Chapter 72: The Past of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion
Only then did Du Yunnuan know that this manor was not Yan Tingfeng's manor, but the manor of the world-famous Xie Chi Xie Caizi.
However, about Xie Chi, Du Yunnuan knew more from the water chief master.
It is rumored that Xie Chi went west to the territory of the Tartars, but no one knows what Xie Chi went to the Western Regions to do.
A year after Xie Chi left the imperial capital, Yan Xiaolin, the old Marquis of Dingyuan, Yan Suifeng, the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Yan Tingfeng's father Yan Suiyun, and Yan Tingfeng's cousin Yan Tingshu had accidents in the north and west respectively.
Yan Xiaolin, the Marquis of Lao Dingyuan, was assassinated by assassins in the northern military camp, and died on the spot, Yan Suifeng led his troops deep into the territory of the northern Tartars, but was ambushed by the Tartars, and died with ten thousand arrows through the heart, Yan Suiyun was betrayed when he was fighting against the Tartars in the west, and fell from the horse into the chaos, and his bones were gone.
Yan Tingfeng's cousin, Yan Tingshu, chased the Tartar deep into the hinterland of the Tartar in the north and has since disappeared.
At that time, Yan Tingfeng had a similar fate as Yan Tingshu, he led a team of men and horses to chase the Tartar into the hinterland in the west, and then lost the news.
When the news of these battles was transmitted back to the imperial capital, all the people cried together, and tens of thousands of people and scholars surrounded the imperial capital and even the common people and scholars in the cities near the imperial capital, not only for the sacrifice of Lao Dingyuan's family on the front line of resistance to the Tartars.
Because almost at the same time as the old Dingyuan Marquis had an accident, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the imperial capital was destroyed.
The population of the Marquis of Dingyuan is not large, and the old Marquis of Dingyuan, Yan Xiaorin, is the only seedling in the family, he fought bravely on the battlefield, and turned Dingyuan Bo into the Marquis of Dingyuan with his great military exploits.
The old lady of Dingyuan Hou only gave birth to three children for Yan Xiaorin, namely Yan Suifeng, the son of Dingyuan Hou, the second daughter Yan Suining and the youngest son Yan Suiyun.
Yan Suifeng and Yan Suiyun followed their father on the battlefield when they were teenagers, and Yan Tingshu and Yan Tingfeng were both children born to their wives in the frontier.
And Yan Suining was raised by the old lady in Dijing since she was a child, and later married Xie Xianyu, the only son of the old lady Xie Yongyan, and gave birth to a pair of children, namely Xie Chi and Xie Chi's sister Xie Zhiqing.
When there was an accident in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the imperial capital, Yan Suining happened to take her three-year-old daughter back to the imperial capital to visit her mother, who knew that she had suffered, in that massacre, only Xie Zhiqing, a three-year-old child, was taken away and escaped, and none of the other old and young servants escaped.
When the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had an accident, Yue Dan Yang was only eleven years old at that time, and this case was the largest tragedy in the history of the imperial capital, and the first emperor was furious and ordered to investigate, but nothing was found, and those assassins who killed the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion disappeared directly into the world as if they had come and gone without a trace.
The Criminal Department and Dali Temple couldn't find out the slightest clue, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was gone, so the case finally became a headless case, piled up on the bookshelf of the Criminal Department.
But tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of literati crowded in the imperial capital to ask His Majesty to give them an explanation, the first emperor helplessly, invited all the temples and Taoist temples on Zhaoyun Mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital to pray for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion together, and it was also that time, Yue Dan Yang was fortunate to walk out of the Water Moon Temple once, and followed the water chief Shitai to pray for the heroic spirit of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Originally, everyone thought that this was the end of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but who knew that half a year later, two people led a team of more than a dozen people out of the grassland, one of these two people was Yan Tingfeng, who had been missing for a long time, and the other was Xie Chi, who had been hanging the seal and traveling west.
What happened later Du Yunnuan was not clear, she only knew that Yan Tingfeng directly broke into the court and threw the head of Dadamu, the leader of the Wuda tribe, the strongest tribe of the Tartars at that time, in front of the emperor.
At that time, the first emperor's health was already very bad, Chang Mingda almost covered the sky with one hand in the court, and Yan Tingfeng's move was almost a slap in the face of Chang Mingda.
After the first emperor saw Yan Tingfeng at that time, he didn't know if it was because of guilt or what, when he issued a holy decree, he gave Yan Tingfeng the title of the general of the expedition to the north and handed over the tiger talisman to him, and let him inherit the Marquis of Dingyuan, hereditary replacement, and gave him the Danshu iron coupon, and finally gave him a mansion as the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion.
And the original Dingyuan Marquis Mansion became a murderous mansion because too many people died, and the first emperor gave that mansion to Yan Tingfeng.
This is probably one of the few sober moments in the later years of the first emperor's coma, but unfortunately the first emperor died after that did not last for a year, it was supposed to be the crown prince who ascended the throne, but unfortunately the prince and Chang Mingda are not one heart, and then the prince had an accident, and the five princes who were quite outstanding under the prince also had an accident and were assigned to his own fiefdom, and finally the current Emperor Huaiyang, the sixth son of the first emperor.
Judging from the current situation where Yan Tingfeng was forced to disarm and return to the field, either Emperor Huaiyang has no power, or he completely trusts Chang Mingda, and he is not a good bird anyway.
"Miss Du, it's here." Uncle Zhang's voice pulled Du Yunnuan out of her thoughts, she glanced at the room in front of her, although it was simple, it was very clean and tidy, and the furnishings inside were also very elegant, and she saluted Uncle Zhang and thanked her at the moment.
"I'm sorry Uncle Zhang."
Uncle Zhang looked at the little girl in front of him and the little lady at home who were about the same age, although she looked a little sickly, but her eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she liked it a little in her heart, "If Miss Du has any needs, just let people tell me." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Du Yunnuan thanked him again.
After sending Du Yunnuan to the place, Hu Hui was about to leave, "Miss Du, I still have a task to do, so I won't stay here longer, Ah Yuan will take care of you here, if you need anything, you can find Uncle Zhang, and when the master finishes his business, he will come to pick you up, and we will send you back when the time comes." ”
Du Yunnuan knew that Yan Tingfeng was poisoned now, although this poison could be cured, there were still a few medicines in the search, he was the only root of the Yan family, Chang Mingda definitely wanted to get rid of it quickly, in order not to let Chang Mingda succeed easily, Yan Tingfeng must have a lot of things to arrange, and nodded hurriedly, "Brother Hu, go get busy, I will be obedient here." ”
Hu Hui was very satisfied with Du Yunnuan's acquaintance, greeted Uncle Zhang again, and left in a hurry.
Uncle Zhang had other things to be busy with, so he briefly talked to Ah Yuan about the situation in the manor, such as what to do about eating and the like, and then went to busy himself.
Du Yunnuan entered the house, carefully looked at the furnishings in the house, she lived in a simple house when she was watching the water and moon, and it was even simpler in the Du family, and when she arrived at such an elegant place, she felt that this place was not good, but she was in it, and she felt very comfortable when she looked at it, and every place in the house gave people the feeling that it was just right.
It really deserves to be the manor of that Xie Caizi, Du Yunnuan sighed in his heart.
