Chapter 217: Meeting an Old Friend
Judging from Feng Tao's words, the Wen family's secret guards killed Wen Hai? What kind of business is this?
Feng Taojing walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all: "Wen Chun has been raised in Zhuangzi since he was a child, we all know it. It is said that Wen Chun and Wen Hai have a good relationship, but after all, it is not out of the belly of a mother, and no matter how good Rao is, there is a layer of belly in the middle. ”
Hua Xiyan paced slowly in the room, digesting the two pieces of news that Feng Tao had brought to him. It is said that Wen Hai is dead, and it is meaningless to find out who did it to him in the first place, but Hua Xiyan has an intuition that this matter will reveal a great secret, a secret hidden behind all the glamorous appearances, enough to set off a monstrous wave.
"What's the situation in Taiyuan lately?" Hua Xiyan walked to the desk under the window, picked up a pen and paper, and asked slowly.
Knowing that she was asking about the Wen family, Feng Tao told all the news he had gotten in recent days: "The most popular is Wen Chun, the Wen family shop has been thriving under his leadership in the past few days, Wen Yao's days are also very moist, the oolong at the wedding has not caused any impact, the new lady's body is gradually recovering, and the father respects each other like Binqin Se. And Wen Yao also got a beautiful favor, which can be said to be extremely proud. Miss Wen's matter has been made clear before, and Miss Wen Er has been staying at home in Wenfu, and her life is also clean. ”
Hua Xiyan showed a smug attitude when he heard the wind say the words "beautiful like a flower", and couldn't help but feel a little funny. That Chi Yan came to Yun Qi, but was sent to Wen Yao by Feng Tao, can she still feel at ease?
"It doesn't sound like there's a problem." Hua Xiyan wrote and drew the approximate meaning of Feng Tao's words on the rice paper under his hand, and the wolf stayed in another place, and then asked: "I asked you to check on Wen Yao and this new lady before, but you have eyebrows?" ”
Feng Tao nodded: "This matter is actually not a secret in Taiyuan, and it is easy to ask." This new lady has been Wen Yao's maidservant since she was a child, and she has stayed with Wen Yao for the longest time, and her relationship is the most behind, and then she naturally became a roommate, and after she became pregnant, she gave birth to the eldest son of the boy in one fell swoop. It's just that in the days that followed, the health of the aunt and the eldest son became worse and worse, so Wen Yao sent the two to Zhuangzi to recuperate. ”
Hua Xiyan looked at the newly added content on the rice paper and nodded slowly. In this way, Wen Hai's biological mother married into the Wen Mansion later. There was no problem with Tongfang's body before, and later he even took his son to his health, so this is not accidental, the struggle between wives and concubines within the wealthy family is nothing more than those means, just think about it, you can know a seven, seven, eight, eight.
"Wen Yao goes to Zhuangzi every year to live for a while, and sometimes he takes Wen Hai with him, so the relationship between Wen Chun and Wen Hai is quite close." Feng Tao added.
Hua Xiyan looked at the relationship diagram of the Wen family drawn on the paper, crossed out the names of Wen Mei and Wen Lin, stared at the few words and lines on the paper and fell into deep thought.
"Are you sure that the person who did it was the Wen family's second-room secret guard?" Hua Xiyan asked again uncertainly.
Feng Tao nodded: "I have fought with the people in the second room of the Wen family a lot of times, and I will not admit my mistake." ”
Listening to this meaning, the Li family's secret guard is someone pretending, so the Wen family's secret guard is convinced. Wen Mei and Wen Lin will not make a move on their own siblings, the rest are Wen Yao and Wen Chun, they all say that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, and most of the Wen family's big family business depends on Wen Hai, Wen Yao will kill his own son unless he is crazy. Hua Xiyan thought and ticked off Wen Yao's name.
Gentle? Hua Xiyan's eyes stared at the name without blinking, and suddenly smiled. If Wen Hai dies, according to the relationship between Wen Yao and the concubine, the concubine's room will inevitably be corrected, and Wen Chun will become the only concubine at that time. And the family business run by Wen Hai will also fall into the hands of Wen Chun. The seemingly affectionate brotherhood does not seem to be worth mentioning compared to this bright future.
And he is gentle and polite, seemingly humble and polite, but in fact he is very ambitious. He desperately wanted to use his skills to push the Wen family to a new level, so as to be recognized by the world. Otherwise, he would not have been raised in the countryside since he was a child, and he would still be able to practice such a skill that is not inferior to that of the concubine of the deep house.
Thanks to Wen Yao's two sons, it doesn't take much trouble to get started, but if there are more sons, it will be tricky.
Son? Hua Xiyan blinked, his mind turned, and a doubt that had been shrouded in his heart seemed to have a breakthrough point in an instant, and he only needed to go one step deeper to come to light.
Quickly pulled a piece of letterhead from the side, Hua Xiyan splashed ink on it, and sprinkled a letter in a few moments. Hua Xiyan sealed the envelope and called Feng Yin: "This letter is sent back to the Wang family, and it will be handed over to the fourth brother in person." ”
Listening to Hua Xiyan's tone, he knew that he should not be underestimated at this time, so he took the letter and took the order to retreat.
