"Brother Huang, you must severely punish those students!"
"Brother Huang, those students are so ridiculous, in broad daylight, they dare to slander the reputation of this palace like this!"
"If these untouchables are not severely punished, where is the majesty of the royal family?!"
Changqing rushed into the imperial study in a rage despite the obstruction of the chamberlain, his gorgeous face flushed, and he didn't care about saluting the emperor, so he kept talking angrily. With-Dream- . lΔ
The emperor's face turned pale, and with a "snap", he slapped his palm heavily on the imperial case, and said angrily: "Enough!" β
Changqing was taken aback, and then defended: "Brother Huang, it's obviously their ......"
"Come on, don't 'invite' the second emperor sister out!"
The emperor unceremoniously interrupted Changqing and deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "please".
Knowing the emperor's anger, the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward in fright, and half-pushed and half-persuaded Changqing out of the imperial study.
After Changqing left, the imperial study was quiet, until half an hour later, Cheng Xunli, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry after less than a cup of tea......
Until the next morning, Cheng Xunli came to the imperial study again and carefully reported to the emperor the results of the Jinyi Guard's investigation for a day-
ββ¦β¦ This Ding Wenchang is a son of Zhongzhou, and he temporarily lives in Baiyun Temple with his fellow villagers. Half a month ago, when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Changqing went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense, she met Ding Wenchang by chance, and saw that he was handsome and knowledgeable, so he said a few words to him, but Ding Wenchang didn't know how to lift it...... also reprimanded Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. β
This matter involves Changqing, and it is not good to be honest, Cheng Xunli tried to consider the words, and his speech was a little unfavorable.
"Yang Xi somehow found out about this, so he kidnapped Ding Wenchang and quietly sent him to the princess's mansion, and also gave Ding Wenchang medicine to help him......
Cheng Xunli's head was lower, a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and even his middle coat was soaked.
If this matter reverses the genders of Changqing and Ding Wenchang, it is more like the drama of those gentlemen who flirt with the girls of good families.
After a pause, he skimmed over a certain **, and continued: "After Ding Wenchang's medicinal properties retreated, he felt humiliated, locked himself in the house for three days and three nights, and committed suicide by hanging himself on the third night. By the time the people of the princess's mansion found out, they had already lost their breath. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asked her subordinates to throw the corpse into a mass grave and bury it, but who knew that the subordinate was greedy, and also picked up Ding Wenchang's jade pendant and sold it to the pawnshop......"
Hence today's woe.
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Emperor Long Yan was furious, and walked back and forth in the imperial study irritably, his face turned pale with anger, and his forehead was bruised.
This kind of pickled thing happened to his royal sister, which simply made the royal family lose face and let the world see their Mu family's jokes!
If Changqing and Yang Xi were present at this moment, the emperor would probably have grabbed the teacup and threw it out directly.
After a while, the emperor took a deep breath, sat down behind the imperial case, looked at Cen Yin who was standing beside Cheng Xunli, and ordered: "Ah Yin, you go and investigate this matter thoroughly...... Cheng Xunli, you Jinyiwei fully cooperated. β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cen Yin and Cheng Xunli both clenched their fists and responded in unison.
The Emperor waved his hand irritably, and the two of them exited the imperial study.
The room was warm like spring, and the outside was cold and windy, and it was depressed and cold, but Cheng Xunli didn't feel cold, but breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body was a lot lighter.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Cen Yin's face cautiously, and asked, "Overseer, what now?" β
Cen Yin's eyes were half-drooping, and he stroked the big red sleeve disappreciatively, and only replied with two words: "Search the house." β
Cen Yin, who was standing under the eaves, was shrouded in shadows, his face was unpredictable, his eyes were deep, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a bit of careless coldness.
"Yes, Overseer." Cheng Xunli hugged his fists in response, and his heart was settled.
After a cup of tea, there was a commotion near the Nangong Gate, and a group of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Guards led by Cen Yin and Cheng Xunli gathered outside the palace gate, with cold faces and awe-inspiring momentum.
