Chapter 261: Informed
Although he had believed Ah Yu's words for a long time, the moment he saw Xie Huai'an in the study, Fan Zeyu still felt sincerely surprised.
After the news of Xie Huai'an's serious injury came from Yulin Pass, he once wanted to visit in person.
But he doesn't have too many cronies in Mocheng, at least the kind that can be in charge alone, and he used to ask Director Ming for help, but now Director Ming himself is in a prison cell, and he can't count on it at all.
There are also people who can believe in Old Lady Wen and Deng Ao, but no matter which of these two people is, they are not suitable for entrusting them with heavy responsibilities.
Who let the news that Xie Huai'an is still alive can't be publicized for the time being!
However, even if he hadn't been able to see the seriously injured Xie Huai'an with his own eyes, Fan Zeyu had heard about the child's seriously injured appearance from Yulin Guanlai, and knew that he was watching the child who grew up fall into a life and death crisis, and he was full of worries.
"Huai'an looks good, that's good!"
At this moment, Fan Zeyu couldn't think of anything else at all, just looked at Xie Huai'an, and couldn't help but sigh.
Old Lady Wen saw what Xie Huai'an wrote on the desk, and a trace of speculation flashed in his heart, which was fleeting. His gaze wandered on Xie Huai'an and Ah Yu, and finally looked at Xie Huai'an fixedly.
"When did you return to Meaux?"
Xie Huai'an thought that Mrs. Wen was caring about him, so he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and replied obediently: "It's been two or three days since I came back, and I didn't dare to show my trace because I was worried that there were still traitors in the city, but fortunately, Ah Yu was willing to take me in......"
Before he finished his words, he retreated in defeat in Old Lady Wen's angry expression.
Old Lady Wen waved her sleeves, glared at Xie Huai'an, and said, "Nonsense! ”
looked at Ah Yu again: "Is my grandfather so untrustworthy, he touched the door, you didn't tell me, and I didn't know the news until the boy of the Fan family came to the door!" ”
I'm really angry!
Ah Yu subconsciously hid beside Xie Huai'an, and looked at Mrs. Wen flatteringly: "Grandfather, I actually wanted to tell you the first time, that is, when Xie Huai'an came, you were not at home!" ”
"Then why didn't you say it later?"
The little girl touched the tip of her nose and said embarrassedly, "Later, I will go to do something else, and then I forgot to tell my grandfather!" Actually, I thought I was talking about it......"
When many people are in a hurry to do something, but forget to do it for various reasons, they will unconsciously outline in their minds that they have completed the thing, isn't this a normal thing?
What can Mrs. Wen do!
He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to persuade Ah Yu not to be good at asserting in the future, but the little girl said that she didn't mean to, so it was difficult for him to continue to chase after her.
I could only lift it high and put it down gently.
With a sigh, Old Lady Wen had no choice but to write down the matter for the time being, and then talk carefully to Ah Yu when she went back to find a free time.
The most important thing now is Xie Huai'an.
What Xie Huai'an wants to say, Ah Yu already knows.
She thought she could stay in the study, but when she sat down on the chair, she was urged out by Mrs. Wen.
Without giving her a chance to explain, Ah Yu was locked outside the study.
Qingye and Qingrui, who were guarding the door, looked at Ah Yu's puffing appearance, and were a little stunned.
It's really strange enough, she already knows what they want to say, but she still closes her out of the door, what is the difference between this and covering her ears and stealing the bell!
Ah Yu muttered in his heart, but it was impossible to push the door in, so he turned around and went back to the room.
The people in the courtyard were sent away early, and Aoba and Qingrui were still left at the door of the study to guard the door.
The people in the room did talk about what Xie Huai'an had seen and heard outside, just as Ah Yu thought.
When they heard that Xie Huai'an was rescued by the barbarians, Old Lady Wen and Fan Zeyu were wary of the person who pretended to be Xie Huai'an in Yulin Pass.
is still what Fan Zeyu thought before, they can easily identify Xie Huai'an's authenticity, but far away in Yulin Pass, the Fan family, who has not had much contact with Xie Huai'an on weekdays, may not be able to recognize people.
Fortunately, the person pretending to be Xie Huai'an is now seriously injured, not to mention spying on the military situation, he can't even get out of bed, his life is in danger for a while, and one foot has already stepped into the Yama Palace.
