Chapter 735: Reasons for Travel

A twenty-eight-year-old girl finally died under the malicious calculation of her fiancé.

Losing her innocence and retiring her relatives is enough to make the young girl worse than dead. There was even news that she did not abide by the woman's way, and then she was divorced by her husband's family, which is undoubtedly worse.

Maybe Xie Jixin thinks that the girl's life is always a hidden danger.

The truth of that year has been buried in the long river of history, and the only person who knows all the truth is Xie Jixin.

"Xie Jixin's knowledge is average, his conversation is average, and he really has nothing to look at, but he is indeed relied on by the first emperor, and when the first emperor was alive, most of the government affairs had to pass through Xie Jixin's hands. Xie Jixin was in full swing for a while...... Before leaving Beijing, my father once told me that if he took the Lou clan in order to avenge his little aunt, my grandmother would not be happy in the spirit of heaven. So I've been waiting for ......."

Therefore, the dignified prime minister is at home every day.

Relying on the little shadow of the first emperor and living in waste.

Maybe he was looking forward to exhausting the old feelings of the first emperor, so that he would have the courage to compete with Xie Jixin.

He thought about suppressing Xie Jixin in politics and squeezing him out of the category of favored ministers, and it would be easy to clean him up at that time. However, the first emperor was suspicious of anyone, but for Xie Jixin, that trust was simply deep-rooted. As long as Xie Jixin said something, the first emperor never doubted him.

Lou Baiyun was finally disheartened and decided to hibernate.

This hibernation lasted for several years, and finally ...... In the new Emperor Fengge, he saw hope.

He admitted that he was not responsible enough, but the final situation caused by the death fight between the two prime ministers above must be turmoil in the court, which the Lou family does not want to see.

For the sake of righteousness, he could only sacrifice the small righteousness of the Lou family, and could only let the little aunt wait a few more years under Jiuquan.

Fortunately, Skynet is restored, and Xie Jixin is greedy by nature, but he is timid and afraid. Finally, in the twentieth year of Emperor Geng, he caught the sore spot.

"Xie Jixin and I went to the north and south for disaster relief. The first emperor knew that the two of us were not in harmony, and such an errand had always separated us very far, but even so, I didn't give up and let people stare at Xie Jiwei. However, the person sent to keep an eye on him only sent back a secret letter, and then disappeared, and his life and death are still unknown.

The letter said that there was an abnormality in Tongjiangzhong, and he did not know what was abnormal in Jiangzhong when he wrote the secret letter. So I think, is the 20-year-old case of Emperor Geng related to Tongjiang? ”

“…… I've always been curious, even if the news is blocked. Thousands of people have not been found, and that sounds too sensational. No one in the world is curious? No one to investigate? I just can't understand it. Xiao Ying thought this was simply incredible.

Even if Tongguan is thousands of miles away from the capital, it is a remote town far away from the emperor.

There are thousands of people, and it's not a small number to say it, how can it be that no one talks about it after it disappears quietly.

"Niangniang misunderstood, isn't no one curious? But no one dares to be curious? Tongguan is a small place after all, in fact, most people have never heard of the word Tongguan. "Most people only know that they are near their homes for one acre and three points of land, not to mention that there are not 1,000 but 800 towns in the country.

"Those who know Tongguan and care about this matter are naturally some people with identity. The first emperor gave a gag order, so that they didn't dare to say it openly...... It was spread behind the scenes, and I don't know how the news reached the ears of the first emperor, the first emperor was furious, and picked a few of the most powerful people behind his back, and casually set up a name to kill chickens and monkeys.

After that, no one dared to mention it behind the scenes. Gradually, everyone seems to have really forgotten......

Even when the rumor was at its worst, it was only said that there was a plague in Tongguan, so that no one in a town survived. ”

The plague theory is actually not very tenable, if it is really a plague, how dare Xie Jixin hide it? The plague was not his fault, but it was the Tongjiang River that flooded, drowning hundreds of people, and the summer heat was scorching, and the corpses of some people or animals were not disposed of in time to cure the plague. Even ordinary people know that after a great flood, there will be a plague.

If it was a plague, Xie Jixin should have reported it as soon as possible.

Emperor Ming was played, and then the imperial court sent special people to deal with it. Xie Jixin not only did not pass, but meritorious.

"But what else is there besides the plague?"

Lou Baiyun nodded hesitantly. "Some people say that the people of Tongguan Town have built such a big boat, crossed the Tong River, and defected to neighboring countries."

"The Tong River is turbulent, and it is said that the center of the river is full of whirlpools and reefs, and it is impossible to sail at all. Even decades of old boatmen did not dare to sail on the Tong River, how did thousands of people cross the Tong River overnight? This is less credible than the plague theory. ”

Feng Ge shook his head and vetoed the claim.

