338 Outside and inside

Quicksilver entered the door and received his order, and went away again.

The people in the room each exhaled and muttered for a while, and Yang Pei said: "In this way, it must have alarmed the people behind the scenes, but I don't know what to do with the kidnapped lady?" ”

He was also very embarrassed about the turn of the matter, he thought that he had nothing to do with the palace, but it turned out that it was their county lord who poisoned him, and he was also very embarrassed in the face of Prince Duan, who regarded him as a confidant, and Song Yuan, who poisoned him.

Song Yuan bit her lip and looked at Prince Duan.

Prince Duan snorted heavily, and finally called Jiang Mi in: "Take a few people to check the whereabouts of the Gu family, if there are clues, don't startle the snake first, come back and report me!" ”

Jiang Mi also received the order.

Xu Ying stared at Song Yuan here and muttered for a while, suppressed her thoughts for the time being, turned her head and said to Yang Pei again: "I'm still thinking about who the Yang family has had a grudge with. Uncle really can't remember? ”

Yang Pei stared at her: "I have been thinking about this problem since the two children in my family were poisoned, and I have never had a clue. Even Yang Jun had died many years ago. ”

Xu Ying said: "Yang Jun? ”

Yang Pei's eyes darkened: "It's my father's heir." ”

Xu Ying paused and immediately realized.

Mr. Yang has only one heir, that is, the guy who had an affair with Xu Shaohui back then, it turns out that his name is Yang Jun! "Is he dead? I thought he was still in the Yang family. ”

When Yang recalled these things to her, he did not mention Yang Jun's whereabouts. Because the matter had passed, and Yang was in such a mental state at that time, she didn't inquire.

"Dead." Yang Pei glanced at Prince Duan's father and son, who were sitting on the side, who were a little uncomfortable, knowing that they already knew about this old matter, and his face was a little embarrassed.

But he was not a pedantic person, and he knew that the current situation could not allow him to worry too much, so he said: "After I went to Beijing to see your mother that year, I began to deal with him after returning to Jiangnan. I locked him up in the ancestral hall in accordance with family law, and announced in front of all the people of my clan that I would break his legs and expel him from the house, but on the first night I was about to punish him. The ancestral hall caught fire, and he died in the smoke. ”

"What about the corpses? Scorched? Xu Ying frowned.

She had heard too many stories of getting away by faking her death, and the most common and easiest was this method of burning the corpse while the fire was pretending to get away with it.

"Nope." Yang Pei frowned and said, "He was choked to death by smoke." The body is intact, and there is no zài who has been transferred. ”

Xu Ying was silent.

Since the body is intact, it is natural that there is no fake.

"So, is my uncle so ruthless that he has stopped contacting his mother for many years because of this incident?" She asked.

He looked up and stared at the curtain for a moment. "No, it's not just this. There are other things, but you don't need to know. ”

Xu Ying didn't think that she and the Yang family knew about the Yang family's affairs pointlessly, but thinking of the Yang family's importance to the family's reputation, it was not appropriate to ask here in front of Prince Duan's family, so she was silent.

But in this way, who will the Yang family offend?

"Huh!" At this moment, Song Che, who pretended not to listen to their uncle and nephew's conversation and pretended to read the letter in his hand, suddenly sat up in confusion, "This is the Brahma leaf incense paper of Siyin Pavilion!" ”

Xu Ying turned her head to look at him, then turned her head back. Siyin Pavilion is a very famous pen and ink shop in Beijing. Because their self-produced Brahma leaf incense paper is only for Beijing teachers, the output is very small, and it is also very popular among literati and scholars, but this kind of paper is only average in the palace. She was a little unimpressed, not knowing why Song Che was surprised.

But the next second, she immediately stood up again!

The letter was brought by Yang Pei from Jiangnan, why did the paper that was exclusively produced in Renjing go to Jiangnan?

She immediately walked over and took the paper in her hand and looked at it carefully, as she had said earlier that she had some skill in appreciating it, and she was sure from the color and ink that it was indeed at least three months old. This can also prove once again that what Yang Pei said is not a lie, and this letter was indeed brought by him from Jiangnan.

So, could the person who handed him the letter come from Jingshi?

Why did this person go all the way to Suzhou to harm the children of the Yang family? Also lured Yang Pei to Jingshi?

And he also wants to provoke the emperor's suspicion of Prince Duan's mansion?

Could it be that the ringleader behind the case of the guard house he and Song Che were investigating was a person?

If his purpose was only to target the Yang family, then he didn't have to do it on an occasion like tonight. He could have planted another name. And Prince Duan's Mansion is in charge of the Chinese military camp, and he planted the poison to the palace just so that he can reap the benefits!

"Could this person be that Ma Sanye?" Song Che obviously thought of Xu Ying as well, and bounced up from the chair.

Song Yuan on the side shivered inexplicably, I don't know who Ma Sanye they are talking about?

Xu Ying glanced at her, her brows furrowed a little deeper.

"Back to the prince! The man has been tried. At this moment, Wu Yunxiu hurriedly walked in. After glancing at Song Kite, he said truthfully: "It's a little eunuch who has been in charge of the banquet for half a year, and it was he who confessed that after he came out of the dining room to bring the soup, he mixed the poisonous soup into three bowls, and then led the current situation!" ”

Prince Duan's eyes glared at Song Yuan like copper bells, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Can you find out that he still has accomplices?!" ”

"It has been strictly examined, he is the only one, and he was replaced by a new group of eunuchs in the Shang Gong Division, and the official has already gone to the Shang Palace Division to verify the history, and it is true. Now the history of the Shang Palace Division and the Mo Gonggong who is in charge of the banquet division are all waiting for the prince to leave outside the door. ”

Prince Duan slammed the table: "Drag it down!" Thirty rods of the murderer! Gagged to prevent him from swallowing poison! Then take the canons of the two divisions with ten rods each, and then remove them! ”

Wu Yunxiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately retreated.

Xu Ying looked at the door, but her brows became tighter and tighter.

It is said that at this point, the matter has been regarded as a victory, and the cancer hidden in the palace has been removed, and everyone should breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

But her heart is still hanging in the air, mainly because although Song Yuan has confided the truth here, there are still doubts.

First of all, why would she be convinced that Gu was indeed kidnapped by someone based on a letter?

Secondly, why did she choose to confide in her after receiving the letter? The time of poisoning and the time of telling her the truth were very short, how did she have two completely different moods in such a short period of time, and guide her to make two completely different choices?

Then, why did she tear up the letter? Who is afraid of her to see? Why didn't she stay as evidence to defend herself afterwards?

All the suspicions did not escape her eyes, but the facts she confirmed were consistent with the facts revealed, and she did not point the finger directly at her. But now that the people who should be caught have been caught, it's time to ask her about them.
