Chapter Seventy-Six: The Cause of My Father's Death
"Brother Jing, don't you want us? Brother Jing, woo woo. Xiaocao heard that Fang Jing was going to leave them in the Yiguo Mansion, so she was so anxious that she hugged Fang Jing's leg and cried loudly after getting off the bed, and Datou and Xiaoshu also came over to hug Fang Jing and cry.
Fang Jing looked at the current situation, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, after getting along for so many days, his relationship with these three little babies was very good, it was rare that when the little girl heard that Qin Qiong was going to leave them in the Qin Mansion, the little girl was the first to hug herself, Fang Jing's heart was sour.
"Big head, small tree, little grass, it's not that Brother Jing doesn't want you, Brother Jing wants to go to a far place, and he has to go to other places, it's inconvenient to take you with you, you will stay in the Yiguo Mansion in the future, and no one will dare to bully you, right?" Fang Jing is a person who can't comfort people, so she can't say anything about the point at all.
"Woo woo, Brother Jing, I don't want new clothes, I don't want new shoes, I don't want to eat delicious food, Brother Jing, don't leave us, my brothers and I will be obedient and sing well." The little girl's heart could only express this, but it was so harsh to the ears of adults and Fang Jing.
The three little babies followed Fang Jing all the way, crossed the Qinling Meridian Road from Jinzhou, came to this Chang'an City, and slept in the open every day, not to mention how good the food was, even adults could bear the hardships they experienced along the way, not to mention the three little babies, Fang Jing's care and concern for the three of them was something they had never had in the previous two years, and they had never experienced it, which also made the hearts of the three of them, only Fang Jing, Brother Jing, was a good elder, a good brother, and only stayed by Fang Jing's side. The three of them felt safe.
"Children, don't cry, you will be in my Qin Mansion in the future, no one will bully you, I will buy you new clothes and shoes in the future, and make food for you, come to me." Jia Shi listened to the crying of the little babies, and his heart was also inexplicably uncomfortable, perhaps because of the nature of being a mother.
The little babies only knew that they were crying and shouting while hugging Fang Jing, but they wouldn't listen to what Jia Shi said, and only Fang Jing could understand their feelings, but what could they do now.
"Don't you want to read? Don't you want to be literate? Follow me everywhere, how can you read and write? Fang Jing said to the three little babies again.
"Brother Jing, we don't read and write anymore, Brother Jing, don't leave us, woo woo." Xiaocao's two big eyes with tears in her eyes looked at Fang Jing pitifully.
"Nonsense, if you don't read and write, how can you be reasonable, know right and wrong, and dare to say this again, see if I don't beat you?" Fang Jing was also a little angry when she heard this, and she really wanted to slap the little girl ruthlessly.
"In this way, you will live here with Yiguo Gong first, and then Brother Jing will come to pick you up after finishing his errands, is this feasible? I have to travel a long way to do things, but I really can't take you with me, is it okay now? When I'm done, I'll come over and take you back to Fangjia Village immediately, if you don't agree, I won't care about you anymore. Fang Jing only compromised in the end.
After hearing this, the three little babies also thought about it in their hearts, stopped crying, wiped their tears, and nodded in agreement.
"Duke Yiguo, madam, look at this ......" Fang Jing was very helpless, so she had to ask Qin Qiong and his wife for their opinions, but she still hoped in her heart that Qin Qiong and his wife would be able to take care of these three hard-working little babies.
"Nephew Jing, don't worry, as long as it's in the Qin Mansion, no one dares to bully them." Qin Qiong patted her chest and hurriedly punched the package ticket.
"Duke Xie Yiguo, Mrs. Xie." Fang Jing got up and made a big salute to Qin Qiong and his wife.
