After Jiang Wang left, Delu Hall was silent for a long time.
The emperor's voice then sounded: "Take out that mural and hang it in Donghua Pavilion. I will also look at it every day."
This is the only sentence...
This is the only sentence.
Han Ling lowered his head, followed the order and left.
…
…
An eunuch kept a sufficient distance and led the way, stepping on the huge stone bricks without making a sound. They were accustomed to being cautious people and lived humbly in this great palace.
Jiang Wang walked behind slowly and with extraordinary magnanimity.
With every step, click, click, click.
Walking through the majestic and luxurious palace city, wearing a green shirt and holding a sword, walking calmly, who can not say that he is a handsome young man?
However, when his footsteps echoed alone in the huge palace city, falling on his heart like a drumbeat, Jiang Wang couldn't help but think.
At the time of the Emperor...
Do you know the truth about the assassination of Concubine Lei?
Even, he walked all the way from Xuanwu Street to the palace.
This journey has been calm, but how much turbulence is behind it? Is it the emperor who is beating certain people?
The position of prince is related to the foundation of the country.
Thinking back to the thirty-eighth year of Yuanfeng, the former prince was imprisoned, the new prince was established, and the rebellion of Duke Loulan was finally settled.
From the perspective of the emperor.
Lei Guifei set up a trap and stabbed herself, and it was not a pity to die.
Queen He followed the trend and killed someone with a borrowed knife. Although it was a counterattack, she was still to blame. Afterwards, in order to cover up the truth and force Lin Kuang to be killed, it was an indelible crime. Why did the Osawada clan act as a minion of the queen and sell out the prince?
, the suspicion of intervening in the fight for the dragon is hard to conceal.
What would have been the result if the truth had been revealed back then?
First of all, Queen He must be deposed.
How much competition will it cause if the rear position is suddenly vacant?
This kind of fight is beyond the control of anyone, including the emperor himself. Because there is only one post, and there are too many people watching that position.
You can’t just find someone to sit on.
more importantly……
Since Queen He is deposed, the Crown Prince will of course be deposed as well.
However, within a few years, the princes were deposed and established one after another. Even if this incident was taken alone, it was a foolish act that could shake the country. What's more, it was during the period when Loulan Gong's rebellion had just subsided?
Going further, the Osawada family has always been the top famous family in Qi State. It has a deep foundation in both military and political affairs, and it is also part of the strength of Qi State. If it were held responsible at that time, it would be tantamount to committing suicide when the country was in turmoil.
Trim the muscles.
Qi State, which has just put down the Loulan Gong rebellion, is it appropriate to depose the queen, depose the prince, and hold the Tian family accountable?
The deposed prince in Qingshi Palace has just been imprisoned for three years...
The aftermath is still lingering!
The emperor had too many reasons to remain silent.
Actually, think about it carefully.
Since the prince has been in the East Palace for so many years, why is he still so cautious?
After being the crown prince for so many years, he has not yet been truly recognized by the government and the public as the future monarch of Da Qi.
After being the crown prince for so many years, he has successively established Huaying Palace, Yangxin Palace and Changsheng Palace.
Is there any influence from the incident back then?
Think about it again.
Da Qi has nine soldiers, but the Osawada clan currently has no army under its control.
At present, the Osawada clan does not have a seat in the political affairs hall.
This is one of the top aristocratic families in Qi State. It has developed two islands overseas and is not inferior to any other aristocratic family. Its participation in the highest power of Qi State is also too weak...
Even Gaochang Hou Tian Xili and Xuanhuai Bo Liu Yingqi had a fight in the ceremony not long ago, and the emperor ordered them to strip off their clothes and whip them...
Xuan Huaibo whipped him, so he was whipped. What is the status of the Marquis of Gaochang?
If the emperor already knew the truth back then, he shelving the case for so many years can, to a certain extent, be regarded as a sign of dignity he gave Jiang Wuqi.
The case is not made public. Concubine Lei could still be the emperor's cherished concubine, and Jiang Wuqi could still be the emperor's most beloved son.
