Chapter 10: A Visit to Chen's Mansion
In the Xuan Miao Temple, Xiaodao Tong Xuan Ce sneaked into the Dongguan room in the backyard with two men in black, the guards at the door had already been stunned, and Xuan Ce left after confirming that the two men had entered.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, the two men looked happy, took the account book in their hands and flipped through it and said, "This is it, this time I will definitely be able to knock Huan Xin down." ”
Another person excitedly continued: "We have made a great contribution this time, and the third prince will definitely be rewarded." ”
Outside the room, Xuan Cheng and Xuan Ce hid in the dark, and after seeing the two of them leave with the eaves of the tent book, Xuan Cheng instructed: "Contact Lord Huan, and say that something is out." ”
Huan Xin received two messages at the same time, the account book specially prepared for Lin Shangshu and the third prince in the Xuan Miao Temple has been sent out, and in a few days, the excerpt of impeachment of him will be played.
The second is the Yanque Lake assassin incident that day, and it took Li Zhen three days to track down the clues.
On that day, there were indeed assassins in Yanque Lake, and they also traced the stronghold of Liang Guozuo by following the arrow feathers, but the building was empty, and only a few corpses were brought back.
Huan Xin went to Tingwei to check the body, and Huan Xin, who was received by Tingwei Supervisor Kang Xiancheng, was one of the few officials in Jianye who was good friends with Huan Xin.
In the morgue, the placket of several corpses was lifted, revealing the tattoos on their chests that could only be seen by splashing hot oil, Huan Xin's fingers rubbed over these tattoos, and Kang Xiancheng beside him explained: "It has been checked, and there is no doubt that it is a tattoo made by Liang Guo." ”
Huan Xin frowned and said: "Zhong Qi doesn't know, I have dealt with Liang Guoren for more than ten years, and this tattoo is indeed all made by Liang Guo, but it is not the latest." ”
Kang Xian was puzzled, Huan Xin explained: "The internal struggle of the Liang State is fierce, the imperial power changes day and night, these assassins are under the command of the Yiwang of the Liang State, but he was placed under house arrest a year ago, and the old department was also executed by me half a year ago. ”
Kang Xiancheng understood: "The appearance of this old law at this time is probably deliberate. ”
Huan Xin nodded and said, "Lao Fu Zhongqi will go to the stronghold with me to find out." ”
In the General's Mansion, Wei Shuyao recuperated for a few days and got better, so she had the idea of going to Chen's Mansion, first, she wanted to confirm Chen Yuanke's state, and secondly, she wanted to make this life-saving drama come to a perfect end.
Juan Chun asked questions left and right: "What if Mrs. Chen refuses to admit it, and falsely accuses her that it was the lady who pushed her down?" ”
Wei Shuyao was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she didn't tell the two maids the truth, it was indeed her who pushed it down, but don't say it well.
"Chen Yuan is stupid, Chen Yushi is not stupid, I found such a good step, Chen Fu will definitely take it, even if Chen Yuan can be determined alone, but my reputation in Jianye is cowardly and incompetent, she is arrogant, and I am so seriously injured, who will everyone believe?"
Juan Chun was relieved when she heard this, and the master and servant went to Chen's mansion with condolences and dressed simply.
In Chen's house, Chen Yuanke cried and made a fuss, smashed everything in the house, and after waking up, she was locked in the house and not allowed to enter or leave.
"Mother, mother! I was pushed down, I was pushed down by Wei Shuyao! ”
No one answered outside the door for a long time, and after a while, the voice of Chen Wei rang out: "What you said has been checked by my father, how can Wei Shuyao have the strength to push you when she is weak and sick, she is also seriously injured, not to mention that there is no witness." You should be glad that Wei Shuyao told everyone that you fell into the water to save her. ”
Chen Yuan was powerless and collapsed to the ground, her brain was groggy after waking up, in fact, she didn't remember how she fell into the water that day, and now, Wei Shuyao said that she saved her.
Chen Yuan was completely stunned, she only knew that her marriage had been ruined. In despair, Chen Yuanke fainted on the couch until she was woken up in the afternoon.
"Erniang, Wei Niangzi has come to see you."
"What! What does she want to do! I don't see, I don't see! ”
Chen Yuanke's sharp shout came from the door, Wei Shuyao stood outside the door, knocked lightly on the door and said softly: "Mrs. Chen, I came to see you, are you okay?" ”
Chen Yuanke jumped up from the couch and rushed to the door to open the door with a "bang".
Chen Yuanke, who had been dancing with her eyebrows before, had lost a whole circle of weight, her face was haggard, her hair was scattered, her image was completely gone, and her eyes were burning and glaring at Wei Shuyao.
