Chapter 291
The autumn sunset is less brilliant and more gentle.
Its brilliance is already very cold.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial City Division is even colder than the sunset that is obscured by the lush branches and leaves of the big-leaved banyan!
A great commander Zheng Wang stood in front of the eldest grandson Jinghong with a pale face, he looked at the corpse in the coffin on the ground, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish them!"
The eldest grandson Jinghong did not speak.
Since Zheng Wang sent Miao Qiufen's corpse to the present, it has passed a stick of incense.
He didn't say a word.
Didn't ask a word.
He just kept watching.
I looked at it with a frosty face.
The last rays of the sunset disappeared into the sky, and the curtain of night was slowly pulled over.
Shang Xunfang, the commander of the second department, silently lit the air death wind lamp hanging on the tree, and then saw Mr. Changsun suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
The eldest grandson finally looked away, he looked at the darkening night, and then at the dim lamp.
He turned around and sat on the chair, silently counted his breaths, and then asked, "In other words, Xi Wei, right under your noses, pretending to be an old seedling and running away?"
Zheng Wang still bowed, "Lord Hui, that's exactly the case!"
He didn't prevaricate in the slightest, he had many reasons, but he didn't say a single one.
Because it doesn't help to say it, Xi Wei is indeed gone.
The information that Miao Qiufen finally sent back, this is the easiest opportunity to find out who Xi Wei is.
But this opportunity was wasted by his own carelessness.
Not only did it waste a great opportunity, but it also led to the death of Miao Qiufen because of it.
Zheng Wang's heart was like a knife, and he was ashamed.
"In this way, our Imperial City Division is not a piece of iron bucket. ”
The eldest grandson stroked his long beard and said, "Lao Miao's identity, no one knows except for a few of you commanders!"
"You go down, let the old man accompany Lao Miao again. ”
Zheng Wang bowed: "My lord, my subordinates will definitely catch that spy out and bury Miao Lao!"
"Hmm...... This matter, wait for the deputy to come back and listen to how he arranges. ”
“...... Subordinates obey!"
......
......
When Li Chenan and Wang Zhengjinzhong returned to the Imperial City Division, it was already the end of the day.
The Imperial City Division in the middle of the night is more like a Yama Palace.
The lights in the courtyards and pavilions everywhere are still on, but no sound can be heard, and there are occasional people walking with lamps on the path, and their footsteps are silent.
In the black night, people dressed in black are walking on the black road, and there is a floating lone lamp.
Li Chenan felt that it was even colder here than in the valley of Xishan.
Especially when he saw a pitch-black coffin next to the eldest grandson Jinghong, he even felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
Of course, the eldest grandson Jinghong would not put such a coffin for no reason, so by the dim light, he saw the body of the old man dressed in black lying in the coffin.
At this moment, Wang Zheng Jinzhong had already identified it.
He was taken aback and looked at the eldest grandson Jinghong in amazement.
The eldest grandson sat up, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" go and ask the kitchen to get a few dishes to accompany the wine, and let's have a drink." ”
Wang Zheng Jinzhong left, and the eldest grandson Jinghong raised his eyes and looked at Li Chen'an, "An old friend, and also an old man of the Imperial City Division...... Sit. ”
Li Chenan sat down.
The eldest grandson Jinghong looked at the coffin again and said:
"Everyone who does our business, from top to bottom, must know one thing when they come in!"
"That is the person who is born in the Imperial City Division, and the ghost who is the Imperial City Division in death!"
"Stepping into this Hades Palace, don't be nostalgic for the world anymore. ”
"His name is Miao Qiufen, the former commander of the second place...... He is the only one of the seven commanders of the Imperial City Division who does not know martial arts. ”
"His background is a bit complicated, and no one knows about it except the old man. ”
"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, before the incident of going to the Chehou Mansion, he was the chief housekeeper of the Chehou Mansion!"
"In the spring of the second year of Zhaohua, the lord of Yun'an and Qiao Zitong got married and moved to the plum garden, and Miao also went to the plum garden on the autumn equinox and became the chief housekeeper of the plum garden. ”
"He was a modest, low-key, extremely learned man...... I used to have a very good relationship with your grandfather Li Chunfu...... At that time, your grandfather often went to the plum garden, boiled tea with Miao Qiufen around the stove, and talked about poetry. ”
"Later, that incident happened in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, Miao Qiufen was one of the few people who escaped from the plum garden, and he had no way to go, or he didn't want to go if he had a way. ”
He came to the Imperial City Division and worked as a clerk for the old man for three years. In those three years, he did not leave the Imperial City Division for half a step...... Of course, he had rarely been seen in Kyoto before that. ”
In this way, the old man asked him to be the commander of the second department...... He said that he was the commander, but in fact, the people of the second place only knew his name, and very few people even met him, because he broke his legs, changed his name and surname, and pretended to be a beggar in Kyoto for three years!"
"He saved the life of Ji Tai's eldest son under the arrangement of the old man, and he is the general Ji Anji who is now guarding Tai'an City. ”
In this way, he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and gradually became Ji Tai's confidant, which also made many people think that he was Xi Wei. ”
This is a deep memory that belongs to the old man in front of him.
Li Chenan listened very carefully, not only for his respect for this old man, but also for hearing some stories of the Imperial City Division.
For example, this old man named Miao Qiufen who was lying in a coffin, he put the rest of his life on the only thing-
Uncover the face towel of the curtain!
For the Marquis Mansion, avenge the Lord of Yun'an!
And as the supreme leader of the Imperial City Division, the same has been done by the eldest grandson Jinghong over the years, but he is to avenge Queen Lu!
He talked for a long time, until Wang Zhengjinzhong brought the wine and food on a tray, and he sat down at the table, so he didn't talk about the past.
"Pour the wine...... Lao Miao is alone in this life, he was betrayed, this matter needs to be investigated, you are personally responsible for investigating it!"
In addition, his grave is also buried on the mountainside of Shuiyun Mountain, so that the two lonely old men can also have a companion for each other. ”
Regarding the investigation of the person who betrayed Miao Qiufen, Li Chenan was very happy to respond, but he was slightly surprised by the fact that Miao Qiufen was buried next to Sun Tiexian's tomb.
He poured a glass of wine for the eldest grandson, Jinghong, and asked, "The two plates of pig tails in front of Old Man Sun's grave were placed by you, my lord?"
The eldest grandson Jinghong did not deny it.
He spilled the glass of wine in front of Miao's coffin.
"Sun Tiexian...... He is actually called Changsun Iron Line. ”
"My own brother!"
Li Chenan was taken aback.
"The person who knows about this, besides Fan Taohua, you should be the second. ”
"I kill, he saves. ”
"I killed many people who deserved to be killed, and he saved many people who should not be saved!"
"He used to like to drink, and his confusion was the best in the world, and he was invited to drink a lot of wine by a man...... Many people died in Kyoto that night!"
"That night was the third day of October in the third year of Zhaohua!"
"That night was full of fog in Kyoto, and the confusion was full of waiting for the bus!"
