359 The Real Murderer?

The Marquis of Shaoyuan lost his beloved son, and after the early dynasty, he cried in the imperial study and asked the Emperor of Chu to severely punish the murderer of his son, and the Emperor of Chu took pity on his white-haired people to send black-haired people, and because of the assassination last night because of King Fu, King Fu escaped his life but was tired of Wen Tianrui died, so he made an exception to appreciate Wen Tianrui's mother as a three-grade lady, and his wife was a five-grade pleasant. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

With the official seal, Wen Tianrui's funeral system was immediately raised, looking out from the Shaoyuan Marquis's Mansion, the entire street was full of white lights, and the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion was full of white flags, Wen Tianrui's wife and concubine knelt in front of the coffin wearing white filial piety, crying hoarsely, and Mrs. Shaoyuan Marquis has been sick in bed since this morning because of the death of her young son.

The entire Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion was in a gloomy fog.

Shaoyuan Marquis looked at the little son lying motionless in the coffin with eyes full of pain, when his first few children were born in the early years, when the old marquis in the house was still there, his father had not set an heir, so he was busy fighting for power and profit with a few brothers, and had no time to estimate the children, and when his position was stable and came back to his senses, several children had already grown up, they respected him and feared him, but they were not close to him, which made him feel regretful in his heart.

Later, his wife died of illness, and he fulfilled his mother's hopes, but he didn't expect that people would have a son after middle age.

At that time, he was ecstatic, named it Tianrui, take the virtue of heaven and earth, Rui Shengzhao, he watched the little child grow up day by day by his side, pet like a jewel, eager to give him all the stars and moon in the sky, he placed great hopes on his youngest son, and even looked forward to one day being able to hand over the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion to Wen Tianrui, but he never thought that his most beloved little son would one day suffer a tragedy.

He clung to the coffin with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face.

"Rui'er ......"

Wen Pengxuan, the third son of Marquis Shaoyuan, looked at Marquis Shaoyuan, who was mourning, and listened to his hoarse voice with red eyes and tears, and the eldest son Wen Minhe also comforted him: "Father should pay attention to his body, Tianrui has been filial since he was a child, if he knows under the spring, he doesn't want his father to be so sad." ”

Marquis Shaoyuan choked up when he heard this, remembering the scene when Wen Tianrui was a child playing coquettishly under his knees, and his heart hurt even more, the child who was raised by him in the palm of his hand, the child who was so high in his hopes, actually died so inexplicably.

There are many powerful people who came to mourn, seeing the appearance of Shaoyuan Marquis who was much older overnight, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and they came forward to comfort him, just when everyone comforted a few words and was about to say goodbye and leave, but they didn't want the gatehouse of Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion to report, saying that His Royal Highness King Ling and His Royal Highness King Xuan came to mourn together.

Everyone is stunned, it stands to reason that although the Marquis of Shaoyuan is divided into marquis, but there is no real power in his hands, Wen Tianrui has no official title, let alone a career, his identity, the visit of the magnates in Beijing is just for the sudden decree of the Emperor Chu after the dynasty this morning, and in their eyes, it is already extremely polite for the prince of the royal family to send a subordinate to come to the ceremony, even if it is to win the hearts of the people, there is no reason to come in person.

Not to mention......

Now no one in Beijing knows, that was originally King Xuan's Fengtian Mansion Yin Lou Yonghan last night in order to prevent the king of Lijun from arresting the assassins, almost fought with the people of the garrison camp, this morning in the court, Lou Yonghan was dismissed by Emperor Chu and imprisoned for this matter, now everyone speculates that Lou Yonghan is so protective of the people in the prison, he must be inseparable from King Xuan, how can King Xuan come to the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion at this time? And with him, it was actually His Royal Highness King Ling, who was the most wanton and reckless and unruly of etiquette?

Everyone who was about to leave slowed down and stayed, and even more so, the people who had originally walked to the door also returned to the Hou Mansion with their feet.

"Father, King Xuan and King Ling ......," Wen Pengxuan looked at Marquis Shaoyuan and hesitated.

There is Wang Yu in the Criminal Department, they know far more than others know, although the three assassins have not confessed, but now they already know that those three people are King Xuan's people, what does King Xuan want to do when he comes to the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion at this time?

Shaoyuanhou's eyes were filled with tears, and his face was gloomy for the next moment, thinking that his youngest son might die in the hands of King Xuan, he wanted to order someone to beat King Xuan out, but he couldn't do it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let them in!" ”

After a while, the butler led King Xuan and King Ling into side by side.

