Xie Wan has left all his affairs these days, and is busy contacting the ladies of various families in Beijing, hoping to find out some news from their conversations. But apparently the time has passed too long, and the object of her relationship has always been a female dependent who is not too different in age, these people were born forty years ago, and they are still ignorant children, and it sounds not as simple as imagined.

But she tried to listen.

She had a strong premonition that there must be a huge secret hidden in this sick and dead child, and judging from the fact that Mr. Seven was able to lay out such a big game, his identity may be related to this secret, as well as his motive for rebellion, and he may be able to find the answer from it.

Her frequent visits have also attracted the attention of some people.

First of all, Wei Xian, he caught Xie Wan in the mansion for a moment and came to the door. "Now that it's so messy outside, can't you stay in the palace properly, don't walk around?" He is now also watching politics in the Ministry of Officials, and since he joined the office, he has spoken a little more old-fashioned. Because of Wei Bin, he is also very concerned about the chaos of the party.

Xie Wan said: "If you are really worried about me, you might as well help me do something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You can also help me inquire among the magnates of the Jingshi, and see if there was a boy about three years old who died in his family for no reason forty-four years ago. It would be better if the cause of death could be informed. In addition, if you go to the military department to inquire, who were the generals who were ordered to guard the mausoleum of Prince Hui'an more than 40 years ago? ”

"More than forty years ago?" Wei Xian almost didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth, "What are you doing inquiring about such a long time?" And that Prince Hui'an, why haven't I heard of it? ”

Because the matter was confidential, Xie Wan and Yin Yu did not disclose this matter for the time being. But the Wei family can be trusted. More than forty years ago, Wei Bin had not yet entered the ranks, and he was just a person who had just married the eldest lady of the Hejian Wang clan. The Wei family does not have any of these conditions.

"Of course, it's useful for you to inquire. Or do you think I'm idle? Xie Wan said, "It's only fitting for you to do this, you often spend time outside drinking." No one cares what you ask. On the contrary, Yin Yu was too dazzling, as soon as he spoke. Others are already on guard, and even if they know, they may not say it.

"What's the wine?" Wei Xian muttered: "People are obviously chanting poems and painting in the book club, and they are doing serious things!" ”

Xie Wan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, even if I wronged you, it's important that you hurry up and help me do this!" ”

"Okay!"

Wei Xian got up and went out.

After dealing with him, it was the Duchess of Lu Guo who began to ask, and now that the situation is so chaotic, Lu Guogong is also tense in the Wucheng camp every day. made her heart beat with shock, begging the Buddha to worship the Bodhisattva every day, and begging Mr. Seven to be caught soon.

So I heard that Xie Wan had been uncharacteristically busy socializing recently, so he couldn't help but go to the palace and ask, "Nothing happened, right?" ”

Xie Wan smiled and comforted: "It's okay, haven't you seen me jumping around every day, if something happens, can I be so happy?" ”

Duchess Lu Guo relieved herself and picked up the tea.

Xie Wan was about to inquire with her, and after thinking about it, he asked, "I take the liberty to ask Mrs., I don't know how expensive Mrs. is this year?" ”

Duchess Lu Guo smiled: "I made a full fifty the year before last." That's fifty-two. ”

Xie Wanmo calculated, forty-four years ago, she was only eight years old. An eight-year-old girl. It's impossible to know these things out there. So he stopped talking and invited the Duchess of Lu Guo to taste the melons and fruits.

After sending off the Duchess of Lu Guo, Xie Wan was ready to go out to Rong Enbo's mansion, the old Mrs. Rong Enbo was more than sixty years old this year, and she was already one or twenty years old when Prince Hui'an died, so maybe she would know something.

Unexpectedly, when I got out of Xuanwu Street, I met the chariot of Dou Mansion in front. It turned out that Mrs. Dou went out.

Mrs. Dou rarely goes out these days, and several times Xie Wan wanted to visit the house, but she was dispelled because she heard that she was unwell. When I met on the road today, I naturally wanted to stop the sedan car and say hello.

Summoned the summer solstice past.

Mrs. Dou came back from her mother's house. My mother-in-law is almost eighty years old. She hadn't been back for two months, and today I heard that she had an old illness. I really couldn't help but go out. was pondering in the sedan chair, and suddenly felt that the sedan chair stopped, and the maid under the sedan chair said: "Madam, Princess Anmu is ahead, and the summer solstice girl has come to invite Mrs. to meet in the past." ”

Hearing the words of Princess An Mu, Mrs. Dou's heart tightened inexplicably, and her breathing became a little uneven.

"Ma'am?"

The maid didn't hear a reply, so Xia Zhi called softly again.

Mrs. Dou exhaled slowly, opened the sedan curtain, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence that I met your princess here." ”

Xia Zhi said with a smile: "The princess said that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she missed her very much, and asked her to move around and talk." ”

Mrs. Dou nodded and followed her to Xie Wan's chariot. Xie Wan got up with a smile, "Our prince said that I am lucky to always meet nobles." Didn't you just let him talk? He invited her to sit down.

