Chapter 350: Hidden Secrets
At night, Zhuan Ming left the mansion of Xiahou's family. He just happened to go to Xiahou's house at noon to talk to Xiahou Yi and Xiahou Zheng about some court matters, but who knew that he happened to bump into Jiang Qin, the third son of the Jiang family who came to Xiahou Mansion for help.
Jiang Qin told all the things about the eldest son in the family being poisoned and the murderer being rescued, hoping to get the help of the Xiahou family and catch the murderer.
Zhen Xuan Ming was originally not interested in these at all, but who knows, when Jiang Qin gave a general description of the appearance and clothing of the person who rescued Yun Lu, he listened attentively. Not because of anything else, but because the person Jiang Qin described was really familiar to him.
A person who is not afraid of the Jiang family and the forces behind the Jiang family at all, and he is richly dressed, and his appearance is even more handsome and graceful, and he seems to have a little feminine softness. What's more, that person's martial arts are not as good, especially if he has a good swordsmanship, he can make people angry when he speaks.
Such an unusually special person, you are said, and Zhen Ming thinks that he really knows one.
That is, his good sister - 颛顼染!
The more Jiang Qin spoke, the more angry he became, half of the thugs sent out by their Jiang family were basically killed, and most of the other half were still badly injured, but no one came back, how could he swallow this breath! What's more, with his father's life by his side, he naturally has to do his best to help.
Originally, the people of Xiahou's own family had no clue when they heard it, but Zhuan Ming said that he should know this person, and the person who rescued Yunlu should be the person from the Huaguo envoy's mansion who had just come to Shangguo.
Jiang Qin was also stunned by this, because to be honest, other rich and noble families are fine, and the envoys from Huaguo really don't have a direct search.
After Jiang Qin thought about it for a while, he finally couldn't resist the hatred in his heart and his father's coercion, so he cheekily asked Xiahou Yi for a search warrant.
It's just that Xiahou Yi didn't show too much surprise, he glanced at each other with Zhen Ming, and saw that Zhen Ming nodded, so he also had a plan in his heart, so he took the search warrant out with a smile, and specially instructed the Jiang family to wait for the banquet in the palace to start before going to the envoy's mansion to dignitaries. Because if it was that time, the fourth prince of Murong would definitely not be in the mansion, and there would be less of the biggest principal, and he would not offend people in person.
Jiang Qin nodded gratefully, and then left with the token.
And Xiahou Yi, who was still in the hall at the moment, glanced at Zhen Ming, and said, "Isn't the general going to explain to me?" ”
Zhen Ming said quietly: "Could it be that Lord Xiahou can't guess it?" ”
"It seems that the only person who can make the general react like this is that person." Xiahou Yi said with certainty: "I really don't know what she did to you, the general, so that the general you hate her so much, and you will know who she is when you hear it." ”
Zhen Ming had a calm face and did not speak.
Xiahou Zheng was also present, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Father, General Ye, the person you are talking about—but that Helian Yu, the regent of the Ning Kingdom?" ”
Xia Houyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this time the reaction is fast enough." ”
When Xiahou Zheng heard this, he thought about it carefully, and then his eyebrows seemed to be locked deeper, and he said: "But since the person who rescued Yunlu was Helian Yu, is it really good to let Jiang Qin directly come to the door to ask for someone?" Because of this, Helian Yu was completely offended by their Jiang family, and maybe it would drag down our Xiahou family. ”
"Zheng'er, after all, this is still a merchant country." Xia Houyi said.
As long as this is still a Shang country, then even if this controversy reaches the ears of Shang Jun, Shang Jun should eventually be towards the Shang people. What's more, this is a great opportunity to push the Jiang family out, where could they miss it?
"At most, this time it can only add a block to Helian Yu, if you really want to make the Jiang family defeated, then I'm afraid you can't do it. After all, Helian Yu is best at saying that black is white, and what you don't believe in can also be said to be true. I don't know if the Jiang family will be woken up by Helian Yu, we still have to deal with it. "Zhen Ming still knows the most about jade dyeing, so he can roughly imagine what might happen after Jiang Qin went to make trouble in the minister's mansion.
Xia Houyi listened, and nodded silently in agreement.
