A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 119
It is not surprising that there are only a few records in the files of the Ministry of Officials for an official appointed by the imperial court to die in the line of duty.

but--

In the dossier of the Dali Temple-related case that was reported to Beijing, it was actually taken lightly with such a few hasty strokes?
Did not elaborate on the specific process of the incident, who were the entourage, and which doctor was diagnosed and treated, and died in the end?

Qi Wenyan leaned on the back of the chair, tapping the armrest of the seat with his slender and beautiful fingers. The expression on his face was the same as usual, but his eyes kept falling on the file on the table.

His entourage was a little uncertain about his emotions, so he could only try to speak first: "It may be because this Mr. Yang is just an official handling the case, and he is not really involved in the relevant people in the case. The file of this case at the beginning When it was sent to Beijing for review, the Dali Temple officials also focused on the involvement of the case itself. Relatively... they didn't pay too much attention to the information about the uncle of the Yang family, which makes sense."

"Usually, the local government and the imperial court do not know about the deaths of people infected with epidemic diseases. Otherwise, their corpses will not be allowed to be buried normally, and will be burned in the shortest possible time before burial." Qi Wenyan finally spoke, but his tone was clearly revealing. Playful.

Not to mention people like Qi Zhengyu, who are selfish and would never stand up for their daughter-in-law's natal family, and Qi Wenjing is not someone who can take care of such things.

Yang was right in not making trouble at the beginning.

The capital is far from Kanto, and it will take about ten days to travel quickly. When she and the Yang family got the bad news and rushed there, even Yang Yuting's body was burned.
The follower heard what he meant: "You still suspect that there is something wrong with the cause of the death of the old uncle of the Yang family?"

"After all, times have changed, and it is futile to say anything now." Qi Wenyan is a civil servant, but he is not pedantic.

Even if he is on the scene, he is also a decisive person who kills and never acts like a mother-in-law.

Regarding this matter, he suddenly became suspicious, and checked the files and files, because he didn't want to muddle along and be confused.

But now that the various clues and evidence he found are not enough to support him to investigate the case further, he also resolutely lets go, not trapping himself in a useless circle.

He sat up straight again, and reached out to take the personnel file of the official department that was placed a little far away.

Just about to close the booklet, I asked my followers to take it and return it to the official department...

But his eyes narrowed slightly.

At that time, in order not to reveal the specific goals and intentions, when I went to the Ministry of Officials to look for documents, I personally transferred the files of all the officials in a foreign office for three years, and brought back a whole small box together.

He personally followed, ready to pick up this booklet and put it back into the box for help, but saw that his master took the booklet and recorded it for a closer look.

He was puzzled for a moment, then withdrew his hand again: "What's the matter? Didn't you just look over this file and confirm it's safe?"

Qi Wenyan didn't speak.

His eyes calmly switched back and forth between the booklet and the case file on the table several times, and finally he laughed hoarsely and threw the booklet back on the table.

He leaned back in his chair and gave his relatives a wink: "Take a closer look, is there any difference between the document kept by the Ministry of Officials and this file in our own treasury."

The follower frowned, carefully held both items in his hand, and compared them carefully.

With Qi Wenyan's reminder first, he gasped when he saw it for the sixth time: "It's really wrong!"

He said: "The records issued by the Ministry of Officials to fill in the history of Yundu County Chief should have entered Beijing at about the same time as the closed case file of Dali Temple. It was sent over, but the difference between before and after is never more than three months. But it is obvious that the documents of the official department, whether it is ink or paper, look older than our files."

Qi Wenyan is a sensitive and rigorous person.

Up to this point, he didn't come to a conclusion casually, he just said: "Paper is different from the ink used for writing, so it will also affect it to a certain extent. Go to the warehouse and find other case files that Yundu County submitted to Beijing that year. If you don’t use the same kind of paper, you can find the ones with the same year, try to find as many copies as you can.”

"Yes!" Qin Sui put down the things in his hand, and hurriedly took orders to do it.

Because he had gone through the old files in the warehouse on a large scale before, this time he already knew where the relevant files in Yundu County were stored in those years, so this trip came and went very quickly, and he brought back six more files.

Two are from the same year as Yang Yuting's case, and the other four are from the year before and after that.

The local yamen wrote the dossiers to be submitted to Beijing, and they all paid more attention to it. The paper and ink used were the well-known local ones. The same kind of paper and ink were highly comparable.

After the comparison, Qi Wenyan showed an expression as expected.

