Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

Xu Yiqing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took it over to take a closer look, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

The dense small characters on the letter paper are indeed father's handwriting, to the effect that they are talking about the inside story of the repair of Jing'an Hall.

Jing'an Hall is the place where refugees are accommodated in the capital. When the emperor first succeeded to the throne, the prince paid a huge amount of money to repair it once, but within half a year, the hall completely collapsed.

At that time, the rumors in the court were all saying that the prince was filling his own pocket by supervising the construction, and there was a lot of scolding from the government and the public. As a result, the prince was greatly disappointed, and the emperor also pushed the boat and abolished the prince.

Xu Yiqing knew that his father was working in the Ministry of Industry at that time, and died of illness not long after the incident.However, this letter of death records in detail the secret work of repairing Jing'an Hall at that time. It is recorded in the letter that the crown prince never embezzled a penny of silver, but instead subsidized refugees with a lot of money in private. As for why a large amount of money was lost, my father also explained in detail. The records, and the evidence...directly point to Yang An, the prime minister of the dynasty.

The father who happened to be in charge of the warehouse at that time collected the time and place where the Yang family embezzled money, including the handprints when they made the deposit at that time, on this piece of paper.

At the end of the letter, the father said that he was forced to give false testimony to frame the prince in the imperial prison. Although he survived, he was shameless in the world...

Xu Yiqing didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He vaguely remembered that his father's body became very weak after he was released from the imperial prison, but he never thought that his father didn't die of illness, but committed suicide with unspeakable thoughts in his heart.

It was his mother who kept him from telling him about the twists and turns in order to let him grow up safely.

And that secret case many years ago, along with this fatal letter, has always been dust-sealed in the drawer of his own house, and has never seen the light of day.

Xu Yiqing was shocked by the successive incidents, his hands trembled and he was speechless for a while.

One wave after another, He Zhiyang took the death letter from his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "This is an old case, let's clarify the matter about the house first, and then discuss it Not too late."

Xu Yiqing came back to his senses, and looked at He Zhiyang gratefully: "Okay, let's take the title deed."

The matter of Jing'an Hall has been settled for a long time, so there is no rush.

As soon as they arrived at the school on the second day, the two went directly to Huo Yao to discuss the matter. His father was the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and had the right to intervene in the case.

After hearing this, Huo Yao shook his head and said, "It's true that my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, but he will never interfere with the case in Jin Yiwei's hands."

This is already a tacit understanding between Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Regardless of whether it is a big case or a small case, the two parties are clearly separated, and it is impossible for the Huo family to take this muddy water.

Xu Yiqing thought for a moment, then quietly said: "How about... let's go and tell Qiao Qianhu."

The Qiao family, who happened to be in charge of Jinyiwei, after a few contacts, Xu Yiqing's impression of Qiao Yue changed somewhat.

Although in every possible way I don't want to get entangled with him, but after all, my mother's life is important.

Unexpectedly, He Zhiyang frowned immediately: "I can't trust him."

Xu Yiqing hesitated and said: "Brother Yang died that day, I heard that he was the one who went to rescue him, but just looking at this matter, he is also showing loyalty."

When Xu Yiqing mentioned this matter, He Zhiyang immediately sneered: "Loyalty? Ha, he went there to covet Zhuangzi of He's family, why is it for me?"

Although Huo Yao didn't like Qiao Yue, he clarified reluctantly at this moment: "Let me say one more thing, that Zhuangzi was clearly forced by your brother, and the Qiao family just followed suit."

He Zhiyang was startled: "My brother offered it to me!?"

Huo Yao nodded, and hummed: "Yes, your brother is just like my father, he has a clear mind and never wants to be favored by Jin Yiwei."

In all fairness, he felt that the Qiao family had stepped forward in this matter, but He Zhiji was in a hurry to draw a line, which made people uncomfortable.

As if being blown by the soft spring breeze, He Zhiyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Succeed, this favor is on my mind, let's bother him again today, at worst he will come to me to beg for it in the future."

Knowing that Qiao Yue did not act for Zhuangzi that day, He Zhiyang couldn't help being a little more kind to him.

Feng Jing nodded and said: "In the final analysis, this matter is an internal matter of Jinyiwei. It is more useful for Qiao Qianhu to intervene than to find anyone. Besides, the land deeds are all there, so we can't count on us asking him."

Just wish it were the truth.

He Zhiyang rushed to the gate of Jinyi Official School to intercept him, regardless of the dismissal of the class.

Qiao Yue came out and saw him just in time, thinking that He Zhiyang wanted to skateboard again, feeling inexplicably happy, strode a few steps to his side: "Let's go together after class today?"

