After being alone in the boudoir for who knows how long, Jiang Tian finally withdrew from it. Because, no matter what happened to this body in the past, he already got what he wanted. The fourth stage task prompt in the field of vision: "peeling silk and pulling out cocoons" has grown again.
Then, looking at the bundle of yellowed and whitened letter paper that Jiang Tian brought out, and the "Lantai Collection" filled with Juan Xiu's annotations, King Pu burst into tears again. He never imagined that these things were still hidden in the embroidery building where he happened to be alone and remembering in private.
But he felt happy in his heart, and became more and more determined in some thoughts and ideas. However, just as King Pu was flipping through the letters found by Jiang Tian from the secret compartment of the bed curtain with his trembling hands, the progress of the task in his field of vision moved forward a few steps.
Especially when turning to the "Lantai Collection" full of annotations, subtle changes in the progress of the task kept popping up; this made Jiang Tian couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the events of that year were actually related to this respected person? Is Lao Yiyi's Prince Pu also involved and involved?
In fact, Jiang Tian has already read through the "Lantai Collection" at a glance. Most of the pages are full of annotations. Therefore, the many handwritings left by Jinjuhime in it are not so much comments on the content, but more like notes about daily life and thoughts;
It is also like a profile of a life, and the thoughts of a wealthy, carefree, innocent and ignorant daughter's family are vividly displayed on the page. But there is almost no content directly related to the situation of that year. Judging from the tone of the letter, it is a process of getting married with peace of mind and full of expectations and longing.
Therefore, Jiang Tian also raised a second question: "May I ask your Majesty, apart from you, is there anyone else who has ever been in and out of the boudoir in the embroidery building?". Because, in order to look for possible clues, he used the "micro mode" to examine it carefully.
Therefore, in addition to these letters hidden in the secret compartment between the bed curtains, Jiang Tian also discovered other traces of the past. For example, under the thick layer of dust, there are signs that someone has moved and rummaged through it but failed to return it to its correct location. It's not like what King Pu left behind when he saw things and missed people.
Therefore, after hearing this sentence, King Pu rarely cheered up and stood up and said: "You mean... besides Gu, there are people who secretly enter the embroidery building without permission! This is unreasonable. Gu has strictly prohibited anyone from doing so in his early years. When we enter Jinyunzhai, there are still people who dare to secretly rebel."
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Jiang Tian shook his head again and said: "I also found some traces of someone searching earlier, as if they were looking for something in the dark; and more than once; according to the thickness of the dust, , from early years to recent months."
"You mean? There is no reason for this... There is no reason for this!" However, the next moment, King Pu ignored his old age and immediately straightened his beard and hair, and said angrily: "Is it possible that after so many years, there are still people secretly monitoring this matter? That's it. Hiding in my house?"
"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Jiang Tian nodded slightly and said: "And the other party is obviously very familiar with the situation in the house; only then can he use regular sweeping and maintenance to eliminate the traces of his own entry and exit; only by banning entry and exit for a long time The inner room is the exception."
"Surprisingly... there is such a thing, so it's useless for the lonely king... his family has made a fool of himself." When King Pu heard this, his face showed determination and anger, and he turned his head and shouted: "Here comes someone. ..." Immediately, he saw the previous chief historian of the palace and quickly bowed in.
"This is Wang Changshi who has served the lonely king for many years and can be called loyal and reliable." King Pu immediately introduced Jiang Tian, and then turned to Wang Changshi and said: "Lu Zhang, all kinds of close people who belong to this palace Wait, are there any examples of people who suddenly resigned or resigned in recent years?"
"Replying to your Majesty, it seems that there have been several people." Wang Changshi thought for a moment, then adjusted Qingming's voice and said in detail: "Among them, Deng Dian, the conductor of the Marriage Affairs Office, and Qiu Xingxing of the Zhang Nei Mansion Cheng, as well as Cheng Jingze, chief food officer of Yisi, and Chen Dianjing, professor of academic affairs..."
"Excuse me, excluding weddings and funerals, what are the cases that have not yet been returned?" Jiang Tian added after hearing this: "For example, if a relative at home is suddenly ill and needs to visit, or if there is a normal situation, There was no warning, but there was a sudden change in the family, and the person did not return after the due date..."
"..." However, Wang Changshi did not speak, but he bowed and looked at King Pu. After a while, he raised his hand and said: "What Jiang Jianxian said is what the lonely king wants to know. Even if you know everything, say it." Everything is exhaustive and nothing is left out.”
"No!" Wang Changshi straightened up and said seriously: "If we go by the Supervisor's statement, there are two people who seem to be quite consistent; that is, Deng Dian, the chief of the Prince's Marriage Office, and the Zhang Neifu I am engaged in Peng Wen Cun. It has been overdue for two or three months..."
"Thank you for clearing up the confusion. I dare to ask Wang Changshi." Jiang Tian nodded and said, "Have these two people ever interacted with Bieyuan, or have they been on duty in Bieyuan for a long time."
