"Wen Dong, is it the younger brother of Lord Wen Qinwen? - Why have I never heard of this? ”

When taking the carriage to the mansion of Wendong, the deputy governor of the Jingshi Rangers, Xie An curiously asked Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who were also sitting in the carriage.

Liang Qiuwu nodded and explained softly, "An, you've only been in Jijing for a year, so it's not surprising that you don't know something...... Wen Qin and Wen Dong are brothers born to the same mother, one of the four towns in Jijing, and the rising stars of the Wen family, but a few years ago, for some reason, Wen Dong fell out with the Wen family, moved out of the ancestral house, and never interacted with the Wen family, and the Wen family was also regarded as having no ...... this clan."

"I see, no wonder my brother is the Guanglu Siqing and the commander of the Northern Army's Janissaries, while the younger brother is only the deputy governor of the Wupin Jingshi......" Xie An nodded suddenly in understanding, and then asked curiously, "Is the relationship between the Wenqin brothers very good?" ”

Liang Qiuwu sighed lightly and explained, "After all, they are compatriots of the same mother, and blood is thicker than water, so although General Wen Dong was expelled from the Wen family, Lord Wen Qinwen is still secretly taking care of him, especially in the past two years, Lord Wen Qinwen has inherited the family business of the Wen family and has become the current head of the Wen family, so his two brothers are closer than before......

"That's ......" Xie An nodded, and suddenly asked in confusion, "Since the relationship between his two brothers is so close, he can rule out the possibility of disagreement due to the inheritance of the family business...... Why did General Moon Dong fall out with his family? ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Hong, who was sitting in the corner, said in a deep voice, "It's just because General Wen has always been good friends with His Royal Highness, and the Wen family ...... Xie Shaoqing also knew that the Wen family had already thrown themselves into the crown prince Li Wei! ”

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "What Mr. Ji means is General Wen Dongwen." Is it someone from His Royal Highness Li Xian's side? ”

"It's not His Highness's side, it's His Highness's best friend, it's one of the few close friends of His Highness who can reveal his henchmen in Jijing!" Correcting Xie An's words, Ji Hong shook his head again and again and said, "Therefore, if you don't believe anything, Your Highness will kill General Wen and his family......

Glancing deeply at Ji Hong, Xie An was silent.

And at this time. The eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed faintly and muttered, "It was the slave family who harmed the crybaby and caused him to encounter such a catastrophe out of thin air......"

Xie An was stunned and said in surprise. "Xiangyu, what does this have to do with you?"

"Can't you think of something so shallow?" Glancing at Xie An reproachfully, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sighed and explained, "Yesterday in my eldest grandson's mansion, the slave family and the crybaby premeditated, trying to use your performance to convince the slave father...... Prince Li Wei misunderstood, he mistakenly thought that the crybaby was planning to eradicate you. After all, everyone knew at that time that you and the crown prince Li Wei had joined forces......"

"Ann, you join forces with the crown prince Li Wei?" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

And no wonder. After all, Liang Qiuwu's impression of the crown prince Li Wei is extremely bad, you must know that at the beginning, because the eldest grandson Xiangyu was idle and bored, he calculated everyone. made the crown prince Li Wei mistakenly think that the fourth prince Li Mao would return to Jijing, and he was in a hurry. The soldiers were dangerous, doing tricks and feet in Liangqiu Dance's wine, and wanted to violate her, if Xie An hadn't accidentally broken through the treacherous plan of Prince Li Wei, she Liangqiu Dance would have been ** Prince Li Wei.

To this day, Liang Qiu Dance is still haunted by this matter.

Perhaps noticing the displeasure in Liang Qiu Wu's heart, the eldest grandson Xiangyu defended Xie An and said, "Sister Wu, don't be in a hurry to get angry, let the slave family say something...... The reason why Brother An joined forces with the crown prince Li Wei was nothing more than because of the slave family, because Brother An didn't want to give up the slave family to Li Xian......" Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something proud, and glanced at Xie An with a smile.

Although Liang Qiuwu said that his brain was not very active, he was not stupid, and after the explanation of the eldest Sun Xiangyu, he suddenly realized, but he still felt a little unhappy about Xie An carrying himself.

[Go home and heal you again!] ]

Xie An obviously saw something in Liang Qiuwu's eyes, smiled, and quickly changed the topic, and said along the topic of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, "Xiangyu means that this matter started because of us?" ”

"Hmm," the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, the crybaby tested Brother An for you, and said that he would try his literary skills with Brother An, and if Brother An lost, he would resign from his official position and never set foot in his career......"

"But didn't I lose?" Xie An asked in surprise.

