Yang Family Qingtian

"Dang~dang~~", the melodious bell sound came from the Manjushri Temple.

"Bang! Bang!" The sharp gunshots rang out in the backyard of the imperial envoy's headquarters.

Since being captured in Zhaojue Temple, muskets have played a big role. Yang Ling suddenly realized that if he wants to defend himself, he has to rely on this weapon. He has missed the best period of martial arts and cannot practice martial arts every day. Although he practices the best internal skills that many martial artists dream of, it is okay to deal with the little kids in his family. It is always a big difference to deal with real masters who can break into his guard group. It is better to take shortcuts honestly. So now, in addition to practicing internal skills at night and external skills in the morning, he also has to practice marksmanship every day.

"Turn twenty steps away!" Yang Ling shouted to the distance while wiping the muzzle skillfully, filling in gunpowder quickly and putting on bullets.

The guards raised the bench a little further away and placed small wine jars on the stool. Yang Ling pulled out his thumb, raised his arm, and aimed at another jar. The big stick came quickly. Seeing that he was aiming, he hurriedly stood aside.

"Bang!" A gunshot splashed everywhere, and the small jar was shot to pieces.

"Okay! Good shooting skills! Grand Marshal, Prince Jingqing is going to see you and is waiting in the study!" Dabanchui was straightforward. Although he saw that others had flattered him too much, he knew that he should praise him at this time, but he was obviously a little perfunctory, so he immediately turned to the main business.

"Oh? Prince Jingqing?" Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment and said, "I'll serve you tea and serve you very much, I'll be here soon."

Yang Ling murmured in his heart: "What are the Prince of Jingqing coming to me for? Could it be... I followed the Jinyiwei to visit the Second Prince last night, and he discovered that he was demonstrating to me? It is impossible. No one in the prison of the Criminal Prison recognizes me, and the Jinyiwei and the Second Prince will never tell me, go see him before talking."

Yang Ling went to see Zhu Rangjin last night. First, he was to do his best to be friends, and second, since he wanted to save him, he had to meet the person involved and learn more about the situation. However, although Zhu Rangjin was wronged, the useful information he could tell was really limited, and the situation he learned from him was not enough to relieve him of his crime.

Since he was a murder due to an intimate relationship, he would investigate the crime scene. He would learn about her relatives about her usual actions and contacts with the victims. Unfortunately, it was inconvenient to participate in public as a person, so he had to instruct Liu Biao to investigate and investigate all the situations of Zhu Rangjin and Zhu Mengli, hoping to find evidence that was beneficial to him. The only role of his imperial envoy can only ensure that there is no effective evidence and prevent others from randomly judging the case.

The prince is also a king. He has a high status. In addition to promulgating the imperial edict and introducing himself, he cannot speak directly to the common people according to the rules. He must pass messages through the servants around him, even if two people stand face to face. This is the rule of the royal family. Yang Ling is not only an official, but also a high-ranking official, so naturally he is not the case. However, when he saw the prince, he could not wear this martial arts uniform. He hurried back to the room and quickly changed his official robe, and then rushed to the study to see the king's carriage.

Prince Jingqing was tall and fat, with big ears, thick eyebrows and heavy eyes, and a typical appearance of the Zhu family. He sat on a chair, without moving tea, and was in a daze. Yang Ling hurriedly walked in.

Now it is not a public visit, so Yang Ling is not allowed to be an imperial envoy. He hurriedly bowed with the courtesy of the officials: "Sir Yang Ling, I have met His Highness, Prince Jingqing!"

"Oh?" Prince Jingqing came to his senses and actually stood up to greet him, smiling and said, "Ah! Lord Yang, please get up quickly. I took the opportunity to come to the door early in the morning to disturb, disturb, and disturb."

"Where is it? The prince comes to the door. It's the Pengshe Shenghui. When the servant woke up in the morning, he heard the magpies screaming. The nuclear trick... Cough cough, I don't know if the prince is here. Is there anything important?"

Yang Ling said halfway through the flattery, and felt a little disgusting. He quickly changed his mind and got to the point.

The two of them sat down with the guest and the prince of Jingqing held his knees and said in a deep thought: "Mr. Yang, at the banquet of King Shu yesterday, the little girl was killed by a villain. I felt heartbroken... I have no son and only two daughters. The eldest daughter has married a man long ago, and there is only one child under my knees. Now the white-haired man is sent to the black-haired man. That pain... I really don't want to go out to see anyone in the past two days."

