Jinyiwei edicted prison, and there was a sound of footsteps in the gloomy corridor, very neat, it was from Jinyiwei's special cowhide combat boots.

"Master Meng, is this the one in front?"

"Thank you, Old Shen."

"Where is it, Master Meng's matter is my Shen Yiping's matter, you only have half an hour, half an hour to change shifts, and the next official will come to take you out."

"Got it, thank you, I'm here to ...... this time"

"Understand, God knows, you know and I know, no third person knows." Shen Yiping patted his chest and reassured.

Two days ago, Sai Xiaoyu found him and asked him to save a person, who was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison.

This is strange, people are locked up in Jinyi Wei Prison, if Sai Xiaoyu wants to save people, it is not a matter of one sentence, why do you have to go by yourself?

This person's name is Shi Jing, and Meng Yan himself doesn't remember if there is such a figure in history.

Everyone knew that he was wronged, but no one dared to speak for him, let alone release him from the Jinyi Guard's prison.

Because the person he offended was Wang Zhen, who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

This person also has another identity, that is, Meng Yan's brother-in-law.

After Meng Yan learned his identity, he also inquired about people related to Jingci Immortal Master, especially relatives and the like, and he also had two older sisters.

The eldest sister is the princess of Shunde, who married this Shi Jing in the second year of orthodoxy, and died of illness six years later.

The second sister, Princess Yongqing, died at an early age.

Princess Shunde was young when she got married, and she had no children, Shi Jing's two sons Shi Kuan and Shi Hong were both concubines, and now one is seven years old. A four-year-old is raised in the Pony Mansion.

Shi Jing was sent to prison because he offended Wang Zhen, how did he offend him, it is a little ridiculous.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, there was no one in the court to balance Wang Zhen, and the court was a miasma, and the courtiers were also complaining. The mood is not good. He scolded in the house.

He didn't scold Wang Zhen directly, but just took a group of eunuchs serving in the house and let it go.

There was a eunuch named Yuanbao who was close to Wang Zhen, and he was angry in the Horse Mansion, so he ran to Wang Zhen to complain.

Put words into somebody's mouth. Wang Zhen listened to this. This Shi Jing is too rampant. Talking wildly and scolding eunuchs, isn't he himself a eunuch?

And so. found a charge of slander, and sent Shi Jing, the concubine, to Jinyiwei in prison.

This Shunde Duke is not dead, and Wang Zhen probably doesn't have the courage to send the dignified horse master to prison.

You must know that this Shi Jing is also the brother-in-law of the current emperor, and he is also in charge of the golden book and jade butterfly of the Zongren Mansion.

In short, this Shi Jing was sad, and after he woke up, he was in prison.

Shi Jing is the captain of the horse, and he is related to the emperor, although the princess of Shunde has died, but after all, they used to be husband and wife, not to mention that this Shi Jing did not commit any major crimes of robbing the family and exterminating the family, and Wang Zhen did not dare to kill him.

So after being locked in, I didn't let it out again.

His brother-in-law is also a stubborn man, he was arrested, but he still did not change, and kept scolding Wang Zhen in prison.

Naturally, this book can't be on the emperor's desk, it's all on Wang Zhen's desk, which is good, and he takes the edict as his home.

This is also his identity as a lieutenant of the horse, if he were another official, he would have been killed by Wang Zhen a long time ago.

This is known to outsiders, it is not a secret, and Wang Zhen's suppression of dissidents and persecution of courtiers are not one or two absurd things.

What outsiders don't know is that Shi Jing was sent to prison not entirely because he drunkenly scolded the eunuchs of the princess's mansion.

The root is not in anyone else, it is Meng Yan's biological mother who has never been seen, Jingci Immortal Master.

Princess Shunde is his sister, except for her mother's family, who else will be closer than her own daughter?

Jingci Immortal Master lives in the palace, but the late Emperor Daxing allowed Princess Shunde to enter the palace at any time to accompany her mother, and the relationship between the mother and daughter is naturally needless to say.

When Emperor Daxing was in charge of Bintian, he ordered the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies at that time to take his imperial seal.

This matter is not recorded in the living note, and it is said that the Daxing Emperor specially instructed the eunuch who recorded the living note to record this matter.

It stands to reason that Emperor Daxing took his imperial seal to do something, and others can't care about it, but this matter was before Emperor Daxing's dragon controlled Bintian, which is a bit unusual.

The emperor's treasure seal soon returned to the celebrant and handed it over to Jin Ying for safekeeping, whether the emperor had used the treasure seal, no one knew, even Jin Ying, who handled it back then, couldn't say clearly.

Because, he didn't see the emperor's treasure with his own eyes, so this matter became a little secret.

At that time, Emperor Daxing died, and the crown prince subsequently ascended the throne, and the transition of the Ming regime was relatively stable, so naturally no one mentioned this matter again.

However, just because no one mentions it doesn't mean that no one remembers.

Emperor Daxing ordered Jin Ying to secretly take the treasure seal, but he went to Chang'an Palace that night, and the time was not long, only less than a stick of incense.

The next day, the treasure seal was put back in the celebrant for safekeeping.

It just so happened that the next day, Princess Shunde came to see her mother.

Many coincidences were connected in series, and Empress Sun naturally doubted that Emperor Daxing would leave any edict to Jingci Xian's mother and daughter before he died.

