Chapter 83: The Tip of the Iceberg



Wei Changying sent Su Yu out of the door amicably, turned around and went straight to the study - at this time, Deng Zongqi had already said goodbye.

She couldn't wait to go in and ask her husband, but she was stopped by the guard at the door of the study, and said softly: "The valve owner just sent someone to invite Mr. Shangguan and others to discuss the matter, and told me not to disturb it." Please stay with the Queen! ”

"How did Xiangzhi say that it was a business matter?" Wei Changying felt a little strange, he hadn't heard any rumors of a big change in the situation recently.

But since Shen Zangfeng had something to do, she didn't dwell on it anymore, and went back to the back stupidly.

At this time, it was almost evening, Shen Shuxie and others came to ask for peace, Wei Changying saw that there was no eldest son, and knew that most of them were left in the study. She was worried about Deng Zongqi's intentions and the fact that she wanted to tell Shen Zangfeng about Su Yufei's place, so she had no intention of telling the juniors more, so she sent them away after asking for a while as usual.

But Shen Zangfeng and Shen Shuguang didn't come back for a long time, until the evening, Wei Changying couldn't hold back and couldn't sleep, and she didn't wait for her husband to come back.

The next morning, when she woke up, she found that she was still the only one in the tent, and she couldn't help but be surprised, so she called into Lianju and others to serve and freshen up, and asked, "Husband stayed in the study all night?" ”

"The Lord came back late yesterday." Lianju whispered, "But I didn't sleep long, and I left again early this morning." ”

Wei Changying frowned slightly: "Where did he go?" ”

"It seems to be going to the Taishi's Mansion."

The Taishi Mansion that Lian Ju said is, of course, the current Taishi Mansion, that is, Huo Zhaoyu's mansion.

Wei Changying thought to himself: "Could it be that the matter between the Deng and Zhou families is making a big fuss, and Xiangzhi came to find his husband in order to calm down the matter or help him overwhelm the Zhou family?" ”

She asked Lian Ju to "go outside and ask, how is the troublesome matter between the Deng family and the Zhou family?" ”

Lian Ju agreed, and handed over her messenger to Lian Mei for the time being, and went out to ask someone.

Half an hour later, when Wei Changying was about to finish breakfast, she brought a mother-in-law in and replied: "Mama Gu is the purchase of the kitchen, and when I went out today, I heard about the affairs of the Deng family and the Zhou family." ”

Wei Changying asked the Gu clan to talk about it in detail.

Na Gu said: "When the old slave was on the street, he listened to the humanitarian situation, and the Zhou family and the Deng family fought a few more times last night, and they won and lost each other. Later, Master Huo ordered people to surround the two mansions, and they were allowed to enter but not to leave, so they stopped. ”

"Nothing else? These two families are surrounded by Huo Jiayao like this? ”

Gu lowered his eyebrows and said, "It seems that there is no more." The Deng family has just buried Mrs. Deng, and Qiqi has not yet come out; On the Zhou family's side, the two funerals are not delayed now...... After all, it's still hot now, and the Zhou family doesn't have many people now, so it won't be a matter if they don't bury it all the time. So after being stopped by Master Huo, he stopped for the time being and started the affairs of his own house first...... It's hard to say what will happen in the future. ”

Wei Changying sighed, thinking that this was not a big deal, why did Deng Zongqi run over and follow Shen Zangfeng to find Huo Zhaoyu again?

Now on the side of the imperial capital, it is still Huo Zhaoyu who is in charge of the political situation, of course, this is on the scene, in fact, Huo Zhaoyu has to ask Shen Zangfeng about most things.

So it was not unusual for Huo Zhaoyu to come to Shen Zangfeng, and Shen Zangfeng took the initiative to find Huo Zhaoyu.

She didn't delay her suspicion for long, and in the afternoon of this day, Shen Zangfeng came back from the Taishi Mansion, didn't go to the study, and went directly to the back room to find her, and asked with a solemn expression: "Do you remember a maiden cousin of the former sister-in-law?" It's called Liu Ruoye. ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "Why did you suddenly ask about her?" Isn't this person long gone? ”

"In the early years, I also seemed to hear that their mother and daughter died violently together." Shen Zangfeng frowned and said, "But Xiangzhi suspects that his sister's death is related to this Liu Ruoye. He suspected that Liu Ruoye was not dead! ”

"But even if you're not dead, how can you have something to do with Wanwan?" Wei Chang is like falling into the fivefold clouds!

Shen Zangfeng said: "I'll tell you about this, you first describe the woman's appearance." Xiangzhi also asked from his sister's maid for a clue, but he didn't witness it with his own eyes. So I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Wei Changying frowned and said, "Where can you say it clearly?" I'll draw it for you! "After rolling up my sleeves, I felt a little weak, "I haven't started writing for several years, and I don't know if painting is like painting." ”

She drew Liu Ruoye's appearance according to her memory, Shen Zangfeng's eyes paused on the portrait, and said: "It's similar to the outline described by Xiangzhi yesterday, but the details are different." But after all these years, you still painted her when she was a girl...... It is appropriate to change. Go back and send this painting to Xiangyuki's side and ask him to confirm it! ”

Wei Changying was still suspicious: "Back then, Liu Ruoye designed for Shen Xun to bully my cousin Wei Changjuan, causing Changjuan to commit suicide in anger...... After that, the sixth uncle of my mother's family forced Huan Zong to abolish the prince, and after the abolition, the Gu family was angry, so he asked the Liu family to hand over Zhang Shaoguang and Liu Ruoye's mother and daughter...... And because of Liu Ruoyu's grudge with them, the three of them were not allowed to pinch each other in the courtyard outside the city...... Later, the royal family got tired of watching that one, so they let all three of them die violently? ”

