Chapter 237: Asking to See
After dealing with the affairs of the crescent moon, Mingming returned to Xie's house at dusk.
He walked into Xie Fuyi's study.
Xie Fuyi raised his head and looked at his little guy: "Handled it?" ”
"Taken care of." "The corpse is buried in a mass grave as usual." ”
Xie Fuyi nodded, and naturally blurted out: "Don't let Qi Yan know about this matter, don't freak out ......"
Halfway through the words, without thinking of the relationship between Qi Yan and Crescent Yue'er, Xie Fuyi stopped, waved his hand, and said to the smart: "Just deal with it." ”
Smart and smart, seeing that Gongzi was about to go down without any orders, when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said to Xie Fuyi: "Childe, when I came back from the mass grave, I happened to pass in front of the mansion of the third prince and saw some things that people cared about. ”
"Oh?" Xie Fuyi couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”
Clever way; "There was a carriage coming out of the mansion of the three princes, and the three princes themselves came out to give it away, and they looked respectful to the people in the carriage."
Xie Fuyi said: "The people who make the three princes respectful, there are few ...... in Yujing"
Clever said: "Not only that, after the carriage left, the third prince still watched the same place for a long time." ”
Xie Fu Yi bowed: "I know." ”
Clever finished talking and turned to go out.
Just as the smart front foot left Xie Fu Yi's room, the person in charge of monitoring Gong Liang and the Three Princes' Mansion on the back foot came.
"Got news?" Xie Fuyi asked directly.
The man said: "I asked Lao Liu to help me keep an eye on me and come back to tell you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The emperor went out on patrol today and went to the residence of the third prince." The man said.
Xie Fu Yi paused, then thought of what Congming had just said, and said, "That's no wonder." ”
"No wonder?" The man was puzzled.
Xie Fuyi said: "Cleverly said that when I saw the three princes being respectful and personally sending people out, I also thought, who in Yujing can let the three princes serve so carefully." ”
"It's the emperor." "I'm not telling you more than that. ”
"What else?"
"Gong Liang is dead."
"What?" Xie Fu Yi frowned, "What did you say?" ”
"The emperor left from the front gate with the front foot, and Gong Liang's body with the back foot was transported out from the back door."
"Have you seen the corpse for yourself?" Xie Fuyi asked.
"Yes!" The man replied, "I've seen it myself, it's Gong Liang's corpse." ”
Xie Fuyi's eyes were heavy and he didn't speak for a long time.
The man also looked at Xie Fuyi, but also remained silent and did not speak.
"Your Majesty......" Xie Fu Yi said in a low voice.
The man's expression changed slightly, but he still restrained his expression and reminded Xie Fu Yi in a low voice: "This matter ...... The emperor's appearance, maybe it's just a coincidence? ”
"It can't be such a coincidence." Xie Fuyi said, "I asked you to monitor the affairs of the three princes, except for you and me, only the emperor knows." ”
"Fu Yi......" the man swallowed, "You mean to ...... The emperor ordered someone to kill Gong Liang? ”
"This matter must have something to do with him." Xie Fu Yi said.
Not only did the man swallow his saliva, but he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't seem to know how to speak.
Xie Fuyi said: "Your Majesty, maybe you want to protect someone." ”
The man pressed his eyebrows and sighed softly: "Fu Yi, I think this matter is ......" He paused and continued, "Instead of testing or guessing, you should ask the emperor directly." ”
Xie Fuyi stiffened his face and didn't speak.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Then there was a knock on the door.
The two glanced at each other, and Xie Fuyi motioned for the man to hide first.
He arrived; "Come in."
I saw that Master Xie pushed the door and came in.
Xie Fuyi stood up: "Father, why are you here?" ”
"Come and see you." Master Xie said and walked in front of Xie Fuyi.
He was visibly thin, with dark circles under his eyes, and it looked like he hadn't rested at all.
Xie Fuyi asked, "Dad, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"It's fine." Master Xie shook his head and said, "I just came to see you." ”
The master and son looked at each other, and just a few days ago, the two of them, one lost his mother and the other lost his wife.
Although Mrs. Xie is usually a little mean, she has always cared for her son and husband without reservation.
Xie Fu Yi looked at the haggard Master Xie and sighed softly: "Dad, you have to take care of your body." ”
"I know." Master Xie couldn't help but sigh, "You also take care of yourself." ”
"The child knows......" Xie Fu Yi agreed.
