"Originally, I didn't think it was necessary to tell Madame, but thinking about it, Madame was afraid that she would not cry when she saw the coffin, so it was better to explain it. Copy this address to browse****************************************" Xie Wan spoke softly, moistened his throat with tea, and said: "The Yuanqing Zen Master of Donghua Temple came to me a few days ago, saying that there was a clue about the magnolia tree we were looking for before.

"After some investigation, we found two cut magnolia trees in a courtyard in Camellia Hutong, which are the only fish that have slipped through the net in the whole Beijing Division, and the origin of these two trees does not need to be said.

"Later, my people found a few things in that courtyard, the same is this neglected peace charm pasted on the cupboard, and the same is the same as a skeleton buried in the ground when I removed the two trees and returned to Donghua Temple the day before yesterday.

"This corpse has been buried for twelve or thirteen years, judging from the clothes and burials that have not yet decayed, it seems that it is the orphan girl that Dou Siye took a fancy to in Donghua Temple. There is also a jade pei hanging from the neck of the corpse, and the word 'Lan' is engraved on it in seal script. This character is exactly the same as the seal we found in the canal back then, and I guess this 'Lan' should be the name of this orphan girl. ”

As she spoke, she took a small wooden box from Xia Zhi's hand, opened it and pushed it in front of Mrs. Dou.

The jade inside is still verdant, and the word Lan is even more clear and discerning.

Mrs. Dou's face was snow-white, and she looked at the jade pei for a long time, she suddenly stood up and hurriedly walked out: "Go and invite the master-"

Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang blocked the door one left and one right, and the sword blade that shone with cold light came from afar.

"It's late, Mrs. Dou." Xie Wan sat in place and drank tea leisurely, "Dou Ge is in the back garden, and there is also our prince there." ”

Madame Dou turned sharply, and the steps on her bun struck her forehead and face. With her pale complexion and wide-open eyes, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

"When did you find out?" She asked, holding back the tremors she was trembling through.

"To say skeptical. That was there a long time ago. Xie Wan said, "It's about you marrying Yin Yao." It was done seamlessly. I can't think of a flaw, but it's just because it's too coincidental, it's too smooth, and it always makes me feel wrong. Later, I met you on the way, and you judged two people in a few days, which also made me suspicious.

"I secretly sent people to inquire around the Dou Mansion to see if Dou Xun had 'appeared' in the Mansion recently, but the result was no."

"At that time, I hadn't officially thought about the relationship between the Dou family and Mr. Seven. Even if you have a fourth master Dou who is also a scribe, and even if the cause of death of Old Man Dou is unknown, but because we are too familiar, I don't believe that Dou Jin will be able to do it without leaking a drop when we meet our prince almost every day, because we believe too much that he is the best soldier king and makes trouble. So I didn't look it up at this time.

"Until Sun Shiqian told me that Dou Xun and you are not biological brothers.

"Although it seems that they are not biological brothers, it is a bit far-fetched to take revenge in this way. But since it's not a biological brother, it means that there is a story here. I became suspicious, and I originally planned to enter the palace to find out the truth, but then I was disturbed by the affairs of the palace. I haven't been able to make the trip. It wasn't until the night of the hunt for Mr. Seven that I decided to take the plunge and try it boldly.

As a result, I tried to show some signs again.

"When Qin Fang was ordered to search several official households, including Dou Mansion. Mr. Seven suddenly took the initiative to appear, he scratched his face, naturally to hide his identity, and he 'revealed' his face, so naturally there was no need to check door to door. I can't afford to think about all of this anymore. So, a few days ago, I asked people to go south to Guangxi to check the truth and falsehood."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Dou and ate a preserved apricot on the table. "Guess what they found?"

Mrs. Dou stood in the middle of the room. Although the silver silk charcoal in the large copper lavender cage in the house was burning vigorously, it was constantly sending hot air everywhere. But her body was trembling.

She never thought that Xie Wan would come to expose their old bottom today, and she waited for them not to reveal her bottom line. It was news from the northwest, the moment when Dou Jin successfully entered the imperial city!

Xie Wan in front of her was confident and calm, just like sitting in the small flower hall of King Anmu and eating melons and fruits, while she, the master, was surrounded by her people in the house.

"How did you know our address in Guangxi? The Dou family has been out for several generations, and the people from their ancestral homes have also moved several times, how do you know? ”

She asked, swallowing her saliva.

"They have really moved in the past ten years, right?" Xie Wan stared at her, "You also underestimate the strength of the people in our palace." Because of your deliberate persecution, our prince was able to escape under the emperor's nose, and he was exiled for nearly two years, and he was able to solve the big case of Cao Yun and greedy ink, all of which relied on luck. Look at them—"

She pointed to Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang who were standing outside the door: "There are twelve of them, each of them is proficient in at least one stunt in addition to basic martial arts and adaptability, some are good at hidden weapons, some are good at firearms, some are good at poisoning 'medicine', and some are good at disguise, there are so many people around, I want to inquire about an address, isn't it just a matter of time?" ”

Liao Zhuo and the others raised their lips and looked at Mrs. Dou.

