Chapter 212 Someone was killed!
Later, the blind fortune teller died, and he inherited the blind fortune teller's mantle.
Jian Yue looked at Yun Zhonghe with sympathy: "Master has suffered a lot over the years."
Yun Zhonghe smiled bitterly: "I have indeed suffered a lot, but I have also experienced the ups and downs of life and learned a lot of knowledge that is not in books."
Jian Yue sighed in her heart: "Master, now that you have returned home, how will your family treat you?"
"My family is simple, and there are no dirty things in the backyard. It's very harmonious."
"Tomorrow I will attend the Crown Princess' tea party, and the day after tomorrow I will visit the two old people at Master's house."
"Okay, the old man and the old lady have been looking forward to your going! However, you have to be careful at the tea party tomorrow. There is a Princess Xinyue in the Rong family, and she must go. You must be fully prepared."
Yun Zhonghe told Jian Yue in detail about Princess Xinyue's temperament, as well as the main members of the Rong family and their appearance characteristics.
In order to provide an extra layer of protection for her life, Jian Yue spent the entire afternoon tinkering in the makeshift pharmacy in the Princess's Mansion.
Silent all night.
The next day, Jian Yue asked Qiu Qiao to comb her hair into a simple and elegant double-moon bun, put on a jasper hairpin and two jadeite pearl flowers, and wore a lake green cloud-smoke skirt with a lotus sachet tied to her belt.
Qiu Qiao whispered some advice, saying that the clothes were too plain.
Jian Yue just laughed it off.
The dress was too complicated and was a burden. It was her first time attending a tea party in the aristocratic circle, and she didn't know what it would be like. If something unexpected happened, she wouldn't be able to run fast in a dragging dress.
Qiu Gu told her all the possible situations that might happen at the banquet, and also analyzed all the ladies who might attend the banquet.
Jian Yue felt overwhelmed after hearing this. Why did it feel like attending a banquet was more troublesome than getting into a sedan chair?
Jian Yue asked Qiu Gu to pick a decent gift from the rewards. The three of them got on the carriage, and six guards led the way, followed by five or six ambushes, and headed for the East Palace.
The Princess's Mansion is not far from the East Palace and can be reached in less than half an hour.
Jian Yue woke up early in the morning and leaned on the soft pillow to take a nap. Unexpectedly, a scream suddenly came from outside: "Ah! Someone was killed! Princess Mingyue's carriage hit someone and killed him!"
Jian Yue was startled and felt the carriage suddenly stop.
Fu Yun immediately went to check the situation.
It turned out that an old lady with a bloody head fell in front of the carriage, shouting that the carriage had killed someone. But there were guards in front of the carriage to clear the way, so even if the carriage hit the guards, it would not hit her.
"Get out of here immediately! Are you looking for death by blackmailing the princess?" a guard shouted.
The old lady was so frightened that her whole body trembled. But she still shouted with her eyes closed, as if she had given up everything.
Fu Yun came over and told Jian Yue, who asked her to send a guard to report the case.
It was such an obvious frame-up, it was obvious someone was behind it.
Fu Yun asked one guard to look after the old lady, while the other guards protected the safety of the carriage.
At this time, the roadside was full of pedestrians who were watching the excitement. They pointed and said all kinds of things. Those who had just arrived saw the old lady deliberately falling in front of the carriage and knew what was going on. But those who came later didn't know and blamed Jian Yue's carriage.
There was someone in the crowd who was deliberately trying to lead the crowd. Fu Yun suddenly rushed into the crowd and caught that person.
The onlookers screamed and stepped back.
Fu Yun shouted loudly: "This person has bad intentions and deliberately incited the people to throw dirty water on Princess Mingyue. Send them all to the government office later."
When she heard that she was being sent to the government office, the old lady lying on the ground became even more frightened. She whimpered and didn't dare to shout.
Fu Yun was afraid that the surrounding area would become chaotic and someone would take advantage of the situation, so he said to the crowd: "If you don't understand the situation, don't say anything, or you will be sued. You can also pay attention to whether there are people around you who deliberately incite you to make trouble. If you find them, report them and there will be rewards."
Someone asked: "What is the reward?"
Fu Yun said: "If anyone deliberately stirs up trouble, you will be rewarded ten taels of silver for each person you report. But you cannot make random accusations. If you frame someone, not only will you not get the reward, you will also be punished with a stick."
Twelve!
The crowd was in an uproar, and pairs of eyes were scanning the people around them like searchlights, trying to see who was more suspicious. This made the hooligans hiding in the crowd who wanted to cause trouble very depressed, and they dared not make any moves for a while.
The guards soon brought the official from the Jingzhao Yamen. The official dragged the old lady up without saying a word and said, "Who gave you the guts to blackmail the Princess Mingyue, who was personally appointed by the Emperor? Come on, go to the Yamen and explain yourself clearly."
The old lady almost fainted, and trembled as she tried to defend herself: "It's unfair! Officer, I am innocent..."
Several officers took the two men away.
The guards evacuated the crowd and the carriage continued to move forward.
Jian Yue stroked her chin and thought: "Why did the Rong family do this?"
Fu Yun said: "I noticed that there were many hooligans in the crowd. They must be trying to lure the princess out, and while there are so many people around, they want to either kidnap the princess or destroy her innocence."
Jian Yue nodded: "It's unlikely that they kidnapped me in broad daylight. They probably wanted to send those hooligans to rush over and destroy my innocence. But they didn't expect me to be patient and not get off the carriage."
Jian Yue’s guess was really accurate.
Rong Yao knew that Jian Yue would attend the Crown Princess's tea party today, so he asked a maid from the farm to try to stop Jian Yue's carriage and get her off. As soon as Jian Yue got off, he asked the hooligans in the crowd to rush over, tearing her clothes and destroying her innocence.
However, what Rong Yao did not expect was that Jian Yue was not afraid when encountering such a thing. Instead, she calmly went to the government office to report the case and let the government office handle it, thus ruining the evil plan that he had racked his brains to come up with.
When Rong Yao learned that not only had his evil plan failed but two people had been arrested, he was so angry that he kicked over the low table with wine and food, and the several brothel ladies who were serving wine with him jumped away in panic.
"Start the second plan, start... Ouch!" Rong Yao hurt his foot and just hugged his foot and wailed, but because one foot could not support his body, he fell to the ground.
The second plan was simple and crude, letting the frightened horse pull the carriage directly to hit Jian Yue's carriage. But when the first incident occurred, someone began to clear the surrounding hidden dangers. So, the frightened horse was shot before it ran out of the alley. The killers hiding in the carriage rolled out of the carriage one after another, and their dazed appearance was quite funny.
Fu Lang entered the room and reported: "Master, Princess Mingyue has arrived safely at the East Palace."
Ji Yun nodded, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers, and said with a paralyzed face: "Since that old man is pretending to be deaf and dumb, I will teach his family's trash a lesson on how to behave."
When Jian Yue was welcomed into the East Palace, Rong Yao, who was drinking in the brothel, somehow fell down from the building and broke an arm and a leg.
