Yin Li already knew the situation from Tang He, so he naturally had some guesses. He took over the list without changing his expression, and accepted the matter.
The emperor looked deeply and said: "You should investigate first. If there is evidence, you must get it first. This time, I don't plan to tolerate too much."
So this is trying to scare the chickens and monkeys.
Yin Li bowed his head in response, stepped back and found Tang He, "I remember you and Yang Heshu from the Yang family are very close?"
Tang He had already expected it, bowed his head in response, and then promised: "The lower officials will handle it impartially."
Yin Li stared at him for a while and then nodded.
Tang He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help arguing with Yin Li, "My lord, Yang Changbo has outstanding talents and a bright future, he doesn't need to use these ghost tricks."
Yin Li glanced at him and said, "Of course I know. How old was he 13 or 14 years ago? But just because he didn't do it doesn't mean he won't be implicated."
Tang He said uncertainly: "Master Yang probably won't either. Changbo is so good, it will not be difficult for him to be appointed as a marquis or prime minister in the future. Being a foreign relative is far inferior to the glory brought by Changbo alone."
Yin Li asked indifferently: "Thirteen or four years ago, would Lord Yang think so?"
Tang He stopped talking.
Thirteen or fourteen years ago, although Yang Heshu was already known as a genius, he was a child of someone else from a wealthy family, but no matter how powerful he was, he was only in his early ten years old at that time.
Yin Li said: "Let's investigate first. No matter what we say at this time, it is only speculation. Only by investigating clearly will it be in the greatest benefit for him."
Tang He nodded.
But they all knew in their hearts that it might be very difficult to find out the person behind the scenes in the palace.
Throughout the dynasties, which aristocratic family did not put some people in the palace
Tang He thought about it, since it is not easy to check inside the palace, then check it from outside the palace.
He remembered something and whispered something in Yin Li's ear.
Yin Li raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded after a while, "Go."
So Tang He turned around and went out of the palace to get Xu Yu's aunt, the one who gave her orders and delivered news.
Yin Li sits in the palace and confiscates many palaces under the pretext of investigating the poisonous needles that the imperial physician was replaced. The servants and maids among them were detained and interrogated separately, and those on the list were taken to another place for secret interrogation.
Of course, this is something adults only worry about, and it has nothing to do with Man Bao and the others.
As soon as they came out of the prince's study, they ran back to the Chongwen Museum, after thinking about it, they finally found Xu An.
The four of them sat on the chairs and all looked at him with piercing eyes. Xu An felt apprehensive, not knowing what he had done.
Seeing that they were silent, Bai Erlang couldn't help but speak first, "Xu An, are you working carefully?"
Xu An was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", shaking his head again and again, and said, "My lord, please forgive me, but what did this servant do wrong, you tell me, I will change everything, and please forgive me!" The slave dies."
With tears streaming down his face, he cried, "If the steward hears this, the slave won't have to live."
Not to mention Man Bao, even Bai Shan gave Bai Erlang a disapproving look, and said, "Why are you scaring him?"
Bai Erlang's eyes widened, and he looked at the two in disbelief, "I, did I scare him? Could it be that I'm not telling the truth?"
Xu An's face turned even paler, and he kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy, only begging Bai Er to spare his life.
Seeing him like this, Bai Er immediately became very angry. He always felt that his appearance was very familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered, turned his head to look at Yin He who was sitting beside him, and said, "He is like you before."
Yin Or, who was about to say good things to Bai Er to expose Xu An, immediately ignored him and didn't speak, just looked at him so anxiously that his face turned red.
Bai Shan and Man Bao are not fools, so they can see that half of Xu An's behavior is fake, but they know the truth.
Xu Yu died, and the two couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
So Man Bao sighed and stopped Xu An from kowtow. Seeing that his forehead was bleeding from kowtow in such a short time, he frowned, "You don't have to do this, we have no malicious intentions, you..."
Man Bao paused, looked at Bai Shan, and finally chose to say: "Your sister..."
She said vaguely: "She handed you over to us."
Xu An, who still wanted to kowtow to express his sympathy, froze in place. After looking at Manbao for a while, he immediately returned to his senses, lowered his head slightly to collect his thoughts, "Master Zhou was joking, I entered the palace since I was a child, and everyone in my family I don’t remember, how can I have a sister?”
Bai Erlang calmed down, probably because he remembered his tragic life experience, and stopped thinking about what happened just now.
Man Bao also fell silent, not knowing what to say to him, after all she had promised Xu Yu not to tell him.
Bai Shan looked at her, but still opened his mouth and said, "Her name is Xu Yu, you should know that, right?"
Xu Anqiang said with a smile: "Master Bai, please forgive me, Xu Yucai killed the emperor's grandson, how could she be the servant's sister..."
Man Bao stretched out his hand to hold Bai Shan, raised his head and said to him: "Xu Yu said that she has a younger brother. When he was about two years old, they were displaced due to the military disaster, and then they were taken in by a family and specially raised in the village. .”
"Those people want to train them to become masters. Because she learned well, they can visit her brother once a month. Later, when she entered the palace, those people said that as long as she is obedient, her brother will be in the village. Reading and literacy will lead to a better life in the future.”
Man Bao looked at Xu An who fell silent and said: "But within two years, she saw you in the palace. She was afraid of causing trouble for you, so she didn't dare to recognize you, but I think, with her heart, she I will definitely find a way to take care of you from other aspects, have you been released with kindness for no reason?"
Xu An lowered his head and lowered his eyes so that no one could see his expression.
After a pause, Man Bao continued: "I promise her that I will take you out and save your life as much as possible. His Royal Highness has already promised to give you to me. In the future, you don't have to listen to that side anymore gone."
She said: "I won't ask you anything about those people, we just pretend that nothing happened to each other."
Xu An, who had kept his head down all the time, started to shed tears drop by drop. Unlike the mournful crying just now, this time, he didn't let them see the tears in his eyes, and he didn't make a sound.
They would hardly have known he was crying if they hadn't seen what seemed to be a wet patch on his knees as he knelt.
Now even Bai Erlang couldn't help scratching his head, and apologized embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, it was my fault just now, I shouldn't have asked you those questions rashly."
Man Bao got up and took the medicine box over and said, "Let me treat the wound on your forehead for you."
Xu An kept his head down and refused to lift it up.
Bai Shan slightly shook his head at Man Bao.
Man Bao stopped forcing him and let him clean up his emotions alone. After a while, he raised his head. There were not many tears in his eyes, but the corners and fundus of his eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were almost bloodshot. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Master Zhou, can I see her?"
