Qiu Zeyuan pondered for a moment and then said: "You also have to take care of yourself, I will handle the rest of the things, you can be relieved." ”

He Yanjun bowed solemnly, not long after she left, Mo Fen arrived, she saw Xin Daiyi lying on the ground, and screamed sadly: "Aunt Daiyi! ”

Qiu Zeyuan pulled out the sharp arrow on Xin Daiyi's back and asked, "Mo Fen, what kind of poison is painted on this arrow?" ”

Mo Fen wiped away his tears, took the arrow and carefully identified it, and asked, "Overseer, how long did it take for Aunt Dai to die after being hit by the arrow?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan seemed to be about to crush his teeth, "Killed on the spot." ”

Mo Fen thought for a while and then said: "This is a blood seal on the throat, and the poisoned person dies when he encounters blood." ”

"See blood seal your throat? Since Taizong died in the blood and sealed his throat, the entire Pudong has strictly forbidden the transportation and trading of this poison, and the only place where this poison is collected is ......"

Mo Fen immediately knelt in front of Qiu Zeyuan and said in fear: "The Overseers have clearly noticed that Mo Fen has definitely not used this poison recently, let alone handed it over to anyone. The Overseers can go to the Secret Vault to check out, but Morfin has no second thoughts about the Overseers! ”

Qiu Zeyuan picked up Mo Fen and said, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have summoned you to find out the poison, but you haven't touched this poison, and the others in the medicine vault haven't touched it?" ”

"The people in the medicine vault are only guarding the outside, they are not qualified or able to enter the inner chamber of Tibetan medicine, if someone trespasses, I will detect it at the first time, but there is nothing abnormal in the medicine vault. The only key is with me, and I always wear it close to me. With that, Muffin turned his back and took out the key from his bosom.

Qiu Zeyuan rubbed the key and thought to himself, in this way, this poison was obtained by the perpetrator from a place other than Pudong, and the person who has the heart and strength to kill me will only have something to do with Puxi...... Lu Tiansheng...... No, although Lu Tiansheng has a strong heart, he doesn't know the terrain and inside of the Overseer's Mansion that well. He must have had an accomplice in Pudong......

He Yanjun's words poured into Qiu Zeyuan's mind, this person must be by our side! People who are involved with Puxi......

"Someone, prepare the car!"

The family in front of Tong Baiyi's mansion saw that the overseers led hundreds of soldiers to surround the entire mansion, and just wanted to run to report to the master when Zheng Feng killed him with a sword, and the other family members were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and trembled, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Zheng Feng picked up one of them and said gloomily: "If you want to live, stay here honestly and don't make a sound, and answer me a question." ”

The man nodded again and again, and Zheng Feng asked, "Where is Tong Baiyi?" ”

The family pointed to the mansion and replied tremblingly, "The master is in the bedroom." ”

Zheng Feng let go of the man, walked to the car window and said to Qiu Zeyuan, "Overseer, Tong Baiyi is in the bedroom. ”

Qiu Zeyuan's palm was bruised by himself, and he said fiercely: "Bring someone with me." ”

For some reason, the soft evening breeze whimpered at this moment, causing people to be upset, as if they were waiting for the spring thunder to roll and the drizzle......

Qiu Zeyuan kicked open Tong Baiyi's door in anger, and a woman let out an exclamation of "ah" and curled up in the quilt.

Qiu Zeyuan dragged the sleepy-eyed Tong Baiyi up, and slammed him against the wall, Tong Baiyi's screams were not yet sounded, and a gun was already on his forehead.

Overseer...... The woman who had been curled up under the covers rolled over again.

Qiu Zeyuan ordered: "Zheng Feng, bring Mrs. Tong to the guest room, take care of it, and don't be embarrassed." ”

Zheng Feng picked up the cover roll and left, Tong Baiyi seemed to be very frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Zeyuan...... No, no...... Overseer, where are you singing? I...... I didn't offend you. ”

Qiu Zeyuan held back his anger, his entire eyes turned blood-red, and he only squeezed out the word "you" from between his teeth for a while. Tong Baiyi blinked innocently and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan punched him in the face, pointed the gun at him again, and shouted angrily: "You killed Dai Wei!" ”

Tong Baiyi exclaimed: "What?! Dai is dead?! ”

Qiu Zeyuan picked him up from the ground again, pressed him heavily against the wall, and pressed his jaw with a gun, so that he had to look directly at himself, "What are you pretending to be foolish here?!" After so many years, no matter how Feng Yi and I treat you, your hatred for us has not diminished for a day! Say! The porcelain shop that Ling Jiong and Qiao Xuan found out a few days ago is not yours? You want to kill me, but you killed Dai by mistake. I'll kill you! As he spoke, he took another step forward.