"Brother An didn't lose, but Prince Li Wei didn't know the specifics, according to the situation at the time, everyone thought that Brother An lost, didn't he? - Even Brother An himself thinks so......"

"You mean......" As if he had figured out something, Xie An's eyes showed a little surprise.

As if he had seen through Xie An's thoughts, the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded, and said, "Not bad!" ——In the eyes of the crown prince Li Wei, Brother An's branch is gone, and he can no longer help him deal with crybabys...... Well, to deal with Li Xian, he thought that the slave family would marry Li Xian...... Just imagine, with Li Xian's prestige, coupled with the power of my eldest grandson's family in Jijing, it is enough to compete with the crown prince Li Wei! - Therefore, the crown prince Li Wei wanted to eradicate Li Xian before Li Xian married the slave family and sat on the big power! ”

"Blame?"

"Blame!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded, and continued, "Most of the thieves who pretended to be Ji Hong yesterday were different soldiers under the crown prince Li Wei, and they knew that Ji Hong's martial arts were strong, so they called another person to lure Ji Hong away, and then pretended to be Ji Hong's appearance and deceived Li Xian......"

"I see...... Looking at Ji Hong's remorseful appearance, Xie An suddenly realized, "And at that time, His Royal Highness Li Xian was losing the gambling contract, and he was depressed, and he was not witty and did not take precautions, so he was taken ......advantage of."

"That's probably the case...... "Eldest Sun Xiangyu sighed faintly.

And at this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and Fei Guoyi, who was driving the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "My lord, two ladies, it's here!" ”

Glancing at everyone in the house, Xie An took off his official robe and stepped out of the carriage, only to see that outside a mansion, hundreds of soldiers of the Northern Army and hundreds of cavalry of the Eastern Army were stalemate, and the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong, and there was a big fight.

Vaguely, Xie An even saw Wen Qin's face full of anger, pointing at Chen Gang and scolding.

"Chen Gang, I respect you as a man on weekdays, and I don't want to provoke a dispute between the Eastern Army and the Northern Army because of this matter, you get out of the way for me! Do you hear that? Get out of the way! ”

"Lord Wen is angry...... Chen Gang hugged his fists and persuaded with anger.

It's a pity. Wen Qin, who was extremely angry at the moment, obviously didn't listen to the persuasion, only to see him raise his right hand, look at Chen Gang and say coldly, "Vice General Chen Gang Chen, this mansion repeats it, you fucking get out of the way for me, otherwise ......"

As soon as the words fell, the five hundred Northern Army guards raised their spears at the same time, and the three hundred soldiers of the Eastern Army also raised their spears. Treat it with all seriousness.

At this critical moment, I heard a loud shout from the side.

"Jingshi is important, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what are you waiting to do? - Drop your weapons! ”

That loud shout was like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests. Shockedly, everyone present was uneasy.

"Who's yelling?" The furious Wen Qin turned his head suddenly, but he was shocked to see that Liang Qiuwu was covered with a pale red aura all over his body, and he strode towards with a treasure knife, but when he saw her tiger eyes sweeping everyone present, the people who were swept by her eyes invariably lowered their heads. Don't dare to look at him.

Even Wen Qin, who was in a rage, had receded a little bit from the anger on his face, and bowed to Liang Qiuwu with a fist, and said without being arrogant or humble. "General Liangqiu, this matter has nothing to do with the Eastern Army, and I hope that General Liangqiu will make it convenient for ......"

Looking at the anger on Wen Qin's face, Liang Qiuwu put away the flame-like aura around him. Persuaded softly, "Lord Wen." General Ben has heard about Brother Ling...... General Ben thought that before the matter was clarified, it would be better for Lord Wen not to be reckless......"

"Not found?" Wen Qin was furious when he heard this, and dragged out a boy who seemed to be only ** years old from behind, and said angrily, "My brother has a family of four, a wife, a concubine, and a child, but what about now? Only my eight-year-old nephew remained! - Hiding in the closet for several hours before escaping! As he spoke, he squatted down, grabbed his nephew's shoulders with both hands, and said with anger, "Qiu Er, tell Uncle and everyone here, who killed Daddy, Mother, and Aunt?" ”

Under the silent gaze of Xie An and Liang Qiuwu, the kid called Wen Qiu grabbed the corner of Wen Qin's clothes in horror and shrank behind him vigorously.

Seeing this, Wen Qin sighed gloomily, stroked his nephew's head, and gently persuaded, "Qiu Er, don't be afraid, tell your uncle what happened...... Uncle will make the murderer pay for his blood debt! Don't be afraid ......"

After being comforted by the uncle, the surprise on Wen Qiu's face slowly retreated, grabbed the corner of the uncle Wen Qin's clothes, and said timidly, "Last night, my father, my mother, and my aunt were playing with me in the house, and I suddenly heard a report from the yard that Uncle Li Xian, the eighth prince, had come to visit ......."

