He raised his head and looked at Yan Ji and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and said to him, "Lord, look... Although the Thousand Machines Division only brought the case of Dou Yue's assassination to death. But the day of Dou Yue's death happened to be the day Dou Xunen was born. Is this some coincidence? ”

Jiang Chengyi also felt strange when he took the file from her hand that recorded the date of Dou Xunen's birth, and another file that recorded the day Dou Yue was killed.

How could it be such a coincidence? Dou Xunen was born, and Dou Jue spread the word that his sister Dou Yue was assassinated in an affair?

Immediately afterwards, he found out the suspicion from the file in January of the first year of Yongchu.

It is recorded in Qianji that Dou Jue once purchased a large number of astragalus, atractylodes, glue, peony, guishen and other medicinal materials to nourish the body and stop bleeding in various pharmacies in Zuo Fengyi. The reason why the Qianji Department recorded this matter was precisely because the fetal medicine in Zuo Fengyi's Yaotang Medical Center was empty and out of stock, so he purchased another batch of fetal medicinal materials from Shuige Tangyetai. Due to the large amount, the Thousand Machines Department noticed something unusual, so they went to investigate and recorded the results of the investigation of the matter.

At that time, although Dou Jue's wife was also pregnant, she couldn't use so many fetal pills.

If... There is another person in Dou Mansion who is pregnant, so he said something else.

He continued to look through the volumes of the other months, and read a strange record from the files of the third month of the first year of Yongchu.

For some reason, a sentence was entered in the case file: In mid-March, Dou's Yuenu appeared in the city, accompanied by Zuo Feng Yigong, swimming in the street, wearing a thin veil, avoiding people.

Jiang Cheng felt strange, and then flipped through a few silk silks, only to see the incident recorded on it: Zuo Feng Yigong's car traveled, went to the suburbs of the Buddhist temple to worship, the road was attacked by bandits, his sister was frightened, wanted to get out of the car and escaped, Feng Yigong Dou Jue protected the left and right, and avoided the city, so as to be saved.

There was nothing to study in detail about this matter, but the Buddhist temple where Dou Jue and Dou Yue went attracted Jiang Chengyi's attention. Baifang Temple is a very famous Buddhist temple in Chang'an, and its incense is prosperous, which is incomparable to the Buddhist temples built in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty at that time.

The reason why Baifang Temple is famous, it is very effective to pray for this place, and it is widely sought after by the people.

And almost all of the people who come here to ask for a child are women.

There was a local rumor that there was a very meritorious Guanyin in the Baifang Temple, holding a net bottle in his hand, and a drop of water in the bottle could make the woman who came to pray give birth as she wished. If a pregnant woman goes to worship, she will be able to have a safe and smooth birth, free from calamity.

At that time, Dou Jue did not accompany his pregnant wife, but accompanied his sister to Baifang Temple to worship, which was enough to make people suspicious.

Thinking of all the clues in front of him, Jiang Chengyi immediately thought of a possibility, and felt a layer of numbness in his heart, only to feel a layer of chill crawling up his head, Dou Yue at that time was pregnant like Dou Jue's wife.

Could it be that Dou Xunen was not really born by Dou Jue, but... Born to his sister Dou Yue?

But this was just a guess on his part, and there was no evidence.

Jiang Cheng was shocked and continued to look for clues in other case files.

Dou Yue, the sister of Zuo Fengyi's Gong Dou Jue, never married, lived in the house, never stepped out of the boudoir, and died in no more than twenty years. It stands to reason that she could not have had a child with someone else. How can you suddenly get pregnant? Jiang Chengyi read many files and did not find anyone who went to the Dou family to propose marriage.

The Dou family is a daughter, the most knowledgeable about etiquette, and the most innocent, how could he do such an outrageous thing that disregards the face of the family?

Jiang Chengyi closed his eyes, sorted out the messy thoughts in his head, and after a while, took a deep breath and continued to check.

If Dou Xunen was really born to Dou Yue, then what he needed to consult the file was not limited to the first year of Yongchu.

He had a strong premonition in his heart, realizing that this matter might also have some connection with the case of Chang Mengjun back then.

Jiang Chengyi slowly stood up from the seat, rubbed his legs, which were numb and aching from kneeling, and forced his body to walk behind the mica screen.

Mu Yun saw him quietly get up and leave, so he hurriedly followed.

Xue Qing, Fourth Uncle Fang, and Yan Ji continued to read the dossier of the first year of Yongchu.

Jiang Chengyi twisted the mechanism of the secret room and limped into it.

Mu Yunsan caught up with him in two steps and helped him. The husband and wife walked together to the pear wood bookshelf in the dark room.

"Ah Yi, what else are you looking for?" Mu Yun saw him go straight to the innermost part of the dark room, so he asked curiously.

"I want to find a record of the Dou clan in the chapter and the year." Jiang Chengyi supported his waist and replied with his spirit. Read a book for a long time

Mu Yun saw his increasingly pale face, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said softly: "The dossier of the chapter and the year... It is only recorded here for three or four years. Most of them are recorded in the Huiji Water Building... If you want to check, when you return to rest today, you will order Xue Qing to send a message to the flying pigeon in Huiji Water Building, and order Xue who is guarding there to transport the rest of the files and check them together? ”

Jiang Chengyi shook his head and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. Can I just read the stamps and the dossier six years later? ”

Mu Yun was puzzled: "You're just... What exactly was found? Why do you need to consult the books of chapters and years at this time? ”

Jiang Chengyi replied: "Ayi, your guess may be right. Dou Xunen is not Dou Jue's son, but the son of his sister Dou Yue. ”

"Dou Yue? Dou Yue, the first talented woman in Chang'an? Mu Yun was surprised, "But Dou Yue never married... He was only twenty years old when he died, how could he have a son? ”

"What you wonder is the strange place in my heart. Therefore, I need to find out where Dou Yue has gone with his brother since he was fifteen years old, or where he has gone with his mother Dou Taijun, and who he has met. I always have a hunch that if the mystery of Dou Xunen's life experience is solved, maybe the truth of Chang Mengjun's case back then can also surface. Jiang Chengyi explained to her.