Tong Baiyi raised his hands, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he cried: "Lord Overseer, I have been wronged, how dare I kill you?" I didn't even kill Dai Wei! Since you and my brother forbade me from coming last autumn, I haven't stepped out of the mansion for a day, and I've been thinking about it in the middle of the house. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mu Xin, she was married to me by you, if you don't believe me, you should always believe her words, right? How could I possibly kill Dai Wei? It's really wronged......"

Qiu Zeyuan snorted coldly, "Of course you won't blatantly go out to see the lackeys sent by Lu Tiansheng!" Look at me digging out the secret passages in your house, what else do you have to say! Come! Give me a closer look! ”

"Wait......" Tong Baiyi hurriedly stopped Qiu Zeyuan, Qiu Zeyuan thought he was weak-hearted, but he didn't expect him to tell Qiu Zeyuan's relatives the location of the three secret rooms and secret compartments in the mansion, and also instructed them to investigate carefully, and return him to a clean slate after finding out.

After the soldiers left, although Qiu Zeyuan's gun was still against Tong Baiyi, his strength was obviously a little slack. A moment later, after the three-way investigation of the secret room and the secret grid's personal soldiers returned, they all shook their heads at Qiu Zeyuan. Yan Bingzhi, who was inspecting the secret room of the study, said: "Overseer, the secret room of the study is full of top-secret documents of the Financial Secretary, and my subordinates dare not look at them at will. In addition, the subordinates checked every corner of the secret room, and there was indeed no secret passage to the outside of the house. ”

After a few more moments, the soldiers who had inspected the rest of the province also returned, but the result was the same as that of the three people.

Tong Baiyi reminded Qiu Zeyuan very intimately, "Overseer, do you want to listen to what Mu Xin and my maid or family member have to say?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan's face was pale, he pulled Tong Baiyi's right arm with one hand, raised his leg and kicked him on both knees, Tong Baiyi was in pain, and knelt on the ground, only to hear the sound of "click", Tong Baiyi's face was instantly whiter than paper.

Qiu Zeyuan squatted in front of Tong Baiyi, pinched his cheeks, and said coldly: "I have no evidence in my hands, I can't kill you to avenge Dai Wei." But even if I have the evidence in my hands, I can't kill you. For before thy father departed, thy brother and I knelt before him and promised him that we would keep thy wealth and peace all thy lives, no matter what. As a seven-foot man, I can't break my promise, but we haven't guaranteed how you will live this life in wealth and peace, so I can let you live a rich and peaceful life in a healthy and upright manner, or you can be paralyzed and decadent, and live a rich and peaceful life in shackles. And what kind of life you can live is still up to you. Tong Baiyi, this is the last time I calmly advise you, you are so self-conscious! After speaking, Qiu Zeyuan brushed his sleeves and left.

When Nian Muxin returned to the room and saw Tong Baiyi who was slumped on the ground, she was so shocked that she hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but Tong Baiyi opened her with her left arm and shouted, "Get out!" ”

Nian Muxin was so frightened that she cried and ran out in a hurry......

Tong Baiyi barely supported his body with his only left arm, lay back on the couch, and there was another "click", beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his sideburns, he bit his lip painfully, and the thick bloody gas spread in his mouth, but he didn't realize it, only rubbing his newly recovered right arm.

After a while, he looked out the window faintly, heard the faint sound of soldiers arriving at their posts in the spring thunder, and laughed silently......

After Xin Daiyi's death, Tong Fengyi was also taken away from half of his life, if it weren't for He Yanjun staying by his side day and night when his high fever did not go away, holding his hand firmly when he was delirious and talking nonsense, and weeping silently with him when he wailed and cried and couldn't help himself, I was afraid that the half of his remaining life would also leave with Xin Daiyi.

