Chapter 321 Under the Peach Blossom Tree
"How true is what he said?"
Song Jin closed the book and asked.
Qin Chi took the booklet in her hand and threw it to the brazier aside, "This will only be known after investigation, but he said that he was not the only one who had seen the official document, but also the colleagues and judges who worked with him had seen it. "
"Are you trying to drag those two people into the water?"
Song Jin knew that it would take some time to find out if he pulled this out. At least the people sent to Huizhou to investigate would take about forty days just to travel back and forth.
They can only wait patiently for this matter.
Qin Chi said: "I received news that Mr. Yang went to the prison to see Yang Lingyu last night."
"Is this because of anger?" Song Jin was a little annoyed.
Qin Chi comforted him: "This is the beginning, don''t be impatient, madam. Mr. Yang Ge''s good reputation over the years is not in vain. He does have some abilities and has done some practical things, but he is cautious and never falls into trouble. It’s not easy to find his fault, but some time ago he…”
Song Jin gradually calmed down the anger in his heart.
Mr. Yang Ge once went to the palace to find someone to take care of the uncle of the Liu family. Regarding Uncle Liu''s matter, he seemed to be quiet and did not fall into trouble, but he had a bigger handle.
For example, Mr. Yang Ge went to meet Admiral Feng privately. This was a big mistake in itself.
Collusion between officials and eunuchs is usually regarded as a crime of forming a clique for personal gain or being a clique.
Qin Chi continued: "If someone reveals the case of the Liu family, and then implicates Mr. Yang Ge and Admiral Feng, no emperor would be happy to see ministers and eunuchs colluding."
"Can this matter kill the Yang family?" Song Jin was doubtful.
Qin Chi leaned into her ear again and whispered: "I have other plans, but I don''t know what the effect will be."
"What''s the arrangement?" Song Jin asked in a low voice.
There are obviously only two people here.
Qin Chi insisted on speaking close to her ear, so she could only pretend to be cautious to cooperate with him.
Suddenly, Qin Chi burst out laughing, "Just wait and see, I''ll give it a try first."
That night.
The imperial palace at night, Changchun Palace.
Under the moonlight, the simple palace walls and pavilions are faintly visible against the lights.
Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty and his concubine were preparing to go to bed.
Suddenly, a sharp meow broke the silence.
Originally, a cat meowing was nothing.
But then there was another cat meow, a very shrill cry.
Emperor Mingcheng turned over and sat up.
The concubine who was sleeping with him was so shocked that she also knelt down on the bed. This girl was the granddaughter sent by Yuan Shangshu. She had a face as soft as water, and her face seemed no bigger than an adult''s hand. Her panicked look was charming and very irritating. Love. However, Emperor Mingcheng only took a look, then stood up and walked out.
"Somebody come!"
Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty spoke out.
Soon a waiter hurried in.
Emperor Mingcheng said again: "Go and see what''s going on."
"Your Majesty, someone has already gone to check." The old **** responded respectfully.
The cat meows still come.
The sound was particularly penetrating in the quiet night.
Everyone didn''t know what the cat meowing was about, but they could tell that the cat was in the Changchun Palace.
Emperor Mingcheng frowned.
He also ordered the guards guarding outside to check.
The guards moved quickly, lanterns swaying in the night, reflecting their serious faces.
In a corner of the Changchun Palace Garden.
Under a peach blossom tree, the guards discovered something unusual.
Several eunuchs were catching cats there.
The guards went over and helped the **** catch several cats.
Under the tree is a small pile of freshly dug soil, a small hole dug by the cat''s claws.
"Hey, is there something under this pit?" A guard accidentally exclaimed.
Others were attracted to it. Someone took a lantern to shine it, and then splashed some soil with their toes. "It is a wooden box. I don''t know who buried it in the soil. It has obviously been buried for a long time."
"Dig it out." The leader of the guards ordered.
The guard carefully dug out the box. Just as he was about to open it, the leader stopped him and shouted, "Are you going to die?"
The guard was so shocked that he almost dropped the box to the ground. He almost forgot that on the first day of his duties, the Shangguan warned them that when serving in the palace, the less they knew, the longer they would live.
The leader took the box and said, "Take the box back to His Majesty, and find a cage to lock up the captured cats."
The leader takes the box away.
Soon he appeared in front of Emperor Mingcheng.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty asked: "Dig it out from under the peach blossom tree?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard responded respectfully.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Emperor Mingcheng did not open it immediately, but asked: "When will there be a peach blossom tree in the Changchun Palace?"
No one answered this for a while.
After waiting for a while, an old palace maid who was on duty at Changchun Palace was found. She knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, there is a peach blossom tree in the northeast corner of the back garden. It was planted by Concubine Shu during her lifetime."
Emperor Mingcheng was stunned, "Is there still such a thing?"
He only found out about this after so many years.
The peach blossom tree is planted in a corner where no one usually passes by.
The soil on the surface of the sandalwood box has been washed away by water, and there are traces of years buried in the soil for a long time.
The wooden box is beautifully carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and there is also a copper lock hanging on it. Anyone who sees it can tell that this is not something ordinary people can use.
Emperor Mingcheng looked at the box, his eyes bright and clear, and waved the guards to retreat.
Various traces show it.
This box was probably buried by the dead Concubine Shu.
Changchun Palace was once the place where Concubine Shu lived. No other concubine stayed there after her death. Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty only came to Changchun Palace when he missed Concubine Shu. Until Yuan Shangshu sent his granddaughter who looked exactly like Concubine Shu into the palace.
Whether the woman was the granddaughter of the Yuan family, or whether the Yuan family secretly collected and trained her among the people, it didn''t matter to Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.
The important thing is that this person looks like Concubine Shu.
Not only their appearance, but also their words, deeds, and demeanor are very similar. Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty felt as if he had seen the deceased Concubine Shu at first sight.
The older the man gets, the more nostalgic he becomes.
Miss the beauty of the past and miss the ones I once loved.
In my memory, Concubine Shu was a gentle and gentle beauty. She never competed or fought for her in the palace. She only thought about him and admired him.
He is the person who loves him most in this world.
But she died, died at the most beautiful age, and died in his arms. This was the pain of Emperor Ming Cheng''s life.
Even if he is an emperor.
Still can''t save the one I love.
Emperor Mingcheng said: "Open the box."
"Your Majesty, there is no key."
The **** reminded in a low voice.
Emperor Mingcheng asked again: "It''s just an old copper lock. Does it still need a key to open it?"
The **** violently opened the lock.
Opening the lid, there are two things wrapped in brocade.
A mandarin duck jade pendant with a person''s name engraved on it, and a concentric knot made of two strands of hair.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty picked up the Yuanyang jade pendant.
Just one glance, and his face suddenly turned as cold as ice.
The name of the person engraved on the jade pendant.
One is Concubine Shu''s maiden name, and the other is a man''s name, but it is not Emperor Mingcheng!
