The first work of the imperial prison

Everyone understood what Emperor Yu'an said.

Although he was not born to the eldest princess, he was raised by the eldest princess, with deep feelings and bonds.Some people... are just not good at expressing merit, and they do far more than they say.

What the royal family looks like and how they live on a daily basis, the common people have never seen it. In the past, they only imagined it. Listening to the opera, reading the story book, and listening to Emperor Yu'an's speech today, they feel that the distance is much closer. The Tian family is just like ordinary people. Mother Kissing the children, the children adore the elders... Their mothers also love them so much.

The eldest princess loves the emperor, and ordinary people feel the same. These experiences are similar to theirs. It can be seen that all mothers in the world are like this, gentle and loving, yet majestic.

And Mrs. Ye... how much courage and choice does it take to be loyal to this point, give up money, and save everyone when danger is all around us?If you are not careful, your family will be hurt.Silver is indeed precious, it is a big loss, but no matter how great the loss is, how can it compare with human life and the future of Dazhao?

What the emperor said is right, the eldest princess, Lord Ye, and those people who have been silently hidden in the years are indeed the ones who should be remembered!

Everyone was born and grew up in the capital, peaceful and happy every day, occasionally complaining that they are not as rich as others, I don’t know when the sky will fall, and occasionally quarrel with neighbors and fight with others, but all this In the days when someone else is carrying the burden, someone is helping them carry everything.

"A monument should be erected for the eldest princess to praise her merits and virtues!"

"Master Ye should be avenged, and the world should be told that he is just like his name, a gentleman with integrity, and stands proudly in the world!"

"The crime of implicating Young Master Ye should be withdrawn, and those small bracelets should be thrown away. He should be a delicate young master from a scholarly family, and shouldn't be wearing shackles!"

Not only did the people shout that, but several officials also kowtowed on the spot and asked for an order, saying that this matter is imminent and must be done!

Ye Baiting watched this scene, and slowly exhaled.

This was the purpose of tonight. Jin Yiwei has been investigating for so long, worked hard for so long, and wanted to achieve the result. He is very satisfied, but the sentence of throwing away the small bracelet is a little bit...

The small gold bracelet that Qiu Yiqing gave him is indeed another form of shackles, but considering Qiu Yiqing's mensao character, the small gold bracelet itself has a unique craftsmanship, this small gold bracelet represents a promise of love As a keepsake, throwing it must not be thrown away.

But others don't know and can't blame them.

Ye Baiting glanced at the small gold bracelet on his wrist with lowered eyes, and raised his hand slightly to press it: "Everyone, please be safe, and today the commander took Ye and Shen Qianhu to delay everyone's time at night, just to clarify the facts of the case and come up with Evidence supports the truth, let the truth be revealed to the world, you are all witnesses, now the matter of the eldest princess, the case of my father Ye Junang, everyone has already understood, if you have any doubts, you can go to Shen Qianhu before the case and look at the detailed evidence , but don’t forget, there is another thing to gather here tonight—”

Everyone was silent for a moment, that's right, there is also the third prince!

By now, everyone understands, what kind of third prince is he, he is playing the title of prince, of course he is not the son of Emperor Yu'an, and his age is not right, he is playing in the name of the first emperor, it looks like that, but in the end Who gave birth to it is still unknown!

To set up such a big game, to do all kinds of business, to stir up wind and rain secretly, to make Dazhao uneasy, where did he come from, and whose power is he relying on!

Shen Jiang watched all this happen, and now, he also understood why the commander and the young master were not in a hurry before, and there were more and more slanderous words about the eldest princess, but they did nothing, because there was no necessary.

As long as Jin Yiwei finds enough evidence and the real facts come out and become known to the world, it is the best slap in the face. Everyone present, including officials and common people, will remember this incident deeply, and will be grateful to the eldest princess and Lord Ye. How can such a good person be slandered like that by others?

Including the instigator, the third prince, such a treacherous and cunning person, who will bring disaster to the country and the people, must not be let go...

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The aspiration of the people is the cohesion of prosperity in a prosperous age!

Looking again, the young master turned his direction, as if he was about to meet Imperial Concubine You!