"..." However, upon hearing these words, Wang Changshi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned his head and bowed to King Pu: "I am scared, I have made an oversight. These two people are..." Those who have been on duty in Bieyuan, especially Lu Wencun from the tent house, came here with the king."
"So, the lonely king has been under the prying eyes of some people with ulterior motives these years." King Pu couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this, and felt full of sorrow and indescribable indignation: "The Dian who is responsible for guarding Jinyunzhai In the military, I’m afraid it’s also related to it, right?”
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
Wang Changshi did not speak again, but he continued to accuse him repeatedly. However, Jiang Tian suddenly asked: "I wonder what the relationship between Peng Wencun, who works in the inner palace, and Peng Wenju, who was once the repairman of the inner palace?"
"This..." Wang Changshi couldn't help racking his brains after hearing this, "It seems that he is a brother from the same clan, and he was also the guarantor of Peng Langguan back then; this is why he used the ten special subjects of the Civil Service School Seven of them were selected to serve in the palace, and the one recommended was Zhang Zejin, a doctor from the Six Schools at that time."
"Good... good... good... very good." After hearing what he said, King Pu's face became more and more gloomy. He suddenly turned to Jiang Tian and asked, "Is this Peng Langguan? Newly discovered, who are the people involved in the secret passage leading to the Imperial City?"
"That's it." Jiang Tian nodded. Obviously, although King Pu retired at home, he was still quite well-informed about relevant news. In other words, Yang Guoguan, the junior uncle/private envoy, couldn't wait to notify each other immediately.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it." King Pu took a breath, fell on the soft couch again and said bitterly: "Such a secret and important relationship is actually hidden in my house, and it is hidden so deep! It's been so long! If it weren't for the Supervisor... someone comes and tells Feng Sima."
Then, a red-robed military attache with a deep face and heavy eyebrows strode into the Liang Palace with vigorous strides. He folded his arms and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?" "Feng Biting, can the lonely king trust you?" King Pu said again coldly:
"The Feng family has been greatly favored and has been serving for more than five generations. She is willing to die to repay the favor." The red-robed military attache immediately said: "I would like to give an order from the king, and my servants will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"In this case, you summon the guards of Yisi and cooperate with Jiangsu to search the inside and outside of Bieyuan immediately." King Pu said coldly: "From King Gu and Prince to the rest of the family, there have been some objections and obstacles. He will be treated as a suspected criminal and will be detained without fear. If there is any stubborn resistance, you can deal with it as soon as possible."
"I would also like to thank the supervisor for allowing my sister who has been missing for many years to be able to rebuild her life." After a while, they were given the opportunity to face each other. Feng Biting, the Sima of Prince Pu's Palace who came out together, took the initiative to salute Jiang Tian and said: "Therefore, The supervisor can be regarded as my benefactor, Feng."
Jiang Tian couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then he realized that what he was talking about was the skeleton found in the sedimentation tank used to hide criminal evidence at the other end of the underground network tunnel exit. Based on the assembled pelvis, it was initially determined that she was a woman in her twenties or thirties.
Later, a number of fragments of personal belongings were salvaged, further proving that this female skeleton was most likely to have disappeared with Princess Zhenzhu, the palace attendant/senior female official Feng Banheng; and was also scheduled to be dowed to her future husband Yang. The head of the female officials in the clan's house.
But Jiang Tian, who had already seen the afternoon report, also knew that judging from the recovered skeleton, she suffered great pain and torture before her death; because her limbs were broken, and her chest and ribs were also cracked in many places. , like being crushed back and forth by a heavy object, not even an inch intact...
"The Supervisor knows that my sister was already married at that time, and we were very fond of each other." Sima Feng Biting couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes and continued to remember: "As a result, after that night, my father took the blame and excused himself; he was bedridden. . Jiayan washed his face with tears and died in depression."
"Please forgive me for your condolences. People who are still alive should find out the truth about this and try their best to comfort Jiuquanxia." Therefore, even if Jiang Tian had thousands of words, he could only turn it into a reluctant word of comfort: King Pu also suddenly understood His intentions, at least this person has absolutely no problem with his stance.
"So please ask the Supervisor to just give you the order, and I will do my best to cooperate and assist." Sima Feng Biting then swept away the faded and sad feelings, and said sternly to Jiang Tian: "Even if I give up my future, As long as we can use the old eucalyptus from back then..."
"Now that you said that, I suddenly had an idea and train of thought." Jiang Tian also put away his sympathy and said: "Your sister had a fanatical suitor or an object of hatred in love; even if She was once humiliated in public..."
"Well, my sister was also a very strong person back then, so she had quite a few admirers. Speaking of fanatics..." After hearing this, Feng Sima's expression froze, and he racked his brains and began to recall. : "In addition, in order to maintain the reputation of His Highness, I have also argued with others."
That night, a nimble figure suddenly appeared on the wall of the back garden of Bieyuan; and then the moment it fell into the empty alley, it was suddenly illuminated by the bright firelight from both ends, making it difficult to open its eyes: Then, Feng Sima's voice of hatred sounded: "I didn't expect that it would be you!"
