Yang Yuanqing's inner room was never allowed to enter any people, so he changed to the outer room, although he was really tired from the journey, but the appearance of foreign objects in the back garden still made him pay great attention. **

Of course he knew what was going on, to put it nicely, this was Rui Zhao, the will of heaven that allowed him to ascend the throne, but the problem was that this Rui Zhao actually appeared in the back garden of his mansion, and was easily discovered by a snow-sweeping subordinate, which had to let Yang Yuanqing take care of it.

It will definitely not be someone who comes in over the wall to bury things, the Chu Wangfu is a "Hui" character structure, the back garden is located in the inner mouth of the word "Hui", there is a peripheral house outside the wall, the outer house is heavily guarded, the clear and dark sentinels are guarded layer by layer, and it is difficult to enter the wings.

It can only be done by insiders, and it must be a maid or a housekeeper or something like that, and the manservant can't enter the back house.

At this time, the foreign object in the back garden was placed on Yang Yuanqing's face, which was a five-inch square bronze box, which was covered with dark green patina, as if it had been buried in the soil for thousands of years.

Yang Yuanqing opened the lid of the box, inside is a jasper seal, a radius of about four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the jade is the best green jade, the carving jīng Zhan, delicate and round, obviously from the hands of a famous artist.

In fact, the real heirloom jade seal is in the hands of Yang Yuanqing, before Yang Guang committed suicide by poisoning, he ordered Shen Guang to bring the jade seal back to Taiyuan and pass it on to his grandson Yang Yu.

This jade seal dug out from the back garden is an imitation of the jade seal of the country, from the material of the jade, can be fought with the real jade seal, it can be inferred that the mastermind behind the scenes, is by no means an idle person.

Standing below were Aunt Liu, who found the jade seal, and the housekeeper who was in charge of taking care of the inner house, both of them were very nervous, especially Aunt Liu, whose legs trembled and she was so frightened that she almost fell to her knees.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at them and felt their nervousness, so he tried to keep his tone gentle. asked Aunt Liu: "Tell me first, how did you find this copper box?" ”

"Return...... Lord......"

Aunt Liu's voice trembled, and she said tremblingly: "About three days ago, I got ...... It was snowing, and I was sweeping the snow as before, sweeping away something, which I thought was a stone, and reached for it. Unexpectedly, it was the button on this copper box. I...... I quickly reported it to the housekeeper. ”

"Where did you find it?" Yang Yuanqing asked.

"Next to the trail, that...... Under a hundred-year-old laurel tree. ”

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and asked, "Do you clean every day?" I would like to know, how long has it been since your last cleaning? ”

"It was only one night, and I didn't have it when I swept it in the afternoon, but I found it when I swept it again the next morning."

Pei Minqiu stood on the other side, her expression was very calm. Lingdiankanshu.com listened to the reports of her subordinates like her husband, but she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, because Yang Yuanqing had already asked about everything she had already asked. Why doesn't the husband ask himself, doesn't he still believe in himself?

Pei Minqiu tried to think on the bright side, maybe this is Yuan Qing's habit. He likes to interrogate in person, and at this time, Yang Yuanqing turned to the housekeeper's wife again, stared at her with sharp eyes, and asked slowly: "Who is more abnormal among the maids these days?" ”

Yang Yuanqing didn't consider that it was the man's servant. is closely guarded by guards, and the manservant can't enter the back house at all, he can only be a maid or a mother-in-law, or even the housekeeper in front of him.

Perhaps Yang Yuanqing's eyes were too sharp, the housekeeper's legs trembled violently, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground, and said nervously: "Master, I have carefully observed it in the past few days, and it is really ...... No one was abnormal, and no one came in or out. ”

"Is there no one? Entering and exiting the house. ”

"That's it...... The old woman went out once the day before yesterday, but ...... Sir, it has nothing to do with me at this time, I don't know. The housekeeper was so frightened that she became incoherent, and she found herself the biggest suspect.

Yang Yuanqing did not suspect the housekeeper's wife, he could see that it was not the housekeeper's mother-in-law, he fell into deep thought, this should have been buried before the snow, and it was buried the night before the snow, so cold weather......

"Did anyone get sick with the cold the next day?" Yang Yuanqing asked slowly.

The housekeeper's wife hurriedly said: "There are two maids who feel sick and haven't gotten up in the morning." ”

At this time, Pei Minqiu's face suddenly changed, she seemed to think of something? Her heart began to pound, and she tried to restrain her nervousness, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

Of course, Yang Yuanqing knew that people who buried things would not necessarily catch a cold, but there was no clue to suffering, so he could only consider this kind of accidental xìng.

In fact, this is not a bad thing, some people want him to ascend the throne, and many people want him to ascend the throne, but they actually bought off their own people and buried this thing in the back garden of the palace, which made him quite unhappy.

Of course, if this matter gets out, the effect is really good, it's just ......