If this case is made public, it means that Concubine Lei is the one who committed the crime and will die, and Jiang Wuqi is the son of the sinful concubine.
Concubine Lei Guifei acted boldly, but Jiang Wuqi was not guilty after all...
But even though there are so many reasons to support it, even though there are so many things that can be analyzed.
Jiang Wang is still not sure whether Emperor Qi knew the truth back then.
These analyzes are all based on assumptions.
And the emperor's heart is as unpredictable as the sea.
But at least one thing is clear
Today, Jiang Wang is walking on thin ice, walking on an invisible line. With abyss on his left and right, he gives everyone the best explanation he can. And this so-called appropriate measure is not drawn by the emperor.
line?
The emperor said nothing, but the line was clearly there.
Jiang Wang was indeed impassioned and upright in Delu Palace, but did he dare to touch that line? Did he dare to mention the word queen?
He can only talk about the Feng Gu case, he can only talk about the Gongsun Yu case, and he can only talk about the Lin Kuang case.
Leave it to Yang Jing.
Give Lin Youxie an explanation.
What he promised, he did.
As for really making the truth about the entire assassination of Concubine Lei known to the world...he can't do it.
It is not a matter of evidence being lost.
After having gained insight into the truth, searching for the corresponding evidence will never be more difficult than Uriel’s efforts over the past seventeen years.
Jiang Wang is confident that he can find more evidence.
But that’s where it ends.
Everything we do today is already the current limit.
In other words, it is the limit allowed by the emperor.
In these tumultuous days, so many people died and so many things happened. So many people took part in it, causing ripples...
Only the emperor sat in the deep palace, doing nothing and saying nothing. But everything was within the scope of the emperor's silent sight.
Never exceeded one point.
Seventeen years ago, I let it go lightly. Who will I beat seventeen years later?
Everyone can only struggle within the limits set by the emperor.
Whether it is Beiya, Jiang Wang, several palace masters, or even the current queen!
Just like this great and magnificent palace, although it is silent, it shows at all times that Emperor Qi is the only supreme power of this great empire.
So Jiang Wang said that if he wanted to serve in Beiya, he should be a Beiya captain who didn't know how to act appropriately.
The emperor naturally refused.
He was not given the opportunity to be selfless, but given freedom.
…
…
The majestic palace city gradually left behind him. Under the complicated gazes of people, intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Wang walked directly through the capital city, back to Yaoguangfang, and back to his mansion.
“Heh, are you going to the Chu Kingdom now? Entering the palace in a strong manner, and then running away like a rat as soon as you come back?”
Chong Xuan Sheng occupied his yard again, and laughed very dissatisfiedly: "Then if you don't run faster, what are you going to come back to clean up? What is there to clean up in your house? I brought all the valuables."
Jiang Wang stopped packing his luggage and turned around to glare at him: "Pang Chongxuan, what you say is a bit too disturbing!"
Zhong Xuansheng stood there, holding the door almost full, and snorted: "Isn't it a stab in the lungs?"
“What does it have to do with lungs?”
Zhong Xuansheng sneered and said: "The lungs belong to metal in the five elements, so it is most suitable for your pain."
Jiang Wang:……
I just took some commonly used tea leaves and other wound medicines and didn’t bother to put them away anymore.
After all, what Chong Xuan Sheng said was the truth.
Putting away the storage box, he turned around and walked to Zhongxuan Sheng, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring some money."
“The second owner of the dignified Desheng Chamber of Commerce is at home only a few days throughout the year!”
Zhong Xuansheng rolled his eyes, and while complaining, he finally touched the storage box: "If you don't listen to Jin Yu's good advice, learn from others and want the truth. If the Tian family tampers with you casually, our overseas business will not be able to continue, do you understand?"
?Yes, the emperor has supported you, but you have once again exhausted the emperor's patience with you. And have you ever thought about Changle Palace? Do you have to have trouble with the prince? You should use your brain to think a little occasionally, don't do it all
Used for practice..."
