Cai Ji shouted loudly, and the first big man attracted was the biological mother of the eldest prince, the eldest lady of the city lord Feng Quyun, Jiang.
Jiang's is less than forty years old this year, but she is from a big family, she knows how to maintain, she looks like a young woman in her twenties, she has a fair melon seed face, wearing a red flower placket collared middle shirt, and the embroidered skirt with gold entwined branches mops the floor, and the whole person looks beautiful.
At this moment, Jiang's fair face lost its usual calmness, and tears couldn't stop pouring out of her beautiful apricot eyes. The departure of her young son not only deprived her of her future support, but also made her feel terrified. If the number one heir of the City Lord's Mansion can be stabbed to death in the palace, then she, the number one lady, may also fall into the water and drown in the palace.
"Tell me about the situation at that time, I must make the murderer pay. The eldest lady gritted her teeth, and at the same time was full of suspicion about Cai Ji.
"At that time, the eldest prince had just entered the house, and a figure suddenly stabbed him to death from behind. Cai Ji said sadly with tears on her face.
The eldest lady ordered Cai Ji to take care of her, and urgently recruited a few deacons. found that before the accident, Feng Danluo had just discussed matters with several deacons, and heard for the first time a representative young man of the Jiang family in Rudi, and made a note in his heart for this person.
The investigation was carried out in an orderly manner, and when it was dawn, the city lord and the second son also came to the scene of the incident.
"It is strictly forbidden to spread the news, and the real culprit will be found immediately. For the first time, the middle-aged city lord showed his decisive side, he was a little saddened by the loss of his child, and at the same time, he was helpless to the cruelty of the power struggle. As the brother of the Son of Heaven, he led the big city of Tianrui, and Feng Quyun also came out of the brothers to fight back then.
"Guiluo, you are responsible for supervising this matter. The city lord's eyes stared at his second son, as if he wanted to see the truth from the latter's face, but Feng Guiluo's expression was not the slightest abnormal.
"Yes father, this is what the son should be, and no one shall offend the dignity of our royal family. Feng Guiluo's expression was serious. "I think it's possible Cai Ji, and Jiang Shangyu and others. ”
Feng Guiluo glanced at the sad Jiang family, and then analyzed to the city lord: "Cai Ji is at the first scene, and Jiang Shangyu and the others seem to have some misunderstanding with the eldest brother. ”
"I don't listen to the analysis, you just give me the results. Feng Quyun waved his hand and pulled his wife to the inner house to comfort him.
Among the people present, only the second son, Feng Guiluo, was finally left. He couldn't contain his emotions and held his hands tightly. Looking at the eldest brother who fell to the ground, Feng Guiluo was silent for a long time, walked out of the scene of the incident, and issued an order at the same time. "You carefully interrogate Cai Ji, and I will personally investigate Jiang Shangyu's team. ”
Hirata and Jiang Shangyu and the others didn't know about the changes in the City Lord's Mansion, as soon as they received the compensation prepared by the eldest prince, they set off as soon as possible, the official road system in this world is very poor, if they don't set off earlier, they are likely to spend the night in the wilderness again.
The other samurai in the team quickly accepted Hirata's existence, and everyone didn't know Hirata, only thinking that he was another classmate of Jiang Shangyu. And Ning Yun and the others, who know Hirata, have been asked by Hirata not to make a noise, and there are very few ways in this world to get out of the blessed land and return to the world, which will definitely cause the eyes of the big family to blush and recourse.
Hirata did not find a similar spell in the information of the Qi family's blessed land. He himself had only encountered it once, that was when he had just come to this world, and he met the elder of the Jiang family in Rudi, who had used a mysterious spar at that time, and now in retrospect, it should be very precious.
"My lord, if the journey goes well, there are still three days to reach the national capital. Ning Yun walked up to Hirata and said respectfully. "Xingzhou is all plains, and it is very suitable for cars and horses to travel along the way. I've put together a carriage and horses, please move. ”
After thinking about it, Hirata nodded in agreement. "Then I'll get on the bike, it's a little uncomfortable to ride all the way, and you're still restrained. ”
Hirata had just gotten into the carriage, and a team of flying horsemen came galloping from the direction of Tianrui City, led by Feng Guiluo, the second son of the lord of Tianrui City.