When he really woke up, Xin Daiyi had been buried for many days, and he didn't mention the worship, and everyone didn't dare to ask. Qiu Zeyuan heard that Tong Fengyi came to his senses and hurried to Tong's mansion, Tong Fengyi was eating under the care of He Yanjun, He Yanjun saw Qiu Zeyuan, and hurriedly put down the blue and white entwined hollyhock pattern bowl in his hand, got up and saluted, and when she wanted to pick up the bowl to feed Tong Fengyi porridge, she found that he had already served the bowl and drank the porridge by himself. He Yanjun smiled awkwardly, Qiu Zeyuan knew that Tong Fengyi's dark fire was caused by him, so he smiled and said to He Yanjun: "I haven't had dinner yet, I miss the braised pork cooked by my sister-in-law, I wonder if my sister-in-law can work hard?" ”

He Yanjun knew that he wanted to talk to Tong Fengyi alone, so naturally he would not refuse. After she left, Qiu Zeyuan sat opposite Tong Fengyi, thinking about how to speak, while Tong Fengyi was concentrating on eating his gruel and side dishes, and he didn't even glance at Qiu Zeyuan.

After a while, Tong Fengyi suddenly got up, and Qiu Zeyuan also hurriedly stood up, thinking that he wanted to get up and leave, but found that he was just thirsty after eating and went to find water to drink. Qiu Zeyuan had just relaxed his vigilance, but when he saw Tong Fengyi put down the water glass and walked out, Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly stopped him, "Feng Yi, right ......"

"You don't have to say it. I know what you're trying to say, sorry, aren't you? These three words ......" Tong Fengyi laughed sadly, "It's too light, it can't get back Xiao'er's life at all, and it can't make up for my pain and suffering for more than ten years." Zeyuan, ask yourself, is she by your side and has a good life? I don't want to lie to you, I can't just forgive you as easily as I used to when I hear you say something innocuous and apologize. I hate you and hate you as much as I hate myself and hate myself. ”

Qiu Zeyuan was full of sorrow, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was just about to open his mouth when he heard Tong Fengyi say: "Actually, I have no reason to blame you, I have never told you my thoughts about Dai Wei, how can you know?" I will not abolish my father-in-law for personal reasons, you are still my lord, and the entire Tong clan will still be loyal to you, as for whether you still want to believe in me, it is your business. ”

After saying that, Tong Fengyi ordered someone to prepare a car and go to the Financial Secretary to deal with the official affairs that had piled up over the past few days.

He Yanjun heard that Tong Fengyi left Qiu Zeyuan and left the house by himself, so he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and rushed over, and saw Qiu Zeyuan standing in front of the hall quietly looking up at the sky, and also turned to look at the sky......

A waning moon hung obliquely on the desolate night, He Yanjun's eyebrows and eyes were sad, the scenery of the full moon was still vivid, Dai Wei was still a phoenix crown, smiling lightly, but only a few days, the old man was already cold and icy, sleeping underground. In the middle of the day, the moon is full, and there is no peace, and there is no return. No matter how cruel the years are, the people who live in the world still have to move on.

He Yanjun turned around and said to Qiu Zeyuan: "Feng Yi just can't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he will get better slowly." You don't blame him. ”

Qiu Zeyuan sighed: "I don't blame him, I just hate myself, I have known him for more than 40 years, but I don't know what is going on in his heart!" If it is ......" Qiu Zeyuan suddenly felt that his words were a little inappropriate, He Yanjun smiled: "If you know that Feng Yi cares about Dai Yi, you will try your best to fulfill them, right?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan wanted to defend himself, but when he saw He Yanjun's smiling eyes, he suddenly smiled and sighed: "Feng Yi is right, you are indeed a smart woman. Not only empathetic, but also bending. ”

He Yanjun feigned anger and said, "You two are still talking about me together?!" ”

Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, I just mentioned it by chance, Feng Yi has never arranged a sister-in-law with me." ”

He Yanjun raised his eyebrows, "This is not self-defeating, is it?" I didn't say he orchestrated me. ”

Qiu Zeyuan was dumbfounded by her, but he smiled again: "Okay...... You also said that you have known each other for more than 40 years, and the friendship of so many years cannot be wiped out overnight. ”

Qiu Zeyuan's depression that he had no one to complain about in the past few days was relieved, and he no longer forced Tong Fengyi to forgive him so quickly, so he chatted with He Yanjun for a few more words and went home......