But she was stunned when she saw the person opposite, a long and deep scar on Wei Shuyao's neck went straight to her chest, and there was no trace of blood on her pale face.
Chen Yuanke suddenly began to doubt herself, she stepped back, shaking her lips and crying "wow".
Wei Shuyao examined Chen Yuanke's reaction, her voice was soft, and she said slowly: "That day I was playing by the lake, and suddenly a black shadow attacked so fast that I couldn't see it, although Mrs. Chen was unintentional, but she still helped me dodge the arrow, but I fell into the water, I can't thank you for my kindness, I will repay you." ”
It was this voice that made her think that the other party was weak and could be bullied, Chen Yuanke suddenly woke up in an instant, and cursed viciously: "Nonsense! It's all nonsense! Why are you pushing me? Why! You are so vicious, slut, you must not die well! ”
She shook her teeth and claws, raised her palm and fanned it.
With a "snap", Wei Shuyao fell down instantly, his head hit the beam, his cheeks were suddenly red and swollen, the wound on his neck was cracked, and blood oozed out.
Chen Wei arrived when he heard the sound, he glanced in the direction of Wei Shuyao, his eyes instantly tightened, and a box of white fungus fell out of Wei Shuyao's arms. He knew that it was obtained by Huan Xin's attack on Yandi, and he had given it to everyone in the capital, and Chen Fu had also received it.
In the midst of anger and fear, Chen Wei scolded Chen Yuanke sharply: "Presumptuous! Wei Niangzi is a three-grade order, how can she be rude! The day after tomorrow, you will go to the village to recuperate, and you will not see any visitors. ”
Chen Yuanke's body shook suddenly, she actually forgot that Wei Shuyao was already a three-grade edict, and she seemed to be in a daze that day, if she hadn't listened to Yihe and the county lord, how could she? How so?
Wei Shuyao, who was standing at the door of the room, showed a shocked expression when she heard this, and looked at Chen Yuanke with hazy tears and sympathy: "This is ......." ”
At this time, Chen Yuanke had completely collapsed, and she roared madly: "Aye, why? Why do this to me! Aye, Wei Shuyao is pretending at all, all pretending! ”
She raised her head and opened her eyes to look at Wei Shuyao viciously, and suddenly she was possessed by a powerful ghost, and pounced on her fiercely, Wei Shuyao retreated again and again, and Chen Yuanke instantly fell to the ground.
"Come on, send Erniang to the nunnery to think about it behind closed doors!" With a wave of Chen Wei's hand, the two family members stepped forward to drag Chen Yuanke away, and the farce ended with Chen Yuanke's hoarse crying.
Out of Chen's mansion, Wei Shuyao sat motionless in the carriage for a long time.
She looked at Chen Yuanke, and she didn't feel guilty when she thought that if she had succeeded that day, she would be like herself now. But when I thought that it was Chen Yuanke who was really like this, I was a little pitiful.
Did she wonder if she was doing the right thing? ”
The carriage drove and passed by another.
It was Lieutenant's driver's seat.
Huan Xin and Kang Xiancheng were discussing in the carriage and did not notice the situation outside the carriage.
"According to Brother Shuyang, this assassin is not the same person as the assassin of Wei Niangzi, so why did he come to Yanque Lake for?"
Huan Xin remembered the knife and said: "It's not the same person, I haven't investigated the assassination of Shu Niang yet, and Liang Guo's meticulous work is a major matter." ”
He was suspicious, but the ghost sent the gods to cover it up for Wei Shuyao, and Huan Xin didn't know why for a while.
Kang Xiancheng smiled when he heard this: "Brother Shuyang, let me ask you, do you really accept this marriage?" ”
Huan Xin's face did not change, but his eyes moved slightly, and then he said lightly: "The holy will of the Son of Heaven, of course I accept it." “
Obviously, such a statement did not convince Kang Xiancheng, he looked at Huan Xin, raised the teacup and drank it leisurely, and laughed twice.
Huan Xin changed the topic and said: "An assassin doesn't assassinate, and we find a stronghold so easily, except for wanting to deliberately lure me here, there is no other reason, since this is the case, I have to go." ”
As soon as they entered the gate, Huan Xin found a problem with this stronghold.
"It took a lot of work to renovate and make it old." Huan Xin touched the paint on the beams and pillars, if it was really old, this black paint would not be so bright at night, only old would show the strangeness of contradictions.
It seemed to be tattered and very bright, Kang Xiancheng nodded: "It is indeed to lead us here." ”
When he opened the door, Huan Xin stopped.
A faint fragrance hit his nose, very familiar, Huan Xin instantly felt a shock in his heart, and thought of something.
This fragrance is clearly the same as the fragrance in Wei Shuyao's boudoir.
