Chapter 158: Inheritance
Wei Luan has been feeling restless recently, because she always feels that these people around her have too many things to hide from her.
is not only the eldest brother, in fact, even Qi Niang is like this.
In the past, she didn't calm down and think seriously, but later there were many things, and she became more and more distracted, and she had no time to take care of these.
At the door of this inn today, Wei Ziqi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping touched Wei Luan's heart at once.
She just paused at her feet, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her eyes to see that Wei Ziqi had already opened his legs and strode into the door of the inn.
Zhao Falcon followed behind, and when he saw that she didn't move, he stood a little further back and called out to the girl.
Wei Luan came back to his senses violently, took three steps and made two steps, and almost rushed to Wei Ziqi's side.
As soon as her long arm was raised and stretched out, she just grabbed Wei Ziqi.
This kind of strength is actually not too big, how strong can her little person be?
But Wei Ziqi stopped and retracted his legs.
He looked back and saw Wei Luan staring at him with puffed cheeks.
Helpless, he sighed and put his hand on her shoulder: "Want to know how we have been involved?" Otherwise, I always talk like this, do you think that I wronged him for no reason, because I don't like him, so I made something out of nothing, and only took such non-yin and non-yang words, maliciously slandering him, so that you have doubts in your heart, and you can't ask, but in fact, it is to sow discord? ”
Wei Luan didn't think like this, although her eldest brother may be a long-sleeved master who is good at dancing, he doesn't know that his mind is so dirty, and he also uses it on her and Li Yan.
has been like this since she was a child, and now she is sowing discord again, doesn't she have eyes that can't see, and no heart that can't distinguish? In the end, the eldest brother may not be left with anything good, and he can't do what he wants to do, but he will cause a commotion.
So she shook her head, her eyes full of sincerity: "I know that my eldest brother is not such a person, and he will definitely not do such a thing, if you say this, it must be something that really happened, so that you remember it in your heart and have been remembering it to this day." But big brother, what has he done, what has he done to us, I want to know, maybe there is a misunderstanding in this, or maybe, it is not a misunderstanding."
It was precisely because the eldest brother would not maliciously slander Li Yan that Wei Luan felt that his heart was beating suddenly, and he was really uneasy.
The word misunderstanding is easy to resolve, but the terrible thing is that it is not a misunderstanding.
"You don't dare to go on." Wei Ziqi's hand moved from her shoulder to the top of her head, "At the moment, my cousin's case is still important, as for this matter...... Originally, I blamed me for leaking my mouth today, but I didn't intend to let you know at all. Wait until this incident is over, I will tell you about the past in detail, you are now older, you are a good girl who can distinguish between right and wrong, and can carry it clearly, I don't say whether what he did is right or wrong, and when the day comes, you have your own judgment and discernment. ”
"I ......"
"What judgment and discernment will you have in the coming days?"
Wei Luan's doubts could no longer be asked, because Li Yan was standing in the corridor on the second floor, looking at their brother and sister condescendingly.
She subconsciously went to look at Wei Ziqi, and sure enough, she saw that her eldest brother shook his head quietly, which was clearly signaling her not to ask more.
Maybe Li Yan did something and broke his eldest brother's heart, maybe that period of the past was a secret even to Li Yan himself, so after so many years, he never showed a single penny, nor did he mention a word to her.
Wei Luan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and when he looked up at Li Yan again, everything was already as usual: "It's nothing, it's just that I've seen my cousin, and I heard some different things from him, and I'm thinking about telling you, so that you can make a judgment." How can you stand and eavesdrop on our brother and sister? ”
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I heard movement downstairs just now, but I waited for a long time and didn't see you come up, so I pushed the door out and took a look." Li Yan saw that she didn't say anything, and she was very intentional about diverting the topic, so she really didn't ask anything, she just followed her words.
At this moment, his body moved, and he had already stepped down from the second floor, and after a short time, he stood still in front of the two brothers and sisters.
He counted the hours, and he had been in prison for more than an hour, and he should have made it clear what he should say and what he should explain.
So he gestured to Wei Ziqi with his eyes, and then opened his legs and sat on the long wooden bench in the lobby on the first floor.