Yang Ling also sighed and said, "The prince was mourning. It was because the second lady was a traitor. Considering that the prince was in sorrow at the moment, the subordinates did not dare to come to visit him. The prince's daughter was openly killed in the palace. This fact is of great importance. The subordinates believe that the local government will enforce the law impartially, find out the real murderer, and punish the second lady severely, so that she can rest in peace even if she is in the dark!"

"Ha! Enforce the law impartially?" The Prince of Jingqing laughed strangely and said in a stern voice: "It's a high-ranking official to kill people. If he is an ordinary murderer, he should be killed at this moment, but the suspect is the son of the Prince of Shu. Maybe the suspect will continue to be disgusted."

A prince and a prince are all older than him. The old Zhu family has many trash things. There are princes who have eaten and incest princes. Who dares to talk too much? Yang Ling is not easy to interrupt, so he has to listen silently.

After the Prince of Jingqing said coldly, he glanced at Yang Ling, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Yang is the first-class person in the dynasty, and the reputation of the Majestic Marquis spread all over the world. A few days ago, in order to unify the government orders, he quelled the rebellion of the Duzhan Barbarians. The dignified King of Shu was also under house arrest by you. This courage to not fear power really made me admire him."

Yang Ling's eyebrows jumped, and he intuitively moved the Prince of Jingqing so flattered. It must not be a good thing. If you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. Can a prince ask for someone else be a trivial matter?

Sure enough, I heard from the Prince Jingqing say: "Mr. Yang is the emperor's important official. I will not hide it from you. My little girl... After being offended by the autopsy, she is already... pregnant..."

"What?" Yang Ling had already learned about the incident from Zhu Rangjin yesterday, but he still had to be shocked and said in surprise: "This...is something like this?"

The Prince of Jingqing blushed and said embarrassedly: "It's a misfortune to the family! Such a thing happened. I... was also surprised that Zhu Rangjin and my Wang family were relatives, both cousins ​​and cousins. He and Meng Li have always been close, so what kind of hatred can they have? ".

He slapped his thighs heavily and said, "The Ming Dynasty royal family is shamed!"

He originally insisted that Zhu Rangjin Ming punish the king of justice and pay his life for his beloved daughter, but when he went to question the King of Shu in a fierce manner, he heard such a scandal, and his daughter was not good at it. He did such a scandal and his arrogance disappeared. For the sake of his reputation, he discussed with the King of Shu and decided that Zhu Rangjin would commit suicide. This matter quietly covered up his mind.

Unexpectedly, the daughter of Xiao Jinchuan toast, Tuobayudi came to the door in the middle of the night and told him directly that she had already known about Zhu Mengli's pregnancy. But she didn't believe that Zhu Rangjin did it and asked him to make less wrong ideas. She would stare at the case until the truth was revealed to the world. If he and the King of Shu dared to sacrifice Zhu Rangjin to cover up their shame, she would make this matter public and let everyone in the world know it.

The Prince of Jingqing was stunned at this moment. Although he was the prince, he really couldn't afford to offend Tuoba Yanran. There were fifteen chieftains in Shu. The boundaries between each other were never so clear. Chieftains from all over the country often had armed fighting and revenge killings for the division of boundaries.

Jinchuan is close to Chengdu and Weizang, which is the throat of the mainland leading to Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and other places. In addition, most of the areas are Tibetans, and they communicate with Tibetans outside the region, so the power is the land among the fifteen chieftains. It can be said that Tuobayu stomps his feet. The King of Shu will be nervous for a long time. His county prince with wealth but no power, his territory is under Tuobayu's nose. To a large extent, he has to rely on the breath of this local emperor. How dare he use power to seal other people's mouths?

The Prince of Jingqing could not sleep at this time, so he hurriedly entered the palace to meet the King of Shu and discussed the matter with him. Naturally, the fewer people knew about this royal scandal, the better. And the lower-level people were the less suitable for them to know. The officials in Shu were all under the rule of the King of Shu. If these subordinates were asked to deal with the royal family affairs, they would only know more and more officials. Where would these princes put their faces?

Furthermore, the Prince of Jingqing still had a selfish heart and was not so righteous now. If officials took advantage of the situation and found some excuses to waive Zhu Rangjin's crime, wouldn't his daughter die in vain? The candidate for the local officials to investigate the case will become a big problem.

