Chapter 80: Huo's Secrets
This trip to Liaocheng was full of dangers, first attacking, assassinating, and then temporarily accepting secret orders, which was really thrilling and could not be stopped for a moment. www.biquge.info In the past, Su Cen always felt that life far away from his homeland was particularly exciting, and even he was assassinated several times, these Su Yuan knew that over time, a tacit understanding was formed: Su Cen didn't ask, Su Yuan didn't say. And these, Su Chi will not know, she is the pearl of the Su family, the most dazzling woman in Jinling, they only wish her to smile like a flower, as for those fights and conspiracies, that is the world of men. After experiencing assassination again and again, Su Cen was about to get used to it, until this time the horse was mistakenly killed by the gangsters as his father, Su Cen finally broke the convention and asked his father: Where did these killers come from? Is it Your Majesty, or King Yu, or King Qinghe?
Su Cen had made many guesses, but what Su Yuan hinted at was the one that Su Cen didn't want to know the most.
Su Yuan's spirit was not very good that day, he was wearing a coat to play chess with his left hand and right hand, and when he heard Su Cen's question, he turned his face with a smile, "Azen, it's not a good habit to deceive yourself, you have checked a lot over the years, don't you know anything about it?"
Suzen almost took a step back, that is, that is, he guessed right, these killers are not from Jinling. In the several assassinations that Su Cen experienced, the assassins were vigorous and sharp, while the warriors of the Yan Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms were famous for their great courage and bravery, and their weapons were often the scimitars of the Hu people. Did the buyers of Jinling hire people from the Southern Qi Dynasty, or did the two collude with bad intentions?
Su Yuan won't talk about it anymore, he plays chess alone, both comfortable and casual, Su Cen silently withdrew, and the doubts in his heart have not decreased. Su Yuan knew that he was investigating, was this rhetorical question a warning, or a laissez-faire?
Suzen's question had not been dispelled, and another rare matter had been handed to him.
Just a few days after Su Tingzhang left Liaocheng, the attendant in charge of taking care of the room presented a painting to Su Cen through Zhou Cong.
The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on the painting, which made the woman in the painting a little brighter, but Su Cen, who was holding the painting, frowned tightly, her face was like water, and she looked at it for a long time.
Zhou Cong stood aside, he couldn't help it, and called tentatively: "Childe?"
"It doesn't matter. Where did you find it?"
"Found in the bedroom where Captain Su stayed, Captain Du left in a hurry, and he didn't even bring the danqing on the table. ”
"Tell me to keep this matter shut. You go to check Achi's mother Huo's life, but don't let go of anything that can be found, see if you can find her portrait back then, and then check to see if she has anything to do with Su Tingzhang. Then check the old servant who took care of the funeral back then, see if there is anyone in the coffin, and remember that this matter cannot be known to anyone, especially my father and Ah Chi. Suzen's hand covered her temples, and the painting in her hand was an out-and-out beauty, although her hair was a little messy, but her eyes were like red waves in autumn water, seductive. The bridge of the nose and the beads of the lips are very similar to Su Chi, but this is not Su Chi, the woman in the painting is not young, I am afraid that she is already a mother, or even a grandmother, how can it be Su Chi? But why is it a little similar? Is this Huo's sister's close relative? Or is Huo not dead at all? If Huo is not dead, does Su Yuan know or not? What is the relationship behind all this?
Su Cen thought for a while and then ordered, "Tomorrow, Achi Sacrifice Mother, you let people go with you." "It's about Suchi, it's not a big deal to be careful.
Su Cen's order surprised Zhou Cong, and he went behind Guogong's back to investigate the Duchess Guogong, and the prince seemed to be overstepping. In addition, Su Chi has always disliked people to follow him the most, so Zhou Cong opened his mouth and said, "The girl has always disliked ・・・・・・", and the second half of the sentence was never spoken, and she was defeated in Su Cen's cold eyes.
Zhou Cong has been waiting for Su Cen for a long time, not a person who has never seen a big scene, but he is still calmed by his eyes. Su Cen's slightly raised gaze was familiar, and that look was very similar to Su Yuan's anger, cold, sharp, and confusing.
Jinling, Jin Garden.
It was already late at night, but Jin Lanqi was sitting alone in the garden, which was a good scene for the moon to drink alone. It's a pity that his wine is down one by one, and the hand holding the cup seems to be unstable, and he actually spills his head on the front of his clothes, and he is indescribably lonely and depressed in the moonlight.
The housekeeper beside him was already persuading: "The head of the family has sent news that Beiwan has taken their eldest prince back, and the eldest prince intends to take the heir, and he also asks the prince to fully cooperate." ”
"It's just a dou who can't hold up the wall, what chance can he have if he fights with Ning Lizhen? They just want to tie me up here. But my father thinks too highly of me, and I'm just a lounge rice bag, so this kind of big thing about worrying about the country and the people is really not suitable for me. Jin Lanqi was dressed in red, and he looked even more uninhibited when he drank.