"Gotta ......"
Cen Yin, who was wearing a red unicorn robe, took the lead in riding out of the horse and headed south, and the others waved their horsewhips high, and they also shouted and followed, dozens of people rode high-headed horses all the way to gallop, the horses' hooves were flying, and the momentum was huge.
The people on the side of the road all avoided it, and they were frightened, and said in their hearts: Dongchang and Jinyiwei went out together, and I don't know which door and which household will be unlucky today.
This road was unimpeded, and soon came to the Yang Mansion, which was also the former Qingyuan Bo Mansion.
Since the emperor issued an order in October to seize the title of Qingyuan Uncle, the faΓ§ade of Yang's Mansion has been very different, not only the plaque with the four big characters of "Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion" written above the main gate has been removed, but even the Zhumen that once nailed 7749 copper nails on behalf of the prince's house has also been demolished, and replaced with a new black lacquer gate.
Today's Yang family has fallen and is no longer a big family in the Zhu family.
There was no need for Cen Yin's orders, and the brocade guards automatically dispersed, surrounding the entire Yang Mansion, and another brocade guard dismounted and knocked on the door knocker.
"Da Da Da!"
"Squeak", the west corner door opened, and the porter was about to ask about the identity of the visitor, but before the words could be spoken, he found that the other party was wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife.
This...... Isn't this Jinyiwei?!
The porter was so frightened that he almost didn't have weak legs, and then he heard from the other party that Cen Yin, the governor of the East Factory, was coming, and the outside of the house was full of factory guards, so he was so scared that he almost didn't have his feet.
"Lao Liu, go to the old lady, Lord Cen is here......"
The porter shouted loudly, and hurriedly opened the main door, welcoming Cen Yin, Cheng Xunli and others into the house, and the heavy and messy footsteps came one after another, like a hammer striking in the hearts of the people
Soon, a short and fat old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday came in a hurry with a few retinues.
The old man was wearing a brown Shu brocade robe, with a goatee, and a pair of triangular eyes that were cloudy and shrewd, it was Yang Xi, the original Qingyuan Bo.
"Lord Cen Governor, long time no see." Yang Xi bowed his hand respectfully and diligently to Cen Yin, he was confused in his heart, he didn't know where he had committed this Dongchang factory supervisor, "The overseer is here, and the contemptible people are not welcome, and I ask the overseer to forgive me." β
"No need to be polite, this seat is only here today to search the house."
There was a bewitching smile on the corner of Cen Yin's mouth, and his beautiful face was more radiant than snow, and his eyebrows were picturesque, with a bit of casualness.
The cold wind of the early morning whistled his sleeves and robes like a blood-colored butterfly with wings ready to fly, exuding a dangerous aura.
Yang Xi was dumbfounded for a moment, cautiously stepped forward half a step, and said with a smile: "Overseer, I don't know what's going on?" As he spoke, he quietly shoved two silver tickets into Cen with his sleeve.
Cen Yin just slanted his eyebrows, and a small chamberlain on the side directly pushed Yang Xi's hand back.
Yang Xi was about to say more, Cen Yin casually raised his right arm and made a gesture, and the two Dongchang fans behind him who were holding scabbards walked towards Yang Xi without smiling, intending to drag him away......
"Who would dare to do it?!" This time, Yang Xi's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted angrily at the two of them, "I want to enter the palace to ask to see the emperor, and ask to see Concubine Hui!" As he spoke, Yang Xi walked briskly in the direction of the gate in three steps and two steps.
Cen Yin didn't stop him, and continued to walk towards the mansion leisurely.
The guards behind him were impressive, their eyes shining like bloodthirsty wolves.
"Overseer...... The Overseer stays! β
After a while, Yang Xi returned the same way in a gloomy manner, panting and chasing Cen Yin, his sallow face was full of ashes.
The gate of Yang's Mansion has long been sealed by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he is like a caged bird, he can't fly with wings at all! No wonder Cen Yin didn't stop himself just now!
