Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 296
After being alone in the boudoir for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Tian finally withdrew from it.Because, no matter what happened to this body in the past, he already got what he wanted.The prompt for the fourth stage task in the field of vision: "Pull out the thread and cocoon", has increased by another section.

Then, looking at the bundle of yellowed and white letter paper that Jiang Tian brought out from it; there was also a "Lantai Collection" full of beautiful annotations; Pu Wang burst into tears again.He never imagined that there were still these things hidden in the embroidery building that he occasionally remembered alone in private.

But he rejoiced in his heart, and became more determined about certain thoughts and ideas.However, when Pu Wang tremblingly flipped through the letters that Jiang Tian found out from the hidden compartment next to the bed curtain, the task progress in his vision moved forward a little bit.

Especially when I turned to the "Lantai Collection" full of annotations, such subtle changes in the progress of the task kept popping up; this made Jiang Tian wonder, could it be that the events of the year were actually related to this old man? Is Old Yiyi's His Royal Highness Prince Pu also implicated?

As a matter of fact, Jiang Tian has already glanced at ten lines for the first time, and most of the pages of this book are full of annotated "Lantai Collection".Therefore, the handwriting left by Zhenzhu Ji in it is not so much a comment on the content, as it is a small note of daily life and inner voice;

It is also like a profile of a life, and the thoughts of a daughter who is rich and carefree, innocent and ignorant; come alive on the paper.But there is almost no content directly related to the case of the year.Just judging from the tone of the letter, it is a process of getting married with peace of mind and full of expectations and longings.

Therefore, Jiang Tian also took advantage of the opportunity to ask the second question: "Dare to ask the king, besides you, are there other people who have ever entered and exited the boudoir in the Xiulou?".Because, in order to find possible clues, he used the "nudge mode" to examine it carefully.

Therefore, in addition to these letter papers hidden in the dark grid on the bed curtain and wall, Jiang Tian also discovered some other traces left by the past.For example, under the thick and endless dust, it has been moved and rummaged by people, but it has not been accurately returned.It's not like what Pu Wang left behind when he sees things and thinks about people.

Therefore, after hearing this sentence, it was rare for King Pu to cheer up and stand up and said: "You mean..., besides Gu, there are people who secretly entered the Xiulou! It's unreasonable, Gu strictly prohibited it in the early years. After entering Jinyun Zhai, there are still people who dare to secretly rebel."

"I'm afraid the matter is far more than that." Jiang Tian shook his head again and said: "I also found some traces that someone had searched for earlier, as if looking for something in the dark; and more than once; according to the thickness of the dust , from the early years to the last few months."

"You mean? It's unreasonable...it's unreasonable!" However, at the next moment, King Pu suddenly raised his beard and hair in spite of his old age, and said angrily, "Could it be that after so many years, there are still people who are secretly monitoring this matter. Hiding in my house?"

"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Jiang Tian nodded slightly and said: "And the other party is obviously very familiar with the situation in the house; this is how to use regular cleaning and maintenance to eliminate the traces of his own entry and exit; only long-term prohibition of entry and exit The inner room is an exception."

"Unexpectedly... there is such a thing, the lonely king is meaningless... what kind of family is making a fool of himself." King Pu heard this, but his face showed a resolute but sad and angry color, and he turned his head and shouted: "Come on!" ..." Immediately after seeing the previous chief of the palace, Shi, he quickly walked in with his bow.

"This is the loyal and reliable Wang Changshi who has served the lonely king for many years." Pu Wang immediately introduced Jiang Tian, ​​then turned to Wang Changshi and said: "Lu Zhang, all the people who are close to me belong to this mansion. Wait, are there any examples of people who suddenly resigned or resigned in recent years?"

"If you go back to the king, there seem to be several people." Wang Changshi only thought about it for a while, and then he said in a calm and clear voice: "Among them, Deng Dian, who is in charge of the marriage office, and Zheng Xian, the team from the tent house. Cheng, as well as Cheng Jingze, the chief culinary officer of the Yisi, and Chen Dianjing, the academic officer and professor..."

"Excuse me, among them, the weddings and funerals have been excluded, and what are the ones that have not been returned?" Jiang Tian added after hearing the words: "For example, a relative at home has a sudden illness and needs to visit, or the usual There is no sign, but there is a sudden change in the house, and those who have not returned after the deadline..."

"..." However, Wang Changshi did not speak, but bowed and looked at King Pu; after a while, he raised his hand and said, "What Jiang Jianxian said is what the lonely king wants to know. You can say everything even if you know everything." Nothing is exhaustive, nothing should be missed.”

"No!" Wang Changshi straightened up and said seriously: "If it is according to the supervisor's statement, there are two people who seem to be quite in line; they are Deng Dian, the incumbent of the Prince's Marriage Office, and the Tennei Mansion. I'm engaged in Peng Wencun. It's been two or three months overdue..."

"Thank you for clarifying the confusion, then dare to ask Wang Changshi." Jiang Tian nodded and said, "Have these two people ever met with Bieyuan, or have they been on duty for a long time in Bieyuan?"