The two of them had their own intentions and studied them over and over again, and they couldn't help but think of Yang Ling. He had a transcendent position and was not afraid of his fear of the King of Shu. Moreover, he was an official in the capital. Once he left afterwards, he would not have the embarrassment of meeting often. Besides, he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he must also know the degree. The inner factory officials were very nervous, and they knew the private affairs of the princes and ministers too much, and they would never reveal them casually.

So the two hit it off and decided to ask the envoy Yang Qin to come forward to verify the case. The two had already determined in their hearts that Zhu Rangjin was the murderer. The so-called investigation of the case was just a formality and obtaining confessions. This matter was settled as soon as possible.

The Prince of Jingqing came to see Yang Ling early in the morning, just to ask for some support. The case fell into the hands of the inner factory, but it turned over and turned the hands into rain. Yang Ling could not take the opportunity to sell the King of Shu for a moment, and intentionally escaped Zhu Rangjin.

The Prince of Jingqing said the two princes join forces to ask Yang Ling to come forward to investigate the case, and then praised and secretly promised the benefits. Finally, he said with a threat: "Mr. Yang, this case happened in public. Everyone knows that my daughter was killed. It is impossible to think it is good. This is a major case between the royal family and the clans of the Ming Dynasty. After thinking about it, only Lord Yang can truly make a final decision. The news will not spread to the market. Please ask Lord Yang for this matter."

He snorted heavily and said with a double word: "Although I am not as good as the King of Shu, I am also a prince with the name of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty. Lord Yang does not need to worry about this matter, just feel at ease. If someone wants to use his power for personal gain and interfere with the Lord's case, I will go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. Even if he is a dignified King of Shu, I will tell him to take advantage of it!"

Yang Ling glanced at him and thought to himself, "What he said is really like, don't you just tell me the words? If I dare to help King Shu, you will go to Beijing to sue my imperial lawsuit to the head of your Zhu family. However... this is a good opportunity. I can intervene in this case with righteousness, investigate him and help Zhu Rangjin clear his crime. You must not miss it."

Thinking of this, Yang Ling stood up and said solemnly to the Prince Jingqing: "Don't worry, prince. How can the officials refuse to entrust the two princes with such a entrusted? Besides, the matter involves the dignity of the royal family. The officials are in charge of the inner factory, and it is not over the rules to intervene. The officials must investigate the case clearly and submit the real evidence to the two princes in front of each other!"

The Prince of Jingqing nodded and said sternly: "If this case cannot be done, I will not leave Chengdu half a step! My daughter is insulting her family. Even if she deserves to die, I must be here to enforce the family law. The death is so unclear, and I can't swallow this! Please give me goodbye to Lord Yang for this matter."

"Your Highness, Prince, walk slowly!" Yang Ling sent out the gate and bowed to show his respects. The eight-carrying sedan chair of the Prince of Jingqing left.

Since I lived in the imperial envoy here, half of the street was painted for the forbidden area, but because there were many people in the temple to burn incense, there were no streets in front of the palace, and Yangling could not be too much. So after Wu Hanchao arranged a lot of guards, half of the street opposite was still allowed to pass.

At this moment, a sedan chair was walking across the street, with four servants following the sedan chair in front and behind. It seemed that the daughter of a wealthy family had returned from incense. As soon as the Prince of Jingqing's sedan chair was gone, the sedan chair turned and rushed to the gate.

Eight guards immediately greeted him. The steel knife was half unsheathed and shouted loudly: "This is the imperial envoy's headquarters, go back!"

Wu Hanchao, Liu Dabangchui and others quickly surrounded Yang Ling. Liu Dabangchui was tall, like a giant bear, standing in front of Yang Ling, blocking him tightly. Yang Ling tilted his head and wanted to see the situation outside, but he couldn't see it.

The sedan chair stopped. A servant in front lit up his sleeves, raised a tooth sign, and said loudly: "Your Highness the Princess wants to see Lord Yang, please come forward and answer."

The guards checked the sign and it was indeed a token of the Shu Palace. They couldn't help but turn back and say, "Sir..."

