Mrs. Ji went to Yang Ge Lao's mansion and came back like tears. ￠￡, there is Mrs. Ji now at home, who is her mother-in-law. She wanted to stay in the palace to help with Aunt Zhong's funeral, but she had to come back and ask Mrs. Ji for instructions.

Besides, she is the mistress, a huge Xinhua Hall, so she has to make some arrangements before she can live in the Pavilion Master's Mansion.

When Mrs. Ji came back, she told Mrs. Ji about the cause of Aunt Zhong’s death, and also described the sadness of Mr. Yang.

Aunt Zhong has been in the palace for decades and has always been deeply loved by Mr. Yang. When Mr. Zhong died, Mr. Yang seemed to want to go for Mr. Zhong, but there is no such method in the world. All he can do is to prepare for Mr. Zhong’s funeral and then bury Mr. Zhong with great burial.

During the remarks of Mrs. Ji, she specifically focused on the decision of Mr. Yang and the arrangements that the Master’s Mansion were doing. While she said this, she kept secretly looking at the faces of Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji Er and others.

Even at this time, Mrs. Ji was still using her scheming.

Mrs. Ji was not the legitimate daughter of the Pavilion Master's Mansion, but from childhood to adulthood, even the treatment of getting married, was no different from that of the legitimate daughter. All of these depended on Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong was gone, and Mrs. Ji was worried that the Ji family thought she had lost her backing, so she looked down on her from now on.

Actually, she was over-thinking.

Old Mrs. Ji has never valued her, and now she will not look down on her, as is Mrs. Ji Er.

"...I can't serve the old lady sooner or later, so let Xiaomu's wife perform filial piety to the old lady for me. The affairs of Qianhua Hall will be left to Xiaomu's wife to handle. The old lady, the second wife and the county lord have any instructions, just look for Xiaomu's wife." Finally, Mrs. Ji told her arrangements for family affairs.

Of course, no one has any objection to this.

"Madam, please be mournful and follow the changes, take care of your health." After Madam Ji said goodbye, Madam Ji Er stood up to see her off, and said a few words to comfort Madam Ji.

Mrs. Ji also heard it and said a few words to thank Mrs. Ji Er.

"There are also Mrs. Lao Er in front of the old lady."

"It's just a matter of duty, why are you talking about it?" Mrs. Ji Er said, seeing Mrs. Ji Er's haggard appearance, Mrs. Ji Er still sympathized with her very much.

Mrs. Ji left Xuanhua Hall and went to the upper room of Qianhua Hall. After a little cleaning, she took Sister Ji Xiaolian and a few hurried to Yang Ge Lao's mansion.

When Master Ji and Master Ji Er went to court, they heard about the death of Aunt Zhong. They went to Xuanhua Hall first to pay tribute to Mrs. Ji, and then went to Old Master Yang's mansion.

The brothers only returned in the evening.

Master Ji looked unhappy on his face, sat in front of Mrs. Ji for a while before leaving.

"Dad, what's your uncle's worries?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji Er.

"Yes, it won't be that his little mother-in-law is gone, he will just pull his face as long as his horse's face." Old Mrs. Ji also saw that Master Ji's face was particularly bad, so he asked.

"Brother has some small differences with Mr. Yang Ge." Mr. Ji Er replied.

"What kind of small differences?" Ji Xiaotang asked, and it was definitely not a small difference that made Master Ji show such a look.

"Old Yang Ge Lao wants to send Aunt Zhong a lot. The eldest brother reminded Mr. Yang Ge Lao that it was beyond the etiquette system." The father-in-law and son-in-law muttered a few words about this matter. Old Yang Ge Lao was very persistent and did not listen to Mr. Ji at all, which made Mr. Ji bored, so he didn't look good when he came back.

Master Ji Er talked about a few things about the arrangements at Aunt Zhong’s funeral, which was indeed a bit beyond the reach.

After all, Aunt Zhong is just a concubine. Now that Mr. Yang's original wife, Qin, is still alive, it is unruly to handle Aunt Zhong's funeral in this way.

