Chapter 41: The Abandoned Son
It is rare for the capital to be sunny for a few days in a row, the spring flowers bloom, the branches spit out green buds, and everywhere is full of vitality.
In contrast to the prosperity is the panicked imperial court.
The Song family was imprisoned, and finally convicted of disobedience, Song Qi and his party were uprooted by the Son of Heaven, from the second-grade big official, to the seventh-grade sesame petty official, the prison of Dali Temple was stuffed to the brim, and the severed head rice was sent in one after another, and the heads also landed one after another.
The Song family was no exception, with a total of 328 people from the side branch and descendants, all of whom were beheaded in the market, bleeding for more than a few days.
The shock of Song Qi's case was so great that the hands of the court officials in those days were trembling slightly.
4322 has given full play to the role of new functions, and has been reporting facts with Pei Yun for the past few days.
On that day, Long Wu/Wei found a bosom friend in the Song family, which was confirmed for his rebellion and rebellion, and then, Dali Temple impressed the Song family with punishment, Song Qi was not strict, did not admit guilt, and in the end, he was flogged to death in the interrogation room.
The Son of Heaven Long Yan was furious, disposed of the criminal officer, and also ordered the execution of the rest of the Song family.
An important clue was broken.
Is Song Qi really protecting the master behind him?
Pei Yungui always felt that there was something greasy in the meantime.
After all, what he has on his head, in addition to his own head, there are more than 300 members of the Song family.
And at the time of the initial trial, the emperor promised that as long as he confessed, he would be exempted from the death penalty and replaced it with the crime of exile.
When people are alive, there is hope for a comeback, and when people die, there is nothing.
Song Qi should not be the kind of person who resists stubbornly.
He was reluctant to let go, not for any brave loyalty, a disobedient minister, it was a bit of a joke to say this.
Pei Yungui guessed.
Either Song Qi may be just a foreign aid in the group and don't know anything, or the person behind this is too terrible, so terrible that even the royal family can't resist it, and Song Qi would rather die than face the price of betrayal.
Who is behind it?
Pei Yungui thought about it, and suddenly asked 4322, "Tongzi, you said before, you can't predict the direction of the script, and you don't know the relationship between the characters in the script, and the only information you know is the female protagonist, the male protagonist and the main villain, right?" ”
[That's right. 4322 answered.
"You said that the person behind the scenes, is it the main villain?"
Pei Yungui has been thinking about it for so long, and he always feels that the person behind the scenes is unfathomable and terrifying.
He seems to have a pair of invisible hands, pushing them forward, pushing the so-called "plot" step by step to reach the climax.
[The host's considerations can be reserved, but until all the answers are revealed, anything is possible.] 】
Pei Yungui boldly guessed: "You say, the black hand of the racecourse tragedy, the master of the Black Falcon Army, the sect leader who participated in the sect, and the master of Song Qi, will they all be Gu Rin?" ”
4322 was stunned and wondered: [Assuming that he is the person behind the scenes, how can the people who stabbed on the street a few days ago explain it, did Gu Rin direct and act by himself? ] 】
Pei Yungui was asked.
Her fingertips tapped on the table, and she fell into deep thought.
It is impossible to say that it is self-directed and self-acting.
Now that the emperor is conducting a thorough investigation with the Black Falcon Army and the Counselor, he can launch a chess piece in the capital at this time, which can just divert the emperor's attention and relieve pressure.
So, the chess piece appeared, and the line of fire that detonated himself was an assassination of Gu Rin, an official of the imperial court and one of the investigators of the horse farm case.
Ordering his subordinates to assassinate him can not only avoid loopholes to a great extent, but also remove his suspicion in the later selection.
But on that day, Gu Rin's anger after the assassination did not look like a fake.
And in the incident of the racecourse, if Gu Rin was the person behind the scenes, when he noticed that he had gone up the mountain to find gunpowder, Gu Rin's first reaction was to look for it with her, instead of killing her.
Gunpowder played a key role in the success of the racecourse.
If there was a problem with Gu Rin's identity, he wouldn't help her.
But if it weren't for Gu Rin, who else could there be?
So much has happened, Pei Yungui can already roughly figure out the main line of the book.
It is nothing more than the turmoil eleven years ago, starting with the villain's plot to seize the royal family.
is not only the main plot, but the villain who controls this line should also be the main villain.
Isn't Gu Rin?
Pei Yungui thought about it, and felt that there was no problem with his thoughts for a while, and then he felt that there were many contradictions in it, and there were many points that could not be matched.
That's it.
Pei Yungui sighed to himself, and his tightly locked eyebrows relaxed.
Since you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it for the time being, otherwise the more you think about it, the more messy it becomes.
When the time comes, everything will be solved.
Pei Yungui stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and opened the door.
The early spring sun shines on the face, and there is neither the cold of winter nor the heat of summer, but more of a sense of warmth.
Speaking of which, today is still a big day.
is her titular sister, Ji Qianxi's wedding day.
Jifu is full of lights and salutes.
However, this happy event has little to do with Pei Yungui, her courtyard is still quiet and cold, no different from usual.
Although her sister got married, she couldn't participate, and she was still confined to the courtyard by Mrs. Ji.