"Daisy, I'm back." Qiu Zeyuan returned to the main building and shouted habitually, when he reacted, there could be no more such person, no matter when he went home, he would greet the cold and ask for warmth, a chill spread from his heart to his whole body, but at this moment, a voice as gentle as water jumped into Qiu Zeyuan's eardrums, "You are back......"

"Dai Wei!" Qiu Zeyuan was surprised and delighted, and turned around suddenly, only to find that it was a plain suit.

Yiyou avoided Qiu Zeyuan's disappointed gaze, turned behind him, took off his blazer for him, and said, "Dinner has been prepared, I wonder if you have used dinner outside?" ”

Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly took the coat in Yiyou's hand and asked, "You have been waiting for me, haven't you had dinner yet?" ”

Yi You's chin bowed, Qiu Zeyuan frowned and said, "What time is this?" Don't do this in the future, if I don't come back, you can eat it yourself. ”

Yiyou's head was buried lower, Qiu Ze saw her like this, thinking that she was still sad about Dai Wei's death, she lost her temper for a moment, and said softly: "I haven't eaten yet, let's go eat first." ”

In the days when they hosted Xin Dai's funeral, Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou ate a few bites of snacks at will to cope with the meal, and tonight was the first time to return to the table, but neither of them could swallow the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of them, Yiyou didn't dare to look up, Qiu Zeyuan didn't dare to turn sideways, they were afraid of seeing the empty seat opposite and beside them.

Yiyou warned herself over and over again in her heart not to cry, if you are sad, he will be even more sad, but the tears still flow down uncontrollably, she can only lift the cloud bird and beast pattern ceramic bowl high, hiding her whole face in the bowl.

Qiu Ze's far-sighted red tears had slipped onto the grub-like jade neck, but he was still holding the bowl high, and unspeakable sourness welled up in his heart. The child was born orphaned, and it was not easy to find a lover, and the aunt, who was like a biological mother, passed away......

"Overseer." Zheng Feng's voice interrupted Qiu Zeyuan's worries, and Zheng Feng saw that the young lady was also in the hall, so he didn't step forward. Qiu Zeyuan motioned for Zheng Feng to go out, and Qiu Zeyuan also walked outside the building with Zheng Feng and asked in a low voice, "Found it?" ”

Zheng Feng also lowered his voice and said, "Yes, but...... The Overseer's Day mourns, and by the time we find Ling Gongzi, he has been dead for a long time. ”

Qiu Zeyuan's eyes darkened, and he forced himself to calm down, "He...... How did he die? Where did you find him? Explain it to me from beginning to end. ”

Zheng Feng said: "Back to the Overseer, we found Ling Gongzi at the foot of a steep slope in the hunting ground in the northern suburbs, and the forensic doctor said that Ling Gongzi committed suicide. ”

"Suicide?"

"Yes, cut your neck with a knife. The subordinates saw the knife with their own eyes, which was the self-defense knife worn by Ling Gongzi. ”

Qiu Zeyuan hesitated and muttered, "Could it be that the person who wants to kill me on the wedding day is Qiu Lingjiong?" After he mistakenly killed Dai Wei, he thought that I must have realized that he had done it, so he committed suicide in fear of sin? ”

Zheng Feng didn't dare to answer, and listened to Qiu Zeyuan ask, "Has Tong Baiyi made any moves in the past few days?" ”

Zheng Feng shook his head, "Our people have been following Second Master Tong all the time, and he doesn't have any abnormalities. ”

"Go and invite Director Tong and ask him to see me in the study." Zheng Feng was about to leave after receiving the order, but Qiu Zeyuan pulled him back again, "Invite Miss Tong too." ”

