270 Carry the black pot on your back
In the garden pavilion of Guo's mansion, Li Weiyang gently peeled a citrus and sent it to Mrs. Guo. Princess Ali sat on the side with her cheeks crossed, looking bored.
Mrs. Guo took the citrus and looked at the scene on the opposite lawn with a smile. I saw Director Guo dressed as a horse, and Li Minzhi rode on his neck, shouting with a smile: "Drive, drive, brother, run!" The nurse followed and ran nervously around. These days, Toshiyuki's personality has become more and more lively, and he has returned to his usual appearance, smiling when he sees people, and he is no longer the little boy who was autistic and doesn't like to talk. He especially likes to be with Director Guo, and every time he touches him, he holds on to it. It's no wonder that Director Guo has a very cheerful personality and is likable to children, or he was born a child king.
Li Weiyang looked at the deep smile on Mrs. Guo's face, and couldn't help but say lightly: "Mother, Minzhi is being taken care of so well now, you have put a lot of effort into it, I am truly grateful." β
Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "Silly boy, what is there to thank your mother." Toshiyuki is your adoptive mother's son, just like my child. β
Li Weiyang smiled, and his eyes fell on Guo Dao and Minzhi in the distance.
Min Zhiwu's eyes rolled around, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!" Director Guo immediately stopped, bent down, Minzhi slid over from Director Guo's body, walked over with short legs, ran over quickly, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, why didn't the princess sister come today?" β
Princess Ali said loudly, "Toshiyuki, am I not here? Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mrs. Guo, who smiled slightly: "Minzhi asked Nankang, she went out early this morning to make incense." β
Since Nankang was widowed, he has been sullen. So Concubine Guo Hui asked the emperor for a decree to let her temporarily live in Guo Mansion to distract herself, although this is unreasonable, but the Duke of Qi is Concubine Guo Hui's maiden home, and Nankang is a widowed princess, who cares about her in particular?
In the first half month of living in Guo's house, Princess Nankang was almost restless day and night, and her shape was broken. Later, after Mrs. Guo's explanation, she was much more cheerful, and occasionally she was willing to go out for a walk, but only to go to the temple to offer incense.
Li Weiyang didn't think much about it when he heard this, so he smiled and said, "Since it's incense, why don't you go with us?" β
Mrs. Guo shook her head lightly and said, "This child's personality is getting more and more dull now, she only answers one sentence when I say ten words, and sometimes I don't know how to comfort her." β
Li Weiyang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "The princess is still young, and she will figure it out one day." β
Having said that, Princess Nankang married a husband like Wang Yan, although Wang Yan is now dead, but the rumors all over the city have never stopped. Princess Nankang is under a lot of pressure, and she is no longer the innocent girl she was at the beginning.
Although Li Weiyang is happy to see her grow, if this growth comes at the cost of a painful life experience, it is too cruel.
At this moment, Min Zhi suddenly pulled Li Weiyang's skirt, Li Weiyang lowered his head, only to see Min Zhi smile and say: "Sister, let's go to the market another day, just now the fifth brother promised me to take me with me." β
Li Weiyang looked at Director Guo, who patted the dust on his body and walked over in stride. He said with a smile on his face: "You ghost spirit, you know that you are pestering your sister!" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "In two days, it will be the most famous temple fair in Dadu, let's go and have a look." "The so-called temple fair is just a market, but because it is located in the capital, the scale of this market is also larger and more lively.
Director Guo nodded and said, "Okay, just go and relax, just take Nankang with you." β
When Princess Ali heard this, she suddenly widened a pair of watery eyes and said, "I'll go too!" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, where did Guo Dun go?" Why didn't you see him early this morning? β
Li Weiyang looked at Princess Ali and smiled: "Maybe the fourth brother went out to run errands." She felt a little strange in her heart, since he was cut by the emperor, Guo Dun has been thinking about it behind closed doors and rarely goes out, but why did he go out without a sound today?
Several people were talking and laughing, and suddenly saw Zhao Yue hurriedly walking in from outside, she saw this scene, a trace of anxiety flashed across her face, but she had to reply: "Miss, something happened!" β
Li Weiyang saw that Zhao Yue was sweating profusely and his face was anxious, so he couldn't help frowning lightly and said, "What's wrong?" β
Zhao Yue glanced at Mrs. Guo, but she was very worried, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say a word.
