Chapter 189 "Tell me, where does this thing come from?"
Emperor Zhengcang was sitting on another large chair made of fine nanmu carvings in the royal study, carefully looking at the small iron box in his hand, and said lightly.
Emperor Zhengcang's study was bright and quiet, but not spacious.
There are pines, cypresses and gladioli bonsai randomly placed on the windowsill, which is lush and green.
Although the study is small, the furnishings are elegant and simple, making up for the lack of space.
The long and narrow interior is divided into two small rooms in the north and south with pearwood partitions.
The large desk is equipped with Emperor Zhengcang's study utensils.
There is a carved nanmu chair for sitting and sleeping.
There is a little paint peeling off on the right side of the armrest.
It must be Often sitting here for a long time can cause this, which shows the diligence of Emperor Zhengcang.
Zuo's father and son looked at each other after hearing this.
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded slightly towards his earth-shaking son who had almost caused trouble in the hall just now, and saw Zuo Chi say: "Your Majesty, do you recognize this thing?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang looked at Zuo Chi in a funny manner, slightly curved the corners of his mouth, and said: "Since you did not hesitate to risk the following reputation, just to let me see it in person, now, without outsiders, you are actually asking me if I know it."
Seeing this, Zuo Chi completely believed what his father said.
Emperor Zhengcang did indeed have a close relationship with His Highness the King of Yue.
He raised his hand and said: "I don't dare.
Your Majesty, since you let me and my father talk alone in this royal study, you must have some suspicions in your heart."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang put down the small iron box he had been holding and glanced at Zuo and his son.
He nodded and said: "That's right, Mr.
Xiaozuo, that's what Dou Ba just said when he confessed his love to me in the hall.
You taught him, right?"
Zuo Chi heard this and was about to respond, but saw Emperor Zhengcang wave his hand casually and interrupt: "You don't need to say more, I know very well in my heart.
Based on the behavior of you guys in the hall just now, I guess that the reason why you had to bring Song Yuqiu's crime to the court and insisted on giving this thing to me .
Don’t you just want to tell me that Song Yuqiu has something to do with this iron box?”
Zuo and his son both nodded when they heard this.
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help frowning when he saw this.
After thinking for a moment he said: "Since this is the case, you don't want to beat around the bush with me, just tell me directly, where does this thing come from?"
Zuo Yuanfeng turned his head and glanced at his son.
Zuo Chi understood, took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, when Wei Chen was investigating the case of the 17 skeletons in Bai'an Village under Heian Town, as the investigation of the case continued to deepen, Wei Chen discovered that the 17 skeletons in Bai'an Village .
It’s all related to the Three Kings’ Rebellion sixteen years ago, to be precise, it’s related to the former King of Yue.”
"Pa" There was a heavy slamming sound on the table.
What sounded was the words of Emperor Zhengcang, who sounded shocked and angry: "Zuo Chi, do you know what you are talking about now?
Your Highness, the former King of Yue, you are so brave."
Zuo Chi immediately said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, this thing is in your hands now.
Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Emperor Zhengcang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the small iron box placed neatly on the table.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "How could it be related to Song Yuqiu?"
When Zuo Chi heard this, he turned over his hand and took out something, placed it on the table in front of Emperor Zhengcang, and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang raised his eyes and saw a delicate and small glass bottle.
He reached out his hand to pick up the glass bottle in confusion, put it under his eyes and looked at it carefully, but he still asked doubtfully: "What's so special about this thing?"
"Back to the Emperor, although this bottle is for royal use, there is nothing unusual about it.
Compared with the bottle itself, what I care about more is the contents of this small bottle."
"Oh, open it and take a look."
Emperor Zhengcang paused after hearing the words, then handed the bottle in his hand to Zuo Chi and said.
Zuo Chi nodded and stepped forward to take the bottle.

He took the newly cleaned small pen from the emperor's desk and washed it.
He made some of the blue color in the bottle come out and pushed it towards Emperor Zhengcang.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang leaned forward in confusion and took a closer look.
After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered this thing he had seen before and said in surprise: "Is this the manifestation of Chongyang Academy?"
Zuo Chi nodded when he heard this and said: "It's the truth-revealing potion that only Chongyang Academy has."
"You are making me more and more confused."
When Zuo Chi heard this, he turned to look at his father.
Seeing Zuo Yuanfeng nodding in agreement, he said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something.
When I arrived at Bai'an Village to investigate the case, I happened to find this small iron box on the seventeen skeletons, which contained exactly this glass bottle.
Not only that, this glass bottle and the bottle The thing contained in it is this manifestation.
Later, when Wei Chen returned to Beijing and asked his father, he learned about the relationship between this iron box and the emperor. " Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang nodded and looked at the blue manifestation and asked: "Why do we need to mention Song Yuqiu?"
Zuo Chi sighed before speaking: "Your Majesty, just now Dou Ba said all the torture he suffered in the Song Mansion.
You heard clearly, but you didn't know that the medicine Song Yuqiu used for testing was just like this."
When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he looked at Zuo Yuanfeng in disbelief.
Seeing that Zuo Yuanfeng had the same expression as Zuo Chi at this moment, he nodded silently without making a sound, so he knew that this matter must be true.
"I understand, that's why you went to Tuzhou and Chongyang Academy."
"What the emperor said is true.
The minister discovered that the contents of the bottle were the special manifestation potion of Chongyang Academy, so he immediately left for Tuzhou and went to Chongyang Academy.
Only then did he discover the secret hidden in Song Yuqiu's house.
This saved Dou Ba," Zuo Chi said in a deep voice when he saw this.
"Your Majesty, Chi'er doesn't know the relationship between this iron box and you.
But after I saw this thing and learned what Chi'er said, I immediately realized that Song Yuqiu had something to do with what happened sixteen years ago. , there must be something related, otherwise, how could Song Yuqiu use the academy's manifesting potion to test it on people, and why would he put the manifesting potion in this iron box?"
At this time, he kept saying The silent Zuo Yuanfeng said.
The father and son sang in harmony, but Emperor Zhengcang had no other thoughts about their intentions.
When he heard the person Zuo Yuanfeng mentioned, Emperor Zhengcang was slightly startled.
Immediately, there seemed to be a hint of sadness on his face due to nostalgia.
Zuo Chi was about to speak when Zuo Yuanfeng immediately pulled Zuo Chi back and shook his head slightly.
The scene in the imperial study room at this time was the same as the scene in the hall when the whole hall was silent just now.
The Zuo family and his son just looked at Emperor Zhengcang, waiting for him to speak.
After a long time, Emperor Zhengcang finally raised his head and said: "The fourth rank of Dali Temple catches Zuo Chi, listen to the order" Zuo Chi was startled, then knelt down on one knee and said: "Wei Chen is here."
Emperor Zhengcang was holding the iron box in his hand, stood up, looked at Zuo Chi and said solemnly: "From now on, I order you to investigate this matter with full authority.
There is no need to make it public, but you must investigate it clearly for me