Jiang Wang coaxed continuously: "Okay, okay, Brother Sheng, I have learned a lesson. Why don't we avoid disaster? The situation is urgent..."
Chong Xuan Sheng took out a bag of ten Yuan Stones, and after thinking about it, he put back a few more stones, and muttered: "When the dust here has settled, come back quickly. Don't get into trouble when you go to Chu Country, right?"
That’s their territory…”
"I understand, Brother Sheng, I have remembered all your good advice..." Jiang Wang spoke in a good voice, took the Yuan Stone, stuffed it into his storage box, and his whole body was full of emotions.
He stood up high, took the initiative to cut off his words, and said crisply: "Let's go!"
Then he really didn’t say goodbye to anyone and just walked away.
…
…
When Lin Youxie opened his eyes, what he saw in front of him was still dark.
Thinking that it was probably night, I got up instinctively, opened the bed curtain, and then noticed that the door was open and light came from outside.
It turns out it’s dawn.
It seemed like I had slept for a long time, so I was in a daze for a while, and then the memories before I fell into coma came back to me.
Jiang Wang……
Lin Youxie lowered his head and looked at his wrists. There were no shackles on them.
The physical condition is also very good, no injuries, and the confinement has disappeared.
And confirm again that you are indeed staying at your own home... and you are safe.
Then he suddenly stood up and ran out the door!
From the location of the Lin family's old residence to Yaoguangfang, it is by no means a short distance.
Lin Youxie was walking on the busy street, and for some reason, he was still in a trance.
She has confirmed in her own way that all the people she found who were monitoring her seemed to have disappeared.
She couldn't even help but wonder, was it all a dream?
Maybe she didn't reveal her plan to Jiang Wang? She didn't go for the autopsy that day, she didn't find her father's knife at the door, Grandpa Wu didn't die, and of course Jiang Wang didn't knock her out...
But it won’t be a dream.
Lin Youxie felt his body and got real clues from it. He confirmed everything.
She quickened her pace.
Walking among the crowd, observing everyone's expressions and behaviors, inferring their moods and occupations, and guessing what they are going to do next... This was the little game she played most often in the past, but of course she had no intention of doing it today.
She is only thinking
What is Jiang Wang going to do?
She stopped and even felt a little anxious... Jiang Mansion has arrived.
This is not the first time that Lin Youxie has come to the Jiang family. The residence of this upstart Linzi man is more dignified every time he comes than the last time. Of course, this is due to the wealthy and fat young master of the Chongxuan family.
“I want to see Jiang Wang.” She said directly to the disciple.
Perhaps his expression was a little ugly, which gave people a sense of oppression, so he went to spread the message timidly.
Lin Youxie thought this way and controlled his emotions.
Not long after, the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion came out to welcome him.
This is just an ordinary person, not extraordinary, but when facing Lin Youxie, he is neither humble nor arrogant: "Sir, what a coincidence, the master is out!"
"Going out?" Lin Youxie looked into his eyes to make sure he was not trying to evade, and then asked, "When will you come back?"
“I don’t know about that.” The steward said, “It’s not my turn to make the decision when the lord will come back.”
"Where did he go?"
“You are joking, will the lord inform me where he is going?”
Jiang Wang has gone far away, probably in a hurry...
Lin Youxie quickly made a judgment in his heart, and then he felt a feeling of relaxation or loss, which lingered lightly in his heart, but he couldn't hold it.
At this moment, another male voice sounded next to him: "Is Jiang Wang not here?"
Coming over was a man wearing black attire.
Her temperament is very cold and solemn, and fatigue is visible to the naked eye between her brows.
The steward of the Jiang Mansion replied: "Mr. Yang, my Lord is indeed not in the house now. Do you have anything to say?"
Yang Jing!
As soon as the name rang in Lin Youxie's mind, another voice came hurriedly from behind, approaching from far away.
“Deputy Ambassador Lin! I have finally found you!”
Zheng Shangming’s voice……
When Lin Youxie turned around, his expression had become calm: "Master Zheng, what do you want from me?"