Yang Yuanqing turned back to his wife and asked, "Has this matter spread in the city?" ”

Pei Minqiu shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't gone out in the past few days, and no one has reported this kind of thing to me." ”

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, he should pay attention to this matter

Pei Minqiu yīn hurried all the way with a calm face, and went directly back to her yard, she went up to the second floor, and came to the door of her son Yang Ning's room.

"You're waiting outside!" Pei Minqiu said angrily to several maids.

Several maids stopped, they were all a little scared in their hearts, it was rare to see the housewife so angry, and they didn't know what was going on.

Pei Minqiu pushed the door into his son's room, the room was very warm, he sat at the table to practice calligraphy, and there were a few books he was reading next to him.

The day before yesterday, Yang Ning suddenly caught a cold and was not lightly ill, so he took leave to stay at home for the past two days and did not go to Hongwen Hall to study.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yang Ning looked up, but saw that it was his mother, he quickly got up and stood respectfully with his hands down, "Mother!" ”

"How are you feeling now, does your head still hurt?" Pei Minqiu sat down and asked in a light tone.

"Back to my mother, my head doesn't hurt anymore, and when I saw my father today, I don't feel that it has any impact at all."

"Hmm!"

Pei Minqiu nodded, and asked again: "Then how did you get cold, I can't figure it out, stay in the house well, how can you get cold?" ”

Pei Minqiu stared at his son's expression tightly, Yang Ning lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word. Pei Minqiu held back his anger and asked, "I remember that a few days ago, you brought back a cloth package, what was in it, show it to me." ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing? Yang Ning's voice trembled with nervousness.

"Bang!" Pei Minqiu slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily: "Rebel, do you dare to lie to me? ”

Yang Ning was so frightened that he knelt down and said with a crying voice: "Mother, children don't dare to lie. ”

Pei Minqiu was already flushed with anger. He shouted, "That's good." Tell me, what's in that package? How do you feel sick? ”

Yang Ning's face turned pale with fright, he lowered his head deeply, and whispered: "Please don't ask, I really can't say." ”

Pei Minqiu had already understood most of it, and she still refused to say it when she saw her son. Gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Okay, I'll tell your father and let your father judge you." It's up to you to say it or not! ”

After speaking, Pei Minqiu stood up and walked out, and Yang Ning hugged his mother's feet all of a sudden. Crying loudly, "Don't tell Daddy, I'm going to be beaten to death." ”

Pei Minqiu saw her son crying pitifully, and her heart softened suddenly, her son was only eight years old. is still a child, what is really hateful is the person who instigated him behind his back, what do you care about with your child?

She sighed, sat down again, calmed down a little, and then asked softly, "You told my mother, did you bury that thing in the back garden?" ”

Yang Ning was actually very scared in his heart for the past two days, he went to the backyard the day before yesterday, only to find that there was nothing left, but no one in the family mentioned it, as if nothing had happened.

When he was nervous, he didn't expect his father to come back suddenly, and he was flustered at this time, but his mother found out first.

Yang Ning knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to wipe away his tears and nodded, Pei Minqiu saw that it was really his son's doing, and the anger in his heart burned.

"Did your master tell you to do it?" Of course, Pei Minqiu knew that it was not his son, and his son did not have such valuable things.

Yang Ning hurriedly shook his head, "It has nothing to do with Master." ”

Pei Minqiu was stunned in his heart, if it wasn't his master, who would it be? At this time, Pei Minqiu suddenly thought of a person in her heart, and her heart felt like falling into an ice cave, she stared at her son and said word by word: "Grandpa asked you to do it, didn't it?" ”

Yang Ning saw that his mother had guessed, he bit his lip tightly and explained in a low voice: "Mother, my grandfather really has no malicious intentions, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking forward to it like this, hoping that his father will ascend the throne, and his grandfather said that this is to create Ruizhao, even Du Xiangguo also said so, hoping that his father will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the child feels that there is nothing wrong, so he ......"

Pei Minqiu was already angry, she hated her heart so much that her heart was dripping blood, her grandfather actually used his son, a child who was only eight years old, to use his ignorance and ignorance to let him do this kind of thing, he was harming his own son, which would kill him.

"Mother, is the child doing something wrong?" Yang Ning asked timidly.

Looking at his son's clear and innocent eyes, Pei Minqiu hugged him in his arms distressedly, "Child, you are still young, you don't understand adult affairs, things are not as simple as you think, should you ascend the throne, your father knows in his heart, don't you make trouble for your father again, you know?" ”

Yang Ning nodded lightly, "The child understands, mother, will you tell your father?" ”

Yang Ning raised his little head and asked with a pitiful expression.

"I ......"

Pei Minqiu reacted at this time, her grandfather was sure that she would not tell Yuanqing, so she dared to be so unscrupulous, she hated it in her heart, but she was helpless.

"My mother won't say it for the time being."

Pei Minqiu sighed helplessly, "But my mother won't keep it from your father, I will find a suitable time to tell him." ”

Pei Minqiu squatted down, looked into his son's eyes, and solemnly told him, "Ning'er, you must remember your mother's words, you are surnamed Yang, not Pei, understand?" ”……