"..." However, upon hearing this sentence, Wang Changshi's face changed slightly, and he immediately turned his head to King Pu and fell to the ground: "This minister is terrified, and this minister has made mistakes. The guanxi who were on duty in Bieyuan, especially Lu Wencun from Zhang Neifu, came with the king."

"So, the lonely king has been under the prying eyes of some people with ulterior motives these years." King Pu couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard the words, only feeling full of sorrow and indescribable indignation: "The person in charge of guarding Jinyunzhai In the army, I'm afraid it has something to do with it, right?"

Wang Changshi didn't speak again, but he paused again and again to confess his crimes.However, Jiang Tian suddenly asked again: "I don't know what is the relationship between Peng Wencun, who works in the tent house, and Peng Wenju, who used to be a repairman in the central province of the Great Inner Palace?"

"This..." Wang Changshi couldn't help racking his brains after hearing the words, "It seems that he is a brother from the same clan, and he was also the guarantor of this official Peng Lang back then; Seven people were selected for the palace hearing, and Zhang Zejin, a doctor of the Six Schools at that time, was recommended."

"Good... good... good... very good" Hearing what he said, King Pu's face became more and more gloomy, and he suddenly turned to Jiang Tian and asked, "Isn't this officer Peng Lang just Xinjin just found out, who is related to the secret passage leading to the imperial ditch that leads to the imperial city?"

"It's this one." Jiang Tian nodded. Obviously, although King Pu was retired at home, he was still quite well informed about related news.In other words, Yang Guoguan, the Xiaoguo uncle/Private Envoy, could not wait to notify each other immediately.

"Unexpected, unexpected." Pu Wang took a deep breath, fell down on the soft couch again and said in a bitter voice: "Such a secret important relationship is actually hidden in my mansion, and it is hidden so deep! It's been so long! If it wasn't for the supervisor... come here and pass it on to Feng Sima."

Afterwards, a red-robed military officer with a deep-faced porch and heavy brows and eyes strode vigorously into the cool hall, folded his hands and bowed his body and said, "What orders does your majesty have?". "Feng Buting, is the lonely king trustworthy?" King Pu said coldly again:

"The Feng family has received great kindness, and has been with him for more than five generations. He only wishes to repay it with death," the red-robed military officer immediately said, "I also ask the king to give you an order, and the servants will go through fire and water."

"Since this is the case, call the guards of the Yisi, and cooperate with the Jiang Supervisor to immediately search inside and outside the other garden." Seeing King Pu coldly said: "Since the lonely king, the son of the whole family, etc., but there are some refusals and obstacles. And it is regarded as a criminal suspect and taken into custody without any risk. If there is any stubborn resistance, you are allowed to stop at the opportunity."

"I would also like to thank the supervisor for allowing my sister, who had been missing for many years, to rebuild the sky." After a while, he was given the opportunity face-to-face, but Feng Biting, Sima of the Prince's Palace who bid farewell together, took the initiative to salute Jiang Tian: "Therefore, The supervisor is also my benefactor of the Feng family."

Jiang Tian couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and then he realized that what he was talking about was the skeleton found in the sedimentation tank used to hide criminal evidence at the other end of the underground network tunnel exit.Based on the preliminary identification of the pelvic parts put together, it is a woman between the ages of two and 30.

Later, some fragments of personal belongings were salvaged, which further proved the skeleton of this woman; it is very likely that she disappeared with Zhenzhu Ji, the companion of the palace/senior female official Feng Luoheng; it is also predestined to marry with her, the future husband Yang The head of the female officer in the family's mansion.

But Jiang Tian, ​​who has seen her report, also knows that from the salvaged bones, she suffered great pain and torture before her death; because her limbs were broken, and her chest and ribs were also broken in many places. , like being crushed back and forth by a heavy object, not a single inch is intact...

"The superintendent knows that my sister already had a family at that time, and they were quite fond of each other." Sima Feng Biting continued to remember with sadness in his eyes: "After that night, my father took the blame and resigned; he was ill . Jia Yan washed his face with tears and died in depression ever since."

"Please be sad and obedient. People who are alive at the same time must find out the truth about this and do their best to comfort the people under Jiuquan." Therefore, even if Jiang Tian had a thousand words, he could only turn them into a word of consolation: I also immediately understood King Pu. Intentions, at least this one is absolutely impossible to have a position problem.

"So please just let the supervisor give orders, and a certain family will do their best to cooperate and assist." Sima Feng Biting immediately swept away the fading and sadness, and said to Jiang Tian seriously: "Even if I give up my future, As long as the old case from that year can be..."

"Since you said that, I suddenly had an idea and a train of thought." Jiang Tian also put away his sympathy and said: "Your sister had a fanatical suitor back then, or an object of hatred in love affairs; He was once humiliated in public..."

"Well, my sister was quite a strong character back then, so she had quite a few admirers. If you want to say fanatics..." Hearing this, Feng Sima's expression froze, and he racked his brains and began to think about it. : "In addition, in order to maintain the reputation of His Highness, I have also haggled with others."

That night, on the top of the wall in the back garden of the Bieyuan, a nimble figure suddenly turned up; and the moment it fell into the empty alleyway, it was suddenly blinded by the blazing flames at both ends: Afterwards, Feng Sima's voice of hatred sounded: "Unexpectedly, it would be you!"