"I went to Huo Jiayao just now and asked him to find the old man in the palace who had served the abolished Gu clan and Shen Xun for interrogation." Shen Zangfeng groaned, "Luck is not bad, I asked someone who knows some clues." said that after the abolition of the year, the Gu family allowed the mother and daughter of the Liu family to torture each other for a few days, and planned to send them on the road together. But Shen Xun coveted the posture of Zhang Shaoguang's mother and daughter, and stubbornly pestered the Gu family to hand over everyone to him for disposal...... In the end, Zhang Shaoguang was humiliated, and he was unwilling to be sent to Hengguo with his daughter, and became a plaything that Shen Xun couldn't see the light, and committed suicide by chewing his tongue! However, Liu Ruoyu and Liu Ruoye were still sent over......"

"And what about when you were ambushed later? No one mentioned them, did they? Wei Changying asked in surprise, "I remember that at that time, Shen Xun Fu was jointly done by several of our families, and even his children were not spared, and the concubines in the backyard ......" She suddenly frowned, as if she had thought of something.

Sure enough, Shen Zangfeng coughed dryly and said: "There are many concubines in his backyard, and there are many outstanding ones among them. Therefore, those who are not important are distributed among the soldiers. At that time, we didn't know that such a came out, and the major events at that time were one after another, so we didn't investigate them carefully. ”

"It is said that since this person has chosen a life to come back, even if Great Wei has already died in name. But my mother's family is still there, and she shouldn't dare to bend her head at will. Wei Changying couldn't figure it out, "She is now sloppy, and she is indirectly killing Wanwan, what does this mean?" I remember that I didn't have a grudge against her. ”

Shen Zangfeng nodded and said, "It's very strange, I have already asked Huo Jiayao to search in the city." However, according to the maid of Xiangzhi's sister, Xiangzhi's sister has not met her several times. The last time we met, it was a few days ago. If you look for it now, you may not be able to find it. ”

Wei Changying felt that this matter was getting more and more complicated: "Liu Ruoye has always been uneasy and kind! Could it be that she did this to provoke contradictions between Deng Zhou? But why Deng Zhou? And since Wanwan knows that she is not dead, why should she be controlled? ”

"I'm afraid I won't know until I'm caught." Shen Zangfeng muttered, "But I don't think it's related to any of the Donghu Liu clan's backers, it's just something to do with those in the south, right?" Heng Wang ...... The boundaries of Hengguo are now in the hands of Qu Wen! ”

"It seems that this matter will not be clear to anyone until it is caught." Wei Changying stretched out her hand and rubbed his face and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Shen Zangfeng tilted his head and kissed her palm, and said, "Another thing is that the army will be ready soon." ”

"It won't be our Xiliang Army, right?" Although Wei Changying didn't understand military strategy, he couldn't help but ask.

Shen Zangfeng snorted, "How is it possible? Even Huo Jiayao has to give people grain and grass. ”

"In that case, who is in charge?" Wei Changying leaned into his arms and asked, "Is that you?" ”

“…… I guess so. Shen Zangfeng sensed that his wife was unwilling to separate, but after thinking about it, he still sighed and said.

Wei Changying said resentfully: "Alas, I know...... If it weren't for you, why would you tell me that the army would not be ready soon? ”

"It won't be long before I'll be back." Shen Zangfeng coaxed: "Won't we be together again at that time?" ”

"The Rong people are so fierce, and they also occupy Yanzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now they are like a nail driven into the Central Plains." Wei Changying said abruptly, "But hopefully, it won't take long, right...... When to go? ”

Shen Zangfeng moaned his nose, a little embarrassed: "Two or three days!" ”

"So fast?!" Wei Changying was stunned!

“…… A few days ago, the envoy from Panzhou came to discuss. Shen Zangfeng hurriedly explained, "I originally wanted to tell you in two days, so as not to make you unhappy." But now that something has happened again, I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry at that time, so it's better to talk about it first. ”

Wei Changying pinched him hatefully, and then said: "Then I have something to tell you - when Xiangzhi talked to you in the study yesterday, Yu Fei came!" ”

"I heard when I came in just now, is there something wrong with her coming?" Shen Zangfeng lowered his head and kissed her sideburns, and asked with a smile.

Wei Changying frowned and said: "Ming'er was poisoned by the people next to the Duanmu family, and his cousin Duanmu Huitong sacrificed himself to save him!" As a result, Duanmu Huitong himself was almost killed by the pit...... Yu Fei is now moved with murderous thoughts in her heart, and she hopes that we can eradicate Duanmu Pingzhong for her! ”

Shen Zangfeng groaned: "Duanmu Pingzhong? is the one who gave the righteous daughter to Wen Yanzi, even if there is no such thing, I plan to kill him in the next two days. ”

"That's for the best." Wei Changying nodded, "I originally thought it was inconvenient for you, so I will arrange this matter." ”

"Your manpower losses are too great, if this kind of thing is a problem to leave a handle, it's better not to do it rashly." Shen Zangfeng disagreed, "If you talk about this kind of killing, I'll do it, you don't need to touch your hands as a Fu Daoist family." ”

Wei Changying snorted: "My cousin entrusted it, that's the backyard!" ”

"By the way, you can pack it up now." Shen Zangfeng suddenly thought of something and told her, "Before I leave, send you and the children to the place where the rear army is stationed for a while!" I don't worry that when I'm not there, you will live alone in this imperial capital with your children! ”!。