His entourage was very surprised: "This is... this file was dropped or tampered with later?"

"This is interesting." Qi Wenyan curled the corners of his lips, his expression showing great interest, "At the beginning of the incident, I never erased all the records that might cause trouble in the future. Judging from the age of this paper, it should be at least They were replaced after four or five years? As for the person, he is an extremely cautious person, but if it were me, since they have all found their way into the warehouse of Dali Temple, I would directly burn them all, and it will be settled once and for all.”

Accompanying: ...

Yes yes yes, you are ruthless, you are noble!

The warehouse where the files are stored in Dali Temple is a place of great confidentiality.

Yes, you can go in and burn all the files, but what if you get out afterwards?
Who can guarantee that such a big commotion will not leave any tail clues, and instead let people expose themselves by following the clues?
In fact, the dossiers of the past few years have not been thoroughly investigated at that time, and the chances of being brought up again afterward are almost zero. Who would always go through some old cases that were settled early?The other party even came back to change the dossier and erased the relevant records. This is considered to be extremely cautious.

However, I still know my master well. Once Qi Wenyan gets angry, you'd better not pick him up.

Followed by Zhiqu, he was silent for a moment, and after consolidating his thoughts, he expressed his doubts: "Since he can reach into the file warehouse of Dali Temple to tamper with and change the files, why did he have to wait a few years before coming back? At that time Wouldn't it be safer to do it all at once?"

Qi Wenyan said: "There are two possibilities. Either the sister-in-law's status as the wife of the prince's family at that time made the other party fearful. Before the case files were reviewed by Dali Temple and completely closed and stored in the warehouse, he would not dare to cover up the sky with his hands so clearly." To smear the facts of the case indiscriminately, he can only wait for the news to pass, and wait for the sister-in-law's initial anger to dissipate, and then act after she relaxes her vigilance. The other is... when the incident happened, his status was not enough for him to unscrupulously Putting his hand into the warehouse of Dali Temple, he can only endure it, and wait until he has the ability to do it."

"If it is the former, when the imperial court paid attention to it, Mrs. Shizi failed to reverse the case with detailed files, which means that the evidence is indeed insufficient. At that time, there was nothing to do. After these years, various clues and evidence will only become more serious. If it is vague, it is even less likely to be turned over." Qin Sui thought, "That person had to come and change the file afterwards, most likely because of a guilty conscience. From this point of view, your suspicion may really be groundless, Master Yang's There may be other secrets behind death."

Qi Wenyan glanced at the things on the table again: "Send all the documents from the official department back to them."

Then he personally put together the files of Yundu County, but didn't say how to deal with them.

But then he ordered again: "Just pretend it's nothing, don't say anything about it."

He suddenly had a feeling that the murder case fifteen years ago and the recent turmoil in the palace of Yang Qingyun may have involved the same thing, or the same group of people!

So, what kind of hidden secrets and secrets are hidden behind his sister-in-law and the Yang family?

On Qi Wenyan's side, it was just a small episode. After the incident, no one noticed or associated it, and everything was still calm.

On April [-]th, Chunwei released the list.

The two groups of people from the first room of the Qi family and the second room got together in hypocrisy and organized a group to watch the list.

In this kind of occasion, the elders and mistresses need to show everyone's demeanor, so they can't rush to escape with the younger generations. Even if Qi Xin is with Qi Yuanming, Qi Huan and Qi Yuanchen are with Yang Qingyun, Qi Changge is also on this day. I couldn't sit still, so I went to Mrs. Yang's place early in the morning to say hello, hoping to join in the excitement and follow along.

Yang Qingyun stepped into the officialdom smoothly, and Mrs. Yang was in a happy mood recently, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

Yang Qingyun rode a horse, the others rode in a carriage, and a group of people passed by.

It's not too early for them to go out.

In the past, the imperial list had already been posted, and there were so many people nearby that it was impossible to get through.

Yang Qingyun was not in a hurry, but the others couldn't bear it.

It's not easy to ask the girls to squeeze into the crowd by themselves, so Yang Qingyun could only call the guards who followed the car to help open the way and protect the girls.

He himself directly picked up Qi Yuanchen and rode on his neck.

Qi Huan was a dead house in his previous life, but he really didn't like this excitement from the bottom of his heart, mixed in the crowded crowd, being pushed here and stepped on there, he really felt like crying without tears.

Fortunately, there was someone escorting them, and they squeezed to the front smoothly.

Let's take a look at this matter--

Everyone has a tacit understanding, and they all start counting from the last one.

