Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Cai Minghe got the confession of the people in the prison and immediately sent the jailer to Xiaogushan.

The secret room in Xiaogushan has been cleaned up by the Chen family, however, when Pei Xie Tang and others rescued Gao Xingzhi, they didn't take anything with them, but later the killer of Yinyue Tower arrived, Xu Danshi was meticulous and sent someone to search for the things in the secret room. By the time Chen Ke went to get it, there was nothing. Cai Minghe asked people to search, there should have been nothing, and the Chen family was naturally not worried.

But when Cai Minghe came down from Xiaogushan, he immediately sent someone to control the entire Chen family.

After that, Cai Minghe entered the palace overnight and told Emperor Xuanqing the news he had obtained.

This time, Emperor Xuanqing did not smash the table.

He took the things that Cai Minghe sent, and for a while, he only felt dizzy in front of him, and the hand holding the evidence turned white even directly, obviously reaching the peak of anger.

Cai Minghe said: "Your Majesty, the minister found these things, they are all Chen Ke's handwriting. This list is the secret murder list that the assassins have been keeping all along, in addition to the prince, there are also many courtiers in the court who have been killed, and there are also many merchants in the market. The blood of these innocent people has been drained, and they are only exchanged for the fame and fortune of the Chen family, which is not a good thing! ”

Needless to say, Emperor Xuanqing himself thought of it.

Over the years, the Chen family has excluded dissidents under his nose, and it is really appalling to eradicate the roots of people who he doesn't like - if it was in the past, Emperor Xuanqing didn't believe it, however, from the Ran Chenglin corruption case to the imperial examination fraud case, the Chen family has people involved, and it is difficult for Emperor Xuanqing to believe in the innocence of the Chen family!

"Your Majesty, next, if you want to verify, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Cai Minghe whispered: "It's like the family of Sun Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went back to his hometown after Sun Di died, but the minister heard that the people of the Sun family met bandits on the way back to their hometown, and all the family members died." ”

"The Sun family ......," Emperor Xuanqing sighed.

At that time, he naturally remembered very well that Sun Di was an upright person and his mastery of etiquette was sincere. However, Sun Di died suddenly at home, and did an autopsy, saying that he had eaten poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and after the court gave the Sun family a sum of money, the Sun family returned to their hometown. It's just that the people at that time were really smart, or perhaps, they were originally from the Chen family, so they hid from the world.

It's a pity for the Sun family!

Emperor Xuanqing looked down, his eyes fell on one of the names, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "There is still Chen Maoli?" ”

Former commander of the forbidden army, Chen Maoli, old general Chen!

At that time, Chen Maoli escorted the envoy to Chen Liang, but suddenly died of serious injuries on the way, at that time it was said that he was an assassin, and everyone believed it, and now Chen Maoli's name appeared in the list left behind by Chen Ke's dead soldier team, and the deep meaning is self-evident.

Cai Minghe nodded solemnly: "Yes, according to what the killer said, Chen Maoli was deliberately killed by Chen Ke because he knew that the Chen family was selling arms to Chen Liang." Your Majesty should still remember that the envoys who Chen Maoli escorted to Chen Liang were the team led by Chen Ke, and when Chen Ke came back, he cried very sincerely, not to mention Your Majesty, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were hidden from him! ”

Emperor Xuanqing nodded, remembering the scene when Chen Maoli's coffin arrived in the capital, and was slightly moved.

"yes." Emperor Xuanqing put down the list heavily: "If only there was a witness!" ”

"There is a witness." Cai Minghe looked at him with his eyes: "Your Majesty, don't forget, immediately Princess Huai'an, Xie Chengyin, was Chen Maoli's most beloved disciple back then." ”

"Cheng Yin?" Emperor Xuanqing stroked his beard, and he remembered that his daughter-in-law was good at martial arts, and she had the credit of Chen Maoli back then.

He nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Cheng Yin is Chen Maoli's closed disciple, Chen Maoli loved her so much back then, after all, there were some clues to tell her." Someone is coming, Princess Xie Chengyin of Xuanhuai'an enters the palace! ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Cai Minghe hurriedly said: "Now that the prince is unconscious, the princess may not be able to walk away!" ”

"Sorry for this kid of the faith." Emperor Xuanqing's eyebrows were gloomy, and after thinking about it, he said: "Jinghe, you take the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to the Huai'an palace to see the prince." Cai Shangshu went with him. What is the result, come back and tell me. ”

This is the meaning of asking Cai Minghe to ask for a confession.

Cai Ming and Ran, together with Jing and his father-in-law, went out of the palace.

The imperial doctor on duty in the imperial hospital today is Qi Qian, and when he heard that he was going to the Huai'an Palace, he immediately straightened out the medicine box and ordered a few imperial doctors to leave with Jing and his father-in-law.

When he arrived at the Huai'an Palace, after Jinghe announced his will, he asked the imperial doctors to diagnose the pulse.

Cai Minghe invited Xie Chengyin aside and asked about the old things.

Pei Xie Tang frowned, very embarrassed: "Don't hide it from Cai Shangshu, Cai Shangshu should know that when I returned from the memorial service to my mother in February, I was trampled on a horse by the son of the Dongting Marquis Mansion, which caused blood on my forehead, and I forgot many things, I really can't remember it." However, my handmaid has followed me since childhood, maybe she knows a thing or two? ”

Cai Minghe was overjoyed: "Then ask the princess's maidservant to let the ministers meet." ”

Pei Xie Tang snorted and asked Wu'er to invite the basket over.