And Xiahou Zheng listened to it on the side, thought about it for himself, and seemed to recall a more important matter, "By the way, last time General Ye said that the seal of the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom that was originally placed in the back mountain of Haotian Sect should have been taken away by Helian Yu, can this matter be confirmed?" After all, Helian Yu happened to be in Shangguo right now, and this may be the only chance we can verify it well. ”
"When I went to Houshan at that time, I did see Shang Yinjun again, but he said that he no longer had what I wanted in his hands. I asked him who he had befriended, and he only said that he was a person with whom I was destined, so I could not confirm it. But at that time, I inquired in Haotian Sect, and learned that just a few days before I arrived, Murong Anlan, the fifth prince of Huaguo, also returned to the sect, and there were two other people who came with him next to the five princes of Huaguo, one of whom was the man Helian Yu dressed up in his daily life. Later, Murong Anlan returned to Huaguo, and there were two more days in the Huaguo court, one was a Taifu named Yujin, and the other was a deputy general named Liang Zhu. Recently, the loss of the crown prince and the third prince of Huaguo must have been known to everyone, which can make Hua Jun deflated, and prevent outsiders from discovering the strange cause of infighting between the princes, and then solve them, I think only she Helian Yu dares to do this!
And now, Helian Yu blatantly came to Shang with Murong Xi, the fourth prince of Huaguo, because he had paid special attention to the affairs of the Shang Kingdom. Helian Yu never does useless things, let alone just for the sake of a Murong attack, he directly left Ning Guo and came directly to Shang Guo. Perhaps, with these existing circumstances, the possibility of Helian Yu getting the seal of the Shang Emperor is still very great. Zhen Xuanming's eyes were deep.
After listening to this, Xiahou Yi first felt that Zhen Xuming's analysis was reasonable, and then sighed: "I didn't expect the general to know Helian Yu so well, it seems that there is really an unsolvable contradiction between Helian Yu and the general." ”
Xiahou Zheng listened to it on the side, and suddenly there seemed to be a white-clothed Qingjun figure vaguely in his mind, he thought about it with a frown, and finally his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly said: "Father, General Ye, I remember!" At that time, my sister and I met a white-clothed boy who called himself 'Jade Brocade' in Haotian Sect, but at that time we only got along for less than half an hour, so I forgot about it for a while. According to my father and General Ye, I am a little more sure - that person is Helian Yucai. ”
"That's for sure." Xia Houyi said.
"We can't do it directly in the open now, even in the dark. Helian Yu is extremely defensive, even if you just make a very small move, he can deduce what may happen next. His dark eyes flashed, and he said.
"Well, just as the general said." Xia Houyi nodded and agreed.
Zhen Ming turned his head to look at the already darkening sky outside, as if he suddenly thought of something, his expression moved slightly, and he turned to Xiahou Yi and the others: "It's not early, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." ”
Xiahou Yi and Xiahou Zheng also got up to see off Zhuan Ming, Xiahou Yi saw that Zhen Ming's expression was different, so he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Could it be that the general just happened to have an appointment with a beautiful woman, so he was so anxious?" ”
Zhen Xuan was stunned when he heard this, but instead raised his eyes and glanced at Xiahou Yi, without saying a word.
"It's me who said it, and please don't blame the general." Xiahou Yixuan changed his attitude and smiled.
After Zhen Xuming left, Xiahou Yi sat down on the main seat again, and his expression turned into a quiet one.
"Father, don't you think that this General Ye seems to have a lot of secrets?" Xiahou Zheng's eyes were sharp.
Xiahou Yi's fingers tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair again and again, making a muffled sound, and he seemed to be seriously thinking about Xiahou Zheng's question, and finally said expressionlessly but meaningfully: "The others are not very sure." But - is the real relationship between him and Helian Yu...... It's worth discussing. By the way, a few days ago, we welcomed a new guest secretary in our house? ”
"Yes, father, although that Duanmuyi is no longer confused, he is quite thoughtful when he considers things, and there are some things that I have to admire. However, he said that he had to make some preparations first, pack up his belongings and then enter Xiahou Mansion, which should be there in two days. Xiahou Zheng responded.
"That's right...... Since it is a talented person, it is natural that he must not be treated with ordinary courtesy, Zheng'er, you go and arrange it well. Xia Houyi said.
"Yes, father."
"By the way, there's one more thing......"
"Father, what is it?" Xiahou Zheng was puzzled.
"It's the murderer who killed the Jiang family's son in Jiang Qin's mouth just now......" Xiahou Yi remembered that Jiang Qin said that the murderer's name was Yunlu.
Xiahou Zheng was stunned when he heard this, although his memory when he was a child was not completely clear, he still remembered what his mother had told him, that is, his father had a child with a lowly Huanyi maid of the Jiang family, whose name was Yunlu. But his mother had told him about it in private, and even his father didn't know he knew about it.
"Father, what's wrong with that murderer?" Xiahou Zheng asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiahou Yi was silent, did not respond directly, but shook his head and said, "It's okay, I think there are some things that I think about too much." He remembered that at that time, his wife told him that Yun Lu had secretly run out at night and fell into the river and was drowned, and the body found at that time was also indiscriminate, and Xiahou Yi couldn't make a noise, so he could only hastily order someone to bury it, and he didn't even set up a clothed mound.