Wei Ziqi gently grabbed Wei Luan, and then lowered his head to hint at her with his eyes, don't talk too much after a while, and then followed Li Yan to that end.
It's just that Li Yan sat down, but he didn't dare to sit down in a big way, so he stood aside with his hands folded.
Li Yan knew that he was not sincere and respectful, so he hated this pretentious appearance and style very much, he raised his hand and pointed to the side: "Sit and talk, I said a long time ago, you don't need to be like this all day long, you and I go out to do things together, you are always so restrained, don't talk about you, even I am uncomfortable." ”
Wei Ziqi thought about it, he said so, and if he didn't sit down, it would be too hypocritical, so he pulled out the bench next to him and sat down.
Wei Luan hid things in his heart for the few words when Wei Ziqi entered the door, no matter how he looked at Li Yan, he felt that he was hiding a lot of things from him, so he didn't dare to look at it again, for fear of leaking the emotions in his eyes, provoking Li Yan to be unhappy, and asking her again.
But the way she lowered her head and didn't speak made Li Yan feel more and more sleepy: "Isn't it okay before going out?" Did you encounter something on the road, or did Du Qiya embarrass you? I look at how listless you look. ”
While he said, he raised his voice to call Zhao Falcon.
Before the minion could come forward, Wei Luan had already stopped him with a sigh.
She raised her head slightly, still looking preoccupied, not so well hidden.
Wei Luan was beautiful and slightly, and she already had a statement in her heart: "You haven't seen my cousin"
She choked up at the throat: "A good person, unkempt and dirty, there are still wounds on his body, and the color of those wounds is not right, I asked, and he said that when he had just passed the court, Du Zhifu called for punishment." ”
Li Yan didn't seem to think so: "It's actually a very common thing to be punished when you go through the court, you look at Sun Chang now, you have suffered a lot less, if it weren't for the up and down of the Sun family, if you see him today, he will only be more embarrassed." ”
Wei Luan was not surprised by his attitude and reaction, and he didn't feel that Li Yan was too cold-blooded, but he just said no, and then picked up the previous words: "When I passed the hall, my cousin had already confessed his guilt." He has not been a bad boy since he was a child, he has a good heart and is kind to others, even if he usually has some quirky ideas, he has never had the intention of harming others, so he killed someone, and he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, so he confessed his guilt when he went to court. Isn't it too much to say that this man has confessed his sins and will be punished? ”
Li Yan frowned at this point, and looked sideways at Wei Ziqi: "What's going on?" ”
Wei Ziqi's hanging heart fell back into his stomach, and it was also due to Wei Luan's cleverness that he knew how to take the situation in prison and bring it to Chengzi.
Now Li Yan asked him, he thought about it, his eyes rolled twice, and told him about Sun Chang's situation in prison and him, and talked about Du Qiya's intention to let go of Debao when he was arrested.
Li Yan sneered after hearing this: "In terms of the ability to fish for oil and water, I'm afraid that no one can compare to Du Qiya." The dignified prefect of Sipinhu Prefecture, the criminal has obviously pleaded guilty, and he will be punished, but Debao is one of the criminals involved in the case, but he put the person back like this, just to ask him to go to Sun's house to ventilate and report the news, so that the people of the Sun family can bring silver to his hand. ”
He couldn't hide his anger anymore, and remade the table: "When I return to the capital in the next day, I will have to tell him everything he did in front of the imperial brother!" ”
This is naturally an afterthought, and now that the matter in Huzhou is not over, it will take several months to return to Beijing.
Wei Luan was afraid that he would be angry, and after a while, when he talked about the two little servants of the Chen family, he was going to lose his senses, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "You want to sue him, no matter how easy it is, he has done such a thing, and he will naturally have his retribution in the future, and you are angry with your body, that is the least worthwhile." ”
Li Yan snorted, but his tone was still very heavy.
What Wei Ziqi thought was actually different from Wei Luan.
Li Yan is by no means a person who will get carried away with anger, he has also experienced so many things, so that for the sake of such a Du Qiya, he will not have his ability to distinguish right from wrong, how many of the officials in this court are really clean and innocent for a lifetime? The means are even more powerful than Du Qiya, and there are even more, Li Yan may not have seen it, he is angry and angry, but not so powerful.
