Chapter 221
Wu Zhenying didn't ask why, but just nodded.Shen Jiangdong said: "Meng Guangshi used to be the head of Duan Wang's mansion. After he became the commander of Xishan Battalion, he was hacked to death for assassinating the king. Xu Wenchang checked what he was doing..." (see Chapter 75 Wanli Sad Autumn)

Wu Zhenying said: "I don't know about that."

Shen Jiangdong lost his mind for a while, and said: "Thank you uncle for telling me, I'll take my leave first." He patted Gu Heng's arm, and Fu Linchuan also said goodbye, and left like the wind.

Siqing has always been in a daze, Xiao Yi called her a few times this day but she didn't hear her, and asked loudly, "Siqing? What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering...whether Xu Wenchang has anything to do with Kang Wang's mansion." Si Qing said.

Xiao Yi said: "Forget it, I don't want him to bite a bunch."

"Why doesn't he bite Ye Qiuling, the fourth bedroom of the Ye family?"

As far as Siqing knew, Ye Qiuling was also involved in the Wuxiang business.

Xiao Yi smiled, "Why did he offend you at this time? He is not stupid, if he really bit Ye Qiuling, wouldn't he die faster?"

Siqing said: "I won't hold grudges, what happened to Ye Qiuling has nothing to do with me."

"He's still smart," Xiao Yi said, "Unfortunately, his hands are too long."

Si Qing said: "I still want to know how Xu Wenchang knew about Uncle Xie's past."

"He won't tell," Xiao Yi said, "If you ask, he may be more suspicious of Liang's past."

"Zheng Yiqin." Siqing's eyes flashed.

Xiao Yi didn't expect Siqing to dance so fast, "Who?"

"People who know about this, except for the Lin family, Fu Shibo, and Xie Yan..." Si Qing said, "They didn't tell Xu Wenchang, so there is only one person left who might say that Zheng Yiqin is very suspicious."

Xiao Yi thought for a while, "Motive?"

Siqing said: "I don't know yet. I must solve the mystery that has been lingering in my mind for so long before the Lin family leaves Beijing."

Xiao Yi shook Siqing's hand, and Siqing said, "Aren't you happy to be an uncle?"

Xiao Yi smiled, "Then what are you, aunt or aunt?" He approached Siqing, "How about we raise another girl?"

He brought up the old story again, and Si Qing picked up the pillow and threw it away, "You can raise with whomever you like."

The civet cat jumped up, Xiao Yi hugged the civet cat and said with a smile: "This girl is fine, but she can't speak."

Siqing smiled.

In the afternoon of that day, it suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and the snow fluttered and swayed down, but Shen Jiangdong came to worship in the snow, Siqing said: "What happened again?"

Shen Jiangdong came in the snow with a very ugly expression on his face.Xiao Yi asked someone to open the window and said, "The charcoal gas is too heavy, Yuanxi sit down."

Shen Jiangdong thanked his seat, and said, "Before Xu Wenchang was arrested, he was investigating...Meng Guangshi."

Xiao Yi's expression changed instantly, Shen Jiangdong stood up again, Si Qing said: "He really... cares a lot."

"Yesterday," Xiao Yi's expression changed a little, "someone anonymously voted in a package about Xu Wenchang."

Siqing asked, "Black account?"

"Someone wants him to die?" Shen Jiangdong said.

"So, is he connected with Prince Kang's mansion?" Si Qing said, "If not, why did he investigate Meng Guangshi? There is no reason..."

Shen Jiangdong tentatively said: "This kind of investigation is not a good sign."

Just as Xiao Yi was about to speak, Yun Chu came in and reported, "I report to Your Majesty, the punishment book Yang Wanquan is asking to see you."

Xiao Yi wondered: "Isn't he sick? See you in Liuyun Palace."

Shen Jiangdong withdrew first, Xiao Yi said: "Yuanxi's complexion is very bad, is he not feeling well? It's cold, so don't be careless."

Shen Jiangdong agreed to withdraw, Xiao Yi went to see the punishment book, Yun Chu said quietly to Si Qing: "It seems that Xu Shangshu is dead."

