Chapter 409 Han Yueying is also dead
Perhaps because he was upset, when all kinds of fabricated evidence emerged and he could no longer defend himself, the handwriting on the letter became much more hurried.
But soon, the handwriting became neat again, as if every stroke was not falling on paper, but carved with a knife or an axe, leaving the last words in this world.
"I am unwilling to accept this, but there is no way to investigate or redress my grievances. My family members are implicated and put in danger. I have no choice but to die to protect the lives of my family. I hope that one day my grievances will be redressed, the traitors will be brought to justice, justice will prevail, and good will prevail over evil. Even if my bones are buried in the spring and my flesh and blood turn to mud, I can rest in peace. This is the last words of Gu Qingyan, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan."
After reading the last paragraph, Jiang Suining's gaze lingered for a long time on the words "Gu Qingyan's last words".
In this life, she rarely thinks of her father.
The only things that left a deep impression on her were probably the dreams she had after that time in the suburbs, and the associated memory of the Beginning of Winter when Shen Yanxi asked her about the wedding date.
She originally thought that after experiencing two lives, she had forgotten many memories, but when she looked at the familiar handwriting at this moment, her eyes blurred until tears fell on the paper. Jiang Suining suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly reached out to wipe them, fearing that the tears would wet the handwriting.
"Ningning." Shen Yanxi was standing next to Jiang Suining. Naturally, he also read the contents of the letter clearly and looked at Jiang Suining worriedly.
The latter said nothing and continued to look at the letter in front of him.
In the previous life, the money was first snatched away by Han Nian'an, and then sold for silver. When she rescued Han Nian'an from living in a brothel and learned about this, she sent people to look for the money, but it was already nowhere to be found.
In this life, she originally just wanted the pen as a souvenir, but she didn't expect that the truth was hidden in the pen.
At the beginning, everything happened too suddenly. My father was suddenly arrested, suddenly confessed his guilt, and was quickly executed.
It's not that she had never thought about her father being wrongly accused, but she was too young at the time and it was difficult for her to fully understand the situation.
Later, the Jiang family and the Han family showed up at the same time. After learning that her father had made arrangements in advance, she began to waver. If her father was really wronged, why did he plead guilty so quickly and even arrange a way out for them?
Later, she became the mistress of the Changning Marquis' Mansion. She sent people to secretly investigate what happened that year, but after several investigations, she did not find any evidence to prove her father's innocence. Gradually, she let the matter go.
So much so that even after living her life again, she never thought of investigating again.
It turned out that he confessed his crime and accepted the punishment for them and their father.
Seeing that Jiang Suining looked more and more guilty, Shen Yanxi reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Ningning, you were too young at the time. It was hard for you to figure out the situation when things suddenly changed. What else could you do when even your father couldn't do anything about it?"
"But..." Jiang Suining had just opened his mouth to say a word when his voice became mostly hoarse, as if something was blocking his throat, and he was choking and unable to speak.
But she was reborn after all!
Jiang Suining took several deep breaths and tried to suppress his emotions. "Shen Yanxi, if you hadn't discovered that the pattern on the pen was wrong, perhaps this letter from my father would never see the light of day."
She brought the pen all the way to the Jiang family, but just put it in the box. Why couldn't she take it out and have a look at it more often? Maybe she could have discovered it earlier.
Jiang Suining's eyes were red and filled with tears. She tried hard not to cry anymore, but the tears still fell from her eyes.
"Shen Yanxi, I probably already believed in my heart that my father was guilty. During the days and nights when he was buried in the ground, hoping for justice and the truth to come out, as his daughter, I already believed that he was guilty."
Jiang Suining choked up and spoke the last sentence with great difficulty.
Those forgotten memories from childhood in the previous life suddenly emerged clearly at this moment.
Jiang Suining felt so guilty that she felt like she was drowning in water, unable to breathe.
Shen Yanxi held her in his arms and patted her back gently.
"Ningning, you don't need to blame yourself for this. If you have to blame anyone, you can only blame those who framed you. The most important thing is that we still have a chance. We can find out the truth, clear up all the injustices, and comfort your father's spirit in heaven."
Jiang Suining leaned in Shen Yanxi's arms. When she heard the words "vindication", her whole body trembled slightly. The next moment, she gently pushed Shen Yanxi away and looked at the letter again.
From the letter, her father found out that the matter involved the royal family. Although the details were not clear, another person was mentioned, who was the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture at that time.
Although he was only a seventh-rank official, many disaster relief arrangements were passed down to the yamen runners through him. He was even the first to report the riots caused by the disaster victims.
Jiang Suining frowned as he recalled.
In her previous life, when she sent people to investigate, she also found this magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, but by then he had been promoted to the fifth-rank prefect.
If she remembered correctly, that person's name should be Feng Yimin.
When this name came out, Jiang Suining was suddenly startled.
If his surname wasn't Feng, this name could be connected to Chu Yishen.
And if this matter is related to Chu Yisheng...
Disaster relief, corruption, promotion, and royal family members!
Indistinctly, it seems that many things can be connected.
Although it was just a guess and there was no evidence to prove that there was a real connection between Feng Yimin and Chu Yishen, Jiang Suining felt that the matter between the Third Prince and Chu Yishen, which had puzzled people for so long, seemed to have finally been solved.
Half an incense stick later, Shen Yanxi left. Now that he had a guess, what he had to do now was to investigate and confirm it.
If you want to find out whether Feng Yimin and Chu Yishen are related, the quickest way is to look at the information recorded by the Ministry of Personnel.
However, not everyone can view the official files of the Ministry of Personnel at will. Fortunately, Pei Zhaozhi has now been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. It is reasonable for him to review the official files on the pretext of investigating a case.
Jiang Suining temporarily put the letter back into the pen. The moonlight was bright in the sky and she couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Xier and Biyun yawned and knocked on Jiang Suining's door.
Today is Jiang Suining's first day as a female official, so naturally she needs to get up early and prepare, and she cannot be late.
However, as soon as they knocked on the door, before they could say anything, the door opened from the inside and Jiang Suining was already dressed.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, looking at the faint blue color under their young lady's eyes, thinking that maybe it was because she was too excited that she didn't get a good rest, so they didn't say anything more, but began to help Jiang Suining to wash and put on makeup.
After finishing her dressing, Jiang Suining had a simple breakfast, said goodbye to Zheng and the others, and left the house.
However, before he could get on the carriage, he received new news.
Han Yueying is dead too!