Rong Jing was always too lazy to step forward, Xue Rou ordered someone to put down the funeral, and after putting incense on the spiritual seat, he said to Marquis Shaoyuan: "The deceased is gone, and the Hou Ye also asks for condolences." ”

Marquis Shaoyuan looked at the woman in front of him, knowing that she was the person who had become the head of King Ling's Mansion recently, seeing that King Ling was reluctant to step forward, he remembered the rumor that King Ling gave a return gift to the mansions some time ago, and couldn't help but nod to Xue Rou and said, "Thank you Manager Xue and King Ling." ”

Xue Rou took a few steps back when she heard this, and then saluted Wen Tianrui's wife and concubine.

After Rong Lan saw Xue Rou walking away, he hurriedly ordered someone to step forward and put down the funeral rite, and was about to order someone to take incense and light it, but he didn't want to smell Min Hyuk suddenly dodging in front of Rong Lan and snatching the incense from his hand.

Rong Lan's face tightened: "What does this mean by the eldest son?" ”

Wen Minhe looked at Rong Lan coldly and said with hatred on his face: "The younger brother has no official and no lord, and he can't stand the incense from His Royal Highness King Xuan in person, and the minister thanked His Royal Highness King Xuan for the younger brother, but Tianrui has just passed away, and everything in the house is complicated, if there is nothing else, His Royal Highness will please go back." ”

Who couldn't hear such a clear intention of the expulsion?

When did Rong Lan suffer this kind of anger, but thinking of the current predicament, he clenched the palm under the long sleeves, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and ignored Wen Minhe, but looked directly at the Marquis of Shaoyuan and said: "Master Hou, this king came here today to mourn your son, and secondly, to do other things, I wonder if Marquis Shaoyuan can move and speak?" ”

Marquis Shaoyuan's face was cold: "Benhou and King Xuan have no dealings, and there is nothing to say to King Xuan." ”

Rong Lan's face was ugly: "Master Hou..."

"Okay, Ben Hou has other things to deal with, if King Xuan has nothing to do, please leave, don't send it!"

Marquis Shaoyuan had no intention of listening to King Xuan's explanation, as soon as he remembered that his son died in the royal family's turmoil and became a stepping stone for others for no reason, he couldn't wait to kill King Xuan with his own hands, how could he be willing to talk to him, he ignored a group of people with different expressions, turned around and left, Rong Lan couldn't help but say angrily: "Master Hou, this king knows that you misunderstood me, but don't you even want to know the truth about your son's death, or does Lord Hou want to let your son die so wronged, and let the real murderer get away with it?!" ”

Shaoyuanhou stopped slightly, the expression on his face changed instantly, and just when everyone thought he was going to turn back, they heard him say coldly: "Ridiculous, my son died at the hands of the assassin last night, and the assassin was interrogated in the prison of the Criminal Department, this is the truth." After saying that, he went straight into the inner hall without looking back.

Rong Lan was unwilling to chase after him, Wen Minhe and Wen Pengxuan hurriedly took two steps forward, one left and one right to stop him in place.

Wen Minhe said angrily: "King Xuan, today is the new funeral of my little brother, if King Xuan is not condoling, please leave." ”

Although Wen Pengxuan's face is not good-looking, it is much more gentle than Wen Minhe and Shaoyuanhou, he said to Rong Lan with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness King Xuan, my father was heartbroken by Tianrui's death, and my mother was sick in bed because of this, there are countless people who came to mourn today, we are all tired, His Royal Highness Xuanwang should please go back first, as for what His Highness said, we only believe in the facts, and we will find out the real murderer to avenge him for Tianrui's death." ”

Rong Lan's expression changed slightly, he turned his head and glanced at the people in the hall, and sure enough, he saw that everyone else was looking at him, he was anxious but he also knew that he couldn't break in, otherwise if the matter of making trouble in the mourning hall of the Marquis of Shaoyuan was spread, he would not only not be able to explain what happened last night, but even make everyone more suspicious, he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, then the king will leave first." ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and looked unwillingly at Shaoyuanhou, who had disappeared behind the hall, and turned to leave.

The others saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all said goodbye one after another, but the rumor that King Xuan visited the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion today and said that he knew the truth about yesterday's assassination was finally spread because of these people, and the news that the Shaoyuan Marquis Mansion and King Xuan were incompatible made those who knew the identities of the three assassins in the prison of the Criminal Department secretly happy.

After everyone left, Wen Minhe continued to greet the follow-up people who came to mourn, while Wen Pengxuan went inside to meet the Marquis of Shaoyuan, who had just left.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the back hall, the whole person was stunned.

