Information related to the old case After returning to Shengjing, Yan Yun ordered many people to make unannounced visits, and found some clues in the buried dust.

Su Rao pondered and said in a low voice: "The Hubu Shangshu who was imprisoned was my grandfather?"

grandfather?
Yan Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he continued following her words.

"Yes."

"You just said that the Second Prince who was far away in Shengjing was involved and imprisoned. What does this matter have to do with him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yun twirled his fingertips, his eyes wandered to nowhere, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said lightly: "The second prince's mother concubine is surnamed Xie, and Xie's blood is flowing on his body. "

Xie's fault led to the defeat of the war.

It's hard not to suspect something.

So someone immediately impeached Taishi Xie and the second prince for conspiring to kill the prince and treason for profit.

Snowflake-like memorials floated onto the imperial case.

The first emperor was furious, and involuntarily imprisoned the second prince in Huarong Road, and imprisoned the old grand master.

At that time, Xie Fei, the second son of the Xie family, was still at the border, and suddenly bad news came, and he was sent back in a coffin...

"Because his surname is Xie, this matter has become a battle for succession?"

Su Rao understood the meaning inside, and felt a little cold in her heart.

"more than."

Yan Yun shook his head and added: "At that time, the supervising army sent by the imperial court to the border was your second uncle, Xie Fei.

"what?"

Supervising the army has the responsibility of supervising and inspecting, which is equivalent to the eyes and ears placed by the general around the court, in case the general acts arbitrarily and has too much power, it is actually used as a check.

He was also from the Xie family!
Not to mention others, even Su Rao herself felt very suspicious when she heard it, and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Yan Yun probably guessed what she was thinking, and a very faint sigh overflowed from his lips, "This General Xie has a lot of controversy. From the beginning to the end of the war, there was a big difference between his attitude and the court's report. After dying in battle, he insisted on mobilizing troops to fight in disregard of court orders."

"As a result, the pro-army cultivated by the four princes alone... was wiped out."

"You have heard the name of this army."

Yan Yun's eyes were bright, he locked her tightly, and said three words from his thin lips: "Splendid Army."

Su Rao was dazed for a long time, and finally dug out the memories that were about to be dusty from her mind, "Sun Li, Zhao Qiu..."

The blood in front of the tofu shop is not coagulated.

Zhao Qiu's fiancée, Baitao, was humiliated and died. This is why Sun Li's organs tried their best to kill his father and lead imperial envoys to investigate the Bai's case.

Zhao Qiu went north to join the Jinxiu Army.

Sun Li is his comrade and a member of the army.

It's just that the person who fabricated the household registration and false identity for Sun Li is gone, and he himself committed suicide in prison, so it is difficult to know his real name.

Going around and around, and back to them.

"Is it just a coincidence?"

Wasn't the entire Jinxiu Army wiped out?
If Sun Li was really a member of the Splendid Army, why didn't he come forward to make a statement, but instead went far away to the south.

Su Rao's question was quickly vetoed by Yan Yun, his voice was gentle, with a hint of regret, "Lingling, do you know why the word Jinxiu was chosen?"

Without waiting for her to answer, he said to himself again: "Splendid embroidered gold and jade are only for the embellishment of wealth and honor. They look beautiful, but they are actually fragile."

"The prince asked himself to leave Beijing to guard the border, saying that he would end the war with war and quell the troubles on the frontier. He also took away a group of very young noble children from Shengjing City. They were young and full of ambition, followed him, and vowed to Break out of the world."

"The world jokingly called them the Splendid Army, originally to ridicule them for being young and frivolous, for being overconfident."

"I didn't expect that on the day I left the capital, the Fourth Prince would unfurl the flag in the wind, write a letter with the word "Jinxiu", and name it."

"And it only took less than two years to spread the name of Splendid Beauty throughout the Kyushu, and its power shook all directions."

Su Rao understood.

This is an unrepeatable honor that belongs only to that group of noble children.

She silently digested the news, and after a while, said in a low voice: "These news are still too general, and it is still impossible to know what happened at the border back then."

"Relevant documents and military newspapers were all burned in an accident, and only a few traces can be seen from the mouths of the elders."

Yan Yun said: "If you want to know the past, apart from looking for the surviving members of the Splendid Army, you can also ask Xie Yin."

Although joining the army was Xie Xiaotang's only choice at the time, but he chose Waliang Pass, who would believe it if he said he had no selfish intentions.

Just don't know how many he found.

"Thank you Yin..."

Su Rao hesitated and said, "But the inkstone washing table..."

"The imperial court official was assassinated, and you bumped into him in an important place in the capital. It is your duty, Mr. Ti Xing."

After what he said, Su Rao also laughed.

That's right, she is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and also has the post of punishment on Southwest Jinglu Road, so she already has the power to intervene in local security.

"I'll come back when he's in better condition."

"Ah."

After Cui Yi was taken back to Banyue Xiaozhu, they had dinner together and then dispersed.

Later, Lu Heng ordered some orchids to be delivered.

Insert it with a jade bottle.

There are still drops of water on the tender petals.

Su Rao didn't understand what it meant, and looked suspiciously at the relish who came to deliver things, "What does this mean?"

He said without restraint: "The young master said that it will take some time for the ghost orchid to bloom. Now that the flowering period is just right, I will give the girl the rest first, and count them as entertainment."

"I can't keep these things alive."

From Lu Wan's attitude, she knew that Lu Lanyou had many precious flowers, and now she folded them and sent them here, Su Rao felt inexplicably tricky.

Jin Wudu remained expressionless, without even moving his eyebrows, and said calmly: "I didn't intend to let the girl support me, I just wanted to have fun."

Su Rao: "..."

She looked at the few flowers, chuckled lightly, and took them over, "Thank you son for me."

"Yes."

Jin Wudu came and went like the wind, he left after speaking, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Rao put the orchid vase by the window sill on the first floor of Banyueju, washed up and went to bed.

Three days later.

Guessing that people should be more energetic, Su Rao took Xun Zeli, Gu Cheng and others to Xie's mansion after finishing the errands in the yamen.

Many people surrounded the gate of Xie Mansion.

Su Rao and others pushed aside the crowd and approached the stone lion guarding the gate, and saw some unexpected people not far away.

Flying eagle clothes, washing inkstone and guards!
Why did they appear here openly... It seems that they are waiting for orders, so what about the others?

Already in?
As soon as the two sides met, the faces of Su Rao's people became tense, and Xun Zeli lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid it's not good to mix the inkstone washers."

"Going to the door in broad daylight is either arresting people or ransacking the house."

Gu Cheng's brows were filled with worry, "How did the Xie family provoke them?"

They were not worried about the Xie family.

After all, there is no relative and no reason.

Xiyantai's behavior was too ostentatious, above the king's laws and decrees, so there was no restriction, which made everyone feel like a butcher's knife was hanging on their necks.

No one knows whether the disaster will suddenly befall him.

Several people in the Inkstone Washing Guard had met Su Rao.

At this moment, he looked at her calmly, without any intention of saying hello, this is the Yanyan guard, once involved in the case, he would not hesitate to kill his close relatives.

Su Rao withdrew her gaze and looked at the door boy: "Please tell me, the Ministry of Punishment is here to ask questions."
