Chapter 316 The cause of Mengjun's death
Seeing that the tip of Longquan's sword came straight to the center of his eyebrows, Mu Yunsong was still straight and did not avoid it.
However, Nie Xiaoxian, the son of the Nie family in front of him, hurriedly grabbed the embarrassed Nie scholar: "Father, think twice!" ”
"What's there to think about?!" Nie Zhiyuan, a scholar of Nie University, held the Longquan Sword in his hand, and he was so angry that his three white beards under his chin were trembling, "This bastard thing killed my daughter and your sister, and now he still has a face to come to the door!" ”
Nie Xiaoxian hated to cover his father's mouth: No matter how you say it, people are also dignified princes of Beijing, your former son-in-law, like a fake royal relative who still has heavy troops, and is known as the "cold-faced Hades" in Yanbei, how can you be so offended?
But today, the temper of this king of Hades seems to be surprisingly good, and in the face of the former father-in-law who was about to do something like thunder, he just stood with his head bowed respectfully, and said with his fists clenched: "Lord Nie is angry, and the younger generation is also sad about what happened to Meng Jun back then, and he has always wanted to ask the second elder for his guilt in person. But the younger generation took the liberty to come today to find something from Meng Jun's life, which may be related to the cause of Meng Jun's death that year, and asked Lord Nie to help. ”
Just last night, Su Qi told him: Mr. Su assassinated the old prince Mu Yutang to death, and there may be something else.
"Mr. Su is upright in everything, and he is unparalleled in the world in his own ability, and he never disdains to use drugs and other indiscriminate things. And he once told me personally that on the night of the assassination of the old prince, his sword was not poisonous! ”
But Mu Yunsong remembered clearly that on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Mr. Su's sword pierced the chest of the old prince Mu Yutang, Mu Yutang was experienced in a hundred battles after all, and moved his body an inch at the last moment, avoiding the vital position.
Later, it was confirmed by Dr. Xue that the old prince Mu Yutang was poisoned to death, and the wound pierced by Mr. Su's sword was found to be highly poisonous and buried in the throat with blood!
That's weird...... If Mr. Su's sword is not poisonous, then where does the poison come from?
Before parting, Su Qi recalled another thing: "Before leaving, Meng Jun said to me that if one day, the prince has doubts about the cause of the death of the former king, he will go to find the last letter she sent back to her mother's house!" ”
Mu Yunsong nodded in response, and hurriedly switched positions with Xia Ke, who had been waiting in the dark for a long time, and then Xia Ke deliberately made some noises to attract the inner guards to find him, and he took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the palace.
After Su Qi's last sentence, Mu Yunsongfang once again remembered Nie Mengjun's ex-wife. After the succubus incident, he also felt sorry for her, but he finally collected the few bits and pieces of memory he had for her and buried her deeply, and never remembered her again.
Now, when he suddenly heard Meng Jun's strange entrustment before leaving, it seemed that he had expected that sooner or later he would be suspicious of his father's death, which made Mu Yunsong have another layer of speculation:
Did Meng Jun know anything before she died?
After leaving the palace and returning to the hiding place, Mu Yunsong was always thinking about this matter, and by the way, he also had a little more doubts about Mengjun's death.
Because after he married Meng Jun back then, his relationship was indeed cold, so everyone in the palace said that Meng Jun fell ill because of depression, and insisted on going back to his parents' house because he was angry with him.
Now that I think about it, Nie Mengjun, as a lady in the capital, has been deeply taught by poetry and etiquette since she was a child, and she is indifferent and introverted.
What's more, if Sifu was anxious and heard that his father-in-law was about to return triumphantly, he should have gotten better because of joy, but Meng Jun became more and more panicked back then, and even insisted on going back to the capital despite his extremely weak physical condition...... It's not so much to be angry with him, but more like avoiding him!
What kind of ulterior conspiracy did Nie Mengjun snoop on or participate in back then, so that he didn't dare to see him like a frightened bird?
And this hidden conspiracy is the cause of his father's death, or the real cause of Nie Mengjun's death?
"The cause of death? Do you dare to mention the cause of my daughter's death?! Nie Zhiyuan was reminded of the sad past, and became more and more sad and angry, "I also inquired about it back then!" Since my daughter married you, you have turned a blind eye to her and been extremely cold, leaving my daughter alone every day! You have been fighting outside for most of the year, leaving my family Jun'er at home to worry about you, but you have never given her a word! How different is a day like this from being a widow?! My Jun'er was by you! After receiving the bad news, my wife was grief-stricken, and she died of depression not long after! Two lives in a family, you still dare to come and talk to me about the cause of death?! ”
"Father, be cautious!" Nie Xiaoxian stubbornly pulled his father and wanted to rush forward with his sword, "Jun'er was killed on the way back to Beijing Province, and it can't all be blamed on the prince!" ”
King Beijing dared to openly appear in the capital Nie Mansion, presumably because he wanted to turn his face with the emperor...... If you really annoy this Hades, with our two fathers and our powerless literati, do you think it is really his opponent?
Nie Xiaoxian pulled his father while peeking at the reaction of King Beijing, and saw that the fist on his side suddenly clenched, and he was immediately frightened, and he pulled his father back regardless of it, and almost dragged the old man to the ground.
