Eleven Niang thought for a while before she understood the meaning of this.

The emperor began to release the rumors of dissatisfaction with the Ou family from a cup of tea from the imperial concubine, and reached a peak when King Xuanwang Jiubao entered Beijing. And Ouyang Ming, who has been staying by the emperor's eldest son's side, is the emperor's minister left to the emperor's eldest son. In this way, since the death of the fifth son of the emperor, the emperor has begun to lay out.

I just don't know what the emperor's arrangements are for the Xu family?

Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand why Xu Lingyi wants to show weakness in everything.

I hope that through this child's incident, the emperor can re-evaluate the Xu family, find the people who hinder the Ou family, and let the Xu family retreat from the cusp. She doesn't have to worry about these messes anymore, and she can live a peaceful life for two days.

Sighing in her heart, she asked about Wang Lang: "Master Hou, who is the murderer?" ”

Eleven Niang felt that there was a problem with this.

Xu Lingyi didn't need to avoid anything to himself, but his language was very concise when he narrated Wang Lang's death - only people who wanted to cover up something would speak like this. Because only the simplest is the most flawless.

Xu Lingyi knew that his little wife was an extremely smart person. He didn't mean to hide it, but there were some things he didn't want to say in front of Mrs. Tai, which made Eleven Niang lose face.

"Wang Lang died in the small building." He stared at Eleven Niang and said bluntly, "The perpetrator is probably Ren Kun." ”

Eleven Niang jumped up.

She should have thought of it a long time ago. What is Suncheonfu? In charge of security in Yanjing. No one knows better than them who can reprimand and who must be careful. Rushing to report to Xu Lingyi will definitely not be so simple.

No wonder Xu Lingyi was so vague at the time.

If Mrs. Tai knew that Wang Lang died in the small building, the murderer was Ren Kun, and she would always look bad on her face.

On the one hand, he is the only son of the emperor's most respected sister, and on the other hand, he is the son of the Maoguo Mansion who is the brother-in-law of the queen's maiden family although he has lost power. At this moment, Shuntianfu Yin is afraid that he can't sleep, right?

"What do you mean that the perpetrator is estimated to be Ren Kun?"

Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang and smiled bitterly: "Listen to what Shuntianfu Yin said." Wang Lang and a few friends had a little bit of wine in the small building the day before, and they drank a little too much, so they stayed there. At the end of the day, after lunch, he was about to leave, when Ren Kun came. When he saw the little man serving Wang Lang, he nodded with a smile and offered to say a few words to Wang Lang alone.

Wang Lang smiled disappreciatively and said, what else can't be said between us?

As a result, Ren Kun's face turned pale when he heard this. First kicked the little guy out, then turned around and 'snapped' the door shut.

At first, only low voices were heard in the room, but after a while, Wang Lang began to shout and curse.

Because Wang Lang and Ren Kun's little servants were guarding outside the house, the * man did not dare to approach.

At the beginning of the unitary period, the * Gong saw that it was not too early, so he prepared wine and food.

Who knew that the little guy who used to stand in the middle of the courtyard was gone. The door opened, Wang Lang was lying on the ground covered in blood, and a small servant of the Ren family sat on the embroidered pier with a bloodstained dagger in his hand.

When he saw the *gong, he stood up slowly. said, Wang Lang did not repay the money owed to our son-in-law, and my son-in-law came to collect debts, but he did not pay it back, and he also made humiliating words. Gongzi left angrily, and he argued with Wang Lang out of righteous indignation. Wang Lang was annoyed and scolded him, and he killed someone by mistake in the chaos. This matter has nothing to do with my son-in-law. I'll go with you to Shuntianfu Yin to surrender. ”

Eleven Niang was dumbfounded.

When Wang Lang insulted the son who gave the matter, he said that others did not repay their debts. Now he is being killed, using the excuse of "not paying his debts". Is there a god in the underworld?

* The public reported the crime in horror. The little guy was there waiting for the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin to come. Xu Lingyi said helplessly, "I didn't even hit the board, I confessed everything." even issued an IOU for Wang Lang to borrow money from Ren Kun. ”

"What about the little guys who went with Wang Lang?"

said that on weekdays, Wang Lang and Ren Kun often play together. Hearing Wang Lang insulting Ren Kun, he was a little uncomfortable. Ren Kun's personal servant invited them to the courtyard next to him to drink. And they followed. When he heard that there was a murder case, he knew that Wang Lang had an accident when Shuntianfu came to arrest someone.

also asked the little guy next to Ren Kun. said that Wang Lang's scolding was unbearable, and for the sake of their son-in-law's face, he sent the Wang family's servant to the side of the courtyard to drink.

Shuntianfu also asked the people in the small building. Someone saw Ren Kun leaving. The time is between the end of Shen and the beginning of You. Light fur and slow belt, I can't see anything unusual. ”

"The only thing worth suspecting is the perpetrator - he is Ren Kun's little servant. Even if so, it can only be doubted! ”

Xu Lingyi hesitated: "It's not all." Suncheon Mansion Yin Chacha that dagger. Since it is a temporary idea, and you kill someone by mistake, it is normal to smash it with a stool or throw it at a vase. With a dagger, it's a little uncommon. What's more, Wang Lang was stabbed thirty-seven times. Twenty-one of them were stabbed in vital places. It's a bit puzzling to say that it was a miss. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but touch her forehead.