Emperor Daxing died very suddenly, and he did not personally write the edict of succession, but after his death, Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, got up early in front of the edict of enthronement.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Empress Sun also asked many times whether Emperor Daxing had left any edicts to Jingci Immortal Master?

But every time the Jingci Immortal Master denied the existence of the edict.

Because the Empress Dowager Zhang is still there, the Empress Sun is not easy to persecute too much, and Empress Zhang pities Jing Ci and is virtuous, and she is very generous to her, and she is not allowed to harm the Empress Sun.

It wasn't until the old empress dowager Zhang and Jingci Immortal Master passed away one after another that the matter of the edict was mentioned again, but not many people paid attention to it anymore.

Because even if there is an edict, it must have nothing to do with the court situation, after all, the emperor has been on the throne for many years, and the overall situation cannot be reversed.

But this edict that I don't know whether it exists or not has always been a heart disease for some people, and at this time, the Jingci Immortal Master has died.

The only people who knew the secret of the edict were those who had a close relationship with the Jingci Immortal Master.

This Princess Shunde is Jingci's biological daughter. The relationship is the most intimate, if there is really such a testament, it is reasonable for Jingci to hand it over to Princess Shunde, no one is more reliable than his own daughter.

But what is sad is that not long after Jingci's death, Princess Shunde was also depressed because she missed her mother, and she also gave up.

The trail of the edict was thus interrupted.

Of course, the line of Princess Shunde is not the only possibility.

There is another person who is also close to Yu Jingci Immortal Master, needless to say, it is Bai Xinyuan, who used to be the first pastry chef in the imperial dining room.

Logically speaking. Jingci would not hand over such an important edict to a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

But even so. Empress Sun still designated Bai Xinyuan as the object of suspicion and spent a lot of money on him.

If it weren't for Meng Yan's involvement in Bai Suxin's case, Sai Xiaoyu would never have sued him at this time.

Meng Yan wasn't interested in any edict, but it could be dangerous for him. He had to nifle that danger.

Bai Suxin's side. In his opinion, there was nothing left to trace.

If the edict is in the hands of Bai Xinyuan. And the words passed on to Bai Suxin, if she had this thing, she would not fail to take it out to save herself.

Lives are dying. What's the value of keeping a meaningless dead thing, besides, when she dies, no one will know about it, and it's even more worthless to die.

And logically, Meng Yan didn't think that Jingci would hand over such an important thing to an outsider.

Either that, this so-called "edict" is nothing, and there is no zài, or Jingci did not accept it at all, and Emperor Daxing did not stay.

Then the reverse is that after Emperor Daxing took the treasure seal away, he didn't use it at all and returned it.

The second possibility is that Jingci Immortal Master does have an edict from Emperor Daxing in her hand, but the content of the edict may be related to her and has nothing to do with others, so she keeps this edict herself.

At most, it will be handed over to her daughter Shunde for safekeeping, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to an outsider for safekeeping.

Whether there is or not, Meng Yan must find out the truth of the matter, which is also related to his safety.

On Bai Suxin's side, Meng Yan couldn't ask directly, but all indications showed that Bai Xinyuan had nothing to do with this matter, and the biggest possibility was that Empress Sun had wasted her efforts.

Then the only one who knows some inside information may be Shi Jing, the concubine who was imprisoned by Wang Zhen.

Before coming, Meng Yan had already thought about it, not to tell him his identity first, and to use trickery to see if he could get some information out of his mouth.

The cell was very clean, with a table, an oil lamp, and a thin figure sitting under the lamp, holding a book in his hand, the title of which was not very clear, and was reading tirelessly.

After all, Shi Jing is the master of the horse, and this identity is on the table, even if he is in the edict, he will have to give him some face.

What's more, this Shi Jing's father is also an official in the court, the avant-garde commander of the government army, and the ancestor is also a hero of Fengtianjing's martyrdom, and he was awarded the general of Wuluo.

This Shi Jing is behind the gate, but he has his own love of reading, advocating Confucianism, loyalty and filial piety, so he was selected by the Empress Dowager Zhang and became the concubine of his granddaughter Princess Shunde.

"The horse master is so leisurely!" Meng Yan came to the prison door and deliberately greeted him in a light tone.

Shi Jing, who was reading and reading, was disturbed coldly, and when he saw Meng Yan being dragged by the eunuchs in the palace, he was still wearing the kind of black fast boots under his feet, and his voice was sharp and thin, and his heart was even more angry.

"Where are the flies, get out of here, don't disturb this pony reading."

"What about the horse, the eldest princess is no longer there, and she didn't give birth to a boy and a girl, you don't have a horse in name only." Meng Yan snorted coldly.

"I don't talk to an eggless person like you!"

"Hehe, after a few days in prison, the master has learned to use this kind of swear language to scold people?" Meng Yan chuckled, the more this Shi Jing regarded him as someone who came to persecute him, the easier it was for him to get words out of his mouth.

"You are not Tang Tong, who are you, why have I never seen you?" Shi Jing suddenly raised his head, stared at Meng Yan and asked.

"Tang Tong?" Meng Yan was slightly stunned, this name is quite familiar, by the way, it is Wang Zhen's henchman, who works as an errand in the celebrant supervisor. (To be continued......)