At this time, while he is angry, it is best to talk about the affairs of the Chen family
Wei Ziqi thought so in his heart, and he really did it on his face.
"Your Highness, there are still a few things, I want to return to His Highness immediately, the file of the case is sent over, His Highness will have to take care of this case by himself, and it is better for His Highness to know some details in advance."
No need to ask, this is what Sun Chang said to them in prison today......
Li Yan nodded and motioned for him to continue, Wei Ziqi was not sloppy, how Sun Chang told them, he also told Li Yan at this time.
When the words fell, Li Yan's face was only more ugly, and Wei Ziqi swallowed his saliva: "So Chen Zhengting was panicked before, and the two little servants of the Chen family are probably also problematic, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness will have to investigate it slowly." ”
"In this way, Sun Chang is really a righteous businessman, in that case, he can make such an agreement with the tea farmers, this Chen Zhengting ......" he snorted twice, smacked his tongue and tasted the product, "I can only say that he is indeed smart." If you hadn't been asked to go to the prison to see Sun Chang, you would have asked him to be fooled. ”
Wei Ziqi said: "Now His Royal Highness asks him, he is not afraid, it is a big deal to say that he doesn't know this three-seven point of profit, it is a contract between his cousin and the tea farmer, and it is reasonable for him not to know, even His Highness, and he can't do anything with him." ”
That's why Li Yan said he was smart.
"The two little servants of the Chen family" his eyes still fell on Wei Ziqi's body, "Isn't Sun Chang drunk, and now he can't remember what happened that day, and what does that girl look like?" How did the two little servants of the Chen family do it, and how did he say it, how did he know it so clearly? ”
"I said it was Depot later." Wei Ziqi did not excuse Sun Chang, although it was a family, but there were doubts in this case, that is, there were doubts, he pondered for a moment, "I thought that it was time to pass Debao to Huzhou, how it is, it is good to ask clearly, after all, there is still something about that girl here." However, how to deal with the food depends on how His Highness does. After all, he ...... depot."
He paused slightly, Wei Luan chuckled in his heart, and took his words in a muffled voice: "After all, Debao has served his cousin since he was a child, and he may not be able to believe everything he says." But in my opinion, it is still necessary to ask him to come to Huzhou, at least let him paint a portrait, and we will find the girl that night first."
She said while looking at Li Yan: "Don't you think it's strange? It was getting late, and a girl, walking alone on the street, happened to run into Chen Yuqing again. Ordinary girls, when it is twilight, it is time to return home, not to mention young women, even women who have become families, and they have to go to the fields to do work, and it is not so late, and they go back alone, isn't it too strange? ”
Of course, they suspected that there was something wrong with the girl from the beginning, but they couldn't find anyone, and they couldn't even investigate.
What's more, it was really late that day, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and no one saw it, if you want to say that you saw it, there were only Sun Chang, Debao, the two little servants of the Chen family and the girl herself.
The two little guys of the Chen family must speak towards the Chen family, but Debao's words must be towards Sun Chang, in fact, no matter how you say it, it is not credible, whoever you believe will fall into the handle, and attract tongues, the best way is to find the girl and listen to what she says.
Besides, this listening is not blindly listening, you must check it first, if it is indeed no problem, then her words are impartial and credible, even if she hates Chen Yuqing, and her words are biased to help Sun Chang, it is just Chen Yuqing's own doing.
After thinking about this, Li Yan's face softened slightly: "Zhao Falcon! ”
Zhao Falcon has been guarding the direction near the door, knowing that the masters have something to say, and he didn't call him, he naturally won't come forward to listen to what he shouldn't hear, now that Li Yan really called, Wei Luan on the side didn't stop him anymore, so he almost trotted closer: "Master, what do you want?" ”
"You send two people to Sun's house, and pass on Debao to Huzhou, all the way day and night, don't delay," he finished, remembered something, and added two more sentences, "Go to the prefect's yamen and tell Du Qiya, and say that Debao is a witness I want to send quietly, and let him be prepared in the prison of the government next to Sun Chang's room, if there is any leakage, I will only go to him for questioning." ”
