One hundred and one rabbit dead fox sorrow
With Xiao Wusheng's will, Song Wenyu and Luo Teng's handling of the Huainan County case is even more powerful. Within a few days, the case that had already been closed suddenly had many new clues.
This incident shook the government and the opposition. Everyone is a smart person, and they naturally understand that Liu Yi's commitment was clearly a move to lose the car and protect the handsome. They can all see the strangeness, how can the saint not see it, but they don't want to think about it.
The ministers originally thought that this matter was decided and it was difficult to turn over. But he didn't expect Xiao Wusheng to bring up the old matter again, and also designated such two stunned young people to handle this case.
Did Xiao Wusheng have other ideas, or were these two young people too simple to understand what Xiao Wusheng meant?
The current situation is really foggy, and people can't understand it. Suddenly, Song Wenyu and Luo Teng also became the center of the conversation in the entire inner city of the royal capital, and the discussions of others were about to make the two of them hallucinate. When you come across someone whispering on the road, you will subconsciously feel that they are talking about themselves.
On this day, Song Wenyu once again returned home wearing the stars and the moon. As soon as he entered the room, he was very tired and spread out on the group chair, holding his forehead with one hand, and gently rubbing it back and forth.
"What's wrong?" Ah Jin was reading a book by candlelight, and when he looked at him like this, he thought that he had encountered some moth in the process of investigating the case, so he quickly stood up and walked to him, reaching out to rub his temples for him.
Song Wenyu straightened up, closed his eyes and enjoyed his wife's gentle pressing, "I think that if this case is not happy and there is a conclusion, I will become nervous." ”
Ah Jin pursed his lips and smiled, and said along with his words: "Then finish him quickly." You are also one of the parties involved, and you couldn't be clearer about who the mastermind behind the scenes is. ”
"Yes, but this mastermind is not really the mastermind behind the scenes." Song Wenyu opened his eyes and looked back at Ah Jin, "I don't know, where this case should be investigated, it should be released." ”
Ah Jin tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly said, "I think you all have a mistake." ”
"How?" Song Wenyu continued to twist his neck and look at Ah Jin.
"You and Lord Luo both think that the sage re-examined this case to find out the real cause of King Run's death and get the truth. In my opinion, this is not the case. Halfway through his words, Ah Jin did not continue. Song Wenyu waited for a long time, but she was just silent.
So he hurriedly urged: "What else? ”
"If I continue, don't think I'm going against the grain." Ah Jin stopped what he was doing, propped his hands on the back of the chair, lowered his body and approached Song Wenyu and said softly.
"Well, I wouldn't think so. The bystanders are clear, the authorities are fascinated, I need you as a bystander. ”
Ah Jin stood up straight, feeling that Song Wenyu's words were quite acceptable, so he said: "I think what the sage wants to know is who is so bold as to dare to be involved with these people in the rivers and lakes under his nose, and it also endangers the throne." So from this point of view, you can stop it if you find out who you are, and you don't count it. ”
After Ah Jin said this, he continued to massage Song Wenyu's head acupuncture points.
Song Wenyu squinted slightly at the little candlelight on the table, only to feel a chill down his spine, "If that's the case, Luo Teng and I are really ......."
"It's hard to ride a tiger." Song Wenyu didn't say anything, Ah Jin said it for him, "You have no way out, you can only accept your fate and check until your saint is satisfied." ”
"Then what if these things really have nothing to do with the people in the rivers and lakes?"
"Impossible," Ah Jin subconsciously replied, seeing that Song Wenyu was looking at him intently, he suddenly hesitated. It was too complicated, and she didn't know where to start. Ah Jin stopped his movements again, and was silent for a while before he said again: "Have you heard of Feiyun?" ”
"The name is very familiar...... Song Wenyu frowned slightly, and looked at Ah Jin a little strangely: "It seems to ...... The guard beside Concubine Liang is also called this name. When the Pelican Palace caught fire, he disappeared along with Concubine Liang and the Nine Emperor Princes...... What do you do when you suddenly bring up this person? ”
Ah Jin lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, "These things may have something to do with him." ”
"The person who fought with you that night was none other than ......" Song Wenyu was startled and stood up suddenly.