Yang Xi's face deteriorated, and his heart was as uneasy as the undulating sea: Is it because he was impeached by the imperial history for seizing the people's daughter as a concubine? Or did the news that he occupied a hundred acres of fertile land by putting money on the seal spread?
Not really, right?
Cen Yin is the dignified supervisor of the East Factory, he will never come forward in person for such a "trivial" trivial matter......
Yang Xi ran to Cen Yin out of breath again, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, and bowed down to Cen Yin and hugged his fist and begged for mercy: "Overseer, if there is anything wrong with the contemptible, or something that offends the Overseer, please let the Overseer know!" β
Cen Yin stopped again, but he didn't look at Yang Xi, turned his head and gently admonished the little chamberlain beside him: "Xiaoshizi, you take a few people to invite all the ladies in the mansion to settle down, so as not to accidentally be bumped into by someone......"
"Yes, Overseer." The little chamberlain respectfully clenched his fists in response, and left first with seven or eight Dongchang fans.
Cen Yin casually dusted off the non-existent dust on his sleeve, and said, "Others, search!" β
After the words fell, he seemed to remember something again, and lightly reminded Cheng Xunli and said: "Commander Cheng, let everyone be careful, don't damage the things of the Yang family." β
"The Overseer is reassured. The little ones will be careful not to disturb the people in the house. Cheng Xunli respectfully agreed, and then a group of factory guards dispersed in an orderly manner.
Cen Yin's attitude is very kind, these Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi guards at first glance, all of them are calm and capable, polite, where are they like the rumored wolf-like factory guards, but like well-trained and disciplined soldiers.
For some reason, Yang Xi panicked even more, as if a piece of his heart had been taken away, and he felt panicked, as if something beyond his control was about to happen......
Bang bang bang!
The fierce heartbeat echoed in his ears like a drum.
Not only Yang Xi was flustered, but so were the other Yang family members.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Xiao Shizi shook the dust in his hand, and ordered in a weird manner, "Everyone be careful, don't bump into a few old men, ladies and girls, otherwise our family will not be able to explain to the overseer." β
"Yes, Grandpa Shi." Those Dongchang fans promised repeatedly.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they simply gathered the old men of the Yang family near the second gate with their female dependents, and drove them all into a three-room wing room like driving livestock.
In the wings, there was a commotion, and the men and goddesses who were described as messy were of different colors, looking at each other, shocked, ashamed, angry, and afraid......
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in pink snuggled uneasily next to an old woman who was close to her sixtieth birthday, and muttered, "Grandmother, this is ...... What's going on? β
The others also looked at the old woman in unison, and they felt a little bottomless in their hearts, Yang Xi was not here at the moment, Mrs. Yang was their pillar.
Mrs. Yang patted the back of the pink-clothed girl's hand, and confidently comforted: "Sixth girl, it's okay, there are concubines here, they don't dare to do anything to our Yang family!" "Who doesn't know that Yang Huifei is the most favored by the emperor in the palace.
Hearing this, everyone's hearts settled down a little, and they said to themselves in their hearts, yes, their Yang family still has Hui Niangniang!
The room was quiet, the needle drop could be heard, the door of the wing room was not locked, and there were two Dongchang fans guarding the door, and they didn't seem to be smiling.
Everyone looked at the factory guards outside with some restlessness, watching them search around back and forth, and from time to time someone shouted violently: "Search carefully one by one, don't let go of any corner!" That look and tone had a posture of intending to dig three feet into the ground.
As time passed, the Yang family's heart, which was originally hanging in mid-air, became higher and higher, as if the heart was held in the palm of an invisible palm.
The air around them became tighter and tighter, and fear and apprehension gradually diffused in silence, as thick as an impenetrable fog, overwhelming people's breath.
"Mother...... "Mother," a woman in her thirties said to Mrs. Yang in fear, "this should be ...... It can't be a raid, right? β
This sentence spoke the hearts of several people around him, just like a pebble falling into the water of a lake, and suddenly there were circles of ripples, undulating waves.
