Ji Yujiao's expression was momentarily surprised, but soon returned to normal.

Wei Qian handed the portrait to the maid beside him, "Take it to Master Ji." ”

The maid cautiously glanced at Ji Yujiao before stepping forward to take it and presenting it.

Ji Yuzai slowly unfolded the portrait, watching the familiar eyebrows appear in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

After looking at it for a long time, she covered the painting, "What does Master Wei mean by showing me this painting?"

Even Cui Ning saw the change in Ji Yuzai's feelings, and never thought that she would be able to deny it calmly at this point! Cui Ning couldn't help but hold her breath and wait to see how things would develop.

"News came from Xingzhou that a surviving maidservant from Sijiazhuang was found. Wei Qian was not in a hurry to dismantle her, but said, "Everything in this world is inextricably linked, follow the clues, and one day the truth will be revealed to the world, but it is just a matter of time or time, and at that time, the development of the situation will not be controlled by anyone." Master Ji thinks about it, I won't bother you later. ”

Cui Ning saw him get up, and he also stood up.

Ji Yuzai sat still, with a smile on his face, but with a faint hint of sadness, "Lord Wei really lives up to his reputation. ”

Wei Qian didn't pause and walked straight out.

Cui Ning thought that Ji Yuzai was going to say something, so she paused in place for two breaths, but saw her lowering her eyes and taking a sip of tea slowly.

She hurriedly raised her feet to chase Wei Qian.

Outside, the rain became heavier, pouring down the eaves.

Fortunately, the verandah of the Ji Mansion leads to the gate, and there is no need to hold an umbrella.

Cui Ning glanced up at Wei Qian, and found that his lips were pursed, his jaw was slightly constricted, and his whole face was tense, and he looked very bad.

This time, she didn't ask, but thought carefully about what Ji Yujiao had just said. Wei Qian is not the kind of person who will be unhappy because he is suspected of being a murderer and does not confess, it must be because of what Ji Yuzai said.

But what did Ji Yuzai say that provoked him?

Fang Cai's dialogue was basically Wei Qian's words, and Ji Yu's words were very few, and none of them sounded like they could anger others.

Is that......

Cui Ning was stunned, remembering that Ji Yuzai said, "Lord Wei really lives up to his reputation", did he indirectly admit that what Wei Qian said was true?

She thought about it seriously, and it wasn't until she got into the carriage that she had a little eyebrows, "Fifth brother, doesn't Lord Ji know about Zuo Rin?"

At that time, Wei Qian talked about Zuo Rin's exposure, and Ji Yuzai was surprised for a moment, as if he didn't know it at all. Thinking back on the case, it can also be explained why when Ling Wei died, the stargazing platform hung a cinnabar flag pointing directly at Chen, this is because the murderer thought that Chen was the culprit of Si's murder case.

"Perhaps. Wei Qian said.

Cui Ning still couldn't figure out why he was in a bad relationship, "Did the fifth brother find something?"

She met Wei Qian before taking Chen Yuan to Huxin Pavilion in the afternoon, and at that time she just said hello in a hurry, and she cared too much about his expression, when he came back from outside.

"Zuo Rin has a young son, named Zuo Chen, who is talented and intelligent, and learns from his strengths. Wei Qian looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and his voice was deep, "Si Yanling said that the right side of the river was flooded, and the imperial court sent people to overhaul the embankment, and Zuo Chen was also one of the officials sent to the south of the Yangtze River. ”

At that time, Zuo Chen only received an official position that was not in the stream, and he followed the past to accumulate experience.

The closest place to the dam being washed away is called Meizhen, and Zuo Chen happened to follow Shangfeng to survey the river and overhaul the embankment in that section. Some survivors who experienced the flood said that Zuo Chen was a very handsome young man, with a good temperament and talent, and he was soon well known by the people of Meizhen, and everyone called him Zuo Yulang, and some little ladies often followed him "Yulang" and "Yulang".

The day before the dam burst, someone asked Zuo Chen if there would really be a flood, and the young man said with a smile, "As long as the dam does not collapse, how can there be flooding." ”

In the evening, Zuo Chen remembered that he saw a section of the newly repaired embankment during the day, and because he left in a hurry from the peak, he had to follow it, and he didn't check it carefully, so he was a little uneasy, so he put on his coat and went to check it in the rain.

I never came back.

"He died in the flood?" Cui Ning asked.

Wei Qian said, "The flood broke through the embankment in the middle of the night, and he went out in the evening, how could he die from the flood?"

During that half a month, the precipitation continued and the water level rose rapidly, but if the embankment was firm, there would not have been a severe flood even in the second half of the month.

On the night when the Meizhen dam collapsed, lightning flashed and thunder, and heavy rain poured down, until the water rushed over, and people were still asleep.

"So, the destruction of the dam was man-made?" Cui Ning felt a chill down his spine, how could anyone be so mad as this!

Zuo Chen didn't die of the flood, then he must have seen something that shouldn't be seen when he went out for maintenance in the rain, and he was killed!

What could he see? It is conceivable that someone was breaking the embankment, and he was young and impulsive, and went up to stop it.

Zuo Rin held a grudge because of his son's death, and deliberately approached Si Yanling, and after killing him, he obtained those "handles......

In this way, the truth about Si Yanling's prophecy is about to come out.

He has so many officials in his hands that he can manipulate them to do things for himself, and he will not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of lives to achieve fame and status.

This kind of person, death is cheap for him!

Ji Yuzai must know about this, otherwise why didn't she report to the official for fear that others would know?

"Fifth brother didn't ask Ji Yuzai, is he afraid that she will ask you not to make a noise about this matter?" Cui Ning asked.

Wei Qianwaner, "Silly boy." ”

Cui Ning flattened his mouth, "I'm not stupid." ”

"She's not qualified to negotiate with me. He uttered it in a declarative tone, as if the truth were in his hands.

Cui Ning felt that it was really natural for him to say this, and asked again, "Then why are you unhappy?"

Wei Qian was stunned for a moment, and a smile slowly darkened his eyes, "You see I'm unhappy?"

Cui Ning noticed the change in him, and immediately said proudly, "Of course." ”

Her small appearance, if she had a tail, she could be lifted to the sky at this time.

Wei Qian couldn't help but feel amused, "I'm not happy because some people are careless of human life because of their own selfish desires, and there are people who do everything possible to conceal it for their own interests, in my opinion, it is just as hateful." ”

"Fifth brother, I like you the most. Cui Ning sighed.

This sentence hit Wei Qian's heart like thunder on a dry day, deafening, and caught him off guard. He said, "That's all you like?"

The voice is a little hoarse due to the dryness of the throat, but it is very good.

Looking at each other, Cui Ning only felt that his gaze was very different from usual, and his eyes, which were originally black and white, became much softer at the moment, like a calm and waveless pool, attracting people to fall into it. R1152
