Chapter 492 Returning to the Capital
Because Mei Qu wanted to avoid him, although Mei Qing knew that the Mei family was deeply involved with the Jingu, he never had the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Jingu.

He was worried that one day, Mei Jiulang would use the power of the shrine to fight against him, so he kept his eyes open secretly and hid some evidence of Mei Qu's relationship with the shrine.

Right now, it is impossible for the Mei family to completely withdraw from this matter.In particular, Xiao Lingjiang also obtained the evidence that the Mei family set off the disaster of the Gu sculpture and assassinated her.

Once this matter is confirmed, the entire Mei family will be doomed no matter whether there is a matter of the shrine or not.

Mei Qing didn't want his children and grandchildren to be buried with the entire Mei family, even if he himself could not escape the death penalty, he had to try his best to keep them alive.

Xiao Lingjiang has always been in charge of clearing the Shrine, if she is willing to promise to intercede for her team, it would be best to save some blood.

It was already evening when he came out of the cell.

Xiao Lingjiang looked sideways at the hazy sunset, his eyes narrowed slightly, the huge Mei family will eventually set slowly like the setting sun.

"Let's go to Meifu."

The two heads of the family were all thrown into the Chizhou Prison, and they couldn't come out for a long time, and they didn't even allow people to visit. Everyone in the Mei family was already worried.

However, before the person was released, Princess Yong'an and Wen Cishi came to the door again.

Hearing the servant's coming to announce the time, Mei Qing's wife, Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly greeted her out of the yard, and saw that the Mei residence was already crowded with officers and soldiers.

She hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Princess, governor, I don't know you two..."

Xiao Lingjiang smiled and said: "Ma'am, don't be afraid, I just came to look for a few things under the guidance of Master Mei Erlang."

Mrs. Zhang frowned, does this mean to search the house?But facing the officers and soldiers in the mansion, she couldn't refuse.

Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand, and He Zheng had already sent someone to Zhang's yard.

It is unusual for Mei Qing to hide things, she never hid them in her bedroom or study, but hid them in a wooden box, and then buried them under an inconspicuous old tree in Zhang's courtyard.

With his initiative to explain, this thing was found very quickly.

He Zheng opened the wooden box and put it in front of Xiao Lingjiang. There were a few envelopes quietly inside. When he opened it, he saw the scattered pieces of paper that had been scorched by the fire carefully pasted on the white paper piece by piece. .

Naturally, Mei Qu did not want to leave traces of correspondence between Jingu and Jingu, so every time he read it, he would throw it into the brazier and burn it.

Mei Qing had other thoughts, so she tried to do some tricks in it, and occasionally found a few words.

After a long time, something useful can be drawn from it.

Xiao Lingjiang read one by one. Although these letters are incomplete, they are enough to prove that the Mei family has contacts with the Jingu.

When turning to the bottom layer, Xiao Lingjiang's eyes could not help but light up, this one is a letter sent by Cen Niang, that is, Yong Mu, to Mei Qu.

Although spelling is difficult and she has never mentioned her status as the princess of the dynasty, but from a few words, she can also see that she calls herself Cen Niang and is annoyed by Xiao Lingjiang's eyes.

This was a pleasant surprise.

The former Cen Niang turned into the current princess, and if she wants to connect these two people who are at odds with each other, she has to start with the Mei family.

But even the Mei family didn't know that there was such a person as Cen Niang. Although Mei Qing knew about her, she didn't know about her taking the house.

Now that I have this letter, this matter is much easier to handle.

Xiao Lingjiang folded the letter and put it in the box, lifted his right hand slightly, and ordered: "Mei Qu, the head of the Mei family, colluded with the Jingu, intending to disrupt my Zhou rule and harm the people in my territory. Now there are physical and human evidences , put everyone in the Mei family in prison for investigation!"

She gave an order, and the officers and soldiers took people immediately.

For a moment, the entire Mei Manor was crying and shouting.

Xiao Lingjiang secretly sighed, the people of the Mei family may not know what Mei Qu Meiqing did, but the family has been like this since ancient times, one prospers all, one loses all.Since they have won the fame of the family, they naturally also have to suffer the pain of falling together.

The Mei family was imprisoned, and the matter has come to an end for the time being, and it is only waiting for follow-up review and submission to the court for conviction.

But what Xiao Lingjiang finds troublesome is that this Mei Jia Jiulang has never been found.

Outsiders say that Mei Jiulang is weak and has been raising his body on Zhuangzi.Mei Qing said, since Mei Jiulang was ten years old, he has been traveling around with a famous teacher, and he does not return home all the year round, and he does not know where he is going.

If it is said that in the entire Mei family and even Chizhou, only her own mother and Mei Qu's father and son know about the existence of Cenniang of the Mei family, then Mei Jiulang's name is known to everyone in Chizhou.

But even though he is famous, there are only a handful of people who have actually seen his face, even Mei Qing, who has not seen him for several years, only vaguely remembers his appearance.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but feel helpless, this Mei Jiulang was mysteriously tight.

From Mei Qing's words, one can tell that Mei Jiulang is not an ordinary son and lord, this is a great hidden danger, no matter what, he has to be arrested and brought to justice.

Not to mention that Wen Deliang tried every means to capture Mei Jiulang.

Xiao Lingjiang stayed in Chizhou for another ten days, after the Mei family's trial was completed and the case files cleared up, he pressed Mei Qu and his son to go to Yingdu.

It was already winter when she left Yingdu for Chizhou.Now more than a month has passed, and when I go back, it will be the Chinese New Year soon.

Walking all the way from the city, Ying Du is full of joy and excitement.

Xiao Lingjiang went to the Buyuan Division first, and then entered the palace with Yuan Buxie to ask to see the emperor.

Hearing that when she came back, the emperor was playing chess with the queen in the palace, he threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, and said with a smile: "Yong'an said on this trip that he found clues to the shrine and wanted to investigate. It took more than a month to go there. Now when she comes back, she will enter the palace with Yuan Qing to ask to see me, presumably there is something important."

"Queen, I won't accompany you in this round."

The queen smiled: "Political affairs come first, and the sage should go to work first."

The emperor got up, got on the chariot, and went to the palace where political affairs were handled.

But at this time, Yongmu who heard that Xiao Lingjiang entered the palace could not sit still any longer and hurried to the queen's palace.

Xiao Lingjiang and Yuan Buxie were already waiting outside the hall, seeing the emperor ascending the stairs, they both bowed and saluted, and then entered the hall together with the emperor.

The emperor sat in the high position, and the servants who served beside him hurriedly offered the teacup. He took a sip, and then said slowly: "Yong'an, you have been away from the capital for a long time, and now you have brought Yuan Qing into the palace together as soon as you came back, but there is What gain?"

Xiao Ling Jiang Ying said: "Uncle Huang is wise. During Yong'an's trip, he indeed made a new discovery. It's just that there are many things involved in this matter, and there may be some strange and thought-provoking things in it. Uncle Huang, please don't worry about it after listening It's better to be angry."

"Oh?" The emperor couldn't help being interested, "Let's talk and listen."
