Yu Moji felt that something was wrong.

According to what Ling Ai said, Aman's letter seems to be straightforward, but in fact, it contains a lot of information that can add fuel to the fire. Aman must have known that this letter would pass the eyes of many people, and there may be many people who are wary of the country. In such a letter, how could Aman explicitly entrust someone with something?

Ling Ai said, "When she stated the charges in her letter, she mentioned a child who couldn't speak. ”

Yu Moji's figure immediately flashed in his heart. The child had been locked up in the same cell as Aman, and it was unknown whether he had been handed over to the Criminal Department or remained in the Privy Chamber.

Ling Ai obviously caught the expression on Yu Moji's face, "Do you have an impression?" ”

Yu Moji nodded. She didn't know what Aman said in the letter, and she was worried that it would not be right, so she said vaguely, "I have seen it." ”

Ling Ai continued, "According to He Man, this child is half her apprentice and half servant, and if she follows her on weekdays, she may not learn less than you hear. ”

Yu Moji knew that this stroke must be a reason to leave a balance for the cardinal.

Ling Ai said again, "It's just that this kid is really pitiful, he was stolen back from the Jiayuan River when Aman started planning the thousand-year-old gold ten years ago. ”

Yu Moji didn't react in particular, just nodding his head and signaling that he was listening.

She remembered clearly that when she first met Aman, Aman clearly said that Heng'er was a relative of the Yi brothers and sisters. Regardless of which statement is the truth, the description of Heng'er in Aman's letter is too detailed.

However, it was this mute boy who not only got Aman's personal inheritance, but also helped Yu Moji save all the captives. Every time Yu Moji thought of him, he felt pitiful and respectable. She knew in her heart that she was a little biased towards keeping this child. Therefore, despite her suspicions, she did not open her mouth to question.

"This kid's called Yi Heng." After Ling Ai said this, he suddenly stopped.

The corners of Yu Moji's forehead jumped, worried that Ling Ai had seen something from his face; She cautiously probed, "Among the nine surnames in Jiangshan, there seems to be a family surnamed 'Yi'." Could it be that Aman claimed to the outside world that this child was a member of the Yi family? ”

Ling Ai seemed stunned for a moment, but said with a smile, "That's a good guess." That's exactly what He Man said. ”

Yu Moji was actually right, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile. She said in her heart, Aman really turned this matter over. But if Heng'er is really a child of the Yi family, even if she arranges it like this, the other captives may not say anything. Heng'er couldn't argue for herself, and her situation was very passive. Yu Mochen thought about it for a while, and said, "If she steals beams and changes pillars like this, won't the people on the boat be suspicious?" ”

Ling Ai said, "As for how she covered up the past, the letter didn't mention it. Actually, it's not a big deal. Ling Ai obviously didn't care much about how Aman made up a life story for Heng'er. She paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you know Yi Chong? ”

Yu Moji shook his head blankly.

Ling Ai said, "It's General Lao Yuan, that is, his father's former protégé, and his loyal supporter. When General Lao Yuan left the cardinal, Yi Chong was unhappy and left with him. ”

Yu Moji's mood suddenly became a little complicated. She didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Yuan Mengqiu. It's just that according to what she saw before, when Yuan Mengqiu and Xu Fuzi were in mourning, they pretended to be a pair of master and servants, and there was no one else in their family. What's going on with this Yi Chong?

Ling Ai continued, "I heard my father mention that Yi Chong was from a civilian background, and he had just been promoted to Yanshi at that time, although he was a good seedling, his official position was not much higher. He must go, and the Cardinal has no interest in doing much to keep it. It's just that this man is really reckless. Ling Ai sighed, "Those who have been Yanshi are exposed to the most important technologies of the Great Qi Empire on weekdays, where can they disappear casually?" Soon after this man left, he actually left from General Lao Yuan for some reason, and no one knew his whereabouts. ”

Yu Mochen listened to these old things, and was a little puzzled, so he interjected, "Didn't General Lao Yuan also ...... 'disappear casually' back then?" ”

Ling Ai smiled bitterly and said, "He is incognito, for the sake of the humiliation of being removed from the Cardinal Council in the past. His whereabouts were not deliberately concealed. Many people in the Cardinal were friendly with him, especially Jin Niang, who was able to invite General Lao Yuan when he wanted to ask for help. After all, this matter involved a dead knot in Yu Moji's heart, Ling Ai mentioned a sentence and lifted it, "I mean, General Lao Yuan has never really 'disappeared'. ”

Yu Moji bowed his head slightly, and then stopped talking.

She really didn't know what to say.

Ling Ai added, "Ten years ago, the Criminal Department finally tracked down Yi Chong's whereabouts, in a deserted village by the Jiayuan River. ”

Yu Moji blurted out, "Yi Heng is a descendant of Yi Chong?" ”

Ling Ai said, "This descendant Chong is more than ten years older than him. According to his age, Yi Heng should be his son. ”

Yu Moji suddenly felt a little subtle.