"No," Ah Jin clasped his hands together in front of him, and did not tell Song Wenyu what he really thought, "That person should look younger than Feiyun." ”
"Then why did you suddenly think of Feiyun? Also, how did you know about this person? Song Wenyu put his hands behind his back and frowned. He thought he knew enough about Ah Jin, but he didn't expect her to have so many secrets.
Ah Jin sighed, a little helpless, "Look, I don't want to tell you, I'm afraid that you will ask me so much, and I don't know how to answer you." All in all, follow this line and look it up. ”
"I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that what you say has no beginning or end, which is really confusing." Song Wenyu saw that Ah Jin was depressed, and hurriedly comforted. He knew that Ah Jin had shown him a shortcut, but he panicked for no reason.
Ah Jin raised his head and looked at Song Wenyu, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his chest, "You only need to remember one thing." No matter what, I won't hurt you. If you are suspicious of the clues I have provided, you can not look into them. ”
"If you want to check, where should you start?"
"Yuehua Building. The missing Cai Wei is a person from Yuehua Tower, and he is also a person from Star Pavilion. And Feiyun is the pavilion master of the Star Picking Pavilion. ”
Song Wenyu's pupils shrank, and he looked at Ah Jin uncertainly: "This is all news from the Tongtian Pavilion?" ”
"Well," Ah Jin nodded, "The truth of the news can only be verified by yourself." ”
"Since you already know so much, you should also find out who was doing murder and stealing goods with the Star Picking Pavilion in the first place, right?"
Hearing Song Wenyu ask, Ah Jin was angry and funny, "Who didn't believe what I said just now?" And now it's going to be unearned? ”
Song Wenyu's face was embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "No, I'm ......"
"We didn't find any of that. The style of the Star Picking Pavilion seems to be inherently restrained. Not only that, not to mention the strange and erratic techniques of the killers in their pavilion, they also deliberately learned a lot of kung fu that can be compared with the secret techniques of Tongtian Pavilion, which is really hateful. It's hateful that ten years ago, the father-in-law withdrew the eyeliner of Tongtian Pavilion from the royal capital. Now the people who picked up the Star Pavilion have a deal with the people in the royal capital, and we have to investigate, there are several more obstacles than you, and it is difficult to walk. ”
"After talking for a long time, how do you have a feeling that I want to be used." Song Wenyu said such a sentence knowingly.
Ah Jin glanced at him, not fooled, "You can also not check." Just as I didn't say it. ”
As she spoke, she turned and was about to go to the back room. Song Wenyu stretched out his hand, grabbed her, and hugged her in his arms, "Thank you," he whispered in her ear.
Ah Jin leaned on his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
……
Since Song Wenyu and Luo Teng began to re-investigate the case of Huainan County with great fanfare, Xiao Shuo found an excuse to resign from the position of supervisor in order to avoid suspicion, and continued to be the prince of Xianyun Yehe. On the other hand, Xiao Duo is in a dilemma. After enduring it for a while, Xiao Duo finally couldn't help but go to find the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Qing is asking to see you outside." When the little servant came in to report the news, Meng Yidi was sitting with the prince drinking tea. Hearing the report from the little girl, Meng Yidi was about to stand up to avoid suspicion, but was stopped by Xiao Shuo.
"It's okay for you to stay here, my fifth brother and I don't care about the government," as he said, Xiao Shuo looked at the little guy again and said, "Please come in." ”
"Yes," After the little servant retreated, Meng Yidi sat down slowly, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he made a bowl of tea and soup for the prince smoothly, and gave it to Xiao Shuo with both hands.