Mu Yun was silent. She knew that Jiang Chengyi was a person who broke the casserole and asked to the end, if she didn't find out something, she would force him to return to the house, but she was afraid that it would also make him restless.

The two of them searched for the chapter and all the files from six to eight years in the huge secret room.

The case files recorded here by thousands of machines are marked with the hanging mark of the next month, the day and the day, and it is not so complicated to find.

After Jiang Chengyi took out all these volumes, he simply sat cross-legged between the bookshelves in the dark room and immersed himself in reading.

Mu Yun also sat opposite him with a big grin, rubbed his sour eyes, and continued to help him check it.

In the seventh year of Zhang He, Emperor Ning Zhuang, who was still the crown prince at the time, went to Chang'an on the order of his father Emperor Zhang to investigate the corruption case of Sizhou officials.

It happened that Zuo Feng Yigong took his mother Dou Taijun and sister Dou Yue to live in the old house in Chang'an.

The coincidences recorded in the dossier, whether in time or place, made Jiang Chengyi feel like he was on pins and needles, and it was clear that the truth was about to come out, but the traces of the sparse records in the dossier were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, making him unable to figure out the context of the matter.

Eventually, he found evidence in a dossier.

In the summer of the seventh year of Zhang He, Dou Yue accompanied Dou Taijun to the Chang'an Forbidden Palace to visit Prince Ningzhuang. After that, Prince Ningzhuang also visited Dou Taijun to the old house of Dou Mansion.

Jiang Chengyi gradually confirmed the guess in his heart.

No wonder Emperor Ming was so favored by Dou Xunen back then; No wonder, even though Dou Jue was not the best person to supervise the hundred officials and take charge of the Dongfu Division, Emperor Ming still tried his best to appoint him to the position of the head of the Dongfu Division.

But Jiang Chengyi also felt his scalp tingle because of this speculation.

If this is true, then the reason why Ning Zheng united with the Deng family, the Fu family and the Dou family to kill Dou Xunen is related to the royal struggle. The few clues recorded in the file of Qianji also made Jiang Chengyi more certain, and the mystery of Dou Xunen's life experience was inseparable from the bloody case of Chang Mengjun.

The four families of the Lu family, the Yue family, the Murong family and the Lu family, who were destroyed by the quarrel back then, were all scholars who were good friends with Dou Xunen during the Ming Emperor period.

Where in this world are there so many coincidences, but many causes and effects coincide together.

Mu Yun saw that Jiang Chengyi was in thought, but his brows gradually expanded, and he knew that he must have deduced some conclusion, so he put down the file in his hand, walked around the mountain of case files piled up on the ground, leaned next to Jiang Chengyi and asked, "What did you speculate?" ”

Jiang Chengyi came back to his senses, and when he saw Mu Yun next to him, he told her the guess in his heart completely.

This speculation made Mu Yun's heart palpitate in surprise.

Just when Jiang Chengyi and Mu Yun gradually lifted the corner of the curtain that covered the truth in Siyinfang, the atmosphere of the Deng Mansion also became gloomy after receiving the news that Qin Ye had disappeared from Huiji.

When Lin Mu ordered someone to send Qin Ye's news to the Deng Mansion, it was already dawn.

Deng Yuan sat at the foot of the hall, his face was pale, faintly angry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a director of the Eastern Mansion!" There is such a big game, waiting for me to jump into it! What is he when I am?! Grandfather! Sun Er will definitely find out the truth and report Jiang Chengyi and Qin Ye to His Majesty! ”

Deng Guozhong sat on the upper seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, listening to Deng Yuan's scolding, he couldn't help frowning and said: "I'm afraid, even if we have evidence to prove that the explosion in your mansion is related to Qin Ye, we can't get rid of Jiang Chengyi, and we can't report his master and servant to Your Majesty without scruples." This situation has long been a stalemate. Since I was in a hurry to rescue you, I pushed Wang He to the Dongfu Division to surrender himself, and I was already deeply trapped in it. Wang He has been convicted and immediately beheaded after the spring. If at this time, you and I tell Your Majesty again that the case of the Laba explosion was committed by Qin Ye... It will only make His Majesty more suspicious of the Deng family. ”

"But... Grandfather, can you bear to let your grandson get away with being held accountable by the person who framed him? Did he insult his grandson like this? Deng Yuan couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and as soon as he remembered the humiliation he had endured in the Dongfu Si Edict Prison a few days ago, he couldn't wait to rush into the Dongfu Si and break Jiang Chengyi and Qin Ye into pieces.

Deng Guozhong became annoyed, his eyes flew towards Deng Yuan with a sharp cold light, and he said coldly: "What's wrong with you recently?" I don't know why I do things so recklessly? It's getting worse and worse than when I first entered the career, I have a certain mind and act calmly!
