Chapter 531: Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences
Xie Yingmian found a suitable angle.
From this angle, you can clearly see that there is a word engraved on the bronze mirror.
"There is a word engraved on this bronze mirror."
"This word looks like..."
"seal up!"
"Yes, it's a seal."
Xie Yingmian pointed at the writing on the bronze mirror and said, "Aye, Chen Tingsi, look, from this angle, there's a seal engraved on this bronze mirror."
Yu Lingye and Shen Tingsi looked from the same angle as Xie Yingmian.
Sure enough, I saw the word "封" which was almost worn out and could not be seen.
Shen Tingsi stood up with a bang: "Which inn are these mother and son in?"
Xie Yingmian was startled: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Tingsi said anxiously: "Send someone to protect them, and it would be best if they could be brought back to the Six Punishments Department."
"Too many coincidences are no longer just coincidences."
"They might be insiders."
Xie Yingmian: "Someone who knows?"
Yu Lingye: "The first generation of bronze mirrors were sold in very small quantities. A small mirror the size of a palm could be sold for five hundred or even eight hundred taels. Only the aristocracy could afford such a high price."
"The first generation of bronze mirrors was sold just twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, the only family with the surname Feng who could afford this kind of bronze mirror was the Minister of War, Feng Yankai."
"That mother and son might be related to the Feng family."
Shen Tingsi: "Aye is right, they may have key clues."
"They are in a dangerous situation as well."
Fortunately, Xie Yingmian asked Doctor Qian the name of his inn.
She told Shen Tingsi the name of the inn.
"After Sui Sui captures the man in black, please keep him alive and tell me as soon as possible. Please." Shen Tingsi couldn't wait to leave.
In the house.
Xie Yingmian held up her chin and said, "People say there is no such thing as coincidence. This is indeed an excessive coincidence."
"Are there any survivors from the massacre?"
Yu Lingye: "After the Minister of War's family was exterminated, the government recovered a total of 236 bodies."
"But according to the Six Criminal Department's secret investigation, there should have been 238 people in the Minister of War's Mansion, and two bodies are missing."
"The Six Punishments Department sent many people to search, but they couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time."
"Because it rained heavily that day, the rain washed away all traces. It was also late at night with thunder and lightning, and there were no witnesses. This case has become an unsolved case."
Xie Yingmian: "What are the identities of those two people?"
Yu Lingye: “Not sure.”
"There are many members of the Feng family, including many maids and servants. No one can recognize them all except those from the head of the Feng family."
"The exact number of people in the Feng family found in the investigation is a secret of the Six Punishments Department. The number of people in the Feng family announced by the Six Punishments Department is consistent with the number of deaths."
"The Six Punishment Department did this to protect the two possible survivors."
"I know this by chance..." Yu Lingye stopped talking when he said this.
Xie Yingmian was listening intently, and when she saw Yu Lingye hesitating, her eyebrows raised.
"What coincidence?"
Yu Lingye had a complicated expression.
He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Feng Qing is considered one of the survivors of the Feng family."
"Ah?" Xie Yingmian didn't expect it to unfold like this.
"Didn't you say you're unsure of the identities of the two missing people? How can you be so sure Feng Qing is a member of the Feng family?"
Yu Lingye said, "This is a long story."
"About three months after the Feng family was exterminated, someone left an abandoned baby at the gate of the Shangjing government office. The baby was swaddling clothes made of fine materials, and also had Feng family belongings on it."
"After the government servants found the abandoned baby, they immediately reported it to the Six Criminal Departments and the Dali Temple."
"The Six Criminal Law Department and the Supreme Court speculated based on the swaddling cloth and jade pendant that she was a member of the Feng family who had survived by chance."
"Feng Qing was very weak at the time. She would have died if she had been placed in the orphanage."
"A royal doctor who had a good relationship with Feng Yankai adopted her and named her Feng Qing. Feng Qing had a natural talent for medicine and studied medicine from a young age. She later became a female doctor at the Imperial Hospital."
Xie Yingmian rested her chin on her hand and tapped her cheek lightly: "It's a bit strange."
"The person who placed Feng Qing at the gate of the government office deliberately used a swaddling cloth made of exquisite fabrics and placed a token of the Feng family. This clearly wanted people to believe that Feng Qing was a member of the Feng family."
"What does this person want?"
"The murderer who wiped out the Feng family must be an extremely vicious person. If they knew that the Feng family still had descendants, they might wipe them out completely. Exposing Feng Qing's life story so openly like this, isn't that putting her in danger?"
Yu Lingye: “Indeed.”
"Logically speaking, this behavior would put Feng Qing in danger."
"But in fact, for a long time, people from the Six Punishments Department and the Dali Temple stayed by Feng Qing's side, trying to catch the murderer who came to eliminate the root of the problem."
"Because the Six Criminal Departments and the Dali Temple were always watching, the murderer didn't dare to act rashly, and Feng Qing grew up safely."
"The person who left Feng Qing at the gate of the government office may have anticipated this possibility. Compared to hiding everywhere, this method is actually safer."
Xie Yingmian looked into Yu Lingye's eyes and said in a low voice:
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, where did you hide Feng Qing and Yu Meng?"
