Xue Qi thought his words were very funny, what did he say? Help Master get revenge? Could it be that the murdered master was beheaded without his "credit"? Even if you say that, you should also put him and Zhang Qingyuan together and avenge the master together. But thinking of what Ji Hui said just now, and Zhang Qingyuan was indeed more hateful than Zi Xiangzhi, he didn't pursue Zi Xiangzhi's words anymore, and continued, "You can ask whatever you want." ”

"Yu Zhengfeng, do you know each other?" Zixiang asked.

Xue Qi glanced at him, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Yes." ”

"What is the relationship between him and Master Ji?"

"Senior brother."

"Is his hometown in Fengping County?"

"How do you know?" Xue Qi said as if he was defending something, then paused, and continued, "I heard Sister Ayu say that he was from Fengping County. ”

Zi Xiang's voice gradually became a little excited, "Since he is your uncle, do you know anything else about him?" ”

"What do you want to know?" Xue Qi asked.

"It's already burning eyebrows now, and I have to tell you." Zixiang Zhidao, "Shi Mansion was raided because of Shi Zixiu's corruption and flood case, do you know about this?" ”

"I've heard of it." Xue Qi said, suddenly feeling that Shi Fu sounded so familiar...... Yes! What Sister Shi Nian just said is Shi Fu! He tried his best to control his emotions, and listened to Zi Xiangzhi's next words, and he also wanted to know what was going on.

"Back then, Lord Wei, ah...... It was also Wei Qinghuan's father, Wei An ...... "Zixiangzhi was afraid that Xue Qi didn't know who it was, so he explained, "I went to investigate the flood corruption case in Fengping County, and I found Shi Zixiu's head...... At that time, Lord Wei had already found some evidence of Shi Zixiu's corruption and was ready to present it to the emperor at any time. Who knows, a few days later, Shi Zixiu invited Master Wei to his home...... In the end, he drank Shifu's tea and died tragically in Shifu. ”

"It's ridiculous, could it be that this Shi Zixiu is a fool who actually poisoned Lord Wei in his own home?" Xue Qi questioned.

"That's right, it's very likely that Zhang Qingyuan set up a bureau to frame Shi Zixiu in order to protect himself, and Wei Qinghuan and I have been investigating this matter all these years." Zixiang's way, "But I only found a little clue, that is, this matter is related to Jingshiyuan and Zhang Qingyuan." Therefore, it is inferred that the embezzlement of disaster relief money was not only self-reliant, but also Zhang Qingyuan. ”

"But that case has been so long, and Shi Zixiu is dead, and there is no evidence to prove that the case was ......," Xue said.

"I came to you for this, Yu Zhengfeng's whole family was killed because of this corruption case, he must know something, I want to come to you to find some clues." Zixiang Zhidao, "Back then, we found the account book in Shi Zixiu's mansion, and in the account book, Shi Zixiu's own embezzled silver and a silver allocated to Fengping County, and there were still 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver left, and they were gone. In addition, the account of the disaster relief bank in Fengping County that year that we found was almost the same as the number of account books found in Shizixiu Mansion was missing, which further indicates that part of the money was taken away by others. ”

Xue Qi thought for a moment, "But how can this be suspected of Zhang Qingyuan's head?" ”

"Back then, it was Zhang Qingyuan who recommended Shi Zixiu to the emperor to serve as a disaster relief, and our people have seen Shi Zixiu go to Zhang Qingyuan's mansion many times. Zhang Qingyuan is a mercenary, treacherous and cunning, and people who are not good to him will never have a relationship, and they will never do a career that is not good for him. ”

"So if you want to overthrow Zhang Qingyuan now, these are just inferences, and there are still some physical and human evidence?" Xue Qi said. Zhang Qingyuan was the culprit who caused the master to resign, thus leading to all the things that followed, and now that he has the opportunity to overthrow Zhang Qingyuan, he will never let it go. At this time, Xue Qi thought of Shi Nian, if what Shi Nian said just now was true, then she was probably the daughter of Shi Mansion back then, Shi Zixiu's daughter, she must know something about this matter. But Xue Qi didn't immediately tell Zi Xiangzhi about Shi Nian, he said, "That's all I know about Master Yu, I guess you know all about it, and I'll inquire around about the rest, and I'll inform you if there's any situation." ”

Zi Xiangzhi knew that Xue Qi would definitely accept this matter, after all, the enemy of the enemy was a friend. This matter is settled, but there is still something that cannot be left unsaid, so he opened his mouth again, "Son, now that I am old, I am on my knees...... You're the only one......"

"Lord Shangshu, please go back." Xue Qi interrupted him and said unceremoniously. I didn't see you come when I drove my mother out, and now that I know that I have a son like me, I often come here, and he will never go back with him, let alone let him call him daddy again!

Zi Xiangzhi didn't dare to say any more, for fear that he wouldn't even be able to do the previous thing, so he left in a daze.

