A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 237
According to the news that Gu Zhan checked back, Yang Chenglian's grandfather was indeed from Tianshui County, but he was just a small businessman who walked the streets and alleys. Because of the poor life, he left his hometown with his wife and children as early as when he was young. Went to earn a living elsewhere.

Yang Chenglian is almost sixty years old, and his ancestors are all common people.

In this era, there are no electronic files, and Tianshui County has spent a lot of effort, and combined with inquiries from the local folk neighborhoods, this is how to confirm——

The ancestor mentioned in his household registration file did have such a family in Tianshui County nearly eighty or ninety years ago.

Yang Chenglian reported the relationship with his ancestors to the court. His father Yang Qiong moved with his grandfather Yang Zhong and his family to Ancheng County, which is also in Yunzhou, when he was young. Later, he was born in Ancheng County and traveled with his father who was in business. grew up everywhere.

It was just because his ancestral home was in Tianshui County, so he went to Beijing to take the exam in [-] years, and he was still a Tianshui candidate.

In fact, judging from his resume, he should have never lived in Tianshui County for a day.

And at his age, he was [-] years older than Yang Shi. He was a Jinshi in high school the year Yang Shi was born, and then went to Beijing to perform his duties.

Although the two of them have household registrations in Tianshui County, they actually live in two cities separated by dozens of miles. It is impossible for them to have any contact and intersection before entering Beijing. So how could it be? Enmity?
Mrs. Yang said that the two families are from the same hometown, so let's just let this explanation make sense.

Qi Huan continued to flip through Yang Chenglian's resume, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"What does this mean?" She pointed out the record on a piece of paper she was looking at to Gu Zhan.

"It's literally." Gu Zhan's expression was serious and dignified, "Because the age is too long, my people rushed to Ancheng County to check the household registration files from seventy or eighty years ago. It is true that Yang Chenglian's ancestor was not there. Ancheng County was registered, but there was indeed a record of their family going to the government office to do business there seventy-six years ago."

He said: "The people who went to inquire later went back and forth several times and asked around. Although there was no clear record in black and white that could be submitted to the court, my people would never make a mistake. Yang Zhong moved his family to Ancheng County back then, and the business was not done. After getting up, he died of illness in the fifth year, and two years later, his only son Yang Qiong left home to make a living when he was fifteen years old, and never went back. Their family has no other relatives in Ancheng County , Ancheng County completely cut off all news related to them."

Qi Huan frowned tightly: "So, their family only stayed in Ancheng County for seven years. Yang Chenglian's father went out to earn a living when he was fifteen years old, so it was about seventy years ago. Yang Chenglian is now Fifty-eight chances, he couldn't have been born in Ancheng County, at least in this matter, he falsified the court's resume back then."

Gu Zhan said: "But he said again, it's just that the family lives in Ancheng County, and the household registration is in the hometown of Tianshui County. After he was in high school, the court asked someone to verify his identity. He must have gone to Tianshui. As long as Tianshui The family of Junta confirmed his identity and confirmed his identity... The guards are all more things than less things, who would go extra tens of miles to go to a temporary residence for another verification?"

And the news that Gu Zhan checked back——

The father of the man named Yang Zhong was originally a bachelor.

This man settled in Tianshui County, where he had fled, and gave birth to two sons, Yang Yi and Yang Zhong. However, the two brothers from a small family fought fiercely for family property. Once their father died, the two brothers lived separately and lived alone. Contacted.

Today, the big house Yang Yi's family has long been extinct.

As for the second child, Yang Zhong's family, there is only Yang Chenglian's blood left.

They are in Tianshui County, and they no longer have any relatives in the same family as early as more than [-] years ago.

The relationship was broken too cleanly, which made Qi Huan instinctively feel that something was wrong.

"When Mr. Yang became an official thirty-seven years ago, the guards who went to his hometown to verify his identity must have found his uncle Yang Yi's family. In fact, according to the information that your people checked back, the two brothers Yang Yi and Yang Zhong were in dire straits. It is not acceptable, and Yang Zhong has been away from home for many years, and the two families have no contact with each other. Yang Yi's family members should not even know when his brother's son Yang Qiong got married, and how many children he has? The guards can only ask for verification. There was indeed Yang Zhong's family in Tianshui County, and they moved out of town early. Even if Yang Yi's family told the truth about the situation...does this create a blind spot for the officers who verified his identity?" Qi Huan Suddenly felt a little ironic.

She looked at Gu Zhan with a playful expression: "Why do I feel that Master Yang Chenglian's life experience seems to have something shady? Is he really Yang Zhong or Yang Qiong's son? This situation is more like a trick When the imperial court verified their identities, they did everything possible to find a family with a simple population, brothers who were at odds with each other, and who were easy to lose their households, to be affiliated with?"