"Aunt Zhong has been proud of his wife for so many years, but he has always been following the rules, and no comments on loving concubines and destroying his wife have been spread." This shows that Mr. Yang has always been very clear-headed and can distinguish the difference between wives and concubines, but why did he suddenly become confused at this time?

There are already so many memorandums that impeach him. () At this time, shouldn’t he be more cautious?

What did Mr. Yang want to do with the funeral of Aunt Zhong?

After dinner, Ji Xiaotang was talking to Mr. Ji Er in the study, and someone came in outside to report that Qin Zhen was here.

Ji Xiaotang welcomed Qin Zhen in with Master Ji Er.

"... I happened to pass by nearby, thinking about coming and sitting there." Qin Zhen entered Jinghuatang's study. He seemed to be familiar with his study. He sat down on a comfortable chair and said with a smile.

It is common for Qin Zhen to pass by in Xinhua Hall like this.

Ji Xiaotang made tea himself, and gave it to Qin Zhen the first cup, and gave it to Master Ji Er. Then he picked it up and sat next to him.

"You can also drink the tea made by Xiaotang with his own hands. If it could be done every day, it would be great." Qin Zhen smiled, and subconsciously glanced at him and saw the pot of orchid in front of the window.

The pot of orchids arrived at Jinghua Hall, and was taken care of by Master Ji Er.

This scene, this pot of flowers is the only beauty. Qin Zhen's expression was still on his face, but he thought secretly in his heart.

Of course, Qin Zhen’s visit was not just for a few gossips.

Aunt Zhong died, but she was just a concubine in the Pavilion Master's Mansion. It seemed that she was not worth noting, but in fact it was not.

"He was a little unable to sit still and started killing people to silence him." Qin Zhen said slowly.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

The confessions of Wang Jiaoer and Jiang Miaoer have met Aunt Zhong. Qin Zhen’s actions arranged by these days have made Mr. Yang alert and realized that his identity is in danger of being revealed.

When Mrs. Zhong fell into the water, Mr. Yang was so sad that he could not help but take his anger. The news revealed by Mrs. Ji was that two girls who only served Aunt Zhong were executed, and there were also servants who served at night in the mansion, who were also punished, those who died and those who sold them.

Mr. Yang’s anger was definitely not aimless.

But when he killed someone to silence his beloved concubine, whom he had been loving for many years, was willing to kill the Jie Yuhua and his confidante whom he often said. Yang Ge was really anxious.

"I'm not afraid of him being anxious, I'm just afraid of him not being anxious." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

The more Mr. Yang couldn't sit still, the more anxious he was, the more flaws he would reveal.

This is the purpose of Qin Zhen’s actions these days.

Mr. Yang did exceed the etiquette system when he handled a funeral for his favorite concubine. This was almost immediately caught by the censors and he also wrote a copy of Mr. Yang in the court.

When the censor impeached Mr. Yang, the master was not in the court. Because he lost his beloved concubine, Mr. Yang was unwell. He had already asked Emperor Longqing for leave and refused to come to court. Instead, he was recuperating at home while watching someone take care of Aunt Zhong’s funeral.

Emperor Longqing seemed to have sympathized with Yang Ge Lao, and received an impeachment note in the court, and then beat the official to Yang Ge Lao's mansion to upload an order, so that the part of Yang Ge Lao's general who exceeded the etiquette system was rectified immediately.

The official passed on the will of Emperor Longqing, and his attitude was gentle, and then he comforted Mr. Yang.

Of course, this is not what Zhongguan himself means, but what Emperor Longqing means.

Mr. Yang understood and accepted the order on the surface, but acted slowly.

"This old fox!" Jing Huatang's study room, Qin Zhen, Qi Younian, Ji Second Master, and Ji Xiaotang gathered together to discuss the latest exhibition of the matter. Qin Zhen called Yang Ge Lao an old fox.

This old fox not only killed his favorite woman but also made full use of this woman's death.

"I think although his face is not as sad as he looks, his complexion has actually improved a lot." Mr. Ji Er went to visit the Yan Lao Mansion with Mr. Ji today. He carefully observed Mr. Yang Ge.

