Cangxian——
Director Lin finally arrived at the place, and his men had already grabbed a few children at the entrance to the city: "Hey, children, do you know that there is a very good singer here in the Rongsheng Opera Troupe? His name is Lan Xiaolou."
Several children looked at each other, and one of them took the copper coins they gave him: "I know, I know, it's called Lan Xiaolou. Wherever you go from here, turn left when you see the fork in the road. Just go through three villages." . But noble man, he has not been back for a long time. If you are looking for him, you may not be able to find him."
The guard pushed the child: "Go, go, why do you care so much? Just take the money and leave."
A group of children ran back into the alley, divided the money and dispersed. The guards stepped forward to lead the way for Lin Zhangjing.
"Not urgent!"
Lin Zhangjing was a little more distracted than them, and opened his tired eyes: "Go to the stall and ask the uncles and aunts. The children's words are not accurate."
The guard quickly walked over and took out a bag of coins: "Madam... I want to ask you something."
"What's big?"
"aunt?"
"What girl?"
This old woman is deaf!
After finally waiting for the guard to explain clearly, the aunt pointed the same way as the children.
The guard went back to report, and then Lin Zhangjing flicked his riding whip: "Hurry up and get over there."
The emperor may be impatient with the wait.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..."
Ma Yiyang only felt that it had been a long time before he heard the muffled sound of horse hoofbeats. He quickly issued a warrant, and Xiao Zhong and Luo Cheng disappeared in a flash.
"Uu——"
"Damn it!"
Someone scolded: "How dare those children and old women lie to us. The next door is clearly Jijia Village, causing us to waste so much time. When I go back, I will definitely arrest them and beat them up when I see them."
Lin Zhangjing was in a particularly irritable mood. He kicked away the guard who was asking for directions and said, "Is this Lan Xiaolou's home? Go in and have a look."
If he really had a cousin who had been dependent on him since childhood, there would always be traces of a woman living in this house.
"Zhiqua——"
When someone pushed the dilapidated wooden door, half of the latch was broken. Dust fell from the top of the head, causing Zhang Jing and others to cough.
The room was gray and dim, and there was no light. Two guards came forward and opened the window, and there was another burst of dust.
Lin Zhangjing fanned his hands, and it took him a long time to see clearly the scene in the room.
It is a simple wooden bed, but there is a light blue gauze curtain above the wooden bed. On the wooden bed is a quilt embroidered by the woman herself.
Why would he know that it was embroidered by a woman herself?
Because there were no men in the Yan Dynasty who knew how to embroider, and the patterns on the quilt were really not pretty. They must have been embroidered by beginners who spent a lot of effort.
In the center of the room is a round table with a teapot and a cup for drinking water.
Looking around, the woman's dressing table looks relatively new. It may be that the owner took good care of it before.
"Clang!"
The sound of wood falling apart disturbed Lin Zhangjing who was observing the environment. The guard quickly explained: "Zhangjing, there are women's clothes here."
It is said to be clothing, but it is actually a red wedding dress.
It was wrapped in black cloth. It had been there for I don’t know how many years. It was slightly faded, but because it was wrapped in something, it was the only thing in the house that looked clean.
Lin Zhangjing picked up the wedding dress with the scabbard and looked at it. This dress seemed to be better than the Queen's. Bah, bah, bah... He couldn't be disrespectful to the Queen.
After saying "sin", he asked the guards to pick up the wedding dress and carry it with him: "This is physical evidence. Take it back to the emperor for his decision."
"Mirror, come and see, there is a grave here that has been dug up."
Someone dug a grave?
Lin Zhangjing rushed out of the back door with a whoosh, and saw a mess.
The coffin was violently pried open, and the bones inside were missing. A wooden tablet broken into two pieces was thrown on the ground, with the words "Grave of My Wife... What... Dong... What..." written on the ground?
The name engraved on the monument was scratched beyond recognition with a knife, making it impossible to recognize the words.
But it can be seen that the person who destroyed this place wanted to change the word "Dong" on the wooden tablet to the word "Jiang".
Someone wanted to frame the Queen, so they deliberately arranged for those children to show them the wrong way!
Fortunately, Mr. Lin was clever. When he saw the villagers outside Jijia Village, he realized that they were going the wrong way, so he quickly turned around and headed towards Loujia Village, which the villagers mentioned when asking for directions.
The previous nickname of Lan Xiaolou was Cuiyulou. Anyway, it was inseparable from the word "lou", so it was undoubtedly Loujiacun.
Lin Zhangjing was so enlightened that he picked up the broken piece of wood on the ground and ran away: "Quick! Go back to the palace and tell the emperor that the queen has been wronged."
It was Concubine Tong who wanted to harm her!
If he could look more carefully, he would find that the excavated soil was actually newly filled.
Jiang Xinyue asked Jiang Yankun to arrange for people to come to Cang County, not to build a fake tombstone. It would be too easy to find flaws. They are not so powerful that they can conjure a corpse and build an old tomb three or four years ago. .
So, how can we create a new tomb without being discovered to be a new tomb?
Jiang Xinyue said in the letter that she asked her father to send people to dig the non-existent grave, dig out the coffin, and steal the non-existent bones.
The soil dug out of the ground is all new, and no one can tell whether the soil is old or new.
Anyway, whoever wants to harm her will be responsible for digging up the grave of Lan Xiaolou's "fiancée" cousin.
After another six hours of galloping, Lin Zhangjing and others hurried back to the palace, and when they presented the things to the emperor, they said: "Your Majesty, the Tong family is really disgusting. They dug up their graves and stole their bones. Want to If my subordinates and others had not discovered in time that they had been deceived and rushed to Loujia Village, they would have even changed the name on the tombstone."
"Dong?"
Lan Xiaolou's parents died young and he didn't have any relatives at home, except for the cousin he mentioned. The cousin also had no relatives, so there was no way to find out their identities.
But one person's lies cannot be laid out from such an early stage, so they should be true.
The clothes that Lin Zhangjing brought back were two sizes larger than Yue'er's, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not hers.
He knew that Yue'er's favorite had always been him.
The Tong family is really hateful.
"Wang Dequan has conveyed my decree. The Tong family intends to discredit and frame the queen. From now on, Tong Bingchen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will be dismissed from his post and investigated to serve as a warning to others."
Wang De didn't know whether the Queen would fall or not, but he felt that the Emperor was about to fall.
The emperor frequently summoned ministers of the court and central government in the imperial study room, and had not returned to Chengqian Palace to sleep for several days.
Everyone in the harem said that he was frustrated in love and focused all his energy on state affairs.
The concubines in the harem were waiting for the empress to fall out of favor, and they used many tricks to win the emperor's favor.
