Chang'an is good

Facing Chang Suining, the official who came showed his badge and stated his intention.

The granddaughter of Mr. Xie Jun's family disappeared on the eve of leaving the pavilion, and her whereabouts are unknown. For several days, the Beijing government has tracked down suspicious traces on the way from Feng's residence to Xingningfang——

Hearing this, Chang Ren secretly rejoiced that the girl had the foresight and did not allow General A Dian to follow, otherwise General Dian would immediately retort "Impossible, you are talking nonsense", "I clearly wiped it clean" .

And the words of the officials are indeed nonsense. It is absolutely impossible for them to leave any suspicious traces in their actions that night. These words are just a cover.

And the cover was found very well, and he said that a watchman had seen with his own eyes the back door of the Changfu that night, and there were mysterious and suspicious figures appearing and disappearing.

After the officer finished speaking, he immediately said: "I have been ordered to search for the traces of the Feng family's lady, and I hope that your government will cooperate and do not obstruct it."

Chang Suining not only nodded to cooperate, but even told Supervisor Bai to arrange for his servants to lead the way.

When the official sent to search, Chang Suining said to Chang Ren in a low voice: "Keep an eye on them, and we must prevent them from secretly doing something like 'planting'."

Outside the Changfu, everything is under the control of the Empress.In Changfu, she will never allow the slightest mistake to happen.

Those menacing officials went in and out of the various courtyards of the Changfu, and never spared a single inch of corner, even the firewood pile in the kitchen was all pushed down for inspection.

Seeing this, some retired veterans suppressed their anger in their hearts.

Their great generals have made many contributions to Dasheng, but Mr. Lang was wronged and imprisoned first, and now these officials make another casually fabricated statement, and wantonly treat their Chang family as a den of thieves who have committed crimes!
Where is the truth!

"Go away!"

Seeing an officer kick away the yellow dog guarding the door outside the kitchen, the yellow dog screamed and ran away with its tail between its legs.

"The girl said... It's important to keep an eye on them, don't let them catch you in the wrong place again with aggressive methods." The companion reminded in a low voice, but also frowned.

Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu squatted down to hug the frightened yellow dog, and hid aside to look at those ferocious officials, their eyes were full of uneasiness.

The officials searched like this for more than half a day, and the situation outside the Chang Mansion also attracted attention and discussion.

"Is there something wrong with General Chang's Mansion?"

"...Don't tell me that Mr. Fei's family confessed to the daughter of the Chang family? The murder of the eldest grandson Seventh Lady... Was it really Lady Chang who instigated it?"

"It seems that those officials don't seem to be from Dali Temple, but from the Beijing Yamen?"

Some people commented, some explored, and some couldn't help sighing: "General Chang is now fighting outside, and the pity for this pair of sons and daughters in Beijing is not good enough..."

"What you said sounds like Mr. Chang's family has been wronged... Now there are all witnesses and evidence!"

"Where did the witness come from?"

"You don't know yet, just last night, a monk in Dayun Temple committed suicide!"

This is true.

Last night, a monk in Dayun Temple hanged himself in the maple forest in the back mountain, and left a blood letter, saying that he had witnessed Chang Suian's murder in the forest that day, but because he was afraid of bringing disaster to himself, he was also afraid of Chang Sun's death. To investigate the fact that he never rescued each other, but he has not dared to testify for a long time——

These days, I have been repenting day and night, thinking that I am no longer worthy of being a Buddhist disciple, and the only way to get relief is to atone for my sins with death.

This morning, the monk's body and the blood letter were sent to Dali Temple.

Because of Wujue's secret message, Chang Suining knew about it earlier than Dali Temple.

First silenced the son of King Rong, and then handed over the case to Han Shaoqing, the empress' confidant, in the name of protecting Yao Yi's official reputation.

Then forged witnesses, and the "witness" left a letter and died, so there is no possibility of corroboration.

Now, in the name of investigating the disappearance case, he came to search for Feng Min's whereabouts...

Compared with Chang's previous actions, all the actions controlled by the holy will are like a tight net that is quickly tightened, and does not intend to leave room for the things in the net to struggle and escape.

The sense of restraint also tightly enveloped Chang Suining's whole body.

Standing in the corridor of the front hall, she looked at the officials coming back and forth, and asked Xi'er, "How many days until the first day of the new year?"

Although Xi'er didn't know why the girl asked this question, she still replied immediately: "Back to the girl, the day after tomorrow will be the first day of junior high school."

The day after tomorrow.

Chang Suining repeated it in his heart.

Those official errands are in sight.

"What did you find out?" Chang Suining asked.

"I'm bothering your mansion today." The chief official who returned without success looked a little embarrassed, but he still said: "But the girl from the Feng family has a special status, and she is the future concubine of Ying Guogong's son. I need to keep a few people temporarily outside your mansion, I hope you understand."

