On the eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Yongning, the first day after the snow, the court officials were all smiling when they went to court.

No matter what happens in the court, just after the New Year, I am always in a good mood.

However, as soon as the court officials returned to their respective official offices, they had not had time to share the situation of the New Year with each other when they heard earth-shattering news.

The news came from Dali Temple.

The matter of the Tonyama Armory in Sannan Province has progressed!

The officials of Dali Temple found part of the finished product of the Tongshan Armory, and it turned out to be in Jingzhao!

Years ago, Ling Hanxiao had already confessed that the disaster of the Daoshan South Road Armory was in the Jiang family.

He said that it was because the Jiang family was secretly colluding, and he was forced by the Jiang family's financial resources and the prestige of Jiang Guifei at that time, so he secretly responded to this matter.

He also confessed that a large part of the weapons developed by the Tongshan Armory were transported to Jingzhao through Jinglingbo's Mansion, and the person responsible for receiving these weapons was Jingzhao's Baochun Mozhuang.

The connection between Jingzhao Baochun Mozhuang and the Jiang family is not a very secret thing in Jingzhao.

These confessions, Dali Temple naturally has to find out.

As a result, the officials of Dali Temple did not find any trace of any weapons in Jinglingbo Mansion, and they also found nothing in Jingzhaobao Chunmozhuang.

The craftsmen of the Tongzhou Armory who were hunted down by the Wu Pavilion also knew nothing, and after repeated interrogations, they could not tell what connection there was between the Jingling Bo Mansion and the Baochun Mozhuang and the Jiang family.

Ling Hanxiao failed to provide any clues other than oral statements.

During the interrogation, at the mention of Zheng Ji, he was filled with hatred.

Even if he tried his best to suppress and cover up, there were still many traces revealed.

Under such circumstances, the officials of Dali Temple could only think that Ling Hanxiao was taking revenge for personal gain and deliberately framing the Jiang family.

After all, Princess Changding found out that he had colluded with bandits, set up a private armory, etc., and he had every motive to do so.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor did not have any instructions, these confessions were naturally shelved.

Who would have thought that among the officials of Dali Temple, there was an official named Zhang Jingxing who was very concerned.

He felt that Ling Hanxiao was already a general of the First Guard, with all the prestige of his official rank, and all the things he had done in Tongzhou did not make sense from common sense.

He colluded with bandits and set up an arsenal privately, what is his picture?

Power, prestige, money?

These are not lacking in his current position, and doing so will put him in a huge crisis.

Judging from Ling Hanxiao's past actions, he is not a radical and risk-taking person.

Therefore, the Dali Temple official has never given up the investigation, and is still secretly staring at Baochun Mozhuang.

The hard work paid off, and after days of investigation, he really found some clues.

He checked every transaction record in Baochun Mozhuang, and found two boxes of arrows in a remote warehouse!

After comparison, these two boxes of arrows are exactly the same as the arrows and arrows that Wu Ge got from the mountain in terms of material and craftsmanship.

From this, it can be judged that these arrowheads came from the same place and were made by the same craftsmen.

At the same time, Ling Bo Pei Xian told an important clue.

He admitted that the theft of weapons in Weiwei Temple was also instructed by the Jiang family, and the purpose was to use these weapons in the Tongshan Armory.

However, later, because Mr. Wuge Du Duan developed the bed crossbow, the Jiang family changed their plan and changed it to help Princess Ding gain fame.

No one thought that this incident would also implicate the theft of weapons from the previous Weiwei Temple.

According to Pei Xian, the two things can indeed be connected.

The question is, are Pei Xian's words really credible?

This still needs to be verified, but the arrows were seized in the warehouse of Baochun Mozhuang, which is real!

It was precisely because during the New Year Festival that Princess Changding's Mansion and Baochun Mozhuang were lax, that Zhang Jingxing was finally seized.

Under the instruction of Wang Wenzao, the secretary of Dali Temple, after the imperial court opened the seal, these things

The situation was presented directly to the Imperial Front.

"No...... Impossible, right? His Highness Changding is plotting the armory?"

"I can't tell."

"If it's true, then His Highness Changding...... Isn't it just a thief shouting to catch a thief?"

Although the officials know to be cautious in their words and deeds, it is really difficult to control their mouths in the face of such news.

What a shock!

The first case of the year, when they were caught off guard, was spread out in front of them like this.

For a time, officials who usually had close contacts with Dali Temple, such as officials from the Criminal Department, pretended to have important matters to discuss, and ran to the official office of Dali Temple.

First-hand information, of course, can only be obtained by going to the nearest place.

~~~

"Queen Mother, you say, what's going on in Baochun Mozhuang?"

In Zheng Zheng's opinion, neither Changding nor the Jiang family would be able to leave such a big handle.

Two boxes of arrowheads, who will believe it?

Empress Xue looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's weird." Zheng Zheng replied, "I thought that this was directed and acted by the Jiang family, and they just wanted to try their best to let Changding stay."

After Dali Temple presented these news, his father ordered Dali Temple to summon everyone from the Jiang family for questioning.

At the same time, he also asked Xue Gong to personally go to Princess Changding's mansion to pass on the message, and ordered Changding to cooperate with the review of Dali Temple.

No, it was originally scheduled that he would have to leave Jingzhao tomorrow, so that once he cooperated with the review, he could stay.

How long it will stay, no one can say.

Empress Xue shook her head and said, "This palace thinks that this is not the case."

"What does the queen mean?"

"This palace hasn't seen through it yet, but with Changding and Jiang Baoshan's ability, even if you want to stay, you won't use such clumsy means."

Colluding with the general of the First Guard and privately setting up an armory, this is a big crime, and he will bear this crime in order to stay?

No matter how you look at it, it's not cost-effective, the Jiang family has calculated, and they won't do such a loss-making thing.

When Zheng Zheng heard these words, he couldn't help but think deeply, and gradually thought so.

"So, the long term must be the way? Who has the ability to frame her like this? Just when she was about to leave Beijing?"

"For some reason, Hongu always has a sense of foreboding."

For the position of General Shannanwei, she tried her best to pull down Ling Hanxiao, and in this matter, she and Changding had the same thoughts.

She also knew that Ling Hanxiao's matter was widely implicated, and it would be impossible to judge it for a while, but she really didn't think that this matter had anything to do with Changding and the Jiang family.

Jiang Baoshan, the old fox, even the children of the clan held it down, and he would never take risks in Tongzhou.

While the mother and son were talking, Aunt Fufen, who was waiting in the outer hall, hurriedly came in and said quickly, "Niangniang, there's a message over there."

She presented the note bound to the carrier pigeon to Empress Xue, and then quickly retreated.

She didn't dare to disturb the negotiation between Niangniang and the prince, but Niangniang had instructed her before that once there was a reply, she must tell her as soon as possible, and she didn't dare to delay.

Empress Xue immediately opened the note, and as soon as she saw the words on it, the corners of her lips rose slightly.