"What else is your name Uncle Li Xian!" Wen Qin scolded angrily.

wen

Qiu shrank his head, seeing this, Xie An took a few steps forward, raised his hand to stop Wen Qin, and then squatted down, and said with a smile, "And then?" ”

Timidly glanced at Wen Qin, who was full of anger, Wen Qiu said timidly, "Then my father asked my aunt to take me to the room to rest, and my father and mother went to meet the eighth prince Li Xian......"

"Hmm, what happened?"

"After I went to bed, my aunt went out, I couldn't sleep, I wanted to scare her, so I hid it......"

"Oh," Xie An asked with a slight smile, "So, are you hiding in the closet?" ”

"Hmm!" Wen Qiu nodded and said in a low voice, "I don't want my aunt to find it, so I hide it well...... At first, I thought I was hiding it well, but ......," he said, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"But what's wrong?" Stroking Wen Qiu's head, Xie An said softly, "Don't worry, speak slowly...... You're a manly man, how can you cry at every turn? - Wipe it off, or the others will laugh at you! ”

Under Wen Qin's surprised gaze, Wen Qiu nodded, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, forcibly endured the grief in his heart, and continued, "I've waited for a long time and my aunt has come to me, I want to go out and scare her...... Later, I heard the screams of my father and mother, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move...... Later, my aunt came and opened the cupboard, and when she saw me hiding inside, my aunt was also startled, and told me to stay inside and not to go out no matter what I heard, and then closed the cupboard...... Later, I heard my aunt's screams again......"

Because Wen Qiu said intermittently, Xie An really struggled to understand, probably Li Xian went to visit Wen Dong, Wen Dong took his wife to meet Li Xian, and asked the concubine to lead his son back to the room to rest, but Wen Qiu, the child, couldn't sleep, and took advantage of the opportunity of his father's concubine to leave the house and hid in the cabinet.

At this time, Li Xian suddenly went against the norm and went on a killing spree, killing Wen Dong and his wife. Wen Dong's concubine probably bumped into this incident, and planned to hide in the cabinet in a panic, but she didn't want to find out that the cabinet hid her son in the main room, so she told Wen Qiu to stay still and not to make a sound, and then ran out of the house, but unfortunately she was bumped into by Li Xian, so she died.

I thought about it. Xie An patted Wen Qiu's head, stood up, looked back at Wen Qin and Liang Qiu Wu and said, "Anyway, I'll go into the house first to check the scene." Lord Wen and your nephew, please come along, but you soldiers of the Northern Army should stay here, okay? - Lord Wen rest assured, if this matter is really done by His Royal Highness Li Xian, whether it is the court or His Majesty. will give Lord Wen justice, and if Lord Wen acts recklessly before the matter is clarified, it will not only violate my Great Zhou criminal law, but also let the real murderer go unpunished...... How is it? ”

Wen Qin looked at Xie An deeply. nodded silently, and was about to enter the mansion with Xie An and the others, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ji Hong in the distance, and his face changed slightly. He reprimanded angrily, "Ji Hong?! - Someone. Take down this thief! ”

Xie An looked back in amazement, and secretly scolded Ji Hong in his heart for not knowing the severity, you know, he had obviously reminded Ji Hong and told Ji Hong not to get off the carriage, but unfortunately, Ji Hong was worried about Li Xian's safety, and it was good that he was arrested by Wen Qin.

Seeing that a group of tigers and wolves from the Northern Army rushed up and pressed Ji Hong to the ground, Xie An frowned slightly, and said hesitantly, "Lord Wen......"

As if he had guessed what Xie Anxin was thinking, Wen Qin's eyes showed a little displeasure, and said, "Xie Shaoqing, this government respects Xie Shaoqing's ability to investigate the case, so I am willing to listen to Xie Shaoqing's persuasion, but if Xie Shaoqing wants to insist on shielding the murderer, this government will not be able to trust Xie Shaoqing......"

Although it was clear that Ji Hong was wronged, and even Li Xian was wronged, seeing that Wen Qin was talking about this, Xie An couldn't say anything, so he could only watch the soldiers of the Northern Army tie up Ji Hong.

It is not difficult to imagine that Ji Hong was escorted to Guanglu Temple this time, and I am afraid that he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.

"Please!" Seeing that Xie An didn't stop himself from asking someone to take down Ji Hong after all, Wen Qin's eyes showed a little gratitude.

Seeing Ji Hong being escorted away, Xie An sighed secretly.

"Please ......"