Everyone's faces showed a deep sense of panic and uneasiness.
If the Yang family is really raided, the man will be sent 3,000 miles to the bitter cold land of Xinjiang over there, however, the worst is the woman, and the female dependents will become official slaves or be sold into the workshop, then what awaits them will be hell on earth......
"Concubine Hui! Our Yang family is the mother of Concubine Hui. A woman in her forties shouted excitedly, "Concubine Hui will definitely not watch the Yang family being raided!" β
At this time, for the Yang family in this room, when they heard Yang Huifei, it was as if a drowning person had seen a piece of driftwood.
Yang Xuyao, the third son of Yang who was sitting in the corner, changed his face several times, and suddenly he stood up, strode to the door of the wing, and said in a thick voice to the two Dongchang fans who were guarding outside: "Hey, I am the grandson-in-law of Duanmu Shangshu of Hubu......
He was only halfway through his sentence when his voice stopped abruptly, and his gaze fell on a long figure outside the window.
The beautiful young man in the big red brocade robe was passing through the second gate, strolling leisurely in the direction of the inner courtyard, the other party seemed to notice something, turned his head and looked in the direction of Yang Xuyao, for a moment, his deep dark gaze seemed to be a beast staring at the prey, which shocked Yang Xuyao's eyes and felt a chill in his heart.
When he looked at it again, the other party smiled indifferently, as if what he had just seen was just his illusion.
"Lord Cen ......" Yang Xi didn't notice Yang Xuyao at all, and still followed behind Cen Yin step by step, carefully observing his words and feelings, and stopped talking about it.
"Overseer!" Another shrill male voice just suppressed Yang Xi's voice.
Xiao Shizi walked quickly in the direction of Cen Yin with two Dongchang fans, and said with a fist: "Overseer, Xiao just found some ...... 'young women' in a courtyard in the northwest of Fuzhong. Xiao Shizi's tone was full of meaning.
Cen Yin raised his eyebrows and reprimanded lightly: "Didn't you ask you to take someone to remove all the ladies in the mansion first?" β
"Overseer, the little one has already moved all the ladies to a side room in front of him," Xiao Shizi replied with trepidation, "Those are not the ......ladies of the mansion," he said, and he glanced at Yang Xi behind Cen Incognito with complicated eyes.
At this time, Yang Xi hurriedly stepped forward and clenched his fists and explained: "Governor, it is indeed not the lady of the mansion, it is a Yangzhou thin horse bought by the contemptible people, and it is intended to be presented to the emperor." Yang Xi looked at Cen Yin flatteringly, and smiled almost flatteringly, "If the overseer can see it, then it is their blessing, and the overseer can pick it at will!" β
There are many waiters in this palace who are paired with the palace maids, and there are many waiters who have distorted hearts, and they have some hobbies for women that are not enough for outsiders.
At this moment, Yang Xi wished that Cen Yin was this kind of person and could do what he liked.
Cen Yin casually raised his hand at the pebble and waved it, and the clever pebble immediately understood his mind and ordered the people below to do something.
Cen Yin continued to walk in the direction of the inner courtyard, walking slowly.
After all, Yang's Mansion was once an uncle's mansion, and the first uncle was even more favored in front of the first emperor. This mansion covers an area of at least fifty or sixty acres, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, carved galleries and paintings, and the decoration is magnificent and luxurious.
Xiao Shizi has already walked through the mansion roughly, and led Cen Yin in front, occasionally introducing the courtyard and scenery in this mansion, saying that it is orderly, it has only been less than an hour, and it is as if it is his own home.
Passing through another barbarian gate, several people walked along a hand-copying verandah, when suddenly there was a noisy commotion in front of the right.
Cen Yin's steps paused, and when he heard the reputation, he saw an open red Ruyi door four or five zhang away, and the three big characters "Mi Fangyuan" were written on the door.
