Chapter 399: Who Dominates
In the Great Xiangguo Temple, the host silently retreated from a room in the apse, looked up at the starry sky, and for a long time, he gently recited a Buddha name and slowly walked to his meditation room.
There were two people sitting in the room, an old monk and a man about forty years old, neither of them spoke, but looked at each other quietly.
"The granddaughter of the Qiao family, the granddaughter of the Liu family, is now crowned a princess by the royal family? Why did you run out to take care of the Fang family's affairs now? The old monk lowered his head and thought about it, and said slowly.
"It seems to be because she likes detectives very much, and she is also very smart in this regard." The middle-aged man said softly.
"And what about the boy in their family?"
"Oh, I heard that it is the child of their aunt's wife, and the aunt is gone, and this child seems to be engaged to their girl, and he should have the intention of kissing and kissing. The two have a good relationship, and they said that they would get married when the boy finished the exam. The middle-aged man chuckled.
"It's unwilling to marry your daughter to such a family, right?" The old monk sighed lightly.
"The little girl thinks it's good, everyone in the Qiao family is very easy-going, and their children are also very fun. The princess didn't come back often, and she stabbed twice in a row, and no one dared to let her leave the palace at will. The man tugged at the corners of his mouth and said softly.
This person is Xiao Wang's father, Lord Wang, who has just been reinstated, because he has been pushed by other people too often, and now he has just been added to the Ministry of Rites, and he has been promoted by half a level. Xiao Wang's statement is that the emperor should give face to the little princess, and he can't let her fake grandfather still be idle at home. Everyone thinks so, and he is too lazy to be hypocritical, who can marry his daughter to a widower who is not a few years younger than him.
"The royal family is now investigating this case with such fanfare, do you want to overturn the case for the events of the year? What is the point of proving that the first emperor is not a tyrant at this time. The old monk's fingers lightly tapped the table.
"The emperor's thoughts were originally unpredictable, and the property of the four centers was inexplicably confiscated, and Lord Qin was also copied from the nine clans, and the situation in the court at this time is a bit confusing." Lord Wang hesitated for a moment, but still said softly.
"I heard that Qiao Dayong regards his daughter as his life, and now that his daughter has been taken away, what does he think?" The old monk raised his head and looked at Lord Wang.
"It's true, Qiao Dayong doesn't care much about anything, just don't mention his daughter, touching his daughter is just his life, he can do his best. The little girl said that the relationship between the father and daughter is excellent. Lord Wang shook his head, and when his daughter came home and talked about the princess who was not at home, she was also speechless. It felt like even if the princess didn't come home often, she felt that this cheap daughter was really a little scared to her, and it felt like if her daughter didn't like her, her husband would leave her.
"Do you think it's biological?" The old monk's eyes were like torches.
Lord Wang was stunned for a moment, thinking about it and shaking his head, "Of course, if she hadn't grown up, Qiao Dayong wouldn't have agreed to continue the string." ”
The old man nodded, he hung his head again, and he didn't know what he was thinking, for a long time, he shook his head again, "As if no matter what we do, it's useless." ”
"Old man!" Lord Wang shouted anxiously.
"There's no old man anymore." The old man sighed softly.
"Old man, why do you ...... this little girl" Lord Wang saw that there was no problem with the old man, but the old man assassinated a little girl on the street, causing panic in the capital.
"What can a girl be worth? It's just that the Qiao family manages too much, so it's good to teach them a lesson. It's just that I didn't expect to lose my eyes. The old man shook his head and sighed softly.
"Isn't it because the girl might have solved the case?" Lord Wang hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"So what? Can she really find out the truth? The case of the first emperor, the Ximen family did not dare to touch it, the daughter of a small official's family, because of the royal guilt for the Liu family, so she added the princess's child, and she really took herself too seriously. It's just a gesture in order to whitewash the emperor today. So this is not a fuel-efficient lamp, while removing the people of the first emperor, and on the other hand, overturning the case for the first emperor, making the world think that he is filial. The old man shook his head lightly and let out a long sigh, "Let them go, what kind of result will be, I don't have to admit it." ”
"You don't want to know the truth?" Lord Wang hesitated.
"I am the truth, when I return to the mansion, everyone is dead, I will take people to rush back to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation, but the door is sealed, the fire is everywhere, I can only take people away."
"Then the Kaifeng fire has nothing to do with you?" Lord Wang looked at the old man.
"No, I brought someone to do the Kaifeng fire. The Yueguo Mansion was burned, so I will let the first emperor take the Kaifeng Mansion to accompany the burial! The old man shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Lord Wang, "Xiao Wang, I never let you do anything, right?" ”
"Yes, over the years, if Wang hadn't been cultivated by his husband, he wouldn't be where he is today." Lord Wang said calmly.
"At the beginning, it was just a gesture, and the Yueguo Mansion has more people in the court, and you are considered less, but over the years, it is also a debt for you to take care of." The old man smiled at Lord Wang, which was a compliment.
"But old man, now that the emperor is publicly re-investigating the case of the Yue Guo Mansion, in the eyes of the lower officials, it is also a good thing, whether it is true or not, it is always a direction. The people are not stupid, ten percent, they have to put a little bit of truth, we can also find out a little clue is not. Lord Wang looked at the old man sincerely.
The old man took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's message.
Lord Wang hurriedly got up, took a step back, looked deeply at the old man, and retreated silently.
The old man didn't move, he closed his eyes and recited the Buddha, and he didn't know if he heard what Lord Wang said just now.
"Old man." A dark figure flashed from the darkness, this man was tall and tall, dressed in a night suit, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"Xiao Wang is a good person, you shouldn't have seen it." The old man still closed his eyes and gently swiped the rosary in his hand, but he still said slowly.
"He doesn't know anything, it is estimated that the royal family and the Qiao family know that you are still alive, I heard that Dali Temple will open the coffin tomorrow. The bones that assumed your name at the beginning, I don't know if I can hide from it. The man in black also sat down where Lord Wang had just sat down.
"You say I can't hide it, and on the other hand, you say that I don't know if I can hide from the fake bones?" The old man finally opened his eyes, "Do you think that the court doesn't know that I'm still alive, and the so-called truth they are investigating now is just to know where I am." However, after all these years, what have you found out? None of the people who went to the south knew who was in charge of the murder case, and it has been ten years, and I am afraid that the unjust souls in the ground will crawl out and cry out for injustice. ”
