Chapter 11: Ups and downs
The tea on the table was already cold, and none of the three people standing in the room had time to care about this, Yan Xun stood in the center, and the file of Feng Biao's assassination was spread out on the table.
Originally, these confidential documents should have been properly placed in Dali Temple, and outsiders could not easily reach them, but Gaoshu's eyes and ears were accessible in all directions, so they had to find them, and Yan Xun also understood what he should do.
Gao Shu doesn't trust Dali Temple, only if he takes the first step to find out the truth, he won't leave too many opportunities for the other party to do something.
"The master is still suspicious of the second lady?"
Yan Xun didn't leave anyone else in the house, only Han Yan and Ning Yuanjun's commander Yun Sheng, both of whom were his henchmen, and he didn't plan to hide Han Yan's questions right now.
"The timing of this woman's appearance is too coincidental, and there are many suspicious points on her body, so you must guard against it," although he said this, he actually listed Xie Yu as the number one suspect in his heart, "Put her next to her father-in-law, and something will happen sooner or later." ”
Yunsheng didn't follow them to Dali Temple to save people that day, and he never saw this "second lady", but he heard something about it from the review of the two in the past few days, and he had already been suspicious of Xie Yu in his heart.
Yun Sheng is not very old, his heart is also floating, and he is not as safe as Han Yan in speaking and doing things, but he is blinded by the Qinglou Oiran: "The little general has always seen people accurately, I heard a little when I went to Dali Temple to listen to the news before, and I was in a hurry to go back to report, so I didn't inquire in detail, the second lady is not a good family, and it is not too much to be cautious." ”
"What do you hear?"
Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Yan Xun had corrected his mind, he panicked, thinking that he had made a mistake: "This ...... But what important things did the subordinates delay......"
When Han Yan was looking for flowers in the building, he was in Dali Temple to inquire about the case, this file was brought back by him, at that time only heard that the people of Dali Temple were going to the second lady to get people, thinking that they could not let people fall into the hands of Dali Temple, so that the captain and the little general were subject to others, so he hurriedly went back to Yan Xun and informed him of the actions of Dali Temple and Feng Biaoyu's incense.
Yan Xun raced against time to find the flower building to get Yun Ni incense, left Yun Sheng there to deal with the aftermath, and took Han Yan and Ning Yuanjun to Dali Temple by himself, and the people rescued them, and the biggest stone in Yun Sheng's heart fell to the ground, so he forgot about what he overheard.
Yan Xun shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the current situation is deadlocked, and any clue may become a breakthrough, so you can tell me about it." ”
The clouds are rising.
"When my subordinates were in Dali Temple, I overheard the master of Chen Zheng's subordinates instructing the people below, saying that the second lady was a disaster star, and asked someone to check her background......"
"Scourge?" Han Yan and Yun Sheng glanced at each other, and there was something inexplicable in their hearts that seemed to be breaking ground, "What he said is ......"
"It was the Jingzhou flood that year." Yan Xun's words confirmed his guess.
They went to check Xie Yu's background early in the morning, and her deed of sale in Xunhualou was personally handed over to Han Yan by Lao Bustard, which clearly wrote her place of origin and background, and was brought into the Gao Mansion along with the dowry, and now it is estimated that it is in Shen Zhu's hands.
"Jingzhou floods?" Yunsheng was stunned, he knew about the floods in Jingzhou back then, or no one in the whole of Shangjing knew about it, the catastrophe in Jingzhou was in a uproar, I heard that a lot of people died, the city was almost empty, and a large gang of displaced victims traveled to Beijing to ask for protection, but he didn't understand how this matter was related to Xie Yu, "Isn't the second lady a person from Beijing?" ”
Yan Xun said lightly: "Miss Shangjing, it's better than fleeing disasters." ”
Yes, if the life experience of the victims of Jingzhou was passed on, there would not be such a scenery as it is today.
"But this matter can be covered for a while, but not for a lifetime, if you leave the country in the future......" Yun Sheng suddenly thought about it in the middle of his words, and shut up in a sneer.
Yan Xun's face is not very good-looking, Gao Shu decided to accept her as a concubine, he must have seen her deed of sale and knew her true life experience, even so, he still had to accept her into the house, if he didn't have other plans, he really treated her with deep affection.
Yun Sheng suddenly said: "In this way, the second lady is a survivor who escaped from Jingzhou back then, but even so, the second lady is just a poor woman, why is she called a disaster star?" ”
Yunsheng is straightforward, with clear grievances, and now that he knows that he understands Yu's miserable life experience, his attitude towards her immediately turns around, and his face can't help but have a trace of sympathy-
"Could it be that the second lady has suffered other disasters?"
Han Yan explained what he had investigated: "I learned from the old bustard of Xunhualou that the second lady went to Beijing with the victims of the Jingzhou disaster eight years ago, and there were too many displaced people in Shangjing at once, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she closed the city gate and wanted to lead them to Danzhou next to it. ”
Yunsheng still remembers the scene of that year, although he was not very old eight years ago, but he still remembers those scrawny and describeable how miserable the victims of the withered disaster were.
"But at that time, somehow, there was a sudden epidemic among the victims, and now they were not accepted in Beijing, and Danzhou did not want them, so this group of victims could only sleep outside Beijing, and the court sent a doctor to go out to treat, and when they came back, they shook their heads, saying that they could not be cured."
"At that time, there was already starvation all over the city, and the people who were tired and starved to death were mixed with the sick and dead, and they were crying during the day, and they cried at night, and the soldiers who defended the city at that time couldn't bear to see it, but there was no way, I heard that someone came back and fell seriously ill, and when the illness was cured, he retired from the army and returned to his hometown to farm."
"That'...... What about the second lady? Where are you? Yunsheng asked tentatively.
Han Yan lowered his eyes, a little unbearable, and said, "That's right." ”