Xiao Shuo took it with a smile, and at this moment, Xiao Duo walked in. Seeing that the two of them raised their eyebrows, they looked pelican affectionate, and there was a trace of disdain in their eyes.
"Brother Prince," Xiao Duo walked into the hall, first bowed to Xiao Shuo very respectfully, and then looked at Meng Yidi and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is also here." ”
Meng Yidi lowered his head and did not answer his words. Ever since something like that happened to Xiao Duo in the Meng Mansion, he was afraid to look directly into King Qing's eyes - Xiao Duo was like a lone wolf in the forest, looking at anyone as if he was looking at his prey, which made her feel terrified from the bottom of her heart.
Meng Yidi crossed his hands on his knees, talking back and forth between the two brothers, while listening silently on the side, occasionally whispering to the maid who was on the side to add a tea or a snack or something, but he also looked like a hostess.
Xiao Duo and Xiao Shuo chatted with each other, and suddenly Xiao Duo grinned and said, "Brother Prince, why didn't that little sister-in-law come to accompany you." ”
The little sister-in-law in his mouth refers to Meng Yihan. As soon as his words fell, Meng Yidi's face became a little ugly, and he didn't know what he had in mind. Xiao Shuo glanced back at Meng Yidi, thinking that she was unhappy, and looked at Xiao Duo complainingly: "I didn't announce her today." How? Do you want to see her? ”
Xiao Duo hurriedly shook his hand and laughed, "I didn't mean that. It's just a casual question. ”
"Can't stop your mouth with so many delicious things?" Xiao Shuo squinted his eyes and asked a little gloomily, looking like he was joking, but Xiao Duo and Meng Yidi both noticed that he seemed to be a little angry.
Meng Yidi sighed, stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Shuo's, then stood up and said, "Fifth brother, let's stay here, and the concubine will go down and make arrangements." The crown prince, the concubine stepped back first. ”
With that, she left the living room with Zhu'er. As soon as she left, Xiao Shuo's voice completely cooled, "Say, you deliberately forced your sister-in-law away, what do you want to say to me." ”
"If the sister-in-law is here, how can the fifth brother talk about the government and politics with the prince's brother? Brother Prince, don't blame your younger brother, your younger brother has no idea now, otherwise how would he come to look for you. Xiao Duo looked at Xiao Shuo, his eyes were full of sincerity, and more urgency.
Xiao Shuo looked at him quietly, saying that if he was not moved, it must be a lie. People are not plants and trees, even if it is him, there is no way to quickly cut through the mess with those close to him.
Xiao Shuo glanced his head to the side and said, "Why should the fifth brother be anxious, since the case has been decided." They can't find anything, don't look at their current movements, the damned people are dead, why don't you let those people crawl out of the grave to help them. ”
Xiao Duo lowered his head and listened, and suddenly said gloomily, "Are they really all dead?" He looked up at Xiao Shuo with a strange expression, as if he was possessed by something dirty, "Actually, I have always felt that Xiao Zhan is not dead." ”
As soon as Xiao Duo's words fell, Xiao Shuo jumped up from his position, looked at him angrily, and before speaking, he also specially looked at the situation in the living room, until he confirmed the two of them, and then said word by word: "His body was found by our people at the beginning." How can it be wrong to verify that the person who is right is also our person? ”
"Speaking of which, do you remember what the father's expression was when we transported the unrecognizable corpse back to the royal capital?" Xiao Duo seemed to be laughing, but his expression was more ugly than crying, "Everyone else thinks that my father is expressionless, but what I see is grief." Until now, my father had let the corpse lie in the ice cellar, and no one dared to mention that King Run was dead, let alone buried in the ground. Brother Prince, you say, what does my father want to do? ”
Xiao Shuo sat back in silence, looked ahead, and muttered, "I'm afraid, in my father's heart, Xiao Zhan has never died." ”
"So, I suddenly felt that Xiao Zhan was not dead. In fact, all of this is behind his back. ”
"You're here today to say this?" Xiao Shuo was a little upset by what he said, and his tone was naturally not much better.
