The next day, we went to the General's Mansion to meet us.

The one who came out to entertain us was Wei Ying's righteous son, Wei Shen.

When he saw us, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two adults, did we meet yesterday in the suburbs of Ganzhou?" ”

The senior brother nodded yes, and I answered on the side: "At that time, I saw the major general riding by, and I wanted to say hello to you, and I didn't want the major general's horse to ride as if it was flying......

"Scarlet ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by my senior brother.

He glanced at me angrily, and then said to Wei Shen: "Brother She's stubborn, he has been used to speaking without words since he was a child, and he has no malice, and I ask the young general to forgive me." ”

Wei Shen said something, and then said: "At that time, I suddenly heard the news of the murder of my father-in-law, and I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't notice the two adults, so I should apologize to you." ”

It seems that those villagers in Ganzhou are right, Wei Shen is really a gentle and generous person, even if my senior brother and I are just a small official with a sesame mung bean, and I deliberately mocked us, he still treated us as politely as possible.

It's just that among the people I saw, only the housekeeper in their house was there, but I didn't see the little lady named Meng Fuling.

He looked around for a moment and said, "It turns out that when General Wei had an accident, wasn't the young general at home?" ”

Wei Shen nodded, perhaps because of his father-in-law's accident, his description could not hide the haggard and sad "color", and replied: "A few days ago, the villages near Ganzhou were looted by mountain bandits, and I took people to expel those gangsters. ”

His statement can correspond to the testimony in the dossier, the murder of the lord by the magic knife occurred on the night of the second day after Wei Shen left Ganzhou City, and generally speaking, he did not have the time to commit the crime.

However, according to my junior sister and I's speculation, the figure that the housekeeper saw in the ancestral hall was not Wei Ying, that is to say, Wei Ying's real death date should be before this, although the specific time cannot be determined, but maybe Wei Shen had not left when Wei Ying had an accident, so his words could not wash away his suspicions.

But, I can't think of a reason to let Wei Shen kill Wei Ying, he is already the young master of the Wei family, through those villagers, it can be known that although the two of them are not biological father and son, they are better than father and son, Wei Ying has always treated him well, it can be said that in addition to the grace of promotion, there are more than ten years of nurturing, why did he risk killing Wei Ying?

Is it for status?

After Wei Ying's death, the position of the head of the Wei family, the official position of the chief soldier of Ganzhou City, could fall into his hands.

But over the years, Wei Ying has put him in touch with the ministers and bureaucrats in the court, and he has intended to pass on the position to him, three or four years, but sooner or later, he should not be so anxious to kill his father-in-law for the sake of what is destined to belong to him.

Is it for women?

After Wei Ying's original partner died, he never married a wife until he met Meng Fuling, and he included her in the mansion as a concubine.

Although Wei Shen is nearly thirty years old and has not started a family, he should not be disobedient enough to fall in love with his aunt.

What's more, for Meng Fuling to kill Wei Ying, even if Wei Ying died, they couldn't be together, after all, everyone in the world knew the relationship between Meng Fuling and Wei Ying, after the death of his father-in-law, he married his aunt, such a scandal was enough to make Wei Shen suspicious and ruined.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the absence of evidence, why should I think nonsense and speculate on such a thing?

I heard Wei Shen ask again: "I heard that Master Gu is a warlock of the Hongwen Pavilion in Beijing, I don't know if I can see the clue from my father-in-law's body?" ”

"We ......"

Seeing that the senior brother almost leaked the clues we had discovered, the senior sister was quick to move, grabbed him and asked, "Senior brother, where is the thatched house in the General's Mansion, I want to go to Xiaojie." ”

The senior brother was pulled by her, almost fell, stood firm, and said angrily: "What thatched house, what a small solution, you are a girl's family, can you speak elegantly?" Besides, I've just been here, how do I know? ”

"Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"

The junior sister still pulled his arm, looking anxious, if it weren't for the fact that I had already gotten used to her way, I would have almost been deceived by her.

"Is it a poor hospitality ......"

At this time, Wei Shen said gently: "From this road, keep walking, in the bamboo forest in the backyard." ”

As he spoke, he specially called a maid to lead the way for his sister.

He is really interesting, he is obviously a military general, but he is more like a noble son with an elegant temperament.

Treat people with a degree of discretion, not at all like those reckless men on the battlefield who only know how to fight and kill, after thinking about it, what can describe him is probably the 'gentleness' that the people of Ganzhou said.

After the senior sister made such a fuss, fortunately, the senior brother's mistake was covered up, and Wei Shen should not suspect anything.

However, in order not to let him feel that we had indeed found something, Senior Brother had not finished his words just now, so I still spoke first: "There is nothing on General Wei's body, and the young general can take the general's body back and bury it as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Lord Gu."

