Chapter 145 The Song Family's Affairs Are Completed
Various sounds mixed together in the Funing Hall, and the scene was in chaos.
Nanxiang held Kikuhei's hand tightly, endured the urge to vomit, and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
After thinking for a moment, she quickly came up with a guess.
It was because a few days ago, Nan Xiang brought up the matter of Song Feiren to Gu Junshen, and Gu Junshen sent people to investigate not long after.
Song Feiren was caught off guard by Nan Xiang's move. First, he was investigated, and then the Song family was sealed off. Even Song Feiren's superiors were ordered to check the accounts and tax records.
Unexpectedly, they really discovered a huge trick. These officials had begun planning this behavior as early as when Gu Junshen ascended the throne as the new emperor, withholding taxes to make a profit. It was only in the past two years that the results came out, and the amount was not large, so the splash was not big.
But now that it has been discovered, even a little bit of it is not allowed and it is a capital crime.
So Gu Junshen sent these officials to prison without saying a word, and at the same time dispatched officials from some regions to replace them.
It can be said that there was a major reshuffle of some officials in the imperial court, which caused people to panic, fearing that this incident would happen to them.
However, due to various evidences of the Song family's crimes, Gu Junshen confiscated their property and punished them by sending them to the border.
All the gold, silver, jewelry, etc. harvested from the Song family were confiscated and used to exchange for disaster relief food in various places.
Song Wanru, who was in the cold palace, was also having a hard time. When she heard the news from home, she fainted.
Considering the injuries he suffered from previous punishments, his life or death is still unknown.
Although the Song family’s current situation has nothing to do with Nanxiang directly, it was caused by her deliberate guidance.
Maybe this assassin was the killer hired by Song Feiren with his last bit of savings.
Nanxiang staggered a few times unsteadily and realized that she had bumped into a warm chest behind her.
She turned her head and raised her eyes slightly, and met Gu Junshen's reassuring look.
Nanxiang immediately felt warm in her heart and felt safe, and her hands naturally supported her big belly.
Gu Junshen retracted his gaze and looked at the black-clad assassin who was pinned to the ground, and immediately a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
As early as after the incident with Xu Ziang last time, he had strengthened the patrol and control of the harem.
These patrolling guards are all Jinyiwei who have higher ranks and martial arts skills and are more ruthless in their actions.
He had personally examined and selected them at the military headquarters a few days ago.
They are much better than Xu Ziang's group of sword-carrying guards last time.
After a while, the black-clad assassin's veil was lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
Looking at this face, Nanxiang frowned slightly.
She didn't know this person, nor did she have any impression of him, and he was not in her original memory.
Then she turned her gaze to the virtuous concubine Huang who was standing not far away.
I began to think about the possibility that this was done by Concubine Xian.
She quickly ruled it out.
The virtuous concubine shouldn't be that stupid.
Looking for someone so clumsy.
Concubine Xian also noticed Nanxiang's gaze and immediately responded with a meaningful smile.
I felt happy but also a little disappointed.
The good news is that she is finally not the only one who dislikes Nan Xiang and wants her to die.
Disappointingly, the other party did not succeed and even alerted the enemy, making her next plan even more difficult.
After this little episode, the originally exciting Qixi family dinner was disrupted and lost its interest.
Gu Junshen dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand.
Nanxiang also returned to Wangyueju under the protection of Gu Junshen and many guards around him.
……
After a long time, the imperial physician came to Wangyueju with a heavy wooden box.
Under Gu Junshen's gaze, he checked Nan Xiang's pulse.
"Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine was only slightly frightened. Her heartbeat is a little irregular. I will prescribe some tranquilizers for her."
The imperial physician spoke with some fear. For some reason, every time he saw Gu Junshen, his body would tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, he was also afraid that Gu Junshen would dislike him for coming too late and punish him.
Originally, he was guarding a palace not far from Wangyueju, but today something happened in the Imperial Hospital, so he rushed back. Unexpectedly, this incident happened to Nanxiang.
"That's good. But you've left your post without permission. I'll deduct one month's salary from you as a punishment."
Gu Junshen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then spoke to the imperial physician in a serious tone.
He remembered that he had previously instructed him to guard not far from Wangyueju so that if anything happened it could be resolved in time.
Now, after waiting for a long time, no imperial physician came, and the person who came reported that he had returned to the Imperial Hospital.
He was a little annoyed at the time, but Nan Xiang was still beside him, holding his hand tightly, so he didn't dare to get angry.
But his face really doesn't look good.
Soon, only Nan Xiang and Gu Junshen, who looked worried, were left in the inner hall of Wangyueju.
He was a little worried. After the assassination at the banquet, he was afraid it would happen again in the future.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I am fine."
Nan Xiang pursed her lips and spoke softly to Nan Xiang, trying to ease her worries and concerns at the moment.
"I know. I'm just afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in the future."
Nanxiang couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that.
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. I think this person might have some connection with the Song family and is targeting me. How about Your Majesty send more people to Wangyueju to look after it?"
After hearing this, Gu Junshen's eyes moved a few times.
"My beloved concubine is absolutely right!"
……
Two days later, Gu Junshen finally passed various punishments and investigations.
The origins of this black-clad assassin were investigated.
It has some connection with the Song family, but this is not the main reason.
This man is the elder brother of Mrs. Huang, the eldest lady of the Song family.
Huang and the Song families were confiscated and exiled to the border, which made Huang's brother extremely sad.
I'm afraid this will be the last time I see you in this life.
Later, Huang's brother made inquiries from many sources and found out the causes and consequences of some things.
I couldn't help but put all the blame on Nanxiang.
Afterwards, he bribed a eunuch and got a warrant to enter the palace. He hid in the palace for a few days and finally waited until the Chinese Valentine's Day family dinner to take action.
In the end, Huang's brother, the assassin who assassinated Nanxiang, was whipped to death by Gu Junshen, and the Huang family he belonged to was implicated, their property was confiscated and they were exiled, just like the Song family...
Even the officials and eunuchs that he bribed were investigated and dealt with by Gu Junshen's secret guards, who also strengthened the inspection of people entering and leaving the palace.
Officials were repeatedly accused of being bribed and receiving bribes, which made Gu Junshen feel uneasy about the current situation in the court.
He had only been on the throne for a short time, and many people thought he was a soft persimmon that was difficult to squeeze.
At this time, he had the idea of replacing a group of officials through the imperial examination.
After learning the identity of the assassin, Nanxiang was a little surprised and felt that there might be something wrong with the Huang family.
Everyone knows how Huang treated her, but her brother actually blames her without any investigation. What is this?
Isn’t all this thanks to their good baby Song Wanru?
