Chapter 232: The Reason Behind the Dead

"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about?" The magpie blushed instantly, "It's not early, the slave maid went to the back kitchen to help." ”

Xie Yuan prepared a lot of gifts for Wen Jing, and all of them were delivered to Wen's mansion at noon, Master Wen and Mrs. Wen were very satisfied when they saw this, and Wen Jing was even more happy. Brother Yuan prepared these instructions for himself, and he had himself in his heart. She doesn't lack these things, but as long as they are given by Brother Yuan, she has to keep them carefully.

"Daughter, you are not young anymore, and now Xie Yuan is back. I'll take some time to go to Xie's Mansion and discuss your marriage with Master Xie. "Master Wen doesn't know what his daughter is thinking. Before, because Xie Yuan was not there, even if he was in a hurry, it was not much better, but now that Xie Yuan is finally back, it is time for her daughter's major affairs to be handled for her. Now that the second child has entered the palace and become a concubine, and the eldest is going to marry the Xie family, their Wen family will only get better and better in the future.

Mrs. Wen was reluctant, took Wen Jing's hand and looked at it, but she didn't want the master to worry, so she hesitated a few times and didn't say anything about refusal. Wen Jing lowered her head shyly, and naturally she didn't see Mrs. Wen's face.

Xie family, Xie Yuan is Xie Wuyi's only son, he came back today, Xie Wuyi pushed all the official business and waited at home, this will hear the housekeeper say that Xie Yuan has entered the house, and hurriedly got up to go out, thought of something, and stopped, just when he hesitated, Xie Yuan walked in, "Dad, the child is back." He stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Wuyi. Xie Wuyi helped him up excitedly and distressedly, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

"Dad, the child's journey south this time is very smooth, but there is a delay on the way, which makes Dad worried." Xie Yuan helped Xie Wuyi to sit down, and he did it himself. Xie Wuyi looked at his sensible son with a face full of relief, "It's okay, you did a good job this time, the prince was very happy when he heard about it, and let me tell you that when you come back, the prince will personally pick you up." ”

"Dad, the child is a little tired after a long journey, so let's talk about it another day." Xie Yuan's face was not very good, Xie Wuyi saw this, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to take him down to rest, "You just have to rest, Dad will take care of other things." ”

For three days in a row, Xie Yuan did not go out of the door of the house, Xie Mansion has dead people carried out every day, on this day, Zheng Nianyuan entered the palace in a hurry, so he wanted to take a shortcut, so he passed through the back door of Xie Mansion, just saw Xie Mansion people carrying a corpse out, the corpse was covered with a white cloth, and he couldn't see the appearance of the deceased clearly, Zheng Nianyuan was curious, so he quietly followed behind them, until he arrived at the mass grave, and he didn't come out until those people left.

The mass grave is a place where the ownerless corpses are piled up, Zheng Nianyuan has heard of it before, but he has never been here, as soon as he walked in, he was stopped by a strong smell of corpses, this will still be winter, if it is summer, the situation here is even more terrifying. Zheng Nianyuan had to rush to the palace as soon as possible, and after getting used to it a little, he came to the corpse, lifted the white cloth, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman appear in front of him. Looking at the woman's complexion, it doesn't look like she died violently, so how did she die?

When Zheng Nianyuan wanted to take a closer look, he accidentally bumped into the corpse behind him, turned his head to look, and found that this corpse was the same as this one, and the white cloth on his body was the same, and then he looked to the side, and there was one more. Zheng Nianyuan thought of something, and his face changed instantly.

If he didn't guess wrong, these corpses should have been carried out by the Xie family, what is the identity of these women, the descendants of the Xie family? Even if the death of the next person is so unclear, it can't be said, Zheng Nianyuan saw that the women with these corpses were not very old, but they died so unclear, and he felt a little uncomfortable, he was supposed to go to the palace when he left the mass grave, but he turned back and went directly to the criminal department.

Zheng Nianyuan reported the case and was worried that the Criminal Department would hinder Xie Wuyi's power and inaction, so he stood directly in the public hall and waited, Lord Huang of the Criminal Department was forced by him to have no choice, so he had to let the Yacha go to investigate as soon as possible, and an hour later, the head catcher came back with a group of people, "Lord Qiyu, the subordinates have investigated clearly, and the three corpses are indeed the descendants of the Xie family, but they are all death deeds." Therefore, the government has no right to trace the cause of their deaths. ”

As the name suggests, the death contract is involuntary, and it is all in the hands of the master. Zheng Nianyuan knew this, but just because they were a death deed, should they die so unclearly? Zheng Nianyuan was not happy, but he had no way to take the Xie family, after entering the palace, he went back to his room directly, Zheng Daxia heard that he was back, and came directly to his room. Zheng Nianyuan was sulking, and when he saw his father coming, he got up and saluted, "Dad." ”

"What's the matter, you won't recognize me as a father when you go home. Or did your mother do something to make you angry? "That lady is an old naughty boy, he can be angry enough by her on weekdays, but now that he is not here, Mrs. has to tease this woman, look at this face, he should still be angry." Okay, your mother is that kind of character, you ......"