Although this kind of schadenfreude is not good, it is really a lucky thing for them.
Handing the copies of several drawings to Fan Zeyu, Xie Huai'an realized that the task had been completed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he was in the mood to say something else to Fan Zeyu.
"It's really a coincidence, I must look very similar to the person who is in Yulin Pass now, otherwise the barbarians wouldn't mistake me for him." As he spoke, Xie Huai'an rubbed his face, and his eyes revealed doubt, "I think my appearance should be quite far from the people of the barbarians, who knew that there were people on the barbarian side who looked similar to me." ”
"Although there are all things in the world, there are no surprises. But when you think about it, it still feels weird! ”
The sigh only lasted for a moment, Xie Huai'an didn't notice that Old Lady Wen and Fan Zeyu's expressions were a little weird, and he naturally turned the topic to the next one.
"When I was in Yulin Pass before, I felt that the timing of the barbarian attack was too coincidental. When they returned to Meaux, they realized that there were really people who were with them. ”
Xie Huai'an looked at Fan Zeyu curiously, he had already heard Ah Yu say that Jin Xinyan was arrested by him and put in the cell, and he was the first to find out that something was wrong with Jin Xinyan.
He paused, and then asked, "The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason will be beheaded by all the people!" King Le suddenly couldn't think of it, and actually did that kind of thing, but the emperor shouldn't be open to him, right? ”
If the things hidden in the secret are not known to outsiders, Xie Huai'an will not be okay if he says such things.
But among the three people present, except for Xie Huai'an himself, the other two people knew Xie Huai'an's life experience, and it was a little bad to hear him say this.
At the beginning, it was Old Lady Wen who sent Xie Huai'an to Fan's house, but at this moment, he just glanced at Fan Zeyu calmly and said, "You explain to him, I have to go to talk to Ah Yu." ”
First, he really needs to talk to Ah Yu, and secondly, he also has the intention of shirking.
Suddenly learned that he was not Xie Jiazi, thinking that Xie Huai'an must have been terrified, it was naturally not good to have outsiders present at this time, so that he could cry out his grievances in front of people close to him.
And even if Fan Zeyu is not Xie Huai'an's uncle, in terms of blood relationship, it is still okay to call him a cousin.
Old Lady Wen went out without hesitation, and only Xie Huai'an and Fan Zeyu were left in the house.
Just when Fan Zeyu was still hesitating how to explain to Xie Huai'an, Xie Huai'an had already sat down at the desk again.
Cleaning the brush he had just used with a calm face, the ink on the tip of the pen gradually blended into the clear water, and he placed the cleaned brush neatly before looking at Fan Zeyu indifferently.
"Uncle is trying to say that I am not actually the Xie family, my biological parents are someone else!"
Fan Zeyu nodded, glad that he didn't have to find any more excuses.
The smile on his face froze on the spot as soon as it took shape, and he looked at Xie Huai'an in surprise, it shouldn't be.
He never mentioned his true life experience in front of Xie Huai'an.
It stands to reason that he should have been ignorant of this matter, not as indifferent as he is now.
If he knew his life experience in advance, then he shouldn't have commented on Jin Xinyan like that just now, but the facts were in front of Fan Zeyu, so he couldn't find any other excuse to deny it.
"When did you find out about this?"
Xie Huai'an looked up at the beam above, and the light in his eyes was slightly dissipated.
"It's five, it's six! It was a bit cold that winter, and I fell in love with the game of hide and seek, often hiding in the corner of the house, and when I saw someone passing by, I would jump out and scare people......"
After many times, the people in the house have become accustomed to him being haunted, although he still pretends to be frightened, but he can tell whether those people are really frightened or pretending to be frightened.
After losing the fun he imagined, he hid more and more carefully, and that day he hid in the cabinet in his father's study, and accidentally fell asleep.
It was the voices of Master Xie and Mrs. Xie when they were talking that woke him up.
They said at the time that there was a child who looked very much like General Pei's deceased wife, so much so that General Pei, who had always been haunted by his wife's death, actually regarded the child as the reincarnation of his wife, and wanted to disregard the consent of the child's family and snatch the person home.
