Chapter 418: Doubts
Mrs. Cen?
"She is the widow of General Chai," Xie Chengze said, "Thirteen years ago, when the world was in turmoil, the army led by General Chai fought against the Xiongnu on the frontier. At that time, Da Chu was under the enemy's back, and almost all the elite iron cavalry were fighting against the rebellious Chen Shan, and it was because when the war was at its tightest, the number of people at the border was seriously insufficient, not to mention taking care of the people in the frontier, and the female dependents of the army. At that time, Mrs. Cen, who was a little proficient in martial arts since childhood, and was also regarded as a door tiger girl, gathered the women and children in the general, and brought a female soldier out. So much so that after the world was peaceful, His Majesty gave her the name of 'Mrs. Cen'. ”
It's really the same as it is on the outside, and it's a real heroine.
Qiao Ran snorted and continued to ask Xie Chengze: "What's the matter with General Chai?" ”
Xie Chengze said: "In the process of fighting with the Huns, he was hit by a poisoned arrow by the Huns, although the doctor who accompanied the army helped clean up the remaining poison in time, but there was no way to clean it up completely. After that, General Chai was not very good, and he had no choice but to return to Chang'an from the frontier to do an idle job. But within a few years, the residual poison attacked, and General Chai still left, so the Chai family is now Mrs. Cen in charge. However, I heard that although General Chai is gone, his son Chai Jun has a bit of his father's demeanor, and the military generals of the DPRK and China have already said that they will bring Chai Jun into the army in a few years, so that his son can inherit his father's business. ”
In just a few sentences, the situation of the Chai family has been described very clearly.
Qiao Ran understood: "Although Mrs. Cen is very remarkable, as the widow of General Chai, the Chai family can now be said to have no intersection with everyone," she said, "Then Chai Jun will be invited to play polo this time because of his skills?" ”
It's not that Qiao Ran looks down on the conduct of these "dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren", but with the current situation of the Chai family, Chai Jun can almost be said to have no intersection with these "dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren". On the one hand, he is a "rich idler" who eats, drinks and has fun, and on the other hand, he is an orphan and a widow who has to work hard to enlist in the army and revive his father's business. Not to mention that the two parties can't play together, I'm afraid they won't even touch a few times.
Unless, Chai Jun himself has the ability to play with them, such as playing polo very well, whoever pulls him in will have a big help.
The girl of the Xie family blushed when she heard this, and she was a little ashamed of Qiao Ran's straightforward words, but in the end she nodded and said, "Yes, just to win us this time, the county lord of Roufu specially pulled him in." ”
"When the county lord of Roufu and the county lord of Xinkang clashed, wasn't this Chai Jun there?" Qiao Ran asked her again.
The girl from the Xie family couldn't help but glance at Xie Chengze on the side when she heard this.
Xie Chengze said: "If Master Qiao asks you, you just say it." ”
The girl said with red eyes: "It shouldn't be there!" Chai Jun was still there in the first half, but in the second half, Chai Jun was gone. I couldn't find Chai Jun, and the lord of Jofu also sent a lot of fire, so I had to let others make up for it......"
Qiao Ran interrupted her words and said strangely: "I see that you play polo with different numbers of men and women, what kind of play is this?" ”
There is almost a natural difference in the strength of men and women, and if one side has more men, then it has to be said that this is inherently unfair.
The girl from the Xie family seemed to be stunned by her question, and after a while, she stuck out her tongue and said, "You...... I don't know how to play polo! The look in his eyes was astonished, as if he was looking at something strange.
Qiao Ran didn't care, smiled and was about to say that it really wouldn't, so he heard Xie Chengze on the side snort coldly: "Xie Rou, you can play polo very proudly, aren't you?" If you don't take your life as your life, instead of giving your life in this kind of place, Ming'er and I will tell my grandfather to send you to the frontier, and then I can come back to seek a reputation for the Xie family. ”
This somewhat threatening sentence can't scare a "pseudo-cardamom" girl like Qiao Ran, but it can scare the girl in front of her, who is really only thirteen or fourteen years old, into crying.
Qiao Ran shook her head and laughed on the side: Although Xie Chengze's words were a bit excessive, they were really brother and sister. Advice has been against the ear since ancient times, and this girl named Xie Rou is scared like this, and it is estimated that she will not come out to play polo for a while.
"Also, what are you involved in the grievances of the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu?" Xie Chengze's face was still a little cold, and his tone seemed to be quite disdainful of these palaces.
Chen Jun Xie's family, who has not changed the dynasty, does have proud capital, and they are not afraid of these clan people who stay in Beijing and wait for the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
After scolding Xie Rou, Xie Chengze turned around and asked Qiao Ran: "Is there anything else you want to ask her?" ”
Qiao Ran shook her head.
Xie Chengze asked Xie Rou to go back.
Seeing Xie Rou walking back to the onlookers while wiping her tears, Xie Chengze asked Qiao Ran: "Miss Qiao, do you think my brother is too strict?" ”
Qiao Ran smiled and said: "With your Xie family's capital, of course these Huai Wang, Fen Wang, Xiu Wang or something should not be mixed up." ”
Today's His Royal Highness can't last a few years, and these people in the clan are fighting for the bottom or that position. Obviously it seems that there is no problem, but in private there are constant small actions, and when the time comes, no matter which one is lucky, what benefits can others end? Go to bet that the new emperor will not be liquidated in the future? It's a fool to bet on this.
Naturally, it is better if the two do not get along.
Therefore, her sentence points to the key point.
"If Xie Rou is as smart as you, why should I worry about it?" Xie Chengze rubbed his eyebrows as he spoke, then turned to look at the panicked crowd at the viewing table over there, and said, "Miss Qiao, what do you think of this case?" ”
What do you think? Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "It's too early to say this, now we have to find out the identity of the dead person." ”
"I've seen Chai Jun," Xie Chengze heard this, and his eyes also fell on the headless corpse, "He's strong and burly, this ...... Most likely it's him. ”
"After the autopsy is completed, please ask Mrs. Cen to come and take a look." Qiao Ran said, "If there is a birthmark on the child's body, she should know best." ”
At present, she stopped Mrs. Cen from coming, because she was afraid that it would affect her and she was too excited and destroyed the corpse.
Dali Temple's methods and processes for handling cases are already very mature, and as long as Zhen Shiyuan is present for such things, no matter how excited Mrs. Cen is, he will not agree to her touching Chai Jun's body indiscriminately before sealing it.
"Speaking of which......" After standing aside for a moment, Qiao Ran looked around the polo field, and then pointed to the small grove that led to the opening in the east and west corners, and said, "Where did this horse come from with the corpse?" ”
Xie Chengze nodded and asked Qiao Ran, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiao Ran pointed to the ground and said, "I hardly see any blood. ”
If this person was sitting on a horse and had his head cut off, he would have been bleeding all the way, and it would not be possible to see no blood at all, as he is now.
"And this horse didn't look frightened at all," Xie Chengze took her words and said, "It shouldn't have been an accident on a horse, but someone was put on a horse after an accident and brought over." ”
