Yin Li already knew the situation from Tang He, so he naturally had some guesses. He took the list without saying anything and accepted the matter.

The emperor's eyes were deep and he said: "You check first. If there is any evidence, you must get it first. I don't plan to tolerate it too much this time."

So this is to scare the monkeys.

Yin Li bowed his head in agreement, and after retreating, he asked Tang He, "I remember that you are very close to Yang Heshu of the Yang family?"

Tang He had already expected it, bowed his head in response, and then promised: "I 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 but explain to Yin Li, "Sir, Yang Changbo is extremely talented and has a bright future. He doesn't need to do these ghostly tricks."

Yin Li glanced at him and said, "Of course I know how old he was thirteen or four years ago? However, just because he didn't do it, it doesn't mean he won't be implicated."

Tang He said uncertainly: "Young Master Yang probably can't do it either. Changbo is so good. It will not be difficult for him to become a marquis and become a prime minister in the future. Being a relative is far inferior to the glory that Changbo can bring alone."

Yin Li asked calmly: "Thirteen or fourteen years ago, would Lord Yang think so?"

Tang He stopped talking.

Thirteen or four years ago, although Yang Heshu was already known as a genius and was a child of someone else's family, no matter how powerful he was, he was only in his early ten years at that time.

Yin Li said: "Let's check first. No matter what we say at this time, it is just speculation. It is the greatest benefit to him to find out clearly."

Tang He nodded.

But they all knew in their hearts that it would be difficult to find out the person behind it in the palace.

Throughout the dynasties, which aristocratic family has not filled the palace with people?

Tang He thought about it, and since it was difficult to investigate inside the palace, he should investigate it from outside the palace.

He remembered something and Fu'er whispered a few words in Yin Li's ear.

Yin Li raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded after a while, "Go ahead."

So Tang He turned around and left the palace to fetch Xu Yu's aunt, the one who gave her orders and delivered messages.

Yin Li sat in the palace and searched many palaces in the name of investigating the poisonous needles used by the imperial doctors. The chamberlains and maids were detained separately for interrogation. Those on the list were taken to other places for secret interrogation.

Of course, this is something only adults worry about, and it has little to do with Manbao and the others.

As soon as they came out of the prince's study, they immediately ran back to Chongwen Hall. After thinking about it, they finally found Xu An.

The four people sitting on the chairs all looked at him with sharp eyes. Xu An was so worried that he didn't know what he had done.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Bai Erlang couldn't help but speak first, "Xu An, are you a craftsman?"

Xu An was stunned for a moment and then his face changed drastically. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" and shook his head repeatedly: "Master, please forgive me, but I have done something wrong. Please tell me and I will change everything. Please forgive me, Master."

The slave lives."

Tears fell from his eyes and he cried: "If the steward hears this, my slave will not have to live."

Not to mention Man Bao, even Bai Shan glared at Bai Erlang with disapproval and said, "Why did you scare him when you have nothing to do?"

Bai Erlang's eyes widened and he looked at the two of them in disbelief, "I, I scared him? Didn't I tell the truth?"

Xu An's face turned even paler, and he kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy. He only asked Bai Er to spare his life.

Seeing him like this, Bai Er suddenly became very angry. He always felt that his appearance looked very familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered it. He turned to look at Yin He who was sitting beside him and said, "He looks like you before."

Yin You, who was about to say something nice to Bai Er to expose Xu An, immediately ignored him and didn't say anything. He just looked at him and his face turned red with anxiety.

Bai Shan and Man Bao are not fools either. They can naturally see that Xu An is half pretending, but they know the truth.

Xu Yu died, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.

So Man Bao sighed and stopped Xu An from kowtowing. Seeing that his forehead was bleeding after such a short period of time, he frowned and said, "You don't have to do this. We don't mean any harm. You..."

Man Bao paused, looked at Bai Shan, and finally chose himself to say: "Your sister..."

She said vaguely: "She handed you over to us."

Xu An, who still wanted to kowtow to gain sympathy, was stunned. He looked at Man Bao for a while and then immediately came back to his senses. He lowered his head slightly to collect his thoughts, "Master Zhou is joking. I have been in the palace since I was a child, and everyone in my family is

I don’t remember, how can I have a sister?”

Bai Erlang calmed down, probably remembering his tragic life experience and no longer caring about what happened just now.

Man Bao also fell silent, not knowing how to tell him. After all, she had promised Xu Yu not to tell him before.

Bai Shan looked at her, then opened his mouth and said, "Her name is Xu Yu, you should know that, right?"

Xu Anqiang smiled and said: "Master Bai, please forgive me, Xu Yucai harmed the emperor's grandson, how could she be the slave's sister..."

Man Bao stretched out his hand to hold Bai Shan down, raised his head and said to him: "Xu Yu said that she had a younger brother. When he was about two years old, they were exiled due to the war, and then they were taken in by a family and specially raised in Zhuangzi.

.”

"Those people wanted to train them into craftsmen. Because she studied well, she could visit her brother once a month. Later, she came to the palace. Those people said that as long as she was obedient, her brother would be in Zhuangzi.

Read and be literate, and you will live a good 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 character, she

I will definitely find ways to take care of you in other ways. Have you ever been shown kindness by others for no reason?"

Xu An lowered his head and lowered his eyes so that no one could see his expression.

Man Bao paused and continued: "I promised her that I would take you out and try my best to save your life. His Highness the Crown Prince has already promised to give you to me. In the future, you don't have to listen to what they say anymore."

Already."

She said: "I won't ask you anything about those people. We will just treat each other as if it doesn't happen."

Xu An, who had been lowering his head, began to shed tears one drop at a time. Unlike when he was crying sadly just now, this time, he did not let them see the tears in his eyes, nor did he make any sound.

If they hadn't seen that his knees seemed to be wet, they would hardly know that he was crying.

At this time, even Bai Erlang couldn't help scratching his head and apologized sheepishly: "Okay, okay, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have asked you those questions rashly."

Man Bao stood up, brought the medicine box over and said, "Let me treat the wound on your forehead."

Xu An kept his head down and refused to raise it.

Bai Shan shook his head slightly at Man Bao.

Man Bao no longer forced him and let him collect 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. His eyes were almost full of bloodshot eyes. He asked in a hoarse voice:
Chapter completed!