Li Weiyang immediately realized the severity of the matter, and at this time, Guo Cheng had already walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Yue, this matter can't be hidden for long, you sue them!" β
Zhao Yue knew that she couldn't hide it, so she said with some anxiety: "Just now there was news from outside, saying that Wang Guang, the second son of the Wang family, was killed in another courtyard. β
Li Weiyang's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "You mean Wang Guang?" β
Zhao Yue said in a low voice: "Yes, it is indeed the second son of the Wang family." β
Princess Ali's mouth opened slightly, almost in disbelief, and then said, "This ...... How could it be! β
Guo Cheng's face was heavier than ever: "What's worse is that everyone is spreading that the person who killed Wang Guang is the fourth brother!" This time, our family is going to suffer a big disaster! β
Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, and the citrus in her hand rolled on the ground with bones, covered with dust. Minzhi didn't understand anything, he just picked up the citrus and sent it back to Mrs. Guo, but his little hand was raised for a long time, but Mrs. Guo was no longer able to take care of him, so she only lost her voice and said, "Cheng'er, what did you just say?" β
Guo Cheng's eyes were worried, and his face was solemn: "Mother, Jing Zhaoyin has already arrested the fourth brother as a suspect in killing Wang Guang!" β
Mrs. Guo's heart ached, her eyes went dark, and her whole body immediately softened, and the maidservant next to her exclaimed: "Madam, Madam, are you okay?" β
Li Weiyang hurriedly supported her, and saw that she was just too anxious for a while before she passed out, so he carefully handed her to the maidservant: "Don't help my mother go back quickly!" The maidservants answered, and then helped Mrs. Guo back. Li Weiyang immediately ordered the nurse to take Minzhi away, then he turned around, looked at Guo Cheng and said, "Does my father know about this?" β
Guo Cheng nodded: "I have already reported to my father just now, and he personally went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to inquire about the situation, and news will come soon." β
Li Weiyang slowly sat back on the stool, Director Guo glanced at Guo Cheng and frowned, "Why did the fourth brother kill Wang Guang?" There's no reason for that, huh? β
Guo Cheng sighed: "Whether there is a reason or not, Wang Guang is dead, plus the old grudges between the Guo family and the Wang family, I'm afraid this matter can't be good." β
Li Weiyang didn't panic too much, and she would feel strange if Empress Pei stopped here, but the other party moved too fast in this matter...... She subconsciously glanced at Princess Ali, only to see that her eyes were straight, completely stunned, and she didn't seem to know how to react at all.
Li Weiyang sighed and said, "In this situation, I can only wait for a while, and it is best to let me meet the fourth brother." β
Guo Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "No one is allowed to visit now, but I will think of something." β
Li Weiyang nodded, glanced at Princess Ali, and said in a low voice: "Princess, we can't take care of you at this time, please go back and rest by yourself." β
Ali had a rare blank look on her face, and her beautiful eyes were also out of focus, as if she was about to stand up, but for some reason her hands and feet were all weak, she subconsciously pulled Li Weiyang's sleeve and said, "Jia'er, will Guo Dun be okay?" β
Li Weiyang shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know either." After all, this incident came very suddenly, and even she didn't expect Guo Dun to be involved in a murder case, not to mention that the person who was killed was still the son of the Wang family. She believed that after Wang Yan's incident, Guo Dun already knew that he would not do such a reckless thing, not to mention that Wang Guang was gentle and elegant, with a gentle personality, and could almost be said to be indisputable with the world, no matter what, it was difficult for people to believe that the two of them would draw their swords against each other.
They were talking worriedly in the gazebo, and Princess Nankang came from a distance, but her face was pale, as if she had been frightened by something. Li Weiyang stood up, greeted him, and said gently: "Princess, you are back." β
Princess Nankang seemed to be startled, raised her head to look at Li Weiyang, and said with some horror in her eyes: "Oh, Sister Jia'er, it's you." β
Li Weiyang heard her strange tone, and couldn't help but look at her again. Seeing that she only brought a palace maid with her, she just smiled and said, "The princess wants to go out to offer incense, why don't you go with us." β
Nankang's face became even paler, and he muttered: "I accidentally blew the wind when I went out just now, and now I have a headache, I want to go back and rest first, and I'll tell you about other things." β
Before Li Weiyang could say anything, he saw that the palace maid had already helped Princess Nankang to leave quickly. Li Weiyang looked at her back and couldn't help frowning slightly, Nankang looked a little strange today. Director Guo walked to Li Weiyang's side and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
Li Weiyang's gaze stopped at Nan Kang's back: "I just think Nan Kang is a little strange today, fifth brother, you can ask the groom later to see where she went." β
Before Li Weiyang's words fell, he heard the maidservant report coming: "Miss, His Royal Highness King Xu has arrived." β
Yuan Lie was dressed in a riding and shooting suit, and his anger was rarely fixed on his handsome face, and he was dressed in a wind drum robe, and his black hair was not tied up, and he was about to fly, and he also carried a longbow on his back, obviously hurrying back from hunting in the suburbs. When Li Weiyang saw him like this, she immediately understood something, and she whispered, "You have already gotten the news?" β
Yuan Lie nodded, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line: "Now that this matter is all over the city, who else doesn't know?" β
Director Guo had a glimmer of hope in his heart: "How much does His Royal Highness King Xu know about this matter?" β
In Yuan Lie's eyes, a divine light dimmed and became deeper and deeper: "I only know that when Wang Guang was resting in the other courtyard, he was broken into by your fourth brother for some reason, and the two had an inexplicable dispute. Soon after your fourth brother left, they found that Wang Guang had been killed in the house, and he was wounded by a knife......"