There were two brocade guards guarding outside the courtyard gate of Mi Fang Yuan, and inside the door was crowded with people, making a lot of noise.
As soon as the Jinyi guard guarding the door saw Cen Yin, he hurriedly came up and saluted, and reported: "Overseer, my subordinates have found some teenagers in this Mifang Garden, and they plan to drive people to the 'Tibetan Xiangyuan' next door, and temporarily lock up those Yangzhou thin horses......
Between the words, the surroundings became even more noisy, and a few brocade guards in Mi Fang Yuan rudely pushed and drove out a dozen teenagers inside, making it as noisy and noisy as a vegetable market.
"This lord, don't be so rude! The slave family will go ...... by themselves," a young man in a cuiyi said delicately, and actually threw a wink at a brocade guard.
Another young man in blue asked angrily, "What the hell do you want to do?!" I want to see the old lady...... Old gentleman! The young man in blue looked in the direction of Cen Yin and Yang Xi, let out a cry of surprise, and rushed over.
Of course, those brocade guards didn't dare to let the young man collide with Cen Yin, and one of the brocade guards kicked the young man in the back knee, and the young man fell to the ground screaming in pain.
"Old lady......" When the young man in blue raised his eyes to look at Yang Xi, the dark eyes were sparkling, pitiful, and the already loose placket was loose, revealing a slender neck and delicate collarbone, which was extremely attractive.
The corners of Cen Yin's mouth hooked a smile that seemed to be a smile, and he swept half a circle towards the teenagers with different expressions behind him.
I saw that those teenagers were greased and powdered one by one, and their appearance was either delicate or enchanting or handsome or charming, but they were still fat and thin, each with its own merits.
Obviously, these teenagers have been carefully selected and trained.
"Yang Xi, you are really 'interested'!" Cen Yin sighed with his hand, and glanced at Yang Xi lightly, as if to say, Yang Xi, it turns out that you still have such a good male habit!
"Overseer, you misunderstood." Yang Xi was almost sweating profusely, and hurriedly explained, "These teenagers are ...... It's ......"
Yang Xi was hesitant, as if he was afraid, but when he saw Cen Yin's frowns, he seemed to be impatient, so he was frightened and anxious, and blurted out directly: "This is a ...... for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Changqing."
"Oh?" Cen Yin replied faintly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
"I will not dare to deceive the Overseer." Yang Xi hurriedly emphasized, smiling flatteringly.
Once the words began, the rest was simple, and Yang Xi poured it out like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
These beautiful young men in Mifang Garden were all collected by Yang Xi from all over the country in order to please Changqing, and when he trained the people, he would send them to the princess's mansion to Changqing.
Yang Xi said while carefully looking at Cen Yin's expression, seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, and even with a faint hint of interest, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Also, this Dongchang was originally responsible for monitoring the movements of the imperial court, and Cen Yin was afraid that he knew seven or eight out of ten about those unsightly secrets in Beijing......
Between the words, two brocade guards came over, clamped the blue-clothed young man left and right, and dragged him in the direction of Zangxiangyuan, the young man was so frightened that tears and snot flowed together, and he screamed: "Old lady, save the slave family!" Old lady ......"
"That's it?!" Cen Yin stroked his sleeves, looked at the hysterical blue-clothed young man with contempt, and his tone was even colder, "Yang Xi, Yang Xi, you won't be using Her Royal Highness the eldest princess as a cover, right?" β
Cen Yin's feminine voice was unhurried, but it was as sharp as a blade, as if questioning, can the eldest princess of Changqing look down on these things?!
"Overseer, even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't dare!" Yang Xi's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly defended himself, "You know, I have eaten too many delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally I have to taste some porridge and side dishes, both of which have their own flavors, so I always have to adjust them from time to time...... These are just some things, Your Highness can just try them, and they can't be put on the table! β
"Then these are delicacies from the mountains and seas, or are they porridge and side dishes?" Cen Yin asked casually.