Yang Ling also heard their conversation. He pushed Liu Dabangchui aside and looked forward. The curtain of the sedan chair suddenly lifted up. A small face popped out from inside, and his almond eyes were wide open. He seemed to be about to curse, but when he saw him, he shrank back and brushed the floor, and the curtain of the sedan chair was also pulled down.

As soon as she went in, Yang Ling saw her appearance clearly. It was indeed the little princess Zhu Xianger. He hurriedly said, "Please ask the princess to enter the courtyard, hurry up and hurry up."

The sedan chair entered the courtyard, and Yang Ling bowed again: "Sir Yang Ling, I have met His Highness the Princess."

The little princess jumped out of the sedan chair and said with a pretty face: "Where is your study room?"

"Princess, please come with me." Yang Ling made a gesture of invitation and couldn't help but aim at the little princess' boots.

Zhu Xianger blushed, stretched out her hand to pull her skirt, covered her exposed feet, and then plucked his eyes hatefully.

Yang Ling quickly turned around and led the way. Zhu Xianger didn't speak along the way. The two entered the study. Yang Ling whispered: "Come here, come..."

"No need! I'll leave after I say it!" Zhu Xiang'er interrupted and saw that there were still teacups on one table and sat on the other chair without removing.

Yang Ling walked to her, sat down gently, and said, "There was a gangster who just committed the crime two days ago. Why did the princess dare to go out to the streets with such a few people? It's too unsafe."

Zhu Xianger glared at him and said angrily: "Isn't it your big broom still the trouble? I took a little maid to the street and never had anything to do, hum!"

Yang Ling laughed dryly and said, "The princess should avoid me. I wonder what happened to you when you are here today?"

Zhu Xianger frowned and said distressedly: "I really want to avoid you, I'll listen..." She suddenly pulled two skirts and covered her feet again. Yang Ling couldn't help but look at the other place.

He didn't mean to see the girl's feet, but a couple bit each other's boots. Several people have encountered such a thing, let alone a cute little girl. When he sat there, his eyes unconsciously slipped towards Zhu Xianger's feet.

Zhu Xianger covered her feet with a blushing face, and her thin and tender lips pursed, as if she was a little angry. But although she was young, she knew that the girl's feet were not suitable for being touched, let alone in such a shameful way. When she thought about this, she was so angry that she naturally didn't want to mention it again.

Today she was wearing a goose yellow fragrant robe, a short shirt with a narrow sleeve, a pair of goose yellow robe, a goose yellow robe skirt, and a pair of pink embroidered boots under her feet. The goose yellow is originally a tender face. Her thin lips are as clear as newly peeled lychees, and only slightly rosy, her whole body is delicate and clean, and the smell is so good that people can't wait to swallow it in one bite when they see it.

Yang Ling didn't dare to look at her feet again, and didn't dare to look at her. She just opened her lips and slight arcs of teeth appeared sometimes, which made Zhu Xianger even more embarrassed. But what she was going to say today was too important to her. She didn't want to make trouble, so she had to acquiesce to Yang Ling's "rudeness".

"I heard from my father that my second brother would entrust Lord Yang to investigate the case?"

"Yes, the officials just heard that the prince and the Censorate had not sent any news yet. When there was a letter from the officials, they would go to the Censorate to receive the criminals, the case files, and intervene in the investigation."

"Hmph! What did Prince Jingqing come just now?"

"This... the lower official does not seem to have to explain it to His Highness the Princess."

"You!" Zhu Xianger rushed upwards. Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly remembered that she had a request, so she suppressed her anger. She curled her mouth and said, "If you don't say it, I know too."

"Oh?" Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do the princess know?"

"I know why the Prince of Jingqing came."

"Then why did His Highness the Princess come?"

"Of course it's for my second brother's affairs," Zhu Xianger said with confidence: "My second brother cannot kill people. He and Sister Mengli have always been close to each other. How could they kill people? There is no reason at all, just because Sister Mengli is holding a jade pendant from her second brother? My second brother has too many jade pendants. There are twenty or thirty jade pendants. It's not easy to be touched by someone?"

Yang Ling spread his hands and said, "That's it? Can the servant let the second prince go with this reason?"

"cannot!"

Zhu Xianger retorted: "Then can you cure my second brother's crime with this reason?"

"cannot!"

Zhu Xianger smiled proudly, and Yang Ling said again: "But if you can't find other people as suspects, then this only evidence will become ironclad evidence. No one can save the Second Highness at that time."

"Then...what should I do?" the little princess asked pitifully.

