Chapter 111: Return to Duling to search for spider silk
Although Liu Fei'er was a little reluctant, she really didn't want to risk running around again, since she was pregnant, she didn't even ride her favorite horse, and she was cautious every day.
Wang Jingyan lived in her own home, and every day she either went to the winery to supervise the construction and production, or studied behind closed doors with her husband.
Liu Fei'er felt that the two of them seemed to have a special tacit understanding, and sometimes, occasionally hearing their conversations, it was very strange, and she didn't even understand it.
She wasn't worried at all, though. Because Brother Fan is as good to herself as ever, and even more caring and considerate, she can completely see his love for her from Brother Fan's eyes.
"Fei'er, we're just going to check on a trivial matter, it's not dangerous, don't worry. You're fine at home, we'll go early and come back early. ”
Geng Xiaofan ignored the people around him and kissed Fei'er lightly on the forehead.
"Brother Fan, be careful, take care of Sister Jing Yan!"
Liu Fei'er blushed, but smiled sweetly and sent the two on the road.
"Sister-in-law, this Jingyan girl is a little strange, do you think she will have thoughts about my brother?"
Watching the two of them fight their horses away, Lord Yi helped Liu Fei'er back to the house.
"What do you want to do so much! As long as your brother is willing, I don't care about finding you another sister-in-law. ”
"Hee-hee, my brother is just charming!"
Yizhu is happy, since his sister-in-law is so reasonable, does he also have a chance.
Geng Xiaofan took good care of Wang Jingyan along the way, and the two rushed directly to Duling Post Station without delay, which should be the first stop of their visit.
Although a year has passed, in the past year, Wang Xian and others have come to investigate and inquire, so the old post soldiers of Duling Post Station still remember this matter very clearly.
"Nothing special happened at all, if it wasn't for the little girl from the Wang family who ran out to ask, who would have known that she lost a big living person in the middle of the night, and she would still be a young lady."
The old post soldier sat opposite Geng Xiaofan, accompanying him to eat jujube and taste his wine at the same time.
"Was it raining heavily that day?" Geng Xiaofan asked casually.
"It's not big, how much rain can it fall in the spring, but it's raining in the middle of the night."
"Do you remember which room Miss Wang lives in?"
"That's it, no! Later, King Dingtao and his entourage also came, and there were too many people to live in the house, so the Wang family vacated a room, and Miss Wang moved next door. ”
The old soldier took a sip of wine and pointed to the room to introduce Geng Xiaofan.
"Oh, and who's going to live in this room?" Geng Xiaofan didn't want to let go of any details.
"It seems to be a stone-sama."
"Lord Shi? Which Shi-sama? Geng Xiaofan and Wang Jingyan didn't expect another Lord Shi to appear at this time.
"I don't know, he came last, I also occasionally heard someone call him, what kind of stone statue, I still wonder, how can there be a stone statue in this wilderness, and later I learned that it was an adult surnamed Shi. Hehe, there are also stone statues, you say it's not weird. ”
"How old is he?" Wang Jingyan couldn't help but interject.
"Fifty or sixty, a little old man, how do you look like an adult." The old postman recalled.
"What are his characteristics? Is there a black mole on the left lip? Wang Jingyan suddenly thought of someone.
"Yes, yes, yes! Is there a mole on the mouth, left or right? ”
The old post soldier frowned and thought for a long time, "I can't remember clearly, but there is a mole." ”
Geng Xiaofan also understood, it was Shi Xian! He was the prime minister at the time! Isn't it a stone phase! But how could he be with King Dingtao?
"Besides King Dingtao, was there anyone else that day?" Geng Xiaofan continued to ask.
"There's no one else. There are more than 20 people, most of them subordinates, who live in the backyard, and there are only three people living here. ”
"Three people, who else?"
"There is also a young man, like a guest of King Dingtao, who lives in the East Chamber."
Geng Xiaofan looked at Wang Jingyan, both of them frowned, it shouldn't be as simple as a doorman, maybe this is the most critical person.
"Do you see what you look like?" Geng Xiaofan was eager to know at this moment.
"It was too late, and I didn't dare to bother. This stone statue was only seen because I came late and asked me to prepare hot water and food, and the others were really not impressed. ”
"Oh! Didn't you hear anything that night? ”
"No, I slept very hard that day, and when I woke up, it was dawn, and it was still the Wang family's noisy, so I woke up."
"What did you eat for the night?"
Geng Xiaofan realized that there was a problem, and Wang Jingyan's little girl also said that she slept very hard at night, could it be that someone drugged her at dinner!
"I didn't eat anything, it was a little cold that night, so I had a few drinks. By the way, the Wang family picked a lot of mushrooms during the day, stewed soup at night, and brought me a big bowl, which tasted really good. ”
Mushroom soup! Could it be that the Wang family inadvertently ate poisonous mushrooms?
Too likely. Geng Xiaofan remembered that there seemed to be a kind of mushroom called "sleeping mushroom", which made people groggy once they were eaten by mistake.
After chatting with the old post soldier for a while, the old man's wine gradually rose and he began to doze off. Geng Xiaofan knew that he couldn't ask for any useful information, so he politely sent him out.
When he came back, Geng Xiaofan looked carefully at the door of the guest room, they were all exactly the same, and this one was very close to the door next door.
Geng Xiaofan has a guess. Could it be that Miss Wang went out in the middle of the night and went to the wrong room in a daze when she came back?
If that's the case, this Shi Xian is a major suspect!
But how could he be a prime minister who ran so far to the Royal Forbidden Garden late at night? What does he have to do with King Dingtao?
"Sister Jingyan, this Shi Xian ......" Geng Xiaofan began to ask Wang Jingyan for help.
"Shi Xian is almost finished. He relied on Emperor Yuan's favor and trust, and did all the bad things, and after Emperor Cheng succeeded to the throne, he sent him to Changxin Palace. It should be that just recently, Prime Minister Kuang Heng will impeach him, and he should finally be dismissed, sent back to his hometown, and die on the road. Wang Jingyan replied to the best of her knowledge.
"Then what does Shi Xian have to do with King Dingtao?" Geng Xiaofan wants to confirm his speculation.
"I don't know, the history books don't say it." Wang Jingyan really doesn't know.
"Sister Jing Yan, will there be such a possibility? Shi Xian knew that Emperor Yuan was no longer good, and he was not allowed to see the prince at that time, so he was ready to take refuge in King Dingtao. They plotted something here, but they were unintentionally bumped into by the Wang girl, and they had no choice but to kill people. Geng Xiaofan expressed his speculation.
"Possibly, as you can see, this room is so close to the door next door that it's easy to make a mistake at night. It is very likely that Miss Wang went to the wrong room. However, King Dingtao should not be in the same boat as Shi Xian, what conspiracy will they have? ”
"King Dingtao won't, so what about Empress Dowager Fu? There is also the so-called doorman, he lives in the East Chamber, and his location is better than that of King Dingtao, could it be Liu Biao? You have also investigated, King Dingtao never hunts, why did he come this time? ”