Li Weiyang looked at him intently, and doubts appeared on his face: "In this way, the truth of the matter has to wait for Jing Zhaoyin to investigate." β
Yuan Lie seemed to have a lock between his eyebrows, and said: "It's really confusing now, I really can't figure it out, what reason Guo Dun has to kill Wang Guang!" After all, Wang Guang's personality is indifferent to fame and fortune, he has no quarrel with the world, and he has never had a direct conflict with your fourth brother, even if it is for Wang Yan's sake, he should not fall into such a situation. β
Li Weiyang thought of Wang Guang's indifferent eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "Wang Guang's personality shouldn't have been involved in such a thing. β
After the incident, everyone was quietly discussing, it can be said that Wang Yan's matter before he was at fault, and the Wang family is not easy to blame Guo too much, but this time Dun Dun actually killed Wang Guang for no reason. Wang Guang is very different from Wang Yan, who has a short temperament and bad popularity, and his reputation has always been very good, so when he died, all public opinion fell to the Wang family. Everyone understands that although Wang Qiong has always had a very generous personality, he will certainly not be able to tolerate Guo's behavior. Under the spread of well-intentioned people, gossip spread all over the sky, and Mrs. Guo was worried day and night, and she fell ill for a while. Qi Guogong was also very anxious, he had always been calm and did not appear during the meal for three consecutive days, which showed how irritable he was. These days, he has been convening the Guo family's staff to discuss the matter. But no matter what ideas these people have, they can't act rashly, because Empress Pei and the Wang family, all eyes are watching their every move.
Because he couldn't visit, Li Weiyang didn't know what happened that day. She thought about it, the only way to do this was to learn about it from the Wang family, but how could they come to the door now? Li Weiyang was holding a teacup, his thoughts had already flown far away, and he was in a leisurely trance, but suddenly heard Zhao Yue come to report: "Miss, Princess Nankang asks to see you!" β
Li Weiyang was stunned, she was busy investigating Guo Dun's affairs in the past few days, and she didn't care about Princess Nankang at all, she thought about it and said, "Please let her in." In an instant, I saw Princess Nankang walking in from outside the door with a haggard face.
Li Weiyang looked at her as if she fell down as soon as the wind blew, and couldn't help frowning. A few days ago, Nankang's body and mood were already much better, and his face was ruddy, why did he become so thin in the past two days? When she thought of Guo Dun, she subconsciously felt that Nankang was bothering Guo Dun for her affairs, but soon she remembered one more thing. Li Weiyang remained silent, just stepped forward and said with concern: "Princess, why is your face so ugly, but your body is uncomfortable?" Do you want to ask a doctor to check your pulse? β
Princess Nankang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, don't bother!" It's just that I haven't had a good appetite and can't sleep for the past two days, so I'm a little haggard, and it's not a big deal, so don't alarm the doctor. β
Seeing her uneasy look, Li Weiyang was no longer reluctant when he heard this, but just ordered Zhao Yue to serve tea, and then said softly: "The princess suddenly visited, but is there anything wrong?" β
Princess Nankang showed three points of hesitation on her face, but after all, she bit her lip, almost biting the pale lip flap to bleed, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there any progress in Cousin Guo Dun's matter?" β
Li Weiyang shook her head, and then saw Princess Nankang's disappointed look on her face, her heart moved, and she said softly: "Princess, I only let go when I heard you care about the fourth brother so much, I originally thought that if the fourth brother really killed Wang Guang, how would you resent him......
Princess Nankang seemed to be taken aback, looking at Li Weiyang, her mouth was wide open, and she was almost speechless.
Seeing her dumbfounded appearance, Li Weiyang just smiled lightly, and seemed to say casually: "Her Royal Highness the princess once told me that she was very fond of that Wang Guang, but after so many things, is the princess's mind still the same as always?" β
Princess Nankang's heart froze, and she subconsciously said: "Sister Jia'er, you misunderstood, I'm just worried about Cousin Guo Dun's affairs, as for Wang Guang...... I don't think about him anymore. Although Wang Yan has a lot of mistakes, he is my husband after all, and Wang Guang is his brother, how can I do such a thing that goes against human ethics? As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes. She didn't want to lose her temper in front of Li Weiyang, so she turned her face away, and didn't turn back until she blinked all the tears in her eyes, looked at Li Weiyang and smiled reluctantly, stood up and said: "I know you have a lot of things, so don't bother, if there is anything that Cousin Guo Dun needs my help with, please be sure to sue me." β
Li Weiyang saw it in his eyes, a thoughtful smile appeared on his lips, and he didn't force the other party, but just got up to see her off. When she walked to the door, Princess Nankang suddenly stopped, looked at Li Weiyang hesitantly and said, "The Wang family is doing a funeral these two days, I want to ......"
