan Yue to go together to keep an eye on her.
Yuan Wenjing looked at the menacing official officials and knew that the Jin mother and daughter had really caused a big disaster this time. But he is also an old official who has been an official for many years. When facing these official officials, he still wants to use his own face to stop them.
"My lords, after all, I am also a veteran of two dynasties. Although I have become an official, I still have some dignity in the court. Even the emperor gives me a bit of dignity. What is the reason for you to barge into my home with such force?" He said. He stood in the courtyard and tried to prevent the officials from entering the courtyard.
The official looked at him and couldn't help but sneered, "Sir, the emperor or your lords might have given you some face in the past, but now Mrs. Yuan and Miss San in your residence are suspected of murdering the princess, which is a heinous crime. Do you think you can still get away with it alone?" Continue to be your elder statesman!"
"Conspiracy to kill the princess!" Yuan Wenjing heard this and felt like a bolt from the blue. This is not an ordinary crime. If it is serious enough, it will kill all the nine tribes. "My lord, please don't slander me. My granddaughter is waiting for you in the boudoir." How could such a beautiful lady do such a thing!"
The official sneered and unfolded the search warrant personally signed by Nangong Yu for Yuan Wenjing to read, "Master Yuan, your third lady has confessed in Dali Temple. The evidence that she and Mrs. Yuan Jin murdered the princess is conclusive. I I'm just here to collect physical evidence under orders, so please don't stop me, otherwise you'll be considered an accomplice!"
As the officer spoke, he pushed Yuan Wenjing aside, aggressively pushed away all the onlookers from the Yuan family, and led Bai Lan straight to Yuan Xiuyu's room. Yuan Wenjing wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by the officer behind him.
"After all, I am also a scholar of Hanlin University. You can't search my mansion so recklessly!" Yuan Wenjing shouted angrily.
"If the elders are not worried about our search, you can go with us to search, but if you dare to stop us from searching for physical evidence, then you will be punished even more!" The official said coldly and continued to escort Bai Lan to Yuan Dynasty. Xiuyu's room.
Lou Xingyun and Xuan Yue glanced at Yuan Wenjing coldly and followed the officials.
"There is a secret compartment in the young lady's room. At that time, I secretly saw her take out the bottle of poison from that secret compartment and give it to me." Bai Lan pointed to a group of Duobao pavilions next to the dressing table in Yuan Xiuyu's room. said.
Xuan Yue immediately stepped forward to investigate and found the mechanism without much effort. When the secret cabinet was opened, they not only saw some gold and silver jewelry, but also four small porcelain bottles and a doll full of needles. Xuan Yue picked up the doll and took a look. Yuan Chu Yi's name and her birthday were clearly written on it.
The official took the puppet and held it up to Yuan Wenjing, saying:
"Master Yuan, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say now."
Yuan Wenjing looked at the puppet, and his face suddenly lost all color.
"Come here, take all the Yuan family members back and wait for their fate."
"Dear officials, we are just rural relatives living in their house. His family's affairs have nothing to do with us. Please let me go!" Yuan Wenyuan and others knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Relatives!" The official ignored them. "Since they are relatives, we must take them back." He ordered his subordinates, "Take away everything in the house and seal up the Yuan family's residence. We will not release you until your Excellency's trial."
"Yes!" The official of Dali Temple immediately escorted all the masters and servants of the Yuan family, old and young, out of the house. After sealing the gate of the Yuan family, they escorted all the Yuan family members back to Dali Temple.
Neighbors gathered around the alley and started talking, "What crime did the old Yuan family commit? Why were they all taken away by the officials? Even the mansion was sealed!"
"Before, the head mother and the third wife of their family were taken away in a prison van. Now their whole family has been taken away. It seems that the charges are not small!"
"I heard that some princess was murdered!"
"Isn't the eldest daughter of the second wife of their Yuan family Princess An? Could it be that their family murdered Princess An?"
"That's very possible. After all, their family has never treated the orphan of the second wife as a relative."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this whole family is so heartless!"
Yuan Wenjing felt extremely sad as he listened to the comments from the neighbors. He never imagined that the Yuan family was such a heinous villain in the eyes of the neighbors. Why hadn't he noticed it before? Regret now, I'm afraid it's too late!
Yuan Xiuyu originally had a sense of luck, thinking that her secret grid was very secretive and they would definitely not be able to find it. But she didn't expect that they would come back not long after they went out. Not only did they get two other bottles of poison that she had not yet had time to use, but they also had a puppet of the Yizha villain from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty as evidence.