Chang Suining: "Everyone, please go ahead."

Seeing those officials leaving, Xi'er felt extremely uneasy: "Girl, they are clearly trying to use an excuse to monitor..."

It is said to be guarding, but it is no different from surveillance and house arrest!
Chang Suining: "Surveillance is just one of them."

The surveillance was true, and it was true that they wanted to search out Feng Min as a witness—even though Chang Ren and the others did not leave any traces of what they did that night, it did not affect Ming Hou's conclusion that Feng Min was in her hands.

It would be best to find Feng Min at Chang's house, and he could also charge her with a crime so that she would not be able to get away with it.

Even if you can't find it, you won't really return without success. After all the troubles of these officials, I believe everyone will soon hear that the reason why the Ming family's concubine who was about to pass the door disappeared was related to the Chang family. a rumor.

In the eyes of outsiders, this matter may have nothing to do with her elder brother's matter at first glance, but there is such an "antecedent reason", if she insists on taking Feng Min to the official office to identify Ming Jin, then the official office will be easy She interpreted this as that she had kidnapped Feng Min first, coerced Feng Min to frame Ming Jin——

Therefore, if the official came to search with great fanfare, it would be tantamount to completely destroying the usefulness of Feng Min as a witness in her hands. Even if there is no need for the official to refute, the people in the market will not even believe Feng Min's testimony.

The methods of the Son of Heaven are always more comprehensive, more thorough, and better at fundamentally cutting off threats, and know how to calm down and reduce the occurrence of civil "disputes".

In other words, after this trip, Feng Min has no value in Chang Suining's hands.

Chang Suining came out from the corridor.

Not with her, but with others, it can be.

On the edge of the sky, the cold wind tore the dark clouds, and as the two wrestled, raindrops fell.

The rain came in a hurry, and the pedestrians on the long street were in a hurry.

Two carriages met head-on, one of them was driving very fast, and the driver of the other hurriedly avoided it, but he still couldn't completely avoid the other's rampage. One side of the carriage was scratched, and the carriage almost fell over.

The young boy in the car scratched his forehead and angrily lifted the curtain.

The coachmen and followers of both sides have already disputed.

A person also came from the opposite car, but his expression was leisurely and nonchalant.

Changsun Ji recognized the other party: "...Cui Liulang?"

"I broke my head, I'm really sorry." Cui Lang lightly "hissed" and said, "But you also smashed Brother Sui'an's head that day, so it's a balance between the two!"

The eldest grandson Jiben also respected the other party because he was the son of the Cui family, but at this moment his expression sank immediately: "You collided on purpose!"

"Yes, so what." Cui Lang approached Chang Sun Ji provocatively with a pot holding an umbrella, relying on the advantage of being a few years older than the other party and standing half a head taller, he became more and more defiant, "If I bump into you, what if I knock you down?" Your brain has been knocked out, you may have to come to the door to thank you when you look back."

Changsun Ji wanted to retort, but Cui Lang didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "Speaking of the head...you have to go and have a look."

Cui Lang took a look at the injury on the young man's forehead, then took off the money pouch around his waist, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, then clasped the other's hand, and patted it twice: "Here is some silver, it will be my compensation."

As he said that, regardless of Changsun Ji's extremely annoyed expression, he told the servants of Changsun's family: "The Rejuvenation Hall is just ahead, take your husband there to have a look, if you go late and delay your illness, it will be bad! "

These words are clearly humiliating!
"Cui Liulang is deceiving people too much!" Changsun Ji clutched the purse tightly, and was about to throw it away, but at the same moment he met Cui Lang's eyes that didn't have too much malice, he noticed something wrong with the purse in his hand .

"Mr. Grandson, I just found out today that I, Cui Lang, like to bully people." Cui Lang shook his sleeves that were wet by the rain, "Let's go, it's raining heavily today, it's not suitable for quarreling."

Seeing Cui Lang go back to his carriage, the servants of the eldest grandson's family were furious: "Your Majesty, how could you just let them go like this!"

"With my grandfather's confession today, I have no time to entangle with him, and I will settle this account in the future!" The eldest grandson Ji said with an ugly face: "Let's go!"

The boy sat back in the carriage and immediately opened the money bag.

Sure enough, there was no silver in it, only a small bamboo tube that was as long as a thumb, short and thick.

He held it in his hand just now and noticed something was wrong, so he didn't throw it away immediately.

At this time, when he opened the bamboo tube, he saw that there was a rolled note hidden inside.

Changsun Ji hurriedly opened it to take a look. There were only two lines of small characters on it - the truth is hidden behind the Guanyin Temple in the west of the city.

The only constant word in the signature.

The boy still frowned childishly, even though he had imagined a lot, he didn't make up his own mind after all, but returned to the mansion and handed the note to his grandfather and eldest grandson Yuan.