Hearing this, Wei Shen thanked me and said: "As a son of man, my father-in-law encountered an accident, but he couldn't let him go to the ground to settle down, and he has been uneasy in the next two days. ”

I comforted him and said: "The death of General Wei is really strange, the imperial court will have such an arrangement, it is also careful, for the safety of the people of Ganzhou City, and at the same time, it is also to let the soul of General Wei rest in peace, and please don't blame the young general." ”

Wei Shen saluted me again: "I understand everything." ”

Hearing our conversation, the senior brother fell silent, and I think he should also understand the reason why the senior sister didn't let him speak just now.

I know he's upset and doesn't like me to lie to people, but I can't help it, everyone is suspicious until the killer is determined, and I don't want to startle the snake and make a mistake.

I heard Wei Shen say again: "Last time on the king's birthday, I went to Shengjing with my father-in-law to report on work, and I wanted to go to Fu's house to visit Master Fu, but I didn't expect that Master Fu was not in the mansion. ”

Hearing this, the senior brother hurriedly said: "My father is busy with government affairs and is often absent from the house, and even I rarely see him, which is really rude." ”

"Master Fu misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Wei Shen explained: "The last time I went to Shengjing, it was not Lord Zuodu Yushi who went to the Fu family to meet, but Lord Fu, I heard that my father-in-law and the respected teacher are old friends, and Lord Fu and I are of the same age, and I am not very familiar with Shengjing, and I don't know anyone, so I went to meet Master Fu, and I originally wanted to make friends with you." ”

"Last time the king was born, ...... birthday"

The senior brother recalled: "It seems that I was on the orders of my father to do some things in the field, but I missed it with the major general, what a pity. ”

Wei Shen said that it was okay, and said: "The friendship of gentlemen, it is as light as water, it is fate when you see it, you can't see it, and there is no need to ask for anything, besides, I have heard of Lord Fu's virtuous name many times here, even if I have never seen you, I feel that it seems that I have been friends with Master Fu for a long time." ”

To be honest, my impression of Wei Shen is actually quite good, not only because of the words that those villagers praised him, but also because he himself is also comfortable.

With Wei Ying's rigid and self-serving "sexual" personality, it is indeed not easy to raise such a good righteous son.

It can be seen that the senior brother also likes him a lot, and the two talked about speculation, and even left me aside, watching them enter the main hall to talk, I found an opportunity to sneak out.

I wanted to look for the ancestral hall, but I didn't know where the location was, the Wei family was born as a military general, and the palace was full of guards, but maids and servants were rare, I turned around for a long time, but I didn't find anyone who could show me the way, and then look at those guards, one by one, standing like a sculpture, I dare to come forward and talk to them, they can cut me down, and I don't want to provoke them.

Bypassed a few arches, but came to the backyard, and saw a little maid tiptoeing, picking a camellia in the courtyard, but unfortunately the height was not enough, and I didn't pick it after a few attempts.

I walked over and raised my hand to help her pick it off, she looked at me, and was about to take the camellia back, I turned around again, dodged her hand, looked at the camellia in my hand, and said, "This flower grows so well, what do you have to pick it off?" ”

"This flower is the girl's favorite, and she asks us to pick one every day and put it in the room." The little girl looked at the flower with her eyes blank, wanting but not daring to speak.

I thought about it, Wei Ying only had one son, but he died a long time ago, and I didn't hear of a daughter or anything, so the girl in the mouth of this maid should be Meng Fuling.

So, he took the flower and looked at it twice, and said, "Miss Meng is General Wei's concubine, it stands to reason that you should call her Mrs. or Auntie, why do you call her a girl?" ”

"The slave maid is the maid who comes in with the girl to marry, what is the name of the girl? Besides, when the general was away, the girl liked us to call her that. ”

As she spoke, she also began to look at me and asked, "I have never seen you in the General's Mansion, where are you a guest from?" ”

Seeing that the conversation was successful, I said: "I am a friend of your major general, and I have never been here before, so naturally you have never seen me." ”

"Lying."

Seeing that I had been refusing to give her the flowers, the little girl was anxious and said, "How can our young master have such a light friend as you." ”

I sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "I am kind enough to help you, but you say that I am light, so this flower ...... I won't give it to you. ”

"Childe ......"

Seeing that I turned around to leave, the little maid hurriedly stopped me and apologized: "It's the slave who blames you, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”

I stopped and handed her back the flowers, and listened to her again: "Childe, are you from Shengjing?" ”

"How do you know?"

"I heard that there will be two distinguished guests in the house today, one of them is an adult in the Hongwen Hall in Beijing, dressed in a scarlet robe, holding a jade flute, and looking very handsome......"

When she said this, she seemed to suddenly realize that she had said the wrong thing, her face was full of shyness, and she changed her words inaudibly: "I usually like to play pranks and play tricks on others......
