Chapter 505: Degree

The eunuch of the Sili Principal Haitao passed the imperial edict and led the Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan to the palace.

The spacious brick floors are very dry between the majestic halls of the imperial city.It has been cloudy recently, and it has not rained for many days; Haitao couldn't help but remember that it was raining more than half a month ago when Zheng He died.

Xue Yan has a tall figure, a straight facial features, and a good leather face. Xue Yan has served as an envoy in the Jianwen Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, so of course the people who go on missions have to choose their appearance.

Xue Yan is also very talented in criminal law, at least has rich experience, and has done this since the Hongwu Dynasty and has been loyal to the three emperors.

It is precisely because of this that Haitao's heart is up and down.

Yang Qing on the list of rebellions was not only promoted by Haitao to the Silijian, but also Haitao did collect money more than once!

Haitao also asked Yang Qing where his money came from. Yang Qing only said that when the Yongle Dynasty confiscated those criminals, he had accomplices involved. At that time, Haitao did not ask the bottom line and collected the money.

If Xue Yan kept investigating carefully, could Yang Qing’s affairs be hidden?

Haitao thought about saying hello to Yang Qing, and promised that as long as he didn't offer him, he would find a way to help Yang Qing.And this Xue Yan also needs to say something to accomplish.

As he walked, Haitao coughed gently. When he spoke, he felt his voice trembling. That... Lord Xue, you have to be a little sensible in this matter.

What does Eunuch Hai mean?Xue Yan asked hurriedly.

Haitao looked around and said in a deep voice: The emperor only summoned Lord Xue, but the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate are not listed here. So, you have to grasp this matter well.

Xue Yan nodded thoughtfully.

The two of them walked all the way to the East Warehouse of Ganqing Palace, and seemed a little silent, as if they were thinking about their own affairs.

Haitao walked from Donghunting Pavilion to Dali Temple outside Chengtian Gate. He had to walk for a while, and then took Xue Yan back to the palace, which took a long time.

However, when Haitao returned to the East Nuan Pavilion, he found that Jinyiwei Tan Qing was still inside. Haitao didn't know what the emperor and Tan Qing were talking about.

After the ceremony, Haitao, as the emperor's order, said roughly the confession of Wang Yu of the general flag.

At this time, Xue Yan suddenly bowed: I ask the emperor to tell you, how should I investigate this matter?

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, but seemed to quickly understand what Xue Yan meant. He said calmly: I must find out whether Gao Sui had rebelled or not. I told me first, but I can't reveal it!

Zhu Gaochi paused and said, "I feel that Gao Sui has not rebelled."When this opportunity of the Huguang war is to stabilize Peiping and not distract the court.If too many people in the court are involved, you should be extra cautious for the time being.At this time, the court could not withstand the storm.

Xue Yan bowed deeply and said: I would like to temporarily dismiss all the people involved in the confession and keep them at home.The Jinyiwei should not arrest him and be imprisoned.

allow.Zhu Gaochi said that Tan Qing and Haitao asked Xue Siqing to assist Xue Siqing in doing things, and all matters were still presided over by Xue Siqing.

The three of them worship together: I (slave) and others obey the order!

Xue Yan obviously didn’t really understand what Haitao meant!Within two days, Xue Yan took the Jinyiwei and some eunuchs to search Yang Qing's residence and found a sign-in document from it.

There is a line of words written on the lexicon: One hundred taels of gold verification.Yang Qing's name was also signed.

Xue Yan confirmed that the name he signed was indeed written by Yang Qing in less than a stick of incense!

Although Yang Qing did not use the other six words to whom, Xue Yan used inferences and assumptions to be Huang Yan; then he quickly found Huang Yan's previous handwriting in the old file transported from Peking.

Through the inspection by the prosecutor and judge of Dali Temple, the evidence was confirmed to be Huang Yan’s handwriting with certainty!

The others involved were still at home, and Yang Qing became an exception and was immediately arrested in the Northern Fushishi Prison.

But for Haitao, things were not the worst at this point... Then, somehow, Xue Yan actually stared at Zheng He's death; he stopped the eunuchs such as Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian and added to the interrogation list.

Haitao suddenly felt that there were more and more yellow mud in his pants!At this point, he felt a little overwhelmed.

This is like a day when the sky falls!Haitao dragged his tired body back to Silijian and sat in his room, feeling that his hands and feet were out of control. He was there in a row.

Xue Yan was killed by heaven... Haitao gritted his teeth and quietly murmured to himself.

He cursed silently in his heart: This traitor who betrayed Emperor Jianwen and wanted to surrender to the King of Han!

When the King of Han rebelled, he immediately acted as if he had broken off his kindness with the King of Han. In the future, the new and old accounts must be settled together!

Our family is just waiting to see what Xue Yan will happen.

When Zheng He died, Haitao did not expect that the subsequent things would become so serious and complicated.He actually sent something for Zheng He and met Wang Jinghong privately, and even Wang Jinghong was implicated at this time.

As a result, Yang Qing and Wang Jinghong, who are already involved, are inseparable from Haitao.

Now Haitao regrets it, it’s too late!

Haitao could only carefully recall the rainy day more than half a month ago.He thought about it many times, mainly recalling the details...