Great gift, arms slightly bent, palm wide open, left palm flat post right palm Shen straight after the mother pointed upward, forming a door shape, and then at 90 degrees bend down to salute, the time needs to pass three or five seconds later, this is the old system of the big gift, so the big gift, generally to the respected or noble people salute, or apprenticeship and other occasions will be a big salute, of course, the common people in the rural villages, the size of the etiquette is actually not divided.
Qin Qiong helped Fang Jing up, and it can be regarded as connecting to this relationship, whether it is close or sparse, it is always connected to this relationship.
Qin Qiong looked at all this at the moment, and had a rough judgment of Fang Jing in his heart, he was kind-hearted, but he was not ruthless enough, he was clear about advancing and retreating, but he knew that it was difficult, as for Fang Jing who had always called him the Duke of Yiguo, he also understood that Fang Jing did not want to touch the light of his Duke of Yiguo, this was also the point that Qin Qiong looked at Fang Jing highly, and called him a nephew Jing, but it was just for his father, he really didn't really treat him as a nephew in his heart; For the three little babies, he won't put it in his eyes, in the Qin Mansion is just a few more people to eat, people who are used to seeing life and death, and people who have ended many lives, human life is impossible to value in their eyes.
Everyone sat back on the couch and began to chat about some things again, the two sides had their own questions and answers, of course, the main family still needed to treat Fang Jing as a guest.
"Yi Guogong, can you tell me how my father died?" Fang Jing finally asked the question in his heart, Fang Jing really wanted to find out how Fang De died.
"This, nephew Jing, when the swords and soldiers meet each other on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable, don't chase the root cause too much, your father's death is my fault, I didn't take him into account." Of course, Qin Qiong was not very willing to tell Fang Jing too many things in her heart, so she had to avoid Fang Jing's question at will.
"Duke Yiguo, please tell me how my father died in battle? I have heard that my father was poisoned. Since Fang Jing asked, he naturally wanted to know something from Qin Qiong's mouth, as a son of man, he must find out the cause of his father's death.
"Where did you know that? Who told you? Who else knows about this? Qin Qiong stood up in shock, staring at Fang Jing with both eyes and asking three questions in a row.
"Yiguo Gong, my father was poisoned, right? Your subordinate Wang Jiezhi was also poisoned, right? Fang Jing didn't answer Qin Qiong's question directly, stared straight at Qin Qiong and asked, Fang Jing also could tell from Qin Qiong's figure and eyes that this matter was a little strange, maybe there was some conspiracy in it.
"I don't care who you know anything from, but don't believe that your father was killed in battle, not poisoned; Koharu, you help your wife go back to the room first. Qin Qiong was a little surprised, who did this Fang Jing learn about this, but she didn't want her wife to know too much, so she told Yahuan.
When the maid named Xiaochun helped Jia Shi to leave, before Jia Shi left, he also told Qin Qiong not to be angry, and to talk about things, these Fang Jing looked at it in his eyes, analyzing what his father was poisoned for.
"Nephew Jing, the death of your father and the death of Wang Jiezhi are not considered by someone in my Qin, but it is reasonable that he was poisoned by the enemy in the military formation, and you don't have to investigate it deeply, so many years have passed since this matter, you have grown up, and you will have to live a good life in the future." Qin Qiong said calmly to Fang Jing.
"Yi Guogong, according to the right reason, as your bodyguard, he should belong to the Chinese army, if the enemy infiltrates your Chinese army, why is it simply poisoned? There are so many people in my father and the uncles of the Fang family, it is impossible for them to be poisoned by some enemies who infiltrated the Chinese army, this is not the first time, Captain Wang's death is the next day, so I also ask Yiguo to announce the reason, as a person from Fangjia Village, I should know how the people of my village died, and I implore Yiguo to know. Fang Jing got up and saluted Qin Qiong again, hoping that Qin Qiong would tell the reason.
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's that the reason for this really involves some nobles, even if you know it, what then?" After Qin Qiong helped Fang Jing up, she looked at Fang Jing and shook her head.