If Heng'er really has such a background, or others think that his background is like this, then for Heng'er, the study of Yanjia is a family inheritance. Even if Yi Chong has never taught Heng'er, the master who Ah Man said taught her the science of Yanjia is very likely to be Yi Chong. In this way, all the knowledge that Heng'er has learned has a particularly fair and honest way. The Cardinal originally needed the technology on the ship, and for such a child, he would definitely do his best to protect it.

Yu Moji was very happy for Heng'er in his heart, but it was not easy to show it on his face. She hurriedly changed the topic and said, "That Yi Chong, what happened to him?" ”

"Dead." Ling Ai's words were concise and to the point, "Yi Chong's behavior back then was equivalent to defection, and he should be beheaded according to the law." The only thing to be thankful for is that the wife he married in that deserted village was nothing more than an illiterate village woman. This woman did not learn a little bit of armor from Yi Chong, but she also saved her life because of this, and she remarried soon after. She paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the person in charge of this case didn't find that Yi Chong had any heirs, and the village woman didn't mention it." Come to think of it, Yi Heng had already been abducted by He Man at that time. ”

Yu Moji couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Heng'er's talent is obviously extremely high, but her fate is really a little more unlucky. If he was really the son of Yi Chong, the best ending back then would be to marry into another family's house with his illiterate mother, and I am afraid that he will not have a chance to learn from Yanjia from now on. He was stolen to the Jiangshan boat by Aman when he was a child, perhaps it was a kind of luck.

Yu Moji was silent for a moment, and then said, "Lord Ling must have read Aman's letter. What was he going to do with the kid? ”

Ling Ai smiled and said, "My father is testing him. ”

When Yu Moji heard this, he knew that Heng'er was really fine. She couldn't help but snort, and said, "However, this Yi Heng can't speak." What kind of test does this have to be? ”

"Didn't you record everything you learned from He Man before?" Ling Ai explained, "My father said that he would pick a few pages at random and leave them blank in between, and if the child could fill them out, my father would have planned to keep him in the Cardinal's House. ”

Yu Moji's face immediately became a little embarrassed.

She was extremely confused at that time, and she didn't expect Ling Jingcheng to personally check these manuscripts so quickly, so she put in all the contents related to the Xuantian Blazing Sun and handed them to Ling Ai. If the nearly twenty pages were discovered by Ling Jingcheng, Yu Moji said in her heart, she was afraid that she would have to spend some effort to explain.

Not only that, but the content in front is okay, Heng'er must understand what Yu Moji is talking about after reading it. But the last few pages of her writing were really messed up. Some of them, even if she looked at them herself, would probably have to analyze them before she could remember what they meant. If Ling Jingcheng had picked these pages to test Heng'er, wouldn't Heng'er have been miserable by her?

Ling Ai asked from the side, "What's wrong with you?" His face was red and white for a while. ”

Yu Mochen was anxious, she couldn't see it at this time, so she couldn't help much, so she had to tell Ling Ai the truth.

Ling Ai's eyes showed a little surprise, and he said, "Do you really plan to modify the Xuantian Blazing Sun?" ”

Yu Moji blushed and said in a low voice, "It's just an idea." ”

Ling Ai thought for a while and said, "It's okay. There are actually many technologies that can achieve the same function. The Xuantian Blazing Sun that you speculated may not be the real Xuantian Blazing Sun, and my father should be able to see the difference, and he should not be suspicious of the leakage of the Xuantian Blazing Sun's blueprints. She paused, and then said, "You mentioned this to my father anyway, and I will explain it to him for you in the next few days, so that he will not be suspicious of you; If he asks him later, tell him what you think. Ling Ai said, glancing approvingly at Yu Moji, "Actually, these are not important. If you can really improve the consumption of the Xuantian Blazing Sun, this will be a big deal for the Cardinal. ”

Yu Moji hurriedly thanked him. She actually wanted to make the new Xuantian Blazing Sun as soon as possible, but her eyes were inconvenient now, and she herself knew that this matter was in a hurry, so it was much more important to explain the reason to Ling Jingcheng first. Ling Ai said, "As for the pages you didn't finish...... My father was also a Yanshi after all. Even if he doesn't know much about the technology of the Jiangshan ship, if you really draw a ghost talisman, he will definitely be able to see it, and he shouldn't use those pages to embarrass Yi Heng. She paused, then added, "But if my father really found the last few pages too perfunctory, he would be angry." He may ask, but you have to think about your words first. ”

Yu Moji nodded hurriedly. The top priority is still Heng'er's business, as for herself, she has been scolded by Ling Jingcheng a few times anyway, and it is nothing more than once. She said again, "What will happen to Yi Heng in the future, Lord Ling already has a plan?" She herself was stained with the light of Yuan Yizhi and was able to start from the reserve, but Heng'er's situation was obviously much more difficult than her.

Ling Ai said, "After all, he is a child who can't speak, and there are some things in his life that are not very innocent. So if he can pass the test, the position given to him by the Cardinal will not be very high, perhaps even lower than that of the reserves. But people who are really capable will not be limited by congenital deficiencies. ”

Yu Moji nodded slightly, and made an understanding, "Lord Ling is already very generous in dealing with it like this. ”

Ling Ailuo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, my father wants Yi Heng to follow you. ”