But the king of Hades in front of him just raised his hand and clenched his fists, bowed down and bowed again: "Mrs. Nie unfortunately passed away, and the younger generation expresses deep condolences. But about Meng Jun's back then, whether it was angry or martyred, the younger generations and adults wanted to know the truth, so please let the adults temporarily dissipate their anger and inform the younger generations, where was the last letter from Meng Jun before his death? ”
Seeing that the King of Beijing couldn't fight back and scolded him back, Nie Zhiyuan lost his temper, panted and threw the Longquan sword on the ground, looked at him and said coldly: "You want to find Jun'er's family letter?" Okay, that book is in Jun'er's boudoir in the backyard! If the prince of Beijing has the ability, he will go and get it! ”
Mu Yunsong didn't expect Nie Zhiyuan to be so relieved, and hurriedly said deeply: "Thank you, Lord Nie!" When the younger generation finds out the cause of Meng Jun's death, he will give an explanation to the Nie family! ”
Nie Zhiyuan sneered: "Let's see first, if you will confess yourself today!" ”
Mu Yunsong bowed, then turned around and wanted to go to Nie Mengjun's boudoir to look for it, but when he stepped out of the door, he saw four Nie family nurses, holding long sticks with thick bowls, all of them beckoned to him!
Mu Yunsong subconsciously raised his arm to block, but during the fight, he caught a glimpse of Nie Zhiyuan's sad and angry gaze from afar, and suddenly realized in his heart, so he lowered his hand and gave up resistance, allowing the four sticks to fall heavily on his shoulders and back!
The successive heavy blows made his back shake, busy concentrating on his luck, and stabbing his feet to stabilize his figure.
Under the blow of the four family members, seeing that the other party neither fought back nor fell, they were a little at a loss, so they raised their eyes to look at their master, and saw that the master resolutely made a gesture and said: "Keep fighting!" Come on, hit me hard! ”
As soon as he gave the order, more nursing staff came running and joined the one-sided fight.
The sticks fell on Mu Yunsong's shoulders, back, arms, and legs like dense raindrops, making the seemingly short distance a few miles away. Mu Yunsong just gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, silently endured the torture without saying a word, bearing the heavy and painful resentment of the Nie family, dragging his legs, which had been beaten to the point of being unconscious, step by step, slowly walking towards the backyard of the Nie family.
"Father!" Not far away, Nie Xiaoxian couldn't bear to look at it, "If my father hates King Beijing, he directly ordered him to be arrested and handed over to the emperor, why should he be insulted and trampled on him like this?" ”
"He deserves it!" Nie Zhiyuan said coldly, looking at Mu Yunsong, who was struggling to support his figure in the rain of sticks and approaching the boudoir in the backyard step by step, "I hate him because he lost Jun'er!" But if he is handed over to the emperor, my Great Yan Dynasty will be really finished! After that, he instructed Nie Xiaoxian again, "Tell my subordinates to keep their mouths shut for me, and don't reveal a word about what I see and hear today!" ”
Nie Xiaoxian hurriedly said "yes", and made a voice to order the family to stop, seeing that Mu Yunsong's clothes had been beaten to pieces, his body was like a rain of blood, and his steps were a little unsteady, but he forced himself to salute his father again, and he held on to the wall to breathe for a moment, and stepped into Meng Jun's boudoir before his death.
This King of Beijing is really a tough guy with iron bones. Nie Xiaoxian sighed in his heart, but he was puzzled: "Father, why did you say that the King of Beijing insisted on looking for Jun'er's family letter before his death?" What exactly was written in that letter? ”
Hearing his son's question, Nie Zhiyuan showed a strange look on his face, but he told the truth: "The last letter sent by Jun'er was a wordless blank piece of paper!" ”
In the Qianxi Palace, Su Qi sat alone on the dilapidated corridor, feeling the last bit of warmth brought by the sunset, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, he and Xia Ke were on the back mountain of Luojia Mountain, digging open the hot stones with their hands and feet, grabbing the roasted sweet potatoes that were simmering sweetly, and wanted to wait to put down his mouth and was afraid of being burned, so he had to look up carelessly while blowing, but suddenly saw the magnificent sunset in the distance.
At that time, she was still young and shocked by this beautiful scene, stood up and pointed to the western sky and shouted, "Senior brother, look! That continuous cloud is as beautiful as roasted sweet potatoes! ”
Xia Ke, who was gobbling up, was almost choked to death by her words, rolled his eyes at her and said, "Just your wording, this aesthetic, and this realm...... I will be in the countryside and mountains all my life, and I can't marry any big families. ”
Xiao Suqi was at the age of dreaming of being a princess at that time, and immediately pouted and stopped: Why do you sentence me to death for the rest of my life if I say a word? People still want to marry a beautiful son and a handsome champion, okay......
Xia Ke saw the little girl's cheeks bulging, and her big eyes blinked aggrievedly, and immediately changed her words: "I was wrong, I was wrong!" My junior sister is so beautiful and natural, don't say anything big in the future, even the emperor Lao Tzu will bow down under your pomegranate skirt. ”
After that, even I felt that this was too fake and perfunctory, so I had to add a sentence: "It's that other people can't look down on you without eyes, and what about senior brother me, I'm the son of a big family, and I can't lose you!" ”
After that, Xiao Suqi was not allowed to question it, so he stuffed the roasted sweet potato in her hand into her mouth: "Eat quickly, Aunt Li will find out that she has lost the sweet potato after a while, and it will be difficult to do!" ”
