Chapter 537: Benefactor King Jane
Old Lady Song's face sank, and her eyes stared at Xu Rui, listening to him continue.
Xu Rui pursed his lips: "Before the accident that day, the eldest master came to us and said, I'm afraid that an enemy will come to the door, this is the path he chose, it has nothing to do with us, let us leave quietly and never come back."
We are willing to agree there, we people have seen a lot of ups and downs with the eldest master, and at the critical moment, how can there be a deviation from the truth, everyone has thought about coexisting and dying with the eldest master's family...... Knowing that those people won't let go of the big man, we don't want to live.
There were a lot of things that I didn't think about at that time, and I will think about them later...... I felt that the old man's performance that day was very strange, and the big man never made the ins and outs of the future very clear. ”
Mrs. Song's eyes were still clear, and she was not blindly sad because Xu Rui mentioned the past, so that she kept herself sober in order to judge the truth in front of her, she thought for a moment and said lightly: "We all know what you said, when the boss was doing business abroad, he found a group of bandits and told them to the court, those bandits are uncertain on weekdays, in case they are scared and let them scatter and escape, I am afraid that they will leave a legacy in the future, and the boss promised the court to be bait to lure those bandits out."
At that time, the government thought that things were going well, and all the thieves were caught, but in fact, I don't know how many people escaped, and the people who escaped hated the boss and had been secretly monitoring the boss's family, and took advantage of the chaos in the capital to find the boss's family to take revenge.
The eldest family was killed by bandits. ”
Xu Qinghuan knew that the old lady Song said this to test how much Xu Rui knew, and she didn't know how the Song family took the risk to save the prince of Wei.
If Xu Rui knew, Bacheng would take the opportunity to mention it.
Xu Rui said: "This is the result given by the government after checking, but I don't think that's entirely the case." ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xu Rui and frowned, with a look of doubt in his eyes that was not concealed, what should be said was not a lie.
In this way, it seems likely that Xu Rui did not know that Master Song had saved the prince of Wei.
At that time, Master Song did not mobilize the people around him to help, the less people knew about Song Chengxuan, the safer it would be, the emperor and the court were not fools, and they could find Song Chengxuan by showing a little clue.
Old Lady Song looked at Xu Qinghuan, Xu Qinghuan then asked, "What's strange about Master Song?" ”
Xu Rui was silent for a moment and said: "The master seems to have found the traces of the bandits before leaving Beijing, the master seems to be the same as usual, but he seems worried, especially for the young master and the young lady, I have been intimate with them for a long time in my arms, I happened to pass by outside the room at that time, and I saw that the eldest master's eyes were red."
If the eldest lord had known about these things a long time ago, it stands to reason that he should report them directly to the imperial court, even if he didn't do so, he could stay in the capital and not go far, wouldn't leaving the capital just give those people a chance.
The lord must have a hard time, he didn't go to the yamen, because he knew that even if he reported it to the court, he might not be able to escape the catastrophe.
Just because of this doubt, I asked someone to ask about the fate of those bandits, and after knowing that they were caught by the imperial court to correct the Fa, I went to see those heads with my own eyes, and none of those faces were known to me, and others may admit that I would admit my mistake, but I remember clearly what the person who cut me off a sword looked like, and I suspect that those people killed by the imperial court were not the ones who harmed the great master at all.
In order to find those people, I was a porter looking around, and I heard that there were bandits there, so I went to check, but I didn't see those familiar faces again, and then I also figured it out, so that the lord is afraid, and the people who can escape the government must be involved with the dignitaries, I might as well stay around the capital to search around, maybe there will be clues. ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xu Rui, and when Xu Rui said this, his eyes lit up slightly, and obviously there was progress after doing this: "You found those people?" ”
Xu Rui raised his head: "Found it...... By chance, I found him selling firewood in the city, and I knew who he was following. ”
Old Mrs. Song couldn't help but be moved when she heard this: "Who? ”
Xu Rui said: "It's that Cui Zhao, I was ecstatic when I found out, and I wanted to kill Cui Zhao to avenge the eldest master, but I know that Cui Zhao is just a steward, and there must be other people who killed the eldest master, but unfortunately I can't do that person for a while." ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "Are you talking about becoming a king?" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "I saw Cui Zhao enter King Cheng's Mansion, I ......" He couldn't describe the mood at that time, hated and desperate, Cui Zhao was in charge, and there would be a few people around him to follow, King Cheng was not an ordinary relative of the emperor, but also Zongzheng Siqing, he knew very well how difficult it was to get close to King Cheng.
But now that it's been found out, how can I do nothing.
Xu Qinghuan asked, "Did you do it?" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "Once King Cheng went to the outer room, I followed, but unfortunately I was discovered before I entered the courtyard and was almost caught by the guards, thanks to ...... Thanks...... After being rescued, I knew that things were far more difficult than I had imagined, so I stayed in the suburbs of Beijing and waited for a better opportunity.
That King Cheng seems to be fair and gentle on the surface, but secretly he doesn't know how many evil things he has done, and sooner or later he will reach out one day.
I'll be secretly looking for evidence...... Find a way to avenge the eldest lord and those family members, I ...... It may be a fool's dream, but I won't give up.
Only by revealing the true face of the king and finding out what happened back then can the grievances of the eldest lord be snowed and they can turn a blind eye. ”
When Xu Rui said this, his face was blazing.
The next thing, Xu Qinghuan was clear: "The person who gave you the idea and asked you to stay in the capital is King Jian?" The person who saved you was also King Jane, right? ”
Xu Rui admitted: "It was the prince who ordered someone to help me, the prince warned me not to act rashly, some things are not as simple as I thought, I suspect that King Jian knows what King Cheng did secretly, but I don't dare to say my identity, for fear that revenge will not implicate the Song family, so I proposed to stay with King Jian to collect evidence of King Cheng's evil."
A few days ago, Wei E was arrested, and Prince Jian sent me a message asking me to leave the capital immediately.
I think it's very likely that King Cheng found out that King Jian was secretly targeting him, so he framed King Jian, I heard that the matter of arresting Wei E was Uncle and Miss Xu, and I was anxious, I am afraid that Uncle and Miss Xu will be used by someone and want to send news...... But I don't know how to speak.
I can only stare at Cui Zhao, God pays off, and finally let me discover Cui Zhao's misdeeds, and the next thing must be known to the old lady and Miss Xu. ”
Xu Qinghuan nodded.
Xu Rui got up and knelt down again: "Old lady, now that Cui Zhao has been arrested, it is a good opportunity for us to avenge the eldest master, if I can go to the yamen to identify, I can't say that I can find the person who committed the murder back then." ”
Xu Qinghuan's eyes fell on the scar on Xu Rui's neck: "King Jian found you quickly back then, so he could save your life, right?" ”
Xu Rui nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying: "And I always feel that Prince Jian knows the eldest master, I have spread a lot of panic in front of Prince Jian, but Prince Jian never pursues it." ”
After the accident of Lord Song, King Jian immediately appeared to rescue Xu Rui, and helped Xu Rui hide his whereabouts, Xu Qinghuan's heart moved, did King Jian know that Lord Song saved King Wei's son back then?
