Chapter 055: Murder
Lin Wanying was stunned for a moment after hearing Hongwen's words, as if she didn't understand.
Seeing her like this, Hongwen hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked to her side, and said to her ear: "Cousin, cousin is injured!" ”
Being yelled at by Hongwen like this, Lin Wanying instantly came back to her senses and said, "When did it happen?" Yesterday in the Lin Mansion, my aunt didn't tell me. ”
Lin Wanying's first reaction after confirming that she heard it correctly was, is this something fake?
But when I thought about it, I felt that it was wrong, if this happened today, she didn't hear about it when she went back yesterday.
But when Hongwen heard the news, it was not like that.
"This is also the news that my mother just received when I went to the kitchen just now, my cousin was injured a few days ago, but I kept it from my cousin."
Lin Wanying didn't take her brother's injury to heart, after all, her brother is a military general, and it is not surprising that military generals will be injured if they bump and bump on weekdays.
But when she heard Hongwen's words, she knew that something was wrong.
The injury she suffered a few days ago was that her aunt didn't say it, Zhao Xuanhui didn't know?
Then why did he hide it from her for so many days, could it be very serious?
"Tell me what the hell is going on!" Lin Wanying's tone was very unkind, and after Hongwen listened to her words, her frightened hands shook, and she tried to calm down, and then she spoke: "My mother said that this matter was news from a sister she knew before, and it is not certain whether it is accurate or not, she wants me to tell you, so that you can find a way to inquire about it tomorrow."
said that this was the case, or a few days ago in the barracks someone coaxed to compete with his cousin.
My cousin didn't agree, but those people took advantage of my cousin's absence to bully the monkeys, and when my cousin returned, he agreed to compete with them.
But they seem to be too many and deceitful, fortunately, my cousin was clever in the end and only broke his arm, but just like that, he couldn't practice martial arts for a month.
He also said that his cousin was unhappy when he lost the competition, and he threatened to kill the person who deceived him because he was the son of the Lin Mansion. ”
As soon as Hongwen finished saying this, although what she said didn't seem to be clear, Lin Wanying still knew that this matter was really not simple.
This contest is fake, and only the last news is the most important.
My aunt is probably also afraid that Hongwen will say bad things, and she is worried that she will talk nonsense, so that she thinks that 'my cousin is injured and hides from my cousin' is the most important news.
But Lin Wanying is not as simple as Hongwen thinks about things, as soon as she hears these words, she knows what her aunt wants to tell her.
Thinking of her aunt's reaction when she saw her yesterday, Lin Wanying looked at Hongwen and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to Zhuangzi tomorrow, and you go with you, and when you see your brother, you tell him carefully what your aunt said." ”
If an arm injury is not to mention raising it for a month, it is a trivial matter to raise it for three months, but if someone uses this incident to murder someone who competes with his brother, and if the words from Hongwen today are spread, it will become evidence that others framed his brother for murder.
The more she thought about it, the more Lin Wanying felt that this matter was not simple.
wanted to leave the house, but she was afraid that Zhao Xuan would know that this matter was arranged by him, so after thinking about it, she still decided to wait for Zhao Xuan to come back and ask him again.
Zhao Xuan's return is not too late, now above the court, Emperor Xi Cheng promoted people from the five princes, he was told by Lin Zhiheng to endure it, and he only went to see his father every day.
When the morning court was dispersed, he went to the harem to meet his mother Concubine Wen, talk to her, and respect filial piety, and then leave the palace.
Today, when he left in the morning, he instructed Le Kang to pack his things and prepare to go to Lin Wanying's place to serve in the next few days.
But he didn't expect that he had just sent Lekang to serve Lin Wanying in the morning, and now that he had just returned home, he saw Lekang waiting in the front yard.
"Your wife has something to look for?"
Seeing Lekang, Zhao Xuan was still a little surprised, after all, Lin Wanying is not a person who likes to send eunuchs or maidservants to stop people.
But today, Lin Wanying arranged for Le Kang to wait for him.
"If you go back to your grandfather, Mrs. Chen wants to eat chestnut cake today, but the kitchen is not appetizing, so Mrs. ordered to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to pick chestnuts and make them."
When Le Kang went to Lin Wanying, he was instructed by Zhao Xuan to know what he was going there for.
But he didn't expect that he hadn't gone to the Prince's Mansion yet, and Mrs. Sakura already had something to do here.
Listening to Lekang say these words, Zhao Xuan nodded, he naturally knew about this matter, and the two of them discussed it together yesterday.
But looking at Lekang's obvious appearance of having something to say after saying this, Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What else is going on?" ”
"Hongwen, the maidservant next to Mrs. Sakura, also heard a news from nowhere, saying that the fifth son of the Lin Mansion was injured in a martial arts competition a few days ago, and Mrs. was very worried after hearing about it."
After Le Kang said this, he took a few steps closer to Zhao Xuan, and then continued: "With this matter, there is also a rumor that the fifth prince has put down his words and wants to kill these people who cheated on him during the competition. ”
The first words are not important, only the last words are the most important.
Zhao Xuan's first reaction after hearing these words was the same as Lin Wanying's, thinking that this matter was not so simple.
