Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 460 The Whistleblower

"Su Yizhao!" Jiang Yongnian smiled, "I'm not in the capital, please take care of my parents, thank you!"

Su Yizhao nodded immediately, "Don't worry!"

Throwing a small package onto the deck forcefully, Su Yizhao shouted, "Brother Zichen, please bring a letter to my uncle."

Jiang Yongnian picked up the package, opened it, and found a letter inside, which was written by his uncle himself.

Remembering that Su Yizhao said before that he would ask his uncle to take care of him, he guessed that this should be a recommendation letter.

He will pass by Qin Nan's mansion, so Su Yizhao let him take it, which is most suitable.

Look below, there is a small box the size of a palm.The small box was heavy, and he was very surprised. When he opened it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

I saw some gold leaves, gold beans, some silver coins and silver ingots in the box, which filled a box.

The silver slots were cut directly like silver cakes, this is for his convenience.There is also a small stack of silver notes on the top. I opened it and counted a little, and found that there were actually 1000 taels.

"It turns out that Su Yizhao is so rich that he even prepared some money for me."

Jiang Yongnian felt strange at first, and then felt it made sense.

Su Yizhao had said before that she was making a small living by herself, but he didn't expect that Su Yizhao was not a small business.

There was a popular custom in the Dayun Dynasty, and it was the most common for literati to give money to each other.

I am about to go on a long journey, and the friends who practice it can pool some funds to avoid suffering on the road, which is considered a kind of assistance.

Of course, how much to send depends on your ability.

"The files are all here." Kang Shiwen put all the files in front of Su Yizhao, and then stopped talking.

"Thank you, my lord!" Su Yizhao saluted.

"The emperor asked you to check the old events of the late emperor's time, but the records back then were not detailed, and the family members of the Sheng family were not clear about the conspiracy. Also, the 23 corpses of the master of the Sheng family have been identified. Except for the three charred corpses that cannot be Except for identification, everything else will not be mistaken."

Kang Shiwen's meaning is very clear, the emperor said that there are still remnants of the Sheng family, so it can only be that the three charred corpses are different.

Su Yizhao had already met Sheng Lanqing, so he naturally understood that the charred body was just Li Daitao's stiff body.

She suspected that the eldest princess came up with this strategy in order to save the lives of her daughter and son-in-law.

Then the question arises, how did the eldest princess know in advance that the Sheng family was planning to rebel, so she made preparations early?

If the eldest princess knows about it, what about the first emperor?Did the first emperor also receive the news in advance, otherwise how could the Sheng family have suffered such a disastrous defeat?

The possibility of knowing in advance is that there is an informer, perhaps being betrayed, so I took precautions in advance.

"There are servants in the princess mansion, how did you identify them at that time?" Su Yizhao asked doubtfully.

"At that time, it was based on the accessories on the body, but this is only one of them. The servants of the Princess Mansion will be registered, and this will be recorded in the yamen."

Seeing that Su Yizhao was flipping through the file, Kang Shiwen said: "At that time, I carefully checked the number of people after reading it. It happened that I had followed up and learned that the eldest son of the Sheng family and his wife entered the eldest princess's mansion with the young daughter in their arms, so the number of people matched. .”

Su Yizhao nodded, "Does the emperor suspect that someone escaped through the fire and then feigned death?"

"The lower official is not very clear about what happened back then, can your lord explain it in detail?"

Su Yizhao raised his head and looked at Kang Shiwen. When he first came into contact with Kang Shiwen, he felt that this person was very authoritative and had a surly temperament.

But after getting along for a long time, I realized that this person has no bad intentions, but is just doing his duty.

The Dali Temple officials all carry a hostile spirit, which is actually accumulated after many years of execution of the prisoners.

If people are not ruthless, they will not stand up!
If you want to gain a firm foothold in Dali Temple, you have to be ruthless.

"Back then, I was just the prime minister of the Dali Temple. At that time, I was young and vigorous. Not only had I heard the reputation of the Sheng family, but I had also competed with the heir of the Duke of Zhen. He was good at it, and I lost to him."

Su Yizhao didn't hear the disdain and anger towards Sheng Guo Gongfu from Kang Shiwen's mouth, it seems that he still has a sense of sympathy?
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Lord Zhen Guo conspired against him. Sheng Lanqing took his wife and young daughter to the eldest princess's mansion that day. They all said that they kidnapped the eldest princess."

Kang Shiwen walked to the window, his face full of sighs.

"Duke Zhen abandoned martial arts and followed literature when he was not in doubt. Since then, he has made contributions to the world and the people. If he hadn't given birth to ambition, Duke Zhen's mansion would have been prosperous for at least a hundred years."

Listening to Kang Shiwen's words, Su Yizhao was noncommittal.

Don't talk about Duke Zhen, let's talk about King Duanyang!

Is the life of King Duanyang easy again?He didn't return to Beijing for so many years, and his son-in-law was still left in the capital as a proton.

"Everything you want to know is in the file. Let's guess now. If there are still remnants of the Sheng family, who will be alive? I saw the body of Sheng Lanqing's eldest son with my own eyes. That child is smart. , Many people have seen the child's appearance."

Su Yizhao suddenly thought, so this is the reason why he didn't keep his son-in-law?
Because that son-in-law has been seen by too many people, it is impossible for Li Daitao to freeze.

"It's useless for Mrs. Shizi and the young girl to survive. Only Sheng Lanqing, if Sheng Lanqing is still alive, avenges the family and makes a comeback, then the emperor and the country are in danger!"

Su Yizhao suddenly felt that the words "It's useless for Mrs. Shizi and the young girl to survive" were a bit harsh. No one should be underestimated in this world.

"Then the Sheng family plotted rebellion in order to usurp the throne?"

As soon as Su Yizhao finished speaking, Kang Shiwen gave her a strange look.

"Of course it's for the supreme throne, don't you really think it's the Qing emperor's side?"

The files were not allowed to be taken back for reading, so Su Yizhao stayed overnight in Dali Temple.

"You're not sleeping yet!" Xiangsi laid down on the table boredly.

"Go to bed first! I have to read all the files tonight."

Su Yizhao stroked Xiangsi's furry belly, and in this silent night, only Xiangsi was with him.

Xiangsi looked around, "It's not fun here at all, it's cold, and it looks a bit creepy."

It curled up beside Su Yizhao's hand, it was rare and honest.

"Don't run around, there are generals here. If they see you, they will either chop you up or crush you flat."

"It's not as fun as at home. Some people take a bath and some people feed them delicious food."

Su Yizhao's intimidation made Xiangsi completely honest, she fell asleep on the table and became quiet.

Su Yizhao was the first to read the confessions of the family members of the Sheng family. These people didn't know what to ask.

Maybe it's because I really don't know, or maybe I just carried it to the end, anyway, there is only one dead end.

The next step is a piece of criminal evidence, which was found from the mansion, and they were all letters.

As we all know, letters are the easiest to forge.But in this case, apart from the confessions of the daughters of the Sheng family at that time, these letters were the only ones involved.

However, it was obvious to all that Zhen Guogong conspired against him at that time. Since he couldn't find any other evidence, he simply didn't investigate further.

Turning to the final conclusion of the case, Su Yizhao was suddenly attracted by a name.

"Su Wenqing?"