Although he has never been to Tongguan, he still knows the title of the first risk in the world.

This danger lies in the Tongjiang River on the edge of Tongguan.

Therefore, a river is separated, and the imperial court has not sent heavy troops to guard it, and the Tong River is a natural moat.

"What Your Majesty said is that the Tong River is so turbulent that you can't cross the boat at all. As for people swimming with their bare hands, it is even more of a dream. But the plague theory doesn't seem to be very credible...... If it was really a plague, Xie Jixin had no reason not to report it...... After the flood, there was a pandemic, and it was almost a convention.

At that time, the first emperor rebuked the word 'Diao Min' on the main hall. It can be seen that the people of Tongguan did something to anger the first emperor. The minister wondered if it would have something to do with the Tong River written in the secret letter. ”

Xiao Ying carefully went through the clues in her heart.

In the end, I found that this kind of old case was too sad. "These are just speculations, and the best outcome is that we can find witnesses from the time...... Again, thousands of people, I don't believe all of them were killed. No matter what happened back then, there should always be someone, even if only one person escaped, but the events of that year may have scared the survivor too much, and it is unknown whether he can successfully answer our questions. In short, we tried our best to find the truth of the year, and if there was really nothing to find out, we would return to Beijing and work Xie Jixin. No matter how hard his bones are, I have a way to get him to speak. ”

Xiao Ying is not bragging, she finds that she is quite good at interrogating prisoners.

No matter how hard the bone is, she can think of a few bites.

Lou Baiyun was silent, and Xiao Ying thought for a while and said, "You want to say, instead of working like this, why don't you directly interrogate Xie Jixin?" ”

Shu Baiyun's silent figure stiffened slightly, and then nodded. "Yes. The minister is guilty, and he should not suspect His Majesty and Niangniang, but what Niangniang said is exactly what the minister thinks. "Why don't you just punish Xie Ji. Under severe torture, I want to see how hard the bones of the surnamed Xie are.

Xiao Ying looked at Feng Ge.

Feng Ge hooked his lips, and then opened his mouth to explain for Xiao Ying.

"Xie Jixin's crime against your little aunt is indeed insignificant compared to the thousands of Tongguan people. You may feel uncomfortable when you hear this, this is human nature.

As the emperor, my focus should naturally be on the whereabouts of thousands of people in Tongguan.

Severe torture may also make Xie Jixin speak. But have you ever thought about it, if this matter is instructed by the first emperor, how will I deal with Xie Jixin? Is it disobedient to the will of the emperor?

As for your little aunt, if he says that he is too timid to go in and stop it. What do you think I should do to resolve this case? ”

Feng Ge's rhetorical question made Lou Baiyun continue to be silent, but the silence at this time was not like the backwater without waves just now, but the beautiful scenery in front of him was suddenly shattered, and there was a kind of panic mixed with it. It's that he is too whimsical, thinking that as long as Xie Jixin is caught, he will definitely be able to ask the truth of the year, and he will definitely make Xie Jixin evil and evil retribution.

After listening to Feng Ge's words, he realized that he was a fan.

On the contrary, Feng Ge and Changning bystanders were clear.

Seeing Lou Baiyun's decadent face, Xiao Ying comforted softly. "So we have to find evidence ourselves, find evidence that Xie Jixin deceived his superiors and subordinates, and concealed something from the first emperor. Only by proving that Xie Jixin turned Tongguan into an empty city for his own selfish desires can Xie Jixin pay the price for what he did. Your little aunt's matter will only come to light one day.

When a person has a greater sin, the lesser sins he commits are insignificant, and only then will he speak the truth. ”

Lou Baiyun was shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Ying to speak, and he didn't expect Xiao Ying to explain so clearly. Xiao Ying's voice fell, and Lou Baiyun had an epiphany in an instant. He's not a stupid person, he's just a fan of the authorities.

Empress Changning was right.

As long as the evidence is put in front of Xie Jixin and he has no argument, he can plead guilty.

And the matter of the little aunt, only after Xie Jixin confessed to the felony and felt that such a small evil was dispensable, he would open his mouth.

"I understand. I misunderstood His Majesty's mother just now, there are a lot of two adults, please forgive me. ”

Feng Ge waved his hand. "Knowing that you are a noble person, Ah Ying and I can be misunderstood by you, and it can be regarded as a bit of ability. Idle people, don't misunderstand, your eldest son Lou doesn't bother to pay attention to it at all. ”

Feng Ge's joking words made Lou Baiyun's face flush and he felt a little embarrassed. He's a big man, and he's embarrassed.