He Zhiyang snorted coldly in his heart, since he fell down last time, it is impossible for him to let Qiao Yue touch his scooter again.

So as not to get dirty...

Thinking of asking someone to do something, a smile still appeared on his face: "Brother Yue, do you know that Xu Yiqing's mother was arrested and sent to jail?"

Qiao Yue's face immediately lost the look of eagerness to try, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

It's because of that surnamed Xu again...

He Zhiyang said anxiously: "You know what Aunt Xu is like? She remembers the slightest favor you have shown her, how could she do something unruly? Jin Yiwei said that her house is owned by the government and should be taken back, but That house is also inherited from their ancestors, don't you see..."

Qiao Yue narrowed his eyes and interrupted him: "Ask me to do something?"

"That's right. Isn't Brother Yue in charge of the imperial edict prison? You should talk about this matter, is it just a one-sentence matter?"

Qiao Yue stared at him for a while, then slowly said: "Where do you think the imperial prison is? If you say let him go, let him go?"

He Zhiyang heard the words, and quickly took out all the land deeds hidden in his arms: "Look, this is the Xu family's land deed, written in black and white! This is a misunderstanding."

Qiao Yue didn't even look at the title deed, he just stared at He Zhiyang and said casually: "The Imperial Prison doesn't look at this."

He Zhiyang withdrew his hand and suppressed his anger: "Oh? Then what are you looking at?"

Qiao Yue raised his lips and lowered his voice in his ear: "It depends on Master Qiao's mood."

"Why the hell do I think people like you and Li Xiao?" He Zhiyang's anger was immediately ignited. He was so anxious about the Xu family's affairs that he couldn't bear it anymore: "A matter related to Aunt Xu's life, don't you also Are you kidding me?"

Seeing that he was really in a hurry, Qiao Yue refrained from joking, but still had a slight smile on his lips, and said, "everyday in the prison is related to the lives and wealth of different people. According to what you said, I still Can't have fun?"

"And this..." He Zhiyang was not reconciled, and took out other documents: "This is Xu's father's house inheritance letter, and his house is indeed inherited from the previous generation, an ancestral house passed down from generation to generation! It's all evidence, don't you even look at it?"

Qiao Yue took the time to scan the letter, saw the words "Xu Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry", his face suddenly became serious, and he said coldly: "Where did you get this thing?

"From Xu Yiqing's house." He Zhiyang said: "These are enough to prove that the house belongs to his family. Someone in Jin Yiwei turned black and white, don't you just ask?"

Qiao Yue didn't speak, just stared at the document in silence.

He vaguely remembered the case of Jing'an Hall five years ago, which was supervised by the minister of the Ministry of Industry surnamed Xu...

All the memories that had been deliberately forgotten were awakened, and Qiao Yue's eyes flashed with an imperceptible pain.

"Now you can save Aunt Xu with just a word. The land deed documents are all there, so it's not difficult to explain the misunderstanding..."

"You are not allowed to interfere in this matter." Qiao Yue interrupted He Zhiyang bluntly, turned over and jumped on the horseback: "The Xu family will be fine, you go back!"

Qiao Yue had just returned home from the imperial prison, when he raised his eyes, his father was standing coldly under the eaves looking at him.

"I heard that you just went to the imperial prison and asked them to release you?"

With a calm face, Qiao Yue clasped his hands and said, "Yes, there was a misunderstanding in a small case. The man had all the land deed documents, and Jin Yiwei arrested the wrong person."

"A joke." The commander looked at his son and said coldly, "Jin Yiwei will arrest the wrong person?"

"It was indeed wrong this time." Qiao Yue raised his eyes and said, "I guess my father doesn't want to see the common people suffer unjustly."

The commander didn't answer, his eyes glanced at Qiao Yue coldly, and suddenly he said in a deep voice, "What benefits did the Imperial College give you? Even if you take the risk, you have to work together with them!"

Qiao Yue's heart sank, and he slowly clenched his fists and said, "Son, I don't know where the danger is, so please tell my father the truth."

"Pretend to be confused in front of me?" Commander Qiao sneered slowly: "When that kid from the He family showed you the paperwork, you didn't think of anything!"

A cold light flashed in Qiao Yue's eyes: "You sent someone to watch me?"

He knew that his father had always had a keen eye for seeing things, but he never thought that he would use that trick on himself.

Commander Qiao was noncommittal: "You understand some truths even if I don't tell you, don't force me to take action."