"......" Yang Xi was stunned, he didn't expect Cen Yin to ask like this, a trace of wandering flashed in his eyes, and he was upset again, not knowing how to answer.
If he replied that these teenagers were porridge and side dishes, then what were the "delicacies of the mountains and the sea"?!
"Yang Xi, it seems that you and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have a lot of secrets......"
Yang Xi was frightened into a cold sweat by Cen Yin's words, and even the middle coat on his body was almost drenched with sweat.
When it comes to this, I can't hide it.
In other words, even if he doesn't say it, with Cen Yin's ability, he can naturally order his Dongchang Fanzi to investigate, although it takes some effort, but he will definitely not be able to hide Cen Yin's ears and eyes, and he will not be able to do anything good at that time......
It's just that in the snap of his fingers, Yang Xi was already thinking about it, the sweat on his forehead was gurgling down, and the whole person seemed to have been soaked in water, wet.
Yang Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead in a panic, gritted his back molars, and finally told the inside story: "Overseer, don't hide it......
In the past three or four years, he has not only searched for beautiful men in Dasheng for Changqing, but if Changqing has taken a fancy to any young man, he only needs to mention one sentence, and he will "invite" people to the princess's mansion for Changqing.
Yang Xi tried his best to consider the words, not mentioning the kidnapping, nor the fate of these teenagers, but just talking about this matter.
Seeing that Cen Yin was silent for a long time, Yang Xi's heart rose again, his eyes flashed rapidly, and he remembered something.
About ten days ago, he sent another lift to Changqing, and the person sent it, but what happened after that was none of his business, who knew that the lift actually committed suicide!
Thinking about it, Yang Xi frowned and secretly clenched his fists.
Over the years, he has given the eldest princess of Changqing not dozens of good family sons to dozens, even if there are a few who were a little unwilling at first, and then they didn't obediently follow Changqing's wishes, and the scholar named Ding Wenchang didn't know if he was stupid to read, obviously eating and drinking spicy food in the princess's mansion, as long as he could please Changqing, even if he fell off the list in Chunqiu, he could also ask Changqing to help him maneuver, and the future was very good, but he couldn't think about it, so he had to go to the hanging beam to commit suicide!
It's really an elm head, and it's stupid!
Could it be that Cen Yin came to search the mansion this time because of the Ding Wenchang who committed suicide?
Although Yang Xi heard yesterday that the students beat the drums and sued the eldest princess of Changqing, he never felt that this had anything to do with him.
Could it be that those students made trouble because of Ding Wenchang, so to speak......
Yang Xi's heart became more and more uneasy, he didn't dare to inquire, so he could only smile and say, "Please also ask the overseer to help me say something good in front of the emperor." I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart, and Concubine Hui will also remember it in my heart. β
Cen Yin didn't pay attention to him, only squinted at him with the slightly raised corner of his eye, and continued to walk forward in stride, throwing a sentence at Xiaoshizi and a few Dongchang fans: "Continue to search for this seat!" β
"Yes, Overseer." Others respectfully agreed.
Looking at the back of Cen Yin's resolute departure, Yang Xi's heart became even more uneasy, and he glanced back in the direction of Zangxiang Garden.
Obviously, Cen Yin was not interested in the skinny horses and the little ones...... Also, it's just a cheap person who doesn't enter the stream, how can Cen Yin be eye-catching!
"Overseer!" Yang Xi gritted his teeth and quickly caught up with Cen Yin, and proposed, "I have a little granddaughter, fourteen years old, not only the country is beautiful and fragrant, but also ice and snow are smart, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... She has admired the Overseer for a long time, and if she can serve the Overseer, it will also be a blessing from her three lives! β
Yang Xi said it very nicely, but his heart was dripping blood: Originally, this little granddaughter was going to be sent to the palace instead of his unlucky fifth granddaughter after being trained, but now it can only be like this...... However, Cen Yin can be regarded as powerful now, and it is not too much of a loss!