Then--

Without counting two, the two brothers and sisters of the second room, Qi Yuanming, all changed their faces.

Especially Qi Yuanming.

Qi Huan also saw the list on the list. Qi Yuanming would try his best to enter the examination room because he was unwell. At least he passed the exam in his fifties. They really only counted two, and saw that Qi Yuanming's name was impressively listed in the third from the bottom.

Qi Yuanming's entire face quickly darkened, and his expression gradually changed from stunned, stunned, and unbelievable to embarrassment and anger.

Qi Xin next to her was also a little at a loss.

At this time, if it was Qi Huan, since she was in a bad mood and her psychological defenses had already collapsed, she would immediately put her head down and pretend to be an ostrich, turn around and leave.

Qi Yuanming was furious at the time, and indeed he had already moved his feet to squeeze out the crowd, but he was suddenly unwilling, so he bit the bullet and stayed, and continued to look at the list one by one, looking for the names of people he knew on the list, and to compare.

especially--

It belongs to Yang Qingyun.

Yang Qingyun's preliminary examination results were ranked eighteenth.

Qi Huan still struggled to read traditional Chinese characters, so he read them slowly.

He himself glanced over it first, and when he saw his name, he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Qi Changge, who was holding Qi Huan's hand, shouted excitedly: "The ninth place in the second class, is that cousin?"

Qi Huan was already dazzled and annoyed. Hearing this, he hurriedly counted from the beginning, and sure enough, he saw Yang Qingyun's name ranked ninth in the second class, and confirmed that the names of the two generations of his ancestors were correct.

If Yang Qingyun's grades are better, Mrs. Yang will be happier.

Qi Huan Ai Wu and Wu also felt happy from the bottom of his heart, with a smile on his face: "Yes."

But perhaps it was a little girl named Qi Changge who suddenly raised her voice and startled the people who were also crowded in the crowd to read the list. A young man frowned and turned to look over.

After Qin Shuo went through the nine-day tour of the Gongyuan, he was brushed off in the first round. Naturally, he has nothing to do here today.

But after wandering among the second-generation ancestors in the capital for these years, he made friends with some people. Today, when he was playing in the street, he happened to meet his old playmates, so he was dragged to watch the list together.

Originally, he was also interested in counting the names of the people he knew on the list, but when he heard the girl next to him call the ninth place in the top two, he naturally glanced over and found that it was Qi Huan's cousin, so he immediately turned his head to look over.

Qi Huan's mind was not on the surrounding crowd at the moment, and there was Qi Changge next to her, so she didn't even notice that this living enemy was there.

Qin Shuo didn't intend to take the career path of imperial examinations, so he just watched the excitement when he read the rankings. "Smiling and laughing" happily, but suddenly felt ashamed.

He was furious, and just about to find fault, Qi Changge suddenly pushed her from behind.

Originally, this place was crowded with people. She was a little girl, standing normally, her chassis was unstable, she instinctively staggered two steps to the side, but unexpectedly her skirt was stepped on again.

This time, one of them lost his footing and fell to the side.

Qin Shuo didn't think much about it. Suddenly someone ran towards him, and he instinctively stretched out his hand to help him.

At that time, the scene was chaotic, and when Qi Huan heard Qi Changge's low cry, he immediately took two steps forward, helped her over, and pulled her behind him.

Qi Changge was hugged on the waist by someone just now, she was so frightened that her entire face paled, her panicked face turned pale, and she subconsciously grabbed her cuff: "Big sister!"

And moving her away from the middle, Qi Huancai and Qin Shuo faced each other.

Qi Huan really did not expect to meet him here, and was taken aback for a moment.

But Qin Shuo's reaction was quick. Originally, he hugged a girl in a hurry, and he felt regretful and inappropriate in his heart, but when he saw Qi Changge hiding behind Qi Huan and calling him "sister", he became confident in an instant. Get up, stare and say: "So it's you, I said that some girl in broad daylight is so indiscreet, bumping into people recklessly!"

There were a lot of people around, but luckily everyone was discussing the position on the imperial list, and Qin Shuo was just muttering eccentrically, and he didn't make any noise. People took a look.

Qi Changge's face flushed all of a sudden, he was ashamed and annoyed, he almost cried, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean it..."

Qin Shuo sneered, obviously not buying it.

Qi Huan knew that Qi Changge was implicated by her, and she never had any hope for the second ancestor of the Qin family, so she sneered before he could speak again: "Apologize if you bumped into my sister, and then you can't help me." Just say one more word, and next time I will talk to Miss Ye family face to face."

