Master Shen was silent for a long time and looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Just like Miss Xu said, this matter involves King Cheng, and there is no real evidence for Miss Xu to continue to investigate, aren't you afraid that she will be burned?" ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "From Fengxiang to the capital, every case I have investigated is not easy, since I have come here, I have already prepared." ”

Master Shen couldn't help sighing: "I'm already on the verge of death, and I should bring this matter into the coffin, but since I saw Wei E burying the bones of the deceased on King Jane's Zhuangzi...... I will inevitably have another wave in my heart, if I don't figure it out, I'm afraid that I won't have the shame to see my old friend in the future. ”

This sentence is true, and it is precisely because of Huijing's case and the appearance of Wei E that he wants to know what the result of the incident was even more.

Xu Qinghuan didn't speak, Xu Rui stared at Master Shen, almost daring to breathe.

Master Shen took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before saying, "This matter is related to King Wei's rebellion. ”

……

The figure on the roof pulled out half of the long knife from his waist when he heard this.

……

Master Shen naturally didn't know about this, and he continued: "That year, King Wei rebelled, and there was chaos in the palace, many palace people and chamberlains were interrogated, and we were imprisoned for interrogation.

At that time, people were panicked, and the palace people who made mistakes were punished, needless to say, but those who did not make mistakes were also afraid that they would fall into an unwarranted disaster, and the atmosphere was tense and some people had malicious intentions to take the opportunity to announce personal vendettas, and finally some people couldn't stand it and went crazy, taking advantage of the guards to be unprepared, they grabbed knives and hurt people everywhere, and suddenly two people couldn't avoid being stabbed, and one of them was seriously injured.

I have a good relationship with him on weekdays, and I take care of him when I see him like this, but he can't stop bleeding when he is injured, and he can't see people.

At the last moment, he supported me and told me that someone asked him to help inquire about the news, probably because of this he would get into trouble, and the chamberlain might not be "crazy" at all, but deliberately harming him.

He begged me to send the news to a place, and said that the bandits were very big, and told them not to investigate any further, so that more people would not be poisoned. ”

After Master Shen said this, he looked at Xu Qinghuan: "The place where that person asked me to deliver the letter is this courtyard."

After the turmoil of the King Wei case passed, I asked someone to come and inquired and learned that this courtyard was sold to a couple who sold tofu after the King Wei case, and I didn't investigate it further after the clue was broken.

But these days I always dream of him, and I think he is complaining that I didn't do my best.

That's why I came again, knowing that after so many years, I was afraid that the traces would have been erased long ago, even if I knocked on the door to ask, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ask anything, so I turned around and was about to leave, I didn't expect Miss Xu to open the door. ”

"It's really a coincidence," Xu Qinghuan said, "It's like it was arranged a long time ago, I found out about this case and happened to meet Master Shen." ”

Master Shen said: "The waiter I said is called Chen Guan, Taiqing was stabbed to death by the waiter in 22, and I also scraped together fifty taels of silver to send to the Chen family, whether it is true or not, the eldest lady will soon find out." ”

Xu Qinghuan looked at Master Shen: "Master Shen hasn't answered me yet, what is your relationship with Prince Cheng?" ”

Master Shen said: "When I was on an errand in the palace, I just saw Prince Cheng and said hello to Lord Cheng, but I have never been to King Cheng's mansion since I left the palace. ”

Xu Qinghuan continued: "Why didn't Master Shen return to his ancestral hometown, but stay in Beijing? ”

"Miss Xu means that I want to make friends with dignitaries," Master Shen's voice suddenly became cold, "I have been a slave for a lifetime, and I still want to grovel to people at such an old age......"

Speaking of this, Master Shen paused for a moment: "Miss Xu is still the daughter of the Xungui family, I don't know the suffering of our slaves, I will greet you during the New Year in the Jingzhong clan, and if you really return to the clan, that is, you have to rely on the clan to make a living, who will look at you in your eyes."

Being seen as old and incompetent will not be exchanged for pity, but will only be looked down upon, and from the moment you walk out of the house, it is impossible to go back. ”

Master Shen didn't wait for Xu Qinghuan to speak again, and stood up: "I hope that Miss Xu can find out about this case, so that I can solve my thoughts, I have made everything I know clear, so I will leave and go back, he needs my testimony in the future, and I will give an order at any time." ”

After Master Shen finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Seeing that Master Shen was about to walk out of the door, Xu Qinghuan said: "Before the case is clarified, please don't reveal what you said tonight." ”

Master Shen nodded: "Miss Xu, don't worry, unless the yamen comes to ask, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Wait until Master Shen walks out of the yard.

Xu Rui said in a low voice: "Miss, do you think what Master Shen said is the truth?" The chamberlain who was killed said that those thieves had a big background, and they must be referring to the people who killed the Song family's house, so they were all right.

Lord Song found those bandits and told the yamen, who knew that those were not bandits at all, they were serving King Cheng, in order to cover up this secret, King Cheng took advantage of the chaos in Beijing to destroy the Song family's room, which is also the reason why the master wanted to leave the capital.

It is impossible for the Song family to deal with a prince, King Cheng's Mansion is in the capital, and they can only choose to go away in order to avoid King Cheng. ”

Xu Rui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss, you said that Lord Cheng is a relative of the emperor, why does he want to raise those fierce bandits?" ”

Xu Qinghuan didn't expect Xu Rui to be so smart, and he said these words without waiting for her to guide, which would make tonight's "investigation" smoother.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Bandits can gather property and soldiers and horses, even if the court finds out, it is only to lead people to suppress bandits, but if a prince secretly raises soldiers and horses, and prepares property to be discovered, it is the crime of rebellion, maybe as early as fourteen years ago, he wanted to rebel, but for some reason he could not continue."

Now that he's been planning for another fourteen years, maybe he's not what he used to be...... Once it happens, it will cause a big disaster, but we can't report it to the court before we verify it, but fortunately, the Chengwang Mansion is controlled by the court, and if the person behind the scenes is really Chengwang, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

I'm afraid ......"

Xu Qinghuan didn't continue, she sat on the chair and thought for a long time before getting into the carriage and going back to the Anyi Marquis Mansion.

The carriage went smoothly and no one stopped it.

Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief gently.

Tonight was a bit of an adventure, but the good thing was that she had achieved her goal, or that everything was better than she expected.

Before the carriage arrived at the Anyi Marquis' Mansion, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Xu Qinghuan gently lifted the curtain.

"It's Lord Song." Meng Lingyun immediately pleaded.

Xu Qinghuan looked at Song Chengxuan, they had agreed before, Song Chengxuan would stay in the yamen tonight, don't appear around this courtyard, he rushed over so quickly, obviously didn't listen to her.

The carriage stopped at the Anyi Marquis' Mansion, Xu Qinghuan walked out of the carriage, and before the next person had set up the stepping stool, Song Chengxuan had already strode forward, reached out to hold Xu Qinghuan's waist and hugged her out of the car.

All the people in the Marquis of Anyi's mansion lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
