Xu Qinghuan's voice brought Huang Qinghe back to his senses.
"Did Jiang Zhiyi confess in prison?"
Huang Qinghe shook his head: "Ever since she went to prison, she has refused to say a word."
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Is there anyone in the prison interrogating her?"
"No," Huang Qinghe thought for a while and said, "At least I... didn't... I go to see her every day, and she still looks the same."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Master Huang, Jiang Zhiyi can't make any mistakes until the matter comes to light."
Miss Xu was right in reminding her. He wanted the mother-in-law in the prison to check whether there were any injuries on Jiang Zhiyi's body.
Thinking of the Zhang family beating up the old woman in the Taoist temple, Huang Qinghe started to sweat. Of course, the Zhang family's power could enter and exit the Shuntian Mansion Prison. He couldn't be in the prison guarding Jiang Zhi all the time.
I recall that if the Zhang family knew what Tan Guangyao said tonight, the Zhang family would be able to interrogate people even more unscrupulously.
"Without further delay," Huang Qinghe said goodbye to Xu Qinghuan, "I want to go to the prison to check the situation first."
"Sir, could you please take Mrs. Chang with you? Maybe Mrs. Chang can help." Xu Qinghuan turned around and saw Mrs. Chang standing quietly aside with a bag on her back.
Huang Qinghe said that having someone to help him was just in case. Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Miss Xu, and Miss Xu also wanted to get more clues from Jiang Zhiyi!
It was indeed inconvenient for him to deal with the female relatives in prison, so he could only rely on the female servants in the yamen for physical examination. Those women were obviously not as careful as Mrs. Chang.
Huang Qinghe led Mrs. Chang out, and Xu Qingan looked at their backs with some confusion. Why was Tan Er so short in stature that he couldn't even "kill people" himself? He had never been a murderer before. What a shame.
What a pity.
"Where's father?"
Xu Qing'an was lost in thought when he suddenly woke up from his dream when he heard: "I went to the study."
Naturally, the father cannot show up for such a farce. How can a dignified prince allow his children to intimidate guests? Moreover, as long as her father shows up, Mrs. Tan will tell old stories and will not tell the truth obediently.
"Then Huang Xiaoyu doesn't know if he can solve the case clearly." Xu Qingan couldn't help but feel worried.
Huang Xiaoyu, Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but find it funny.
…
An Yihou was sitting on a chair in the study. He had just heard Tan Guangyao's words clearly. Is the conflict between the Tan brothers really just related to the woman named Jiang Zhiyi?
Or... he was involved in the Tan family's business. When the Tan family came to Beijing with his mother, he was on guard, but he didn't expect that the news of Tan Guangyao's assassination suddenly came.
"Miss, you are here."
Hearing the sound coming from outside, An Yihou immediately put away the letter in his hand and picked up a book to read.
"Father." Xu Qinghuan entered the door and her eyes fell on the book in An Yihou's hand. When she came yesterday, her father's book had already been opened for most of half, but now it stopped at the first few pages.
Apparently her father heard her coming and opened the book casually to cover up. What was his father doing before that?
An Yihou raised his head and looked at his daughter: "Are you still thinking about the Tan family case?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Where's father? Why don't you sleep?"
Anyihou sighed: "I didn't expect that the Tan family would be in such chaos."
Xu Qinghuan reached out and turned on the light. When she was a child, she liked to run into her father's study and watch her father read official documents eagerly. Her father simply set up a small table next to it and asked her to write and draw on it. At that time, her grandmother had just
I hired a female teacher to teach her, but she didn't have much patience. She felt tired after writing and just lay down on the desk to sleep. Her father would pick her up and put her on the soft couch every time, and her brother also imitated her behavior.
She was fast asleep in front of her father, but her legs were swollen after being beaten by her father and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Thinking about it this way, her father seems to be particularly indulgent towards her. Is it related to her illness when she was a child?
"Father," Xu Qinghuan said, "Are you familiar with Nie Rong?"
My father, who has been through this, should know more about what happened more than ten years ago.
An Yihou retracted his fingers slightly, and his eyes became deeper: "I know that Nie Rong was once a capable general beside the late emperor. The late emperor personally went on three expeditions, and each time he ordered Nie Rong to follow him, until something happened.
Nie Rong gradually became neglected."
Xu Qinghuan was very curious: "What is it?"
An Yihou said: "Nie Rong's wife was kidnapped by Japanese pirates. Nie Rong asked the late emperor for permission to go to Fujian to deal with the Japanese pirates and rescue his wife."
Xu Qinghuan said: "This is also human nature. Anyone whose family is kidnapped will feel so anxious."
An Yihou said: "The late emperor was naturally worried about Nie Rong and ordered his people to go to Fujian with Nie Rong to rescue Nie. Unexpectedly, Nie Rong was so eager to save his wife that he fell into the Japanese plan and was captured by the Japanese."
, An Yihou felt sad in his heart, "When the news reached the capital, everyone felt that a generation of famous generals had fallen."
Regardless of whether Nie Rong lives or dies, he will never have a good future from now on.
"Why?" Xu Qinghuan said, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Nie Rong must have made countless achievements in the past, but now he has only lost once. As long as he does not surrender to the Japanese pirates and can return one day, he will still be a rare general in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
An Yihou looked at his daughter deeply, his eyes full of pride: "It's a pity that people in the world don't think like you do.
When the late emperor learned about this, he couldn't help being furious and ordered the navy to fight against the Japanese pirates as long as they refused to release Nie Rong and his wife. After such a threat, the Japanese pirates would not dare to act arbitrarily and would soon release them.
, but I didn’t expect rumors to spread at this time, saying that Nie Rong’s wife had surrendered to the Japanese a long time ago, and that she was falsely captured this time just to lure Nie Rong there. Nie Rong was also tempted by the Japanese pirates to have treason. Otherwise, as a famous general, why would Nie Rong
I would rather be captured than commit suicide for the country."
Xu Qinghuan frowned: "This statement makes no sense and cannot stand scrutiny at all. If General Nie has already had the intention of treason, why bother to go to such trouble and just interact with the Japanese country in private? After this incident, he lost his reputation and his ancestors."
With the emperor's trust, even if he surrenders, it will be of little use to the Japanese pirates."
Marquis Anyi sighed: "Just because Nie Rong did not die, the court officials seemed to have grasped Nie Rong's fault. Not only did they refuse to speak for Nie Rong, they also added insult to injury and asked the late emperor to thoroughly investigate the Nie family. The late emperor even
He also intended to abandon Nie Rong and his wife. The late emperor was undecided and went to visit the King of Wei. The King of Wei advised the late emperor not to dishearten the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty because of a few slanderous words. If Nie Rong was abandoned like this, who would be willing to serve the Zhou Dynasty in the future?
campaign."
It turns out that the crux was here, so when the King of Wei later rebelled, everyone would target Nie Rong.
An Yihou said: "After Nie Rong was rescued, although the court did not remove him from his official position, the late emperor no longer allowed him to lead the army. Not only that, the Nie clan removed the names of Nie Rong's wife from the family tree.
Seeing it as a great shame and humiliation, Nie Rong and his wife rented a courtyard to live in a place of traffickers and pawns in the middle of the capital. Soon after, Nie Rong and his wife gave birth to their eldest daughter."
Xu Qinghuan understood: "Nie was kidnapped by the Japanese and refused to die because she was pregnant and could not bear to bear the child.
Such a show of weakness brought disaster to the Nie family. The world is declining, and people in the world are so mean."