Siqing said, "Dead? How did you die?"

"Sudden illness," Yun Chu said, "maybe she died of fright."

After a while, Xiao Yi came back with a sullen face, swept all the things on the table, and the teacup was broken on the floor.He rarely loses his composure like this, and Siqing doesn't try to console him.Seeing that Siqing didn't respond, Xiao Yi turned his head and said bitterly, "Xu Wenchang is dead."

Siqing said: "It's a coincidence that he died. Why do I feel that the criminal department is not paying attention in the North and South Prisons. Last time it was... Han Shoushen? Last time it was Xiao Xu, this time it was Xu Wenchang again."

Xu Wenchang died of illness, and it became unclear whether he had anything to do with Kang Wangfu's rebellion.Siqing also couldn't determine whether Xu Wenchang had discovered the life experience of the former Shangyang princess Yan Mowei and why he went to investigate Meng Guangshi's past.Seeing that Xu Wenchang was dead, Siqing ignored Xu Wenchang's affairs.But Xiao Yi seems to be very afraid of why Xu Wenchang would check Meng Guangshi.After all, the one who wanted to investigate Meng Guangshi the most should be Duan Wang who had been silent before, and it was indeed a bit abnormal for Duan Wang to be so silent.

As the winter festival approached, Ling Zhen became more and more busy, so she went back to Ninghua Hall first.This day Lingzhen came to see Siqing again in Qingxi Garden, Siqing said: "I will go back to Ninghua Palace in these two days, are you still able to come soon?"

Ling Zhen agreed, Si Qing said: "I want to tell you about Uncle Xie's family, sit down."

Ling Zhen had some doubts, "Why didn't the girl tell His Majesty?"

Siqing said: "I don't know why, the third brother didn't want to reverse the case of Lord Yasukuni. There was a good time before, but he kept silent. This time, when my brother had an accident, he still kept silent about the case of Lord Yasukuni, which is very taboo. Xie's family Uncle's case is the introduction to the Yasukuni case, how can I tell him?"

After Gu Heng's suicide, the fragments of Yasukuni and Yu Yunhe's case were pieced together in Siqing's mind to form a complete picture.

Siqing's adoptive father, Fu Linchuan, was originally named Lu Yuan, and he was proficient in writing. When he was studying at Gushan Academy, his classmates included Zheng Yiqin, the later university scholar, Yao Yuantu, the governor of Zhejiang, Lin Shiyi, a famous scholar in Jiangzuo, and Xie Zixian, Gu Heng's father, and others.Yu Yunhe is Fu Linchuan's fellow Taoist, and later became a peripheral member of the Gushan Society because of Fu Linchuan.Lu Yuan did not become an official like Zheng Yiqin and Yao Yuantu, nor did he write books and teach apprentices like Lin Shiyi and Xie Zixian. Instead, he was obsessed with Taoism.

Yu Yunhe was a Taoist friend that Lu Yuan met later, but Yu Yunhe also became an official, and worked in Jiangzuo after Xiao Yi became the emperor.Yu Yunhe was the elder brother of Empress Renkang, the uncle of Jinshang, and the father of Yan Mowei, the princess of Shangyang, and the confidant of Yan Jingxiu, Duke of Jingguo.

When he ascended the throne today, due to his young age, Duke Shen Zizhou of Jia, Duke Yan Jingxiu of Jingguo and King Duanjing jointly assisted the government.The late emperor had three adopted daughters during his lifetime, namely Princess Xianju, the daughter of King Jing, Shen Huanhua, the daughter of Duke Jia Shen Zizhou (formerly the princess of Anyang, who was resigned by the Shen family), and Yan Mowei, the daughter of Duke Yan Jingxiu of Jingguo (the daughter of Shangyang. princess).The Duke of Jiajing and the two kings of Duanjing were at odds, and the empress dowager favored the two kings.Because of Shen Zizhou's early death, the court has become a situation where Lord Yasukuni is fighting against the two kings Duan Jing.

