The celebrant and eunuch Haitao passed the holy decree and led Xue Yan of Dali Temple to the palace.

Between the majestic halls of the imperial city, the spacious brick floors are dry. It's been cloudy lately, and it hasn't rained in a few days; Haitao couldn't help but think of more than half a month ago, when Zheng He died, it was raining.

This Xue Yan has a long figure, good facial features, and a very good leather surface; In both the Jianwen Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, Xue Yan had served as an envoy, and of course the envoys had to pick their looks. And Xue Yan is also quite talented in criminal law, at least very experienced, he has done this since the Hongwu Dynasty, and has been loyal to three emperors.

Because of this, Haitao's heart will go up and down. Yang Qing in the list was not only promoted by Haitao to the master of ceremonies, but Haitao did receive money, more than once! Haitao also asked Yang Qing where the money came from, and Yang Qing only said that when the Yongle Dynasty copied the houses of those criminal ministers, he had accomplices involved; At that time, Haitao didn't find out the root cause and collected the money.

If Xue Yan investigates carefully, can Yang Qing's things be hidden?

Haitao thought about saying hello to Yang Qing, and promised that as long as he didn't confess himself, he would find a way to help Yang Qing. And this Xue Yan has to say a word.

As he walked, Haitao coughed lightly, and when he spoke, he felt that his voice was trembling, "That...... Lord Xue, you have to be a little measured in this matter. ”

"What does Grandpa Hai mean?" Xue Yan asked hurriedly.

Haitao looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor only summoned Lord Xue, but the people from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not among them. So what should be found out about this matter, you have to take care of it. ”

Xue Yan nodded thoughtfully.

The two of them walked all the way to the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and they seemed to be a little silent, as if they were thinking about their own affairs. Haitao walked from the Dongnuan Pavilion to the Dali Temple outside the Chengtian Gate, and it took a long time to walk, and then took Xue Yan back to the palace, which took a long time.

However, when Haitao and the others returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, they found that Tan Qing, the brocade guard, was still inside. Haitao didn't know what the emperor and Tan Qing were talking about.

After seeing the salute, Haitao followed the emperor's instructions, and first said the confession of Wang Yu of the general banner.

At this time, Xue Yan suddenly bowed and said: "The minister asks the saint to show me, how should this matter be investigated?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, but he seemed to quickly understand what Xue Yan meant, and he said quietly: "We must find out whether Gao Sui is against it or not, and tell me first, but it can't be leaked out!" ”

Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment and said, "I ...... in my heart felt that Gao Sui did not rebel. When this lake is a vast opportunity to fight, the most important thing is to stabilize Beiping and not let the imperial court be distracted. If too many people in the DPRK and China are involved, extra caution should be exercised for the time being. At this time, the imperial court could not withstand the wind and waves. ”

Xue Yan bowed his hand deeply and said, "Please suspend all the people involved in the confession from their official positions for the time being, and keep them all at home." It is not appropriate for Jinyi Wei to arrest him and put him in prison. ”

"Exactly." Zhu Gaochi said, "Let Tan Qing and Haitao assist Xue Siqing in doing things, and Xue Siqing will still preside over everything." ”

The three of them bowed together: "The ministers (slaves and maids) obey the order!" ”

Xue Yan obviously didn't really understand what Haitao meant! Within two days, Xue Yan took Jinyiwei and some eunuchs to search Yang Qing's residence, and found a signed note from it.

There was a line written on the note: One hundred taels of gold. and signed with Yang Qing's name.

Xue Yan took less than a stick of incense, and he confirmed the name of the signature, which was indeed written by Yang Qing himself!

Although Yang Qing did not recruit the other six characters to be whose handwriting, Xue Yan deduced and assumed that it was Huang Yan; Then in the old files transported from Beiping, I quickly found Huang Yan's previous handwriting. Through the inspection of the magistrates and judges of Dali Temple, the evidence was nailed with iron plates, and it was confirmed that the handwriting was Huang Yan's handwriting!

The other people involved were still staying at home, and Yang Qing became an exception and was immediately arrested and put in the Beizhen Fusi Prison.

But for Haitao, things are not the worst at this point...... Then, somehow, Xue Yan actually stared at Zheng He's death; Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian and other eunuchs were suspended and added to the list of interrogations.

Haitao suddenly felt that there were more and more yellow mud in his pants! At this point, he felt a little gagged.

It's like the sky is falling! Haitao dragged his tired body back to the celebrant and sat in his room, feeling that his hands and feet were no longer obedient, and he was distracted there for a while.

"Xue Yan......" Haitao gritted his teeth and whispered to himself. He cursed silently in his heart: This traitor who betrayed Emperor Jianwen and wanted to take refuge in King Han! The king of Han rebelled, and immediately made the appearance of breaking off with the king of Han, and in the future, the new account and the old account must be settled together! Let's just wait to see what happens to Xue Yan.

When Zheng He died, Haitao didn't expect that the things that would become so serious and complicated later. He actually sent something for Zheng He and met Wang Jinghong privately, and at this time, even Wang Jinghong was implicated.

As a result, Yang Qing and Wang Jinghong, who are now involved in the incident, are inseparable from Haitao.

Now Haitao regrets it, it's too late!

Haitao could only carefully recall that rainy day more than half a month ago. He thought about it many times, mainly remembering the details......