According to Yang Chenglian's official resume, all relatives who can prove his identity...

Thirty-seven years ago, when he first became an official, there were still traces to follow, but at that time, no one suspected that he wanted to check his identity carefully, and was fooled by him.

But now, time has passed, and all those who can directly prove his identity are dead.

If you don't dig deep with a purpose, indeed, no one can say that there is something wrong with his resume.

But if you have to doubt, if you have to go deeper——

Too many unsubstantiated coincidences is a huge flaw and problem in itself.

"I don't know about that." Gu Zhan took a sip of the teacup on the table, "It's really too old, that Mr. Yang is older than His Majesty, I can find out about him now Things are really limited."

He looked at the pile of papers in Qi Huan's hand on the table again: "These things, you say they have problems, they do seem to have holes, but if you say they have no problems, they can barely pass... If you You must know the exact truth, or try to ask your mother face to face."

Qi Huan still knew Yang Shi well.

She shook her head helplessly: "I know my mother's temper well, she actually seldom avoids me about our family's big and small affairs, but if there are one or two things she doesn't want to talk about, she won't talk about it even if I ask her. In this matter, I think she may have been in fear because of her uncle's death, so she didn't want me to be involved. In this way, I won't be able to force her any more. "

As she spoke, she rearranged the scattered papers on the table one by one in order.

Thinking about all the things that happened in the past two months related to "that Yang family", she gradually calmed down and teased: "It doesn't matter whether it's from the same hometown or a feud, anyway, the current attitude of the family towards us is Even if my mother forbears and doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, they won't let it go. Once or twice won't work, just wait for them to take action for the third time and the fourth time... As long as they can't help but do it again, sooner or later Show off your feet."

After a little deliberation, Gu Zhan knew roughly what she was referring to.

He pondered: "On the day of the scientific examination, the jade pendant that your cousin lost in the palace has never been heard from since then. I heard from the captain of the martial arts...Actually, you didn't intend to let him find it for you. Back, right?"

Qi Huan tilted his head, the light and shadow flickered between his brows, very naughty.

She smiled and pursed her lips: "I have made complete preparations and buried all the clues that can break the situation in the future. It was just in case, but if you suspected that he murdered my uncle before, then this It’s just a rainy day. My cousin entered the Imperial Academy, which is the fastest way to get promoted in the official career. If he really killed my uncle back then, now he will 100% definitely attack my cousin again.”

As Qi Huan spoke, his expression darkened a bit.

She smiled bitterly: "Now I hope they will attack my cousin. If they find out that they have killed them all and set the fire on my cousin... If I ask any questions, my mother will tell me the truth."

Although she has made complete preparations, she can ensure that Yang Qingyun will retreat in good health.

Can--

But for such selfish calculations against Yang Shi, I will feel very sorry in my heart after all.

It's just that Yang Qingyun's jade pendant has been missing for more than two months, but there is no movement there...

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be holding back a big move.

"Yang Chenglian is now a high-ranking official after all. He has a very good reputation in the court these years, and his contacts are well managed. It is difficult to move him without real evidence." Gu Zhan can only try his best to her. To appease, "I also sent people to the yamen where your uncle worked before his death, and all the jurisdictions where Yang Chenglian had been released in recent years, to try to find further clues."

That's what he said, but Qi Huan knew in his heart——

It has been so many years, and the possibility of finding any more detailed clues is very slim.

But she is a sensible person, and she still appreciates it. She smiled at Gu Zhan: "Well, just do your best. I'm not a yamen judge, but I just want to know what's behind this family."

Yamen trials require detailed clues and evidence to publicize and appease the hearts of the people.

If you have doubts, it is naturally best to ask for clarification and explanations from official channels.

But if the conditions are really not allowed——

Qi Huan just wanted to know the truth and secrets behind this.

In fact, as long as Yang Shi can confess to her completely now, as long as Yang Shi says, she will believe it, and there is no need to investigate Yang Chenglian behind his back.

From a first-rank official in Beijing, without any evidence, it is true that he cannot be moved through legitimate channels...

But the other party can play tricks many times, can't she?

Gu Zhan squeezed her hand: "Well, it's an old story anyway, and it's not too late to find out what's going on. I'll keep an eye on Yang Chenglian and Concubine Wen for you first, so you can rest assured. How about first-rank officials, what about imperial concubines, there is no justifiable reason, and they don't have the privilege to disregard human lives."

As for the right and wrong of Yang Yuting's matter, he doesn't know the inside story for the time being, so he doesn't have to comment.

but--

Just because Yang Pan'er blatantly pushed Qi Huan under the knife of the assassin at the wedding banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion, their family already owed Qi Huan a life here waiting to be settled.

no matter what -

Yang Chenglian, who is a dignified first-rank official, also has the responsibility of teaching his daughter Wufang.