Where is the weakness of Qin Shuo's love-brained licking dog? She is sure of it.

Anyway, they are hurting each other, so it's better to step on each other wherever they hurt.

Qin Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then became furious the next moment: "You...you dare!"

Qi Huan didn't talk nonsense with him, but just repeated: "Apologize!"

They talked for a long time, and the people next to Qin Shuo and Yang Qingyun also sensed that something was wrong, and came over one after another.

Qin Shuo cherishes Ye Xunyi like a treasure, but now Ye Xunyi just ignores him, if this crazy girl from the Qi family is to gossip and provoke a few more words, what's the point?

His face was flushed red, but he was able to bend and stretch. He gritted his teeth and glared at Qi Changge again, and said in a muffled voice, "Just now I saw that you were about to fall, so I helped you up. Please forgive me for being abrupt."

Although it didn't cause a large crowd to watch, there were still people looking sideways from time to time.

Qi Changge was so nervous that he stuttered: "No, it's okay."

Qin Shuo was humiliated by Qi Huan again, turned around angrily and squeezed out of the crowd, and left.

Qi Huan didn't want to continue to squeeze in this ghostly place, so he said to Yang Qingyun: "I also saw the ranking, mother should be anxious waiting at home, let's go back."

I don't know if it was a momentary forgetting or it was purely intentional. She led Qi Changge and turned around to leave, but left the second room and the two without even asking.

At this moment, Qi Yuanming stared at Yang Qingyun's name on the list, his face was so ugly that it was almost distorted, but he completely ignored what happened here.

But when Qi Huan and his group started to squeeze out the same way, Qi Xin cast a displeased sideways glance at Zhu Sha who had just squeezed back from the crowd to her side.

Zhu Sha sticks out her tongue, but she is not afraid.

After that, the master and servant did not speak to each other.

But because he knew that Qi Yuanming couldn't see Yang Qingyun now, Qi Xin didn't rush to tell him to leave.

Here Qi Huan didn't mean to wait for them either, anyway, one carriage couldn't fit, so they came in two carriages separately.

On the way back, Qi Changge seemed to still have lingering fears. He kept rubbing his skirt with his fingers, sneaked a few glances at Qi Huan, and said very anxiously: "Big sister, I was really careless just now."

The second son of the Qin family has a marriage contract with her eldest sister, even though she has heard that the aunt is dissatisfied with this future son-in-law and is planning to divorce the Qin family, but let alone the status is still there, even if the engagement is really broken ...

If Qi Huan was careful, he might have to worry about his concubine having contact with her former fiancé.

Qi Huan understands the rules here.

She didn't want to spread any advanced knowledge other than women's virtues to Qi Changge, so she just said: "That kid has his own heart, and he is in a hurry to divorce me. He owes a lot, but it wasn't directed at you just now, don't you Let him be."

Seeing her expression and tone, Qi Changge really didn't mind, so he was a little relieved.

It's just that although she occasionally goes to Qi Huan's place to play for a while, she doesn't ask Qi Huan about her marriage in person. Now that Qi Huan brought it up, she couldn't help but gossip: "Mother...really? Are you going to withdraw your marriage with the Qin family?"

Although the second son of the Qin family is too incomprehensible.

But after retiring the engagement, Qi Huan faced even greater resistance in discussing marriage.

Qi Huan didn't want to talk to her about this, so he just smiled and said vaguely: "What if you don't quit? Don't say I didn't like him, even if I really liked him, if he doesn't want to marry him, am I still begging for nothing? ?”

At this point, let me give some pointers to the little girl: "To get married, you must either have a good character, or you must have you in his heart. How can you live on your family background?"

Qi Changge didn't answer, he didn't know if he disagreed or didn't understand.

When the group returned to the mansion, they still went to An Xuetang to meet Yang Shi.

Hearing that Yang Qingyun's ranking was very good, Mrs. Yang was really happy, and immediately visited the whole courtyard.

After the list was announced, the emperor must be in a good mood this year, and then he issued a decree, saying that on April [-]th, a Qionglin banquet will be held in the palace, and all the Jinshi of this year will be summoned again.

The decree was delivered this afternoon, but so early in the morning, the Qi family received another decree, this time it was for Qi Huan by name, saying that the empress would hold a banquet of flowers on the same day, and Miss Qi would be invited to the palace. feast.

　In order to catch up with the plot, I always write and write, and the number of words exceeds. . .
