Chapter 187: List Mystery
Duan Wufang returned to Duan Mansion and walked straight to Duan Yin's courtyard.
It was rare to see Duan Wuflaw looking for himself as soon as he came back, and Duan Yin was about to start asking, Duan Wuflaw had already spoken: "Dad, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Duan Yin sneered and snorted lightly: "I'm going to ask questions as soon as I come back! I don't know, I still think you're my old man!"
"I'm on business. Duan Wufang looked at his father a little helplessly.
Duan Yin said: "Serious business? Have you figured it out and went to the Yuan family to propose marriage? I heard that Miss Yuan went to Dali Temple to find you today." Other girls are so active, you can't live up to the girl's wishes!"
Duan Flawless: "......"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Duan Yin scolded again: "Did you hear it!"
Duan Wuflaw could only respond: "Okay, okay, I know." ”
Seeing that he had answered, Duan Yin nodded with satisfaction.
Duan Wuflaw said: "I really have something to do with you." ”
Duan Yin looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Duan Wufang glanced at the small servants around him and said, "You guys go down first." ”
The subordinates bowed their heads one after another, and then withdrew from the courtyard.
Duan Wuflaw took out today's list, handed it to Duan Yin, and said, "Look at the mansions in this list, is there any connection?"
Seeing his rigorous appearance, Duan Yin finally regained his positive color, took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
After reading the mansions written on this list, Duan Yin frowned slightly.
"What is this?" Duan Yin asked.
Duan Wuflaw didn't intend to hide it from him, and said: "This is the mansion that was patronized by thieves in the theft of the Chang'an official's mansion that caused a lot of noise some time ago. And they have been stolen more than once or twice, and each of the above lists has been stolen at least three times. ”
Duan Yin was a little surprised: "This thief is so arrogant?"
Duan Wufang laughed secretly in his heart, this thief is so arrogant, you are still used to her!
Duan Yin knew about this theft, but he didn't steal it to his own mansion, and several officials he wanted to be good were not stolen, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and thought that because Duan's mansion was a military general's mansion, thieves didn't dare to steal without permission.
But in this list, there are not only civil ministers, but also military generals, and even imperial doctors, which shows his superb ability.
Duan Wufang asked, "Do you know how the people on these lists are connected, or what do they have in common and what they have been involved in together?"
Hearing Duan Wuflawless ask, Duan Yin's face became solemn.
"Most of these people have the skill of following the dragon. Duan Yin said.
Before the emperor ascended the throne, he had already taken refuge in him, who was still the prince at the time, and the emperor naturally would not treat them badly after he ascended the throne.
Duan Wufang was slightly stunned, and his face changed.
If it is true that as my father said, the people on the list have the skills of following the dragon, then Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao are aimed at the emperor.
What the hell are they trying to do?
No wonder the emperor would let Li Xiaoyun take over this case, if he really found out the people behind it, he was afraid that he could directly take their lives without even interrogating.
Duan Yin asked, "Have you handed over this list to the emperor?"
Duan Wufang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "It was handed in by Lord Zhengqing, and now this case has been taken over by Li Xiaoyun, and now Li Xiaoyun's eyes seem to be locked on the Dingbei Hou Mansion." ”
Duan Yin pondered for a moment before muttering, "Xiao Shaobei has no reason to do this, unless...... Xiao Jifeng's death is related to the emperor. ”
Duan Wufang's eyelids jumped.
Xiao Jifeng's death happened to be related to the emperor!
Could it be that Ji Yanning informed Xiao Shaobei of this matter?
"Dad, do you know what grievances Old Marquis Xiao and the emperor have?" Duan Wuflaw asked.
Although he has a good relationship with Xiao Shaobei, they rarely mention this kind of family matter, and he just knows that the emperor does not treat Dingbei Hou Mansion very much, and over the years, Dingbei Hou's father and son have been in Northern Xinjiang all the year round, and there is not much time to return to Chang'an.
Duan Yin said: "This was more than 20 years ago. At that time, Lou Qianyin, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, had two daughters, one daughter married into the Dingbei Hou Mansion, that is, Xiao Jifeng's mother, and the other daughter married into the Ying family of the Taifu Mansion at that time. Although Lou Qianyin does not participate in court affairs, he has two in-laws who are in power to the government and the opposition, the Ying family is a Wenchen family, and the Xiao family is from a general, and this Wen Yiwu is also very close because of the relationship between the in-laws. ”
Later, Lou Qianyin and Taifu Yingwei'an conspired to rebel and poisoned the first emperor, and were suppressed by the emperor who was still the prince at the time, and slaughtered hundreds of people in the two mansions, and then ascended to the throne. At that time, the Xiao family was in northern Xinjiang, so they didn't know about it, after they returned to Chang'an, they questioned this matter, and felt that Lou Qianyin could not poison the first emperor, so Xiao Jifeng didn't like the new emperor, and the emperor naturally didn't like Xiao Jifeng. ”
In the old matter more than 20 years ago, Duan Wufin had only heard about the poisoning of the first emperor, but he didn't expect to have such a connection with the Xiao family.
