Chapter 113 Old Cases
Minzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most can't keep the snow in winter, and the next morning, the sun jumps out red. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info rare sunny weather, but it was cold outside, dripping into ice. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the doctors and nurses moved the reclining chairs and put them on the balcony outside, basking in the sun for Ziyu, and then took the quilt out to dry.
Mu Junyan went to deal with the official documents after breakfast, and after a while, Chen Zhiping came in and knocked on the door: "Seventh Master, Le Zhengkai is back!" ”
Mu Junyan suddenly raised his head: "Okay, you let him come to the study to see me." ”
Le Zhengkai's trip to Qiyang this time can be said to have taken a lot of effort, because the incident happened suddenly, and almost all the subordinates who served in the General's Mansion and the Presidential Palace died that night, and there was really no way to investigate such a headless case. In addition, Qiyang was originally Liu Dahu's territory, and it was impossible to investigate that old thing in a big way.
Le Zhengkai didn't say superfluous nonsense when he saw Mu Junyan, and said straight to the point: "Seventh Master, forgive me, this trip didn't have much to gain." ”
Mu Junyan also knew in his heart, and nodded: "It's hard work." "After all, it's been an old thing for so many years, and if you find it out, it involves a lot, and the five tiger generals at that time and the close ministers around the original president may be involved.
Le Zhengkai arched his hand and said, "I inquired in many ways and found a servant who went home for the funeral at that time, and this servant was a second-class housekeeper in the upper room. It is said that after hearing about this incident, this mother-in-law went crazy, and there was no sign of improvement for more than ten years, and she often didn't even know anyone. ”
"Oh?" Mu Junyan seemed to show interest, and motioned to Le Zhengkai with his eyes to continue.
Le Zhengkai said: "I know that the seventh master doesn't believe it, and his subordinates don't believe it either." Since this mother-in-law can be the second-class steward of the upper room, she must have some ability, how can she be crazy like this, she must be afraid that people will find out that there are still fish that have slipped through the net, so she deliberately pretends to be crazy and stupid. Speaking of this, I saw the look of approval in Mu Junyan's eyes.
He continued: "I had this idea, and I immediately went to find this woman, but I found it without much difficulty. At first, this mother-in-law pretended to be crazy and stupid, and refused to say anything, until I lied to her about Miss Wei's whereabouts, and she suddenly trembled and burst into tears......"
Mu Junyan thought thoughtfully: "So Miss Wei is really alive in the world?" ”
Le Zhengkai shook his head slowly: "She can't be sure, after she said that something happened, a few days later, Miss Wei's nurse went to find her, saying that she had escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, and asked her to borrow a plate to go back to her hometown." The mother-in-law read that for the sake of everyone working together, she pooled ten silver dollars for her. ”
Mu Junyan's eyes burned: "...... say so"
"If you want to know if Miss Wei is still alive in the world, you still need to go to this nurse's hometown!" Le Zhengkai took a sip of the water cup, "Originally, I planned to wait for the investigation to be clear before coming back to the seventh master, but it is a long way to go to Heyuan, and it is the next year again, so I want to wait until the end of the New Year to go, I hope the seventh master will forgive me!" ”
Mu Junyan said: "This is human nature, you can run for me, I already accept your affection." There is no rush in this matter, and it is better to wait until the New Year is over. Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, "How could that nurse be Heyuan?" ”
Le Zhengkai said: "I also felt strange at the time, so I asked more. It turned out that General Wei Lan was saved by General Wei Lan when he exterminated the Boxers in Heyuan, and later married the son of the steward of the Wei Mansion. ”
"The nurse also has a daughter?" Some thoughts flashed through Mu Junyan's mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
Le Zhengkai didn't know why, nodded and said, "Yes, the nurse also has a daughter, and she is about the same age as Miss Wei." A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Seventh Master, do you think it would be the nurse who escaped with her daughter at that time?" ”
Mu Junyan nodded: "It's not impossible, this matter is not in a hurry, you can spend the New Year at home in peace first!" ”
"Good!" Le Zhengkai stood up, "Then, Seventh Master, you are busy, I won't bother!" ”
Mu Junyan said: "It's time for dinner, let's go after eating!" ”
"No, Seventh Master, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are still many things waiting for me at home." Wait for the New Year to come back to you to greet the New Year! Le Zhengkai stood up and arched his hand.
Mu Junyan was full of thoughts now, so he didn't keep him much, and only said: "Okay, I'll go to the Ninth Master to pay New Year's greetings to the Ninth Master in person after the New Year!" ”
Le Zhengkai said: "The eighteenth day of the first month is the birthday of the thirteenth master, and the thirteenth master may come back!" ”
"Really?" Mu Junyan's face showed joy, "When the time comes, I will definitely prepare a big gift and go to congratulate my birthday in person!" ”
When Le Zhengkai left, Mu Junyan paced back and forth in the study alone, just now when Le Zhengkai said that the nurse also had a daughter of the same age as Miss Wei, a thought flashed in his mind, and the more he thought about it at the moment, the more he felt that there was that possibility, and he couldn't be sure for a while, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious.
Chen Zhiping saw that he was irritable, and couldn't help but say, "Seventh Master, the food in the kitchen is ready." ”
"Hmm." Mu Junyan nodded, "Send it to Miss Yun's room, and I'll eat with her!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Zhiping hesitated, "If you have any worries, you might as well say it, let's talk about it......
"Nothing." Mu Junyan waved his hand, "You go out first." He kept wondering in his heart, if it was the nurse's daughter who had escaped, how would he know his nickname?
When it was time to eat, Mu Junyan was still absent-minded. Ziyu watched him eat with one chopstick and no chopsticks, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" Unappetizing today's meal? ”
"Rumors." Mu Junyan raised his head and locked his gaze on her face, "Why are you called Yun Ziyu?" I mean, why did your parents give you the word "ballad"? ”
Ziyu sneered, and wanted to refute him, why did his parents choose the word "Yan" for him? But before she could speak, Mu Junyan said again: "You see, your brothers are called Yun Zirong, Yun Zichen and Yun Ziqian, and their names are all Bao Gaitou, why did they become next to the words when they came to you?" ”
Ziyu said as a matter of course: "Because I'm a girl, my mother said that I don't need to rank with them, and besides, there is already one word in our name." ”
Mu Junyan still couldn't figure it out, he thought repeatedly in his heart that Miss Wei's maiden name was Wei Yaoxue, and there was also a Yao character in it, although the words were different, but the pronunciation was the same, would there be anything involved?
People are like that, once they get into the horns, it's hard to get out.
He asked, "Then why is it a rumor?" Isn't it something else? ”
Zi Yu couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Isn't the rumor good?" What exactly are you trying to say? (To be continued.) )