"No need." Yang Jing said a word to the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion, then turned and left.
Zheng Shangming hurriedly walked over. Before he could talk to Lin Youxie, he raised his hand again: "Hey, Mr. Yang, stay here!"
Yang Jing turned around coldly: "What's the matter?"
Zheng Shangming first gave Lin Youxie a look of relief, and then said to Yang Jing: "Beiya has arrested the murderer of Gongsun Yu!"
"What?" Lin Youxie opened his mouth subconsciously
Yang Jing also frowned with the word "Chuan" between his brows.
Apparently they can’t believe this.
But Zheng Shangming's expression was very serious: "You heard it right, the murderer of Gongsun Yu has pleaded guilty and will be punished. Mr. Yang, we all see how hard you have been working for your friends these days. Fortunately, the sky net is vast, and Gongsun Yu is not missing anything."
Yu is alive and can finally rest in peace. You can finally take a break too."
Of course, Yang Jing knew that since Zheng Shangming could speak to this extent, the one who was punished must be the murderer who directly killed Gongsun Yu. There is no mistake about this.
As for the future...there is no future. There is only one murderer.
As for whether that person had an old grudge with Gongsun Yu, or whether he suddenly passed by Biwu County that night and was in a bad mood... it doesn't matter in short. Logical reasons can always be made up.
Yang Jing, who has been hitting a wall these days, certainly knows how difficult it is to be able to throw out the killer to make an explanation.
“Yang admires Beiya’s efficiency in solving crimes.” Yang Jing has always been a sober person. At most, he was briefly confused because of Gongsun Yu’s death.
He should be awake now.
So he cupped his hands, turned around and left.
“Master Yang, don’t you plan to see the murderer with your own eyes?” Zheng Shangming asked behind him.
“No need.” Yang Jing said without turning around: “Just send me a message after you have been executed. There are many things at home, so I should go back!”
His steps were long and fast.
Not like a winner.
“Alright!”
Zheng Shangming watched Yang Jing off, then turned back to look at Lin Youxie, with a sigh in his voice: "Deputy Ambassador Lin, I mainly came to see you today. When I went to your house, you were not at home either. Later I heard someone say
If you come this way, I will chase you..."
Lin Youxie just looked at him indifferently, waiting for his next words.
Zheng Shangming continued: "The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the suicide case of Lord Lin Kuang. We urgently visited dozens of Qingpai elders, 19 of whom were eyewitnesses of the case. Finally, it was proved that Lord Lin Kuang was indeed not wrongly arrested.
Man, Tian Fen turned out to be the hidden son of Ping Ping Country. Master Lin Kuang did not commit suicide out of fear of blame, but for the honor of Qingpai, he took on all the infamy..."
Lin Youxie's eyes changed from surprise to sadness, and then suddenly he was stunned again.
The country of Pingren is a big basket, and everything can be put into it.
But even this opportunity to "install the basket" was not something she won by herself...
"The emperor issued a decree saying, 'No one should be taken lightly'. Master Lin Kuang was granted the title of Heavenly Robber, and Master Uriel was granted the title of Diwangbo. His spiritual throne is enshrined in the Inspection Office of the capital, and all Qingpai arresters should be enshrined in it from generation to generation!"
"
From ancient times to the present, opening up territory and expanding territory has been the first-class achievement, and most people who have won titles have done so.
It is far out of reach to solve the case and put an end to prison.
Jiang Qingyang also received a knighthood for his military service, but it had nothing to do with his green card.
There has never been a person who won a title based on the merits of the Qingpai in ancient times.
Lin Kuang and Uriel, this is the first case.
This is certainly brilliant.
But Lin Youxie felt increasingly dazed, and there was something heavy in his eyes that made him want to fall.
Zheng Shangming's voice continued: "The emperor gave me a plaque in his own handwriting, saying 'Qingpai Shuangjiao'..."
Looking blankly at the word "jiang" on the plaque on the door of Jiang Mansion, she felt that the voice was already very far away.
