[Seventeen times] old things, old people are now killing
After his mood stabilized a little, she continued: "I explained to you today about Little Master Lu, not just to let you let go of the knot in your heart for many years. ”
Ning Nan showed a puzzled look and looked at her silently.
Jiang Chengjia made up his mind, took a deep breath and asked, "Have you been checking the truth about Mrs. Gu's murder all these years?" ”
Hearing her suddenly ask like this, Ning Nan's worried eyes froze slightly: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”
Jiang Chengjia replied: "Half a month ago, you promised Song Yang to let him interrogate Tao Qing alone about the truth about the death of his parents. Tao Chung told him... Song Yang's parents were killed by Song Zong because they desperately refused to tell where Xiao Lu Gongzi was hiding now..."
He was first surprised: "How can Song Yang's parents know where little Lu Gongzi is? Could they? ”
Jiang Chengjia nodded, affirming his guess at this time: "If it is... What Tao Yang said is true, then Song Yang's parents must know the truth about Mrs. Gu's murder in Wuling, and it is very likely that it was Song Yang's parents who secretly rescued Xiao Lu Gongzi from the bandits back then... Only now can I survive in the world..."
Ning Nan's worried expression slowly darkened, and he lowered his eyes and muttered, "When Mrs. Gu died, I was not yet born. I have rarely heard the master talk about her. It's just that I know that Lu Fuzi misses her deceased wife very much, and after the little Lu Gongzi lost his trace, the Lu family searched for a year and gave up looking for it. But Lu Fuzi did not give up, despite the opposition of the patriarch of the family, he has been looking for the whereabouts of Xiao Lu Gongzi in private, and has never given up looking for the gang of bandits and robbers who killed Mrs. Gu.
This is the only regret in his life, after the Chang Mengjun case, he asked my uncle to continue to search for the bandits and the whereabouts of Xiao Lu Gongzi. Later, my uncle returned to Longxi and told me the clues he had found... Over the years, I have also been unremittingly investigating the truth about the murder of Mrs. Gu. Finally, in the sixth year of Jiankang, the spies sent out by my subordinates found the traces of the bandits who appeared in the Xindu area that year, and followed this clue all the way to the coast of Qingzhou. There, this group of people was captured.
Lu Xun had interrogated these people day and night, and learned from them. When Mrs. Gu was taken captive, it was not because they did it temporarily, but that someone had spent a lot of money to hire them to hijack the ox cart that Mrs. Gu was returning to Luoyang at that time, and ordered them to kill Mrs. Gu... But this group of bandits didn't know who was behind the murder of Mrs. Gu? The rules of the rivers and lakes are that employees and employers are not allowed to see each other. This is indeed a rule that has been in place since a long time ago. Lu Xun had exhausted all kinds of methods at that time, and he couldn't get other clues from their mouths. Only then did it become clear that this group of bandits really did not know who was behind the murder.
Later, Lu Xun learned from the bandit leader that one of them thought that the baby in Mrs. Gu's arms, who was less than one year old, was really innocent, so he took advantage of their inattention to escape from the bandit gang with the little Lu Gongzi who was less than one year old. ”
"So... The defected bandit... It is very likely that it is Song Yang's father..."Jiang Chengjia continued his words.
Ning Nan frowned slightly, lowered his head, and gently turned the wrench on his thumb with his hand, thinking about the clues of this matter, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that now, Xiao Lu Gongzi is fortunate to be found by you... Do we know who one of the robbers who took him down back then? But the mastermind behind the murder has no clue until now..."
Jiang Chengjia's eyes rolled, and his face gradually became solemn and said, "Erlang, I am thinking about buying a murderous employer... I know who it is? ”
Ning Nan looked at her worriedly. At first, he showed a puzzled and inquiring look, and then a faint anger appeared in his eyes, and he asked her in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”
I saw the little lady in front of him climb down from his lap, took the futon and held it in her arms, held her hands and said softly: "Right Fufeng Fushi... Commonplace. ”
He looked stunned and incredulous, "You... Are you sure it's a commonplace? ”
Sure enough, Ning Nanwei was completely unaware of this matter.
Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "Tao Cheng said to Song Yang... At that time, Song Zong received a letter written by Fu Bo himself, so he ordered him to find Song Yang's parents, and in the end, it seemed that in order to kill the mouth, the entire village was slaughtered..."
Ning Nan's thoughts were a little confused, and he shook his head at her and said, "But... Mrs. Gu and Fu Bo have known each other since childhood, and the two of them are cousins who grew up together... Back then, after the news of Mrs. Gu's murder in Wuling reached Luoyang, Fu Bo stayed in front of her spirit for seven days and refused to leave.... How could it be that he hired a murderer? ”
He refused to believe it, but he couldn't explain why Fu Bo wrote a letter to Song Zong in person, ordering him to ask Song Yang's parents and the whereabouts of Xiao Lu Gongzi.
