Chapter 366: Returning Home
In the evening, a few people mixed up and ate in the Huamanlou, and took care of a nosy business that they didn't know whether to take care of or not, and then finally returned to the empty house in the south of the city that they had temporarily settled in the name of someone else.
In the dead of night, when they stepped into the door of the mansion, Ling Or said:
"You mean, you are ninety percent sure that Wu Yong was wronged and died?"
Xie Zhao nodded lightly and sighed: "Wu Yongqi, I used to play with him a few times when I was young, and I know a little about his past.
He was born into a poor family when he was a child, and when he was a child, his family suffered from a drought, so that his younger siblings could not resist starvation, his father struggled for the family's livelihood, and his mother was sick and bedridden for many years.
Later, it coincided with a huge war between the north and the south, and the imperial court issued an edict to recruit soldiers, and he was just the right age to enlist in order to earn some military food for his family.
Later, there were many wars on the north-south border in those years, Wu Yong was cautious and alert, and made many military exploits during his service in the Xie family's army, and soon gradually became a partial general from a pawn.
Later, after some years, the war between the north and the south gradually eased, and Wu Yong, who was already a general in the army, thought that the lieutenant generals in the army were redundant and there was no need to continue to keep the border passes, so he asked himself to be transferred to the southwest of his homeland, and wanted the people in his hometown to do some practical things. ”
Xie Zhao looked up at the night sky under the dark clouds in the sky, where there was hardly a trace of the bright moon and stars, and said abruptly:
"Although time moves forward, people are also subject to change, and nothing in the world will remain the same.
But I always feel that such a person who once cared about the people and himself 'rained' would not collude with mountain bandits, raise bandits, and even harm the township merchants just for the sake of some yellow and white things.
I still remember that when he asked General Xie to resign, he would rather give up the military exploits he had earned with his blood and sweat for many years, and also vowed to do something for the poor people in the southwest, hoping that the world would be less like his younger brothers and sisters who died young.
What's more, Mrs. Wu's death is so strange, which makes me even more sure that Miss Wu Ruoshu's suspicions are not groundless, and there may be a hidden reason in this. ”
There is another sentence that Xie Zhao did not say, that is, the attitude of Fu Jingyan, the son of heaven in the Southern Dynasty, which is also one of the important reasons for her doubts.
Emperor Jing has been introverted since he was a child, and he is not a cruel person. He was a prince who grew up day by day under the teaching of the scholars and Confucians of the Southern Dynasty, and when he was young, he learned the way of self-denial and revenge.
In this case, why did Emperor Jing, the Son of Heaven, who had always been quite lenient and benevolent, actually do that act of humiliating the corpse and drag out the "prisoner" who had already "committed suicide in fear of crime" and died in prison to show the public again?
He was not such a cruel king, and he had always been the most respectable and decent, which was not his style.
Xie Zhao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Therefore, which part of Emperor Jing's rebellion did Wu Yong commit caused the emperor to be so angry, not only executed such a cadre who had served two emperors and had meritorious services for the country and the people with the stigma of "colluding with mountain bandits", but even after his death, he still did not understand his hatred and did not even leave him with a whole corpse?
Xie Zhao unconsciously gently pinched the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, falling into his own contemplation.
Han Changsheng asked curiously:
"Then you just closed the door and whispered to Miss Wu, the daughter of Lord Wu, for a long time, but did you ask for any exact clues?"
Xie Zhao's attention was pulled out of his thoughts, and he shook his head and said:
"Miss Wu knows very little, and Mrs. Wu, who wants to come and go, may know a little clue, but it's a pity"
It's a pity that Mrs. Wu was killed nine times out of ten.
At that time, it seemed to be very different from the arrival time of the envoy from Zhaoge City.
It's just that Xie Zhao still hasn't figured out one point, that is, if someone came to kill Mrs. Wu and faked suicide to kill his mouth, then why did he only kill Mrs. Wu and not kill Miss Wu?
Could it be that the other party is so sure that Miss Wu really doesn't know anything about Lord Wu, so she has a lot of kindness to her?
Han Changsheng said with a bitter face when he heard this: "Hey, so isn't this a 'headless case' again?" In other words, what kind of physique do we have, how can we encounter this kind of thing wherever we go, what kind of indissoluble bond have we formed with the Southern Dynasty's 'according to the inspection envoy'? ”
Ling Or and Xie Zhao also looked strange when they heard this.
Han Changsheng's words were not without purpose, the little girl named "Feng Ruonan" that they had rescued in the big bazaar of the Hanyong Yuwen Department of the Northern Dynasty was the daughter of Feng Nuo, the envoy of Qianzhou.
And Miss Wu Ruoshu Wu, who they helped each other in Huamanlou today, is the daughter of Wu Yong, the southwest prosecutor who was convicted and suffered.
This is indeed a bit too coincidental, so that even Han Changsheng, a stunned young man who doesn't like to use his brain in everything, feels that something is wrong.
Xie Zhao originally thought that when Ling He's matter was over, he would take a trip to Qianzhou, even if it was to take out some relics of his relatives for Feng Ruonan.
Who knew that they actually learned the news that the "young master" of the Yongwang Mansion intended to design and kill Peng Xiao, a quasi-concubine, in order to separate the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty through Su Ning and Shun Teng in the city of Musk Dun in Western Xinjiang, so they had to travel thousands of miles back to the Southern Dynasty to intercept the other party's conspiracy, so that there was no time to go to Qianzhou again.
As they spoke, several people had already walked to the bedrooms that had just been cleaned by them in the afternoon.
Bo Xuan was still cold and cold, she took off her mask casually and bowed slightly, "Everyone, sleep well." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to his bedroom, consciously avoiding all topics related to the internal affairs of the Southern Dynasty.
Xie Zhao watched her disappear into the door, and said slightly:
I've always felt that there seems to be some kind of unknown connection in this, but I have never been able to grasp the focus."
She raised her hand and gently pressed the sore eyebrow bone, and said helplessly:
"I seem to be getting dumber, I don't have enough energy, and my brain can't move."
Han Changsheng pursed his lips and said in astonishment: "You still can't turn your brain?" If you turn faster, others won't be alive. ”
Ah Zhaojing's essence is about to become a sperm! She still thinks she's stupid, is there still a way for those people to live?
Ling He said lightly: "It's not that you are slow to react, but now that you are in the rivers and lakes, the news is inevitably blocked, and there is no effective way to obtain information from multiple parties, so it is not easy to connect many things in series." ”
Xie Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's okay, although it's slower, it's okay, the truth is there, and no one can escape." ”
She took one last look at the sky, and then said:
"That's it here today, everyone has been working hard all day, so let's sleep well."