Mrs. Dou finally sat down on the brocade and looked at Xie Wan in a daze. "What did they find?"

Xie Wan lowered his eyes and threw the dried apricots in his hand back on the plate, wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, and asked, "Tell me first, what is the relationship between Dou Xun and Dou Jin?" ”

Madame Dou pursed her lips and stared at the Persian velvet blanket at her feet.

In the lake in the back garden, the families have stopped digging ice, and in the morning, several ice holes of different sizes have been dug out of the lake covering an acre of land, and the residual ice is floating on the water surface or stacked on the ice, mixed with some messy footprints, which looks a little dirty and messy.

The tea in the water pavilion is fragrant, and there is no tension in the main courtyard at all.

Dou Jin smiled and said: "In the past, I often heard people mention that the prince is both civil and military, and today I opened the eyes of the old man, thinking that my Dou family was also born with Emperor Taizu's martial arts, and then these two generations gradually developed on the road to the imperial examination. ”

"The elder is too prestigious." Yin Yu is still leisurely, "I'm just talking on paper, if you talk about actual tactics, how can you compare to you, who was born in a family?" ”

Dou Jin said: "The prince is modest. "I poured him a seven-point full cup of tea.

Yin Yu swept his eyes and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window, and said: "I remember that the Protector once told me that the Dou family also lived in the Qinghua Fang, where the Huo family is located, but since I can remember, you have lived here, and it has been many years since you moved here, right?" ”

Dou Jin's hand holding the pot paused slightly, and he raised his head to the latest chapter of the amphibious special forces.

Xie Wan stared at the red plum tree outside the window for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and said, "You say, Dou Xun is Dou Zhun's nephew?" ”

It's incredible.

Dou Jin has only two younger brothers, Sun Shiqian said, the third child died when he was more than ten years old, and the second brother Dou Fang is now in the northwest as a Tongzhi. Whose son is Dou Xun? - No, it's impossible, Dou Xun is almost thirty, Dou Jin is the boss of the Dou family, and he is over forty-two or three this year, even he doesn't have such a big son, how can Dou Fang have it?

Take 10,000 steps back, if it is really a nephew, then why do you want to hide your life experience regardless of your generation?

"Don't you have so many capable men? Why, I didn't inquire about this? ”

Mrs. Dou said slowly. Then, she sighed again, and then opened her mouth: "However, no matter how powerful you are in this matter, if we don't talk about it, you still can't find out." ”

Xie Wan stared at her.

She suddenly smiled and said again: "Our old lady originally had an original wife. Have you heard of it? ”

Sun Shiqian said that Dou Zhun had two wives successively, but he died early, and only later did he continue to marry the old lady later.

Meta matching?

Xie Wan's heart moved, could it be-

"You're so good at using your brains, you seem to have guessed it." Mrs. Dou smiled indifferently at the corner of her lips, glanced at her, and then looked ahead: "The old lady's surname is Xu, and she is now more than sixty years old. You should have heard of the Xu family in Huizhou, she is a member of the Xu family in Huizhou. ”

Xie Wan knew that the Xu family in Huizhou was still a matter of his previous life. In his previous life, when Xie Lang first entered the officialdom, his immediate boss was Xu Zhengqiu, a side branch of the Xu family. The Xu family originally made a fortune by opening a pen and ink shop, and there have always been people in the family who have become officials.

But although there are people in the Xu family who are officials in Beijing, there are fewer officials in these generations of descendants.

"Aren't you very strange, why is there almost no one in the Xu family who has been an official in the court for several generations?" Mrs. Dou seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and she could mention this.

"Why?" Xie Wan looked at her, "Could this have something to do with Dou Xun's body?" She instinctively felt that there was a relationship, but for a while, she really couldn't get in touch quickly.

"Of course it does." Mrs. Dou's voice smacked, "Because Mrs. Xu was the aunt of the Xu family back then, and the withdrawal of the Xu family from the Beijing division also had a lot to do with the marriage between Mrs. Xu and our old lady. Dou Xun is the son of Mrs. Xu, the son of Dou Chen, the real master of our Dou family! ”

Xie Wan was stunned.

Dou Zhun's Yuan mate also gave birth to a son? Why doesn't even Sun Shiqian know, and so many people in the capital don't know? Also, if Dou Xun is the son of the eldest master of the Dou family and the eldest grandson of Dou Zhun, why do you want to falsely claim to be an adopted son?

"What's going on here?" She asked.

Mrs. Dou looked at her and laughed, "Do you really want to know?" There's a big secret hidden here. However, you are here to have a showdown with us today, and if I don't say it, you will die, so why should you tell you? ”

Xie Wan's brows froze, "If you don't say it, can't I go to the Xu family and ask?" ”

"It's useless for you to ask." Mrs. Dou looked at her with burning eyes, "Because as long as the Yin family still sits on this throne, the Xu family will not tell this secret even if they bite off the root of their tongue." ”

Xie Wan's lips instantly tightened. q