Shen Jiang was very excited.Although in the past year, he has solved many cases with the commander and the young master, and recently he has obtained the palace card, can enter and leave the palace at will, and he has developed his courage, but if he is not fully prepared, he still dare not face these things directly The woman that Gongdou has experienced for many years always feels that he can't compare to him in terms of aura or heart, and she has a weak energy. At this time, the young master still has to go!

Looking at the young master's face, not only is he not guilty at all, but he is also imposing, and his eyes are not afraid. He is indeed the young master of our Beizhen Fusi!

As he watched, his eyes turned, thinking about the things that might be mentioned next... He bent over and searched again from one side of the box, and took out a pile of file evidence, where the young master pointed out, he had to find the truth one by one. Get ready, Jin Yiwei hurry up, you have already done enough work, you are not afraid of anyone watching, and you are not afraid of anyone questioning you, you can't stretch your hips in terms of speed!

Ye Baiting looked at Concubine You Taigui, very politely: "Major Concubine Taigui, may you explain my doubts for me now?"

Concubine You Taigui sighed: "What's wrong with you Jinyiwei tonight, why do you have to ask me about everything? No matter who the third prince is, whether it is good or bad, whether he has a relationship with the emperor or an enemy, what is the matter with this palace?" The matter? This palace is just a woman in the deep palace. After the late emperor left, there is no place for her to stay except Changle Palace. What do you know and control?"

Ye Baiting was not in a hurry, and his voice was unhurried: "This person claims to be the third prince. He is a child left behind by the late emperor. He was born 24 years ago. Jin Yiwei traced all the facts and evidence. He first appeared in the south of the Yangtze River... at this time , this place, the Grand Concubine doesn't think it's familiar?"

"Familiar? Could it be that this person is related to me?"

"That year, the imperial concubine seemed to be pregnant. She went to the south of the Yangtze River with the late emperor. She had a miscarriage in the Jiangnan palace and lost her flesh and blood."

Ye Baiting's words made the scene quiet again.

Everyone reacts differently. Some people know it well, they knew this day would come, they prepared in advance, and they didn’t panic at all when the secret was exposed.

Is there really a prince?

The officials began to think and be wary of the people around them, whether there were opposing forces in the crowd, how to choose next, and what kind of attitude to support the emperor was the best.

The common people were even more shocked. It turned out that this 'demon concubine' had given birth to a child?It’s not a miscarriage, don’t talk nonsense, they read too much of the theater outside and the storytelling in the teahouse, maybe it’s the civet cat for the prince, the prince for the civet cat, just secretly messing around for the so-called The 'big plan'!

What a thrill tonight!

Imperial Concubine You still looked calm: "I don't know what you are implying. When a mother loses a child, the most uncomfortable and painful thing is not Bengong herself? That child has no mother-child relationship with Bengong, so I left early, Bengong Because of this accident, I can no longer conceive and have children. If there was really a healthy child, how could I resist looking for it? Jin Yiwei investigates cases, is this the only skill? The direction of suspicion is so ridiculous, your commander just now Tell the emperor to tell the truth about the murder case in front of everyone tonight, but after so long, they are talking about the past, people from the past, why didn't they mention the deceased Xing Mingda, Mrs. Han Ninghou gave birth to Danse, the female officer Yin Mengqiu, what's the use of mentioning the Third Prince all the time?"

"Of course because, this is the root of everything."

Ye Baiting said: "The three princes grew into today's sulky temperament, and it was not a day's work. They sold black incense, manipulated the imperial examinations, bought and sold official ranks, and the commercial firms, flower boats, and naval forces under his hands colluded with Oala. Jin Yiwei has evidence for all kinds of bad deeds, but even though he is a bit smart and bold, he dared to plot against the emperor and commanders at the age of 11, but with so many forces, can he be able to build them alone? There is an official in the court Is it okay to have a heart?"

Everyone thought about it and shook their heads again and again, that must be impossible.Power overwhelms people, and sometimes wealth is not able to take a step forward, and even becomes fat in the eyes of others. If there is no backer at the top of power and no one to protect, it is impossible to go unnoticed to today!

Who is collaborating with him?Which...mother?

This kind of wolf ambition, such people who treat the people like nothing, must be stopped. If they really succeeded, then the prosperity and prosperity of Dazhao today... may never be seen!