It was really a dozing off to someone who sent a pillow, Li Weiyang smiled and said: "The princess is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, although Wang Yan has done a lot of wrong things, this layer of identity will not change." Of course you want to go to the Wang family to mourn, but it's just ......" Li Weiyang said halfway, but countless thoughts turned in his heart, and before Princess Nankang could react, she had already continued, "It's just that you can't be accompanied by no one by your side." Well, I'll go with you. β
Nankang's heart jumped, and he looked at Li Weiyang and seemed a little incredulous: "At this time, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the people of the Guo family to go." "It will definitely intensify the contradictions......
Nankang can think of this layer, which shows that she is not too stupid. Li Weiyang smiled lightly as usual: "The princess doesn't have to worry about this, no matter how angry and angry the Wang family is, they won't beat me out in public." She said that her tone was very relaxed, but Princess Nankang was worried, but the matter had come to this, and she had nothing to do, and if she was allowed to go to the Wang family alone, she felt that something was wrong. Li Weiyang took the initiative to ask to accompany him, which was naturally the best. Princess Nankang thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and prepare, let's go to condolence early tomorrow morning." β
Li Weiyang nodded and watched Princess Nankang leave. Zhao Yue came in with hot tea at this time, and when she saw that Nankang had already left, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the princess sit for so long and have to leave?" β
Li Weiyang said lightly: "This is to ask herself, why did she show such a strange look when she mentioned Wang Guang and Guo Dun." β
Zhao Yue became more and more puzzled, she didn't see anything unusual, she just felt that Princess Nankang had been unusual, if Mrs. Guo and Qi Guogong were so worried about Guo Dun's affairs that they couldn't swallow three meals, then what was Princess Nankang for?
Li Weiyang stood at the door and thought about it, but said to Zhao Yue: "Go and tell King SΓΉ Xu, and ask him to find someone to pay more attention to the movements of the major families in Beijing." β
Zhao Yue immediately responded, put down the teacup and turned around and went out.
Li Weiyang looked at the rain falling outside, his eyes became meaningful, and now Empress Pei is pressing step by step, refusing to relax at a step, so it's okay, let her see what kind of tricks the other party can use.
The rain continued overnight and did not stop until the next morning. In the dense rain, the carriage of the Guo family came to the gate of the Wang family, and everyone at the door put down their things and looked at the carriage. Some of the guests who had just walked to the door looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that the Guo family dared to come to the door at this time. Thinking so, they watched this qiΔ happen with an expression that was almost hilarious, and their eyes were full of mockery.
Li Weiyang turned a blind eye to the eyes around him, his expression was only faint, and he said to Princess Nankang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, let's go in." β
Princess Nankang was a little apprehensive in front of everyone, and her steps were a little stiff, she glanced at the two people around her, Li Weiyang and Guo Dao were both calm, and they had not been affected by the outside world at all, she couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart, these two people were really calm, and they didn't care about anything! On the other hand, I would be too out of shape. She settled down, and then she took the lead in entering the Wang family. The Wang family has already arranged the flag, as soon as you step into the door, you can see the high flag planted in the courtyard, fluttering in the wind, taking its lingering meaning, which means to lead Wang Guang's soul to return with this fluttering flag. Li Weiyang stood in front of the big banner that was three or four feet high, and just sighed softly.
The funeral steward said loudly: "Princess Nankang has arrived!" Guo Gongzi, Miss Guo is here! β
Such a voice was heard, all the way through the courtyard, and a shadow fell on everyone's heart. The situation in the courtyard was exactly the same as at the gate, the relatives of the Wang family, and the servants who were busy, all looked at everyone in the Guo family with a very strange look, and even the monks who were originally chanting stopped at all. In the silence, Wang Qiong had already come out of the crowd. He looked at the people of the Guo family, his face became cold, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You are not welcome here, please leave as much as you want!" β
This is also a scene they can imagine, but they still have to come, if no one from the Guo family comes, it just verifies the rumors, showing that they are thieves. Qi Guogong was going to come in person, but after all, his identity was different, and it would be difficult to do it if Wang Qiong humiliated him in public, so he was stopped by Princess Chen Liu. Director Guo stepped forward and said respectfully: "General Wang, please believe that we are not here with malicious intent. We are here this time just to mourn the prince, and we have no other meaning, please don't get me wrong! β
Wang Qiong took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the complicated feelings in her heart. He looked at Director Guo and could feel that the other party had no malicious intent. But so what? Within a month, he died two sons in a row, and both of them were related to the Guo family. If he is still indifferent, is he not a beast? He is a father, and then a general, and he can't even protect his own son well, so what's the point of him doing as a general? Even though Wang Yan is innocent of death, he does not blame the Guo family. So what about Wang Guang, what a gentle child he is, he only knows how to play chess, has no quarrel with the world, and never argues with anyone. In Wang Yan's matter, Wang Guang didn't know how much effort it took to persuade everyone in the Wang family, hoping that they would not get into trouble with the Guo family because of this. Such a good boy, why did Guo Dun poison him, Wang Qiong couldn't understand it anyway.