At that time, Haitao and Zheng He met, and the Jinyi guard and the little eunuch seemed to be outside the door? I guess I didn't enter the house?

But Zheng He's door must be open, Haitao remembers this very clearly! And the people of Jinyi Wei are outside the door, can they hear the words inside, and do they hear the things entrusted by Zheng He?

Haitao can't be sure. He planned to find a eunuch to talk to in the house to-morrow, and he would stand at the door and try it himself.

That's right, rain! It was raining that day, and there was the sound of rain. When Haitao thought of this, he immediately felt a little more luck in his heart!

Later, Haitao went to see Wang Jinghong again, and the place where he met was in the foyer. The little eunuch who followed Haitao knew about it, and Haitao was ready to warn the eunuch as soon as possible and strictly forbid him to tell him about it!

But will Wang Jinghong confess about the meeting?

…… On the jade street on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, a shop has been closed for a long time, but today it suddenly opened.

Gao Xianning, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, went to the drunken immortal building to drink and came back, and found the movement. He guessed that the king of Han had sent people to Beijing for something important before the Huguang War; So he hurriedly ventured up and walked up.

Gao Xianning is a gentleman who pays attention to gentlemen and frankness, but now he really can't be frank. He found that the people inside were wearing large hats, and the big black hats were pressed low to cover their faces. Gao Xianning's heart suddenly tightened, and suddenly it occurred to him that this might be a trap!

Just then, the man at the counter looked up. Seeing this, Gao Xianning secretly let out a long breath, it turned out that the person was Yang Yong of Jinyiwei. Gao Xianning then felt that his legs were a little weak, and he was really scared just now. He said to himself: Why bother?

Perhaps only when King Han completely wins the battle can he truly get rid of such a fear that he will be discovered one day.

"Mr. Gao, please in the study." Yang Yong said quietly.

The two of them closed the door of the shop before entering the study inside. There were some cheap ceramic bottles in the study, and the tables and chairs were covered with dust.

Yang Yong said straightforwardly: "Does Mr. Gao know about King Zhao's rebellion?" ”

"I've heard a little." Gao Xianning said.

Yang Yong seemed a little anxious: "I pondered for a few days, and I always felt that we could make meritorious contributions with this matter!" But I didn't read much, and I didn't understand some things, and I couldn't get started, so I took the risk of waiting here after the unitary hour every day, wanting to consult with Mr. Gao. ”

Gao Xianning nodded silently and looked at the short Yang Yong.

remembers that Yang Yong mentioned Wei Qing twice. Yang Yong is indeed a person who has not read many books, and he has not talked to Gao Xianning many times, so he said Wei Qing twice...... Therefore, Gao Xianning guessed that Yang Yong took Wei Qing as an example, and he wanted to make meritorious contributions to the marquis and worship the prime minister.

"What do you know?" Gao Xianning asked.

Now, Yang Yong, as the confidant of Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, knows a lot of inside information, and immediately told the recent case.

Gao Xianning nodded from time to time, listened carefully, and said: "Xue Yan investigated Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian, and he must have suspected that the two were the masterminds and framed King Zhao for rebellion!" The case was all caused by Zheng He's death. ”

"Huh?" Yang Yong looked dazed.

Gao Xianning glanced at him, "Zheng He and a few other eunuchs are together in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping?" When they went to the West, they were also on the same boat for a long time. Therefore, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong, and Hou Xian can easily be inferred to be the same party.

General Yang also said just now that Huang Yan has a gap with Zheng He; And Yang Qing was found to be Huang Yan's comrade, Yang Qing was the person who was the celebrant and the eunuch, and he could easily see the emperor and empress. Therefore, it can be speculated that Zheng He's death may be related to Yang Qing...... If King Zhao rebels, who wants to see it the most? ”

Yang Yong rubbed his temples vigorously and said with some confusion: "What does Mr. Gao mean, Zheng He's comrades are avenging him?" ”

Gao Xianning nodded and said, "It's just that there is this possibility." Such a major event involves many human lives, and there must be some motive for it to happen. ”

Yang Yongmin thought for a while and asked, "I don't know something...... The written evidence found from Yang Qing's residence was determined to be not fake; So Yang Qing must have colluded with Huang Yan! How did Wang Jinghong and the others know about them?

It's only been more than half a month, and that Wang Yu is far away in Beiping, how was he bought by Wang Jinghong and other eunuchs? ”

"I don't know." Gao Xianning shook his head and said, "But it must be able to withstand inference, and Xue Yan will keep an eye on them." ”

Gao Xianning pondered for a while, and then said, "For example, it is inferred like this: The relationship between Yang Qing and Huang Yan has long been known by Wang Jinghong and others. Wang Yu, on the other hand, was a spy himself, and his usefulness was to spy on King Zhao during the Yongle Dynasty; In the Yongle Dynasty, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong and others are not their current status, they are the henchmen of the Yongle Emperor! ”

Yang Yong nodded hesitantly.

Gao Xianning said: "There are people placed by the emperor's henchmen on King Zhao's side, which is a very common thing, King Zhao is a vassal king after all; When someone said something about King Zhao on the surface, the emperor could verify the truth through many sources. Of course, King Zhao may also really rebel, who can say clearly? ”

He thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "It's Zheng He's death, I think it's probably not that simple." There are a lot of implications behind it! ”
