Volume 1: The Smoke Festival Chapter 19 Drama
Xie Wuyi was facing away from Miao Si, and he was already restrained before he could react.
Xiao Wu instinctively wanted to draw his sword, but was pressed down by Xiao Wei. He stood at the front and looked at Miao Si with a stiff smile:
"Brother Miao, do you know what you're doing?"
Miao Si looked down, and saw that Xiao Wei's wrist was about to burst out, so he confidently grabbed his weakness, and the dagger on Xie Wuyi's neck was also tightened by three points.
Xie Wuyi was very calm and calm, although her hands were twisted, the fingers of her left hand were still free, and it was not difficult for her to get out of his confinement.
She was just about to turn out the smoke when she saw Xiao Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she wanted to stop her movements. Xie Wuyi was puzzled, but still followed his hint and relaxed his fingers for the time being.
Then wait a little longer.
Believe Xiao Wei again.
The husband and wife were calm and relaxed, but they were in a hurry. It's not that he can't believe in Xie Wuyi's skills, but since he followed Xiao Wei back to Beijing, Xiao Wei's intentions for her have all fallen in his eyes. If Xie Wuyi has three longs and two shorts, will he still be able to see the sun tomorrow?
Xie Wuyi and Miao Si were too close, and it was impossible to expect her to cooperate with him, so Cheng Yi stood behind Xiao Wei and began to think about how to make a move so that Xie Wuyi would only be injured and not in danger of his life.
The plaintiff abducted the defendant, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly dropped to freezing, and the noise outside the government office gradually faded away.
"Miao Si, I want to ask you a question." Xie Wuyi suddenly spoke, "Do you really know me?" β
Miao Si was stunned, and at the same time, he sang loudly outside the hall:
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrivedβ"
Xie Wuyi quickly flicked his left finger away, and the silver needle and alkali powder in the smoke were emitted at the same time. Miao Si hurriedly covered his eyes, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Wuyi turned his head sideways to bypass his dagger, and Xiao Wei hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. Cheng Yi also followed the spot and burst out, kicking Miao Si down and knocking down the dagger in his hand.
The smoke showed a blue-purple light on Xie Wuyi's fingertips, and Xiao Yu, the king of Chu, had just walked into the courtyard.
Miao Siqiang, who was lying on the ground, endured the severe pain and glared at Xie Wuyi hatefully.
With the last of his strength, he roared with all his might:
"Qiao Wei, you owe us your life!"
With that, he slammed his head into Cheng's knife.
Blood flew out, Xiao Wei pulled Xiao Wu's folding fan with his back hand, and a "snap" unfolded in front of Xie Wuyi.
When Xiao Yu and Chu Yufeng entered the door, they happened to witness the scene of Miao Si's blood splashing white fan.
Ying Shun has gone crazy, an ordinary murder case, and actually gathered the three princes of the current dynasty and a Sanpin Shangshu in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, especially Xiao Yu, who is likely to be the next king with the emperor's acquiescence. Ying Shun even had the heart to die, and he couldn't wait to directly admit that he killed Li Shanren.
"The minister sees His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... "Ying Shun kneeled forward in a pool of blood," His Royal Highness ...... How did it come? β
Xiao Yu glanced around and snorted coldly, "You said that Princess Yan is suspected of murder, and the onlookers blocked two streets, how could this king not know?" β
Ying Shun's mind went blank and he almost forgot to reply. Xiao Wei laughed first and pointed to Miao Si's lost dagger.
"Do you want to check the dagger first?"
"Yes, yes......"
Ying Shun crawled on the ground and asked someone to inspect the dagger, its size and width were consistent with Li Shanren's wounds, and Xiao Wu also confirmed that the strength of his method of abducting Xie Wuyi just now was just enough to cause Li Shanren's death.
"It seems that Miao Si did kill someone to blame Princess Yan and ruin the reputation of Yan Wangfu." Xiao Wu sneered and looked at Chu Yufeng, "Lord Chu, this is your family's good florist?" β
Chu Yufeng looked at Miao Si and hurriedly denied it, saying that there was no such person in his house. His gaze swept across the hall and landed on Xie Wuyi's face, and he froze suddenly.
"You, aren't you the lady of the Qiao family?"
I'm really waiting here.
In fact, as early as when Chu Yufeng followed Xiao Yu in, Xie Wuyi knew that the matter was not over yet. At most, she can prove that she didn't kill anyone, but it's too difficult to prove that it's not Qiao Wei.
Although she doesn't look very much like Qiao Chun, which is very different from the portrait on the sea fishing document, and she has not been in Zeyang all these years, people who want to check can always find some traces. Chu Yufeng dared to set up this bureau, I am afraid that he would have known that the female thief who broke into his house that night was Xie Wuyi.