"He felt that his Majesty's instructions were so he was not so worried and scared." Qi Younian said.

Everyone nodded.∮,

However, it is impossible for Mr. Yang to escape this disaster by using this.

Ji Xiaotang and his team's plans continue.

"He wants to avoid the edge for the time being and let us be aimless. We take advantage of his gap and give him a fatal blow."

Mr. Yang said he was sick and did not attend court, but the memorials of impeachment were still delivered to the imperial court every day.

Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing plagiarized all these memorials, but there was a memorial that even the emperor and the empress could not be kept in custody.

Qin Zhen reported to Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing to report the latest process of the investigation of the case in the early years of Longqing. All the evidence of the investigation pointed to Mr. Yang.

If these could not move Queen Mother Han and Emperor Longqing, then the list that Qin Zhen handed over to shock the Queen Mother Han and Emperor Longqing.

That was the names and resumes of some of the candidates who were successful in the early years of Longqing. These people have been confirmed to be closely related to the Xie rebels, participated in or assisted the Xie rebels, and some of them. Although they cannot be confirmed in the final form, there is also evidence that it is related to the Xie rebels.

Qin Zhen expressed his judgment in the court.

Yang Ge Lao was a nail placed in the court by the Xie rebels, and the fraud case in the imperial court was all done by Yang Ge Lao, in order to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he could use this to get rid of Luge Lao and replace it. On the other hand, it was to arrange his own party members, that is, the power of the Xie rebels, to enter various places and departments of the court to seek major events.

Finally, Qin Zhen also said that this list is part of what he can investigate in a limited time. Give him more time to conduct a comprehensive investigation and eliminate the remnants of the Xie rebels in the court.

Qin Zhen's memorial caused a sensation in the court and the country.

Emperor Longqing was stunned on the dragon throne at that time.

Qin Zhen refused to relax for a moment, and immediately suggested to Emperor Longqing that he should immediately arrest Yang Ge Lao and go to Dali Temple for interrogation. At the same time, he sent someone to surround the Ge Lao Mansion and investigate Yang Ge Lao's home.

If you carefully search the Yang Ge Lao's mansion, you will definitely find more evidence that Yang Ge Lao served as the Xie rebels over the years.

Qin Zhen made a generous speech, but Emperor Longqing was hesitant.

"Yang Qing is an important official of the court. He has been working diligently and loyal to the court for many years. This matter needs to be further confirmed. You should not act hastily, which will make the old ministers feel cold." At this time, Emperor Longqing showed his fatal weakness: indecisiveness.

Qin Zhen did not continue to urge him, but did not retreat, and just stood there without saying anything.

This is actually a silent statement.

When the monarch and ministers were in such a stalemate, Qi Younian walked out of the station again and said that there were important things to be reported.

Qi Younian's memorial almost made Emperor Longqing's head sweat almost burst out.

"Your Majesty must still remember that Your Majesty sent elite soldiers to escort Xie's thief leader Qi Sha Shangjing, but encountered a force of the Beiman near the capital. Qi Sha was in chaos, and most of the soldiers escorted were lost."

No matter how forgetful Emperor Longqing is, he will never forget this matter. First of all, this matter was born last year. Not long after, the Northern Barbarians appeared near the capital, which directly threatened the capital.

At that time, this was a major event that shocked the government and the public. At this time, Qi Younian proposed it again, and everyone, including Emperor Longqing, was still scared.

"How could I forget? Qi Qing suddenly mentioned it, what is the reason?" Emperor Longqing asked reluctantly.

"At that time, it was the minister who led his troops to escort Qi Sha himself. Although it had not been formed, he had always been worried about this matter." Qi Younian told Emperor Longqing that he could not let go of this matter, and this time he returned to Beijing, he unexpectedly got clues.

"Those Northern Barbarians were bought by a large amount of money and deliberately put them near the capital in order to kill the seven kills and silence them." All the clues Qi Younian also pointed to one person.

These Northern Barbarians were bought by Yang Ge Lao for a high amount of money.