Qi Huan knew that Gu Zhan had started to protect his weaknesses again.

But to protect one's shortcomings and selfishness, this is something that no one can avoid.

She pursed her lips and laughed again, but suddenly thought of something, she looked serious again, her eyes lit up and said: "That's not right, Mrs. Yang Chenglian, Mr. Yang has a relative who is older than him in his family." Old lady? Because of the long history, it is difficult for us to find out about his past... But who can know more about Yang Chenglian's life experience than her?"

Gu Zhan let out a chuckle: "You can't even pry your own mother's mouth open, do you still want to ask his old lady face to face?"

Qi Huan blinked.

She didn't have this idea at first, but now she suddenly thinks about it.

So, she leaned over, sat next to Gu Zhan on the stool next to him, and took his arm: "You said that... I'm really curious, and I want to meet this old lady in person. Is there any way?" ?”

What's so good about an old woman in her seventies and eighties?

Gu Zhan deliberately took Joe, but refused to agree.

Qi Huan hugged his arm and swayed, begging eagerly: "Think of a way. The old lady is already old, and because she has a son who is up to date and a granddaughter who is an imperial concubine, she has been granted the imperial order." Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for her to go out to socialize in person. If she wants to see her, she may have to go to her house. I really have no choice. After all, according to the relationship between his family and ours, even if his family has No matter what, the post will definitely not be sent to our house."

Gu Zhan was so entangled by her that he could only pick up the stack of papers on the table and flip through them casually, while slowly analyzing with her, "Yeah, that old lady is quite old, and she has a son named Yang Chenglian under her knees. These years, wherever Yang Chenglian went to work, he would take her with him to fulfill his filial piety. When he returned to Beijing this time, it was impossible for her to drag her old bones around to show her face. If she wanted to see her now, she had to be an official from the palace. Concubine sees her, and waits to go to the palace to block her, or... can only wait for his family to hold a banquet, and make a post to follow."

"I'm just curious about the old lady. I don't have the guts to run into the palace to cause trouble." Qi Huan immediately vetoed his first plan, "And even if she enters the palace, she must be very cautious. We The relationship between the two families is already delicate, and if I stood in front of her so abruptly, wouldn't I immediately startle the snake? Let's not treat everyone else as fools."

Although Gu Zhan has privileges and connections in the palace relying on Queen Gu's relationship, he is still a foreign minister after all, and he really wouldn't just go to the palace to cause trouble with the backing of the queen and the crown prince without knowing his superiority.

So, he just said it casually.

He carefully flipped through the records in his hand, and then took out one of them and put it on the top and patted it: "The old lady Ning of Youdu Yushifu will be [-] next year. There is an unwritten According to the traditional tradition, when celebrating the old man’s birthday, it’s always a nine but not a ten…”

He looked sideways at Gu Zhan, with a smile on his brows: "You are lucky, this old lady's birthday is next month."

People in their [-]s are rare since ancient times, especially the Yang family is still a high-ranking family, so it is bound to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

As a matter of fact, Yang Chenglian had been released for nearly ten years. This year, after he was transferred back to Beijing, it was time for him to hold a big banquet. However, there were many things in the capital this year, so he didn't even hold the promotion banquet and reception banquet.

It can be said to be very calm and cautious.

Under the circumstances of smooth sailing, people can maintain neither arrogance nor impetuosity, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Also for this reason -

From the bottom of their hearts, both Gu Zhan and Qi Huan were very afraid of that Lord Yang.

Qi Huan poked his head to look at the news that the spies had checked back. It was impressively written that Ning's birthday, the old lady of the Yang family, was on the tenth day of the seventh month.

There are still nearly twenty days left.

She turned to Gu Zhan to confirm again: "Will they invite you?"

Gu Zhan said with a smile: "In the past, maybe, I wouldn't go anyway, but now..."

He pinched Qi Huan's cheek with a smile: "They will definitely not post me."

He was engaged to Qi Huan, and when he pursued Qi Huan, there was a lot of noise in the city. Anyone who had a ghost in "that Yang family" would never send him a post.

Qi Huan is relying on him anyway, with a calm and indifferent smile on his face: "Then you can stare at your relatives and friends, and rub anyone's head at that time, anyway, we can just follow with the cheek, and save money Thank you."

There is a high possibility that there is a deadly feud between the two families. Even though she is going to explore the way, she will feel that she will feel awkward when giving gifts for the wayfinding fee!

There's no other way, Miss Qi will take revenge, she's so stingy!

　It's another day when I can't write the second update, why don't I give you one across the screen -_-||