"The root of all of this must start before the 24th. I'm afraid I don't even understand the life experience of the third prince. Today, I, the Fusi of Beizhen Chengsheng, follow the command and lead, and give everyone an answer! "

Seeing Qiu Yiqing nod, Ye Baiting glanced across the scene, and continued to raise his voice: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, and let me reason. There are three homicides in the palace this time. Mingda, secondly, Mrs. Han Ninghou's wife Shan, and thirdly, female official Yin Mengqiu. These three people seem to have nothing to do with each other, and their daily lives seldom intersect, but this is not the case. These people have been in the Jiangnan Palace for 24 years, and They have very close contacts, and they have all faced and experienced the incident of Concubine You's 'miscarriage' back then."

Not to mention the officials below, the common people felt very suspicious. Three people died all at once, all of which were related to the events of the year, that is, knowing the life experience of the third prince?Was it silenced?

"Aware of this relationship, the commander felt that something was wrong. He led Jin Yiwei to investigate deeply and found more things that were wrong. For example, before the first emperor brought people from the harem to Jiangnan, Concubine You Taigui was rumored to be pregnant. 'Been alarmed', 'framed', many palace people were given to death, including the late emperor's concubines; in the south of the Yangtze River, Concubine You gave birth to a miscarriage, and the incident was very serious. Most of the people who served that day were given to death by the late emperor, Including the ladies of the palace and the wives of the officials present; since the Jiangnan Palace returned to Beijing, there was another batch of large-scale purges in the palace. The first emperor punished the temple and banned him from leaving the temple forever."

He speaks word for word, very slowly, and everyone can follow his thoughts and expand their thinking.Serving the nobles in the palace requires careful attention, if you don't do it well, you will be punished easily, but this batch of dead people is not common anywhere... Is there something wrong with Concubine You's birth?Not only is there a problem, but I am also afraid that others will know!

Ye Baiting: "During the investigation, we discovered a court lady named Lan Lu. She was the court lady who served Concubine You 24 years ago. It is said that Concubine You's miscarriage in Jiangnan Palace was directly caused by her. —Is anyone familiar with this name?"

"I... the officer will remember!"

In the crowd, someone raised his hand: "Xiaguan was just a fledgling at the beginning of the year, and he was still a newcomer in the officialdom. He was very cautious about things around him, and he never forgot to watch him carefully. He was an official in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was fortunate enough to handle several affairs in the palace. I have seen this court lady several times, and I have heard many people ask the same question... She has a bulging belly, which seems to be pregnant, but not only does she not hide it, she knows that others are talking about it, and she is arrogant and sarcastic, and she is not afraid at all. The incident was so serious that Xiaguan thought it was strange at the time, but after she was bestowed to death by the late Emperor, Xiaguan gradually forgot about it..."

Everyone was stunned, isn't the pregnant concubine You Taigui, how did she become a court lady?Could it be... is it really a civet cat for the prince?

Ye Baiting said: "This lord is right, and the facts found by Jin Yiwei are also the same. They interviewed everyone back then, and they all said that the court lady Lan Lu was suspected of being pregnant, but she was. Everyone who has seen Lan Lu swears by it—so we went to the Lan family's ancestral grave and examined Lan Lu's bones."

"In her coffin, there was indeed a baby's skeleton, but Lan Lu herself never gave birth."

No, never gave birth?Then why is there an extra child in the coffin?Whose child is this?I have never given birth, why is my belly bulging, and almost everyone sees it?

No, Lan Lu is a court lady, and she was bestowed to death by the late emperor before she was married. This is not a good reputation. Jin Yiwei went to the Lan family's ancestral grave to check... Did the Lan family bury their daughter in their own ancestral grave?What are they thinking, are they not afraid of being taboo by the nobles in the palace?

Everyone's reaction was exactly the same as Shen Jiang's at the beginning, because this was against the rules and common sense, it was not a child born by oneself, and it was impossible to bury it with another woman casually, this matter was full of strangeness everywhere!

"I... the officer seems to know..."

It was the same person who raised his hand just now, facing the eyes of everyone, he said again: "The Lan family doesn't seem to be implicated by Lan Lu's death. Lan Lu was killed on the spot by the late emperor, and no one was allowed to bury her body. Let go, somehow, the Lan family was not implicated, but in the next few years, they slowly gained momentum and became promising, so they invited their daughter's remains to be buried in the family..."

Shen Jiang snorted and said, "Why do you think so? Naturally, in the eyes of some people, this court lady is not only innocent, but also meritorious!"