The basket is coming.

Listening to Cai Minghe talk about the cause and effect, her eyes flashed, and she glanced at Pei Xietang: "The princess doesn't remember, but the slaves and maids all remember, when General Chen had an accident, the princess heard the horse rush away, only to fall into the Litao River, and hit the stone in the river to the head, at that time the princess almost lost her life, and then Qi Meng tried her best to save her, and the princess left a life, but for five years, the princess was weak in her hands and feet, unable to speak, and was almost killed by Fan's bullying...... So, the slave remembers it very well! ”

Cai Minghe gestured to the basket and continued.

The basket sorted out his thoughts, and said: "After General Chen left the capital, the slave maid didn't know very well, but before leaving Beijing, General Chen came to see the princess and gave the princess something. ”

"What's that?" Pei Xie Tang was strange.

The basket said: "The slave doesn't know, the slave hasn't opened it yet." ”

"Give it to Cai Shangshu." Pei Xie Tang said busily.

The basket nodded, trotted back to her yard, and after a while, she walked up to Cai Minghe with an old wooden box: "This is it." After the young lady fell ill, this thing was hidden by the slave maid, and when the princess married into the Huai'an Palace, the slave and maid brought it together. ”

Cai Minghe took it.

Pei Xie Tang glanced at it and frowned, she had never seen this thing, and after she came to her resurrection, she didn't ask for a basket, and the basket was kept all the time.

"Princess, the lower officials are open." Cai Minghe said.

Pei Xie Tang agreed: "You can open it." It just so happens that I'll take a look at it too, and I always want to know how the master died. ”

Cai Minghe opened the wooden box.

However, as soon as the thing opened, several people were stunned.

There was nothing in it.

There was only a broken arrow, and a secret letter.

Cai Minghe picked up the arrow and looked at it, it was a good arrow feather, this is something made by the swordsmith of the Eastern Continent, and now it is all used in the Cold Bronze Army. The secret letter was intact, although it was opened, it was not damp, and the handwriting was a little yellowed, but it could still be seen clearly.

Pulling out the letter, Cai Minghe glanced at it, and was shocked: "This, this ......"

His hands were shaking, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Pei Xie Tang took it.

After only a few glances, her face turned pale: "I see! ”

That letter was a letter written by Chen Ke to Chen Liang, talking about the price and quantity of this batch of arrow feathers!

If there is no evidence of what the assassins confessed on Xiaogu Mountain before, then this letter is truly ironclad. Cai Minghe was shocked, and after kicking the secret letter, he said to Pei Xie Tang: "Princess, when the prince wakes up, the lower official will come to say hello again, this matter is even more important now, and the lower official must hurry up to ask for a will." I remember that Mr. Chen Maoli's family is now settled in Xishan, and it will take a lot of time to come and go, but I can't delay it, and I will leave! ”

Pei Xie Tang personally sent him out of the Huai'an Palace, and he was a little worried, so he called Changtian: "You send Cai Shangshu to the palace." ”

Changtian knew about Cai Minghe's assassination of Zhu Xinzhi, so he immediately nodded, and without saying a word, he brought someone to escort him.

Pei Xie Tang returned to the main courtyard.

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital have already diagnosed and treated it once, and they have not found the reason why Zhu Xinzhi is unconscious, Zhu Xinzhi did not have a high fever, and everyone was a little relieved.

When Pei Xie Tang came in, Qi Qian was asking Qi Meng about how Zhu Xin's injuries were handled.

Qi Meng replied one by one, and Qi Qian's gaze fell on her unscrupulously.

He admires Qi Meng very much.

The person in front of him is his daughter, and she has indeed learned medical skills well, which shows that the Lin family has taught Qi Meng extra hard over the years. He was overjoyed in his heart, his eyes kept turning, thinking that as long as he recognized this daughter, he would be able to get the improved son prescription he dreamed of, Qi Qian's eyes became more and more hot, and Pei Xie Tang was slightly frightened.

She frowned, this Qi Qian stayed, I'm afraid it will be a scourge sooner or later!

After she came in, Qi Qian stepped aside: "Princess, the prince's injury is too serious, this doctor's prescription is very good, there is no need to change it, concentrate on recuperation according to her doctor's instructions, if it doesn't work tomorrow, acupuncture can be done." ”

"Good. Reward! Pei Xie Tang is well versed in the way of officialdom, let the basket be rewarded, and send a few imperial doctors away.

Qi Qian said: "Back to the princess, we came to treat the prince on the order of His Majesty, the prince will not wake up for a day, and the officials will not dare to leave for a day, please be gracious to the princess!" ”

The rest of the people also said: "Yes, princess, go back like this, we can't explain to Your Majesty!" ”

"That's good." Pei Xie Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Qian: "Since you want to stay, I won't stop you." Basket, please ask the steward to come over and set up a wing room for a few imperial doctors next to the main courtyard. ”

Qi Meng's face turned pale: "Princess." ”

Pei Xie Tang held her hand, stopped her from speaking, and gave Qi Meng a reassuring look.

Qi Meng breathed a sigh of relief, blessed his body, and left first. Qi Qian's eyes followed her, and when he saw this, he showed a little ambition.
