Chapter 32: Who is the murderer?
"Sir! What a miserable death you had! If you go, what will our mother and daughter do! There was a cry in the backyard of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Qian, Mrs. Wei and Jia Mei sat in the lobby to discuss, and when they heard the shouts from behind, Mrs. Wei was immediately angry.
"Grandmother, grandson go and see." Wei Qian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Hongchun to go. I saw Aunt Liu with her daughter Wei Ling burning paper behind.
When Wei Qian saw it, her expression turned cold: "Auntie, where is this from?" β
Aunt Liu choked with sobbing, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and the second lady next to her, Wei Ling, also had red eyes and couldn't stop crying. "Miss, I can't help it, the master left like this suddenly, how can I live without our family!"
Aunt Liu was heartbroken, and kept patting her chest: "My sister who is suffering from life, my lord is leaving, what can you and I do!" β
Wei Qian's silver teeth were bitten, and she couldn't see Aunt Liu pulling her mother to speak. Suddenly, I smelled a faint spicy smell, remembered what happened to Jia Daishan at the beginning, and immediately reacted, and sneered: "Don't worry about it, auntie, go back and stay well." My aunt just needs to take care of my sister, and if you mess around again, I don't mind helping you discipline her. β
Wei Ling kept her mouth shut, Aunt Liu had warned her early before she came and didn't let her speak. Seeing that the previously gentle eldest sister's face was cold, she hid in fright.
It was Aunt Liu, as soon as she heard Wei Qian's words, she immediately sat on the ground and played a scoundrel: "Master, look, as soon as you left, your eldest daughter was disrespectful to me, an elder." Where will we live as a mother and daughter in the future? I'll take Ling'er and kill her head, and I'll go down to find you. β
"Shut up!" Wei Qianfeng's eyes were cold, and her evil anger was exposed, and Aunt Liu couldn't help but shiver.
"If you really care about your father, why don't you go to the palace with me tomorrow to play the drums, and let those adults help my father find the murderer."
When Aunt Liu heard this, her momentum immediately weakened.
"I know what you think, don't worry, my Wei Mansion is not a lord who can't tolerate people. Since you gave birth to a younger sister, then you will have to eat a bite of food in the future Wei Mansion. And you-"
Facing the other aunts peeking next to him: "If you don't want to leave, the Wei Mansion will naturally accommodate you." Now that your mother and grandmother are busy with your father's death, they can't take care of you, and you don't want to stir up the water in the backyard, or you will be sent to the nunnery to pray for your father's blessing when the time comes. β
No one in the courtyard dared to answer, lowered their heads, quietly, and could hear the needle dropping.
"What are you still doing in a daze, and you still don't send your aunt back to the house?" Wei Qian frowned, and ordered the people around her to help Aunt Liu up, and accidentally, the handkerchief fell at Wei Qian's feet.
Looking at the handkerchief, Wei Qian said softly: "Auntie, you are an elder, you have to look like an elder, if you can't cry, forget it, my father is not bad for your tears, who is the chili powder for?" β
At this time, Wei Ling couldn't help but rub her eyes and cried again.
Wei Qian saw that something was wrong, and said to the woman in blue next to Wei Ling: "Mother Wu, you are your sister's nurse, and you won't stop your aunt from messing around?" Just let the adults use these chili powders, how old is my sister? Chun'er, you go and take the second lady to wash her face first, and then send it to the young master. β
Wei Ying is seven years old and has begun to know about personnel. But in the end, he couldn't support the overall situation, Jia Mei didn't let him show up, and let him concentrate on reading with Mr. in the study. But at this time, where did he have the heart to study?
sighed at the gentleman, and the gentleman invited by Jia Mei also knew about the changes in the Wei Mansion, so he thought of a way to use the deeds of ancient celebrities to try to solve it.
"Speaking of which, Childe's surname is Wei, do you know who is the most famous person in the Wei family?"
"General Wei Qing?"
"Yes, that Wei Qing was born as a horseman, and finally worshiped Da Sima. Da Sima, do you know? It is the current military department book, which is in charge of military power and official residence. He lost his father when he was young and supported the family by himself, so he later had the saying that there were five marquis. β
"I understand what Mr. means, I am not interested in reading, but prefer to dance with knives and guns, and it should be a military attache in the future. But my sister said that at present, military attachΓ©s are not reused, even if they want to engage in martial arts, they must read and write, and at least mix a name. β
"Not bad." The old gentleman invited by Jia Mei had some skills, pinching his mustache and head: "What the eldest lady said is reasonable." If you have the name of lifting people, then you can use your father's legacy to be a five-grade petty official. If there is any more fighting, it can go further. β
After a pause, the old gentleman looked around, and saw that there was no one around and said to Wei Ying: "It's not sir, I'm talkative, although the eldest lady is not inferior to a man in terms of knowledge, but after all, she is a daughter." In today's era, can there still be room for a martial queen? Not to mention, the eldest lady still has a bad fate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about marriage again in this life. In the future, I need your brother to take care of it. β
Wei Ying pursed his lips, he was sensible early, and he understood some things in the family since he was a child.