Duan Yin sighed lightly: "There were a lot of doubts about the events of the past, and there were all kinds of theories, but it was a case handled by the emperor himself, who would dare to say half a word?"
Duan Wufang frowned: "In other words, Lou Qianyin may have been wronged?"
Duan Yin said: "This matter has passed, what can I do if I am not wronged? It was because of this that the Yuan family declined, since this matter has been handed over to Li Xiaoyun to investigate, you should not interfere again, just remind Shaobei, if it is really what he did, let him be prepared, as long as he returns to the northern Xinjiang, Li Xiaoyun will not be able to find his head." ”
Listening to Duan Yin's words, Duan Wufang heard the Yuan Mansion keenly, and he asked puzzledly, "What does this have to do with the Yuan Mansion?"
Duan Yin said: "Back then, the delicate adoptive father, General Yuan Jing, had a lot of feelings with the Ying family, and the emperor asked Yan Zheng and King Lijun to slaughter the main personnel of the Ying family and the Lou family, and the rest planned to let Yuan Jing be in charge of supervising the beheading, but Yuan Jing refused, and the emperor was furious and wanted to suppress Yuan Jing. However, he has always been the most unorthodox, but he resigned from his position and said that he would never enter Chang'an again in this life. ”
Duan Wufang lowered his eyes and fell silent.
He had heard that Yuan Jiaojiao's master, General Yuan Jing, was a well-known gentleman in Chang'an when he was young, with a good light skill, but his martial arts were very poor, and he was the fastest runner after provoking trouble, but he didn't expect the truth of leaving Chang'an that year was like this.
Does Yuan Jiaojiao know about those things back then?
Did she do this just because Ji Yanning asked her to do it, or because she knew what happened to Yuan Jing back then?
What about Ji Yanning?
All people can say it, but in what capacity does Ji Yanning do these things?
Duan Wufang found that he had only learned the truth of some things, and he began to fall into a dead end again.
He asked, "Does the Liu family of the Soldier's Mansion have anything to do with what happened back then?"
"The Liu family?" Duan Yin was slightly stunned, and then said, "The Liu family was not a big family at that time, and it was not inconspicuous, so it shouldn't have much to do with it." ”
He still had a marriage contract with Liu Xi'er at that time, but later God made people make people, and the marriage contract was annulled.
Duan Wufang nodded.
Sure enough, there is still something wrong with this Ji Yanning.
I don't know how much Rong Che knows about Ji Yanning.
"This matter may not have been done by the Dingbei Hou Mansion, if you are worried about Shaobei, remind him a few words. Duan Yin said to Duan Wufang.
After all, he is the only son of the old marquis, and he can't watch him being driven out by the emperor.
"I see. Duan Wufeng said, "This matter may not be Shaobei's doing. ”
He knew better than anyone who the thief was.
Duan Yin said: "You can do it if you know it in your heart." ”
His son Duan Yin is still clear, he has always had his own ideas.
Duan Wuflaw heard about the events of the year from Duan Yin, and went to Rong Che to talk about it the next day.
The two of them knew that the theft was committed by Yuan Jiaojiao, so they naturally felt that Li Xiaoyun couldn't find out any news from Xiao Shaobei.
It's just that no one thought that Xiao Shaobei would take the initiative to attack next.
Yan Anjin, the young lady of Zhongdebo Mansion, finally married Yu Xianqing.
There was no grand wedding, Zhongdebo Mansion just prepared a dowry for Yan Anjin, so she married directly to the Yu family, and he didn't pay too much attention to such a disobedient daughter.
"I didn't expect my uncle to agree to Miss marrying someone like Yu Xianqing. ”
"That's it, it's just a lifter, and I didn't even get into the Jinshi, so I can survive it in the future. ”
"To be honest, marrying such a family is not as good as an uncle picking one of his subordinates. ”
"But with Miss's temperament, who can stand it!"
In a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere, three men were sitting together drinking and chatting, they were none other than the subordinates of Zhongdebo Mansion, all of whom had followed Yan Zheng for many years.
mentioned Yan Anjin's marriage this time, and the chatterbox of these three men opened.
In fact, Yan Anjin can be regarded as having grown up with them, although her temperament is a little rude and she loves to be unreasonable, but it will not fall to the point where she is now.
It looks like she is married to someone she likes, but as long as she is a discerning person, she can see that it won't be long before Yan Anjin will definitely regret it.
"Bofu has been going on a lot of things lately, and I don't know if it's caused some unclean ...... Stuff. One of the men sighed.
The man next to him: "Do you still believe in these things? Don't ...... Scare yourself ......"
They are talking while drinking, this small restaurant is relatively partial, there are not many customers, scattered in the restaurant.
As they drank it, they felt that the wine was too high, and only after a few drinks did they seem to have begun to faint, and they could not speak.
In a few moments, the three men had fainted.
"Three guest officers, wake up!" the little guy in the store stepped forward to call them, but there was no response.
The shopkeeper next to him said: "I guess I'm too drunk, we still have to do business here!
As he spoke, he asked a few men to lift them up and walk in the direction behind the restaurant.
The other guests didn't notice anything unusual, and most people don't pay attention to such things.
