Go back to ancient times to explore the case

After hearing this, Xie Yu'an's expression was blank, and her heart shrank. She seemed to feel the deep hatred engraved into the bone marrow of her original body, which resonated with her soul at this moment.

After a long silence, she looked at Wen Qi and said, "Uncle Wen, I will definitely find out who was behind the scenes and avenge Yan Shangshu and my parents."

Wen Qi's face was solemn, and after hesitating for two seconds, he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yu'an's shoulder and said, "If that's the case, let's let go and do it, and report all the grievances and hatred to the real murderer behind the scenes."

"Uncle Wen, did I find any clues before?"

Wen Qi shook his head, "I don't know either, you never disclosed the progress of the investigation to me, but you mentioned it to me once about half a year ago, saying that you already had doubts about the real culprit of the tax and bank corruption case back then. , don’t tell me anything else.”

"Where is my former residence in the capital? I'll go back and have a look, maybe I can think of something."

After hearing this, Wen Qi took out a key from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Yu'an, "The third house in Shilifang in the west of the city is your former residence."

Xie Yu'an took the key, thanked him, and left Wen Ruo Pavilion, and came to the residence of the original little monkey.This is an ordinary residential house, located in a corner, because it has not been lived in for a long time, the courtyard is full of fallen leaves, and the house is also full of dust.

Xie Yu'an wandered around the front and back yards, but found nothing. She walked into the study, and the room was filled with dust. She covered her face with one hand, and searched for clues on the bookshelf with the other. After a long while, she still found nothing.

It stands to reason that if the little monkey finds any clues, there must be some data to keep. Xie Yu'an checked the room carefully, and finally found something strange in a corner of the room.

This bookshelf stands against the wall. The dust on the bookshelf is slightly thinner than other bookshelves, and the books are relatively new. They don’t seem to be turned over frequently. Xie Yu’an stretched out his hand to click through each book, and then on one of them Vaguely seeing a few fuzzy dusty fingerprints, she took out the diorama and put it on, and took a closer look to see that the fingerprints were indeed true.

As soon as she pulled out the book, the entire bookshelf rumbled and slid slowly to the right, revealing the stairs going down behind it.

Xie Yu'an went down the stairs to a basement and lit the oil lamp. The moment the lamp was on, she was stunned.This basement is not big, without any furnishings, there is a long table in the center, the table is full of messy papers, and many portraits and densely packed posters are nailed to the surrounding walls.

What shocked Xie Yu'an was not the details of the tax and bank corruption case recorded in those newspapers, but the ink and wash portraits of people she knew well.

The man in the portrait is middle-aged, with awe-inspiring eyebrows and eyes, and a solemn expression. This is no one else, but Qingtian Division Captain Gongsun Zan.

Little monkey... why did you investigate Gongsun Zan?

Xie Yu'an suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, she hurried to the table, bowed down and looked through the documents on the case one by one.

Most of it is the detailed information about Gongsun Zan's past life, interpersonal relationship, etc. collected by the little monkey, and the other part is the handwritten letter of the little monkey. All the clues she learned pointed to the fair and honest Gongsun Zan, and then she began to investigate Gongsun Zan. As the investigation deepened step by step, she discovered many suspicious points about Gongsun Zan. if.

"I will definitely expose Gongsun Zan's pious face as a hypocrite, and avenge his parents with my own hands!"

Xie Yu'an put down the handwriting, feeling chills all over his body. If the real culprit behind the scenes is really Gongsun Zan, then he hides too deeply, and if it is him, it will definitely have a big impact on Yan Qingchuan's heart, because after Yan Qingchuan entered the Qingtian Division, Gongsun Zan has always taken good care of her. She was able to sit on the position of Shaoqing, which is more or less due to Gongsun Zan's promotion. Yan Qingchuan has always regarded Gongsun Zan as a teacher and respects him very much.

Xie Yu'an crumpled the paper and frowned. After a while, she returned to Yan's Mansion with these materials in her arms.

When Yan Qingchuan returned home, he saw such a scene. Xie Yu'an was sitting in the courtyard, with his hands folded under his chin, with a rare and solemn expression.

"What happened?" She walked to Xie Yu'an and sat down, asking.

Xie Yu'an looked at her, and after organizing the words in his mind, he asked tentatively: "Master Yan, if one day, you find out that your closest relative and trustworthy person has been deceiving you from the beginning to the end, he... ...maybe even the enemy you are looking for, what will you do?"

Yan Qingchuan frowned when he heard this, his face became serious, "What do you want to say?"

After some psychological struggle, Xie Yu'an took out the investigation data of Gongsun Zan from his pocket and put it on the table, "Today I accidentally found these things in my past residence."

On this stack of materials, the top one is a huge portrait of Gongsun Zan.

Yan Qingchuan did not move for a long time. After a long time, she reached out to pick up the materials and looked through them one by one.

Xie Yu'an has been carefully observing her expression, but Yan Qingchuan's expression is calm from the beginning to the end, without a trace of shock or hatred.

After a while, she read these materials, her thin lips parted slightly, and said indifferently: "Where did you get these things?"