Hua Xiyan let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair behind him, rubbing his forehead a little tiredly. She just thought of the time when she was in Huangzhao Temple before, the former Mrs. Wen had a miscarriage, and according to Ziquan's words, the fetus had already been poisoned in Mrs. Wen's womb. So who is this poisoner? If this person is gentle, then the person who assassinated Wen Hai must also be gentle.
I knew that Wen Chun was ruthless, but I didn't expect it to be in such a situation.
The scene in the Jinzhou public court suddenly appeared in his mind, after Wen Hai was arrested from Yancheng, before he left, he also told Wen Mei to honor her brother, which shows that Wen Hai really regards Wen Chun as his own brother. It is estimated that he could never have imagined that his biological brother was thinking about his own life.
The Wen family has a big business and countless family backgrounds, and Wen Hai is a natural businessman, so he firmly controls this family business and maintains a smooth operation. According to Wen Chun's mind, he could naturally think that if there was no Wen Hai, the Wen family would lose its main force. He has never known about shopping malls, is he really so confident that he can keep this family business?
Thinking of this, Hua Xiyan slowly stood up and said to the wind: "Accompany me to meet my old friend." ”
The afternoon sun is very warm, shining on people's faces and bringing an indescribable warmth. The sunlight was not dazzling, gilding everything in the courtyard with a soft light, and even the gloomy breath brought out by Huaxi smoke from the house was dispelled without a trace in an instant.
Stretching his waist, Hua Xiyan hammered his shoulders and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and said to the wind without looking back: "The air here is a little wetter than Taiyuan, and it has a moist feeling on the face, which is very good for the skin." ”
Feng Tao touched his face and nodded approvingly: "That's nature, I've always lived here before." ”
"No wonder your skin is as watery as a woman." Hua Xiyan suddenly turned his head and stared at the wind and smiled brightly.
Feng Tao pouted, thinking that you don't know that I am a native of the capital!
The two of them chatted with each other one after the other, looking at a leisurely and indifferent appearance, as if they were visiting the garden comfortably. Feng Tao thinks that Hua Xiyan is a very peculiar woman, not only in her intelligent mind and courage over men, but also in her attitude towards her subordinates.
Whether it is a servant girl or a secret guard, she never makes them kneel, nor does she let them call themselves "slaves and slaves", and when she speaks, she does not have a high posture, and even eats with them at the same table. It's easy to do these actions once or twice, but they are like this over time, which shows that this is a heartfelt respect for human nature.
With Hua Xiyan, his life is also a lot more exciting, it is no longer as simple as simply finding out the news, he will receive all kinds of tasks, he can stand in front of people in front of people in a dignified manner, instead of being a dark guard who can't see the light. And he has already seen that there will be more thrilling things waiting for him in the future.
Thinking like this, Feng Tao couldn't help but be grateful to Wen Xuanhou in his heart for letting him follow such a "restless" master.
There is a huge lake in the back garden of the palace, there are countless weeping willows on the lakeside, it is the spring day, the willows are silky, a little emerald green is reflected on the clear lake surface, under the blowing of the breeze, the willows move and move, suddenly broken into a piece of fine pearl and jade, and then slowly heal into a piece of azure blue and countless emerald green amber again.
There is a white marble stone bridge on the lake, which is white and flawless, small and exquisite, and does not see the grandeur and roughness of the northern architecture, but brings a bit of the exquisite elegance of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Hua Xiyan walked to a willow tree, stretched out his hand and patted it three times, walked to another book three zhang away, patted it four times, and walked back to the tree just now and patted it hard, and saw the piers of the white marble bridge cracking up and down, revealing a dark entrance.
"Let's go." Hua Xiyan whispered a word and entered the entrance first.
Feng Tao sighed at the subtlety of the design and followed behind.
The bridge hole closed behind the two, and the bridge became extremely dark for a moment, and the faint voice of Huaxi smoke sounded: "Flint!" ”
Feng Tao took out the flint from his arms and hit it, Hua Xiyan took it and put it on the stone wall on the side, only to hear a slight "boom", a fire dragon appeared on this stone wall, spreading into the distance, and the place where it passed was bright.
"So amazing?" Feng Tao looked at the fire dragon that couldn't see the end at a glance, and sighed.
"This ridge is made of improved wax, and the desire burns."
Hua Xiyan hooked her lips slightly, before coming to the capital, Wang Yao had told herself about the structure of this mansion, which naturally included this secret room, but now this fire dragon was more spectacular than she imagined after listening to Wang Yao's description.
The two of them walked one after the other, and the sound of their gentle footsteps was amplified several times by the not spacious secret passage, and the sound of knocking against the stone wall continued to echo, and the sound continued for a cup of tea before gradually stopping.
There were only three people in the extremely large room.
Hua Xiyan's eyes looked at the person not far away lightly, and only after a while did he speak softly: "Is Lord Li pretending to be asleep?" Why don't you open your eyes and look at my old friend? ”
The very soft voice was amplified several times by the empty and closed secret room, and it crashed straight into Li Xuzhen's eardrums. His closed eyes slowly opened, and he looked at the woman not far away, his face clear.
