Chapter 149: Yu Yao's Request
The next day, the autumn mood is gradually thickening, walking on the road, the foot is soft ground, there is a layer of fallen leaves on it, occasionally there will be withered yellow leaves falling and falling, adding to the sadness, it seems that it is so a little bit of sadness, resulting in Xiao Suo, even if walking in the city of Huiji County, there is not much popularity, pedestrians are there, but the line is in a hurry, there is no tranquility of the past.

The Huiji Palace, located here, is strange, from a distance, but it is very lively.
It is indeed lively, although it is noon, there are a lot of ox carts parked in front of the door, and there are all kinds of guards escorting the people in the car to walk down and enter the palace.
Xie Yan lifted the curtain, looked at the frame next to him, pondered for a moment, and asked the guards outside: "Is that Xi Jingxing's car?" ā
"Exactly." The man outside replied.
Xie Yan nodded in response, and happened to arrive at the destination, the ox cart slowly stopped, and then, he got down from the car, and met Xi Chao, who also got off the car, and immediately smiled, arched his hand and said: "I never thought that Brother Jingxing would also come, but instead of Duke Huan to hear the case?" ā
"Entrusted by the Duke of Huan and the King of Huiji, not to mention that this is the food of the King of Huiji, and I used to be a subordinate of the King of Huiji, so it is not easy to refuse." Xi Chao sighed, and his tone was inevitably embarrassed, "This case is very eye-catching, Yixing Xu's family is not a small family, and it was destroyed by Wang Shuping...... cough, it's too early to say this, whether it's Wang Shuping or not is not sure yet......"
"I just said that there was evidence, but it has not yet been arraigned, and I don't know." Xie Yan waved his hand and walked into the Huiji Palace's Mansion with Xi Chao.
They are here to see Li Linghuai, interrogating Wang Ningzhi is not a trivial matter, involving the Langya Wang family, and the Langya Wang family moves, and it will involve the interests of many other families, and it will affect the whole body, of course, the most important thing is that although Wang Ningzhi was interrogated by the Tingwei Shi and Tingweiping, it was Tingweishi and Tingweiping who were dispatched, but the arrest of Wang Ningzhi and the testimony that he was involved in the case were Li Linghuai, the low-born assassin of Yangzhou, which made people even more sighing...... There are a lot of people who come here, most of them are all kinds of officials and representatives of various families, so it was very lively for a while, and the slaves and maids of the Huiji Wangfu came out to guide the guests to stay, and most of these people would stay here for one night, and then be arraigned tomorrow.
After Xi Chao entered the palace, he didn't go to see Li Linghuai and the others, so he checked into the guest room directly under the guidance of the little maid, and he was in a hurry, but he looked very tired, he should have rushed over overnight, but through Fang Cai's conversation, Xie Yan roughly guessed his opinion...... Wang Ningzhi will be fine.
Although he doesn't know why he is so confident in Wang Ningzhi, Xi Chao is still heard of by Xie Yan, and he should not comment indiscriminately.
Shaking his head, he followed the little guy in front of him, and after a while, he arrived at the atrium living room.
There are a lot of people in the living room, and there are constantly small servants to get seats, Li Linghuai is here to receive him, and when he saw Xie Yan coming in, he hurriedly finished talking to the person who had just spoken, and greeted him: "Yidu, but you came here for An Shigong?" ā
"Exactly, my father is busy with official business and can't rush over, and the Xu family's murder tragedy is a big case, so I can only come over and bring him the results back."
Xie Yan and Li Linghuai talked, but they didn't look down on others because of their background, just because of Wang Ningzhi's matter, after all, there was a bit of an estrangement, and after saying a few words, they took a seat, and looked around, most of them were people they knew, and they couldn't afford to socialize.
Soon he found that the people who came were quite mixed, except for many distant people, such as Sun Tai, Zhang Lu, Gu Qi, Gu Kaizhi, etc., from the surrounding counties of Huiji, were also here, he had talked to his father about this matter before coming, and the relationship between several people was roughly clear, and now seeing these people smiling, it seemed that they were confident that they could convict Wang Ningzhi - Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, and actually saw He Shao, He Jin and his son from the He family in Lujiang.
He didn't know about He's remarriage, so in his memory, the Wang and He families should be in-laws, but why He and Zhang Lu are sitting together now, talking and laughing, really makes him suspicious.
On the surface, he was silent, but secretly he had a heart.
