I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Yang Mansion.

A secluded courtyard.

This courtyard looked dilapidated from the outside, and almost no one came here. It was a very inconspicuous place. Inside was a relatively intact wing room.

There is a secret room built underground.

Lord Yang is meeting someone.

It was Mr. Yan, the former crown prince’s aide.

“This time, thanks to Mr. Yan’s efforts, the crisis of my Yang family has been suppressed. When the people sent by the Ministry of Xing go to investigate, my nephew Lingyu will also be acquitted. By then, I will ask him to come and thank Mr. Yan in person. You have given him a new life.” Elder Yang said gratefully.

The provincial capital over there has been arranged.

When the Ministry of Justice investigates, the governor who was Yang Lingyu's superior during his tenure as prefect of Huizhou will commit suicide out of fear of crime, and before his death he will confess that he was the one who set the trap for the Song family.

A means of making an official commit suicide.

Mr. Yan and the others can still do it. "Lord Yang, there is no need to do this. We are all serving our lord. We can be said to be in the same boat. If you are in trouble, we will definitely not sit idly by."

In fact, the Yang family is an important part of their plan.

The absence of Lord Yang had a great impact on them.

In recent years, Lord Yang has claimed to be a clean person and he would definitely not openly form cliques for personal gain. While he may gain a high reputation, he will also lose some advantages.

Now the Yang family’s reputation is tarnished.

Once Yang Lingyu is cleared of charges, other rumors will be self-defeating. If handled properly at that time, the Yang family's reputation will be unprecedented in comparison with the notorious Yuan family.

From then on, Yang Ge Lao will have a very high status among literati.

Besides, Yang Lingyu is a cabinet minister. He is definitely not a stupid person to have reached his current position.

"Now the Yang family seems to have the upper hand, but it also has drawbacks." Mr. Yan pointed out the so-called drawbacks.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Ge Lao understood, "No one should care, since it's not someone from my Yang family who came forward."

"Oh, do you think others are upright and noble?"

Mr. Yan glanced at Lord Yang and said, "It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. People will still suspect the Yang family. Not only people outside will suspect it, I'm afraid the one in the palace will also suspect it. Using the Yuan family's affairs to suppress the rumors about the Yang family is not very rational. If people are pushed into a corner, the Yuan family will do anything."

"It's a dead-end situation, why should we show mercy? Even if I let the Yuan family go this time, they may not let me go. Do you know that something seems to have happened in Changchun Palace?"

Lord Yang was worried.

He has been having a bad feeling lately.

Otherwise, he would not have sought help from Mr. Yan.

He always felt that the Yang family was being targeted, and no matter what they did, it seemed to be under the control of others. However, this was only his feeling. He had been deliberately trying to get people to pay attention, but he had not found the end.

Mr. Yan thought about the palace and said thoughtfully, "Are you referring to the sandalwood box that was dug out in the backyard of Changchun Palace? Someone deliberately lured a cat to a peach pine tree and dug out a box. The box is now in the hands of Emperor Mingcheng. Our people can't find out what's inside. We only know that the next day Emperor Mingcheng had people gather together all the people who served Concubine Shu, and then they all disappeared."

"So, it has something to do with my eldest daughter?"

Lord Yang just found out about this.

He only knew that something happened in Changchun Palace and it was sealed off.

I didn't know about the box.

Yang Ge Lao guessed: "Could the things in the box be my eldest daughter's things?"

"It's nine out of ten, and it's still unknown whether it's good or bad." Mr. Yan analyzed.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty had a different attitude.

Perhaps during this period, Emperor Ming Cheng lived and worked as usual. No one was killed in Changchun Palace that night, only a eunuch died in the cold palace.

Mr. Yan added, "I will have people continue to pay attention to this matter. You should stay in the mansion and read more books for entertainment. You should teach the younger generation in your family and do it well for outsiders to see."

This is to let Yang Ge entertain himself and show the character of a scholar. Even when facing difficulties, he can still remain calm and enjoy his grandchildren.

If it gets out, it will be considered as a noble character.

The Yang family's family tradition will be further improved.

If Lord Yang gave people the impression that he was desperate because of what was happening outside, he would be in a bad situation.

The two discussed for another half an hour.

Only then did Yang Ge Lao avoid the sight of the people in the mansion and return to the front yard. He was about to step into the moon gate of his courtyard.

A man came in a hurry.

When Yang Ge Lao saw the person coming, he found that it was his trusted attendant. "What happened that makes you so anxious?"

"Master, it's not good."

The attendant said anxiously. Just as he was about to speak, he looked around and saw that no one was around. Then he leaned close to Yang Ge Lao's ear and whispered, "I just received the latest news. Admiral Feng has been thrown into the imperial prison by His Majesty! And Master Liu has been arrested and thrown into prison again."

"What's going on?" Elder Yang was shocked.

The attendant reported: "Someone saw Master Liu acting like a lord and asking people to serve him. Then the man spread the news and asked if he could also serve like this."

The person I ran into happened to be a scholar.

That writer was a bit jealous, and when he told others about it, many people would not accept it.

The prefect sent someone to investigate and learned that it was the Liu family who bribed the person in charge of the quarry, and a group of people involved in the case at the quarry had already been arrested.

Elder Yang didn't care about the master of the Liu family at all. He glared at the attendant and asked in a low voice, "I'm asking about Admiral Feng!"

The attendant shook his head and said, "I will report to you as soon as I receive the news."

"Okay, go check it out."

Lord Yang quickly sent people to investigate.

Then, he managed to maintain a calm appearance, but his heart was like an ant on hot pot.

Something happened to Admiral Feng?

This was something that Lord Yang had never thought of.

Why did Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty choose to put people in prison at this time?

The Imperial Prison mainly held serious criminals of the imperial court and was managed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The torture in prison was extremely cruel, and many prisoners died because they could not bear it. Emperor Chengdi of the Ming Dynasty put Admiral Feng in the imperial prison, which meant that he did not want Admiral Feng to be released alive. As for how much the Jinyiwei could dig out from Admiral Feng, it is unknown.

What Lord Yang feared most was that the Jinyiwei would dig something out of Feng Ji's mouth.

But, the question still remains, why did it happen at this time when nothing could go wrong?

Something happened in Changchun Palace? Something happened in the Liu family?

Are the three things related?

Yang Ge Lao asked himself that he always thought twice before doing anything, and was so cautious that he would never leave any handle. Last time he helped Liu Yuanshi, it was also because he was very urgent, and Liu Yuanshi's presence was crucial.

After returning to the study, Lord Yang sat quietly for a long time.

Then, whatever happened.

Lord Yang wrote a letter of resignation and submitted it to the palace in order to take a step back and advance.

Of course, this resignation does not mean a real resignation.

It's a temptation.

Use this incident to test the attitude of Emperor Mingcheng.