At that time, Haitao met Zheng He, and the soldiers of the Jinyiwei and the little eunuch seemed to be outside the door?Maybe he didn't enter the house?

But Zheng He's door must be open, Haitao remembers this very clearly!And the people from the Jinyiwei were outside the door, could they hear what was inside or what Zheng He had entrusted?

Haitao could not confirm.He planned to find an eunuch to talk to the house tomorrow and stand at the door to try it.

By the way, rain!It was raining that day, and the sound of rain interfered.When Haitao thought of this, he immediately felt a little more lucky in his heart!

Later, Haitao went to meet Wang Jinghong again, and the place where he met was in the hall.The little eunuch who followed Haitao knew about this. Haitao was going to warn the eunuch as soon as possible and strictly forbid him to say this!

But will Wang Jinghong ask for the meeting?

...A shop on Jade Street on the south bank of Qinhuai River was closed for a long time, but it suddenly opened today.

Gao Xianning, a attendant of the Hanlin Academy, came back from drinking at Zuixianlou and found out the movement. He guessed that before the Battle of Huguang, the King of Han sent someone to Beijing if something important was happening; he hurriedly took the risk and walked upstairs.

Gao Xianning is a person who values ​​gentlemen and openness, but now he is really open-minded.

He found that the person inside was wearing a big hat, and the black hat was pressed down very low to cover his face.

Gao Xianning suddenly felt nervous and suddenly realized that it might be a trap!

At this moment, the man on the counter raised his head.

Seeing this, Gao Xianning let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that the man was Yang Yong from the Jinyiwei.

Gao Xianning then felt that his legs were a little weak, and he was indeed scared just now.

He thought to himself: Why bother to come?

Perhaps only when the Han King wins completely can he truly get rid of the fear of being nervous and being discovered one day.

Mr. Gao, please in the study.Yang Yong said calmly.

The two of them closed the shop door first, and then walked into the study room inside.There were some cheap ceramic bottles in the study, and the tables and chairs were covered with dust.

Yang Yong said straight away: Mr. Gao knows about King Zhao’s rebellion?

A little heard.Gao Xianning said.

Yang Yong seemed a little urgent: I thought about it for a few days and always felt that we could make contributions through this matter!But I read less and couldn't quite understand some things and had no idea how to start. So I took the risk of coming here after the hour of the Youth every day, wanting to discuss with Mr. Gao.

Gao Xianning nodded silently and looked at the short Yang Yong.

I remember Yang Yong mentioned Wei Qing twice.

Yang Yong was indeed a person who had never read many books and had talked with Gao Xianning less often. He talked about Wei Qing twice... Therefore, Gao Xianning speculated that Yang Yong took Wei Qing as an example and wanted to make contributions and be named a marquis and a minister.

What do you know? Gao Xianning asked.

Now, as the confidant of Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yang Yong knew a lot of inside information and immediately told the recent case.

Gao Xianning nodded from time to time, and after listening carefully, he said: Xue Yan checked Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian, because he suspected that they were the masterminds and framed King Zhao for rebellion!This case was all caused by Zheng He's death.

Ah?Yang Yong looked confused.

Gao Xianning glanced at him, Zheng He and several eunuchs were together at the palace of the Yàn in Peking?When they were voyage to the West, they also spent a long time on the same boat.Therefore, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian are easily inferred as fellow parties.

General Yang also said just now that Huang Yan and Zheng He had a gap; and Yang Qing was found to be Huang Yan's accomplice, Yang Qing was from the Silijian and could easily meet the emperor and the empress.Therefore, it can be inferred that Zheng He's death may be related to Yang Qing... Who would most like to see the rebellion of King Zhao?

Yang Yong rubbed his temples hard and said in confusion: Mr. Gao means, Zheng He’s accomplices are avenging him?

Gao Xianning nodded and said: It’s just that there is a possibility. Such a big event involves many lives, and there must be some motivation to happen.

Yang Yongmin thought for a while and asked: I have something unknown... The document found from Yang Qing’s residence is certainly not fake; so Yang Qing must have colluded with Huang Yan!How did Wang Jinghong and others know about them?

It has only been more than half a month since the incident happened. Wang Yu was far away in Peking. Why was he bought by eunuchs such as Wang Jinghong?

I don't know.Gao Xianning shook his head and said, "But it will definitely stand the inference so that Xue Yan will stare at them."

Gao Xianning pondered for a while and said, "For example, inference: the relationship between Yang Qing and Huang Yan has been known by Wang Jinghong and others."Wang Yu himself was a spy, and his purpose was to monitor King Zhao during the Yongle Dynasty; in the Yongle Dynasty, Zheng He and Wang Jinghong were not in their current status, they were the confidants of Emperor Yongle!

Yang Yong nodded hesitantly.

Gao Xianning said: It is very common for King Zhao to have someone who was trapped by the emperor’s confidant. King Zhao is a vassal king after all. When someone says something about King Zhao on the surface, the emperor can verify the authenticity through multiple messages. Of course, King Zhao may have really rebelled, who can make it clear?

He thought for a while and then said in a deep voice: However, Zheng He's death is probably not that simple.There are many involvements behind it!