Yang Ling said slowly: "Either find out the second murderer, or find out the evidence that the second prince is not the murderer."

Yang Ling was perfunctorily thinking, "When Zhu Mengli was pregnant, it seems that the King of Shu had blocked the news. Even the little princess didn't know. Zhu Mengli, a weak girl in the deep boudoir, could not be involved in any other incident. This case is probably just a man-woman affair, murder and silence. There will be no trace of men and women's relationship. From this, we can always find some clues. Once the news of the King of Shu arrived, I had to go and check the deceased and the suspect's residence and servants to serve. Assuming that Zhu Rangjin was not the murderer, then Zhu Rangxu and Tang Jiashan were also seriously suspected. But speaking of these three people, in terms of reputation, it is indeed the most suspicious of the second prince in other places in the name of this romantic one...

Zhu Xianger didn't believe that her second brother would kill people. When she heard that her father had handed over the case to Yang Ling for trial, she couldn't wait to come. In fact, it was just a childish temper. She came to promise him that her second brother would not be able to do such a thing. If she really wanted her to tell her, she wouldn't be able to come up with any evidence.

She saw Yang Ling distracted as she said something, and looked at her ignorant. After being suppressed for a long time, she could no longer hold back. She slapped the table and said, "What are you thinking? Let me tell you, big broom, I'm here today to tell you that my second brother is very innocent. If you examine a confused case and harm my second brother, don't think that the Prince's Mansion can support you. Our Prince's Mansion will not let you go. It's just that you have returned to Beijing, this princess..."

She raised her eyebrows and said, "No, I will be this princess at that time and will follow you to Beijing. She will be entangled with you in a lingering way, making your broom uneasy!"

When the little princess who wanted to pretend to be a lady came into the door, she finally showed her might and threatened Yang Ling for a while. Seeing that Yang Ling just listened, she did not refute, and even thought that she was scared to him, she left with satisfaction.

Yang Ling sent Xiao Shaxing away. He looked back and felt funny. He couldn't help but hum the lyrics of the "Xu Jiujing Promotion Record" that was modified by the casual words: I thought that as an imperial envoy, I would be an official in charge of the official, but who knew that I was still under the head of the high-ranking official. The county king and Shu king sued the official, and insisted that I, a small official, judge the official, were originally the officials... The prince scared me, the prince suppressed me, and I became a depressed official in the crack of the stone..."

Dabanchui curled his lips from a distance and said to a guard next to him: "Isn't it just a yellow-haired girl with a very bad temper? No matter how handsome she is, she is not as good as the three ladies, Mr. Cheng and Miss Adni. Look, she is so happy that she is singing all of them."

The people from Shu King came very quickly. The eunuch in charge of the seal and the censor Lu of the Shu King's Mansion visited him together and brought the King of Shu's decree. Yang Ling was prepared and agreed with pleasure. As soon as he agreed, he immediately ordered someone to follow Lord Lu to the Censor's Office to receive the files and evidence. He took someone with the eunuch in charge of the seal and returned to the palace to conduct on-site investigation, allowing Lu Zheng and others to appreciate the decisive style of the imperial envoy again.

"How many jade pendants are there in total?"

"Sir, there are twenty-three jade pendants. There are also some other waist decorations of other materials that are being registered and compiled, and they are compared with the booklets of the royal palace one by one. Except for the one left at the murder site, the rest of the land is everywhere." The monk next to him replied, and the table was full of jade, turtle-shaped, jade-shaped, Buddha-shaped, etc.

"I said that my second brother has many ornaments, including gifts from his father, gifts from Mrs. Liu, and the elder brother and me."

The little princess also stood in Zhu Rangjin's room and picked up a piece and said, "This is a cow bone. Sister Xiao Jinchuan Tuoba gave it to the second brother. Most of these strange ornaments were given to him by the second brother's good friends in various tribes. The second brother likes to travel around the mountains and rivers, and wherever there are beautiful scenery or historical sites, they will go and enjoy it. Because the styles of the toasts are different from the Han family, the second brother especially likes to play. He has a very good relationship with the toasts in various tribes."

She showed off proudly: "It's a pity that the second brother hates political affairs, and his father is unwilling to leave it to him. Otherwise, if he had to negotiate with Du Zhangman with his second brother's connections, he might not have had so many chaos."
To be continued...