"This matter has nothing to do with the He family." Qiao Yue said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about the past. Now that Li Xiao is oppressing the people and turning the truth upside down, and now that he has the evidence, why not let him go? Could it be that he made more mistakes? Is Jin Yiwei planting disasters?"

"I didn't see what the Li family did wrong." Commander Qiao smiled slightly: "On the other hand, it's you who colluded with outsiders and wanted to slap your own people in the face! It's not appropriate to distinguish between close and distant!

"Jin Yiwei is ashamed to bully the common people for petty profit!"

"If he didn't do it for petty gain, how could he get involved in the behind-the-scenes matter?" Commander Qiao said, "Xu Xian's wife and children wanted to save their lives, but instead they took the initiative to bump into them."

Qiao Yue remained silent, with dark currents in his eyes.

"Say it yourself!" Commander Qiao looked at his son sternly: "They still have evidence of the Crown Prince's Jing'an Hall case. Do you think this family can keep it?"

The Xu family entered the Imperial Prison and were immediately investigated by Jin Yiwei.

What chilled him the most was that his son had already known what was going on behind the Xu family, and instead of eradicating them cleanly, he still went to prison and ordered them to be released!

If it wasn't for him, he would actually hide it from the sky and pretend that he didn't know about it!

Qiao Yue raised his head, and his eyes collided with his father without blinking: "Since father knows that it is the evidence of the prince's case, why does he deliberately hide it?"

At that time, with the support of Ren Anbo and others, the Holy Majesty succeeded in winning the throne and ascended to the throne, but the position of prince was still occupied by his nephew.

The Holy Majesty loved the prince very much, and he didn't show any intention of abolishing him.

He even relied heavily on the prince and asked the prince to build the Jing'an Hall where refugees gathered.As a result, within half a year, the Jing'an Hall, which the prince was in charge of supervising, collapsed, killing tens of thousands of people.

The prince was accused of corruption, and his reputation plummeted since then, even to the point of being deposed.

Qiao Yue and the prince were cousins ​​who grew up since they were young. He knew the prince's character since he was a child, and secretly investigated the case thoroughly. He was naturally sensitive and immediately found many suspicious points.

As a result, before further material evidence could be collected, Qiao's family was suddenly confiscated because of the so-called excessive clothing.

Unable to endure the humiliation, the mother hanged herself and finally alarmed the queen mother and urged the emperor to release the Qiao family.

By the time Qiao Yue came out of the prison in a daze, the prince's cousin had died of illness, and he didn't even see the last side of the two relatives...

This matter was a thorn in Qiao Yue's heart.

Now that there is evidence from the Xu family leading the way, maybe we can get a glimpse of the sky.

But what my father did was clearly to kill all the evidence.

Gritting his teeth, Qiao Yue knelt down and said, "Since the evidence has surfaced back then, it is also a godsend opportunity! My son begged his father to thoroughly investigate the case, comforted his mother's soul, and sought justice for thousands of people who died in vain!"

"Fairness? You still don't know what Jinyiwei is?" The commander looked down at his son expressionlessly: "Over the years, I thought you had made some progress, but you didn't seem to be."

Qiao Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent.

He naturally knew the meaning behind his father's words.

His Majesty rules the world, but the prince is not his own.

This is of course a thorn in the emperor's heart.

Perhaps in the previous case, someone with a heart deliberately catered to the holy will, so that the prince had such a chance to "show his face" so that he could take the opportunity to eradicate it.

Now, the one who is in charge of the Eastern Palace is already the Holy Majesty's own son.

How could the Holy Majesty want to repeat the past?

But in that case, countless refugees were killed and injured.

Don't they deserve to know the truth?

The mother and cousin left with a grudge, and the grass in front of the grave was already deep.

The evidence is at hand, but they have to ignore it. Don't their spirits in heaven blame themselves for their cowardice?

Over the years, my father seems... to have lost all his chivalrous spirit, and has quickly transformed into the kind of eagle and dog that others say...

Qiao Yue knelt quietly on the ground, tightly clenched his fists with his dangling palms beside him.

"Kneel here tonight and reflect on yourself." Commander Qiao said coldly: "As for the Xu family, you can't save them, and you shouldn't even try to save them!"

It was late at night, and He Zhiyang suddenly felt his mind was disturbed, so he got up and stood by the window.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the boy is not asleep.

It's the middle of winter, and the cold air is awe-inspiring.In the courtyard next door, under the moonlight, the bleak withered leaves were covered with thin frost, Qiao Yue knelt in the cold wind, his body didn't move at all, but his black eyes flashed for a moment, helpless.
