Chapter 492: The First Proposal is Xiao Shuxuan
"You go and guard the door, I have something important to discuss with Geng Taishou. No one is allowed to disturb them. Wang Jingyan commanded, and several maids quickly exited the study and gently closed the door.
"When I received your letter, I analyzed it carefully. I believe that the Wei family has nothing to do with this matter, but it is unreasonable to say that Wei Wan was poisoned. In any case, Yu'er is her husband, and they also have their own children, and murdering their own husband will not benefit her in the slightest. Moreover, no matter how bold Wei Bao is, he will not use such despicable means. Unless, Yu'er has a reason to die. ”
Geng Xiaofan saw that there were no outsiders, so he went straight to the point and expressed his opinions.
Wang Jingyan was silent and listened carefully.
"No matter who the murderer is, he or she is a very thoughtful person. His method of poisoning is very hidden, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to find out. He hid the arsenic in the lid of the jug and naturally mixed it in with the bumps of the carriage. ”
"That's still done by the people in my house!" When Wang Jingyan heard this, she immediately came to a conclusion.
"That's right! Nowadays there is no lid for the flask, and the person who can do this must have seen the flask beforehand. So, I just went to meet the dog. ”
"Dog?" Wang Jingyan didn't know what to do.
"It's the little guy in the cellar for you." Geng Xiaofan explained, "He is still a child, how can you wronged him and beat him like that?" His father and mother were servants of your house, and he was born in your house. How could such a child do something to kill the lord? Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but reproach.
"Yu'er's matter made me almost crazy, the subordinates were worried about my feelings, and they were indeed too rough when they investigated, and I have already punished those people." Wang Jingyan explained.
"Let's not talk about this first, who have been tried, who has tried it, and is there any record? I'm going to take a look. Geng Xiaofan asked.
"It was Lin'er's trial, and the family almost finished asking. Take a look. Wang Jingyan got up and pulled out a volume of Bai Juan from the bookshelf behind her.
"So much! Lin'er really worked hard. Geng Xiaofan looked at the thick volume of records, a little frightened.
What is written on Bai Juan may be just ordinary words, but behind these words are dozens or even hundreds of "experiences" like dogs.
"No way, I don't have anyone more to trust me in." Wang Jingyan sighed.
Wang Lin is her youngest son, although he is a little unlearned and unskilled, but he must be used at such a critical time.
Geng Xiaofan didn't answer, and quickly went through the "interrogation record" and found that there was almost nothing useful.
"The murderer can't be among these people, and these people can't be aware." Geng Xiaofan closed Bai Juan and handed it back to Wang Jingyan.
"What's going on with Lu Yan's brother? When did he come? What to do? Geng Xiaofan found that there was no such person in the record just now.
"How do you know about him? Where do your doubts come from? Wang Jingyan had to admire Geng Xiaofan, he was keenly aware of this "suspicious" person in such a short period of time.
"He's been in the cellar and is the one most likely to know about the jug." Geng Xiaofan replied.
"His name is Lu Kuan. According to historical legend, Yu'er and his teachers Wu Zhang and Lu Kuan conspired to take advantage of Jujun's weakness of fearing the gods to pour dog blood on the door of his room, intending to make Jujun worry and fear, and then persuade him to allow Wei Ji to enter the palace. It's a pity that the matter was defeated, and several people were captured by the giant king. Jujun forced Yu'er to death, beheaded Wu Zhang, and destroyed Lu Kuanmanmen. Wang Jingyan truthfully told Geng Xiaofan the information she had consulted.
This is clearly not true. But this person must have something to do with Yu'er's death! Geng Xiaofan was a little excited.
"Do you want to meet this person?" Wang Jingyan asked.
"Absolutely. But before I can see it, I need to figure out something. When did he come and what did he do? "Geng Xiaofan does not fight unprepared battles.
He has been at home for some time, saying that it is to celebrate Yu'er's enthronement. Because he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he and Yu'er were like-minded, so they lived at home. ”
"Has he ever been an official? What is the title? ”
Wang Jingyan shook her head, "The Lu family is a strong man in Nanyang, and when we were in Xindu, it was Yu'er's marriage, and his family also came to propose marriage, so I chose Lu Yan." ”
"Why did you choose his house? Is there any particular reason? Geng Xiaofan wanted to know as much as possible about the situation of the Lu family.
"At that time, Jujun had just left the center, and it was when the family was depressed, and there was no one to make friends with us at all. And the old Mr. Lu family met Jujun as early as when he was studying in Chang'an, and the two also had some friendship and had a lot of contacts. Wang Jingyan began to explain as it was.
"At that time, although the Wang family had little power, they were also marquises, and they learned that Yu'er was unmarried, and there were many people from all over the neighborhood who came to get married. I cherished Lu Yan's talent, so I chose her. ”
"Cherish Lu Yan's talent? You knew Lu Yan at that time? Geng Xiaofan was a little strange.
"Lu Lao once came to the house for a banquet and gave me a famous post, which was written by Lu Yan himself. The handwriting is beautiful, somewhat similar to me, and the name is also Yan, so I became interested. Subsequently, I found an excuse to visit the Lu family and met the girl, which was very much in line with my heart, so I made a marriage contract. After she married into the Wang family, she didn't disappoint me, she handled it decently from top to bottom, inside and out, and had a good relationship with Yu'er. ”
Geng Xiaofan had seen Lu Yan in Shanggu, and at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, he just felt that the girl was shy and introverted. Only then did she know her background and origin.
"We said Lu Kuan, how did we talk about his sister?" Geng Xiaofan suddenly found that the two of them were a little off-topic.
"Lu Kuan has no official and no lord, and he met Yu'er when he was in the new capital. They are of the same age and may have more topics in common. However, I soon took Yu'er to Shanggu, and they probably won't have any deep friendships. Jujun returned to Beijing to join the center, and he may have intended to take advantage of the situation to take refuge. That's why I stayed at home for a little longer. Wang Jingyan also returned to the topic.
"How is he?" Geng Xiaofan inquired.
"I don't have much contact with him, you see, judge for yourself! I mislead you. ”
"It's okay, tell me about your impressions." Geng Xiaofan still knows as much as he can before preparing to act.
"The children of rich families, although they are not gentlemen, they are not considered talents."
"Oh! And who is that Wu Zhang? Geng Xiaofan had a general impression and began to understand Wu Zhang again.
"Pedant old pedant! Maybe it's not bad, but it often makes people angry and hateful! Wang Jingyan said, turned around and rummaged through the bookshelf behind her for a while, took out a roll of bamboo slips, and handed it to Geng Xiaofan.
"What is this?" Geng Xiaofan opened the bamboo slip and saw that it was a small seal sprinkled with joy, but he only looked at the title, feeling that he was not interested and was too lazy to read it.