Even though he knew that this matter might not necessarily be done by the Guo family, but Guo Dun appeared at the scene of the killing, this was a sure thing, so his palms couldn't help trembling slightly, but fortunately, he was covered by sleeves, so he was never discovered, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and he said in a condensed voice: "Your kindness, I understand it, go back." β
Now is not the time to be polite! Li Weiyang stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "General Wang, I don't know if you can let me talk to Miss Wang for a few words?" β
Wang Qiong glanced at her, but frowned: "What else is there to say now?" β
Li Weiyang's expression was calm: "It's just for the common safety of our two families." β
Wang Qiong's body shook, staring at Li Weiyang's calm face and being speechless, the atmosphere was deposited to the extreme for a while, and everyone was pinched in a cold sweat. After a long time, Wang Qiong turned her face away, this is acquiescence.
Princess Nankang saw that the servants of the Guo family were all dressed in white, and all of them showed anger, and couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back, but Li Weiyang did not move in the slightest, and regarded everyone's knife-like eyes as nothing. She finally met Wang Zijin as she wished, and the other party was also dressed in mourning clothes.
Wang Zijin raised his head and looked at Li Weiyang and lowered his eyes, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued to silently burn paper money for her brother in front of the spirit, and his tone of voice was also very calm: "Miss Guo is here at this time with intention to provoke?" β
Li Weiyang sighed lightly and said, "Maybe everyone will think so!" But I believe that Miss Wang will definitely not believe such words casually, and even if I am idle, I will not choose this kind of storm to provoke. β
Wang Zijin sneered: "Believe it or not, the facts are in front of you!" I sincerely want to fight with the Guo family, but how do you treat our Wang family? My third brother really deserves to die, I admit that, and I will never protect him. But what about my second brother? He has never offended you, and even did everything possible to help the Guo family say good things. Princess Nankang's matter, if it weren't for his mediation, my father wouldn't be able to let go so quickly. But now that even he is dead, who is next? Me, or my father? β
Li Weiyang looked at the tablet in front of the spirit, and then glanced at Wang Zijin's angry expression, but his expression was very indifferent: "I can understand Miss Wang's feelings, but if you are blinded by hatred because of your momentary anger, you will only be used by others." If Guo Dun really wanted to kill Wang Guang, firstly, there was no sufficient reason, and secondly, his strength was enough to escape, so why should he be arrested? I really want to know what the truth of this matter is, and what is the purpose of the person behind it, do you want to turn a blind eye to it? β
Wang Zijin finally put down the paper money in his hand, raised his eyes and stared at Li Weiyang, there seemed to be a burning fire in her eyes, and then she slowly stood up: "Now you came here just to ask me this question?" β
Li Weiyang didn't have the slightest smile on his face, but said very solemnly: "Yes, I want to seek justice for Wang Gongzi, and also for my fourth brother!" β
Wang Zijin snorted coldly, "Justice? What is justice, and is there justice in this world? Your fourth brother may have been wronged, but he is at least alive, who is responsible for my second brother's death? β
Li Weiyang said coldly: "Don't blame others for the accident, think about yourself first!" Miss Wang knew that the murderer was someone else, but did she still have to let my fourth brother accompany her to the funeral? β
Wang Zijin's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm, and his smile became colder and colder, "What if I say yes!" β
Li Weiyang said coldly: "If Miss Wang insists on this, we won't have anything to say." With that, she turned and walked out. At this moment, a white figure suddenly stopped her steps: "Miss Guo, please stay." β
Director Guo frowned, stood in front of Li Weiyang and said, "Wang Ji, what are you doing!" Wang Ji's face was a little pale, but he still smiled reluctantly and said: "Zijin has always had a good relationship with the second brother. Before this happened, the second brother had said that he would take Zijin out for a break in two days. But not long after the words were spoken, the other person was gone...... So I hope you can be considerate of Zijin's feelings, she didn't mean to say that! β
Of course, Li Weiyang knew that Wang Zijin was in a bad mood, but in her opinion, there was no reason in this world to ignore the murderer and let the real murderer get away with it because of a bad mood. She glanced at Wang Ji lightly, and her tone was unwavering: "I can understand Miss Wang's feelings, but this matter is obviously someone behind the scenes, but you are unwilling to tell the truth to the world." Please forgive me for saying more, seeing what you do like this, I'm afraid that the second son will be difficult to look at under Jiuquan! β
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, a trace of shock flashed on Wang Ji's face, he moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something but didn't spit out half a word, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Please go to the side hall to talk about it." β
Li Weiyang and Guo Dao came to the side hall, Wang Ji and Wang Zijin were accompanied by him, no one was watching here, and it was much easier to speak. Wang Ji opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what Miss Guo wants to know?" β
Li Weiyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said seriously: "Will Wang Gongzi tell me truthfully?" β
A trace of sorrow flashed in Wang Ji's eyes, but his expression was very solemn: "Yes, Miss Guo asks a question, and I will answer." If there is anything to hide, I will be sorry for my second brother! β
Li Weiyang nodded and said softly: "You should have examined Wang Guang's body, what did you find?" In fact, Li Weiyang once tried his best to go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to inquire about this problem. But this time, I don't know who ordered it, but Jing Zhaoyin was tight-lipped, only saying that the progress of the case would be reported directly to the emperor, and no one else knew about it, and resolutely refused to reveal the slightest tone. So much so that to this day, Li Weiyang still does not know the true circumstances of the incident.