Master Xie paused slightly, and suddenly said, "Recently, someone asked me about Qi Yan......
Speaking of this, Master Xie paused: "I knew you wanted to protect her, so I placed her." But Fu Yi ...... Only wait until this matter passes, or let Qi Yan kowtow to your mother, it is the rule. ”
Xie Fu Yi nodded heavily: "Dad, don't worry, when this matter is over, I will take Qi Yan to apologize to my mother's grave." Old Man Xie smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your mother really doesn't really want to see Qi Yan......"
Xie Fuyi: "......"
Master Xie said again: "However, she is the person you recognize, and your mother is in the spirit of the sky, and according to you, she will also accept Qi Yan." ”
Xie Fuyi smiled bitterly.
"Alright." Master Xie stood up, "I'm done with what I'm going to say, you should be busy, just busy with you." ”
Xie Fuyi hurriedly sent Master Xie to the door: "Dad, you go slowly." ”
"I can't go fast." Master Xie waved his hand.
Xie Fuyi only noticed at this time that his father was already old at some point...... The footsteps are already staggering.
After seeing Master Xie leave, Xie Fu Yi returned to the study.
"Fu Yi......" The man walked out just now.
Xie Fu Yi said; "You're right, instead of me guessing, let's ask the emperor first."
After that, Xie Fuyi looked at the man: "The third prince, you continue to star." What's the news, tell me quickly. ”
"Yes."
…………
…………
Xie Fuyi said to see the emperor.
The Ninety-Five, how can you see it if you want to? Even if Xie Fuyi is an imperial businessman, even if the Xie family's business is all over the country, it is not easy to see the emperor.
However, Xie Fuyi said that he wanted to meet, so he naturally had his way.
This solution is to find Old Lady Xie.
…………
…………
Speaking of Mrs. Xie, it is simply a legend.
Old lady Xie's background is not bright, he is the illegitimate son of the Xie family.
's mother was a singer of the Qinglou, who was taken by the Xie family at that time, raised in a foreign house, and was only taken to the Xie family after having a child.
The Xie family was also a slightly wealthy merchant family at that time, and it was definitely not considered rich.
At that time, the housewife of the Xie family was a notoriously resentful woman! I can't give birth to myself, and when I see an illegitimate child who was taken home, I have the heart of the other party alive.
Mrs. Xie has lived a good life in Xie Mansion for two years, and the two housemothers of the Xie family are happy, and they also gave birth to three sons in one go, so Mrs. Xie's status plummeted.
When he was a teenager, the head of the Xie family at that time suddenly died, so the Xie family's housemother immediately drove Master Xie out of the Xie family.
The old lady Xie who was kicked out of the Xie family worked as a beggar on the street and was also bought and sold by human traffickers...... In short, after experiencing all kinds of ups and downs in life, he returned to Yujing.
Mrs. Xie was doing business in Yujing, he was almost self-made, but he miraculously made the business in his hand bigger little by little, and later, the clansmen of the Xie family came to recognize their relatives......
The Xie family is in the hands of Master Xie, and it is prosperous!
When the Xie family became an imperial businessman and played a pivotal role in the business world, Master Xie was already over the age of confusion.
Even if the year is not confused, the matchmaker at that time was eager to step on the door of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie refused one by one, he finally married a peasant woman, so that the people of Yujing at that time talked about it for a long time, I don't know where the peasant woman is, what method can be used to win Master Xie.
The peasant girl was Mrs. Xie's mother, and she died after giving birth to Mrs. Xie......
Master Xie had a daughter in his later years, although he didn't say it, but he also loved it, so he developed Mrs. Xie's arrogant and arrogant temperament.
But no matter what her daughter is, she is the daughter of Master Xie and the mother of Xie Fuyi.
Old Lady Xie started his retreat fifteen years ago...... As for why the retreat is and what the retreat does, even Mrs. Xie doesn't know.
When Taiye Xie was just in retreat, some people said that he was in retreat to cultivate the Tao and refine pills and seek immortality, and some people said that he was in retreat because he had studied Buddhism......
In short, there is everything to say.
Only Xie Fu Yi knew why Old Lady Xie was in retreat, he was hiding from people.
Now, Mrs. Xie was poisoned, and Mrs. Xie came out to see her daughter for the last time.
…………
…………
Xie Fu Yi walked into Old Lady Xie's residence, paused, and then knocked on the courtyard door.
The "Squeak...... door opened.