Fortunately, the child's family background was no worse than that of General Pei's family, so he was not really snatched away.
At that time, Xie Huaian was still glad for the child who was almost snatched away, he was unwilling to leave his family to go to a stranger's house, and he thought that the child was the same!
His sympathy didn't last long, and he was frightened by what Mrs. Xie said later.
Mrs. Xie said: "Fortunately, our Huai'an looks neither like King Le, nor like Bully, although it is somewhat similar to the princess in the past, but that princess has been dead for many years, and there are not many people in Beijing who still remember that princess!" ”
"Be careful!" Master Xie said sharply, "Huai'an is our child, he is not similar to others, is there anything wrong!" ”
If Xie Huai'an was more stupid, maybe he wouldn't think too much.
But he's not stupid.
Although Master Xie and Mrs. Xie have always treated him and Xie Huaining equally, there are some things that cannot stand scrutiny.
What's more, no one knows that Xie Huai'an has discovered the clues of his life experience, and when he goes to the side with suspicion, he will always peek out a few words about the situation from his mouth, and after getting together, he can barely piece together a piece of the truth.
"My father and mother are not defensive against me, when I pretended to have heard about the aunt of the Deng family by accident, my mother began to fight for my aunt in front of me, and every time the final ending was to ask me not to learn from King Le, saying that even if he was so good in front of outsiders, I couldn't be like him."
The corners of Xie Huai'an's mouth rose slightly.
It should have been a happy expression, but in Fan Zeyu's opinion, it suddenly coincided with the clay sculpture in the temple, full of human intervention, and there was no sincerity at all.
"So, uncle, you have to tell me, is this matter?"
I have to say that Fan Zeyu never thought that Xie Huai'an had already known about the possibility of his background.
The young man in his image, his temper is not good, and he can't tolerate others to use the method of agitation on him, and there must be something in his heart that will be on his face, even if he has grown older in the past few years, he will no longer put everything on his face, but he is still a child who can't hide the bottom of his heart.
However, in fact, neither he nor the Xie family and his wife who got along with Xie Huai'an day and night also failed to discover what he was hiding in his heart.
Although in retrospect, what he did in the past seems to be full of flaws.
Fan Zeyu paused and said, "Since you already know your background, if you want to meet him, the minister sent by the imperial court has already walked halfway, and you will be able to reach Mocheng in a while."
If you want, I can let you avoid the eyes and ears of others and go to see him in his cell......"
Xie Huai'an shook his head, not at all interested in the retreat in Fan Ze's words.
He said, "Uncle, you know, and you didn't even have much fault in that incident...... Auntie, I didn't go to see him, so how could I see him! ”
"When I met him at the gate of Kyoto, I didn't like him very much. To this day, I don't change my mind, at most I deepen my dislike into disgust. ”
There is nothing to persuade.
Since Xie Huai'an himself had already sternly refused, Fan Zeyu naturally would not say good things for Jin Xinyan.
The news of Xie Huai'an's presence in Mocheng was sent to Yulin Pass by him through a special channel, and the Fan family over there naturally knew that the person they were trying their best to save now was not the person they were thinking about, but the barbarian who made them hate so much.
The thing on the battlefield is nothing more than the east wind overpowering the west wind, but there is no absolute victory.
When the ministers sent by the imperial court arrived in Mocheng, all the news from Yulin Pass was a great victory, and General Fan, who led the troops to fight, even brought the army directly to the royal court of the barbarians.
Even if he didn't catch all the barbarian royal family and accidentally let a few people go, all the fish and shrimp that ran away were small fish and shrimp, which didn't affect the overall situation at all.
Because it wasn't for the reason of the covert visit, the envoy who came all the way from Kyoto this time was still very popular.
Every time I pass through a town, I will stay and rest for a day or two, and there are thousands of guards accompanying me, even if they are put at the border pass, they are also a group of large forces.
Ah Yu also guessed who the minister would be this time.
Perhaps they are the clear streams in the imperial court, because they have always pursued the concept of family and country, and they are the most intolerant of those who collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.
It is also possible that it is a member of the royal family.
After all, Jin Xinyan, who collaborated with the enemy and treasoned this time, his identity is extremely special.
But she never thought that the minister sent by the emperor would be him!