Xie Yu'an told her the past life experience of the original little monkey one by one. After hearing this, Yan Qingchuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "So you doubt Mr. Siwei based on the information that you don't remember after you lose your memory?"

Xie Yu'an was stunned by this question, and Yan Qingchuan said again: "Lord Siwei is definitely not the real culprit who killed my father back then."

"Why is Master Yan so determined?"

Yan Qingchuan didn't explain too much, but said two words firmly.

"I believe."

Xie Yu'an was stunned. Although Yan Qingchuan didn't explain, she could vaguely understand this kind of complete trust. After five years of acquaintance, Yan Qingchuan knew more about Gongsun Zan than she, an outsider.

She thought for a while and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Watch what happens."

However, what they didn't expect was that the change would come soon, and it would instantly cause turmoil in the entire court with an unstoppable posture.

On a certain day in late February of the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial censor, together with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and many other officials, impeached Gongsun Zan, the captain of the Qingtian Division, at the court meeting that day, and angrily denounced him for being cunning and false for profit. , Kill him and follow the current situation to forge it into the murderer of the nursery rhyme case with blood characters.

And for many years, he has been secretly manipulating Nirvana to harm the people and seek personal gain. After Nirvana was investigated, the prefect of Hecheng surfaced. In order to avoid confessing himself, the prefect of Hecheng killed him.

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the court hall.

The doctor Yushi presented a lot of evidence in front of the imperial court, one pile after another, one piece of iron evidence was placed in front of Emperor Yuan Qian. Emperor Yuan Qian was so angry that he vomited blood at the court meeting and fainted suddenly.

Before Gongsun Zan could explain every single word in the future, he was escorted by the imperial army into the sky prison, and he would make a decision when Emperor Yuan Qian woke up.

After the news was sent back to Qingtian Division, Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an immediately understood that this was a well-planned framing scene.

Xie Yu'an also knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes had already found out the identity of the original little monkey, and also knew about her amnesia, and took advantage of this to point all the blame at Gongsun Zan, misleading her and Yan Qingchuan to think that Gongsun Zan was the real murderer.

He had made two-handed preparations from the beginning. If she and Yan Qingchuan fell into his trap by mistake and continued to investigate, they would only find out more false evidence that he had set up to frame Gongsun Zan. If they did not move, then He will push many officials to impeach Gongsun Zan in front of the imperial court just like now.

Xie Yu'an clenched his fists tightly. First Wei Wei, then Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now the one who impeached Gongsun Zan in front of the imperial court was even a high-ranking official. What kind of identity is the person behind it, so that so many high-ranking officials can be used by him? He is planning again some what?

She looked up at the sky covered with thick clouds, and faintly felt that behind the dark clouds, there was a huge black hand that was about to stir up an undercurrent under the court.

......

"How is it?"

In a dimly lit room, a man was standing by the cage and teasing a sparrow.

"As the pavilion master expected, the emperor is in a hurry and has already entered the sick bed, and Gongsun Zan has been taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." The subordinate in front of the man replied respectfully.

The man's movement of teasing the bird paused, and then he asked, "What's that man's name?"

"Xie Yu'an, the daughter of the former servant of the household department, incarnated as a thieves monkey, lurking in the capital, secretly investigating the tax and bank corruption case back then, with the intention of avenging her father."

The man opened the cage, and the sparrow flapped its wings and flew out of the cage, but the house didn't have any doors or windows, so it could only keep bumping into the corner of the room. Seeing this scene, the man laughed happily, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't she want to Check it out, I will let her check it as she wants, but I don't know whether she is satisfied with the result of the investigation now."

"The master of the pavilion has a wonderful plan. She is the sparrow in the cage and cannot escape from the palm of the master." The subordinate said flatteringly.

"Next, there will be noble people to help her, just continue to follow the plan."

"Yes."

The man raised his hand and blew a whistle, intending to call back the fluttering sparrow, but the sparrow didn't come back, still trying to find an exit and rush out of the closed room, the man's eyebrows gathered anger, and he winked at the subordinate.

The subordinate understood, pointed his toes, jumped up and caught the sparrow, then came to the man and offered the sparrow.

The man took the sparrow, fondled the sparrow's flower feathers affectionately, and said softly: "Why are you disobedient?" His fingers moved to the sparrow's neck little by little, and then suddenly exerted force, the veins on the back of his hand swelled.

After a bird's neigh sounded in the quiet room, silence returned.

The man let go, took the handkerchief on the table, carefully wiped every bloody knuckle, and asked, "Is there any news from the palace?"

The subordinate took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and reported the news he had investigated, mentioning the word "prince" in his words.

The man raised the corners of his lips and smiled inexplicably: "The emperor really gave birth to a good son. It seems that the heavens are helping me in my success. Come here, and I will tell you to do something."

After the subordinate approached, the man whispered in his ear for a while.

"Yes, my subordinates will immediately send someone to do it."

After the subordinate left, the man looked at the dead sparrow on the ground and said, "Yan Zheng, Yan Zheng, it's a pity that you will never see the day when Daqi will be destroyed."

"You can't stop me, and neither can your daughter. Don't worry, I will let you father and daughter meet underground at the right time."