When the people were almost here, Li Linghuai sat on the main seat, and on both sides of him were Tingwei Shi from Jiankang, Tingweiping, with low official character, but heavy positions, and local cases such as the interrogation of Huiji Taishou this time, they could participate in it.
"Everyone, presumably you came to the palace, most of them are for tomorrow's Yixing Xu's extermination case, I am ashamed, I have also had dealings with the children of the Xu family, and I am saddened by their loss, but the deceased is gone, who killed them, and it has not been solved until now, but you don't need to worry, this time we already have sufficient evidence, as long as we wait until tomorrow's arraignment, it can be revealed to the world......" Li Ling said righteously, although his eyes kept glancing, he frequently looked at Sun Tai and Zhang Lu, but it was very secretive, If it's not intentionally targeted, it may not be found.
After his father informed him last night, Xie Yan basically knew what his father's attitude was, different from ordinary in-law families, the relationship between the Wang and Xie families is deep, and they have a good relationship for several generations, and there are few conflicts in the family relationship.
Unlike the Xie family, which has been rising since his father's debut, after Director Wang's death, the Langya Wang family has been going downhill.
Therefore, in the eyes of his father and himself, a powerful person Wang Ningzhi finally appeared in the Langya Wang family, but someone has always wanted to destroy it, which is absolutely impossible, but there are twists and turns, after analyzing for a while, even Xie An and Xie Yan feel that it is very likely that Yixing Xu's is Wang Ningzhi's hands.
That's annoying...... Xie Yan tapped lightly on the table, watching the tea fluctuate one by one.
Li Linghuai finished speaking quickly, and there were speeches from Tingwei Shi and Tingweiping, and then the party began, since someone kept coming to talk to Xie Yan, this kind of time, it is often the time to climb the relationship, Xie Yan dealt with it carefully, unlike his brother, he was still young, and he had not even held an official position, but at this time he represented Xie An, lest he say the wrong thing, and after a while, he found a reason to shirk and walked out of the living room.
I have to sigh that Xi Chao went very right, and he was very smart to avoid these entertainments.
The Huiji Mansion is very large, so today's visitors, if the home is far away, there is no problem at all to stay, Li Linghuai will naturally arrange a residence, although Li Linghuai is also a guest residence, but his sister is the princess of Huiji, this thing is still difficult for him.
Xie Yan refused the guidance of the little girl, and after being told where to go and where not to go, he walked in the palace, although in autumn, the scenery of the palace is still beautiful, in terms of structure, it is much more atmospheric than many families, and the bookish and rouge are not thick.
After walking around casually, he walked back, but before he reached the atrium, he saw that the He father and son were led by the little maid to his side, and the two sides met directly.
"But An Shigong's son Xie Yudu?" He Shao asked with a smile.
Xie Yan stopped, looked at the two people dressed as Confucian scholars, and nodded: "Exactly, Yu Du has seen He Shilang and He Fuji, and the two of them are also here for Shuping?" ā
Originally, seeing that Xie Yan knew the two of them, He Shao was still a little happy, but when he heard his inquiry, his smile gradually faded, and he just said lightly: "It's really for Wang Erlang to come." ā
"If I'm not mistaken, He Shilang's daughter is Shuping's sister-in-law, since there is such a relationship, listening to Shilang's words, it seems that he dislikes Shuping, but what's the matter?" Although I know that it is not good to say it, after saying it, it seems that I am not taboo about my appearance.
"Bo Yuan has passed away...... Although I am very satisfied with Boyuan's son-in-law, the youngest daughter is still young and has no heirs under her knees, and now she has decided to remarry Huan Zhongdao, the second son of Duke Huan. He Shao seemed to specifically state this fact, "The wedding date has been set, and the little girl and Yi Shao have agreed, but this Wang Erlang has evil thoughts and hides the little girl, and he has not seen anyone until now - you say, can I not be angry?" ā
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, according to He Shao's logic, but it was He Shi's reason, but he didn't know how it was, and he hesitated a little and said, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in it." ā
"If there is a misunderstanding, we will find out tomorrow." He Shao said lightly, then arched his hand at Xie Yan and turned to leave.
Xie Yan turned around and looked at the departing figures of the He father and son, and gradually frowned.
This sounds like the Wang and He families seem to have a grudge?
I secretly wrote it down in my heart, and I just waited for my father to go back and discuss it.
In the breeze, he called the servant and prepared to go to the guest room to rest.
ā¦ā¦
Huiji County, Huiji Wangfu, backyard.
