And Jing Yu behind him stared at his figure and said in a low voice: "It seems that our Highness is really kind-hearted - this is the most important thing!" ”

He picked up the teacup, which was already slightly cold, drank it all, and waved his sleeves slightly, and the porcelain cup fell to the ground and broke in half.

"You must do your best to make the next drastic medicine, time is running out......"

At this time, a carrier pigeon flew outside the courtyard, cooing and landing at his feet, he took the paper scroll from the brass ring, unfolded it and painted it with tea, and the handwriting was revealed, and after reading it he smiled slightly, and put the paper roll into the charcoal fire under the bamboo hand stove, and gradually turned into ashes.

"Next, it's up to you, Red Note."

His smile was clear and warm, as bright as the sun, but the corners of his eyes flashed with unsettling fierceness.

In the prison of Dali Temple, Ji Gang was still sitting on the simple wooden bed, but his brows were furrowed, "You shouldn't come." ”

The person standing in front of him was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was as handsome as a jade pearl, and it was the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, Guangsheng.

"Now that Master Xue has been promoted to Dongchang, Dali Temple is a little relaxed, and I can come in."

"I'm here this time, and I want to ask the adults for advice."

Guangsheng took two more steps forward and asked in an inaudible voice, "What are the unusual secrets in the South Garden of the Imperial Palace?" ”

"The palace was built in the hands of Emperor Hongwu, and the real secret is only known to the most important people in the imperial family."

Ji Gang pondered slightly, "But our Jinyi Guard is also responsible for supervising the palace, and many old people in the palace fell into my hands, and they all confessed a bunch of secrets before they died." ”

"I remember an old mute palace maid who was in Nanyuan, and she was about to be executed for stealing, and she hugged my leg and drew a strange picture in the mud."

Guangsheng listened attentively, and Ji Gang glanced at him with a smile. "The painting is very peculiar, under a scribbled palace, she drew a lot of lines that go around and around, I thought it was a snake, but in the end, according to her gestures, I finally knew that this was a secret passage under the palace."

"Secret passage?"

"Yes, it was probably set up secretly when Emperor Hongwu built the imperial city."

When Zhu Yuanzhang built the imperial city, he spent a lot, and he almost didn't even have enough money in the treasury. There are still rumors among the people that "Shen Wansan donated money to build half of the city", although it is not credible, but it can be seen that the huge cost is obvious.

Ji Gang changed his words, "Emperor Jianwen disappeared in the fire, and some people speculated that he escaped from this secret passage. ”

"If there is really any secret passage, it is only the family of Emperor Jianwen who has the secret, after all, they are the orthodox elders."

Ji Gang's words made Guangsheng feel a little clue in his heart. But it fell into an even greater fog.

Why does the corpse that replaces the red paper have an indentation at the bottom of the Nanyuan copper cylinder?

Where did the real red note go?

What is hidden in the seemingly calm Nanyuan?

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and told Ji Gang about the latest developments, and Ji Gang nodded. "This Xue Yu is not a thing in the pool, I was careless at the beginning."

He sighed softly: "Your Majesty doesn't want to use the knife of Jinyiwei all the time, so he built an east factory, and from then on." It's no longer a monopoly. ”

In the voice, there is a sense of depression, and time flies. This strongman, who held awe-inspiring authority back then, is also so lonely at this moment lamenting the end of an era.

"So you have to be ahead of the curve to solve the case, so that Imagami can have peace of mind."

Ji Gang looked at the tired look in the corner of Guangsheng's eyes, and also felt a little tricky, "Even if there is a secret passage, it should only be opened by those who have mastered the methods and tricks of the mechanism, and I haven't even found it today, I'm afraid that you won't be able to find anything in a short period of time." ”

Ji Gang saw that Guangsheng's expression was calm, and he didn't show any disappointment and impatience, and nodded secretly, "That's all I know about the rumors about Nanyuan—what are you going to do next?" ”

"I plan to screen suspicious people extensively in Nanyuan, and everyone will have to check their backgrounds and family and friends in detail."

Although this method seems ordinary, but the things in the world are only afraid of seriousness, if Guangsheng can really peel off the cocoon and work hard, people with doubts will show their deeds sooner or later.

Ji Gang nodded with satisfaction, suddenly thought of something again, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "The origin of those palace maids in Nanyuan, a few of them are unusual. ”

"I remember that when it was the seventh year of Yongle, there were several noble families who offered their daughters to the palace, and they all gave concubines as their shares, especially Zhang Niangniang's identity was the most valuable, and now she was canonized as a concubine."

Ji Gang said that Zhang Niangniang is the sister of the British prince Zhang Fu, who is the first noble in this dynasty, and the daughter of Zhang Yu, the pioneer of the Hejian Zhongwu King, Zhang Yu died in the battle of Dongchang to rescue Zhu Di, Zhang Fu occupied Annan and changed to Jiaozhi, and the four times of rebellion can be said to be loyal and brave.

"Zhang Guifei brought dozens of mothers-in-law and maids and craftsmen and servants into the palace, some of them were scattered everywhere for the time being, among them there were a few eight or nine-year-old girls, because they were too young, and when they got married, it was just for the auspicious omen of the celebration, so they were originally raised, but then they didn't know what trouble they were punished for, so they were relegated to Nanyuan, and now they are considered to be Miao Ling."

Ji Gang has been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for many years, and the situation in the palace is also deeply infiltrated, and he even remembers such an inconspicuous little thing.

This actually involves Zhang Guifei and the British princess again? Guangsheng felt that the water in the palace was really deep.

"Of course, it's not that there must be something wrong with these little girls, it's just that I remember this and mention it to you."

After Ji Gang finished speaking, he looked at the faint light leaking from the iron window, "You've been here for too long, leave quickly." ”

Guangsheng's footsteps did not move, and his expression could not hide his worry, "Adults must be careful, beware of villains falling into the well and plotting, I have also managed to send someone to infiltrate Dali Temple——"

Before the words fell, Ji Gang glared at him fiercely, "You are pretending to be smart, hurry up and withdraw the person!" ”

"But ......"

"No, but! I know that you are thinking about me, and I am afraid that I will be plotted or humiliated, but I am not a stupid person today, and I don't know how many people are staring at me, and I will be fine. ”

Ji Gang showed a slight sarcastic sneer on his lips, "Unless he wants me to die, others can't move me." ”

Hearing this, Guangsheng felt that he couldn't refute it, so he could only hurriedly say goodbye and leave.

In the deep prison cell, Ji Gang looked at his distant Xuanang's back, and his smile turned into desolate and calm, "However, the day he took my life is also approaching." ”

His time in this world is short, I just hope that this kid can truly inherit his mantle, and carry it forward, so that the name of Jinyiwei will never fall...... That's enough! (To be continued......)
