Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 493 The Truth
Fang Zilan's hand holding the umbrella handle trembled a little, "Why did Ding report on Lianniang at this time? Could it be that the Pei family wanted to cast a scapegoat and save Pei Poming?"

"Jingzhaoyin's house is still under trial, but I heard that Ding's family was forced into Pei's house by Pei Poming. I think I have a lot of resentment in my heart." Chu Bin lowered his voice a little, "Maybe Ding's family is also like Lian Niang Generally speaking, if you want to put Pei Poming to death, you just don't think that the case of Duke Juan's murder is so involved, and now she is finally afraid and has to tell the truth."

"Really?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, and said noncommittally: "If this is the truth about the murder of Duke Ju, then the Pei family is a joke, let alone what will happen to Pei Poming and Pei Xiaoze, the queen mother in the palace is afraid It’s Wuyan who is meddling in the government again.”

"If that's the case, it might be a good thing for us." Chu Bin lowered his expression, and Fang Zilan lowered his eyes and said, "After this incident, both the Pei family and the Ouyang family have been seriously injured, and there are only a few of the nine princely and noble families left. "

Her tone was inexplicably melancholy, and Chu Bin felt his heart tighten when he heard it, "Lan Lan, at least you..."

"What am I?" Fang Zilan interrupted him abruptly, and raised the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating manner, "You don't really think that I can be called a family by myself, do you?"

Chu Bin was stunned for a moment, and listened to her continue, "From the overthrow of the Shangguan family in the north, the retreat of the Xiahou family in the southeast, the decline of the Ouyang family in the capital, the decline of the Pei family, and the decline of the nine noble families, now only five surnames remain. gone."

"But even if you don't care about it, the Wang family in the northern region..." Chu Bin stopped in the middle of his sentence.

Fang Zilan looked at him, and said: "Master Wang Quanzhi is conservative, and Master Wang Quanrui is cunning. The reason why the Wang family is in the position of ministers is just to check and balance. When the capital was founded, the glory of the nine ministers will never be there again."

Chu Bin pursed his lips and said nothing, Fang Zilan handed back the umbrella in his hand, turned around and walked into the snowy sky.

In the next few days, Jingzhao Yin's House stepped up the interrogation of Ouyang Zongrui, Pei Poming, Fang Zitong and Ding, and reorganized the whole case, and finally got the truth——

Lianniang, the servant girl of Pei's mansion, had a grudge against Pei Poming's usurpation, so she used the poison she bought to kill Pei Juanqing, the Duke of the Kingdom of Pei, and tried to bring him down by framing him.During the period, Fang Zitong was suspected of shooting Pei Juanqing with a sleeve arrow. Ouyang Zongrui took advantage of the opportunity to fabricate and improve the incident of wounding people with a bow and crossbow, and framed Ouyang Zirou, causing her serious injury.

Ding, Pei Poming's concubine, accidentally ran into Lianniang poisoning her, but she and Lianniang had the same illness and sympathy for each other. She suffered from Pei Poming's torture for a long time, so she concealed the matter until more and more people were involved. Terrified, I couldn't help but stand up...

Fang Zilan was a little bit embarrassed when she heard Xiao Xuan'er's report, she was silent for a while, and then asked: "Even though there are more and more people involved, they have never been related to Ding, why is she afraid?"

"Ding is still different from Lianniang. Lianniang resents Miss Fang for turning a blind eye to what happened to her, but Ding has received a lot of favor from Dong Xue who is beside Miss Fang." Xiao Xuaner explained: "Ding When she heard about Dong Xue's death, she wanted to stand up, but Lianniang stopped her. Lianniang told her that if she stood up, she would inevitably be punished."

"Lianniang's words are quite good." Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "But Mrs. Ding finally stood up."

"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er sighed softly, and Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "I still have one thing that I don't understand. Why did Lian Niang poison the Duke of Ping? Since they are all set up to blame, the target of poisoning should not be important. , if she wants to attack Mrs. Pei, it may be easier, why is it Duke Ping?"