"Yiguo Gong, no matter what, we, the people of Fangjia Village, should know the reason for the death of the Fang family, we will not say much if we die in normal battles or die of disease, but I don't want my father and uncles to be unable to face their ancestors after they die." Fang Jing pleaded with Qin Qiong again.
"That's it, there is indeed a reason for the death of the man in Fangjia Village, my former right commander army had many personnel transferred from Puzhou to the right commander army at that time, your father and the Fang family man too, and then they were on the battlefield, they were also brave to kill the enemy, I transferred your father and them to the Chinese army guard battalion, and finally lost many times in the attack on Luoyang, someone reported some battlefield conditions to the prince, the prince to the current saint to play the king of Qin has no virtue, the saint decreed to denounce the king of Qin, the king of Qin thought that there were spies in our department, but after the investigation, it was not determined who it was, I just knew that there was a letter from the guard battalion, and there were 200 personnel in the first regiment of the guard battalion, and it was really difficult to investigate thoroughly, and finally the guard battalion was organized into the Tiger Guard Battalion. Qin Qiong said carefully, Fang Jing and the three little babies also listened quietly, and did not make a sound.
"But in the end, the Tiger Guard Battalion was all poisoned, only two brigade commanders and captains were not poisoned on the day they left the camp because of something, but the captain was poisoned the next day after returning to the camp, and the two brigade commanders were also at the end of the final investigation, and committed suicide with swords on the spot, of course, I don't know who gave the order, but King Qin and I also sent people to investigate, and finally found out the order of a partial general from the supply department, and then checked further, basically no useful information was found, and finally after the matter was blocked, it was over." With Qin Qiong's story, Fang Jing also analyzed it roughly.
"Yi Guogong, dare to ask whose person is it during the investigation? Is it your people or King Qin's people? May I ask if only the people from the Tiger Guard Battalion were poisoned at that time? Or were there people from other battalions who were also poisoned? Fang Jing thought about all kinds of possibilities, analyzing the antecedents of the matter and the winners.
"At that time, there were my people, there were also people from King Qin and people from Jingde, in order to block the news, not too many people went to investigate, and only the people from the Tiger Guard Battalion were poisoned, and the other camp guards knew about it after the fifth day." Qin Qiong still told Fang Jing what happened at that time.
Fang Jing didn't ask Qin Qiong anymore, because he almost already knew a rough idea, and in the end he only needed to determine the possibility, the vested interests were only the King of Qin and the crown prince, the king of Qin didn't want spies to hide in his army, and the prince didn't want his people to be found out, but who was in the end, only these two people knew best, Fang Jing didn't know which direction to investigate, what happened many years ago, basically no one could know about it, and those who knew it were all these big guys.
"Thank you, Wing Guogong." Fang Jing got up and saluted, then just stood like this, looking out of the side hall door.
"Yiguo Gong, it's getting late, we have to go back, otherwise the door will be closed, I will disturb Yi Guogong in a few days, please forgive me then." After Fang Jing saluted Qin Qiong, she took Xiaocao's little hand and waited for Qin Qiong's reply.
"Okay, then I won't keep you, you can go back and pack some things, and send them to me when the time comes, you can also rest assured to find the bones of your father and the Fang family's man, be careful on the road, send someone to inform me of something." Qin Qiong instructed Fang Jing.
"Xie Yiguogong, let's go back, Yiguogong stays." Bidding farewell to Qin Qiong, Qin Wen took Fang Jing to the ear gate of the Qin Mansion.
After leaving the Qin Mansion, Fang Jing didn't stop, and walked directly to Xicheng with the three little babies, without speaking, thinking in his heart, who was so scared that he ordered? Li Shimin? Or Li Jiancheng? Fang Jing really wanted to figure out these things, but there had to be a sequence of things, he had to go back to Chang'an with the bones first, and then take a look, Fang Jing really didn't know that what happened in the future completely disrupted Fang Jing's original plan and itinerary.