"You go and find out what's going on here, go to the front yard study to deal with some things first, and then go to your wife after an hour."
Zhao Xuan's words have been hinted at very obviously, give Lekang an hour to inquire about what is going on.
After getting Zhao Xuan's order, Le Kang immediately saluted respectfully, and after seeing Zhao Xuan leave, he was ready to go to the mansion to inquire with an excited expression.
He didn't expect that after so many years by his master's side, there were times when he was entrusted by his master to do something like this.
Not to mention how Lekang proudly felt that he could finally behave well, Lin Wanying guessed this when she went to the study in the front yard after learning that Zhao Xuan had returned home, and Zhao Xuan didn't know about it.
Since Zhao Xuan didn't know about it, the more suspicious this matter became.
Fortunately, Lekang is worthy of being one of the four people who followed Zhao Xuan in the early years, although everything has not been obvious for so many years, but he went out to inquire about this matter for more than half an hour, and he asked what was going on.
"The slave inquired clearly, this matter was provoked by the brother-in-law of a cousin of the second prince's concubine's mother's family, and in the end, the five princes followed together in the robes, and most of them were the second prince's people."
After Lekang finished saying this, he waited for Zhao Xuan to praise him, but Zhao Xuan frowned and thought deeply after listening to his words.
When Zhao Xuan heard that this was the second prince's lineage, his first reaction was that something was wrong.
If his second brother could have this kind of brain, he would not be called a 'second fool' in private.
"You continue to investigate this matter, and find out whose brother-in-law the second princess and concubine is." After saying this, Zhao Xuan reminded again: "Check the fifth child to see if his father has paid more attention to him recently and raised his mind." ”
If Zhao Xuan is allowed to keep one person between the second prince Zhao An and the fifth prince Zhao Ding, then he will definitely leave Zhao An's life.
A 'fool' who has the support of others but is not worried about himself is naturally easier to deal with than a person who has been disguising himself since he was a child and is good at being false and wronged.
After confirming that this matter was indeed wrong, Zhao Xuan left the study in the front yard and went to Lin Wanying's yard.
Lin Wanying, who was lying in the house, heard the announcement, and didn't get up, but just picked up the fox eyes to look at Zhao Xuan who was walking towards her.
"As for you, you didn't dare to come back until you found out what was going on."
Lin Wanying picked the fox and watched Zhao Xuan just finish saying this, Zhao Xuan clenched his fist in embarrassment and raised his hand to his mouth, and after a fake cough, he said to her: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will ask the master, and the master can't answer." ”
Zhao Xuan is getting along with Lin Wanying more and more naturally, this kind of action expression, he would never have done it before.
After saying this, Zhao Xuan had already walked to Lin Wanying's side, picked her up from the soft collapse, and put her in his arms.
Lin Wanying leaned on Zhao Xuan's arms and found a comfortable position for herself, then said: "The concubine is anxious, it is because she is worried that this matter is deliberately arranged by the master, and she wants to know the exact news. ”
Hearing Lin Wanying's words, Zhao Xuan not only did not feel irritable, but liked to listen to her say 'come back' and 'enter the house'.
"Okay, if you don't know in the future, you can come back directly, and the province will make you worry." After saying this, Zhao Xuan said what Le Kang had heard, "This thing is really wrong, but don't worry, now that the master already knows, he should naturally know what to do." ”
Zhao Xuan didn't have to think about it to know that this must have been done by several of his brothers.
The crown prince is now locked up in the prince's mansion and can't get out, the second prince Zhao An is a 'fool', the fourth prince Zhao Ning and the sixth prince Zhao Yu have no intention of fighting for power because their mother's family does not show their mediocrity.
So in this matter, the first thing he suspected was Zhao Ding, who had recently been reused by his father and was a little inflated.
After listening to Zhao Xuan's words, Lin Wanying knew that there were so many hidden meanings behind this matter.
After thinking about it, she finally said to Zhao Xuan: "In this case, the concubine body will not ask about this matter, originally the concubine body just felt that this rumor was not good for her brother, who knew that there were so many things." ”
As soon as Lin Wanying finished saying this, Zhao Xuan patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long, as long as you get through this time." ”
In fact, Zhao Xuan himself didn't know how long this period would be, but he was a man, a person to rely on for Lin Wanying, and he had to comfort Lin Wanying like this.
Lin Wanying didn't understand those things that were fighting for power, but she could also feel that it was a critical moment now.
Leaning on Zhao Xuan's arms and nodded, thinking about what was going on in this matter, she also hoped that her brother would not be involved in this matter.
But sometimes, the man just doesn't talk about it.
Lin Wanying was still thinking that this matter should not make a big fuss, just when an ordinary competition ended.
A few days ago, he competed with Lin Weiyuan, and the person who won Lin Weiyuan by fraud was found to have not returned to the barracks on time after his vacation.
The brothers who came to the barracks together in the past went to his house to look for him and didn't find him, and at this time, Lin Wanying was following Zhao Xuan to Zhuangzi in a carriage, preparing to see Lin Weiyuan today and ask what was going on.