Wang Jichang sighed and said, "When we were helping the second brother to collect the funeral, we found that he had multiple knife wounds on his body, and the fatal one was in the chest. And the caliber of that knife is the same as the Lingyun knife commonly used by Guo Gongzi, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid others wouldn't suspect Guo Gongzi's body. β
Li Weiyang nodded, and then asked, "Was my fourth brother caught killing people on the spot?" β
Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "When a servant found out that my second brother was dead in the house, he immediately shouted loudly, and the sound alarmed the backyard, and they rushed out to search, just in time to find Guo Dun Guo Gongzi was about to leave the courtyard." β
Li Weiyang sneered and said, "You're about to leave the other courtyard? In this way, can you be sure that YiqiΔ was done by my fourth brother? β
Wang Ji looked at Li Weiyang and was speechless for a while, but Wang Zijin suddenly interrupted: "Although my second brother's martial arts are not high, he is not a mediocre person, and there are only a handful of people who can beat him. The guards had already searched everywhere when the accident happened, and there was no one else at all at that time except Guo Dun, and when Guo Dun was discovered, he was still stained with blood, who was he who did it? β
Li Weiyang thought thoughtfully: "Now it seems that even you can't provide me with any useful information!" β
Wang Ji looked at Li Weiyang and said calmly: "I believe that Miss Guo will definitely investigate this matter clearly and give my second brother justice!" β
Wang Ji said this, proving that the Wang family was unwilling to meddle in this matter.
Director Guo looked at them coldly, but said with a faint smile: "I think the prince will also be uneasy in the spirit of the sky, complaining that you don't go to find the real culprit, but you are here in vain, and even know that this matter has nothing to do with my fourth brother, but you still deliberately wronged him, the dignified Wang family would actually act like this!" Forget it, little sister, let's go, don't talk nonsense with these people! Li Weiyang didn't say anything more when he heard this, but just gave a salute and left with him.
Wang Ji looked at their backs, but the expression on his face gradually changed, and he couldn't help but turn his head to Wang Zijin and said, "Sister, do you think it's right for us to do this?" β
Wang Zijin pondered for a moment before replying: "Even if this matter is not Guo Dun's doing, it has nothing to do with him!" Since Guo Jia wants to be suspicious, let her investigate. If she can't find real evidence, let her fourth brother accompany my second brother to bury, so that the second brother will not be lonely on Huangquan Road! As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I will find out the other party one day, and I will never let him go! When Wang Zijin said this, there was a strong resentment in his beautiful eyes.
Li Weiyang came out of the palace, but saw Princess Nankang's uncertain expression, she asked softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the worship has also been worshipped, why are you still so uneasy?" β
Princess Nankang was startled, the handkerchief in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, the maidservant girl quickly picked it up and put it away, Li Weiyang stared at her and said, "The princess is unwell?" β
"No, I'm fine! Let's go back! β
Seeing that Princess Nankang got into the carriage like a refugee, Li Weiyang glanced at Director Guo, and the other party obviously noticed Princess Nankang's strange appearance like her, which was by no means too nervous in the face of the Wang family, but more like a weak heart......
When the carriage arrived at Guo's house, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Princess, you go back first, I have other things to do." β
Princess Nankang got out of the carriage with an uneasy look, and glanced back at Li Weiyang, revealing a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Weiyang had seen too much of her expression in the past two days, and didn't want to say anything more, so he ordered the carriage to leave quickly. The carriage went all the way to the back door of Jingzhao Yin's Yamen, where Yuan Lie was already waiting, Li Weiyang lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "What, did you finally think of a way to let me see him?" β
Yuan Lie nodded, with a hint of pride in his eyes, which made his face like jade: "Jing Zhaoyin, this old guy has always been cunning, and he is so good that he refuses to let me see people." There is no way, I had to tie up his pregnant concubine who was raised outside, if he refuses to let you in to see Guo Dun, then his concubine and son, I am not ready to return it to him, and send it directly to his fierce jealous wife! β
Hearing Yuan Lie say such a scoundrel, Li Weiyang couldn't help but shake his head, and just nodded his head and got out of the carriage.
Yuan Lie went in with her all the way, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Guo Dun refused to say anything in prison, it doesn't look like his character at all, this matter is really weird, and it should be asked clearly." β
Li Weiyang's expression was solemn: "I understand." β
All the way into the cell, the whole prison environment is very dim, the jailer deliberately lit an oil lamp to guide them, through the darkness, the candlelight fell on Guo Dun's face, he subconsciously closed his eyes, so as not to be hurt by the light because of the darkness for a long time. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw that standing in front of him was a woman in gorgeous clothes, with a delicate face and a gentle face, it was his sister Guo Jia. Guo Dun's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously said, "Sister, you're here." β
Li Weiyang said lightly: "Fourth brother, you are really bold, you dare to kill Wang Guang!" β
Guo Dun lowered his head, and the surprise in his eyes was replaced by pain for a moment. He sat silently, as if he had no intention of speaking again.