In the early days of the Yasukuni and Yu Yunhe cases, in order to strike at Yasukuni, the father of Xiaojing Wang Xiaoyu, Lao Jingwang first claimed that there were traitors in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that Yasukuni was more popular, and wanted to support Jingguo to usurp the throne, and then spread his name in Jiangnan. .Unfortunately, Gu Heng's father, Xie Zixian, was implicated by mistake. The Xie family turned to Zheng Yiqin, Xie Zixian's former classmate in the Gushan Club, who was an official to a university scholar, but Zheng Yiqin gave the Xie family a bad idea and asked the Xie family to force Xie Zixian to death. In order to prevent the Xie family from being found out and implicating the whole family of the Xie family.Xie Zixian was forced to death by Xie's brothers, Xie Zixian's wife died young, and Gu Heng was adopted by his father's former classmate Lu Yuan.Lu Yuan did not tell Gu Heng the truth, but only said that the Xie family abandoned Gu Heng because of the uneven family division, so Gu Heng changed his mother's surname to Gu Heng himself.

The turmoil caused by the old King Jing in the south of the Yangtze River was questioned by most of the civil officials in the court. Ye Xiufeng, who was at odds with the officials from the southern province at the time, also made great efforts to make peace on this matter.Ye Xiufeng's actions angered Lao Jingwang, so he was charged with other crimes and exiled in Fujian.Siqing was born on the way from Ye's family to the south, but was abandoned by Ye Xiufeng on the way.Mrs. Ye was pissed off because of this, and Siqing was adopted by Lu Yuan who was passing by, and became Lu Yuan's adopted daughter.

When the case of Lord Jingguo and Yu Yunhe broke out, Lao Jing Wang missed a single blow, so he started with Yu Yunhe, a close confidant of Lord Jingguo, saying that Yu Yunhe wrote an appeal, intending to rebel, colluding with Lord Jingguo at home and abroad, and wanted to support him. Duke Jing came to the throne and made Duke Jing the second Wang Mang.Lao Jingwang's behavior was acquiesced by the Empress Dowager.With this matter, Lao Jing Wang set off a big case in the south of the Yangtze River and in the court. In the court, Duke Jing Guo was forced to death, his sister Empress Dowager Renkang "died of illness", and Yu Yunhe's relatives and friends in the south of the Yangtze River were almost implicated.

As a close friend of Yu Yunhe, Lu Yuan had a relationship with each other.Lu Yuan wrote the preface to Yu Yunhe's book that was accused of treason, and Lu Yuan was implicated in it.At that time, Yao Yuantu, Lu Yuan's former classmate in the Gushan Club, was already working in the Prosecution Division. He keenly realized that if Lu Yuan was involved in the case of Lord Yasukuni and Yu Yunhe, due to his background in the Gushan Club, it would probably detonate the Gushan Society, after all, most of Jiang Zuo's literati can't understand Lao Jingwang's demeanor.So out of righteousness to Lu Yuan's friend and self-protection, Yao Yuantu swapped Lu Yuan's case file with that of a death row prisoner named "Fu Linchuan".From now on, there will be no more Lu Yuan in this world, and Lu Yuan will live as Fu Linchuan.

In the process of being implicated in the case of Yu Yunhe and Yasukuni, Wu Zhenying, a good friend whom he met in the north, came to Jiangnan to see Fu Linchuan's wounded.Fu Linchuan's original idea was that if he couldn't escape, he would entrust Gu Heng and Siqing to Wu Zhenying and let Wu Zhenying take them to the imperial capital.After Fu Linchuan's accident, Gu Heng's uncle and Xie Yan's father, who was also the only family member of Xie's family who opposed forcing Gu Heng's biological father to death, approached Fu Linchuan and wanted to take Gu Heng away to raise him, but Gu Heng refused.Later, Fu Linchuan escaped successfully, Wu Zhenying returned to the north, and Gu Heng and Siqing returned to Fu Linchuan.

After the cases of Lord Yasukuni and Yu Yunhe were temporarily closed, brothers and sisters Gu Heng and Siqing grew up and knew about Fu Linchuan's change of identity.Siqing has always suspected that Lin Shiyi's proud disciples Du Sizhong and Xu Wenchang also have some doubts.In fact, Siqing's guess made sense, Xu Wenchang had some doubts, and Du Sizhong directly guessed the truth.The reason why Ye Xiufeng knew that Fu Linchuan was a fugitive in the Yu Yunhe case was because Du Sizhong was forced by him to speak out.

