Chapter 477 Discovery

Song Nan heard a little hidden feelings from Zhu Changping's words. The so-called final worry either had no chance of winning in the face of the power of the Qingwang Mansion, or he was indeed threatened by some people, which led to Zhu Changping's unwillingness to respond head-on.

Song Nan sighed and said, "Well, people like you even turn a deaf ear to revenge. What do you want me to say? Fortunately, you are still a sage reader, and you are no different from beasts. Your father also gave birth to a son like you in vain. His son dares not even explore his father's grievances in order to save his own life. Your father must be ashamed under the spring and will always be difficult to close his eyes.

Wang Yong sneered and said, "Your Excellency, let's go. We don't have to help this kind of person and let him live and die. In order to hide this matter, Qingwang Mansion will never leave him in the world. As soon as I left, he was the first to die. It's a pity for this kind of person to die."

Song Nan nodded and got up and said, "It is said that he will die ugly. Does this kind of person still want to get fame? When I go back to Beijing to say hello, this person can't admit meritoriousness even if he writes like a beautiful article. My Ming Dynasty wants a person who is morally and filial, but he doesn't want this kind of unfilial waste.

Zhu Changping's face changed color when he heard this. He knew that the two people angered him, but the words were like piercing his heart, and his face was gray. Seeing Song Nan and Wang Yong getting up to leave, Zhu Changping suddenly shouted, "Please stay."

Song Nan turned around and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhu Changping said, "How did you know that there was an injustice in my father's death?"

Song Nan sneered and said, "We are Jinyiwei, and our eyesights are all over the court and the opposition, and there are also our people in Qingwang's mansion. Your father Zhu Zhen's death is quite suspicious, so we came to investigate this matter. But as his son, you don't care about your father's hatred, and I, the brocade guard, are also very happy. Why do you have to go to this muddy water?

Zhu Changping lowered his head and thought for a moment. He looked up and gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, the adult scolding is right. I am a person who reads the book of sages. As a son of man, I can't pay his father's injustice. How is it different from living in the world to pigs and dogs? Although I don't know the details, I also know that my father is by no means a fool. He started as a handyman in King Qing's Mansion. He has been conscientious and diligent all his life. He is steady, cautious and reliable, and highly valued by the old prince. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the internal affairs of such a large royal palace to my father. My father will never do those things that damage the reputation of the royal palace. Although I don't know much about buying a military camp, it's not my father's style.

Song Nan turned around and nodded and said, "This is like a human saying. Outsiders say that your father's death is wronged. Is it possible that you, as a son, do not know your father's grievances? Isn't that a joke? Tell me honestly, what was wrong with your father before and after his death? Has anyone come to see you in the royal palace?

Zhu Changping took a breath, quickly looked at the cracks of the front and rear doors, and turned around and said, "How did you get here? Is anyone following you?"

Song Nan said, "Don't worry, no one knows that we are here unless you say it yourself."

Zhu Changping nodded and said, came to the grass curtain in the west wing and opened the curtain and said, "Two adults, come with me."

Song Nan and Wang Yong followed him into the west wing. The west wing room was as simple, with only a shelf bed and a desk, and a bookshelf full of books next to the desk. Zhu Changping came to the bookshelf and quickly found a book from a pile of ancient books, turned over a few pages and took out a letter from the mezzanine.

"This is a family letter written to me by my father in September the year before last. At that time, I didn't care about it, but after my father's death, I suddenly understood what was said in this letter. Fortunately, this letter followed me in Lingzhou official school, because on the night after my father's death, I was thieves in the house of the forage field, and my father's letter of the old house was written with people. And some relics are strangely missing. At first, I thought it was the two shameless women accepted by my father, but later I figured out that they could only search for property and how they would be interested in letters and other things.

Song Nan reached out to take the letter and pulled out the letterhead. The calligraphy on it was crooked, and there were many typos.

"My father has never studied. He learned these words from the old prince in the royal palace. The old prince wants his father to read and better manage the Qing royal palace for him." Zhu Changping said with a little shame.

Song Nan sighed in his heart that everyone has his own story. The life experience of Zhu Zhen, who has never met before, is also an inspirational novel. He started from the royal miscellaneous service and arrived at the position of housekeeper step by step, learning to write, manage, and learn to employ people. Song Nan can even appear in front of him a poor boy who strive for improvement. The figure of climbing. Unfortunately, everything stopped abruptly a few days ago. After his death, his wealth was divided up, the mansion was taken back by the royal palace, and his only son also lived in a cold house.

The things on the letter are very simple. A large number of words are licking words, and they also pay great attention to and greet Zhu Changping. Like every nagging father, they greet and exhort them in detail. At the end of the letter, when they talked about their own situation, the key statement that Song Nan wanted appeared.

"...Since the prince of Anhua moved into the palace, a few people from Wei Xue have frequently come in and out of it and secretlymou business. ... The relationship between his father and Prince Anhua is also getting worse and worse. Recently, what the prince ordered his father to do is inappropriate for his father, which is against the rules set by the prince when he was alive, but he was severely reprimanded by Prince Anhua for his father. For my father, I wanted to resign from the position of housekeeper, but when I thought of the prince's death, I hoped to serve the little prince for a few years, and I didn't want to see the reputation of the Qing Palace being ruined, so I still stayed as a housekeeper, and I also hoped to try my best to maintain it and live up to the old prince's trust..."