Li Weiyang instructed the jailer to put the oil lamp on the table next to him, and waited for the other party to retreat, then he took a deep breath and said: "I heard that the fourth brother refused to say anything in prison, I thought you were waiting for me to sue me, but looking at the current situation, it seems that you are also going to keep silent about me!" β
Guo Dun still didn't speak, but his expression moved slightly. Li Weiyang slowly exhaled his breath and said, "My mother has had a headache again in the past few days, and she has been bedridden. My father was also too worried, and his sideburns turned a little white. He kept convening his staff to discuss how to save you, but unfortunately His Majesty blocked the news very tightly, this time even seeing you was the help of King Xu, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to stand here and speak. β
Guo Dun raised his head, only then did he notice that Xu Wang Yuanlie was also standing opposite, looking at him with his arms folded as if he was smiling. Guo Dun was very sad after all, and sighed and said: "It's because I'm not filial, and my parents are tired of worrying about me." β
Li Weiyang said mockingly: "Not only my parents, but Princess Ali is also worried these days, she even refuses to eat her favorite snacks, and she doesn't go out casually, just sitting at the door every day to see when you can come back." β
Guo Dun's heart became more and more uncomfortable, but he lowered his head and endured the sadness in his eyes.
Li Weiyang sneered and said, "I really want to know who you are hiding." β
Guo Dun didn't speak, but tears fell to the ground.
The eldest husband never shed tears, but he did not reach the sad place. Li Weiyang looked at him, his eyes were full of complicated feelings, and he showed a thoughtful expression: "If the fourth brother confesses his guilt, he is deliberately provoking the fight between the Guo family and the Wang family, do you know the consequences of this strict zhΓ²ng?" β
Of course, Guo Dun knew this, but he had unspeakable hardships.
Li Weiyang became more and more sure of his original guess, and said very calmly: "Are you doing this for Princess Nankang?" β
Guo Dun's heart jumped suddenly, his eyes stared at Li Weiyang without blinking, and his expression was simply shocked.
Li Weiyang was just a temptation, but seeing him like this, the original guess had already been confirmed by ten points, she shook her head, and said in a light tone: "It turned out to be really her!" β
Yuan Lie took a step forward, his eyes showing doubts, and he forced Guo Dun to say, "What is going on, how can this matter be related to Princess Nankang?" β
Guo Dun gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The corners of Li Weiyang's mouth suddenly raised a somewhat dangerous arc, and he turned his head to Yuan Lie and said, "You don't need to ask him, it's better to ask the person concerned about this matter!" β
No matter how smart Yuan Lie is, he can't imagine that Wang Guang's death will have anything to do with Princess Nankang...... Uncle and brother-in-law, God!
Li Weiyang walked to the door of the cell but suddenly stopped, turned his head to Guo Dun and said: "Fourth brother, I hope you can think about it, when should righteousness be talked about, and who should be used, even if you are really for the good of Princess Nankang and the good of the Guo family, but there are some truths that you can't hide by yourself!" β
Guo Dun just wanted to say something, but as soon as the candle flame went out, the person in front of him had already walked out of the cell.
All the way back to Guo's mansion, Li Weiyang walked into Princess Nankang's room without being informed, Princess Nankang was facing the mirror at the moment, and she didn't know why she was secretly crying.
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, walked straight to the mirror, looked at the figure in the bronze mirror and said: "The princess is really unlucky, first her husband died, and now she lives in our house, and the fourth brother is going to die again." β
Princess Nankang was shocked, raised her head suddenly, saw the person standing behind her in the bronze mirror, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jia'er, what did you just say?" β
A trace of ridicule flashed in Li Weiyang's dark eyes, and he said mercilessly: "I mean that the fourth brother is about to be sentenced, deliberately killing the children of the family, and he is guilty, I am afraid that he will be sentenced to five horses!" β
Hearing her say this, Princess Nankang's expression became more and more frightened, and there was even a faint trace of sadness and guilt.
Li Weiyang keenly caught her expression, she walked past Nan Kang's side, her slender fingers gently brushed the slightly concave surface of the bronze mirror, and then turned her head to look at Nan Kang and said: "I went to the prison to see the fourth brother just now, but he was bent on defending someone and refused to say anything to me. It seems that he has already developed a will to live and die, and he has to carry this black pot for the other party! What kind of person do you say can make him grit his teeth and not want to say anything? β
Princess Nankang's expression became more and more sad, she turned her face away, and almost didn't dare to look at Li Weiyang's eyes.
