Meilin Zangshu

Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division, finally returned to Jinling City after several months.

When Mei Changsu received the news, his pupils constricted and his hands clenched into fists.The Xuanjing Division was originally the very new investigative agency appointed by Emperor Liang. It was not involved in party disputes and had a clear mirror hanging high.However, it was such an upright Xuanjing chief who used his bloody hands and Xie Yu to create the illusion of the Red Flame Army's rebellion, which caused Lin's mansion to disappear overnight and Jing Yumeng. The innocent injustice finally committed suicide by drinking.

He slowly loosened his grip on the palm, looked at the deep imprint in his palm, closed his eyes and breathed steadily, restraining the turmoil in his mind at this moment.

A while later, Fei Liu led the order to sneak into the Xuanjing Division, and sent a letter to Xia Dong who was punished and grounded by Xia Jiang for not getting out in time due to the Ningguo Hou Mansion.After Xia Dong received the letter, her bright eyes flickered. Jiangzuo Meilang's letter mentioned that Xie Yu in prison might know something about Chi Yan's past. She pondered for a moment, then nodded to Feiliu: "Tell Mr. Su, Just say that Xia Dong must go."

Fei Liu hummed, and left directly, the Xuanjing Division was closely guarded by a cloud of masters, and no one could notice it.

Xia Dong was sitting in front of the window, with her bare hands on her chest, she didn't know why she suddenly felt flustered, just like when Xie Yu Xie Houye wiped out the rebellious Chiyan army and returned to Jinling City, and sent her back half of her husband's bones according to.

Back then, the Chiyan case affected not only Prince Jing and Nihuang, old friends of the Chiyan Army, but also a young woman like her.Day after day, she hoped that her husband would return triumphantly as soon as possible, but all she could hope for was his scribbled suicide note of "The Commander Betrayed and Desired to Help", and the half-skeleton that was brought back to the capital by Xie Yu soon after.

After burying the bones of her husband Nie Feng, she has since suppressed her smile and kept her filial piety and chastity for him.It is precisely because of all kinds of entanglements with the Chiyan Army that Xia Dong can't really regard Nihuang, who has an extraordinary relationship with the Chiyan Marshal, as a bosom friend.

Xia Dong was dazed for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly and looked at himself in the mirror. The young woman in the bronze mirror was wearing a plain hairpin, with a sour smile, and the beauty of the corners of her eyebrows and eyes was gradually wrinkled by time.

She gently stroked her face, tears welled up in her eyes, "I don't know if you can still recognize me at such an old age on Huangquan Road..."

After Xia Jiang returned to the capital, he only entered the sky prison once. Xie Yu, who had originally confessed like beans in a bamboo tube, suddenly changed his tune.

King Yu was deeply troubled by this, he could not take Xia Jiang to prison for interrogation without proof, and he could no longer play tricks on Xie Yu, who denied the crime, so he had no choice but to come to Su Manor to ask Mei Chang Su asked for help.Mei Changsu seemed to have expected that King Yu would come, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to King Yu, and asked, "Has His Highness recorded Xie Yu's confession a few days ago?"

King Yu took out two pages of thin paper from his sleeve and handed it to Mei Changsu, "This king has considered this, so I kept the certificate."

Mei Changsu said with a faint smile: "Since we have the evidence, we can start a search. Xia Shouzun went to the prison, and Xie Yu suddenly changed his words. He must have agreed to some conditions for Xia Jiang. In return, Xia Jiang will have a lot of money." Maybe start with the crime he denies, try to make the situation a little smaller in front of His Majesty, and then save his life."

He seemed to glance at the two pieces of paper casually, "Every piece of paper on this paper is evidence, and there are also some unbelievable things, for example, Xie Yu once instructed Zhuo Dingfeng to kill a teaching teacher, Li Chongxin. Why don't you, Your Highness?" Check it out, maybe one of these is Xia Jiang and Xie Yu's hidden insider transaction."

King Yu came and went in a hurry, and without his noisy Mei Changsu, Mei Changsu was much quieter, gathered up his fox fur, turned his face and looked out the window.There was a snowfall not long ago, and the chilly spring breeze these few days brought a bit of rejuvenation and warmth, and even the vegetation in the courtyard showed a little bit of compelling greenness.

Mei Changsu let out a long sigh of relief, Spring is almost here.

It's a pity that this warm feeling didn't last long, and it was lost in the dark prison.Accompanied by Fei Liu, Mei Changsu came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, accompanied by a small officer from the Criminal Division with a flattering smile on his face.Indistinctly, there seemed to be two guards chatting in front of them, one old and one young, and a few indistinct words quietly reached Mei Changsu's ears:

"Father, is that the cold name that detains princes and nobles?"