"No, my brother just doesn't know what to do next. I also hope that the prince's brother will guide him and help his younger brother. With that, Xiao Duo knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Shuo.
Xiao Shuo held his forehead with one hand in embarrassment, covered his eyes, and didn't look at him, "You get up and speak first." ”
Xiao Duo didn't speak, just stubbornly knelt there. After the two were deadlocked for a while, Xiao Shuo sighed and said, "Fifth brother, how do you want me to help you." Now I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself. ”
This is the first time Xiao Shuo has said such depressing words in front of others. If you are afraid that the corruption in Huainan County will be overturned, who can not be afraid. Xiao Shuo often thinks about it, I'm afraid that he is as calm and calm as his mother, and I'm afraid that he will be disturbed by this incident and keep him awake all night.
It's just that the people trapped in the bureau have a tacit understanding not to talk about these fears. You can think of it as an escape, but in Xiao Shuo's view, it's also a way to protect yourself. When the soldiers are in the city, how can they kill their own prestige first.
Xiao Duo was stunned, he didn't expect such words to come from Xiao Shuo's mouth. Xiao Shuo opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Duo, and said with a wry smile: "You heard me right, I'm saying that I can't protect myself now." ”
Xiao Duo came back to his senses, his hands clenched into fists and fell to the sides of his body, "In this way, my brother can only resign himself to fate......
"It's not just you, I'll have to resign myself to fate......" Xiao Shuo sighed faintly, pushing Xiao Duo completely into the abyss of despair.
Xiao Duo was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, his body was still tall and straight, and he silently saluted the prince goodbye. This time, the prince did not get up to see him off, and let him drag away with heavy steps.
Xiao Shuo watched his back gradually stretched by the sun, Xu really couldn't see Xiao Duo's depressed appearance, he finally didn't see him leave, but closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Duo was gone. Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes and sat in the empty living room, only to feel extremely lonely.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps fell into his ears. He jerked his head up and armed himself again, "Who?" ”
"Prince, it's a concubine," Meng Yihan was not frightened by his cold gaze, and when Xiao Shuo stared at him intently with such eyes, she was still talking and laughing.
"Didn't the mother of the Meng family teach you that the concubine has not been summoned and is not allowed to take a step closer to the master's room?" Xiao Shuo's words are almost ruthless, if it were an ordinary woman, she would have been ashamed and indignant, and she was afraid that she would commit suicide on the spot.
But Meng Yihan lowered his head and smiled: "The Meng family's grandmother has naturally been taught, even if they have never taught it, the concubine has understood this truth since childhood." Because the mother of the concubine is ...... It was born in the concubine room. ”
"So, you're knowingly committing a crime?" Xiao Shuo looked at Meng Yihan, and his voice was even colder, "Second Miss Meng wants to use this deviant way to attract the attention of others, but she is too reckless. It's good luck to get lucky once, but people's luck can't always be so good. ”
"Yes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, that's the truth," Meng Yihan sighed, and looked at the prince again: "Just now, the concubine was really just passing by, and when I saw that there was no one waiting around the master's room, even the attendants beside my sister were not on the side, and I was feeling strange, so I saw King Qing come out." Speaking of which...... King Qing's dejected appearance, the concubine has never seen it. ”
Xiao Shuo squinted at her, and finally stopped sneering, "What do you want to say around the bush?" ”
Meng Yihan smiled slightly, and continued: "The concubine was curious, so she wanted to come and find out, but she didn't expect it...... I even saw what the prince had never seen before. ”
"Hongu?" Xiao Shuo raised his eyebrows, and there was still no good face on his face, but his mood changed slightly, "What does this palace look like." ”
"It's cold in the heights." Xiao Shuo didn't know when Meng Yihan came to his side, and when he came back to his senses, Meng Yihan was already close in front of him. He looked at this woman with some surprise who was destined to be rejected by himself from the beginning, and suddenly shuddered.