Cen Yin turned his head to look at Yang Xi, his red lips were slightly hooked, in stark contrast to the fair skin, his lips were like fire, his skin was like snow, revealing an extreme charm, as if there were ghosts in those monsters.
Yang Xi almost didn't dare to look directly at Cen Yin, and he was happy in his heart: It seems that this time is right in Cen Yin's heart!
Cen Yin stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "Yang Xi, you better go down and rest." β
Yang Xi was stunned, and couldn't help but speculate about Cen Yin's intentions again, however, this time, he didn't have a chance to say anything, so he was half-pushed and half-driven down by the two Dongchang fans.
Looking at Yang Xi's embarrassed back, Cen Yin's red lips were slightly curled, and he flicked his sleeves casually, and walked in the other direction.
The sun is gradually rising, and the factory guards are busy, carefully searching every place of the Yang family, pavilions, flowers and trees, rockeries, cabinets and bookshelves, and almost tearing down the walls......
From the morning to the dusk, Cen Yin never left, sitting in the main hall, with his own small waiter serving tea and pouring water, before and after serving.
Seeing that the sun began to sink in the west, there were waves in the house again.
"Overseer......"
Cao Qianhu, who was dressed in green clothes, hurriedly walked over, with a happy face, glanced at Cheng Xunli on the side, and said to Cen Yin on the top: "Overseer, I just discovered ......."
The teacup that Cen Yin picked up was put down again.
Cheng Xunli immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Governor, what did you find?" β
Cen Yin's enchanting black eyes flashed with a light like a meteor, and his red lips pursed slightly, before he said slowly: "Secret room." β
Chamber! Cheng Xunli's pupils shrank sharply, and his spirits perked. There are not a few noble officials in this court who have secret rooms, and the secret rooms naturally represent some secrets that they don't want people to know.
Yang Xi, the former Qing Yuanbo, has any secrets that he doesn't want people to know!
Cheng Xun's eyes flashed, feeling that this errand might be unexpected, and asked cautiously: "Overseer, do you think we should go and take a look?" β
Cen Yin's response was to stand up directly and stroke his robe casually.
Cao Qianhu immediately understood Cen Yin's intentions, respectfully led the way in front, and went to the northeast of Yang's mansion, until he came to a courtyard called "Changhetang".
Changhetang is built against the lake, one side is a small lake, rippling blue waves, the other side is lush with green trees, rockeries are stacked, it is very quiet and elegant.
ββ¦β¦ Governor, this Changhe Hall is the residence of Yang Hui, the first Qing Yuanbo, and it has been empty for more than ten years since Yang Hui passed away. Cao Qianhu led the way while introducing Cen Yin in a sharp voice.
Although Changhe Hall, which had been abandoned for more than ten years, was cleaned regularly by servants, it was still depressed and dilapidated.
The courtyard was empty, and most of the furniture had long since been received into the storeroom, leaving only the empty room.
Cao Qianhu led Cen Yin and Cheng Xun into the study on the east side of the room, pointed to the front and said: "Governor, the things in this study have been emptied, and only two bookshelves are fixed on the wall......
At this moment, the mechanism of the secret room has been found, the secret door has been opened, and the dark behind the door is a dark place, and a cold musty smell is coming to the nose, and the study seems to be a raging wind, and it is a mess.
No one has entered the secret room yet, just waiting for Cen Yin.
The two Dongchang fans hurriedly cleaned up the area around the secret door a little and cleared a way for Cen Yin.
"Overseer, watch out for ...... below"
Cao Qianhu led the way in front with a torch, and everyone entered the door in a hurry, and walked down the stairs.
The air behind the door became more and more humid and cold, and in the dim light of the fire, you could see that the corners were covered with cobwebs and dust, and no one had been to this place for a long time.
After descending a dozen stone steps, they came to a small secret room, surrounded by mottled walls, and in addition to a desk and a circle chair in front of them, there were three mahogany cabinets side by side on the west wall.