"Yeah, your father and I have been guards for decades, and I have seen countless princes and grandchildren come in and die... But there are also people who don't cry. When King Qi was imprisoned back then, he didn't shed a single tear, but one day King Qi wept for some reason all night after hearing the news that Xie Yu had killed all the traitors of Chi Yan. He coughed up blood until the end, and his eyes were almost blind. On the second day, King Qi drank poisonous wine ,well……"

Mei Changsu staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fei Liu quickly supported him, and carefully called Brother Su.On the other side, Mr. Ti Xingsi hurriedly asked for his health, and he didn't continue to lead the way until he was sure that the famous person next to King Yu in front of him was all right.

The two guards lowered their heads to death, and the lord of the Criminal Division sent Mei Changsu and his master and servant up the steps, and then suddenly cast a cold look: "Let me hear the discussion about King Qi again, be careful that I will smash your words." bone!"

Mei Changsu walked extremely steadily, and when he finished climbing the steps and turned around to the side passage, he silently slipped out his eyes and looked at the "Han" prison.

Jing Yu...was this the place where he cried all night for me and then drank poisonous wine?

The moment he saw Xie Yu, Mei Changsu was already 12 on guard.

He sat in the only place where the light came in through the prison window, with a smile on his face, and a cruel voice, step by step, he blocked all the vitality that Xie Yu had negotiated with Xia Jiang.Xie Yu's mouth was finally pried open, like a shellfish being cruelly pulled open by a hook, exposing the tender meat dripping with blood.

Mei Changsu said lightly that King Yu is a political enemy rather than an enemy, Xia Jiang's way of life has been blocked by him and King Yu, and if he wants to survive for the present plan, he will surrender.

Xie Yu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, "...What exactly do you want to know?"

Mei Changsu said, "I want to know why Xia Jiang wanted to kill Li Zhongxin."

After Jiang Zuomeng, Yu Wang, and Qin Banruo's red-sleeved tricks, Yu Wang finally discovered the clues in Zhuo Dingfeng and Xie Yu's confession paper. In order to pry the truth from Xie Yu's mouth, Yu Wang went to Xuanjing The secretary asked Xia Jiang whether it was related to Li Zhongxin's murder, which aroused Xia Jiang's suspicion and cut off Xie Yu's way of life.

Xie Yu replied, "You know this is meaningless."

Mei Changsu smiled, "Why is it meaningless? If you have this handle, His Highness Yu Wang will no longer have to worry. Xie Hou Ye is an important minister of the Eastern Palace. Xia Jiang has worked so hard to save you this time. The Xuanjing Division of the factional dispute is already on the side of the prince, right?"

Xie Yu closed his eyes, and said slowly: "You are too naive, Xia Jiang saved me not because of party disputes."

Mei Changsu smiled noncommittally.

Xie Yu slowly opened his eyes, stared at him and said, "I'll tell you everything, so what good will I do?"

Mei Changsu looked straight at him and said, "Alive!"

"There is King Yu in the capital, and Jiang Zuo League outside Jinling, they will definitely keep you alive!"

Xie Yu let out a long sigh, stood up and looked at the small sky outside the window, he was silent for a long time, and finally began to speak slowly, "Li Chongxin wrote a letter for Xia Jiang, and the fake one is Nie Feng's handwriting."

In the prison cell separated by a wall, the bodies of the two former members of the Red Flame case shook. Xia Dong's fingers trembled slightly, but he still listened carefully to the truth of the year.

"Nie Feng was a general of the Red Flame Army back then, and also the husband-in-law of Xia Dong, Secretary of the Xuanjing. Xia Jiang handed over the draft of the document that was easily obtained to Li Zhongxin, and ordered him to write a seamless distress letter, which read ' The coach Lin Xie conspired against me, I investigated, and in order to silence him, I was driven to death, I hope for help!'”

Xia Dong staggered, and he was able to stand still with the help of the wall.

Hearing the truth of the year, Mei Changsu felt his heart pierced by thousands of arrows. He stood up and looked at Xie Yu, and said, "In the name of saving Nie Feng, you ran thousands of miles to attack Nie Feng, and then brought his body back to the capital. Tell me again." Your Majesty, he was killed by the head coach Lin Xie. Then, with the false letter and corpse as evidence, the Red Flame Army was branded as a rebel, and you asked Your Majesty to send out the army, taking advantage of them and Dayu who invaded the border Ambush when the army is exhausted, right?"

Xie Yu was silent, but this kind of silence just represented an answer.Mei Changsu's eyes were sore and his heart felt cold, and even the two people separated by a wall were heartbroken.

