Chapter 353: Filial piety, father does not live
Wei Gongzi entered first, informed Mrs. Wei of the results of Shen Linfeng's inference, and then respectfully invited the two into the inner room.
The bed tent hangs low, and the curtain asks questions.
Shen Linfeng got straight to the point and asked her about the starling.
In order to help him find out the murderer who poisoned her husband, Mrs. Wei did not hide it, and confessed: "In my master's study, there is indeed a starling who often comes and goes. I cleaned the bookcase for him every day, and every ten days and a half months, I would always see the bird's paw prints on the bookcase, and I once asked curiously, but I was reprimanded twice, saying that I was ignorant and should not be careful. ”
"Is that starling a messenger in and out on weekdays? What kind of letter was sent? Shen Linfeng asked.
"It's supposed to be a letter, but I don't know what it is. Because, every time I read the letter, my lord immediately burned it, and besides, I couldn't read a few words. However, the starling can speak, and sometimes, he will relay it orally. I overheard it once and thought it was fresh. ”
"What are you talking about?"
"It seems to be some kind of pass, the general soldier is coming, it's weird, I was outside the door at the time, and I didn't hear it clearly."
Shen Linfeng and Leng Qinghuan just thought about it for a while, and then they couldn't help but look at the same ground. This is clearly the name of an official position, referring to the general army stationed at which pass.
Could it be that this is the official position of the person behind the scenes?
"What the hell is it, can you still remember?" Shen Linfeng asked seriously.
"I don't remember it clearly, but if someone reminds me, I might be able to remember."
This was difficult for Shen Linfeng, and he immediately named several border passes in Chang'an one by one.
When it came to "Shuiyun Pass", Mrs. Wei interrupted Shen Linfeng's words in a loud voice: "That's it, what Shuiyun Pass, I remember." ”
Without further ado, Shen Linfeng immediately got up and said to Leng Qinghuan: "I want to go to the Ministry of Officials immediately to investigate some information about the general army of Shuiyun Pass, please forgive Linfeng for not being able to personally send my cousin-in-law back." ”
The officials are the world of the Jin family, and Leng Qinghuan naturally didn't want to go with him, so he was embarrassed. Besides, I still have things to do.
On the side, Wei Gongzi immediately answered: "Thank you today for helping my mother clear up her grievances, why don't you let me send someone to send my wife back to the house." ”
Leng Qinghuan did not refuse his kindness, there are too many dangers around him now, and he can't be reckless.
She thought about it for a while, but she was still talkative, and said to Shen Linfeng in a low voice: "Fang Pinzhi's case, I suspect that it has something to do with the second son of the Jin Mansion. The specific situation is inconvenient to tell today, if you see Jin Shangshu during the investigation of the case, you can inquire about Jin Er's whereabouts that day. ”
Shen Linfeng was very surprised, how could a splashy death have anything to do with the Jin family, but this is not the place to talk, and he is not in the mood to pay attention to Fang Pinzhi's case now, so he didn't ask questions. After agreeing, he left first to go to the yamen of the ministry,
Subsequently, the Wei Mansion prepared the carriage, and Wei Gongzi personally sent Leng Qinghuan out. Leng Qinghuan said that the street where Hongbin Building was located, and the coachman left the Wei Mansion with a whip.
The coachman was very talkative, and mentioned his deceased master more than once along the way, with a lot of pride and regret in his words.
Leng Qinghuan learned from him that the Lin family was the wife of Lord Wei, and after Lord Wei developed, he brought her to Beijing, and never took a concubine again.
And what they are most proud of is the background of Lord Wei. He did not make his debut in the imperial examination, but filial piety.
Filial piety is a subject of the examination established during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited to this day, and is the meaning of filial piety to parents and integrity. Those who are filial and honest can also become officials.
Wei's father died early and his mother was paralyzed in bed, he studied hard and copied letters to support his family, serving his mother who was sick in bed for more than ten years. When the deeds were spread, they were recommended as filial piety.
Because he was not worried about his mother, he served the old man until the end of his life, and then he became an official. When the emperor heard about his deeds, he praised him very much, and he was able to rise all the way, and even achieved the position of the right attendant of the ministry.
A scholar from a humble background and not outstanding in writing can stand out in the court so quickly, which makes Leng Qinghuan quite surprised.
When the carriage was about to arrive at Hongbin Building, she got out of the carriage in advance, thanked the coachman, and let him go home.
At this time, the restaurant was not busy, and at the beginning of the guests, it was sparsely sparsely sitting.
The shopkeeper immediately invited her into the elegant room: "Why are you the princess alone?" ”
Leng Qinghuan didn't want to say more, so he said casually: "There was just a life lawsuit, I went to take a look, and I didn't bring anyone with me." ”
"I heard that the princess Niangniang, you showed your skills two days ago, and you actually brought a dead person back to life, and you gasped for a while."
These people are really exaggerated, and they laughed coldly: "People are not dead and breathable, they just return to the light, how can there be such a god?" ”
"In the past two days, many diners have praised you, the princess. As for Fang Pinzhi who was killed, they all gritted their teeth with hatred, it can be seen that he was full of evil and deserved his life. ”
"This case is still unsolved, if there is a more reliable clue, you can tell me."
"This kind of person dies when he dies, there is a way to repay good and evil, and some people who do bad things will not die well. Just like the Lord Wei who just died violently yesterday, this is retribution. ”
Leng Qinghuan raised his face in surprise: "What's wrong with this Lord Wei?" I heard that he is an upright person, filial to his parents, and a good official. ”
"What an official!" The shopkeeper directly burst into foul language in front of Leng Qinghuan: "It looks sanctimonious, but in fact, I have a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, others may not know, but I am a clear door!" ”
"How?"
"Everyone knows that he was born filial and honest, and he can have today, it is because of filial piety, but in fact, his mother has been paralyzed in bed back then, delaying his future, he really can't get through it, so he strangled his mother to death with his own hands."
"What?"
Leng Qinghuan was shocked, and the shopkeeper's words directly subverted her impression of Master Wei.
Shicai was in the mansion of Lord Wei, and saw that the furnishings in the mansion were not as magnificent as those in other mansions, and the family was also very low-key and not extravagant, and he felt that as an official of the ministry, he was honest enough. Who knows, it is such a person with a lust for profit and a wolf's heart.
Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live separately, it is really not an exception.
"Where are you hearsay?"
"This kind of thing is all confidential, how can it be hearsay?" The shopkeeper's reply: "This is all because some guests spent money in the past, so we worked hard to find out." ”
"Guests spend money?" Leng Qinghuan was a little surprised: "Does the Hidden Sword Pavilion still buy and sell news to the outside world?" ”
"Although our pavilion master has silver, but a Tibetan Sword Pavilion, there are so many brothers all over Chang'an, all over Chang'an, they all rely on silver to eat, so naturally they have to make a living with their own money. Therefore, occasionally I will resell the news and be independent.
Like the Flying Eagle Guard, who only inquire about the news and don't make a move, and rely on their sect leader to support the organization, either they have their own way to get money, or their sect leader is richer than our pavilion master. ”
This is full of Chang'an, and the only one who can be richer than the enemy family should be the old man of the emperor, right?
Therefore, this Flying Eagle Guard must still have his own way to get money, but others don't know it.
And the quickest, the easiest, of course, is to resell the information they have found, or directly use it to blackmail these officials who have the handle to make them their own ATMs.
Leng Qinghuan thought of this, and his heart couldn't help but move, that Lord Wei mysteriously communicated with others, it seemed that there was something disgraceful, could it be that he was also coerced by others to serve others?
