Chapter 63 Dali Temple Investigation
Everyone present now doesn’t care much about the theme of today’s banquet. There will always be opportunities for such things in the future. Now everyone’s focus is on whether Takeshiro is really dead. ? And how did he die?
Is it an accident? Or homicide?
Li Sanniang noticed that the girl in a green dress who was startled and fell down on the carpet seemed not only startled, but more like she was shocked. He was shivering.
Although autumn has already begun, the autumn tiger is still there. The sun is still a little bit hot after noon, and there is a slight breeze, but it is not enough to make people shiver from the cold.
Previously, the girl in the green dress was dancing as accompaniment, and the girl playing the pipa had already been helped down by her maid. Now, the girl in the green dress still suddenly fell down on the carpet in the middle, which is really shocking. Puzzled.
Before Li Sanniang could take a closer look at the green girl's appearance, her maid finally appeared, carefully stepped forward to lift her up and moved back.
At this time, Li Sanniang couldn't help but go up and grab people to look at. Although Li Sanniang suspected that this woman was the woman who had an affair in the garden, in fact, Li Sanniang and Xu Jingzhen were on a rockery platform that was as tall as one person. When she went up to look at the man and woman opposite, because they were too far apart, Li Sanniang could only see a vague outline with her eyesight, and the specific appearance was not clear.
However, Li Sanniang had a feeling in her heart that the girl in the green dress must be Rou Niang.
Thinking of this, Li Sanniang suddenly raised her head and looked towards the male guest, trying to find where Xu Jingzhen had gone. Li Sanniang always felt that he should know who Rou Niang and Lin Lang were.
Before Li Sanniang could find Xu Jingzhen's whereabouts, the two boys, who were kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, were dragged away by the nurse who was urgently called by the maid.
At the same time, Princess Anding's maid also came forward to say that Princess Anding suddenly felt unwell. The banquet is over. All ladies and gentlemen, please leave. I will post to you next time when I have the opportunity.
After the maid finished speaking, she waved her hand and the little girls and maids from the Duke of Liang's Mansion who were hiding nearby came out to take the guests away one by one. Li Sanniang was walking back and forth with the little girls at the same table. But before he had taken a few steps, he felt that his predecessors were stalling.
Li Sanniang raised her head and looked forward in confusion, only to realize that it was Di Shaoqing who was wearing a round-collared official robe and an official hat in front of him. Next to him was the chief registrar of Dali Temple who had gone to the Li family to question him before. Wang Jian and Dali Temple Si Zhisu rose.
Li Sanniang also saw more than 20 government servants wearing narrow-sleeved, round-collared military robes with swords. They should be people from the Ministry of Justice. Sure enough, after the government servants with swords blocked everyone's departure, she never treated them. A man also wearing a scarlet official robe walked out, followed by three people in green official robes.
It seems that Li Sanniang has no hope of going home on time today.
Although Li Sanniang didn’t know who the dead Wu Silang was, she probably had something to do with Emperor Wu. Otherwise, if only a man named Wu died, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would be dispatched.
Ordinary men with the surname Wu would not receive such treatment. Li Sanniang, who is not in the officialdom, understands the truth.
So, this Shiro named Wu must have an unusual relationship with Emperor Wu. Li Sanniang guessed that there is a high probability that this person will be Emperor Wu's nephew.
Seeing this situation, Li Sanniang was very suspicious. Could it be that someone from the Yushitai was also coming, and finally there would be a three-division interrogation for the truth?
Li Sanniang, a little transparent person, just followed the little girls around her and waited aside, watching the negotiations between Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, Princess Anding, and people from the Duke of Liang's Mansion.
After a while, Li Sanniang saw no new people in official robes coming. It seemed that Yushitai would not intervene in this matter.
However, those who did not wait to come to the Yushitai did wait for the current Duke of Liang and the eldest son of Duke Liang.
Finally, after the discussion of several powerful speakers, everyone present was divided into men and women and moved to different rooms. They were asked one by one before they were allowed to leave.
When Liang Guogong came forward to tell everyone about this arrangement, Li Sanniang was very surprised. The high-ranking nobles present had no objection?
The ladies have no objections, so forget it. After all, there are only a few female officials now, but most of them are still in Emperor Wu's harem, and there are only one or two female officials who can walk in the former dynasty. Most girls are still old enough to marry into a well-matched family.
The princes present today are all sons and daughters of high-ranking noble families in Chang'an City. They may not be the eldest sons, and they may not inherit a certain title, but none of them A young man will become an official in the court in the future. No matter how big or small he is, he is still an official.
But at this time, they did not protest against the fact that they were under house arrest, especially the questioning, and they actually tolerated it?
Li Sanniang regretted it very much at this time. If she had known that there would be so many things today, when she came to the banquet, she should have said hello to Mr. Bad, the bad guy, and asked for some intelligence information. Now Li Sanniang didn't know anything, she was confused and a little panicked.
It can be guessed that Wu Shirou or a close relative of Emperor Wu must have had something happen before, and the trouble was so big that everyone present had no objection to it, and it could even be said that it was kept secret.
Li Sanniang doesn’t believe that among the aunts, grandfathers or brothers in these families, there are fourth- and fifth-grade officials wearing scarlet official robes, and even husbands of high-ranking officials wearing purple robes. Afraid of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
Even high-ranking nobles dare not have objections. Who here dares to have objections?
Li Sanniang, along with these little girls, was assigned to a guest room in a courtyard next to the garden.
The Duke of Liang's Mansion didn't treat anyone harshly. Just after finding a chair in the room and sitting down for a moment, a little girl came in carrying a tea tray. The little girl behind was also carrying a food box and said, "Who are you?" If your guest is hungry, please give him snacks first.
Afterwards, another maid came over and said that if there were any girls who wanted to change, please come behind the screen.
Li Sanniang took a piece of snacks with her tea and thought to herself that after taking so much trouble to separate the people who came to the banquet, it looked like the case was about to be closed that day. It won't be over until we light up the lamp today.
When she came here just now, Li Sanniang noticed that there were two government officials with knives guarding the door outside each guest courtyard, in case anyone took the opportunity to escape.
Li Sanniang was sitting by herself thinking about something when a voice sounded in her ears, "Ms. Li Sanniang, it's really you!"
Li Sanniang looked up and realized it was Gao Yahui from the Gao family, " Miss Gao, it’s such a coincidence that you and I are in the same room.”
The two of them seemed to be reunited after a long absence. They stood up to greet each other and sat at the table together to chat.
"I didn't look carefully. If I had discovered that Mrs. Gao was here earlier, I would have looked for you earlier. How is your sister-in-law?"
"Lao Sanniang is worried about my sister-in-law. Everything is fine now, I am eating well and sleeping at home, and I don’t feel any discomfort at all.”
Speaking of this, Gao Yahui leaned close to Li Sanniang and whispered: “I posted a message to my family a long time ago, but it came out later. I didn't want to come to such a thing, but my grandma said that officialdom matters have nothing to do with our girls in the backyard. Since I didn't come back before, I should come here now. ”
Li Sanniang nodded to express her understanding.
Although there is an age difference between the two, Gao Yahui was not very popular among the noble ladies in Chang'an City because of her grandfather's official position and her own figure. She did not have any close friends, but since she met Li Sanniang, she felt that Li Sanniang Although she is a girl who has returned home after leaving, she is actually much more interesting and sincere than those fake ladies in Chang'an City.
In this way, Gao Yahui is also willing to talk to Li Sanniang.