Xiao Xuan'er hesitated for a moment, then changed the voice and said, "I don't know if Mr. Fang knows, but where does the title of Lord Sui come from?"

"It is derived from the word "珒" in its name." Fang Zilan answered quickly, Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, "This is the first time in Dajing, Master Fang, do you know why?"

Fang Zilan was stunned, she had never thought about this question.Dajing's youngest patriarch of the Gongqing family, with a title, Pei Juanqing can have all these, not without a reason.

"Pei Guogong was not born to Mrs. Pei. His mother was originally the daughter of the former prince, but she fell in love with the head of the Pei family who was married at that time. At that time, the Pei family was still unknown, and it was inconspicuous in the capital full of wealthy families. "Xiao Xuan'er said, with a look of reminiscence, more regret, "The previous dynasty was turbulent, and the Patriarch of the Pei family wanted to seek the glory of the family, so he became rebellious and followed the Li family who was the most popular at that time."

Fang Zilan frowned, "But the Li family was in the north at that time, not in the capital, could it be..."

She didn't go on, Xiao Xuan'er said softly: "Master Fang guessed right. The Pei family's heirs were weak, and that's when it started. The head of the Pei family dedicated his sister to the Li family, and exchanged her in-laws for a seat. However, before How could the lord of the dynasty tolerate such blatant betrayal because of his tyranny? If it hadn’t been for Duke Ping’s mother getting married to protect the Pei family, there would probably be no Pei family in the capital today.”

"Later, the Li family entered the capital and Emperor Tai'an ascended the throne. As the founding hero, the Pei family naturally became one of the nine princes. The younger sister of the family head of the Pei family was named the queen, who is now the empress dowager." Xiao Xuan'er He lowered his eyes and said: "At that time, the capital was first established, and it was still unstable. It happened that General Xia Yunzhao of Baiyue led the Xia family army to surrender. In order to win people's hearts, Emperor Tai'an married General Xia Yunzhao's sister, Concubine Yu. However, the remnants of the previous dynasty still did not give up. , in a vain attempt to assassinate Concubine Yu, sow discord between the two parties, and the mother of Duke Jue appeared at that time, and died for Concubine Yu."

Fang Zilan reacted, "So the reason why the Duke of the Kingdom of Ju is the Duke of the Kingdom of Ju is because his mother sacrificed her life to save Concubine Yugui?"

"You can say that." Xiao Xuan'er nodded, "General Xia Yunzhao originally asked Concubine Yu to be on an equal footing with Empress Pei, but it didn't matter because of this. The Patriarch of the Pei family has no choice but to appoint Gong Guogong as the next patriarch."

She paused, "After Sui Guogong succeeded, he was conscientious and impeccable in his official duties, but because of his mother's death, he had a deep prejudice against women in the world, thinking that they are weak and incompetent, or even have no independent opinions, and they can be reduced to others at any time." As a victim. Most of the Pei family is like this, so he has always turned a blind eye to Pei Poming's actions, but he never thought that letting go of his own life would cost his own life."

"Poor people must have something to hate." Fang Zilan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Xuan'er, "Without Lianniang, there would be other women. Maybe it's Miss Fang, or someone else who can't bear it..."

"Master Fang thinks Lord Juan deserves what he deserves?" Xiao Xuaner asked subconsciously, Fang Zilan put the teapot on the case casually, "People, most of them will lose to the ones I dismiss the most, but that's the case. It's cheaper than Pei Xiaoze, Such a big Pei family, he is the only one who looks innocent."

Xiao Xuan'er took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "But if Pei Xiaoze married Lianniang early in the morning, and became famous and famous, Pei Poming would not dare to lay hands on his sister-in-law no matter how lustful she is."

"This is the most ridiculous thing." Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves, and said coolly: "The one who caused the evil turned out to be the beneficiary."

　This butterfly effect seems to be temporarily over, how will the next butterfly effect happen?When everyone is in the storm, no one is innocent
