167, a city of frost
Cui Yan said: "At the beginning, someone did tell me that I wanted to send Cousin Duan to Jizhou, but my parents waited for a long time and no one came. ”
"Later, I wrote to Yingdu, and the news that I was missing was missing."
"There are also people who disappeared together, and the subordinates of the Third Highness did not go back together."
Chu Ling frowned, he hadn't heard the third brother mention it yet.
"How could it be missing?"
As long as he doesn't die, he will go back to report, but he won't even see any of the third brother's people back.
Cui Yan said: "Later, I found the people of the Third Highness in an inn five hundred miles away from Jizhou City, but Cousin Duan still didn't see a trace. ”
Ye Xuanqing asked: "That is, this is what you went to look for later, how could you think of going there far." ”
If not, he wouldn't have said he was missing in the first place.
"This was told by Uncle Xu."
Cui Yan said: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't say that Uncle Xu had anything to do with this incident, but that his leg was broken there back then." ”
"That's why we told us when we were looking."
Chu Ling asked, "Ah, Xuan, what are you thinking?" ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "Do you say that my brother also knows?" ”
No wonder she couldn't remember it, so she said that the Duan family was more important to him than to her.
She was also evil, so she didn't notice it at all.
Chu Ling didn't answer her, but asked, "There is nothing else at the scene except their corpses." ”
Cui Yan said: "No." ”
He added, "By the way, I forgot to mention a little bit just now, they were all poisoned. ”
Poisoning, are they all unprepared?
"They died in their sleep, without pain."
"It should have been done by an acquaintance."
And if it was an acquaintance, then only Duan Yuechen who they escorted would remain.
After understanding, the two took their leave.
Cui Yan said: "I'm here to play when I have time." ”
He lifted the cage and slipped away.
Ye Xuanqing took Chu Ling's hand and said, "Did you say that they met an acquaintance on the way here, and then they were killed." ”
Chu Ling said: "No, even if they meet acquaintances, they will not easily bring people with them with the order of the third brother." ”
"Moreover, you don't want to think about it, if Duan Yuechen wants to bring someone with him, they won't refuse."
"Duan Shuangchen." Ye Xuanqing let go of his hand, put his hands together and said, "She wasn't in the Duan Mansion at the beginning. ”
"You have a pretty good memory." Chu Ling glanced at his hand.
Seeing him praise himself, Ye Xuanqing was a little embarrassed and said, "General." ”
"However, if Duan Shuangchen has to be crazy to do something, she will start."
Chu Ling said: "Not necessarily, she was allowed to just take a hand, and there were other people who poisoned her." ”
"Who" Ye Xuanqing looked at him suspiciously, with an expression on his face that he wanted to express.
Chu Ling said: "You forgot, what Cui Yan said just now, that is still the place where the uncle of the Xu family had an accident." ”
"There's also a chance they've encountered bandits."
Ye Xuanqing said: "Then how good-looking that bandit is, it can make people let down their guard." ”
The corners of Chu Ling's mouth twitched, what were you thinking, couldn't there be normal ordinary people among the bandits.
"This bandit is quite arrogant."
Could it be that Nanchu has reached the point of corruption, and the bandits have begun to be so arrogant, and they are not afraid of the government at all.
Chu Ling said: "The bandits in Jingzhou are, it's time to integrate." ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "You are going." ”
Chu Ling nodded: "Wait a long time." ”
Ye Xuanqing said, "Then when will you go, take me." ”
Chu Ling said: "Okay, when we get married, I'll take you with me." ”
Ye Xuanqing stayed where she was, so she was proposed.
Isn't that a bit too sloppy, not even a bouquet of flowers, and it's appropriate now.
"Keep up" Chu Ling walked out and turned around.
Ye Xuanqing hurriedly followed.
Be sloppy.
When I returned to the post station, I saw Xu Zhiyi sitting on the stone steps with a melancholy face.
"Lord Wang."
Chu Ling said: "Come in and talk." With that, he walked into the house.
Ye Xuanqing followed behind, always feeling that Xu Zhiyi's expression was a little peculiar, and he wanted to study it well, is this sad or not, how can there still be a feeling of relief in it.
kept staring at him, and Xu Zhiyi was a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, she was dragged in by Chu Ling, and she leaned forward unexpectedly, and half of her body hung on Chu Ling's body.
Chu Ling glanced at it, and said with a face that was about to touch his face: "Walk, don't look around." ”
Ye Xuanqing hurriedly stood up and said, "I know." ”
If he hadn't pulled her suddenly, she wouldn't have been.
Chu Ling asked, "Xu Hongyan has made progress over there." ”
Xu Zhiyi said: "Yes, he brought the genealogy of the people, and then removed the name of the minister." ”
He would have been happy if he had been in the early years, but now that's not what he wants.
Chu Ling said, "You go down to rest first." ”
Xu Zhiyi said: "Yes." ”
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do next?" Ye Xuanqing asked.
Chu Ling said: "Settle accounts." ”
"Ahh
Chu Ling curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Just look at it." ”
But Ye Xuanqing was still a little worried, naturally he was not worried about Chu Ling, but Xu Zhiyi, and now it seems that he is still quite optimistic about Xu Zhiyi.