As soon as Zixiang left, Ji Hui came in and asked, "Ah, did he come to you because of that?" ”

Xue Qi knew that she was talking about recognizing her relatives, nodded and shook her head again, "It's not all, there are other things." After speaking, he paused, "I will never recognize him." ”

"Ah, if it's because of my father, you don't have to be like this, after all, no matter what you say, Zi Xiangzhi is also your only relative in this world." Ji Hui persuaded that she didn't want to make Xue Qi feel any burden because of her father.

"It's not all because of Master." Xue Qi said, "Besides, you can't be called a relative if you are not related by blood, you, Sister Ayu, Shi Niang, and Sister Shi Nian are my relatives." ”

There were originally so many "relatives", but now only they are left. Ji Hui hugged Xue Qi, she heard him say this, and suddenly wanted to cry, but she still held back, and the stubbornness in her bones told her that she couldn't cry like before.

"Let's go, Ah Hui, I'll take you to Sister Shi Nian." Xue Qi pulled Ji Hui and was about to go to Shi Nian's room to find her.

"What's wrong?" Ji Hui asked puzzled.

"About Sister Shi Nian and Sister Ayu's life experience." Xue Qi said.

"What background?" Xue Qi's words made Ji Yi a little sudden and a little curious, so she let Xue Qi pull her to the door of Shi Nian's room.

"Sister Shi Nian!" Xue Qi knocked on the door and shouted into the room, "Are you feeling better today?" ”

"Much better, thank you for remembering." After a while, Shi Nian's voice came from the room.

Xue Qi looked at Shi Nian as if she didn't plan to come out, she was like this these days, except for some necessary things, she almost wouldn't leave her house, so she coaxed her and said, "Sister Ayu has sent a letter, and it mentioned you." ”

Sure enough, Shi Nian quickly came out when he heard this, but he was wearing a scarf on his face, "Where is the letter?" Let me see. Is Ayu coming back? ”

Although Shi You's face couldn't be seen, Xue Qi and Ji Hui could hear her anxiety from her eyes and words. Xue Qi said with some embarrassment, "Sister Shi Nian, I don't believe it." ”

Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Xue Qi really lied to her, but she didn't get angry, but pulled the veil on her face and said, "Bad boy, what's the matter?" ”

Xue Qi scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking about what to say, and finally thought of a not-so-good beginning, "Sister Shi Nian, I heard that you and Sister Ayu are sisters?" ”

Shi Nian obviously didn't expect Xue Qi to ask her this, although it was impossible for her to think of anything bad for this matter to be known by others, but since the third sister asked her to keep it secret, it would definitely not be beneficial to the third sister if this matter was known by others. She took a step back and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Xue Qi hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "I accidentally heard what you said in the room just now...... "He himself will not lie, not to mention that this is in front of Shi Nian, and there is no need to lie."

Shi Nian covered his mouth, with a look of regret, blaming himself for being too careless and leaking this matter, but how to explain it to the third sister?

Xue Qi looked at Shi Nian's appearance and hurriedly explained, "Sister Shi Nian, I won't talk nonsense about this matter to others. I asked you for confirmation of this because I wanted to ask you another thing. ”

Shi Nian clasped his hands, stared at Xue Qi, and said, "Don't talk about this matter." Whatever you have to ask, I know will tell you. ”

Xue Qi nodded, indicating that he would keep it a secret, "Sister Shi Nian, Ling Zun is Shi Zixiu?" ”

Hearing Xue Qi's words, Shi Nian was even more surprised, but thinking that Xue Qi said that he had just listened to what he said, he still nodded a little hesitantly.

After getting Shi Nian's affirmative answer, Xue Qi got straight to the point, "Then Sister Shi Nian, you must know about the flood in Fengping County back then, and the case of disaster relief silver being embezzled, right?" ”

Shi Nian then nodded, she gradually understood what Xue Qi wanted to ask, but after so much time had passed since this matter, he brought up this matter again, "After so many years, what are you asking about this matter?" ”

"Sister Shi Nian, do you remember that a Master Wei died in your home back then?" Xue Qi continued.

"Yes. But that incident was not done by my father, it was poisoned by a maid in our house, and it harmed our whole family......" Shi Nian hurriedly explained.

"Maid?"

"It's a little maid next to my father, named Juan'er."

"But Zi Xiangzhi suspects that Zhang Qingyuan framed Ling Zun for this matter." Xue Qi wondered, "Could it be ......?"

Shi Nian suddenly figured it out, "Could it be that Juan'er was instructed by Zhang Qingyuan?" No wonder, all these years I've wondered why she did this. Then she calmed down again, "But, why did Zhang Qingyuan frame his father?" ”

"Because he also embezzled disaster relief money, in order to protect himself, he ......," Xue said.

Shi Nian only then understood what was going on.

"So I came to you to ask Sister Shi Nian to recall some of the details at the beginning and see if there are any clues." Xue Qi said.