“…… The minister is just, just a little withdrawn. ”

"Alright, ignore him. It's just a joke. When this is the case, it is the right thing for you to assist him and help him govern the country well, so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Rest assured, the minister only recognizes His Majesty as a master in this life."

"There is another ......" Feng Ge chatted idly, looking at Xiao Ying with a smile. Lou Baiyun understood: "I only recognize His Majesty and Niangniang, and only respect the two as the masters." ”

Next, everyone found that Lou Xiang seemed to have changed. It's not appropriate to say that it has changed, after all, people are still the same people, just the feeling of treating people...... There is no sense of estrangement, no sense of distance, as if he was born with Jia Jun and Feng Yi.

The occasional joke did not flash to the side as he used to, but spoke enthusiastically.

As a result, the team is more energetic.

Besides, Xiao Xiucai, after receiving a letter from his mother, he became more and more silent.

In the letter, Wu's mother asked him to go back to Fuyang, and asked him to question Xiao Ying's dishonesty? Xiao Xiucai felt that her mother's idea was too terrible, and Xiao Ying never said anything like liking him or pleasing him from beginning to end. I didn't even mention repaying the favor and marrying.

Why did he question her?

What's more, his current identity is no longer daring to look at her.

They were obviously together, but from beginning to end, he didn't have a chance to say a word to her.

Xiao Xiucai was thoughtful, so he became more and more silent in the past two days. Compared with Lou Baiyun's increasingly cheerful heart, they are simply two extremes.

Miao Xiaogongzi and Xiaoxiucai are of the same age, although Miao Qian, a young man, has jumped out of the way, but he has a carefulness that ordinary people do not have. He was the first to notice Xiao Xiucai's silence.

Asked again and again, Xiao Xiucai was already a stuffy gourd character, and with a lot of worries, his mouth became stricter. Miao Xiaogongzi couldn't, so he had to ask for foreign aid.

The foreign aid is Jia Zhutou.

So one night after camping, Jia Zhutou called Xiao Xiucai to his side, wrapped one arm around him, and led him outside the camp.

"I'll talk to this guy about family life, and you'll ...... for yourself," he confessed.

Everyone watched the two of them go away with a haha. "Wen Jing, we came out of Fuyang all the way, and we can be regarded as good brothers who take care of each other. If you have anything on your mind, tell your brother, and he will help you. ”

"Brother Jia...... It's not that I don't say it, I just can't speak. ”

"I'll just call me big brother, just say what you have, don't twist like a girl." Xiao Xiucai, who said in two sentences, had red eyes at the corners of his eyes.

He trembled and took out the letter from his arms, hesitated, and handed it into Jia Jun's hands. Jia Jun glanced at the remnants of the bonfire. frowned...... It turned out to be a letter from the family.

Family letters are not uncommon, and he often receives letters from his daughter-in-law. But this letter is different.

Wu's mother is a blind person, so naturally she can't write letters, and this letter should be done by someone on her behalf.

Although the wording of the person who worked for him was extremely gentle, Jia Jun still felt a chill down his spine after reading the letter.

"Have you shown this letter to anyone else?" Xiao Xiucai shook his head. Jia Jun flipped through the letterhead, and finally found that the letter was actually sent in the government affairs of Fuyang, that is to say, Feng Ge should know.

As for whether you have read the content?

If Feng Ge swept the three words of Miss Xiao, he would definitely not be able to help but glance at the content of the letter. And the content of the letter is simply ...... It's unsightly. "Your mother is so whimsical that she still wants you to marry a princess? Why didn't she marry the emperor herself......" This is very unkind.

Although Xiao Xiucai didn't want to shame his mother. But Jia Jun was obviously angry, and Xiao Xiucai shrank his shoulders, not daring to refute.

"Wen Jing, have you also moved your mind? Think your mother's words are reasonable? "He has to ask about this, but don't worry about it, go around himself, he doesn't want to take advantage of his future.

"No, absolutely not. I know that I am two pounds, so naturally I will not be delusional. It's just my mother...... She hasn't read a book and doesn't argue, that's why she's whimsical. "It doesn't matter if your mother has read or not, or whether she can read or not, she knows that she doesn't suffer at all.

Quiet, filial piety is a good thing, but blind foolishness and filial piety are stupid.

Now that we can have today, we are also called Lord when we go out of the door, which were brought to us by the girl and His Royal Highness. We have nothing to repay, but to be faithful. If you listen to your mother's nonsense and move your mind, you have no conscience. Your mother's words are something that a three-year-old wouldn't think.

There is no other way to save people, and it must be shameful to spread it.

also 'blackmailed' the queen to repay her kindness. Your mother's idea is simply wonderful...... You can't be swayed by your mother's thoughts and do foolish things. ”