It wasn't Xu Hongyan who removed Xu Zhiyi from the genealogy and could completely remove himself.
If Xu Zhiyi didn't help Xu Hongyan, he didn't know what was waiting for him when he went back.
Chu Ling said: "It's not that serious. ”
Ye Xuanqing said: "No, then can I change to a father." ”
Chu Ling said: "The situation is different. ”
The next day, Chu Ling asked the prefect of Jizhou to bring people to the Xu Mansion, surrounded it, and no one let out.
Xu Hongtai's family, when they woke up in the morning, faced such a thing, first began to pour into Mrs. Xu's courtyard.
Mrs. Xu is old and sleeps less, so she sleeps a lot.
When Xu Hongtai and the others came in, the footsteps of everyone woke her up.
Old Mrs. Xu squinted her eyes and said, "What are you going to do this morning?" ”
Xu Hongtai said: "Mother is not good, our family is besieged." ”
Old Mrs. Xu immediately came to her senses and said, "What's the matter." ”
Xu Hongtai said: "This must be related to the eldest brother, he only removed Xu Zhiyi's name from the family tree yesterday, and he was besieged today." ”
"I'm afraid that I will offend Xu Zhiyi."
"Removed from the list" Mrs. Xu raised her voice and said, "Why hasn't anyone told me?" ”
Xu Hongtai said: "This kind of trivial matter, I don't want to bother my mother." ”
"Who knows it's going to offend him."
Mrs. Xu picked up the cup and threw it at him and said, "Is this a trivial matter?" ”
"You don't use your brains, Xu Zhiyi is out now, our family just has to find a way to tie him up."
"Even if he doesn't want to, as long as he is still surnamed Xu, he has to do things for our Xu family, why don't you even understand such a simple truth, and still help Xu Hongyan."
Xu Hongtai covered his smashed forehead and said, "Mother, but the genealogy is in the eldest brother's place, he is really determined to drive Xu Zhiyi away, and his son can't stop it." ”
Mrs. Xu said, "Shut up, you go and call him." ”
Li walked up to Mrs. Xu and helped her massage her temples.
"Mother, what are we going to do?"
Mrs. Xu said with enjoyment: "What are you afraid of, he Xu Hongyan is not still in the Xu Mansion, and he really thinks that a genealogy can be taken out." ”
It's too beautiful to think about.
Li said: "It's still a mother, amazing." ”
Mrs. Xu said: "You also learn a little, otherwise you will really have to give way to that fox spirit." ”
"Yes."
"Mother, mother" Xu Hongtai ran in and shouted: "Big brother said that he can't come because of his leg pain." ”
"And he said that if his mother wanted to see him, he would go by himself."
Mrs. Xu opened her eyes violently, slapped the table hard, and said, "He's against the sky." ”
stood up and walked towards Xu Hongyan's courtyard.
A few birds pecked at the treetops, shaking off the thin layer of snow and disturbing the idlers.
The scholar said, "Old lady Ann." ”
"Uncle said that if you come, you go in alone, there are too many people and it's too noisy."
Xu Hongyan's bedroom lacked light, and it was covered with black cloth everywhere.
Only a few lamps emitted a dim light, as in the ancestral hall.
Mrs. Xu felt that he was cold here.
"It's been so many years, and it's time for you to change colors here."
Xu Hongyan said: "It's time to change the color, and I'll change it in a few days." ”
Mrs. Xu found a chair and sat down and said, "You have to have that life." ”
"Your good son and outsiders have surrounded our house, you go out and let him evacuate people, so that the neighbors still think that something has happened to our Xu family."
How bad this is to have.
Xu Hongyan slowly turned the wheelchair around and looked at Mrs. Xu: "Mother, you are old." ”
"Just his kid, how can he mobilize the prefect, if he comes, it will be the Xu Mansion that has committed something."
Mrs. Xu said, "What can we do?" ”
Xu Hongyan said: "Since this is the case, let people investigate, if not, he can't frame the Xu family." ”
Mrs. Xu said: "In that case, you can go too, Xu Zhiyi will call back, and our family will have to face it together." ”
Xu Hongyan said: "Mother, don't forget, now he is no longer from the Xu family." ”
"How can you come in at will?"
"Xu Hongyan, what do you mean." Old Lady Xu stared at Xu Hongyan with compassion.
Xu Hongyan said: "What do you say?" ”
"Mother should go back and pray like a bodhisattva."
"Xu Hongyan." Mrs. Xu shouted, "You did it on purpose." ”
"The old lady said that how can a person become so fast, and what kind of leg is crippled, which leads to a great change in temperament."
"Are you worthy of your father, worthy of the ancestors of the Xu family? You are not afraid of going to the eighteen layers of hell after death. ”
Xu Hongyan said: "The Xu family has rotted from the roots, so it should naturally be destroyed, as for the eighteenth layer of hell, I'm afraid you have to go down in front of me." ”
"Or my mother has forgotten what she did."
Old Lady Xu's eyes shrank suddenly.
She married Xu Er to fill the house, she was born so beautiful but filled the house for others.