Mei Changsu staggered out of the cell and nodded to the tear-stained lord King Jing. Behind King Jing, Xia Dong walked out like a lost soul.Although Prince Jing noticed that Mei Changsu's expression seemed strange, he was still worried that Xia Dong would walk out of the dungeon in such a daze. The moment he turned around, Mei Changsu lowered his head slightly, and a tear fell on his clothes.

Xia Dong staggered, King Jing stretched out his hand to help him worried, Xia Dong suddenly felt sour, and said sorry.

Prince Jing looked at her and said, "Xiao Shu won't blame you."

Xia Dong nodded vigorously, but tears fell down involuntarily.

The three people are separated, but each has its own destination.

Before Xia Dong came to the tomb of her deceased husband, she just knelt there and wept silently. The mountain wind stirred the paper money, and it clustered around her side by side.

Prince Jing went to Zhiluo Palace, and stood blankly in front of his mother's palace gate. Concubine Jing seemed to see something strange in his expression, and asked softly, "Jingyan, what's wrong with you?"

Prince Jing suddenly shed tears, "Mother, I miss him."

Concubine Jing felt pain in her heart, she couldn't help but stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, but this action caused Prince Jing to bury his face in his hands, and he cried softly from between his fingers: "Mother, I really I really miss...I really miss him..."

After Mei Changsu returned home, he sat quietly in front of the couch, holding the "Xiang Di Ji" firmly in his chest.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, for a while it was Xie Yu's own confession of the crime, for a while it was the joke farewell to Jing Yu when he left Jinling City, for a while it was the cold and bone-burning appearance of the 12 years of fire-cold poison... He often remembered the guards. Speaking of "crying bitterly all night, coughing up blood, and drinking poisonous wine", the heart that was frozen like ice was pierced by a sharp dagger, and the blood was visible deep with each knife.

Li Gang and Zhen Ping looked at the suzerain who didn't even take medicine, and turned around in a hurry. In the end, Li Gang invited Dr. Yan to go forward to persuade the suzerain, but seeing the suzerain's appearance, even Mei Chang, who had always been able to control Mei Chang Su's doctor Yan left with a sense of humor.

Fortunately, at the end, the sound of the bell in the passageway of the secret room brought Mei Changsu back to his senses. He hastily wiped away his tears, and then welcomed Prince Jing in.

The two had a long talk by holding candles, but in the distance in the palace city, there was an old man who was about to die.

The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed unconsciously, but she still remembered her children and grandchildren, calling "Jinyang" and "Xiaoshu" in a low voice.Among the concubines kneeling down and praying for blessings, Concubine Jing looked at the old man with sadness in her eyes.

In the Su residence, the two were still talking.

King Jing came here this time to show that he is determined to seek justice for Chi Yan's old man and clear up his grievances.

Mei Changsu suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart, stared at him and asked, "Does your Highness know that once the emperor finds out that you are investigating King Qi's old case, it will definitely cause endless disasters?"

King Jing said, "I know."

Mei Changsu asked again: "Your Highness, do you know that even if you find out the ins and outs, it won't be of any benefit to what His Highness is planning now?"

King Jing said, "I know!"

Mei Changsu asked again: "Does Your Highness know that as long as His Majesty is in power, he will not admit his mistakes?"

Prince Jing said loudly, "I know!"

Mei Changsu stared at him almost sharply, "Since you know all about it, why don't you decide to investigate the old case?"

Prince Jing said without hesitation: "We need to investigate!"

Mei Changsu looked at him deeply, and bowed his sleeves, "Since this is the case, Su will do his best to find out the truth for Your Highness!"

Prince Jing also returned a big gift to him, "Thank you sir!"

Suddenly, the bell of the palace city rang in the distance, awakening countless birds and night people.Both Mei Changsu and Prince Jing changed their faces. The golden bell in the palace rang 27 times, which was the sound of a great funeral. The Empress Dowager had passed away for many years, that is to say...

Prince Jing turned around hastily, before he even had time to say goodbye, "It's Grandma! It's Grandma who left!"

Mei Changsu's heart suddenly felt cold, Li Gang and Zhenping supported him numbly, but felt that the suzerain's palm was as cold as ice.From Xie Yu telling the truth back then, to the long and painful memories after returning to the Su residence, to helping Prince Jing tonight, and the death knell suddenly ringing... This series of blows finally crushed Mei Changsu's strong nerves, his eyes went dark, Blood spurted out of the throat immediately!

In a blur, he seemed to see the kind and kind grandma beckoning to him, calling softly: "Xiaoshu, come, come to grandma."