When they got closer, Feng Guiluo made a salute to everyone on the horse, and shouted loudly: "Feng Guiluo is here to see everyone off, and I want to say a few words to Brother Jiang Shangyu in private." ”
Jiang, Qi and the others were all accompanying Pingtian's carriage and horses at the moment, and when they heard this, Jiang Shangyu asked for instructions in the carriage across the carriage: "Teacher, please instruct." ”
Hirata didn't know what the other party was going to say, so he returned: "Let him come to my car and say, and you and Qi and Yuan will come in and listen together." ”
After receiving instructions, Jiang Shangyu rode to Feng Guiluo: "My teacher arrived in Tianrui City last night, and he is currently in the team, if Brother Feng has something to say, let's listen to it together." ”
"That's fine. Then I will also go to visit Brother Jiang. Feng Guiluo thought about it and got off the horse.
The two walked outside Pingtian's car together, Pingtian said "enter", and said to Jiang Shangyu: "Call Qi Ming and Yuan Jie to come too." ”
Feng Guiluo unexpectedly found that the teacher in Jiang Shangyu's mouth was only two or three years older than everyone else, and he felt that this must be a strange person. But the other party wanted to call Qi Qi and Yuan, but he made it difficult for him, so he stopped him: "Master, what I want to say next is a bit secret, and I don't hope to spread it to the public." ”
Hirata laughed: "The three of them are in a crowd, you, me and Jiang Shangyu are already everyone, why bother with two more, Qi Ming and Yuan Jie are my disciples, you can come together." ”
Seeing that Hirata insisted, Feng Guiluo had no choice but to respond.
Qi and Yuan arrived soon, and after saluting, they also sat in the car, the carriage and horse space was not large, and several people were also a little crowded, and the three academy disciples sat next to each other.
After everyone was together, Hirata made a gesture and motioned for Feng Guiluo to start speaking.
"I won't hide it from everyone, my eldest brother was stabbed to death in the mansion this morning, and before his death, my eldest brother was still discussing with several deacons to compensate your team. Feng Guiluo said straight to the point.
Yuan Jie, who had an upright temperament, looked at Hirata and wanted to speak. Hirata gave him an affirmative look.
"What does Feng Gongzi mean, do you suspect that the murderer is us?" Yuan Jie's expression was a little angry.
Hirata was noncommittal, but looked at Feng Guiluo playfully.
"I know that the murderer is not you, in fact, I know that the murderer is the eldest brother Ai Ji, Cai Ji. Feng Guiluo opened his mouth and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, Cai Ji is my person." ”
Hirata took a glass of water from the table in front of him and took a sip of water. "The second son has something to say directly, since you have come here, there must be important things to discuss, if I have the ability, you can give it a try. ”
"Master, please read this letter. Feng Guiluo took out a letter and placed it on the table.
Hirata picked it up, looked at it quickly from front to back, solemnly sealed it, and put it back on the table. "You want us to be the Son of Heaven, and on what grounds are we going to see us?"
Feng Guiluo said: "The master already knows that the Jiang family has rebelled, and as a member of the Feng family, I naturally can't sit idly by." In fact, I have long known that the eldest brother was involved in this matter, but because of my weak ability, I didn't expect that last night, the master, you would be majestic and almost sweep away the eldest brother's power in Tianrui City, and my advance arrangement could succeed. ”
Feng Guiluo said again: "I have already thought of the reason, the eldest brother doesn't know why he compensated the master for so much of your property, and Brother Jiang is a branch of the Jiang family in Rudi." It is possible for Brother Jiang to break my eldest brother's letter and obtain hush money as an excuse to present it to the Son of Heaven. As soon as it is arranged, I will help you prepare in the national capital. ”
Hirata thought about it, meeting the Son of Heaven was originally in the plan, and if there was a letter and Feng Guiluo arrangement, it would naturally be better. "Why don't you send a letter to your father, why don't you meet the Son of Heaven yourself?"
"My father's indecision and my brother's involvement in the rebellion are still a stain on my father, and I can't pass on this news through my father. As for myself, it would be even more shameful if I was bound to expose my murder of my eldest brother when I met the Son of Heaven. "There are spells in this world, and ordinary people basically have nothing to hide in front of the mage.
"Okay, we'll take care of this, you go back and prepare. "Hirata Road.
Feng Guiluo immediately made a salute and retired, rode all the way back, and in the evening of the same day, the case of the assassination of the eldest prince of the city lord's mansion was also solved. After Cai Ji was controlled, in order to avoid humiliation, she committed suicide, and before she died, she also said that she had broken a public case in which the eldest prince Feng Danluo sought money and killed him.
The city lord, who learned the inside story, issued an internal order to unify the caliber of the eldest prince's sudden illness and death, and did not allow everyone in the palace to mention it again. Afterwards, only the eldest prince's mother, Jiang, wrote a letter and sent it to the national capital, asking the Jiang family to pay attention to a child of the Rudi branch named Jiang Shangyu.
This murder, which involved many people, finally disappeared in the blandness without causing a single wave.
