Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 445 Interrogation (1)
"There is also a bunch of wicker patterns printed in the cortex of his second toe." Qing Yan said.

Qin Zheng said "hmm", "What else?"

"There are no other clues on this dead man." Qingyan said.

"I'm talking about that monk!" Qin Zheng said.

Qingyan nodded and said, "The monk was captured alive by Wang Hao and Miss Fanghua, and he has confessed. If you see him, you can see him now."

Qin Zheng waved his hand, "Go down first!"

Qingyan retreated.

Qin Zheng pinched the bead in his hand, and asked the emperor and Prince Ying in the hall, "Uncle Wang, father, take a look, does this bead look familiar to you?"

The emperor had already seen the bead in Qin Zheng's hand, the bead was extremely small, it was a black ink jade bead.There are clear patterns on the beads. This pattern is different from the general patterns of auspicious clouds, birds, insects and fish, and the engraving is the art of kylin, which is very clear.Although the beads are small, it can be seen that the bead makers at that time did not dare to be sloppy, and obviously put a lot of effort into carving them.

Such beads are not common, not only are they uncommon, they can only be seen in a small area, and they are not easy to show to others.

The emperor was speechless for a while.

The Prince of England's complexion sank slightly, and he was speechless.

"Can you recognize the left side? Can you know the right side?" Qin Zheng pinched the beads with his thumb and forefinger, and the tiny beads were spinning in his hand.He raised his eyebrows at the two of them.

The left minister glanced at the right minister, and the right minister also glanced at the left minister, neither of them said anything.

"Don't you guys know each other? Or don't you want to know each other?" Qin Zheng laughed, looked at Zhuzhu mockingly, turned around, and said to Concubine Lin and Princess Ying, "Concubine Tai, mother, how can you two?" know?"

Concubine Lin said to Qin Zheng, "Brother Zheng, bring it closer, and I'll take a closer look! Don't be fake."

Qin Zheng threw the beads at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing immediately reached out to catch it, glanced at it, with a serious face, and handed it to Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin took the bead in her hand, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Princess Ying, who was beside her. At the same time, she sighed and said, "Back then, the late emperor got a piece of unicorn black jade as a tribute from Lingnan. At that time, the master who knew jade knew it Look, it is said that the unicorn black jade is very rare, and only one piece is produced in a million years. It is a treasure. The first emperor liked it very much and wanted to make an inkstone, but the unicorn black jade is too small to make an inkstone, and it cannot be used. , It would be a pity to place it. Empress Dowager Deci gave the emperor an idea, it is better to make beads, and wear one on the jade pendant for every prince and grandson of the royal family and clan to show auspiciousness and wealth."

Princess Ying looked at the beads and said, "That's right! I was also there when the unicorn black jade was divided. The male heirs and grandchildren of the royal family who have already been born have a share. Those who were not born will not be counted. The princess and princess are not counted. There are four princes in the royal family, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the eighth prince. At that time, the eleventh prince and the twelve princes had not yet been born. There were two princes in the clan, Qin Hao and Qin Zheng. King Yuqian of Lingnan has two sons. One is Qin Yi and the other is Qin Pei. Although they are far away in Lingnan, the Empress Dowager Deci also counted them. There were originally eight people. But at the beginning Qilin Moyushi separated After they were made into beads, skilled craftsmen made two more. So the late emperor gave them a special reward and bestowed them on two heirs of the Marquis Mansion. One is the son Xie of the Zhongyong Marquis, and the other is the Little Prince Yanting of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion."

Everyone in the hall knew the origin of this ink bead.

In this way, the scope was narrowed down to these ten people.

The third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the eighth prince, Qin Hao, Qin Zheng, Qin Yi, Qin Pei, Xie Mohan, and Yan Ting.

Among them, the four princes were in the Mobei military camp, Qin Yi and Qin Pei were in Lingnan, and Yan Ting also went to Mobei.Only the third prince, fifth prince, eighth prince, Qin Hao, Qin Zheng, and Xie Mohan were left in the capital.

"Eighth Prince, quickly see if your ink beads are still there?" Dowager Lin looked at the Eighth Prince nervously.

Qin Qing also felt that the situation was already very serious as far as the matter was concerned.Unexpectedly, the dead man died, but he found an ink bead on his body.And the ink beads locked the range at once.If anyone's ink beads are gone, then even if they are not the mastermind behind the scenes, they are still related to the dead man.

Thinking about it, Qin Qing immediately reached into his bosom, rummaged through his pockets, and after a while, took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

There is a black bead tied to the string of the jade pendant, which is exactly the ink bead.

Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief, proving that this matter has nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. If it is, or Mo Zhu is no longer on him, then this matter is not a trivial matter, especially since she is old and wants to enjoy her old age peacefully , I don't want to have any accidents.After all, the eighth prince has been placed under her lap to teach.She has no children, and the eighth prince will be her future support.She didn't want him to participate in the muddy water that was surging with the dark tide at all.

"Zheng'er, where's yours?" Princess Ying asked Qin Zheng with the bead in her hand.

Qin Zheng reached into his bosom, took out a jade pendant, and shook it in front of Prince Ying and Princess Ying. The ink beads on the jade pendant were black and shiny.

Princess Ying nodded.

"Master Xie, do you take your jade pendant with you?" the emperor asked Xie Mohan.

Xie Mohan nodded, and took out a jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was naturally crystal clear, reflecting the ink beads black and shining brightly.

"The beads of the three of you are still there. Then it's up to others." Princess Ying turned to ask Prince Ying, "Where is the eldest son? Why didn't you come up the mountain with you?"

Prince Ying glanced at Princess Ying and said to her, "Qin Hao is not in the mansion. After you left yesterday, he was sent out of the city by the emperor on business."

"Oh? Where did you go?" Princess Ying asked.

"Didn't he and Qin Qing go to Qinghe a few days ago? On the way, they encountered robbers and injured both of them. Although they fought off the robbers at that time, they were also injured. After returning to Beijing , the emperor asked him to thoroughly investigate the robber, and he found the robber's lair the day before yesterday. He asked for the order and took people with him." Prince Ying said.

Princess Ying nodded, "When can I return to Beijing?"

"That's not sure!" Prince Ying said.

Princess Ying looked at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to the emperor, "Uncle Huang is really eager to employ people now! One person has multiple roles. My eldest brother is in the position of the Ministry of Households, and now you have given him the Jinglu Fubing. The court is so short of people. Is it? Grab a person and use it vigorously?"

The emperor looked at Qin Zheng with a grim expression, "There is a shortage of people in the imperial court now! If you are willing to pass the exam and enter the imperial court, I can make an exception for you right now!"

Qin Zheng snorted, "I'm afraid my nephew will overthrow your court and cause trouble for you."