The one who opened the door was the old servant beside Master Xie, and when he saw Xie Fu Yi saluting slightly, this servant was a mute and couldn't speak.
Xie Fuyi said: "Uncle Liu, my grandfather ......"
Dumb Uncle Liu, signaled to Xie Fu Yi, the old lady was in the house.
Xie Fuyi walked to the door and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in." At this time, Master Xie's voice came, with a heavy hoarseness.
Probably the reason for not talking a lot.
Xie Fuyi walked into the house and saw that the old lady Xie was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
Xie Fu Yi saluted the old lady and shouted grandpa.
Old lady Xie put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked up at him.
Xie Fuyi also looked at him.
He was already an old man in his prime, with gray hair and a thin body, but his spirit was not old, but with a transcendent wisdom. The grief of losing his daughter made him look a little haggard, but he covered it with weathered wrinkles.
"Sit down." Master Xie said.
Xie Fuyi sat down.
Old lady Xie said: "Your mother's funeral ......"
"It's all done." Xie Fuyi replied.
"That's good, that's good......" Old Lady Xie said, pausing slightly, as if caught in some kind of memory.
That recall, there is Mrs. Xie.
"Grandpa." Xie Fu Yi spoke, "I want to ask you for one thing. ”
Old lady Xie looked at him: "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to see the emperor." Xie Fuyi paused and said, "It's best to see you today." ”
Old Lady Xie looked at Xie Fuyi, looked at it for a long time, sighed, and said, "I understand." ”
…………
…………
Xie Fuyi said that if he went to see the emperor today, if others heard it, they would think that he was a fool and a dream.
But, in fact, he saw it, and at this time, the emperor was sitting behind the imperial case opposite him, and he still had the unfinished folds at hand.
In the imperial study, Xie Fu Yi finished his salute and stood up.
"Fu Yi, sit down." The emperor is already old, his hair is gray, and his skin is loose, but his eyes are undiminished, so he looks at Xie Fuyi with a smile, others don't know, and they think that he is the eyes of the elders caring for the younger generations.
Xie Fuyi was given a seat by the emperor, but he did not seem flattered.
The emperor said, "When did you take the initiative to come to see me?" ”
Xie Fuyi didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "It's for Gong Liang." ”
"Who?" The emperor paused, not knowing what he was saying.
Xie Fu Yi said: "It's a guard next to His Royal Highness, named Gong Liang, who is the murderer of his mother." ”
When the emperor heard this, he seemed to have an impression: "What are you talking about, is it the guard who betrays the lord to seek glory?" ”
"Selling for glory?" Xie Fuyi looked at the emperor.
The emperor said: "Yes, he was used by someone to frame the third child, so that I know." ”
"So, you told the third prince?"
The emperor said: "There is such an unfaithful thing around the third child, I will give him a reminder." ”
"After you reminded him, Gong Liang was killed." Xie Fu Yi said.
"Fu Yi, are you weird?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes.
Xie Fuyi got up and replied, "Don't dare." ”
That's what he said, but there was no fear in his eyes.
The emperor looked at Xie Fu Yi in front of him, no one dared to offend the Ninety-Five, Xie Fu Yi dared to touch the dragon beard, if it was someone else, the Son of Heaven waved his hand, and the noon gate was not more than one more head.
But......
The emperor sighed softly: Xie Fu Yi is not an outsider.
"Is your grandfather okay?" The Emperor asked suddenly.
Xie Fuyi replied: "Originally, his old man was in retreat, but since his mother died, ......."
Xie Fuyi didn't say the latter words, but the emperor could understand it.
"Have pity on him, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man." The emperor said, and let out a long sigh again, "Fu Yi, you don't know, when I reach the age of my grandfather and your grandfather, the most unsightly thing is this." ”
Xie Fuyi was noncommittal.
Xindao, there are a lot of black-haired people you have sent.
"Your Majesty." Xie Fuyi arched his hand and said, "You said that you know that Gong Liang is a traitor to seek glory, presumably, you also know who Gong Liang is working for......"
The emperor bowed his head: "I know a little bit about it." ”
He didn't say that he knew, nor did he say what he knew, but only replied with such a sentence, which was very intriguing.
When Xie Fuyi heard this, he already understood what Old Lady Xie meant before.
"Then can you please tell the emperor one or two?" Xie Fuyi arched his hand and asked.
The emperor said, "Of course. But ......"
However, it was not told to you in vain.