"If it weren't for these knife wounds, there would really be no flaws in the little guy's words." Xu Lingyi pondered, "When the Shuntian Mansion reported to me, he also sent someone to the Maoguo Mansion to report the news. After all, we are not bitter masters, and some things are not easy to get ahead. It can only depend on what the Wang family means! ”

Xu Lingyi has never been waiting to see Wang Lang, but now listening to this tone, he has some intention of standing up for Wang Lang. Although I don't know why he changed his mind, in Shi Niang's opinion, it is not a pity for people like Wang Lang to die. It's not worth anyone to cry out for him. If Shuntian Mansion Yin can find the murderer, it is Wang Lang's luck. If the murderer can't be found, it's also his retribution.

"Master Hou, the concubine is just worried about the tenth sister now." She hinted to Xu Lingyi, "The tenth sister married for a short time, and she didn't leave a son and a half daughter for the tenth brother-in-law." Now the tenth brother-in-law has died again. I don't know what plans and arrangements the Wang family has for the tenth sister? ”

Xu Lingyi is willing to come forward, all because of Eleven Niang.

Since she is his wife, he will definitely do his best to help if he can help. It's just that this is no different than other things, involving the family ancestral hall, how can he interfere with a foreign surname.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xu Lingyi's face: "After all, we are brothers-in-law...... I am afraid that I will have to entrust the revitalization of specific things. If you need anything, I'll help you talk about it. ”

Eleven Niang doesn't know. Besides, she didn't mean it at all. Hearing Xu Lingyi say this, he immediately said, "I want to go back to my mother's house." Report a letter to the eldest brother and discuss how to act! ”

Shi Niang was Gao Pan who married into the Wang family, and it is hard to say what the people of the Wang family think. Someone from the Luo family went to see Shi Niang, and even if the people of the Wang family didn't like Shi Niang, they had to weigh it in their hearts.

"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Lingyi said, "I sent someone to report the revitalization when I came out of Shuntian Mansion. He should have known by this time. ”

Shi Niang put her mind at ease, seeing that she only cared about talking to Xu Lingyi and forgot to heat water for him, she got up and added hot water to the footbath.

Xu Lingyi instructed her: "There is no explanation for Wang Lang's case for the time being. I'm afraid I still have a brain to hurt. Don't say anything just yet. So as not to have a lot of people, it will make people think that our Xu family is playing right and wrong. ”

Eleven Niang nodded: "Don't worry, Hou Ye." I won't say a word about it. ”

The two discussed the matter of going to Wang's house for condolences before resting.

The next morning, everyone sighed about Wang Lang's matter, and it was calm.

At noon, Luo Zhenxing came.

He looked a little tired and talked with Xu Lingyi in the inner study.

"I heard that the emperor announced that Wang Jiubao entered Beijing to discuss the opening of the sea ban. It is not a good thing for Hou Ye to leave at this time. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded secretly.

Luo Zhenxing is a person who understands.

"If only you could think like that." He laughed, "I'm afraid you'll get involved?" Speaking of which, he thought for a moment and said, "This matter involves a lot of personnel in Fujian, and your father-in-law has to watch more." lest anyone instigate it. ”

Luo Zhenxing was stunned.

He hadn't thought of this stubble yet.

After all, this is the matter of the elders, and Xu Lingyi doesn't have much to say. Point to point. immediately changed the topic: "I see that you are tired, but what is the embarrassment on the Wang family's side?" ”

"I went to see the tenth sister early this morning." Luo Zhenxing came here for the Wang family's affairs, and now that Xu Lingyi has been dismissed, and he doesn't want to talk more about the affairs of the court, he naturally won't burn the piano and cook the crane, so he has to discuss these with Xu Lingyi. He replied to Xu Lingyi's words, "I saw Mrs. Jiang." One of the stewards beside Madame Jiang had just returned from Shuncheon Mansion. Listening to that tone, the death of the tenth brother-in-law is quite strange. Mrs. Jiang has sent someone to Taiyuan to ask Master Jiang to send a master who is familiar with the name of the punishment. also asked me to bring a message to Hou Ye. Can you arrange to meet with the eleventh sister? As he spoke, he looked at Xu Lingyi with hesitation.

You must know that this involves Princess Changning.

Shi Niang is a sister, not to mention that Eleven Niang is not a sister. For the sake of Shi Niang to make Shi Niang embarrassed, he couldn't bear it. What's more, Wang Lang also misbehaved, which made Shi Niang suffer a lot. But considering Shi Niang's situation now, if the mother's family doesn't speak at all, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Wang family in the future.

Xu Lingyi didn't hesitate: "Then you discuss with Eleven Niang to see when it is appropriate." Invite Mrs. Jiang to sit at home. ”

Ren Kun is very familiar with him.

Chang Ning also has a good relationship with him.

When the emperor arrived, Princess Changning often went to visit the door.

Now the people of the Wang family want to see him, most of them want to come to find out his tone. He also wanted to know what the Wang family had planned. If you can be a "peacemaker", it is better than the two families going to court and being treated as a joke by the people of Man Yanjing - the relationship between Wang Lang and Ren Kun is not so glorious after all.

Seeing that he agreed so simply, Luo Zhenxing became a little uneasy: "Otherwise, I'll find out what Mrs. Jiang means first." If it's too difficult, let Eleven Niang go back. said that Hou Ye was in a bad mood during this time and closed his door. I think Mrs. Jiang can understand. ”

"Let's see each other!" If Mrs. Jiang asks too much, Xu Lingyi believes that Eleven Niang will consider it.
