You can use the following system chaincode to query the ledger. It is used to query the peer and it also has a 
number of queries related to blocks.

Hope this helps!

To get the historic data of the chaincode, you can use the ChaincodeStubInterface API.

This retrieves entire histroy for a given key. It is iterative and so you can see the changes made for the 
given key.

Look at the following example:

historyIer, err := stub.GetHistoryForKey(yourKey)

if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(errMsg)
    return shim.Error(errMsg)
}

if historyIer.HasNext() {
    modification, err := historyIer.Next()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(errMsg)
        return shim.Error(errMsg)
    }
    fmt.Println("Returning information related to", string(modification.Value))
}


To make this work, you have the set the value of "enableHistoryDatabase" in core.yaml under the ledger section
as true as shown below:

ledger:

 history:
    # enableHistoryDatabase - options are true or false
    # Indicates if the history of key updates should be stored.
    # All history 'index' will be stored in goleveldb, regardless if using
    # CouchDB or alternate database for the state.
    enableHistoryDatabase: true

Can we query ledger using the transaction ID?
You can not query ledger using transaction ID with shim API but you can do it at application level using SDK.

You can use shim function and query it using the transaction key. 

GetHistoryForKey(key string)