Xiao Yu looked coldly at Xie Wuyi, who was hugged by Xiao Wei, and his always cold eyebrows also brought a bit of exploration.
It's no wonder that Xiao Yu is introverted and gloomy, and Xie Wuyi doesn't like to look at such a pair of lifeless and perceptive eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head and leaned into Xiao Wei's arms pretending to be palpitating.
"Yo, when people are dead, they still sing and harmonize?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but say in a weird manner, "Don't you want to deceive this king, who doesn't know that your Chu Han was rejected by Qiao Chun, this is a grudge against Qiao Wei, right?" When he saw a girl, he said that it was Qiao Wei, why couldn't this king see that Princess Yan looked like that rebel? β
"Your Highness laughed." Chu Yufeng bowed respectfully, "Refusing to marry is a child's business, and the minister doesn't mind it for a long time, but it's impossible for the minister not to know the daughter of his former brother." β
My son is a good brother with you, Xie Wuyi sighed in his heart.
"Lord Chu, I have to thank you for saving this king from the thieves that day."
Xie Wuyi didn't expect Xiao Wei to mention the incident of that night at this time, so he only heard him say lazily: "But the third brother reminded this king, when Qiao Chun found that Chu Xiaoge forcibly occupied the land when approving the population land, this king remembered that Chu Xiaoge was later imprisoned and punished with a cane, right?" β
The ugliness was said in public, and Chu Yufeng's face suddenly became ugly. Xie Wuyi also turned his face to look at Xiao Wei in surprise, and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
Motivation!
Chu Han is Chu Yufeng's youngest son and has been pampered since he was a child, and Qiao Chun actually checked his land and let him suffer from prison, isn't this the reason for Chu Yufeng's revenge?
Could it be that the protection of the sky and innocence gave her a glimpse of hope?
Xie Wuyi was overjoyed and couldn't help curling his fingers. Xiao Wei, who was next to her, seemed to have expected it, and his left hand with a scorching temperature slid down Xie Wuyi's arm, probed into her fingers, and clasped tightly.
The breeze blew, and Xie Wuyi's heart was blocked all of a sudden.
"The ministers and godsons have no way, so His Highness laughs." Chu Yufeng sneered, still struggling unwillingly, "But Zhuangzi is Zhuangzi, Qiao Wei is Qiao Wei, how can His Highness mix it up?" β
Xiao Wei ignored him and turned directly to Xiao Yu, "What does the fifth brother think?" β
Xiao Yu's gaze was still glued on Xie Wuyi, and just as he was about to speak, Xie Xuan also hurried over.
"Your Highness." Xie Xuan picked up the book in his hand and knelt in front of Xiao Yu, "The minister heard that Princess Yan is suspicious, and the minister should not put his beak in this sect matter." But the princess was born in the Xie family, which is also a family affair of the Xie family. The minister was afraid that the princess's long-term illness would cause misunderstanding, so he dared to ask for the clan documents and asked His Royal Highness to take a look. β
Xie Wuyi looked at Xie Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help pursing his lips, his eyes slightly wet. According to Xie Zongyi's character, Xie Xuan was afraid that it would take a lot of effort to persuade him to hand over the documents, but in case this matter was brought up again a day later......
He was protecting her with the entire Xie family.
This brother is really ...... Troublesome.
Xiao Yu read the document, which wrote Xie Jiuniang's identity and origin in great detail, and he handed the document to Chu Yufeng, and Chu Yufeng couldn't say anything anymore.
"Isn't it just that I hate Qiao Chun and the sixth brother who interceded for him, what ...... something" Xiao Wu muttered quietly, and after being glared at by Xiao Yu, he didn't flinch because of his age, and said with a straight neck, "Foolish brother has no words, and please ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to decide!" β
Xiao Yu waved his hand, asked people to return the documents to Xie Xuan, and said: "Lord Chu, today you offended Tianwei should have been dealt with severely, and this king thought that you were an unintentional mistake, so I allowed you to go back to the house to reflect on it for a month, and think about what is the way of a monarch and a minister." β
He is now the prime minister's court affairs, Chu Yufeng did not dare to argue, so he could only kneel on the ground to thank him.
