Chapter 404: Assorted Golden Rice (6)
"On the second day of the first month of the first month, Zhao Gongzi and Miss Zhao were called by Zhao to visit relatives with Mrs. Zhao on his behalf. Mrs. Zhao was not worried that he would stay in Chang'an alone, so she stayed to take care of Mr. Zhao, and the couple spent the year in Chang'an. Bai Zhu answered and said.
Liu Yuan sighed, followed Bai Zhu's words, and continued: "Because there are only two old servants in the same family, this year is very simple, and nothing happens. Lord Zhao was really bored, so he came out to drink tea. ”
Hearing this, Lin Fei raised his head suddenly: "When is it?" ”
Liu Yuandao: "From the third day of the first month to the ...... Yesterday, it was the day to send Lao Yuan, and after sending off Lao Yuan, I also went to drink tea, and none of them fell. ”
This is the contradiction: since Zhao Mengzhuo has an old illness in his body, he is sore when he moves, why doesn't he keep it at home, but keeps running out and drinking tea? If he can run, why let a pair of children visit relatives on his behalf?
Of course, this may be an excuse not to visit relatives, but according to Mrs. Zhao and the old servants in the family, the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and his relatives is very good, and he has not visited relatives in previous years, all of which are contrary to Zhao Mengzhuo's "old illness does not want to move".
"Of course, it may also be that Lord Zhao is lazy for a while and doesn't want to go out of the city." Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan still found a far-fetched explanation for this, but they also explained it, but when they asked Zhao Mengzhuo about the trend of drinking tea, it was really impossible to ignore the strangeness in it.
"Lord Zhao has been drinking tea from the third day of the first month to yesterday, and the place to drink tea has been selected as the Star Picking Tower." Bai Zhu said, "And it's still the top floor where I went." Because the venue was not chartered, many tea customers saw Mr. Zhao drinking tea there alone in the past few days, and the position he was sitting on was next to the desk at the time of the accident that day. ”
Lin Fei let out a "hmm", frowned slightly, and asked, "What is Lord Zhao doing there drinking tea alone?" ”
That's all they have to say! The two glanced at each other, Liu Yuan's eyes were a little red, and finally Bai Zhu spoke: "According to the tea guest, in those days, Lord Zhao was drinking tea, flipping through idle books, and looking at it as if he was passing the time. Sometimes, when I get tired of digging through books, I will get up and walk around and go to the window to see what is going on downstairs. ”
Lin Fei didn't speak, waiting for General Bai to finish speaking.
"The two of us visited the tea guests one by one in those days, and found that Lord Zhao got up from digging through the books in the past few days, and paced to the window where he fell that day," Bai Zhu said this, and his voice trembled even more, "According to this, ...... Based on this, Liu Yuan and I speculated that Lord Zhao's actions in the past few days were very suspicious and very likely...... Most likely in ......"
"Step on the spot." Lin Fei spit out two words from his mouth and said the words that Bai Zhu had not spoken.
Because he lowered his head and lowered his eyelids when he said this, the two of them could not see the true emotion in his eyes, but his tone was calm compared to the other two.
At this point, except for the human evidence at the time of the fall, all the physical evidence points to one thing - that is, Zhao Mengzhuo's fall from the building, when it is not as simple as being pushed by someone as seen by everyone. The greatest force of the fall from the eyes of everyone is very likely to come from himself.
If so......
"Why?" Liu Yuan, who turned his face away, muttered, "Why did Lord Zhao do this?" His family has a lot of property, a pair of children are sensible and filial, and Mrs. Zhao is in love with his husband and wife, and he will return to his hometown to be a rich man in two years. ”
"And our Lord Zhao has become more and more sleek in recent years, and he must not offend people, obviously he wants to do a good job in the last two years of Dali Siqing and leave the officialdom." Bai Zhu's voice was astringent, "Why did he do this?" ”
That's right! Why? Zhao Mengzhuo resolutely chose to fall from the roof of the building, abandoning the rich man's life return plan that he had already outlined for himself, abandoning his loving wife, sensible and filial children, why?
"Also, what were Master Chang and the others looking for when they turned over Lord Zhao's corpse that day?" Liu Yuan muttered, "What secrets are they hiding?" ”
Listening to Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's muttering questions, Lin Fei closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, compared to the two of them, he had a bigger doubt in his heart.
After returning home yesterday, his father and brother called him over and told him that the source of the cadre shares of the Star Picking Tower in his grandfather's hand was from the deceased General Yuan Qing.
General Yuan lived so simply during his lifetime, if it weren't for his grandfather talking about the dry stocks, who would have known that General Yuan would have such a gold mountain in his hands?
Guarding the mountain of gold but not moving...... Lin Fei never felt that General Yuan was a person who was greedy for pleasure, but for a person with a mountain of gold, General Yuan's life in Su Ri could be called harsh.
It is not proper to be too lavash in everything and to be too extravagant and greedy for pleasure; Can it be like General Yuan...... If General Yuan is the one who does not ask for foreign things in his bones, of course, it is not impossible for a simple person, but the General Yuan he sees every day will also save money to buy a favorite sword for himself and some favorite jewelry for his wife.
It can be seen that in terms of what people want, General Yuan is also an ordinary person.
Therefore, he only moved his own money, but the golden mountain guarded but did not even move, why is this?
Lin Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip, not long after eating the assorted broken golden rice, there was still the taste of the broken golden rice in his mouth, and after tasting the residual taste in his mouth, the eyebrows that had been smoothed out twisted again: There is still ...... Wen Xuance.
Wen Xuance was still studying when the accident happened, but he only remembered that it happened very suddenly, and it was only a short period of more than a month from the time he was engaged in sending it to the verification, and then to the Wen family's full house.
And Wen Xuance, who has always been known for his eloquence, is extremely indifferent to such life-threatening things, and only repeats one sentence over and over again - he has never harmed General Yuan, and he has never falsely preached the holy decree.
This argument is really pale and weak, and naturally it is useless.
These seemingly loose and unrelated things seem to be unrelated for some reason, but there is an invisible thread that connects them all. With his fingers moving, Lin Fei subconsciously touched into his sleeve pocket, the feeling of the tentacles was cold, and he didn't need to take it out, and he knew that it was a silver ingot.
Or, to be precise, an official silver that was sent to him along with Ping'an's mother and son.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Fei raised his eyes and looked at the case file pressed under the official seal in front of his case - it was the case file of Liu Sanqing and others, because Liu Sanqing had arranged everything properly, the case was closed quickly.
It's just that the follow-up of this case cost Lao Yuan his life.
Rubbing the official silver in his sleeve robe, Lin Fei had an inexplicable premonition in his heart: Zhao Mengzhuo's leap may be the key to unlocking the truth of these cases.