Li Weiyang sighed, sat down on the stool next to him, and said softly: "Although the fourth brother's personality is impulsive, he has been restrained a lot these days, and he will not be so reckless when he finally knows to think twice about everything." Mother also said that a wedding will be held for Princess Ali and the fourth brother in a few days, I think they should be a very happy couple, Princess Nankang, don't you say? β
Nankang didn't dare to speak, just lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Li Weiyang smiled lightly, as if he had seen through her thoughts, and just continued: "But if something like this happens, I'm afraid there will be no way for the wedding to go on anymore!" I'm really sorry for Princess Ali and for the fourth brother. He didn't know that the person he was defending didn't care about his life or death at all, and he didn't even dare to defend him! There is no way, the fourth brother is such a stupid person. For the sake of righteousness, even at the cost of his own life! β
Princess Nankang finally couldn't help it, and was completely defeated by the psychological defense, and suddenly tears fell down in big drops.
Li Weiyang glanced at her and knew that if the other party hadn't collapsed now, he would never have shown such a look in front of him. She said quietly: "Princess Nankang, don't blame me, you shouldn't go to see that Wang Guang for a thousand mistakes." You are Her Royal Highness the Princess, you should be noble and elegant, guarding the court, Wang Yan is indeed sorry for you, but Concubine Hui has already said, when things fade, I will find another destination for you in a few years, but this destination should definitely not be Wang Guang. Don't you know why you want to see him? β
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Princess Nankang wiped away her tears. She raised her head, looked at the other party steadily, and said, "I knew that you would find out one day, but I didn't expect this matter to become so strict!" In fact, since Wang Yan's death, I often went to the temple to listen to the master's lectures, and Wang Guang would also go there, and we would occasionally meet, just stop and say something. He was funny and tolerant, he didn't blame me for Wang Yan's affairs, and he often comforted me, so we became friends. I also know that he is Wang Yan's brother after all, and I have a lot of inappropriate dealings with him, so I didn't sue anyone about this matter. In the bottom of my heart, I just want to see him once in a while, even if it's like a friend, I'm satisfied. But that day, he suddenly sent me a message, asking me to meet in the other courtyard, I thought something important was happening, so I hurried there, but when I arrived there, I found that Wang Guang was dead. β
Li Weiyang's gaze became fierce in an instant: "He was already dead when you went?" β
Princess Nankang's eyes showed a trace of sadness, but she still nodded seriously, "Yes, he had already lost his breath when I went!" It was at this time that I found out that Guo Dun also followed me to the other courtyard, it turned out that he found my carriage on the road, and felt that his whereabouts were strange, so he followed me all the way here, Wang Guang was already dead when he came, so the murderer must not be Guo Dun. β
Li Weiyang suddenly understood everything in his heart. It turned out that Princess Nankang had made an appointment to meet Wang Guang, so Guo Duncai refused to reveal why he appeared in the other courtyard. He followed the frame of Princess Nankang, and Princess Nankang was widowed...... A widowed princess went to meet her brother who was a colt, and if this matter got out, Princess Nankang's honor would be completely ruined! Don't talk about Princess Nankang, even Concubine Guo Hui will become the laughing stock of the world, so Guo Dun would rather admit that he bears the crime of killing people than say a word. If Li Weiyang still had some sympathy for Princess Nankang just now, now he is very angry. She stood up suddenly and said coldly: "Your Highness, you are too confused!" β
Princess Nankang was speechless. She was indeed confused, otherwise she would not have gone to meet Wang Guang, but they really didn't do anything to make sense. It's just an occasional conversation and a game of chess. But this kind of interaction should never happen between the princess and her uncle! Because of this, she hid it in every possible way, but she was still discovered by Guo Dun. Guo Dun is righteous and caring for his family, and has always had some sympathy for Princess Nankang, so this time he took on this matter and resolutely refused to reveal the truth to the public. I also know that if Guo Dun said a qiΔ, not only would he not be able to reduce the suspicion of murder, but he would also drag Princess Nankang into the water together. Li Weiyang turned around and subconsciously walked a few steps in the room, seemingly hesitating.
Princess Nankang looked at her, her eyes were infinitely remorseful, and said, "Sister Jia'er, how should this matter be solved now?" β
Li Weiyang glanced at her, but her expression was very cold, Princess Nankang was a little shrunken, and almost wanted to retreat, but when she thought of Guo Dun, she couldn't help but muster up the courage and said, "It's better - I'll go and explain it to Lord Jing Zhaoyin." β
At this moment, it is ready to fly, and there is no room for reversal. Li Weiyang said: "It's too late to say anything now." If you go to explain to Guo Dun, not only will it not be able to alleviate his suspicion, but it will also make people think that you are having a private meeting with Wang Guang, and Guo Dun was suddenly broken, so Guo Dun was angry for a while and had a dispute with Wang Guang. If this is the case, Wang Guang's death, Guo Dun has to bear this black cauldron! β
Princess Nankang originally thought that the worst thing was to be honest with herself, but she never expected that she would be unspeakable now! She was stunned for a moment, only to feel cold all over, like falling into an ice cave.
