The old woman of "Sixth Aunt" quietly squatted on the ground, looked around, and said very carefully: "Last night, two military men died in the palace and injured several people!" ”

"Ah~ what's going on?"

The old woman leaned in a few inches, put it into the other party's ear and said, "It seems to be some bastards, I think, do you want to enter the mansion to steal things!" ”

"Caught somebody?" The sixth aunt couldn't wait to ask.

"Where did I catch it, I said that those few were on patrol at night, and when I saw someone wandering at the door of the cellar in the inner house, I stepped forward and asked, hey, three times five divided by two, they were put down."

The sixth aunt heard it and said with trepidation: "Don't say this, if it is known by the palace, your son's errand is difficult to protect, these people in the mansion are most afraid of the ugliness of the family, by the way, I saw the son of the Wang family yesterday, didn't you say that he died that day!" ”

The old woman coughed a little embarrassedly and smiled, "Oh, sometimes I say the wrong thing." ”

"Don't talk nonsense in the future, be careful of being caught."

The old woman didn't say much, lowered her head and muttered in her heart: "You idiot, if it weren't for my son in the palace, you would know so much news?" And let me stop talking nonsense, it's really a natural toil. ”

"Bang" The cyan tea bowl was smashed to the ground, Wang Xun stood in front of a group of kneeling sergeants with his hands behind his back and shouted: "What are you all doing, let people enter the mansion without knowing, and kill two people, if this spreads, where is the face of the Wang family!" ”

He is short in stature, he is fifty years old, he is very well maintained, his eyebrows and eyes are full of tiredness, but he is very tired these days, and the court is arguing every day for the Chu King Hengxuan to pacify the chaos of the three Wus, this Chu King nominally wants to pacify the chaos is false, and it is true to sit on the land of the eight counties, and the wolf's ambition is ah.

Although Sima Daozi was deprived of his rights by Sima Yuanxian, this general was indeed extremely arrogant, the court was arbitrary, and regarded the saint as nothing.

One of the sergeants was a soft-armored officer and said in a low voice: "Master, these days there are often people from the rivers and lakes in the mansion who come to the mansion in the evening, they are extremely skilled, it is difficult to pursue, and their subordinates have sent several teams of soldiers, but it is still difficult to capture a person, and the small one is really damned!" ”

After listening to this, Wang Xun secretly wondered in his heart: "The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many songs, why are these heroes from the rivers and lakes breaking into his house?" Although there are a lot of treasures in the house, they are not what these people need, right? By the way, didn't you accidentally get a white jade key from the Cao Wei period a few years ago? It is said that it is the place where the wealth of the Three Kingdoms period was accumulated, as long as you get this key, you can get the wealth accumulated in the world for several years, and there seem to be quite a lot of martial arts cheats and peerless weapons in it, which are left by the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, is it for this?

Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, don't let such things get out, and some white eyebrows raised: "You quickly go and mobilize the elites outside the mansion, send more people these days, you can't have an accident in the mansion, you are about to cause an incident, you know how to recover your life." ”

The official couldn't help but shudder, he knew what would happen if something went wrong, stood up and clenched his fists and led his subordinates away

The Wang family is not peaceful, and the Xie family is not peaceful, and a male corpse was fished up by the small lake in the garden, facing the sky, and the upper forehead bone of the left eye was shattered, obviously being hammered by a heavy object.

This person basically knows everyone in the house, he is the steward of the eighth master Xie Chong's courtyard Xie Shouyi, the eighth master is nearly fifty years old, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, because he has been stuttering since he was a child, he has not come out, at this moment he is standing by the lake with deep eyebrows and listening to the report of the part that found the corpse next to him.

The eighth lady stood behind the master with some trembling, and when everyone was discussing countermeasures, Xie Yu and Xie Lingyun, who got the news, and the sons and nephews of the family arrived one after another.

Xie Yu stepped forward and saluted, "Hello uncle, Baniang is early." ”

Xie Chong nodded and said, "Yu'er is here, quickly send someone to block the news and don't spread it." ”

"Hmm"

After speaking, he said to Xie Ju: "The servants who saw this matter gathered in the courtyard, you send someone to handle the gate of the garden, don't let people in, go quickly." ”

Xie Ju hugged his fist and strode away.

Walking to the wet corpse, Xie Yu squatted down and touched it with his hands, this is his old business, and he is naturally familiar with the road.

"You kid, what are you doing with that bad luck!" A deep voice came from behind him.

Xie Yu looked back, got up and said with a smile: "When did the second brother come back?" ”

This is Xie Chong, Xie An's brother is in the same vein, and Xie Yu is the same generation, ranking second among all the brothers, but he is indeed in his forties, and he is a long history in the court.

Xie Chongsheng's Qijun Wei'an, with an inch-long beard, did not smile, and after seeing his uncle at this time, he stood there and said.

Xie Yu glanced at the corpse and said: "Uncle, second brother, this Xie Shouyi has been dead for at least two days, and it is just a fake to let people throw it here, and the person who committed the crime is ruthless, he should be holding a hardwood and hammering him no less than four times before he died." ”

Xie Chong's eyes showed surprise and said, "Yu Yu'er. How. How do you know? ”

Beckoning everyone to surround him, he squatted down and pointed to the crack on his head and said: "Look, the bone lines here are intricate, there are more than five cracks, the depressions, look, look, look, here, they are all fatally beaten, from the first bone line, this person was killed at that time, but the person who started the attack doubted, so he struck several times, it can be imagined that the perpetrator was ruthless, obviously the housekeeper saw something he should not see, so he killed people."