After Zheng Feng left, Qiu Zeyuan kept pacing in the courtyard, always feeling that Qiu Lingjiong's death was too strange, if he sent someone to kill him, his only purpose should be to seize the throne, then he should choose to force the palace to usurp the throne after killing Dai Yi by mistake, rather than quietly committing suicide. Also, if he just committed suicide in fear of sin, why didn't he just break it off in his own mansion and have to run to a place so far away from the hunting ground in the northern suburbs? The only explanation is that he did not commit suicide voluntarily, but was forced to commit suicide, so who could not keep him? Tong Baiyi? But Tong Baiyi hates himself and Feng Yi, he should be very willing to help Qiu Lingwei rebel and avenge himself, there is no reason to kill Qiu Lingyi! Or is it Lu Tiansheng's person? This seems to be the only truth that makes sense, Qiu Lingwei is the only successor to Pudong, kill Qiu Lingji, Qiu will have no successor, no matter how powerful the army is, if the dragons have no capital, it will become a plate of scattered sand, and then it will be easy for Lu Tiansheng to annex Pudong. But there is another thing, although Qiu Lingjiong's mind is not as stable as Mount Tai, it is not vulnerable, how did Lu Tiansheng force Qiu Lingwei to commit suicide......

All kinds of fog is confusing, Qiu Zeyuan can't judge who is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything for a while, and now he can only brake quietly, waiting for the opponent to reveal more flaws, so that he can follow the vine and dig him out!

"Yuqing." As soon as Bai Qiaoxuan arrived at the Overseer's Mansion, he saw Tong Yuqing coming out of the car in front of him.

"Qiao Xuan, are you here too? You're here to find Yoyo, right? Tong Yuqing looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, who was dressed in a white suit, a black printed shirt and a dark blue tie, and smiled.

"Yes, you don't know how busy I am these days, and if I can sleep for an hour or two every day, I will be satisfied." Bai Qiaoxuan swept around, saw that there was no one around, lowered his voice and said: "After Qiu Lingxuan's death, everything fell on me, the co-ordinator, and I was really a little powerless. ”

Tong Yuqing laughed out loud and whispered, "I can't even stand this little bit of hard work, and dare to say that I dream of becoming an Overseer one day?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan hated to be able to seal Tong Yuqing's mouth, "Only you and I dared to tell you what was in my heart that day." This is at the gates of the Overseer's Palace! How can you be so open-mouthed? ”

Tong Yuqing clasped her hands together, kept waving, and said with a smile: "Okay, Lord Xietong, the little girl knows that she is wrong, and she promises not to say it in the future." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled and sighed: "You, sometimes majestic and cold like a harsh winter wind, sometimes delicate and smooth like a spring willow in March, I can't tell which one is the real you." ”

Tong Yuqing smiled: "What about me, why aren't you like this?" ”

"You haven't been affected by Qiu Lingwei at all, I really don't know whether to be glad for you, you can finally get rid of the marriage contract that you don't want to bear at all, or should you be sad for you, the person who has been with you for so many years, and almost became your husband is never in your heart."

Tong Yuqing's face turned cold and asked, "Are you blaming me for being ruthless?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan shook his head again and again and explained, "Of course not. What kind of character Qiu Lingjian is, you and I both know that you didn't marry him as you wished, of course I'm happy for you. I just lamented that creation makes people, and the world is impermanent. ”

Tong Yuqing heard Bai Qiaoxuan say this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, from the New Year to now, in just three months, three old people have passed away one after another. It stands to reason that you have to keep filial piety for Aunt Dai for three years, and your marriage can only be postponed. I don't know what to do...... That's it, only God knows the fate of each of us, I just need to do my best to do what I need to do, and I am worthy of my heart. ”

"What a worthy one!" Bai Qiaoxuan praised. He inadvertently glanced at the car behind Tong Yuqing, suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, who are you looking for when you came to the Overseer's Mansion?" Why don't you see Yao Yao? Didn't she follow you? ”

Tong Yuqing stared at Bai Qiaoxuan for a long time and was speechless, Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I just asked casually, I didn't want to see Yao Yao." ”

Tong Yuqing frowned, and said angrily: "It's good to know, otherwise you won't be able to please it, and even I will be blamed for not being strict and disciplined." I'm here to find the Overseers. Aunt Dai has just left, I'm afraid that Youyou is in a bad mood, and these days I send Yao Yao to send her some fashionable things to make her laugh, so Yao Yao is not by my side at this time. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled dryly, hurriedly diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "You see we only cared about talking, and we didn't even enter the door, let's go in first......"