Cen Yin slowly checked in the secret room, first swept the four treasures of the study on the desk, and then opened the cabinet one by one, and there were some pen, ink, paper, inkstones, books, account books, and clothes in the cabinet......
When he opened the third cabinet, he was greeted by a carved rosewood box about a foot wide, with a small fish-shaped copper lock hanging from the box.
Cen Yin casually played with the carved copper lock, and then raised his right hand, Cao Qianhu handed over a thick copper wire to him.
Cen Yin poked the copper wire into the lock and turned it two or three times at will...... Just listen to the "click", and the copper lock is opened.
The eyes of the three were focused on this rosewood box.
Cen Yin cautiously opened the box, glanced inside, and immediately closed it again, his black eyes narrowed, as if a streamer flashed.
Then he picked up the box and returned along the stone steps, only lightly commanding Cao Qianhu: "Continue to search." β
Cheng Xunli looked at Cen Yin's back, he was actually a little curious about what was in this box, he glanced at Cao Qianhu who was expressionless again, and he still didn't dare to inquire after all, but he responded in unison with Cao Qianhu: "Yes, Overseer." β
For the people of the Yang Mansion, this was destined to be a sleepless night, until the night completely fell, the factory guards still did not leave, holding torches and searching around the mansion......
In the ink-dyed night sky, the moon and stars are scarce, the cold winter night is bitingly cold, and the lights in the imperial study are bright.
The rosewood carved box appeared prominently on the emperor's desk.
In the dim light, the emperor's handsome face had a somewhat complicated expression, and his eyes stared at the box slightly for a moment.
Cen Yin stood on the other side of the imperial case and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that if he could take advantage of this incident, he would take advantage of this incident to settle the affairs of the Yang family by the way, and it would never be a trouble, so he ordered someone to search the Yang Mansion...... A secret room was found in the former residence of Yang Hui, the former ancestor of Xianqing Yuanbo, which was found in the secret room. β
After the initial shock, the corners of the emperor's mouth slowly hooked, his eyebrows and eyes also relaxed, his eyes could not hide the thick joy, and the shadows in the day were instantly swept away.
"Ah Yin! Good, good! The emperor laughed loudly, looking at Cen Yin's eyes softening more and more.
Naturally, there is no shortage of talented people beside the emperor, among them, there are those who are talented, and there are also those who are outstanding in martial arts, but there are so many people, and only Cen Yin knows his sacred heart best!
For so many years, the Yang family has deliberately manipulated themselves with this thing, but he can't just send someone to seal the mansion and search it, that will only attract people's attention. Or Ah Yin is smart and knows how to take advantage of this opportunity.
The emperor took a deep breath and cautiously opened the box, and on the red velvet cloth in the box was a holy decree of bright yellow auspicious cloud pattern silk brocade.
The emperor looked at this holy decree, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, his eyes were sour, and even his throat was a little dry, and his heart was surging.
In the blink of an eye, it has been seventeen years......
A lot of past events flashed quickly in the emperor's mind, and the emperor's hands were subconsciously clenched slightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging.
He took a deep breath and calmed down, and finally raised his hand to take out the holy decree in the box, and unfolded it with a "snap", his eyes burning.
"Seventeen years...... I have been worried about this will of my father for seventeen years, and I have finally found ......," the emperor muttered to himself.
Over the years, he has stepped through one hurdle after another, one difficulty after another, and finally solved everything that stood in his way, and finally sat firmly on the throne and stabilized the prosperity of Xuanlong.
In a moment, the emperor slowly rolled up the holy decree again, and his eyes bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and his face was radiant.
"I, sure enough, I am a child of destiny!"
His voice was slightly hoarse with excitement.
Yes, he is the true Son of Heaven, he is the rightful Son of Heaven!
The Emperor glanced at the curled decree again, and then resolutely threw it out and threw it into the brazier beside him.
The orange-red flames rose abruptly, devouring the bright yellow brocade little by little, and the flames burned fiercely, and in a few breaths burned the holy decree beyond recognition, and finally burned to ashes.