In a few words, the helplessness and indignation revealed from it are obvious. It can be seen that Zhu Zhen is also very contradictory. He wants to leave, but he thinks that he has served in the palace for a lifetime and is favored by the old prince, and can't bear to turn a blind eye. However, due to his low status, every suggestion was ruthlessly scolded by the king of Anhua, so he was frustrated and depressed, which was inevitably revealed in the letter to his son.

Calculation of the time, this letter was a letter written in September the year before last, when Yang Yiqing took office as the three-sided general system. Since then, the military village of Ningxia Town was acquired by the royal palace, and the king of Anhua also said on that day that Zhu Zhen had been privately in the army since then. The generals reached an agreement to include the general's farmland.

It can be seen that Zhu Zhen may really come forward to accept the people of Tuntian, but he is not necessarily voluntary. It is very likely that King Anhua forced him to do so, which is also the reason why Zhu Zhen fell down after doing what he did not want to do.

"Have you ever written these words since then?" Song Nan asked.

"Since then, my father has rarely written letters, and he likes drinking and has two concubines. For this reason, I had a big quarrel with him. I haven't come back to visit him for more than a year. I didn't see his body until my father's death this time. It has been a year and two months since I last saw my father alive.

The corners of Zhu Changping's eyes were wet again, and tears fell down.

Song Nan patted him on the shoulder speechlessly and reached out to look for it randomly on the bookshelf. Zhu Changping wiped his tears and whispered, "Your Excellency, there is still something to show you. Please stand back."

Song Nan and Wang Yong flashed aside, but when they saw Zhu Changping bent down and talking about digging under the bookshelf, they took out a large box and slowly opened it. The box was neatly placed dozens of silver ingots of eleven taels and one ingots, which seemed to be two or three hundred taels.

"Your Excellency, this is the silver liang that my father sent to Yinzhuang. He mentioned this matter in a letter sent to me by my father more than ten days ago and sent me the deposited voucher in the letter. Yesterday, I secretly went to get it back. This may be the life capital my father left for me. Maybe he had already realized that his life would not be long ago. Unfortunately, I didn't care about my father's arrangements at that time, and I didn't understand what he meant.

Song Nan reached out and brushed his hand to brush these silver, and his heart was puzzled. Although Yinzhuang has the function of storing items, more people are still willing to exchange silver and other things with silver bills. Zhu Zhen's move is really strange. Why did he deposit this big box in Yinzhuang instead of directly changing it into silver tickets?

Song Nan raised her hand and poured all the silver on the table. The box was empty. Song Nan reached out and pulled it in the pile of silver. She couldn't help frowning.

Zhu Changping said, "There is nothing but silver, and my father didn't leave a word. In fact, when I went to get this box, I didn't know that there was silver here, because the voucher my father sent me was a wooden box, not silver."

Song Nan was stunned. It is said that the deposit is silver, and it should be written that it is silver. Otherwise, once the silver is missing, it is difficult to explain it clearly. Zhu Zhen wrote a box on the voucher, which shows that this box is more important than silver in Zhu Zhenzhen. Yinzhuang will definitely not lose this box, because what he wants to take on the voucher is a box he deposited.

Song Nan picked up the wooden box and looked up and down, and finally found that the bottom of the box was a little too thick, and there was a hollow sound on it. Song Nan reached out and pulled out the dagger from Wang Yong's hand and poked it hard on the board. With a click, the bottom plate was pried open, and the mezzanine could be seen with the naked eye. Paper is exposed.

Song Nan was overjoyed. He pried open a big mouth and stretched out his hand to take out a pile of paper from the sandwich. Because the bottom plate was not known where it was wet, the paper was soaked with moisture and was a little dirty and damaged, but it can still be seen that the handwriting on it was a pile of handwritten Tian Qi. Roughly, it was Qingwangfu who acquired Juntun. A copy of the agreement signed with the generals in the army at that time. Song Nan had no time to look carefully and kicked it in his arms and said, "Your father is a smart man. He has foreshadowed his end. These things are the evidence. It may not be appropriate to put this thing in your hands. I will take care of it first."

Zhu Changping was stunned. He didn't expect that there were such things in the wooden box left by his father, and he didn't know anything about it.

"Brother Zhu, the things you provided today are very useful. Your father is definitely harmful, and I will definitely get justice for your father. You should be silent about today, otherwise you will be worried about your life.

Zhu Changping turned pale and said, "Don't worry, how can I go out?"

Song Nan said, "I have one more thing to ask you. Your father is in the palace. You must know something about the pattern of the palace. Can you draw a picture for me? I could have asked others about this, but I can't trust others easily in this Ningxia town, so I can only trust you.

Zhu Changping was stunned and said, "Are you... going to steal into the royal palace?"

Song Nan said, "Don't worry about this."

Zhu Changping said, "I still went in and out of the royal palace when I was young, and I don't remember the situation in it, but I have a cousin who was taken into the royal palace to work. He has been in the royal palace for more than ten years, and it should be clear."

Song Nan said, "Is it reliable?"

Zhu Changping said, "Be loyal and honest, otherwise my father would not have taken him to work in the royal palace."

Song Nanxi said, "That's great."