Jiang Chengjia settled down, lowered her eyes, attached her hands to her knees, habitually tapped, thought twice, and said, "Perhaps... Back then, Mrs. Gu inadvertently learned the unknown secrets of Fu Bo and even the entire Fu family... If this secret is spread, the Fu family will be wiped out. So Fu Bo had to do something to his cousin who grew up with him? ”
"It's possible." Ning Nan kept turning the wrench on his thumb, and his heart was a little restless.
Knowing that Fu Bo might be the culprit behind the murder of Mrs. Gu, Ning Nan remembered an incident.
Listening to his uncle Cao Yong, when Mrs. Gu returned to Huiji, two people followed the Lu family's fleet to Huiji. These two people are Fu Bo and his father Ning Zheng. dog
He did hear that when the fleet crossed the Lujiang River, Mrs. Gu had a fierce quarrel with Fu Bo, and Ning Zheng was also present at that time. Could it be that Mrs. Gu touched some kind of interest cooperation between Fu Bo and his father before she was killed?
Jiang Chengjia saw that Ning Nanwu was in deep thought, so he whispered in his ear: "Erlang... What do you remember? ”
He nodded, and said what he had just guessed.
These words gave birth to a strange idea in Jiang Chengjia's heart, for some reason, she always had an intuition that the unspeakable secret that Mrs. Gu knew back then was somehow related to the reason why Ning Zheng and the Deng clan united with the hundred schools to frame the four gates of the Chang Meng army, Yue Qi, the Lu family, the Lu family, and the Murong family.
But the past is as heavy as a stone, and she knows too few clues, and she can't deduce anything at this time. It also caused the young man in front of him to fall into rounds of thinking.
Jiang Chengjia comforted him: "I will order the spies from the Thousand Machines Department to carefully investigate what the dispute between Mrs. Gu, Fu Bo and my father were when they passed through Lujiang, if there is any news... I'll tell you right away. ”
Ning Nan was slightly stunned, turned his head, looked at the little lady beside him hooking the corners of her lips, and smiled gently at herself, and the doubts and dullness accumulated in her heart gradually dispersed. He stretched out his hand, rubbed her little head, and said gently, "There is Mrs. Lao..."
Jiang Chengjia laughed, leaned beside him, and thought of Zhao Fu who was far away in the north, thought about it carefully, and decided not to tell him about Zhao Fu and Lu Shiqing for the time being.
She tugged at the quilt, and after a while, she felt sleepy. Since she was pregnant, she has often been sleepy, especially these days, she can't sleep peacefully at night, and she is even more sleepy during the day. Jiang Chengjia wrapped in the quilt, slowly lay down on the bed, and saw that Ning Nanwu was still leaning on the couch, thinking about something with deep eyes, so he turned over, hugged his waist and muttered: "Erlang... Don't think about it, it's time to take a nap. ”
Ning Nan lowered her head, saw her in a daze and closed her eyes and muttered, laughed lowly, and then lay down on the couch with her, leaning slightly sideways, her slender fingers gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep.
When she fell asleep, Ning Nan got up carefully, got out of the gauze tent, straightened her clothes and robes, and stepped on her boots and went out.
Jiang Chengjia closed his eyes and slept unknowingly, but he still faintly heard the sound of two doors opening and closing in his ears. But she had not slept well for many days, and she slept deeply, and it was not long before she was overwhelmed by a deep sense of sleepiness.
After many days of fatigue and sleepiness, she slept until the evening was dark.
When Jiang Chengjia woke up, he looked around him, and Ning Nanwu had long since gone there.
She hurriedly lifted the veil tent, glanced out the window, saw that it was dark outside, rubbed her eyes in a bit of confusion, got up from the couch gently, put on the clogs, pushed open the door and muttered.
Qian Shan and Xiao Cui were guarding the door, and when they heard the movement, they immediately turned their heads to look at her standing in front of the house and said, "Nujun, are you awake?" ”
She just woke up, her mind was a little confused at the moment, and she looked at Qianshan for a long time before she reacted and said, "Qianshan? How did you get here? ”
Qian Shan and Xiao Cuile laughed and said, "The prince called me to guard the female monarch." The prince said... The lady has always had a bad night's sleep in the past two days and nights, and she rarely had a good night's sleep this afternoon. I was worried that you would wake up hungry and thirsty and not be able to find anyone, so I asked the two of us to come back from Dou Taijun and guard you in the maple garden. ”
Jiang Chengjia was stunned: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”
Qianshan replied, "It's been about two hours." ”
Jiang Chengjia was shocked and said, "Two hours! Isn't it... Dinner is coming?! ”
She looked up at the sky again, and then anxiously pulled Qianshan and Xiaocui to the kitchen next door to Fengyuan.
Qian Shan cried and laughed: "Female monarch... Lady and so on! If you're going to the stove house next door... You don't have to..."
Jiang Chengjia paused, turned his head to look at her and said, "Great grandmother and mother... Now? ”
Qian Shan nodded and replied, "The two ladies have now used their dinner, and they are going to Houzhuang to patrol the fields for a walk..."