"Dad, not my mother." Zheng Nianyuan couldn't figure it out, so he simply told him what happened today. Hearing this, Zheng Daxia walked to the table and sat down, thought for a moment, and slowly raised his head, "Actually, the Xie family did this for a reason. ”

"What is the reason why you can take people's lives in vain like this, Dad, haven't you seen that those women are still so young, just because the Xie family has unspeakable secrets, just because they are rich and powerful, can they be so careless about people's lives?" Zheng Nianyuan is very measured on weekdays, and this is the palace, so he is even more cautious in what he says and does, but now he is obviously angry. Zheng Daxia glared at him, got up and came to the window, "Dad thought you had grown up, but now it seems that Dad thinks too much." ”

"Dad, I'm just fighting for those dead women." Zheng Nianyuan felt that he was right. Zheng Daxia looked at his angry appearance, smiled and shook his head, "You, don't let me finish my words and be so anxious." Xie Yuan fell into an extremely domineering lewd drug three years ago, and every time he had an attack, he must have a neck fight with a woman, otherwise he would ...... Xie Wuji only has such a son, and he has used almost all his forces to find an antidote for him, but so far to no avail. ”

"Is there such a poison in this world?" Zheng Nianyuan naturally knew who Xie Wuyi was, the celebrity in front of King Hong, and the power of the court should not be underestimated, such a thing that people who call for wind and rain can't come, it should be extremely rare to think about it. But it's not the same thing to go on like this, besides, should those dead women deserve to be his antidote?

"Yuan'er, these things are not for you and me to worry about, let's go home when we finish the things here, if you can, don't get involved in these things in the future." Anything that gets involved with the imperial court is not a good thing. He is such a son, and he is still so ambitious, it is really not a good thing to stay here.

Zheng Nianyuan didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, in Xie Yuan's mansion, after Xie Yuan woke up, he smashed all the things in the house and was still angry, and he cut people when he saw them with a sword. After Xie Wuji heard this, he ran over worriedly, "Yuan'er, stop, stop quickly." What's wrong with you, didn't you just have a seizure? ”

"Dad, I've had enough, I've really had enough. When the hell will you find the antidote for me? Xie Yuan's face was full of pain. Seeing this, Xie Wuyi felt extremely uncomfortable, "Yuan'er, don't worry, Daddy has sent a lot of people to find a miracle doctor, and there will be a whereabouts soon." In addition, Daddy bought you another batch of maids, don't worry, as long as Daddy is here, you will be fine. ”

"I've been waiting for three years." Xie Yuan weakly put down the sword in his hand and walked to the corridor and sat down. Xie Wuyi trotted forward, "Yes, you have survived three years, not bad for the last time, Yuan'er, you are your father's only son, how can your father watch you have something." After speaking, he turned his head and glared at the butler. Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly lowered his head.

In the palace, King Hong went to Lan Tingyu's residence after discussing things with the emperor, Lan Tingyu was embroidering, she wanted to embroider a handkerchief for the emperor, and found a lot of colors to choose a satisfactory one, which would be concentrating on embroidery, "Niangniang, King Hong is here." ”

"The prince is here." Lan Tingyu hadn't seen King Hong since he entered the palace. When I lived in Hongwang's mansion before, Hongwang treated her very well, and she also liked Hongwang very much, and she missed him a lot when she didn't see her for a few days, so she heard that he was coming, and stood up with a smile, "You put your things away, I'll go out ......"

"Where is Yu'er going?" King Hong walked in. Seeing this, Lan Tingyu smiled more intensely at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward quickly, and subconsciously wanted to say hello to King Hong, but King Hong hurriedly stopped, "Don't mess around, now that you are the emperor's concubine, where can you still say hello to this king." Okay, this king has something to do later, and he will leave the palace after seeing you. ”

"In such a hurry?" It was not easy to see it, and it was necessary to separate again so soon, Lan Tingyu's face was full of reluctance. Seeing this, King Hong was extremely satisfied. "Don't worry, this king often enters the palace, if you have anything inconvenient to tell this king in person, you can also find someone to tell this king. As long as this king can do it, this king will definitely help you. ”

"I'm fine. The harem is very good, the ladies are very kind, and the emperor is very good to me. You don't have to worry about me. Lan Tingyu was in a hurry just now, and he forgot the relationship between King Hong and the emperor, and when he heard this, he was in a much better mood.

"You, still the same as before, childlike. But now it's different from before, you have to be more careful about everything, don't be sold and help people count money. In addition, serve the emperor well, and don't think about anything else. "King Hong came to see Lan Tingyu today, one is to see how she is doing in the harem, and the other is to see her current attitude. Seeing this, I felt a lot more satisfied.

"The emperor is very good to me, and I will treat the emperor well. Don't worry, prince. Lan Tingyu hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "My father and mother ......"

King Hong glanced at her without changing his face, "What's the matter, homesick?" Thinking of the letter sent by the Lan family today, a touch of fierceness crossed his eyes.

"No, just ask. Thinking that there is a prince here, my father and mother must be doing well. I was overthinking just now. ”