"Childe misunderstood the head of the family, Childe is the sister-in-law of the Jin family, this time it is all for my Nanqi, and in the future, when Childe returns to Nanqi, no one will dare to underestimate him. ”
"If I didn't want to be a hostage, who would still think of me as a sister-in-law? The Jin family is loyal and patriotic, and naturally I don't dare to damage the prestige of the Jin family. Jin Lanqi raised the wine jug and poured it down with the last sip, which was similar to the usually wanton and arrogant him.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore, if my father has the energy, it is the right way to set his sights on Nanqi. Throughout the ages, no country's strength has been completely dependent on external forces, and no one can do anything if they don't fight for their own strength, and it is really a matter of giving up their roots to fish in troubled waters from Beiwan, okay, you go down!" Jin Lanqi felt that she was really playing the piano to Niu when she said these words, if her father was willing to listen to it, she would be trapped there until now.
The housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, but he still said tentatively: "The secret agent has spread the news, King Yu is afraid that he is going to marry the county lord of the Fu family, and Princess Rong Nobunaga has already responded." ”
Jin Lanqi's hand was stunned, and the wine jug had already smashed to the butler's feet: "Don't test me with these irrelevant people and things, who wants to marry, who wants to marry, what does it have to do with me?"
The housekeeper seemed to be so frightened that he didn't even have time to clean up, so he hurriedly retreated.
Jin Lanqi looked at the moonlight in the garden, looking at his hometown from afar, where there is a home, there are relatives, there are insects and frogs chirping in the dead of night, why is there no moon at night?
Is it just that it has to be so tight? Is there nothing else but use?
Liaocheng, study.
After Su Cen finished practicing his sword in the courtyard, the genius was bright, and Zhou Cong handed him the handkerchief, took his sword with his hand, and inserted it into the scabbard. Su Cen is used to practicing for a while every day, and when he is free, he often has half a day, even if he is not free, he has to squeeze in half an hour.
Zhou Cong changed Su Cen's clothes while lowering his eyebrows and said, "The girl went to the Huo family a few days ago, and the Huo family is indeed no one, leaving only a few old servants to guard the garden. ”
"Ah Chi went to the Huo family's garden?" Ah Chi has no mother since he was a child, and it is normal for him to come to see the place where his mother lived when she was a child. Originally, Su Cen should have go, but he had a biological mother, Su Yuan didn't mention the matter of letting him go to worship the Huo family, and Su Chi didn't mention it at all, so Su Cen planned to reach a consensus so quietly.
"No, the girl went directly to the cemetery, and came back directly after the worship. Zhou Cong's tone was very slow, and it didn't sound like there was anything wrong.
"So, that's all you have to tell me?" Su Cen knew that Zhou Cong had always cherished words like gold, and since he had said it, it must be focused.
Sure enough, I heard Zhou Cong say: "The person guarding the cemetery is an old woman, who is old, and said a few words that I listened to. The girl didn't defend herself, but came back in a hurry after the incense. ”
"What did you say?" Su Cen thought that Su Chi always had a lot to say in the place of his grandfather, whom he had never met, so Su Chi came back early, what did the old servant say.
The girl withdrew from the crowd, because no one could hear it truly, but said that the words were very indulgent and abusive, and the girl did not punish the old servant. ”
"You don't know where else to use your brain?"
The subordinate wanted to start from the old woman, but he didn't expect the girl to bring it back, so he asked Si Fu to arrange a place to live. It's not easy for subordinates to interfere, so it's better to go back to Jinling and find an appropriate time to start thinking again?"
"Confused! Since she is the person she protects, she can't use any more means, the Huo family's affairs can only be secretly visited, not overt, and even her father's side can't leak the news. ”
"The subordinates have investigated the affairs of the Huo family in the past few days, but there is a clue: since the death of the Huo family and his wife, the close relatives of the Huo family have almost died in various ways within three years, and now the Huo family has almost disappeared in Liaocheng. ”
"What? gone, but artificial?"
"It's been too long, and I haven't found much of it, but there is an old rumor that when the Huo family was repairing the ancestral house, they alarmed the gods, so they sent down to heaven. ”
"Keep investigating, if you haven't found your whereabouts, you don't have to. "Who did the Huo family offend? My father has a deep love for the Huo family, and he loves the house and Wu, so he will naturally protect the Huo family, so who can tear open the umbrella of the Su family and bring the Huo family to this point, and the father is helpless?
Zhou Cong responded silently, Su Chi and Su Cen came back, and even Yan Zhi followed, but the personal guards did not know and disappeared. Su Chi said that he left the valuables behind, and Su Cen didn't poke it when he heard it, and he didn't ask more after a few words.