Woke up in the morning by the sound of suona and Dao Xi, after a while, the sound gradually faded away, thinking that it was the beginning of welcoming relatives, the sedan chair had already taken Ji Qianxi to her mother-in-law's house, according to etiquette, the Ji family also had to go out of the pavilion for a banquet.
Ji Fu transferred some maids to serve, and there were fewer people in the front yard, so he transferred a few from the backyard to guard the door.
Bihuan was also among them, and after sending breakfast to Pei Yungui, he went to the front yard.
Pei Yungui was overjoyed in his heart, and thought about going out for a few laps, but he didn't think that as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard door with his front foot, he was stopped by two small guys wearing short beats.
These two people are tall and mighty, and they look like practicing families.
Pei Yungui had no choice but to continue to stay in the courtyard.
After a day of nothing, she continued to exercise according to the task schedule set for her by the system.
After the last follow-up, Pei Yungui realized how important it is to have a strong physique.
Not to mention that the skill is important, at least you can't beat others, you can run.
--------
When the sun set, Pei Yungui sat on the steps with sweat on his head.
After resting for a while, I went to take a shower, and by this time it was getting dark.
Bihuan finally came back and brought dinner in.
"The old lady is back?"
Pei Yungui took the food box and asked casually.
Bihuan nodded, and took a step back.
She raised her chin, pointed to the food box, and urged Pei Yungui to open it.
On weekdays, Bihuan will go out directly after delivering the medicine, what's going on today?
Pei Yungui looked suspicious and slowly lifted the lid.
When the food box was opened, a bitter smell of medicine came to my nose.
Pei Yungui furrowed his eyebrows, only to feel that the smell was very familiar.
When I looked inside, I saw that in addition to eating, there was also a bowl of black medicine inside.
Pei Yungui immediately chuckled and took out the medicine.
She said what a smell of medicine.
It turned out to be a bowl of chronic poison.
My aunt was in a hurry to put her to death.
The corners of Pei Yungui's mouth hooked up a mocking arc.
Bihuan pointed to the bowl of medicine, made a gesture of raising his head, and motioned for Pei Yungui to drink it.
Pei Yungui did not hesitate, and saw the bottom of the porcelain bowl in a few bites.
Now that the fence is under the fence, you can only do it first.
I only hope that this bowl of medicine can allow her to completely escape from the control of the Ji family.
Pei Yungui's eyes moved slightly, covering up a trace of calculation.
Seeing that Pei Yungui obediently drank the medicine, Bihuan went out with confidence.
When the door closed, Pei Yungui's face sank, and he called in his heart: "Tongzi, are you there?" ”
[Here, what does the host command?] 4322 quickly responded.
"Tongzi, can you please help me monitor my uncle and aunt, and then relay their conversation to me?"
Mrs. Ji suddenly added medicine to her, on the one hand, perhaps because the medicine should have been taken regularly, and on the other hand, it was ...... Maybe something happened that made her aunt's murderous intent towards her even stronger.
When Gu Rin was assassinated, Pei Yun saw the Ji family and his wife on the day he returned, and he felt that their emotions were not right.
So she is more suspicious of the latter.
4322 readily agreed.
[Host, don't be so troublesome, 4322 will directly open sharing for you! ] 】
As soon as the electronic sound fell, Pei Yungui's eyes slowly unfolded something like a curtain, and the curtain shook a few times, and a picture appeared when he saw it.
It is a delicate courtyard with lush flowers and trees, boxy, exquisite cloisters, and lights in the house, and a few maidservants dressed in red stand outside the house.
This courtyard is the main house of the Ji family and his wife.
So 4322 shared what he saw with her?
Pei Yungui was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect this feature to be so mysterious.
Surprised, the picture flickered slightly, and several maidservants suddenly rushed forward and opened the courtyard door.
Pei Yungui immediately concentrated, stared at the picture, and took a closer look.
The courtyard door opened, and the Ji family and his wife walked in dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking at their appearance, they should have just come back from Ji Qianxi's husband's house.
There was a thick layer of tiredness between the eyebrows of the two of them, and Ji Yongqian's face was even darker, as if he had just been angrily reprimanded.
Looking at this scene, Pei Yungui became interested and looked at the screen with wide eyes.
The two of them didn't look like they had just attended a wedding party.
The maid opened the door to their room and waited quietly.
Mrs. Ji stepped into the door and said coldly: "I have something important to discuss with the master, you are waiting outside, and you are not allowed to open the door without an order." ”
"Yes."
The maid obediently led the door and withdrew.
Then, the picture turned to the house.
Ji Yongqian sat in front of Android, silently pressing his eyebrows, as if he was tired, and Mrs. Ji's complexion was not normal.
The silence blurred in the air, and even the air became condensed.
"Master, are you going to sit still and wait for death?" Mrs. Ji finally couldn't help it and said, "Song Xiang is dead, who is next, don't you understand?" ”
"Song Qi is just an outcast." Ji Yongqian said lightly.
"Abandoned son?" Mrs. Ji suddenly raised her voice and said sharply: "On the battlefield, anyone can become an outcast, today is him, tomorrow is us, does the master have the ability to predict the future, so as to ensure that we can live a worry-free life and not become the outcast?" ”