After Changsun Yuan saw it, he thought for a moment, and then he secretly went to the place indicated in the note, and repeatedly told him to avoid all eyes.

Regardless of other things, just saying that the girl from the Chang family used Cui Liulang's dude to convey the news in this way, it can be seen that there must be many eyes and ears watching secretly.

And the eyes staring at his eldest grandson's family have always been more and more.

When it was dark, a girl who was seriously injured and unconscious in a sack was quietly brought back to the Changsun Mansion.

Although the person was in a coma, a letter was brought back together, which was the girl's confession to be exact.

Looking at the whole story of the incident written on the confession, Changsun Yuan's complexion changed a few times.

The Ming family...Ming Jin? !

"Father..." Changsun Yan couldn't calm down the anger in his heart after watching it, but he was still skeptical: "...Could it be that ordinary girl's method to absolve her brother? I don't know if it's not a fabrication!"

Changsun Yuan looked at the unconscious girl with closed eyes: "Wake up the person first."

Feng Min didn't wake up until late at night, and she recognized at a glance that the thin and cold face was Sun Yuan, the left minister of the dynasty, and the father of the eldest grandson Seventh Lady who was indirectly killed by her.

The extremely oppressive old man's eyes were like a knife: "I'll tell you the story of the two of you committing crimes that day, verbatim."

Feng Min was terrified, but he dared not disobey.

Her voice trembled weakly, going through Yanming.

Seeing the tears of fear and remorse on the girl's face, Changsun Yuan's heart was pierced, and he asked word by word: "What is my last sentence... what did I say?"

This is to test the authenticity of the other party, and it is also a father who wants to hear the last voice left by his daughter who died in vain.

"Changsun Seventh Lady said to the maid, said..." At that time, Changsun Xuan was strangled by Ming Jin, her voice was weak and frightened, and Feng Min's tearful repeating voice was also trembling: "Shu Xin, hurry up, go find Xiao come early……"

Shu Xin is the name of Changsun Xuan's maid.

Xiao Zao is the unique name Chang Sun Xuan gave to her nephew, Chang Sun Ji, and it is impossible for outsiders to know it.

After hearing this sentence, Changsun Ji, who clenched his fists tightly and had red eyes, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't bear it anymore, turned around abruptly, pushed open the door, and ran to the corridor.

The young man didn't care about his appearance and demeanor, standing on the porch and crying with the sound of the rain.

When my aunt had an accident, he was also picking chrysanthemums in the back mountain. He hadn’t seen her for a while, and wanted to look for it, but was stopped by a few friends on the way. They agreed to go to Cuju together after returning to the city. The more they talked, the more they talked. , So he forgot to find his sister-in-law.

Blame him!

The young man cried louder and louder, blaming himself with grief and remorse.

Feng Min has already been taken down.

In the room, Changsun Yan's eyes were full of suppressed grief and anger: "In my father's opinion, is this credible..."

Although Feng Min's words sound flawless, because the opposite is the Ming family, this matter needs to be especially cautious, and one must be careful of the possibility of being provoked and used by others.

Changsun Yuan held the armrest of the Grand Master's chair tightly: "Immediately ask people to find out the every move of the Ming family's mother and son these days in detail... Hurry up."

Without knowing anything, it is easy to find out the hidden truth.But if you get the "answer" first, and then retrospectively investigate, it is often easy to find the flaws. Even if you can't grasp the substantive evidence, it is enough to distinguish the truth from the false.

After Changsun Yan answered, he asked his father: "If it is really what Ming Jin did..."

Changsun Yuan: "Life pays."

……

Chang Suining is naturally not afraid of the eldest grandson's family to check the truth, since it is true, he is not afraid of the investigation.

She chose to send Feng Min to the eldest grandson's family to borrow the strength of the eldest grandson's family and to preserve the value of Feng Min as a witness.

The eldest grandson's family has their own means, and I believe that this matter will be confirmed soon, and they will take action at that time.

The eldest grandson's family can use Feng Min as a witness to put pressure on the Empress Ming, but this alone is not enough.

At least the Ming family still has room to defend against this. This confrontation is destined to take a long time, but her elder brother can't afford it.

The role of the eldest grandson's family is in the court and in the balance of power. It is beneficial to love, and they will insist on seeking justice for the eldest grandson seventh lady, but the justice that the eldest grandson seeks will not be accurate enough to save her elder brother's life.

Everyone's demands are different, but the actual interests are like this, even if her elder brother died in prison, it will not affect the justice that the Changsun family wants to seek in the future.

Therefore, for her, the Changsun family is just a relationship of leverage, not a partner who advances and retreats together, and can deliver all hopes.

The son of her Chang family needs to be rescued by herself.

It rained all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Chang Suining put on his robe, fastened his cloak, and brought the dagger that could cut jade like mud that Cui Jing gave her at the apprentice banquet.

good night~