Xie Zhong approached, looked at it, touched his beard and said, "Hasn't Ling Shi come over yet?" (Ling Shi, the name of the Sui and Tang dynasties)"

"Come on, come on, let the adults let me, the little ones can't come in!" With the words, all the people flashed out of the road, only to see a gray-haired old man holding a burden sewn from deerskin, giving a salute to the adults around him, squatting next to the corpse and looking at Xie Yu with some disbelief: "I don't want the young master to have some knowledge of this autopsy, he is really knowledgeable, come, take a look at the little one." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, hey, good, uh-huh." Gurry took the tool and pulled the flipped scalp several times, and he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he nodded and got up and said, "My lord, the young master is right, this person has been dead for more than two days, and his head was hit by a hardwood hammer and died." ”

Xie Zhong glanced at this cousin, who was nearly thirty years younger than himself, and said quietly: "Okay, let Shi Ke go and get busy with something else, all the subordinates here should be gathered." ”

"Report, Young Master Yu has ordered people to gather people just now!"

"Hey~, was it also arranged by my brother that the moon gate was guarded outside the moon gate?" Xie Zhong said with some surprise this time.

"Yes!"

"The mind is so delicate, good! Uncle, Banniang, let's disperse, come on, bury Steward Xie, take some silver taels to settle his family, come, ninth brother, talk about it in the hall! ”

When Xie Yu saw his second brother walking away, he wanted to say that the murder was going to be buried before the murder was revealed, didn't this let the murderer get away with it? Although at this time, the death of a subordinate in the big clan is like a dead rat no one cares, but these people are all members of the Xie clan in Chenjun, and they are all related to the inner mansion, and some people with foreign surnames have been diligent for many years, and they have been changed to a Xie surname, a thousand thanks, and they are grateful, as if the surname of the ancestor is not important, it is conceivable that everyone in this mansion seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there is a miasma, each doing its own thing, unless a major event happens in the clan, it will unite as one.

The surrounding clansmen dispersed one after another, said hello to Xie Lingyun, and followed the second brother out of the garden and into a house.

Xie Zhong picked up the teacup served by his subordinates, blew the end of the tea and said: "Sit down and talk, ninth brother, our brothers see each other rarely, and we happen to be free today, let's have a good chat." ”

"I know that the ninth brother has doubts in his heart, why is the steward in the uncle's courtyard so hastily restrained, it is really a helpless thing, things in the clan are complicated, you and I can't be tied to these useless subordinates, I often hear the fifth uncle praise you, when I see it today, it is indeed different from the children of the clan, I don't know if you have the heart to be a leader?"

Xie Yu knew that Xie Shouyi's death could only be a stone sinking into the sea, and there were many things that could not be seen in the houses in the house.

"Second brother, if I become a leader now, I have to go through the recommendation of an adult, so that it will become a stepping stone for a certain faction and a link between the big clan, so who does my brother want me to be recommended?"

Xie Chongzi lowered his teeth, he didn't have a toothache, but he didn't expect that this ninth brother was so mature, and all the clans would not recommend the children of the clan, but would unite with other clans, which would have many benefits, and the strong and strong would naturally be stronger, which was the eternal truth.

"Ninth brother, now the talents in the clan are withering, whether it is the Wang family, the Heng family, the Yu family, or the Wang family in the south, they are all objects that need to be encircled, so that you and the Yu family can marry, it is just a trade-off, quite we are now relatives with Sima Daozi's family, but, on the way out, don't let the fifth uncle come forward, you can choose the Wang family to rely on."

Xie Yu knows that in terms of the current power and rights of the Wang Xie family, the Wang family is higher than the Xie family, and it seems that the marriage matter seems to be cheaper than the Yu family, but in fact, the three families are united, in this way, the Wang family will be snubbed, and the road to the office is approaching, if Wang Xun can recommend himself, the relationship will improve a lot, this is the recognized law of balance of rights between the big clans, and the one who has been left out is the Heng family, and it can be seen from the words of the second brother that this famous family has been abandoned by everyone.

"Then according to the second brother's opinion, if Lord Wang recommends the younger brother, will he be unanimous and ready to fight against the Heng family?"

Xie Zhong touched his beard, and he laughed and said: "Teachable, teachable, the ninth brother is quick to think, so that my brother is impressed, Chu Wang Hengxuan has been plotting against him for a long time, and now with the Sima clan, the Wang clan, and our Xie clan's combined forces are capable of the enemy, but they have injured 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 themselves, and they are not very peaceful everywhere, so they can only let the children of the clan enter the court as soon as possible and contribute to the country." ”

It seems that this second brother has a heart-to-heart with him, but he still retains a lot, is he testing him, or is there another purpose, could it be that Xie Shouyi's death has something to do with him? No! It can't be, as the steward, not yet to be on such a stage.

Xie Yusi paused after thinking about it and said: "Then according to the second brother's statement, Sun En in the south is a sharp arrow, and if he wins, he will crusade against Hengxuan, and if he loses, he will hold on to resist civil strife with everyone, right." “

Xie Zhong is more and more satisfied with the conversation with this one-point ninth brother, the insight is extraordinary, although he is not above the court, but he is still clear about the current situation, if he can be outstanding, within a few years, he will definitely be able to shine the Xie family's lineage, thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Yes, it is this reason, just wait for the triumphant return of the uncle, and plan a way out for you, okay, I will talk about it today, if you have time, go to visit Lord Xiawang, maybe you can gain something." ”