A group of people walked into General Wendong's mansion to investigate clues, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with Xie An's inference, and the bloodstains at the scene proved that everything was as inferred by Xie An, and in the hall in the front yard, Xie An and everyone found Li Xian, the eighth prince, who was staring blankly at the blood on the wall, and beside him, Luo Chao, one of the four generals of the Eastern Army, was standing with a gun.

Compared with the heroic Eighth Prince Li Xian in Xie An's impression, he is really embarrassed now, covered in blood, which makes it difficult not to associate him with the murder in front of him.

Looking at Li Xian's dull gaze, on the white wall directly opposite the hall, six big characters were written on the dragon's flying phoenix.

[Murderer, Lee Hyun-ye!] ]

"Your Highness?" Walking forward, Xie An cautiously called.

Perhaps hearing Xie An's call, Li Xian turned his head with a look of despair.

Seeing this, Xie An frowned and asked, "Your Highness, do you know where this is?" ”

Li Xian Mu nodded and said incoherently, "Wen ...... This is Wendong's mansion, right? He...... This ......" he said, glancing not far away.

Following his gaze, there were two corpses lying on the ground, a man and a woman, undoubtedly Wen Qin's brother Wen Dong and his wife.

Frowning and glancing at the two corpses, Xie An said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

"Xiao Wang...... I...... I don't remember......" Li Xian covered his forehead in pain.

"Don't remember? Good, good! Wen Qin was furious when he heard this, and scolded angrily, "In this case, this mansion is here to tell you that you killed my brother's family of four!" - Li Xian, although I, Wen Qin, disagree with your political views, devote myself to the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and repeatedly oppose you, but what is my brother's fault? He has always regarded you as a close friend, and I have repeatedly refused to comply, and for this reason, my brother has even turned against the family...... You repay him like this? ”

"No...... Xiao Wang didn't ......" Li Xian looked depressed and shook his head again and again.

"How dare you quibble?!" Wen Qin's eyes widened, and he pulled out the sword at his waist to fight Li Xian.

Xie An was shocked when he saw this, and shouted loudly, "Fei Guo! ”

Fei Guo nodded in understanding, stepped forward in a few steps, unloaded the sword in Wen Qin's hand, and subdued him.

Originally, Fei Guo, as one of the six divine generals installed by the Taiping Army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was superb in martial arts, only weaker than Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er, how could Wen Qin be an opponent? What's more, now Wen Qin has lost his mind in anger, and because of this, he was subdued by Fei Guo in three strokes.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Wen Qin scolded angrily, dragged and kicked, and struggled to get closer to Li Xian, but Fei Guo restrained his arms from behind his back, took a deep breath, and was stunned that Wen Qin couldn't take a step forward.

"Lord Wen is angry, wait for the official to ask His Royal Highness Li Xian first......" The good words persuaded Wen Qin a few words, Xie An looked back at Li Xian, and said, "His Royal Highness Li Xian, do you remember what happened when you came to General Wen's mansion?" ”

"Xiao Wang...... Xiao Wang ......" covered his forehead and thought for a while, Li Xian shook his head and said, "Xiao Wang really can't remember, only ......"

"What do you remember?"

"I only remember that Xiao Wang and Wen Dong drank here......"

"And then?"

Then Xiao Wang got drunk...... No, no, no, it's Mr. Ji who is drunk......"

"......" Xie An was stunned, and then realized that Li Xian was referring to Jin Ling'er who was pretending to be Ji Hong, and asked in a tight voice, "And then?" ”

Li Xian thought for a while and recalled, "At that time, Mr. Ji said that he wanted to go back, and Xiao Wang said goodbye to Wen Dong......"

"And later?"

"Later......" Li Xian's eyes showed a little inexplicable panic, and he muttered, "That's it for later...... When Xiao Wang opened his eyes, Wen Dong and his wife were already dead in front of them......"

"Is the writing on the wall inscribed by His Highness?"

Glancing blankly at the wall, Li Xian shook his head, nodded again, and muttered, "Xiao Wang can't remember...... It seems to have an inscription, but it seems to have no ...... But Xiao Wang will never inscribe such a word! ”

Xie An asked several times, but it was a pity that Li Xian didn't know about it, and his actions were even more suspicious.

In desperation, Xie An had no choice but to ask someone to escort Li Xian to the cell of the Great Prison Temple, after all, Wen Qin next to him almost stared out his eyeballs.

Silently watching Su Xin and the others escort Li Xian away, Xie An glanced at the blood writing on the wall, and asked the eldest grandson Xiangyu beside him in a low voice.

"Is it his handwriting?"

Glancing at the back of Li Xian being escorted away, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sighed slightly.

"Much like ......"

Xie An frowned when he heard this.

What is this?

Conclusive? Stolen goods?