In the 13th year of Xining, Siqing returned to the Ye family in the imperial capital and was sent to the palace.By chance, Gu Heng married Yan Mowei, the daughter of Lord Jingxiu Yan Jingxiu. Since then, the case of Lord Jingguo and Yu Yun has implicated Fu Linchuan, Gu Heng Yan Mowei and his wife.King Jing and Empress Dowager passed away one after another, and Xiao Yi was in charge. King Zong headed by King Duan, King Kang, and Prince Anping still had deep roots, and sticking to the Yasukuni case was the conclusion of the conspiracy.So after Fu Linchuan's accident, Siqing was extremely nervous.Later, King Duan's power declined, Prince Kang's eldest son conspired against him, and Prince Anping died in battle. Siqing always thought that there was an opportunity for Lord Jingguo and Yu Yunhe to overturn the case, but Xiao Yi remained unmoved.Xiao Yi neither revealed Fu Linchuan's identity nor even helped Siqing cover it up, but he never mentioned reversing the case for his uncle, Duke Jing.

Behind the Yasukuni case are the Zongwangs who are causing trouble. Among the Zongwangs, there are rebels in the Prince Kang's mansion, who colluded with the Dingnan Fan to train private soldiers in the north of Beijing.The money and food spent by the private soldiers came from the household book Xu Wenchang.Xu Wenchang died in prison, and the clues were cut off immediately.

Ling Zhen said: "Then Xu Wenchang was silenced?"

Siqing snorted, "Even if it is, Yang Wanquan won't let go. There is no headless case."

Ling Zhen said: "What do you mean when the girl talks about the old affairs of Mr. Gu's family?"

"The three things about Uncle Xie's family, Yu Yunhe, and Lord Jingguo are actually one thing," Siqing said. Now I have no way of knowing what he was thinking. Also, the grudge between Ye Xiufeng and Zheng Yiqin should also be related to this matter."

Ling Zhen said: "Isn't it related to the old King Jing?"

"Back then, there were rumors that Lord Jingguo wanted to be Wang Mang, and there were some rumors that he was regarded as a virtuous lord. There were even some vague 'calls'. The old man was an admonisher back then, and he deliberately suppressed this matter and offended the old King Jing. , so he was expelled. At that time, Zheng Yiqin was restrained by the two kings of Duan Jing everywhere, and he simply bowed his head and listened to his ears, pretending to be deaf and dumb. The matter became serious, and he was looking for scholars who wrote essays in Jiangzuo. Uncle Xie’s family might be implicated because of the same name, and was thanked. His family was forced to death. It was Zheng Yiqin's idea to force him to death, maybe he was also afraid of hurting himself," Siqing said, "Uncle Fu, Lin's family and Zheng Yiqin turned against each other because of this matter, but because Zheng Yiqin's 'knowledge', he retreated unscathed , Enron retired."

Ling Zhen asked: "Then what happened to Yu Yunhe?"

"Yu Yunhe and Uncle Fu are old acquaintances," Siqing said, "uncle Fu met in Guanzhong when he was a fellow Taoist. Yu Yunhe later served as an official in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was quite critical of the old man's respect for the king. Duke Jingguo has a bad reputation. Later, he wrote a letter saying that rumors based on rumors were not worth mobilizing people, which aroused fear from the clan. Someone reported Yu Yunhe and urged Duke Jing to follow the example of Wang Mang. Uncle Fu had a lot of contacts with him, so he was implicated. Yao Yuantu, who was working in Jiangnan at the time, and Uncle Fu were classmates in Gushan, so they exchanged the files and saved Uncle Fu. Immediately after the case of Yu Yunhe, Duke Jing was arrested. At one point, the sky changed, the empress dowager Renkang died, and the Yan family mansion collapsed."

Ling Zhen sharply said: "So how did Xu Wenchang know about Mr. Gu's family affairs? Could Zheng Yiqin's plan to kill the girl be related to his old grievances with the master?"