After thinking about this matter, another official reacted: "Could it be that in the past... Concubine You's 'pregnancy' was not easy. She needed a shield, so she pushed out the palace maid Lan Lu to make others think that she was pregnant. Li Daitao is going to be stiff, but in fact, the maid Lan Lu is not pregnant?"

Ye Baiting nodded: "Your Excellency is wise. But this is not the whole story. Concubine You Taigui not only prepared Lan Lu, but also deliberately made a publicity in front to attract her attention, and also prepared another person to hide behind—someone specially blocked it." The gun, there are people who are specially designed to block the arrows, Concubine You is pregnant with this child, it doesn't look like she is pregnant, but it looks like she is going to fight on the battlefield."

"The imperial concubine doesn't seem to want to mention the events of that year. The command envoys and my subordinates have repeatedly inquired, but to no avail." Ye Baiting turned to the empress dowager, and bowed his hands, "Dare to ask the empress dowager to know why she was favored by the emperor. Under the protection of the late Emperor, Imperial Concubine You still acted like a frightened bird, making so many 'crisis plans', what exactly was she guarding against?"

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly: "It must be... Aijia."

The scene was silent.

"Oh?" Ye Baiting was not surprised, "Why?"

The people below all want to tell the young master to take it easy and ask why, of course it is because of Gongdou!In history books, unofficial histories, drama scripts, and story books, is there such a thing?

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Ye Baiting, and her attitude was much more sincere than Concubine You's: "It's hard for people in the palace to trust each other, especially concubines. Although the late emperor was not the mother and son of the Ai family, he still called the Ai family the queen mother, the Ai family She is not You's opponent, and she doesn't need to be wary of the Ai family. The Ai family only cares about the royal heirs. The concubine's pregnancy is a happy event. Out of the care of the elders, the Ai family should also ask questions from time to time, give some rewards, and take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Youshi felt that the Ai family wanted to harm her...women are happy and have a changeable temper, as long as the royal heirs are safe, so what if the Ai family is charged with this crime? Who knows that there is no fate with this grandson after all, and they will not be saved. "

This is quite nice to say, but it is just for the purpose of caring for the younger generation, but the younger generation will be wrong, thinking that she is going to kill, and overreact, so she has done so many things and prepared so many tricks. As an elder, she even I am willing to bear the stigma, but unfortunately there is still no good result...

It's fine to deceive ordinary people with these words, Ye Baiting doesn't believe it, if the Empress Dowager really did nothing, and Concubine You Tai Guifei is alone, it is necessary to do so terribly and kill so many people?

The two people here must be the ones who come and go, and have fought against each other.

He asked again: "Does the Empress Dowager know where the bones of Taigui Concubine Ye Xiaochan's child are? Is it in Lanlu's coffin?"

The empress dowager's expression was slightly restrained, and she sighed again: "I don't know about this family, you may have to ask the person concerned."

He had clearly said "resisting an arrow in the back" just now, the Empress Dowager couldn't understand it, it's not that she didn't understand, she just didn't want to say it.

It doesn't matter, anyway, they have already found out what the facts are.

Ye Baiting looked at Tong Shi: "Your husband, Xing Mingda, has an affair with Yin Mengqiu, a female official in the palace. Jin Yiwei has asked you to confirm this matter."

Tong didn't dare to lie: "Yes."

"This happened 24 years ago."

"Yes."

"After the first emperor returned to Beijing, Xing Mingda cut off contact with Yin Mengqiu and was transferred to be the general secretary. He occasionally met Yin Mengqiu in the palace, but that was all, and there was no more contact."

"Yes."

"That day when I visited at the door, I asked you if there was a dark knot between the two of you. You avoided answering at that time. What about tonight, but you still answered at that time?"

Before Tong could answer, the people below were dumbfounded, no, there is another child?Then it is wrong to count, Lan Lu is not pregnant, Concubine You Taigui has a miscarriage, and the child is in Lan Lu's coffin, so if this female official is also pregnant, where is the child?

"A concubine...a concubine..."

Tong's forehead was covered with sweat, and the gaze from all around was too great for her to lift her head.