Under the care of a group of handmaidens, a little boy in a richly dressed costume staggered in front, allowing the handmaidens behind to keep shouting but not stopping.
The little boy did not look pleasant, his skin was a little dark, but his eyes were very similar to those of King Huiji, and he was obviously the son of King Huiji.
The little boy seemed to be very familiar with the intricate path of the palace, turned left and right, and suddenly opened up in front of him, it was a beautiful courtyard, he finally stopped, and the maid behind him also ran and followed, and said intimate words in the innermost, and took a small handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
The little boy knocked off the handkerchief and asked the maidservant girl in the courtyard, "Sister Yuyao is not there?" ā
"Back to Xiaolang, the princess is out." The handmaid replied.
"Out? Why didn't I see it...... You won't be avoiding me again. The little boy obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't care about the obstacles, so he rushed in, but he looked around, but he didn't find Yuyao, so he could only give up, and said to the maidservant before leaving, "If Sister Yuyao comes back, tell her that I will come to play with her tomorrow." ā
"I know, Xiaolang." The maid watched the little boy leave with a group of people dejectedly, so she breathed a sigh of relief and winked at the maid next to her, and soon, a maid went to the West Pavilion (toilet nickname), and after a while, Yu Yao pinched her nose and walked out of it.
"Really gone?" Yu Yao frowned as he asked, "Take a good look and don't let him come back." ā
The maidservant who was guarding outside said, "It's gone, and there's no sign of it...... Princess, Xiaozhu who went to the guest room just now came back, saying that she had found someone who could take the princess over. ā
"Really found?" Yu Yao's delicate face was happy, revealing a sweet smile, "Take me over...... No, go boil the water, I want to bathe and change my clothes. ā
The slaves and maids hurriedly went to work, while Yu Yao sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with a smile and called the maid who was called Xiaozhu to her side and asked carefully.
āā¦ā¦ There are a lot of people who come, many of whom I don't know, and I can only get known by asking the slaves over there, but I specially listened to the princess's explanation, and those who were smiling didn't pay attention, but I didn't know most of the people who didn't smile, and finally only found one, but if the princess asked, that person should take the princess over. Xiaozhu told everything she had heard.
"What's that man's name?"
"Xie Yan Xie Yudu, the second son of Duke Anshi, when Langjun was born last year, you talked to him, princess."
ā¦ā¦
The guest room is a bit remote, and although the scenery is beautiful, you can still see traces of hasty packing.
Xie Yan didn't care, he came all the way, sat in the car, and socialized for a long time, if the old fritters were fine, but he was still young, and he tried his best, he only felt extremely tired, and he only hoped to lie down and rest earlier.
The little maid took him to stop in front of a guest room, he was a little strange, looked at the beautiful maid outside the guest room and said, "I don't need a maid to serve, you can step down." ā
The maidservant first let the little maid leave, then smiled sweetly, shook her head, and said, "If I retreat, the princess will scold me to death when I go back...... Gongzi Yudu, Princess Yuyao has something to discuss with you, and please come in and talk about it. ā
Saying that, when he opened the door, Xie Yan saw the delicate and lovely princess inside, and hurriedly saluted: "Yudu has seen Princess Yuyao." ā
"Last year, I also had a very good conversation with Gongzi Yudu, so please don't be restrained, Yuyao took the liberty to come this time, I have something to request, please forgive me." Although he said this, with a smile on his face, Yu Yao did not relax in front of the familiar person, but sat upright and asked, "Tomorrow, the case of Yixing Xu's extermination will be interrogated in the county guard's mansion, I heard that this case is related to Wang Shuping, am I not wrong?" ā
"Nope."
"Some people say that Wang Shuping was wronged...... I don't know what Childe has to say? ā
Xie Yan didn't know why Princess Yuyao suddenly asked like this, but after pondering for a moment, he still said, "I also think that Shuping was wronged. ā
"Really?" Yu Yao said excitedly, then reacted and smiled apologetically, "So Gongzi is on Wang Shuping's side?" ā
"Sort of, my cousin Ling Jiang is Shuping's wife, standing on Ling Jiang's side, I also hope that Shuping will be safe."
Yu Yao seemed a little unhappy when she heard the name "Ling Jiang", but it didn't hinder her purpose: "Gongzi Du, I hope you can help me." ā
"What?"
"Tomorrow's arraignment, I ...... I want to go too. Yu Yao said, "I hope you can take me there." (To be continued.) )