"As for you," Xiao Yu frowned and looked at Xiao Wei, who couldn't break it with Xie Wuyi, "As soon as I return to the palace, I will toss and jump, this king-"
"Next time, I will be punished for several crimes!" Xiao Wei made a deep sigh, "Brother Wang, remember Brother Wang's teachings!" β
Xiao Yu opened his mouth in embarrassment, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
He looked at Xie Wuyi with his hands and stopped talking, but Xiao Wei had already crossed the mess and grabbed Xie Xuan's arm, "Tomorrow, this king will take the princess back to Ning, and the eldest brother will tell his father-in-law to set up a wedding banquet!" β
After speaking, Xiao Wei pulled Xie Wuyi up and left, and it was too late for Xie Wuyi to salute the people with different expressions behind him.
"Xiaoyi, go this way, you weren't injured just now......"
Back on the carriage, Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi, who were like glue in front of them, let go of their hands tacitly and sat on one side.
Today's drama has been done enough.
Maybe it was Miao Si's deafening words before he died, maybe it was Chu Yufeng and Qiao Chun's holiday, maybe it was Xie Xuan who helped her prove her identity, or maybe it was Xiao Wei's arrangements made in advance, Xie Wuyi's mood could not be calm.
When she saw Feng Da sweating profusely in front of the carriage, she knew that Xiao Yu and Xie Xuan could come because Xiao Wei sent him to report the letter. Xiao Wu is a martial artist, and Xiao Wei is not taken seriously, and only by inviting Xiao Yu can this farce be truly ended.
He hinted that she was delaying the time to do it, and she interlocked her fingers aggrievedly, so that Xiao Yu could see with her own eyes what it was like for the couple to be bullied.
Only in this way will Xiao Yu punish Chu Yufeng, which is equivalent to giving a warning to the courtiers.
Just talk about it behind your back, you have to worry about it in person, and none of them can afford to provoke Xiao Wei's backers.
can arrange so many things in a short period of time, and personally sit in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, how can Xiao Wei be an incompetent and profligate man?
Is he doing this to avoid strife?
Xie Wuyi sighed depressedly, the royal family was really troublesome, but she was still stepping on the mud puddle, and she couldn't pull it out if she wanted to.
"Are you afraid?" Xiao Wei suddenly asked.
Xie Wuyi looked up and saw Xiao Weizheng staring at her thoughtfully.
Afraid of what? Are you afraid of Miao Si's abduction, or are you afraid of Chu Yufeng's identification?
The former must not be afraid, Xie Wuyi has already forced Miao Si into a corner, how can he rest assured that he will turn his back on him? She knew that the case could not be decided if she did not find the murder weapon, so she decided to give it a go, as long as Miao Si did it to herself, she should be judged by herself.
As for the latter......
Qiao Chun's grievances have not been washed away, the sergeant who died due to the escort of military rations has not rested, and the slightest mistake will lose everything, how can she not be afraid?
If you want to ruin someone, the best thing to do is to be suspicious. It will be like a seed, taking root and sprouting in people's hearts until it is unstoppable and grows into a towering tree.
She escaped today, and she may not be so lucky next time.
Chu Yufeng has already started, and her time is running out.
After a long time, Xie Wuyi replied: "A little, I don't know why Miao Si said that I am Qiao Wei." β
"Yes, why ......" Xiao Wei lowered his head, a room apart, his eyes had long lost the lazy and wanton smile when facing outsiders, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "Probably because we still have a lot of things to do." They are all blood relatives, fathers, brothers......"
"Xiaoyi." Xiao Wei closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage and called her, but did not continue.
I miss Big Brother.
No matter how good I am with my third brother now, it is my eldest brother who led me to grow up, taught me to read and write, and treated me like a brother and a father.
"Yao" is a hexagram, but there are thousands of hexagrams, and it is not possible to calculate that Xiao Yao's good years will suddenly fall on the land of another country.
Before Xiao Yao set out on the expedition, Xiao Wei wanted to see him off, but Xiao Yao said that it was not good to send too many people, and he was afraid that his father would be suspicious, so he didn't let him go. Xiao Wei didn't understand, and had a big fight with him.
Who would have thought that it would be their last.
Later, Xiao Yao's bones were buried in Qiongchuan, and all Xiao Wei could worship was a cold clothed mound.
Xie Wuyi looked back steadily, she could feel that at this moment, Xiao Wei in the shadow of the carriage was sluggish, tired, and lonely.
The ghost sent the gods to the ground, Xie Wuyi asked him: "If Wu Jin is fair, will His Highness believe Wu Jin?" β
Xiao Wei slowly opened his eyes.
It turned out that this was the witch in her heart.
The bright sky light suddenly passed through the curtain of the car, gurgling on Xie Wuyi's face. He looked at her, and saw that she was willing to comfort herself even though she was on guard, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burning heat, and he could hardly restrain himself.
The stomach "growled", but Xiao Wei smiled for a long time.
"Xiaoyi is a witch, of course I believe it."