"Especially when your father just left, you are the only man in the family, and you must work hard in the future."
"Students understand." As he spoke, Wei Ying picked up the textbook again, and the old gentleman saw it, and took the opportunity to continue to talk about the history of the Han Dynasty and the classic stories of the Han Dynasty.
Soon, Hongchun sent Wei Ling over. The old gentleman saw that he couldn't lecture today, so he simply got out of class early and asked Wei Ying to take care of Wei Ling.
β¦β¦
In Nanshan, Wei Qian hurried to the Doumu Temple after settling down in the backyard.
Xuanyun was practicing swords in the courtyard, thinking about the sword skills that he had traveled and learned not long ago.
"Senior sister, do me a favor!"
"Why are you here?" The nun saw Wei Qian dressed in plain clothes: "The festival mourns and changes." "The change in the fortune of the Wei Mansion is in the eyes of these monks, but the number of days is like this, and they can only watch quietly.
"Please ask Senior Sister to help track down the murderer, I can't trust the people of the court anyway. A third-grade officer said that he would be assassinated? Wei Qian sneered: "Could it be that my father got some news, and someone is afraid of threatening him?" β
The same words are also said in the Daming Palace.
The saint slapped the table angrily: "A third-grade master said that he would assassinate him, and it was Wei Yan who died today, does he want me to die violently?" Come on, check for me, I want to see who is so rampant! β
The following Shangshu looked at each other, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department stiffened his head and wrote: "Qiyu Majesty, this matter, Huizhou has already sent the results." said that General Wei was killed by a sword, and the murderer could not be found at all, Xu was committed by a passing ranger. β
"Passing by the Ranger? Do you believe that? The saint laughed angrily: "A ranger attacked the court officials for no reason? β
"This shows that Wei Yan's personal morality is at a loss, which attracts revenge from others." The waiter of the criminal department hurriedly spoke, leaving the situation away from his own criminal department.
Suddenly, a sneer came: "What a personal virtue is lost, so dare to ask Lord Gu, what is General Wei's shame?" What did the Criminal Department find out? Or, what is the saying on the side of the Huizhou Thorn History? Ahead, a man dressed as a county king opened his mouth and turned his head: "Qian Shangshu, is this how your criminal department investigates the case?" β
"This ......" Qian Shangshu glared at the subordinates behind him, and said in a deep voice: "General Wei has been an official for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be some enemies-"
"Your Majesty, according to the past records of the Ministry of Officials, General Wei did not have any bad achievements, but seized illegal salt in these years, and rewarded him every year." The official secretary did not go forward or backward and interjected.
As soon as these words came out, many people present scolded in their hearts.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department glared at the old opponent viciously: What are you afraid of! The people in the criminal department are not stupid, why can't they get the results, and they don't dare to investigate?
In front, a prince's body shook slightly, and he secretly scolded the officials for being troublesome. It doesn't matter if you go to the Criminal Department Shangshu to trouble, don't get involved in the Jiangnan Salt case, this is to eradicate the wings of the main hall?
Even the crown prince has a wrong complexion, and his hands and feet in Jiangnan are not clean. If you really investigate, you will inevitably be as hurtful as Lao Wu.
"Father, when the seventh brother went down to Jiangnan, he was also attacked, and the criminal department also couldn't get results, maybe it was a group of people?" The prince smiled: "In this way, it is still unfavorable for the Criminal Department." "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not his person anyway, so he just stepped on it and changed another henchman.
"Not bad." The fifth prince also hurriedly spoke: "Why can't the Criminal Department get results, could it be that this assassin is implicated in the Criminal Department?" β
When Qian Shangshu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty." This matter has nothing to do with the minister, when the Seventh Highness had an accident, the minister was not a secretary of the criminal department. β
"It's not the Criminal Department, it's Dali Temple?" The seventh prince said lazily: "When the palace was killed, let you give an explanation, but as a result, there were two parents and officials in Huizhou, and no one gave the palace an answer." General Wei has an accident today, will there be another Jiangnan member tomorrow? β
The saint did not speak, and quietly watched the quarrel below.
Obviously, there is a problem on the Jiangnan side. But who's messing around? Is it the crown prince? Or the five princes with the help of the Zhen family? Or the third prince and the fourth prince who didn't speak from beginning to end?
As for the Seven Princes, they were excluded early because they were killed at the beginning.
"Enough!" The saint waited for a while, silently observed the expressions of the people below, and after knowing it in his heart, he ordered a messenger to go south, and at the same time made arrangements for Wei Yan's afterlife.
"The Ministry of Rites drafted a case and gave Wei Bo a nickname, which was set at the first rank of the earl and the second rank of the official position. As for his family...... "The saint thought about it, but he couldn't think of it.
At this time, a scholar came out: "Wei Yan's wife is the daughter of the former Zhongding Gong, and according to the custom, she should be crowned with an edict." β
Jia Daishan?