He frowned and said: "Nonsense, it was listened to by someone with a heart, but this palace will suffer because of your words." ”
Meng Yihan smiled, and did not flinch because of his stern tone, "When the concubine said this, there was no one around, and naturally there would be no one with a heart." Well, since His Royal Highness doesn't like the concubine to stay here, the concubine will retire first. Or, can the concubine call her sister over to accompany Her Highness? ”
Xiao Shuo looked at her, although he really didn't have any pity for her, but the ease that this woman showed to him really made him wonder, "Are you thinking of this, do you want to be captured?" ”
"Sort of." Meng Yihan smiled, and did not deny it, and after saluting Xiao Shuo, he withdrew the money. He didn't say anything, and he didn't see any hesitation in her steps.
Xiao Shuo watched in surprise as Meng Yihan's figure gradually disappeared in front of his eyes, and then lowered his head and laughed at himself, only to feel that his mind was not even comparable to a woman.
No wonder the queen mother wants to keep this woman by her side.
Xiao Shuo understood the deep meaning behind Zhu Liangxin's move for the first time, and for the first time, he looked at Meng Yihan without any prejudices.
She's really different, but at the same time it's chilling. Although Meng Yihan didn't say anything, Xiao Shuo just understood the meaning of her coming here today.
She wanted to tell him that for Xiao Duo's affairs, he decided that it was the right choice to stand by and watch. When he was most confused and wavering, she silently stood on the same side with him, and took what he did for granted.
Xiao Shuo didn't know how to describe this feeling, he seemed to be excited, but this excitement was different from when he first met Meng Yidi. He was sure that he had no love for this woman at all. Yes, just curious.
However, Meng Yihan doesn't seem to care if he is true to him, her ambitions are greater than her sister's.
Xiao Shuo thought about this, left the action, and strode towards Meng Yidi's residence.
In the room, Meng Yidi was fidgeting because of Xiao Duo's arrival. Since the moment Xiao Duo asked to see her, she has been thinking about the message that Meng Yihan conveyed to her: If you want to protect Song, you must get rid of the five sons.
In fact, it is very simple to achieve this goal, she doesn't need to do anything, just quietly watch the prince make his own choice, and then push him in the appropriate practice.
But this kind of thing that fell into the ground, Meng Yidi really couldn't do it. While she was thinking wildly, the prince suddenly appeared, startling her. Her face turned pale, and she took a few steps back, then she stood firm, lowered her eyebrows, and asked softly, "Prince, has King Qing already left?" ”
"Well, it's gone." Meng Yidi's awe of himself was in stark contrast to Meng Yihan. Xiao Shuo looked at the woman he put on the tip of his heart, and only felt that there was a ball of cotton blocked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, "You clean up these days, since I have nothing to do, let's simply move back to the East Palace to stay with the queen mother for a few days." ”
Meng Yidi was stunned, and the expression on his face was a little complicated. She vaguely knew the reason for the prince's decision, but she was a little uncertain, "Yes, but...... Why did Shuo suddenly think of moving back to the palace? ”
"I was chatting with my fifth brother just now, and suddenly I thought of a sentence, my son wants to raise but doesn't wait, and our two brothers are very sad. That's why I thought about simply going back to the East Palace to live for a few days. Hurry up and clean up, you don't need to show up too many things, just some clothes that you wear on weekdays, and the rest of the things are available in the palace. ”
"Yes, the concubine will go and prepare immediately." Meng Yidi nodded, and then commanded Zhu'er and the other servants to pack the softness. When she turned around, her fingers trembled slightly.
Meng Yidi never dreamed that Xiao Shuo would take the step of giving up Xiao Duo so easily. She couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