Mrs. Dou said, "Where are you going?" ”

Xie Wan said: "Earlier, I heard that the old lady of Rong Enbo Mansion has an ancient vessel, which is used to make tea, which is very rare, I am idle, and I will see the world in the past." ”

When Mrs. Dou heard this, her smile suddenly became a little meaningful: "In the past few days, you have liked to talk to the older generation very much. ”

Xie Wan said: "I also spent a lot in the harem, and I found that I can learn a lot by talking to the older generation." After seeing her face like this, I couldn't help but say: "I see that Madame's face is not very good, is there any discomfort recently?" Do you need to send Hu Qin over to ask for a pulse? ”

"No!" Mrs. Dou raised her head suddenly, and then laughed, "I'm fine, it's just because I just came back from my mother's house, and my old mother's health is not very good, so I have a little worry." Nothing happened to him. If something happens, I can't trouble you first? ”

Xie Wan heard her say this, so he just left. The elders of the pavilion have the right to ask for Imperial Doctor Xuan, and she just said it casually.

Seeing that she was not very interested, she also said: "I still have to go to the Rongenbo Mansion, and I will visit the Mansion another day." ”

Mrs. Dou stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

Xie Wan looked at her back for a while before letting people drive forward again.

When she returned to the house in the evening, she called Sun Shiqian.

"Are you familiar with the Dou family?"

Sun Shiqian was originally a eunuch in the East Palace, and when he reached such an age, he was put on the prince's grandson's mansion as the head of the palace according to the law.

Sure enough, Sun Shiqian was slightly stunned and replied, "I know some." The Dou family was also a family that followed Emperor Taizu to raise troops, but the status was not high at that time, and it was not until three generations ago that it gradually prospered, Dou Ge's old great-grandfather was an official to the military department, and his grandfather was an official to the governor, and his father Dou Zhun was very stubborn when he was a child, but because he had a small friendship with today's protector, he later went to the army, and went to the East China Sea with him to meet the enemy, and finally died. ”

Xie Wan nodded, picked up the tea and said: "But strictly speaking, General Dou is not completely martyred, and it is not clear how he died, isn't it?" What speculations have you heard? ”

Sun Shiqian was silent and said, "Some people speculate that it was Dongying's assassination, and some people say that he died of assassination by his subordinates. But there has been no unanimous statement. This case looks like it is destined to become a headless public case. ”

Dou Zhun has made a lot of contributions in the East China Sea, so the emperor has taken a lot of care of the Dou family over the years, and Dou Jin himself will be a man, plus he was engaged to the Wenxi Mansion not long ago, and the brightness of the lintel of the Dou family is no less than Wei Bin.

Xie Wan held a pen and swung it around in his hand.

Sun Shiqian said: "Is the princess suspicious of something? ”

Clever. Xie Wan put down the pen, but said first: "You talk about the matter of the Dou family now." ”

Sun Shiqian muttered: "The Dou family has four brothers, Dou Jin is the eldest, the second is the same in the northwest, the third died young, and now the fourth master fell into the water when he was a child. He was taken care of by Dou Jin and his wife, and he had a very close relationship with Dou Jin and his wife. ”

Xie Wan already knew almost everything about Dou Xun.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm wondering, will Mr. Seven be from the Dou family?" ”

Sun Shi raised his head humbly, Dou family, is this possible? Dou is strict in his duties and never participates in party and government disputes, how can they rebel?

Xie Wan saw his expression and said helplessly: "I also know that it is impossible, but I just boldly speculate." First of all, we know that Mr. Seven is a sick scholar, and he is about thirty years old, Dou Jin does not meet, but the fourth master of the Dou family is very consistent.

"In addition, the Dou family has been court officials for generations, and in recent generations it has been in the limelight, Dou Jin was in Dali Temple at the time, maybe he was not Mr. Seven, but he had the opportunity to accurately convey the direction of the stroke to Dou Xun, Guo Feng's death case that year, and later the case of the prince being proved to kill Xie Qi, he has the greatest advantage to dominate the situation."

In fact, she has checked and checked recently, and the shadow of the Dou family has appeared several times, but she still has not seriously analyzed it, until today, she met Mrs. Dou, Mrs. Dou has been closed recently, and her haggard reticent may be a coincidence, but it still makes her think to study it deeply.

"What does the princess mean is that the fourth master of the Dou family, Dou Xun, is Mr. Seven?"

Sun Shiqian, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be surprised.

"Isn't it like?" Xie Wan frowned and said, "The Dou family is the most qualified family, I have no reason not to think so." As for their motives, can't General Dou's vain death be counted? You don't dare to say it, but I have heard it a long time ago, and many people are also rumoring in private that General Dou died at the hands of the protector. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, in the hearts of the Dou family, it will be like a thorn. ”

"However, the relationship between the Dou family and the Protector Mansion has been very good over the years." Sun Shiqian's face was solemn, "Moreover, Dou Xun is not Dou Zhun's biological son, how can he cross Dou Jin to seek revenge for Dou Zhun?" ”

Xie Wan was stunned. (To be continued) (Big makeup...) /0/783/)--