The sage recalled the old minister: "This girl is a hard worker, her father died in the past, and now her husband is gone." "Wei Yan has worked diligently in the past few years, and he could have been promoted a long time ago. It's just that the sage couldn't find anyone to insert Jiangnan for a while, and he refused to give up his position to his sons, so he kept pressing Wei Yan.
I originally thought that when the officials were transferred next year, he would be transferred to the military department, but who would have thought that such a thing would suddenly happen?
The saint felt a little guilty in his heart, so he said, "Then follow the custom and give a county lady the title." I remember he had a daughter? In the past, if you have made meritorious contributions to controlling floods, you should give you the title of a township king. "The sage originally wanted to give the position of the county monarch, but after thinking about it carefully, he still pressed it.
The title cannot be lightly sealed, Jia Mei lost her father and lost her father, but Wei Qian is not married yet!
However, when the sage remembered this incident, he moved the idea of marriage. However, turning back was just dispelled by Daoist Zhang of the Taoist Division. Zhang Qingyuan entered the Dragon Court as a saint's confidant because of Jia Daishan's relationship, and he had his own favor for Jiafu. Not to mention that Wei Qian is also a cultivator. Zhang Qingyuan understood that Wei Qian had the intention of avoiding outsiders under the name of the marriage contract, so he tried to dispel the idea of being a saint.
"Wei Yan died in the line of duty, and the Ministry of Rites intends to take me to mourn."
In the end, the saint was ashamed, if he had transferred Wei Yan to the capital earlier, maybe there would have been no such thing.
Give Wei Yan enough respect. Generally speaking, the emperor ordered people to mourn at least the important ministers of the country, Jia Daishan. Now Ken is for Wei Yan, to put it bluntly, because he was assassinated.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Qian Shangshu of the Criminal Department secretly complained in his heart: "This is not good, the fifth prince is obviously inseparable from this matter, do you really want to confess him?" β
The courtiers had different thoughts, and then left from the Xuanzheng Palace.
β¦β¦
Nanshan, Xuanyun agreed without saying a word, Wei Qian's face was slightly pale: "Hongchun, if someone comes to ask, you will say that my senior sister and I are helping my father pray for the spirit, and there are no outsiders." β
"Yes." Hongchun raised her head, and the two of them disappeared, only the empty courtyard and the tall mango tree next to it.
"This is the Immortal!" In a few years, the red tree completely adapted to all kinds of miracles in the Doumu Temple. But it's a pity that she hasn't started yet, and she is going around at the door of cultivating immortals, which shows the difficulty of the immortal path. Wei Qian is a special case in the end, and Xuan Yun is a genius like no other.
Hongchun is a little older, and he has just caught the sense of qi in two or three years, and he is not too bad among the people in the Doumu Temple. According to Xuan Yun, it took them more than five years to enter the Tao back then, as long as Hong Chun worked hard, she should be better than them with her current results.
"Presumably, Miss's cultivation should be extraordinary, right? No wonder you can feel the cold arrogance in Miss's heart, this is the confidence that strength brings? β
Weili belongs to himself, does not rely on his parents, does not rely on his husband, Wei Qian can live well even if he breaks the door. Therefore, she is confident, confident, and generous, and doesn't care about some subtleties at all. On weekdays, when I meet with the ladies of those official eunuchs, I don't care about the intrigue of those people. was stabbed in front of him and didn't bother to find the field back, and was secretly said to be "a fat man with a wide heart and a fat body".
"I'm afraid this is all child's play for Miss, right?" And this also strengthened Hongchun's mind to become an immortal, and she didn't want to be directly left behind by Wei Qian. "I'm still young, and I can still work hard. The top priority is to kill the red dragon and lock up the essence. β
β¦β¦
Xuanyun took Wei Qian Yukong to the place where the accident occurred. Looking at the sparkling river, the two silently cast spells and calculated.
But Wei Qian is impetuous, where can he calculate anything?
"Senior sister, we cultivators are the most taboo about the loss of the Dao heart, this is the easiest opportunity for the demon to invade, junior sister, please be cautious." Xuanyun saw that Wei Qian's expression was excited, and his heart was unstable, so he secretly reminded him.
Wei Qian was slightly stunned, closed his eyes, and a wisp of purple qi on his body surrounded him like a dragon and a snake for three weeks, and gently exhaled a breath of miscellaneous gas, and the jewel light between his eyebrows directly killed the approaching Phaseless Heavenly Demon.
Wei Qian opened her eyes again, and her eyes were calm: "Senior sister, thank you." My father was assassinated, and I was in a state of turmoil, so I rely on you here. "Knowing that his divination technique is not easy to use, he simply handed it over to Xuanyun.
Xuanyun cast a spell and deduced, with a difference behind a stick of incense: "No, your father's death is not simple, it is related to the cultivator, this is someone who tried to deceive the heavens, etc., there are traces of dragon qi, related to the imperial court fighting for dragons?" β