He looked up at a man and a woman standing side by side with a look of surprise on his face: "King Ling, Chief Manager Xue, why are you here?!" ”

Rong Jing leaned lazily on the chair, raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Pengxuan, and then lowered his eyes directly, with a little unhappiness on his face, but Xue Rou sat quietly on the side, and stood up with a smile after seeing Wen Pengxuan and said, "Wen Sangongzi." ”

The two of them did not have the slightest embarrassment after trespassing into other people's mansions and being caught, but their expressions were indifferent as if they were in their own mansions, which made Wen Pengxuan have the illusion that they were waiting for him here.

Wen Pengxuan's heart sank, he suddenly remembered that after King Ling came today, in addition to the initial appearance, after Xue Rou said a few words of comfort, because of King Xuan's sudden words and actions, everyone's eyes fell on King Xuan, but no one paid attention to where King Ling and Xue Rou went, and then when King Xuan left, and the people who gathered in the mansion to watch the excitement also left, no one saw King Ling and Xue Rou again, and he, like everyone, thought that they had already left with the others, But who would have thought that they would avoid the people in the mansion and enter the inner hall of the Hou Mansion in a grand manner.

He said with an unsightly face: "What do you mean by the two of you entering the back hall of the Hou Mansion without the consent of the main family?" ”

Xue Rou smiled faintly: "Third Prince Wen doesn't have to be angry, King Ling and I are here to discuss things with Third Prince Wen." ”

"What?"

"I have a little matter with the prince and I want to ask Wen Sangongzi to do me a favor."

Wen Pengxuan frowned slightly, and when he heard this, he refused directly: "I'm afraid the two of you are looking for the wrong person, in this Hou Mansion, it is my father who is in charge." ”

Xue Rou suddenly said this: "Of course I know that it is the Marquis of Shaoyuan who is in charge of the Hou Mansion, but at the moment, the Hou Ye is exhausted for the death of the fifth prince, and the prince and I are not good at disturbing the Hou Ye, I heard that the third prince is the most filial to the Hou Ye, and I must not want to see the Hou Ye work for other things in addition to the pain of losing his son, right?" ”

Wen Pengxuan listened to Xue Rou's words with a little smile, and looked up at the woman in front of him suddenly, but saw her cold eyes looking at him lightly, and the cold gaze seemed to be a sharp blade through his heart, as if he wanted to see through all his secrets, he quickly retracted his gaze and subconsciously refused:

"Manager Xue is inevitably too exalted by Wen San, Wen San does care about his father's body, but I have no right to interfere in everything in this house, even if there is no father, there is still a big brother to cook, how can it not be Wen San's turn to ask, if there is really something wrong with the prince and Manager Xue, it is better to go to the front to find my eldest brother, I Wen San is idle and useless, I am afraid I can't help you anything."

After finishing speaking, Wen Pengxuan directly arched his hand and wanted to leave, obviously not wanting to say much to Xue Rou and the others.

Seeing this, Rong Jing sneered: "Nothing? This king didn't know that a person who had achieved nothing could secretly gather people, train secret guards, raise singers to confuse his brother, and finally ruthlessly arranged for people to take advantage of the chaos to end his brother's life, and then blamed the assassin who assassinated the king of fortune in an instant, but he pushed it all away? ”

Wen Pengxuan's heart was shocked, he raised his head violently and looked around, and when he found that there was no one around, he glared at Rong Jing and said, "King Ling, what do you mean by this?!" ”

"Don't you know what this king means? It's that Wen Tianrui who probably didn't know until he died, and it was actually his own brother who had always been a brother and friend with him, right? ”

Wen Pengxuan said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, Tianrui is known to have died at the hands of assassins, not to mention that I never went to the official ship last night, you don't want to slander me!" ”

Rong Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Pengxuan with a smile: "Is it, it turns out that the woman named Feiyan that this king caught was not sent by you?" Forget it, this king will directly hand her over to the criminal department, or directly hand it over to the Marquis of Shaoyuan, maybe he will prepare a generous gift after seeing it, and thank this king for finding the real murderer for him, so as not to make him think that his son is really backing King Fu! ”

Wen Pengxuan's expression changed greatly when he heard Concubine Yan's name, he looked at Rong Jing and said, "Concubine Yan is in your hands?!" ”

Rong Jing's thin lips lifted lightly and smiled coldly, although he didn't speak, but the smile was so straight that Wen Pengxuan's heart was cold, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he saw Xue Rou, who had been silent just now, suddenly took two steps forward and said lightly: "Wen San Gongzi is sure that he wants to talk to us about Concubine Yan here?" ”

Wen Pengxuan hurriedly said, this is the back of the mourning hall, although very few people come, but who can guarantee that there will be no ears on the wall, not to mention that there are many people coming and going in the mourning hall, once this matter is heard by others, everything before him is over.

Wen Pengxuan gritted his teeth and looked at Xue Rou and Rong Jing: "What do you want?!" (To be continued.) )