Ye Baiting said: "24 years ago, Yin Mengqiu, like Lan Lu, was a court lady serving by Concubine You's side, but unlike Lan Lu, Yin Mengqiu was very low-key and rarely walked in front of people. I asked you that day, would you like Said, not to protect Yin Mengqiu, your husband's behavior has already chilled you, and you will not have any feelings for someone who has an affair with your husband, you just guessed the truth of some things, thinking that if you talk too much, you will expose yourself'Know 'Secret' facts will be involved, but so?"

"You think the past is over, and your husband is dead. It's good to just pass by in silence. Afterwards, things will be calm, and other people's affairs have nothing to do with you, Yin Mengqiu... She is going to die anyway, and hatred is a waste of effort."

Tong Shi was shocked: "You..."

How do you know everything?

Ye Baiting stepped aside and let her see Emperor Yu'an in front of her seat: "The emperor is in front of me, today the case must be revealed. Jin Yiwei does not have all the evidence, and will not block the people in the capital to ask the case. Can you Think carefully about whether you want to say it or not."

"I... I don't know what happened at that time, I just read the deceased husband's handwriting, doubt, doubt..."

"Doubt what?"

Tong Shi fell to her knees with a plop, as if she was under too much pressure and didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Yu'an said, "I forgive you for your innocence."

Mrs. Tong kowtowed, and said slowly: "I suspect that on the day Concubine You had a miscarriage, a child was lost in the palace..."

Ye Baiting: "How did you lose it, who lost it, and where did you lose it?"

"You, on the day Concubine You had a miscarriage, there was light snow in the sky. Her late husband, Xing Mingda, was listening to music in the palace to prepare for affairs as usual. It's too close, and even Imperial Concubine You fell down, causing a miscarriage..."

"Suddenly there was chaos in the palace. There was the imperial physician Wen Po who had been prepared in advance, as well as extra palace people who came out, and the guards who came back. There was a lot of commotion. Unexpectedly, something happened outside at that time, and the late emperor had to go out... I was not there at the time, so I don't know how chaotic it was, but I was called later to help with the funeral. I have seen the body of the miscarriage baby, and I don't know whether the palace maid Lan Lu is pregnant or not, but that The child, at first glance, is not full-term, very small, maybe not seven months old, but Concubine You is in Beijing, and before she arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, the good news has already spread, and I feel... a little bit wrong .”

"But when a woman gives birth, everyone's situation is different. It's just a little difference. I don't dare to speak nonsense, but after returning home that night, my husband didn't come back for a long time. When he came back at dawn, there was blood on the corner of his clothes. There is also a strong smell of blood on her body, and her expression is not very good. At that time, I was wondering if there was someone outside, and when he left home again, I read his letters and so on..."

"At that time, I didn't find anything useful. It was only after thinking about it that I realized that it was wrong. He was a foreigner and had never been in a blood room. There shouldn't be blood on his body. He probably participated in some secrets and met some people. People... Until a few days ago, when he was drunk and leaked some words, the concubine knew that he had left the Jiangnan Palace with a child in his arms, as if he wanted to hide something and protect someone, but in the end, he It didn't work out..."

"I have never personally experienced what happened back then, and everything is just speculation. The deceased husband's relics did not record too many secrets, and he probably didn't dare. Jin Yiwei!"

There was no need for anyone to give orders, Jin Yiwei, who had been on standby all the time, had already taken action, mobilized people to assemble a small team, and went to Xing's house.

Ye Baiting also knew that this was how the Third Prince was lost.

Xing Mingda was appointed by Concubine You Taigui to handle this matter!

He turned to Concubine You Taigui: "Whether the third prince was born that night, who gave birth to the third prince, should the concubine Tai Gui give everyone the answer?"

"What a joke."

After a moment of silence, Imperial Concubine You taunted: "Jin Yiwei investigates the case, not to mention the facts, but to provide evidence, but to expose the scars of the palace, and the miscarriage of the palace, it is sad to be blamed inside and out, to be blamed People framed Miscarriage, or is it my palace’s fault? Your Majesty the Son of Heaven, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don’t do anything else, so what’s the point of letting them make trouble?”

She snorted, narrowed her eyes, and slowly slid her gaze over everyone present: "I am nothing more than a woman, who can't carry it on her shoulders or lift it up with her hands. If you are in trouble, you are in trouble. What about the face of the late emperor? Why?" , the late emperor has passed away for a long time, and Jiangshan has changed people long ago, so he doesn't need to be respected, any hat can be put on his head, right?"
